Chapter Ninety-Four: New Year's Greetings
After Su Yuzhu returned to Zhuangzi, he immediately felt tired. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Therefore, as soon as she returned to her room, she collapsed on the bed, and it took a while to sit up, and Tao Li came over to pinch her legs, but was sent down by Su Yuzhu to rest.
She sat on the edge of the bed by herself, rubbing her knees.
Qiao'er had already returned from Beijing, and when she saw Su Yuzhu sighing and rubbing her knees, she felt funny, and said, "Are you so tired?" While holding Su Yuzhu's crown dress, touching the material, touching the embroidery, and then putting it down, he checked the hat of the first-class duke, and then he said: "It's so heavy, didn't you change your clothes when you went home just now?" ”
Su Yuzhu said with a smile: "There are also ancestral gods enshrined in the family, and it is good to pay respect." But after saying goodbye, I changed my clothes. ”
Qiao'er smiled: "No wonder, it's hard for you." ”
Su Yuzhu sighed: "Yes, I also admire those old men, yesterday in the Taimiao, when I only stayed for half a day, I felt that I couldn't stand." They have always had strength. ”
Qiao'er was puzzled: "Aren't you Miss Houye?" Can't stand any of this? ”
Su Yuzhu said with a smile: "In the past, my father and mother were in front, and I am a little girl with no official and no lord, except for kneeling behind my father and mother when I receive the holy decree every year, where have I done these things?" Moreover, I have been in the army with my father all the year round, and even the ancestral hall sacrifice has grown to such a big size, and I have only passed through it three times, and I don't have to wear such a heavy body. ”
Qiao'er was also surprised, and stuck out her tongue: "It seems that it is not easy to do anything." Since then, you've been wearing this every day? ”
Su Yuzhu shook his head with a smile: "No, since I am an idle lord, I naturally don't need to go to court often." Besides, I still have to keep filial piety. ”
Qiao'er nodded, carefully folded the clothes and put them on the table, sat on the chair next to the bed, and said, "Can you rest today?" ”
Su Yuzhu nodded and said, "It's all about the big things, I just have two days off, and I will go to my uncle's house to sit on the fifth day of the new year." ”
When Qiao'er heard this, she smiled and said: "It's good to be able to rest, I've been watching my brother in Beijing these days, tsk, I'm also busy, this person invited him to eat and drink today, and that person from Ming'er gave him a post, turning in circles." He wants me to bring you a good one, and when he is free in a few days, he will come and meet us. ”
Su Yuzhu was also very happy when he heard that Shangguan Zizhan was so busy now, and said with a smile: "Well, Brother Shangguan is gaining momentum now, and it is common for people in Beijing to win him over." ”
Qiao'er sighed: "But I'm just afraid, what if someone pulls him to do something bad?" Many people like to worship high and low, and I'm a little afraid. ”
Su Yuzhu didn't expect Qiao'er to have such a heart, and she was also relieved.
However, she believed in Shangguan Zizhan's personality and mind very much, so she smiled and said: "Sister don't worry, Brother Shangguan is a smart person, if my sister is not at ease, wait for the next time Brother Shangguan comes, we will remind him." ”
Qiao'er turned her worries into joy, nodded and smiled: "Okay, listen to you." ”
Su Yuzhu and Qiao'er had a rare leisure at home for two days.
Qu Siying returned home, and Su Yuzhu had already told her that she would not come back until the tenth day of the first month.
Qu Siying was very affectionate, so she really rested at home. However, on the third day of junior high school, he also sent his family and brought Qu Enshan's handwritten letters and a bunch of gifts.
Su Yuzhu smiled and returned letters and gifts.
The days passed in a flash, and on the fifth day of the new year, Su Yuzhu still got up early, and after paying homage to his parents, he was going to go to Meng Langzhong's house.
But I didn't have to wear that big dress today, so it was a lot easier.
Qiao'er, pointing to her face, said with a smile: "I still don't want to go, so as not to scare the child." You help me get this to your nephew. She handed a purse to Su Yuzhu, "I embroidered it myself, and there is a peace charm in it." ”
Su Yuzhu frowned and said, "Sister, let's go together, my aunt specially called you." ”
Qiao'er still shook her head: "I really can't go, I just finished taking the medicine that my wife gave me, and I want to recuperate at home." ”
Su Yuzhu knew that the sore on his face was Qiao'er's concern, and even if he was on Zhuangzi, he usually covered it with a sackcloth.
But even so, Su Yuzhu still felt that Qiao'er's attitude was a little strange.
But Qiao'er didn't want to say it, so Su Yuzhu didn't force it, and comforted a few words like "Shitai will definitely be cured", so he only took Taoli and drove by Qi En to Meng Langzhong's house.
Meng Langzhong's house in Beijing is not big, the courtyard of Sanjin, there is a small garden behind it, there is an ancient tree in it, and the whole courtyard looks simple and heavy from the gate to the hall. The lanterns hanging high in front of the door add a touch of auspicious joy to this simplicity.
Because the house is not big, and only Meng Langzhong and his wife and the newborn Wan An are the masters, and the servants are only a housekeeper, a coachman, a mother-in-law, a nurse, two cooks, a servant, and two girls, so they are quiet on weekdays.
On the third day of the new year today, Meng Langzhong knew that Su Yuzhu was coming, so he invited a colleague from the Tai Academy, and his wife, who is usually good friends with the Cao family, also came, so it was a lot more lively.
Because the colleagues of Meng Lang Zhongtai Academy are a group of old scholars, when they saw Su Yuzhu, there were a few old-fashioned eyebrows that were not eyebrows and noses.
Su Yuzhu knew that these Xu were what Qu Siying told her, and she argued with reason in the court, saying that she was the representative of the "Ji Si Chen" people.
But she doesn't mind, anyway, now that she is here and the national rites are in front of her, are she still afraid of them?
What's more, since you have come to Meng Langzhong, it is not good not to pay attention to hospitality, right?
So, Su Yuzhu sat there quietly, sipping tea, and listening to this group of old gentlemen.
And because Meng Langzhong is the reason for this Enke main exam, the old gentlemen's chatter is also about Enke this time.
"This time, Enke, Your Majesty attaches great importance to it, and Meng Jun is entrusted with this great trust, so he should be extremely cautious." An adult with a gray beard and a surname He said.
Su Yuzhu was already concerned about Enke's affairs, so when he heard them say, he put down the teacup and answered: "That's right, this time Enke, I don't know how many talents can be selected for the imperial court." ”
This Lord He was dissatisfied with Su Yuzhu, so when he heard Su Yuzhu speak, he closed his eyes unhappily, just like the monk who had entered the meditation.
However, the adult next to him, who was slightly younger, had a mustache and a surname Li, smiled kindly at Su Yuzhu: "This time, there are more than 1,000 people in the north and south of the liberal arts examination, and there are fewer people in the martial arts examination, but there are more than 700 people, which can be called a grand event." Speaking of which, every time in the spring festival, these students who take the exam will participate in the poetry meeting in Taizhenin, and if you are interested, you can go and watch. ”
When Su Yuzhu heard the name of Taizhen Temple, he suddenly remembered the Tiansui he met some time ago, and said that it was because of the imperial examination that he went to send a letter to the abbot of Panruo Temple.
At that time, she was still curious about what a imperial examination had to do with monks, but now it sounds like this. (To be continued.) )
