Ninefold Purple

Yizhitang is surrounded by the spring breeze, but Xixiangyuan seems to have been blown by a strong wind, even the plants and trees are trembling, not to mention the maids and servants on duty.

Song Yichun, with his hands behind his back, walked around the book anxiously.

The bright light from the octagonal palace lantern sometimes shone on his face and sometimes on his back, making his expression a little cloudy and uncertain.

"I should have thought a long time ago that the little bastard would not let Mrs. Dou be wronged because Mrs. Dou has several 10 taels of silver as a dowry." He stopped and looked at the palace lantern with a gloomy look. Yes, "He presided over Zhongfu on behalf of Nadou today. The venison was not cooked, the prawns still smelled fishy, ​​and eggshells were found in the hibiscus soup, because the little beast stood there smiling and toasting. Those people No one dared to say anything, and kept praising today's hall for singing well..." At this point, he suddenly remembered, and asked: "Isn't there someone watching us all the time at Yizhi Hall? Why didn’t you know that Song Mo invited Zeng Chusheng from Guanglian News Agency to sing? Whose idea was this?”

Last month, the Eighth Prince opened the mansion and asked Zeng Chusheng to sing at the hall. Zeng Chusheng didn't dare to refuse. He dragged his illness and went there. He lost his voice in the middle of singing. Everyone knows that he is in poor health. No one will go during the Spring Festival. Invite him to sing a church.I didn't expect him to appear in the British government. Apart from the surprise of the guests, who would care about the quality of the banquet at the British government? [

Song Yichun, as the host, was also present.

He was so angry that his face was livid. Not only could he not attack, but he had to suppress his anger and listen to the applause of the crowd, laughing and commenting on Zeng Chusheng's play.

Tao Qizhong couldn't help smiling bitterly when he heard the words.Said: "I don't know what's going on? There was indeed no movement over there before the incident."

Song Yichun was too lazy to listen to Tao Qizhong's words, and said, "I didn't know in advance, so why didn't I investigate afterwards?" He said coldly, "Today he took Zeng Chusheng to save the scene, let me see what he will do tomorrow?"

Tao Qizhong was silent for a moment, answered "yes" in a low voice, and took the opportunity to retreat.

Standing on the veranda, he couldn't help taking a long breath.

Grandpa Guo seems to be confused by anger, and now his mind is all on these trivial matters.What's the use of suppressing Madam?As long as Shi Ziye wants to be favored by the emperor, and as long as Shi Ziye's official career is going well, those people will give his wife three points of courtesy.Don't say that Madam is so smart and capable that she won't be able to find her fault easily, even if she finds her fault, wouldn't those people accuse Madam just to watch the excitement.Is it possible to have a grudge with the son of the world?

Tao Qizhong shook his head and walked out.

When passing by the waiter, he saw Zeng Wuzheng entangled in the corner with a maid in scarlet gown with a playful smile on his face.

Tao Qizhong sighed somewhat helplessly.

The Zeng Wu newly mentioned by Grandpa Guo is far behind Lu Zheng!

A thought flashed across his face, and his expression froze slightly.

The maid in the crimson gown seems to be the falling goose in the Duke's house...

He hurriedly turned back again.

Both Zeng Wu and Luo Yan disappeared.

In the waiter there was only a little maid watching the fire.

He turned around once, but he didn't see Zeng Wu.But he saw Luoyan coming out of Song Yichun's room with an empty Jihong bowl.

Seeing that the pottery was heavy, she was startled.He yelled "Pottery is heavy" in a tense voice, and said with a panicked look: "The Duke of the country has not rested yet, so I will report to the gentleman right now."

"No need." Tao Qi said calmly, "I just came out of the Grandpa's house. You can go about your work!" Said, and walked out. [

Luo Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing Tao Qizhong's figure disappear into the night, he ran towards the osmanthus forest behind the teahouse.

Zeng Wuzheng was waiting there expectantly.

Seeing Luoyan, he hurriedly said, "What's the matter?"

Luoyan clutched her chest.Out of breath, he said: "I was almost discovered by Mr. Tao... Just write it down, I only remember this much... There are 28 people in total. They are all from the Three Princesses' Mansion. In addition to the Three Princesses, there are twelve female relatives... "

He told all about the people Song Yichun was going to have a banquet with tomorrow.

Although Zeng Wu can write a few dog-like characters, but this black light is blind, and he has no paper or ink, so what can he use to write.

But he remembered it well, and he also remembered all about the person Luo Yan said.

Stuffing a gilt hairpin, two pearl flowers and a few pieces of silver to Luoyan, Zeng Wuyi ran away in a hurry.

Luo Yan didn't want to talk about hairpins and pearl flowers. Someone found out that she had an affair with Zeng Wu, but Zeng Wu ran so fast that she disappeared before she could say anything.

She had no choice but to leave the osmanthus forest resentfully.

In front of the door of the tea room, he saw Tao Qi looking in.

She was momentarily taken aback.

Tao Qizhong smiled, and said, "I seem to have seen Zeng Wu just now..."

Luo Yan felt that the jewelry in his sleeves was a little hot, and said, "I didn't see Zeng Wu..."

Tao Qizhong walked out and said with a smile, "Maybe I'm delusional." When he left the Xixiangyuan, he wondered inwardly, did he think wrongly?

He went to Zeng Chusheng's house next to the Thousand Buddha Temple.

Zeng Chusheng greeted him in person, and said to him very politely: "The Duke of the State has already rewarded him with a lot of silk, so why bother Mr. Tao to go there in person. If you have anything to do, just send someone to say it." He hired the first-class Biluochun waiter.

Tao Qi was secretly startled.

Hearing Zeng Chusheng's tone, it was the church meeting where the Duke invited him to sing!

How can this be?

Could it be that someone did it in the name of the Duke of the country? [

He tentatively said: "It's not a big deal, but the Duke of the State came to ask, what is Mr. Chu's next arrangement?"

Zeng Chusheng smiled and ordered his apprentice to take a playlist of the big red sprinkled gold and handed it to Tao Qizhong, saying: "This is the play I will sing next. If the Duke thinks it is not good, you can follow the playlist of the Duke at any time." Change the meaning."

Tao Qizhong accepted the playlist, and said, "I came here temporarily to order, and I don't know the cause and effect..."

Zeng Chusheng was used to walking around the rich and powerful families, so he thought that Tao Qizhong was fighting for the limelight with some steward, so he hurriedly said: "It was Cui Shisan from your family's affairs department who invited me. This play list is also what Cui Ye meant."

Is there anyone surnamed Cui in the Office of the British Government?

Tao Qizhong was at a loss for a while, and soon realized that this person surnamed Cui was probably a relative of Mrs. Cui's aunt's grandmother...

Zeng Chusheng is already going to sing a class, and the British government has also received him. Could it be that he can say that the person surnamed Cui is fake?

Tao Qi chatted with Zeng Chusheng heavily, short of breath, then got up to say goodbye, and went back to the British government.

Song Yichun had already fallen asleep, knowing that the pottery was back again.Get up again.

Tao Qizhong told Song Yichun what happened.

Song Yichun kicked a footstool on the spot.

The footstool tipped over, and the toes of his toes ached like hell.

Holding his toes, he shouted at Pottery: "Get that actor out tomorrow? He still wants to sing a few times at our house, but there is no door!"

"Don't do it!" Tao Qizhong said anxiously, "That opera singer often travels around various houses, especially with those old ladies and grand ladies. It's hard to guarantee that he won't talk like a woman. We rashly After driving people away, those old wives and Mrs. Tai will definitely ask about it. If Zeng Chusheng didn't answer well, and if some rumors spread, wouldn't the British government become a laughing stock? Guanglian Press claims to be the No. [-] theater troupe in Kyoto. For Chinese New Year and festivals, why not let him finish singing for the past few days, and join in the fun!"

Song Yichun jumped up: "I can't do anything to that pair of villains, can it be that I can't even do anything to an actor? Let him get out of here tomorrow!"

Tao Qizhong knew that he was in a fit of anger, and it was useless to persuade him, so he had to back down sadly.

Song Yichun cursed and cursed in the room for a long time, frightening all the maids and servants who were on duty at night trembling for half the night.

But Song Mo looked at Dou Zhao whose hair was wet with sweat, but his heart was full of pain.

He pulled his little coat to help Dou Zhao wipe his face, and asked her worriedly, "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Dou Zhao felt as if he ran a few streets.Very tired, but also kind of inexplicable comfort.

"Where did you learn these methods?" Her voice became a little hoarse from the previous moans. "Be honest?"

Dou Zhao looked sideways at Song Mo with twinkling eyes, but was very unhappy in his heart.

She knew that she was Song Mo's first woman, what Song Mo liked and would like, she knew very well, but the romance just now was definitely not something that Song Mo could imagine out of thin air.She was afraid that Song Mo would go to drink flower wine or Zhangtai would leave. Only in that kind of place could someone know how to get along with a pregnant woman.

After a feast, Song Mo had the feeling that the clouds would open to see the moon, and he was more than happy, but he couldn't feel Dou Zhao's vague displeasure.

He hugged Dou Zhao in his arms, bit her ear and asked her, "Are you okay?"

Dou Zhao thought for a while, then sincerely whispered "Okay" and put his arms around his waist.

Song Mo suddenly became a little proud, and whispered: "I asked the mothers in the palace...they said it can be done..."

Dou Zhao was surprised, and then a little ashamed.

She should have more confidence in Song Mo.

But such an answer made her face burn like fire.

The nuns who know about this kind of thing are usually under the control of the empress.

They will definitely tell the empress the truth.

The reunion dinner on New Year's Eve and the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month are all royal family banquets. Not to mention those nobles, even the empress's natal family has to be specially ordered to participate. The mansion was honored by the ancestors who had been adopted sons of the royal family, so they were counted as members of the royal family, and had to enter the palace every year and festival, so the British government's own family reunion dinner was set on New Year's Eve.

Dou Zhao thought that she would accompany her wife to enjoy the moon and lanterns during the Lantern Festival, so she wanted to cover herself with a quilt and sleep for a long time.

However, Song Mo still quarreled with her, and said with a smile: "If you go to the palace and see the empress, and she asks you to arrange a room with me, just say that it has been arranged, and I will give the two beauties sent by Bo Jiading to you." Gu Yu, don't miss out on me!"

Dou Zhao only hoped that some holes could be drilled in.

"You can't bear it." She turned her back coquettishly, sulking with Song Mo, "Now everyone must know, how can I enter the palace to see the empress!"

"No!" Song Mo stroked her shoulder lightly, and laughed softly, "I told you when the Empress called me, I just like you, and everyone else doesn't like you...the Empress The empress also told me to treat you well, saying that you are pregnant, and when you have a bad temper, let me let you down..."

Sisters and brothers who read the book, post the text first, and correct the typo later.
