Chapter 84: Is the capital fun?
Early the next morning, Yu Nianniang tidied up, and after asking Kang's for peace, she took Mother Sun and Linglong to Weifu. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Yesterday, Mrs. Wei suddenly sent someone to send a basket of five-spiced rice dumplings.
Yu Nianniang wanted to thank the gift in person.
When they arrived at the Wei Mansion, the subordinates of the Wei Mansion led them directly to the courtyard of the old lady Wei.
The weather in May is as warm as the ocean, the yard is full of life, and the people below are changing into light clothes. The curtains of the door of the house were rolled up high, allowing the wind to blow into the house and drive away the turbidity in the house.
Mrs. Wei wore a purple dress, sat on the couch, and was very happy to see Yu Nianniang.
"But I haven't seen you for a few days, how do you look like you've grown taller again, come sit next to me, let me take a good look!" As she spoke, she beckoned to her, like her own grandmother.
Yu Nianniang calmly walked to Mrs. Wei's side and sat down on the edge of the couch.
Mrs. Wei took Yu Nianniang's hand, looked at her affectionately, and said to Mother Wei next to her: "Not only has I grown taller, but I am also beautiful." ”
Seeing Yu Nianniang's elegant clothes and wide sleeve robe, she couldn't help but wonder: "Your clothes look novel and beautiful, and there doesn't seem to be anyone in Taiyuan Mansion who would make such clothes, is it made in a shop in Yizhou?" ”
Yu Nianniang shook her head: "Mother Sun did it." ”
"No wonder!" Mrs. Wei suddenly said: "No wonder Taiyuan Mansion doesn't have it." ”
Mother Wei instructed the girl to bring some fresh melons and fruits.
Old Mrs. Wei looked at her with a smile: "Taste, this is just sent by Zhuangzi." ”
Yu Nianniang took a bamboo skewer and forked a small piece of cut apple and put it in her mouth, it was sweet and crisp, she nodded: "It tastes very good." ”
"If you like it, if you like. When I go back in a while, I take a basket back. Mrs. Wei said with a smile, and instructed Mother Wei: "Go and bring the shadow yarn in the warehouse." ”
Xiaying yarn, also known as soft smoke, is a silver-red, light and soft yarn, used to make summer clothes light and elegant, very beautiful.
"Xia Ying Yarn is a tribute sent by Fujian, because the production is very complicated, so there are only about ten horses each time. Generally, only the nobles in the palace or the royal family have it. In addition to rewarding the queen, the emperor will also give rewards to the nobles. My horse was still rewarded by the concubine at that time. I gave a body of material to the three girls and the six girls before. There's half a horse left, so I'll give it all to you. The material is light and elegant, and the color is beautiful, and if it is made into a dress like yours, it will look very good in the summer. ”
Yu Nianniang was quite surprised.
Mother Wei didn't expect that Mrs. Wei would give all the shadow yarn to Yu Nianniang, but she was distressed and reluctant and didn't dare to say anything, so she carefully packed it and handed it to Mother Sun in the back.
Yu Nianniang bowed upright and thanked Mrs. Wei.
"It's just a piece of clothing, it's a waste to put my wife here, it's better to give it to you young people, and let us see it fresh!" Mrs. Wei said with a smile, saying very sincerely, and her attitude was the same as that of Wei Qijiao's sisters.
"Although the shadow yarn is not the best and rare material, it is not easy to pay tribute because of the complexity of the workmanship, so there are very few tributes each time. Your Uncle Wei has always followed the general and made a lot of meritorious contributions before he was valued by the emperor. ”
Saying that, he sighed, and seemed to say to himself: "The house rewarded by the emperor is good, but my old bones don't want to bump anymore." ”
"Old lady!" Wei's mother on the side was busy and said: "You are tough, the eldest master can say, this time you must follow the second master to Beijing, and you will live in the capital in the future and not come back, just leave a few people here in Taiyuan Mansion to take care of it." The children of the eldest young master and the second young master still have to be watched by you! ”
Old Madam Wei's expression softened, and she smiled: "How can my old bones still help them watch their children!" ”
"Who said it can't, even the old man said that this family has to be watched by an old lady!"
Old Mrs. Wei was very comfortable to listen to, smiled and waved her hand, "I'll talk about this later." ”
Then asked Yu Nianniang: "Have you ever been to the capital?" ”
Yu Nianniang shook her head: "No." ”
"Do you want to go?" Old Lady Wei looked at her.
Yu Nianniang tilted her head, looking curious, and looking longing, this is what she looks like a little girl: "I heard that there are many delicious and beautiful things in the capital." The palace is something that countless people have never seen in their lifetimes. Magnificent! Pretty! I heard that the palace is very large, and I can't finish it if I go around in it for a day. ”
"Of course. That's where the emperor lives! Mrs. Wei laughed and told her some interesting things about the capital that she had never heard before, and some spectacular scenery that some people would never see in their lives.
“…… The emperor personally ordered the champion Lang, when the time came to release the list, the champion Lang, Jinshi, etc., many talented sons will parade the streets, and the people can also watch on the royal street, the scene is very grand! ”
Yu Nianniang listened very seriously.
"I heard that you and Mrs. Yu came to Taiyuan on the way to stargazing and divination, so that they were able to arrive safely, and you reminded the guards in time at the Cold Food Festival, and then asked someone to teach, there is no problem in entering the Heavenly Dao Academy. Do you know that there are no female celestial masters in our Celestial Empire, and the status of celestial masters in the imperial court is no less than that of Qin Tianjian, if you become a female official, you will be able to glorify the lintel, and you will also fulfill your grandfather's wishes, as long as you need it, I should also help you! ”
Mrs. Wei spoke sincerely, with a serious attitude, and spoke very sincerely.
Yu Nianniang looked at Mrs. Wei, with a contemplative look on her face, and a pair of beautiful eyes flashing with ignorance.
"Can a woman be an official? But I'm not going to be an official. ”
Old Mrs. Wei smiled: "In the past, women couldn't be officials, but I am enlightened to Your Majesty, there are many female officials in the palace, if you have the ability to enter the Heavenly Dao Academy, this female official is different from the female officials in the palace, it is more majestic than them." ”
"Really?" Yu Nianniang was surprised, she really didn't know that there was really a place to teach people divination.
"Yes, you like these, you have to go to the capital to see if you have a chance." Old Mrs. Wei said.
Yu Nianniang smiled: "I grew up in Yizhou since I was a child, and I can come to Taiyuan Mansion to see thanks to my uncle and aunt, I am afraid that there is no chance in the capital." The tone was a little regretful, but he didn't show a very disappointed look.
"I heard that Master Fu is good at business, but Master Fu seems to be a child?"
"Yes." Yu Nianniang nodded.
"Oh." Mrs. Wei nodded, she didn't continue the topic, and Yu Nianniang talked about the fun of the capital, and Yu Nianniang listened to it with relish.
And Wei Qijiao and Wei Qixue heard that Yu Nianniang was coming on the way to Mrs. Wei's yard, so Wei Qijiao pulled Wei Qixue and turned around and left.
Back in the courtyard, Wei Qijiao drank two cups of tea in a row, as if this could suppress the anger in her heart.
Wei Qijiao has been liked by Wei Qixue's father and mother since she was a child, and her temperament is more pampered, not to mention that the matter of the paddock made her hate Yu Nianniang very much.
"Sister, it's just a merchant girl, why do you want to make a picture that you don't dare to see people. If people know, it will seem that we are petty and don't know the general situation. Wei Qixue said disapprehantly.
"Sister." Wei Qijiao looked at Wei Qixue coldly: "I've never been afraid of her, but I don't want to see her at all." Have you forgotten what she said about me at the Cold Food Festival, now everyone in Taiyuan Mansion knows how to marry me in the future. Saying that, her eyes were hazy with tears, and she said hatefully: "It's just that her crooked doors and ramps have been confirmed." In my opinion, she was just right that day. Otherwise, she heard some rumors outside, so she dared to say that. But now everyone thinks that she has some real skills, what can I do in the future......" After speaking, she lay on the bed and cried.
Wei Qixue looked distressed, and she also complained about Yu Nianniang in her heart.
"Sister, don't cry, you're right, I think she's just better at figuring out people's hearts than others. Huang Tianshi didn't dare to be so sure of this kind of thing, and when she said it in front of everyone, she dared to be a little girl, which shows that the picture is not small, and her grandmother still takes a fancy to her......"
