Chapter Seventy-Seven: Plum Blossom Appreciation

"Back to the words of the imperial concubine, the courtiers and sisters also learned the four books and women's affairs at home. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info" Zhuo Yirou looked up at Sun Guifei and replied respectfully.

Zhuo Yihan is not there, Zhuo Yirou is the eldest sister, although Zhuo Yiping usually speaks calmly and more convincingly at home, but in the palace, the women of the Zhuo family know the rules.

Zhuo Yiping stood quietly next to Zhuo Yirou.

Sun Guifei nodded, and said pointedly, "It's no difference." Okay, let's go down. ”

"Yes." The trio saluted, took a step back and returned to their seats.

Immediately afterwards, the foreign ministers from the first product to the fifth product came in with their own daughters one by one to say goodbye, and when they were all invited, it was already the end of the time.

Sun Guifei instructed the people in the imperial dining room to have lunch in the Zhaoyang Palace, and the living room of the Zhaoyang Palace was very large, and at this time, there were more than a dozen round tables of all sizes and sizes.

Everyone said a lot of auspicious words for the New Year, and sat down to eat under the signal of Sun Guifei.

It was the end of noon when we finished eating. Sun Guifei proposed that everyone go to the imperial garden to enjoy the snow plum that Jiang Jin paid tribute to earlier.

Out of the Zhaoyang Palace, Sun Guifei walked in front, the snow was blowing one after another, and the palace people behind were holding Huang Luo umbrellas. Followed by the daughters of the Sun family, the road to the Imperial Garden is not very spacious, and there are already many daughters in the family, so the Zhuo family can only follow behind the daughters of the Sun family.

The heavy snow covered the entire palace with a thin layer of white feathers, and Sun Guifei walked in front without speaking, and no one in the back made a sound. A large group of people walked by, but they were also quiet.

When I arrived at the Imperial Garden, Xuemei looked beautiful, and it was particularly conspicuous in the winter when thousands of flowers were withering. The branches are snow-capped and complement the red plum blossoms.

"This snow plum blossom is the most gorgeous in the past two days, you come to invite An Jiang to meet it. It's also a feast for the eyes. Sun Guifei sat at the blue and white porcelain table in the center of the pavilion in the imperial garden, looking at the plum blossoms in the courtyard, smiling.

The lady next to her responded with praise. The other ladies all sat on the benches in a circle by the pavilion, or moved a stool to sit aside, watching the plum blossoms, and occasionally picking up a sentence or two while listening, all of which were nothing more than expressing the good of the plum blossoms.

"Thanks to the blessing of the mother, I rewarded the good things of Jiang Jin thousands of miles away." Mrs. Sun and Concubine Sun sat at the blue and white porcelain table together, following Concubine Sun's gaze to the plum blossoms in the courtyard.

Zhuo Taijun also sat with Concubine Sun, and as soon as Mrs. Sun's words fell, she smiled and continued, "Mrs. Sun is talking about this reason, this flower is not only beautiful, but also fragrant." Sitting so far away, the smell can be transmitted in the slightest bit. ”

"'Plum and snow are three points white, but the snow loses plum and a piece of fragrance' is what it says." Sun Guifei listened to Zhuo Taijun's words, looked at the little red in the distance, and smiled lightly. Suddenly thought of something, turned his head to look at Zhuo Taijun, "What are these plum blossoms, this palace heard that the emperor gave Taijun a phoenix peony a year ago, and this palace also heard that it was paid tribute by the Western Qi Kingdom. It's definitely better than these plum blossoms, but it's a pity that the palace has no eyes. Taijun let's talk about it, which of these two flowers is better? ”

Sun Guifei's several successive 'heard' made Hua Taijun's heart sink when he heard it.

It cannot be said that the plum blossoms praised by Sun Guifei are not as good as peonies, let alone that the peonies given by the emperor are inferior to plum blossoms.

Hua Taijun listened to Sun Guifei's words quietly, his face was still smiling gently, and after Sun Guifei finished speaking, he slowly spoke, "The rewards in the palace are naturally good." Zhuo Taijun said that it was 'in the palace' instead of 'the emperor', and he lifted Sun Guifei in one sentence, saying that Zhuo Taijun paused, and continued, "Peony has the beauty of peony, and plum blossom has the fragrance of plum blossom." If my mother likes it, I'll send it to my mother when I go back. The peony is delicate and golden, as Niangniang said, this day is also glamorous, and it is so similar to Niangniang's beauty.

A few words not only praised the peony, but also praised Sun Guifei.

"Hua Taijun is really good at talking." Sun Guifei smiled, and she didn't know what kind of talking she could talk about. "But the palace doesn't dare to ask for it, this is the emperor's New Year's gift to the Sun family, can the palace still ask for it?"

After speaking, Sun Guifei smiled. Zhuo Taijun also smiled softly.

Chatting and chatting, the temperature of the charcoal basin placed in the pavilion dropped, and the maid on the side took out the charcoal basin at the front, walked outside the pavilion, and gently knocked off the silver ash covered with iron tongs, and added some more. When there was no longer a trace of smoke, he buckled the copper basin and brought it into the pavilion again.

Sun Guifei's gaze swept over the ladies in the pavilion, and finally stopped at He who was sitting behind Gao, "The second lady is far away, come over here, it's cold, don't be cold." Sun Guifei said and beckoned to the He family.

When He heard this, his face showed a trace of joy that could not be concealed, and he got up and saluted Sun Guifei, "Xie Niangniang loves you." After that, he walked to Sun Guifei's side, and the maid on the side carried a stool and placed it beside Sun Guifei, and He sat down.

Hua Taijun, who was sitting on the other side of the table, did not react to He's being loved by Sun Guifei, but just turned his head to talk to Mrs. Sun.

"Isn't Zhuo Dalang coming back for the New Year this year?" Mrs. Sun sat next to Hua Taijun and turned her head to look at Hua Taijun.

"It's the first day of the Lunar New Year, and I haven't received a letter yet. Probably no return. Hua Taijun put his hand on the top of the copper basin and flipped it over, his face still with the joy of enjoying the plum blossoms in the New Year, and there was no resentment with his eldest son for many years.

Just looked down at his hands for a moment, and his eyes showed undetectable longing and helplessness.

Mrs. Sun looked at Hua Taijun intently, half paid, and then sighed slightly, "It's really hard for you, I haven't been able to see Da Lang for so many years." ”

Zhuo Taijun looked at Mrs. Sun and smiled when she heard this, "What did Mrs. Tai say, Da Lang, they are guarding their homes and defending the country in the frontier, and they are loyal to the saints of the court, and they are embarrassed to say anything for the sake of the Nanshang country." My Zhuo family is a Nanshang general, so I naturally put my family and country first. ”

"It's rare that Hua Taijun can open like this. Okay, let's not talk about Dalang. Tell me about your eldest lady. Mrs. Sun said, "After the New Year, your eldest lady of the Zhuo family is about to enter the palace, and it is all good things to say about this eldest lady Zhuo in Nanshang, which sentence is not praise." Otherwise, outsiders say that the daughter of the Zhuo family is hard to find. ”

Hua Taijun heard Mrs. Sun say Zhuo Yihan, and the smile on her face became soft and real, "Mrs. Tai praised it, and Han'er would be happy if she heard it." ”

"I'm not exaggerating, I'm telling the truth. Nanshang is a bit famous, who doesn't know your Zhuo family's lady? Speaking of this eldest lady, by the way, who is that daughter who talked to the imperial concubine Niangniang in Zhaoyang Hall this morning? How do I look at the eyes so raw. Mrs. Sun changed her head as she spoke.
