Chapter 146 Mutation
The illness is cured, and we have met each other, and Zhuhua has resumed working mode.Cheng Dashan was sealed as a Marquis, and he also had a corresponding fiefdom under his name.Yang Chengjian assigned the county where his hometown was located to him as a fief. Although the place is not big and the annual output is not too high, the Cheng family is still very grateful.Cheng Dashan couldn't wait to go back to the countryside to show off, but unfortunately his family still had a gloomy face when facing him, which made him afraid to be too happy.

Zhuhua didn't get involved with the affairs of the Hou's mansion, and she was about to get married, so it was better not to touch her from the beginning and let Sun get familiar with it gradually.Mrs. Sun used to know how to housekeeper, but she had her daughters to help her divide the complicated affairs these years.Her energy is mainly on the village village.Zhuhua made a rough estimate. The output of the farm and orchard in these years alone is not a small amount.After all, the Cheng family has been in the capital for more than ten years, and the properties outside are now managed by trustworthy people, so the Sun family didn't have to worry too much.After Changzi was born, she was happy to teach the children at home and live a leisurely life.Now that she has to take on the complicated affairs of the Hou Mansion, she is not used to it.

Zhuhua thought about handing over these matters to Changzi's future daughter-in-law. It would take another ten years or not, and it was not certain whether the girl would be capable by then, and Mrs. Sun had to take charge of this job.Zhuhua, who was free, handed over the work in the shop and embroidered the wedding dress at the same time.

The wedding dress was given to her by Yinhua, and she still wears it too big now.After a year, she estimated that she would not be able to increase the height too much, so she decided to make the wedding dress smaller, and sewed pearls on the dress.The wedding gown left by Yinhua is not expensive enough for the royal wedding, so Zhuhua can only add some precious things to it.But generally speaking, it is easier than re-embroidering a wedding dress, and if she is diligent, she can finish it in a day.But she is not a diligent person. After embroidering a few stitches every day, she throws it away to do other things, and sometimes goes out to the Wuying Gong's Mansion.

She is engaged to King Heping, and in terms of seniority, she can call Mrs. Wu Ying a cousin.Wu Guogong even teased her about this matter, but Zhuhua was not afraid to call out shyly at all, and said: "Why do you think my cousin calls you old?"

"Okay, I've never seen such a thick-skinned person." Wu Guogong smiled, "Why don't you go to accompany your Qilang, and run to me?"

"I haven't been here for a long time, I miss you." Zhuhua said sincerely.

"What do you want me to do? I'm not a handsome young man." Wu Yugong said but looked at Zhuhua, seeing that she was not reluctant, she let go.

"The most handsome boy in Chang'an City is not as important as a heroine in a little girl's heart."

"This little mouth is sweet." Wu Yinggong smiled again.

Now if we say that the most handsome young man in Chang'an City, it is Young Master Qingzhu.Now he often goes in and out of Duke Wu's mansion, and it is rumored that he has become the guest of Duke Wu, even for Bai Yizhi, they have the same guess.But Wu Guogong didn't care, and still often drank with the two of them.The men in her house often change, she is already tired of hearing what other people say, but Zhuhua is the only woman who comes.

"If King Ping bullies you in the future, you can come and tell me, and I will vent your anger for you?"

Zhuhua smiled and said: "I don't want it anymore. I have been in and out of the Gonggong Mansion for so many years, if I can't even teach a man a lesson, wouldn't it be embarrassing for you?"

"Then what are you going to teach?"

"Either come from Wen, or come from Wu." Zhuhua said seriously.

"I won't listen to Wu's, how about you talk about the text?"

"I was the one who wrote the letter, so I went to Daqing Mansion to set up a Zhuangzi, raised a few handsome young children in the Zhuangzi, and lived there ever since."

Zhuhua also mentioned this for no reason.A few years ago in Chang'an City, there was a great lady who was divorced from her husband. Because she was unwilling to let her husband accept many beautiful concubines, she privately built a Zhuangzi and raised a handsome young man there.Later, it was because of the dark knot of the bead tire that this matter broke out.Although she was abandoned because of this, she did not return to her natal family, but continued to live a comfortable life in that manor.I heard that there was an idler who came to make fun of her, but she personally beat him out. Since she was a child, no one dared to bully her.After Zhuhua heard about it, she was surprised for a while, and later learned that although she came from a famous family, she was abducted by a nun since she was a child. After returning, she learned martial arts, but she was not close to her family. Shengen, she would not accept this marriage at the beginning.

"If you really want to, just go. If someone blocks you, I will block it for you. It's just a young man from your village. I have to see you first." Wu Guogong joked.

"Let's make an agreement, see you later, but you are not allowed to detain people. It is not easy for me to pick a good-looking young man from a small family."

"Look at you being stingy." Wu Guogong looked at her with hatred, obviously earning a lot, so she couldn't change her poor temper.

"I'm not stingy, I'm calculating carefully." Zhuhua said proudly, and then pretended to be calculating, "If the person I bought has to be picked by others, I might as well make a Zhuangzi and let them entertain female guests Woolen cloth."

"What are you thinking?"

"Business. There is no more lucrative business than this one. Look at how those men spend their money in the party. If I have such a Zhuangzi, I will tell their wives that he sprinkles you as well. Don't be polite. Sprinkle, don’t steam the steamed buns to fight for your breath, you can make more money if you lose money, and you will be trampled to the bottom if you lose face.”

"Not to mention, if there is such a place, some people will spend money. Why, do you want to do this business?"

"Cousin, think about it for your nephew, can he let his future wife do this business? It's enough that his house is haunted. Do you want him to have green hair?"

It wasn't once or twice that he had green hair on his head, Wu Xiangxiang said in her heart, but smiled at Zhuhua, "It's okay, he won't care. Besides, isn't there me? I can let Yinxi handle this matter." You can do it, you just need to discuss with her and come up with an idea, half of the money you make will be counted."

"No, no, the heroine has treated me so well these years, I can no longer take advantage of you."

"What do you mean by taking advantage? This is for you to add makeup! You don't want the makeup I gave?"

"Then I want it." Zhuhua replied honestly, but she thought in her heart, is it appropriate for this cousin to show her niece and daughter-in-law to add makeup to her cousin?Thinking of this, she felt a little embarrassed towards King Ping, and couldn't help thinking of King Ji.

Ji Wang and Ji Wangfei asked her to visit the garden with Prince Heping. She guessed that they wanted her to get along with King Heping more, and reminded her to ask Mr. Wu Guogong for wine.Wu Guogong has always been generous to Zhuhua, and when she heard Zhuhua ask for wine for King Ji, she immediately gave her five jars.

"Tell Xiao Liu that if he wants to come in the future, he can come, but he can't take it away if he wants to."

"Is this okay?" Zhuhua asked, she knew that Wu Yinggong didn't get close to any prince to avoid suspicion, why didn't she avoid it all of a sudden?
Wu Guogong gave her a meaningful look, then said with a light smile, "Of course it's possible."

Is this what's going on in Chang'an City?Zhuhua thought to herself, turning around she thought carefully about the current situation of the princes in the capital.

The First Prince, also known as His Highness the Crown Prince, has been very low-key since the imperial examination fraud case. He always takes the emperor's opinion as the basis for all important matters in the court, and has never refuted in the slightest.The emperor occasionally reprimanded him, but he was generally satisfied.The crown prince now has two sons and two daughters. The eldest grandson is the son of the crown prince. I heard that he is a little naughty. The other son and daughter are the sons of a side concubine whom the crown prince loves very much. The crown prince also values ​​this son even more. The prince's concubine on the other side didn't have anything, but a Liang Di gave birth to a daughter.Uncle Zhang Guo, as the uncle of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, has always supported him. Everyone said that with Uncle Zhang around, the Crown Prince's succession to the throne would not change.

The second prince, that is, King Huo, did not like the emperor for some reason in the past few years. Zhuhua heard the rumors that it was because King Huo fought with King Ji.However, in the past few years, the emperor has used King Huo to do a few errands. Although he was not indifferent to him, there were quite a few people in the court who showed goodwill to him.His natal family, namely the Shen family, is planning for him everywhere.Now he has only one son under his knees, which was born by the princess, Zhuhua guessed that this princess must be some kind of fuel-efficient lamp, so that other women of King Huo can't bear children until now.I heard that there was a concubine Ji who was pregnant before, and then she died twice. I don't know if it is the work of Princess Huo.

The third prince died at an early age, but was born of the late empress.The fourth prince is weak and sick, and has no children under his knees so far.These two have nothing to do with the throne.

The fifth prince is the most prolific among the princes. He has three sons and five daughters. Among them, the eldest daughter was born to a concubine Ji, and the princess gave birth to a son and a daughter.He is now transferred from the Ministry of Rites to the Ministry of Households, looking at the Holy Majesty, he seems to value him a little bit.

The sixth prince, also known as King Ji, has been working in the Ministry of Officials. Now he has a daughter. Concubine Ji is pregnant again. Many people in Chang'an City are wondering if there will be another daughter.Some people are also guessing, if Princess Ji gives birth to a daughter, should King Ji accept a side concubine?Zhuhua couldn't tell that Prince Ji, who looked a little out of tune, was the quietest in the mansion, and hoped that King Ping, who grew up with him, would be the same in the future.

Prince Ping, who has never been valued by the emperor, is unlikely to suddenly rise to the throne; but the eighth prince, who is the younger brother of the second prince, has heard that he is often praised by the emperor, so it is somewhat possible.But if the Eighth Prince went up, how could his own brother be convinced?

The Ninth Prince is only nine years old, born of a beautiful woman, one year younger than Chang Zi, and it has never been heard that the Holy Majesty favors him in particular.But this beauty is now pregnant again, everyone said that this beauty will be promoted to concubine, and one of the four concubines will be named queen.The throne has been vacant for many years, so it is right for the emperor to confer the concubine, but the four concubines have sons under their knees. If they are conferred the title of empress, the position of the crown prince will be even more difficult, and the crown prince is not willing to do so.

Could it be that Wu Yinggong's reminder today has something to do with the latter?Zhuhua thought to herself, but she clearly remembered that Emperor Kang Taizong in history had no successor until his death, but after his son succeeded to the throne, his biological mother later named him queen mother.Therefore, this Concubine Kang, who died before the establishment of the Kang Dynasty, was called a generation of virtuous queens even though she did not become a queen for a day. Others could only piece together the image of a gentle and virtuous queen from Yang Chengjian's occasional words.On the contrary, the empress seemed to have a good relationship with Wu Yinggong during her lifetime, otherwise there would be no fanfare between Wu Yinggong and the former queen, but Zhuhua never heard Wu Yinggong mention the queen again.Do you want to ask her next time?
After thinking about it for a long time, she still didn't want to ask Wu Yinggong this. It's like asking if the scandal between your idol and so-and-so is true in modern times. It's too silly.She doesn't do such flirtatious things, in fact, what kind of wind blows from above has any effect on her, as long as she keeps her heart and doesn't get involved, she won't get into trouble for no reason.Besides, now she can be regarded as the person protected by Mrs. Wu, and she is more prestigious than Yang Chengjian for several years.

Thinking about it this way, she put it aside in advance and just kept it in mind.What she should be concerned about right now is probably the matter of going to Prince Ji's mansion. I heard that Princess Ji is not easy to get along with, and now that she is pregnant and has a bad temper, can the two of them get along well?
When the appointed day came, Zhuhua changed into a more elegant dress this time.There is no way, at least to save some face for King Ping in front of his brothers.Sun was relieved to see that Zhuhua didn't wear strange clothes anymore, but he was very dissatisfied. It's a pity that he had to obediently go to school when the time came. Zhuhua randomly checked his homework yesterday and found that he had made little progress these days. No.She knows that reading is a talent, but ordinary people can still achieve it with a little hard work. This has nothing to do with talent, but with whether they put their heart into it.Changzi is smart, but unfortunately he just can't sit still, even if Dabao and Erbao are watching, it's useless, and it's easy to lead the two of them astray.

Fortunately, he also knew that Mrs. Sun was angry a few days ago, so he couldn't be bothered these days, so he could only go to school obediently, but he kept telling Zhuhua to let her go home early.He is so embarrassing now, he knew that at that time he should not have sympathized with King Ping who was seriously ill, and did not mention the matter of letting him withdraw the engagement.Now it's all right, the two have also met, and it seems that he is still entangled with his third sister.From Changzi's point of view, if Zhuhua goes on a blind date, nothing will be impossible.Who is Zhuhua, the one who manages him submissively, the one who makes him happy and obedient, is there any man who can't fall in love with her?

Besides, his older sister is so capable and has her own shop—although he only knows pastry shops and later doll shops. someone else's home.It's not that some people say that the fat and water don't flow to outsiders' fields, so why can't my sister stay at home all the time and not marry into someone else's house?
Zhuhua didn't know that she was so good in Changzi's heart, if she knew, she would definitely coax him to write more articles.

She arrived at Prince Ji's mansion in a carriage. She had visited this place before when she and Dabao and Erbao came to explore. She really never imagined that one day she would come here again as the future Princess Ping.
