On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, more than half of the dignitaries and officials who came to Beijing crowded into the Xiangrui Tower.
Hu Chao took out an exquisite scroll and slowly unfolded it: "Brother Xian, these are the details of the items in today's auction show. Take a look."
"My God, isn't this too luxurious?" Yun Xiao glanced at the entire Xiangrui Building covered in silver, and then looked at the vivid purples and reds on the scroll, and was confused: "Brother, this? This should be a bargain.
Isn’t that right?”
Hu Chao pretended to be mysterious: "I thought that since you are so close to Lord Ping Ning, you must know the secret."
Yun Xiao waved her hand, glanced at the maid waiting beside her, and said nothing.
The maid of Xiangrui Tower explained diligently: "Two gentlemen, don't look at it. Now the building seems to be in an ice and snow castle. When the twelve flower fairies perform their dance, it will become like in the painting."
Hu Chao and Yun Xiao looked at the colorful scenes in the scroll, with flowers in bloom, and rare birds and animals everywhere. They really couldn't imagine how this vast expanse of white could turn into a Penglai fairyland.
In order to show that he knew what was going on, Hu Chao naturally made an unpredictable expression. Yun Xiao seemed to be in a bad mood, but the maid did not explain much. After serving the delicious food and pouring the wine for the two of them, she bowed her head and left.
"What's on your mind, dear brother?"
"Brother, I don't know. A few days ago, Lord Pingning personally sent an invitation from Xiangrui House to Mr. Xiao. For some reason, the two of them broke up on bad terms. In the past few days, Mr. Xiao has been sighing, but I didn't even bother to help him.
If I don’t, I feel very depressed.”
Hu Chao turned the glass cup in his hand, considered it carefully and said slowly: "You and I, brothers, should treat each other with sincerity. But some of Brother Yu's private matters are too involved, and it is inconvenient to talk to outsiders. But now, the situation in the court is extremely dangerous, and Brother Yu doesn't hide it.
is you."
Yun Xiao made a puzzled expression, and Hu Chao continued: "Brother Xian took action twice and helped Prince Rui a lot. Brother Yu asked, brother Xian, is willing to serve Prince Rui Qing."
Yun Xiao was so confused that she drank all the wine in the glass and remained silent.
"The Marquis of Pingning is indeed a party of the King of Wei. His military advisor Gongsun Wuji has disguised himself to enter the Palace of the King of Wei many times. The King of Wei often sends Gongsun Wuji out in person, which is a very close relationship. Concubine Chen has been the favorite of the palace for many years.
Mi Xin also knows a lot that the death of Queen Jiang's two sons is inextricably linked to King Wei, but he just suffers from the lack of conclusive evidence, otherwise the crime of murdering the late prince alone would be enough to make King Wei irrecoverable."
Yun Xiao let out a long sigh: "I didn't expect you to know about this. I won't hide it from my elder brother. Mr. Xiao and I have a life-saving grace. He wants to be a pure minister, and my foolish brother will help him to be a pure minister. He will never do anything like this."
What harms Mr. Xiao’s reputation?”
"My dear brother, all you need to do is reveal to us some of the secret movements of Lord Pingning."
"It's natural!"
When the time comes, the music starts, a bright moon rises slowly, and amid the smoke, twelve stunning beauties descend from the sky like gods.
The twelve flower fairies can be distinguished by their clothes. The cherry flower fairy wears light pink clothes, the peach blossom fairy wears peach red clothes, the rose fairy wears crimson clothes, the peony fairy wears purple clothes, and the begonia fairy wears red and pink clothes.
The mallow fairy wears purple clothes, the lotus fairy wears light pink clothes, the hosta fairy wears light green clothes, the osmanthus fairy wears goose yellow clothes, the autumn chrysanthemum fairy wears golden clothes, the crape myrtle fairy wears light blue clothes, the green plum fairy wears tender green clothes, ten
The clothes of the two flower fairies were all embroidered with their respective flowers, and the silk flowers on their heads corresponded to each other. They gracefully fell from the sky, causing the whole hall to cheer.
Hu Chao looked around. He knew that if the Holy Lord arrived, he would definitely be in the No. 1 Tianzi box facing the stage. However, the door curtain of the box was tightly covered and no flowers could be seen.
Yun Xiao stretched his neck and looked at the Second Pavilion, which was also covered tightly with curtains. He poked Hu Chao with his hand: "Brother, on weekdays, the Second Pavilion here is basically reserved for Mrs. Jin. I wonder if she can also do it today?"
exist?"
"It's impossible. It's said that Mrs. Jin has just become pregnant, and the Marquis of Pingning has a son who he values very much. The second pavilion here is probably the family of Prince Su."
As soon as he finished speaking, a furry little head poked out from behind the closed curtains. Yun Xiao poked Hu Chao: "Brother, Mrs. Jin's cat."
A well-maintained hand opened the curtain, revealing the bright and beautiful face of Princess Su Chu Wan. Prince Su behind simply opened the curtain, and the couple stood side by side, chatting and laughing.
"I'll just say it's Prince Su and his wife."
As the music changed, twelve flower fairies danced gracefully on the stage. Hu Chao's attention was quickly attracted by the dance on the stage.
The Peony Fairy was the first to speak: "It's such a good day and such a night, covered in ice for thousands of miles, it's a bit monotonous."
The other fairies agreed one after another, and the twelve fairies formed seals with their hands in extremely graceful postures. The entire lobby of the Xiangrui Tower suddenly felt like the spring breeze was blowing, the ice and snow melted, flowers bloomed, and various rare birds and animals appeared one after another.
The sound of music changes, the soul-stirring flute sounds rise softly, the long sleeves of the twelve flower fairies dance, countless delicate petals fly gently in the entire lobby of Xiangrui Tower, and the refreshing fragrance of flowers is intoxicating.
In the rain of flowers, the other eleven fairies disappeared one after another, leaving only the hosta fairy who appeared like an orchid in the empty valley. With her light and graceful, erratic dancing posture, her wide and wide sleeves were opened and closed to cover up, which further highlighted her various manners.
Her beautiful appearance. Everyone looked at her graceful dance in ecstasy, almost forgetting to breathe. The hosta fairy's beautiful eyes were looking forward to it, and everyone present was heart-beating, and they all thought that she was looking at them.
At this time, the sound of the flute suddenly became more urgent. The Hosta Fairy used her right foot as the axis. She gently stretched her long sleeves and her delicate body rotated faster and faster. Suddenly she flew up from the ground. The other eleven flower fairies flew over and formed a circle.
Circle, waving her jade hands, dozens of blue silk ribbons fluttered out, and blue waves seemed to rise in the hall. The girl flew up to the ribbons, her slender feet were light, and her clothes were fluttering, just like a fairy on the waves.
The entire hall burst into applause, and the sounds of surprise and praise were endless.
"Brother, didn't you say this is an auction show? Why is it just a show but not an auction?"
Zheng Qiyan, who had the same doubts, looked at the scroll casually and tried hard to control himself, not to strangle Jin Dabing, who was twisting and turning in his wife's arms, acting cute and coquettish.
How could Jintong control himself from coming to such an important event? So, Jintong, knowing that the Holy Master was ill and unable to come, honestly occupied the No. 1 box in Tianzi.
Jintong casually pulled the scroll, pointed to the two rows of jewelry trees and said: "Hu Chao's eldest daughter is getting married. According to his taste, this extremely coquettish peony flower jewelry tree is his. Plum orchid bamboo,
Mrs. Jiang's dishes." Jintong kept ordering with his hands, clearly arranging the sixty-six products in Xiangrui Building.
Zheng Qiyan said doubtfully: "Are you so sure that it will be as you think?"
"Oh, please believe Mrs. Jin's eyes. She knows the joys and sorrows of the ladies in Beijing very well." Jin Tong crossed his legs in an incomprehensible manner and chewed on the duck's neck: "Besides, shopkeeper Xie has orders
Go down and decide who is responsible for receiving whom. Just wait and see."
Zheng Qiyan looked at his little daughter-in-law's complacent look, thinking that such a comfortable life would probably not last long, and couldn't help but feel a little gloomy on her face.
"Old Zheng, are you hiding something from me?"
What the hell is Lao Zheng called? It's extremely unpleasant. Zheng Qiyan frowned and said, "Change your name!"
Jintong looked confused: "What should I call you? Lao Zheng is very good, aren't you old?" Jintong threw the duck bone in his hand on the table, and said with a malicious smile: "Is it possible? Are you not?"
Your surname is Zheng?”
Zheng Qiyan controlled her urge to strangle Jintong, took a deep breath and told herself: His wife, who was born in a noble family, was young and beautiful, and was pregnant with his child, besides being unlimited tolerance, accommodation and pampering, what else could he do?
Why can't it work?
Zheng Qiyan said after careful consideration: "The border is not peaceful, and war may break out at any time, whether it is Beiliang or Xixia. Once a war breaks out, there is a high probability that the Holy Lord will use me."
"In such a huge Yi Dynasty, there is no general who can fight? Are you afraid that your great achievements will shock your master?"
"I'm afraid that you are pregnant and have no one to take care of you!"
"Do you think the two hundred or so people in the mansion are just decorations?"
"Can they compete with me?"
"Are you good at raising babies or delivering babies?"
Zheng Qiyan: "..." Well, we have been chatting to death today.
Seeing Zheng Qiyan's expression of constipation, Jintong immediately reflected on himself: Did he offend the boss? The overbearing president should like the "yingyingying" coquetry, not the independent women who stand upright with him, right? It seems that he is
Life is so good that I feel so lost! I forget that my own life and a certain degree of freedom are still in the hands of others!
Jin Tong shook the brocade cake nestled in his arms away, twisted his body and leaned towards Zheng Qiyan: "Ms., I can't bear to leave you, but it's going to rain and the country is going to war. There's nothing we can do about it!
But since things haven’t happened yet, how about we continue to eat."
This little wife is really different. Zheng Qiyan looked at the sky speechlessly. Forget it, you can pamper your own daughter-in-law. But her hands were a little itchy and she wanted to pinch something. Zheng Qiyan scooped up the brocade cake and controlled her strength.
