Chapter 43: The East Palace

In the summer, it was hot and hot, but only six or seven days later, and the weather was very different from before.

Although it was also a thunderstorm, it still couldn't sweep away the heat, and Mrs. Xia couldn't stay up, so an ice basin was placed in Lianfu Garden early.

The Miao family will plan, and they are familiar with the climate of the capital, and it is so hot in the middle of June, and I am afraid that it will not be easy to survive the next two or three months.

Du Fuli stored a lot of ice in the winter, and the Miao family hurriedly went outside to buy some more, but in the end he still didn't dare to let go of his hands and feet, and only added it to the Lotus Fuyuan, and endured it everywhere first.

Liao's heat is choking enough, and she doesn't talk about Miao's childishness behind her back, but in front of Mrs. Xia, she doesn't dare to complain, after all, she also knows in her heart that if she doesn't plan carefully, she really won't be able to find ice in August, but I'm afraid that she won't be able to find ice even if she is holding a silver ingot.

It was cooler in Lianfu Garden, so Mrs. Xia summoned all the girls to avoid them from being offended.

Du Yunluo and Du Yunru sat by the window, biting their ears while parting the embroidery thread.

Du Yunying chatted for a while, and also leaned over to say a few words.

The rest of Du Yunnuo is one, she knows that for the sake of the previous few events, the sisters don't say anything, they are annoyed with her in their hearts, and they don't go over to stick to people's cold faces, and accompany Du Gongfu to tease Ya'er.

The sound of the little bell was crisp, and the sprout's mung bean-like eyes were staring straight at it, and it couldn't stop chirping.

Old Mrs. Xia closed her eyes and said impatiently: "What are you still teasing it on such a hot day?" The more you scream, the more annoying it gets. ”

Du Gongfu shook the bell in his hand: "The heart is calm and naturally cool." If you don't worry about it, you will naturally be comfortable. ”

Mrs. Xia held her breath in her throat, is this her love for blindness? There are so many boys and girls at the bottom, what if she doesn't worry about it? Also learn from Du Gongfu to be a hands-off shopkeeper and play with birds all day long?

Mrs. Xia opened her mouth, and in front of several girls, she didn't choke with Du Gongfu, and swallowed all the words.

Miao opened the curtain and came in, and after all the salutes, he said: "Old lady, old lady, this morning, Zhuangzi sent some fresh melons and fruits, and my daughter-in-law asked people to calm down in the well, and they were taken to relieve the heat in a while." The daughter-in-law thought, if it is still so hot in July and August, why don't the old lady and the old lady go to live in Zhuangzi for a while? Outside the city, Xingye Zhuangzi was renovated a few years ago, and the daughter-in-law asked someone to clean it up. ”

These words made Mrs. Xia's heart moved.

Xingye Zhuangzi is her dowry Zhuangzi, just on the mountain outside the city, originally did not want it to produce, what he liked was the pleasant scenery, warm in winter and cool in summer.

"It makes sense, let people go in advance, and if you are in a hurry when the time comes, even if you don't go, it doesn't matter." Old Lady Xia commanded.

Du Gongfu snorted: "Blind toss!" ”

Miao hung his head, but he didn't hear it, and it was good that Mrs. Xia should go.

Du Yunluo listened to them and somewhat remembered some of the past.

This summer was so hot.

Mrs. Xia had already decided to go to Zhuangzi to escape the summer, and planned to wait for Du Yunru to leave the cabinet before returning to Beijing.

Du Gongfu and Mrs. Xia were annoyed by Du Yunluo, so they didn't take anyone from the second room, and only took Du Yunying and Du Yunnuo to the mountain.

After living for more than half a month, Du Yunluo fell into the water in the temple, and the two old men hurried back to the capital.

This time......

Old Lady Xia will definitely call her.

Du Yunluo didn't want to go to Zhuangzi with him.

Living in Zhuangzi, how could she accompany Zhen and Du Yundi to Fayin Temple to offer incense?

How did you meet Mu Lianxiao?

If you miss it, you don't know yet......

"If you're not careful, you're going to tie the knot." Du Yunru gently patted Du Yunluo's hand.

Du Yunluo came back to her senses, looked down at the thread in her hand, and if it was really going to be broken, she hurriedly remedied it.

There was a sound of footsteps outside, and the people hurriedly entered the east room, Du Yunluo only felt a rush of enthusiasm, and looked at it, it was the mother-in-law of Zhao in charge of the matter, that is, the mother-in-law who begged for Jinling in the previous life

When Du Yunluo saw her, she was suspicious in her heart, why did the Zhao family come here in a hurry?

Old Mrs. Xia frowned, Mama Xu understood, raised her eyes and saw that the Zhao family was covered with sweat, and she couldn't say anything serious, so she only said lightly: "Zhao family, don't you know the rules in the old lady's house?" ”

The Zhao family hurriedly took out the handkerchief, turned around, wiped it on his face, and turned around with a smile: "The slave and maid know that this is a broken rule, but the matter is urgent, and the slave and maid can't find the second wife for a while, so they rushed to Lianfuyuan." ”

Mama Xu bowed her head and motioned for the Zhao family to continue.

The Zhao family looked at Du Gongfu and said: "The porter came up to report, saying that the sedan chair in the East Palace has entered the mansion and is waiting outside the second gate, and His Royal Highness the Prince invites the old lady to enter the palace." ”

Du Gongfu's hand trembled slightly, the bell in his hand rang together, and he looked straight at the Zhao family: "Your Highness's sedan chair?" Not mistaken? ”

The Zhao family nodded violently: "Old lady, no matter how confused we are in the gatehouse, we will not recognize the wrong pair of cards in the East Palace." Besides, it's Gonggong Cao next to the prince who comes to pick you up, who doesn't know you. ”

Before Du Gongfu could react, Mrs. Xia had already sat up and urged the maids: "Why don't you wait for the old lady to change her clothes!" ”

Lianfu Yuan was instantly busy.

Du Gongfu has been out of office for many years, and there is no official uniform to wear, so Mama Xu turned out a new set of robes, and asked Lanzhi to prepare a soft sedan chair at the gate of the courtyard.

At this moment, a few girls will not come over to make trouble.

Du Yunying was stunned and said to her sisters: "Good and decent, why did His Royal Highness invite his grandfather into the palace?" After my grandfather stepped down, except for the first year or two, he never entered the palace, right? ”

Du Yunluo was also confused.

In his previous life, Du Gongfu didn't have any dealings with the East Palace until he died of old age, so how could he ...... this time

But she believes that the porter will not admit his mistake.

Du Gongfu has served as the crown prince for many years, although he has stepped down, but the porter will never recognize the pair of cards in the East Palace, and Gonggong Cao is a celebrity around His Royal Highness.

Du Gongfu was apprehensive, but he didn't dare to delay, got on the soft sedan chair with a cane, and went all the way to the second gate.

Miao had already received the letter and sent it to the second gate.

Du Gongfu and Cao Gonggong saw each other and asked a few questions tentatively.

Father-in-law Cao didn't hide it from him, and said: "I'm not afraid of the old man's jokes when I say it, a while ago, Long Live Lord took the school school grandson's homework, and he wasn't very satisfied, the prince explained that the grandson was young and couldn't contain his heart, but Long Live Lord said, when the prince and the imperial grandson were as old, the old man disciplined him very well." Long live the lord said, let the old man take the time to take care of the imperial grandson. ”

Du Gongfu was surprised and frightened, and saluted again and again, and he couldn't help but be grateful to the saint and the prince.

Miao heard it well in the lotus gate, and covered his mouth with a handkerchief, but he couldn't hide the smile in his eyes.

After Du Gongfu left, the Miao family rushed to the Lianfu Garden, and smiled: "Old lady, let our old lady go to the East Palace, that's what Long Live Lord means, Long Live Lord is still thinking about the old lady!" ”

"What's going on? Tell me more about it. Mrs. Xia said eagerly.

Miao said the 1510 that he overheard, and he was so happy that Mrs. Xia stroked his palm.

"Prepare incense and candles, wait for the old lady to come back, go to the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors, long live the old lady so elevated, that is, the old lady can no longer be an official, let a few brothers, and the career will be wider." Mrs. Xia said.

Miao responded with a smile and couldn't help but look at Du Yunying.

As long as Du Gongfu can often enter and leave the East Palace in the future, Du Yunying's future, where will she worry.
