Chapter 144: A Chance Encounter at Luofu's Banquet (1 More)(1/2)
The follow-up of the fraud case, how the Ministry of Justice had a headache and what impact it had on the court, has nothing to do with the current Lin family.
Lin Hongxiu missed the Spring Examination, and his fate was also true.
This matter has come to an end for a while.
But Lin Shuangyu was not idle. When she got home, she had some cleaning up and rushed to Luo Mansion to have a banquet in a carriage. At this time, many guests had already arrived in the Luo family.
This woman and the wedding ceremony are an extremely important day for these noble ladies in the family.
Generally, there are not many people invited, but the people who can be invited are either extremely close people, famous people, or powerful people. In short, the specifications of the gifts are demonstrated by whom the person comes and who invites them.
The fourth lady of the Luo family was called Kyoto Shuangshu for a while with Mo Qingfeng. However, the fourth lady of the Luo family, Luo Zhenge, was not as arrogant as Mo Qingfeng, and lived in a quiet place. He was a big and small banquet in Kyoto and would never show up unless necessary. Therefore, his reputation in the past two years has not been as good as Mo Qingfeng.
But it doesn't mean that she is not as good as Mo Qingfeng. These are all people at the top of the singular. I really can't tell you what you have to do with your own strengths. It's a matter of personal opinion.
Attending a banquet, there are some tricks when you arrive at the banquet. You have to be very particular about what kind of identity you have to arrive early and what kind of identity you have to arrive just right, neither early nor late, so that you can lose your identity.
For example, today Lin Shuangyu, she should have arrived early...
As for the time being, there are also things like Cheng Ji. At this moment, her carriage is slowly driving on the road. Today, she not only represents the Mo Mansion, but also the Queen.
This is different from ordinary guests.
"Grandmother, today's Luo family and the wedding ceremony must have invited a lot of people, right?"
Mo Qingfeng was wearing a brocade satin robe and the vermilion bird eight-gold ring hairpin on her head. You can tell at a glance that it was something that could not be bought on the market. The east beads of the golden hairpin were round and full, with the same size.
With this three-dimensional and delicate facial features, Mo Qingfeng's temperament is fully revealed, it is ostentatious and hot, like a blooming rose. Undoubtedly, Mo Qingfeng's name, the number one beauty in the capital, is not a false reputation, but a great beauty that makes people unable to adapt.
Today, Cheng Ji also went to the usual noble outfit, dark red, which gave the owner a happy face. The fabric seemed ordinary, but it was a royal tribute in the palace. The pair of jade bracelets in her hand were simple but generous enough. Needless to say, they were all rare good materials. With a little makeup, the hairstyle was always simple, but the nobleness on her body was hard to hide.
"The ancestor of the Luo family loves this granddaughter the most. Your aunt said that it was handled by this ancestor himself."
Although now, she was called Mrs. Mo, she was over 10 years old. Originally, Mo Yihong was the youngest among the three squares, less than sixty years old. Compared with Mr. Luo and Gong Xiang, it was indeed a bit enviable.
At this age, there are very few people who have become the prime minister of a country.
"Just like my grandfather loves Feng'er the most?" Mo Qingfeng asked in a straightforward manner. She was always the case. In the Mo family, she was the only one among her granddaughter's generation.
Cheng Ji smiled and looked at her granddaughter without saying anything. Isn’t this granddaughter looked so much like her when she was young? Seeing her, she seemed to see her youth.
So, do you say love? Not exactly.
"Grandmother, after the spring examination, will there be any change in the marriage order?" Mo Qingfeng's voice suddenly lowered a little.
He shook his head, raised his hand and fiddled with the golden hairpin on the other person's head, "Why tell my grandmother, who do you think the fourth lady of the Luo family will be worthy of." What she wants to think about now should be these questions.
Only by being far-sighted can one be invincible.
Today I can have a happy banquet with a smile, and maybe one day I will fight life and death. In this way, my daughter's marriage will be a piece in a chess jar in the palace. When and where I put it, I can't control it easily.
Being in a family like them, enjoying glory will also cost you.
Mo Qingfeng lowered her head slightly and curled her lips and smiled. Why did she ask this more? Even if she was not King Jing, no one could be that person. What's the difference?
My grandmother was reminding her not to ask about anything else, just to ask about her future. No matter who she married, if she wants to be noble and worry-free in the future, she can’t be careless and manage it step by step from now on.
The person she wants to marry must be the emperor of the future, so she manages for herself, that is, for the person who can give her glory in the future.
"Then guess, grandma, listen?" He smiled and looked up. It was still the arrogant Mo Qingfeng, as if she had never had the weakness just now.
Cheng Ji raised her eyebrows and said, "Tell me."
"Grandmother, if you ask your granddaughter to guess, no matter who you click on this marriage, it will be an accident." Mo Qingfeng knew that her marriage palace must have made a decision, but...
"Oh?" He supported his head, leaned against the wall of the car, and looked at his granddaughter seriously. Cheng Ji did not show too many unexpected expressions, but his eyes were a little brighter than before.
"The prince stepped down and the kings were weakened. The emperor finally found such a situation. How could he give the princes more help at this time, especially the three palace Luo Mo families. However, the princes are indeed at the age to be granted marriage. If they do not establish a concubine, there will be problems with the offspring. At that time, there will be troubles between the elders and the younger generations, and the emperor will not ignore the rules of the royal family and the clan. Therefore..."
As he said that, he looked at Cheng Ji and paused for a moment.
"What do you say, keep talking." Cheng Ji still had no expression, but he listened a little more seriously than before.
"So, the emperor had to give a marriage this time, but... there is no official concubine... or, in other words, there will be no official concubine for the time being." Mo Qingfeng's voice softened a little.
The emperor did this, indeed, and the only way to give them noble ladies to several princes as concubines. When Yudie enters Yudie, what kind of women should they choose to be their concubines? There is no suitable one, because there are only a few of the most expensive ladies in the boudoir in Daxia, and they can count them out with one slap. If they are concubines, then who can pass them?
No, so, for these families, the title of the Prince's Concubine, was a function word since then, but the concubine was still the concubine. Even though everyone knew what was going on, the position of the Prince's Concubine was still empty.
If one day the reserve position is certain, then the position of the princess is the biggest bargaining chip in the hands of the emperor, because it is not impossible for these families to enthrone two concubines at the same time, but what if it is the future queen?
At that time, it will be difficult to decide on the position of the princes as the princes. It will be natural that the princes will be promoted to the princess, and it will have nothing to do with the overall situation.
The emperor's actions not only stabilize the current situation, but also completely block the road of Xianwang. The others have a glimmer of hope and evenly share the scenery, which will also play a role in check and balance. It can be said that the layout of the greed case will be considered to be true after the marriage is given.
These days, she thought behind closed doors and after the same thing, she could only accept it with a wry smile. Looking at it like this, Yi Jiuxi really has no way out.
The clans are always full of interests and are full of threads. Once they are involved, how can they get out? They can only help each other and have no other way.
The emperor today is really terrible. No wonder, every step my aunt takes in the palace, she feels like walking on thin ice.
"Girl, you have grown up and become sensible, and grandmother doesn't have to worry too much about you." So transparent and clear, you will definitely be lucky in the future.
What is the love between children and children? It’s just a passing cloud.
This is the first time Cheng Ji has recognized this granddaughter from her heart. In the past, she always felt that she was too clear. Now it seems that she is too comfortable over the years and almost misread her granddaughter.
In this way, she didn't mind spending more time and circled her. When the spring exam was over, the master came out and asked for a clear question.
The master also thought that the Mohist family will be prosperous and will last for generations!
"Grandma, I always have to grow up." Mo Qingfeng smiled, lowering her eyebrows to cover the last touch of helplessness in her eyes.
The carriage gradually heard it, but the two neighing sounds of horse hooves. The grandparents and grandchildren looked at each other. Who else was so coincidental that they arrived at the same time?
"Old lady, Miss, we are here." Outside the car, Madam Cui and Huan'er lifted the curtains and reached out to answer the master and got off the carriage.
Mo Qingfeng got off the carriage first, and after landing, he reached out to support Cheng Ji himself, "Grandmother, be careful."
There was indeed a carriage opposite their carriage, and a man was coming from the carriage, and a girl in green was supporting him. Looking at the carriage, he couldn't tell who it was.
It seems like a lady came alone. Whose lady came here slowly at this time?
At the gate of the mansion, the female manager who was welcoming guests saw the Mo family's carriage at first sight, and then saw another carriage. There was no logo at all. Didn't he hear the wrong place?
Those who come today are all distinguished guests.
Thinking of it, I walked to the carriage of Mo Mansion first, "Please greet Mrs. Mo, Miss Mo, please come inside! My old lady has been waiting for the old lady for a long time." The person in charge was not an ordinary person, but a close silence beside the old lady of the Mo family.
Cheng Ji just smiled and nodded, and was already polite. She raised her feet and looked towards the mansion gate. The man who had just got off the carriage and was just in front of the door.
If it were on weekdays, Cheng Ji would never have looked at her. In Kyoto, if she couldn't even recognize the emblem of a carriage, she was afraid that she was not from a wealthy family. But for some reason, her steps stopped and paused.
Perhaps it was because this black outfit was too eye-catching, or perhaps it was because of the momentum that the person wearing a black outfit showed.
At this glance, Cheng Ji's body stiffened on the spot and looked at the other person quietly, as if his eyes were stabbed with a needle, familiar and unfamiliar.
Zi Linglong...
When these three words appeared in my mind, Mrs. Mo, who had always been unchanged, finally changed her color.
Lin Shuangyu also looked over, met the other person's gaze, raised his lips, smiled and nodded, Cheng Ji, it's been a long time since he was gone!
Time is still very much to treat her well, but it is still like this, and there is no change, but this aura is even better than before.
I thought about what would happen to me when I met her again and the Mo family. It turned out that I could be so calm, so calm that I was indifferent.
"Is this a guest at the house?" Madam Cui served Cheng Ji for so many years and knew something was wrong at first sight. She followed her and felt stormy in her heart. Perhaps, some people just couldn't erase them from their memories. Times have become more and more fresh. They didn't pay attention to it on weekdays, but inadvertently, they were so clear.
He pretended to be calm and asked his master on the excuse.
The nanny in charge is also a wise man, but she misunderstood and said to myself, "Why have you never seen this lady before?" This kind of impacted Mrs. Mo.
"This lady is a little bit disgusted, I don't know if it is..." The posts that came to the house today were not random. They should have been called by the name of the name, and the nanny asked politely.
"Madam, my lady is the eldest lady of the Lin Mansion. This is an invitation." Dashuang was not at all nervous and handed over the rules of the post.
The nanny's eyes lit up, as if she had remembered it. It was the old lady of Lin's family who specially explained that if someone came, it would be something that people would lead. The wives were wondering why the old lady deliberately added such an unfamiliar family among the guests. Now I remember that there were not many people in the Lin family in the previous dynasty.
The old lady was nostalgic and invited the Lin family, but forgot that the old lady of the Lin family seemed to have not arrived in Kyoto yet. The one who came here should be the grandchildren of the Lin family. Her demeanor would be very outstanding at that time.
"It turns out to be Miss Lin, welcome."
"My grandma, I'm late for some delays at home." Lin Shuangyu withdrew her gaze and responded generously.
The nanny knew something about what happened in Kyoto, and knew it a little, "It's okay, it's not too late." She turned her eyes and remembered something, and said sideways: "This is Mrs. Mo and Miss Mo!" It was an intermittent introduction.
Tell both parties that they are guests.
"Miss...it's him...she!"
Huan'er's voice was quite loud, which caused Cheng Ji to glance at her from the corner of her eyebrows. Mo Qingfeng glared at Huan'er. When did this girl be so ignorant? She was not blind, so she wouldn't be able to recognize her.
Very good, Master Lin...
The incident in the teahouse that day was instantly vivid in my mind, and I smiled at the other party. She wrote down the story. She had never been teased like this since she was a child.
"Miss Lin! Please!" Cheng Ji spoke unexpectedly, stood there, looking high.
This request scared the nanny beside her.
Miss Lin may have just arrived in Beijing. I wonder if Mrs. Mo deliberately stepped forward to block it, but who knew that the other party was just one step ahead of her and walked in with her foot and said.
Let Mrs. Mo and Miss Mo give in!
To be continued...
