Chapter 169: The Joy of Housewarming
On August 12, the auspicious day of the zodiac, Li Li, the prince of Wu'an County, moved to a new house.
At the feet of the Son of Heaven in the capital of God, the most important thing is the rich and noble family, a county duke, which can run rampant in the locality, but it is not a serious dish here, not to mention that Li Junxian died young, and there is no heir to set up a household, only a daughter, and the old contacts between the DPRK and China have been cut off for a long time, and the relocation of his family is expected to not have too many people.
Li Zhen and Li Li's mother and son are not ostentatious, the family population is simple, and the family is not rich, so they don't plan to do it in a big way, only invite the two in-laws of Princess Gao'an Mansion and Princess Yiyang's Mansion, and invite a few relatives who have moved around after returning to Beijing, and set up a simple banquet in the restaurant run by Quan Li, and went to Ge Hui's Goolan to invite a few Kabuki, and asked for some red-clothed firecrackers from Wu Chongmin.
Princess Yiyang and Princess Gao'an have discussed, and the princess of Wu'an County has restored the title, and there is not even an official position, although there are hundreds of food estates, the income is really not much, and an appointment is made to send a shop, and a Zhuangzi, some living water into the account, and it is so generous, seeing that Li Li will also reach the age of marrying.
Wang Hui took his wife Li Ji to the new mansion of Wu'an County early, helping to do some housework, with Wu Chongxing and Quan Zhu, two little radish heads, he now also accepts Quan Ce's point of view, as soon as he has the opportunity, he will take his younger brothers to show their faces outside, do what they can, and avoid being like the two of them, when they entered the palace on an errand, they trembled and their eyes were black.
Quan Ce also wanted to go to the Wu'an County Mansion as soon as possible, but was stopped by Princess Taiping.
"Gao Mou thank you Quan Langjun" Under the persecution of Princess Taiping's sight, the new Qintian Supervisor ordered Gao Jian to bow his head and thank Quan Ce.
Quan Ce avoided it, and was not polite, and he had no intention of selling favors, "The senior eunuch order is serious, Yan Shilang is dedicated to the country and appreciates your virtue, so he will recommend you to take over the prison order, it is all based on public intentions, and it has nothing to do with me"
Gao Jian's face shook a few times, it was very unsightly, he had spread rumors to slander Yan Shansi in order to get to the top, but Quan Ce praised Yan Shansi like a flower, obviously deliberately drawing a line with him, remembering that Qin Tianjian also had a Shendao study everywhere, Tu Qiyou, who was unpretentious to himself, was the hands and feet of Quan in front of him, and he was as disgusting as swallowing a fly.
"You go down, I have something important to discuss with Da Lang" Princess Taiping frowned slightly, and gently patted Gao Jian's back, as if to appease, "Da Lang, come with me"
Quan Ce followed Princess Taiping and came to the pavilion by the pond, the autumn wind was hard, blowing on the body, layer by layer of coolness hit, Quan Ce was wearing a tight robe, and felt a little cold, Princess Taiping was only wearing a goose yellow off-the-shoulder skirt, and a large area of snow-white skin was exposed, as if she didn't notice it, "Da Lang, is it cold?" ”
"Quan Ce is good, thank you aunt" Quan Ce thought in a mess in his mind, the beautiful frozen person is probably a woman of any era, and she is happy.
"Da Lang came back to his senses, what were you thinking?" Princess Taiping stretched out her hand, pulled away a strand of hair that was sticking to his lips by the wind, and stroked his face with her fingers, her fingers were warm, she was really not cold.
Quan Ce couldn't help but think of something else, his cheeks were slightly red, "I saw my aunt's clothes fluttering and fluttering, like a fairy descending from the Guanghan Palace, so I lost my mind."
Princess Taiping giggled and glanced at him, "That's it, your sweet words, or leave it to Fu Hui to say, in two days, His Royal Highness Qianjin invited me to come to the house to play, you go with me"
When Quan Ce heard the name of the princess, he subconsciously resisted, "Auntie, Quan Ce still has some affairs to deal with in the past few days, you see ......"
Princess Taiping's face sank, glared at him, and said angrily, "What an important matter, more important than my aunt?" You little thief, you have no conscience, in vain your aunt still wants to go to the Wu'an County Mansion tonight to give Li Li some decency, even so, my aunt also has important matters, so I won't go"
When Quan Ce heard this, he was even more embarrassed, and he didn't know how to phrase it when he laughed.
Princess Taiping's willow eyebrows were upside down, and she twisted his cheek, using a lot of strength, "I don't know, I actually disliked you, if you don't make it clear to me today, see if I can spare you?" ”
Quan Ce didn't have anything that he couldn't say, and said calmly, "Auntie, I made an appointment with Chongyin and the two uncles to go together to support Li Li, if you are willing to condescend to the court, why don't you go together?" ”
Princess Taiping paused slightly, and squeezed hard, "Bad-hearted thief, you only know how to turn your elbow out, I want to see, without my permission, which of you can get out, hum"
Princess Taiping angrily swept away with her sleeves, and although her words were hard, she actually agreed to go with her.
In this way, Quan Ce couldn't go to the Wu'an County Mansion in advance as planned, and arranged a small servant to pass a message to Quan Li, King Ding, Princess Taiping and Xue Chongyin were going, and they should be prepared to be more atmospheric, and they couldn't fall into the scene.
He didn't know that before Quan Li received his order, he had closed a lot of business, and he tried his best to supply the Wu'an County Mansion, a large banquet, and Ge Hui's family, because he was an official, the old couple who obeyed him and cared for him in every way personally led a large number of top girls to support the scene.
Crowds of visitors have been in droves since the early afternoon, and there are still people coming until the evening, and the stopped carriages and horses have blocked the surrounding streets and alleys.
Li Li couldn't entertain the guests, Wang Hui also helped to entertain, and in the end it was really not good, the friends of the same generation who came to be guests, civil officials such as Ge Hui, Lin Gu, Xiao Jing, Di Guangyuan, and military attachés Hou Sizhi, Lai Chong, Lu Jiong, Han Zhai, and Dou Lu Congchang, consciously anti-guest-oriented, helped greet guests, and their mouths were full of words of apology and apology, and their mouths were dry when they read it over and over.
The inner courtyard is better, there are Princess Gao'an and Princess Yiyang, the identity level can control the scene, the gold, silver and jade are shining in the room, Li Zhen is sitting with her, her heart is very unsteady, these officials and relatives are rushing in, what is it for? She is a careful person, and after looking at the colors of these women's clothes, most of them are six or seven grades, and her heart is a little relieved.
"In the imperial history, Cheng came to Junchen, Dali Temple is coming to Zixun, congratulating the joy of Wu'an County's housewarming"
The bustling crowd in the courtyard suddenly fell silent.
"Come to Zhongcheng Please" to greet Hou Sizhi, in the circle of Quan Ce's generation, he is the oldest, and the official position is also the highest, and General Zuo Wei is already a high-ranking official from the third rank.
"General Hou invited" came to Junchen without smiling, "The number of rites has arrived, I won't enter the door" After finishing his words, he went straight to the car and left.
The taciturn Lai Zixun followed, paused again, turned back to Hou Sizhi and said, "Please replace me and ask Quan Langjun how he is okay."
Hou Sizhi nodded in agreement, turned around and shouted a few times, and asked the servants to bring the red-clothed firecrackers and set them off to warm up the cold field.
In the crisp sound of "crackling", the atmosphere became harmonious again, and the guests chatted and enjoyed the singing and dancing.
A long line of honor guards draped in red and hung with colors stretched to arrive, and two carriages stopped in front of the door, attracting the attention of all visitors.
Knowing the guest and retreating, someone had already run back to the inner courtyard to report the news.
Li Zhen and Li Li went out to greet together, the door curtain was opened, and the carriage in front of him walked out first, he jumped out of the car neatly, followed by the elegant and elegantly dressed, delicately decorated Princess Taiping, holding Quan Ce's hand, stepping on the pedal, and getting off the car.
On the carriage in the rear, three men walked out, Dingwang Wuyouji, Anping Wang Wuyouxu, and Xue Chongyin.
Li Li led everyone together and saluted in a mess.
The arrival of Princess Taiping and others strengthened some subtle signals, and it didn't take long for Cen Changqian, Su Wei, Dou Lu Qinwang, Lou Shide, Di Renjie, as well as Ouyang Tong, Shi Wuzi and other bigwigs to come.
Wu Chongmin brought a batch of red-clothed firecrackers, in the dazzling sparks and loud crisp sounds, Li Zhen's tears were swaying, Li Zhen was like falling into a dream, the public gate of Wu'an County was reopened, and its flowers were full of flowers, and the top was brilliant, far more than when Li Junxian was alive.
Among the guests, there was also a low-key line, that is, Ellie, a wealthy merchant in the Shendu, and Ai Wei, the captain of the Fireworks Army.
Ai Wei stood high in the attic, holding her chest and leaning on a red lacquered column, watching Wu Youji fall into disharmony among the high-ranking officials, Wu Chongmin commanded the craftsmen and servants, hung the firecrackers, and wanted to be lively again, Wu Chongxing's small body hung behind Mengshi Li Li like a tail, and made some small movements from time to time to help avoid some wine.
A line of clear tears crossed her porcelain-white cheeks, and in the crystal tears, only three layers were left around the inside and outside, and the power was overwhelming.
