Jingmen Fengyue

Chapter 57
"It would be nice to have an uncle from Mobei, thank you for me." Qin Zheng entered the room and said bluntly.

Shi Shu nodded, "There are all kinds of fur, such as white fox, fire fox, ermine, sable, snow leopard, and the fur of a kind of cold sheep that is unique to Mobei. There are several pieces of each. The total is 50 yuan."

Qin Zheng nodded and curled the corners of his mouth, "My family will be able to listen to music in the next few years."

Xie Fanghua moved away from the door, and the iron pot of water on the stove boiled, she walked over to take it down, and put the hot water into the thermos pot.

The servant didn't dare to look at Xie Fanghua anymore, seeing the people who followed him let go of their fur, and bid farewell to Qin Zheng.

Qin Zheng took an exquisite little Jade Buddha placed on the cabinet and handed it to him, "This is consecrated by the abbot of the Fafo Temple, take it back for your heir!"

"The villain will replace my family's eldest son, Mr. Xie Zheng." The servant quickly and carefully picked it up.The abbot of the Fafo Temple has profound Buddhist teachings. Although he practiced in the Fafo Temple dozens of miles away from the capital, it is difficult to get objects consecrated by him.The old Hou Ye of his family would rather believe in the ancestral hall of his ancestors than Buddhism, so the eldest son of his family would naturally not go to the temple to pray.It is said that even if a noble person asks for it, he must pay attention to the Buddha's relationship, and it is not easy to get it.Now that Second Young Master Zheng has given such one, it is of course very good to keep the son safe.Even if Old Hou Ye was not happy to see him, he would not say anything.

"Let's play with this for you!" Qin Zheng casually took out a small jade fan and handed it to Shi Shu.

The waiter hesitated for a moment, then respectfully accepted it.The Second Young Master Zheng has always acted according to his preferences. When he is happy, he rewards people generously, but when he is unhappy, he wants to kill people.Now that he was given these two things, he was obviously happy, probably because he didn't see the note he quietly handed to the lady, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and left with a smile.

Qin Zheng waved his hand and let him go.

Xishun lamented that the eldest son of the Zhongyonghou Mansion was generous. The 50 yuan high-quality fur was worth 10 taels anyway, so he lightly made a bet on the second son, and the second son was unambiguous, and took the Fafo Temple as the host. The consecrated Jade Buddha returned the gift.Although the Jade Buddha itself is not worth too much money, the Jade Buddha presided over by Fafo Temple is different.Now the abbot has washed his hands and concentrated on worshiping the Buddha, and no longer has to worry about mundane affairs. This Jade Buddha is even harder to find.There is no price in the market.

"It seems that I'm late." Li Muqing's voice came from outside the courtyard along with the sound of footsteps.

Qin Zheng turned his head and looked out.

Xie Fanghua also looked out the window, only to see Li Muqing walking in front and three people following behind.Two people hugged a package, and one person hugged a tray.The package was very big, and the two servants struggled to carry it. The tray was not too small, full of things, and covered with brocade silk.

Before Xishun left, his eyes couldn't help but widen again.

"It's not too late, are you so free? Did you come here in person?" Qin Zheng raised his eyebrows.

Li Muqing picked up the curtain and entered the room, and said gently, "There is nothing left and right today, why don't you just come over here." After speaking, seeing almost half of the room's stuff piled up in the room, he couldn't help laughing, "We can't compare with Brother Zigui , Mobei is close to the snow-capped mountains, so it is natural to produce more fur." ​​After a pause, he continued, "There are so many furs, even ten cloaks are enough. How can I wear them all?"

"General Wuwei has only one younger sister. The younger sister died early. It is right to take care of my nephew and niece." Qin Zheng said, "I can't wear it in one year and wear it in two years, and wear it slowly if I can't finish it in two years."

Li Muqing's eyes flickered, she glanced at Xie Fanghua, and said, "I only brought six pieces of leather, but when my mother came back to the house, after knowing about the bet, I picked out two sets of hair masks in the storeroom of the house." Jewelry, I said to give it to your listening girl. In addition, I brought a rare book of anecdotes from her collection, saying that I would chat with them in my spare time to relieve boredom, so I brought them along."

Qin Zheng looked at him, "Your mother has returned to the mansion? So soon? Can you ask about Zuo Xiang's mansion?"

Li Muqing smiled, "Naturally."

Qin Zheng raised his eyelids, "What do you say?"

"Don't you still have confidence in yourself?" Li Muqing looked at him, saw him twitching his mouth in disdain, sat down, and said slowly, "My mother said that not long after they arrived at Zuoxiang's mansion, the empress sent People issued a decree to bestow a marriage. It saves the matter of matchmaking."

Qin Zheng poured him a cup of tea with his own hands, waiting for him to continue.

Li Muqing took a sip of tea and smiled slightly, "Since the empress has issued the imperial decree first, even if your elder brother ran into the palace to meet the emperor, the emperor got the news too late, so he can't issue another decree to dismiss the empress' imperial edict. She was deposed and went to Mobei. Now if the emperor makes a decree to refute her Yizhi and spread it, it will be a disharmony between the emperor and the empress, which is not good for the court and the palace. The emperor still has a very strong affection for the queen, even if the two palaces in the palace The beloved concubine has shared half of the love, but she is still the queen. As long as the emperor doesn't want to abolish the empress, he will naturally not do that, so he can only refute your elder brother's request."

"What is he begging for? It's not about meeting the emperor and asking him not to marry the lady from Zuo Xiang's mansion." Qin Zheng asked.

"Of course not, he's not stupid. Even if he was born in Prince Ying's mansion, he is still the eldest son of a concubine. Wouldn't it be embarrassing for a concubine to go to Yuqian to insist that he doesn't want to marry a concubine from Zuoxiang's mansion? Even if Zuoxiang is not happy Marrying his daughter to him will not make you feel annoyed." Li Muqing said as usual, "He is going to marry the young lady of the Zhongyonghou residence, and ask the emperor to marry him."

Qin Zheng's eyes suddenly turned cold, "There is only one lady in the Zhongyonghou's residence, who does he want to marry?"

Li Muqing glanced at him, "Since there is only one young lady in the Zhongyonghou Mansion, that is the one he wants to marry. Although the Xie family is a big family, the only family that can be called the Zhongyonghou Mansion is just one family. The mansion of the relatives of the Pangzhi family is generally called the Xie Mansion. It is not Miss Xie he is asking to marry, but the lady of the Zhongyonghou Mansion."

Everyone knows that there are many young ladies in the Xie residence, but there is only one young lady in the Zhongyonghou residence.

Qin Zheng's voice was deep and dark, and he said coldly, "He is worthy of a bastard! I don't know how much I am."

Li Muqing looked at his expression and analyzed gently, "Although his status as a concubine is not worthy of the lady of Zhongyonghou's mansion, the lady of Zhongyonghou's mansion has been sick all year round, often sick and troubled. For many years, she never went out. She doesn't even step out of her boudoir courtyard, and only goes to greet Zhongyong Hou once a month. Every time she greets Hou, she has to wear a thick veil for fear of getting wind. The courtyard is filled with the smell of medicine every day, let alone No one in Beijing has seen her, even the people in Zhongyonghou's mansion have seen her face. Many people have even forgotten that there is a young lady in Zhongyonghou's mansion. Now she is old enough, but no one comes to her door Marriage proposal. Tell me, such a loyal and brave young lady of the Marquis, who is so weak, is now asked to marry, even if her status is inferior, how can she not be worthy? Although he is a bastard, but now he is also an official in the court. With the support of Prince Ying, even if Asking the emperor to give him a marriage is a bit of an overreach, but it's not considered extravagant. If the empress hadn't sent someone to the Zuo Xiang's mansion to issue a decree and give him a marriage, it might have come true."
