Chapter Ninety-Five: Gossip

After Qi Buchen returned home, he went to the main courtyard to see his mother. ◢ Sui ◢ Dream ◢ Xiao ◢ said Щщш.suimeng.lā The maid at the door saw her coming, and hurriedly lifted the green door veil and said with a smile: "Da Gege is here, Mrs. is talking to Mrs. Shu Mulu inside."

Qi Buchen nodded as a greeting, and asked before entering the room, "Auntie, is there anything important to discuss with my mother?"

"It's nothing, Mrs. Peng Chun only said it was gossip when she came. And I've been talking about it for an hour. Gege wants me to report it? Yahuan replied.

Qi Buchen nodded, and Yahuan went in to report. Then come out is the Nalan clan to send the Shu Mulu clan. Qi Buchen saw that he was busy asking for peace, and Shu Mulu pulled Qi Buchen with a smile and said: "My niece has been outstanding since she was a child, and now she is even more extraordinary. There will be a good future in the future. ”

"Aunt lifted." Qi Buchen said lightly.

Shu Mulu smiled sharply and interrupted: "What are you polite to me, my aunt can treat you as her own daughter."

Qi Buchen looked at the Eniang on Shu Mulu's side and just smiled on his face, so he also smiled. After sending Shu Mulu out of the house, the mother and daughter returned to the house, Qi Buchen looked at Eniang's face and asked softly, "Eniang, what's the matter?"

Nalan pursed the corners of his mouth and reached out to touch Qi Buchen's head.

"Auntie mentioned my marriage?" Qi Buchen asked.

Nalan sighed almost inaudibly, nodded, and said, "Listen to your aunt, you may marry the prince."

Qi Buchen shook his head and said, "Eniang, I don't know how there is such grace. Didn't the clan sister marry the third elder brother last time? How is it possible that a family member has been elected as the prince of Fujin? ”

"Yes." The Nalan clan calmed down, and said with a smile: "I heard that your aunt said that there are several children of the prince's clan who want to marry this time, and I heard that the Tatara family you went to today may have a future Wufujin."

"Oh, my daughter thinks it might be true." Qi Buchen remembered the little girl who came in in a hurry in his Tara Mansion and said.

The mother and daughter chatted for a while, and then Qi Buchen walked out of the main room and returned to his courtyard, thinking of his marriage, Qi Buchen sighed.

After the mighty squad of the Western Expedition returned to the court, the general Feiyangu successfully completed the work of strangling the remaining bandits assigned to him by Kangxi. General Peng Chun also returned to his hometown with honor, and by the way, he also paid off the sin of the last Western Expedition, and Peng Chun's mansion was jubilant, but Peng Chun's health seemed to have been worn out by his long-term war career, and he began a long period of recuperation since he came back, and there were more and more private conversations with Qi Shi. And on the eve of Kangxi's triumphant return, dividends, meritorious rewards, and red line finger marriage, the entertainment gossip circle in Beijing also divided some pages for the Dong E family: for example, the prince Peng Chun is afraid that he will continue to increase his favor, and then the Qi Shidu will be assigned a heavy task, and the rumors that Qi Buchen is going to marry the prince or the children of the clan are annoying.

Early that morning, the two sisters, Qi Buchen and Hajilan, dressed up and went to the main room to see Nalan together, and soon the mother and daughter went to the palace with their servants. Yesterday, the Empress Dowager asked the eunuch to summon the mother and daughter today, and with the recent frequent summoning of the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager in the palace to show the girls, Nalan and Qi Buchen were very worried about seeing the Empress Dowager this time.

Entering Ningshou Palace, the mother and daughter visited the Queen Mother according to the ceremony, and were given a seat, and after Hajilan bowed, he sat on the side like a porcelain doll and watched Eniang and her sister chatting with the Queen Mother, and felt a little tired of walking.

"Miss Chen, come over and let the mourning family take a look." The Queen Mother said kindly.

Qi Buchen went over as he said, and the Queen Mother dragged Qi Buchen like a kind and loving grandmother who likes children, looked at it, chatted and chatted, and then looked at Qi Buchen's cheongsam and nodded: "Well, this child is blessed when he looks at it." It's just that this dress is too plain and doesn't dress people. After the queen mother criticized Qi Buchen's plain cheongsam for burying talents, she turned her head to an aunt and said: "Tuyaer, the mourning family remembers that we have a set of newly made cheongsams here, so the girl's family wears it just right, and it is for nothing to put here for us, you go and get it."

Then a tall and thin aunt said yes, the queen mother smiled and suddenly looked at Hajilan, who was about to be forgotten by herself, and said: "Lan girl, you also come over and let the mourning family take a look."

So Hajran, who had been sitting in a daze, suddenly became energetic, not excited, but frightened. Niu Tingting got up, and showed the good foundation laid in the past few years in a period of time, standing upright a few steps away from the queen mother, leading the right foot later, bending forward on both knees, half squatting, and holding both hands on the knees.

"Well, I just like it when I look at the child!" The Queen Mother smiled and said how she was dressed.

When Hajilan heard this, he smiled and said to the Queen Mother: "Lan'er also likes the Queen Mother." Listening to the teachings of the Queen Mother, everything she said is really reasonable, so that Lan'er is convinced, and she will live up to her guidance in the future and be a well-deserved lady. Alas, it would be nice if she always stayed by the side of the Queen Mother, like the Queen Mother, she would definitely influence the people around her like a spring breeze, and Lan'er really wanted to be more influenced by the Queen Mother. ”

The queen mother was happy when she heard the last words: "How familiar does this sound to the mourning family."

Another aunt on the side reminded with a smile: "Queen Mother, didn't Brother Jiu say the same thing yesterday."

"But isn't it," in the end it was his grandson, and the queen mother was so happy that her face was like a flower: "Those boys, one mouth is more sweet than the other."

After Qi Buchen and Hajlan retreated, Aunt Tuyar also came out with a tray with red lotus patterns, on which was a silver-red cheongsam, and although the silk pattern on it was only a corner, it could be guessed that it was a phoenix wearing a peony. The queen mother smiled again and took it over without comparing the amount and said to Qi Buchen: "Girl, go back and put this one on, the girl's family should dress more festively."

After Qi Buchen thanked him, he was dragged by the Queen Mother to ask questions. The queen mother is looking for someone to chat without paying, and the mother and daughter sitting below have been wondering the reason for the queen mother's summons, and gradually the queen mother began to praise several brothers who went out with Kangxi this time, among which occasionally the name of Le Qin appeared, and the seven elder brothers of the Sunu family who came to the house to meet Qi Shi from time to time recently, the three mother and daughter of the Nalan family are still very impressed.

Finally, the queen mother was tired of talking, and the three mothers and daughters of the Nalan family bowed and retired from the palace.

After the mother and daughter of the Nalan clan left the palace, the other palace maids and eunuchs were also waved down by the queen mother. Only Aunt Tujar was left standing in front of her.

"Tujar."

"The slave is here."

"When the fifth elder brother goes back to ask for peace after class, let the imperial dining room prepare some snacks that he likes to eat."

"Yes." Tujar replied and asked: "Is the Yuhui girl from his Tara family that the Queen Mother saw yesterday going to be pointed out to the fifth elder brother?"

"That Yuhui girl looks outstanding, but she has the taste of a bodhisattva's treasure, and she also knows that there is a bookish atmosphere in the bookish ceremony, and it is suitable to be a royal daughter-in-law." The Queen Mother nodded and said.

"Queen Mother, the slave maid heard that Brother Leqin knelt down and begged the Lord of Long Live to point out Qi Buchen to him?" Tual said curiously.

"Well, there's such a thing. Isn't the mourning family looking good today! When people are old, they like to gossip, haha. The Queen Mother smiled.

"Forgive the slave maid for saying a lot of words, and the slave maid sees that this girl looks clear, has a straight nose, plump ears, red lips and white teeth, and is a prosperous man. Besides, this girl is only a teenager, and she is usually a talented girl, but she is rare and beautiful in needlework, and she is a resilient person. After speaking, he took out a two-inch square purse, and there were only two kittens on the crescent-white silk, which were particularly vivid, "This is what the slave maid asked her to ask for, and she embroidered it herself." ”

"Look, you're just as gossip as the mourners! This naughty one refuses to even pick an elegant one. The queen mother said this, took the purse and looked at it carefully: "This needle method is sparse but not dense, divergent but not combined, live but not sluggish, the girl uses such a spirit to apply the needle, it is difficult."

Tujar saw that the Queen Mother was very interested, so she accompanied and said: "The Queen Mother is really good-looking, the embroiderers in our palace are all first-class, and the embroidery work is also exquisite.

"Their family is very upbringing to their daughter, you can go down too, and the mourning family will rest for a while." The Queen Mother said with a yawn.
