Chapter 11 Situation
Chapter 11 Situation
Xia Yu had been pattering down all night, and the ground, which had been scorched all day, finally became a little cooler.The rising sun showed its face slightly, and the sky after the rain fell into a halo of light.
The small brown nanmu door in the backyard of Wenhou Mansion was slowly pushed open, and the first person who walked out was a girl wearing a light green silk shirt, combing a lily bun, holding an umbrella with a painting of the Jiangnan landscape, sparrows, and persimmons.She stepped out of the threshold, gently opened the persimmon oil umbrella, and waited quietly with her head lowered.Then the woman who came out was wearing a dark blue long brocade dress, her hair was coiled and coiled on the top of her head, a little bright red rouge was smeared on her face, her expression was majestic and noble, and she looked carefully, it was Wen Pangshi.
The maid walked up to her holding an umbrella, and stretched out her hand to help her walk to the long-awaited carriage at the door.
The air that had rained was a little sticky, and the magnolia trees were dotted with crystal clear raindrops.A drop of water slowly shakes off the white magnolia petals onto the light pink persimmon oil paper, and slowly drops to the ground along the umbrella surface, splashing tiny splashes.
The groom guarding the side of the carriage respectfully stood aside, raised the curtain of the carriage, and waited until Wen Pangshi and the maid holding the umbrella sat in the carriage, then let go of the curtain and climbed into the carriage.
The rein twitched violently, and the tall, lazy horse kicked its front hooves and galloped away.
Wen Pangshi lifted up the car window and glanced out. Just after half hour, the doors of shops on both sides of the street opened sporadically.A few figures hurried past by the side of the road. Wen Pangshi felt bored watching it, so he put down the curtain and sat on the chair.
As soon as Yinshi arrived, the courtyard of the Compassionate Ning Palace became lively.Palace servants and eunuchs came and went in the aisle corridor, holding water basins, towels and sesame oil in their hands.
Concubine Yuan just got up, her black hair was not tied up, and she was only wearing a thin silk obscene dress.The two well-behaved maids guarding her side went outside the house, took the basin and other things from the maids outside, and went to Concubine Yuan to wash her face and change her clothes.
In the bronze mirror, Xiangqi is the lower skirt and Ziqi is the upper jacket. Her hair is divided into strands and knotted, and the end is tilted and placed in front of her head. Her lips are pomegranate red, and her frowns and clusters are beautiful and moving.
Concubine Yuan Gui glanced at the person in the glasses, and said softly, "What time is it now?"
The servant girl who stood behind her combing her hair bowed her head and replied, "I'm going to report back to your mother, it's just passed Maoshi."
"Oh...it's already time." Concubine Yuan said this, raised her hand, and the maid standing behind her retreated aside knowingly.Concubine Yuan stood up, flicked her sleeves, and asked, "Where did Baode go?"
"My father-in-law went to pick up Mrs. Wen at the gate of the palace." The servant girl who answered the question just now answered with her head down.
Concubine Yuan Gui walked slowly to the door, looked up at the rising sun, her face was frosty.
"Your Majesty, it's time to eat, do you want to eat?" The little eunuch who was walking towards Concubine Yuan asked softly, with his eyes on his toes, half bowed.
"Xuan!" Concubine Yuan raised her hands and shook her sleeves with awe-inspiring aura.
"Chuan Shan—"
The half-bent little eunuch turned around and called out in a sharp voice.
Neatly lined up in two rows, the palace servants with jade plates and delicacies in their hands filed in.Concubine Yuan was seated at the first place, and the two servants who were guarding her side walked to both sides of the round table to set up dishes for her.
When Concubine Yuan stopped after eating, the eunuch who was waiting outside turned around and respectfully said to her: "Your Majesty, Mrs. Baode brought Mrs. Wen over here."
Concubine Yuan raised her eyebrows, took out a handkerchief and wiped her mouth, took a sip of tea before she said: "Let Baode take you to the lobby."
"Yes." The little eunuch outside the door responded and walked out of the inner room.
Wen Pangshi walked into the Palace of Compassion with the nobleman Baode Gonggong who was next to Concubine Yuan. Baode Gonggong walked in front, and she followed behind, looking at the surrounding environment with eyes slightly lowered.
No matter how many times you come, this palace is really magnificent.Concubine Yuan's ability to enter the palace as a noble concubine is a blessing that she has cultivated for several lifetimes.Wen Pangshi then thought of her daughter Ziyao getting quite close to the eldest prince these few days, and the jealousy in her heart was deeply suppressed by her.
As long as her family's Ziyao becomes the crown princess, and even will become a queen under one person and above ten thousand in the future, Wen Pangshi will show a smug smile on his face.
At that time, she will be the queen's mother-in-law, so what does this Concubine Yuan mean?
Thinking of what he asked her to help, this noble concubine Yuan was still taking Joe in front of him, Wen Pangshi's face turned hideous for a moment.what!
Wen Pangshi was brought into the lobby of the Palace of Compassion and Peace, and Eunuch Baode asked her to wait, then took the little eunuch who came to inform her back to Concubine Yuan.
The palace maid poured Wen Pangshi a cup of Pu'er. Wen Pangshi waited impatiently, and after taking it, he raised his head and finished it in one gulp.Concubine Yuan came slowly from the outer room, and when she was about to step into the threshold of the lobby, she saw her swallowing jujubes and drinking tea recklessly, and she felt vulgar and disgusted.
"Your Majesty is auspicious!" The maidservants in the lobby cupped their hands and bowed to Concubine Yuan when they saw Concubine Yuan.
Wen Pangshi also saw her. Although he was extremely reluctant in his heart, he didn't show it on his face. He respectfully stood up from the chair, bent slightly, put his hands under his stomach and performed a blessed body salute.
Concubine Yuan Gui glanced at her, and said to the servants and eunuchs: "You all go down."
"Yes." The maids and eunuchs left one after another, and after a while there were only Concubine Yuan and Wen Pangshi left in the lobby.
Concubine Yuan went to the first seat and sat down, looked at Wen Pangshi disdainfully and said, "What's the matter this time?"
Wen Pangshi straightened his body, stood three steps away from Noble Concubine Yuan, and said with a smile: "What else can I have? Isn't this here to find your mother to catch up on the old days?"
Concubine Yuan Gui sneered: "It's okay for me to reminisce about the old days. I think you must have come here for the incident last time."
"The imperial concubine is really a pure heart."
"What you said is so good that I really can't tell whether it's good or bad." Concubine Yuan held the teacup on the table sideways and rubbed it gently in her hand, "I will help you once, after this time, I hope I won't hear you mention that matter again." Having said this, Concubine Yuan narrowed her eyes.
Wen Pangshi grinned and said with a smile: "Look at what you said, the imperial concubine. Of course, the young one is not someone who will come, as long as the empress helps Wen Yelan marry Xiao Qi'er this time - then, the young one will also marry Xiao Qier." I won’t take my life too long and tell others that Concubine Yuan, who is next to the Holy Majesty, once had an old relationship with the abbot of Lingyin Temple.”
Concubine Yuan tightened her hand holding the teacup. She glared at Wen Pangshi angrily, and scolded: "Wen Pangshi, do you really think that I dare not take your life!"
Wen Pangshi apologized and said with a smile: "Young concubine, please calm down, isn't this a short-term quick talk?"
Concubine Yuan Gui said in a deep voice: "I have agreed to your matter, you can go back." She turned her head and stopped looking at her.
Seeing that the matter had been negotiated, Wen Pangshi also left with the palace maid knowingly.
After Wen Pangshi walked out of the Compassionate Palace, Concubine Yuan smashed the teacup in her hand.
This Wen Pangzi is really presumptuous!Now is not the time to deal with her, otherwise she will never let her off easily!
Wen Pangshi walked out of the palace gate, and when he was about to board the carriage, he looked back at the majestic and majestic palace, and said with a cold smile, what about Concubine Yuan?Still can't do anything to her, as long as she dies, the scandal that Concubine Yuan fears the most will be announced to the world!
Wen Pangshi looked away, got into the carriage, and the groom drove the carriage forward slowly.
There was a muffled thunder in the clear sky, black clouds overwhelmed the city, and rain was about to come.
According to what Fang Fu said, Xiao Jin accidentally revealed his household registration certificate in front of outsiders, and the rumors that were unfavorable to Mrs. Wen were suppressed from continuing to develop.
Since he was released from prison, Xiao Jin has only been to Biyang Restaurant and Wen's House.In order to collect information about this world as soon as possible, Xiao Jin felt that it was necessary for him to find out for himself.
After the day when the rumor spread, Fang Fu would leave the inn at the end of the day, and only come back at the end of the day.Xiao Jin was not interested in where he went and what he did, but he could somewhat guess where he was going.Fang Fu probably went to find Fang Liang, and Fang Liang searched for the murderer behind the spread of rumors to slander Mrs. Wen.
Another day, just after noon, Fang Fu left Qingxiang Inn after exhorting Xiao Jin.Xiao Jin lay on the bed for half an hour, and he sat up slowly after the door was knocked.
Pushing the door open was a young man with the same stature as Xiao Jin and his likeness.After Xiao Jin threw a few ingots of broken silver to him, he walked out of the room.
After collecting the money, the young man put on the fine clothes on the bed, loosened his hair, climbed onto the soft bed with his back to the door, covered his head with a quilt, and fell asleep soundly.
This Xiao Qi'er is so rich and stupid that he hired him to sleep in his bed.But just sleep, there is a piece of silver, it is a good deal.The young man grinned in a daze when he fell asleep.
Xiao Jin changed into clothes that he hadn't worn in front of Fang Fu, and wandered down the street all the way.He looked around, and finally settled on a bookstore in front of him.
The corner of his mouth curled up, and he walked slowly into this quaint bookstore called "Book Fragrance Pavilion".
The inside is not big, and it can be seen at a glance.There are three or four rows of bookshelves standing in the center, and the bookshelves are filled with books of various colors. There are a few lonely young people who look like scholars wandering among them.In addition to the bookshelves in the middle, the walls of the bookstore are also covered with calligraphy and paintings of famous artists with different styles.Xiao Jin glanced at it casually, and asserted that the person who opened this bookstore must have a very delicate mind.
It's just a small book store, but it allows the students who are taking the imperial examination to borrow books to study, and the final harvest will not be small.Xiao Jin glanced over several scholars in the inner hall one by one, with a smile in his eyes.If any of these candidates passed the imperial examination, they would more or less sell favors to the person who opened this bookstore in the future.
Thinking of this, Xiao Jin gently rubbed his index finger and thumb.It is undeniable that Xiao Jin became a little interested in the behind-the-scenes boss who opened this bookstore.
Xiao Jin walked to a row of bookshelves, and just as his probe touched a historical book of the Zhu and Song Dynasties in front of him, a clear voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Xiao Qier?"
