Chapter 24 The Second Invitation
Xie Ze went to the steps of Yanfu Hall and was facing the prince who came out of the hall.
Xie Ze took a step away from him and bowed to him.
The prince quickly stepped down the steps and turned his head to the inside of the hall, "Shangshu Xie is talking about things."
"Yes." Xie Ze nodded softly, turned sideways and walked over to the prince and went into the two short duty rooms next to him.
After waiting for a moment, I watched Shangshu Xie come out of Yanfu Palace and walk away. Xie Ze came out of the on-duty room and went into Yanfu Palace.
The emperor was lying on his face full of worries, leaning back on the pillow, looking weak.
Hearing the eunuch's message, the emperor straightened his upper body, rubbed his eyebrows with his two fingers, looked at Xie Ze and said worriedly: "Did you just arrived or did you wait for Xie Ling to leave before coming in?"
Xie Ze lowered his eyes and did not answer the emperor's words.
The emperor sighed repeatedly, "Okay, okay, I don't care about your idle business, so that your prince will not let you down again. Is there something wrong? Is it a good thing or a troublesome thing? If it's a troublesome thing, I will be exhausted when I go to find your prince."
"It's the girl from Chang'an Marquis' Mansion." Xie Ze hesitated, and it seemed that it was a good thing or a troublesome thing.
"Well, tell me! Sit down and say." The emperor sat upright.
"She left the mansion just at noon today, went directly to the tile in Xicheng and entered the peony shed. I followed her to take a look." Xie Ze sat on the brocade stool pointed at him by the emperor.
"What's the fun of the peony shed?" The emperor raised his eyebrows.
"Tao Nong." Xie Ze's answer was extremely concise.
"Tao Nong is still in the Double Happiness Class?" The emperor looked even more excited.
"yes."
"The double wedding class is just the one who attracts customers. What about those who attract customers? Is she on stage? She saw it? Tell me quickly and talk about it carefully."
"Yes, I saw it all, from attracting the guest to take off his hair, smiling, and taking off to the last one, laughing loudly."
"Uh." The emperor uttered loudly, "Laugh?"
"yes."
The emperor uttered again, "Laugh! She kept watching? Not ashamed? Didn't cover her face? Still laughing?"
"yes."
The emperor raised his eyebrows high, and for a moment, laughing loudly, "Laugh! This little girl is interesting. What about Tao Nong? How did she look when she saw Tao Nong?"
"I looked straight." Xie Ze paused, with a little disgust, "I saliva."
The emperor burst out loud and laughed again, and while laughing, he patted the kang, "Sausage! This little girl! Interesting. This is not like Mingshui at all. Why does Mingshui say that peaches are thick? A piece of black charcoal?"
Xie Zeduan sat straight, expressionless.
"This is really unusual, what happened later? Where did she go?"
The emperor was very excited and faced Xie Ze's gaze that was obviously disagreeing with him, and waved his hand and said, "You child, first, don't be like Mingshui, a human-shaped wood is so boring. Second, don't learn from your prince. He is the king, and you are not.
Tell me quickly, where has she been?"
"Zhou E has been following her..." Xie Ze lowered his eyelids and began to talk about serious matters.
"You tell the prince these things, I am exhausted. Even if you are filial to your prince, tell me, where has she been?" The emperor interrupted Xie Ze's business.
"After Tao Nong, she listened to two more songs, left the Peony Shed, and went straight back to Chang'an Marquis' Mansion."
"Go back directly." The emperor seemed a little disappointed, "She left the house every day these days. Do you think she will go to see Tao Nong again tomorrow? After all, her saliva will be dripping!" The emperor said, slapped the table again and laughed.
"have no idea."
"I could see it with my own eyes..." The emperor looked yearning.
"Emperor..." Xie Ze stood up and was about to kneel down.
"Get up!" The emperor waved to Xie Ze, "I know, I just said that I didn't plan to go. Alas, I don't want to see your prince slamming the table with me again.
Let’s stare at me. If she goes again, see clearly and come back quickly and talk to me.”
"Yes." Xie Ze did not sit down again.
"Go and go, let's talk to your prince to the serious business."
"Yes." Xie Ze responded, lowered his hand and took a few steps back. Just as he was about to turn around, the emperor called him again and said, "Aze, the past has passed, and there are many happy and wonderful things in the world. Don't always do this."
"Yes." After a moment of silence, Xie Ze replied softly.
"Oh, go and go." The emperor looked at Xie Ze, feeling helpless and heartbroken.
………………………………………
Early the next morning, Li Ran was still having breakfast. The second grandma Cao's wet nurse, Madam Yuan, brought an old lady in with an old lady, and smiled with her knees: "Miss, this is Madam Yang of the Cao family, and she sent it to the third sister of the Cao family."
After saying this, Madam Yuan turned half a step to the side, not preparing to talk more.
The Yang Madam from Cao's Mansion hurriedly stepped forward and smiled, "Please beg my daughter, my third wife and fourth wife sent the little woman to invite the girl to come and have tea in the mansion."
Li Ran put down her chopsticks, looked at Madam Yuan and asked, "What are you?"
She only knew the servants in this mansion who were extremely limited, such as Madam Qian and Qiuyue. The person in front of her looked a little familiar, but she only looked familiar.
Madam Yuan was stunned and uttered a sudden sound before she realized, "I... I... the maid is working in the second grandma's yard, and she is the second grandma's dowry nurse."
"Submit Yuan." Madam Yang was even more stunned than Madam Yuan. The blurted out sentence of the surname Yuan was so perfect.
"Your second grandma's surname is Cao..." Li Ran said to herself. The second grandma's surname is Cao, and she seemed to have heard a sentence somewhere.
Madam Yuan’s face is about to turn blue. It’s okay if she doesn’t know her. Could it be that she doesn’t even know what her second grandmother’s surname is?
Impossible! This is slapping them in the face in person.
Madam Yang's eyes widened. Is this girl stupid or too powerful?
"Is it my second grandma's home?" Li Ran asked looking at Madam Yang.
"Yes." Madam Yang answered very quickly. She actually didn't react much. This one was completely an instinctive reaction.
"The third and fourth wife are the second grandma's dear sister? Cousin?" Li Ran continued.
"The third lady is the second grandma's relative's sister, and the fourth lady is the second grandma's cousin, and they are all the sisters. The Cao family has not yet separated." Madam Yuan replied.
She realized it now, and couldn't say whether she was angry or something else, but in short, the breath was in chaos.
"Well, is it far away?" Li Ran understood and thought about it. She should have a cup of tea.
Madam Yuan was stunned by her words, "What does it mean?" What does it mean?
Madam Yang understood a little, but she wasn't sure.
"How far is Cao's Mansion from here? Near or farther than Hejian County Prince's Mansion?" Li Ran explained a few words. One of the two in front of him was stunned, and the other one was stunned, obviously not understanding what she meant.
Madam Yuan immediately understood this explanation, and as soon as she understood it, her face began to turn pale.
Madam Yang's eyes flashed with pity, and she hurriedly smiled and said, "It's not too far. She just thought that the girl had arrived at our mansion for the first time. She was afraid that the girl would not be familiar with the road, so our third lady prepared a car and ordered the little woman to wait for the girl to come over."
Li Ran understood and nodded, "Okay, can you please wait for me for a while, I'll finish breakfast."
"Yes... the girl, the little woman has no eyes, the little woman is waiting in the second door."
Madam Yang's face turned red and her words were a little messy when Li Ran said this.
When she came in just now, she saw Li Ran having a meal, and she felt it was inappropriate.
If this is when they are driving their ladies and girls to have dinner at their mansion, let alone bringing the mother-in-law in the house, they are just in charge of the affairs of their own mansion and are not very good at going forward, and before they can speak, they will have to slap their mouths first.
Madam Yang followed Madam Yuan out of the Cuiweiju courtyard gate and walked out for about ten steps. Madam Yang slowly exhaled, but before she could speak, she sighed first, "Oh, this guy, what a monster."
"You have learned it yourself?" Madam Yuan glanced at Madam Yang, then sighed, "She has such a temper and that identity, and has the emperor and the prince today and a command tomorrow, and keeps going. What else do you think we old lady and wife can do? We can only follow her. We can't blame us old lady and wife for this matter."
"Yes, but in this mansion..." Madam Yang laughed dryly, "She is still having a meal. If the girl dares to take us in, aren't she afraid of this girl getting angry?"
"She has never had any sex before. Qiuyue said that she usually looks like making tea or something. If the girls didn't see it for a while, she would make it herself. When the tea was cold, she would add some heat by herself. Oh, she was a poor person."
At the end of the talk, Madam Yuan felt sad.
"Oh." Madam Yang sighed.
"What did the Cao family suddenly ask for this? "The two of them walked silently for a while, and Madam Yuan asked softly.
"That's not, it's the old lady. If you say yes, it's not good to wait for your hair to speak. Our mansion and such relatives, in theory, should have welcomed this girl or something."
Madam Yang also lowered her voice. She was the confidant who was serving the old lady and knew it clearly.
"Is this a welcome? Is it the old lady who came forward? That's why you came here to pick it up?" Madam Yuan was surprised.
"Look at what you said, are there any people in the capital who welcome her? There is no one in the family. Can our old lady be ahead and be one of them?
This is the gathering of the sisters of the third wife and the fourth wife, just like the one invited by the eldest wife of the Huo family."
Madam Yang gave Madam Yuan a blank look.
It seems that the Chang'an Marquis Mansion is indeed a simple population and nothing is wrong. She has been with her second grandmother for the past few years, but she has not had much scruples, and it seems that she is still less than before.
"I'm here because the old lady is afraid that others will be inappropriate. Think about it, I'm bringing a car to the door. This is a matter of slapping the face and offending people. The old lady doesn't want to offend the old lady and the wife in your house, and it will make things difficult for your second grandma." Madam Yang explained a few more words.
"Yes, you can only come forward to this matter so well. How good did you say those words in front of our old lady and her husband?"
Madam Yuan looked admiring.
