Chapter 193 Irony
Although the Murong clan is guarding Anxi, it is impossible that there are no people in the capital. The elder brother of Princess Yunhe and the eldest son of Anxi Dufu Mansion Murong Qi has a mansion in Chang'an City, so the news of Chang'an City is naturally impossible for Princess Yunhe. I don't know at all.However, the information obtained from the letter will naturally not be timely, and he has never received any letters from Beiping all the way to the capital Chang'an, so although the owner of Yunhe County Murong is not ignorant of the information of the palace, he does know it. Not exhaustive, so after returning to the mansion, Murong Xianzhen was sent to inquire about the news.

Murong Xianzhen came to Chang'an City a few months ago on the grounds of giving a new year gift, and Qin Zhao also met him.

However, they only returned to the palace yesterday, so it is impossible to inquire about many things in this day.

Murong Xianzhen probably said a few things, which Yunhe Princess Murong had learned from the letters of his elder brother Murong Shizi Murong Qi before.And it's only been a day since he returned to Beijing, and Murong Xianzhen didn't get much information, which was expected, so Murong asked, "Is there any news about Qin Zhao?"

In Murong Xian's heart, although the Princess of Fuling is a little clever, judging from the last meeting, it seems that she doesn't like Princess Yunhe very much, and maybe she has a little scheming, but seeing how she acts, she is very happy and angry. He was young, so there was really nothing to worry about, so he replied: "My subordinates have inquired, and the princess of Fuling seems to have an extremely domineering personality. The handwriting is a little eye-catching, but the others are really unusual, and they are not well-known among the noble ladies in Chang'an City. I heard that I learned the Luo family's marksmanship from the Duke of Yue, but I haven't heard of anyone who is outstanding in martial arts If it is a man from an ordinary family, he can manage the accounts, but he is a woman. Others, I haven't heard anything about it."

If it's just so ordinary and has a good appearance, it's really nothing to worry about.Thinking about the uncomfortable feeling in his heart when the girl came to pay her respects today, Yun He was still a little worried, and said: "Pay attention to this girl, find someone to watch, if there is anything, please report it to me in time. "

Murong Xian really answered "Yes", wondering why Yunhe suddenly paid more attention to that Princess of Fuling, paused, and then added: "Speaking of which, Princess Fuling is not like an ordinary noble lady with meritorious service. , seems to be very fond of farming, and often runs on the farm, and also opened a tea shop with the girl from the Duke of Lu's mansion. I heard that the business is doing very well. The daughter of the Duke’s Mansion, Jun, actually has two His Royal Highnesses behind her, Princess Jinyang and Princess Qinghe. In addition, it is said that she has some relationship with Ge Shu Minglang, the eldest son of Beiting Dufu Mansion. There is also one thing, my subordinates heard, The princess of Fuling seems to have offended the Duke of E's mansion, injured the heir of the Duke of E's mansion, and asked the Duke of E's mansion to pay her 5000 taels on the grounds that the steward of the Duke of E's mansion destroyed her food farm. The silver, the silver, was recovered with the help of the lord. This matter is very embarrassing to the Duke of E. Because of this, many people laugh at the Duke of E... Maybe it is the Yuchi family, yes Princess Fuling has a lot of opinions."

It's not surprising that the ladies of the aristocratic families have some property in their hands, but most of them are taken care of by the servants of the family. Few of them take charge of it personally like Qin Zhao, but it's not surprising, but she and Ge Shu Mingming has something to do with it, which makes Yun and the princess interested.And that girl dared to injure the eldest son of Duke E's mansion, and even made Duke E's mansion lose money, where did she have the guts?Princess Jinyang and the prince actually supported her...

And the relationship with Geshu Minglang.Ordinarily, Qin Zhe served as the envoy of the three armies in Beiting Duhu Mansion, so the Qin family should avoid any contact with Geshu Shizi, but although friendship is taboo, it is impossible for the Qin family and Geshu Shizi's mansion to have no contact at all, Murong There must be a reason for Xianzhen to say that Qin Zhao has some relationship with brother Shu Minglang.

A glint of haze flashed in Murong's eyes.It is natural to ask clearly.

Murong Xianzhen then told Murong about the fact that brother Shu Minglang had rescued Qin Zhao.

They are both alien races in the northwest border, and both families surrendered to David, and both were set up as the Protectorate, each guarding one side, so it is impossible for the Murong clan and the Geshu clan to have no contact.In the early years, the Murong family had a daughter who married a son of the royal family of the Geshu clan.Although the two families had no marriage after David founded the country, but because the two families watched and helped each other and guarded the northwest, the two clans had little friendship on the surface except for official business, but it was impossible for them to have no contact in private.

Therefore, Murong also met Ge Shu Minglang.It's just that when she was not out of the cabinet, Ge Shu Minglang was still young, and he had not been established as the eldest son at that time, so the Murong family naturally didn't pay attention to him, and didn't have a deep impression of him.

Although the Geshu people belong to the Turks, since they surrendered to David, they have lost the arrogance of the Youshi people. The Murong clan in the guard house did even better, and even the military power was handed over to David.Of course the Murong Clan did not believe that the Geshu Clan was really willing to join David, and had tried it in private, but it was a pity that King Geshu didn't take the Murong Clan's fault at all.

I heard that elder brother Shu Minglang had rescued Qin Zhao when he was traveling in the clouds a few years ago, although Murong was a little surprised, she didn't take it to heart, but it was the fact that Qin Zhao often lived in the Duke's mansion of Yue State, which made her frown a little.But thinking of the entanglement between Qin Zhao and Duke E, Murong's mood improved.

If that girl is really not easy, with someone as strong as Lao Yue Guogong backing her up, it may not be so easy to deal with that girl, but with her and Liang Zi from E State Duke's mansion, E State The government may not be unable to take advantage of one or two.

Thinking that she is her stepmother on the surface, and Princess Jinyang may not really care about such a niece, Murong's worries are even less serious.

Instructing Murong Xianzhen to have more contacts with the Changshi, Dianjun, and stewards of the palace in the future, and to pay close attention to Qin Zhaowai, and sent him out.

Not to mention the Murong family, the Qin Zhao sisters wrote invitations and sent them to various prefectures. They also sent people to Sansheng Juli, saying that they would invite the two young gentlemen and the young girl to Fucui Pavilion tomorrow. Things to do.

Murong asked a few words, and heard that Changning, Yixing, and Princess Qinghua of Prince Jin's Mansion invited the ladies to play. Qin Yun and Qin Han were also considered hosts, so they naturally needed to participate, so they agreed.

The weather at the end of April was not too hot or cold. Yixing felt that it would be boring to only eat barbecue, and performing a piano or playing chess would be boring, so he thought it would be better to go to the Martial Arts Field to play polo.

Although Qin Zhao studies martial arts, he has no interest in polo, the national sport of Fengmi Weiguo, but Chang Ning also likes it. No, it is also full of interest.

Qin Zhao then poured cold water: "In total, there are only Cousin Jinwu and Cousin Jingchen. The cousins ​​of the Pei family are young and I don't like to play. Where can I gather so many people? If you really want to play polo Well, it will be the Dragon Boat Festival in a few days, and the palace will definitely be lively. You might as well form a team and go to the palace to fight. When the time comes, the noble ladies of your family will form a team, and the palace ladies and officials, Or the polo team built by the concubines, if they win, there may be rewards from His Majesty and the Empress, wouldn't it be more interesting than playing by ourselves?"

Isn't it?The world is not only for playing by yourself, but also for many people to watch. All high-ranking female relatives from various prefectures will enter the palace. The more Yixing thinks about it, the more feasible it is.But if there is no polo in the Dragon Boat Festival this year, wouldn't it be a waste of joy?
Yixing thought about it, and planned to go to the palace to talk to the emperor's grandmother in the next two days, and he must let a polo match be held.

At that time, I will find a few players who are good at equestrian skills. If they can win a few games and win a championship, maybe the emperor's grandfather and grandmother will be happy. As Azhao said, there will be many rewards.Besides, she was going to perform the ceremony in July, and if she could win the game, she could take advantage of the joy of the emperor's grandfather and grandmother, and also seek the title of princess.Otherwise, Ah Zhao would be the county lord, and he is still a county lord, which is really shameful.She can't marry with the rank of a county lord in the future, she must know that there is a big difference in the wedding ceremonies of the county lord and the princess.

Thinking of getting married, Yixing inevitably felt sad again.

But this sadness only lasted for a while.Qinghua originally came to her house to relax, so he couldn't put on a face and make her unhappy.

They said they would play in the afternoon, but Chen Jinwu brought Jing Chen over early in the morning. Surprisingly, this time Luo Jingyun also came to the palace with him.Although Yixing and Qin Zhao really had no feelings for this concubine girl from the Luo family, they could only treat her well when they came here as guests.Luo Jingchen took a moment and said with a wry smile: "When Jinwu went to look for me in the morning, she happened to be in my yard. I heard that we came to your house to play, so I wanted to follow. I had no choice but to bring her here. I know you If you don't like her, just look at me. After all, she is also my sister. "

Qin Zhao said with a smile: "What did my cousin say? Although I don't like her, how can I not allow people to come to visit? I just hope she won't mess with my third sister, that little witch."

Hearing that Yixing was a little witch, Luo Jingchen laughed and said, "I'm making trouble all day, believe it or not, I'll tell Yixing to go?"

Qin Zhao hurriedly said, "Good cousin, please don't. If you really tell me, I don't know how much trouble I have caused."

Luo Jingchen smiled, and said in a low voice: "I heard that Second Uncle and Princess Yunhe are back?"

Qin Zhao nodded.

Luo Jingchen said: "Grandfather said about the Dragon Boat Festival, he will pick you up to stay with us for a few days, it means that I haven't eaten the meal you cooked for a long time, so I'm thinking too hard."

This is Grandpa Luo backing him up, telling Qin Qingyong that she has the rhythm of his old man protecting her?
A few days ago, either I was busy with the farm tea shop and the accounts of the oil workshop, or the affairs of Ah Shu, or I was invited to go out with Changning and the others for a spring outing. I really didn’t spend time with Grandpa Luo. Qin Zhao smiled and said: "Okay, I just came back from the village, and I don't have to wait until after the Dragon Boat Festival. I will go to see Grandpa Luo in two days, so that the old man won't say that I am all about having fun and don't care about him. .”

"Grandfather likes Brother Shan, so call him together when the time comes. Since you said you won't wait until after the Dragon Boat Festival, then I'll tell Grandpa when I go back, and I'll send someone to pick him up the next day, okay?"

Qin Zhao nodded.The Luo family sent someone to pick her up, of course it was better than going by herself.After all, the old God of War came to pick him up, and no one dared to stop him from going.

Several people had lunch in Yulanju, and the old concubine knew they were coming, so she offered some special dishes.The Pei family's cousin Pei Feiran and younger cousin Pei Zhujie came to the palace after lunch, Qi Liangqin was a little late, and the one who didn't want to come with her was Yuchi Lanlan, a young lady from the Yuchi family.

If it wasn't at his own home, it wouldn't be rude to be rude, Yixing wanted to lose face at that time.

Qi Liangqin also looked embarrassed.

Although Qin Zhao is also the host, but she is the youngest, so naturally she will not stand out, so Chang Ning welcomed her in with a smile.When we met each other, we went to Fucui Pavilion because we were all together.

Fucui Pavilion has already been prepared. Although it is far away, it is not pampered here, and no soft sedan chairs are used. A group of people took the maid and really went to Fucui Pavilion.

On the way, Qi Liangqin was probably a few steps behind, so he pulled Yixing to talk behind him: "Lan Lan went to our house with Mrs. Yuchi one morning, and when they heard that I was coming to the palace, they said they would come with them. I couldn't refuse, so I had to call her followed."

Yixing curled his lips, and then smacked at Luo Jingyun, who was pulling Pei Feise to talk, and said, "That one is too."

If it is normal, it is extremely rude for this kind of guest to come to the door without posting a post.Especially the nobles of Chang'an City, the most respectful of etiquette, but these few families are too familiar. Although the Yuchi family is no longer as prosperous as it used to be, the friendship of the older generation is there, and they are also nobles. Even if the relationship is not as good as before, it is impossible for people in the same circle to have no contact.Even if their juniors are at odds, in the eyes of the elders, it's just children who are angry.Although Yuchi Lanlan is really annoying, but she is also a real life sister, and of course it is impossible not to keep in touch.Since she was a child, she was used to playing together, so it was not rude for her to come to the door with Qi Liangqin.

But here are all prostitutes, so it would be a little out of date for Luo Jingyun to follow.David's concubine clearly understood that if it was an ordinary concubine's daughter, even if the Luo and Qin families were on good terms, it would not be appropriate for Luo Jingchen to bring Luo Jingyun to their party. As a concubine daughter, Luo Jingyun's status as a concubine daughter is actually no lower than that of ordinary people's concubine daughters. In addition, she is the most annoying person. Except for Qin Zhao, everyone here has grown up playing together since childhood, and has long been used to it. up.

Looking at Luo Jingyun in front of him, Qi Liangqin could only smile wryly.

When he arrived at Fucui Pavilion, Qin Zhao sent someone to Sansheng Juli to invite the twins, Qin Yun and Qin Han.

Because they just returned to the mansion, they didn't know Chen Jinwu and the others, so when they lived in Yulan, they didn't invite this twin brother and sister to come.Besides, they are young, and they have nothing in common when they are invited.

Yuchi Lanlan and Luo Jingyun are direct aunts and cousins, but Yuchi Lanlan has always looked down on Luo Jingyun, a concubine cousin, but her relationship with Chen Jinwu and the others is not good, so she can only hang out with Luo Jingyun at this moment talk together.

Because a warm shed was built in the west corner of the backyard of Fucui Pavilion, when a few people sat on the second floor with open doors and windows drinking tea and talking, they could see the warm shed. The only thing you care about is the money, Fuling really loves money, it’s strange that people say you are a boy who makes money, but you actually built a warm shed in a good garden, which ruined the scenery of the garden, making people laugh when you talk about it.”

Luo Jingyun obviously saw it too, and originally wanted to stab Qin Zhao with a few words about the greenhouse, but after listening to his cousin's words, he felt that he was very pleased, and even pretended to be extremely surprised, saying: "Build a greenhouse in the garden? There is such a thing? No wonder during the New Year, everyone said that the Qin family’s vegetables were selling well and earned a lot of money. It turns out that you even have a greenhouse in your own garden in Fuling, tsk tsk... this is really..."

Qin Zhao took a look at the two of them, and really didn't bother to talk to these two middle-term students, but she was generous and unwilling to talk to them, but Yixing was a stern one, not to mention she was talking about the Qin family, so she smiled after hearing this : "Azhao built this greenhouse because she often heard from her grandmother that she would get angry from eating too much meat in winter. She was filial, so she figured out how to grow a greenhouse. Where there is no hot spring water, a greenhouse can be planted Vegetables, my mother said, this is also the wisdom of the world, how can some idiots talk about it? What's more, the winter vegetables grown in this greenhouse, except for our own use, the rest are sent to you Home, I heard that the last time you had a treat at Yuchi’s residence, you also came to our house to beg for a lot of fresh vegetables. I heard Yuchi Lanlan say that money is not money, so it’s possible that our family sent it to your residence. Fresh vegetables, did your family pay our family? But I didn’t hear my mother say it. It’s obvious that your family sent someone to ask for it, and my mother sent it to your family’s face. Don't worry, our family is not short of money, and we will hit the board in charge later and return the money to your family. Even Azhao in our family knows that there is no charge for sending things to relatives. It's affection. If the money should be collected, it will be collected from the face. If you don't give it, just come to the door and ask for it. We will not hide it. This is what a noble family should do."

Said Yuchi's blue face turns blue and turns red.

All the money that should be collected is collected from the face, and the direct manager does not come to ask for it, and does not hide it.Isn't this just ironic that his family really paid Qin Zhao 5000 taels of silver because of Qin Zhao's claim?Her elder brother, a son of the Duke's family, not only had his teeth knocked out by that bastard in Fuling, but their family also compensated her a full 5000 taels, making it a joke in Chang'an City.Every time Yuchi Lanlan thinks about it, her teeth itch with hatred, wishing she could tear Qin Zhao, a dead girl, alive.Yixing must have done it on purpose when he mentioned this, it was a slap in the face!

Yuchi Lanlan is not a person who can bear it, and was thinking about how to express his anger when he heard Qin Zhao's maid, Zisu, report that it was Xiao Langjun and Fifth Miss who had come.

Qin Zhao was invited in.

Qin Huaiyong didn't keep his wife's filial piety for a year, and Yuchi Lanlan knew about the fact that his wife married another step-wife three months after her death. Hearing that the younger siblings from Qin Zhao's stepmother came, he couldn't help but Take pleasure in other's misfortune.

From time to time, the twins Qin Yun and Qin Han entered the door.

Qin Zhao loves red very much, most of her clothes are red.Her facial features are extremely beautiful, and her temperament is extremely heroic, and the strong flying red makes her heroic.I don't want Qin Yun and Qin Han to like red too.Because the two brothers and sisters are twins, their facial features are extremely similar, and their looks are exactly like their mother. Murong's family is born with beauties, so when this pair of brothers and sisters appeared, they attracted everyone's attention.

Qin Yun was dressed in a red gown with arrow sleeves and a golden gauze crown on his head, while Qin Han was wearing a red skirt and a long skirt, with red ribbons tied in buns on his head and pearl pendants. Both of them had picturesque eyebrows. Standing in front of everyone, a small person is really hard to miss.

The two saluted everyone, and everyone returned the salute.

Qin Zhao is the elder sister, so she introduced everyone one by one.

Qin Yun stood on one side without making a sound, Qin Han grinned, the two little nests loomed, looking very sweet and cute, Qiao Shengsheng came forward and pulled Qin Zhao, and said: "Fourth sister, your garden is so nice, and grandma also Said to set me up in a garden, my sister looks at you and likes it very much, the second sister and the third sister live together in Yulanju, or I will ask my grandmother to go, I will also share a yard with you, and live in Fucui with you How are you?"

Who doesn't want to have their own private yard?Qin Han really wants to live in the same hospital with her?She is not afraid to speculate on others with the greatest malice. Could it be that this brat still wants to play undercover?
Qin Zhao said with a faint smile: "My yard is too far away, and there is only one main building. There is only one upstairs bedroom. The second floor is a study and a living room for guests. The downstairs is used by maids on duty. There is really no spare room for you. And I am not used to living in the same room with others, I am afraid I will disappoint you. Our palace is big enough, let the maid lead you around later, pick a better one Surely Auntie will not refuse to give it."

Then he said to everyone: "Let's arrange the barbecue in the pavilion on the other side of the waterside pavilion. The maids have everything ready. I have sent someone to arrange the arrangement. We have just had lunch and are not hungry. Let's drink tea for a while, talk, and then go over after the arrangement is settled. Please sit down soon."

Qin Han rolled his eyes, and his eyes smiled crescent moon.
