Chapter 67

"It's time, it's time to go." Xie Liunian glanced at the white marble enamel clock on the table in the main room, reluctantly got up and said goodbye.Xie Siye easily forbids himself to come to Zhang's house to play, but this time Yaya solemnly posted a post before he can go out.However, it can only be played for two hours.

"It's still so early." Zhang Yi muttered.It's only been a while since we played, it's still early, Uncle Xie Shi is really stingy.Xie Liunian is a contented person Chang Le, smiling very sweetly, "Zhang Naishan, this is already very good." Big girl, it is not easy for Fourth Master Xie to let him go out.If it wasn't for Yaya's incident, if it wasn't for Yaya's post, he wouldn't even be able to play these two hours.

Xie Tangnian was ordered to pick up his younger sister, and the two got into the same carriage.When the carriage was about to leave, the curtain was lifted, and Zhang Yi jumped up quickly, and sat beside Xie Liunian, "Brother Sui, Junior Sister, I will see you off." How can you let the guests go back by themselves, it is too impolite up.

Xie Tangnian smiled and nodded, "Naishan is polite." He took a small backrest made of plain silk satin calmly, "Xiaoqi, sit here." He helped Xie Liunian to sit upright, and he was separated by Zhang Yi. Between Xiaoqi and Xiaoqi, he said calmly and elegantly, "I just got a few pieces of plum blossom jade powder wax paper, smooth and dense, warm and pleasant..."

Zhang Yi's grandfather An Zan and grandmother Tan Ying are both very leisurely and elegant people.Zhang Xi had been fascinated by his ears and eyes since he was a child, so he knew these things very well, and he agreed politely, "Excellent! I can write with this paper, the brushwork is fluent, the pen does not stagnate, does not reject ink, and the handwriting is as black and bright as lacquer, and it is full of charm."

Talking and talking along the way, they arrived in front of Xie's mansion before they knew it.Before Zhang Yilin got out of the car, he turned his head and chattered with Xie Liunian, "Junior Junior Sister, you won a total of three hundred and six taels of silver, and I have ordered people to exchange them into copper coins and distribute them to the poor families by the Sibu Bridge. "Beside the Sibu Bridge, it is a place where the poor in the capital live together.

Xie Liunian nodded, and explained: "Especially those with children!" It's nothing for adults to suffer, children can't eat and wear enough, what a pity.Regardless of past life or present life, Xie Liunian always felt that minors were the ones most in need of protection.

Zhang Xi agreed, turned and left.Xie Tangnian smiled slightly, "Xiaoqi, do you give money to the poor?" At first glance, it seems that this is not true.Thinking about it, it's still unbelievable.My Xiaoqi, who has been keen on collecting money since she was a child, turned out to be a virgin who spread wealth?

Xie Liunian smiled at him cutely, "Brother, come back when all the money is gone!" Money flows, okay? It has to be saved, consumed, and invested.You can't just save money blindly. Wouldn't that make you a miser?Xie Liunian felt unkindly happy when she thought of this, she thought of Amagoon described by someone, and Grandet described by someone.

First went to Xuanhui Hall to pay respects to the old lady, and then went to the eldest wife and fourth wife to greet him, and Xie Liunian returned to Tianyuan.The clean and pretty big girl Lu Ming has quick hands and feet, puts a pool of warm water, serves Xie Liunian to wash the valley, and puts on homely clothes that are new and not old.

Zhiping's respectful and affectionate voice sounded, "Miss Six is ​​here!" The little girl opened the curtain, and a girl with light steps walked in.She was about ten years old, and she was wearing a light blue thin satin beige, with bright yellow flowers embroidered on the corner of her clothes.His complexion is ruddy, beautiful and dignified.

Xie Liunian stepped forward to salute with a smile, "Sixth Sister!" What's wrong with this little girl Xie Jinnian, she doesn't seem very happy?I asked you, Xie Jinnian was kindly invited to take a seat, and ordered to "brew Liu'an melon slices here".Xie Jinnian's favorite on weekdays is the piece of tea from "Seven Bowls of Breeze from Lu'an".

In the warm white porcelain teacup, the clear soup of the sliced ​​tea is green, clear and refreshing, without a trace of turbidity.Drink in the mouth, suddenly feel the aroma of tender tea, refreshing.Xie Jinnian put down the tea cup in a gentle manner, and praised: "The aftertaste is endless, the fragrance lingers on the teeth and cheeks, good tea!"

"Sixth Sister, try this kidney bean roll." Xie Liunian smiled and said, "The taste is not bad, it looks really small and cute." The white and tender little rolls are only a little bit big, and they look very pleasing to the eye.How about the taste, the kidney bean paste is fragrant and sweet, and it is not satisfactory.

Xie Jinnian frowned slightly, "Which kitchen made this?" It was really small and interesting, and he had never seen it before.A new cook in the kitchen?Xie Liunian said casually: "It's from the Miss Nanning Hou Mansion." Didn't I go out to be a guest today, and I stole some food to go home.

Xie Jinnian put down the teacup in his hand, and sneered, "Xiao Qi, do you still have a mother in your eyes?" Although your mother is filial, you shouldn't go out to meet guests privately without reporting to her!Also go to Nanning Hou Mansion, when is this, how can Nanning Hou Mansion be a place where you can go casually.

Xie Liunian hurriedly stood up, "I don't dare." He bowed his head and made quick calculations: I was wearing homely old clothes, a very plain color, so there should be no problem with the clothes; The fourth wife has always been respectful and obedient.If she said, "Coal is white," she would agree, "Yes, it is snow-white."What went wrong?
Xie Jinnian snorted disdainfully, "Don't you dare? Xiaoqi, as a daughter, don't you need to report to your mother when you go out?" Who allowed you to go to the Nanning Marquis Mansion?Don't keep your duty.

Xie Liunian, Ai Ai, "This, this..." Mrs. Xie agreed, and the eldest lady personally ordered the carriages, horses and servants to be prepared, and still insisted on reporting to your mother who is keeping her filial piety?Didn't it mean that Lingtang is so affectionate and filial, so sad that he ignores all household chores? "Sixth sister taught me a lesson." Xie Liunian said modestly.

Xie Jinnian smiled triumphantly, and put on the prestige of being a big sister, "From now on, you must be cautious in your words and deeds, and don't act recklessly!" After learning the lesson, Fang asked slowly, "What's wrong with Miss Zhang? I told you what?"

"She looked unhappy and didn't talk to me much." Xie Liunian said truthfully.Yaya is not very happy, she is always locked up and loses a lot of money.Yaya didn't talk to me much, it was Zhang Naishan who chatted with me.

He specially called Xiaoqi, but he didn't seem very happy, and didn't talk much?Xie Jinnian quickly thought, maybe the rumors are true, Miss Zhang Jia really angered the Holy Spirit!Otherwise, how could she avoid people?How come you still look unhappy after meeting Xiao Qi?Couldn't be more wrong.

Xie Jinnian asked enough about the Nanning Marquis Mansion before he left satisfied.Well, there will be a flower viewing party in Jinxiang Hou's Mansion tomorrow, and after I go, I have something to whisper.Who doesn't want to know about the eldest lady of the Nanning Houfu?Who isn't craning their necks to listen?
"... Cough, don't mention it, she stays behind closed doors, she must have no face to see people... I heard that she hides at home every day and loses her temper. I dare not!"

Rumors abounded.

Xie Jinnian is very close to Guan Youshi, the fourth lady of Jinxiang Hou's Mansion. The two sat in a secluded corner and bit their ears, "My Xiaoqi went to Nanning Hou's Mansion yesterday...she is not very happy and doesn't talk much..." It seems It's really frustrating.

For three months, no one had seen her.The only person who saw her was Miss Xie Jiaqi, who said she was "unhappy and not talkative".Alas, it seems that Miss Zhang's family, who used to be banned from the palace as a routine, has really fallen out of favor.

In September, the Ministry of Etiquette submitted a list of candidates for the concubine, and there were three ladies listed as candidates: Xu Shu, the eldest lady of Wei Guogong's mansion, Zhang Yi, the eldest lady of Nanning Hou's mansion, and Wei Ge, the granddaughter of the head of Wei. "This is a family matter, and we should discuss it with the queen." The emperor read the list and said gently.

"Three are good." Empress Xu looked at this, looked at that, she wanted all three, "Your Majesty, why don't one be the main concubine and the other two are side concubines?" It's not an exaggeration for the third concubine.

The emperor was noncommittal.

Empress Xu became more determined.Zhang Ni must have fallen out of favor, otherwise, if the emperor valued Zhang Ni before, how could he allow the crown prince to accept three concubines?Three noble girls entered the palace at the same time, life would be hard for any of them!If the emperor still loves Chong Zhangyi, how could he be willing to let her endure such hardships.

When she entered the palace as a queen, she was "one queen and nine concubines".But those nine concubines were all the daughters of common people or minor officials, and they couldn't be compared with women from a wealthy family like her own.

Although no conclusion was reached that day, Empress Xu was extremely happy, with a faint smile on her face.This appearance fell into the emperor's eyes, and the emperor's heart sank slightly. Is this the daughter of the aristocratic family he insisted on marrying?

Depressed, the emperor strolled to Jingxiao Nunnery.The door of the nunnery opened quietly, and the real Jingxiao in plain clothes came out slowly, and calmly invited the emperor into the quiet room for tea.

They sat quietly for a long while, each silent.It wasn't until the emperor stood up to leave that Zhen Xiaozhen slowly opened his mouth, "What was it for?" Why couldn't my original wife be made a queen?I know that you have never liked me, even if I was established as a queen, it was just a decoration.But I still want to make that decoration, I want that false name, I don't want to die silently in this nunnery.

The emperor was silent.After a long time, without saying a word, he turned and left.Master Jingxiao chuckled, "Your Majesty, have you regretted it? Have you ever regretted it?" I have no experience, I am not likable, what about her?She might let you have your way?

Not necessarily.If she is the virtuous wife in your mind, why do you need it?His eyes are so lonely, his expression is so lonely, and his figure is so desolate.

The emperor paused.After a while, he still lifted his foot and left.Daoist Jingxiao sat slumped on the ground behind him, "Why, why me?" Is the first wife of all dynasties so unlucky as himself?You can't get the love of your husband when you are alive, and you can't enjoy the sacrifices of your children and grandchildren after death!

The emperor walked slowly in the autumn wind without a single attendant.Do you regret it? Have you ever regretted it?Who knows how ruthless he was before becoming an emperor, but after becoming an emperor, he is afraid of wolves and tigers, lest he is not "sage" enough!If there were no taboos back then, if it was unscrupulous back then, wouldn’t there be no need to regret it today?
The emperor returned to the Palace of Qinzheng and ordered the eunuch to summon Cheng Luwei, the commander of Jinyiwei, to see him, "Immediately go to the Marquis of Nanning, and Qing will accompany you."After respectfully agreeing, he resigned immediately, quickly mobilized his subordinates, and guarded him all the way from the palace to Nanning Marquis Mansion, making sure that the emperor's trip was safe.
