"As soon as I entered Princess Chang's house, Xu Mingyi asked her --"
When Xu Mingshi said this, he saw his mother's eyes threatening to pick an eyebrow at him: "hmm?"
The boy's mouth twitched slightly, but he honestly changed his way: "... I mean, just entering the long princess's house, her sister went to the long princess's Hospital and took ah Kui to show people a disease. It is said that the long princess had a rash."
"You didn't go with me?" Cui asked.
"What did your son do with you?" Xu Mingshi asked strangely.
"Then what did you do in Princess Chang's mansion?" Cui looked at his son strangely.
"Enjoy autumn chrysanthemums."
"..." Cui Shi was completely speechless.
Together, he went to a lonely place?
"Go back and read." Cui waved to his son in disappointment and threw the melon seeds back into the plate.
I should have expected this. My son with a little face and bad temper can't do anything normal.
"Yes."
Xu Ming raised his hand and walked out without hesitation.
Not long after, a servant girl came in and said, "madam, Mrs. Wen and Mrs. Zhou are here."
As soon as the card player came, Cui's spirit cheered up, put down the tea lamp and greeted him.
Two women came in.
"Why is one missing?" Cui asked with a smile.
"Mrs. Xiang Ningbo can't come today." Mrs. Wen, the wife of the Minister of rites, who is about 40, said to Cui, "but I have another appointment with my mother's sister-in-law. I think I should be here soon."
She taught her sister-in-law's horse crane. In order to prevent the phenomenon of three lack of one, who can't prepare several temporary ones?
Kong Shi, the wife of Zhou Shilang's family, sighed and said, "I haven't seen her for several times. It's strange to make people panic."
After all, in this horse hanging ring in central Beijing, Mrs. Xiang Ningbo has the reputation of giving money to Guanyin.
"Can't you lose too much a few days ago?" Cui joked.
In fact, they didn't play too much, but Mrs. xiangningbo's luck really stinks. She often loses nine out of ten.
However, Fang's family was born in business and had a rich family background. It was said that Xiangning Bo's house had decided to marry Fang and chose Fang as his successor, but it was discussed for a while. Secretly, it was said that Bo's house was interested in Fang's dowry.
After all, at that time, xiangningbo mansion was caused by Princess Jing Rongchang. The scenery in the mansion was really bad——
But this was more than ten years ago, and now few people will talk about it.
"She is more and more brave. How can she stop fighting because she has lost several times?" Mrs. Wen said as they went to the warm Pavilion: "I heard that it is her mother-in-law. Old Mrs. xiangningbo is ill these days. She is waiting for her illness at home."
"Sick?" Cui asked casually, "is it serious?"
"I was ill with Qi..."
Mrs. Wen lowered her voice and said, "it's the old lady's legitimate son who was expelled from the family... He owed a pile of gambling debts and was chopped off a finger... Ask Bo's house for silver for help."
"The one who offended the eldest princess?" Kong was surprised and said, "does he dare to return to Beijing?"
Who in Beijing doesn't know that after Jia Junzhi, the legitimate son of Xiangning Bo's house, was named a son-in-law, he was caught and raped in bed by the eldest princess because of the same woman's adultery.
Having offended the eldest princess, Xiangning Bo's house did not dare to keep this son again, even if he removed people from the family——
This move is also understandable. After all, I wanted to rely on this son to climb the royal family that had just ascended the throne for a few years and didn't pay much attention to choosing a son-in-law, but I just started to taste the sweetness of two years. This disheartening son cut off his life and the whole uncle's house will suffer. This has been condemned and demoted as the evil star of the common people. Don't you wait for the new year?
Cui Shi was also interested.
It is said that after Jia Junzhi was removed from the clan, he left Beijing with the woman. I haven't heard of this person in recent years——
Seeing that her friends were waiting for her to go on, Mrs. Wen was in a good mood and said, "now Bo's house is pressing the news, for fear that the matter will reach the long princess's ears and cause any trouble."
As we all know, the significance and essence of playing horse hanging is not only playing cards, but also talking about gossip in a place is one of the pleasures.
However, this is also hierarchical. For example, their circle can not be crowded in by the wives of any small official family.
Therefore, some words do not have much scruples.
But Cui always remembers her husband's advice. Most of them just listen and don't say. Even if they say, they are really unimportant.
"Tut, from this point of view, the old lady xiangningbo's disease is even angry and afraid." Kong shook his head and sighed, "it's not easy for Bo's house to slow down in recent years..."
"Not really."
When several people spoke, they heard that Mrs. Wen's sister-in-law had arrived. They smiled and pinched the words and began to ask the servant girl to set up the card table.
……
Three days later, Princess Yufeng came to the town government.
She handed over her post one day earlier. Xu Mingyi had already prepared. She had asked the servant girl to buy a few long under the ginkgo tree in the hospital, and ah Zhu moved Zhang Meili's couch. The promised peach blossom wine was dug out early in the morning.
As soon as Princess Yufeng was led into the Xi garden by ah Kui, she saw everything arranged in the courtyard. She couldn't help laughing and said to Xu Mingyi, "Xu Zhaozhao, you know my mind. It's cool in autumn. It's most comfortable to eat wine in your courtyard."
While talking, he took his friend's arm. Before they went to the hall, they sat down under the ginkgo tree on a low couch.
Soon a servant girl put fresh fruit snacks, while ah Kui led several little servant girls to start barbecue.
Half an hour earlier, the pickled fresh meat was strung up and slowly turned over and roasted across the iron net on the hot stove. Before long, the fat and thin meat string began to emit oil and sprinkle ground spices. The barbecue aroma with light burnt aroma spread in the yard and made people salivate.
Tianmu sat by the stove with his wings, his round eyes staring at the meat kebab.
The roasted kebab was peeled and put into a dish and sent to the two girls.
Princess Yufeng quickly picked up chopsticks.
Eating meat and drinking with friends is really a pleasure in life.
When they were halfway through the meal, ah Zhu came in from outside the hospital and said, "there is a letter from the girl."
While talking, hand over the letterhead in your hand.
Xu Mingyi put down his glass, took it, and opened it.
It was a pleasant and familiar handwriting. The girl read two lines, and a smile appeared on her cheeks.
Princess Yufeng looked at her, put her head forward and pretended to see what was written on the letter: "Yi, whose letter is this?"
Xu Ming subconsciously covers the letter paper in front of him.
