Chapter 28: Hit Hard in the Face
"You say Zhennan princess to our marquis house for no reason what, come before also have to notify ah let us have a good preparation, this in case there is a lack of preparation, etiquette on the imperfect place, spread out, that is not a small thing."
The main door of the marquis house is wide open, two rows of maids standing on both sides, the main door behind the courtyard in the middle of the incense set up, above the sandalwood incense curls, the marquis house of the three wives are sitting next to the incense case, let those old maids wife non-stop out of the door towards the distance looking.
The big room Mrs. Zhao can still sit still, the second room Mrs. Fang and the third room Mrs. Rong forehead has been slightly see sweat.
Just now they heard the news that Zhennan Princess is coming to the residence, immediately up and down arrangements, clean up and reorganize, busy half a day, change the court to give the lady Feng Guanxia Phi, finally busy and good, and sitting inside the courtyard, Baba waited, and even the tea can not even care about a mouthful of soup.
Zhennan Princess is the emperor personally registered princess, so is the Prince, the title has been far above the Hou.
Of course, with the status of the Marquis of Wu Wen in the court, the general powerlessness of the princess is also really do not have to so much fanfare, but this Zhennan Princess is the actual power of the Princess, the Great Qian Dynasty also rely on the Kamikaze country to defend the southern sea. This identity is not trivial.
What's more, this Zhennan Princess is quite the empress dowager, the emperor, the empress of the favor of the people, every now and then have to be called into the palace to talk, reward things.
Even the Rong Wang House heard Zhennan Princess to go to his study, are three days in advance to prepare. Especially afraid of letting people say that the etiquette is not complete, bad Qian etiquette of the country's reputation.
So the marquis in the middle of these three "life woman" heard the news, do not dare to slow down at all. Clothes have to change into the court given the lady line, in order to show the formal.
Otherwise the gossip will be spread.
Big family, the specification that is not allowed to make half a leak.
At this time, Mrs. Rong also no longer mention let Mrs. Zhao to execute the family law on the matter of Hong Yi, there are priorities. Just this sharp-tongued woman's eyes can't help but look at the second house Mrs. Fang, the eyes are quite hostile, but let Fang Fu feel a little puzzled.
Mrs. Rong had already heard her subordinates quietly report, saying that the martial art performed by Hong Yi was Hong Xuejiao's Little Big Dipper Grappling Hand. Hong Xuejiao was the daughter of the second house.
"Hmph, although I know that your family Hong Xuejiao secretly taught Hong Yi to practice martial arts, but I am not so stupid to say it in front of Mrs. Zhao, so that in turn, there is a suspicion of provocation, anyway, the master is clear-sighted, a little look, will find out the end of the story, at that time, a seizure, hehehehe, but it can't fall on my head."
Mrs. Rong's mind calculating.
Suddenly, a guard arrived at the door and passed the word to an old mother at the door, the old mother hurriedly walked in and whispered to Lady Zhao with her head down.
Forgive Mrs. Zhao for looking calm as usual, with a graceful big woman's temperament, her face still slightly changed: "Got it."
"Sister, what's going on?"
Mrs. Fang, Mrs. Rong all asked.
"Nothing, the princess is about to walk to the door, let's go to the door to greet her." Mrs. Zhao's tone was light, as if she was forcing something down to keep it from coming out.
"Why is the princess walking? Not in a sedan chair? This is not in accordance with etiquette."
According to the rules, when the princess goes out, she has to take a large sedan chair carried by eight people, and the sedan chair also has to be wrapped with gold silk around the golden phoenix, and there are also twenty riding guards, twenty sword guards, and twenty crossbow guards around it, in order to show the royal status and style, as well as to ensure the princess's safety.
Do not take the sedan chair, without these rules to visit the marquis door, it is a little rude. So Mrs. Fang, Mrs. Zhao were a little bit unpleasant.
But when they arrived at the door, looking from afar, they understood, and the shock on their faces, completely lost the grace and elegance that a "wife" should have.
Because Zhennan Princess brought sedan chair to, side also have sword guard, crossbow guard, knight, all complete, etiquette is not a little less than half a point, but her people are walking outside, and a wearing a green shirt of the teenager side by side, laughing and joking, a very happy cheering look.
That teenager was none other than Hong Yi.
Seeing Hong Yi talking and laughing with Princess Zhennan, both Mrs. Fang and Mrs. Rong, as well as the guards, housekeepers, old maids, slave girls, and maids in the mansion were all stunned.
Just as the Zhennan Princess Luo Yun arrived at the door, the three ladies of the Marquis House first greeted each other, Mrs. Zhao then reprimanded Hong Yi, han lived in her eyes with a stern to the point of chilling cold light.
"What about Hong Yi being my friend? Mrs. Zhao, what are you talking about him for? It was still him who invited me here today. Just now I invited him to sit with me in my sedan chair, he also delayed saying that his status can't sit in the sedan chair, and what's more inconvenient to say a whole lot, I want to talk to him, so I got out of the sedan chair and came myself. If madam wants to talk, talk about me, don't talk about Hong Yi, he is my good friend."
Princess Luo Yun of Zhennan spoke, winking at Lady Zhao.
"How would the destined lady dare to say that the princess is not." Lady Zhao hastily crouched down and compensated with a salute, Lady Fang Lady Rong's old maids all followed suit with plugged-in salutes.
"Don't be so ceremonial, I'm getting a little dizzy. By the way, I heard from Hong Yi that the Luang Huan bookstore in the middle of Lord Wu Wen Hou's residence has a very rich collection of books, I've heard all over the country that Lord Wu Wen Hou is a rare hero in the world, and I admire him so much that I want to view his bookstore today, I wonder if Lady Zhao can let me read?"
Luo Yun brought up the book collection, the flavor of excitement on her face was not even concealed, making people feel even more naive about her words.
"It would be a great honor for Mistress Fate to have the pleasure." Lady Zhao hurriedly said, then commanded, "Frost, Tong'er, you each bring twenty maids into the study to tidy up, and wait for me to accompany the princess in after she finishes her tea."
"No need yet, Hong Yi help me to introduce is just, reading should be quiet, also don't need many people to wait around, Hong Yi and I still want to talk." Luo Yun said.
"Don't dare to disobey the princess." Lady Zhao crouched down again.
A group of people then cupped Luo Yun like stars to the main hall of the marquis residence to have tea.
Hong Yi as the person who invited Luo Yun, also for the first time in the marquis mansion main hall in the middle of the position, see a large group of eyes staring at him surprised old maids, maids, slave girls surprised eyes, as well as Mrs. Fang's doubt, Mrs. Rong's shocked anger, heart just cold smile, but does not move.
Mrs. Zhao's eyes have turned calm, her demeanor is still graceful, no one can see clearly what she is thinking in her heart.
However, this state especially made Hong Yi's heart alert.
Today, Mrs. Zhao set out to cast a family law on Hong Yi, but did not expect that Hong Yi actually called Princess Zhennan as a guest, so that she had no place to attack, but also had to honestly light incense and change clothes to greet.
This was simply a naked damage to Mrs. Zhao's prestige amongst the Marquis!
"Mother, today, although I borrowed the power of Princess Zhennan, but at least I also swept a handful of Mrs. Zhao's face, I hope that you can be comforted in heaven, although I know that this kind of trouble is not shallow, but the child has its own alternative way." Hong Yi said silently in his heart.
"Tea is finished, Mrs. Zhao is really disturbed today, Hong Yi, accompany me to read a book." Luo Yun stood up and couldn't wait.
"Princess can come anytime, the words of disturbing really make the destined lady careless and terrified." Lady Zhao hurriedly stood up, then said to Hong Yi, "Hong Yi, serve the princess well, don't be slow."
"Yes." Hong Yi was respectful and couldn't pick half a fault in his manners, then led Luo Yun to go.
"Sister, this ........ This is simply too bold!" When Hong Yi and the princess had gone before, Mrs. Rong called out.
"I will report this matter to the Marquis, and when the princess leaves, I will carry out the family law as usual." Lady Zhao raised her hand and stopped Lady Rong from speaking.
Just then, the sound of footsteps outside the door came again, it turned out to be Luo Yun who went and returned.
"Princess, why are you back again? Aren't you reading?" Mrs. Zhao stood up again.
"I was suddenly reminded of something that I want to talk to Mrs. Zhao about." Luo Yun suddenly said, "A few days ago, I was in the palace talking to the Empress Dowager, Concubine Yuan and the others, and Concubine Yuan said that she was homesick, and saw that during the Chinese New Year and festivals, those noble concubines were able to go home to their relatives, and that she was oddly lonely, so she wanted to recognize a relative. The Empress Dowager also knows that the Yuan Fei Niang is Yuan Tujia married to the country, in the Yu Jing have no relatives, lonely, but also very agree, so let the Yuan Fei Niang see recognize which relatives, Yuan Fei Niang said Marquis Wu Wen's great name shocked the Yuan Tujia, would like to recognize this relative, the Empress Dowager agreed, may be two days after the decree. Consort Yuan and County Princess Yongchun chatted about having heard of Hong Yi's poetic talent, and would like to meet him then as well."
Hearing these words, all the people in the hall froze.
