Chapter 112 The Covenant of Lingshan, which happens at the right time
"I think that when Qin Xiang cleans up Jin Xiang, he will not be guaranteed himself."
On the gray stone red pavilion, in the autumn sun, the bright red clothes danced slightly. Kong Xilin was a step behind the third prince and stood with his hands behind his back. Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly, as if with a trace of play. He understood the thoughts of the third prince and knew that he still wanted to fight for the Su's daughter, which was quite disapproving.
"Your hypothesis is based on Qin Xiang's opposition to the emperor's reform, but if he supports the reform..."
"The resumption of the opening of science and scholars will inevitably disintegrate the Prime Minister's control of the election of officials. If there is a stake, Qin will definitely not agree with it."
"Don't forget that if Lao Si ascends to Dabao, the Qin clan will be foreign relatives, and the concentration of imperial power may not be good for them." The third prince snorted coldly: "I can't give the initiative to others. You should know that if you have a fluke, you will definitely fail.
Kong Xilin pondered again, and finally had no choice but to admit that the planning of the third prince was for the sake of the overall situation.
"But Your Highness, you originally 'adored' Aunt Su, but if you turn to 'adored' the Fifth Lady again in the future, the intention is too obvious, and the queen will know that you have ulterior motives." But he still poured cold water.
"That's why I have to find a way to let the queen take the initiative to plan for me." The third prince smiled and obviously had a calculation.
Kong Xilin shook his head: "I heard that this Su's fifth mother was more favored than the eldest wife. Duke of Wei and the eldest princess will definitely not let her be her concubine... Even if the fifth daughter of the Huang's 'death' in the future, she is not the successor. How can the Duke of Wei make the fifth mother wronged?"
For the question of "mo reverse", the third prince reported a belly laugh, pointed to Kong Xilin and shook his head frequently, and made Kong Xilin laugh so angry. He curled the corners of his lips coldly and looked at the third prince dissatisfiedly. He really thought that the third prince's calculation was a little crazy.
The third prince smiled exhaustedly and sat on the bluestone stool in the red pavilion, with his ten fingers on his lower chin, and his eyes turned around: "For succession? For a concubine? Thanks for thinking about it! Huang's fifth wife is not qualified to be my first wife.
Kong Xilin gently "hummed" and reminded: "The imperial edict has been issued and the wedding date has been set."
"I heard that your rich merchant's fiancee died violently? How did you die? Did you fall into the water or fall off a building? He was never raped and killed, was he? Xiaowu, you are really decisive." Compared with the decisions of several princes and concubines, the people in the city are more keen to talk about the coldness of the concubine of the Confucius family these days - the "death" of his fiancee. There have been rumors that Kong Xiaowu's life forced his wife. In addition, he not only doesn't mind, but he even lingered in the hook column and spends at night. If he is greedy for beauty*, it's okay, but he is greedy. The picture is a little male actor. Now, not to mention the noble family, even the merchant is unwilling to give his daughter to Kong Jiawulang.
"Your Highness doesn't want to follow suit, does he? Jianning Houfu is not as good as an ordinary merchant. Your Highness is not afraid of omissions and angered the emperor." Kong Xilin has a solemn face.
The third prince waved his hand: "Some people don't want to see Huang's Fifth Niang as the imperial concubine. How can I do it myself?"
Kong Xilin's eyebrows jumped: "Your Highness, do you want to kill people with a knife?"
"Only one or two measures to remind the man that I don't mind carrying a bad reputation." The third prince raised his eyebrows and said confidently, "I still suspect that there are ears and eyes that I don't know in the house. I don't want to entrust others. I can only entrust this matter to you."
A whisper...
The two demons laughed at each other.
——
Since the marriage, the busyness of the Duke of Wei has increased by several times. Huang has completely lost no time to socialize those invitations, because the visitors who come to congratulate each other one after another, and they are all " relatives and friends" who have known each other. They can't be neglected. Even with eight golden flowers, their life is particularly busy these days. From time to time, I have to change my clothes and dress up and line up to socialize in front of the ladies.
Of course, the wives of Confucius and Zhenfu and Wenfu will not lag behind, but Mrs. Kong did not talk about the third prince and no longer mentioned Su Xun's marriage.
Zhen Mo said she was "sick", but this time she did not accompany her, but Wen's wife brought several "invitation posts" to the legitimate daughters of the Duke of Wei, who had reached the age of 12, and repeatedly told them to "must go".
When I opened the scenery, I saw the words "Lingshan Xiapu Garden", "watching the red leaves" and "trying tea" in my heart.
The wedding date has been set, and it is difficult to wait to marry at home. It is not good to show up again, so she politely declined the grand invitation of Wen's wife. The second lady was very interested. When asked that the visit to enjoy the scenery was not limited to the little lady, but also several Langjuns of Zhenfu, Wenfu and Kongfu, she couldn't help laughing happily.
Sanniang was not invited, and proudly expressed her disdain.
Siniang seemed to be a little interested in the "Jingshan trip", but as soon as she heard her mother's own sister pulling Wen's wife repeatedly to ask how "Zhen Sanlang" was, she was immediately frustrated and reluctantly thanked Wen's wife for her kindness.
Yi Jing suddenly said, "It's still July. Sister Mo said that she would invite me and Sister Ayin to enjoy the red leaves. I was looking forward to Sister Wen's invitation first."
Wen's wife was slightly stunned and smiled, "Amo has been in a bad health recently and can't work hard, so she entrusted me to arrange the autumn appreciation of Lingshan. Jing is relieved and can't forget A Yin. A Mo specifically reminded me to introduce more friends for A Yin to get to get to know the noble girls in Kyoto as soon as possible."
The second mother hurriedly praised: "Amo is really warm-hearted."
Liu Niang was very suspicious. When Wen's wife left, she pulled Yijing away and whispered, "What kind of trick does Zhen Si want to play?"
Liu Niang is only ten years old and is not convenient to attend these parties, so Wen's wife did not send her invitations.
Although Ying knew the disaster that happened in her previous life, Zhen Mo's theory of being the culprit was just her inference. She was not sure yet. She had to say to Liu Niang, "Maybe it's just that she had a promise on that day and didn't want to break her promise. The eldest brother would not go there, so there was no need to worry."
Qiniang also said that after Chongyang, she lived in the Manzi Garden arranged by Huang. For the first time, she lived in a remote courtyard and only felt fresh everywhere. At the same time, she was hospitable and cheerful. She wanted to leave Beijing for several years and had not seen her old acquaintances for many years, so she got up to set up a delicacy in the courtyard, a few sweet wine, and invited "friends and friends" to get together for a day. Thoughts.
Xu returned to Beijing and went to a banquet with Su Yi every three or five times. In fact, she couldn't find time to help her daughter Zhang Luo, but she didn't want to sweep away Qi Niang's interest, so she discussed with Huang: "Seeing that her sister-in-law is so busy, it's really not easy to make trouble with you, but on second thought, Qi Niang should also get together with the little wives of her relatives. At the scene, I didn't invite many others, just invite Jianning Houfu and Chuwangfu, and a few nieces from my mother's family. Just hand it over to the seventh mother's nursing mother to prepare. There is no need to bother my sister-in-law.
Huang hurriedly said, "I also blamed for my negligence. I should have thought of this... Seeing that Chen'er will get married next June, she has been following me to study the affairs of the house these days. It's also an experience to leave this matter to her. What do you think?"
With the best of both sides, Xu will naturally not refuse.
It's not a big waste for a few ladies to get together at home. It's not a big wasteful thing. Yichen only needs to waste some thoughts on dishes and fresh fruits, and others are fine. An Hui is the most picky, taboo, and rude. For example, she can't even see her most evil pear, otherwise she will be very angry.
Not all people must accommodate her, but it is also a kind of etiquette to be a master and take into account the likes and dislikes of guests. Yichen carefully lists An Hui's taboos to ensure that tea, dishes and fruits do not have "things" that she does not see.
Qiniang's invitation is scheduled for a certain day in mid-October. In addition to a few "good family", outsiders invited one, which was still proposed by Yijing. She was really a little uncomfortable. She wanted to meet with Dong Yin and ask carefully about what Zhen Mo could do during this period.
After the cold clothes festival, the sky is getting lighter and pale, and the clouds are getting heavier. The clouds seem to be gradually full of rain, low and wet. They are rolled up by the wind, and the rain and the fog is thin. When people look up, they can't feel wet, but after all, they still know that a lingering cold rain may not be far away.
Yijing still discussed the nearest mansion with Liu Niang in the study. Seeing that it was about to be Zheng, I guessed that the guests were about to arrive. Just now, they put on the veiled flower and bird cloak with rabbit hair on the edge. The two sisters walked hand in hand to Qi Niang's Manzi Garden. When they came to the corridor, they saw Qi Niang busy pounding a pile of tea bowls, but nearby, Seeing that she was full of depression, she looked at the tea in the cup and sighed.
Bing asked with a smile, "What's wrong with the seventh sister?"
Qiniang just paid attention to the two sisters and greeted them with a smile: "On the way back, I saw that Awei showed her 'pointing tea' skills and could actually contain the scenery of flowers and trees in the tea. I was shocked by the magic skill and pestered her all the way. It was hard to make her impatient to teach, but she had not been able to practice, although she could also 'point' out the picture. It's always a little out of shape, and it can't be maintained. Originally, I planned to show my hand in front of my sister today, but it seems that I still dare not make a fool of myself.
"A Wei in the mouth of the seventh sister, but the daughter of Dr. Jiang?" Liu Niang asked with a curious face: "I have only seen the record of 'pointing tea' in ancient books. I know that many of my predecessors know this skill, but I don't introduce it in detail."
"It's Mrs. Jiang."
Yi Jingwei felt that Nahan and secretly thought that Jiang Wei had this lost tea art. She smiled and said, "If you want to talk about today's small gathering, it is naturally necessary for Awei. I only heard that she is a little lonely. When she lived in the house for so many times, we dare not bother her. Mo Ruqimei invited an invitation today to see if she wants to come. ."
"Don't you know the fifth sister? Awei has gone to the palace." Qi Niang was stunned and smiled again: "On the day she and her grandmother resigned, we were listening to school, and I think we missed it."
While asking the maids to put away the teacup, Qi Niang invited Yijing and Liu Niang to sit in the room and explained, "Awei's mother died early. Although she has a brother, she is also a doctor abroad all year round. She only relies on Mr. Jiang for her life. The father and daughter often tossing around in the mountains and live in an undetermined place. Awei is shy and shy and doesn't love with People gradually become more and more lonely when they talk. In fact, people are excellent.
Yijing is very curious about Jiang Qinggu's father and daughter who had a life-saving kindness, especially A Wei, who had never known in her previous life. At this time, she asked, "I don't know how old Awei is?"
"As soon as possible, although the Jiang family is not a hope family, it has also practiced medicine for generations. The ancestors were quite trusted by the Eastern Ming royal family of the previous dynasty. Later, the mourning emperor was useless and resigned and lived in seclusion in the city. Awei's medical skills are also excellent. She is best at medicinal diet therapy. She wrote a few prescriptions for me, saying that long-term use can stay in the face and have protection. The wonderful method of the hand, when I have time to sort it out, I will also show it to my sisters. Qi Niang is a child of Oxfam and does not hide her selfishness.
Bing Jing asked again, "Why did she enter the palace?"
"Although the Empress Dowager recovered from her illness, she was a little mentally ill. Mr. Jiang proposed to have an acupuncture point massage. Because the Jiang family's medical skills were not rumored, and it was inconvenient for him, he asked A Wei to go to the Cihe Palace to wait for a while." Qi Niang also said, "Sir just arrived in Kyoto. The house has not been arranged properly, and there is a place for A Wei to enter the palace. If the fifth sister wants to get to know her, she will be afraid that there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.
While talking, she heard a noise outside. Qi Niang said that the guest must have arrived before she got down from the kang. As soon as the brocade curtain was lifted, a girl jumped inside happily. Before she could see the face under the big red cloak, she saw that she gave Qi Niang a warm hug.
