Walking to the Chuihuamen, Rong Xia saw that the servants of the Ban family were leading out two women dressed as women. The two did not look like servants of the Ban family, but neither did they look like nobles.
"Your Highness is safe." The two female storytellers saluted, and seeing that there was another person behind Ban Huai, they were blessed again, and they bowed their heads and retreated.
"This is Mr. Storyteller raised at home," Ban Huai said with a smile, "I keep them for fun on weekdays."
Thinking of Ban Hua's habit of listening to people tell stories and being picky about plots, Rong Xia smiled: "It's good."
I had known for a long time that the Ban family raised Mr. Storyteller, but only after seeing it did I know that the Ban family's comfort and attention to life were enough to make many people envious.
"Father, Uncle Rong." Ban Heng greeted him and was relieved to see that there was nothing wrong with Ban Huai. Early in the morning, my father was called away by the people in the palace, and no news came out. He didn't even listen to what the storyteller said.
There were tables and chairs outside the yard, with tea and snacks on them. Sitting at the table, Yin Shi and Ban Hua, Rong Xia stepped forward to greet Yin Shi, and presented the greeting gift bought on the way.
"Our family doesn't pay attention to these things," Yin Shi greeted Rong Xia with a smile and sat down, "Don't bring anything next time."
"It's not a valuable thing," Rong Xia Yiyu's corner of eyes swept over Ban Hua from time to time, "It's just that it's kind of interesting, the juniors think that everyone can take it and have a taste."
Ban Heng sniffed, this "everyone" only includes his sister? These little things were obviously meant to coax little girls like his sister. He is a big man, and he will not be interested in this.
Yin Shi also guessed Rong Xia's careful thought, she smiled and let Rong Xia take a seat, "Thank you for the reminder today, nephew."
Rong Xia shook her head: "Auntie said this because she treated the younger generation as an outsider."
Ban Heng lowered his head and played with the teacup in his hand, saying this as if he was a member of the Ban family at the moment.
"Ma'am, is it time for lunch?" Ban Huai rubbed his stomach, "I get up early in the morning, and I don't even have a chance to use tea."
"It's already ready." Seeing that he was always dismantling herself, Yinshi was curious and funny, and asked the maids to wash and wash her face.
"Uncle Rong, it's a good day today, and lunch is served in the garden. What do you think?" Yin Shi wiped clean and turned to ask Rong Xia.
"Your garden is beautiful, and dining here can make people feel relaxed and happy," Rong Xia nodded hurriedly, "Everything is up to my aunt."
"Yeah." Yin Shi nodded.
The meals are served quickly, light and spicy, sweet and savory, with various flavors, color and aroma. Rongxia found that the Ban family had a small population, but their tastes were different. In the past, the Ban family members were not so casual when eating. Now it seems that the Ban family members really did not feel wronged when it comes to eating.
In addition, the family members of the class don't use servants to serve meals, and they don't pay much attention to the rule of not saying anything, and they can talk about some gossip about their neighbors.
It seems that the last time he came to the inner courtyard for dinner, the Ban family members were more reserved, and now they have revealed their true colors.
After listening to them, he realized that in the other street, whose mother-in-law likes to toss with her daughter-in-law, and whose son is not filial, the topics they talk about are even more shocking than the last time they came. It can be seen that when the family members are bored, they go there Listen to these.
"My nephew," Ban Huaisai gave Rong Xia a cup of Xiaoshi tea after he was full of food and drink, and said with half-squinted eyes, "The people in our family have such a lazy temperament, which makes you laugh."
Rong Xia's brows spread out, and the corners of her mouth dipped into a smile: "No, it's good."
Ban's family no longer accepted him by disguising his true character, indicating that the Ban family had begun to value him.
Ban Huai drank tea, looked at Rong Xia and smiled without saying a word.
"The younger generation has no elders, no children and nephews, and being able to eat at the same table with the uncle's family is a kind of enjoyment for the younger generation," Rong Xia turned to look at Ban Huan, "In the future, if my uncle does not dislike it, I will also Will often bring the county master back for dinner."
Hearing the word "come back" in Ban Huai's ears, it was extremely ironic, so he didn't seem to be so repulsive to the marriage mentioned by Rong Xia, "After getting married, you two young people stay in an empty big mansion. Deserted. The yard at home will always be reserved for you, and you can come back whenever you want."
"Master," Yin Shi didn't expect Ban Huai's three or two words to push her daughter out, and she scratched the lid of the teacup in her hand, "The marriage date of Hua Hua and Uncle Rong has not yet been set, so it is too much to mention now. early."
"Yes yes yes." Ban Huai nodded again and again, in front of Yin Shi, he had no position.
Rong Xia stood up and gave a big gift to the two of them: "The younger generation knows that it would be a bit rude to say this today, but the younger generation has to mention it. His Majesty's health is worsening day by day, the prince's character is weak, the second prince is ambitious, and the younger generation is worried about the capital. There will be trouble."
Ban's family: Yes, not only will there be trouble, but there will also be a change of dynasty.
Rong Xia thought that Ban's family would be curious and panic, but facing their "so what?" expressions, Rong Xia had the feeling that she just said "Gong Xi Fa Cai, all the best."
"Uncle's status is precious, and the younger generation is worried that someone will write articles on your house," Rong Xia frowned, "Please act cautiously in the future."
Ban Huai nodded, "Thank you nephew for reminding me."
"In addition, the junior thinks that there will be an auspicious day after the spring next year," Rong Xia raised her head and looked at Yin Shi and Ban Hua, "The junior sincerely wants to marry the princess, and hopes to set the date earlier. If it is Your Majesty... The junior is worried that it will be more troublesome later. "
Ban Heng held his cheek with one hand, tilted his face to look at Rong Xia, the real point finally arrived.
When Ban Huai and Yin Shi heard this, they didn't refute immediately. Especially Yin Shi, with a thoughtful look on her face, looked at Ban Hua after a long time, and suddenly smiled: "Uncle Rong doesn't know something, our Ban family has never been a person who pays attention to vulgarity. When are you and my girl? Getting married is indeed a big event, but it's not just us who have the final say."
In her opinion, there are indeed many benefits to marrying Rongxia. First, the population is simple, and you don't have to worry about trivial matters between concubines when you marry. There are no elders on it, and they don't pay much attention to the rules. She doesn't have to get up early to greet her every day. With her lazy personality, she asks her to go to serve her mother-in-law every day at dawn. As a mother's yin Just thinking about it makes him feel reluctant. The daughter that she raised in the palm of her hand has never suffered any hardships since she was a child, but when she married someone else's family, she suffered all the hardships. How can this make her feel at ease
Furthermore, she had just observed Rong Xia herself. This person has a good temperament and a broad mind. Her family's temperament is not very good. Marrying a man with a better temper can lead to a comfortable and enjoyable life. If after getting married, the husband and wife get along with each other, but they get angry every day and do not behave well, what fun is there in the life after marriage
The most important point is that Rong Xia has obviously understood the temperament of Hua Hua, as well as her little hobbies, and even sometimes his eyes are gentle when he looks at Hua Hua.
As a mother, Yin thinks of many things, but the only thing she wants is for her children to have a smooth life.
"Junior understands." Rong Xia looked at Ban Hua with a smile.
Ban Hua raised her head to meet Rongxia's eyes, without twisting or dodging, she just blinked those beautiful eyes, "What day do you think is a good day?"
"After spring begins next year," Rong Xia smiled, "at that time, the flowers are in full bloom, and the princess is dressed in red, so she must be the most beautiful bride in the world."
Ban Hua's eyes turned into a crescent moon with a smile.
Just when Rong Xia thought she would agree, Ban Hua tilted her head with a charming face, "I'll think about it again, at least... Let's talk about these things after counting the days."
Rong Xia said calmly, "I have already asked someone from Qin Tianjian to do the calculations, and I haven't beaten it. Next year's February 26th will be a good day."
"Um..." Ban Hua didn't expect Rong Xia to move so fast, and she really counted the days. She turned her head and said unreasonably, "Then, then you..."
"Then you should be hired by three media and six, and tell all the rules that should be taught," Ban Hua turned her face and whispered, "It can't be settled like this."
Rong Xia laughed, her voice soft like a spring breeze, scratching the tickling of Ban Hua's ears, so that the tips of her ears began to turn red.
"Don't worry, the county master, I will not let you be wronged in the slightest by the rules," Rong Xia was not annoyed, but seemed to condone the child's coquettish behavior, "I am not a person who is impatient, but the county master treats me. Words are too important, and I can't bear to be neglected in the slightest."
Ban Huai touched his chin beside him. Although Rong Xia was only his future son-in-law, his style of conduct was quite the same as he used to be.
Yin Shi took a sip of tea and did not interrupt the conversation between the two. She stood up, "I'll go to the back room to rest."
This attitude has come close to not opposing the marriage date next February.
"Madam, I'll accompany you." Ban Huai held Yin Shi's hand and left Ban Heng behind.
"Uncle and aunt walk slowly." Rong Xia saluted.
Ban Heng glanced at his parents who were leaving, then at his sister and future brother-in-law, twisted his body uncomfortably, held a teacup and lowered his head to drink tea, resolutely not to leave. He is a principled person, such as not letting people approach his sister easily.
Fortunately, Rong Xia knew that this was Ban's family, so she didn't make any outrageous actions. Facing Ban Heng's greedy eyes, he smiled helplessly at Ban Hua, "I'll take a break in a few days, can Xiu have time to go to the western suburbs with me to put up paper kites?"
"Paper Yuan?" When Ban Hua heard this, he suddenly became energetic, "Okay, I like to go!"
Ban Heng coughed dryly: "I'll go too." When his parents were there, he still called his sister the county master in a proper way, and it would become a bum. This is not a face-changing trick of Shuzhou.
Rong Xia smiled and looked at Ban Heng, who straightened his back.
"There are many people to be lively." Rong Xia said.
Ah.
Ban Heng smiled at Ban Hua.
Rong Xia stayed at Ban's house for nearly three hours before leaving. After walking out of the gate of Ban's house, a guard who was waiting outside greeted him: "Uncle, the people of Qin Tianjian want to see you."
The main job of the people in Qin Tianjian is to observe astronomy and geography, and infer climate changes from the changes in the stars and clouds. If they encounter a special natural disaster, they also have to pray for the sky part-time. Beheaded for the year of catastrophe.
Generally, people who have been beheaded are not very lucky, because they meet people who believe in ghosts and gods and think that people in Qin Tianjian should pray for rain.
There are all kinds of people in Qintianjian, some like to observe astrology, and some like to study seismographs. People in Qintianjian are not of high rank, and their status in the court is very ordinary. Only the nobles hold various birthday characters. When they infer numerology, they only have a sense of existence.
The people in Qin Tianjian also feel very aggrieved. They know how to observe astronomy and meteorology, but it does not mean that they can tell fortunes.
However, as an official in the court, there are not many specialties that can’t be used, so the people of Qin Tianjian gradually learned a new skill, which is to deduce the eight characters of birth date, numerology and metaphysics. These nobles were fooling around.
The supervisor of Qin Tianjian, Mr. Hu, was only a small doctor from the ninth grade, but because he was young with an expert who was stubborn, he was trusted by the nobles. In just ten years, he became a doctor. The most qualified person in Qin Tianjian, many people would call him Mr. Hu when they saw him.
In the beginning, Cheng Amber asked him to calculate the birth date, and he was very happy. However, taking the eight-character calculation, he almost thought that there was something wrong with his eyes, or that the eight-character was wrong.
However, no matter what he did, this was clearly an extremely precious but lifeless fate.
Guiji has the appearance of Feng Fei, but there are signs of short-lived. The signs of short-lived are particularly obvious, but the appearance of Feng Fei is illusory.
If your life is gone, how can you still fly
The prince already has a prince concubine. If the prince ascends the throne, the queen will be the prince concubine, so what does he have to do with Fule County Master? Even if the second prince ascends the throne, it is impossible for the second prince to make her the queen due to the degree of disgust the second prince has for Princess Fule.
It shows that this county owner may have the latter fate.
Short-lived.
There was another possibility, but he didn't dare to admit it, or didn't want to admit it.
He sighed secretly, and after thinking about it, he decided to see Uncle Rong. In any case, he can be regarded as someone who is attached to Uncle Rong, and these things cannot be hidden from him anyway.
Rong Xia saw Mr. Hu at his home, he went up to the top and sat down: "Mr. Hu, is the character set?"
"Uncle Rong, my ability is not good, I'm afraid it's..."
"I have never doubted Mr. Hu's ability. If you have anything to say, just say it directly." Rong Xia said, "Is there any problem with the date I asked you to set before?"
"That day was indeed a good day for marriage, but..." Master Hu looked at Rong Xia in embarrassment, "The problem is the character of County Fule."
Rong Xia frowned upon hearing this: "What's wrong with her character?"
"The character of Fule County seems to be prominent, but she has the appearance of fate," Mr. Hu added, worried that Rongxia couldn't understand, "She will... die under a sharp blade."
Rong Xia raised her eyebrows, and her eyes suddenly became sharp: "Mr. Hu, I never believe in fate, you should understand."
Master Hu looked at Shang Rongxia's eyes, his heart trembled, and he got up quickly and said, "Actually, there is still a chance to change the fate of the Fule County Master. I know that the uncle does not trust these, but..."
"Tell me, is there any chance to change your life?" Rong Xia interrupted Mr. Hu's words.
"The phoenix life is auspicious. As long as the county master carries the phoenix life, he will naturally be reborn from Nirvana, without fear of any sharp blade." Master Hu bowed to Rong Xia, "But I think this way is not feasible. Uncle, please think twice."
"Are you talking about Fule County Master, or about me?" The smile on Rong Xia's face faded away, her fair fingers touched the tabletop, the tentacles of the tabletop were cold, and he lowered his eyelids slightly, "Fate is up to you. What if the Fule County Master has a phoenix fate, with me in this life, no one will bear her."
"Uncle!" Master Hu finally couldn't help saying, "I don't understand why you want to marry such a woman since you want to achieve great things?"
"Mr. Hu," Rong Xia tilted her head to look at Master Hu, her eyes full of chills, "Are you trying to interfere in my private affairs?"
"I don't mean this," Master Hu said with a pale face. "Now the second prince and the prince's faction are frequently moving in private, and there is a king Changqing who can't figure out what's going on. I'm worried about you..."
"King Changqing is just a piece of grass," Rong Xia sneered, "I have ambition but no guts, I think it's a good cover up, but the thought is very obvious."
People who live well in this capital are not fools.
"Such a big event, if it is successful, it will become famous through the ages, and the loser will be left behind for thousands of years. Uncle, please think twice." After all, Master Hu did not want Rong Xia to go down that road.
"Mr. Hu," Rong Xia looked at Master Hu, "The abbot said the same thing as you not long ago."
Master Hu was silent for a while, he knew who the abbot the uncle was talking about.
"I'm very grateful for your willingness to follow me, but there is one thing I hope Master Hu will understand," Rong Xia took a sip of tea and said in a cold tone, "What I don't like the most is when others point fingers at me."
Master Hu's palms were slightly sweaty: "I'm overstepping."
Rong Xia nodded: "If Ban's family comes to ask, you only need to say that the 26th of February next year will be a good day. As for the rest... don't mention a word."
"Yes." Seeing that Uncle's complexion was slightly better, Master Hu summoned up his courage and said, "Perhaps the person appointed by the Fule County Master is you, Uncle."
Rong Xia's face turned pale, and her fingers gently rubbed the tea cup: "It's not maybe, it's just me."
"Yes." Only then did Mr. Hu realize that his feet were shaking, but he was so nervous that he didn't notice it at all.
After Mr. Hu left, Rong Xia picked up the eight-character criticism on the red paper and read it for a long time, and finally pulled the red paper tightly. From childhood to adulthood, he did not believe in ghosts and gods, nor did he believe in the destiny, only himself could believe in it. .
"Come on!"
Du Jiu walked in, "Uncle."
"Second prince, you can go and help." The red paint on the red paper stained Rong Xia's entire hand, he opened his palm, looked at the bright red palm, and said slowly, "I think the second prince I should really like the gift I gave him."
"Yes."
The second prince lives in the West Shelter in the west of the palace. Compared with the high-grade palace, this place is narrow and small. Every word and deed are watched by countless pairs of eyes. The two of them who live here are also the two of them. The teenage younger brother, but these two younger brothers have never entered his eyes. Whether they are there or not makes no difference to Jiang Luo.
Since Xishe was guarded by heavy troops, he had lost his temper in the house for a long time, and he didn't know the seriousness of the situation until the news that his father was seriously ill and the prince was in charge of the country.
If something happens to the father and the prince makes the crown prince get the great treasure, then his life will be difficult in the future. People outside said that the prince was benevolent and kind, not lewd, courteous and courteous, but in his opinion, the prince was not a benevolent person.
Saying that the prince is not good-looking, I'm afraid he just doesn't like it on the face, but he has countless women inside. Only a brainless woman like Ban Hua would think that the prince just regarded her as a good sister. He also played with the prince since he was a child, and regarded him as a good person.
"His Royal Highness," an inner servant hurriedly walked in and said to the second prince, "The Yan family has come in with news."
"Give it to me." The second prince hurriedly took the note from the chamberlain. The note was very small, with only a dozen sons written on it. But for the second prince, who has been guarded in the courtyard, this news is already precious.
The prince supervises the country, the government is unstable, and the prince is powerless to control.
After reading the note, the second prince shredded the note, soaked it in the tea, and poured the tea into the flowerpot, "Interesting."
Seeing that the second prince had been locked up for so long, the inner servant laughed out loud and was too frightened to look up, thinking that the prince was mad at him.
"Your Highness, Your Highness?"
The second prince looked up at the servant: "What's wrong?"
The servant shook his head: "The servant just thought, you can actually win over those four ministers."
"You said Rong Xia and the others?" The second prince sneered sarcastically, "Don't be delusional, they are the loyal lackeys of the father." Otherwise, after being seriously ill, only the four of them were called to face the Holy Spirit.
"They are just loyal to Your Majesty, it doesn't mean they are loyal to the prince," the inner servant whispered, "As long as the prince does something that disappoints them, with the actions of these four adults, I can't bear such a person to be the future emperor."
"disappointment… "
The second prince frowned. The crown prince was used to pretending, besides the crown prince, there was only one concubine. Although there was only one daughter under his knees, he was calm, as if he was not in a hurry. Complimenting how good the prince is.
How good is the prince...
Yes, since these people like to praise the crown prince, let them praise him desperately, slowly, and praise him to the extent that everyone in the world says he is good, even the emperor cannot compare to him.
He wanted to see if the emperor could not tolerate the next prince who was "better" than him.
"His Royal Highness, although this servant is not a real man, but when a servant sees a beautiful palace maid on weekdays, he can't help but look more," the servant whispered, "His Royal Highness is a real man, how can he be indifferent to beauty? "
"You're right," the second prince immediately cheered, "A man who is indifferent to beauty is either pretending or Liu Xiahui."
The inner servant bowed and said diligently, "It is the servant's responsibility to share the worries of His Highness."
People tend to look at others with their own standards, and use this as a guideline, as is the case with the Second Prince.
Undercurrents are surging in the palace, only the Ban family seems to be the only unresponsive greenhouse in the undercurrent. Except for the family of four who go out less often, how should they live their life? Summer is coming, and the Ban family is already busy tailoring clothes. , ready to wear plain clothes in 108 different aesthetics.
In summer, it is easy to sweat, and metal silver jewelry is not suitable. The color of jewelry in previous years was too bright and not suitable for them to use now. What should I do
Buy, buy everything again.
Glass species, suet white jade, and plain-colored crystals can all be used.
Money is something outside the body. It is not taken with life or death. If it can be spent early, it will be spent. When the house is raided, it is not worth it if it is all cheaper for others.
The Ban family has always felt that things are not wasted unless they are spent, and it is not their style to store dust in the house. The tents, screens, and shading veils are all replaced with the best plain tulle, which is both ventilated and comfortable to watch.
When the books in the library at home were moved out to dry, Ban Hua was lying on the pavilion, looking at the books drying in the yard, she couldn't help falling asleep.
Ban Heng was not much better than her. He lay on the fence, yawned and said, "Sister, it's really troublesome to keep these books. You can't eat or use them. You don't know who will be cheaper after a few years. When Rong Junbo is in the shower, let him come and choose it by himself, and if he likes those, I will give them to you as a dowry."
"Who wants this as a dowry?" Ban Hua was rather disgusted. "You might as well give me a few more Zhuangzi shops."
"That's true," Ban Heng nodded generously. "There will be no shortage of Zhuangzi shop. But books are also required. If my future nephew likes to read, wouldn't our family have an extra talented person?"
"What nephew, it's not a word, you might as well think that your future child is a talented girl," Ban Hua half-squinted: "It's getting hotter every day, and every day is sleepy."
"No, when the weather is hot, I don't want to go anywhere," Ban Heng said. "Looking at the white sun, I feel a little dizzy."
"Prince, the princess," a young servant hurried over, because he ran too fast, and stepped on the book on the ground, "the big thing is bad."
"What happened?" Ban Hua and Ban Heng sat up straight, and their faces became serious when they saw the young servant being so flustered.
"Just now, news came from outside that Cheng Anbo and Yao Shangshu somehow angered His Majesty, and His Majesty actually asked the guards to hit the two of them."
"What?" Ban Hua frowned, "How is it now?"
"Cheng Anbo has been sent back to the mansion. It is said that the situation is not very good. The servants of Cheng Anbo mansion have been looking for doctors everywhere."
Uncle Tangtang, the servants have to go out to find the doctor. Is it because the doctor in the uncle is not useful, or the people from the Taiyuan hospital dare not go to the uncle to treat the injury
How serious does it have to be to make it so big
"Arrange the doctors in our house first," Ban Heng said without hesitation, "Hurry up."
"Yes, the little one is going to set the horse." The little servant immediately responded, turned around and ran.
Ban Heng turned to look at Ban Hua: "Sister..."
"Go to Amber House."
Ban Hua's face turned solemn, and she turned and walked into the sun.
Ban Heng followed without hesitation.
