Chapter 22 Receiving the Order
A group of people had been waiting in Changsong Courtyard for a long time, and the eldest lady and the second lady were all following the official rank of their master, one wearing a three-grade lady's order suit, and the other wearing a five-grade pleasant order dress. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThe third grade is not much different from the fourth grade, but the fifth grade is far from the same. The biggest difference is that the lady's veil and special bun are decorated with peacocks, while the pleasant is only for mandarin ducks.
As soon as Qin Yuwan and Qin Yuyan entered the house, they were affected by the air pressure of the two ladies and separated.
After sitting and eating a cup of tea without saying a word, the old lady came out, but it was a dark-patterned carved silk crewneck that the uncommanded woman loved to wear on festivals, but the difference was that the old lady's crewneck was really red.
The two ladies who have always loved to criticize everywhere didn't say much, it was Qin Yuwan who was entitled, and the Qin Mansion didn't have much light, and it had nothing to do with them what the old lady was wearing.
The Qin Mansion opened the main gate, and the old lady led the female dependents to wait behind the shadow wall, and when the little girl waiting at the street came back to report, the group stood in front of the door.
The little yellow door opened the sedan curtain and helped Father-in-law Zhou out, and Father-in-law Zhou's sharp eyes immediately saw the old lady Qin who was wearing a round-necked shirt and was surrounded by the lady of the Qin Mansion in the middle, his eyes rolled half a circle, and said with a smile, "I haven't seen the old lady for a long time, and my body is getting tougher and tougher." ”
The old lady Qin wanted to make a half-salute, how dare Gonggong Zhou accept the old man's courtesy, and the clever little yellow door on the side immediately hugged the old lady.
The old lady smiled, "I haven't seen Father-in-law Zhou for many years, Father-in-law Zhou is busy, so I'll take you on this trip." ”
The two exchanged a few words, and Gonggong Zhou glanced at Qin Yudu, who lowered his eyebrows, and said, "Okay, it's not too early now, the third girl has received the order and will follow our family into the palace to thank you." ”
After saying that, the little yellow door chief shouted, "The Qin Mansion is the leader." ”
Everyone knelt and shouted three long live, Zhou Gonggong took the edict handed by Xiao Huangmen, and read, "Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, Xizhong County Wangfu is a branch of the royal family, several years of conscientious self-denial and self-control, but the heirs are difficult, I am very worried, especially in the thirteenth year of Qitai edict, the heirs of the Xizhong County Wangfu, regardless of the birth of the heirs, the male according to the system of sealing, the female according to the seal, the lowest volume for the township." The third daughter of the Qin family, knowledgeable, intelligent and agile, still canonized the township monarch, enjoys six salaries, and is given the name 'Shaoyuan', which is admired! ”
After thanking Long En, everyone got up, and Qin Yudui took the order and handed it over to the old lady. In this gap, the eldest lady handed Xiao Huangmen two red envelopes. Xiao Huangmen tugged into the placket of his clothes, and congratulated him with joy, "Congratulations to Shaoyuan Xiangjun, congratulations to the ladies of the Qin Mansion." ”
Zhou Gonggong was about to leave after announcing the decree, and he didn't eat a cup of hot tea, and the old lady couldn't keep it, so he wanted to send him to the official sedan chair, he stopped him with a sneer, "Our family is a hard worker, and we are used to running back and forth, so you are old and hurry back to the house to rest." At that time, the house will have a banquet and send an invitation. ”
It's just a polite remark, how can the father-in-law of the chief steward have time to go to the palace to watch the play.
The old lady responded, turned around and pulled Qin Yudui uneasily, "It's just to kowtow and say a few auspicious words, and I don't have anything to worry about." The palace is big, and you have to delay lunch when you go in at this time, so I asked Shudan to carry some pastries and eat a little on the way into the palace. Thank you and come out immediately, don't delay, remember not to go alone, don't walk around with people, don't meddle, and don't eat inside......"
The old lady had a posture of talking more and more, and the second lady came over to stop it, "You also said that there is no big matter, and let the third girl go, Father-in-law Zhou is waiting." ”
Qin Yudui comforted the old lady, and got on the crimson tin-topped official sedan chair behind Zhou's father-in-law, and the Qin Mansion and the people looked at the two official sedan chairs and walked away before returning home.
The palace man carrying the sedan chair walked fast, and Shudan followed with difficulty, "Girl, can you eat some cake mats?" ”
Qin Yudui usually goes out in a carriage, and he is torn up and down in the sedan chair, holding on to the sedan chair wall and saying with gold stars in his eyes, "Come out and eat again...... If you eat too much, you have to drink water......"
Seeing the palace gate, Shudan hurriedly wrapped a piece of cake in silk and handed it to the window, "If the girl doesn't eat, take it first, it's okay to eat a little if you're hungry." Later, Ma Po will come by car, and we will wait for the girl at the palace gate. ”
Qin Yudu's stomach was simply overturned, he covered his mouth to endure the discomfort, and took the silk indiscriminately. Feeling that after a period of shadow, the sedan chair stopped, and a piece of sunlight fell at his feet outside the sedan curtain.
Xiao Huangmen came over and opened the sedan curtain for Qin Yudu, "Xiangjun, I'm going to walk here." ”
Qin Yudui got out of the sedan chair and thanked him, and couldn't help but look around.
According to the distance of the foot, it should be from the Donghua Gate to enter, into the eye is the endless palace, a few steps ahead is a zigzag river and a white jade arch bridge, near noon the sun soaked in the river, the sparkling water dazzling people's eyes.
Gonggong Zhou waited for a while and said, "Xiangjun, it won't take more than half an hour for the imperial dining room to deliver food." ”
Then you can only wait outside, the emperor has eaten tea and dinner, and he will have to summon you with some snacks when he rises.
Qin Yu lowered his eyes, "It's rude, please ask your father-in-law to lead the way." ”
Qin Yudui came unfortunately, and there were ministers in the imperial study.
Gonggong Zhou changed into his regular clothes and stood under the eaves with Qin Yudui and waited, and asked with concern, "It's hot at this time, the townsman wants to use some water?" ”
The old lady said not to eat the things in the palace, and Qin Yudui firmly remembered, "Thank you for your father-in-law's kindness, I am not thirsty." ”
She was so restrained and Gonggong Zhou didn't force it, the two stood for two quarters of an hour, heard footsteps in the hall, and then the door opened, and two people walked out.
Qin Yudui couldn't look at it, and only saw that the two of them were wearing red court clothes. When the two saw Gonggong Zhou, they paused slightly, and then they saw that the hem of the clothes walking in front of them was tattooed with a Yunjin Qilin, and the other was a Yunjin Martial Leopard.
Gonggong Zhou bowed and smiled, "Duke Yasukuni walks slowly, Master Shangshu walks slowly." ”
The one at the back replied, "I'm tired of my father-in-law." ”
After the emperor sat on the table, rubbing his temples with one hand and drinking tea with the other, Gonggong Zhou walked in lightly and said, "Your Majesty, Shaoyuan Xiangjun is here." ”
"Huh?" The emperor was in a bad mood, and said in an irritable tone, "I promised the queen that I would accompany the queen mother for lunch today, didn't I ask someone to go to you and say, set up Renshou Palace, and let you lead people there?" ”
Father-in-law Zhou was stunned for a moment and didn't answer, and suddenly he glanced at Liang Zhen, the deputy chief manager, who was standing by the table, and his hands immediately turned white.
The emperor was impatient, "Forget it, bring it in first." ”
Gonggong Zhou reacted quickly, pretended to be hesitant in an instant, and replied in a soft voice with bated breath, "The slave should die, but when I went to the Qin Mansion to announce the decree today, I saw Old Madam Qin wearing a round-necked shirt." I'm afraid that I will listen to you, and you have doubts in your heart, since Shaoyuan Xiangjun wants to enter the palace, the slave thinks that it is safest to bring her over to talk back first. ”
Crewneck shirt? He refused to wear his commanding clothes?
That is to borrow the hand of the old lady of the Qin family to tell everyone that he is always unwilling to return to the vulgar......
The emperor sighed again and again, waved his hand and said, "Don't ask, you take her to Renshou Palace first, the queen mother wants to see her, I will go later." ”
