Wang Ziteng was about to speak, when suddenly a little servant shouted from afar, "Hou Ye, Hou Ye!" The Seventh Prince is here, and he has already arrived at the gate! β
"Seven Princes!"
Yang Chengenhou was taken aback, "Why did the prince come in person?" Hurry up, go to the back to deliver the message, and Ben Hou will go to meet him."
Wang Ziteng didn't wait for Yang Chengenhou to speak, so he said in surprise, "The Seventh Prince actually came to the Hou Mansion to pay New Year's greetings to the Hou Ye, which shows his admiration for the Hou Ye!"
It is a great honor for Wang to meet the prince! β
Yang Chengenhou wanted his monkey, and when he heard him say this, he naturally couldn't say no, and led Wang Ziteng to meet the treasure together.
The treasure is draped in a snow-white fox fur, the hair, neckline, placket, and cuffs are inlaid with dark purple mink fur, and the head is wearing a sable fur Zhaojun set, and the bright red Qingxin stone hangs down on the forehead, which is more and more lined with his red lips and jade face, and the treasure is solemn.
"Uncle is polite!"
Yang Chengenhou's outstretched hand was not embarrassed to stay in the air, and the habit of liking Buddhist family rituals has not changed!
"Prince Teng has seen the prince!"
The prince shouted and bowed, and the treasure tower hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop, "Amitabha, the king must not make such a big gift."
As he spoke, he seemed to react, and immediately changed his words, "Lord Wang doesn't have to be polite, please get up quickly."
Wang Ziteng didn't seem to hear the treasure tower call him "donor", so he got up along his support, and leaned over again, "The minister heard the news that the prince was blessed with Qitian and had recovered from his illness and returned to Beijing. β
Bao Gong said with a smile, "Lord Wang is so polite, the poor monk once heard Miss Xue say that her uncle is very powerful, and it is also the king's luck to be able to see her today."
The prince was stunned for a moment, "Miss Xue? Is the prince familiar with the niece of the minister? β
Bao Yuan immediately nodded with honor, "Exactly, Miss Xue accompanied her mother in Cining Palace a few years ago, although she doesn't like to take care of this king, but poor monks can often see her in Cining Palace, and they are also familiar."
Wang Ziteng, "......"
Why didn't anyone talk to him about something so important?
Sure enough, if you are not in Beijing, you will suffer a lot of losses in everything!
"Hey, by the way, the poor monk heard that Lord Wang, you have been out for the past few years, and you can't even return to Beijing for the New Year?"
The prince hurriedly gathered his mind and respectfully restricted.
Bao Yuan laughed, "Miss Xue is just your uncle, you are still away all the year round, she must miss you, in this way, the poor monk will go and ask the imperial brother to transfer you back to Beijing, okay?" β
Wang Ziteng, "......"
Happiness came so suddenly, he was a little overwhelmed.
Only the prince Teng is an old man who has been up and down in the sea for many years, and the happiness comes suddenly, he can still catch it, and he is busy kneeling down again, "Then thank you to the prince, the minister is really grateful!" β
Bao Bao still grabbed him accurately, and said with a smile, "Don't thank the poor monk, the poor monk heard that Miss Xue has a cousin named Luan and Feng, and she loves to scold her the daughter of the Jia people, you are in Beijing, and others will not dare to scold her like this anymore."
Well, after he threw Yu Xin to the south to feed the insects, Sister Xue also had someone to support her outside the palace!
Wang Ziteng's heart jumped, his cousin Luan Ah Feng is not Sister Luan?
Yang Chengenhou tentatively spoke, "The prince cares about Miss Xue so much, it is really a blessing for Lord Wang and Miss Xue."
Bao Bao smiled heartlessly, "That's as it should be, the queen mother likes Miss Xue very much, and said that after the first month, she will accept Miss Xue as a righteous daughter and be the lord of the county."
That Miss Xue is my sister, my sister, I naturally have to take care of it! β
"Sisterβ"
Bao Bao said and chattered again, with a fragrant appearance, "Sister, it's so good, the poor monk is also a person with a sister!"
Where's my uncle and cousin? The poor monk went out of the palace this time to ask his cousin to take the poor monk to walk around the capital and find an excellent and fun meeting gift for his sister. β
As he spoke, he couldn't help but take out the purse around his waist, and took out an orange candy from the top one and put it in his mouth.
Well, he's going to have a sister soon, and he's no longer afraid that snacks won't be enough to eat without saving!
Wang Ziteng's pupils shrank, and he remembered that he had never seen this kind of string of purses before he left Beijing.
After he returned to Beijing this time, he suddenly found that this kind of purse appeared on the waist of almost every noble lady.
Mrs. Xue boasted to him just the day before yesterday, saying that this kind of purse was first thought up by Sister Bao, and she earned a lot of money for the Xue family's shop.
Although this kind of purse is chic and convenient to carry different kinds of small snacks, it is cumbersome after all, and it is not of much practical use, and men rarely wear it.
But now, the only prince who has a fief in this dynasty wears one with him.
The prince's eyelids jumped, for fear that the treasure building would see that something was wrong, so he hurriedly lowered his head.
"Squeak-"
Wang Ziteng only felt that something flashed in front of him, and the next moment he saw a monkey pick up the wrist of the treasure building, and went to pull the purse in his hand, obviously wanting to eat the snacks inside.
The monkey was just a very ordinary gray-haired monkey, but he was wearing a precious white fox fur jacket and skirt, and a small sable fur Zhaojun suit, which was almost exactly the same as the costume of the treasure building.
Wang Ziteng originally thought that a monkey came out of the Yangfu Mansion, and it must be the pet of Yang Chengenhou, but when he looked at it this way, he felt a little uncertain.
Yang Chengenhou was also taken aback, and then he was ecstatic, "The prince also likes to raise monkeys?" β
"Soon-to-be-become a person with a sister" Bao Gong was in a very good mood, generously gave Sun Xiaosheng an orange candy, smiled and nodded, "Monkeys are much smarter than other animals, and the poor monk also raised a white ape and a chimpanzee."
Sun Xiaosheng took the candy, couldn't wait to stuff it into his mouth, squatted on the shoulder of the treasure building and chewed the sugar with relish.
Yang Chengenhou was overjoyed, "Sure enough, people say that nephews are like uncles, nephews are like uncles, princes, I will take you to see the monkeys I raise, which are also extremely smart and rare."
As for the two that Wang Ziteng just sent, they haven't been tamed yet, and he doesn't dare to show them to the treasure.
hurt this precious egg, he can't afford to pay for his life!
The treasure is embarrassed, "but the poor monk still has to go to the shop."
Yang Chengenhou took care of everything, "After reading it, I will go shopping, it's too late to go back to the palace today, just let me help the prince go and talk to the queen mother!" β
Over the years, I don't know how many monkeys have been sent to him, but like to raise monkeys as much as he does, and raise monkeys so well, Yang Chengenhou really hasn't met one.
This suddenly met one, or his own nephew, Yang Chengenhou couldn't control his emotions for a while, and very enthusiastically pulled Wang Ziteng with him, and asked Baoyuan, "Lord Wang, this monkey has been raised since he was born?"
The monkey is a thing that it would not wear unless it had been dressed since childhood."
Bao Bao remembered Xue Baobao's thoughts and methods in order to coax Sun Xiaosheng to wear all kinds of strange clothes, a bright smile bloomed at the corner of his mouth, and he nodded.
Sun Xiaosheng was raised by him since he was a child, but he learned to wear clothes, but he didn't, so there was no need to tell his uncle about this.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Wang Ziteng accompanied Bao Gong and Yang Chengenhou to see the monkeys, stayed for lunch together, and hurried to Xue's mansion after saying goodbye.
He wanted to ask Sister Bao about accompanying the Queen Mother.
He originally planned to ask Mrs. Wang first, and then ask Mrs. Xue when he had a bottom in his heart.
I didn't want to learn that Mrs. Wang and the others had gone back, so I couldn't help but ask strangely, "Why did you go back at this time?" β
It was just after noon, and it stands to reason that we would have to wait until the evening to get back.
What's more, the people of Jiafu and the relatives of the Xue family are still sitting there, why did they go back?
When Mrs. Xue saw him ask, she couldn't help but redden, pulled him aside, carefully explained the quarrel between Wang Xiluan and Xue Baobao, and choked up, "Brother, it's not that I favor my daughter."
When you are familiar with it, my brother will know that Sister Bao is the most generous and gentle person, and she never competes with others.
Somehow I provoked Sister Luan's eyes, as long as I saw Sister Bao'er, I would definitely sneer a few words, and now I am scolding Sister Bao'er in front of me for having a mother and not a father!
But my sister-in-law didn't talk about restraint, but also helped Sister Luan to scold together!
This is poking at the hearts of our mother and daughter! I really couldn't bear it anymore, I was afraid of being rude, so I asked my sister-in-law and Sister Luan to go back first."
Mrs. Xue was afraid that her daughter would be infamous, so she only said that she drove Mrs. Wang's mother and daughter away.
Wang Ziteng had long suspected that the cousin who scolded Xue Baobao as "the daughter of the Jia people" was Wang Xiluan, and when he heard Mrs. Xue say this, he was even more sure, and he was furious at the moment, "I have only been away from home for a few years, and I have made them so arrogant!"
Sister, don't worry, I will definitely call them to apologize to you and Sister Bao, and give you justice! β
Mrs. Xue wiped her tears and said, "No need, I don't dare to ask them to make amends for me and Sister Bao."
I just ask my brother to restrain Sister Dianluan, don't bully Sister Bao as soon as I see Sister Bao, shouting that the daughter of the Jia people, the daughter of the Jia people, the one who has no father, poke our Sister Bao'er's heart! β
Wang Ziteng said earnestly, "Sister, don't worry, the gift will be compensated, I promise that this kind of thing will not happen again in the future, otherwise I will cut off Sister Luan'er's tongue and give it to Sister Bao as an apology!" β
When Mrs. Xue saw Wang Ziteng say such a thing, she was moved and at a loss, and waved her hand again and again, "Brother is serious, and you must not talk like this during the New Year."
Wang Ziteng changed the topic, talked about the encounter with the treasure building in Yangfu today, and asked, "I heard the prince say that Sister Bao went to Cining Palace to serve the Queen Mother a year ago, what happened?" β
Mrs. Xue started with Xue Baobao and Lu Li, and talked until Xue Baobao entered the palace, only omitting the fact that Mrs. Yang came to the mansion to propose marriage and was rejected.
It's about her daughter's reputation, even if it's her brother, she won't say it.
Wang Ziteng clapped his hands excitedly, "No wonder! The prince also said that the queen mother likes Sister Bao very much, and is ready to take Sister Bao into the palace after the Lantern Festival, and wants to accept Sister Bao as a righteous daughter and seal the county lord! β
Mrs. Xue was surprised and delighted, and looked at Wang Ziteng in disbelief, "Did the prince really say that?" β
Wang Ziteng nodded, "What the prince said himself, there will be absolutely no mistake, I just said that Sister Bao is a creative person, and it is really good!" In the future, maybe it will be more creative than the virtuous concubine! β
Mrs. Xue also chanted the Buddha in a loud voice, the Buddha blessed, fortunately, she was not confused for a while, and promised Mrs. Yang to send Sister Bao to be a side concubine, otherwise where would there be today's glory?
Wang Ziteng tentatively spoke, "I listened to the words of the Seventh Prince, who was quite fond of Sister Bao'er, and Sister Bao was born well, but it may not be impossible to climb up."
Mrs. Xue was still thinking about this matter just now, how could she agree, and shook her head again and again, "No, no, Sister Bao has already decided on a family affair, we don't want that, we don't want that!" β
Wang Ziteng didn't expect Xue Baobao to have already decided on a family matter, so he hurriedly asked, but seeing that Mrs. Xue refused to spit out, she only said that it was excellent, so she didn't ask again.
He also told Mrs. Xue not to reveal any words about the county lord in front of people, so as not to let the Queen Mother Yang know, but it is not beautiful.
Mrs. Xue also knew that it was powerful, and she promised again and again.
Wang Ziteng was not at ease, and after a few more admonitions, he said goodbye and left.
After Wang Ziteng returned home, he immediately called Mrs. Wang and Wang Xiluan over, and first asked Mrs. Wang why she didn't explain to him why the Empress Dowager Yang came to Xue Baobao and Lu Li in person, and also called her into the palace to accompany her.
Mrs. Wang is also wronged, if according to her temperament, Wang Ziteng's niece has the queen mother's blue eyes, she will definitely tell him as soon as possible.
But Wang Xiluan specially came to persuade her, telling her not to talk to Wang Ziteng about the Queen Mother.
Wang Xiluan had no head and no brains, and went around in circles for a long time, and Mrs. Wang knew that her daughter didn't want her father to come back with great difficulty, and her attention was all focused on outsiders.
She felt sorry for her daughter, and thought about how Wang Ziteng would not leave Beijing until the New Year.
As long as she persuaded Mrs. Xue and Xue Baobao to intercede for Wang Ziteng's stay in Beijing before that, it would be no different from Wang Ziteng talking about it himself.
If she can really get things done by herself, Wang Ziteng will praise her for being capable and virtuous.
She just didn't expect that before she found a chance to intercede, Wang Ziteng learned about it and came to question herself.
She couldn't find any good excuses for a while, and only said that she had forgotten.
Wang Ziteng didn't believe it, and sneered, "You don't have to shirk, it's just that you and your sister are not in harmony, and Sister Luan always wants to suppress Sister Bao'er, so you don't want to talk about Sister Bao'er's benefits."
Wang Ziteng said that Wang Xiluan and Mrs. Wang scolded Xue Baobao for "having a mother and not a father" today, and ordered them to immediately follow him to Xue's house to make amends.
Wang Xiluan was both respectful and afraid of his father, and he was so frightened that he couldn't stop crying, and he didn't dare to say anything that he didn't want to make amends.
Mrs. Wang didn't dare to refute, so she only hugged Wang Xiluan and cried vigorously.
Wang Ziteng was upset, opened the warehouse, personally picked out a piece of extremely valuable medicinal jade, estimated that the guests of the Xue family should have left, and took Mrs. Wang and Wang Xiluan to the Xue family again.
Mrs. Xue has always been soft-hearted, and when she saw that her sister-in-law and niece really wanted to kneel down to make amends for her sins under the intimidation of her brother, she hurriedly grabbed them and said in a loud voice that it was not necessary.
Wang Ziteng thought for a while and said, "Your eldest sister-in-law will forget it, and you will accept Sister Luan's worship."
She is a junior, so she is not making amends, and she should kowtow to you a few times."
Mrs. Xue saw that he was resolute, so she had to accept it.
Wang Ziteng took out the medicinal jade again, gave it to Xue Baobao with his own hands, and said with a smile, "This is the local toast offered by the local toast when he inspected southern Xinjiang, and it is made naturally."
The close-fitting is warm in winter and cool in summer, calms the mind and calms the nerves, strengthens the body, and can also avoid snakes, insects and poisonous ants, so wear it well."
