Chapter 429 Xu Fu
Zhen Wanyi's watery eyes glanced at the Empress Dowager and lowered her embarrassment, "My daughter-in-law will come over with Brother Heng in the future." "www.biquge.info I'm really embarrassed to say that in fact, Brother Heng has to get up earlier than her."
Seeing Zhen Wanyi's shy appearance, the imperial concubine flashed a trace of understanding in her eyes, and said with a smile: "You don't have to be restrained, what it was like in the mansion before will be the same in the future, if it is to make me uncomfortable, then I will become a burden." Do you want to leave the house today?"
Zhen Wanyi nodded with a wry smile, "Yes, the wife of Lord Xu, the Chinese scholar, invited a banquet, and she couldn't push it off." ”
The imperial concubine looked at Zhen Wanyi's reluctance, and knew that this was another banquet that she didn't want to go to, but couldn't go to.
"In fact, this kind of banquet is just a scene, what the final result of those little ladies depends on the meaning of His Majesty and the Queen Mother, not necessarily the talent can be selected, and it is not necessarily that the ordinary posture can not be selected, this draft is not just based on the appearance, but also depends on the family's family background to see the ability of the father and brother. Of course, posture still plays a role to a certain extent. If others ask about you, just say yes, everyone is good, and it naturally has nothing to do with you who Your Majesty and the Queen Mother choose. ”
Qi Rong mentioned this kind of thing slightly, but he didn't like the princess who nodded at her like this, "The daughter-in-law also knows, but those ladies all have hope and push their daughters in front of me one by one, and the daughter-in-law is always difficult to refuse." Who made His Majesty a fragrant bun, those ladies were simply green eyes, as if their daughter had nowhere else to go except to enter the palace. ”
The Empress Dowager sighed, "Your Majesty's current conditions do seem to be quite attractive, but this woman who entered the palace is pitiful, and I don't know if there is a day when she comes out, and how did she come out? ”
Looking at the Empress Dowager with a sad face, Zhen Wanyi reached out and held the Empress Dowager's hand on the kang table, which was soft and dry. She came to the capital alone without relatives, spent more than 20 years in the palace, experienced four generations of emperors, and no one in the palace knew the bitterness and warmth better than her.
"Mother, you are auspicious, you can get out of the palace safely after several major changes in the capital over the years, and you must be blessed. In the future, the prince and I will definitely be more filial to you, and Brother Heng, he will also honor his grandmother when he grows up, and your life will get better and better. ”
The Empress Dowager raised her eyes and saw Zhen Wanyi's sincere face, smiled and patted the back of Zhen Wanyi's hand on her hand, and said, "It is my greatest blessing to be able to get together with you and the prince, this is my happiness deepening a little bit every day in the Rongwang Mansion, and now the days are already very good." ”
Zhen Wanyi, who was affirmed, smiled crookedly.
The Empress Dowager swept away the depression in her heart, "It's not early, it's time for you to leave and go out." ”
Zhen Wanyi left the Mei Courtyard, left Brother Heng with the imperial concubine, and went to the Xu Mansion with the red sleeves and green willows.
Xufu is in the fifth room on the left hand side of Si'er Hutong in Yuqian Street in the east of the city, the location is much better than Zhenfu, you can see the royal street when you turn left on Yuqian Street, you can see the south Chengmen directly from the royal street, it is very convenient to go to the early court.
When Zhen Wanyi arrived at Xu's house, the carriage of Si'er Hutong was almost lined up on Yuqian Street, fortunately, Xu's house was fully prepared, and there was a small servant waiting at the mouth of Si'er Hutong, and when she saw the carriage of Rongwang's mansion, she hurriedly ran back, and after a while, a group of gorgeously dressed women poured out from the gate, and the carriage of Rongwang's mansion stopped in front of the door, and Mrs. Xu took the lead to meet her.
"The princess is coming, and the concubine is far away. ”
Zhen Wanyi got out of the carriage and helped Mrs. Xu, "You, who are the host, have lost the guests and welcomed them to the gate, and you are still called a loss of welcome? ”
Mrs. Xu said with a smile: "Princess, you are indescribably expensive to come here, and the ministers should welcome you to the door of King Rong's mansion." ”
"Mrs. Xu praised it falsely, she didn't dare to say it. ”
Mrs. Xu bowed slightly to welcome Zhen Wanyi into the house, Xu's house is a four-entry house, after the weeping flower door, along the hand-copying verandah, through the hall, and walked for a while before entering a three-wide hall, a stage was set up in the courtyard, and it was estimated that it was used for singing in the afternoon.
There were already many ladies in the hall, and Princess Yu sat alone in the top position and saw Zhen Wanyi coming
Hurriedly got up and took two steps, "What am I doing when Mrs. Xu was in a hurry, it turned out that you were here." Why did you come here at this time, I was so anxious that I almost sent someone to your house to invite you. ”
Zhen Wanyi pursed her lips and smiled: "I am often away from home these days, Brother Heng will not let go of my hand when he sees me, if it is not for the mother concubine to stop me, I am afraid that I will not be able to go out." ”
When Princess Yu heard this, she said: "I see, I will say that you believe in it, and since you promised to come, you will definitely come." ”
Zhen Wanyi looked at Mrs. Xu and nodded slightly, "Yes, if you can't come, you will definitely send someone to deliver the letter." It's just that I'm afraid that I won't stay long today, and if Brother Heng makes trouble, the princess is afraid that she won't be able to appease. ”
A look of disappointment flashed on Mrs. Xu's face, and then she smiled: "It's okay, it's a great honor for you to come here, next time you bring Xiao Shizi to play together." Our family is accustomed to eating Jiangnan dishes, and the chef at home is also brought from Jiangnan, so you can try Jiangnan cuisine today. ”
Zhen Wanyi nodded, "Okay." ”
Princess Yu pulled Zhen Wanyi to sit down in the top position, and the ladies who followed Mrs. Xu spread out to accompany the other guests.
Zhen Wanyi, Princess Yu, and Mrs. Xu sat together, and at this time, the Xu sisters came over and saluted Zhen Wanyi.
Zhen Wanyi looked at Xu Lizi, who was wearing a primrose-colored blue lotus pattern cloud brocade shortshirt and a moon-white embroidered skirt, combing her flying fairy bun and hairpins dotted with emerald hairpins, her demeanor was elegant, and the fragrance of books came to her face.
On the other side, Xu Xinyan wore a pink shirt with a persimmon pattern short shirt and a frost-colored makeup gauze skirt, combing a hanging hair and a small bun, wearing a pearl head flower, and a sweet smile.
Zhen Wanyi helped the two sisters in vain, turned her head to Mrs. Xu and smiled: "Every time I see the two young ladies in your house, I envy them once, they are really a pair of sisters like pearls and morning dew." Mrs. Xu is really a blessing. ”
Xu Fu looked at Xu Lizi with eyes, and his face was also full of smiles, "The princess praised it falsely, Sister Li'er is too dull, not as lively as Sister Yan'er, what will happen to me as a mother in the future." On the contrary, Sister Xin has a good temperament and can mingle with people anywhere, so there are fewer things that worry me. I can't do anything as a mother, I just want their sisters to be together all the time, and I hope that Sister Li can be more cheerful. Alas, but you've seen it, but you still can't change it. ”
Xu Xinyan hid her hands tightly in her cuffs, and secretly took a breath before saying, "It's all because my daughter is not good and she has lived up to her mother's expectations." ”
Mrs. Xu looked at Xu Xinyan with a smile, "How can my mother blame you? You are a good person, if you want to blame your sister, you don't understand half of the world, if it weren't for her temperament, I would have settled her family affairs a long time ago, and I wouldn't have delayed you." Before coming to Beijing, I sent a letter back to my parents' house to let my sister-in-law help me see each other. ”
Xu Lizi's face turned red, and she said softly, "Mother, my daughter went to the back garden to greet the guests." ”
Mrs. Xu smiled: "Go, go, just let Sister Xin stay with us." ”
