Inheritance policy

Chapter 161 Cloth

The sun is hot, hanging in the sky like a burning fireball.

The Guiyi Pavilion is shady and cool, the white gauze window lattices are lightly covered with sapphire blue satin that can calm people down, and the Xiangfei bamboo curtains hang low, dutifully blocking the fiery red light outside, To keep the room quiet.

Lianyu's voice was calm and her expression was calm: "Yesterday was the day when the palaces took orders. Huang's mother took Lianrong and me to clean up the warehouse, so I had to send Qiwan to the House of Internal Affairs to get things. When choosing silk cloth, she By chance, I ran into Jin Luo who was next to the lady of the Gu family. It was the one kneeling outside. Since you were still in mourning, you had to wear plain-colored clothes on weekdays. Qiwan caught a glimpse of a blue lotus-patterned soft satin, and was about to take it. , but was snatched by that Jin Luo before he could make a move."

Xing Zhao sat upright on his head.

It's not a big deal to hear the words here, the concubines will quarrel because of the things sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, not to mention that both of them are young ladies who live in the palace.

Gently raised her chin, motioning for Lianyu to continue speaking.

"Of course Qiwan refuses to accept it. The palace pays attention to wealth, honor and festivities. There are only a few pieces of color that you can wear each season. Your share is based on Princess Huanyi. Three pieces of cloth per season. If you don't have this piece, you will lose money." I had to wear an apricot yellow one, and the white one has been around for a month. Both colors are not good-looking, and the empress doesn't like her. .'Since it is filial piety, it should be guarded in coarse linen. The famous uncle is outside, and the head of Wenyang County should keep the filial piety of two people alone. Only when you have enough to be filial. The head of Wenyang County has always been a gentle person Humans don’t care about the gains and losses of one or two bolts of cloth.” Qiwan argued with her a few words in a fit of anger, and finally abandoned the cloth, went directly to the wife in charge of the thread room, and opened the warehouse again. I carefully picked out two pieces of satin for you to wear in autumn and winter. Who would have thought that Jin Luo would kneel down on the front palace path early in the morning. Aunt Jiang asked me a question, and then she didn't care anymore, little palace lady I went to persuade her, but she didn't listen, so she was allowed to kneel until this time."

"What kind of cloth is it?"

Xing Zhao interrupted, and asked with great interest Qiwan who was standing behind Lianyu, with her hands tied up anxiously.

Qiwan has always been quiet and honest, but was killed by Xing Zhao. She suddenly raised her head, thought and thought, and stammered back: "It seems to be a brocade with blue and white lotus patterns. It is Suzhou embroidery. The embroidery is very good. The lotus flower One by one, the blue background is so light and beautiful, and the pink lotus is so tender and beautiful, the colors are very light, not festive but very elegant, and the fabric is smooth to the touch, which is exactly the same as your little jacket. material."

It is clear that this is specially prepared for her by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and it should be disputed.

Xing Zhao nodded, took a few sips from the teacup, and asked her, "I know you're not good at words, but you dare to argue with others? Tell me, what words did you argue with?"

Qiwan's face burned, but she unconsciously relaxed all over, thinking about her retort yesterday, her face became ashamed and ashamed, she buried her head in the skirt, and replied in a low voice.

"The servant said the servant said. The county master of Wenyang is a kind person and doesn't care about the gain or loss of one or two bolts of cloth. Could it be that the lady of the Gu family is petty and still cares about one or two bolts of cloth?" Qi Wandun After a pause, I raised my head and my pupils were a little dizzy, and finally said with a deep breath: "The servant also said. 'Even if you let your master, the lady of the Gu family has no right to say that the county master is not good. Filial piety, not to mention you are a slave.'."

Xing Zhao heaved a long sigh of relief, he spoke in a reasonable manner, after all, Queen Mother Gu was not involved!
If Queen Mother Gu was involved in the story, she and Queen Fang would not be able to keep Qi Wan!
Xing Zhao looked up at Lianyu and then at Qiwan, and clasped his fingers on the edge of the yellow flower wooden table.

Gu Qingchen made that Jin Luo kneel down on the palace road outside Fengyi Hall. On the surface, he was apologizing, but secretly he threw the question back to her. The implication was that I sincerely asked the maid to come over. After suffering and paying for your crimes, shouldn't you reciprocate and deal with that girl of yours, and the two sides will be more humble, shake hands and make peace, and then it will become a "good relationship" again?
Qiwan actually gave up the piece of cloth in the end, but Gu Qingchen is used to hitting snakes with sticks.

Everyone in the palace will only see that Gu Qingchen was the first to give in, if he ignores it, his reputation of arrogance will be confirmed, if she ignores it
Xingzhao found that now she can understand Huanyi's distorted expression very well, and she is also extremely distorted now. Gu Qingchen likes to be a good person and be a saint. She has a good face!
Xing Zhao kept silent, Qi Wan didn't dare to look up, and Lian Yu was also panicked——Jiang Mingying asked and stopped asking, making it clear that it was Queen Fang who let the girl handle the matter by herself.
My own little lady knows that the girl is suitable for making suggestions and being a military adviser.The Gu family is holding a soft knife and trying to ruin the reputation of the little lady. Here, letting that Jin Luo stand up at will is equivalent to Feng Yidian's softness to the Cihe Palace, but let her sleep under the scorching sun. Kneeling like this, there is no guarantee that nothing will happen - because a piece of cloth lost a person's life, it is guaranteed that tomorrow the whole palace will start to make noise again.
Obviously it was Gu Qingchen who snatched it first, so no matter what the result is, the Gu family will be invincible and profitable!
"okay."

Xing Zhao's voice was crisp and clear to break the silence, he smiled and looked at the anxious Qi Wan, and said: "It's nothing serious, and you didn't say anything wrong. Gu Qingchen really doesn't have the qualifications to teach me a lesson." She tilted her head and put the teacup on the table, "But I still have to fine you. Your monthly money for this month will be distributed to the servants below to buy sweets, and the lotus jade and lotus seed paste will also be fined for three months."

His Wanmei brows were happy, but it was too late to rejoice, but he listened to Xing Zhao's words.

". After all the cruel words have been spoken, the clothes are still not snatched. It is really a shame for our Guiyi Pavilion. In the future, we either don't snatch it, or we have to be ruthless to snatch it. There is no reason to be angry and wronged. You won't get any benefits, if Dudu Fang finds out, he will definitely laugh at you for being stupid."

Xing Zhao smiled and stood up with the back of the chair, motioned for someone to roll up the bamboo curtain of Concubine Xiang, and called Lian Yu: "Let that palace maid kneel first, her master doesn't take pity on her, how can she expect others to take pity on her? Let's go, let's go to the Cihe Palace and see if the elder sister of the Gu family looks good in green lotus color."

Gu Qingchen likes to play tricks, she please, just one thing, don't drag others down.

Yes, the palace is a stage, after beating the gongs and drums, everyone came on stage, but she, Gu Qingchen, is not a famous actor, so she has no reason to force a group of green leaves to call her a red flower.

Concubine Xiang's bamboo curtain was moved up inch by inch, and the sunlight poured in with a scorching heat.

Qiwan was stunned for a moment, and when Xing Zhao had gone far away, she quietly apologized to Lianrong: "It was Qiwan who hurt the two sisters."

Lian Rong pursed her lips and smiled, stretched out her hand to flick the little girl's buns, and said with a smile: "It's nothing to do with you, the girl is annoyed that Lian Yu and I didn't tell her about it earlier, and let the one from the Palace of Compassionate Harmony do it first. Well, it looks like our fault is bigger than yours, the girl blamed us both without a face, is she giving us face? If you don’t have money to buy snacks this month, just come to us, don’t dare to say anything else, lotus seed cake is enough! "

If Xing Zhao heard Lian Rong's words, he would be very relieved.

But she probably couldn't hear it, the summer is full of flowers all the way.

Adding up the two lifetimes, the number of times Xing Zhao has come to the Palace of Mercy and Harmony can be counted with one hand.When Empress Dowager Gu was fine, she didn't like her to go. It can be seen as the old man's old-fashioned fear that Xingzhao's filial piety would affect her luck, but Xingzhao felt that Queen Mother Gu might not be afraid. Being a thief must have a guilty conscience. Empress Dowager Gu didn't want to It also makes sense to see her.

The sun was very hot, so Xing Zhao chose a covered bridge road to hide in the shade, and walked at a leisurely pace.Walking together, thinking about Gu Qingchen together, walking through the Taiye Pond, Xing Zhao suddenly heard a call from behind.

"Master Wenyang County!"

Turning around and looking back, I saw the sixth prince walking quickly with his long gown in hand.

Xing Zhao stepped back unconsciously, and politely closed his eyes to ask the salute, but from the corner of his eyes, he caught a glimpse of the sixth prince sweating on his temples, walking in a hurry, and sighed inwardly, and he couldn't explain what he was sighing Famous.

The sixth prince finally stood still, the young man nodded his head in return, and smiled loudly: "Isn't your body better? It's so hot these days that Mr. Chang's classes have been suspended, and the sun is so big, why do you still come out for a walk?" His eyes turned to Lian Yu looked over and said, "I don't ask the servant girl to bring a cover, the wind and heat are the most taboo."

This is the first time she heard the sixth prince talk so much, right?
This seems to be the second time she has met the sixth prince this year, right?The first time was at the family dinner on New Year's Eve, when he toasted her across the crowd.

Xing Zhao's eyes fell on the slightly rolled up skirt of the sixth prince, because he was constrained by etiquette, and even more so by the rules, he didn't dare to look up.

"Thank you, His Highness Duan Wang, for your concern." Xing Zhao answered concisely, and suddenly realized that she owed the sixth prince a lot of thanks, once for writing a letter, once for asking Huanyi to send her a message, once for sending a stone, thank you so much , she didn't have the face to thank you anymore.

Xing Zhao raised his steps and stepped back, looking a little embarrassed, "It's not too far from Fengyi Hall to Cihe Palace, and then you can go through Chunlu Hall."

The sixth prince's face froze, his eyebrows sank, the little lady had grown a lot taller after a long time no see.Going forward to his chest, now almost reaching his shoulders, still bent slightly invisibly, and asked slowly at the same level: "Sure to offend, ask me one more question, what is the county lord doing in the Palace of Compassion and Harmony?"

Lao Liu got closer and closer, his eyes became brighter and brighter, and Xing Zhao became more panicked.

It was different from seeing Zhou Pingning's first love affair in the previous life, this time it was genuine panic, so panicked that he wanted to run away quickly, Xing Zhao subconsciously turned his head to avoid, "I'm going to see the sister of the Gu family." , "Her maidservant knelt on the palace path of Guiyi Pavilion"

The sixth prince's expression darkened at first, then his brows became tighter and tighter, and he continued in a deep voice: "Miss Gu's family is experienced in handling things, and she always has a clear goal. Although asking the empress to come forward is a sledgehammer, it's better than you."

After a pause, the young man suddenly remembered how he saw Xing Zhao for the first time. The little lady was obviously guilty, but she still got tough and tried to cheat the market lady. She always looked very determined and her spirits were high.

She was relieved for no reason, but she changed the subject: "Don't take it hard, any reputation is small, and it can't be eaten. The Gu family has a sweet heart, and if you feel wronged, you can cry out loud." Yue said, originally The heart that was put down became more and more lifted, "Do you want to accidentally accompany the county magistrate? Or call the eldest sister?"

The eldest sister is Huanyi.

Xing Zhao slowly raised his head, blinked, his eyes were sour.

Isn't the sixth prince always a handsome young gentleman who speaks slowly and is full of bookishness?

When did you become nagging like Mama Huang?
