[Qing Chuan + Red Mansion] Midas touch

Chapter 116

Eleven has reason to suspect that Zuo Xi's other pen pal is an ignorant fellow.Even if not, he is definitely not a scholar who is familiar with history books.

Through chatting back and forth with Zuo Xi, Eleven has already confirmed that that pen pal is a person from later generations.It is likely to be people hundreds of years from now.

He is not very familiar with the history of the Qing Dynasty, so what he can tell Zuo Xi is extremely limited.Another one, he doesn't care about Zuo Xi. If he cares about Zuo Xi, he would look up historical data for Zuo Xi's sake and tell Zuo Xi how to get benefits and how to avoid risks even if he didn't know it.

But what puzzled Eleven was Zuo Xi's attitude.

Comparing his heart to his heart, if he was really a scholar before Chengzu, when he found that he could communicate with people hundreds of years later, he would definitely find a way to know more things.

Even if it is to avoid risks.

But Zuo Xi, how should I put it, it's intriguing that she didn't bother the man to keep questioning her.

In a blink of an eye, Eleven thought of Zuo Xi's shocking remarks through the back of the paper, and felt that it was not surprising that such a character would do such a thing.

Take back your mind, let go of your heart on the [-]th, and suddenly come up, maybe hundreds of years later, there will be no inexplicable feeling of the Qing Dynasty, pat Zuo Xi on the shoulder to calm Zuo Xi's heart, "I calculate that there are still more than seven months, I want to come It's still okay. Let's take a look when it gets closer, and if there are any obstacles, then we can move the wedding date back."

Zuo Xi pursed her lips, agreeing with Eleven's words very much: "If the wind is not right, it will be possible to move the days back."

After the matter was settled in this way, Eleven stretched out his hand and pulled Zuo Xi to go out, while asking someone to take a cloak for Zuo Xi, "The wind direction is not right recently, so you can't be too cautious. Go tell your mother-in-law and sister-in-law, Until the dust settles, go out as little as possible."

Zuo Xi nodded, it's better not to be too conspicuous for people like them, lest they sweep the tail of the typhoon and make the people above take their anger out on them.

"I was about to ask someone to deliver something to Miss Lin, so I also told her. In fact, it doesn't matter if you don't say anything, she is always good." Holding hands with Eleven and walking towards the upper room, Zuo Xi finished talking and Daiyu said Speaking of Miaoyu and Baoqin, "Let's wait for Miaoyu's marriage. It's better to wait until the turmoil is over. Girl Qin and Tiao'er said before that they would go back to Jinling, saying that they would serve their aunt before their wedding next year." Come up together. I want to send their brothers and sisters back as soon as possible, do you think it can be done?"

By the way, she still has to send a message to Sister Feng.

"Yes." Eleven thought for a while, and couldn't help laughing: "It's cold early this year, so it's okay to let their brothers and sisters go back earlier."

While speaking, the two arrived at the door of the upper room. The little girl at the door saw the two coming, and while saluting and lifting the curtain, she announced to the inside with a crisp voice.

Aunt Xue, Wanyan family, Baoqin and Miaoyu are playing cards around the table.Hearing that Zuo Xi and Shi Shi had come, except for Aunt Xue, the other three stood up.

When the ceremony was over, Eleven sat in front of Zuo Xi with ginseng tea, and let Zuo Xi learn what they said before to a few people.

Eleven had his own source of news, and Zuo Xi paid attention to this matter, so at this moment, no one in the entire Xue family except the two of them knew the news that the prince was deposed.

Now when Zuo Xi said the news that the prince was deposed with a calm face, everyone in the room widened their eyes in shock.

Mom, this is a big deal.

Aunt Xue's perspective is very strange, the first thought is that the crown prince had no mother since he was a child, and then she sighed for a while, without the protection of a mother, a concubine can't do anything like a concubine.

"Mom, what do you think, your son-in-law is the concubine of that family, okay?"

Aunt Xue was startled, and then cast a bewildered glance at Eleven, who was sitting next to Zuo Xi, who was in a beautiful and gentle manner.

As if he didn't hear what the girls said, Eleven lowered his eyes and stared at the teacup in his hand with a serious expression of appreciating antiques.

If Queen Hesheli is still alive, maybe the second child may not be like this.

The corners of Wanyan's eyes twitched, and she hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over, "Grandma Qiu sent a post asking us ladies to go to a banquet and a theater in the future. I'm afraid it won't be possible." Those who knew thought it was a celebration of the deposed prince.

"Who knows, maybe people will do more things if they get the news. We don't care what other people do. It's decent to just close the door and live our own lives. Sister-in-law also told the people in charge at home, never dare to do this It's time for something to happen." Zuo Xi suddenly thought of the matter that after the crown prince was abolished, Lao Kang asked someone to recommend the crown prince.At that time, everyone recommended the eighth elder brother, and finally the eighth elder brother fell the worst.They are all from the Yikun Palace lineage now. According to their status and blood, the fifth elder brother who was born by the concubine Man and raised by the queen mother is the best target.If someone can't think about recommending Fifth Master. Thinking of this, Zuo Xi turned to look at Eleven. She had to talk to Eleven about this matter.

Eleven was a little confused by Zuo Xi's glance, and she didn't know where she was thinking.Seeing that Zuo Xi withdrew his gaze and asked someone to take the almanac to check the auspicious dates for travel, Eleven was still wondering if Zuo Xi had something to say to her.

Two days later, it will be an auspicious day for travel. After reading it, Zuo Xi handed Huang Li out, "This matter is still noisy. If some people are not involved, it will never stop. I wanted to keep you and Tiao'er for a longer time. It's been a few days, but now I dare not keep you. Go early to avoid any troubles. You and Scorpio must remember when you go back, no matter who said what, don't be silly and meddle Come to the matter of the royal family taking over the heir apparent." Those who have no power and power are the easiest to become cannon fodder.

"Sister, don't worry, my brother and I are not that careless people." Seeing Zuo Xi's order, Baoqin also knew the seriousness of the situation, nodded solemnly, and couldn't help but asked worriedly, "Will it affect my sister?"

Zuo Xi shook his head, and after thinking about his family's relationship, he smiled at Bao Qin, "As long as Bao Yu doesn't show up suddenly, rise up against the Qing Dynasty and revive Ming Dynasty, our family should be fine."

"I remember you told me before that the family of concubines belonged to the prince?" Hearing this on Eleventh, he suddenly thought of Jia Baoyu's sister, Jia Yuanchun.

I don't know if the deposed prince will pull out the carrot and bring out the mud this time.

"Too much to forget about her." Zuo Xi patted his forehead and said, "For Third Prince Zhu, you probably won't blame her now, right?"

Speaking of the third prince Zhu, Eleven took a funny look at Zuo Xi, and when he was soft-hearted, he was softer than anyone else.When biting with bared teeth, it can hit the enemy's seven inches straight.

Zuo Xi rubbed his nose, pretending not to see the ridicule in Eleven Eyes, and continued to talk about the court affairs with a few female relatives at home.

That’s all for Aunt Xue, the other three are all young girls, except for Bao Qin’s marriage, there are still some doubts, and the remaining two, one is already a family member of an official family, and the other’s marriage will definitely not be low. Why don't you take advantage of the fact that everyone is gathered together at this moment, and use the deposed crown prince as a topic to talk about the court affairs.

The crown prince has been abolished, and what the world cares most about is who can become the next crown prince.

When the female relatives talked about the candidate for the crown prince, out of instinct and selfishness, they hoped that it was the Yikun Palace lineage who took advantage of the sky.

As for the lineage of Yikun Palace, the one who is most likely to reach the top is Fifth Elder Brother.

"Your heart is unpredictable, we can't predict it." Zuo Xi rolled his eyes, and said to the female relatives and Eleven in the room, "How about... let's make a bet. Each person takes out a favorite thing , whoever wins, these things belong to them.”

Eleven: I report that someone cheated.

Eleven twitched the corners of his mouth, suppressed his slander and nodded cooperatively, "I just got a new Jiaowei guqin, let's use it for fun."

Zuo Xi saw Eleven on the road, tilted his head happily and thought for a while, and then said to everyone, "Then I'll bet on the Kesi eight-horse screen in my room." This thing is not only valuable, but also rare.If he didn't know that this thing was still his own in the end, Zuo Xi would not be willing to use it as a gimmick.

Seeing that the two of them said that, others felt that this development was a bit weird and nonsensical, but they took advantage of the trend and placed their bets.

Miaoyu's bet was a set of her favorite tea set. Zuo Xi told Miaoyu to change it on the spot, saying that someone had used it, and she was shocked.Miaoyu choked when she heard this, and saw that her own uncle was still nodding in agreement, so she had to change the snow water that had been stored in the altar for many years as a bet.Not wanting to be disgusted by Zuo Xi again, he was so angry that he threw an apple at Zuo Xi, angrily took out a copy of Master Yan's authentic works, and finally dismissed his old and disrespectful aunt.

Baoqin is a set of sapphire jewelry. Aunt Xue brought out a pair of excellent bracelets. After thinking about it, Wanyan took out a piece from the dowry that can be placed in the Duobao Pavilion as a decoration, and can also be used to carve seals. The best Shoushan Stone.

After the bet was made, another small box was asked to be taken, and everyone wrote down the sequence of the candidate for the crown prince they thought on the paper, and then put it in the small box, and opened it when there was a result.

Zuo Xi smiled like a stealing cat. Seeing this on Shishi, she also felt that it was not bad to take her daughter-in-law to cheat her mother's family.After dinner at Xue's house and leaving, Zuo Xi smiled and sent her to the gate of the other courtyard.

When modern people fall in love, their boyfriends send their girlfriends to their doorsteps, but when it comes to Zuo Xi, it's the other way around.When Zuo Xi thought of this, not only was he not annoyed, but he also felt overwhelmed with happiness, and there was no one else.

Originally, Zuo Xi never thought of going to another courtyard, but she had something to tell Shiyi, so she followed Shiyi to another courtyard.

The two didn't go back to the house, but went to the rose garden to chat.

Sitting among the roses, and setting up three and five palace lanterns, the atmosphere is so good that it is only a steak.

Zuo Xi rubbed her stomach which was still quite full, regretfully decided to have a candlelight dinner with Shi Shi tomorrow night, and then got down to business.

Two things, one is worrying that Lord Nine will not support Eighth Master, and when the crown prince is deposed, Lao Kangtou asks everyone to recommend the prince, and then he will sneak out his own brother Fifth Master in turn.

The other thing is about Baoqin.

Zuo Xi doesn't know what kind of political power field the Mei family is. If it's the Baye's party, he might as well play a trick and let the Mei family take the initiative to dissolve the marriage with Bao Qin while the Baye is at its most brilliant.

"In 35 years, Fifth Brother went to the battlefield with Huang Ama, and accidentally lost his face. Huang Ama has many heirs, Fifth Brother," Eleven shook his head, "I wanted to say it earlier, but I didn't say anything because I was afraid it would affect the game. "

Zuo Xi froze for a moment, recalled the scar on Fifth Master's face, and then quickly blinked at Eleven a few times, "Huh?"

Just because of a scar about the length of his index finger, Fifth Master was deprived of the right to inherit the throne, so what?

Eleven shook his head and said softly, "Brother Wu was raised under the empress dowager's knee since he was a child, and he couldn't speak Chinese when he was ten years old. He is the one who is the worst at learning Chinese among the brothers..."

The Qing Dynasty has always been pulling and suppressing Mongolia. The fifth master who was raised by the queen mother and the tenth master who married a Mongolian noble daughter as his concubine Fujin completely lost their inheritance rights from the moment they became related to Mongolia.

After Eleven finished explaining the hidden rules of the game to Zuo Xi, Zuo Xi's first thought turned out to be——no wonder Jiu Ye would fully support Ba Ye and not his own brother.

Knowing that everyone knows that the fifth master has lost the right of inheritance, then there is no need for Zuo Xi to worry about this matter.

"The opportunity is rare, and it would be a pity to miss it." Zuo Xi was annoyed enough when he thought of the enthusiasm of the Mei family in the past few months. It’s so quick, those who don’t know think what’s wrong with the girl from my Xue family.”

Baoqin's decision to retire was not because Zuo Xi was bestowed to marry Prince Fujin.Baoqin came to her senses after seeing what happened to Sister Feng, and then she made up her mind not to mess with the Mei family.On the Mei family's side, because Xue Pan became the fifth rank, Zuo Xi stayed by Eleven's side, fearing that retiring the engagement would offend the Yikun Palace lineage, so he hesitated and wanted to wait and see for a while.When the Mei family was watching the Xue family, and quietly riding a donkey to find a horse, the Xue family gave birth to another prince, Fujin, and the position of the Mei family changed completely.I look forward to this marriage even more than the brothers and sisters of the Xue family who were married in Beijing in 45.

I used to think that the Mei family had a bit of character, but looking at it now, let alone Zuo Xi who has such a bad temper, even the Baoqin brothers and sisters think that there is something wrong with the family style of this family. Marrying a girl into it is tantamount to jumping into a fire pit .

"I don't understand this kind of thing. Fortunately, there is still Tian Guo." Baoqin's matter is also clear on Shishi. At this time, seeing Zuo Xi's undisguised expression of boredom with the Mei family, she would rather spend some thought and means I also want to use the trick to dissolve the marriage. After thinking about it on Eleventh, and pretending to be innocent with a smile, I raised my voice and called Tian Guo to come forward, told Tian Guo what Zuo Xi said just now, and then told him to go. Check the situation of the Guo Luoluo family where the Mei family and the Eight Fortunes are located, Prince An and Concubine Liang's natal family. "If you finish the errand, you Fujin will definitely be rewarded."

Tian Guo felt that his master was becoming less and less human, but he still called Zuo Xi as Fujin's thank you for an unfulfilled reward according to Shi Shi's words.

Zuo Xi wasn't embarrassed, he just gave Eleven a sideways look with a half-smile.

"You have brewed all the tea in the world."

Seeing the sky, Zuo Xi pointed at him and said 'tea'. Although he didn't understand what he meant, he knew it was not a good word.But seeing Zuo Xi's expression, knowing that he hadn't really annoyed him, Shi Shi was more or less confident.

Today is not the middle of the month, the moon is incomplete and not round, but enjoying such a first-quarter moon among the rose bushes is also very interesting.

After the two talked about their business, they leaned together to enjoy the moon and chat.When I was talking about Chang'e's relationship, I saw Xiaozi running over in a hurry, "Miss, please go home, my wife has passed out."

Zuo Xi's expression changed when he heard the words, and he asked in an urgent and quick tone: "What happened?"

Xiaozi glanced at Eleven, who was supporting Zuo Xi, and replied clearly: "Second Master Bao of Rongguo Mansion, it's reversed."

...? "
