The sky is high and the clouds are light, and the geese flying in the south are broken. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
It was almost noon, the golden autumn sun was shining, shining on the smooth black jade stepping stones under the feet, and the four seasons in Zhilan Palace were like spring.
Mrs. Xiangyuanbo's snow-white middle coat was tightly fastened with a stand-up collar, and a rose-purple velvet placket was added to the outside of the pipa button, such a soft fabric still couldn't stop the chill from the bottom of her heart, and she couldn't help but shiver.
In the past, there was the mercenary face of the old uncle, and Zhou Ruosu's words were really reasonable.
Uncle Xiangyuan's position has lasted for only three generations, and it has always been Mrs. Uncle's biggest helplessness.
If Wen Wan has a way to extend the title of Xiangyuan Earl Mansion for another generation, and fulfills the old lady's dream of looking at Sun Jackie Chan, then she will probably be forced to abdicate and make way for Xian, who has been sitting in the seat of Mrs. Uncles for decades.
The last time was because Wen Wan won the appreciation of the queen's mother in the palace, and Mrs. Anguo had words to release that she wanted to accept Wen Wan as a righteous daughter, and Mrs. Uncle couldn't wait to touch Mrs. Anguo's relative, and immediately forced her son to help Zhou Ruosu from a concubine to a flat wife, which led to the joke of the coexistence of two hostesses in Xiangyuanbo's mansion.
Zhou Ruosu was light and light, but Mrs. Xiangyuan was under tremendous pressure. Even when she participated in a flower viewing party, some people poked her backbone and pointed at her, and such days had already weighed her down.
Now that Wen Wan, the dead girl, has become the county lord, if she shows her mouth in front of Mrs. Anguo, and then raises Mrs. Anguo's reputation, for the sake of the future of the uncle's mansion, what else can't Mrs. Uncle do?
Mrs. Xiangyuan's face was like ashes, and she felt that her daughter's chatter was more annoying than the chirping cicadas on the summer branches, and she couldn't help but turn around and scold her.
Wen Wu was angry for her mother, and she was scolded by her mother for no reason, for fear of being looked down upon by the people next to her, so she could only bow her head aggrievedly, but Zhou Ruosu elegantly caged the long hair draped behind her shoulders, and straightened her emerald sleeves with lake-green dryness, smoothing out the wrinkles on her head, and didn't care about the nonsense of this unscrupulous mother and daughter.
After staying up until the end of the ceremony, Queen Chu led the two concubines Xian and Shu to Shoukang Palace to salute. Sisters Murong Wei, Xia Lanxin, Wen Wan, Luo Pujia, and the Chen sisters all followed.
The wives stood on both sides, saluted the queen mother, and waited until Feng drove far away from the corridor, and then the group got up and retired, each ready to leave the palace.
Mrs. Xiangyuan Bo was caught in the crowd of threes and twos, although she was listless, she could only cheer up and go out. There were also a few acquaintances who came over to say hello, but more of them congratulated Zhou Ruosu for giving birth to such a good daughter as Wen Wan.
Whether she was reduced to a concubine or raised to be a flat wife, Zhou Ruosu had already stopped talking. She saw the world with a pair of wonderful eyes, and she saw all the peach and willow green Sanchun, but they were all clouds.
has never dealt much with these gentlemen who have been courteous and respectful, and in the face of everyone's overtures, Zhou Ruosu smiled lightly, gentle and reserved.
She followed behind Mrs. Xiangyuan and walked out quietly, and her light and breezy attitude was particularly eye-catching.
Wen Wu was slapped in the face by Murong Wei repeatedly, and now she has limited time to go out. Today, I take this opportunity to say hello to the little sisters who have known each other in the past, which can be regarded as saving my reputation.
She slowed down her pace and looked around, looking at the figures of Miss Shen, Sister Hua of the Wei family and others looming in the crowd, but she didn't see Qian Gui who was like the stars holding the moon, and she was very surprised in her heart.
Seeing that the young lady of the Shen family of Dali Temple was following Mrs. Shen, only a few steps away from her, Wen Yu took a few steps sideways and came to Miss Shen's side. Gently tugged at her sleeve and said a blessing: "Say hello to Miss Shen, Miss Qian can't be found all over, can Miss Shen know if she is still in the palace?"
Miss Shen was very disgusted with Wen Wu's shabby face, and in the way of the public, it was not easy to embarrass her, so she only withdrew her sleeves silently, and said lightly: "Sister Gui went out to Beijing to visit relatives, and she was not at home." You are so friendly with her, haven't you ever said that you will listen?"
Wen Wu was detained by her mother in the mansion, how could she ever know a little bit of movement outside? Her face was blue and red, and she looked at the surrounding gloating eyes wandering around her, how could she admit that she didn't know, so she only promised: "Thinking that Miss Qian has been gone for these days, she should also come back, so I came to ask Miss Shen." There was a lot of disturbance just now, and Wen Wan retreated. ā
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional, Miss Shen chewed Wen Wen's words, and the light smile on her face suddenly tightened, as if she was suddenly frozen by frost and snow.
In the past, Qian Gui went away to Kangnan, in order to go brightly, he was not sneaky, but quietly changed his path after leaving the imperial city. She also pretended to hand over posts to several little sisters' houses, saying that she had gone out of Beijing to visit relatives, and she could return in about one to two decades, and asked everyone to reunite when they returned.
Wen didn't know Qian Gui's itinerary, but Miss Shen remembered it clearly. After a rough calculation, Qian Gui's days out of Beijing were not short, and he had already passed the appointment of twenty decades.
What kind of relatives are worthy of her staggering the crown prince's canonization ceremony, and she doesn't even come to congratulate the two virtuous concubines on their promotion?
Miss Shen's beautiful eyes swept through the crowd, but people came and went to see it unreal. She turned around and beckoned to the personal girl behind her, whispered a few words in her ear, and told her to go and come back quickly. Then he whispered, "Look closer, I'll wait for you in the car." ā
The girl responded frequently, turned around dexterously, relied on her petite size, skillfully turned left and right in the crowd, and disappeared in Miss Shen's eyes in a short time.
Miss Shen got into the carriage, but she didn't tell her to leave, but asked the girl to pass the word, asking her mother and a few sisters-in-law in the car to wait a little, she had something important to do.
However, with a pillar of incense, the girl came to Miss Shen's car with small steps, picked a stool and boarded the carriage, covered the curtain first, and then whispered to Miss Shen: "As Miss expected, the slave only found Mrs. Qian." looked around her again and again, but there was no one else, made a few taels of silver, and asked the girl who was familiar with the Qian Mansion, and said that the two young ladies had never attended. ā
Several young grandmothers of the Qian Mansion and the young lady were absent from today's ceremony, which was a strange thing that had never been heard of since the first emperor and the Chongming emperor, Miss Shen bit her lower lip tightly and pondered for a moment.
The goose-yellow curtain blocked the fiery sun, and the little girl only saw a hint of caution on the young lady's soft face.
"Father must be at the lunchtime feast ahead, so make sure that you have someone deliver a message to his little servant, and be sure to tell him every word of what you have just said. Also, our carriage can't stay here for a long time, so I ordered someone to stop by the Jinshui Bridge and wait for you. ā
