Chapter 108: Mrs. Zhao
Mulan also felt that this matter was unreasonable. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
If the Great Jin and Wei are two countries of equal national strength and peaceful coexistence, Yan Jingluo and Du Shunwen, a county lord of the Great Jin Dynasty and a prince of the Wei State, can be regarded as a marriage that is a good match.
But the Jin and Wei countries are neither equal nor peaceful, and Du Shunwen is the proton sent by the Wei State to the Great Jin.
She was a newcomer and did not know much about the situation in the countries of the Central Plains. But these days, I have heard a lot of things, and if you think about it carefully, you can feel that Wei is not really seeking peace.
More than ten years have passed since the last battle between the two countries, and in the past ten years, the Great Jin Dynasty has not stopped, not only abolished the crown prince, but also created unjust prisons and killed Zhongliang. The emperor is mediocre, the eunuchs are tyrannical, and the people do not live in dire straits for a day.
Now that the new dynasty has just been established, although the new emperor is a virtuous and motivated person, he also has the heart to rectify the dynasty and save the people, but the first emperor has left him too many messes, and there is no one who is afraid that he will not be able to slow down this breath.
As for the Wei State, there has been no foreign army in recent years, and there has not been much change in the DPRK and China, so it can be said that it has been recuperating.
Maybe more than ten years ago, the Great Jin Dynasty was still stronger than Wei in all aspects, but so far, it is really difficult to say who is stronger and who is weak in the two countries. The Xie Army, which had always frightened the Wei army, was also gone, and instead of taking the opportunity to raise troops to attack, the Wei State had been showing weakness. Died a proton, and sent another proton, so enduring, either there is no inside story, or the plan is very big.
Proton, to put it bluntly, is an outcast. If the two countries fight in the future, the first one of the Great Jin Dynasty will not be able to spare Du Shunwen. Even if you can't fight, a dignified prince is thrown in a foreign country, and Prince Guo and his ilk are bullied as playthings, this person should be abolished.
Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if Du Shunwen is not abolished, he will be able to return to Wei in the future, can Princess Cheng Xuan be willing to let her daughter of Jinzun Yubao marry in a foreign country like her relatives?
Yan Jingluo is different from ordinary people's daughters, even if she can't understand the key points here, her broad-minded and knowledgeable mother **** brought her to teach by her side, and she should also mention one or two points intentionally or unintentionally, right?
Looking at Bingxue, a smart girl, how could she fall in love with Du Shunwen in a daze?
In the end, it is none of my business, I pressed it once I thought about it, and persuaded Zhao Chonghua, "Don't say these words in the future, it's better to rot in your stomach." ā
"I've saved it. Zhao Chonghua glanced at her, "Isn't there no one else in front of you?"
"No one else can say that the wall has ears. Mulan reminded her.
Zhao Chonghua glanced back and forth, stuck out his tongue and said, "It's true, isn't that one defenseless, so let's hear it?"
Mulan smiled and said nothing, and she was also curious in her heart, how could the county lord of Xianghe be so careless? Even in her own homeland, even if the place is secluded and few people, she should be cautious.
After thinking about it, Yan Jingluo left the flower club under the pretext of changing her clothes and went to inquire about Du Shunwen, so she would not bring too many people with her. It's the beginning of love, care is chaotic, and there is a moment of negligence.
No matter how mature and stable a little girl is only fourteen years old, how can she be so thoughtful?
Fortunately, today she and Zhao Chonghua heard it, if you can't tell which one of them is heavy and mouthy, I don't know how big a storm it will set off.
The two of them sat and talked for a while, estimating that Yan Jingluo had already walked far away, and she no longer suspected them, so she led the girl out of the vine tree pavilion.
After watching for half a day in a few places where the flowers are blooming, it is almost time for the feast. I inquired about the people in the princess's mansion, and said that the lord of Xianghe led the girls to the water pavilion first, so they came to the water pavilion hand in hand.
The table had already been set up in the water pavilion, and since they were all women's dependents, they did not set up the banquet separately, but only took the screen of fine yarn to separate them, and the ladies sat on one side, and the little girls sat on the other side.
The eldest princess of Cheng Xuan had the idea of finding her mother-in-law's family for her daughter, so why didn't these people come to the flower party? Those who do not have a fixed score in their hearts and want to cast a wide net have to take advantage of the banquet to look at the girls of each family and bring up some topics about the family affairs of their children.
The little girl's family is thin-skinned, and some things are not easy to say to her face. Separated is for the sake of the ladies of the family.
The wives and girls of each family rushed to the water pavilion with a pinching hour, and Mulan and Zhao Chonghua were not too late, but they were not too early. When I entered the water pavilion, I saw a room full of red and willow green, jewelry, and the fragrance of all kinds of high-grade rouge gouache mixed together, and even the fragrance of flowers was hidden.
Mrs. An, Mrs. Chang and Mrs. Zhao were all sitting at the table of Princess Cheng Xuan, and the four of them were talking about something with a smile. The ladies at the same table listened attentively, occasionally interjecting a sentence or two, which provoked bursts of laughter.
Zhao Chonghua hurriedly introduced Mulan to Mrs. Zhao, pulled her straight to the table of Princess Chengxuan, and gave a salute to the people at the table, so he hurriedly offered the treasure, "Mother, look, this is my daughter's new friend." ā
Although Mrs. Zhao had never seen Mulan, she could guess by looking at her clothes, she only pretended not to know, and exclaimed in her mouth, "I was born with a real sign, but I haven't seen it before, I don't know which family has hidden a fairy-like daughter who has been refusing to take it out?"
Mrs. Chang was familiar with Mrs. Zhao, and she was happy to cooperate, so she picked up the conversation with a smile, "Which one is it, can you ask Mrs. An if you know?"
"Oops. Mrs. Zhao pretended to be surprised and looked at Mrs. An, "Could it be that this is the descendant of the Guogong Mansion?"
Mrs. An smiled slightly, and didn't say those humble words, "Yes." ā
Mulan knew the opportunity, and was busy with the blessing, "Mulan has seen Mrs. Zhao." ā
"Ouch, get up. Mrs. Zhao got up and supported her, and pulled her to her to take a closer look. I saw that her eyebrows were open and her eyes were clear. Standing there straight, looking at herself with a smile on the corner of her mouth, she was not shy at all, she liked it a little in her heart, and she became more and more kind.
I asked her how old she was and what she liked to do on weekdays.
Mulan replied generously, and Mrs. Zhao heard her say that she was learning the rules from the grandmother in the palace, so she turned to Mrs. An and said, "My daughter is an active person, and she can't sit still for a moment." I've always wanted to give her a nurturing grandmother and pull her wild monkey temperament, but unfortunately I haven't been able to find a suitable ......."
Mrs. An heard the meaning of her words, and without waiting for her to break the words, she smiled and said, "If Mrs. Zhao doesn't think the house is shabby, let Ling Ai go over and learn the rules with Mulan."
You know, there's not much in our house, and I'm a person who doesn't like to be boisterous. Mulan is lonely and lonely, so that Ai can be a companion with her. ā
"That's a good feeling. Mrs. Zhao said happily, "I saw that Mulan was dignified and generous, and I liked it very much." As the saying goes, it's better to teach by example than to teach, there is such a living example there, I'm not afraid that this wild girl in my family can't learn the rules.
Thank you Taijun, then we will bother. When I go back, I will pack up for her, and I will send her to your house in two days. ā
