Sometimes the palace is sunny

Chapter 90 Fame
The day when the Eldest Princess of Yueqing led the University of Jidian University.

It was a rare sunny day in Yanjing City, and the few wisps of clouds in the blue sky were slender by the wind.

Wearing his newly made fur coat, Zhao Surui walked in the courtyard of Shen's old house to bask in the sun, and saw A Chi anxiously leading the little girls to dry the quilts.

He tilted his head to look for a while, and A Chi realized that his girl had actually arrived in the side courtyard.

"Girl, why did you come here? We washed clothes last night, and there was frost on the ground. You must be careful."

Looking at the quilts fluttering in the wind, Zhao Surui curled his lips boredly:
"Today I want to eat pork knuckles, can't that Cui Fu Lou send me knuckles?"

Achi smiled and said, "Girl, if you want to eat knuckles, why not call Tunan from Zhuangzi into the city? The day before yesterday, you thought Cuifulou's knuckles were too sweet."

Zhao Surui rolled his eyes.

He wasn't going to be angry with Tunan all the time, he could eat at the same table with Shen Sanwao and other thieves who didn't care, so why would he care about a little girl?

It's just that when he thought of Tunan sticking his neck and saying that he would punish him without teaching, he was unwilling to eat the elbow made by Tunan. It seemed that he had to beg a little girl in order to eat the elbow.

"You don't have to eat elbow, what else can you eat in the nearby restaurants?"

A Chi thought for a while: "There is a Northwest mutton..."

"No." Zhao Surui waved his hand. The mutton noodle soup made by Shen Sanwai that day, how should I put it, although it was made with temporary seasonings, it is definitely not as good as letting her start from scratch seriously, but the mutton noodle soup is already Let Zhao Surui understand why a few little girls still can't forget the mutton noodle soup surrounded by Tu Nan's cooking skills.

It's really not the same.

Even if Tunan made the same ones, Shen Sanwau's ones are better.

"I have no interest in eating mutton recently."

Emperor Zhaode said so, of course if Shen Sanwai came to make him mutton noodle soup again, he would be very interested in eating it again.

Achi was at a loss for words, since she entered Yanjing City, the girl has become picky about her meals.

"Then... girl, how about we eat fish?"

"The fish is not tasty enough."

"How about the venison?"

"firewood."

Achi was helpless: "I'd better have someone go to Cuifu Building to buy you elbows."

"Too sweet."

A Chi: "..." Why didn't the girl respond immediately when she wanted to eat the elbow?
Xia He listened from the side, and felt that the young lady was getting more and more childish. Seeing that A Chi was hard to resist, she said with a smile:
"It's rare to be in Yanjing City. Ms. Shen, why don't you try something interesting? I remember that there is a Cantonese cook in Liulichang who cooks the purse rice. The fish and rice are steamed together in the lotus leaf, and the meat is delicious. It's tight, it's rare for me to go out of the house for a year, and it's very interesting to eat, why don't you try it?"

This is also a bit interesting, Zhao Surui gave a "hmm", reluctantly said: "It's better to say that it's really interesting, if I make a trip for nothing, I will have someone wrap you in vegetable leaves when I come back."

Xia He just laughed.

Zhao Surui turned around and took two steps with his small hand stove in his hands, then turned around again:

"Why are you standing still, I'm still waiting for you to lead the way, A Chi, you and Pei Feng will accompany me."

Xia He didn't expect that she would be able to go out, and she didn't know how to let go of her hands and feet for a while. Zhao Surui was quite generous to them on weekdays. She changed into a brand new blue bamboo sleeve jacket with embroidered corners. Fenmei in season, a bean-yellow horse-face skirt on the lower body, Xishangmei embroidered on the front door of the skirt, and a flip-fur double-breasted gown made of gray rabbits.

She stood with A Chi and Pei Feng happily, her appearance was not inferior, and she also had a romantic taste.

Zhao Surui sized her up, but shook his head:
"Didn't I buy new jewelry for everyone when I went back to Zhuangzi last time? Take it out and put it on."

He wears whatever is comfortable for him, and the people who follow him must be stylish, so that he can feel comfortable looking at it.

Xia He twisted the corner of her clothes, and said cautiously: "When I came to the city, I asked others to put away all the jewelry for me."

A Chi glanced at her, and said to his girl: "The girl gave me a pair of lapis lazuli hairpins last time, which match Miss Xia He's outfit."

After finishing speaking, she went to fetch the hairpin, and another gold bracelet with plain ring, which was also put on Xia He's wrist.

Xia He looked up at her, only seeing a slight smile on her face.

Zhao Surui didn't understand the petty affairs between these women, and he was still not satisfied with it. Then he thought that he could buy it again when he met a jewelry store on the road, and he didn't have money in his hand, so he reluctantly let it go.

Pei Feng drove, and the three of them sat in a newly built second carriage and walked along the road by the river to the boundary of Liulichang.

As soon as he landed, Zhao Surui stepped on sheepskin boots and went to a jewelry store. He chose a pair of gold earrings for Xia He to match. He also bought a distraction made of blue gemstones and two pairs of hairpins for Xia He. He is all dressed up.

The taste of the purse rice is indeed more interesting than the other method. You have to untie the dried lotus leaf to eat the rice mixed with fish or meat. A bowl of lotus root meat strip soup.

He was full of wine and food, but Zhao Surui didn't move.

There are no private rooms in the small restaurant, and a pair of middle-aged scholars in blue cotton coats are sitting at the next table, talking.

"The world is getting worse, and even women can wear makeup and gold and silver to go out to eat."

"Hey, Brother Lu, it's not that you don't know where this place is. Maybe it's some secret prostitute who has lost their business, deliberately bluffing around the market to solicit business."

The person who spoke said "maybe", but his tone was very certain.

Pei Feng heard it, and immediately wanted to stand up, but saw his girl knocked on the table, so she could only sit back.

There was a sneer from the next table.

"The world is getting worse, so it's not just about prostitutes taking to the streets? Don't they want women to take the exam for female scholars recently? A group of stupid women and children who don't even know how to hold a pen and only know how to make a fuss when they encounter problems. Go take the exam for the female officer Narosch, I think the empress in the palace really wants to learn the tricks of the rooster sitting in the morning, but His Majesty still indulges blindly, this is a sign of chaos."

"If you want me to say, there must be traitors around our Majesty, who will bewitch the Sacred Heart together with the empress in the palace!"

"Traitor? Who is Brother Wu talking about?"

"Who? That Princess Yueqing, as His Majesty's aunt, didn't stay at home as a widow. Instead, she brought a group of women into the palace, and even got the official position of a bachelor... In my opinion, that lady is just a person she puts in front of people." In disguise, in fact..."

"In any case, she's a princess. She has opened so many embroidery workshops, and it's not enough to make a lot of money every day. She even started to coquettish and greedy for power."

"Desires are hard to fill! A widow who has been guarding for so many years..."

Hearing that the two actually made up their own widowed aunt, Zhao Surui raised his head, and remembered the poor and poor faces of the two of them in his heart.

As soon as he slapped the table, he was about to stand up, but a hand was pressed on his arm.

Xia He smiled coquettishly when she got up with her strength: "How can such things make you angry?"

After finishing speaking, she moved her waist, helped the bun on her head, walked past the two of them, and asked Xiaoer for a pot of hot tea.

Then walked back again.

Zhao Surui only waited for her to make any movements, but saw that she sat down as if nothing happened.

After a while, Xia He actually persuaded him to leave.

Zhao Surui didn't understand, so he didn't tear the two people apart on the spot because he was a bit impatient with Shen San's waste gas, Xia He asked him to leave without doing anything, how could he agree?

"Girl, don't worry."

With a smile on Xia He's lips, he dragged her out of the restaurant and into the carriage.

After a while, there was a commotion in the restaurant.

"I've already said it's a debt, why are you asking me for it all of a sudden today?"

After all, Zhao Surui is a smart man, sitting leaning in the carriage, he looked at Xia He: "Did you find the owner of the restaurant?"

Xia He blinked: "I saw that the sleeves of those two people's clothes were all worn out, and they ordered the cheapest food and drink, so I knew that most of them were really poor, and they still had to go to restaurants when they were so poor. Eating wine and eating meat, this kind of people are the most face-saving, and giving the shopkeeper a dime to collect the bill is enough to embarrass these people."

After all, she didn't hide the meanness on her lips. After explaining her actions, she couldn't help but say:
"This kind of bitch really has a dick disease in his mouth. His lower body can't move, but he keeps going in and out of his mouth. All kinds of dirty urine and feces are sprayed out. It's time to throw their faces on the ground and step on them. It’s a pleasure to grind people.”

Zhao Surui didn't think he was enjoying himself, those two insulted the royal family, death is not a pity, but what is it if they lose face?
After giving her a blank look, he said lazily, "I thought you could show your power by scolding them too."

"Girl, those people are like cesspit things. Why do we bother to get involved? The reputation of a woman's family is as thin as a piece of paper. If you don't pay attention, it will be broken and can't be mended. Looking back, there will be thousands of times of speculation on us. I am a dead concubine, and I will say it when I am told, and I will give it away if I lose face, but girl, you are the head of our family. Yes, your reputation is the door plaque of our house, how can it be defaced because of this kind of trash?"

Zhao Surui looked at Xia He and was silent for a moment:

"Fame...? What does it matter?"

He is happy to be a tyrant who only waits for Emperor Zhaode who is famous in history. How can he take fame as something great?
Of course, if Shen Sanfei used his body to cry, he would never allow it.

He, Zhao Surui, can be a tyrant forever, but he can't be a crying bag for a moment.

"Fame."

There was still commotion outside, Xia He lowered his head and touched the hairpin on his head.

"If you want to say that reputation doesn't matter, it really doesn't matter. After all, you can't touch it or see it, but if you say it doesn't matter, girl, because of your bad reputation, the widow whose family property was taken over by Shen Litang, and the daughter-in-law who was sold off by her family Son, that's quite a lot. Once upon a time in the uncle's mansion, there was a embroidered lady who signed a living contract and married one of the uncle's long-term followers. Because of the reputation of adultery, her man covered her with a quilt at night. Burned alive, the body and the quilt were burned together, and they couldn't be separated. Her family members sued the government, but nothing happened in the end."

Perhaps because of being married, Xia He showed some expressions that Tu Nan and A Chi would not have when speaking, which seemed to be called "desolation".

"Fame is like mud, a person who looks like gold and jade, everyone thinks she is a treasure, but once someone smears her with mud, even if there is still gold and jade inside, it will make a group of villains feel that they can wipe it again. It’s dirty enough that people forget what’s inside, smash it and smash it, and break it if it’s broken.”

Again... the truth of a woman who makes people feel boring.

If it was in the past, Zhao Surui would only feel impatient and ask people to drive Xia He out like Aunt Liu back then.

Now, he could hear something.

At least, he won't justly say that if there is mud on his body, he will be clean after washing.

Where in this world can there be water that can cleanse the filth?I really feel that I can wash away the mud and repeat my innocence, maybe I just entered a new mud.

Even he himself, a wise and powerful king of a country, never thought that his reputation would be innocent.

The difference is that the monarch's reputation is flawed, but it can only be praised and criticized by future generations.

A woman's reputation is flawed, and it is a moment of life and death.

"After listening to Aunt Liu's words, I know where the abyss of women lies."

The words Shen Sanwai said back then resurfaced in his ears, Zhao Surui smiled coldly.

Indulging in secular rules is entering the abyss.

Contrary to the secular rules, or into the abyss.

Only by thinking over and over again and taking a wrong path on the cliff can I keep my body and my heart.

He really didn't expect that there would be a day when he really understood this sentence.

"Xia He, if those two people today are not poor, but rich kids, what about you?"

Xia He said: "The children of rich families naturally have oil and water on their bodies. Tell Jin Yiwei that they criticize the royal family, and Jin Yiwei will be able to peel off a layer of skin from them. Only such poor Jin Yiwei will look down on them."

This is true.

Zhao Surui laughed, and asked again:

"What if it's Xungui? Xungui insults and scolds you, so what about you?"

Xia He was a little at a loss: "Girl, I can't afford to offend Xungui."

"You're still close." Zhao Surui waved his hand, telling Achi to send a message to Peifeng to set off for home, "You want to climb up."

Emperor Zhaode said to this concubine who was born as a slave.

"Climb up and let people know that whoever dares to tarnish your reputation or harm you will die."

Xia He raised his eyes, only to feel his head dizzy with the slight shaking of the car.

This, this kind of thing, how can she, a little concubine, do it?
"Follow me and I'll make you do it."

With the shaking of the car body, the curtain of the car occasionally reveals a ray of blue sky outside.

The light shines on Zhao Surui's face, from time to time.

"It depends on whether you want to or not."

Back at Shen's house, she said to Pei Feng:

"Go and tell Cui Jinniang to bring her two subordinates to see me."

"

　Siri Zhao: Shen Sanwaste!Shen Sanwaste!Shen Sanwaste!Why am I the only one paying New Year's greetings?

　　Shen Shiqing, who was busy reading the memorial: Happy New Year to everyone!Open the private treasury of Emperor Zhaode to see if there is anything that can be gifted in the past.

　　Siri Zhao: Bark teeth!
　　Happy Spring Festival everyone!
　　Things are busy during the Spring Festival, Xiao Lu reminds everyone to behave carefully to prevent the tragedy of "being injured by a frozen chicken" from happening.
