Chapter 056: Merlin
After the matter was settled, Roche looked at the hourglass, and it was already the middle of the hour! Looking down, I saw that Lu Shuo's eyes were half-narrowed, and he was already a little drowsy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Thinking that Lu Shuo had been running around for several days, although he was on the official ship, the journey was arduous!
The old lady felt sorry for her grandson, so she simply stopped the topic and reached out for the teacup.
That's what it means to send off a guest.
Yuan had some doubts.
On the first day of returning to Beijing, it stands to reason that he should also meet Lu Fangcai first, no matter what, he is also the head of this Jingguo Mansion.
But the Yuan family understands Mrs. Lu's temperament, she is a rule-abiding person, and she has always been the same, so he doesn't dare to disobey her orders.
"Then the daughter-in-law will retire!"
The Yuan family and the Bai family got up at the same time and saluted Mrs. Lu.
"Hmm-"
Roche took a sip of tea and nodded slightly.
He also pointed to Lu Shuo and explained to Yuan: "This journey is hard, Brother Shuo is the time to grow his body, it is serious to rest and rest!" It's cold in the morning, it's cold and windy, and there is nothing big in the house tomorrow, so you don't have to rush to ask for peace, let him have breakfast in his own room and warm up his body before coming back. ”
"Yes." Yuan lowered his head.
"It's still my grandmother who loves me!"
As early as when the Yuan family and the two retired, Lu Shuo came to his senses.
At this time, after listening to Luo's explanation, Lu Shuo's heart was warm, so he stood in front of Luo's and said sweet words.
Although family affection is innate, after all, there are close and sparse, and it still needs to be maintained.
Luo can be regarded as the top-level character in the Lu Mansion, and it is not a bad thing to have a close relationship.
Roche patted his face and said with a smile: "This mouth is really like eating honey!" ”
The ancestors and grandsons reluctantly talked for a while, and then the Yuan family took Lu Shuo and the Bai family out of the door.
As soon as I walked out of Songhe Hall, a cold wind blew, and it was cold and poured into people's clothes.
Lu Shuo tightened the fox fur edge of the emerald green peacock golden thread crane on his body, and his feet did not stop, striding behind Yuan and Bai.
Several mothers-in-law took the lead in the front, playing four sheep's horn palace lamps, the lights were dense, and the surrounding landscape was very beautiful under the dark night.
Yuan raised his eyes and looked ahead, his voice was soft, and he apologized to the Bai family beside him: "Although it is late, according to the rules, it is time to meet the eldest brother!" Now our mother and son have returned to Zhiyuan on their own without waiting for anyone, which is a bit rude! If it is convenient for the sister-in-law, please confess in front of the eldest brother. ”
Bai smiled disapprerovingly: "Brother and sister are polite, it's your eldest brother!" Today, Zhou Shangshu's only son got married, saying that he ate the first tour banquet and returned when he was united, but he has not had any news until now, and he doesn't know what he was stumped by, and it is good that his younger brothers and sisters are not to blame. ”
The Shangshu surnamed Zhou in this court is Zhou Liangfu, that is, Zhou Liangfu, the secretary of the ministry!
The officials have real power.
Yuan's heart moved, but he smiled and said, "I see! I just don't know where this bride is, so it's blessed! This week's lady is a well-known kind person in the Jingshi! ”
Bai Shi bent the corners of his mouth and smiled: "It's not! Mrs. Zhou is kind and gentle, Young Master Zhou is motivated, and Zhou Shangshu is in a high position, how many people have sharpened their heads, and they all want to marry their daughters into the Zhou Mansion, but now only the young granddaughter of the Maoguo family has got her wish and is the daughter-in-law of the Zhou family! ”
Young granddaughter?
That is the eldest daughter of Cai Shaoyu, the third son of Mao Guogong.
Mao Guogong's four sons, the son and the third son are all descendants.
Although Cai Shaoyu has no chance with the title, he is a capable person, and now he is serving as the commander of the Jingwei of Zhengsanpin, and the commander of the Jingwei is the head of the Jingwei Command and Envoy Division, in charge of the guard army, and the Gongwei Beijing Division, which has a major stake.
The concubine of the prince of Mao Guo entered the East Palace in the eighteenth year of Yuan Feng and became the crown princess, and the prince of Mao Guo was already on the ship of the prince's family.
Yuan raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.
Didn't Lu Yun say that Zhou Shangshu was a pure minister and had always been neutral?
Now that the Zhou family and the Cai family are married, is this going to stand in line?
Yuan's face was solemn, but his voice was soft and bright, and he looked very cheerful, and said: "I have seen the granddaughter of the Cai family, she looks like a flower and a moon. Young Master Zhou won the two Jinshi rankings at a young age, these two talented women are a perfect match! ”
Everyone was walking very fast, and when Yuan said this, the two groups of people had already left Qi Garden.
The two concubines parted here, and the Yuan family led Lu Shuo, riding the moonlight, towards the Zhiyuan in Xifu.
The moonlight dissolved, and Lu Shuo observed the scenery of Zhiyuan through the dim light, and saw that there was a row of courtyard walls with blue bricks and tiles, and the walls were undulating and uneven, which was quite Jiangnan charm.
Outside the courtyard wall, there is a laurel tree with vigorous branches, which is said to be more than 100 years old.
Stepping through the four-petal flower-shaped moon cave gate, walking along the bluestone path to the inside, you can see a large area of red plums planted in the courtyard.
Although it is nearly February, but the plum blossoms are still blooming very vigorously, the fragrance is far overflowing, not close to its tree, not seeing its flowers, there is a floating dark fragrance bursts to attack, refreshing into the spleen.
"There is no rhyme in the incense, and the Qingji does not know the cold!"
This situation is consistent with the artistic conception in the poem "Plum Blossoms" written by Cui Daorong.
Lu Shuo smelled the fragrance of plums, and his heart was happy, so he sighed: "This plum tree is really well maintained, if it snows, the red plum is cold alone, I don't know what kind of beautiful scenery it is!" ”
After speaking, he took another heavy breath.
Yuan scolded him with a smile: "It's strange again, the night breeze is cold and biting, I carefully catch typhoid fever, and tomorrow I will cry out for a sore throat." ”
Lu Shuo was not afraid, smiled, walked to Yuan's side in a few steps, and asked, "Mother, when was this plum blossom planted?" How did you plant so much at once? ”
Although Zhiyuan is the West Mansion, it is larger than the inkstone garden where Lu Fang, the prince of Jingguo, lives, and the pavilions and pavilions in the inkstone garden are complete, but they are not as good as the natural charm of Meilin.
Yuan stretched out his hand to change the hand stove for him, and said with a smile: "Your grandfather loves red plums the most, this Zhiyuan has one hundred and eighty plum trees, I heard that his old man took your father and uncle to plant them before his death, and now twenty or thirty years have passed, and the house has specially invited a florist to take care of it. ”
Grandfather planted! That's a lot of meaning.
The mother and son talked and laughed, got out of Meilin, crossed the Jade Belt Bridge, and arrived at the Ningliu Hall in the main courtyard where the Yuan family lived in a blink of an eye.
The house was incense-smoking, and it was warm. Lu Shuo changed his homely clothes in addition to his clothes in the warm pavilion, and was forced by Zhu Yi to drink a bowl of ginger soup, and then he felt that his body had warmed up again.
Yuan had already asked about the arrangements of Zhiyuan in the small flower hall.
"Madame, don't worry, the two gentlemen have temporarily arranged the guest rooms in the front yard first, Xiaoshanju and Yumeixuan have also been cleaned up, and there are braziers in these two rooms tonight, and someone is left to guard them, and they will be able to live in tomorrow when they bake for one night."
Zhou's mother replied with a smile.
Yuan was very satisfied with Zhou's mother's efficiency, and praised: "You are a capable person and reliable in your work, with you, I have no worries." ”
Mother Zhou didn't dare to say anything, and said with a smile: "The old slave doesn't dare to take credit, I heard the girl Zijin say, the eldest lady knows that we are coming back, and arranges people to clean several main courtyards in Xifu every day, if it weren't for this, the old slave wouldn't have the ability to do things so quickly." ”
Lu Shuo had just walked into the flower hall and was hearing this sentence.
