Mistress of the Mysterious Inn - C228
Ershan intentionally said, “Uncle Biao said, you and the other Princess of the Prince Shen’s Mansion have made this business sound and sound. “How come I don’t remember how I taught you how to escort a guest? If grandma knew, he would definitely say that we brothers are related by blood. Naturally, little brother will know about the matters that big brother knows, and little brother will know about …”
Bi Zhenye smiled, “That’s true, we brothers have hearts of our own, so it’s natural that I know how to do it.”
Ershan laughed: “But you haven’t married off yet, what I will do, aren’t there some things you can’t do even if you wanted to?”
Bi Zhenye was stunned, but his brother quickly left. Bi Zhenye chased after him unhappily and asked: What do you mean by that?
Ershan said, “Lian Yi and I both thought that you would bring back a wife this time.”
Bi Zhenye said with a stern face: “Children’s wedding, how can it be so casual?”
Ershan asked with a smile: “Then do you have that person in your heart? Of course, the reason why I dared to face Lian Yi’s relationship back then was because I believed that I would be able to pass the examination. It was also because, in the end, I was still a son of the Prime Minister’s Estate and wasn’t truly poor enough to ask for the wealth of a Prefect’s family. However, the difficult problem that is in front of you right now is not just the threshold. ”
The person in front of him had a solemn expression as he attentively listened to every word.
Ershan continued to speak: “In my opinion, for a small hall, the threshold to become a government official is very high. If it was in front of you, it wouldn’t be considered anything at all. But other than the Emperor, the threshold of Prince Shen’s Mansion was as high for everyone in the world. Whether it is a son of a Marquis, or a commoner, I am afraid there is no difference in the eyes of the Master Shenwang. The only difference is that the Princess does not fancy him, and the person he likes, does not have good moral character, and does not treat his daughter well. ”
Bi Zhenye’s spirit was lifted, his brother’s words had truly touched upon his heart.
Ershan saw that he had regained his spirit, and laughed: “Your mother’s matter, how you did it, the entire capital knows, your character is impeccable, what’s left is, do you have the guts to fight for it.”
Bi Zhenye muttered to himself for a while, then asked: “How do you know that I have feelings for the Princess?”
Ershan patted his brother’s shoulder: “During the New Year’s Eve banquet, have you ever seen anyone else with your eyes? There is no need to dwell on what happened after that, at my inn. ”
“You saw it?” Bi Zhenye was extremely embarrassed.
“I’m afraid there are a lot of people who saw it.” Ershan said, “You have been together in the inn for so many days, how did Princess perform?”
Bi Zhenye wanted to say a lot of things, but he did not know where to start talking. The assembly was about to begin, so he did not allow them to say anything more.
In today’s assembly, the Minister of Public Works had asked the Emperor for his resignation in public. Some people guessed that the matter of the destroyed forest had implicated him, but since the Minister was already old, there was a chance he could resign at this time.
As a result, the position of the Minister was vacant, and he would be chosen to be promoted. After the competition ended, when Bi Zhenye met Ershan again, he realised that he had a good chance of being promoted to assistant minister.
Although he was only at the fourth rank official level with a lot of bulls in the capital, in his heart, he still felt a little more confident. After the brothers discussed this matter, they had made the decision that if Bi Zhenye could successfully be promoted to the position of assistant minister in the Ministry of Industry, then they would ask for Prince Shen’s Mansion for his marriage.
Inside the Prince Shen’s Mansion, Little Qing was still the same as before, attending to her parents at home and entering the palace to accompany her grandmother and sister-in-law. Other than going back and forth between the imperial city and the Duke Palaces, she basically didn’t visit anywhere else.
In the eyes of the people around her, her heart was as calm as still water, as if Bi Zhenye was just a passerby to her. But why did she do this?
Deep within the palace, the emperor endured the pain caused by the imperial physician’s acupuncture. His expression was one of puzzlement and bewilderment, while the imperial physician was nervous. It wasn’t easy for him to finish everything, so he wiped his sweat and immediately retreated.
Siyan carried his daughter and placed her in his embrace. The emperor’s expression immediately became gentle, and the father and daughter pair became bored for a moment. Seeing that the emperor’s mood had improved, Siyan brought the medicine over and told him to drink.
The Emperor returned to his face with a look of execution, and drank the medicine angrily.
Siyan said in annoyance: “These few days, I’ve scared the servants until they were trembling, and exhausted. When my daughter has grown up, I’ll be able to leave her alone.”
The emperor smiled and said, “Don’t be like mother and aunt, throwing everything to your daughter. In the future, your daughter will not be willing to marry. You will have to worry about family matters.”
Siyan asked: “The Emperor said Little Qing?”
Xiang Run nodded, “We cannot go to the Chuanyu, why is there no more to do? Did you and royal sister misunderstand? ”
Siyan shook her head, “Is Your Majesty not understanding Little Qing’s modesty? She knows her own identity, and she has the honor and dignity of a royal family and a prince’s mansion. Compared to who she’s marrying, she probably cares more about how she’s married. ”
The emperor scoffed, “The two mistresses in royal uncle’s family, aunt is a spoiled and noble woman, and royal sister is tyrannical and lawless. What they do not have, is all on Little Qing.”
He lowered his head and kissed the little princess, making her giggle. The emperor then asked, “Yan’Er, our daughter, what kind of girl will she become in the future?”
Siyan laughed: “As long as you are like aunts.”
The Emperor shook his head. “Don’t be like her first aunt.”
A faint voice came from the entrance: “What’s wrong with being like me?”
At this moment, Ershan wrote a letter home and had someone deliver it to his Baisha County. As soon as the messenger left, someone else came to visit, it was the letter from Lian Yi’s mother, Mrs. Meng.
However, the words in the letter were vague, and did not say if it was serious or not, but there was always the feeling of wanting to trick Lian Yi to return. Lian Yi was confident that she understood her mother, and told Ershan, there was probably something strange.
Ershan laughed: What can’t I blame, did I kidnap you and sell you off? “Amazing, it’s for your brother. What do you want?”
Lian Yi asked: “Then do I have to go back or not? You can’t just call me back when she’s got something going on in the future, it’s been a long distance and it’s not something to be trifled with. ”
Ershan asked her in reply: “Is it because of me that you deliberately distanced yourself from your mother-in-law? If it was for me, there’s no need.
Lian Yi said helplessly: “Then I’ll go, if you can’t leave, don’t bother about me, just send a few more people to follow me.”
The spring wind blew by quickly, but Lian Yi had not yet set off. In the blink of an eye, it was already the start of summer.
When she sat down, she had no choice but to spread her legs. She looked very unrefined, but her stomach was too big, and her legs could not be closed.
In the afternoon of the same day, Zhixian led the common people to compete in the dragon boat competition at the Baisha River. After winning the first place in the village, they received ten silver taels and a pig, and they were able to grind their fists in order to win more than the bounty.
Xiaowan was standing inside the door with her stomach puffed up, when she saw her father, she came with Wen Bao and Wen Juan.
Although Master Mu was now both a father and a mother, after his death, he actually felt less burdened and more cheerful. Previously, when he met the people at the inn, he would always hide far away, but today, he deliberately stopped and gave his daughter a basket of rice dumplings that he had cooked.
The Xiaowan accepted the dumplings, telling them to be careful, and gave Wen Bao two copper coins as snacks. After that, when most of the people went to the riverside, he closed the door, and the family sat in a carriage, also going to the riverside to join in the fun.
Little Pei brought Aunt Susu’s little sister and shuttled through the crowd. Ling Chaofeng repeatedly reminded her son not to play crazily, but Xiaowan said that it was rare to see such a lively day, so he didn’t restrain his children.
Susu was afraid of the sun, hence she followed Xiaowan and sat on the carriage to enjoy the cool air. Seeing her daughter running with Little Pei, she said in a assured manner, “It’s fine, it’s normal for children to stumble and stumble.”
Aunt Zhang and Uncle Biao brought some food over. A while ago, someone sent a boat here to deliver some fresh fruits, which were fruits that could not be grown in the Li Prefecture. The fragrance was immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding villagers.
Today, everyone was no longer afraid of Ling Xiao Inn like they were in the past. Seeing that they were all beautiful wives, some women brought their children to chat, and the children would naturally get a bite to eat.
The Uncle Biao was very hospitable, he took out all the food and distributed it to the children, and there were many people surrounding her. When the Xiaowan heard her aunts exhorting her to be more careful when giving birth, suddenly, someone shouted from afar, “The children are in the water!”
