Early in the morning of the third day of September, Man Yan was called by Mama Fang to get up and dress up. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info the old lady stared at the side.

Looking at the slightly plump face in the bronze mirror, Fu Manyan felt that he had grown up a little. Now this body is starting to smoke, and it is half a head taller than it was in March. When Mama Fang took out the conch, Manyan couldn't bear it anymore.

"Grandmother, I didn't have to dress up at the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner last time, why are you so excited today?"

The old lady said with a tiger face: "You kid, today is different, this time I made a special trip to see the Queen Mother." The Queen Mother pays the most attention to etiquette, whether you like it or not, grandmother has to stare at you after dressing up. ”

Mama Fang said: "The old lady still wants to get it, if you don't come, the third lady is afraid that she won't let me touch it." ”

Man Yan couldn't help but complain, smeared his eyebrows with grease and powder, and took out some red lips. Is this kind of makeup appropriate for a little girl's face? Do you know what clear water out of hibiscus, natural beauty is the best, whether the world understands aesthetics.

Seeing that she was extremely unhappy, the old lady reassured: "Do you know which of the six is the most important in the court?" ”

Man Yan thought for a moment and said, "My granddaughter thinks that the officials are the most important, and it is the most important thing for a country to select talents for the imperial court. ”

The old lady nodded appreciatively, then shook her head again.

Man Yan was a little stunned at this time.

"What you say makes sense, but in Dafeng's court, the etiquette department is the heaviest. The second is the Ministry of Officials. ”

Man Yan looked at the old lady in the mirror in confusion, waiting to hear her grandmother explain to her.

"Because the Queen Mother attaches the most importance to etiquette."

Man Yan sneered secretly, the emperor looks like a person who doesn't like red tape, but the queen mother likes to be high-sounding, this mother doesn't know her son at all. Or, the Queen Mother understands, just does not follow in the footsteps of this monarch. The husband dies and obeys the son, which can't be done in the Queen Mother, no wonder Dafeng can't be unified by Confucianism.

Wait, the Queen Mother is also the mother of Prince Zhan. Prince Zhan rebelled, which side did the Queen Mother stand on? Such an important issue was forgotten. Next time, be sure to ask if you want to read the master. Whether the Queen Mother supports the emperor or the king of Zhan.

Fu Manyan was in a daze, and Mama Fang had already cleaned up for her. Finally, she put a touch of cinnabar red on her eyebrows, saying that she wanted to add some blessings.

The three of them entered the palace.

Since the emperor summoned the third lady of the Fu family alone, Man Yan went to Changping Palace alone. The old lady went to the Queen Mother.

The emperor looked back and forth, unconcealing his surprise at Man Yan. Why is she so young, this is really the third girl of the Fu family who is old-fashioned and thoughtful. It was so surprising to him.

Since he is a future national teacher, he must be familiar with it first.

The emperor's words were quite gentle at first. "I heard that the secret edict you discovered, the bamboo knife was also the first thing you came up with?"

Man Yan quickly calmed down after a brief startle. "The courtiers don't dare to take credit, and the secret edict happened to be found when reading a book, and the bamboo knife is the work of Mo Xiangzhai."

The emperor suddenly laughed loudly, and for some reason he was so happy.

Man Yan lowered his head to hide his stunnedness.

"I heard that Puju was also opened by you?"

Man Yan looked up, and the emperor's eyes were deep, not as friendly as before.

"The courtiers don't dare to deceive, it's indeed the restaurant that she opened in partnership."

Man Yan didn't dare to stare at the emperor anymore and lowered his head. Suddenly, I heard an abrupt question, "You are very familiar with Qin Che?" ”

Man Yan was shocked, and then realized that Qin Che was doing things for the emperor. After some consideration, he replied, "Not very familiar." ”

For some reason, she was a little disappointed in her heart. Qin Che is the emperor's person, why didn't he tell her earlier?

Forget it, tell her what to do, it won't be different.

"Pu Ju seems to have a lot of income, and I heard that several princes are frequent visitors. If only the treasury could make money every day like that. ”

Man Yan pouted secretly, where did he hear so much. What day to make money, the most day is only a few hundred taels of silver. It's so exaggerated, doesn't it just want her to bleed?

"Your Majesty, in the future, as long as the court encounters difficulties in money, Pu Ju should contribute to the country. The so-called take from the people and use it for the people, can seek some benefits for the people of Dafeng, and only then does it deserve the love of the emperor. ”

The emperor couldn't help but be overjoyed, and praised repeatedly: "Yes, yes, I think you are very good, very good." ”

Man Yan took advantage of the situation and said, "The courtiers have a reluctant request to ask the emperor to inscribe Pu Ju's name. It is also good to ask the courtiers and guests who often go to Puju to pay more respects to the emperor's ink treasure. ”

The emperor readily agreed, a thousand words, why not? Haha, a good apprentice who doesn't read the master.

Fu Manyan's first level was passed like this, there was a little thrill, and there was more than enough danger.

Out of Changping Palace, Fu Manyan was led to Fushou Palace by Shi Gonggong again. The place where the Queen Mother lives is really "the glittering Beique Zhu Palace, and the towers are carved and painted". The long steps into the palace are paved with a long multicolored brocade carpet, and the color of the pattern keeps changing with the advance of the person, until the palace gate. It's like this outside, so there is no need to say inside the palace, compared to the Changping Palace, it is indescribably magnificent.

When Manyan entered, the Queen Mother and the old lady were drinking tea with a teacup, smiling. Incense mist curls above the teacup. From a distance, the Queen Mother's face is very amiable.

Fu Manyan kowtowed to the ground, "Knock on the Queen Mother, Queen Mother Wan'an." ”

"Come over here, tell me to take a good look. Our little prodigy in Luojing, your grandmother hid you too deeply. The Queen Mother smiled warmly and beckoned Fu Manyan to come over.

In just a few steps, Man Yan went from being relieved to being worried. The further she went, the clearer the Queen Mother's little thumb would see. The fingers are covered with pointed tortoiseshell finger covers, and the finger sleeves are inlaid with gold and jade, shaped like a circle of sharp weapons.

She felt a pang of unease inexplicably. Sharp represents aggressiveness, and the queen mother's aesthetic is so avant-garde, almost catching up with modern teenagers who wear studded shoes and hedgehog bags; Or, the Queen Mother is actually a very aggressive person.

Almost instinctively, Fu Manyan smiled lightly at the Queen Mother, and then ran to the side of the old lady with a cigarette, bowing his head and making a shy appearance.

The old lady felt a little strange, Yan'er is usually very bold, how can she be afraid today. looked at the Queen Mother and smiled: "It's still the Queen Mother's mother, this girl, this girl looks a little like a girl's family at this time." ”

"Third Miss, please have tea." Aunt Qiu respectfully brought the tea over, and Fu Manyan took the tea bowl into her hand from afar.

The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes and showed even more kindness. "If it weren't for this place, she would just be afraid to call me aunt and grandmother, and you would still call me Sister Xiang. The days passed so fast, in a blink of an eye, the mourning family had left Wuzhou for nearly forty years. I don't know, what Wuzhou is like now, I really want to go back and have a look. ”

The Queen Mother had a little melancholy on her face, grabbed the old lady's hand and patted it gently, once, twice. Fu Manyan hid behind, pretending to lower his head and play with his fingers, but he looked at the sharp and thin finger sleeve that jumped and jumped.

Speaking of the past, it is very natural to talk about the friendship between Yu Xiang and Feng Yuan, and the old lady also feels a lot of emotion. Next, the two reminisced about the past together, full of warmth.

The atmosphere in the room was so harmonious and wonderful, but Fu Manyan's nerves were even tighter. Finally, the Queen Mother finally asked her.

"I heard the emperor say that if you don't read the master, you want to accept Yan'er as an apprentice, do you know about this?" The Queen Mother gently put down the teacup and quietly put her little finger back.

"yes, it's just that the smoke has refused. The Queen Mother, worship the master as the master, and then you can't get married, is this true? The word regret was almost written on the old lady's face.

"Ouch, hiss-" The Queen Mother suddenly got excited, and the long finger guard scraped the flesh of her palm.

Aunt Qiu pulled the palm open to take a look, and thankfully, it didn't hurt the flesh, but only broke the skin a little.

Fu Manyan's eyes were like a magnifying glass to observe Aunt Qiu, and the slightest change between Aunt Qiu's eyebrows was subtle.

The Queen Mother withdrew her hand. "Don't get in the way, quickly bring that pot of orchids over and ask the little prodigy to see, why hasn't it bloomed yet?"

Aunt Qiu's chest was relieved, and she was relieved. Fu Manyan blessed his soul and let go of his heart with Aunt Qiu. She didn't know the Queen Mother's true intentions, so she could only capture the information on Aunt Qiu's face.

The Queen Mother looked at the old lady at this time and said, "Since the third girl refused, that's it." ”

Fu Manyan raised his head. From her point of view, she could just see the Queen Mother's shoulders shrugged slightly, and then slowly lowered. The Queen Mother just took a deep breath, and a deep breath meant relaxation, or release. The Queen Mother felt relieved because she refused to read the master. The Queen Mother doesn't want her to be an apprentice to Master Bunian, or doesn't like her?

The pot of Ori Crane Orchid was brought over, and it looked stronger than when it was in the Anping Marquis Mansion, and the leaves were more bent due to gravity and drooped even more.

The Queen Mother said coldly: "Don't spread the rules of Bumen." ”

Fu Manyan saw that her grandmother was stunned, bowed her head and said, "The courtiers obey the decree of the Queen Mother." ”

The old lady then reacted: "The concubine obeys the decree of the Queen Mother." ”

The Queen Mother changed her face in a moment, and her prestige was swept away. "Yan'er, look at this folded crane orchid, why hasn't it bloomed yet?"

Man Yan took a cursory look, the leaves of Phnom Penh were soft and spiritless, and said, "The light is a little insufficient, and the watering is too much." In the morning, you can take the aisle to bask in the sun and water frequently, but not too much each time. If you don't open it this year, you probably won't have to wait until next year. ”

When she opened the leaf again, she noticed that there was a new branch that had just sprouted, but only half of it was left. She reached out and touched the cut. The new branch was deliberately cut off. As long as the orchid grows new branches, it should not be far from the flowers.

The flowers raised by the Queen Mother should have been deliberately cut off by the Queen Mother. But why did the Queen Mother do this? Fu Manyan's thumb and index finger unconsciously rubbed on the broken part of the new branch.

In the end, Fu Manyan left Fushou Palace full of worries.

"Qiu'er, do you think I'm too ruthless?"

Aunt Qiu's face turned pale. "The Queen Mother is also for the emperor and King Zhan, Mr. Ying's hexagram is all unfulfilled, not to mention, Miss Fang Caisan didn't drink that cup of tea."

"Yes, since she chose it herself, she can only admit it. The mourning family went to the Buddhist hall to recite the scriptures and eliminate the evils. You don't have to follow. ”

The Queen Mother left, but Aunt Qiu was still kneeling on the ground, shivering like a leaf in the wind. She didn't want to kneel, but her knees were weak and she couldn't stand up for a while.

Miss Fu San didn't drink that cup of tea, but she touched the pot of flowers. Whether it is tea or flowers, it will not end well if it provokes the Queen Mother.

*********

After walking for so long, I am still in the palace. Fu Manyan followed behind the old lady and walked in a proper manner.

"Grandmother, the Queen Mother doesn't like me."

The old lady was very surprised: "How can you see it?" ”

"The Queen Mother's address to me has been changed three times, which shows that she didn't think about what to call me in her heart." Fu Manyan was not afraid that the Queen Mother would not like her, but that the Queen Mother, along with her grandmother and the Fu family, would not like her. "If she really thinks I'm smart, she'll keep calling me a little prodigy; If you regard me as a junior, you will be called a smoker; Miss Three can also be called, but a person will not change her name frequently in such a short period of time. Unless ......"

"Unless what?"

"Unless the Queen Mother has been thinking about it in her heart, how to call me appropriate. This means that the Queen Mother neither regards me as a prodigy nor a junior in her heart, nor does she regard me as the third lady of the Fu family. ”

"Then what identity will the Queen Mother see you?"

Man Yan shook her head, she didn't know, anyway, she felt that the Queen Mother was not in line with the kind person who often carried the Hou Mansion in her grandmother's mouth. Grandmother seemed to be very dependent on the Queen Mother, and she had to make her grandmother pay attention to this issue. "And."

"What else?"

Man Yan's face was solemn. "And Aunt Qiu's reaction. If the Queen Mother is really happy to see me, Aunt Qiu should be very relaxed. But as far as I could see, Aunt Qiu was a little nervous at first, as if something was going to happen at any moment. It wasn't until later that when she talked about the pot of orchids, Aunt Qiu's performance was like the aunt in charge next to the Queen Mother. ”

The old lady was speechless.

It wasn't until he was completely out of the palace that the old lady sighed: "My smoke is better than that fortune teller." When your birthday is over, Grandmother plans to officially let you help the housekeeper. ”

Man Yan was really shocked by her grandmother's words, and blurted out without checking questions for a while. "When is my birthday?"

Fortunately, the old lady didn't care, glared at her softly, and said, "You kid, you even forgot your birthday, September 25." It seems that he is busy with Puju's affairs, stupid child. ”

Fu Manyan rubbed against his grandmother, and his heart was hot. Even the birthday is the same as in modern times, the twenty-fifth day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar. She hadn't had a few birthdays in her previous life, but now that she has a grandmother, she will remember this day for her, which is great.

"Grandmother, why don't we go to Puju to eat, aren't you tired of eating that medicinal diet these days?"

The old lady Junle said: "Just go to Puju, I haven't eaten that pumpkin vine for a long time, old woman, I really think about it." ”

Now that the staff has increased and the number of guests has decreased, everyone is not so tired. When the treasure umbrella heard that the old lady was coming, he made a whole table of the dishes that the old lady liked to eat, and the old lady ate all kinds of fun, and he couldn't wait to boast the treasure umbrella to the sky.

Muyu secretly dragged the third lady and stuffed a note into her hand. Man Yan looked at it, and it was written: Baiyun Temple does not read. Without reading the master's handwriting, the master asked her to meet at Baiyun Temple. It's a bit strange to ask her about this time.

Look at the sky, the sun is high, and there is still a moment before it gets dark.

"Grandmother, you go back to the house with the treasure building first, I'll go out with Fuchen, and I'll go back later."

The old lady hummed and looked at the dust. "Take care of Miss."

The carriage of the Hou Mansion was left to her grandmother, and Fu Manyan asked Twilight to find another one, anyway, Pu Ju was about to close, so she was the boss and asked the employees to work overtime. (To be continued.) )
