Chapter 135 Edict 1
"When did you go to the uncle's house last time?" Huang Jingjie couldn't help reminding that the fifth prince was tapping his tall fingers and stopped, slightly annoyed and said, "Big brother will go to the government office on the fifteenth day of the first lunar new year. I will also go to the government office on the fifteenth day of the first lunar new year. I will see you at least twice a month."
"I'm going to eat noodles and go to the government office by the way." Huang Jingjie answered carelessly, and the fifth prince's eyes flashed a few times: "It's to go to the government office and eat noodles by the way. All right, let people take two barrels of wine, some new dishes, and all the gadgets I bought last time, and I'll go to my eldest brother's house.
In March, there were many gossips and major events. In the early morning, the lucky people who took the provincial examination filed into the Huixian Hall and sat full and concentrate on writing poems. In addition to the rustling sound of grinding ink and writing, the hall was the slight sound of turning the paper. The officials walked among the students with their hands behind their backs. Time stopped, reading people one by one, soft-soled green satin shoes fell to the ground silently.
In front of the gate of the Duke of Yongguo Mansion, Eunuch Zheng rode on his horse and motioned to Xiao Xier, the servant, "Go and send a message. There is an order for Li Xiaoning and the five women of the Li family. Let them come out to receive the order. Be gentle and don't scare others." Xiao Xier answered, jumped off the horse, trotted up the steps, knocked on the empty door, and a gray-haired old servant poked out. His eyes were probably dazzled. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the little waiter up and down. Xiao Xi'er said politely, "It's for Li Xiaoning..."
"I found the wrong one!" The old servant rudely interrupted Xiao Xier's words: "This is the Duke of Yongguo, and the four rooms are next door!" After saying that, before Xiao Xier could react, he had shrank his head back and closed the door. Xiao Xier's polite smile was smashed on her face and she didn't even take a few mouthfuls of water. Since he went under the door of Zhongshu with Zheng, those ministers were polite to see him, and now he was actually an old man. Han just spilled a bowl on his face and closed the door!
But the official Zheng has to be gentle! Xiao Xier raised her hand and rubbed her face, ran down the steps and went back to the eunuch Zheng first. She personally led the eunuch Zheng's horse and walked along the somewhat dilapidated wall. Sure enough, she saw a double-opened black door. The door seemed to be newly opened, extremely ordinary, not the official eunuch's black-headed door, and there was no horse platform in front of the door.
The eunuch Zheng looked at it and sighed secretly. No wonder the fourth brother dared to suppress Sister Li to carry her into the house, but in more than ten years, Li Zhongxian's family has been defeated like this. It's really like a lamp. Eunuch Zheng raised his hand. Xiao Xi'er went up the steps again and clasped the door ring a few times. After waiting for a while, the door opened and the old servant Sun poked his head out his head. Xiao Xi'er learned to be good this time and asked first, "Is this Li Xiaoning's house?"
"It's our second uncle's house, not the house." Lao Suntou was very sincere. Xiao Xier suppressed her desire to roll her eyes and swallowed her saliva: "There is a will for Li Xiaoning and the five women of the Li family. Hurry up and ask them to come out to receive the order."
"What are you talking about? Will? Did you go to the wrong door? What's the will of our family?" Lao Suntou said that he was about to close the door. Xiao Xier was about to cry. She stepped in anxiously and blocked the door and said, "Mr. Zheng is outside the door. Look at it! Hurry up and report to your second master and the fifth lady, and the official's will is coming!" Old Zheng frowned and opened the door a little more. First, he squeezed out of the door and dragged the broom out casually. First, he looked up and down at Xiao Xier, squinted and carefully at the eunuch Zheng riding on the horse, and then looked at the little chamberlains surrounding the eunuch Zheng one by one, with a suspicious face full of suspicion. These people are very majestic and like-like. Old Zheng frowned and thought for a long time before reluctantly said, "Then you go out first. I'll go in and tell our second grandmother, don't come in. Our second grandmother is very well-behaved. In the last time, our five ladies and gifts, people broke in at the door. The second grandmother detained Zhao for half a year. Money, fortunately, I'm not on duty that day. You go out and wait first.
Xiao Xier lost her temper by the old Zheng's rules, so she had to withdraw and reported to the eunuch Zheng dejectedly. It was really the first time that the decree was transmitted to this. The gentle smile on Zheng's face did not change at all. 'Well,' she asked slowly, "Come and feed me. Is it full?"
"Uh! I'm full!" Xiao Xier looked up at the downing of her eyes, as if she had fallen asleep. Now she had no temper. Anyway, the horse was fed, at least for most of the day. Wait slowly. Zheng is not in a hurry. How can he be in a hurry? Xiao Xier rubbed her face again, learned from Eunuch Zheng, and put on a calm face.
Second Grandma Wang got the report, frowned and scolded, "I think you are confused again, don't you? We don't even have an official. Where can we go? Do you think that the imperial edict is the willow branch of Bathing Buddha's Day, and anyone can pick it up once or twice?!"
"I said it was a lie. The little brother insisted that he had the will for the second master and the fifth wife, and those people were dressed brightly..." Lao Zheng muttered and turned around to retreat. When Grandma Wang heard the fifth lady, the matter on the ceremony flashed in her mind and jumped up suddenly: "Wait! Follow me to Qingtongyuan. You have to ask the Fifth Lady about this!"
In Qingtong Courtyard, Li Tian was also stung and quickly told Qingzhi, "Please, Mr. Shui!" Qingzhi ran out, and Li Tian turned her head to look at Lao Sun and asked, "Who is the one who preached the decree?" Lao Sun's head opened his mouth and couldn't answer: "A small servant, and an old man, dressed brightly, rides a horse, but his face is white."
Seeing that he was incoherent and incoherent, Li Tian turned her head and told Yue Niang, "Go and have a look. Hurry up." Yue Niang answered, and before she finished speaking, she was already outside the door of the flower, which made Grandma Wang half open and couldn't close her mouth.
"Prepare to accept the order quickly!" Shuiqiu's mother didn't enter the house and first ordered, "How dare anyone in this capital dare to fake the imperial edict?"
"Ah?!" Grandma Wang was anxious this time. She turned dizzy and rushed forward. Yingluo quickly stopped Grandma Wang, who was about to rush into the east wing. Shui Qiuniang frowned and said, "What's the hurry! Where is the second master?"
"In, in the government!" I don't know where to draw Grandma Wang's hand.
"Let Yue Niang go find him." Shui Qiu Niang ordered in a low voice, "My second grandma and I will first invite people in to see the tea. Yingluo will take some silver tickets for me, and then take someone to prepare the incense case quickly. Sister Hou Tian, the green branch, change her clothes, and then prepare auspicious clothes for the second master. When I come back, I will quickly change it. Yinhua will come with me. Second grandma, let's go to the front yard."
Shui Qiu Niang's distribution was clear. Everyone led the envoy. Li Tian stretched out her arms and changed her clothes from Qingzhi and others. Qingzhi ran to get Li Xiaoning's auspicious clothes. Yuye accompanied Li Tian to the front yard.
Although Shui Qiuniang's footsteps were anxious but steady, Grandma Wang saw that she was leisurely and gradually returned to her mind.
Two dark doors suddenly opened. Eunuch Zheng opened his eyes. A small waiter hurriedly bent down in front of the horse and was about to put Eunuch Zheng off the horse. Eunuch Zheng said slowly, "Don't worry, the horse stool is coming." In the door, Lao Sun's head sweated anxiously and stumbled out with a horse stool in his arms. Xiao Xier hurriedly took it and put it in front of the eunuch Zheng's horse. She reached out to help Zheng's eunuch carefully get off the horse. Lao Sun's head wiped his sweat and bowed down with a smile on his face and said, "I still think I'm still a liar." Xiao Xier rolled her eyes when she heard it.
Eunuch Zheng got off his horse and looked up to see Grandma Wang, who had fallen in the gate and Shui Qiuniang, who was half a step behind her, slowly walked up the steps, greeted Wang Er's grandmother slightly, looked at Shui Qiuniang and said, "I haven't seen you for several years. Look, you look fine."
"Gunuch Zheng has remembered it, please." Shui Qiuniang didn't expect that the eunuch Zheng personally came to preach the order. She was surprised and moved to let the eunuch Zheng. After Grandma Wang was stunned, she looked at Shui Qiuniang with awe and subconsciously fell behind half a step. She didn't expect that there were such people around the Fifth Lady, and even the people in the palace knew it! Xiao Xier is a little more surprised than Grandma Wang. What is the identity of Zheng? The most confidant of the official family and the first person to use! This woman looks like a faceted servant, but she has an old acquaintance with Zheng. No matter how defeated she is, she can't be underestimated! The smile on Xiao Xier's face was a little more respectful.
Shui Qiuniang asked the Zheng official to sit first in the main hall, took over the tea in person, looked at the Zheng eunuch and inquired, "Is this order brought by the official Zheng for the second master?"
"No." Zheng's sincere answer was absolutely useless and boring. Shui Qiuniang shook her head gently and laughed, "Mr. Zheng's words are still the same."
"I can't change it." The gentleness of eunuch Zheng made people lose their temper. Shui Qiuniang put out a thick pile of silver tickets and stuffed them into Xiao Xier's hand and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Take a cup of tea." Xiao Xier refused repeatedly, and the eunuch Zheng said slowly, "Take it."
"Thank you for your appreciation." Xiao Xi'er and several other little servants are the best in a thousand. As soon as the eunuch Zheng finished speaking, he had already bowed down his knees to thank him.
Eunuch Zheng drank two or three cups of tea with a taste. Li Xiaoning rushed over with a sweaty face. He met Li Tian and knelt down to the incense case. The eunuch Zheng slowly stood in front of the incense case, slowly unfolded the yellow silk, and said in frustration: "The fifth daughter of the Li family, Shuhui is gentle, reading poems and books. The instruction is to show that it is quiet and gentle, and now he is married to the emperor's fifth son, so he becomes the good of the piano and singing. Be careful and follow the rules of women's pro fore.
