The Dragon Boat Festival of the Great Xia Dynasty has always been a big festival, as long as the body allows, almost every year on the Dragon Boat Festival, Emperor Chengde will take the harem concubines out of the palace to have fun with the people.

This year's Dragon Boat Festival is no exception, after throwing the new law to the cabinet and the Ministry of Households, Emperor Chengde began to ponder this year's Dragon Boat Festival.

There is a Jiujiang River in Shangjing City, which has always been the venue for the Dragon Boat Festival Dragon Boat Race, when Emperor Chengde said in the court that he would continue to go to Jiujiang to watch the battle this year, according to the previous position, each family has set up a pergola in its own position.

The pergola of the Shu family used to be in the middle of the Jiujiang River, and this year the Shu family has not yet begun to make people build pergolas, so they have been summoned by the eunuchs in the palace to let the Shu family build the pergola in the upper section, next to the Zhou family.

When Shu Yanhua knew, she just sighed that after her brother won the top prize in high school in his last life, he was in Hanlin Academy, and he didn't know the difference in this life, so he actually became a member of the middle school, and even the shed of the Shu family could be next to the Zhou family.

Thinking of the last time I saw Emperor Chengde, and thinking of my brother's natural and leisurely relationship by His Majesty's side, Shu Yanhua only wished that Emperor Chengde would be in good health, as long as he lived a long life, his brother would definitely rise to the top.

To say that the Shu family is the happiest, except for Shu Yanhua, it is the Guan family. This is a big face, or His Majesty Jinkou Yuyan asked the eunuchs in the palace to personally order, so happy that after the eunuchs left, the Guan family immediately asked the Mei family to discuss, and made two new sets of summer shirts for the master of the family, which is bound to make the Shu family glamorous among the powerful.

Mei's is also gearing up, and he doesn't dislike Guan's troubles, and his interest is also high, and he is extremely careful in choosing clothes for Yu'er and Wen'er, and even Jiang's is also abnormal, and he is also very careful in choosing clothes for her husband and son.

Around the pergola of the Guy Shu family, there is either the world-famous Zhou Chonglan Zhou Da Confucian, or the first assistant of the cabinet, the Chu family, the second assistant Yang family, and even according to the location, separated from the Chu family, is the prince's mansion that has been built out of the palace, and then is the viewing platform where Emperor Chengde and the harem concubines are located.

Thinking that I could use this to get to know Mrs. Chu Xiang, Mrs. Cifu, and even the princess, the Guan family, the Mei family, and even the indifferent Jiang family couldn't calm down.

In case you can still be summoned by the queen mother and others......

The three hostesses of the Hou Mansion chose the clothes even more carefully, and Mei even asked the shopkeeper of Jin Yutang to bring the most fashionable jewelry to the Hou Mansion, and chose two sets for herself and Shu Yanyu.

Mei's is known as a virtuous person, and she bought four sets of jewelry for herself and Shu Yanyu, so naturally she will not favor one over the other, two sets of filial piety to the Guan family, two sets of the Jiang family, two sets of Shu Yanhua, and Shu Yanqiao is a concubine, and there is also one set.

Although Shu Yanhua's jewelry is so large that there are two special booklets for registration, she is not polite to Mei's, anyway, she uses the silver in the gongzhong, which is equivalent to spending Shu Xiuhe's silver, so she doesn't feel distressed, and she buys jewelry with many gems and good craftsmanship, and Mei's cheeks twitch.

On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, a carriage from the Guan family, a carriage from the Mei family and the Jiang family, and a carriage from the three sisters Shu Yanhua.

The Shu family set off at noon, when they came to their own pergola, it was almost untimed, Jiujiang was crowded, along the river were the sound of small stalls selling, the most people were around, it was a small stall selling crispy Luo, ten cents a small bowl, quenching the heat and quenching thirst, and the people in Beijing could afford to eat.

There are also Yue Chonglou, Yanchun Lou and other big restaurants will not let go of this opportunity to make money, the powerful go out, they will not prepare more snacks, at most they bring some pastries, if they see the dragon boat interested, they will also want to eat some snacks, this is the opportunity for them to make money in these restaurants.

The dragon boat race has been held for many years, and the Jingfu Yin and the Wumen Admiral in Beijing have experience, and after the Shu family's carriage sent the master into their own pergola, there were messengers who came over and politely let the Shu family's carriage and horses go to the designated place to store, and when it was time to leave, they were driven to pick up the master.

The Shu family came early, and the surrounding pergolas have not yet arrived from the master's house, only the housekeepers of each family are guarding with their subordinates, waiting for the master to come and serve.

Guan and the others also let their respective maids tidy up their appearances on the carriage, got out of the carriage, and the maids around them served the master neatly, and there was a screen in the pergola, Shu Xiuhe and Shu Ershu took Shu Hongbo and others to sit on the other side of the screen and drink tea.

There is a tulle hanging down at the door of the pergola, and the shadow is so thick that it is not clear to see the inside from the outside, but it is clear to see it from the inside.

Except for Shu Hongxuan, the master of the Shu family is here, Shu Hongxuan was summoned to the palace early in the morning, and he came to Jiujiang with Emperor Chengde.

Mother Chen whispered in Mei's ear, "Madam, Mrs. Mei is here with Miss Jingting." ”

Mei Shi hurriedly stood up, walked to Guan's side and said, "Mother, my mother's family knows that you are coming, and my mother's sister-in-law has brought her niece to visit you." ”

Guan was surprised at first, and after being surprised, a sense of pride suddenly rose in her chest, in previous years, she used the name of Mei's mother-in-law to go to the Mei family's side, so as to get to know your lady, but also to let the Shu family be familiar with your lady, but this year it was the Mei family who came to the door first.

If it is really feng shui in turn, this year to Shu's house.

Guan Shi tried hard to suppress the pride on his face, trying his best to make himself look light, "The eldest lady of the in-laws is here?" Come in, please. ”

Mei's fingers tightened, and there was no clue on her face, and she turned around and instructed Chen's mother, "Quickly invite sister-in-law in." ”

The tulle at the entrance of the pergola was lifted, and a lady walked in first.

She was wearing a gown with an autumn-scented gourd double blessing, an indigo blue eight-piece Hunan skirt, and a hairpin with five bats holding clouds on her head, which not only lined her clothes, but also responded to the scene of the Dragon Boat Festival.

She walked unhurriedly, with a faint smile on her face, a goose egg face, distant mountain eyebrows, fair and ruddy skin, and no fine lines could be seen, which showed that she usually lived a rich life and had no worries, standing beside Mei's, she looked a little younger than Mei's.

Mrs. Mei gave a salute to the Guan family who was sitting at the top, "I haven't seen the old lady for more than half a month, and the old lady looks much younger than before." ”

Guan scolded with a smile: "Ouch, it's strange that Mrs. Dao's family loves you so much, this mouth is so sweet, please sit down." ”

Mrs. May sat down in the seat on the lower head of the right side of the Guan.

Mei Jingting, who was behind Mrs. Mei, also stepped forward to salute, standing beside her mother with a smile, not talking much.

Guan beckoned, let Mei Jingting step forward, took her hand and looked at her carefully, wearing a pale yellow piping white background printed placket, goose yellow skirt, combing the fallen cloud bun on her head, inserting a tortoiseshell moire hanging bead step sway, and a few small bead flowers with fake and real ones inserted in the bun, refreshing and refreshing, looking comfortable on a hot summer day.

Guan secretly raised her eyebrows, Mei Jingting was obviously carefully dressed up, pursed her lips, only when the corner of Guan's eyes swept over Shu Yanhua, she was in a comfortable mood, although she didn't like Shu Yanhua very much, but at this moment, she felt that Shu Yanhua could give Shu's family face.

No matter how carefully Mei Jingting dressed up, as soon as she stood beside Shu Yanhua, she was pressed down.

Guan smiled kindly, "Why did the eldest lady of the in-laws bring Jingting over?" ”

It was originally a very normal question, but unfortunately the arrogance in Guan's tone was still not suppressed, and it was slightly vented, except for Shu Yanyu, who was happy to see her cousin and aunt, the other female relatives heard it.

Shu Yanhua said in her heart: Guan's temperament is still the same as always, he has been widowed for many years, and he has always wanted to glorify the court, and now that the Shu family has dignity, people are starting to be proud.

What a face-loving old lady. (To be continued.) )
