"Pa-ta", Li Tongfu shook his hand, and the whisk fell to the ground.

Xie Zuiqiao leaned over to pick it up for him, and brought it to him with a smile.

Li Tongfu came back to his senses, took it back in a bit of embarrassment, and reluctantly explained: "Pindao just happened to pass by and was about to leave, but happened to bump into Mr. Xie."

Xie Zuiqiao snorted, nodded and said: "Lord Pei and the emperor are talking inside, it's better to avoid it. If the priest is really free, why don't you talk to me about the way of keeping in good health?" After talking, he turned and went outside.

Li Tongfu had no choice but to follow him, and said: "Taoist health-preserving food expansion, alchemy, occasional scenes..." Suddenly it occurred to him that he was newly married, and he was just greedy for men and women.After a few days' trip to Tenz, the crown prince is only the commander-in-chief in name, but he is a close minister of the emperor. Why don't you try to get closer by taking advantage of this situation, it will always be beneficial to yourself.After making up his mind, he went to the corridor outside the hall, saw Mr. Feng leading several young eunuchs standing on the other side, so he pulled off Xie Zuiqiao's sleeve.When he looked over, he lowered his voice and said with a grin: "When it comes to health preservation, I have some experience in the art of being poor in the occasional scene, and they are all recorded in a booklet. Mr. Xie was young, and he studied refining medicine and turning it into essence. The method of dual cultivation is also of great benefit to health preservation. Please wait a moment, Mr. Xie, I will ask someone to take it if I am poor."

Xie Zuiqiao was just talking casually, but Li Tongfu got involved in this and waved his hand.At this time, Eunuch Feng came over.Li Tongfu coughed, shook his whisk, and stood solemnly with his eyes closed.

"This is a big matter, let me think about it."

In the side hall, Zhengde frowned.

Pei Taizhi approached him, knelt down on one knee and said, "Even if your Majesty cancels the trip to Tenz this time, since the wolf's ambition has risen, there is no guarantee that he will not do such an act against the sky next time. Your Majesty is in the open, and the traitor is in the dark." , It is impossible to guard against, and there will be endless troubles."

Zhengde was obviously a little moved by persuasion, but his face still showed some hesitation, hesitatingly said: "I treat the Yan family well, and Jun'er has been carefully cultivated since childhood. How could he really disregard family affection and make such a decisive decision?" Lift?"

In fact, he knows the ruthlessness of the Tian family better than anyone else, but he just doesn't want to admit it.

"From my point of view, this is a god-given opportunity to test people's hearts. Whether or not you refuse, your majesty will know after a try."

Zhengde closed his eyes, pondered again and again, the nature of the emperor's position not to be coveted by others finally overwhelmed everything else.

Pei Taizhi kept staring at the slightly swollen, old face opposite him.Seeing his eyelids twitch a few times, and finally opened slowly, his slightly cloudy eyes suddenly lit up, and his heart finally relaxed.

In a twinkling of an eye, it was the sixth day of the lunar new year, and the front door of General Zhaowu's mansion was covered with red and colorful decorations. It was the day when Chunyuan got married.

When Liu Shenghe and his wife let their son go north, they had entrusted the Gao family in Yu County to build a courtyard in Beijing, which was not far from the Gao family's house.The land in the middle of Beijing is expensive. Although the place is not big, there are two entrances, and all kinds of objects are available.Now that it's coming in handy, even Mrs. Gu has personally rushed over to help with the new house.At this moment, a bunch of people are still surrounding Chun Yuan's room, laughing and laughing non-stop.Among the senders, apart from the original Ruan family's mother Zhou and others, there was also Du Ruoqiu who brought a pair of children.

Since she married Gu Xuan a few years ago and accompanied him to the north with Pei Taizhi, she has not lived in Beijing, but has been staying in Yingquan, a hundred miles away from Beijing, where there is an armory.Some time ago, I heard the news that Ming Yu had married into General Zhaowu's mansion, so I came here with Gu Xuan to pay a visit.Knowing that today is Chunyuan's big day, she naturally brings her children to join in the fun.Seeing that the pair of dolls, Yuxue, were cute, everyone surrounded them and kept teasing. Mingyu also rewarded each with a purse with a little golden bag wrapped in it.Just laughing and laughing, seeing Xiangqiao running over and panting: "The wedding sedan chair is here! Urge the bride to get on the sedan chair!" So teasing and teasing, urging and urging, there was a lot of noise.

Chunyuan is wearing a scarlet wedding dress woven with eight treasures today, her eyes are picturesque.Hearing Xiangqiao said that she was urged to get into the sedan chair, she sat there with her head bowed shyly and refused to get up, but was pulled up by Zhou's mother, and then she went to Mingyu to say goodbye in front of Mingyu with a blushing face.

Chunyuan, who had been with her for many years, finally got to marry her beloved as she had wished in the past. Mingyu covered her head with her own hands, and watched her being escorted out by Xi Niang, her heart was full of joy.

After the hustle and bustle of the day, the General's Mansion was quiet at night.Because tomorrow is the day when the emperor will travel by imperial chariot, everything needs to be arranged, so Xie Zuiqiao didn't come back during dinner.Mingyu and Xie Jingzhu had dinner together, sat down in her room, turned on the lights, and the sister-in-law and sister-in-law sat facing each other, embroidering a colorful silk tapestry picture of nine suns to dissipate the cold that was used to hang in the front hall during the winter solstice.Xie Zuiqiao was always thinking about him in his heart, when the broken thread was threaded through the needle, it failed to get through the needle hole several times in a row.

Xie Jingzhu saw it and knew that she must be thinking about her brother.He will be escorted out tomorrow morning, and this trip will take at least a month, tonight is the last night before the two of them parted, it would be nice if they could get together for a while longer.Then he stopped the needle in his hand, and said with a smile: "You can embroider again when you have time during the day, and it will be troublesome even if the lights are on at night. Sister-in-law doesn't need to accompany me, so go back to the room quickly, don't tell my brother to wait until I come back. I found someone, and I found it again."

Ming Yu smiled, inserted the needle into the satin, stood up and said, "Alright. I'll go and look at the luggage packed for your brother. If there is any leakage, it will be inconvenient for him to go out."

Xie Jingzhu's courtyard was only separated from Mingyu's by a wall of clouds. When Xie Zuiqiao returned to his room, there was an extra Mama An.The luggage that had been packed for Xie Zuiqiao was being untied and spread out on the table. Mama An was checking everything, while Nongqin and Wanghua standing next to her opened their mouths, daring to speak out.Hearing the sound of footsteps, he raised his eyes and saw that Ming Yu had returned, his eyes lit up, and he smacked his mouth in the direction of Mama An.

This suit was stored by Ming Yu herself, and it was connected with two sets of underwear she made herself.Knowing that this mother An should be worried, but she was a little unhappy after all.

It has been more than half a month since she walked in the door.Although Mama An felt a little pissed, she didn't dare not hand over the account book she was in charge of.Compared with other large households in Beijing, the General's Mansion has a simple population and fewer things to do. After all, it is only a shelf. There are dozens of people up and down, and there are many miscellaneous things in the daily life.Seeing her young and inexperienced appearance, Mother An had the idea of ​​looking down on her at first, but she didn't say a word after handing over the account book.Mingyu knew that she wanted to see the joke that he was in a hurry when he first took over, but he refused to let her do so, let alone ask her a question, took the account book by himself, sorted it out secretly, and sent someone to ask Lu if he didn't understand. housekeeper.She used to manage the Rongyin Hall with a population of several hundred people, let alone the current General's Mansion?
Mama An waited calmly for a few days, but she never saw Ming Yu coming to ask her questions. After waiting for a few more days, what came to her was that some old rules that she had set in the mansion were quietly changed. , then went to see Ming Yu by himself, and said in a roundabout way that the previous rules cannot be broken, in exchange for Ming Yu saying, "Why didn't Mother An say it earlier? I mentioned it to Zuiqiao, and even he agreed. It's not easy to change it." Come and change. In the future, if Mama An has something to say, she should say it as soon as possible." So it was boring, and she didn't show her face for several days. Even Chun Yuan's happy event today was just a shake and left. I didn't expect At this moment, I came here to dig things up.

Ming Yu suppressed her unhappiness, and when she arrived at the table, she frowned slightly and asked, "What is Mama An doing?"

Seeing that it was Ming Yu who came back, Mama An was a little embarrassed, and quickly said: "Young Madam, don't be surprised. When the young master was at home, every time he went out, the old lady supervised Yuzan to take care of his luggage. That Yuzan is a careful person. Girl, put it away after looking at each piece. This time, the young master will go out for a month, and the old woman is a little worried, so she came over to take a look."

The jade hairpin she was talking about was the elder sister of this silver hairpin, the former big girl beside Xie Zuiqiao, who was given by her deceased mother-in-law, and it was said that it was used as a housekeeper.I don't know why, but a few years ago, she was assigned to a steward in Yongye Tianzhuangzi in the Fuzhong. On the third day of her marriage, Mingyu learned about it from Zhou's mother who kept inquiring about it.Listening to Mama An mentioning the jade hairpin again at this moment, she said: "Mama An, what is there to worry about? Your son is my husband, so I naturally cherish him the most. You have checked it, but you can see what is missing? Or more What? Mom said it was right, I can change it if I can."

Although Mama An was smiling when she saw her talking, her tone was cool.I also knew that my actions were a bit inappropriate, so I took a woven gauze underwear that I had brought, and said awkwardly: "The weather is getting colder, it must be colder at night in the paddock, I will make an underwear for you to take... "

"Our girl has already made two pieces, how can my uncle wear yours?"

Wang Hua is young, a little outspoken.For more than half a month, Mother Zhou and Mother An didn't see eye to eye. She naturally stood by Mother Zhou's side. Just now she saw her come in and open the box to look through it. She said something and was reprimanded by Mother An. When Ming Yu came back, she became more courageous, and immediately spoke up.

An's mother's face turned ugly, and she opened her mouth, looking very angry.

Ming Yu was really annoyed just now.Seeing that she was speechless by Wang Hua at this moment, her heart moved, and suddenly she felt a little understanding of her thoughts, sighed secretly, turned her face to Wang Hua and said: "Mr. After wearing countless clothes made by Mama An, why can't I wear them now? Could it be that I'm so used to you that I speak so inappropriately!"

Wang Hua was scolded, stuck out his tongue, hurriedly lowered his head and put oil on the soles of his feet and slipped out.Ming Yu ignored her, but stepped forward to take the underwear from Mama An's hands, folded it up and put it in the cage, and said with a smile: "Mama An's craftsmanship must be better than mine, so just take it with you. The man's house has no one to help clean it up, so it's always right to have a few more things to change and wash."

Mother An never expected that this young lady would make a face for herself in front of everyone. She was so surprised that she couldn't speak for a while, and just stood there motionless.Seeing Ming Yu thumping his back, as if he was a little tired, he came to his senses and hurriedly said: "Young madam rested earlier, the old lady is leaving now." After saying that, she bowed her head and left in a hurry.

Seeing that she had finally left, Ming Yu sighed, and together with Dan Lan Yuqing, they took back the messed up luggage one by one.

"Girl, do you really bring it to my uncle?"

Dan Lan took the underwear from Mama An's and said with disgust.

Ming Yu took a closer look, and saw that although the style was a little old, the stitching and fabric were all very good, so she nodded and said, "She also put a lot of thought into it, let's put it in."

After everything was put away, Ming Yu waited alone in the room for a while after being served and washed, and Xie Zuiqiao hadn't come back yet, feeling a little bored.Suddenly, I remembered that Li Tongfu in Penglai Palace sent a little Taoist priest to deliver a small box yesterday, saying that Master Xie wanted it.Because these two days were busy with Chunyuan's marriage, she picked it up from the servant and put it away and then forgot about it. At this moment, she suddenly remembered, wondering why Xie Zuiqiao had anything to do with this Taoist?What would Xie Zuiqiao want from him?I was very curious at once, and it was okay to wait around empty-handed, so I took the box out of the cabinet.

The box is wrapped in gilded satin velvet on a black background, which is very delicate.Ming Yu flicked the lock, and saw a booklet with a light blue cover wrapped underneath. The words on the cover were blocked by a smaller square box, but she didn't know what it was.Opening the small square box again, I was a little surprised that there were actually two black pills the size of a thumbnail in it, and there was a pungent smell of medicine, which made me feel a little uncomfortable.

Ming Yu pinched her nose and fanned the air, then hurriedly closed the lid of the small square box, muttering in her heart, why did Xie Zuiqiao ask this bull-nosed thing for something that smokes people to death?I was even more curious about the book that was pressed underneath, and pulled it out. Seeing the four big characters of "Old Scenery Heart Sutra", my face became hot.

Taoists call this technique in the room an occasional scene, and Ming Yu naturally knows it.Thinking about it this way, could it be that those two stinky pills were just for fun?
Thinking that Xie Zuiqiao would ask this bull-nosed man for these things, Ming Yu's heart felt like a deer bumping for a while.Thinking that he is usually like a wolf and a tiger, and he is struggling to deal with it, could it be that he still thinks it is not enough, so he got these things here!

Ming Yu couldn't help scolding him in her heart, flipped through the Heart Sutra, and the more she looked at it, the more her face became warmer and her heart beat.

She had read the brochure from her mother before she got married, and quietly returned it the next day, thinking that it was all over.Unexpectedly, what came out of Li Tongfu's hands was even more unbelievable. Some descriptions were so bold and straightforward that she didn't dare to take a second look. However, the notes did not forget to mention that it was just a way of cultivation, not worldly vulgarity.

Ming Yu turned to the last page, her mouth was dry, suddenly a hand stretched out from behind to wrap her waist, and she heard Xie Zuiqiao laughing in her ear: "Why is my Ayu so engrossed in watching?"
