Chapter 51: Drinking

Yingluo held it into a delicate and small glass bottle, which contained the apricot wine made by spring home. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info She put the golden fruit wine in a small crystal lotus pot and presented it to Murong Wei and Xia Lanxin respectively.

The golden and clear fruit wine, the faint apricot fragrance and the sweetness of the wine, provoked Xia Lanxin's taste buds, she first took a light in front of her to taste, praised the word "good", and casually removed a red treasure ring on her finger and gave it to Yingluo.

The fruit wine was brewed by Yingluo according to Murong Wei's instructions, and after it was made, it was buried under the osmanthus tree, and only after the frost was taken out of a jar to taste. Murong Wei tasted it once and liked it very much, Yingluo brought it to the table again today, and she got Xia Lanxin's eyes.

Yingluo smiled, bent her knees to thank her, and then filled Xia Lanxin's wine glass before retiring.

The two of them did not want to be served, so they sat opposite each other on the couch, poured themselves a drink, and talked about the day's peace.

With the instruction of Queen Chu, Xia Lanxin's ceremony was naturally lively. Zhang Luo, the wife of the prince of the Hu family, is not a fool to watch.

It is not an exaggeration to say that there are many guests and a city. Such a grand event of a wealthy family full of flowers and cooking oil slightly diluted the news of King An's death.

In the heavy snow and pale solemnity, the conversation of the people in the capital has shifted from the prince of An to the daughter of the Xia Mansion, and then to the Paiyun Pavilion to be built, and there are always tireless topics.

There was no layer of exploitation, and the military department, together with the household department, received the bereavement pension in their hands one after another. The common people are concerned about money, food, and taxes, and when they get grace, they naturally appreciate the kindness of the emperor.

At the end of the year, the capital is no longer just a panic of the death of the dragon and tiger general, but everywhere reflects the stability and prosperity that the monarch is happy to see.

Knowing that the original intention of Empress Chu to give the hairpin was to stabilize the situation in the DPRK and China by promoting herself, Xia Lanxin didn't understand the hardships of the superiors.

After the ceremony, she accompanied her sister-in-law Hu Shi back to her parents' home to save relatives, and accompanied her mother to visit several princes and wives.

Xia Lanxin is always so empathetic, to the point of being a little compromised.

The two get along, not so much as sisters who have a good relationship, but Xia Lanxin who has always stood in front of Murong Wei, which is a barrier for her to shelter from rain, dew, wind and frost.

Murong Wei was grateful, and pulled her sleeves to add wine to herself and Xia Lanxin, and the two touched each other gently, and the corners of Murong Wei's lips curved, and she smiled clearly and gratefully.

The two of them are Bing Xue smart, they smiled slightly, and how much tacit understanding is in their words.

The warm sun at noon, lazy and gentle, accompanied by the murmuring of the water in the lotus leaf porcelain basin, the fragrance of plum is leisurely and quietly wrapped around the body, like spring.

Under the warm sun like broken gold, Murong Wei's wrists were as white as jade, her eyebrows were beautiful and picturesque, with the softness of apricot blossoms, and she was tasting the fruit soup shallowly, Xia Lanxin was a little fascinated for a while.

I have always known that Murong Wei is beautiful, her beauty is bright and flamboyant, without any disguise, like clusters of pomegranate flowers in May, red and burning eyes.

As if it had only been a few days, this beautiful and arrogant girl had changed into a person, and all her emotions had been restrained, her eyes were as deep as a pool, clear but without waves, and she exchanged such a warm and fiery temperament for the soothing moonlight in the night.

Holding her hands lightly, but she wanted to stir up the unpredictable situation, Xia Lanxin felt for the first time that she couldn't guess Murong Wei's thoughts. Unwilling to be suppressed like this, and unwilling to bother with suspicion, she pulled the topic to Xia Yuzhi.

Xia Lanxin looked mysterious, beckoned to Murong Wei, and said with a coquettish smile: "Come here with your ears and tell you something again." ”

The pink pearl earrings were shiny and soft, half-hidden by Xia Lanxin's low-pulled black hair, her breath shallow on Murong Wei's cheeks, and she covered her mouth and laughed softly: "The third brother has started to discuss marriage, don't you say that I told you." ”

Xia Lanxin once listened to the third brother playing the flute under the moon, and the song was melodious and melodious, but there was a sadness that she couldn't ask for.

The helplessness of the idiot, the sadness buried deep under the moon, and the end that has never even begun, no one can tell the third brother.

Xia Lanxin naturally didn't want the third brother to wait meaninglessly, and she just took this opportunity to tell Murong Wei the news.

can be the most sincere friend, can be a pair of brothers and sisters with different surnames, but there is a gap that cannot be crossed for life.

The Xia family is already a master of high merit, which is fearful, and the three cats and six eyes of many officials are round, and they can't find the wrong place, and they can't hit the head of the gun by themselves.

If the third brother intends to rob the sweetheart of the prince of King An's mansion, it is equivalent to selling someone else a weakness in vain, and sooner or later it will bring unrest to the Xia family.

My grandfather often taught his brothers that the way to get along with the monarch was to embrace simplicity and be clumsy, and not to be spoiled. The moon is full and the water is overflowing, Xia Lanxin abides by her grandfather's teachings, and no matter how good her personal relationship is with Murong Wei, the gifts of the monarch and the ministers are clearly understood.

His words and deeds, his smile and smile are all in accordance with the rules, and they imply deep meanings.

Murong Wei didn't pay attention to why Xia Yuzhi didn't talk about marriage for a long time in her previous life, she lived a new life, her mind was delicate, and she occasionally hovered this question in her mind, and when she heard Xia Lanxin say this, she urged her not to sell it, and to pick up the important ones.

Xia Yuzhi is eighteen years old, and he should have discussed his relatives a long time ago, but he has not chosen a family for a long time, Xia Lanxin explained, this is also what the Marquis of Kangping meant.

His eldest brother and son, Xia Huazhi, got married at the age of fifteen, married the eldest daughter of the Hu family at the age of seventeen, and now has both children and daughters.

The Hu family is a family that has been handed down from generation to generation, and the people are prosperous. Hu's father was appointed to the Ministry of Workers, and he was already an official in Shangshu, and some of his brothers were officials in the court, and some were released and scattered all over the country.

Hu's parents are complete, the elder brother of the in-law is the admiral of the water division in GD, and the sister-in-law is the daughter of Lord Langshi, the right attendant of the household department, and she is also a noble, and the two families are right.

Xia Yuzhi's second brother is far away in GX, not marrying a noble girl in the capital, but marrying the daughter of the local Tusi.

When Xia Yuzhi was fifteen years old, Mrs. Hou Shen wanted to marry him, but Xia Yuzhi herself was resolutely opposed, and Hou Ye did not approve of it.

Xia Yuzhi said that the eldest husband first started a business and then started a family, but refused on the grounds that he had no merit.

The meaning of the Marquis of Kangping is similar to that of his son, who has no title or official position, so it is difficult to marry a real noble lady of the Houmen by relying on the big tree of the Xia family.

Anyway, my son is motivated, so I don't have to wait for two more years, and when he has stabilized his steps in the DPRK, it is more appropriate to come back to discuss his relatives.

The Shen family has always respected the meaning of the Hou Ye, not to mention that these words are for the sake of their son, and every sentence is reasonable, Xia Yuzhi's family affairs have been suppressed until this year.

Xia Yuzhi was originally the imperial guard of the five products, and in the spring, he was promoted to the deputy envoy of Jin Wuwei, and he was getting older, so the Marquis of Kangping instructed his wife Shen to discuss his son's marriage, and repeatedly told her to listen to the meaning of the old lady.
