Once magnificent, now brilliant

"Ruowei?" Bai Junyu picked up the fish, "Ruowei is also nineteen this year, it's time to find someone else."

In addition to his dead cousin Bai Junchang, his uncle also had a daughter and a son. The cousin has been taught by his grandmother. The cousin is seventeen this year and is studying in Beijing Middle School No. [-] Academy.

Mrs. Bai sighed: "Yes, Junchang's funeral has delayed her, and she should be anxious at this age. Today when your aunt came, what you said inside and outside the meaning is that Xianzhen is right in our family. They don't mind having one official wife. If we, Bai and Xian, become relatives, we will be more stable in the court in the future, and it will be a good thing that the Tai Tuo can support you more."

Bai Junyu didn't comment, but asked, "What does mother think?"

Mrs. Bai smiled softly, "Your mother, I am not a well-known lady, but after all these years, including what your father told me, I also understand the situation in various situations, and it must be impossible. If it is not to avoid suspicion, Xianzhen would not have married Isn't he a cousin? Besides, it's hard to say who to support when you become an in-law, your cousin's knowledge will only hurt the relationship between our two families."

"A mother's heart is like a mirror, so the son doesn't talk too much." His mother was not born in a famous family, but she was very smart, she never took attention randomly, and she would not make a big deal.His cousin is now also a master of fishing for three days and posting on the net for two days.

"It's not good for me to directly confront your aunt and disturb the old lady. This matter is even more difficult to prevaricate. So I will only ask from the side to see if Xian's family has no intention of renewing Xian's life in the short term. You can't force it." Mrs. Bai also has plans in her heart, and now this is just a matter of inquiry and cannot be counted.But if the old lady comes forward, it will take a lot of work to perfunctory.

"In the future, I will communicate with Xianxuan, and ask him to make preparations, just in case." In this case, it is natural that his grandmother insists on going her own way, and people will refute her face, and there will definitely be trouble again.

In Dachuan, when the main wife dies, the husband is not allowed to remarry the main wife within three years, and he is also not allowed to take concubines within one year.However, if there is only one seedling in the family and the main wife has no heirs, this rule can be disobeyed, as long as the main wife does not marry within half a year.This is also considered for the continuation of the descendants, and filial piety to ancestors and elders is still ranked first.

Xian is exactly like this. Once the half-year period is over, it is normal for other people to start inquiring.

The maid brought longan, wolfberry and red dates tea, which Mrs. Bai must drink every half an hour after dinner, and it was a beauty-enhancing prescription found by General Bai.After drinking half a glass slowly, Madam Bai said again: "Recently, the news about Miss He's family has also reached my ears. I don't ask how you and Miss He are doing, but there is one thing I can't figure out."

When He Yuen was mentioned, Bai Junyu put down his chopsticks and listened carefully to his mother, "What's the matter?"

"I haven't seen Qi Xiang since he returned to Beijing, but from what you and Bai Ru said, his temperament has not changed much from before, so he must be as gentle and kind as before. Miss He also has a good reputation in Beijing, saying that she is approachable , kind and gentle. How could such two people quarrel in the street?" Mrs. Bai looked at Bai Junyu tenderly with a smile.

Bai Junyu frowned, he didn't expect this, "Perhaps... the two of them just had a small dispute, but the rumors were exaggerated, that's why it happened?"

"If that's the case, if you act as a middleman and invite them to have a meal together, the misunderstanding in the middle will be resolved naturally, won't it?" Bai Fu's speech speed has not changed, it seems that he is not trying to prove anything, but just gossiping with Bai Junyu.

Bai Junyu pursed his lips slightly, "To tell you the truth, my son went to Qi Xiang before and asked him why he was kind... Miss He quarreled, and he also acted aggressively towards his son. Maybe he has had a bad temper these years, I don't know .”

Mrs. Bai smiled and shook her head, "It's easy to change the country, but the nature is hard to change. This is not only about bad habits, but also about good temperament. Even if a kind person suffers a blow, he will still be kind to innocent people in his heart. He has no grievances with Ms. He in recent days, and he has no enmity in the past. He loses his temper with a girl and spreads gossip. But now there are more people who are against him. Is there anything you don't know about it? Jun Yu, you can't slap your hands, even if you are biased, you have to be right."

Bai Junyu was silent for a moment, then said respectfully: "What the mother taught is that the son is not doing well."

Thinking about it this way, it is true that he and Qi Xiang had quarreled before, but Qi Xiang had never been so reckless with his words, nor had he ever made such an ignorant joke, and he had never had an overnight feud.If it wasn't for Qi Xiang's temper change, it could only be because he was pushed into a hurry.

"You all grew up together. If you are still that person, don't ruin your relationship." Mrs. Bai got up and said, "Okay, you can eat by yourself. Your father should be back, I'll go See how the soup in the kitchen is cooking for him."

After seeing her mother off, Bai Junyu picked up the chopsticks again, stayed there for a while, then put them back on the table, and said to Bai Ru: "You have someone to find out what happened that day, keep a low profile, and don't let people find out. In addition, go to Pick some of the best Four Treasures of the Study from the treasury, and send them to Qi Xiang tomorrow, saying it is my apology."

Bai Ru clasped her fists in response, "Yes!"

The next day, Bai Ru went to the courtyard with her things, but she came back no matter what.

Bai Junyu looked at the untouched ceremony, and thought, "I haven't seen this kid for a few years, why is he so angry?"

On the other side, Steward Pan didn't find a chance until noon, and asked Qi Xiang: "Young master, the things that General Bai sent are all very good, and there is nothing beyond the limit. Why don't you accept them? Even if we quarreled a little earlier, General Bai I've been subdued, why don't you show me some face?"

"I'm still angry." Qi Xiang said while copying scriptures, "It's so easy to forgive everything, and my forgiveness is too worthless."

Qi Xiang didn't calm down, so Steward Pan couldn't persuade him anymore, and asked tentatively: "Then the Bai army will send something back next time, and I'll just help you back?"

Qi Xiang said lightly: "Go back."

Well, Steward Pan didn't dare to persuade him anymore, it seems that Qi Xiang is really angry this time, General Bai should do it himself!

Le Si didn't dare to neglect the play that the emperor wanted to rehearse, and the rehearsal was completed within a few days.

The emperor listened to the storyteller's book yesterday, and now he is in high spirits. Hearing that the play has been rehearsed, he invited the concubines in the harem to watch the play together.Recently, he has been worrying day and night about conscription, and he hasn't entered the harem for a long time, and it's also a favor to ask his concubines to join him.

He didn't call Yujia, followed by Eunuch Li, the emperor walked slowly to the opera pavilion, and took a look at the beautiful scenery of the imperial garden.

Walking to a bush as tall as a person, I saw two women walking swayingly in front of the fork road leading to the opera pavilion.

There are so many people in the emperor's harem, it's not very favorite or common, and you can't recognize who it is just by looking at the back.But each of them was served by only one court lady, obviously their status was not high.

Then I heard the woman in yellow say: "Sister, have you heard about it? This play was written by a servant."

The green-clothed woman nodded, "I heard that she is a slave, but I don't know anything else."

"Sister, you know that I've always been straight-tempered, and I'll just say what's on my mind. Let's go to this kind of drama, isn't that self-degrading?"

"Hey, I understand what you think. It's an elegant thing for us to listen to a story written by a literati. Even if it's good, it's always uncomfortable to listen to something written by a slave."

"My sister understands me best. If it wasn't for the fact that all the girls in the harem had gone, I would have pretended to be sick."

The woman in green patted her hand and said: "We are low-ranking, so we just go to be a companion. If you want to say that you have committed a crime, the sisters of the queen and concubine will not know how to cry. Should I laugh?"

The woman in yellow sighed: "That's right. Don't talk about us, the common people may not buy it at that time, don't just fetch water from a bamboo basket in vain."

The two women walked away slowly, but the emperor did not move.

Eunuch Li reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, it's time to move."

The emperor didn't move, and asked Eunuch Li, "What do you think about this matter?"

"The emperor has offended this servant, how can this servant understand this?" Eunuch Li bowed and waited carefully.

The emperor looked at him from the corner of his eye, "You have been with me for so many years, I know very well what skills you have, tell me."

Eunuch Li said "Hey", he understands the truth of being with the emperor like a tiger, but it is also because he has been with the emperor for more than 40 years, and he dared to say a few words, "It is normal for the palace masters to have objections." Yes, didn’t the Fourth Highness and Young Master Xian also have concerns before? This discussion is not pleasant, but it’s the reason. Now it’s just the masters whispering in private. When the play is released to the public, the discussion will definitely be much bigger than that in the palace , I’m afraid it’s even worse.”

The emperor turned the finger on his hand, "Do you think Qi Xiang, a slave, should go?"

"Hey, Your Majesty, how does this slave know?" Eunuch Li panicked and said, "This matter is up to you, Your Majesty. What this slave told you is just an ordinary person's opinion."

"Then tell me in an 'ordinary' way, should this slavery go?" Compared to others, Eunuch Li stayed by his side the longest and was also the most trusted person.For some innocuous matters, he was too lazy to let the officials argue, so he would ask Eunuch Li for his opinion.Not necessarily listening to all, but also a staff officer.

Eunuch Li thought about it for a while, and said: "The slave will have the courage to say a few words. At the beginning, Qi Xiang didn't know anything about Qi Yi. When I was studying in the palace, the servant also heard some gossip, saying that Qi Xiang's biological mother Fang was not favored in the house, Qi Xiang was not valued, and the lunch brought from home was often not as good, Mr. Xian He often gave him his own lunch. From this point of view, even if there is something wrong with Qi Yi who has his son-in-law, he should tell his son-in-law that Qi Xiang can't be ranked. Qi Xiang is now all implicated by Qi Yi's actions gone."

The emperor was noncommittal and let Eunuch Li continue.He is also a father and a son. He has experienced and is experiencing the issue of concubine sons.The result of emphasizing concubines and despising concubines is often that the concubine is a decoration in the family, whether or not it is the same.

Eunuch Li went on to say: "Now that Qi Xiang has made great achievements in drama and writing, I have given you an idea. You have always been the most soft-hearted and cherish talents. If you give him back his freedom, Qi Xiang will definitely repay his kindness and use it for you in the future. "

The emperor walked slowly.

Eunuch Li didn't know what the holy will was, so he served him more carefully.

After walking for a while, the emperor suddenly asked: "Before you said that He Shangshu's daughter had a quarrel with Qi Xiang in the street?"

Eunuch Li has not forgotten about this matter, and it is still being rumored outside, "Yes. It is said that the carriage lost control, which shocked Ms. He, and Ms. He's words were a bit harsh. Ms. He has a straight temper, but she is not out of line on weekdays. It's all gossip after dinner, the emperor doesn't care if he doesn't listen."

The emperor smiled and said: "One is a slave and the other is a lady from the official family. I'm afraid Qi Xiang will be scolded unilaterally, right? If he really retorted and made a big fuss, he would have already entered the government office."

When the emperor smiled, Eunuch Li felt relieved, and smiled and said: "The emperor has learned a lesson."

The emperor sighed, "Since he can share my worries, he is a good boy. Let's deliver the decree tomorrow morning, and reward him with writing and ink as a token of appreciation."

"The slave obeys the order!"
