Speaking of Prince Jing and the concubine, there is no one in Beijing who is not envious of the noble ladies. Zhu Junyang, who is the son, has the deepest experience through his ears and eyes. Whenever the father and king are in Beijing, they try to eat three meals with the mother and concubine as much as possible, and accompany her to live in Zhuangzi from time to time, and said that when he is free and her body allows, he will take her around. , to make up for what I owed her over the years.
Zhu Junyang couldn't help thinking about his future with the little girl. He will definitely not wait until he almost loses it like his father did, and then desperately try to make it up. He wants his little girl to live a carefree life under his wings forever, and will never give anyone a chance to hurt her!
The next day, Zhu Junyang went straight to Fangfu after leaving the morning court. The presents for Yu Xiaocao and Fangfu were prepared last night, and they were placed outside the palace wall when they went to court, under the watchful eye of Zhang Debao and Manager Liu. The officials who came and went looked at the boxes of high-quality leather goods, and couldn't help but take a second look, and some even asked whether these leather goods were sold in the high-quality goods pavilion.
The border has been unstable recently, causing some friction to foreigners from time to time. Many merchants going to the North and Northwest have stopped trading. After all, compared with life, money is more important than life, and it is naturally clear. It is very difficult to find such a fine-looking leather in Beijing.
Winter is coming, and if these skins are sold, the officials are thinking about buying some woolen clothes for the in-laws and daughters of the family to keep them happy.
However, when I inquired, they didn't intend to sell it at all, but gave it away. The king of Yangjun went to the north to quell the rebellion, and the whole court knew about it, but the reinforcement of the frontier was decided by the emperor on the spur of the moment. Before the king of Yangjun returned to Beijing, good news kept coming.
Unexpectedly, this person was quite caring, and he actually bought such a fine leather for himself while looking at the spare time. It's eye-catching. I heard that the soldiers who followed to the frontier this time also traded a lot of good things with the local Orion. Among them, the most rewarding one is the big .BOSS, Prince Yang! If you buy it, you buy it, why do you still pull it out to be greedy? Those censors, with itchy palms, were wondering if they should write an impeachment report!
There is an official in the family who is about the same age as the king of Yangjun, and he feels very sad. Unexpectedly, the cold and tyrannical king of Yangjun suddenly changed his temperament. Not only did he run his errands smoothly, but he also won the emperor's approval and rewards many times, and his future is boundless. People have also become much gentler. Recently, they have smiled faintly from time to time, and their eyes have become warmer. They also know how to give gifts to their favorite people. If he had known that he could do this, he should have settled down for his daughter! I don't know, is it too late
As for the little girl named Yu from Hubu, she was directly ignored by these adults. A little girl from the countryside, her status is quite different. Even if he climbed up to General Fang and recognized his godfather. These days, even a real father may not be reliable, let alone a godfather. If the king of Yangjun really can't let her go, he will lead her in and be a concubine or something. What kind of tricks can a little farm girl with no roots and no background pull out in front of a noble mistress
There are quite a few people who have this idea, and there is really one who really puts it into action. This person is a second-rank official of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion, and his temper is a bit messy. He didn't care whether the woman should take the initiative or not. When he had an idea, he asked Prince Jing to raise it.
King Jing knew his boy's temper, so naturally he didn't dare to hide it from him, so he called Zhu Junyang away under the pretext that he had to agree to the child's marriage. That name has said everything that should be said, and almost everything that should not be said.
When Zhu Junyang heard that he used the tone of kindness, he said that after he allowed himself to marry his daughter, he would carry Yu Xiaocao into the mansion and be a concubine. He also said that the daughter's family should stay in the inner house honestly, and it would be embarrassing to show up in public! Barbara, that's a lot to say.
The king of Yangjun didn't allow him to finish speaking, so he issued an order to expel the guest. This matter relies on the old to sell the old, and in the tone of scolding his nephew, he teaches the king of Yangjun a lesson. King Jing was very upset when he heard this: My own son is not willing to say one more serious word, why do you have to point fingers, and still do it in front of this king. When the king is dead? Immediately, the teacup was dropped, causing people to fork out the unsightly thing.
Zhu Junyang felt incomprehensible, and one day when he was going home from this incident, when passing by a remote alley, he put a sack on him and beat him up severely. Qian Shi of the Dudu Mansion is also a military commander, and he is also a person who followed the Supreme Emperor to conquer the world, so his skills are naturally amazing. But in Zhu Junyang's hands, there was no power to resist. Zhu Junyang even greeted him in the face, beating his wife so hard that he didn't even recognize him.
Afraid of being ashamed, this person asked for leave, and he didn't go to court for a long time, and he was too embarrassed to go on errands. The top leader of the five armies' capital governor's mansion has the worst mouth. He doesn't want to go on business with his wounds and listen to other people's jokes.
At this time, the king of Yangjun didn't know that he had become a stick of incense, from a evil star that everyone avoided, to a son-in-law in some people's hearts. He who just came down from court, took these coveted gifts and went straight to the general's mansion.
Yu Xiaocao is currently inviting the concubine daughter of the Qing family of Honglu Temple to discuss about making skin care products. This is a little girl named Li Mengru, two years older than Yu Xiaocao, almost fifteen years old. Because my aunt passed away early and she was not very favored at home, her life was not well off. Fortunately, my aunt is not the kind who can't tolerate others, and she is not harsh on her.
Although this girl has the same surname as Li Meirou, Li, her temperament is far worse. The little girl was gentle and gentle, but also a little timid, and she didn't dare to speak loudly. Because she is obsessed with making rouge and gouache, the regular silver she received on weekdays and the rewards of the New Year are all used on it. And I have been addicted to it for five years, and now I have achieved something.
This girl has a pure and innocent temperament, and the rouge and gouache she made, no matter whether it is a sister from the first wife or a sister from the concubine, they are very happy to give it away. The little sister who has a good relationship on weekdays also got a lot of gifts from her. Her rouge and gouache, if not because she didn't have enough money to buy expensive materials, would have been sought after by ladies in Beijing long ago.
Even so, the reputation spread. Many ladies from high-ranking officials also pre-ordered rouge and gouache from her through some channels. However, this girl felt that her craftsmanship was not good enough to sell, so she just gave some away when she made rouge and gouache on hand. Even if you are too poor to spend money to buy materials, you are not willing to accept money from others.
Li Mengru has been introverted since she was a child, and she is not good at communicating with others. If it weren't for the craftsmanship of making rouge and gouache, let alone those young ladies with eyes above the top in Beijing, even her direct sisters might not remember her.
Such an unknown person suddenly received a post asking her to be a guest at Uncle Zhongqin's residence. The little girl was stunned all of a sudden. Her aunt was also very puzzled, Master Yu, who is very popular in Beijing, doesn't even give face to the lady of the Ministry of Officials, and the concubine in her family has such a temper, she doesn't go out, how could she receive a post from her
After receiving the post, little girl Li Mengru couldn't make up her mind, so it was her nanny who reminded her that she was right to ask her aunt. Although her aunt did not look down on Yu Xiaocao, who came from the countryside and was made a small official because of her farming skills. However, since seeing the sad end of Li Shilang's house, she will not show her contempt in her heart, so as not to follow in the footsteps of Li Shilang's house.
Now, Li Shilang's mansion has almost become a big laughing stock in Beijing. The daughter of the Qing family of Honglu Temple also went to the flower fight. She kept in mind her mother's teachings, kept her head down and acted in a low-key manner. I also made a few like-minded ladies.
The daughter of Li Shilang's family wanted to trample on Mrs. Yu at the Flower Fighting Festival, but she was trampled so thoroughly that she was ashamed to say nothing, and her family was hated by the King of Yangjun. After hearing about this incident, Honglu Temple Minister specially called her daughter over, asked her to tell the story, and told her that the little girl surnamed Yu is now in the limelight, so she must not make enemies with her. If you really don't like someone, just don't push forward. In order not to be like the Li Shilang's family, the old man in the family now wants to eat a root of green vegetables, but he can't let the old man do so. Not to mention fruits like melons and cherry tomatoes.
Li Mengru's sister-in-law doesn't like or dislike Yu Xiaocao. Besides, their family is not short of money, so there is no need to rush to curry favor with vegetables and fruits. However, as the wife of the family, you can't be too cold and alienated, and do things that make people bear grudges.
So, when Li Mengru asked her aunt to make up her mind with the post, Mrs. Li readily agreed. And encourage her to hang out more with girls of similar age, make friends with like-mindedness, and stop staying at home all the time, messing around with those messy things.
How did she know that Master Yu, whom she didn't want to offend, sent a message to her concubine precisely because of the messy things in her mouth.
Li Mengru arrived at Uncle Zhongqin's mansion early this morning, and after greeting Mrs. Fang, she was taken into her yard by Yu Xiaocao. Originally, she knew that this time she was here to meet the legendary Lord Yu, so she was quite nervous and uneasy. However, when she saw that she was half a head shorter than herself, and about the same age as her concubine sister who lived in her yard, she felt a lot less nervous for no reason.
When Yu Xiaocao took out the small tomatoes to treat the guests, the little girl Li Mengru opened her eyes wide and showed an incredulous expression. This kind of red, small and exquisite fruit, in their family, only the sister-in-law had the opportunity to taste it. Generally such precious fruits are used to entertain distinguished guests.
I remember that when my sister tasted this fruit for the first time, she specially described the taste to them: sweet and sour, with an intoxicating fragrance, I can't get enough of it! When saying this, my sister had a memorable expression on her face. Listening to it, she and a group of sisters swallowed with envy.
