Chapter 450: A Trivial Matter
"Your marriage should be put on the agenda, otherwise it will delay your golden years," Baochai said, holding Xia Yuegui's hand.
"Yes" Xia Yuegui lowered her head and responded.
Of course she will not resist this result, because this is the best result.
As for whether Baochai can be Xue Pan's master, no one here will doubt it. It will be done if she proposes this marriage.
Thinking of the good marriage between her two daughters, Mrs. Xia Huang almost cried with joy and could not help but pray to God.
While Baochai was praising Xia Yuegui to several married women, thereby raising her "worth", an uninvited guest came outside Prince Xiang's Mansion.
After three days of journey, Cui Xiuqing entered the capital at noon and only now came to the gate of the palace.
"Sister, you are really familiar with Princess Xiang. They won't drive us away."
Cui Xiuqing, a prostitute, of course cannot come to Beijing alone. This time she is inviting her My brother is accompanying me.
Because she wanted to keep Brother Zhang Jin's secret, Cui Xiuqing only said that she came to say goodbye to the princess, so her brother did not know her true purpose.
"The princess and I have a close relationship, but if I want to see her, I have to get someone to agree with me, which is a bit difficult to do."
"So the eldest brother has to do something." Means"
The so-called use of means is actually to use money to clear the way. This is also the unspoken rule of the rich and powerful. The Cui family brother is naturally from a clear family.
But the problem is that the palace is not an ordinary wealthy family after all, and he doesn’t know whether it is feasible to get money.
"Okay, I'll try it"
"What should I say, brother still remembers"
"I remember you said it a dozen times"< /p>
So Cui Xiuqing could only wait in the carriage. She originally thought it would take some time for the results to come out, but she didn't expect that her elder brother would come back after a while.
"Sister, what a coincidence. The female officer who came out of the toilet just now happened to be on duty at the Shangyi Bureau and still remembers your name."
"I put your name As soon as she said it, she told you to wait in the palace first, and she would order someone to inform the princess."
The eldest brother of the Cui family was very excited. After all, this saves money and the matter is handled smoothly. It’s done.
Cui Xiuqing did not expect this result. It started so smoothly, which made her more confident in what she was going to do next.
"Sister, let's go over"
On one side, Cui Xiuqing entered the palace from the convenience door to wait for the call. On the other side, in the back garden of the palace, news was relayed from layer to layer, and was finally informed by Ying'er. Baochai.
When Baochai heard the name Cui Xiuqing, he had a very deep memory.
During the days of "training" at Shangyi Bureau, they did become friends and talked about poetry, poetry and life philosophy together.
"Invite her in," Baochai ordered.
"Yes"
Here, Cui Xiuqing, who had received permission, was servedThe female guide entered the many gates and finally came to the garden where Baochai and others were.
Although he had seen the world after entering the palace, Cui Xiuqing was still deeply shocked by the many "levels" of entering the palace, and his originally calm heart gradually became nervous.
In the garden, the ladies were gathering in twos and threes, taking fish food and throwing it into the lake, including Xia Yuegui and her daughter.
Baochai was sitting in the pavilion, thinking about her brother's marriage.
She was indeed very satisfied with the girl from the Xia family. She would tell her mother later and the matter would be settled.
"Princess Qi, the girl from the Cui family is here"
Baochai looked up and saw Cui Xiuqing not far away, and immediately said, "Let her come here"
< p>A few breaths later, Cui Xiuqing came to her, and then paid homage and said, "Cui Xiuqing, a folk girl, come to visit the princess.""No gift," Baochai said with a smile.
After Cui Xiuqing stood up, Baochai said, "I haven't seen you for nearly a year, and now you are getting more and more depressed, which makes me afraid to recognize you."
Cui Xiuqing was still acquainted with you. She was quite nervous, but when she heard Baochai's sister-next-door words, she instantly went back to the time a year ago, when the two of them were talking and joking like this.
"How can the folk girl Yingying dare to compete with the bright moon? The empress is a fairy-like figure."
Before Cui Xiuqing could finish her words, Baochai waved her hand to stop her. "Okay, let's stop saying these polite words between you and me."
"Didn't you say years ago that you would go north to recognize your ancestors and return to your clan? Why are you still staying in Beijing now? Could it be that your father has given up on this plan?"< /p>
"It's not like that, it was actually last year"
It is always a joy to meet again after a long absence, especially for Baochai.
Although she meets many people every day, most of them are pretentious and submissive. It is really rare to meet someone who can really open up and talk.
The saying that once you enter the palace gate is as deep as the sea is no joke.
This is why, when Baochai discovered that Daiyu had a tendency to alienate, she was so concerned and immediately "corrected" her. She really didn't want to lose her only confidant.
Baochai and Cui Xiuqing were reminiscing about old times, and the others were very sensible and did not disturb them. After feeding the fish, they went back to their seats and started talking in twos and threes.
Drinking tea and chatting, the life of ladies is so simple and unpretentious.
Having a good conversation, even if half an hour passes, all that needs to be said is finished.
Just as Cui Xiuqing was thinking about how to express her request, a female official came to Baochai's side and reported, "My queen, the moon platform is ready."
"Well "
Then Baochai stood up and said to everyone present, "Everyone on the Moon Watching Platform has invited a small opera to come and perform. Let's go and have a look."
"Thank you, Princess"
p>"Your Majesty, please come first"
Everyone smiled in response, while Baochai looked at Cui Xiuqing in front of him and said, "Sister, let's go and listen to the play with me"
AlthoughAlthough she was very anxious, Cui Xiuqing remained calm and nodded in agreement with a smile.
The group of people rushed along the path to the viewing platform. There were exquisite things everywhere on the road, which made everyone dizzy and sighed that the palace was really extraordinary.
Soon everyone arrived at the moon-watching platform. At this moment, musicians and actors were waiting, and they would play after everyone took their seats.
When Cui Xiuqing was panicking, Baochai pulled her to sit next to her and told her what program was prepared for today.
Soon the opera was on, and the scene became even more lively. Cui Xiuqing was fascinated by Baochai's graceful demeanor, and Cui Xiuqing didn't even know how to speak.
While he was thinking, Baochai's voice came from the side: "Sister, are you in trouble?"
Cui Xiuqing was shocked and turned to look at Baochai again. But he saw that the other party was still staring at the stage.
Seeing that she didn't answer, Baochai turned his head to look at her and said with a smile, "If you encounter trouble, just speak up and don't be heretical."
Cui Xiuqing's thoughts, and How could I hide it from Baochai?
As the saying goes, there is no need to go to the Three Treasures Palace. Before talking to Cui Xiuqing, Baochai had already guessed that she would want something during this trip.
Cui Xiuqing also understood at this time that this was definitely not the time to be polite. After passing this village, there would be no such store.
"My Majesty, to tell you the truth, the daughter of the common people came here to ask for something."
"Since the queen asked, the daughter of the common people said it shamelessly." Cui Xiuqing was extremely sincere. said.
"I told you not to be heretical, what are you talking about?"
"You come to me when you are in trouble, you are treating me like a sister, sister Don't say these words anymore."
To be honest, Cui Xiuqing was particularly touched that Baochai could sincerely say these words in his current status.
"Tell me what difficulties you have."
Under Baochai's urging, Cui Xiuqing had to say, "This matter has nothing to do with me, but a close friend of a folk girl." ”
Next, Cui Xiuqing went through the details, especially emphasizing Brother Zhang Jin’s loyal character.
After listening to Cui Xiuqing's story, Baochai realized that she came to Beijing for her friends.
In this day and age, it is unusual for a woman to do this for her friends.
And this is enough to prove that Cui Xiuqing is a friend worth making. Baochai is only sorry that she will leave her hometown.
As for Cui Xiuqing's so-called trouble, in Baochai's eyes, it was just a fight between fifth- and sixth-rank officials, a completely trivial matter not worth mentioning.
"I guess you heard what this girl said just now." Baochai looked at the people on the left and right.
It is human nature to like to hear gossip. When Cui Xiuqing began to tell, these ladies all paid attention, and the entanglement between Zhang, Xu and Li's family did not disappoint them.
"That girl from the Zhang family is a fierce woman. It's good to say that one woman will not serve two husbands."
You Baochai spoke up and set the tone, and others followed suit.He agreed, and he did not hesitate to praise Brother Jin.
This also vividly explains what it means to look at the Buddha's face without looking at the monk's face.
After everyone stopped talking, Baochai asked, "You can't bear to see such a good girl die."
"If anyone can help me, how can I help you?" You have to lend a helping hand when the time comes, and this is also a way to accumulate virtue for yourself."
And if Baochai's prediction is correct, someone at the scene will be able to help, and it will be effortless.
Ms. Liu Zhang, the wife of the prefect of Shuntian, stood up consciously, bowed and saluted Baochai and said, "Madam, my master is familiar with the prefect of Yiyang, so just ask him to send someone to say hello."
Although the location of Shuntian Mansion is not easy to sit in, it is the undisputed No. 1 prefect in the world and is a very respectable existence to the outside world.
Shuntian Prefecture greets Yiyang Prefecture, how can Yiyang Prefecture not give him face? Yiyang Prefecture is in charge of Xin'an County, so the matter can be easily solved.
“This girl of mine came here after a long journey, and finally asked me to do this. You have to help me do it, otherwise I, the princess, will be embarrassed to see people in the future.”
After Baochai said this, Mrs. Liu Zhang paid a lot more attention to this matter and immediately promised, "Don't worry, Princess, I will pay more attention to this matter and report it as soon as there is news."
"Yeah"
After responding, Baochai looked at Cui Xiuqing beside him and said with a smile, "Why don't you thank Mrs. Liu yet?"
Cui Xiuqing came to Liu Zhang In front of Mr. Liu, he bowed down very solemnly and said, "Thank you, madam."
"Please get up quickly. It's just a small thing, so why bother?"
After helping Cui Xiuqing up, Mrs. Liu Zhang He looked around and said, "A girl is an amazing woman who works so hard for her friends. No wonder she is so valued by the princess."
On the surface, these words are praising Cui Xiuqing, but in fact, they are praising Baochai. What follows is other Everyone learned the same thing, and the atmosphere at the scene became more harmonious.
Cui Xiuqing was then called to her side by Baochai, and then everyone listened to the play together.
After the trouble was solved, Cui Xiuqing truly relaxed. At this time, she could not only listen to the play with peace of mind, but also comment and discuss with Baochai.
Listening to plays with the wives of fate has happened countless times, but such in-depth exchanges as today are rare.
Soon after an hour passed, seeing the sun almost setting, the beauties consciously said goodbye and left.
Although Cui Xiuqing also wanted to say goodbye, Baochai kept her here and specially arranged a place for her to stay for a few more days.
Cui Xiuqing did not expect this result, and she could not refuse Baochai's enthusiasm, so she could only agree to stay for a few more days.
As for the palace, Zhu Jinghong walked out of the main hall of Kunning Palace with a rather frustrated look on his face.
Zhu Jinghong tried all the methods he could to move her with emotion and reason, but he still couldn't move his old mother.
The queen just said, Zhu Jinghong can do whatever he wants with other matters, but going to the northwest is definitely not allowed..
This also means that Zhu Jinghong can only perform a bitter drama and force the queen to agree by acting rogue.
"Brother Thirteen, stop"
Zhu Yunsheng's voice interrupted Zhu Jinghong's thinking and made him subconsciously look in the direction of the east hall.
"Brother Thirteen, you are being unkind. I'm afraid you won't regard me as a girl now."
Since we are going to do a sad drama, it's better to start Zhu Jinghong from now on Thinking like this.
The next moment, he walked towards the east hall with a mournful face. After approaching Zhu Yunsheng, he sighed, "Third sister, your thirteenth brother has already made it difficult for you. Please don't make things difficult for me anymore."
p>
"Why are you so embarrassed? Now that I have left the palace and have no one to restrain me, how can I be so happy?"
After saying this, Zhu Yunsheng said with difficulty, "It's all because of your actions. Your rashness has made your mother angry many times, and even your thirteenth sister-in-law has been scolded several times for you."
Zhu Yunsheng's words left Zhu Jinghong speechless, and in the end he could only argue. "Third sister, you don't understand my pain"
"By the way, why didn't you see them?"
The "they" here refer to Daiyu, Xiangyun and Zhenqin , but what Zhu Jinghong wanted to see most was actually Daiyu.
"Thirteenth Master, I'm here." Undoubtedly, Zhen Qin was the first to appear.
"The two of them are not inside" Zhu Jinghong asked next.
"They are still practicing calligraphy," Zhen Qin replied.
"What kind of calligraphy should I practice?" As he spoke, Zhu Jinghong walked into the hall, as if he was really interested in practicing calligraphy.
"Brother Thirteen, I haven't finished speaking yet." Zhu Yunsheng stamped his feet and followed him in immediately.
After entering the palace, Zhu Jinghong came to the study room and saw Daiyu Xiangyun writing.
"Thirteenth Master, why are you here?" Xiangyun raised his head and asked, with a slightly surprised look on his face.
"Girl Yun, can't I come over?"
Zhu Jinghong was talking to Xiangyun, but Daiyu continued to lower her head and write. This reaction seemed abnormal.
So Zhu Jinghong walked to her side and lowered his head to look at the words written on the table, "Girl Lin, it's rare to see you so serious."
After chatting with Baochai at noon, Daiyu felt more and more ashamed now, and she did not dare to chat with Zhu Jinghong, even if it was a decision that went against her heart.
"How can you practice well if you don't take it seriously?" Daiyu replied calmly.
"That's true. I'm not as serious as you, so my handwriting has never been very good. You can teach me when you have time," Zhu Jinghong said helplessly.
However, Daiyu did not answer, making Zhu Jinghong look very embarrassed.
At this time, Zhu Yunsheng had already walked into the study, came to Zhu Jinghong and asked, "Brother Thirteen, you promised to take me out of the palace to play, but now I have never even been to your palace. , what do you say about this matter?"
"It turns out that you want to go to the house, this is just a trivial matter," Zhu Jinghong said calmly.
"Since it's a trivial matter, why do you keep trying to shirk the blame?" Zhu Yunsheng asked.
"Just because I was too busy in the early stage, now I am free, when do you want to come to my house"
"Today and tomorrow"
Zhu Yunsheng asked tentatively. Happiness came so suddenly, making her feel extremely excited.
Apart from Daiyu, Zhu Jinghong walked up to his sister and said slowly, "You can play any day you want. It's up to you to play for as long as you want, but you have to get your mother's consent."
"Third sister, I am not unwilling to do many things, it is really my mother."
With a bitter look on his face, Zhu Jinghong sighed and said, "You also understand how my mother is."
If you want to force the queen to use bitter drama, you must first have someone to cheer for her. Zhu Yunsheng is undoubtedly very suitable.
To achieve this, he must first make Zhu Yunsheng share the same "hatred" with him. This speech is completely to lure her into a trap.
"Mom, she is indeed too strict," Zhu Yunsheng said sadly. Please remember to collect it. The website is the latest and fastest without anti-theft. To find books and add books for free, you can join the qq group 952868558
