Chapter 256: Before Marriage (1)
After Liu Lu's death, Xu Zigui was very depressed for a while, during which he had a serious illness, and he was in a daze during the illness, always saying that he saw Liu Lu and talked nonsense.
Directly scared the Qin family, I was afraid that the ghost of Liu Lu would not go away, so I invited the master to come and see, and went to Zhengyuan Temple to invite Master Hui'an to come over, but it was not good. Lan Xiang cried with red eyes, and ran to the willow green grave and cried: "I know that you are not worried about the girl, although Zidai has lost her legs, her mind is not bad, there are a few of us to help the girl, you can rest assured, and Xi Qiu is also a good one, the girl has been relying on her more and more in recent days, you can rest assured." ”
After speaking, he burned some banknotes and said: "We have grown up since childhood, and the girl said that even if you betray her, it is irreplaceable by others, and we will not forget you." Just go with confidence. ”
Since then, Xu Zigui's illness has gradually improved.
Mo Ziyuan came to see Mo Ziyuan a few times when Xu Zigui was sick, but he didn't have a good name, and it was inconvenient to come. With a wave of his hand, he sent all the good medicines in the palace to the Weiguo Mansion. I also felt that Xu Zigui was a heart disease, and sent two doctors in this area from the Tai Hospital.
The Queen Mother wanted to go out of the palace to see in person, but she was too old to move. The queen's mother is in the world, and it is inconvenient to go out of the palace at will, so Mo Leyuan replaced the two of them, brought the medicinal materials rewarded by the queen mother and the queen out of the palace, and **** guarded the Weiguo Mansion.
After all, she is a prospective daughter-in-law, and when she heard that Xu Zi was sick, the emperor and Ye also waved some precious medicinal materials.
As soon as the emperor sent it, the concubines in the harem also rewarded the medicinal materials in order to please the emperor.
Time. When he went to the capital, he exploded the pot, and looked at the royal family who took a fancy to Xu Zigui like this. As soon as Xu Zi returned to illness, they all came over to visit the illness as an excuse to have some relationship with the Weiguo Mansion.
Xu Zigui has always been sullen because of Liu Lu's affairs, and he is a little slack in dealing with people, so only when his friends in the boudoir come, he leaks a little smile.
Xu Ziruo was worried, afraid that Xu Zigui would be bored, so he discussed with Mo Leyuan for a long time, so he posted a post and invited Zhou Yining to come over to play.
"How are you so emaciated!" Zhou Yining can be regarded as coming over twice in three days, and this time he saw Xu Zigui a lot more haggard than when he saw him last time. I couldn't help but worry: "You should relax." Otherwise, Liu Lu still can't rest assured. ”
"Yes," Xu Ziruo sighed, while sending water to Xu Zigui, he comforted: "People don't kill the heavens and the earth for themselves." Big sister. If you don't get rid of the willow green. Liulu will inevitably reveal our plan in its entirety, and we will lose at that time. ”
"It's not," Mo Ziyuan also sighed and persuaded: "Gui'er, think about my eldest brother." The eldest brother sits in such a position, and he can't take a wrong step in everything. If you take a wrong step, you will lose everything, and if Liu Lu tells us all about our plan, the eldest brother will definitely die. ”
"It's me who is too selfish," Xu Zigui lowered his head and wept: "I always think that I am happy, and I do what I want according to my own ideas......"
"Don't think about it."
Before Xu Zigui finished speaking, he was interrupted by a warm voice. Xu Zigui looked up when he heard this, and saw that it was Mo Ziyuan coming, and somehow felt a lot relieved for a while.
He said in a hoarse voice, "You're here." ”
Mo Ziyuan nodded lightly, walked quickly to Xu Zigui's side, and tested the temperature on her head: "Why are you so haggard again?" ”
Seeing that Mo Ziyuan was coming, Mo Leyuan gave everyone a look, and bowed and retreated.
After they went out, Xu Zigui took Mo Ziyuan's hand as if he was coquettish
"Why did you come here again? You always run this way, aren't you afraid that outsiders will say that you are too childlike? ”
"Afraid of what?" Mo Ziyuan hugged Xu Zigui into his arms, rubbed her head and smiled: "Isn't your daughter-in-law still a daughter-in-law?" ”
After that, he smiled again: "Wait a few months, and I will be able to see you every day." ”
Xu Zigui knew that he was talking about the two of them getting married in a few months, so he couldn't help blushing: "Then we have to wait a few more months." If you always run to our house like this, the courtiers will say that you are a child...... You ...... too."
"Okay," Mo Ziyuan pinched Xu Zigui's nose, interrupted Xu Zigui's chattering mouth, and said with a smile: "I'm here to discuss the affairs of the court with your father and your brother." Only your father and brother know that I don't mean to be drunk, so I asked me to come and see you first. ”
As soon as Mo Ziyuan said this, Xu Zigui blushed even more, and after a while, his brother came over, and he was afraid that he would have to laugh at him with good intentions.
Xu Zigui heard that he still had important things to do, and hurriedly said: "You go and busy with your own first, my own body knows by myself, it's okay." ”
Mo Ziyuan saw that she was in a good mood today, so he was also relieved, and told her to rest well and not to think too much, so he went to Wei Guogong's side.
It's strange to say, after Mo Ziyuan left, Xu Zigui got better day by day, and his complexion was much rudder.
A few more months passed from then on, to the end of the old calendar. Because this is the last year that Xu Zigui has spent at home, the Weiguo Mansion is extraordinarily festive, and there are lights everywhere, which looks particularly lively.
What's even more lively is that Xu Zigui's only aunt sent a letter from Cangzhou, saying that her niece was getting married and wanted to come from Cangzhou with her uncle.
Mrs. Xu took the letter and her eyes were red with joy: "Since Sister Hui married in Cangzhou at the age of fifteen, I have never seen her again, and I am finally coming back, finally coming back." ”
The second master, the third master, and Wei Guogong were happy because of Mrs. Xu, and they all smiled and echoed Mrs. Xu.
Mrs. Xu couldn't wait to explain to Wei Guogong: "Go and inquire where your sister is, I think I will be able to enter Beijing in a few days." ”
As he spoke, he pulled Xu Zigui and described: "You were only about two or three years old when your aunt got married, and now nearly ten years have passed...... Do you still have an impression of your aunt? ”
In the previous life, when Xu Zigui got married, Xu Zhenghui couldn't come over because the child in the family was seriously ill, but his uncle brought his cousin over. In this life, it seems that his cousin has escaped the catastrophe of illness, and Xu Zigui is also happy for his cousin in his heart, and this son is also happy to cooperate with Mrs. Xu
"I just remember that my aunt likes to play with Gui'er."
Mrs. Xu laughed: "Yes, yes, your aunt has the same temperament as you." The most is that monkey skin loves to play, but I don't know if I am a little more stable now. ”
Qin Shi smiled and said, "Thinking about it, Sister Hui should be a lot more stable." ”
When the Qin family married into the Weiguo Mansion, he and Xu Zhenghui also broke the position, and the two sisters-in-law were very harmonious, and the relationship was not much different from that of Xu Zigui and Pei Yanran.
Mrs. Xu was interested, and she added an extra bowl of rice than usual at dinner. Although Wei Guogong looked happy, he was also worried that the old mother had accumulated food, so he privately ordered someone to serve hawthorn soup for Mrs. Xu to eat.
Xu Zigui's brothers and sisters played with Mrs. Xu for a long time, and then went back to the courtyard.
Four or five days passed since then, and I stayed until Chinese New Year's Eve. It happened that Xu Zhenghui and his aunt arrived at the Weiguo Mansion with a son and a daughter.
Mrs. Xu had been waiting for a long time. When he saw it, he only patted Xu Zhenghui's hand with blurred tears and did not speak.
The uncle was taken to the outer courtyard by Xu Ziyu, the Duke of Weiguo, to recognize each other.
Xu Zhenghui has not seen her mother for a long time, and now she misses it very much, and when she sees Mrs. Xu, she wants to kneel down and bow down. was stopped by Mrs. Xu
"It's weird and tiring all the way. Don't kneel. ”
Xu Zhenghui cried: "My daughter is not filial. Can't **** filial piety by the mother's side. ”
As he spoke, he pulled a son and a daughter over: "Sister Lan, Brother Chun, hurry up and salute my grandmother." ”
Before the two children saluted. was scooped into his arms by Mrs. Xu, screaming heartily.
Xu Zhenghui also happened to see Xu Zigui, as if she was not sure, she took Xu Zigui's hand and looked it up and down
"Gui sister's whereabouts are becoming more and more watery, but do you still remember your aunt?"
Xu Zigui hurriedly gave Xu Zhenghui a blessing, and said with a smile: "Naturally, I won't forget my aunt, and my aunt is still the same as when she left home." ”
In a word, Xu Zhenghui's heart was full of joy, he withdrew the bracelet from his hand and stuffed it to Xu Zigui, and smiled at Qin: "This kid can talk," and said with a smile: "That is, the daughter-in-law of the royal family, otherwise I would have to rob it." ”
Qin Shi said angrily: "It's still the same as when I was a girl, I have no face and no skin, be careful about this pair of children's jokes!" ”
Wang smiled and took Qin's hand and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, look, is Sister Hui still bullying the soft and afraid of the hard as before?" ”
Xu Zhenghui said coquettishly: "Mother, look, the eldest sister-in-law and the third sister-in-law are teaming up to bully me!" ”
Qin shook his head with a smile, and pointed to Xu Ziruo's sisters and introduced them next to each other: "The girls are all here, and the boys will follow his father over and introduce you later." ”
Xu Zhenghui heard that the two sons of the Qin family were out, and hurriedly complimented him, while the Wang family nodded with a look of honor: "The sons of our Xu family are very good." ”
It's just that Zheng's face is not a taste, but it's hard to say anything. Compared with these children, it is her children who are the least angry. Even the children of the Wang family either found a good way out of the imperial examination, or they skillfully liked the queen mother. On the other hand, her children are not angry, just waiting for the group to be shaded.
Xu Zhenghui was already at odds with the Zheng family, and when she saw her expression, she was relieved, but she was much more stable than back then, knowing that this was a festive day for reunion, but it didn't add to anyone's blockage.
After Wei Guogong and his aunt gossiped, they brought a group of sons over, and they recognized each other for a while, and the Qin family took into account their own tired travel, so they arranged for them all to go down to rest.
In the evening, we had a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together, and played cards with Mrs. Xu for a while. According to the old column, the family went out together to drive away the beasts, and after keeping the year, they went back to rest.
The next morning, I got up early in the morning and went to pay my parents' and grandmother's New Year's greetings, and then went to the palace to congratulate them. Because he was about to get married, Xu Zigui couldn't stay in the palace for a long time, so he only paid New Year's greetings to the emperor and the queen mother, and chatted with Mo Leyuan for a while, and then followed his grandmother and mother back to the house.
followed Xu Zi back to the house, as well as the upbringing grandmother of the palace faction.
There are less than two months to get married, and Xu Zigui naturally has a lot to learn.
In the first half of the day, Xu Zigui followed the rules of raising his grandmother, and in the second half of the day, he followed the Qin family to learn housekeeping or embroider wedding dresses alone.
People like Xu Zigui don't have to embroider their own wedding dresses, so it's enough to sew two stitches. It's just that the purse to be sent on the second day has to be embroidered by yourself. Therefore, Xu Zigui has been really busy and a little dizzy these days, and whenever he has free time, he shouts Lan Xiang to massage himself to relax, and occasionally says some childish things in private
"It's better not to accept such a trouble as getting married, how comfortable it is to be a girl for the rest of your life."
That is, it is rumored that it is best for the newlyweds not to see each other for a month before marriage, otherwise they will be unhappy after marriage. That's why Mo Ziyuan didn't climb the window, and Xu Zigui said such a thing boldly with confidence.
It's funny to say, Xu Zigui didn't expect Mo Ziyuan to be a person who would believe in folk rumors, and when he came to see him for the last time, he solemnly said goodbye: "We won't be able to meet for about a month, you should protect yourself in everything." ”
"What is the girl smiling at?" As soon as Xi Qiu came in, he looked at Xu Zigui with a smile on his face: "But what funny thing did you think of?" ”
Xu Zigui raised his head and saw that it was Xi Qiu who came in, the smile on his face did not decrease, and he stretched out his hand to beckon Xi Qiu over: "I was about to ask someone to call you over." ”
"What do you have to tell the girl to find a slave?"
Xu Zigui shook his head with a smile: "There is no arrangement, just ask you if you are willing to enter the palace with me." ”
Xu Zigui married into the palace, and unlike others who married into princes and nobles, he only brought four maids. Xu Zigui is going to bring six maids with him, two first-class, two second-class, and two third-class. It is enough to bring a few other rooms to accompany the room.
Now that Zidai's legs are not good, and she is recognized by the Qin family as a righteous daughter, she can't follow her into the palace, so she can only stay outside the palace to assist herself. As soon as Xu Zigui waited for the maids by his side, only the red-sleeved blue fragrance and Xi Qiu remained.
The first-class maids that Xu Zigui brought into the palace were undoubtedly blue incense and red sleeves, if Xi Qiu was willing to follow him into the palace, he had no choice but to go from the second-class to Xu Zigui to ask so.
Xi Qiu was not ambiguous, Xu Zigui asked, and knelt down: "Thanks to the girl's love, the slave is willing to follow the girl into the palace." ”
Red Sleeves and Lan Xiang are not young, but they have made a promise, and Xi Qiu still has hope of being promoted to the next level.
Apprentice Xi Qiu's heart was clear, Xu Zigui liked her more and more, personally helped her up from the ground, and gossiped a few words with her, and then sent her down. Let her call the warbler song again
"Yingge, your mother is going to follow the second girl into the Fourth Prince's Mansion, are you willing to follow me into the palace?"
Yingge also knew in her heart that with Chunhua and a few of them, Xu Zigui would be a third-class maid even if she brought herself into the palace. However, entering the palace has had a good development, which is better than staying in the palace, and the answer is simple
"The slave is willing."
Xu Zigui smiled and nodded, waved his hand to let Yingge retreat, and had a plan in his heart
The first-class maid brought blue fragrance and red sleeves, the second-class maid brought Xia Mo and Xi Qiu, and the third-class maid brought Yingge and Chunhua.
One step in the palace was poisoned, so Xu Zigui brought two medical skills with him, while Dongxue and Zidai hid outside the mansion to be their right and left hands, and it was not bad to help them pay attention to things outside the palace. As for the companion room...... At that time, the Qin family and Mrs. Xu will reward themselves, but it is not that they should be worried.
In this way, it can be regarded as a good arrangement. (To be continued.) )
