062 Night Banquet

This year's August 15 is not as usual, and the women do not have to enter the palace early in the morning to say hello. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThis night banquet, in addition to admiring the moon, you also have to appreciate the nobles in Beijing. Old Taijun Feng took the third young lady, the Wang family took the fourth young master and the eighth young lady, and the two carriages set off at the right time, and when they arrived at the palace gate, the sun was already westward.

The palace people led waves of courtiers and their families to Changhua Palace.

Changhua Palace, Biwa Zhuyong, the atmosphere is open, and the feast in the palace is permanently located here. The same is true for this draft, with a high platform on the long staircase that can be used as a stage, and the layout of the outer floors is large enough to accommodate thousands of guests.

Where Manyan is located, you can see the dots of golden cinnamon on the opposite side of the water pavilion when you raise your eyes. Together with the breeze, the rich fragrance of osmanthus flowers, wisps of silk, drifted across the water surface to the tip of the nose.

The sun is still setting high. The Queen Mother arrived first, and everyone knelt on the ground with hulala; The emperor and queen followed. Man Yan rubbed his aching knees, secretly saying that he didn't know how many more times he would kneel.

Unexpectedly, the emperor had a neat temperament, and he heard the eunuch preach loudly from a distance: "The emperor has an order, and he will be exempted from courtesy today." ”

Man Yan was overjoyed in his heart, and followed the crowd to respond: "Emperor Xie." ”

Next, the emperor led the queen to the second floor of a platform, and several condescending figures on the railing could be vaguely seen. In that pavilion, there were the clan camp and the eldest princess, and the floor was Shang Shuling, Zhongshu Ling and several other important ministers of the court; A little farther away are the second-class families such as the Guogong Mansion and Jinghou, who can still see the color of the clothes worn by the emperor; Farther and farther away is a family like the Marquis of Anping.

Man Yan tried to widen his eyes, and the emperor was indeed far away, so he withdrew his giraffe-like neck.

The palace banquet of the Mid-Autumn Festival is indispensable for laughter and laughter. The Emperor and Empress Dowager held this banquet just to make it lively, and no one would not cooperate with the atmosphere. The ministers are staggered, and you push me to block; The warbler on the women's table whispered, but it also hid a sharp edge. Miss Fu San is like a wooden stake and pestle on the side, what the old lady asks her to do, she will do it, which provokes the ladies to slander, why does this prodigy have no aura at all. Miss Fu Ba received a lot of praise, and Wang's mother smiled happily as a daughter.

The third lady has a dull face, but her brain does not dare to be idle, dozens of faces correspond to people's names, and they need to be constantly strengthened to remember. She looked back one by one in her heart, silently reciting Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Wang, and when she looked up, everyone looked at her.

She woke up from a dream and asked blankly, "What's wrong?" ”

Eighth Miss Fu Manyou said unhappily: "Third sister, Brother An invited us to go to the Imperial Garden to play, do you want to go?" ”

Man Yan looked closely, and it turned out that Wang Yi'an was standing on the corridor, looking straight at her. "Third sister, do you want to enjoy the osmanthus with us?"

As soon as Man Yan wanted to refuse, he glanced at Chunxi who was standing behind his grandmother, and a bright light in his mind was fleeting. I can't help but contemplate and recall, what is the picture just now, the scene is so familiar.

Wang Yixin smiled secretly, this cousin can be in a daze when she speaks, what strange things are in her head.

Fu Manyou was almost angry: "Brother An, let's go now." ”

Man Yan said: "I'm a little sleepy, you go play." ”

She didn't want to set herself on fire, with Wang Yi'an here, the eighth sister was a powder keg that could be ignited at any time. Seeing that Fu Qingnian and Fu Man's figure was far away, she turned around, looked at the laurel tree opposite, and continued to recall the scene in Fang Cai's mind.

Pools, pavilions, and what?

Man Yan looked sideways at Chunxi, who stood aside and waited, his face looking happy.

No, Haruki's expression is not like this.

Ah, Manyan almost screamed. She remembered, the dream, the dream that had been interrupted by everyone. In the dream, the bell scratched her arm painfully, and there was another person behind the bell, it was Chunxi. Chunxi's face was frightened.

However, it is still not right. This picture does not match reality. When she walked back and forth to the ancestral hall in March, she passed by the Twin Pavilion of the Lotus Heart Bridge, and she jumped back and forth on the dark bridge several times, and the bell and Chunxi came back to her. In the dream, the bell grabbed her arm and stopped her.

It's different, the dream is not the same as the reality. What does this mean?

The more Man Yan thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. Master Bunian said that she was gifted, and this endowment should be that she can use dreams as divination. Only in this way can it be justified. It's just that the original body died early, and no one knows about this talent. I'm afraid that the third lady herself didn't know that this was a special ability. If she really takes a dream as a divination, this dream definitely has a special meaning.

Man Yan was immersed in cracking the dream, and he didn't care about watching the ladies on the draft table show their skills. In a daze, the old lady said: "We are also going back to the palace, and we will go to your house another day to disturb you." ”

When Manyan saw it, it was dark, and the palace lights on the promenade had already been lit. Old Madam Zheng of the Imperial Doctor's family was holding her grandmother's hand: "That's decided, you must come over and bring this bad girl." ”

Mrs. Zheng didn't see anything else, and the old lady was even more overjoyed and responded. Man Yan grimaced at Mrs. Zheng, and Mrs. Zheng returned to the table with a smile.

Even if the draft is over, Man Yan doesn't know how this dinner passed. She was in a daze, and when she came back to her senses, it seemed that this was the past. She asked in a low voice, "How are the sisters, grandmother?" ”

The old lady gave her a blank look, "Go back and wait for news." ”

After leaving the palace and getting into the carriage, the old lady asked, "Why are you not giving up this night?" ”

Man Yan twisted the placket, "The granddaughter is thinking about the master's words. ”

The old lady let it go and no longer pursued it.

Five days later, the draft results came down. Fu Jin was designated as the side concubine of King Zhan, and Fu Ling was selected as the princess's attendant, but Fu Jun was defeated. When Man Yan heard this result, his heart was very heavy. She didn't expect Fu Jin to have a relationship with King Zhan. This means that the Fu family is involved with the King of Zhan, once the King of Zhan really raises troops to rebel as the master said, then how should the Fu family deal with themselves. Man Yan was so sad in his heart, and he couldn't say that he knew about it, and the meat he raised in a few days fell back.

She understands that this decision cannot be changed by anyone except the emperor and the queen mother, King Zhan. Fu Jin is even more innocent, and in the future, because of a person who has never known his life, the Fu family may also be overturned. If you are on the same side as King Zhan, as long as you lose, it is a capital crime of rebellion; Even if it is done, the rabbit dies and the dog cooks, and the Fu family has any good fruit to eat.

The key lies in the second uncle. There is no male in charge of the Fu family's big house, only the second uncle is an official in the court, if the second uncle is on the side of King Zhan, things will not be good.

When Man Yan thought of this, he felt that he couldn't sit still, at least he had to find out the movements of his second uncle. "Let's go, go to the bedside." Looking for the second master, it is easier to meet the old lady.

When it came to Woxingzhai, the second master was really there.

Man Yan stepped forward and blessed his body, "Grandfather is fine, and second uncle is fine." ”

The second master still looks like a Zhilan Yushu, and he speaks with just the right amount of gentleness. "Here comes the smoke."

Yan'er misses her grandfather in her heart, so she came to take a look. Isn't the second uncle busy with official business today? ”

The second master replied simply: "I'm busy." ”

Man Yan looked around, the jade toys on the Duobao Pavilion were full again, and the tea saucers on several cases had also been replaced with new sets. She walked to the side of the bed and called out sweetly, "Grandfather, grandfather, Yan'er has come to see you." ”

Although the old lady was sober, her spirit was not very good. After all, after drinking so many sweat pills and being sleepy every day, the spirit of the whole person is different from that of a healthy person. In addition, he was bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of the well rope, and now the medicine prescribed by the famous Taoist priest, the old lady refuses to eat it well. So I'm still asleep more than I'm awake.

Rui'er saw that the old lady was awake, remembered the second lady's order, picked up the medicine bowl on the table and walked to the bedside, and begged bitterly: "Old lady, can you drink some medicine?" If you don't drink the medicine, the slave and maid will be punished. ”

Man Yan took the medicine bowl and fed a spoonful of medicine to the old woman's mouth. "Grandfather, Yan'er fed you medicine, and you can get better soon after you drink it."

Since the old lady was seriously ill, her mind has become more detailed than before. Once upon a time, everyone outside held him, and everyone in the house coaxed him; Although there are also maids and wives now, they have changed after all. It's deserted, his yard is really deserted. The second son often came to see him, not to see if he was doing well, but to inquire about the news.

The old lady opened her eyes and looked at Fu Zhongde: "You go back." Then he opened his mouth and swallowed the black liquid from the spoon.

Rui'er was surprised to see that the old lady was willing to drink medicine. She bit her lip and endured it bitterly, and finally waited until Manyan was ready to leave. She followed: "Slave, send the third lady." ”

Man Yan waved his hand, "No need to send it, just take care of your grandfather." ”

Rui'er still followed her all the way to the gate of the courtyard. Man Yan stopped suspiciously and looked at her.

Rui'er immediately knelt down and cried and begged: "Third Miss, you are good, can you transfer the slave maid to a yard?" ”

Rui'er was scared, in the past, Qiu Yue was in front of her head in everything, and she only needed to help her side for things like feeding medicine and turning over. Now there are just her and Zhi'er in the yard, and the old lady is extremely difficult to serve, which is not good, and I don't like it, and torture everyone to death. Moreover, he also let himself look at those unsightly paintings, which were all goblins fighting.

Ignoring Rui'er's crying appearance, Man Yan asked, "Why do you want to change the yard?" ”

Rui'er was speechless.

Man Yan turned and walked away. Rui'er patted the dust off her knees, and secretly hated in her heart, is this the benevolent third lady in their mouths? If it is really benevolent, why don't you even agree to such a small request? She hated, hated these people, and never treated them as human beings. (To be continued.) )
