In March of the tenth year of the Great Jin Dynasty, Jiangnan was already in spring. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
As one of the many states and counties in the south of the Yangtze River, the west of Jiangzhou, which is the most prosperous, is even more lively today. The mansion in the west of Jiangzhou City, which is endless, and I don't know how many depths inside, is the ancestral home of the Wang family, a famous family for thousands of years. Today, although the majestic and quaint gate of the Wang family is closed, the corner gates on both sides are wide open, and I see that the traffic in front of the corner gates on both sides is endless, and the end is very lively.
"Little Er, why is your Jiangzhou City so lively today?" On the second floor of the most famous restaurant in Jiangzhou, a guest asked casually.
"The guest officer listens to the accent of a northerner, don't you know, today is the day of the sixth lady of the Jiangzhou Wang family," the shopkeeper wiped the table neatly while serving the tea ceremony, "Today is not only our famous families in Jiangzhou have come here, but even the Xie family in Jinling, and even the Cui family and the Fan family in the north have people come to watch the ceremony." ā
"Isn't it? I heard that there were also people in the capital who came to watch the ceremony. If you want me to see, most of the dignitaries and nobles in this world are afraid that they are all in our Jiangzhou now! A local guest at a table next to him laughed.
"Oh, no wonder it's so lively. It has only been more than 800 years since the opening of our Great Jin Dynasty, but the four great families of this king, Xie Fan and Cui are all behemoths that have existed for more than a thousand years, and the depth of the heritage is really difficult for ordinary people like us to imagine. It is no wonder that just a gift from Miss Wang has alarmed most of the dignitaries in the world. ā
"The sixth lady of the Wang family is the only daughter of the Wang family's generation, and her identity is indeed very noble."
"That's natural, I heard that this Miss Wang Liu has been married to the Cui family since she was a child. This time, the Cui family came to congratulate, just the jade beads and hairpins sent, antique calligraphy and painting do not know how to geometry! ā
The restaurant was suddenly full of discussions. It's no wonder that ordinary people are always unusually enthusiastic about the gossip of the upper class.
The quiet lotus residence deep in the inner courtyard of the royal mansion is particularly quiet at this time. Jinghe Ju is built on the shore of Jinghe Lake in the inner house of the Wang family, at this time a pool full of lotus leaves has just come out of the water, it is Xiao He who shows sharp corners, looking quiet and beautiful, and the disturbances of the world seem to have never been able to float into this small courtyard---- even if today is the 15-year-old and the day of the owner of this small courtyard.
"Ah," the girl's scream suddenly swept through the sky above Jingheju and spread out into the depths of the Wang family's back house. "Come on, Miss Six has fallen into the water!" Before the trill, which was obviously frightened, fell, only a few pops were heard, and the maid who knew how to water had jumped into the water to save people.
Just after lunch, the owners of the Wang family's inner house had just returned to their respective courtyards, and they didn't have time to change their clothes and rest for a while, so they didn't want to hear the news that Miss Six had fallen into the water, and hurried to Jinghe Ju in a hurry.
Walking in the forefront is the real ruler of the Wang family's inner house, the first emperor's wife Xie Shi. Mrs. Xie, who was also from a top family, was gossiping with several nephews and daughters-in-law from her mother's family in her Ningde courtyard, and she heard the news from the next person, and she didn't even have time to change her clothes, so she rushed to Jinghe Ju.
A wisp of breeze blew, and the spring breeze that was supposed to be warm made the maids and women kneeling in the courtyard of Jinghe couldn't help but shiver, making people wonder if winter had not passed. Mrs. Xie took Mama Zhou's hand and crossed the courtyard gate, without looking at the kneeling servant woman on the ground, and went directly to Miss Six's boudoir.
The big girl Dew Drop who followed on the side opened the door curtain, and saw that there was a gray-haired old doctor who had just finished diagnosing the pulse, "How is my lightness?" Mrs. Xie didn't wait for the old doctor to get up and salute, so she hurriedly asked.
"Mrs. Tai, please rest assured, the sixth lady is auspicious, and there is no big problem." The old doctor enshrined by the Wang family bowed his hand and said, "The old man will prescribe a few recipes to calm the nerves and go to the cold, and the sixth lady only needs to eat for a few days and will be fine."
Mama Zhou personally accompanied the old doctor to the outside room to get the prescription, and Mrs. Xie sat at the head of the bed with the support of her two daughters-in-law, looking at the pale girl on the bed with a look of pity. "Gently, your ruthless father and mother left you early. What if you have another good one, but what can you call your grandmother!" Mrs. Xie was already old, but now she was frightened when she saw her granddaughter falling into the water, and her face was even more haggard. For a while, I thought of my deceased youngest son and daughter-in-law, and saw that the only blood left by my youngest son was pale and weak, and I couldn't help but cry in my cloudy eyes.
Seeing this, the eldest lady Fan and the second wife Sun on the side knew that the mother-in-law thought of the little uncle who died young, so Fan hurriedly persuaded, "Mother, don't cry sadly, otherwise you will wake up gently, and I am afraid that you will blame yourself even more." ā
"What the sister-in-law said is exactly that the mother must stop crying. Although this girl has no parents since she was a child, she must be blessed to have the love of your old man. You, but you have to watch carefully, our gentle blessing is behind. Sun twisted the hot towel to clean Mrs. Xie's face while softly persuading.
Mrs. Xie was noncommittal, but just pressed the corner of the quilt for her little granddaughter, and after a while, she finally contained her sadness, looked up at the two daughters-in-law, and instructed lightly: "Old family, there are many guests from outside today, and now that you are the wife of my Wang family, you don't have to stay here, hurry up and go out to socialize." The second child's family, how did you fall into the water, you go to the courtyard outside to ask clearly, and then talk back. ā
"Yes, Mother." After the two ladies were blessed, they withdrew from the boudoir with their own maids.
I don't know how long it took, but the girl lying on the bed frowned, as if she was in pain. When Mrs. Xie saw it, she immediately held the girl's hand, "Gently, don't be afraid." Grandmother is here. ā
"Grandmother!" The girl opened her eyes and smiled at the old lady, "The granddaughter is not filial, so you are worried." ā
"It's good to wake up, it's good to wake up. Gently, don't be afraid, the doctor at home said that you are fine, and you will not miss your wedding date in October. "Mrs. Xie, with a loving face.
"Grandmother, your granddaughter is fine, go back and rest quickly, you are tired of being old, your granddaughter is really unfilial", the girl forced her weak body and wanted to get up to send Mrs. Xie out.
"Lie down, you have a good rest, and grandmother will go back." Thinking that she was here, her sensible granddaughter was afraid that she would not be at ease to rest, so Mrs. Xie got up and walked out.
"It's a pity, send my grandmother for me." The girl hurriedly commanded, and after speaking, she realized that none of the people who served around her on weekdays were there. Only then did I remember that I was afraid that this time I fell into the water and would affect the minions in the yard. "Grandmother, this time I fell into the water, my granddaughter was careless and had nothing to do with others."
Mrs. Xie didn't believe it, the daughter of a famous family, accompanied by a group of maids and wives in and out, and there was absolutely no accident of herself accidentally falling into the water. Ran looked at the little granddaughter's calm and weak expression, thinking that after all, it was the person who had been with him who served the granddaughter's mind, and he made up his mind. "They're all outside, and they'll come in and serve you in a moment, so lie down."
"Yes, grandmother." Seeing her loving grandmother walk out of the boudoir, the girl closed her eyes.
