Chapter 46 Beauty
Half of the golden ginkgo leaves have fallen, and the setting sun shines through the yard on the small golden fans. When the wind blows, they flutter and sway in the wind, like a group of exquisite dancers hanging on the trees.
Han narrowed his eyes and looked at the tree, then raised his head and drank a glass of wine.
"Changkei, if I had known that Niece Shen had good wine here, I would have come on horseback long ago without my sister-in-law begging."
A few pig ear threads went into her mouth, and she squinted her eyes: "The bad pig ears also taste very good. Oh my, niece Shen, what kind of life are you living? If you had known, I would also be looking for some peace and quiet outside the city. Zhuangzi stays here and lets the maids and maids take care of him. He raises a few beautiful little beauties and eats side dishes and drinks wine every day. No one is as comfortable as I am!"
After saying that, she put down her chopsticks and pulled Liu Tianxing, who was standing beside her, closer to her: "How old are you this year? These hands are so tender."
Zhao Surui frowned and pinched Liu Tianxing's sleeves and pulled them back. He looked Han up and down and began to wonder if his uncle was here in the skin of his aunt.
Seeing "Shen Shiqing" protecting the little girl, Han waved her hands and still smiled: "I'm just taking a look, why are you nervous? This little girl is clumsy at first glance. Niece Shen, please hurry up and take care of you." Find out the maid who cooks and mixes wine and show it to Aunt Han. The maid who brought me in just now is also pretty good. She knows books and etiquette. How did you teach her?"
Mr. Han has a good appearance, willow-leaf eyebrows and a lotus face, and a pair of eyes that are born with smiles. When looking at people, they are more approachable. Zhao Surui can't help but feel a little defensive when he sees them.
It's not because his little aunt showed any great skills, but because the last woman with two faces really made him suffer.
That's right, it was Shen Sanchi who occupied his body and pretended to be the emperor!
"Aunt Han is like this, I don't dare to let Aunt Han look at my maid again.
"I'm not doing much either!" Han said with a hint of wine dizziness on her face, "Why, just allow these men to hang out among the flowers and like these beautiful little ladies and girls, but women can't like them too? You are so pedantic at a young age, but you are not as generous as your mother. Your mother trained these maids for you, right? I still remember that there used to be a maid named Chuiyun by your mother's side. She had a beautiful figure and slender figure. She has black waist and hair, and is said to be able to settle accounts. Oh my God, I really can’t find anyone in Yanjing who is better at teasing little maids than your mother."
So my little aunt said that she had an affair with Shen Sanfei's mother because she molested her little maid, right?
Zhao Surui suddenly found it interesting.
It is said that his younger uncle was also somewhat talented back then, but he failed the imperial examinations many times when he was young, so he moved to the Qinlou Chu Hall and became a "famous scholar", using the salary he gave him to engage in the business of prostitutes. If he had known that his wife was a little maid who was more playful and playful than him, and always looked at other people's maids without blinking due to her status, she wouldn't have known about the smell of his powdered face. Will the pig head make its eyes pop out?
"Niece Shen, what are you looking at? Drinking and eating!"
Zhao Surui held the small wine cup and said with a smile: "I was just wondering, does Uncle Xiao Guo know that Aunt Han is like this?"
"He, how does he know about beauty? He is just a mediocre person who is obsessed with appearances. What can he see when he goes to a brothel every day? It's just some vulgar powder! How different is it from me, who goes to the British official's house today and the general's house tomorrow? , I see different beauties every day, and I know a lot more than him! To see a beauty, you have to look at the bones, just like you, my eldest niece..."
Raising her hand and pointing three fingers at "Shen Shiqing's" face, Han said with a smile: "The brow bones are beautiful but not delicate, and the line from the cheekbones to the jawbone is like a stroke of a pen. There is no fault in it, including the nose bone." It's even more upright. My eldest niece, your face is suitable for both happiness and anger. If it weren't for some unruly aura suppressing you, and you don't like to use rouge and pink, tsk tsk tsk... I'm afraid you would have become a disaster."
Am I being teased?
Zhao Surui's face gradually stiffened as he looked at his increasingly arrogant little aunt.
Han was so drunk that he supported his chin with his hand and smiled at "Shen Shiqing".
"Good niece, don't be angry. My aunt tells you that that idiot Cao Fengxi is in for a big disaster. Recently, everyone in and around Yanjing is saying that His Majesty is more unpredictable than before. Only that idiot of his thought that he would beg the Queen Mother. I can control His Majesty. In the past, His Majesty was willing to give the Queen Mother a favor because he put his son's identity first. But if we really talk about it, it is His Majesty who is the emperor. The emperor is the root and the root of the world. It is also the root of the Cao family. Without the emperor, the queen mother is no longer the queen mother, so who is Cao Fengxi?"
The woman's tone was particularly contemptuous, and the sleeves of her long coat fell down, revealing a section of her arm, with a gold bracelet encrusted with silk and jewels.
After hearing her words, Zhao Surui smiled indifferently.
He is the king of a country, and the Cao family is his mother's natal family, so they should live a more liberal life. Unfortunately, the Cao family always feels that what he gives is not enough, even his mother does.
"Aunt Han, you said that Marquis Shoucheng has offended His Majesty? Where do you start with this?"
Han drank and said with a smile: "The day before yesterday, His Majesty issued a decree to check the shad tribute expenses over the years, abolish the shad tribute, and then check the accounts of various places in Taipus Temple. It is clearly stated that officials from various places have touched Taipus Temple's money. If you make up the debt within a few days, you will be given a lighter sentence. If you are still stubborn after fifteen days, you will have to try our majesty's knife. But Cao Fengxi's big straw bag still needs to be raised, and others haven't said anything yet. , he ran to complain to the Queen Mother, and asked the Queen Mother to pressure Her Majesty to forgive his debt."
As he said this, Han himself shook his head.
Stupid, so stupid. When Cao Yuanrun came to tell her, she felt that if Cao Fengxi's head was chopped off and thrown into a bucket, the night incense collector would be disgusted.
She looked up and saw "Shen Shiqing" dumbfounded. She smiled and said, "Niece, I told you, just wait for Cao Fengxi to be in trouble. There is no need to take her to heart."
Little did she know that although Cao Fenxi's stupidity was surprising, what really stunned "Shen Shiqing" was "His Majesty"'s order to investigate the accounts of Taipu Temple.
Shen Sanbai! Shen Shiqing! How dare she!?
The day before yesterday! The decree of the world before yesterday? Zhao Surui suddenly stood up from his chair.
The last time the two of them had a heart-to-heart talk was the night before yesterday, which meant that Shen Sanfai had already made up his mind to investigate the accounts of Taipu Temple at that time!
How dare she? Who the hell is she? She is just a loser who occupies a magpie's nest. She can not only paint, mix incense, paint, make mutton noodles, mix gunpowder, teach people to read and write, but also knows a few things about others. Little tricks that he didn't understand, little tricks that were pretentious and double-dealing... She actually dared to use the power that belonged to him!
The furious Emperor Zhaode paced back and forth in the corridor, his eyes red.
He is the emperor!
He! is! the emperor!
Seeing "Shen Shiqing" suddenly acting violently, Han looked at her with a pair of drunken eyes:
"My eldest niece, even if I can't really beat Cao Fengxi, it's not a big deal. I think you're a very good steward of the servants..."
Zhao Surui couldn't hear what Han was saying at all. He took a deep breath to calm down his overwhelming anger, and when he sat down on the chair again, his expression was no different from usual.
"Since Uncle Da Guo is in danger, I can't settle this small debt with him."
"Don't forget it, don't forget it." Mrs. Han waved her hand, "My sister-in-law gave me five thousand taels of silver and a cart full of good medicinal materials. I can talk to him in Beijing, and Ning'an's residence now also You are living a miserable life. In a few days, I will go to the palace and speak to the queen on your behalf, letting her make the decision for you to reconcile with that worthless boy from the Xie family. From now on, you can just take the money and continue to raise this little beauty here, right? Happy as a god?"
Hearing what she said, Zhao Surui's eyebrows moved.
"Why did Aunt Han say the queen and not the queen mother?"
"Don't mention it, my sister-in-law is also a fool. She lived well with the late emperor and thought that all women in the world are as lucky as her. Women suffer, but when it comes to her mouth, they become women who don't appreciate blessings and don't know what to expect. Give her the blessing and let her take it or not. But the queen is kind-hearted, courageous, and clear-minded. If you tell her this kind of thing, she will probably agree."
Zhao Surui lowered his eyes, with a genuine smile on his face:
"Aunt Han, to tell you the truth, I really want to have nothing to do with Uncle Ning'an's house. If you can do this for me, I will be very grateful."
"How can this be considered help? I already told you that this is what the Cao family owes you."
Seeing the beauty lowering her eyes, Han's heart softened and she couldn't help but raise her hand and pat "Shen Shiqing" on the shoulder.
Zhao Surui grinned in his heart, and suppressed gratitude on his face:
"Then I will write a letter and ask Aunt Han to forward it to the Queen."
"Okay, okay, you go and write!"
Zhao Surui raised his head and summoned Achi to enter the study with her, and ordered: "Write... all those painful things to the queen."
When Ah Chi heard this, he was filled with joy and quickly agreed.
Zhao Surui stood aside, his eyes dark.
Now that Shen Sanfai has taken possession of her body, he has the upper hand. If he wants to regain the throne, he must use "surprise weapons".
Queen Lin Miaozhen is his unique weapon.
Everyone in the world may only look at the skin of "Emperor Zhaode", but only Lin Miaozhen, in her eyes, "Emperor Zhaode" will always be "younger brother".
A Chi's writing skills were taught by Shen Shiqing. A letter was written eloquently and in less than half an hour. Every word is sincere and every sentence is touching and sensible.
The first part talks about the pain of losing one's father and mother, the middle one talks about the loneliness and pain in Ning'an Bo's house these years, and the last one talks about the plea to the queen,
Zhao Surui read it hastily, picked up his pen and added a sentence at the end of the letter:
"I just ask for the fragrance of water to bring autumn and lift the beauty, and Lin Lan to be close to the snow and bloom.*"
Shaking the letter paper in his hand, when the letter was dry, he folded it with his own hands and put it into the envelope.
Mr. Han drank enough wine, finished scolding Cao Fengxi and scolded the Cao family, and left with the letter in his arms.
Zhao Surui stood in the courtyard watching her leave, and finally couldn't help the anger in his chest.
Shen Sancai! Shen Sancai! Do you really think you are the emperor?! In the past, I saw that you were pitiful and didn't care about you, but now you are wielding imperial power rashly. When you come back, don't blame me for exterminating all nine of your clans and raising them to ashes. !
Hateful to the extreme, Zhao Surui looked around and said angrily:
"Where is Xie Fengan? Is he dead?"
Of course Xie Fengan was not dead. Tunan, who was guarding the courtyard gate, looked at the furious "own girl" and said in a soft voice:
"Girl, Xie Feng'an is beaten eight times a day and is tortured in various ways by Cui Jinniang. It really cannot be punished any more."
After glaring at Tunan, Zhao Surui flicked his sleeves:
"Go and stew some Dongpo pork for me!"
If he can't hit people, he will make Sanfei Shen's body fat to death! What kind of beauty is there? When Sanfei Shen changes his body, she will be a fat person!
