Chapter 62: The Fate of the Elders

The Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing is much cooler than in the palace, and when Mu Chenghuang gets up in the morning, he vaguely feels that the flowers and leaves in this courtyard are covered with a thin layer of frost, and the air is pleasant. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Mu Chenghuang didn't rush to let Wen Zhi and Baojuan come in to dress up, but just pulled up his hair, which was as long as a waterfall, with a plain silver hairpin, and put on a lotus-colored gown, his face was not powdered, but there was a natural white jade, his eyebrows were not black, and his lips were not red, Mu Chenghuang chose a chair close to the flowerbed, supported his chin with his elbows, and carefully looked at the flowers and bones in the flowerbed.

This Prince Su's Zhuangzi is very good, no wonder I heard that the weather is hot for a while, Prince Su almost all live in the Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing, compared to the prosperity of the capital, here is close to the mountain spring, and led the clear stream into the garden, it is close to the joy of the small building, it is really excellent.

The quail came over early, saying that his prince had prepared breakfast and invited a few princesses to Qingxi Garden for dinner.

Mu Chenghuang was busy dressing up, the lotus-colored coat was inconvenient, but he tied a four-finger-wide jade belt around his waist, since ancient times, the concubines loved to tie their waists, and they wanted to look like this waist was not full of hand, so Baojuan used some force when he tied the belt, Mu Chenghuang shouted "ah" at the bronze mirror, Baojuan was busy letting go, and asked: "Is it the slave who hurts the princess?"

"No," Mu Chenghuang touched his slender waist, tied the clothes at the waist tighter, let go of it a little, tied it tighter again, repeated it a few times, pouted slightly, "Don't you think that the waist is tightened, does it seem that this chest is bigger?"

Wen Zhiyuan was braiding Mu Chenghuang's hair, and when he heard it, he inserted the comb into the unbraided hair, which played a fixed role, turned around and looked at Mu Chenghuang, looked at it carefully for a long time, and said with a smile: "It's true, but this is inevitable, the princess is well developed, what's wrong with this, others can't envy it." ”

Mu Chenghuang glanced down at Wen Zhi's slightly bulging chest, although it was not as dangerous as a mountain, it was just full and full, and pouted: "I envy you like this, just right." He looked at Baojuan and said, "It's not like Baojuan's, I look at Pingchuan." ”

Baojuan listened and hurriedly said, "Princess, the slave maid is still a little. ”

"Yes," Mu Chenghuang smiled, "There are two points." ”

Baojuan's face turned red when she heard this, she turned around and stomped her feet fiercely and said, "The slave is no longer alive, and she is arranged like this by the princess." ”

Wen Zhi went over and pulled her: "Good Baojuan, our princess is worried." ”

Mu Chenghuang was looking at himself in the mirror repeatedly, although he was fourteen years old, it was the time of development, but it was also the time of shame, Mu Chenghuang would rather the two lumps of meat on his chest be a little smaller, a little smaller, but they were too competitive, they ate so much by themselves, and they didn't grow anywhere else, but they all grew on it.

"Is the mother's chest so big?" Mu Chenghuang asked very seriously and melancholy.

Wen Zhi thought for a while and said: "The slave maid has not served closely, so I don't know, but the fifth princess is definitely like the concubine Niangniang, who is a lot plump." ”

Since it is determined by heaven, Mu Chenghuang does not compare repeatedly, but just asks Baojuan to loosen the belt, Baojuan is a skillful hand, so he simply tied the extra belt hanging down with a beautiful bow, tied it at the back, and the ribbon hung down softly, which had a unique charm.

The weather is hot, you can't comb the double ring of falling buns, otherwise the hair will hang down and be sticky, too torturous, Wen Zhi carefully combed a half-flower bun, and braided a few twisted braids of the scattered hair, coiled up, hidden under the hair, it seems that the hair that is scattered is fluffy, and it will not be all stuck to the neck, which is uncomfortable.

In Qingxi Garden, Mu Qinyi, as the host, arrived early, Mu Chengyao and Mu Chengxin also sat upright in their seats, since yesterday's incident, Mu Chengyao knew that this imperial uncle was not easy to provoke, and he just said some homely greetings, and after a while, the eldest princess and Mu Chenghuang also arrived.

The eldest princess's dress has always been the most dignified and noble and not much to say, Mu Chengyao just glanced at Mu Chenghuang, only to see that the belt around her waist was a little loose, and when she turned around, she also tied a bow on her back thoughtfully, and only snorted coldly from her nasal cavity, which was really nondescript.

Mu Chengxin's eyes lit up and said: "Today's Fifth Emperor Sister's dress is not quite the same as usual. ”

The eldest princess smiled: "Yes, I also look good-looking, this weather is hot, and it is uncomfortable to tie the belt tightly, Cheng Huang is not out of shape when he dresses like this, but also cool and comfortable, and it is refreshing to look at, another day, I also want to try it." ”

Even the eldest princess said that she wanted to try it, and Mu Chengxin responded spontaneously: "Yes, it's really good-looking, I'll try it another day." ”

"Is it good-looking?" Mu Chenghuang just reprimanded Mu Chengxin in a low voice, and said in a tone that only the two of them could hear, "If you think it looks good, change your name and I will personally send ten or eight pieces of these clothes to you, all of which are worn by the famous singers in the willow alley among the flowers." ”

Mu Chengyao's implication was that Mu Chenghuang's dress was too windy, and Mu Chengxin didn't dare to say more.

When everyone arrived, Mu Qinyi just glanced at Mu Chenghuang's outfit lightly, didn't say anything, and ordered the quail to be served.

This Qingxi Garden is the most remote place in Zhuangzi, a little far away from Zhuangzi's kitchen, if you cook from Zhuangzi's big kitchen and send it over, it will be cold for most of it, so Mu Qinyi specially asked people to set up a small kitchen in a nearby courtyard.

This way of serving food is also clever, there will be a copper pipe in this Qingxi Garden, if you want to serve food or have any instructions, knock on the copper pipe at this end of Qingxi Garden, the bell hanging under the copper pipe in the small kitchen will ring, and someone will immediately answer over there, and any orders can be directly transmitted to the copper pipe, so as not to cause the people who serve to run around and disturb Mu Qinyi's tranquility.

Such a novel approach, Mu Chenghuang is the first time to see it, she took the pineapple crisp in her mouth, and watched intently as the quail knocked on the copper pipe, talking to the copper pipe, she looked a little distracted, and the eldest princess gently pushed her with her elbow, suggesting that she was a little out of shape.

Mu Chenghuang retracted his eyes, when he was just out of his mind, Mu Qinyi kept staring at him, and his face couldn't help but turn slightly cloudy again.

"What do you want to say?" Mu Qin Yi knew that she was full of curiosity and questions to ask, she was like this, she was like this in her past and present lives, she was fascinated when she saw fun things, not the kind of obsession that made her mind lost by playthings, but whenever there was something good, Mu Chenghuang would think about how to use it in raising flowers.

Now that he has seen through it, Mu Chenghuang has nothing to hide, he just smiled calmly and said: "It's okay, I just thought, this copper pipe is very good to spread words on weekdays, but if the other side speaks, it can be heard here, isn't it eavesdropping?"

Mu Chenghuang saw that Mu Qinyi's face did not change, and laughed a few times: "I'm just joking, just joking." ”

After dinner, the princesses' palace maids also began to pack up, and it seemed that there was still some unfinished business after staying in Zhuangzi here for a day, but this time I came out only to say that I was going to participate in a banquet, and staying overnight was also a sudden decision, so it was better to go back as soon as possible.

Out of courtesy, Mu Qinyi prepared a small box of lychees for each of the four princesses, and now that Lingnan is in turmoil, ordinary businessmen do not dare to rush into Lingnan to buy lychees, even if they are bold enough to safely transport them back to the capital, there are very few of them, and now lychees have become a rare thing, Mu Qinyi has a heart, and he sent some to Mu Yuanan and Empress Dowager Pei to the palace before, and now the four princesses came to be guests, and they also generously sent four boxes.

Mu Chenghuang and the eldest princess went back in the same carriage as usual, the carriage was stuffy, and the wind fanned out of the wind wheel was also hot, but Mu Chenghuang, the belt was loose, the eldest princess couldn't stand the heat, so she simply untied the belt, and said while unraveling: "In fact, when I went to find joy with the two royal sisters yesterday, I not only met Cui Rong, but also met a person. ”

Mu Chenghuang raised his head slightly, waiting for the eldest princess to say the following, the eldest princess said: "It's the eldest son of the Lin family, it's just that he was stopped outside and not allowed to enter, and he was angry outside for a while, and even the proprietress couldn't persuade him. After that, the eldest princess sighed again and said, "If it is an ordinary person, it is okay to be rejected like this, but he, Lin Guanlan, wants to tear his face and make trouble with others, for fear that people will not know what the eldest girl of the Shen family means, but it is like wanting to deliberately make things difficult for the eldest girl of the Shen family and ruin the reputation of this happy shop, and all he says in his mouth is that the big bully of the small shop is the joy of the small building." ”

"Who dares to bully him?" Mu Chenghuang felt uncomfortable every time he thought of this Lin Guanlan, Lin Guanlan's purpose was very vicious, Shen Ke entered Beijing this time to deal with the jewelry business between the Shen family and the palace, and the most important thing in the official business was reputation, and the craftsmanship could barely rank second, Lin Guanlan made such a fuss, isn't it just to defeat Shen Ke's reputation, this kid, is it the idea of driving Shen Ke out of the capital.

The eldest princess sighed and said, "This Shen family and the Lin family really have an inextricable fate." ”

"How?"

"Don't you know?" the eldest princess raised her eyebrows slightly, and said again, " Ah, you must not know, there was no you at that time, the master of the Lin family, that is, Lin Guanlan's father once admired the eldest daughter of the Shen family, that is, Shen Ke's aunt, has been in love for many years, with deep affection, touching the heavens and the earth, but unfortunately, Shen Ke's aunt has already had someone else in her heart, and later after her sweetheart died on the battlefield, Shen Ke's aunt entered the nunnery as a sister-in-law, Master Lin went to the nunnery several times to persuade her to change her mind, Shen Ke's aunt finally forced away Mr. Lin with three high-fives, that is, after the old man came back from the nunnery, he accepted the family's arrangement and married his current wife, that is, thirteen or fourteen years ago, Shen Ke's aunt died, Master Lin was still heartbroken, he didn't eat a drop of water for three days and three nights, and even Zaochao excused himself because he was unwell, and he didn't know if he felt better after so much time now. ”
