Chapter 449: It's a Little Thing
"Your marriage should also be on the agenda, otherwise it won't delay your good years!" Baochai took Xia Yuegui's hand and said.
"Yes......" Xia Yuegui bowed her head and responded.
Of course, she will not resist this result, because this is the best outcome.
As for whether Baochai can be the master of Xue Pan, everyone present will not doubt this, and it will be completed if she proposes this marriage.
Thinking that the two daughters had a good marriage, Xia Huang almost cried with joy, and couldn't help but want to pray to God.
When Baochai praised Xia Yuegui to several wives, in order to raise her "value", an uninvited guest came outside Xiangwang's mansion.
After three days of travel, Cui Xiuqing entered the capital at noon, and only now did he come to the gate of the palace.
"Girl...... Are you really familiar with Princess Xiang? People won't drive us away, will they? ”
Cui Xiuqing, a female streamer, of course, could not enter Beijing alone, this time she asked her brother to accompany her.
Because she wanted to keep it secret for Zhang Jinge, Cui Xiuqing only said that she was here to say goodbye to the princess, so her brother didn't know her true purpose.
"I have a good relationship with the princess, but if I want to see her, I must make people understand, but this is a little difficult!"
"So...... Big brother has to use some means! ”
The so-called means are actually to use silver to open the way, which is also the unspoken rule of wealthy families, and the Cui family's brother is naturally a clear man.
But the problem is that the palace is not an ordinary wealthy family after all, and he doesn't know if it will work with silver.
"Okay...... I'll give it a try! ”
"What should I say, big brother, do you remember?"
"Remember...... You've said it a dozen times! ”
So Cui Xiuqing could only wait in the carriage, she thought that it would take some time to get results, but her eldest brother came back after a while.
"Sister, it's such a coincidence, the female officer who came out of the door just now happened to be on an errand in the Shangyi Bureau before, and I still remember your name......
"As soon as I said your name, she said that you should wait in the mansion, and she would order someone to pass it on to the princess!"
The eldest brother of the Cui family was very excited, after all, this saved money, and the matter was done smoothly.
Cui Xiuqing didn't expect this result that the start was so smooth, which made her more confident about what she was going to do next.
"Girl, let's go over!"
Here, Cui Xiuqing entered the mansion from the door to wait for the call, and in the back garden of the palace at the other end, the news was conveyed layer by layer, and finally Ying'er informed Baochai.
Hearing the name Cui Xiuqing, Baochai remembered it very deeply.
During the days of Shangyi Bureau's "training", they did become friends and talked about poetry and life philosophy together.
"Let her in!" Baochai commanded.
"Yes!"
Here, Cui Xiuqing, who was allowed, was led into the curfew by the maid, and finally came to the garden where Baochai and the others were.
Although she has seen the world when she enters the palace, the "checkpoints" of entering the palace still shocked Cui Xiuqing, and her originally calm heart gradually became nervous.
In the garden, the women were gathering in twos and threes, taking fish food and scattering it into the lake, including Xia Yuegui's mother and daughter.
And Baochai sat in the gazebo, thinking about his brother's marriage.
The girl of the Xia family made her very satisfied, and when she went back, she told her mother, and the matter was settled.
"Princess Qiyu, the girl of the Cui family is here!"
Baochai looked up and saw Cui Xiuqing not far away, and immediately said, "Let her come over!" ”
After a few breaths, Cui Xiuqing came to her, and then worshipped: "Cui Xiuqing, the daughter of the people, knock on the princess!" ”
"Excuse me!" Baochai smiled.
After Cui Xiuqing got up, Baochai Fang said: "I haven't seen you for nearly a year, and now you are more and more out, so I don't dare to recognize each other!" ”
Originally, Cui Xiuqing was quite nervous, but when she heard Baochai's words like a sister next door, she instantly returned to the time of a year ago, when they were also laughing.
"The light of the folk girl fireflies, how dare she compete with the bright moon, Niangniang is a fairy-like character......"
Before Cui Xiuqing finished speaking, Baochai waved her hand and stopped her: "Okay...... Don't say such polite words between you and me! ”
"Didn't you say a few years ago that you were going to go north to recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors, why are you still staying in Beijing now? Could it be that Ling Zun has abandoned this plan? ”
"Not really, it's ...... last year"
It's always a joy to be reunited after a long absence, especially for Baochai.
Although she sees a lot of people every day, most of them are acting and wrongful on the spot, and it is really rare to meet one who can really open her heart and speak.
The so-called once you enter the palace gate is as deep as the sea, it is by no means a joke.
This is also why, when she found out that Daiyu had a tendency to be estranged, Baochai would care so much and immediately "correct" it, because she didn't want to lose her only confidant.
Baochai and Cui Xiuqing recounted the old days, and the others were also very interested and did not come to disturb, and after feeding the fish food, they returned to their seats and talked in twos and threes.
Drinking tea and chatting, the life of the ladies is so unpretentious.
After a free conversation, half an hour has passed, and the conversation is over.
Just as Cui Xiuqing was thinking about how to express her request, a female official came to Baochai's side and said, "Niangniang, the moon platform is ready!" ”
"Hmm!"
Then Baochai got up and said to everyone present: "Everyone...... On the side of the moon watchtower, I invited a small drama to come and play, let's go over and take a look! ”
"Thank you, Princess......"
"Mother first, please!"
Everyone smiled, but Baochai looked at Cui Xiuqing in front of him and said, "Sister...... Let's go, come with me to the play! ”
Although she was very anxious, Cui Xiuqing still did not change her face, and nodded with a smile.
A group of people rushed along the path to the moon platform, there are different kinds of exquisiteness everywhere on the road, and everyone is dizzying, only sighing that the palace is really extraordinary.
Soon everyone came to the moon platform, and at this moment the musicians were already waiting, and they would play after everyone was seated.
When Cui Xiuqing was flustered, she was pulled by Baochai to sit down next to her and told her what program she had prepared today.
Soon the opera was staged, and the scene was even more lively, seeing Baochai's graceful demeanor and fascinated by it, Cui Xiuqing didn't know how to speak.
Just as he was thinking, Baochai's voice came from the side: "Sister, but what trouble are you encountering?" ”
Cui Xiuqing was suddenly shocked, and turned her head to look at Baochai again, but saw that the other party was still staring at the stage.
Seeing that she didn't answer, Baochai turned his head to look at her, and said with a smile: "If you encounter trouble, you have to say it, don't go outside!" ”
Cui Xiuqing's thoughts, how can she hide from Baochai.
The so-called Three Treasures Hall for nothing, before talking to Cui Xiuqing, Baochai had guessed that she would have something to ask for on this trip.
At this time, Cui Xiuqing also understood that now was by no means the time to be polite, and there would be no such store in this village after that.
"Niangniang, I won't tell you anything, the people are here, and they do have something to ask for!"
"Since the mother asked, the folk girl said it cheekily!" Cui Xiuqing said very sincerely.
"It's all said don't be outside, what are you talking about?"
"You are in trouble and want to come to me, this is to treat me as a sister, don't say these words between sisters!"
To be honest, with Baochai's current identity, he can still say these words sincerely, which makes Cui Xiuqing very moved.
"What's your problem? Come on! ”
At the urging of Baochai, Cui Xiuqing had no choice but to speak: "This matter is not related to me, but a close friend of the people's daughter......"
Next, Cui Xiuqing told the details again, especially emphasizing Zhang Jinge's loyal character.
After listening to Cui Xiuqing's story, Baochai realized that she had come to Beijing for her friends.
In this day and age, it is unusual for a woman to be able to do this for her friends.
And this is enough to prove that this Cui Xiuqing is a friend worth making deeply, and Baochai is only a pity that she is going to leave the country.
As for Cui Xiuqing's so-called trouble, in Baochai's eyes, it is just a battle between five or six petty officials, and it is completely a trivial matter that is not worth mentioning.
"Ladies and gentlemen...... I think you heard what this girl said just now? Baochai looked at the people on the left and right.
It's nature to love to listen to gossip, and when Cui Xiuqing began to tell, these noble ladies all paid attention, and the entanglement of the Zhang Xu and Li families did not disappoint them.
"That girl from the Zhang family is a fierce woman, and one woman does not serve the second husband...... Well said! ”
Some Baochai made a statement and set the tone, and the others also echoed it, and they did not hesitate to praise Brother Jin.
It is also vividly explained here that it is called not looking at the face of the monk and looking at the face of the Buddha.
After everyone stopped talking, Baochai Fang asked: "Such a good girl, you can't bear to see her die?" ”
"If anyone can help, they should help at this time, so they will also accumulate virtue for themselves!"
And if Baochai is not bad, someone on the scene can help, and it is effortless.
Liu Zhang, the wife of the Shuntian prefect, got up very consciously, bowed to Baochai and said: "Niangniang, my lord is familiar with the Yiyang prefect, just let him send someone to say hello!" ”
Although the location of Shuntianfu is not easy to sit on, it is the undisputed first prefect in the world, and it is a very face-saving existence to the outside world.
Shuntian Mansion greeted Yiyang Mansion, how could the Yiyang Governor not give face, and Yiyang Mansion was in charge of Xin'an County, so the matter could be easily solved.
"My sister has come here and gone, and she finally asked me for this, you have to help me do it...... Otherwise, my princess will have no face in the future! ”
When Baochai said this, Liu Zhang paid a lot more attention to this matter, and immediately assured: "Don't worry, the princess, the courtiers will be more concerned about this matter, and they will come as soon as there is news!" ”
"Hmm!"
After answering, Baochai looked at Cui Xiuqing beside him and said with a smile: "You still don't thank Mrs. Liu!" ”
Cui Xiuqing came to Liu Zhang's and bowed very solemnly and said, "Thank you, madam!" ”
"Hurry up, please get up, it's just a trivial matter, why bother!"
After helping Cui Xiuqing up, Liu Zhang looked around and said: "Running around so much for a friend, the girl can be called a strange woman, no wonder she can be so valued by the princess!" ”
On the surface, he was praising Cui Xiuqing, but in fact, he was praising Baochai, and then everyone else did the same, and the atmosphere on the scene became more harmonious for a while.
Then Cui Xiuqing was called to her side by Baochai, and then everyone listened to the play together.
After solving the troubles, Cui Xiuqing really relaxed, and at this time, she could not only listen to the play with peace of mind, but also discuss it with Baochai.
There have been countless occasions like this with the wives, but there are very few exchanges of such depth today.
Soon an hour passed, and seeing that the sun was about to set, the wives consciously said goodbye and left.
Although Cui Xiuqing also wanted to say goodbye, she was left behind by Baochai, and specially arranged a place for her to stay, wanting to keep her for a few more days.
Cui Xiuqing didn't expect this result, and she couldn't refuse Baochai's enthusiasm, so she could only agree to stay for a few more days.
Speaking of the palace, at this time, Zhu Jinghong walked out of the main hall of Kunning Palace, and his expression was quite frustrated.
Move with emotion, know with reason...... Zhu Jinghong used all the methods that could be used, but he still couldn't move the old mother.
The queen just said a word, and other things can be tossed by Zhu Jinghong, but it is absolutely not okay to go to the northwest.
This also means that Zhu Jinghong can only stage a bitter drama in the future, forcing the queen to agree by playing a scoundrel.
"Brother Thirteen, you stop!"
Zhu Yunsheng's voice interrupted Zhu Jinghong's thoughts, making him subconsciously look in the direction of the East Hall.
"Brother Thirteen, you are inevitably not kind, but I'm afraid that you won't treat me as a sister anymore!"
Since you want to do a bitter love drama, it's better to start it now...... Zhu Jinghong thought so.
The next moment, he walked to the east hall with a sad face, approached Zhu Yunsheng and sighed: "Third sister, your thirteenth brother is already difficult enough, don't embarrass me anymore!" ”
"Are you difficult? What are you embarrassed about, now that you are out of the palace and unrestrained, you are not so happy how to come! ”
Speaking of this, Zhu Yunsheng said uncomfortably: "It's all because you acted rashly, which made the queen mother angry many times, and even the thirteenth sister-in-law was scolded for you several times!" ”
Zhu Yunsheng's words made Zhu Jinghong speechless, and in the end he could only argue strongly: "Third sister, you won't understand my suffering!" ”
"That's right...... Why didn't you see them? ”
The "they" here refer to Daiyu, Xiangyun and Zhen Qin, but what Zhu Jinghong wants to see most is actually Daiyu.
"Thirteenth Master, I'm here!" There is no doubt that Zhen Qin was the first to come out.
"Neither of them are in there?" Zhu Jinghong then asked.
"They're still practicing calligraphy!" Zhen Qin replied.
"Practicing calligraphy? What words to practice? While speaking, Zhu Jinghong had already walked into the main hall, as if he was really interested in practicing calligraphy.
"Brother Thirteen, I haven't finished my words yet!" Zhu Yunsheng stomped his feet, and then followed.
Entering the hall, Zhu Jinghong came to the study, and sure enough, he saw Daiyu Xiangyun writing.
"Thirteenth Master, why are you here?" Xiangyun looked up and asked, with a slightly surprised expression.
"Yun girl, can't I come over?"
Zhu Jinghong was talking to Xiangyun, but Daiyu continued to bow her head and write, which was really abnormal.
So Zhu Jinghong walked to her side and looked down at the words written on the table: "Lin girl, it's rare to see you so serious!" ”
After chatting with Baochai at noon, Daiyu is now more and more ashamed, and she doesn't dare to chat with Zhu Jinghong anymore, even if it is a decision that goes against her heart.
"If you don't take it seriously, how can you practice well!" Daiyu replied calmly.
"That's right, I'm not as serious as you, so I've not been able to write well, you have to teach me when you have time!" Zhu Jinghong said helplessly.
However, Daiyu did not answer, which made Zhu Jinghong look very embarrassed.
At this time, Zhu Yunsheng had already walked into the study, and when he came to Zhu Jinghong, he asked: "Thirteenth brother, you said that you would take me out of the palace to play, but now I haven't even been to your palace, what do you say about this?" ”
"It turns out that you want to go to the house, it's just a trivial matter!" Zhu Jinghong said calmly.
"A trifle? Since it's a trivial matter, why do you keep prevaricating? Zhu Yunsheng asked.
"It's just that I was too busy in the early stage, and now that I'm free, when do you want to go to my house?"
"Today? Tomorrow? ”
Zhu Yunsheng asked tentatively, happiness came too suddenly, making her feel extremely excited in an instant.
Leaving Daiyu aside, Zhu Jinghong walked up to his sister and said slowly: "You can play as long as you want, but you have to let your mother agree!" ”
"Third sister, many things are not reluctant, but I am really ...... mother"
His face showed bitterness, Zhu Jinghong sighed and said, "What is my mother, you also understand......"
If you want to use bitter love to force the queen, you must first have someone who waving the flag and shouting, and Zhu Yunsheng is undoubtedly very suitable.
If he wants to achieve this, he must first let Zhu Yunsheng "hate" himself and the enemy, and this speech is completely to lead her into a trap.
"...... It's too harsh indeed! Zhu Yunsheng complained.
