Chapter 73: King Rui
The queen is a virtuous person, every New Year's Festival, will always give some food in the palace to distribute, the number one in the capital, every festival, early in the morning to order the door to wait, ready-made red seals are also wrapped up first, ready to receive the royal meal.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, there is a spring plate to bite the spring, there is Qingming Kueh Zi in Qingming, there are moon cakes in the Mid-Autumn Festival, duck taro in the Mid-Autumn Festival, there are sweet and salty rice dumplings in Duanyang, and Laba porridge is also scored in the Laba Festival.
It's not a rare thing, it's just that it's not a year or a festival, and the guests at the banquet are just the wives of those families.
The Song family gets a lot a year, in addition to festivals, they also have to have some snacks to eat on ordinary days, which is valued, the qualifications of the old lady Song are there, in addition to the queen's mother, the prince also has something to give from time to time, eat good and use good, always think about the teacher.
Like the Ji family, and Mrs. Yan is present, it is a trivial matter to send things, but the person who sent things has a background, and it is not another person, but it is the second son of the saint, Rui Wang Ke, who wears regular clothes, enters the door and salutes first, and calls Mrs. Yan an uncle, and then I saw Mrs. Wu Mrs. Ji, and called three aunts and six aunts in her mouth.
When King Rui was born, the saint had ascended the throne, and he was already born as a dragon son and grandson, unlike the prince who was born in Qiandi, and had a lot of dealings with the Yan family.
As soon as Mrs. Wu saw King Rui, she first took her eyes to see her sister, and when she saw that the sixth sister who had been with Shun Wenwen since she was a child, she frowned rarely, stretched out her hand to pull her, and laughed generously: "Why is Ke'er here, but the rabbit on the mountain outside the city is going to suffer again?"
They have already performed family rites, and then call the prince a life, those foreign guests and ladies have also hurried to the Yimen, this is located in the Yan family is considered a few juniors, but they are going to worship, as soon as they opened their mouths to call their aunts, these people also breathed a sigh of relief and avoided it.
"Where is hunting, I heard that my aunt was feasting, and I came to bring food. "The two-layer gold-painted peony flowers and leaves are carried by the four inner supervisors, and these are afraid that they can hold two banquets.
King Rui was born like his father, with a slightly black skin and a thick waist, and he was born strong, and it was when the prince was sick and weak, and gave birth to such a baby like a calf, and the saint gave red eggs and wine to the ministers, and this son was born like him, and his strength was also similar, and he was able to open a bow of ten stones at the age of ten, and at this age, the bow was not empty, and an arrow could shoot his eyes without breaking the skin, and the saint hunted him with stirrups, and the saint liked this son very much.
I don't know which one in the capital, King Rui likes the girl of the Ji family, Ji Ziyue has grown so big, she is about to be married, and someone has already come to the door to propose marriage, there are a few scholarly families, and the mother-in-law is kind, and she goes to Mrs. Ji to say something.
It is naturally good to be able to marry the girl of the Ji family, but when the girl of the Ji family grows older, King Rui will run to the Ji family every now and then, send the east to the west, or even the relatives, there are several people surnamed Yan in Jinling City, why didn't I see him send things to the girl of the Cheng Yushi family, a fox fur for a while, a fragrant flower and fruit, and he had to run back every few days. No matter how good the daughter of the Ji family is, she can't compete with Fengzi Longsun.
How do you know that listening to Mrs. Ji's tone is not like this, think about it, Lord Ji has been promoted to a squire, and he will enter the cabinet in a few more years, once he becomes the king of the Yue family, then he can no longer be a Beijing official, for the sake of a prince, he really gave up his career?
The daughter of the Ji family is either the crown princess, and she can't marry King Rui, and those who make up their minds are all standing by and watching, and when the future is decided, they will send a matchmaker to the door.
Mrs. Wu originally asked him if he was about to leave after the door, but he didn't know that King Rui didn't mean this, but sat down calmly, took a sip of tea, and put down the tea bowl: "I don't know if my uncle is not there?" I have an article here to invite him to take a look." ”
There was no shelf at all, Mrs. Ji sighed in her heart, that is, when the saint was still the prince, he went to the door of the Yan family, and the Yan family had to salute him, this posture was so low, what should be the matter, and said with a smile: "He is in the study, you also often come and go, go to your own house, just don't rush into the inner courtyard, the girl's house, thin skin." ”
She spoke softly and gently, with a smile on her face, but Mrs. Wu glanced at her, and even Mrs. Yan couldn't guess what was wrong with her daughter, how could she say such a thing to a junior.
How do you know that King Rui actually responded with a smile: "There are guests, I will stay later, I want to see my sisters, and I also brought a pair of red-eyed rabbits to Tangyuan." ”
Saying that, he turned around and went out, when he was there, only Mrs. Yan was sitting in the house, and when he left, Mrs. Wu looked at no one and nodded at her sister: "What's wrong?"
Mrs. Ji sighed slightly, looked at her mother and sister, and said helplessly: "There are cranes in the backyard, peacocks, and a lot of white pheasants and green ducks. ”
When Mrs. Wu heard her say this, she reached out and pinched her cheek, the two sisters were not close to each other, but the marriage was getting closer day by day, Mrs. Wu pinched: "Mother teach her a lesson, she is bold, and she is talking nonsense in front of you." ”
Mrs. Yan only has such a biological daughter as Mrs. Wu, and the rest are concubines, this daughter is careful and careful, and she hides a lot of fears, but she is married, and the days go back more and more, and she is not so coquettish when she is young, and the mother of three children is getting smaller and smaller day by day.
Mrs. Ji gave her mother and sister a look, and then she sighed: "Our family is extremely rich, and my father has such a thing, and it is not a good thing to have another princess." ”
As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Yan also sighed: "Your father's hand is stretched out. "When my daughter is older, what she can hide is no longer hidden, not to mention that now that she is an official, she will always be attacked by others, and she will always be attacked by others, wearing the hat of her relatives, and this official should also be aggrieved.
"You're right and you're not right. Mrs. Wu glanced at her sister: "In the past, you were bright-eyed and bright-hearted, why did you become blind when it was your turn, are you willing to cousin, Ziyue is willing to be?"
Mrs. Ji smiled bitterly: "That girl doesn't know who she looks like, she doesn't have half a sentence of truth in her mouth, and I don't want to make her complain about me with a marriage letter, but the road in the palace is not easy to walk." ”
The prince is sick and weak, and it is okay to live a long time, but what if he doesn't live long? The queen's meaning is not clear, after all these years, being a queen is longer than the years when she was a sister, no matter how sympathetic she is, she can't tell her what she said, not to mention that her son is really married, and she is outside the family, and she will not be allowed to return to Beijing again.
In addition to this, Mrs. Ji still has hidden worries in her heart, but these are not easy to say out, the two brothers are so close, one is sick and weak and the other is strong, and the brothers of the same mother are also frightened when they look at it, how dare they marry their daughter.
"Why is this, what you think is too bad, according to me, it is better to ask the girl, tell her the good and the bad, and see which way she wants to go. The older Mrs. Yan gets, the more generous and generous she is, seeing that her daughter is anxious, she is not in a hurry, she took a cup and took a sip of tea, thinking of Ye Wenxin's Zhilan-like character: "The girl of the Ye family said that she was going to send it to the election?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the two daughters knew what she was going to say, and Mrs. Wu smiled first: "If it weren't for Niangti, I wouldn't have remembered that her appearance was a little similar to that of the second sister when she was young." ”
She was the daughter of the Yan family when she was young, she became a princess first, the saint ascended the throne and became a queen, the Yan family was rich and glorious, and it was from her that Ye Wenxin was like Yan Mingzhen when she was not out of the cabinet, and she was also a teenager, and later became a princess and then a queen, and her appearance gradually changed.
"For your father's sake, the lady in the palace also suffered, but the family's expenses did not come from him. Yan Lianzhang retracted his hand when he saw it, and he did not have an official position, but the salt transportation business did not stop, Mrs. Yan frowned, but she couldn't say this to her daughter.
The family outside said that several little ladies inside also knew that King Rui had come to Jifu, and the two red boxes were brought in, and the table was full of wine and food, and the begonia flower table was stacked with two-layer high dim sum, all of which were made by the palace imperial diet, manna cakes, Ge Lao cakes, cloth cakes, money cakes, amber cakes, and there were seventeen or eighteen kinds of dim sum alone.
The girl of the Wu family pursed her lips and laughed as soon as she swept her eyes, and pulled Ji Ziyue's sleeve: "Cousin has made it clear that he has come to see you." "The things on this table are all loved by Ji Ziyue, the honey bean filling is milky and crispy, with clear tea, she can eat a plate.
There are some things that my mother doesn't say, but I can't hide it from my sister, Ji Ziyue's face is slightly red, and she looks at her sister, knowing that he is outside, her heart is pounding fast, and the smile between the corners of her mouth can't be hidden.
The little girls watched this battle once, and they all hid their smiles, where can such a mind be hidden, and they don't break it one by one, they get together
A turning flower pot, Ji Ziyue's mind was not on this, and he lost a few games and drank a few glasses of wine after playing for a while.
The girl of the Wu family even laughed this time, Song Zhimei was the expert on this, who knew that the girl of the Wu family was on the field, she had no time to win, and when the girl of the Wu family won another game, she pointed to Ji Ziyue and said: "Cousin Caitou has lost all of it, and I will pick a plum blossom for me, I will be a plum, but I don't want to be aside." ”
Frangipani grew up in the Reading Pavilion, King Rui didn't leave, naturally he was in the Reading Pavilion with Master Ji, Ji Ziyue naturally wanted to see him, although the parents at home didn't say it, she also knew that they didn't want to, saw him, asked him what he meant, stretched out his hand and touched his cousin's nose: "You're weird, I'll go, you can play." ”
As he spoke, he walked out of the open flower hall and went forward, Shi Gui stood behind Ye Wenxin, and watched Song Zhimei pull her sleeve: "I drank a few more cups, it's too hot in the house, my cousin will accompany me to take a walk outside the plum blossom forest." ”
