MTL - A Complete Explanation of the Negative Textbooks of the Imperial Examination-Chapter 97 Fenghou

She sighed, not wanting to pursue the fault of the maid, but grabbed the little maid who reported the letter and asked, "What you said is true, are you sure you didn't hear it wrong?"

"It's absolutely true, I heard that Princess Ganning said it at the celebration banquet, and now it's spread outside!"

The old lady felt very psychedelic: "Why..."

"It seems that because Dalangjun made a great contribution in this northern expedition, Princess Ganning and the saint were overjoyed, and Dalangjun was named Marquis of Chengxi."

Mrs. Xiao fell down and sat down in despair, her back also hunched up: "The rumor has nose and eyes, it seems to be true... Also, at that time, the eldest cousin was named Hou because of his military exploits. It can be said that they are father and son…”

One house and two princes! And the second room has no official position, only Xiao Jinghu grabbed the place in the shadow and sent it to Yiwei to be on duty.

Mrs. Xiao felt a dull pain in her heart when she thought of this. If Zhao Xiulan hadn't intervened, she would have married Xiao Ying smoothly, and all the glory and wealth would be hers!

The old lady was also stunned, and she muttered to herself: "It's even a marquis, doesn't that mean that Duoer and Dalang are now on an equal footing? Are there any differences among these marquis? "..." The more the old lady thought about it, the more uncomfortable she became, and she waved her hand to call the little girl over, "You are usually smart, so go take a look at their courtyard, what do the people in the court say now?"

The little maid next to the old lady poked her head to the Qingze Courtyard. At this time, there were many servants looking for news outside the courtyard. The inner servant was talking: "...The bookmaking of the official seal has been handed over to the Ministry of Rites, and it will be officially canonized in a few days. It is a problem where to send the bookmaking. Originally, the princess has been optimistic about the place, but the house has not lived in it for a long time. If it is allocated to Cheng Marquis Xi, there must be a few repairs to be done, and I'm afraid I can't move it in a while."

Xiao Jingduo stood opposite the inner servant and said, "There is no need to be so anxious, Wenzong has not yet passed the taboo, so there is no need to carry out major construction projects."

Hearing Xiao Jingduo say this, the expression on the servant's face became more gentle, and the corners of his eyes even smiled: "Marquis Chengxi really has a heart."

"This is the duty of a courtier."

"The princess also instructed that the Marquis Chengxi has made a great contribution in this trip and will be rewarded heavily. The Marquis Chengxi's mansion is already being repaired. Man, I specially gave 100 slaves and maids. Originally, the slaves should have brought these 100 people out of the palace this time, but it is not a trivial matter for 100 people to eat and live. Trouble. That's why His Highness said, first divide 20 people over to listen to the dispatch of the Marquis of Chengxi, wait a few days after the mansion of the Marquis of Chengxi is repaired, and the rest will be sent directly to the mansion of the new marquis. "

Five hundred households were sealed, two thousand pieces of silk were given, and now another hundred slaves were given.

Before the expedition, Rong Ke once said frankly that Xiao Jingduo did not need to reveal his identity, and even avoided the makeup ceremony. At that time, there was still rain in the sky, Xiao Jingduo said nothing, just in the court a few days later Open fight. Now that Xiao Jingduo came back victorious, Rong Ke didn't explain what happened that day, but just replaced the next reward and scheduling with the best one, and gave him complete trust.

I voted for papaya and reciprocated with Qiongyao, many words do not need to be said.

After Xiao Jingduo brought people to thank him, he heard the inner servant who passed the decree say: "The conferring of the marquis will be held in the new mansion, so there is no need to prepare in the mansion of the Marquis of Dingyong. This is the palace The famous Qinghan girl has seen the canonization ceremonies of many nobles and concubines, she must be familiar with these, if the Marquis of Chengxi is not sure about the process of the ceremony, you might as well ask Qinghan."

It is self-evident who the father-in-law is, Xiao Jingduo sighed silently, Rong Ke can really hold grudges.

There are a lot of things that Xiao Jingduo can't say, but through the mouth of his father-in-law, he can beat these people in Dingyong Hou's mansion. Of course, Xiao Jingduo knew how many servants and servants there were outside the courtyard to inquire about news. Eunuch Chuanzhi was a winner from the palace. There are also protests.

The father-in-law saw the intention and sent it, and he was almost ready to put it away, gathered up his sleeves and prepared to say goodbye. Xiao Jingduo and the people in the palace were talking politely, and the little maid outside the door saw that there was nothing new and ran away quietly.

In Fu'an Garden, Wu Junru heard the news from the maid, and leaned on the table in a daze: "Five hundred households were sealed, 2,000 pieces of silk were produced, and a new mansion was given..."

The price of raw silk is very stable in the market, and it has always been used as a currency. Giving 2,000 pieces of silk is giving money, but the exchange of money is trivial. What really matters is Xiao Jingduo's title and his new mansion.

Giving silk is customary, and what can truly reflect a person's status in the minds of the superiors is the gift of residence. Wu Junru suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, and asked with luck, "Where is his new mansion?"

Numbers, it was the first batch of Marquis who was named Marquis back then, didn't he also get a house in the practice workshop? Although Dalang Jun got Marquis, he must not be able to find any good house, let alone compare with our Marquis Mansion. ."

Wu Junru leaned on the cushion wearily and said, "I hope..."

She stared blankly, not knowing what she was thinking, but her expression became more and more anxious. After a while, Wu Junru couldn't help standing up and asked, "Where is Lord Shiro?"

"Lang Jun just left school and is writing."

The maid said this logically, Wu Junru should feel relieved, but Wu Junru had great expectations for Xiao Jingye, and still felt restless when she heard this. "No, I have to see it myself."

Wu Junru took a group of maids out and walked straight to Ningyuan Courtyard. Ningyuan Courtyard was the best courtyard in the Hou Mansion except for Gao Shou Tang and Fu'an Courtyard. By default, it was the place where the prince lived. Xiao Jingye could live here, which showed his status in the Xiao family.

Wu Junru used to be proud that her son could live in the Prince’s Courtyard, but Xiao Jingduo, the nominal eldest son, was excluded from the remote Qingze Garden, but now she can see the door of Ningyuan Courtyard from a distance , but there was a sense of irritability in the bottom of my heart.

What's the use of living in the best yard, Xiao Jingduo now has to separate households and live in another mansion, and her son doesn't even have a name!

Wu Junru stepped into the main entrance and saw her son sitting on the fence at a glance, talking and laughing with the servants. The evil fire in Wu Junru's heart immediately entered her forehead, and she blurted out a reprimand: "Xiao Jingye, what are you doing!"

Hearing his mother's voice, Xiao Jingye stood up quickly and said anxiously, "I finished the homework assigned by the master, and came out to breathe..."

"What are you breathing, I see that you are clearly playful!" Wu Junru's round eyes swept around, the voice was not loud but creepy, "I want to see, who is Dare to delay my son. Say, who encouraged Shiro-kun to come out and play?"

Seeing Wu Junru's appearance, the servant girl backed away in fright, and lowered her head, not daring to breathe. Hearing her question, the servants became more and more trembling, and they knelt down in the yard with a clatter.

Xiao Jingye was anxious when he saw this scene: "Mother, it's none of their business, I want to come out!"

Wu Junru still angrily glanced at the people underground. She knew that her son, Xiao Jingye, was not a playful person, and these words were obviously protecting someone. Thinking of this, Wu Junru became more and more angry. Her son was her all hope. Since she was three years old, she had taught strictly and did not dare to relax for a moment. Now, someone even made him have fun and let Xiao Jingye speak out to protect her. How could Wu Junru bear it? the existence of such a person.

"Mother!" Xiao Jingye shouted anxiously, but Wu Junru ignored it, determined to find the black sheep. The yard was deadlocked, and a girl's voice came from the door: "I just went out for a while, what's wrong?"

Seeing the person who came, Xiao Jingye felt as if he was amnesty: "Sixth sister, you are here!"

Wu Junru frowned: "Yuya, why are you here?"

. Xiao Yuying is Xiao Ying's concubine, and Wu Junru has never been very popular with her. Now that she sees her niece attacking a servant in Xiao Jingye's yard, she wishes that Wu Junru would turn a blind eye to her, and why would she care that Wu Junru did not call her name.

"

When Xiao Yuya heard what was going on, she stomped her feet anxiously: "Mother, it's not what you thought, I called my fourth brother out to play!"

"It turned out to be you?" Wu Junru was also surprised, and immediately hated it, "You clearly know that your fourth brother is important to study, but you still delay his time? I really dote on you. It's broken, I don't even know how serious it is."

"Mother!" Xiao Yuya is different from Xiao Jingye, she has been doted on since childhood, and her temperament is quite savage, and now she dares to shout at Wu Junru in front of everyone, "I'm just here to give ice to the fourth brother. Just drinking, and I didn't take him to play with me!"

Wu Junru was quite helpless to her youngest daughter, so she pressed her eyebrows and said, "It's okay, it's not an example. Jingye, you should go back and read."

Xiao Jingye bowed to Wu Junru and went back to the house obediently, not daring to argue a word. Wu Junru Xu felt that she was too strict with her son, and added: "I am doing this for your own good, and you will understand when you grow up."

"You keep saying this..." Xiao Yuya muttered in a low voice, "Fourth brother is already very tired every day, what do you want from him..."

"Yuya!" Wu Junru called out, and Xiao Yuya lowered her head in dissatisfaction. Wu Junru took Xiao Yuya out and said as she walked, "You can't make a tool without a jade, you believe me, after all, I have a lot of knowledge. If you study and study according to my method, the benefits will be in the future!"

"Like Da Langjun?" A little maid said to herself, unknowingly speaking out of her heart. She quickly realized that something was wrong and quickly covered her mouth.

Xiao Yuying glared at her maid angrily, and quickly stepped forward to apologize to Wu Junru: "Mother, I didn't mean it, it's the maid who doesn't take care of herself, it has nothing to do with me..."

Xiao Yuying retired in a hurry. After only Wu Junru and Xiao Yuya were left, Wu Junru taught her daughter sincerely: "Yuya, people are separated from each other, in such a big mansion, only you and Jingye are brothers and sisters, except for the mother and four brothers, no one can be trusted. ,do you know?"

"I know." Xiao Yuya said, "I didn't treat those two concubines as sisters, I just asked them to accompany me for fun."

"That's it, no one can be trusted, only Aniang and Jingye are your backers. In the future, you should listen to your mother when you talk about your relatives. Mother has seen many things, and only mother is the one who truly cares for you. Good. And you are not allowed to disturb Jingye's studies in the future. Only when he is in high school and becomes a high-ranking official in the future can you support your husband's family. If you rely on others, don't even think about it."

This is not difficult for others to guess, Xiao Yuya paused for a while and asked: "Mother, is it really useful for the fourth brother to study according to your method? Will it be better than... in the future? "

Obviously Xiao Yuya also knew that, her eldest brother was both civil and military, and he entered the office as a scholar, but now he has made great achievements in the Turkic battlefield, and he is even more relied on this.

When someone else's elder brother achieves such an achievement, he may be so proud when he goes out as a guest! She is the only one who was taught by Wu Junru not to approach Xiao Jingduo since she was a child, Xiao Jingduo would kill them sooner or later, and Xiao Yuya couldn't get close to this eldest brother no matter what. Not only is he not close, but Xiao Yuya is sometimes afraid. This eldest brother has risen all the way, and now he has become the Marquis of Chengxi, almost on an equal footing with his father. Will he deal with their brothers and sisters in the future?

Not only Wu Junru, but also the old lady thought sourly, Xiao Jingduo suddenly became a prince, and the location of the mansion must be bad. What about the house bestowed by the emperor, it is not remote and cramped. There are not a few people in Chang'an who have this idea. When the plaque was put up in the Chengxihou mansion, many people slapped the table in shock, especially the Cui family.

Rong Ke actually gave the mansion in Jing'an Fang! Empress Dowager Cui has been looking for it for a long time. After comparing, she liked the most unused mansion in Jing'anfang. She thought that this mansion was reserved for King Zheng to be the palace! Chang'an dignitaries are well aware of this, and they avoid Jing'an Fang when they ask for rewards, so that this spacious and important mansion can stay forever. But who would know that Queen Mother Cui had been guarding for so long, and seeing that King Zheng was about to discuss marriage, Rong Ke actually gave the palace that King Zheng had appointed to someone?

Queen Cui was furious at that time, she went to look for Rong Ke aggressively, and found out that Rong Ke had left the palace to go to the princess' mansion. Her dignified queen mother could not chase out of the palace, so she could only get angry with the people in the Ministry of Industry. The people in the Ministry of Industry are also bitter, what is the princess doing, is it their turn to stop it?

Rong Ke did something extraordinary, he kept it a secret before, when the plaque of the Chengxihou Mansion was finished, he immediately had someone hang it on the gate, and then notified the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Works to prepare canonization ceremony. When Empress Dowager Cui reacted, the plaque had been hung up for a long time, and Rong Ke himself left the palace immediately and would not come back no matter how he called it. Empress Dowager Cui can only be angry in the palace, but she can't do anything except get angry. So many people who come and go have seen the plaque of the Marquis of Chengxi, and she can't let anyone pick it off. Then tell everyone that this is actually the palace of Zheng Wang, and it was just a mistake.

? Therefore, Empress Dowager Cui crushed three silver teeth, and in the end she could only bear it hard, sitting in the Buddhist hall and scolding Rong Ke.

This can be seen from the Princess Mansion and the Royal Mansion that are piled up outside the Chengxihou Mansion, and especially coincidentally, the Qianning Princess Mansion is opposite the Chengxihou Mansion.

In October, the Ministry of Rites planned an auspicious day, and Xiao Jingduo officially separated from the Dingyonghou mansion and entered his own mansion, the Chengxihou mansion.

Since then, when people call Xiao Jingduo, they will no longer use words like Dingyonghoufu Dalangjun, but will call him his own title, Chengxihou.
