Zhen Guo Princess GL

Cui Mingde came quite early, although Dugu Shao and I greeted us graciously, even A Huan went down to greet us personally, Cui Mingde met us in a leisurely manner, I thank her for her help first, but she bowed to me solemnly, saying: "The 39th Lang and the [-]th Lang in my family have not been able to choose for many years, and I still entrusted Erniang to be selected as the best. I have to thank Erniang for being the best."

It was my own idea to choose officials for the two younger brothers in her family who were not outstanding in their studies, probably because Cui's family is well educated, and it is not difficult for the children to get into official positions through the imperial examination. It's better to help these underachievers.I inquired from Dugushao and recommended the same mother's concubine brother and cousin who had a good relationship with Cui Mingde to the Ministry of Officials. One of them was selected as the official secretary, and the other was selected as the county magistrate. They are both officials with a bright future. ——This matter is small, and it is difficult to get news inside and outside the palace, so even A Huan doesn't know about it. Cui Mingde is in the deep palace, and the news is so quick, which is beyond my expectation.

I glanced at her, and said with a smile: "Twenty Lang and Thirty-nine Lang are both talented and talented, and when they met again, it was only a matter of time before they entered the class. Without me, there would be someone else to promote them, so I dare not be the second mother's gift." .”

Cui Mingde smiled without saying a word, and followed us upstairs.I deliberately didn't ask anyone to clean up the mess. When I passed by, I paid attention to her reaction, but I saw her walking by without looking sideways. After I sat down, I only talked about Fengyue, and didn't mention a word of what Dugu Shao said, and I didn't talk to Dugu Shao. .

A Huan looked across from me, she asked someone to take away the throwing pot, and ordered someone to serve the food.

Today, there are mostly vegetables and fruits, and the meat dishes are all raw meat. First, some people come up, waving them like flying, and cut the beef and fish into extremely thin slices, and put them on the same plate. Put it, the fish meat is crystal clear and white, and it is filled with coral.There are four small porcelain plates on the side of the sliced ​​meat, filled with mustard, dogwood, ginger vinegar, and orange, each of which is matched with the color of the porcelain according to the sauce. It doesn't look like food, but it looks like a pearl hairpin.

In addition to meat, there are also crabs. Now eating crabs is the same as in my previous life, and I also pay attention to creamy yellow, but the origin of the crabs is different. Today, I use the big crab specially given by my mother, which has been carefully raised in the palace. Banyue, big and fat, each of them put three in front of them first: one was eaten raw, and in addition to orange and ginger vinegar, there was also a new sweet-scented osmanthus fruit, which was very elegant in name and reality; Add seasoning and steam on the fire; one will mix the cream yellow and meat together, wrap it in batter and deep-fry, which is the so-called "crab glutinous rice".

After the first few scenes of the popular film, they retreated to the side, and the classroom began to play music. First, two people stepped forward to perform the scene of swallowing a knife and spitting fire. During the dance, the three flames were big and small, green and red, very gorgeous; after the two, another rope player came up and danced a long rope like a living thing, and sometimes came out like a spirit snake. Hole, probe on the table, sometimes like a goddess scattered flowers, floating in six directions, and can hold the long rope flat, from bottom to top, a straight line, the artist climbed up and down along the long rope that went up out of thin air, curled up in the air. On the rope, he made all kinds of funny plays, which made us applaud again and again.

I only ordered people to serve fruit drinks, not wine, but in the middle of the banquet, Ah Huan said with a smile: "It's no fun if there is a banquet but no wine, let them serve wine."

Cui Mingde was noncommittal, but Dugu Shao said: "You guys drink, I'm in the game today, so I'm not allowed to drink alcohol."

Ah Huan said with a smile: "It's just some fruit wine, drink a few cups lightly, it should be no hindrance, look at the Jin Wu's guards, drinking in the middle of the day is not a big deal."

Dugu Shao said solemnly: "Before Sun Wu beheaded the beloved concubine of the King of Wu, and later there was Xiliu who refused to let the emperor's edict. The law of war lies in it. Don't dare to forget it for a moment. Si Niang forgives the sin."

I know that Dugu Shao attaches great importance to the job of Cuju envoy, and he is always joking and laughing on weekdays, and never slackens in his official duties. He is afraid that A Huan will be embarrassed, and when he was about to come out to smooth things over, he saw her raise a glass and sip casually, Turning the cup in her hand, she said slowly: "So, Liu Niang really treats Mulan Qi like a government soldier?"

Dugu Shao said slightly annoyed: "Since the Empress Dowager is named Mulan Cavalry, she set up a team of captains and captains, and gave them according to their grades. Naturally, she is treated as a guard, and she is expected to be brave enough to purge her and not lose to men."

A Huan smiled lightly and said, "Really, I thought Mulan Riders practiced as palace servants just to enshrine, play ball and hold guards of honor. After all, I have seen Sixteen Niangs practice several times, and what they did was simply standing in line. It’s just playing cuju, without the marching, hacking and killing that are common in the army.”

Dugu Shao blushed slightly, and argued: "Arranging to stand in line is the beginning of a purge of soldiers. Everything is always from easy to difficult, and it cannot be accomplished overnight."

Ah Huan laughed and said: "So that's how it is." Holding up his cup, he paid a respect to Dugu Shaoyao, and said: "Since this is the case, we don't want to drink any more, just drink fruit." Smiling, Dugu Shao was extremely displeased by her arousal, and because of her status, he couldn't say much, so he could only drink tea in a moody mood.Cui Mingde glanced at Dugu Shao, turned to me and said, "Although you can't drink alcohol, you can play games."

I immediately said: "You can throw the pot." Cui Mingde smiled and said: "Autumn is halfway through, I feel weak and tired recently, I'd better play some gentle games, such as long walks, dice games and so on." Look at A Huan again: " The place is not spacious, so there is no need to keep so many people to serve, just one or two people waiting at the door to announce, what does Si Niang think?"

Ah Huan said with a smile: "I also think there are too many people. Why don't we ask them to remove the seats and move the bed over. The four of us sit on the bed, talking and playing games. If we are tired from playing, we can lean against the window and enjoy the flowers." Seeing that we had no objection, they asked someone to move the sitting bed, and put the long-row chessboard in the middle. The two of them and the two of us sat on each side. Standing on the stairs and waiting.

Cui Mingde and other followers were sent far away, and they looked at A Huan: "I don't know if Si Niang specifically mentioned Mulan Qi's military discipline. Is it because she saw Wei Zhong committing crimes in the past, but A Shao didn't pay attention to it, or is there another reason?"

As soon as she spoke, Dugu Shao went straight to look at A Huan again. A Huan smiled and said slowly: "Mulan Qi is the ceremonial servant chosen by the A family, and Sixteen Niang is strict with the army, and there is no crime under her command." Not waiting for Dugu Shaozhan to laugh, he added: "But this is only based on the selection of palace candidates to serve as ceremonial guards of Cuju. If it is really like the soldiers in the palace, they wake up in the morning and go to exercise until night, not everyone can do it. Listen wholeheartedly, what's more, the worship of the palace people is more generous than that of Zhongyuan in the army. , I'm afraid Sixteen Niang may not be able to order and prohibit, as if she were her body."

Dugu Shao was silent.Cui Mingde's eyes flickered, he stared at A Huan and said, "However, Jinwu and Baiqi may not be as Siniang said, drill day and night, and have strict military discipline."

A Huan said with a smile: "If Sixteen Niang's ambition is only to serve as a guard of honor, then it's okay if I didn't say anything, but in my opinion, Sixteen Niang's ambition seems to be far more than that."

Cui Mingde said indifferently: "Serving the Supreme Master and serving as a guard of honor is what everyone in the army wants to aspire to. As a daughter, Ah Shao can fulfill this great responsibility, which is already the ultimate concubine, what kind of ambition can he have? ? Si Niang probably misunderstood."

Ah Huan laughed and said: "That's why I read it wrong." He raised his chess piece and made a move, but saw Dugu Shao raised his head, looked at her, and then at me, and said in a deep voice: "Si Niang said so." Yes, my ambitions do not stop there.”

Cui Mingde frowned and called "A Shao".

Dugu Shao took a fixed look at her, she sighed, and said softly: "Don't forget that your family still expects you to be the successor."

Dugu Shao muttered: "It's not that I'm not married." Stared at by Cui Mingde, he frowned in a rare way, sighed, and bowed his head in silence.

A Huan touched my hand a few times, I knew what she meant, looked at Dugu Shao, then at Cui Mingde, and asked softly, "Is family so important to Er Niang?"

A Huan touched me again, I squeezed her hand, and patted her palm to comfort her, while I looked at Cui Mingde and Dugu Shao, both of them looked shocked at the moment, as if what I was suffering from was not The "heart disease" of heartache is not the "heart disease" of epilepsy.

Cui Mingde quickly returned to normal, raised his eyebrows and looked at me: "Er Niang thinks family is not important?"

I smiled to avoid her implication: "One surname and one clan have been passed down for thousands of years. Of course, there are many things worth cherishing. It is also a good thing for relatives of the clan to grow up together and have deep feelings. But a family is a family after all. Everyone in the family is just relatives and outsiders, and your own family is the real family. If the family is really that important, why do people always want to pass on their wealth and fame to their sons instead of the clan sons? If the family is really important If they are so inseparable, why are there always so many disputes among the high-ranking families, and after decades, most of them have to separate into separate clans to separate relatives?"

The two people on the opposite side frowned even tighter. Seeing that I had reached this point, Ah Huan held my hand instead, and added coolly: "If it is really according to the patriarchal clan, it is best for Mr. Dugu to choose The son of the family is the heir, but he wants to find a family for Sixteen Niang, presumably in his heart, his daughters are still much more important than the etiquette and clan."

Dugu Shao showed deep thought, but Cui Mingde straightened up and said: "I have to go back to copy the scriptures, so I will leave first—I still want to thank the princess for choosing officials for the two younger brothers. And, never refuse."

As soon as Cui Mingde said his goodbyes, Dugu Shao also left, but he walked slowly, with unfinished intentions, walked to the courtyard, and looked up at us again, I saw her like this, turned to look at A Huan, and smiled at her , go the same way.
