Chapter 182: Good News
In this way, within a month, the whole of Kyoto saw the domineering and domineering of the King of Zhongshan and his wife, and some people said behind their backs, "As soon as the old prince and princess passed away, the King of Zhongshan inherited the title, and he no longer had any scruples, which revealed his true nature." What is chic, what is all-rounder, I'm afraid it's all pretended, right? ”
"That is, Princess Zhongshan was born in a peasant family, and she suddenly married into the palace, and she didn't know how to show off her majesty for a while. As the old saying goes, I am most afraid of the soil leopard blooming, and the horse manure egg fever. That's not true at all..."
It was a crisp autumn day, the afternoon sun was just setting in the west, and there was not a hint of wind in the garden. Dong Rong sat on the recliner while enjoying the scenery while eating grapes and melons, the grapes in this season have just been frosted, it is the sweetest time, and the melons have just been transported from the distant sand plow, green skin and red scoops, cut into small pieces and placed in the crystal plate, even if you don't eat just watch, you feel very happy and sweet.
Dong Rong has had a big appetite recently, and the more she eats, the happier she becomes, and she still doesn't want to stop when she sees that the plate is about to be empty, Zizhu remembered Mr. Feng's instructions and hurriedly said that she would remove the fruit plate and replace it with a cup of warm bone broth porridge.
Dong Rong wiped her hands and complained a little unsatisfied, "I can't live this day, I can't even eat a grape, it's so boring." ”
Zizhu giggled and coaxed, "Madame likes to eat, I have picked all the grapes on the shelf and dried them in the past few days, and when Madame gives birth to the little master, I will eat as much as I want." However, you can't eat too much at this time. ”
Dong Rong was deflated, and instead held the sweet white cup and slowly drank the porridge while asking, "Haven't you sent a message from your hometown yet?" At this time, it is estimated that the employment has already begun. ”
Zizhu took out two freshly baked small cakes from the snack box and put them on the white porcelain plate, and said with a smile, "Madame, don't worry, our second young master is good-looking, poetry and writing, and he is also kind, and the Yang family wants to marry the girl even if they don't accept the dowry." ”
"Smack! Where did the dead girl learn the weird story? Dong Rong glared at Zizhu with disgust, and said with a smile, "Whose girl is not pampered and raised, people just understand that we have difficulties, and we can't be rude." In the future, Wanyin will be a family when she marries, and you can't be lazy. ”
"Well, ma'am, I'm just talking. The second young master is now a lifter, who dares to snub the lady of lifting? ”
Speaking of her younger brother, Dong Rong smiled even more happily, and said with a smile, "This day has passed too quickly, it seems that Brother Ping was still following me before, and in the blink of an eye, he has gained fame and fame, and he is about to marry a daughter-in-law again." ”
"No, life just flies. If you do the math, my brother and I have been coming to our house for more than half a year. ”
When the master and servant were sighing, Murong Huaide turned in from outside the garden gate. Dong Rong saw that there was joy on his face, so he stood up with a chair and asked with a smile, "Is there any happy event that can't be done, it's rare to see you smile recently?" ”
Murong Huaide saw his wife struggling to stand up with an unusually huge belly, and he rushed to him in a panic and helped her sit down, then complained, "It's good to sit and talk if you have something to say, what do you do when you always toss yourself?" ”
Dong Rong smiled and grabbed his arm and asked, "I'm boring at home, I was grounded after only pretending to be a bully once." On the contrary, some people heard that they fought for a singer a few days ago? Today, the singer came to the door and begged me to take her into the house, but they said that they didn't ask for anything, but they just wanted to be able to serve in our room. Listen, you're going to enter my bedroom, and you say you don't ask for it..."
Murong Huaide pretended to tidy up his wife's dress with a little weakness, in fact, he was also a little upset yesterday because he was trapped in Kyoto, and drank a few more glasses of wine, and happened to meet the singer who was forced to sing some dirty songs, so he made a big fuss in the restaurant and saved the singer. I didn't expect this singer to find the palace, it seems that in the future, I should look for more bad luck from Hanlin Academy and Taixue, so that they don't have to think about pulling themselves into the troubled waters of the struggle for the throne all day long. As for others, especially women, it is better to provoke less, if he is angry with his beloved wife, he will regret it.
Thinking like this, he laughed and said perfunctorily, "I just solved the singer's embarrassment for a while, why did she come to the door with the cheekiness?" You can just let people kick her out, let alone the bedroom, and there is no place for her to stand in the whole mansion. ”
After that, he quickly changed the topic again, "There was news just now, Brother Ping and Mr. Yang's family are coming to Kyoto, and they are still seventy or eighty miles away from the city gate." ”
"What? Brother Ping is here! Dong Rongxi almost jumped up, where do you remember what singer and dancer, grabbed her husband and asked, "Brother Ping came by himself, which caravan did you take?" Who is with them, and is there a guard? ”
Murong Huaide was reluctant to let his wife be anxious, and hurriedly replied carefully, "Don't worry, Brother Ping is traveling with Mr. Yang's family, and Steward Zhang is also taking care of the car, a total of thirteen cars, there will be no danger." And I also sent the guards to be casual in secret, and this news was transmitted by the guards. You just have to prepare for food and clothing, and you will probably be able to see Brother Ping by this time tomorrow. ”
"It's really good, why did this stinky boy kidnap Mr. Yang's family? I have to quickly let someone clean up the yard..."As she spoke, she was about to get up and go to Zhang Luo, which provoked Murong Huaide to stop her quickly, "Oh, don't worry, they won't be here until tomorrow afternoon." Moreover, the Yang family has an old mansion in Kyoto, and they will not borrow the palace. I guess Mr. Yang also has plans to marry a daughter in Kyoto, and he is not worried about Brother Ping'er taking the exam alone, so he moved his family to Beijing. ”
"In this way, I want to thank Mr. Yang, he is really thoughtful when he treats Brother Ping. Then I will ask people to go to the restaurant to book a table and send it to Yang's house tomorrow night, so as to save them all the way to the dust, and finally arrive and start fireworks. ”
"Okay, you can arrange these things. In addition, Brother Ping also had five or six classmates who also followed, and food and accommodation should also be arranged. ”
"But Xu Mao, they?" Dong Rong thought of her brother's good brothers, and couldn't help laughing, "At the beginning, they were locked up in the barracks and suffered together, and now they come to Kyoto to play together. ”
Murong Huaide had also heard of his brother-in-law's troubles, so he smiled and said, "They are young and lively, and they all have a lively temperament, and they must feel restrained when they live in the palace." It's better to pick up a yard in the other courtyard for them to settle down, and it's easier to get in and out. ”
"yes, that's a good idea." Dong Rong was in a good mood, and she kissed her husband on the face without hesitation, and at the end she shouted loudly Zizhu to hurry up and bring a pen and paper, she wanted to make a list and let the steward go out to buy. After all, so many people came at once, and there were many trivial things to arrange.
Murong Huaide took the teacup and accompanied him, and suddenly remembered that he had forgotten that Second Sister Cao was also in the car, but looking at his wife's red face, he swallowed his words back, so he should leave her a surprise...
On the afternoon of the second day, a convoy came from afar on the official road outside the north gate of Kyoto, and it was not conspicuous among the many cars, horses, and pedestrians. It's just that the exclamations from time to time in the last few carriages made the passers-by who heard it unconsciously raise their chins and muttered in their hearts, it was a hillbilly from other places who entered the city again, and they were dumbfounded.
Dong Ping pulled away Xu Mao, who was climbing on the window and refused to move, looked up at the sun hanging overhead, and hesitated to ask Mr. Shi to rest for a while. As the old saying goes, although the towering city walls of Kyoto are already faintly visible, it will take at least half an hour to reach the city gate, and everyone is empty, how can they go all the way into the city hungry.
He was thinking exactly like this, but the convoy suddenly stopped on the side of the road, and Steward Zhang trotted over to him and reported with a smile, "Second Young Master, our prince has brought someone to greet him." Mr. Yang has already gotten out of the car, so hurry up and go over with the sons. ”
"Oops, brother-in-law is here!" Previously, when Murong Huaide was a silly boy of the Cao family, Dong Ping and him got along very well with each other, and after Murong Huaide entered Beijing, the correspondence between the two was never broken. Suddenly hearing that his brother-in-law had picked it up, Dong Ping immediately smiled happily.
"Quickly tidy up your clothes and follow me to the King of Zhongshan." Dong Ping quickly tidied up his clothes and shouted to his lazy classmates and friends.
Xu Mao smiled and said, "This is the first time we have seen people from the royal family, brothers, don't weaken the name of our Bailu Academy!" ”
As they spoke, everyone jumped out of the car after tidying up, shaking the folding fan in their hands one by one, and taking square steps, but there was really a bit of the graceful posture of the literati.
Dong Ping didn't have the time to play with them, so he strode to the front of the convoy, and when he saw Murong Huaide, who was chatting with Mr. Yang, he shouted loudly, "Brother-in-law, why are you here?" How is my sister doing these days? ”
"It's all good," Murong Huaide patted Dong Ping's shoulders, which were much wider, and said with a smile, "Your sister has been talking about you all day long, but fortunately, you came early, otherwise I would have sent someone back to pick you up." ”
At this time, Xu Mao also rushed to the front, and Dong Ping introduced them one by one. Murong Huaide turned to Mr. Yang and said with a smile, "If Mr. is relieved, it is better to let Brother Ping'er and these classmates live in the courtyard of our palace." It is spacious and quiet, and it is quite convenient to go to Yang's Mansion and Wangfu on weekdays. ”
As soon as Xu Mao heard this, his face immediately showed joy, there was no need to live in the palace and there was no gentleman to supervise and supervise him at any time, how could they not like such a free residence?
Mr. Yang glanced at the disciples who were not promising, and thanked them with a smile, "Then the old man thanked the prince on behalf of a few inferior disciples." ”
"Sir is gracious. Today, the wind and dust are tired, the king will not disturb Mr. to go back to the house to rest, and after a few days, the king will buy wine and invite Mr. to the palace as a guest, how about it? ”
"Very good."
Dong Ping listened to the greetings between Mr. and his brother-in-law on the side, and he was so anxious that he couldn't rush to the palace in one step. Finally, everyone got into the carriage, and then hurried to the city gate. The waist card of Zhongshan Wangfu opened the way, and no one dared to stand in the way, and the convoy entered the city smoothly all the way, and then separated at the gate of the city.
Dong Rong stood in the second gate of the palace, almost stretched her neck in anticipation, and from time to time took a few Fuzi and ran out to visit. At last she heard the carriage rushing in through the side door, and she couldn't help but lift the corner of her skirt and look through the hanging flower door. R638
