Chapter 184: Promotion

Rong Zheng went to the study and hurriedly wrote a letter to his father, asking about Shangjing. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Mu Xuan came over and said hello to Rong Zheng.

"It doesn't matter if they come to the capital, you will have one more place to walk around in the future. You can also go back to your parents' house at any time. ”

Rong Zheng didn't like Ma's mother and daughter, and bowed his head and said: "It doesn't matter if they come or not, let me help find a house here, I'm not familiar with the capital, where to find it." Why don't they ask the eldest aunt. Their family has been in the capital for all these years, don't they know better than me? Just a mouth will say, let me help buy a house, but the money can't see a penny, it seems that I made up my mind to pay for it myself. She's embarrassed. ”

Mu Xuan was very cute when she listened to Rong Zheng's chatter, and she couldn't bear to interrupt her.

"If you don't want to, just say no, just say that we just came here and don't know each other well."

Rong Zheng said: "That's it." "She doesn't want to help.

"Do you have a place you'd like to go?" Mu Xuan grabbed Rong Zheng's shoulders from behind.

"Where are you going?"

"I ask you, if you want to go somewhere, I can accompany you for the next two days. Otherwise, there may not be much chance later. ”

Rong Zheng lowered his head and thought about it, and said with a smile: "I want to go to Baiyun Nunnery to make incense, do you want to accompany me?" ”

"Cheng, you can do it wherever you go. I'm with you. ”

When she went to her uncle's house before, the eldest aunt once mentioned to her that the goddess of mercy in Baiyun Nunnery was very effective, and she wanted to go to worship. It is said that Rong Di has not been pregnant since he got married, and he was happy not long after he went to Baiyun Nunnery to have incense. She really wants to add another brother to Sister Yuan, a child is still too lonely after all.

Baiyun Nunnery is on the East Mountain, and there are many temples in that area. The most famous is the Jokhang Temple. The Jokhang Temple is a royal temple, as famous as the Great Xiangguo Temple in Bianliang. Baiyun Temple is not so prominent in Yigan Temple, but the incense has always been good. It was because of the rumors that the goddess of mercy had been sent to the capital, so that the women who wanted to ask for a child in the capital flocked to it.

Mu Xuan accompanied Rong Zheng out of the house and did not bring Sister Yuan out. First, I was afraid that there would be too many people crowding Sister Yuan, and secondly, I was afraid that the incense would smoke her, and I was afraid that the firecrackers would startle her.

Mu Xuan pulled the indigo blue robe, shook the folding fan with one hand, completely like a handsome scholar, elegant and elegant, where can he see that he is a ruthless corner who kills the enemy, he asked with a smile: "I heard Fucui say that you sold your dowry?" ”

Rong Zheng smiled: "She told you right away." ”

"What do we do after selling, we don't lack those few money in our hands."

Rong Zheng said: "There are several Zhuangzi houses that I want to manage, and I am afraid that I will not be able to take care of them." These two places are not eye-catching, so I want to dispose of them. I also thought that since I would be in the capital in the future, it would be better to buy some land near the suburbs of Beijing. With Zhuangzi, it is good to take your children to go to spring in the future. ”

Mu Xuan shook his head and said, "Do you know how expensive the fields on the outskirts of Beijing are? Besides, sometimes you don't have to be able to buy it if you have money. The good land has long been occupied by the royal magnates. ”

Rong Zheng smiled: "We are also a clan, what are we afraid of." I didn't say I was going to buy it now, so I saved the money first. Wait until you have the right one before purchasing. I always have to earn some property for Sister Yuan, and add her as a dowry in the future. ”

"You think too far, how old is Sister Yuan." Mu Xuan doesn't know how to operate, the lady is willing to worry about this, he can just go to do other things.

"Slowly accumulate. Anyway, I won't treat her badly in the future. ”

"You are in charge, you are in charge, and I will listen to you." Mu Xuan took Rong Zheng's hand as she spoke, glanced at her blue treasure earrings, and said, "I know that you are very envious of King Wu's other courtyard, which is really different. After three or five years, maybe we can have one of our own. ”

"Really?"

"It can't be fake. Start saving money from now on. ”

Mu Xuan said that Rong Zheng was in her mind, she really envied King Wu's Xishan Courtyard, the house was beautiful and very quiet. With such a place to escape the heat, she can not go out all summer.

The couple talked and laughed all the way, and soon they went to Dongshan, and there was a yellow mud road winding up, which could go straight to the top of the mountain. Just enough to pass through the car.

It's a pity that the road surface is uneven, there are potholes, and the car is inevitably a little bumpy. Mu Xuan was afraid that Rong Zheng would be knocked somewhere, so she kept protecting her in her arms.

I finally got to the gate of Baiyunan and parked the car. Mu Xuan hugged Rong Zheng down.

Different from Rong Zheng's imagination, this Baiyun Nunnery is really small, and it seems that there are only two major halls, and related side halls. Compared to the house where they lived, it was smaller.

A master dressed in a nun robe came out to meet them.

Rong Zheng stepped into the gate of the nunnery and saw a tall ancient locust tree in the courtyard in front of the main hall, hung with red ribbons. It is one wish after another that people pray to the Bodhisattva. The sound of cicadas on the trees is constant, accompanied by the sound of drums, adding a bit of charm.

Rong Zheng pious one by one, and finally came to the goddess of mercy and kowtowed two more heads.

Mu Xuan immediately guessed the meaning of why Rong Zheng came here to worship, he stood under the tree with his hands in his hands, looked at Rong Zheng with a smile, and said nothing.

On the way back, Mu Xuan whispered in Rong Zheng's ear: "You go to pay homage to Guanyin, it's better to be coquettish to me more, I'm much more effective than that." ”

Rong Zheng's ears immediately turned red, and he shyly pushed Mu Xuan away.

When he just went up the mountain, Mu Xuan found that there was a large lake at the bottom of the mountain, and the scenery was very good, so he pulled Rong Zheng and said, "Let's go row a boat for a while and then go back." ”

"Sister Yuan'er has been waiting for a long time, I'm afraid I'm going to cry."

"It's hard to get out on a trip, and you have to have fun. What are you worried about, isn't there four nurses with her? Just rush back before dark. ”

The sun sets, the green willows support the wind, and the sparkling lake is more like being sprinkled with a layer of gold dust. Mu Xuan rented a grasshopper boat from the dock without spending a few dollars.

He declined the driver's help, let Rong Zheng sit down, paddled the oars with both hands, and pushed the waves in circles. The boat was slowly leaving the docks.

Rong Zheng didn't have never been on a boat, but he hadn't been on Mu Xuan's boat, so he was very nervous: "Can you do it?" Let's invite the boat lady to come. ”

Mu Xuan smiled: "What are you afraid of, as long as you sit obediently and don't move." ”

Only then did Rong Zheng notice that Mu Xuan's rowing skills were good, smooth and steady, without a little bump. Looking up, you can see the blue sky and white clouds, and look down at the blue waves. Looking around, you can see the golden roof of the Jokhang Temple, the towering temple tower, the willows and the small umbrellas that have been propped up by lotus leaves. Not far away, there was a frog squatting on the lotus leaf, croaking.

In the distance, a painting boat came from the crisp and gentle sound of a flute, followed by a singer singing. The words that drifted into Rong Zheng's ears were the same words she had seen in her father's study when she was a child.

"I once remembered the twilight of the Xiting Pavilion, I was drunk and didn't know how to return, and I returned to the boat at night, and strayed into the depths of the lotus flower. Fighting for the crossing, startling a shoal of gulls and herons. ”

There is no other poem that has this to offer. She didn't see the gulls, but she saw a flock of pigeons flying high.

The boat rowed into the depths of the lotus, and the pink and white lotus flowers were blooming just in time. The faint fragrance hits the nose with the breeze.

Rong Zheng reached out and touched a blooming lotus flower, startling away a red dragonfly.

"Don't move while you're sitting."

Mu Xuan put down the oars and walked towards Rong Zheng.

Rong Zheng exclaimed: "What are you doing, beware of the boat capsizing." ”

"It doesn't matter if you turn it over, I can scoop you up right away." After saying this, he grabbed Rong Zheng's body and kissed her on the face gently.

After a few days of idle at home, a letter came from the prince's side, asking him to report to the Command Division of the Guards as soon as possible. At this moment, Mu Xuan finally knew the prince's intentions.

"I thought I would let you go to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, why did I let you go to the Guards?"

Mu Xuan didn't care, and said with a smile: "This is what the prince meant, so let's do it." If you go to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, you may be sent out at any time, but you don't have to worry about going to the Guards. I'll be in the capital for at least a few years. ”

Rong Zheng saw that Mu Xuan had no opinions, and of course she also supported Mu Xuan.

When Mu Xuan got up the next day, Rong Zheng also got up. She personally served Mu Xuan to dress and eat, and said with some concern: "You have to be careful about everything on the first day you go." I'll wait for you to come back for dinner. ”

Mu Xuan saw that Rong Zheng was more nervous than her, so she comforted her and said, "It's okay, don't worry about me." If you come back late, you and Sister Yuan will go to bed early. Don't wait too long. I'm sure I'll be on night duty in the future, so I'll get used to it slowly. ”

"Good, good. Don't worry about home, just go with confidence. ”

finally waited for Mu Xuan to go out.

After Mu Xuan left, Rong Zheng asked Baokang to go to the palace from time to time to inquire. Before noon, Bao Kang came in and said, "Congratulations to grandma, uncle has been promoted to the left commander." ”

"What kind of official position is this?"

Bao Kang said with a smile: "It's a third-grade martial artist." ”

Rong Zheng nodded and said, "It's okay." Then he asked people to prepare a reward.

"Niuniu, now your father can really live in the parents."

Sister Yuan didn't seem to understand, but when she saw that her mother was happy, she was also very happy, clapping her hands and running in circles at home, laughing uncontrollably.

Halfway through the afternoon, the other side of Scissors Alley also came to report the good news.

Rong Zheng gave a first-class ruler to the mother-in-law who came to say goodbye.

Bai's mother suggested: "Uncle's promotion is a great thing, grandma, do you want to prepare a banquet and invite a group of opera to come to the house for a lively day?" ”

Rong Zheng thought about it, they didn't have many relatives and friends in Beijing, should they celebrate and ask Mu Xuan what he meant.

Mu Xuan didn't come back until the second watch. Sister Yuan couldn't hold it anymore and had already slept.

"Congratulations to Uncle!" Rong Zheng smiled and blessed Mu Xuan.

Mu Xuan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't, don't make fun of me." ”

The couple discussed in the tent: "We are new, Meritus, do you think you should set up a banquet for a day?" ”

"If you want to do it, you can do it, but I'm afraid that there will be a lot of people to congratulate tomorrow. I take a bath every six days and change shifts every six days. In other words, I can only rest on the seventh day of junior high school, so you should set that day. ”

Rong Zheng said with a smile: "Okay, it's all up to you." ”

Mu Xuan said again: "I met King Wu in the palace today. He pulled me in and exchanged a few words. ”

Rong Zheng was silent for a while before he said, "They are something we can't afford to offend, so let's be as polite as possible." ”

Mu Xuan said: "Don't worry, I am measured." He continued: "Jiao Niang, all the family affairs are up to you, I'm just afraid that I don't have much time at home." When we were in Bianliang, there was my sister to help us, so it was completely up to us here. ”

Rong Zheng smiled: "Isn't it just to host the feed, it's not difficult." Our family is not large. There are no in-laws to serve, and there are no concubines. In the future, if you want to take root here, you have to invite the wives of the official families who have intersected with each other. It's good for you and good for us Sister Yuan. ”

Early the next morning, Princess Wu sent four grandmothers to bring congratulatory gifts to say goodbye. Rong Zheng personally received them and rewarded them with a first-class seal.

Immediately afterwards, the congratulatory gift of the crown princess was also delivered, and Princess Ningyu's mansion also gave gifts. Some other official wives in Beijing saw that these two powers gave gifts, and because Mu Xuan was an imperial prince, many Rong Zheng didn't even know their names, and they also surfaced to flatter. Mu Xuan's subordinates also sent female dependents to give gifts. The usually deserted courtyard suddenly became full of guests and lively.

Rong Zheng and Mu Xuan discussed the day of the banquet and set a good scene in Beijing.

On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Rong Zheng pulled his hair in a bun, changed into a green and shining gold cardigan, and a white silver striped yarn pleated skirt, and held a banquet at home, and prepared lively dramas to entertain these noble ladies who came to celebrate.

In her previous life, although she also presided over the feed, she was suppressed by her mother-in-law and sister-in-law, and there were not many places where she could show her talents. This time was not quite the same as the previous banquets, there were many expensive guests, the kind that could not be offended at all, so she had repeatedly confirmed each item before, and she did not allow the slightest mistake.

The eldest princess and the crown princess were not present, and the most noble person who came was Princess Wu.

Princess Wu saw that Rong Zheng was young, and she was sophisticated and calm in dealing with people, and praised with a smile: "Yes, don't look young." But he is a thoughtful person. More sophisticated than the princess of our family. ”

Rong Zheng said modestly: "The princess is boasting, where does the concubine dare to be." ”

"Good boy, I may have to live in Beijing for a while, anyway, I am bored, so I will sit with us when I am free. It's all family. ”

Rong Zheng still didn't know how to deal with the noble lady in front of him who had the queen's life, so he was careful and polite to deal with the past.

During the banquet, Mrs. Fang saw that Princess Wu was very polite to Rong Zheng, and whispered to Rong Zheng: "You are so blessed that you can be appreciated by Princess Wu." is so lively today, and the future of my uncle is limitless. ”

Rong Zheng said: "The prince rewards a bowl of rice to eat, so he naturally has to be grateful to Dade." ”

Mrs. Fang smiled, feeling that Rong Zheng was becoming more and more able to speak.

It was sung for two days. The next day, many guests didn't come again because the weather was too hot, and in addition to Mrs. Fang, there was also Princess Wu who arrived for two days in a row. This surprised Rong Zheng and Mu Xuan. (To be continued.) )
