Chapter 9 Zheng Man'er
Many luxurious things were removed from the house of the eldest princess of Pingjin, and the servants also changed their clothes. At first glance, it was very deserted. The family ordered Lu Fu to open the middle door to welcome Yuan Xiu's car into the inner courtyard steps. Cai Lan helped Yuan Xiu get out of the car. Lu Yu went forward and saluted and said with a smile, "Your master has calculated that the wife is waiting for you in the inner hall. "
Picking blue and picking green feel a little uncomfortable. Although Princess Pingjin is a sister, she should go to the hall to welcome her. After all, Yuanxiu rarely visits her door.
I only heard Lu Fu introduce Yuan Xiu to the stairs and said, "Originally, my wife wanted to meet her at the door, but she was entangled by Princess Chengyi, so I ordered a generation to welcome her."
"Why should the elder sister be so polite?" Yuan Xiu said, "Is the wind and cold good?"
Empress Dowager Zhaoxian is also regarded as the concubine's grandmother of Princess Chengyi. The princess should take small merits, but unfortunately, she has been caught a cold and is very ill during this period. Princess Pingjin loves her daughter and begged for Fengchun for not to participate.
Chengyi is now 12 years old and is the only one under the knee of the eldest princess of Pingjin. Her biological father is Zheng Qian, the former husband of Pingjin and the son of Zheng in Xingyang, not the current son-in-law of Pingjin. Therefore, he is surnamed Zheng and his nicknamed Man. Yuanxiu's last time she saw this niece was at the royal family banquet last year. Although she was three years younger than Yuanxiu, she was spoiled by Pingjin as if she were a child.
When Lu Lian heard Yuanxiu ask about the little master, a trace of mockery flashed in his eyes and said, "The princess is fine."
This mockery happened to be seen by Yuanxiu. It was strange in his heart that Lu Yu was the mother of Pingjin, the son of Fanyang Lu's side. When Lu Fei was still alive, because Pingjin came out of the cabinet and deliberately came from her mother's house, he was deeply trusted by Pingjin. This person may only have respect and is not loyal to Pingjin's son-in-law, but to Pingjin and Pingjin Why shouldn't the bloodline be so slight?
What's more, Yuanxiu felt that Zheng Man'er might be a little unruly, but he was not as good as Pingjin.
The talking room has arrived at the main hall, and there is a chattering woman's voice. Yuan Xiu didn't listen carefully. He stepped in and called, "Sister!"
Before Princess Pingjin said anything, Zheng Man'er had already run over happily: "Aunt Nine! Aunt Nine! What do you think of my flying man?"
She raised her hand, opened her claws in mid-air, roared low, and grabbed Yuan Xiu's face!
Picking blue and picking green are so scared that they scream: "A family, get out of the way!"
Yuan Xiu was also shocked. He subconsciously raised his hand to cover his face with his sleeves and pushed her away. Cai Lu tried to open his hand to block it, but he heard Zheng Maner's whistle. The thing suddenly took his claws, and the soft meat pad kicked on the green hand and jumped aside!
When they fell to the ground, the three stared at it and found that the object was colorful and their eyes were bright, like a cat and a tiger, but it was a half-headed lance.
"The princess is so reckless!" Cai Lan thought of the shocking scene just now. He was angry and scolded regardless of his superiority and inferiority, "How important is face to a woman? If you hurt the A family just now, how will the princess deal with herself?
Zheng Maner defended, "Feilang was raised by myself. He is the most obedient, but I asked him to take his claws. How could he hurt his ninth aunt?" Seeing Yuanxiu's pale face, Zheng Man'er felt a little guilty and stuck out his tongue and said, "Aunt Jiu, I'm really sorry. I just want to joke with you."
"It's okay." Although Yuanxiu's pale face was not all scared and a little angry, she was also a little angry, but she was ashamed of her elders and didn't care about a joke with her niece. Pingjin spoiled her daughter. She was still waiting there to watch a good show. When she heard Cai Lan scolded her daughter, her face sank, but on second thought, if this matter spread to Feng Chun's ears, Zheng Man'er is also 12 years old. In two years, he will look at the county horse. In case Li Qian holds a grudge against it... So he endured it. Seeing that Yuan Xiu said he didn't care about it, he was relieved and laughed again and said, "Yesterday, Jiumei said that she would come in person. I specially asked Xiannu to prepare a banquet in the water pavilion. Does Jiumei want to go there now?"
Seeing Yuanxiu frown slightly, Pingjin immediately thought of the reason and explained, "It's just placed in the water pavilion and is not ready to sing and dance. It's also to see Jiumei live in Fengyang Pavilion all day long after returning to the Taiji Palace. At least the water pavilion can relax."
Yuan Xiu nodded.
The water pavilion was built in the center of the lotus pond in the princess's mansion, and was connected to the shore by a nine-curved wooden bridge. At this time, it was suddenly warm and cold. The withered lotus was harvested by the gardeners in the princess's mansion, leaving dry lotus stalks swaying on the surface of the water. The willow trees by the pool began to sprout a layer of new buds, just like the curtains hanging on the three sides of the water pavilion, like clouds like clouds and fog, as if walking. , you can also have a look.
The side connected to the water pavilion and the bridge is half a roll of bamboo curtains. It can be faintly seen that there are already people in the pavilion, which must be a fairy slave.
Pingjin first took Yuanxiu and Chengyi to step on the wooden bridge. The people in the pavilion had noticed it and quickly lifted the bamboo curtain to welcome them: "Have you arrived?"
Yuan Xiu listened to the man's voice and couldn't help looking up at him, but see a weak-age man in a green shirt and standing in front of the cabinet, with a beautiful face, like a woman. His skin was even more delicate and blue and green. He was a little embarrassed. When he approached, he could even smell a beautiful fragrance. Yuan Xiu suddenly recognized the man. Identity, don't look at it more.
"Yuanxiu has come. How is the banquet?" Pingjin was very close to this person. As he asked, he came forward and took his hand. After entering the water pavilion, he introduced, "Yuan Xiu, this is a fairy slave."
Yuanxiu against each other. Tong was not interested, but nodded coldly. Pingjin saw it and smiled slightly. After all, the fairy slave was busy with lust and said, "The banquet has been prepared. Please invite your master and your wife to enjoy it here. I will leave first."
"It's okay." Pingjin knew that Yuanxiu was arrogant. If she reluctantly left Xiannu to serve, she would not appreciate it. At that time, she would embarrass the Xiannu and ruined the atmosphere, so she patted the back of Xiannu's hand soothingly. "Go down and stare at them to prepare."
Xiannu responded with a smile, and his eyes flowed, which made Pingjin lose his mind and left the water pavilion briskly.
The banquet has been set up. Zheng Man'er sat at the bottom and waited for Yuanxiu to enter the table. She quickly picked up the wine bottle: "Just now, you are reckless. Please don't care about Man'er!"
Although Zheng Maner is a childish, her nature is not bad. When Yuan Xiu saw that her face was full of regret, the slight anger also dissipated, and he quickly covered his sleeves: "It's just a joke. If it hadn't been for my tired and slow reaction in the past few days, I wouldn't have been so anxious."
Cai Lan originally knelt behind her and Cai Green to serve her. Hearing the words, he quickly moved away a few feet and leaned down to plead Zheng Man'er. Zheng Man'er stuck out his tongue and smiled and said, "You are distressed for the ninth aunt. It's my fault. How can you be guilty?"
Yuanxiu drank a little in a hurry on an empty stomach, coughed a few words gently, and the round words to Pingjin's mouth turned into: "I'm not confused. Your ninth aunt just sat down, so you can't wait to persuade him to drink?" With that, he quickly asked someone to remove the cold dishes in front of Yuanxiu and began to cook hot dishes.
Dream Tang likes to eat deer. The first one is the deer, with corn sauce, and the mouth is delicious. Pingjin introduced: "This deer is wide to know that you came and personally picked it out from the deer farm."
"My brother-in-law has a heart." Wei Kuanzhi's single name is a frank word, which is a disciple of the side branch of the Wei family in the south of the city. He is five years younger than Pingjin. Rumor has it that the eldest princess of Pingjin and her son-in-law Zheng Shu were separated in those years. His contributions are not great. Yuanxiu and this brother-in-law have not seen him twice, and they are not familiar with each other. They just entered the house and did not see him. I didn't care. At this moment, when I heard Pingjin specifically mention it, I said politely.
In fact, the mourning period of Empress Dowager Zhaoxian has not passed at this time. Even if Zhaoxian is only the mother of a commoner, it is not appropriate to eat meat at this moment, but Yuanxiu knows that Fengchun may not abide by this festival, so he can't blame Pingjin. After three drinks, Pingjin directly asked, "I don't know why Jiumei came here today?"
Yuan Xiu has wanted to speak for a long time. Looking at Zheng Man'er, Zheng Man'er said curiously, "Aunt Jiu, why can't I listen?"
"Good boy, when I came over just now, I saw that the spring was blooming well over there. Can you fold a few branches for Aunt Jiu?" Yuan Xiu avoided her question and coaxed. Zheng Man'er saw that Yuan Xiu was openly going to detach himself and said disappointedly, "Okay." With that, he gave Pingjin a winn.
Pingjin nodded slightly. Zheng Man'er knew that it was his mother's consent to tell him afterwards, so he left happily.
dismissed Zheng Man'er and reported all the servants in the water pavilion. Yuan Xiu thought for a moment and coughed, "Do you know that Zhao Lifei was pregnant again in Wanchun Hall yesterday afternoon?"
"Is there such a thing?" Pingjin was stunned. Yuanxiu stared at the wine bottle in front of him and said slowly, "It's a good thing that the fifth brother's son is prosperous, but... Zhao is just a concubine, but the fifth sister-in-law has no children so far, this matter..."
Pingjin also frowned. At this moment, there was no third person on the Water Pavilion and Jiuqu Wood Bridge. She spoke more calmly: "If it is the middle palace, the more children there are, the better. The harmony of the emperor and queen is a sign of the prosperity of the country. However, the Zhao family, from a humble background, is shallow and ignorant, but it is just a few good color. Now Wulang has three sons under his knees. Unexpectedly, two sons came from her. In the long run, it will definitely endanger the middle palace! At that time, I'm only afraid of the society..."
"That's why I came to the eldest sister to discuss it." Yuan Xiu said, "The king of Han is six years old and is about to be enlightened. The fifth sister-in-law has nothing to do so far. If it goes on like this, I'm afraid that the courtiers will propose that there is a direct and no direct elder, but the eldest sister also knows that the fifth brother and fifth sister-in-law are young, and no one can tell what will happen in the future."
Pingjin looked solemn: "You're right!"
The two looked at each other, and Yuan Xiu bowed slightly at the banquet: "Ahuang is young. Please come forward and remind the fifth sister-in-law about this matter."
"Don't worry, I will go to the political hall in two or three days at the latest." Pingjin solemnly responded, "It's not just the king of Han and the king of Wei who were rude to me. It's really these two small things that I can't see that I can entrust the foundation!" What's more, Gong Xian is elegant. After all, the Wang family is a member of the Taiyuan Wang family. I don't know how much better they are than the Zhao family, which can be adjusted. Teach the mother of the king of martial arts!"
