Chapter 44: Jealousy
June 19, the day of the enlightenment of Guanyin Dashi.
From the nobles in the palace to the common people of Limin, almost all of them are surnamed Bodhisattvas, and they are rarely allowed to go up the mountain to incense.
Mrs. Xia was also going to go, but she was tired in the past few days, and she couldn't stand the crowds in the temple, so she didn't go out, but only kowtowed in the small Buddha hall.
Du Mansion has been lucky these days, and Du Gongfu will enter the East Palace after lunch every day, and only return to the house before the palace gate is keyed.
After a few days in a row, everyone saw some fame.
In the wing room of the temple, the official eunuchs and relatives who met rarely mentioned the name of "Du Yunluo" in their words.
There is no shortage of people in the world who see the wind and steer the rudder.
Du Huaiping, who only wanders around the mall, has a feeling of raising his eyebrows these days.
Miao took the teacup and said to him, "The old lady just sent a message back, and he stayed in the palace today, and he won't come back to use it." ”
"Isn't that great?" Du Huaiping raised his eyebrows, "If you want me to say, my father is outstanding in learning, and when he was the crown prince, he was also diligent and diligent, and even the saint praised him, if it wasn't for my father's accidental injury to his leg and his mobility was inconvenient, how could he leave office early?" If you are still an official in the court, hum! Maybe it's already ranked in the third public. ”
After all, it is the inner courtyard of his own house, and he doesn't have to be afraid of outsiders listening to his speech, so Miao swallowed the words "not ashamed", and said: "The internal situation, we have a clear conscience, but the outside is ......."
What to say outside, Du Huaiping walked outside all day, and he knew best.
What I turned over and over again was a few sentences like "selling women for glory", which was sour and extremely mean, and I almost wrote envy, jealousy and hatred on my face.
"We can't guard other people's mouths," Du Huaiping waved his hand, not taking it to heart at all, "Anyway, it doesn't hurt, and it's not like saying this about our Du family in front of me."
Which of the business children of some of the eunuchs with whom I interacted was a good match? In the past, after seeing my father step down, the Du family was not as good as a year, and there was no less music in front of me on weekdays, but now it's okay, Yunluo is married, and the old lady went to the East Palace for a few days in a row, and now when he sees me, he has to be a man with his tail between his legs.
What kind of ivory can those dogs' mouths spit out from the ground?
I don't want to listen to it! But what can be done? I just like to see them scolding us to death in their hearts, but they can only compliment me in person. ”
Miao saw that her husband was triumphant, so she was not disappointed.
In all fairness, the marriage was decided by the old lady and the old lady, although they also had the idea of relying on the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion to go further, but there was no intention of selling a girl for glory.
Du Yunluo was the tip of the second elder's heart, and she refused to teach her the slightest grievance.
sold Du Yunluo, Miao's 10,000 don't believe it, if it is Du Yunying or Du Yunnuo, maybe it will be.
Miao Shi thought about it like this, and felt a little uncomfortable, so he pulled the pu fan in the maid's hand and fanned it hard: "It's too hot this day, it's better to let the old lady and the old lady go to Zhuangzi as soon as possible, there are fewer masters in the house, and the use of this ice can be more generous." ”
Miao made up his mind, and mentioned it to Mrs. Xia early the next morning: "Xingye Zhuangzi, everything is finished, and if the old lady wants to leave, she can do it at any time." ”
Old Mrs. Xia's face was overjoyed, she turned her eyes to look at the bird cage hanging in the corner, and slowly shook her head: "It's good to say before, but now the old lady is not empty, and this matter of going out of Beijing is still under consideration." ”
Miao was stunned for a moment, knowing that Du Gongfu's affairs were the most important, so he said, "Then the daughter-in-law should draw some more silver and buy more ice." ”
Du Yunluo's hands kept getting needlework, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but bend.
I was thinking about what excuse I wanted to refuse to go up the mountain with Mrs. Xia, but now, it has been solved.
It's July.
Du Gongfu was old in the East Palace, his legs and feet were not good, and there were many heavy rains after the summer rain, so he only asked him to enter the palace every once in a while.
Du Gongfu worked hard for more than half a month, and he couldn't be idle for a while, and he couldn't guide the emperor's grandson, so he grabbed Du Yunlang and Du Yunlan's homework.
Although Du Yunlang and Du Yunlan's homework is not bad, it is not outstanding, and Du Gongfu can't help but miss Du Yundi.
"When will Yun Di return home?" Du Gongfu asked Du Yunluo with a smile.
Du Yunluo said with a smile: "The previous letter said that I would return home in the middle of the month, live for half a month, and then go to the academy. ”
Du Gongfu went to see Miao again.
Miao hurriedly said: "Don't worry, old lady, the front yard has been decorated, and it doesn't matter when Yun Di comes back." The third brother and sister are careful people, so they went to see the mother-in-law twice, and they made sure that everything was ready. ”
Du Gongfu was satisfied.
Miao smiled, but was a little annoyed in his heart.
Her daughter can't compare to Du Yunluo, and even her son is a head lower than Du Yundi, although she has been used to it for more than ten years, but in the end she is a little uneasy.
"Yunluo," Miao said, seeing Du Yunluo raising her eyes to look at her, she said, "It will be Qixi Festival in a few days, and you should not be negligent on such an important day." Have you figured out what kind of melon to carve? What kind of melons and fruits do you want, tell Uncle Niang earlier, and Uncle Niang will prepare them for you. ”
Speaking of Qixi Festival, Mrs. Xia woke up and said solemnly: "This is an important matter, you are in your first year, you must not be sloppy." ”
On the Qixi Daughter's Day, begging for the moon is the thing that the little ladies are looking forward to the most.
And for the girl who promised others, she also had to carve the gourd and send it to her mother-in-law's house to show her ingenuity.
Especially in the first year after the small set.
In her previous life, Du Yunluo only let go of Xiaoding in the autumn, and waited until the second year of Qixi to count the first year.
At that time, because of her temper in her heart, she carved extremely casually, and when she heard Mu Lianxiao mention it after marriage, she knew that Zhen's anger she couldn't take the things she carved at all, so she quietly asked people to change them.
This time, she wouldn't act like that.
But what exactly do you want to carve......
Du Yunluo's eyes wandered around the room, skimming the flower stand in the corner, and there was a large pot with celadon painted koi playing in the water, which raised a few leaves of water lotus, verdant as a leaf, her heart moved, and suddenly remembered the Dragon Boat Festival.
Du Yunlan said that on the dragon boat on the lake that day, the image of Mu Lianxiao, who was standing on the top drum on the top layer, suddenly came to mind, and he obviously didn't see it with his own eyes, but when he thought about it at the moment, it was so vivid, as if all the handsome and handsome people came to his face.
Let's carve this, compared to the flowers and birds, it can express her thoughts more.
Du Yunluo made up her mind, and said with a smile: "Grandmother, aunt, I have already thought about it, and I will definitely carve a good one and send it to the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion." ”
Seeing that Du Yunluo was confident, Mrs. Xia was a lot more relieved: "You girl, the kung fu of carving melons is good, but you need to ask Yun Ying for advice, she fried it vividly, yours, you can't even see the shape, it's a loss, just send the melon, if you send the melon, it will be a big shame." ”
Miao listened to Mrs. Xia's praise of Du Yunying, and she was overjoyed for a while, and said modestly: "Old lady, the ruler is short and the inch is long, and each has its own merits." ”
