Chapter 198: Behind Closed Doors
After Wei Guogong left the capital, it was the day when Xue Fangyi married into the East Palace.
Two days earlier, someone from the Weiguo Mansion came to the Chu Palace, and asked Xue Jinyi to go on this day.
The ceremony of canonizing the crown princess had already been held, and Xue Fangyi was nothing more than asking them to kneel down and salute at her feet to satisfy their vanity.
Xue Jinyi didn't go under the pretext of contracting the cold, and was busy in the small kitchen in the main courtyard for another day.
The next day, Xue Jinyi was sitting in the study, buried in a pile of ancient books, just finishing her notes, and planning to discuss it with Dr. Wei, Pu Yangxuan took Xue Huai to play in the palace, and she heard about the wedding.
"The wedding did not invite musicians to blow and beat on the road, and the dowry carried into the East Palace by Xue Fangyi was only sixty-four, which can be described as 'shabby'." Thinking of being oppressed by Sun Suci's mother and daughter over the years, Xue Huai felt happy in his heart, "Our Duchess of Weiguo is holding on to her sick body, and seeing this scene, it is estimated that she will be half angry again." And the smile on Xue Fangyi's face is more ugly than crying. ”
Compared with her wedding with Ah Xuan, how can Xue Fangyi, who has always regarded herself very highly, stand it? What's more, Wei Guogong left Beijing early, in Sun Suci and Xue Fangyi's understanding, it was to embarrass them.
Xue Jinyi asked, "What about the prince?" ”
Xue Huai touched his chin and thought about it carefully, "Actually, I have carefully looked at the prince's face and felt him...... is a little embarrassed, I don't really want to marry Xue Fangyi, I didn't show a smile during the whole process, are I still thinking about my dead friend? When the geese were mourned, they even disliked the goose with bright feathers, and asked the people around them to help throw it, but the bride somehow failed to catch it, so that the geese landed, fluttered their wings, and screamed everywhere, which made several of them look ugly. ”
During the ceremonial ceremony, it is enough to let others throw it away, and it is not a good sign to let the geese fall to the ground and scream.
For the superstitious Sun Suci, there is another layer of fear.
He said regretfully: "Sister Jinyi should really come and take a look, this marriage is so exciting." ”
Xue Jinyi was busy with plans to make money, how could she have the leisure to watch the wedding between the prince and Xue Fangyi, she rubbed Xue Huai's hair, "What is the reaction of the people?" ”
Xue Huai said with a smile: "Originally, because the wedding of my sister and brother-in-law was lively, everyone was very much looking forward to what kind of grand occasion the prince's wedding was, but as a result, how much the lights on Suzaku Street usually turned on, and how much it was yesterday, caused an uproar." On the way here, I heard a lot of people talking about it, and they mentioned the fact that the prince had gone crazy in Pingkangfang before. ”
Xue Jinyi frowned, "Didn't the Cai family make any moves to the outside world?" ”
"Nope." Pu Yangxuan replied, "It seems that I have obediently accepted such an arrangement, but in my opinion, there will be action in these two days." ”
Xue Jinyi nodded approvingly, "What the Cai family wants to do is probably the same as my aunt and grandmother guessed, and I want to cover up my notoriety by doing good." However, doing good deeds is to help the poor and weak from the bottom of our hearts, and it is only such a simple and beautiful purpose. But they first deliberately indulged in the insults and ridicule of outsiders, and then publicized the good deeds they had done at the right time, which made people feel guilty, and praised them more exaggeratedly in order to make up for it, so as to make themselves better, and at the same time, Cai also achieved his goal. The so-called good deeds have changed their taste. ”
She has seen some of this whitewashing method in the entertainment industry.
And with Cai's badness, I am afraid that not much of the charity can really help the poor people, and more of it is a formality and returns to their own hands.
Such behavior is despicable, but ......, "Neither we nor the eldest princess can stop them completely now. However, fortunately, my father knew what to expect, so there was no need to worry about anything. ”
"Hmm." Pu Yangxuan looked at the books on the table and swept through a few invitations.
There are a lot of invitations sent to the palace these days, but they are all politely rejected because they are not feeling well.
Ah Jin's saying is "first suppressed and then raised".
"We just need to do what we like," he smiled. ”
Xue Jinyi and he looked at each other and smiled, and the sweetness made Xue Huai snort coldly, and he was a little unhappy in his heart.
Pu Yangxuan slapped him lightly on the shoulder, "Second brother, come with me to the courtyard." ”
"Are you going to teach me martial arts?!" Xue Huai instantly became excited, and wrapped his arm intimately, as if all the previous prejudices had never existed, "Thank you, brother-in-law!" ”
Pu Yangxuan didn't move, "What else?" ”
"Uh......" Xue Huai's mind was fast, and he realized it in the blink of an eye, and bowed to Xue Jinyi with a smile, "Thank you, Sister Jinyi!" ”
Xue Jinyi nodded with a smile, "Go quickly, I'll ask someone to prepare a chilled sour plum soup." ”
"Didn't you cook it?" Xue Huai was a little disappointed.
Pu Yangxuan explained: "Your sister has something important to do, and she is too busy to get out. ”
"Okay." Xue Huai didn't force it.
After a while, Xue Huai, who was standing in the yard, saw Xue Jinyi walking into the small kitchen with a stack of books, and asked in surprise, "Didn't you say that you don't have time to cook?" ”
"There's a world in the kitchen, too." Pu Yangxuan's voice was faint, and he slapped the ring ruler into Xue Huai's knee socket coldly.
Xue Huai was caught off guard, his knees almost weakened, and he fell to the ground, but fortunately, he stumbled two steps and barely stabilized his figure.
Pu Yang Xuan said: "Zama step is the foundation of martial arts, if it is unstable, it is like a foundation that has not been laid, no matter how high the pavilion is built, but the gold and jade are defeated outside, and sooner or later it will collapse." ”
When Xue Huai heard this, he didn't complain, and quickly regained his footsteps, straightened his waist, and stared ahead with a fierce gaze.
Pu Yangxuan walked around him unhurriedly, and when he walked behind him, he looked at the small kitchen.
Xue Jinyi was sitting next to the small stove, staring at the flames in the stove, the things in the casserole were gurgling and rolling, and the aroma of medicinal herbs and flowers mixed with the white smoke wafted out.
This made the person who walked in take a deep breath and became a little intoxicated.
"Princess, what are you cooking today?" Qinglan asked curiously, "It smells so good?" ”
"I'm still trying, but I don't know if I can cook the look and flavor of the book." Xue Jinyi fanned the wind with a pu fan, "There can't be any mistakes in the things used on people." ”
Qinglan nodded seriously, "The slaves and maids all keep it in mind." ”
Xue Jinyi looked at it and asked, "How did you do the things entrusted to you?" ”
Qinglan smiled happily: "The people have already been selected, and they are ready to listen to your orders at any time." ”
"Okay, clean up the guest house, and start tomorrow."
Xue Jinyi was confident and couldn't wait to open the store tomorrow, but she knew that she couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and she had to follow the set plan step by step to achieve the effect she wanted.
She raised her eyes and looked out the window, and the figure under the tree was in the wind, and the instrument was extraordinary.
Walking with the person you love all the way makes you more motivated in everything you do.
She smiled knowingly, lowered her head and continued to do things.
After nightfall, Xue Jinyi was still checking ancient books at the desk, and another sudden strange incident disturbed the tranquility in the palace of the king of Chu.
"King Chu, princess," Qing Zhi's face was calm, but she spoke eagerly, "Some blood stains were found by the dry well in the garden!" ”
