11. The lord of Cheng'an
Mandarin duck left Lixiang Courtyard here, returned to Jia's mother's upper room, Jia's mother is accompanying Nan'an to talk to a few old mothers, this is the old school of honors, come and go is more frequent, Mandarin duck into the door, Jia's mother is crooked on the Luohan bed in greeting Nan'an how the concubine is doing, several women replied: "When the autumn is just a little unhappy, the doctor said that the heart palpitations, take a few patches of medicine and it will be fine, but it is not suitable to walk around and be tired, so I don't care about anything outside, only at home to recuperate, last month, On the birthday of the newly sealed lord of Cheng'an, every family went, but our concubine didn't go. ”
Jia Mu smiled, "The concubine has a noble status, so naturally there is no need to meet such a junior, I didn't go, I just let the daughter-in-law of the family go, I heard that it is very lively there, do you know?" ”
The mandarin duck quietly walked behind Jia's mother, and gently beat Jia's mother's back and legs, and the grandmother of the Nan'an County Wangfu heard Jia's mother ask this, and said with a smile: "I don't know there?" Who doesn't know this Luoyang City, the daughter who stayed behind when Gonggong An didn't enter the palace in the past, and I don't know how, so she was favored by the Holy Queen alive, and entered the eyes of her old man, and was suddenly accepted by the Holy Queen as a goddaughter, and became a golden branch and jade leaf seriously, "Obviously, these grandmothers can also speak well, and they speak in a measured manner, but they are also interesting," It is said outside that Long Live Lord was originally proposed to the Holy Queen Niangniang to become a princess, but the Holy Queen said that it doesn't have to be like this, it's just that the county lord is, But Long Live Lord still has to choose the title of the Internal Affairs Office and the Zongren Mansion, which is called Cheng'an! ”
"There is such a thing," Jia Mu nodded, "I heard that this county lord often enters the palace to serve, and also lives in the Ningshou Palace, and it is also given to the county lord's mansion outside, but it is not very lived, it can be seen that the holy queen is very fond of it." ”
"Who said it wasn't, plus Father-in-law An is also the most favorite of the Holy Queen......" The grandmother said such a sentence, and then stopped talking, but although these people are wealthy housewomen, where do they not know what the meaning of the second half of the sentence is, it is nothing more than An Fuhai's power leaning towards the government and the opposition, even if the Holy Queen did not favor her daughter, for the sake of An Fuhai's power, everyone had to stutter, and she might have been ridiculed before for making eunuchs regardless of her identity, but now she has no worries at all, after all, she is the goddaughter of the Holy Queen, has already been crowned the county lord, and he has already passed the Ming Road, and now he is filming the sycophants of the Holy Queen Niangniang.
"Then you went, but you saw the county lord?" Mother Jia smiled, "I heard that she is very beautiful and has a good temper, but my two daughters-in-law in this house have not been lucky to see each other." ”
"It's not that she has a big shelf, I heard that it is still not public, we also went that day, Gonggong An was not there, only some eunuchs were outside to help, and the gifts were not accepted, and came out and said to everyone: Bathing in the grace of heaven to get this title dare not swagger, tea and dinner have been prepared, dare not be congratulated by everyone, please take care of yourself. also prepared a banquet troupe, etc., which is not too rude, but it is true, everyone can't say it. ”
The outside is boiling, saying that he is afraid that the lord of Cheng'an will be very arrogant, or there is a suspicion of disturbing the court, but these days everyone is watching coldly, this Cheng'an county lord in addition to entering the palace to serve the holy queen, the rest of the time he hides in the house and rarely goes out, it is difficult to go out, it is just to go out of the city in the western suburbs and other places in the imperial manor, etc., the end is very low-key, the original canonization of the daughter of the eunuch as the county lord of the matter of the uproar, but she is so low-key, not to mention the things of the world, the things of Luoyang, strange people emerge in endlessly, not long, Everyone's focus is not on the county lord of Cheng'an, the wealthy families are just giving some gifts on the day of their birthday, and one more county lord's mansion is nothing.
Everyone said this, the woman of the palace of Nan'an County saw that Jia's mother looked a little lazy, so she got up and said goodbye, Jia's mother ordered someone to send a send, and the mandarin duck took advantage of this time to say in detail about going to Lixiangyuan with Sister Feng, Jia's mother half-closed her eyes and didn't speak, the mandarin duck thought that Jia's mother was going to fall asleep, and was ready to retreat, but she didn't expect Jia's mother to sigh quietly, "This great cause may not be big, it's only been a few years, and the family is so difficult." ”
The mandarin duck didn't dare to say anything, but just comforted: "Why should the ancestors worry about this, just let them do it, the second grandmother is on an errand, this matter is just a hurdle, and it will naturally be peaceful after it passes." ”
"Brother Feng'er is doing things well, but this clever woman is difficult to cook without rice, there is no silver at home, nothing can be done, I estimate that where you go to your aunt's wife, there will not be many," Jia Mu shook her head, "This silver matter, I have to think again." ”
Seeing that Mother Jia was in a bad mood, Mandarin Duck hurriedly changed the topic, "Just now in Lixiangyuan, I heard that Uncle Xue is coming back today, and this time he will be outside Xihua Gate." ”
"Coming back?" Jia Mu nodded and said with a smile, "As soon as I come back like this, my aunt will feel relieved." ”
"Since I inherited my aunt's affection, I can't say anything if I don't repay it here," Jia's mother said lazily, "I don't care about anything else, but since it was Brother Feng who went to borrow the silver, and called you too, and borrowed your person to make a raft, you can stare at it all the time, needless to say, the silver borrowed by Mrs. Aunt in the future must be repaid earlier." ”
The mandarin duck agreed, and after a while, Amber came to report, saying that Sister Feng was coming, Jia Muqi said: "Why is she free this time?" ”
I saw that Sister Feng's face was full of spring breeze, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were red with joy, and when she saw Mother Jia, she restrained her expression a little, first said hello, and then said that Xue Pan was coming back, "I have already sent people and horses to greet me outside Xihua Gate, and I must take the cousin of the Xue family back properly." ”
"That's the best, you see when you're free these days," Jia Mu smiled, "Please also ask my aunt and the Xue family's brothers and sisters to arrange a banquet to clean up a table, which can be regarded as a pick-up for him, listen to what you said before, the Xue family's brothers have done a good business outside, and Baoyu can't go out at home, if he asks him to tell us about this experience in Tianzhu, the Baoyu girls are also happy." ”
Sister Feng hurriedly agreed, and glanced at the mandarin duck again, the mandarin duck knew that Sister Feng was only afraid that there was something important to report alone, so she pulled Amber's sleeve, quietly retreated from the back of the main house, and went around the hand-copying verandah to the front to guard the door. I was afraid that someone would disturb me, and sure enough, after a while, someone came to report in a panic: "Uncle Xue is blocked outside the city??! ”
