The news of Yu Daosheng brought by Duan Licheng is like a cocooned chrysalis, cutting a hole, as long as you peel it off hard, you can hope to see the truth! At the same time, she had more questions in her mind. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

For example, what about the servants who served him after the blood sacrifice of Yu Dao?

Jing Duan Licheng recalled that Yu Daosheng had been renting a yard before, there was a small servant, and a coachman who drove horses, and a mother-in-law who did sundries was left in the yard.

After Yu Daosheng's sudden blood sacrifice, these servants also left not long after, and Duan Licheng didn't know where to go.

If you can find someone who serves Yu Daosheng, you may be able to learn more.

The days passed quickly, and the Duanyang Festival finally came.

Daming Lake is lively, and Fuyi is preparing for various matters of Duanyang dragon boat racing.

Because this year's dragon head festival was changed to the Heavenly Master Temple. You need to walk and climb the mountain, so the time of the dragon head festival has also been changed from before the previous dragon boat race to the first day of the Duanyang Festival.

Early in the morning, there was Fu Yi presiding, and the crew members who participated in the dragon boat race each carried their own team of dragon heads to the Tianshi Temple.

The Heavenly Master Temple prepared all the utensils needed for the dragon head festival very early, and also cleaned the Heavenly Master Temple up and down to show its attention to the dragon head festival. Naturally, there are a lot of people who go to see the excitement. This is another vigorous propaganda for the Heavenly Master Temple.

And Qu Zi Temple has only been cleaned this year.

When the dragon head festival was solemnly held in the Heavenly Master Temple, the general's mansion received the Duanyang zongzi sent by the queen's mother.

As is the case in the palace in previous years, there are six flavors of zongzi. There are millet wrapped in mushroom leaves, miscellaneous rice dumplings, and meat added to rice, as well as chestnuts, red dates, and red beans, a total of six flavors!

The General's Mansion and Yu Nianniang, including Yu Nianniang, have a total of eleven masters, one for each taste, and a large frame.

Mrs. Wei was very happy and warmly exchanged a few words with the waiter. Then he generously rewarded the waiter.

The chamberlain took the silver, shook it in his hand, and then said with a smile: "The queen mother said, all the girls in the house will each make a sachet to show gratitude!"

It's the first time I've designated a way of thanksgiving!

Sending off the chamberlain, Mrs. Wei asked people to distribute the zongzi to each courtyard, and then went to Mrs. Wei.

“…… Since the beginning of the Northwest War the year before last, the queen mother has sent people to send zongzi to the general's mansion during the Duanyang Festival in the past two years, but she has not clearly mentioned the matter of gratitude like this time, what do you mean by the queen mother? ”

The door of the house has long been replaced with a curtain of Xiangfei bamboo, and the wind outside blows in through the cracks, and the house is cool and suitable. Mrs. Wei leaned back on the couch, holding a cup of freshly brewed tea in her hand.

After listening to Mrs. Wei's words, she thought for a while and said, "Then do you know which dumplings the queen has rewarded?"

"I've already sent someone to inquire."

After a while, the inquirer went home.

"In addition to our General's Mansion, there are also Hubu Shangshu Mansion, Zhenguo Mansion, Protector General's Mansion, Taifu Temple Shaoqing Mansion, Dali Temple Qing Mansion ......"

The eldest prince is sixteen this year, and it is time to choose a concubine, and in combination with the several mansions where the queen mother sends zongzi, there are unmarried girls of appropriate age.

Mrs. Wei was overjoyed: "Could it be that the queen is choosing a concubine for the eldest prince?"

A mother-in-law outside hurriedly walked in: "Mrs. Hui, the concubine Niangniang sent someone to send zongzi over."

Mrs. Wei and Mrs. Wei were stunned.

The person sent by the queen mother to deliver things had just left, and Concubine Tong also sent someone to send zongzi on the back foot.

Mrs. Wei didn't dare to delay, and took people to the main courtyard.

The person who came had been waiting outside, without the slightest impatience, Mrs. Wei first confessed after arriving, but the waiter said with a smile: "There are many things in the general's mansion, and Mrs. is not polite." Pointing to a basket of zongzi, he said, "This is the concubine Niangniang gave to the general and his wife, as well as the old lady Wei and the second wife." Without waiting for Mrs. Wei to answer, she said, "The deputy envoy has already taken office." The emperor values the deputy envoy, which is a good thing for the general's mansion! ”

"Inherit the good words of the father-in-law." Mrs. Wei didn't know what the waiter meant by what she said for a long time, so she had to smile politely and greet him.

After a few words, the waiter asked the lid on the basket to be lifted and enthusiastically introduced: "This is specially made by the concubine Niangniang, several flavors, Mrs. can taste which flavor she likes when she eats, Niangniang said, if Mrs. and the old lady like to eat, let people hand a message to the palace, and Niangniang let people do it."

Mrs. Wei looked flattered, and thanked her, "Thank you, Concubine Niang."

The waiter nodded with a smile, and said curiously: "Why aren't the girls in the house here?" I don't know if a few girls like it or not? ”

"Several girls in the house are serving the old lady in Nanyuan, and my father-in-law suddenly came, I was afraid of being rude, so I came over first." Mrs. Wei looked at the chamberlain and pondered, "Why don't I let a few girls come out to see my father-in-law."

"Don't dare to disturb the old lady's rest, then our family will meet the girl in the house for the concubine."

Mrs. Wei thought that the chamberlain would postpone it, but she didn't expect him to agree very happily. Mrs. Wei didn't know what the concubine meant. Someone invited the four sisters of Wei Qiyu to come out.

The chamberlain smiled and said to Mrs. Wei: "The girls in the General's Mansion are really dignified and virtuous. There are only four girls in the house? ”

Mrs. Wei paused and said: "Back to my father-in-law, there are five girls living in the mansion, these four are girls from the General's Mansion, and there is a Yu girl who is the descendant of our old lady who thought she was a friend before, and the old lady met her inadvertently when she was in Taiyuan Mansion, so she was brought back to the capital, which is also the old lady's last wish."

"Oh." The waiter looked abrupt and said very kindly: "It's okay, since you are a guest of the General's Mansion, please come out and meet you."

Mrs. Wei had no choice but to send someone to Yusheng Pavilion to invite Yu Nianniang.

Because of Duanyang today, Yu Nianniang plans to go to the Hexagram Pavilion later, and she hasn't gone out yet.

After listening to the words of the next person, Yu Nianniang was also very strange, she took Mother Sun and Linglong to the main courtyard.

Wei Qiyu and the others are either wearing beautiful clothes, or they are the latest appearance in the capital, anyway, the four of them all look dignified, beautiful and generous, and their gestures are full of everyone's demeanor.

Compared with Yu Nianniang, who was wearing a plain shirt, she was too ordinary.

But when the waiter saw Yu Nianniang, his expression was kind and his words were kind, and he was even a little more enthusiastic than Wei Qiyu and others.

Mrs. Wei's mind moved.

After the waiter finished speaking, he also gave a reward, and before leaving, the waiter said: "The concubine asked each of the girls to make a sachet to show gratitude!"

Mrs. Wei was very surprised in her heart, and after respectfully sending off the chamberlain, she said to a few people: "You all heard it, go back and make two sachets today."

It is also a custom to wear sachets in Duanyang. The sachet is filled with cinnabar, realgar and other incense medicines, wrapped with silk cloth outside, buckled into a rope with five-color silk thread to make different shapes, the fragrance is overflowing, various shapes, exquisite and lovely, can ward off evil and drive away plague.

"Are those two sachets made the same or different?" Defend the slopes.

"It's up to you, mainly by yourself, it's a piece of mind." Mrs. Wei said, and then said to Yu Nianniang with a smile: "...... Although they are all about the same, but in the end it is the intention of the queen and the concubine, I heard that you go out at about this hour every day, it is better to bring a few zongzi, you can fill your stomach when you are hungry, but remember to come back at noon to eat. "It's very magnanimous.

Yu Nianniang was puzzled, two days ago, she also heard Linglong say that Mrs. Wei complained in Nanyuan that she was running out of a girl's house all day long, saying that the hexagram gallery had been open for so long and had never reported the situation to her.

Yu Nianniang didn't believe that Mrs. Wei could really figure it out all at once.

She smiled and said, "Not going out this morning."

"Oh. The Duanyang Festival is here, so it's okay not to go out. Mrs. Wei said. ordered someone to send the zongzi to each courtyard, and she went back to Nanyuan by herself.

Although Li is not as smart as Mrs. Wei, he is not stupid either.

The two ladies in the palace sent people to send zongzi one after another, and at the same time asked all the girls in the house to make a sachet to show their gratitude.

How can it be such a coincidence! In addition to the two ladies in the palace who started fighting, I am afraid there are other deep meanings.

After thinking for a moment, he followed him to Nanyuan.

As soon as Wei Hongfeng left, no one discussed, and helped to come up with ideas, and the Li family leaned closer to Mrs. Wei. Now she is coming to Mrs. Wei whenever she has something!

And Yu Nianniang left the main courtyard and went back to Yusheng Pavilion directly, and the people of Zongzi had already sent it over.

After entering the house, Mother Sun separated Jixing and Baizhao, and quietly asked Yu Nianniang: "Is the girl going out today?"

"Say it again!" Yu Nianniang made it at the table, and Linglong made tea and brought it over.

At noon, Wei Hongshan came back, and everyone went to the flower hall in Nanyuan to eat. After finishing the meal, they each returned to their yards to make sachets, and Yu Nianniang asked Mother Sun to make two identical sachets. The difference is that the sachet given to the queen is embroidered with silver silk thread with a phoenix, and the sachet given to the concubine is embroidered with rich bamboo.

The medicine inside is really easy to get, Yu Nianniang originally liked to fiddle with herbs, just embroider the sachet and put the medicine into the sachet.

After dinner in the evening, she gave the sachet to Mrs. Wei.

On the day of the Duanyang Festival the next day, Mrs. Wei took the sachet and entered the palace early to thank her.

And the general's mansion began to sprinkle and clean the court from top to bottom, and unexpectedly, it didn't take long for the emperor to send someone to send zongzi, which was similar to what the queen and the concubine sent. also let the people of the General's Mansion prepare a thank-you gift, but it was to make all the sons of the Mansion compose a poem related to Duanyang.

When the sun rises in the middle, people hang wormwood or calamus outside the house to ward off evil spirits.

As for the dragon boat race, because the queen and the concubine suddenly sent zongzi, Mrs. Wei ordered that no one could go to Daming Lake to watch the dragon boat race.

Wouldn't it be a bad thing if it was really the prince who chose a concubine, so that the people in the palace inadvertently saw a few girls crowded in the crowd, shouting like other spectators!

After lunch, Yu Nianniang took Mother Sun and Linglong out of the General's Mansion, and when their carriage stopped outside the Hexagram Pavilion, the people who had been quietly following behind turned back.

He went around and around before returning to the palace.

The garden of the morning glow hall is full of flowers, and you can smell the good fragrance of flowers inside when you stand outside the courtyard wall. Concubine Tong leaned on the carved silk pillow embroidered with lilies, and a palace maid beside the couch knelt respectfully on the ground, hanging her legs for her.

Another palace maid washed her hands and peeled the lychees seriously.

The waiter who was ordered to deliver zongzi to various mansions was bending down and bowing his head to reply to Concubine Tong's words.

“…… Several houses behaved similarly, but I didn't expect Niangniang to give zongzi on the Duanyang Festival this year, but the attitude was still respectful. Don't dare to treat it lightly. ”

The weather is hot, Concubine Tong is beautiful, plump, and most afraid of heat. At this time, she only wore a tulle on the outside!

Hearing this, a coldness flashed in Concubine Tong's eyes.

With her current status, few people dare to openly contradict her. Except, of course, for those stubborn old ministers in the court.

At this time, a palace maid came in and whispered in Concubine Tong's ear.

"Let him in." Tong Guifei said.

Then I saw a man dressed as a guard walk in, and he first saluted Concubine Tong.

Concubine Tong leaned on the couch, raised her hand lazily, and said casually: "Say."

The guard immediately said respectfully: "Hui Niangniang, she went to the Hexagram Pavilion in the afternoon, and there is no business in the hall. The humble inquired in the neighborhood, and the girl Yu would go every day, sometimes in the morning, sometimes close to noon, and the time was uncertain. ”

"Hmm." Concubine Tong replied lightly.

"With humble speculation, the reason why she sometimes goes late is that she should go to Kunyuan. And I heard that this Yu girl has her own skills, and she is not very serious about the teaching and learning of Kunyuan. ”

"Oh?" Concubine Tong's fingers tapped on the couch, her eyes contemplative.

After a while, he said, "Then does she usually have any special acquaintances?"

The guard thought for a while and said, "This doesn't seem to be the case, although she lives in the General's Mansion, her relationship with several girls in the General's Mansion is very ordinary." Moreover, I heard that Miss Yu had a marriage contract with the General's Mansion before, but later, she said no, it was a misunderstanding! ”

Concubine Tong squinted her beautiful eyes, many were unwilling, and disagreeing ended in a misunderstanding.

The guard glanced at Concubine Tong and thought for a while before saying: "I think that this Yu girl has not been taught since she was a child, even if she has some talent, she is just mediocre, and she still thinks very highly of herself!"

"You know what!" Concubine Tong looked at him coldly: "Xuanshu is not a imperial examination, it must be based on the book." Alright, you go down. ”

"Yes!" The guards hurriedly retreated.

In Kunning Palace, the palace maids and others were all sent outside, and the queen was sitting in the palace complaining.

“…… I don't know what the emperor thinks, she is lawless and reckless, and she almost forgets what her identity is......"

Chi Langyi sat down and drank tea, and listened to the queen's words with a pale face before saying, "It's just that I learned to send a few zongzi, how can it be so serious."

The queen's apricot eyes suddenly widened, and she looked at Chi Langyi: "She almost followed me directly to wear a phoenix robe, is this a trivial matter?" Am I your sister? ”

Chi Langyi's tone was calm: "What are you not my sister?"

"And who are you talking to?" The queen glared at him dissatisfied.

Chi Langyi put down the cup in his hand and said, "Don't worry!"

The queen is in the palace, this younger brother has a lot of worries, and he also helps her with advice when he has something to do on weekdays, as long as he says that there is a way, there must be a way, the queen immediately looked at Chi Langyi seriously.

Who knows, but he pointed to the tea in the cup and said, "This Biluochun tastes good, I'll bring some back later."

The queen was angry, and her face was flat: "No."

Chi Langyi was not angry, and said slowly: "The eldest prince has reached the age of choosing a concubine, and the second prince is not young, so it is said that he can also accept a concubine, as long as this concubine is accepted, the next thing is to canonize the prince."

The queen looked at Chi Langyi seriously.

"The concubine wants to help the second prince take a satisfactory concubine, this is human nature, she does those things just to anger you, you see that you have been a lot impatient for the eldest prince's affairs for a while."

The queen couldn't help nodding, as long as she thought of Tong Guifei's woman Jian planning to snatch what belonged to her son, she couldn't sit still.

"Just do what you have to do, everything has to be decided by the emperor!"

The queen will also come to her senses: "But I heard that she sent someone to the general's mansion to see Miss Yu."

"Stop!" Chi Langyi said expressionlessly: "I'm afraid I've already explored the affairs of the General's Mansion clearly."

The queen frowned: "If it's for the second prince's business, why did you meet the girl from the General's Mansion alone." Then the queen looked solemn: "Didn't you say that Miss Yu is very powerful, could it be that Chaoxia Palace already knows?"

Chi Langyi's face was ugly, obviously he also thought of it!
