Chapter 179: Chongyang
Chapter 179 Chongyang
The middle-aged servant woman looked at Li Xiaonuan and the others with surprise on her face, and then looked at Hongfu who ran over with a smirk, thought about it, took half a step back, and did not speak.
Hongfu ran to Li Xiaonuan, tilted his head, looked at her with his mouth open, saliva flowed down the corners of his mouth, Li Xiaonuan smiled so much that his eyes were bent, he pulled out a handkerchief, raised his hand to wipe Hongfu's saliva, and took a dried apricot from his purse and stuffed it into Hongfu's mouth, and asked with a smile:
"What good things did Hongfu eat this morning?"
"Cakes, bean ditches."
Hongfu bit the dried apricot hard, waved his arm and replied vigorously,
"Red bean porridge or mung bean porridge?"
Li Xiaonuan asked with a smile, Hongfu's face became confused, he broke his fingers hard, thought for a long time, and replied with difficulty:
"Feng Dou, you got right, eat sugar"
Hongfu opened his mouth happily, Li Xiaonuan took another piece of dried apricots from his purse and stuffed it into Hongfu's mouth, and praised with a smile:
"I haven't seen you for a few years, Hongfu has become smarter, and she answered so quickly"
Hongfu pointed at Li Xiaonuan, laughed, clapped his legs and jumped in circles,
"Sugar sister, sugar sister, you are sugar sister"
Mama Sun looked at the excited Hongfu with a surprised face, and only turned her head to look at Li Xiaonuan for a long time and said:
"It's not easy for her to remember you"
Li Xiaonuan laughed out loud, lowered his voice and said:
"Where does she remember me, she remembers the taste of candied fruit"
Mama Sun laughed silently, nodded again and again, Li Xiaonuan beckoned to Hongfu,
"Hongfu, what are you doing with this flower?"
"Mrs., Mrs. said, move good meat"
Hongfu said happily, and the middle-aged servant woman stepped forward and bent her knees, and said with a smile:
"Mrs. is the ancestor, the ancestor said that Hongfu sleeps when she is full, and it is not good for her body, so she will be asked to move these flowers every day, move out and move in again."
"This is the Ancestral Mercy Place."
Li Xiaonuan replied with a smile,
"Hongfu can follow the ancestor, it is her blessing."
Li Xiaonuan patiently said a few words to Hongfu, stuffed a piece of candied fruit in her mouth, and withdrew with a smile, Hongfu pulled Li Xiaonuan's clothes and said reluctantly:
"Sugar sister, come, come again"
"Well, you move the flowers well, I'll come to see you in a while and bring you preserved peaches to eat"
Hongfu smiled with a mouth full of saliva, nodded again and again and agreed:
"Move well"
Li Xiaonuan came out with a smile, got into the sedan chair, and went back to Qinglian Courtyard directly.
Zhou Jingran dispersed, his eyes were full of smiles, and he walked towards Yuncui Palace.
The emperor really understands very well, the matter of the Nanhe embankment, not punished but commended him in the court, speaking of which, this time he is crooked and cheap, if it weren't for Xiao Ke, he wouldn't have rushed to patrol the river so early in the morning, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have known that the area around Jiebei Town was the easiest place to break the embankment, and he wouldn't have evacuated the people in advance......
Zhou Jingran stretched his arms and breathed a sigh of relief, it is better to get this color than anything else, and it is better to get the grain in advance from his mother.
When the chamberlain of Yuncui Palace saw Zhou Jingran, he hurriedly greeted him from afar, bowed down to salute, and said flattering words with a smile on his face, Zhou Jingran took out a small piece of gold from his purse and threw it over, the chamberlain took it, hurriedly thanked him, and led Zhou Jingran into the palace gate.
Cheng Guifei was dressed in a pale yellow silk dress, sat on the couch and received Zhou Jingran's salute, looked at him with pity, beckoned him to sit on the edge of the couch, looked him up and down, reached out and dusted Zhou Jingran's shoulder, and only spoke after a while,
"You, how many times have I told you, if a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, what can ask you to rush to the front? Fire and water are ruthless, tell me about you...... If there's a good one, alas"
Cheng Guifei sighed and choked up a little, and Zhou Jingran was busy comforting her:
"Don't worry, Niangniang, I'm far away from the river, Niangniang's words, I've always kept it in my heart, how can I put myself in danger, Niangniang can rest assured."
Cheng Guifei nodded, watched the palace maid bring tea and snacks, looked at Zhou Jingran and asked:
"Did you eat well in the morning? If there is no agreeable one, let them get what they want to eat. ”
"If you eat well, you're not hungry."
Cheng Guifei nodded with a smile, Zhou Jingran lowered his voice, and said in a low voice that Defu Lou and Yuwei Zhai should go to Jiebei Town to collect grain in advance, sighed and said:
"Although my father didn't blame me for this embankment breaking, I always feel uncomfortable in my heart, if I can think more and do more, those people may not be like this, they will not have a home like this, so they can do their best, and they will not raise lazy people."
Cheng Guifei was about to say, but the palace maid hurriedly came in to report:
"Niangniang, the emperor is here."
Cheng Guifei hurriedly got out of the bed, and Zhou Jingran followed and walked out of the main hall together.
The emperor slowly walked into the main hall with a little tiredness, sat on the couch in the east hall, leaned on the pillow, looked at Zhou Jingran, and asked with a smile:
"Why, after getting a compliment, you rushed to offer treasure to your mother?"
Cheng Guifei pursed her lips and smiled, served the tea, and said gently:
"It's not, as soon as he came in, he was happy or something, saying that the emperor praised him for his intentions."
The emperor took the tea, took two sips, raised his finger, and motioned for Zhou Jingran to sit down, Zhou Jingran sat down on the chair in front of the couch respectfully, the emperor handed the cup in his hand to Cheng Guifei, turned his head to look at Zhou Jingran, and said slowly:
"You did your best, and you asked for awards in court, but when you get home, you should be scolded"
Zhou Jingran was nervous and awe-inspiring in his heart, and he stood up busily and shook it to the end.
"Ask Father to Teach a Lesson"
"You sit down"
A smile flashed in the emperor's eyes, and he raised his hand to signal, Zhou Jingran sat down carefully, and the emperor stared at him for a while before he said slowly:
"The water is so dangerous that you dare to stay there? The body is skinned, and the parents who receive it, don't you know how to cherish it? Think for your mother."
Cheng Guifei burst into tears on her eyelashes, she was busy not overdoing it, wiping her tears with a handkerchief, Zhou Jingran looked at the emperor with a slight stunnedness, was stunned, hurriedly stood up, bowed down and asked for sin,
"It is the son who is unfilial and asks the father for forgiveness"
"You sit down and don't move to forgive your sins, you also cherish yourself, I can have someone to forgive not in the future, everything has to be cautious, you don't need to rush to the front in everything, and Xiao Ke, tell him that his temper must also be changed, and the courage of the husband cannot be succeeded."
"It's my father who taught me a lesson."
Zhou Jingran hurriedly agreed respectfully, the emperor leaned back tiredly, Zhou Jingran looked at his father carefully, and quickly glanced at Cheng Guifei, stood up, respectfully retreated, exited the main hall, went out of the palace, got into the car, thought for a moment, lifted the curtain, and instructed Qingping to immediately invite Cheng Ke to come over.
Qingping went straight to the household department to invite Cheng Ke, Zhou Jingran and Cheng Ke were locked in the inner study, and after talking for more than half an hour, they opened the door and came out, it was noon, the two went to the water pavilion in the back garden, and had dinner together, Cheng Ke went out of Jingwang's mansion and went back to the household department on an errand.
When it was almost dark, Cheng Kecai stretched his waist, walked out of the door gate, got on the horse, as if he suddenly remembered something, turned his head to look at Luo Chuan and ordered:
"You go to the aftertaste, let the end of the winter prepare some snacks for the Double Ninth Festival, well, forget it, or go back to the house first, you go to Ping'an, just say the master's instructions, let him give you the list of dim sum in this year's festival in the house, you take the list, go to the aftertaste, let the end of winter according to the list and then with other snacks, one, the dim sum can not be heavy, two, the house has prepared a few boxes, the aftertaste Zhai will be equipped with a few boxes, all the accounts, let Ping'an also close the cash and send it to the aftertaste."
Luo Chuan blinked and hurriedly bowed in agreement.
Ping'an listened to Luo Chuan's words, gave Luo Chuan the dim sum list, watched Luo Chuan go out, stayed straight for a long time, thought about it, and went to the inner study to find the prince.
In a blink of an eye, it was the day of Chongyang, the first day, the princess took the trouble to tell Li Xiaonuan, what are the rules in the palace, how many concubines, how are the concubines, what are their preferences, what are taboos, how many old concubines, princesses, princesses, princesses, who are relatives with whom, who has a holiday with whom, and talked about it for a day, but the more she talked, the more chaotic it became, the princess sighed, pulled Li Xiaonuan and said worriedly:
"It's all a matter of hundreds of years, and it's really unclear for a while, tomorrow you don't leave me, look at my eyes, don't be afraid, just don't make a big mistake. Also, come over a little early tomorrow, wear it, let me take a closer look, don't lose your courtesy. ”
"Well, when I go back later, I'll ask someone to find all the clothes and jewelry, why don't I send it over tonight for my mother to see, if it doesn't look suitable tomorrow morning, it will be too tight to change it."
Li Xiaonuan said with a smile, and the princess nodded again and again,
"Or are you thoughtful, just like that, you go back and pick out your clothes and accessories, and let people send them over for me to see"
Li Xiaonuan listened carefully to the princess's trivial explanations for two quarters of an hour, and the sky outside had already darkened, so the princess sent her out of the courtyard uneasily.
Not long after Li Xiaonuan returned to Qinglian Courtyard, Cheng Ke also returned to the courtyard, and saw a bed of clothes spread out in the wing, Li Xiaonuan was comparing with several girls such as Zhuqing, Zhuye, and Jade Buckle to pick out clothes.
When Li Xiaonuan saw Cheng Ke coming in, he hurriedly ordered Zhuqing and others to collect their clothes, waited for Cheng Ke to go to the robe outside, and said with a smile:
"Why don't you go take a shower first? I took advantage of this to pick out my clothes. ”
"Pick tomorrow's clothes?"
"Well, my mother is not at ease, I am afraid that what I am wearing, in case it is not appropriate, it will not be good if it is rude, so I thought that I would pick it up tonight and send it over to my mother first, so that it will be much more appropriate tomorrow."
Cheng Ke lowered his head, looked at Li Xiaonuan with a smile in his eyes, and sighed softly,
"When the eldest sister and the second sister were at home, my mother didn't care so much, why did you coax your mother to hurt you so much?"
"When did I coax my mother?"
Li Xiaonuan muttered in a low voice, Cheng Ke nodded with a smile,
"No coaxing, no coaxing, I'll help you pick out clothes"
Cheng Ke said as he walked to the couch, rummaged through the piles of clothes, and said with a smile:
"Actually, you don't have to choose, you look good in whatever you wear."
Half an hour in advance, hehe, just a wrong eye, I saw that there were ten reminder tickets, urging 9000 and dropping up, all idle can not see, but it is not good to see idle.
