Fair Lady

Jin Xida had applied to the emperor half a month ago, that this year's New Year's Eve palace banquet would not be attended by the House of the Two Marquises.Firstly, the family has been separated for two or three years, and this year is the first member year; secondly, the daughter-in-law Nan Gongmiao is pregnant and is still in the first three months, so it is not suitable for the crowded and lively New Year's Eve palace banquet. .

The emperor thought about it for a moment, and agreed: "Well, you don't have to enter the palace for the New Year's Eve banquet. The third day of junior high school is the queen mother's birthday, and your whole family will bring Xiaoguai and Huohuo into the palace."

In recent years, the Empress Dowager has taken the lead in reducing the expenditure of the harem to increase the supply of food and grass and cold-proof quilts for the soldiers on the frontier. The birthday banquet is very simple, and there are not many people participating. Anyway, the jubilant and lively New Year's Eve palace banquet is just a few days before the birthday banquet. We've met and met.

The emperor is filial, but he also knows that the queen mother is doing it for him and for Da Zhou, so he has no choice but to follow the queen mother's wishes and plan to wait until the queen mother's [-]th birthday to have more fun.

After Jin Xida left, Father-in-law Dafu sighed: "At this time of the year, how many people are worried that they will not receive the post of the palace banquet, and this is the first time they have seen someone ask not to participate. The two Marquis Wen Yuan and Yong Ping Grandpa’s thinking is really different.”

The emperor said meaningfully: "Some people have small hearts and don't want many things, so they don't have a lot of hesitation; some people have big hearts and want everything, so they have to worry a lot."

Da Fuzi was stunned for a moment, not wanting to understand what the emperor meant, did the two Marquises have a small heart, or a big heart?However, there is destined to be an extra topic of gossip in the capital on New Year's Eve. I am afraid that many people will be too excited to sleep because.The Two Marquis Mansion finally "fell out of favor".

But, in the third year of junior high school... hehe, Da Fuzi became happy just thinking about it, the emperor really likes to watch the excitement the most... Those who celebrate the new year are not going to let the staff of the various government rest.

The old year is over tonight, and the new year will come tomorrow.In this day of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, the family gathers together, toasts and congratulates each other, and then imagines that there will be an extra fat baby at this time next year.So happy and comfortable!This kind of warmth and happiness is not something that can be felt in the palace banquet that is lively but looks like a big show.

Shuwen's only regret is: "I have never seen the fireworks in the palace." I entered the palace for the first year, but I missed the fireworks when I sent health pills to the emperor; ; This year is the first reunion year for their family, so naturally they don't want to go to the palace to sing a big show with so many people, just to watch a firework, it's not worth it.

Book writing is better than anyone else.Uncle Kui, the housekeeper, said that their second master would never do business at a loss.

Jin Xida laughed loudly: "There are many opportunities to watch fireworks. Every year, you can see them at the palace banquet on New Year's Eve, or when foreign countries come to pay homage, or celebrate some important events in the palace, such as the Empress Dowager's [-]th birthday. "

Fanbang came to worship?Shuyao suddenly remembered that when she escaped from the sedan chair in her previous life, it happened to be some kind of foreign prince or princess who came all the way to the capital.The street is very lively, otherwise she might not be able to leave Beijing so easily.Do the math.That is, in May of this year, not long after her birthday.

However, she seemed to have heard people talking about it on the way to escape. Those people from Fanbang were quite rampant. They said they came to worship, but they seemed to be provocative.

Suddenly, a string of firecrackers brought back Shuyao's thoughts.He couldn't help laughing at himself, how could a girl like her worry about court affairs?but.The adoptive father and elder brother will inevitably be busy and exhausted.

"Let's go, brother Tianen, let's set off firecrackers too," Shuwen dragged Zhao Tianen to the yard.

Shujie hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, Wen'er, you have to set off firecrackers and go by yourself. Tianen, how are you thinking about your marriage? It just so happens that everyone has time today. If you decide, next time you will send soybeans When the carriage of flour and flour went to Yulin, let them bring a letter to grandma and second uncle.

The parents have made a decision in advance, and it doesn't matter if the marriage can be delayed a little bit.You can still follow Shopkeeper Du to Kuncheng to open a new store. Anyway, Qiutao is only under 16 years old. As long as the marriage is settled, Uncle Li and Aunt Li are not in a hurry.You can return to Beijing in a year or two at most, and then return to Yulin to get married and bring Qiutao to the capital. "

As soon as Shuwen heard that it was Tianen's marriage, he immediately became interested in gossip, and didn't want to set off firecrackers: "Sister Qiutao, um, she must be much better than your beautiful cousin. But Uncle Erbao can say Yes, your cousin Meixian is a beauty, prettier than her aunt."

When Shuwen thought of Cheng's contrived appearance, his hairs stood on end. I really didn't think she was beautiful, did he?Looking at Cheng's virtue, her niece from her natal family is definitely not a good woman.The name is vulgar, and it is also "beautiful".

Shujie gave Shuwen a funny look, "You're a little devil, what do you know? Eat your melon seeds."

Shuwen likes to eat melon seeds, but he is impatient to eat melon seeds. Since childhood, Shujie has always helped him peel melon seeds, and he still does these things habitually.No, it's rare to have free time to chat, so I'll start right away.

Shuwen stuck out his tongue, and began to attack the small pile of melon seeds in front of him.Shujie smiled at Tianen: "Of course, if you really like Aunt Cheng's niece, we won't interfere, just tell grandma what you want."

However, if Tianen really marries Cheng Meixian, Shujie is not going to let him continue to work in Xia's shop, so as to avoid trouble in the future.

Not long after Shuyao and the others returned to the capital, they heard that Cheng's niece had come to join her from Haicheng.I don't know how the Cheng family moved Zhao Erbao. Zhao Erbao actually asked someone to bring a message asking Tianen to go back to Yulin, marry Cheng Meixian and come to the capital together.Fortunately, Zhao He got the news in time, and immediately sent a message, saying that Tianen's marriage was decided by Zhao He, Zhao Erbao and Cheng could not interfere, and the contract back then was written in black and white.

Zhao He asked Shujie and Nangongmiao to help Tian En Zhang Luo a marriage, as long as the girl is virtuous, even if she was originally a slave, it doesn't matter as long as she can redeem herself.

Ever since the incident of the "wife and cousin" back then, Zhao He felt ashamed, and rarely took the initiative to interact with the three Shujie brothers and sisters, and Zhao Dabao and Zhang would come forward for everything.But Zhao Heshi still believed that with Shujie's disposition, he would sincerely help Tianen.

It was also a coincidence that Aunt Li, an old neighbor on Xitang Street, fell in love with the simple and hard-working Tianen, and it happened that Aunt Mei asked about it, and Aunt Mei hurriedly told Nangongmiao about it.Qiu Tao was raised by Aunt Mei, and she is also a neighbor of the three Shujie brothers and sisters since they were young. Although she is only handsome in appearance, she is hardworking and simple, and has a hearty and generous personality. She is really a rare candidate.

After Shujie mentioned this to Tianen, Tianen just blushed and lowered his head. Knowing that he was shy, Shujie didn't urge him, and asked him to think about it for two days before giving an answer.

At this moment, the family happened to be watching the new year, and they had a rare time to chat, so naturally they caught Tianen and asked for an answer.

Tianen's face was already red, but when he heard Shuwen's teasing, his face became even redder. He was about to open his mouth to defend himself, but when he heard Shujie's words, he was taken aback, and couldn't care less about being shy, so he quickly replied: " No, no, I don't like cousin Meixian, sister Qiutao is very good, really good."

Tianen had met Qiutao two or three times in Yulin's Yongping Hou Mansion, and he liked her very much, but he didn't dare to think about it.Moreover, he devoted himself to learning how to manage the store, hoping that he could improve his skills so as not to embarrass Shujie, but he didn't have time to think about those fancy things.

Hearing Tian En stumbled out his thoughts, Mrs. Jin laughed loudly: "You child, getting married and having children is a major event in life, and it doesn't affect your work in the shop, so why has it become a 'love affair'? "

Suddenly, Mrs. Jin's eyes dimmed. Yes, life is a major event. If she hadn't plotted against her son and hurt him, now...

I don't know who this son looks like, so infatuated?His goddam old man, uh, that person is also infatuated, but only infatuated with concubines.

How could Jin Xida not feel his mother's emotional changes?Secretly sighed, he was unfilial.Although the mother hasn't mentioned the matter of letting him get married and have children in the past few years, which mother doesn't want to see her son get married or hug her grandson?It is a kind of blood inheritance.

Before he ignored his mother's complaints and demands, most of it was because his mother just wanted to use him and didn't really think about him.But now the mother has changed, and she doesn't mention that matter at all, but instead makes him, a son, feel distressed and guilty.There are three types of unfilial piety, the greatest of which is having no descendants.

He "chat" with Donnie Yen and Xia Linxuan almost every night, and his heart became more and more relaxed.Maybe this is the fate destined by the heavens. His Rou'er has nothing to do with him in this life, so he can only hide it deep in his heart. There is a destiny in the next life.

So, he didn't reject marriage, but he didn't know if he had exhausted his feelings. Facing other women, he really didn't have the feeling that he wanted to be with Zhen Zirou for a lifetime.The emperor even asked him to find some women who looked very similar to Zhen Zirou. He looked at the portraits but he didn't even see any of them.

He is very clear that what he likes is Rou'er, not his appearance. Otherwise, when he sees Mo Niang who is most similar to Rou'er, he will not be shocked, but only have doubts about "whether it is a meticulous work" (of course , now I know she is Rouer's real sister).

Jin Xida didn't want to find a substitute for Zhen Zirou, that would tarnish his feelings and be unfair to that woman.

Jin Xida secretly smiled wryly, as the emperor said, he is a person with eccentric thinking.However, do you really want to marry a woman and have children for "filial piety"?He also thought of the way the emperor looked at him like a madman at that time: "How many people have never seen the woman they are going to marry before they get married, okay? The two are in love? You are like Zhen Shi, in real terms it is Privately accepted."

Jin Xida struggled alone, but Tian En quickly expressed his attitude.He was worried that he would not be able to go to Kuncheng to open a shop with him if he became a relative, but now Shujie's words have dispelled his worries. He already likes a girl with a temperament like Qiutao, so he shouldn't hurry up. Calculated, there is no place to cry. (To be continued.
