The smile on Rong Xia's face froze for a moment, but it was only for the blink of an eye. He asked in surprise: "It turns out that those most beautiful peacocks are not female peacocks? This is my fault. Every time I see you, I I always think of those beautiful peacocks, proud and leisurely."
"It's okay, it's not a big deal if I don't know that all beautiful peacocks are male," Banhua comforted Rong Xia thoughtfully, "We have a few peacocks in our garden, I will take you to see them next time. ”
"Okay," Rong Xia said with emotion, "I had a teacher before me, and now I have Huahua as my teacher when I ask questions."
He gave Banhua a student salute: "Thank you, Mr. Huahua."
Banhua covered her mouth and smiled softly, even the tips of her brows were stained with a smile. The sun shone in her hair, and her whole body seemed to be glowing. Rong Xia looked at her with a smile, her eyes becoming gentler.
As soon as Xie Qilin walked to the door of Uncle Zhongping's Mansion, he saw the chief **** from the Queen's Palace coming out with several young eunuchs. He stopped and said hello.
"Second Young Master Xie is well," the head **** said with a gentle smile, "The Za family is running errands for the Queen and sending some gifts to Miss Xie."
"Thank you, Queen, thank you for your service, father-in-law." Xie Qilin thanked the **** and wanted to give him a jade pendant, but he refused.
"Second Young Master Xie is so polite," the **** chief said with a smile, "The Miscellaneous family is still waiting to drink your house's wedding wine."
Xie Qilin exchanged some polite words with the chief eunuch, and after the chief **** got on his horse, he turned around and entered the gate of Xie's mansion. Walking into the main courtyard, his sister and mother were looking at the gifts sent by the queen. He could see the smiles on their faces from a distance.
"Qilin, are you back?" When Mother Xie saw her son coming back, she put down the pearls in her hands and asked him to sit down. "The Queen will appreciate this year's new tea. I will ask my servants to brew it for you to try. ."
Xie Qilin looked at the happy expressions of his mother and sister, and did not mention the gossip he heard outside. He said calmly: "Since it is a gift from the Queen, it is naturally a good thing. My son is not a particular person, so there is no need to go out of his way to Soak it for me."
Seeing that her son's face was not very good-looking, Xie's mother thought that he could not accept the fact that one of his eyes was broken, so she said: "Nonsense, tea is for people to drink. It doesn't matter whether it is important or not, just drink it and feel happy."
Xie Wanyu put down what he was holding, stood up, walked to Xie Qilin and sat down next to him, "Second brother, what's wrong with you?"
"I'm fine." You do bad things."
"Don't worry, second brother. Recently, I have to learn the rules from the nanny sent by the palace every day. I am so busy all day that I have no time to go out to party with other people." Xie Wanyu is a somewhat sensitive person. Seeing that Xie Qilin's expression was wrong, she guessed that something might have happened to him outside, "Brother, did you hear something outside?"
Xie Qilin smiled: "It's okay, you are overthinking."
"Second brother, don't lie to me. There must be something wrong." Are you willing to say it?"
"It has nothing to do with you," Xie Qilin shook his head, "I met Princess Fule outside today."
"She?" Xie Wanyu's expression was a little complicated. She originally hated Banhua very much. Although she still hates him now, she doesn't have the idea of getting rid of him quickly.
She really disliked Banhua when she got engaged to her second brother. At that time, someone was always hinting in her ears that Banhua was not good enough for her second brother. If the second brother was with Banhua, her relationship with the second brother would definitely cool down.
Who was it then?
Xie Wanyu shook her head, unable to remember those faces clearly. Maybe... more than one person told her?
Considering that the second brother and Banhua were once an unmarried couple, it is no wonder that the second brother would lose his temper after seeing her. She subconsciously said, "Brother, you should stay away from her in the future. There are rumors outside that she has bad horoscopes and has defeated you..."
"Wan Yu," Xie Qilin frowned and interrupted his sister, "that's just gossip spoken by ignorant people on the streets. I didn't take it to heart, and you don't have to take it seriously, not to mention... not to mention that I was with you back then. Nothing bad happened to Princess Fule when she was engaged."
Thinking that Banhua would stand up and scold them for gossiping about his sister, but his sister still complained about Banhua. Xie Qilin felt a little uncomfortable. It was their Xie family that had failed Princess Fule. I only hope that Princess Fule can be happy for the rest of her life after they say goodbye, and that Rong Junpo will treat her considerately and sincerely, and not do anything to hurt her like his weak stance.
"On the streets, even among noble ladies, many people say that about her," Xie Wanyu pouted, "You won't speak for her just because she has a marriage contract with you, will you?"
"Wan Yu, that's enough. You will become the second prince's concubine in the future. These uncontrollable words are royal taboos. If you can't control your mouth, sooner or later you will get into trouble." Xie Qilin frowned even more. , "Concubine Lin who was by the late emperor's side was a lesson learned from the past."
"I'm just talking at home," Xie Wanyu was a little frightened by Xie Qilin's words, and whispered, "At worst, I won't talk anymore."
"Okay, okay, please stop saying a few words," Xie's mother stood up and smoothed things over, "It's past noon, get ready to eat."
"Huahua, I heard that you went out with Rong Junpo today?" Ban Huai saw that Banhua didn't use much for lunch. After putting down his chopsticks, he finally asked what he had been hiding in his heart all afternoon, "Is it fun? ?"
Banhua thought about it carefully for a long time and nodded affirmatively: "He is quite interesting."
Ban Huai's shoulders instantly dropped, looking a little pitiful, "Oh."
"But what I'm most looking forward to is father taking me to the hot springs," Ban Hua looked at Ban Huai expectantly, "When can we go?"
"In a few days, I have asked my servants to clean up the hot spring village." Ban Huai shrugged his shoulders and suddenly became energetic again, "The weather has not been very good these days, so go to the mountain Easy to catch cold."
"Yes!" Ban Hua nodded heavily and began to discuss with Ban Huai what to bring to the hot spring village and whether the large hot spring pool built in the village was suitable for swimming. The father and daughter soon forgot about Rong Xia. to the back of the head.
Ban Heng glanced at Ban Huai silently, Father, have you forgotten something?
Actually, he really wanted to know how his sister and Uncle Rong were playing?
"Uncle, the cloak has been washed. Do you want to send someone back to Princess Fule?" A nun carefully held a cloak and stood in front of Rong Xia, as if she was holding a cloak in her hand. A rare treasure.
"No," Rong Xia stretched out her hand and gently stroked the cloak and said with a smile, "After her filial piety is over, I will give her a more beautiful cloak, and this one will stay in the house."
Mammy understood and retreated holding the cloak.
He returned to the study, pulled out "On Honesty" from a hidden corner, and opened one of the pages.
"The Theory of Zhongcheng" is not just about teaching people the way to be a minister and the way to be a king. This book also contains many secrets, but the recording method is very complicated. Even if the average person reads it, they will not be able to understand the hidden information in it. .
Although he knew that there was a lot of useful information hidden in this book, he sent people to search privately for a long time and found nothing. He did not expect that in the end, the book was easily delivered to him.
The book that contained countless secrets of the previous dynasty, and even recorded the treasure troves of the previous dynasty, was just lying in his hand.
After turning another page, he saw the naive little turtle again. Thinking of Banhua being bored and drawing the turtle's appearance on it with a pen, Rong Xia couldn't help laughing.
"Uncle," a voice said outside the door, "Wang Qu wants to see you."
Rong Xia suppressed the smile on her face, put the book back in its place, "Come in."
The person who walked through the door was a middle-aged man wearing clothes bought by the uncle. When he saw Rong Xia, he was about to kneel down and bow down, but Rong Xia held him in his arms: "Mr. Wang, you don't have to be so polite."
"Uncle, my subordinates are incompetent. It took a year to find out the evidence that Shi Chonghai sold his official position." Wang Qu took out the letter in his hand, "Shi Chonghai was very cautious and almost never interacted with him. When people exchange letters, even if there are letters, they use code names, and even the handwriting has been deliberately changed."
"If Yan Hui hadn't lost power this time and made him forget his form in a moment of triumph, he still wouldn't have shown his flaws." Wang Qu thought for a while and said with some worry, "Uncle, Shi Chonghai is an old fox, you must Be careful."
"No matter how cunning a fox is, he has a tail." Rong Xia took the letter and put it into a book that looked very inconspicuous. "Mr. Wang has worked hard this year. Let's go down and rest for a few days." Day."
"It is the responsibility of my subordinates to buy my uncle's favorite paintings and calligraphy. I dare not take credit for it."
Rong Xia asked Wang Qu to take him down to bathe and change clothes, and prepared a comfortable room for him so that Wang Qu could feel the warmth of returning to his uncle's house.
When night was about to fall, Du Jiu hurried back to his house. After seeing Rong Xia and saluting, his first words were: "Uncle, Wang Qu is back?"
Rong Xia nodded, pondered for a moment and said: "Withdraw the people we arranged at the Xie family. The sun is already setting on the Xie family. Let them go."
Of the two sons of the Xie family, one has lost his official position and spent a month or two in jail. He has a gloomy temperament and hangs around the tavern; the other has an eye injury and is depressed. It would be a good thing to just follow them like this. On the contrary, it may cause the dog to panic and jump out of the wall.
February is about to pass, and March is about to come. When peach blossoms are in full bloom all over the mountains and plains, the noble men and women in the capital are riding their horses to go for an outing in the countryside. As a noble girl with both talent and beauty, Shi Feixian naturally married some talented women. In the poetry club, they wrote poems and reviewed paintings together in their spare time. She and several other talented ladies were given a nickname by the scholars in the capital, that is, the Six Fairies of the Bamboo Forest.
Because their poetry club was built in a bamboo forest, the nickname came from this.
Originally, this party was still a good time for girls like them to entertain themselves, but some ignorant lady said something that made the atmosphere in the whole room stiffen.
"Do you know who Amber Cheng's fiancée is?"
