Mu Huagui

Chapter 60
As the days became hotter day by day, the emperor successively took in Ming Qiniang and Chen Qiluo, both of whom were beauties.Everyone in the Chen family is honored.

Although the grade is low, life is always made step by step. The key is who can give birth to the eldest son.

Perhaps the emperor had opened his mind, had a beginning, and later accepted Tang Xiaodie, the Weifu sisters and several outstanding girls into the palace.

The so-called no family affairs in the palace, and the unresolved succession has become the biggest issue in the imperial court.The ministers wrote letters one after another, and the king of Xianjun began to move around. How could he not be in a hurry, the eldest son is still a monk in Wuhua Temple, and only the emperor's wedding can return to the vulgar.

And the vacancy of the back seat is also an opportunity. Recently, Princess Xianjun, like Princess Dongjun, often brings people into the palace to show the empress dowager.Of course, on the bright side, it was still under the banner of accompanying the Empress Dowager to gossip about family affairs and show filial piety.

"It can't be delayed any longer. The emperor's wedding is a big event, and there are also Na Cai, Wenming, Najib, Nazheng, asking for a date, and a personal welcome. As for the people in the Ministry of Rites, they will hold the emperor's wedding in their lifetime, and they must not die." If you put in the effort, it will be considered fast if you can get married next year.

It's a pity that Mr. Xiong doesn't have a granddaughter, otherwise, haha..." Zhou Mingyuan flipped through the list and said.

"Even if Mr. Xiong has a granddaughter, it is not suitable for him. He is not compatible with King Xianjun. There is no need to waste a queen's seat to win him over." Emperor Tianqi had faint dark circles under his eyes. drag.

Who to choose, this is really a question, must be carefully weighed.The list was narrowed again and again, ten people's names were put together, but there was only one queen.

"How is the translation of the book?" the emperor closed the list and asked.

"Well, after rewriting it, I took a few characters out to test the water. This is a script that has been circulated in the mountains in Annan, called Nushu. Few people can recognize it now."

Fortunately, in Annan, I can rely on the help of my mother's mother's natal Annanhou Mansion, otherwise the Great Zhou Dynasty will run around casually, and no matter how full the staff is, I don't know when it will be.

"Rarely does not mean that there is none." Emperor Tianqi looked at his companions from childhood to adulthood with some dissatisfaction. This matter is the top priority at present, second only to the selection of the queen.

"Give me another month, and I promise to finish it." Zhou Mingyuan sighed. Those who understand Nushu are basically old people in their 90s and [-]s, and they are still old women.Not to mention old eyesight and dizziness, many local words in Annan are different from those in the capital.You can neither give all the prescriptions to one person, nor trust one person's translation, which is really a headache.

"Is there any movement from Chen Jiao'er?" Emperor Tianqi frowned, and he also began to suspect that the girl was indeed not from the Lu family.The Lu family must either hide from the world, and since they were born, it must be a bloodbath.Or ask for something, negotiate or threaten, in short, it will not be so quiet.

"Nothing." Zhou Mingyuan added inwardly, besides causing some rotten love affairs.Then he thought of an insignificant matter, and said, "Chen Desheng, I don't know why, has some thoughts about an old slave that Chen Jiao'er wants to come out of the Chen residence."

Seeing that Emperor Tianqi was waiting for him to continue, he hesitated and said, "I'm not sure, maybe he wanted to kill people to silence the story. But the people who found our hidden guards immediately retreated, and there has been no movement since then."

"This is interesting. Chen Desheng has always hugged Uncle Xian's thigh very tightly. Because of his daughter's entry into the palace, he went to the palace of Xian County to plead guilty. He was just a slave. Check it out and see what's going on in the middle."

"Yes." Zhou Mingyuan nodded. It's good to find out, if there is any evidence to win the person of King Xianjun, it will definitely be a good deal.

Just after leaving the palace gate, I saw Zhu Sheng spinning around nervously.Seeing his young master leaving the palace, he quickly ran forward to pay his respects, stood up and hurriedly said, "It's not good, my son, that girl actually went out with a kid in the suburbs for an outing. Everyone has been gone for an hour, and now I'm chasing you back." Can catch up."

"Traveling, where is it?"

"Oh, my son, hurry up and get on the horse, we still have time to get there."

Zhou Mingyuan, who was already on the horse, suddenly jumped off again, threw the whip and said, "What are you going to do? Let's see if you are friendly. I won't ride the horse anymore, prepare the sedan chair."

"Today, I didn't prepare a sedan chair today. Please calm down." Zhu Sheng saw the elder brother pick up the horsewhip, thinking that he was going to whip himself, so scared that he knelt down and begged for mercy.

The whip whipped, hey, why don't you feel the pain, the sound of bamboo came up, there was still the figure of Shizi, only a trail of dirt kicked up by the horse's hooves could be seen in the distance, rolling up a cloud of smoke.

Chen Jiao'er was sitting on the carriage, chatting with Lin Zhicong who was outside the carriage.What Li Dafeng thought of was the words that came from Mrs. Su, "I have been very smart since I was a child, but I was a little arrogant, which is understandable. It's just that my father and the old man of the Chen family have some unclear interests. Will it cause any harm?"

Aunt Su and Cherry understood what Chen Jiaoer was thinking. In their hearts, revenge for a female ghost was of course not as important as the safety of their own lady.

Aunt Su was even more straightforward, "Even if you don't tell me, the old woman can guess how much, but the relationship with the eldest son has not been clarified, and she is entangled with this kind of family. In the eyes of outsiders, it is always with the girl's family. Reputation gets in the way."

Naturally, merchants are no different than official ladies, and there are many less rules when going out and meeting customers, but it is not a good thing to have close relationships with men.You can't yell all over the world, I approached him for revenge.

Time can't wait any longer, and finally he was kicked out of fame, so there are all kinds of intersections.If he waited until he found a chance to recover his fame, it would be very difficult for him to do anything.

"Miss Chen has something on her mind." Lin Zhicong felt a little disappointed. He had spent a lot of effort to please others, but when he saw the beautiful woman under the tulle, he seemed to be distracted and didn't take him seriously.

"The business in the store is not good recently, so... alas." Chen Jiao'er's eyebrows were worried, and her eyes were blurred, which made Lin Zhicong's heart jump out of the car, wishing to immediately embrace the beautiful woman in her arms, and have a good time Reassure.

Cherry sat in a corner of the car, turned her face away and lowered her head and smiled secretly. The business in the store has improved a lot since the young lady's order and Uncle Su's idea were fulfilled.It's just that in the eyes of others, the people who come and go into the store are ordinary people, and the purchases are only embroidery products calculated in copper coins, so naturally there is not much profit.

But they don't know that the real money is the gold needle embroidery that the young lady puts in the store and uses in the store, and the pouches and sachets that are sent to the rich and powerful.These transactions were placed in the quiet room on the second floor, or delivered to the door, and they were not revealed to anyone at all.This is also what the lady ordered, and the money should not be exposed.While desperately collecting money, he cried and pretended to be poor.

"I think the business in the store has improved a lot recently." Lin Zhicong spoke softly.

"It's just a countryman who went to the city to buy some embroidery thread, a few expensive handkerchiefs and other things. Seeing that there are so many people, it won't be worth anything in a month. There are so many people to support, I am really worried." Chen Jiaoer shook her head. , with a helpless and weak appearance.

"My father has been in business for many years, why don't I ask him for advice?" Lin Zhicong thought for a long time, then said cautiously.The owner of his silver house has long since changed hands, but he never told Chen Jiao'er clearly, and he was also afraid that she would know the truth, so he would not associate with him anymore.

Thinking of myself as a talented scholar, merchants like this are eager to marry their daughters to him even if they have no money.Like now, I still have to worry about it, for fear that if I am not careful, I will be rejected by others.This kind of gap is really too big, and every time I think about it, I feel depressed.

"That's not necessary. I got a chance recently. You also know that Mingmei, who is the most beloved by the emperor in the palace, and I are old acquaintances. She came to me through someone. Let me do something for her, you know, I am alone As a woman, I always feel a little uneasy when it comes to matters in the palace. But she is quite favored by the emperor, how can I, a commoner girl, offend me." Chen Jiao'er sighed.

"Mingmei who is next to the emperor, this is a golden opportunity, don't miss it." Lin Zhicong was so excited that even his toes began to tremble. If he could get in touch with the nobles in the palace, why would he not be able to recover his fame? .Thinking of this, I can't wait to rush to serve Mingmei right away.

"Let me think about it again." Seeing him hooked, Chen Jiao'er immediately stopped talking and chatted about the scenery outside the car, which made Lin Zhicong scratch his head in anxiety.

Chen Jiao'er's condition was only for the Shi family, and after Shi Shaoliang got married, her condition gradually improved.It's just that she wears a veil when she goes in and out. Except for those who are very close, outsiders only think that she has a scar on her face and it is difficult to see others.

The so-called outing in Beijing refers to a natural pasture in the west of the suburbs. When the weather is good, some people take kites and come here to have dinner and have fun.

Chen Jiao'er got out of the car, stepped on the soft green grass, breathed in the fresh air, and looked up at the boundless sky.If it wasn't for the company of enemies, it would have been a beautiful day.

Sure enough, after Chen Jiao'er dropped the bait, Lin Zhicong became bewildered and brought the topic up several times.Chen Jiao'er also pretended to be ignorant, and told her everything about her acquaintance with Ming Qiniang.

"It turns out that you and the nobleman met in Mrs. Liu's house. At that time, except for you and the fourth lady of the Chen family, everyone else entered the palace. I heard that Tang Meiren is very favored, why don't you associate with her?"

Chen Jiao'er sneered secretly, but pretended to complain in her mouth, "Mingmei's status is low. At that time, I was the only one who made friends with her, so naturally she still thought of me. Besides, she was just a concubine of the Ming family, and she didn't dare to entrust her family. The only one I trust is my own younger brother, but he is too young. Tang Meiren and Wei Meiren are the first daughters of the family. At that time, they were not close to me, only the third sister and the fourth sister. They are superior and look down on people very much. Will remember who I am."

After saying this, Lin Zhicong believed it even more.It's just that I look down on the Chen family very much in my heart, thinking that such a stunning beauty was sent to the palace without knowing it, and it's right that the third lady only conferred a beauty.
