Huang Yueying's words made Guan Ji feel happy and shy at the same time.
The loss of Jingzhou placed a heavy burden on the Guan family.
To sum up, both His Majesty and the Queen have known each other since childhood. However, the second brother, as a servant, was originally on duty in the palace, but he was obviously alienated by His Majesty.
The fact that the new king doesn't like the Guan family may not be groundless.
It was when I came back from Hanzhong for the first time last year that His Majesty's attitude towards the second brother changed slightly - because that time I brought back the share of the ranch.
Because of the technique of wishing the chicken and the old man given by Feng Lang, Guan Mansion's life became much more comfortable. Later, this also involved dry food for the army.
This income is increasing.
Only then did the second brother have the confidence to win over the old subordinates of the Guan family.
Only then can I have the confidence to manage all aspects of relationships.
Only then can I have the confidence to communicate with each family.
Even His Majesty has become closer to the Guan family.
The Guan family at this time is much better than the Guan family last year.
Thinking of what that man said, "It is difficult for a rich man to be a man without money." Although it sounded vulgar, when I thought of his appearance and imagined his expression when he said this, at this time, there was something in the corner of Guan Ji's mouth.
Bring a smile.
What you say makes sense.
When she thought of him, Guan Ji couldn't help but think of all the things he did when the two of them got along in Hanzhong, and the curve of her mouth became even wider.
It's hard to escape love when you see Feng Lang, not to mention that you are already deeply in love, where can you escape?
As my aunt said, it is rare for a woman to meet a good husband. Since she finally met a good husband, she naturally wanted to recognize him. How could she let him go so easily?
Huang Yueying looked at Guan Ji and suddenly giggled. She seemed to be infected by Guan Ji's joy. She also smiled helplessly and shook her head.
"When the late emperor entered Shu, he felt that the world had experienced chaos and destruction, and that learning had been neglected for a long time, so he gathered together legal codes and books and had them rearranged."
"Xu Ci, Hu Qian, Meng Guang, Lai Min and others were the main scholars who were in charge of classical literature and ancient books at that time. Xu Ci's knowledge was quite good, but unfortunately he was a little worse as a person."
Huang Yueying knew that Guan Ji was thin-skinned, and after confirming her feelings, she couldn't make fun of her anymore, so she changed the topic to the things mentioned above.
"At that time, when all industries were established, there were not many rules. In addition, people had different opinions on matters of learning, so there were many doubts about annotation."
"Xu Ci and Na Hu Qian have always had disagreements. They competed, attacked, and slandered each other. In order to prove that they were right, they sometimes provoked and fought with each other, and even boasted about themselves and disparaged each other. The books between the two did not say anything about mutual understanding.
none."
"This situation gave even the late emperor a headache, and constant persuasion could not resolve the grievances between the two parties. It was not until later, when Hu Qian died first, that the matter stopped."
"So, Xu Ci still has some talent. He is a veteran and a meritorious official. It is just because of his character that he has not been able to get promoted in official positions."
Huang Yueying's face showed regret, "Both the late emperor and the prime minister wanted to temper his temper, so they kept suppressing him. I didn't expect that the son he taught would be so unbearable."
"But if you do this, I'm afraid you will have a grudge with the Xu family."
Guan Ji's face was plain, and although her tone was light, there was a sense of determination, "Then when Xu Xun told me about the matter between me and the Li family, he should have thought that he would have a grudge against my Guan family."
When the Guan family doesn't know who spread the news, they can pretend they don't know anything.
But if you know who is spreading the news, you can't pretend to be deaf and dumb.
Otherwise, who will take the Guan family seriously in the future?
"If this matter is investigated, it is Xu Ci's fault for talking too much."
Huang Yueying frowned slightly, "He is originally from the inner court and is familiar with all kinds of etiquette. At that time, Nanzhong was rebelling, and the prime minister was anxious to appease the Li family of Nanzhong. He originally thought that since you took the initiative to marry into the Li family, he would only wait for Li Wenxuan's consent.
Just take care of your marriage."
"That's why the prime minister summoned Xu Ci into the palace and asked him what etiquette should be followed when a prince's daughter marries the governor's son."
"At that time, Li Wenxuan was frequently in and out of the Prime Minister's Mansion. I think he had already figured out the whole story by then. Then Xu Xun must have learned about it from his elders, and then he took the opportunity to use you to slander that boy's reputation.
.”
"What I'm curious about is, why did the Xu family suddenly let a matchmaker come to accept the offer? If the offer failed, how could Xu Xun mess with you?"
"I don't know why the Xu family came to adopt their niece."
Guan Ji explained, "But Si Niang insisted on dragging me to attend a boudoir party a few days ago. At that time, I happened to meet some gentlemen from Jincheng, and Xu Xun was also among them."
"That's when Siniang told me what he had done and asked me to teach him a lesson. I couldn't get angry at the time, so I agreed. Later, Siniang tried to provoke him again, but he couldn't stand it, so he talked to me
I tried my hand at the end."
Although Guan Ji said she didn't know why the Xu family asked a matchmaker to come to her door to accept her, she actually had some vague guesses in her mind. It was probably because she was seen by many people wearing women's clothes these days, so someone got interested.
Guan Ji still has a certain degree of self-awareness about her appearance.
But she didn't know that there was a certain big luoli that was adding fuel to the fire.
Zhang Xingyi put a lot of effort into tricking Xu Xun into competing with Guan Ji.
She had seen many young men in Jincheng competing to show off in front of her, and Zhang Xingyi could somewhat grasp the psychology of these young men.
Therefore, Zhang Xiahou is worthy of being a girl from a noble family, and she fully understands the principle of letting her daughter experience some things so that she will not suffer so easily in the future.
When a matchmaker comes to your door to accept the offer, it is basically a test. Even if it fails, it doesn't matter because it is just an expression of such a wish.
As time goes by, it will naturally fade away.
But not long after this incident, Zhang Xingyi asked Guan Ji and Xu Xun to meet. The young man was so proud, how could he let go of it for a moment?
If you add a little more provocation, how could Xu Xun not be fooled?
Who in Jincheng doesn’t know the name of the Guan family tiger girl?
But I only heard about it. In fact, most people have never seen his skills with their own eyes. In addition, Guan Ji was wearing women's clothes at the time. If Xu Xun didn't dare to end up in this situation, his face would be the same.
Being thrown away.
When Xu Xun appeared in front of Guan Ji, Zhang Ji wanted to cut off the escape route behind him and prevent him from retreating.
But there is also a pit in front of it. Although this pit looks beautiful and she is wearing women's clothes, if she falls in, she will definitely break her leg - because the Guan family tiger girl is a real tiger.
The hole dug by the Zhang family's young lady is simply dark and deep.
"Were you wearing men's clothing at that time?"
Huang Yueying's face was even weirder, and she glanced at Guan Ji up and down again,
"Women's clothing."
"Wearing women's clothing broke his legs?"
"yes."
Upon hearing this, Huang Yueying rubbed her forehead and sighed helplessly, "Siniang's thoughts are becoming more and more unpredictable. When she grows up, she will probably be even more difficult to deal with than her elder sister. If you two do this, you will only
I’m afraid that Xu Xun will be completely embarrassed.”
Although Guan Ji did not tell the details of the situation at that time, who Huang Yueying was, a woman who even the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty relied on, just from Guan Ji and Liao Liao's few words, she had already guessed the role of Siniang in this.
effect.
Moreover, the reason why Siniang knew what Xu Xun had done was most likely because she got the information from the queen.
Because when the rumors about Guan Ji and Li Yi spread some time ago, the Prime Minister thought that there was something wrong in the palace, so he asked someone to find out who had told the story about Guan Ji and Li Yi.
This investigation directly traced Xu Ci, and Xu Ci was from the inner palace, so even if the prime minister wanted to warn Xu Ci, he would inform the palace.
"Forget it, Xu Xun deserves it."
Huang Yueying thought for a while, even if the Xu family realized that the two women had teamed up to hack Xu Xun, they would not dare to say anything.
Needless to say, the Zhang family, the Guan family is not easy to mess with now, plus the cruel and ruthless Xiao Wenhe...
Well, even if it were me, I might just have to swallow this breath first.
What's more important is that if this matter really comes to an end, the Xu family will be at fault first.
Anyway, neither the left nor the right can suffer. Thinking of this, Huang Yueying added a layer of worry. What is the purpose of Si Niang's so much effort?
Zhang Xingyi can also be regarded as half of Huang Yueying's daughter. Huang Yueying can still vaguely guess what she is thinking.
Thinking of the incident last year when the boy almost got engaged to Siniang, Huang Yueying couldn't help but sigh, if she had known this, why did she do it in the first place?
What a sin!
"Why does my aunt sigh?"
Guan Ji thought it was Huang Yueying who was worried about her feud with the Xu family, so she couldn't help asking with concern.
"I was thinking," Huang Yueying looked at Guan Ji, and after a while she made up her mind and said, "What if Si Niang also likes that boy?"
The thin layer of paper between Guan Ji and Zhang Ji was suddenly pierced.
Guan Ji was caught off guard and became a little panicked, her eyes wandering, "How...how could..."
"What if?"
Now that Huang Yueying has said it, she won't let it go so easily. She has seen many things and knows the reason why Dang Duan is constantly being messed up by, "You also know that Si Niang almost got engaged to him at that time.
"
"He...he won't."
Guan Ji couldn't answer Huang Yueying's words, so she had to use Feng Tubol to resist.
"Why not? He even has concubines. Don't you know that he has a reputation for being lecherous... Humph!"
Huang Yueying said dissatisfied, "Besides, you don't know how much fun he had with Siniang at that time. And in the past year or so, has his contact with Siniang been less?"
"No, it means no."
Guan Ji plucked up the courage and said, "Although he has a concubine by his side, he only gave her a title and never touched her. He said that men should not break the law before they are eighteen years old and women should not be broken up before they are sixteen years old."
Because it is too harmful to the body. How old is Si Niang? How could he have such an idea? "
Huang Yueying only thinks that this statement is really ridiculous, "That's nonsense. According to what he said, there are not many couples who have children at the age of thirteen or fourteen in the world?"
"it is true."
In order to prove her statement, Guan Ji said anxiously, "He said that was the rule in his sect. You are not allowed to have sex with women before the age of 18. And according to his sect, the best time for a man and a woman to get married is
, all after twenty."
"Is there such a thing as that?"
If it was Feng Yong who said it, Huang Yueying would not believe it, but when she thought of the mysterious sect behind the boy, she had to pay attention, "What's the truth?"
"This niece doesn't know either."
Guan Ji shook her head and said, "Brother said, many of the reasons why women in this world feel like going through hell when giving birth are because they are too young, and also because they don't pay attention to isolate the disease when giving birth, so later on
It will damage your bones."
"What else did he say?"
Huang Yueying asked hurriedly.
"I can't remember clearly," Guan Ji blushed. Her brother told her about a woman giving birth to a child. It was embarrassing, and she didn't hear much at the time. How could she remember clearly?
"Besides, there were many things my brother said at that time that my niece couldn't understand. So, aunt, my fourth mother is only twelve years old this year, and she won't be sixteen until at least four years."
"Ouch, you woman!"
Huang Yueying stabbed Guan Ji in the forehead with her finger, causing Guan Ji to stagger.
"What happens to you, Si Niang, and that little bastard in the end? That's the business of the three of you! I don't care anymore. What I want to know is what else the kid said about this woman giving birth!"
I saw Guan Ji lowering her head and being speechless. From the look on her face, she couldn't say anything more.
Huang Yueying sighed again, had to put the matter aside for the time being, and picked up a piece of cloth.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. I will ask him again when I have the opportunity."
"By the way, do you think it would be warmer to use this fabric to make undergarments in winter? It's really weird. How can that little guy be so thoughtful? How come he knows everything? The undergarments he makes are different from others.
It’s different, but it’s still comfortable to wear.”
The undergarments that Huang Yueying mentioned were the trousers that Feng Yong and his party were accustomed to wearing in Hanzhong.
These pants were also included in the clothes Feng Yong customized for Zhang Ji. In addition, coupled with the clothes Guan Ji wore after returning to Jincheng, the close-fitting clothes will never be without undershirts.
This thing is really convenient to move around when worn, and it is close-fitting and warm. The most important thing is the huge influence of wool, so the Prime Minister's wife is also planning to make several sets of such clothes herself.
"It's definitely warm, but my brother said that you should sew a lining inside, or simply wear a lined undershirt inside."
Guan Ji said carefully.
As expected, Huang Yueying glared at her again, "Brother, brother, you are my brother when you speak and shut up. I think you are hopeless! You will be eaten to death by him in the future!"
The tiger girl shrank again and turned into a sick cat.
At the beginning of winter, His Majesty the Emperor, who was staying in the palace, suddenly issued an edict, saying that he would personally go to Huiling to worship the late emperor.
This edict caused a little stir in the court. Some people were a little confused. It was starting to get cold. How could His Majesty the Emperor still think about leaving the palace?
"In the past, we couldn't go out when it was cold. What are we afraid of now?"
A colleague heard his muttering and said something to the side.
"How can I not be afraid?"
"Didn't you ask your mother-in-law to make the woolen cloth that you handed out a few days ago into clothes? Those things are very warm to wear..."
