Chapter 220 Before Horse Racing

He also said some interesting stories about mountain hunting. Yunzhou was young, and he was afraid that he would continue to be sad to attract Yuanxiu's question. He also cheered up and asked questions. Xue and Jinyi were helping. Mian'er took the opportunity to drink herbal tea to moisten his mouth and came back and talked around Yunzhou for a long time. Yuanxiu saw that Yunzhou had calmed down. , so he found an opportunity to end the topic and ordered Jinyi to accompany her to take a bath: "When I just came back, I asked Jincomb to prepare water. It's just right now - you came out in a hurry. Do you think you didn't bring a replacement dress? It doesn't matter. We are about the same size. Go to Jinyi and get my new clothes. Many wild animals in this mountain are rarely tasted in the palace. Let's eat together when you bathe and change clothes.

Yunzhou cried a lot. Although he washed his face, he ran all the way from Chang'an. It was always uncomfortable to deal with Yuanxiu's topic at this time. After listening to Yuanxiu's arrangement, he took Mianer away.

There were only Yuanxiu and Xueshi left in the main hall of the bamboo building, and the two suddenly fell silent.

After a moment, Yuan Xiu was about to speak, but Xue said first: "Princess Yunzhou seems to be a person with a heart." When she spoke, she looked calm, as if she had never quarreled with Yuan Xiu. Instead, Yuan Xiu was a little embarrassed, squeezed her lips, and took the initiative to pick up a few porcelain pots to drink a cheese for her, which was a reconciliation between the two. Then she said, "Aunt's eyes are so amazing!"

"There is nothing to boast about. Although the princess of Yunzhou is not so dignified and chaste, she is also a girl who grew up in the palace. She can make her come here from Chang'an to cry despite the demeanor of the princess of a country. What will she be in addition to being wronged by her lover?" Xue said lightly, "Although Ji Meiren and the former emperor have gone, now it is your brothers and sisters who can make her angry. These people have no conflict with the princess of Yunzhou. At most, they just have a few words on their mouths. Princess Yunzhou is no better than Princess Dongping, that is, who will be angry when the queen quarrels with her. It's hard to say like this."

Yuan Xiu narrowed her eyes, and she did not hide it from Xue: "It happened that Wenrong was sent to Chang'an by Cai Lan. Originally, I was just going to ask him."

"How could Yu Wenrong know?" Xue asked strangely, but there was no need for Yuan Xiu to answer. She quickly reacted, "How many times have you taken him out before, but this boy saw Yunzhou's whereabouts?" After all, he is young, and his legs and feet are much more flexible than Huo Wei's eyesight - just looking at your face, who does Yunzhou like? Isn't it appropriate to be the son-in-law?"

"If you say it's not appropriate, it's not all." Yuanxiu poured a cheese drink for himself, took a sip, and said uncertainly, "The last time Yu Wenrong saw her meet Zheng Wei in Furong Garden. Aunt Zheng's Langjun wanted to know what she knew. When the fifth sister-in-law gave us the list of emperor's son-in-law, one was drawn up by the fifth brother. The first one was him. I've seen him, and she was very He is Yingwu and has good skills, but there are only a few things - the first one is from the Zheng family in Xingyang. The five surnames and Qiwang are enough, but Zheng Shu, the founding man of the country, who was selected by the previous emperor for the eldest sister, is not bad. However, the fate with the eldest sister is not enough. Although the former emperor was still there at the time of this incident, it was also quite discussed in Chang'an City. After a while, at the beginning of the year, there was a lot of noise in the eldest sister's house because of a child. The old things of the Zheng family were inevitably brought up again. The barbarians followed the workshop and slandered a lot in privately. I'm afraid the Zheng family was even more unenthusiastic to Shangzhu. Previously, when the eighth sister looked at the list, the fifth sister-in-law also reminded me that I felt that the Zheng family did not want to Shang at that time. Lord."

The rich families in Guanzhong, especially the five surnames and Qiwang, have always been proud of marrying each other. Even the royal marriage cannot exceed this sense of glory. In the early years of this dynasty, Emperor Taizong also issued a decree to prohibit seven families from marrying with each other, but it could not be completely banned. Later, gradually There is nothing we can do, so we have to marry them by themselves.

Because many of the noble women in Mengtang have bold and fierce people, or indulgent people, the more they are, the more they are of the family, the less they like the Lord. This is clear.

"At this time, the most important thing for the family is the reputation and status of the family. There are rumors that they would rather marry a poor daughter than be Li's son-in-law. Why didn't they marry a wife and get a princess and buy it on the ground? The hope of the government?" Xue said, "If this is the only one, it's nothing. As far as I know, although Zheng Wei are also from the Zheng family in Xingyang, the great grandfathers of the two are the brothers of their compatriots. Besides, most of the emperors of this dynasty are cheerful, but the world has the wealth and beauty of love for peonies, and the joy of love for lonely grass. From the emperor Gaozu Didn't you get along well with the emperor's son-in-law?

Yuanxiu shook his head and said, "Before the cherry banquet, Emperor Jiashan celebrated the birthday of the head of Shengping County. The aunt did not go to the Pearl Mirror Hall, but she forgot - after riding on the big Wanliang horse called Red Fire in Yunzhou, the red fire was inexplicably shocked. It was this Zheng Wei who saved it, and the tenth brother also followed. As a result, the tenth brother was under the shade of flowers. When I took a nap, I heard someone talking about it in private, saying that this matter was the strategy that Cui Lang taught Zheng Wei to return to the red fire. On that day, Cui Fengwu and Cui Nanxun went to the Huanggu Mansion to celebrate. I think it was the latter... These two people's hearts are not right. I don't think Zheng Wei's approach to Yunzhou is necessarily a good heart.

"This may not be so simple." Xue was old and shrewd, but he saw more than Yuan Xiu. After listening to her reason for concern, he lightly reminded him, "That big Wanliang horse was originally won by the horse race between Shengping County and Zheng Wei, but Zheng Wei later regretted and wanted to get it back because the horse was not his, but his cousin's..."

Yuan Xiu frowned: "His cousin... is today's Chinese concubine!"

"Zheng Wei was able to save the princess of Yunzhou from the runaway Dawanliangju that day. His riding skills are not bad. Since he dares to take the initiative to suppress the mount and gambling, under normal circumstances, he should have at least 50% chance of winning before he dare to press up his own possessions. Jiu Niang, please say it's right?" Xue seemed to smile and said, "What Princess Changyang said that day was wrong. I just saw you chatting happily. At that time, it seemed that it had nothing to do with Jiu Niang. Naturally, I would not do that disappointing thing - aunt, I am the daughter of Chang'an, a young girl of various families about the same age as me. How old I am. What's the temperament? It's not just these people. At that time, there were some famous people like Qiu Shiniang in the teaching workshop. How can they not know? Seeing the sun fooling outside, he is not deaf and blind. He always listens much more than others.

"Does the aunt mean that he will lose for another reason?" Yuan Xiu pondered for a moment and said, "According to what he saw in the imperial aunt's mansion that day, Shengping and Pei 24 Niang were taken for granted and did not seem to have done anything. Besides, although Shengping is the county owner and Pei 24 Niang is also the daughter of the family, Zheng Wei's identity is not low, not to mention that he is still Wei Huafei's cousin. At that time, Wei Huafei was certainly He didn't enter the palace, but Wei Zuo had already been a figure. Even if he was in the way at that time, he later wanted to return to the red fire. How could he not catch the reason that the horse race itself repeatedly thought about whether there was no space to drill? I heard that these people live in Chang'an and have known each other since childhood. They are very clear who has some ability. If someone cheats..." Speaking of this, Yuan Xiu suddenly woke up, shouted in a low voice and repeated, "Who has some ability? Then if Zheng Wei is not 70% or 80% sure, how can he press the red fire?

Xue Shi said lightly, "I heard that that big Wanliang horse was not originally given by Wei Huafei, but by Boling Cui Nanxun!"

Yuan Xiu's face changed slightly: "Cui Nanxun!?"
