I am a ruler in troubled times
Chapter 42
It took Song Peiyu a long time to fully understand the meaning of Lu Jihe's words, and his expression became more and more weird.
However, Lu Jihe only thought that Song Peiyu was exposed by him suddenly, and he was speechless under embarrassment and anger, and even deliberately spared time for Song Peiyu to think.
As the herbal tea was being served, Song Peiyu was almost swayed by Lu Jihe and his mind gradually regained consciousness. He said, "My elder brother and sister-in-law are in charge of my marriage. It's useless if you talk to me. Believe it or not, I and Your Highness There is no relationship beyond the relationship between monarch and ministers, and it just happened that my residence in the East Palace was crushed by heavy snow that day, so I was caught by you taking a nap in the warm pavilion where His Highness specializes in listening to books, and I have no ability to interfere with His Highness's choice of wives and concubines."
The smile on the corner of Lu Jihe's mouth turned cold, and he fixed his eyes on Song Peiyu, "I never thought you would dare to think and do it but dare not admit it."
Song Peiyu really didn't think about it and didn't do it. Naturally, no matter how aggressive Lu Jihe was, she didn't feel anything in her heart, and she even wanted to laugh.
The two sides looked at each other for a moment, and Lu Jihe felt Song Peiyu's firmness.
From the moment he appeared in Song Peiyu's yard, Lu Jihe had a condescending attitude, even after he showed his hole card, he gave Song Peiyu two choices.
Let Chongyi marry his sister as his concubine, or let Chongyi take Lu's daughter as his concubine, and Song Peiyu marry his cousin.Lu Jihe was still pressing every step of the way, giving Song Peiyu no room to breathe.
After the preliminary negotiation failed, Lu Jihe's attitude became more sincere. He said to Song Peiyu, "Actually, after my father got those red sandalwood boxes, he didn't think about what to do with them. I want to make friends with you. Only then did I fight with my father for the conditions I just told you."
"I know what you are thinking and what you are afraid of. You will choose to cooperate with me sooner or later. I can wait for you to figure it out before coming to me. It's just that this deadline is brought forward, which is good for you and me." Lu Jihe The voice is soft and slow, but the articulation is very clear.
Song Peiyu only thought that Lu Jihe was a villain, and kept a fake smile on his face, motioning for Lu Jihe to continue.
In Song Peiyu's view, the Song family tree is in the hands of the Lu family, and Lu's arrogance and superior attitude are the norm. However, Lu Jihe suddenly went the other way. He didn't become angry when he was rejected, but his attitude became more and more serious. correct……
When something goes wrong, Lu Jihe is going to act like a demon again.
"Now you are very beautiful around His Highness, especially after the Nanlin Yun family's matter has been concluded. Anyone with a little more sensitive sense of smell will understand that before, they couldn't do anything to please the East Palace, but now they can start with you, Song Binke." The corners of Lu Jihe's eyes showed disdain, but he was not looking at Song Peiyu, "Since the case of Nanlin Yun's Mine has been officially closed, people who want to please you may have to line up from the east gate to the west gate of Xianyang."
Song Peiyu smiled and said nothing, the matter was indeed as Lu Jihe said.
But Song Peiyu was very clear-headed. These people came for the East Palace and Chong Yi. In the eyes of these people, he was just a tool man acting as an intermediary.
Lu Jihe seemed to have figured it out, and finally began to speak in human terms, "If I were you, I would not be willing to part with the present glory. To those who want to share this glory, the means will only be more ruthless than you. I believe In contrast, you are too merciful. I thought that after the secret conversation I thought last time, you would take action and kick me out of the school first."
"You think highly of me too. Without you, Lu Jihe, there would be other people. Your Lu family alone is thriving and thriving. Besides, Lu Chenglin, Xie has always advanced and retreated together. Isn't it just one person? foot, can you level the Song Mansion?" Song Peiyu couldn't hold it back and started to get angry again. No matter who made Lu Jihe have no memory, he couldn't say a few words, so he habitually dug holes for him.
The two of them were silent for a moment at the same time, and it was still Lu Jihe who spoke first, "Have you ever thought that your current glory comes from His Highness, but His Highness's position may not be as stable as you expected?"
"Concubine Lin De is confirmed to be pregnant. How can the other concubines be willing to let her take the lead? I am afraid that in the next few years, there will be a steady stream of princes born in the palace." Lu Jihe spoke faster and faster, " If you think about it, you also know that His Majesty is at odds with the Mu family, and even more deeply hates Concubine Mu Gui. Your Highness is neither close nor able to rely on the mother clan, and what he does can't bear the responsibility of being the eldest son. Why should he fight with the little princes? Don't It is said that he is just living in the East Palace with an unjust name, even if he is officially canonized as a prince and has Zhan Shifu, isn't there still a small number of abolished princes in the past dynasties?"
Song Peiyu was in a complicated mood and wanted to drink tea again. Long before Concubine Lin De was pregnant, Song Peiyu was worried about this problem.
It's just that he never expected that when a concubine in the harem became pregnant, his worries would be easily resolved.
"And have you ever thought that the more stable you control the Eastern Palace, the more it may backfire. Your elder brother and His Majesty have the grace to send charcoal in a timely manner. When His Majesty has no one available, only Uncle Yunyang is willing to give it to you." Helping, so after proclaiming emperor, I will reciprocate, and I am willing to give the Song family the first honor."
Lu Jihe pointed at Song Peiyu with a folding fan, and asked, "You are able to take the top spot in the East Palace because you are from the Song family. Now that your majesty is in the prime of life, most of your energy is devoted to the front court and the rear palace. Your highness and you are still studying. I can’t see anything. Wait until His Majesty is gradually unable to do what he wants, and then look at his heir. You find that everything around His Highness is taken care of by you alone, and everyone around His Highness obeys you. Do you think His Majesty will how to think?"
Song Peiyu's eyes gradually deepened, and Lu Jihe hit the point where he had been worried for a long time, and was looking for a way to break the situation but had no clue.
The most difficult thing to fool in all dynasties is the founding emperor. Emperor Yonghe has not done the stupid thing of killing a donkey so far. Instead, he allowed the Song family to grow themselves in Youzhou and settle down as soon as possible.
One is that the world is divided into nine countries and the war can never be completely subsided, and it may become seven, five, or even twelve countries at any time.
Secondly, Emperor Yonghe, as a monarch, did have the courage to match him, and the Song family had just arrived in Youzhou, so no matter how they developed, they would not be able to threaten the status of the royal family.In contrast, Lu Chenglin Xie was destined to be guarded and used by Emperor Yonghe from the very beginning.
But this doesn't mean that Emperor Yonghe can still maintain his current magnanimity after discovering that two consecutive generations of "Prime Ministers" who have no real names come from the Song family, especially when he discovers this when he himself is dying.
Anyone can see that if Chong Yi's temperament does not change, after he ascends the throne, his "Prime Minister" is destined to have greater power and courage than the "Prime Minister" of Emperor Yonghe.
If such a hidden danger cannot be resolved, Emperor Yonghe may not be able to sleep peacefully at night.
Seeing the change in Song Peiyu's expression, Lu Jihe knew that what he said was not in vain, and Song Peiyu finally listened to him.
"Mu Qing was originally a good candidate who could balance with you. He was raised by His Majesty since he was a child and watched His Majesty grow up. He always has a different affection from others. In addition, no matter how His Majesty thinks of Mu Shi, he is not pleasing to the eye. The Mu family will not be uprooted, and the best way is to hand over the Mu family to the Patriarch who both he and the Mu family can barely accept. It is a pity that Mu Qing is not up to date, not only cannot find his own in the contest between His Majesty and the Mu family The location, I took another half step back for you, and now I have been sent to Nanlin."
"The rest of the reckless people like Ping Zhang, Luo Yong, Wei Zhiyuan, and even Sheng Tairan have already subconsciously and willingly submitted to you, and they can't even bring up the idea of fighting."
"Unless Your Highness succeeds to the throne in three to five years, your current behavior is the biggest hidden danger of the Song family." Lu Jihe stopped talking when he came to a conclusion, and raised his hand to ask the servant in the distance to exchange tea.
Song Peiyu understood what Lu Jihe had said, and made it clear that no one could choose him except for cooperating with the Lu family.But he was even more secretly surprised that Lu Jihe's analysis of the emperor's mind was so sharp and tricky.
To be honest, even though Song Peiyu had already started to think about this issue, she always felt like looking at the flowers through the fog. She always thought that since she couldn't figure it out for the time being, she would put it aside first, and it would not be too late to make plans when she figured it out.
It is far from Lu Jihe's thorough understanding.
Another round of tea was served, but Lu Jihe began to feel bitter, so he asked Yinbao to bring wine and serve some side dishes.
Yinbao turned his head to look at Song Peiyu, seeing that Song Peiyu didn't respond, he brought Zhuangzi's fruit wine from Tianhuju, and went to the small kitchen in Chongyi's courtyard, asking Yinzi to ask the chef on duty to bring some home-cooked dishes to him.
Smelling the aroma of wine and vegetables, Song Peiyu realized that he had been talking to Lu Jihe for so long that he had already missed lunch time.
Both of them were growing up, and they didn't want to be polite with each other, so they immediately put aside what they hadn't finished talking, and said something after filling their stomachs first.
After being so full of wine and food, Song Peiyu finally had the spirit to speak again, and he said firmly, "You lied to me just now."
Lu Jihe was leaning on the chair to digest food, being blown drowsy by the warm wind, he sneered, "What did I lie to you?"
"Your cousin is the one who is going to be His Highness's concubine after Mrs. Lu failed to compete for His Highness's concubine." Song Peiyu only discovered this lie when she was having dinner just now.
Lu Jihe rubbed the center of his brows, and said in a very serious tone, "Everything I said just now counts. As long as you marry my cousin, she will have half... as a dowry."
Song Peiyu suddenly remembered that on the day of Song Jingming's wedding, she appeared behind him with red eyes, warning him not to bully Song Jingming's wife Lu Jihe with their seniority.
Song Peiyu had no intention of stepping on Lu Jihe's thunder point, and naturally skipped this point, and instead mentioned Lu Jihe, "I share the worries for His Highness, and His Highness values me very much. If you want His Highness to use him again, just come and talk to me." I can do better than anyone else. Your Highness is easy-going and generous, and if you do well, he will naturally reward you."
"Why don't I know what's going on in the East Palace?" Lu Jihe looked humbly asking for advice, but there was sarcasm in his eyes.
After thinking about it carefully, Song Peiyu really couldn't answer what Lu Jihe said.
He can't let Lu Jihe help Zhongyi complete the homework of the teachers.
After all, both Lu Ji and himself are people who don't do their homework.
Song Peiyu spread her hands, her face full of helplessness, "I will not prevent you from showing your face in front of His Highness, but I will not help you do anything. Otherwise, what is the difference between you and Ping Zhang and Wei Zhiyuan who you look down on?"
Lu Jihe really answered this question, "Probably because I was born with more choices than them, and there is a more convenient way to reach the end."
"You clearly know what I want. We have the same background, the same vision, and even the same ambition. Otherwise, we wouldn't be so hostile to each other." Lu Jihe shook his head slightly, got up and straightened his clothes, and said, " If you and I work together, within 20 years, the entire Youzhou will be in the hands of the Song family and the Lu family, think about it carefully."
"Lu Jihe!" Song Peiyu got up and called Lu Jihe who was about to leave, "You just want to hold Youzhou in your hands, have you ever thought about what you will do after holding Youzhou in your hands?"
Lu Jihe shook the fan in his hand, his eyes were astonishingly bright, "It is natural to support the people and govern the government for the future. If there is a chance to reorganize the rivers and mountains, He must be obliged."
Song Peiyu unfolded the folding fan in hand, and said with a smile, "Is it your Lu family who reorganized the rivers and mountains? Or the Lu family who supported the emperor to reorganize the rivers and mountains?"
Lu Jihe didn't answer right away, but fixed his eyes on Song Peiyu.
Song Peiyu would not give Lu Jihe a chance to breathe, and asked one after another, "The Lu family has neither the courage to step out of Youzhou, nor the ambition to abandon the aristocratic family and become emperor safely. You keep saying that you will rebuild the country in the future, but you are single-minded. I just want to raise the future monarch into a bird in a cage, so as to maintain the stability of your Lu family in Youzhou for a while."
Just like Song Peiyu couldn't refute Lu Jihe's hidden dangers of the Song family, Lu Jihe couldn't think of words to refute the Lu family at this moment.
If it wasn't for Soong Peiyu's question, he would never have even felt that his ideas were contradictory.
"We have never been the same people. We have different backgrounds, different visions, and different ambitions. The hostility towards each other is nothing more than different ways and no conspiracy." Song Peiyu echoed Lu Jihe's previous words.
Lu Jihe suddenly turned back with big strides, almost touching Song Peiyu's toes, and his tone was full of sharp edges, "You think Mrs. Lu's words and deeds are inconsistent, what about you? Mrs. Song? If Mrs. Song has nowhere to go, Are you willing to abandon your century-old roots and leave your hometown to raise your family to support His Majesty? Isn’t what you are doing now also a preparation for controlling the government in the future?”
"Song's current honor in the Zhao Kingdom is all earned by the lives of Song's children. Lu has lived away from the world for many years, and only knows the balance of the game. Can anyone have the courage to fight for their lives?" Song Peiyu smiled bluntly, becoming more and more serious Calmly, "As for me, at least I have been trained by the court since I was a child, and I know what a monarch is, and I also know what I want to do in the future."
"What are you going to do?" Lu Jihe asked subconsciously.
Song Peiyu looked at Lu Jihe from top to bottom, and said with a sincere tone, "My plan is in the box, and the stack should be higher than yours."
Lu Jihe was angry again, this time he cursed someone, so he left angrily.
Since Song Peiyu began to grow taller, the shortest person in the school became Lu Jihe.
Moreover, Song Peiyu grew very fast. In just a few months, her height not only caught up with Lu Jihe, but also overtook her by more than half of her head.
Lu Jihe left, but what he said today left traces in Song Peiyu's heart.
Song Peiyu immediately called Yin Bao over, and ordered him to return to Xianyang with the bronze plaque that Lu Jihe hadn't taken away in time, and tell his brothers face to face that the genealogy might fall into Lu's hands.
The next day, Jinbao and Yinbao returned to Zhuangzi from Xianyang, and brought over several carriages that Mrs. Song and Mrs. Ye had prepared for Song Peiyu.
Yinbao also brought Song Jinyu's confession.
Song Jinyu told Song Peiyu not to worry about the genealogy anymore, and earlier urged His Highness to complete the drafting of Zhan Shifu's constitution and send it back to Xianyang.
When Song Peiyu heard the words, he immediately went to Chongyi and asked Chongyi to copy the content he had listed a long time ago.
Chong Yi didn't make things difficult for Song Peiyu, he happily jumped off the roof and went to the study to find blank notebooks and ink.
He didn't care about writing in block letters on the booklet, he raised his hand and waved the ink casually, but fortunately the handwriting was very beautiful and could be seen clearly.Song Peiyu also heard from Eunuch An that when Chong Yi first arrived in Xianyang, Emperor Yonghe forced him to write the scriptures, and there was no use of block letters, so he didn't hesitate to ask Chong Yi to rewrite them.
After that, Song Peiyu asked Jinbao and Yinbao to keep an eye on the movement of Xianyang, wishing that he could go back to Xianyang, so that he could know the progress of the genealogy in time
It's just that Song Peiyu also understood in his heart that just like what he said to Lu Jihe, even if he returned to Xianyang, he would not be able to play any role in this matter.
On the contrary, after Lu Jihe had a deep talk with Song Peiyu, he pleaded guilty to Chong Yi early the next morning, and returned to Xianyang with the excuse of family affairs.
After arriving in Zhuangzi, everyone went from being restrained at the beginning to becoming more and more relaxed, and it only took two or three days. Among them, the gadgets that Song Peiyu brought out contributed a lot.
Chong Yi and Song Peiyu were not very happy, they were the only ones who were not attracted by these gadgets.
The frequency of the former climbing trees and going to the house is getting higher and higher. Whenever there is movement outside, he will find a place to watch.At the beginning, Song Peiyu thought that Chong Yi was starting to get along with others, maybe he would go down to play with everyone in two days.
However, Song Peiyu soon discovered something was wrong and figured out the logic.
The eldest princess found that as long as she was playing outside, Chong Yi would be watching nearby, so she almost played outside except for eating and sleeping.
Naturally, the Eldest Princess can't play by herself, as long as she is there, Wei Zhiyuan and Huiyang County Lord will be there.Others came to Zhuangzi just to entertain Chong Yi, and when Chong Yi was too lazy to talk to them, they could only make the eldest princess happy, so other people were there most of the time, but they couldn't do it like Wei Zhiyuan and Huiyang County Like the Lord every time.
After a few times of difference, Song Peiyu discovered his behavior of "shooting his own foot with a rock".
At the beginning, Chong Yi didn't go back to join in the fun every time, only when the eldest princess and Wei Zhiyuan appeared at the same time, Chong Yi would definitely appear.
So a closed loop was formed that made Song Peiyu dumbfounded.
Song Peiyu originally didn't want Chongyi to fall in love with Huiyang County Lord like in the book, and then die for Huiyang County Lord.I just want to use interesting gadgets to let the princess' energy be used in other places, and don't always bring Huiyang County Lord to Chong Yi.
In the end, it turned out to be a mistake... On the contrary, it was his behavior that made Chongyi stare at the princess every day, and by the way, he could see the princess of Huiyang every day.
After thinking about it, Song Peiyu felt that if he wanted to break the closed loop, he could only start with Wei Zhiyuan and Huiyang County Lord.
After all, the head of Huiyang County is a female family member, so Song Peiyu naturally set his target on Wei Zhiyuan.
As long as Wei Zhiyuan doesn't play with the eldest princess, Chong Yi won't go to see it.
It's a pity that Song Peiyu's plan was very good, but Wei Zhiyuan was clearly shameless.
Song Peiyu felt that he only needed to stop Wei Zhiyuan when the eldest princess went out to play, so that Wei Zhiyuan could not appear at the same time.After Chong Yi found out that there was no Wei Zhiyuan, he would naturally leave by himself.
Unexpectedly, Wei Zhiyuan directly rejected Soong Peiyu's invitation to taste tea together. The reason he used was that he wanted to play with the eldest princess, and Wei Zhiyuan directly blocked Song Peiyu's next invitation. He said he was in Zhuangzi. All the time is spent playing with the princess.
The calm approach failed, Song Peiyu thought for a while, and chose to be sorry for Wei Zhiyuan, he sent Yin Bao to Wei Zhiyuan's yard to help, and within a long time, the good news came that Wei Zhiyuan had sprained his foot.
However, Wei Zhiyuan was still not absent from the team playing with the eldest princess that day, he asked the servant to carry him limply, and carried him to the vicinity of the playing place of the eldest princess.
When Song Peiyu received the news, she was looking at the birthday gift prepared for Chong Yi, and almost dropped the gift on the ground when she heard the news.
Wei Zhiyuan was so disabled, Song Peiyu couldn't bear to continue to attack.
Since there is no way to destroy the closed loop, there is only one way to join the closed loop.
In the afternoon of that day, Song Peiyu stepped on the ladder with the latest script she received.
Two days after leaving, Lu Jihe came back and still lived in his previous yard.Every day, like everyone else, greet Chong Yi on time, and occasionally go to play at the invitation of the eldest princess.
Song Peiyu didn't wait for Lu Jihe, nor took the initiative to find Lu Jihe.
Even if they meet occasionally, the two of them just greet each other casually, and they don't see the sharpness that broke each other's defenses before.
In the blink of an eye, it was the sixth day of May, and everyone had gifts for Chong Yi and Song Peiyu.
In addition to the eldest princess, I gave Chong Yi and Song Peiyu two bottles of flowers that they personally planted. Except for the different types of flowers, even the porcelain vases are treasures fired in the same kiln.The birthday presents given to Chong Yi and Song Peiyu by others were divided into priorities.
The head of Huiyang County gave Chongyi a jade pendant that could not go wrong, and gave Song Peiyu a golden cat.
Pingzhang, Luo Yong, Wei Zhiyuan, and Bo Yang may have discussed with the head of Huiyang County in advance, and they also gave jade pendants and golden cats, but their shapes were different.
What Lu Jihe gave away was an ancient ink handed down from the previous dynasty, Chongyi's was larger, Song Peiyu's was smaller.
The one who made the most generous move was Sheng Tairan, who directly sent a shop to Chong Yi.What was given to Song Peiyu was a snow-white real cat with different-colored eyes, which was said to come from a foreign land.
For a moment, everyone's eyes were attracted by the cat that Sheng Tairan gave, and the eldest princess couldn't put it down even more, and even made a joke, "It would be great if this cat was given to the emperor, he has always loved these cute cats." I'm impatient with the little animals, so I just happened to be able to take them back to the palace to raise them."
If Song Peiyu and Lu Jihe faced the princess's joke, they would promise to find another cat that was exactly the same and send it to Su Wang's mansion.
Sheng Tairan was different, he was stunned for a moment, then looked at Song Peiyu hesitantly, "Brother Song..."
If Song Peiyu hadn't known how autistic Sheng Tairan was on weekdays, he would definitely think that Sheng Tairan made this appearance on purpose.
After all, Song Peiyu is a decent and kind person, he didn't say in front of Sheng Tairan that he would give the cat to the eldest princess, but went to talk to Chongyi to exchange the cat with the shop.
Although the result was the same, it made the eldest princess happier, and did not make Sheng Tairan any different.
Song Peiyu was also very satisfied holding the house deed he had just obtained.
Sheng Tairan's shop for Chongyi's birthday gift is better than Fenfangting and Mingkelou.
It happened that Song Peiyu was planning to open a new shop in the near future, and was worried about where to find a good place.
Song Peiyu folded the land deed and put it in his sleeve, turned back and put the wooden box that Jin Bao was holding on the table, looked up at Chong Yi, and said very suggestively, "I have received eight birthday gifts, and now I only have the last one serving."
Chong Yi was wearing the fancy clothes that Eunuch An had asked Xiu Niang to prepare a few days in advance. Hearing this, he looked at the box that Song Peiyu was holding in person, and said, "Choose whatever you want from the private treasury."
The smile on Song Peiyu's face collapsed, and he always felt that this birthday seemed to be a bit of a loss. In order not to be so bad, he bargained, "Three pieces?"
"Five pieces" said generously.
Song Peiyu was used to taking things from Chong Yi's private treasury, and Wen Yan had already thought about what he was going to take, and she didn't notice that other people's expressions became more and more weird after listening to their conversation.
"I also have a gift for Your Highness. It is a glazed teacup baked in my own village." Song Peiyu said, opened the wooden box, and took out the translucent glazed teacup inside. The black silk teacup inside the box on cloth.
It is said to be a teacup, but it is actually not much bigger than a wine pot. It is light milky white in color, smooth and moist on the surface, and its shape is like jade. There are also Suzaku patterns on the surface.
There had never been colored glass in this era, and when the teacup was brought out, even Sheng Tairan and Lu Jihe were surprised, and couldn't help but come closer to have a look.
"Is this made of whole jade?" Ping Zhang cautiously touched the teapot, and couldn't help but look down at the Suzaku standing on the spout.
It was the first time for Sheng Tairan to squeeze in the front when there were many people, and he couldn't wait to say to Song Peiyu, "Brother Song must tell me the craftsman who can carve such ingenious objects, I have a few pieces of fine jade in my home , I have long wanted to carve it into jewelry ornaments, but I was afraid that I could not find a good craftsman to waste the material, I never thought that there are people with such superb craftsmanship in the world."
Song Peiyu held a teacup and showed it to Chong Yi for a closer look, and then said to everyone, "It's not jade, but something fired in a kiln just like porcelain."
"What?!" Pingzhang was shocked, "You mean exactly the same teacup, you can have as many as you want?"
Hearing this, Chong Yi raised his eyelids, and glanced at Ping Zhang inexplicably.
Ping Zhang sneezed suddenly, but he didn't take it to heart, still looking at Song Peiyu with burning eyes.
Song Peiyu smiled, pointed to the box containing the teacups and said, "This set of teacups has been given to His Highness as a birthday present, and will not be fired for anyone other than His Highness. Other styles are just like what Ping Xiaoqi said. As long as the mold is still there, more or less exactly the same can be fired."
Sheng Tairan deliberately took a white porcelain tea cup and put it next to the glass tea cup for comparison.
The teacups that can be used by them are naturally the best things, but they are overshadowed by the glazed teacups.Everyone's eyes will naturally pass over the white porcelain tea cup and put it on the glazed tea cup.
"You want to follow the example of Fenfangting and open a shop specializing in selling colored glaze?" Luo Yong rubbed his palms and said in a muffled voice, "Can you sell me one first, my grandfather's birthday will be next month, and I just haven't thought about it yet. What to give."
"I really want to open a new shop, but it's not a shop selling colored glaze. I'm afraid it won't be until the second half of the year when the shop selling colored glaze opens." Song Peiyu looked at Luo Yong apologetically.
Luo Yong's eyes widened, and the question "Are you stupid" almost blurted out, "Is there any shop more important than Liuli shop? Your Liuli shop will definitely have more customers than Fenfangting when it opens!"
Song Peiyu smiled wryly, "I also want to open a glazed shop sooner, but there are too few patterns that can be baked now, and it is very difficult to succeed. The tea cup I gave to His Highness failed dozens of times before I pieced together such a set. A pot of six lamps without any blemishes."
"What about those defective products?" Luo Yong asked subconsciously.
Song Peiyu said lightly, "Of course it was smashed."
"Damn it?!" Luo Yong said 'Aww', his facial features wrinkled in distress.
Lu Jihe covered his ears and sneered, "What's all the fuss about?"
Everyone asked many questions around the glazed teacup. Song Peiyu was very talkative, except for how the glazed teacup was fired, she almost answered every question.
Instead, Chong Yi became the one who was ignored. He squinted his eyes and looked at Song Peiyu who was surrounded by the crowd. He looked away with just one glance, and turned to look outside the door.
"What's so strange about the smell?" The eldest princess who was hugging the little white cat suddenly asked.
Others also noticed the particularly strong and spicy smell when they heard the words, and it took a long time to discover the source, and they all looked outside the door.
The servants came in with small copper stoves and placed them on the edge of the round table one by one, just in front of each chair.
The copper stove is divided into upper and lower floors, the upper layer is milky white soup, and the lower layer is burning smokeless charcoal.
The boys retreated and came in again, carrying cleaned vegetables, beef and mutton that was transparent but not collapsed, and round meatballs.
Song Peiyu pointed to the table and said, "I'm going to open a food shop first, specializing in selling hot pot."
"Wok!" Ping Zhang leaned close to a small copper stove and smelled it, and said with a smile, "I also eat pots at home in winter, but they are not as fragrant as this soup."
During the speech, everyone sat down one after another, and the more they ate, the more they felt that the 'hot pot' Song Peiyu was talking about was different from the pot they ate in winter.
Not only the meat slices are unbelievably thin, but also more tender and delicious. The most important thing is that it is not greasy at all. Even the eldest princess and the Huiyang county master who have the smallest appetite have eaten several pots.
Chong Yi also seems to be very interested in hot pot, and Song Peiyu sitting next to him watched Chong Yi eat 22 hot pots one after another...
In the end, Song Peiyu directly refused to let the servant continue to serve food, and Chong Yi put down his chopsticks in a still unsatisfied way.
Seeing Chong Yi like this, Song Peiyu couldn't help but fell into deep thought, is there still a need to serve a birthday cake?
Before Song Peiyu could figure it out, the birthday cake had already been served
The three-tiered cake was placed in the center, Song Peiyu didn't ask someone to blow out the candles, and directly asked Chong Yi to cut the cake, and he then gave the cake a second knife, which was regarded as a birthday ceremony.
The crowd ate and played until midnight before dispersing. Song Peiyu was coaxed to drink a lot of wine during the banquet, and felt dizzy when she returned to the room. She only had time to tell Jinbao to store the ancient ink sent by Lu Jihe separately. I fell asleep directly.
This time, she didn't sleep until dawn. Song Peiyu was woken up by Jin Bao in the middle of the night, and she sat on the bed in a daze for a while before realizing what Jin Bao had said to him.
Chong Yi woke up from a nightmare, and Eunuch An asked him to go and have a look.
The little eunuch who came to report the letter was really poor in mental quality. Seeing that Song Peiyu didn't respond, he started to cry intermittently, crying Song Peiyu's mind that hadn't fully recovered from it into a mess, and walked out of the yard in a daze. As soon as the cold wind blew at night, he realized that he had gone out in his pajamas.
I don't know how much time it will take to go back to get dressed, Song Peiyu simply ignored it, and went to Chongyi's yard in three steps in two steps.
As soon as he entered the door, Song Peiyu saw Chong Yi who was also wearing pajamas and standing under the wisteria.
Facing Shang Chongyi's cold eyes, Song Peiyu stopped subconsciously.
He had a strong intuition that Chong Yi's gaze was on his neck.
"Your Highness?" Song Peiyu took a few steps forward and stopped at a distance where both sides could see each other's expressions clearly.
Chong Yi didn't respond, and looked at Song Peiyu with fixed eyes, as if looking at a... dead person.
Song Peiyu felt that he was a bit overwhelmed, and just about to retreat to a safe distance, she asked Eunuch An what to do, but Chong Yi suddenly said, "People from Tianshu Pavilion."
Song Peiyu's body was covered with white sweat because of this sentence. He didn't know what Tianshu Pavilion was, but he knew that Chong Yi could crush him with one hand, which was effortless.
Because Song Peiyu was too aware of her own weakness, Song Peiyu didn't even dare to retreat, for fear of stimulating Chong Yi, who was obviously mentally abnormal, and directly splashed blood on the spot.
The two stood there silently, Song Peiyu regretted that when he found out that he hadn't changed his clothes just now, he didn't go back to his yard to add clothes, he was about to be blown through by the cold wind at night.
I don't know how long it took before Chong Yi, who looked like a sculpture, suddenly moved. His gaze was no longer as cold and unfamiliar as Song Peiyu's when he first entered the courtyard, but gradually became more complicated. He said, "Someone get someone to call the storyteller."
After finishing speaking, Chong Yi looked around and was about to walk towards the gazebo.
Song Peiyu's held breath instantly loosened, her legs were about to fall to the ground, and she subconsciously exclaimed, "Huh?"
Chong Yi, who was ten feet away, appeared beside Song Peiyu in an instant, grabbed Song Peiyu's shoulders, and lifted him up.
Song Peiyu relaxed, and the cold wind that he had already adapted to made him uncomfortable again, and he shivered uncontrollably.
Chong Yi's eyes turned cold, and he immediately let go.
Fortunately, Song Peiyu hugged Chong Yi's arm quickly, so she didn't squat on the ground.
He was about to ask Chong Yi what was wrong with letting go of his hand suddenly, when he suddenly heard a clear sneer.
Song Peiyu turned her head and saw that Lu Jihe, Ping Zhang and Luo Yong were standing at the gate of the yard.
Ping Zhang also covered his face with his hands, if he didn't show two big slits around his eyes, Song Peiyu might be more at ease.
Lu Jihe sneered unabashedly, his eyes were on Song Peiyu's hand.
Song Peiyu followed Lu Jihe's gaze. He had a desire to survive when he grabbed Chong Yi with both hands just now in order not to fall to the ground.So much force was used that most of Chong Yi's baggy pajamas were pulled off, so that Chong Yi could only stand in the night wind with his breasts bare.
Thanks to Chong Yi's chassis being stable enough, otherwise with Song Peiyu's pulling method, Chong Yi would have to be pulled down as well.
It was precisely because Chong Yi's chassis was stable enough that Song Peiyu hung on Chong Yi in an extremely distorted posture.
Chong Yi lowered his eyelids to look at Song Peiyu, and said coldly, "You still want to let go?"
"Oh"
However, Lu Jihe only thought that Song Peiyu was exposed by him suddenly, and he was speechless under embarrassment and anger, and even deliberately spared time for Song Peiyu to think.
As the herbal tea was being served, Song Peiyu was almost swayed by Lu Jihe and his mind gradually regained consciousness. He said, "My elder brother and sister-in-law are in charge of my marriage. It's useless if you talk to me. Believe it or not, I and Your Highness There is no relationship beyond the relationship between monarch and ministers, and it just happened that my residence in the East Palace was crushed by heavy snow that day, so I was caught by you taking a nap in the warm pavilion where His Highness specializes in listening to books, and I have no ability to interfere with His Highness's choice of wives and concubines."
The smile on the corner of Lu Jihe's mouth turned cold, and he fixed his eyes on Song Peiyu, "I never thought you would dare to think and do it but dare not admit it."
Song Peiyu really didn't think about it and didn't do it. Naturally, no matter how aggressive Lu Jihe was, she didn't feel anything in her heart, and she even wanted to laugh.
The two sides looked at each other for a moment, and Lu Jihe felt Song Peiyu's firmness.
From the moment he appeared in Song Peiyu's yard, Lu Jihe had a condescending attitude, even after he showed his hole card, he gave Song Peiyu two choices.
Let Chongyi marry his sister as his concubine, or let Chongyi take Lu's daughter as his concubine, and Song Peiyu marry his cousin.Lu Jihe was still pressing every step of the way, giving Song Peiyu no room to breathe.
After the preliminary negotiation failed, Lu Jihe's attitude became more sincere. He said to Song Peiyu, "Actually, after my father got those red sandalwood boxes, he didn't think about what to do with them. I want to make friends with you. Only then did I fight with my father for the conditions I just told you."
"I know what you are thinking and what you are afraid of. You will choose to cooperate with me sooner or later. I can wait for you to figure it out before coming to me. It's just that this deadline is brought forward, which is good for you and me." Lu Jihe The voice is soft and slow, but the articulation is very clear.
Song Peiyu only thought that Lu Jihe was a villain, and kept a fake smile on his face, motioning for Lu Jihe to continue.
In Song Peiyu's view, the Song family tree is in the hands of the Lu family, and Lu's arrogance and superior attitude are the norm. However, Lu Jihe suddenly went the other way. He didn't become angry when he was rejected, but his attitude became more and more serious. correct……
When something goes wrong, Lu Jihe is going to act like a demon again.
"Now you are very beautiful around His Highness, especially after the Nanlin Yun family's matter has been concluded. Anyone with a little more sensitive sense of smell will understand that before, they couldn't do anything to please the East Palace, but now they can start with you, Song Binke." The corners of Lu Jihe's eyes showed disdain, but he was not looking at Song Peiyu, "Since the case of Nanlin Yun's Mine has been officially closed, people who want to please you may have to line up from the east gate to the west gate of Xianyang."
Song Peiyu smiled and said nothing, the matter was indeed as Lu Jihe said.
But Song Peiyu was very clear-headed. These people came for the East Palace and Chong Yi. In the eyes of these people, he was just a tool man acting as an intermediary.
Lu Jihe seemed to have figured it out, and finally began to speak in human terms, "If I were you, I would not be willing to part with the present glory. To those who want to share this glory, the means will only be more ruthless than you. I believe In contrast, you are too merciful. I thought that after the secret conversation I thought last time, you would take action and kick me out of the school first."
"You think highly of me too. Without you, Lu Jihe, there would be other people. Your Lu family alone is thriving and thriving. Besides, Lu Chenglin, Xie has always advanced and retreated together. Isn't it just one person? foot, can you level the Song Mansion?" Song Peiyu couldn't hold it back and started to get angry again. No matter who made Lu Jihe have no memory, he couldn't say a few words, so he habitually dug holes for him.
The two of them were silent for a moment at the same time, and it was still Lu Jihe who spoke first, "Have you ever thought that your current glory comes from His Highness, but His Highness's position may not be as stable as you expected?"
"Concubine Lin De is confirmed to be pregnant. How can the other concubines be willing to let her take the lead? I am afraid that in the next few years, there will be a steady stream of princes born in the palace." Lu Jihe spoke faster and faster, " If you think about it, you also know that His Majesty is at odds with the Mu family, and even more deeply hates Concubine Mu Gui. Your Highness is neither close nor able to rely on the mother clan, and what he does can't bear the responsibility of being the eldest son. Why should he fight with the little princes? Don't It is said that he is just living in the East Palace with an unjust name, even if he is officially canonized as a prince and has Zhan Shifu, isn't there still a small number of abolished princes in the past dynasties?"
Song Peiyu was in a complicated mood and wanted to drink tea again. Long before Concubine Lin De was pregnant, Song Peiyu was worried about this problem.
It's just that he never expected that when a concubine in the harem became pregnant, his worries would be easily resolved.
"And have you ever thought that the more stable you control the Eastern Palace, the more it may backfire. Your elder brother and His Majesty have the grace to send charcoal in a timely manner. When His Majesty has no one available, only Uncle Yunyang is willing to give it to you." Helping, so after proclaiming emperor, I will reciprocate, and I am willing to give the Song family the first honor."
Lu Jihe pointed at Song Peiyu with a folding fan, and asked, "You are able to take the top spot in the East Palace because you are from the Song family. Now that your majesty is in the prime of life, most of your energy is devoted to the front court and the rear palace. Your highness and you are still studying. I can’t see anything. Wait until His Majesty is gradually unable to do what he wants, and then look at his heir. You find that everything around His Highness is taken care of by you alone, and everyone around His Highness obeys you. Do you think His Majesty will how to think?"
Song Peiyu's eyes gradually deepened, and Lu Jihe hit the point where he had been worried for a long time, and was looking for a way to break the situation but had no clue.
The most difficult thing to fool in all dynasties is the founding emperor. Emperor Yonghe has not done the stupid thing of killing a donkey so far. Instead, he allowed the Song family to grow themselves in Youzhou and settle down as soon as possible.
One is that the world is divided into nine countries and the war can never be completely subsided, and it may become seven, five, or even twelve countries at any time.
Secondly, Emperor Yonghe, as a monarch, did have the courage to match him, and the Song family had just arrived in Youzhou, so no matter how they developed, they would not be able to threaten the status of the royal family.In contrast, Lu Chenglin Xie was destined to be guarded and used by Emperor Yonghe from the very beginning.
But this doesn't mean that Emperor Yonghe can still maintain his current magnanimity after discovering that two consecutive generations of "Prime Ministers" who have no real names come from the Song family, especially when he discovers this when he himself is dying.
Anyone can see that if Chong Yi's temperament does not change, after he ascends the throne, his "Prime Minister" is destined to have greater power and courage than the "Prime Minister" of Emperor Yonghe.
If such a hidden danger cannot be resolved, Emperor Yonghe may not be able to sleep peacefully at night.
Seeing the change in Song Peiyu's expression, Lu Jihe knew that what he said was not in vain, and Song Peiyu finally listened to him.
"Mu Qing was originally a good candidate who could balance with you. He was raised by His Majesty since he was a child and watched His Majesty grow up. He always has a different affection from others. In addition, no matter how His Majesty thinks of Mu Shi, he is not pleasing to the eye. The Mu family will not be uprooted, and the best way is to hand over the Mu family to the Patriarch who both he and the Mu family can barely accept. It is a pity that Mu Qing is not up to date, not only cannot find his own in the contest between His Majesty and the Mu family The location, I took another half step back for you, and now I have been sent to Nanlin."
"The rest of the reckless people like Ping Zhang, Luo Yong, Wei Zhiyuan, and even Sheng Tairan have already subconsciously and willingly submitted to you, and they can't even bring up the idea of fighting."
"Unless Your Highness succeeds to the throne in three to five years, your current behavior is the biggest hidden danger of the Song family." Lu Jihe stopped talking when he came to a conclusion, and raised his hand to ask the servant in the distance to exchange tea.
Song Peiyu understood what Lu Jihe had said, and made it clear that no one could choose him except for cooperating with the Lu family.But he was even more secretly surprised that Lu Jihe's analysis of the emperor's mind was so sharp and tricky.
To be honest, even though Song Peiyu had already started to think about this issue, she always felt like looking at the flowers through the fog. She always thought that since she couldn't figure it out for the time being, she would put it aside first, and it would not be too late to make plans when she figured it out.
It is far from Lu Jihe's thorough understanding.
Another round of tea was served, but Lu Jihe began to feel bitter, so he asked Yinbao to bring wine and serve some side dishes.
Yinbao turned his head to look at Song Peiyu, seeing that Song Peiyu didn't respond, he brought Zhuangzi's fruit wine from Tianhuju, and went to the small kitchen in Chongyi's courtyard, asking Yinzi to ask the chef on duty to bring some home-cooked dishes to him.
Smelling the aroma of wine and vegetables, Song Peiyu realized that he had been talking to Lu Jihe for so long that he had already missed lunch time.
Both of them were growing up, and they didn't want to be polite with each other, so they immediately put aside what they hadn't finished talking, and said something after filling their stomachs first.
After being so full of wine and food, Song Peiyu finally had the spirit to speak again, and he said firmly, "You lied to me just now."
Lu Jihe was leaning on the chair to digest food, being blown drowsy by the warm wind, he sneered, "What did I lie to you?"
"Your cousin is the one who is going to be His Highness's concubine after Mrs. Lu failed to compete for His Highness's concubine." Song Peiyu only discovered this lie when she was having dinner just now.
Lu Jihe rubbed the center of his brows, and said in a very serious tone, "Everything I said just now counts. As long as you marry my cousin, she will have half... as a dowry."
Song Peiyu suddenly remembered that on the day of Song Jingming's wedding, she appeared behind him with red eyes, warning him not to bully Song Jingming's wife Lu Jihe with their seniority.
Song Peiyu had no intention of stepping on Lu Jihe's thunder point, and naturally skipped this point, and instead mentioned Lu Jihe, "I share the worries for His Highness, and His Highness values me very much. If you want His Highness to use him again, just come and talk to me." I can do better than anyone else. Your Highness is easy-going and generous, and if you do well, he will naturally reward you."
"Why don't I know what's going on in the East Palace?" Lu Jihe looked humbly asking for advice, but there was sarcasm in his eyes.
After thinking about it carefully, Song Peiyu really couldn't answer what Lu Jihe said.
He can't let Lu Jihe help Zhongyi complete the homework of the teachers.
After all, both Lu Ji and himself are people who don't do their homework.
Song Peiyu spread her hands, her face full of helplessness, "I will not prevent you from showing your face in front of His Highness, but I will not help you do anything. Otherwise, what is the difference between you and Ping Zhang and Wei Zhiyuan who you look down on?"
Lu Jihe really answered this question, "Probably because I was born with more choices than them, and there is a more convenient way to reach the end."
"You clearly know what I want. We have the same background, the same vision, and even the same ambition. Otherwise, we wouldn't be so hostile to each other." Lu Jihe shook his head slightly, got up and straightened his clothes, and said, " If you and I work together, within 20 years, the entire Youzhou will be in the hands of the Song family and the Lu family, think about it carefully."
"Lu Jihe!" Song Peiyu got up and called Lu Jihe who was about to leave, "You just want to hold Youzhou in your hands, have you ever thought about what you will do after holding Youzhou in your hands?"
Lu Jihe shook the fan in his hand, his eyes were astonishingly bright, "It is natural to support the people and govern the government for the future. If there is a chance to reorganize the rivers and mountains, He must be obliged."
Song Peiyu unfolded the folding fan in hand, and said with a smile, "Is it your Lu family who reorganized the rivers and mountains? Or the Lu family who supported the emperor to reorganize the rivers and mountains?"
Lu Jihe didn't answer right away, but fixed his eyes on Song Peiyu.
Song Peiyu would not give Lu Jihe a chance to breathe, and asked one after another, "The Lu family has neither the courage to step out of Youzhou, nor the ambition to abandon the aristocratic family and become emperor safely. You keep saying that you will rebuild the country in the future, but you are single-minded. I just want to raise the future monarch into a bird in a cage, so as to maintain the stability of your Lu family in Youzhou for a while."
Just like Song Peiyu couldn't refute Lu Jihe's hidden dangers of the Song family, Lu Jihe couldn't think of words to refute the Lu family at this moment.
If it wasn't for Soong Peiyu's question, he would never have even felt that his ideas were contradictory.
"We have never been the same people. We have different backgrounds, different visions, and different ambitions. The hostility towards each other is nothing more than different ways and no conspiracy." Song Peiyu echoed Lu Jihe's previous words.
Lu Jihe suddenly turned back with big strides, almost touching Song Peiyu's toes, and his tone was full of sharp edges, "You think Mrs. Lu's words and deeds are inconsistent, what about you? Mrs. Song? If Mrs. Song has nowhere to go, Are you willing to abandon your century-old roots and leave your hometown to raise your family to support His Majesty? Isn’t what you are doing now also a preparation for controlling the government in the future?”
"Song's current honor in the Zhao Kingdom is all earned by the lives of Song's children. Lu has lived away from the world for many years, and only knows the balance of the game. Can anyone have the courage to fight for their lives?" Song Peiyu smiled bluntly, becoming more and more serious Calmly, "As for me, at least I have been trained by the court since I was a child, and I know what a monarch is, and I also know what I want to do in the future."
"What are you going to do?" Lu Jihe asked subconsciously.
Song Peiyu looked at Lu Jihe from top to bottom, and said with a sincere tone, "My plan is in the box, and the stack should be higher than yours."
Lu Jihe was angry again, this time he cursed someone, so he left angrily.
Since Song Peiyu began to grow taller, the shortest person in the school became Lu Jihe.
Moreover, Song Peiyu grew very fast. In just a few months, her height not only caught up with Lu Jihe, but also overtook her by more than half of her head.
Lu Jihe left, but what he said today left traces in Song Peiyu's heart.
Song Peiyu immediately called Yin Bao over, and ordered him to return to Xianyang with the bronze plaque that Lu Jihe hadn't taken away in time, and tell his brothers face to face that the genealogy might fall into Lu's hands.
The next day, Jinbao and Yinbao returned to Zhuangzi from Xianyang, and brought over several carriages that Mrs. Song and Mrs. Ye had prepared for Song Peiyu.
Yinbao also brought Song Jinyu's confession.
Song Jinyu told Song Peiyu not to worry about the genealogy anymore, and earlier urged His Highness to complete the drafting of Zhan Shifu's constitution and send it back to Xianyang.
When Song Peiyu heard the words, he immediately went to Chongyi and asked Chongyi to copy the content he had listed a long time ago.
Chong Yi didn't make things difficult for Song Peiyu, he happily jumped off the roof and went to the study to find blank notebooks and ink.
He didn't care about writing in block letters on the booklet, he raised his hand and waved the ink casually, but fortunately the handwriting was very beautiful and could be seen clearly.Song Peiyu also heard from Eunuch An that when Chong Yi first arrived in Xianyang, Emperor Yonghe forced him to write the scriptures, and there was no use of block letters, so he didn't hesitate to ask Chong Yi to rewrite them.
After that, Song Peiyu asked Jinbao and Yinbao to keep an eye on the movement of Xianyang, wishing that he could go back to Xianyang, so that he could know the progress of the genealogy in time
It's just that Song Peiyu also understood in his heart that just like what he said to Lu Jihe, even if he returned to Xianyang, he would not be able to play any role in this matter.
On the contrary, after Lu Jihe had a deep talk with Song Peiyu, he pleaded guilty to Chong Yi early the next morning, and returned to Xianyang with the excuse of family affairs.
After arriving in Zhuangzi, everyone went from being restrained at the beginning to becoming more and more relaxed, and it only took two or three days. Among them, the gadgets that Song Peiyu brought out contributed a lot.
Chong Yi and Song Peiyu were not very happy, they were the only ones who were not attracted by these gadgets.
The frequency of the former climbing trees and going to the house is getting higher and higher. Whenever there is movement outside, he will find a place to watch.At the beginning, Song Peiyu thought that Chong Yi was starting to get along with others, maybe he would go down to play with everyone in two days.
However, Song Peiyu soon discovered something was wrong and figured out the logic.
The eldest princess found that as long as she was playing outside, Chong Yi would be watching nearby, so she almost played outside except for eating and sleeping.
Naturally, the Eldest Princess can't play by herself, as long as she is there, Wei Zhiyuan and Huiyang County Lord will be there.Others came to Zhuangzi just to entertain Chong Yi, and when Chong Yi was too lazy to talk to them, they could only make the eldest princess happy, so other people were there most of the time, but they couldn't do it like Wei Zhiyuan and Huiyang County Like the Lord every time.
After a few times of difference, Song Peiyu discovered his behavior of "shooting his own foot with a rock".
At the beginning, Chong Yi didn't go back to join in the fun every time, only when the eldest princess and Wei Zhiyuan appeared at the same time, Chong Yi would definitely appear.
So a closed loop was formed that made Song Peiyu dumbfounded.
Song Peiyu originally didn't want Chongyi to fall in love with Huiyang County Lord like in the book, and then die for Huiyang County Lord.I just want to use interesting gadgets to let the princess' energy be used in other places, and don't always bring Huiyang County Lord to Chong Yi.
In the end, it turned out to be a mistake... On the contrary, it was his behavior that made Chongyi stare at the princess every day, and by the way, he could see the princess of Huiyang every day.
After thinking about it, Song Peiyu felt that if he wanted to break the closed loop, he could only start with Wei Zhiyuan and Huiyang County Lord.
After all, the head of Huiyang County is a female family member, so Song Peiyu naturally set his target on Wei Zhiyuan.
As long as Wei Zhiyuan doesn't play with the eldest princess, Chong Yi won't go to see it.
It's a pity that Song Peiyu's plan was very good, but Wei Zhiyuan was clearly shameless.
Song Peiyu felt that he only needed to stop Wei Zhiyuan when the eldest princess went out to play, so that Wei Zhiyuan could not appear at the same time.After Chong Yi found out that there was no Wei Zhiyuan, he would naturally leave by himself.
Unexpectedly, Wei Zhiyuan directly rejected Soong Peiyu's invitation to taste tea together. The reason he used was that he wanted to play with the eldest princess, and Wei Zhiyuan directly blocked Song Peiyu's next invitation. He said he was in Zhuangzi. All the time is spent playing with the princess.
The calm approach failed, Song Peiyu thought for a while, and chose to be sorry for Wei Zhiyuan, he sent Yin Bao to Wei Zhiyuan's yard to help, and within a long time, the good news came that Wei Zhiyuan had sprained his foot.
However, Wei Zhiyuan was still not absent from the team playing with the eldest princess that day, he asked the servant to carry him limply, and carried him to the vicinity of the playing place of the eldest princess.
When Song Peiyu received the news, she was looking at the birthday gift prepared for Chong Yi, and almost dropped the gift on the ground when she heard the news.
Wei Zhiyuan was so disabled, Song Peiyu couldn't bear to continue to attack.
Since there is no way to destroy the closed loop, there is only one way to join the closed loop.
In the afternoon of that day, Song Peiyu stepped on the ladder with the latest script she received.
Two days after leaving, Lu Jihe came back and still lived in his previous yard.Every day, like everyone else, greet Chong Yi on time, and occasionally go to play at the invitation of the eldest princess.
Song Peiyu didn't wait for Lu Jihe, nor took the initiative to find Lu Jihe.
Even if they meet occasionally, the two of them just greet each other casually, and they don't see the sharpness that broke each other's defenses before.
In the blink of an eye, it was the sixth day of May, and everyone had gifts for Chong Yi and Song Peiyu.
In addition to the eldest princess, I gave Chong Yi and Song Peiyu two bottles of flowers that they personally planted. Except for the different types of flowers, even the porcelain vases are treasures fired in the same kiln.The birthday presents given to Chong Yi and Song Peiyu by others were divided into priorities.
The head of Huiyang County gave Chongyi a jade pendant that could not go wrong, and gave Song Peiyu a golden cat.
Pingzhang, Luo Yong, Wei Zhiyuan, and Bo Yang may have discussed with the head of Huiyang County in advance, and they also gave jade pendants and golden cats, but their shapes were different.
What Lu Jihe gave away was an ancient ink handed down from the previous dynasty, Chongyi's was larger, Song Peiyu's was smaller.
The one who made the most generous move was Sheng Tairan, who directly sent a shop to Chong Yi.What was given to Song Peiyu was a snow-white real cat with different-colored eyes, which was said to come from a foreign land.
For a moment, everyone's eyes were attracted by the cat that Sheng Tairan gave, and the eldest princess couldn't put it down even more, and even made a joke, "It would be great if this cat was given to the emperor, he has always loved these cute cats." I'm impatient with the little animals, so I just happened to be able to take them back to the palace to raise them."
If Song Peiyu and Lu Jihe faced the princess's joke, they would promise to find another cat that was exactly the same and send it to Su Wang's mansion.
Sheng Tairan was different, he was stunned for a moment, then looked at Song Peiyu hesitantly, "Brother Song..."
If Song Peiyu hadn't known how autistic Sheng Tairan was on weekdays, he would definitely think that Sheng Tairan made this appearance on purpose.
After all, Song Peiyu is a decent and kind person, he didn't say in front of Sheng Tairan that he would give the cat to the eldest princess, but went to talk to Chongyi to exchange the cat with the shop.
Although the result was the same, it made the eldest princess happier, and did not make Sheng Tairan any different.
Song Peiyu was also very satisfied holding the house deed he had just obtained.
Sheng Tairan's shop for Chongyi's birthday gift is better than Fenfangting and Mingkelou.
It happened that Song Peiyu was planning to open a new shop in the near future, and was worried about where to find a good place.
Song Peiyu folded the land deed and put it in his sleeve, turned back and put the wooden box that Jin Bao was holding on the table, looked up at Chong Yi, and said very suggestively, "I have received eight birthday gifts, and now I only have the last one serving."
Chong Yi was wearing the fancy clothes that Eunuch An had asked Xiu Niang to prepare a few days in advance. Hearing this, he looked at the box that Song Peiyu was holding in person, and said, "Choose whatever you want from the private treasury."
The smile on Song Peiyu's face collapsed, and he always felt that this birthday seemed to be a bit of a loss. In order not to be so bad, he bargained, "Three pieces?"
"Five pieces" said generously.
Song Peiyu was used to taking things from Chong Yi's private treasury, and Wen Yan had already thought about what he was going to take, and she didn't notice that other people's expressions became more and more weird after listening to their conversation.
"I also have a gift for Your Highness. It is a glazed teacup baked in my own village." Song Peiyu said, opened the wooden box, and took out the translucent glazed teacup inside. The black silk teacup inside the box on cloth.
It is said to be a teacup, but it is actually not much bigger than a wine pot. It is light milky white in color, smooth and moist on the surface, and its shape is like jade. There are also Suzaku patterns on the surface.
There had never been colored glass in this era, and when the teacup was brought out, even Sheng Tairan and Lu Jihe were surprised, and couldn't help but come closer to have a look.
"Is this made of whole jade?" Ping Zhang cautiously touched the teapot, and couldn't help but look down at the Suzaku standing on the spout.
It was the first time for Sheng Tairan to squeeze in the front when there were many people, and he couldn't wait to say to Song Peiyu, "Brother Song must tell me the craftsman who can carve such ingenious objects, I have a few pieces of fine jade in my home , I have long wanted to carve it into jewelry ornaments, but I was afraid that I could not find a good craftsman to waste the material, I never thought that there are people with such superb craftsmanship in the world."
Song Peiyu held a teacup and showed it to Chong Yi for a closer look, and then said to everyone, "It's not jade, but something fired in a kiln just like porcelain."
"What?!" Pingzhang was shocked, "You mean exactly the same teacup, you can have as many as you want?"
Hearing this, Chong Yi raised his eyelids, and glanced at Ping Zhang inexplicably.
Ping Zhang sneezed suddenly, but he didn't take it to heart, still looking at Song Peiyu with burning eyes.
Song Peiyu smiled, pointed to the box containing the teacups and said, "This set of teacups has been given to His Highness as a birthday present, and will not be fired for anyone other than His Highness. Other styles are just like what Ping Xiaoqi said. As long as the mold is still there, more or less exactly the same can be fired."
Sheng Tairan deliberately took a white porcelain tea cup and put it next to the glass tea cup for comparison.
The teacups that can be used by them are naturally the best things, but they are overshadowed by the glazed teacups.Everyone's eyes will naturally pass over the white porcelain tea cup and put it on the glazed tea cup.
"You want to follow the example of Fenfangting and open a shop specializing in selling colored glaze?" Luo Yong rubbed his palms and said in a muffled voice, "Can you sell me one first, my grandfather's birthday will be next month, and I just haven't thought about it yet. What to give."
"I really want to open a new shop, but it's not a shop selling colored glaze. I'm afraid it won't be until the second half of the year when the shop selling colored glaze opens." Song Peiyu looked at Luo Yong apologetically.
Luo Yong's eyes widened, and the question "Are you stupid" almost blurted out, "Is there any shop more important than Liuli shop? Your Liuli shop will definitely have more customers than Fenfangting when it opens!"
Song Peiyu smiled wryly, "I also want to open a glazed shop sooner, but there are too few patterns that can be baked now, and it is very difficult to succeed. The tea cup I gave to His Highness failed dozens of times before I pieced together such a set. A pot of six lamps without any blemishes."
"What about those defective products?" Luo Yong asked subconsciously.
Song Peiyu said lightly, "Of course it was smashed."
"Damn it?!" Luo Yong said 'Aww', his facial features wrinkled in distress.
Lu Jihe covered his ears and sneered, "What's all the fuss about?"
Everyone asked many questions around the glazed teacup. Song Peiyu was very talkative, except for how the glazed teacup was fired, she almost answered every question.
Instead, Chong Yi became the one who was ignored. He squinted his eyes and looked at Song Peiyu who was surrounded by the crowd. He looked away with just one glance, and turned to look outside the door.
"What's so strange about the smell?" The eldest princess who was hugging the little white cat suddenly asked.
Others also noticed the particularly strong and spicy smell when they heard the words, and it took a long time to discover the source, and they all looked outside the door.
The servants came in with small copper stoves and placed them on the edge of the round table one by one, just in front of each chair.
The copper stove is divided into upper and lower floors, the upper layer is milky white soup, and the lower layer is burning smokeless charcoal.
The boys retreated and came in again, carrying cleaned vegetables, beef and mutton that was transparent but not collapsed, and round meatballs.
Song Peiyu pointed to the table and said, "I'm going to open a food shop first, specializing in selling hot pot."
"Wok!" Ping Zhang leaned close to a small copper stove and smelled it, and said with a smile, "I also eat pots at home in winter, but they are not as fragrant as this soup."
During the speech, everyone sat down one after another, and the more they ate, the more they felt that the 'hot pot' Song Peiyu was talking about was different from the pot they ate in winter.
Not only the meat slices are unbelievably thin, but also more tender and delicious. The most important thing is that it is not greasy at all. Even the eldest princess and the Huiyang county master who have the smallest appetite have eaten several pots.
Chong Yi also seems to be very interested in hot pot, and Song Peiyu sitting next to him watched Chong Yi eat 22 hot pots one after another...
In the end, Song Peiyu directly refused to let the servant continue to serve food, and Chong Yi put down his chopsticks in a still unsatisfied way.
Seeing Chong Yi like this, Song Peiyu couldn't help but fell into deep thought, is there still a need to serve a birthday cake?
Before Song Peiyu could figure it out, the birthday cake had already been served
The three-tiered cake was placed in the center, Song Peiyu didn't ask someone to blow out the candles, and directly asked Chong Yi to cut the cake, and he then gave the cake a second knife, which was regarded as a birthday ceremony.
The crowd ate and played until midnight before dispersing. Song Peiyu was coaxed to drink a lot of wine during the banquet, and felt dizzy when she returned to the room. She only had time to tell Jinbao to store the ancient ink sent by Lu Jihe separately. I fell asleep directly.
This time, she didn't sleep until dawn. Song Peiyu was woken up by Jin Bao in the middle of the night, and she sat on the bed in a daze for a while before realizing what Jin Bao had said to him.
Chong Yi woke up from a nightmare, and Eunuch An asked him to go and have a look.
The little eunuch who came to report the letter was really poor in mental quality. Seeing that Song Peiyu didn't respond, he started to cry intermittently, crying Song Peiyu's mind that hadn't fully recovered from it into a mess, and walked out of the yard in a daze. As soon as the cold wind blew at night, he realized that he had gone out in his pajamas.
I don't know how much time it will take to go back to get dressed, Song Peiyu simply ignored it, and went to Chongyi's yard in three steps in two steps.
As soon as he entered the door, Song Peiyu saw Chong Yi who was also wearing pajamas and standing under the wisteria.
Facing Shang Chongyi's cold eyes, Song Peiyu stopped subconsciously.
He had a strong intuition that Chong Yi's gaze was on his neck.
"Your Highness?" Song Peiyu took a few steps forward and stopped at a distance where both sides could see each other's expressions clearly.
Chong Yi didn't respond, and looked at Song Peiyu with fixed eyes, as if looking at a... dead person.
Song Peiyu felt that he was a bit overwhelmed, and just about to retreat to a safe distance, she asked Eunuch An what to do, but Chong Yi suddenly said, "People from Tianshu Pavilion."
Song Peiyu's body was covered with white sweat because of this sentence. He didn't know what Tianshu Pavilion was, but he knew that Chong Yi could crush him with one hand, which was effortless.
Because Song Peiyu was too aware of her own weakness, Song Peiyu didn't even dare to retreat, for fear of stimulating Chong Yi, who was obviously mentally abnormal, and directly splashed blood on the spot.
The two stood there silently, Song Peiyu regretted that when he found out that he hadn't changed his clothes just now, he didn't go back to his yard to add clothes, he was about to be blown through by the cold wind at night.
I don't know how long it took before Chong Yi, who looked like a sculpture, suddenly moved. His gaze was no longer as cold and unfamiliar as Song Peiyu's when he first entered the courtyard, but gradually became more complicated. He said, "Someone get someone to call the storyteller."
After finishing speaking, Chong Yi looked around and was about to walk towards the gazebo.
Song Peiyu's held breath instantly loosened, her legs were about to fall to the ground, and she subconsciously exclaimed, "Huh?"
Chong Yi, who was ten feet away, appeared beside Song Peiyu in an instant, grabbed Song Peiyu's shoulders, and lifted him up.
Song Peiyu relaxed, and the cold wind that he had already adapted to made him uncomfortable again, and he shivered uncontrollably.
Chong Yi's eyes turned cold, and he immediately let go.
Fortunately, Song Peiyu hugged Chong Yi's arm quickly, so she didn't squat on the ground.
He was about to ask Chong Yi what was wrong with letting go of his hand suddenly, when he suddenly heard a clear sneer.
Song Peiyu turned her head and saw that Lu Jihe, Ping Zhang and Luo Yong were standing at the gate of the yard.
Ping Zhang also covered his face with his hands, if he didn't show two big slits around his eyes, Song Peiyu might be more at ease.
Lu Jihe sneered unabashedly, his eyes were on Song Peiyu's hand.
Song Peiyu followed Lu Jihe's gaze. He had a desire to survive when he grabbed Chong Yi with both hands just now in order not to fall to the ground.So much force was used that most of Chong Yi's baggy pajamas were pulled off, so that Chong Yi could only stand in the night wind with his breasts bare.
Thanks to Chong Yi's chassis being stable enough, otherwise with Song Peiyu's pulling method, Chong Yi would have to be pulled down as well.
It was precisely because Chong Yi's chassis was stable enough that Song Peiyu hung on Chong Yi in an extremely distorted posture.
Chong Yi lowered his eyelids to look at Song Peiyu, and said coldly, "You still want to let go?"
"Oh"
