Chapter 8 There are guests
All the way to Guanzhou, it took almost two months, stop-and-go, but on the way to see a lot of the world.
It's just that all the time in the carriage, not only Zhao Shu and Sun Yun, who have never been far away, but also Xiao Guozi, a thick-skinned man, also feel a little bored.
When I went out of the capital, it was still early autumn, and when I arrived in Guanzhou, it was already late autumn, but Guanzhou was located in the south, and I didn't feel very cold along the way, but if it was rainy, I still had to add a few more clothes.
"County Lord, Mama Zhong just came to say, let's live in Jinlan Palace, adjacent to the Queen Mother's Fengxin Palace, Miss Sun Liu lives with you, shall we pull things in now?" I came over in the early spring and asked.
Zhao Shu looked at the sky, it was close to evening, and the night would fall in a short time, and now it was no longer as good as the midsummer, and said: "Tell the soldiers and family members that today is harder, put everything away, lock it, and don't be careless tonight, and then slowly take turns to take a vacation tomorrow, and each person will be rewarded with a month's money." ”
"Yes, County Lord." In the early spring, I was happy for those soldiers who had been tired for almost two months, and if I got some more money, I would be better this year, Guanzhou was not as good as the capital, it was a small place, and many people would feel that their bones were loose.
Sun Yun didn't bring many people, but there were several big boxes of things, but she didn't need to worry about these, Xiao Guozi and the others would do it for her.
"Do you know where Aunt Huo lives?" Zhao Shu asked.
Luluo has been following her, and after listening to the words, she hurriedly said: "Live in the Huo family's Huo house in Guanzhou." ”
Zhao Shu was surprised, she didn't say a word in advance, when she got off the carriage, she kept wondering, why she hadn't seen Huo Danlan and Huo Baichuan and others, it turned out that there was also a house of the Huo family in Guanzhou, it was really a first-class family, and there were industries everywhere.
As soon as she asked, she saw the magpie coming over, "The slave maid saw the county lord, and the girl asked the slave and maid to tell the county lord." The girl and the virtuous son live in the Huo Mansion in the north of the city, and tomorrow the girl will come to the palace to see you. ”
"I should go to see my aunt and Xian'er, how can I let my aunt run by herself? When I first arrived in Guanzhou, the magpie went back. Presumably, my aunt can't live without you. Zhao Shu said with a smile.
The magpie was indeed in a hurry to go back, and after being blessed, he turned around and left.
Sun Yun tilted his head, watched the magpie leave, and suddenly said to Zhao Shu: "Actually." Our family also has a house in Guanzhou, or I will go to live in Sun's house, and I won't squeeze with you. ”
Zhao Shu glanced at her, "Aunt Huo is in charge of the Huo family, are you in charge?" ”
"Hey, Zhao Shu, can you speak a little more tactfully? I know I'm not as capable as Aunt Huo, but you haven't married yet, is it necessary to protect me now? I have no conscience, and I owe it to me to say good things for you everywhere. Sun Yun pretended to be angry. In fact, it was also a compromise, and I also very much agreed with Zhao Shu's words.
Zhao Shu is not afraid that she will be angry, the relationship between the two has become deeper and deeper recently, and she has no intention of being polite.
"Damaging my reputation every day, this is called saying good things for me?" Her voice was very low, only Sun Yun could hear it, and Sun Yun didn't say it out loud either, they all knew how ugly it would be if these words came out.
It's just a joke between friends.
"This is Sister Ajun and Miss Sun. It's really the same as what my aunt said, and she looks like a fairy. At this time, three women walked not far away, the youngest was thirteen or fourteen years old, and the oldest was only fifteen or sixteen years old. They are all flowery and bony at an age, and they are all dressed up extremely exquisitely.
The one who spoke was the oldest, she was dressed in a red background with a hundred flowers and a group of flowers, and she had a hundred flowers on her head, and the beaded flowers and hairpins were extremely gorgeous, but they were not gorgeous. Extremely dignified and atmospheric.
The other two, one of them is dressed in a white background with colorful dark flowers and cloud brocade clothes, combing fringed sideburns, and the beaded hairpins inserted in the bun are extremely lively and bright, looking playful and cute.
The youngest one is wearing a emerald brocade skirt, combing her temples, and the hairpins are all emerald colored, which contrasts with the clothes on her body, and looks much more demure.
Zhao Shu and Sun Yun looked at the three women with different temperaments in front of them, but each with their own unique style, and glanced at each other, Sun Yun didn't speak, Zhao Shu said politely: "I don't know how to call the sisters." ”
"Sister is called Wanru, this is Wanqing." She pointed to the woman wearing a white background and a dark flower cloud brocade dress, and then pointed to the woman wearing an emerald brocade skirt and said, "This is Wanshi." ”
Zhao Shu listened, did not salute, only said: "My sister has seen Wanru, Wanqing, and Wanshi. ”
After listening to Zhao Shu, Sun Yun also blessed his body with a dignified blessing, and gave a peer salute, "Sun Yun has seen three sisters. ”
The attitude of the two of them was extremely cold, although they were cold, but they were not rude, and the three people on the other side secretly gritted their teeth, but they didn't show anything on their faces, they just smiled and said: "I don't know if the two sisters are going to ask the Queen Mother for peace?" ”
"Yes." Zhao Shudao, I don't know if the imperial grandmother will see her, I guess she won't see her, and I don't know how to make her old man angry.
Zhao Wanru took a few steps forward with great enthusiasm, "The Queen Mother is tired of traveling, my sisters and I are afraid of disturbing the Queen Mother's rest, so my grandmother only sent me and my two sisters as representatives to greet the Queen Mother, and I can't go to welcome the Queen Mother in person, the sisters are extremely uncomfortable, why don't you Sister Ajun, Miss Sun Liu, you two go over with us?" ”
To the post house to welcome the queen mother, mostly women and men, and there are no ladies to go, they only kneel at the gate of Guanzhou City to welcome the queen mother, the team has just arrived in Guanzhou, at this time to send a representative to ask for peace, although it is not necessary, but it is also considered a number of courtesies.
Zhao Wanru is self-acquainted, and declares sovereignty, Guanzhou is her territory, so Zhao Shu, a guest, wants to go with them to greet her grandmother.
I can't say if I'm unhappy, but the expressions on the faces of Zhao Shu and Sun Yun are even lighter, and Zhao Shu nodded, "Okay." ”
"Sister Ajun and Miss Sun Liu have just arrived, they must not know much about Guanzhou, if Sister Ajun and Miss Sun don't dislike it, my sister will be a guide for the two, okay? Miss Sun Liu must have read a lot of books, but I don't know which ones she can read? Zhao Wanru and the three of them said and came to Sun Yun's side.
The five of them walked side by side, Zhao Wanru and the three of them were next to Sun Yun, and Zhao Shu was squeezed aside.
"Miss Sun's female worker must be very good if she wants to come, I don't know what tricks are popular in Beijing today? I have a lot of tricks brought from Jiangnan, and after a few days, Miss Sun will rest, and I will use them for you to judge, okay? Zhao Wanqing said extremely docile, well-behaved and cute to Sun Yun.
"Miss Sun Liu must be tired, you don't want to disturb Miss Sun, my sister has prepared some special products from Guanzhou, and I will bring it to Miss Sun later, although the things in Guanzhou are not as exquisite as the capital, but you have never eaten it before, taste it." It's still pretty good. ”
This was said by Zhao Wanshi, she scolded Zhao Wanqing, and the smile on her face was extremely calm and gentle.
The three of you say a word, and Zhao Shu watched silently beside him. Luluo, Sheng Xia and the others are already angry and pale, their county lord is still here! Are they blind? If you want a grade or not, if you want a beautiful demeanor, you don't have a beautiful demeanor, and you will be embarrassed by their county lord, no matter how powerful Miss Sun is. It's not their county lord's companion yet!
Are the girls of the family worthy of such an obvious stutter!
If Zhao Shu knew that Luluo and the others were jealous of Sun Yun, they would definitely shake their heads and laugh, this is not the first time this kind of thing, it is normal for the clan girls in Guanzhou to tie up with the daughters of the family, and the same is true for those in the capital.
Nowadays, the family is rampant, and the royal clan is the biggest nouveau riche, the representative of the vulgar people in the world.
Sun Yun was extremely righteous, stretched out his hand to pull Zhao Shu, took Zhao Shu's arm and said, "I understand the kindness of the three." But no, I'm Ajun's companion, everything doesn't need to worry about the three of you, the female officials in the palace will arrange it properly, I and Ajun are good sisters, she will not let me be wronged, the queen mother's bedroom has arrived, the three of you go and ask for peace. She pointed to the Feng Xin Hall in front of her, and her tone was more than three or five times lighter than Fang Cai, it should be said that it was cold. His expression was as arrogant as a phoenix flying from the sky, looking down on them as mortals with contempt.
The faces of the three of them were blue and white for a while, extremely unsightly, they didn't expect Sun Yun to be so ruthless. directly rejected them and didn't say it, and talked to them in that kind of superior-like tone, no matter how great it was, it was just a companion, or the companion of the infamous county lord in the capital!
These three people didn't know at all, and while they couldn't see Sun Yun clearly, they were actually belittling themselves.
Walk to the gate of Fengxin Palace. The little eunuch guarding the door stopped a few people, "The slave has seen the county lord and seen Miss Sun." The little eunuch did not salute Zhao Wanru and the others.
The three of them were extremely unhappy in their hearts, just a eunuch, and they looked down on the daughter of their clan! But a good upbringing allows them to restrain their bad feelings, and they are still extremely dignified and demure, and the displeasure brought by Sun Yun's coldness is also very well suppressed in the bottom of their hearts.
"Please let my father-in-law report it, and say that Ah Yun and I will come to the imperial grandmother to say goodbye." Zhao Shu said in a calm voice.
The little eunuch was a little panicked and embarrassed, "County Lord, the Queen Mother has passed the word, she doesn't see you, you and Miss Sun should go back." ”
The expected result, with her experience of living for three lifetimes, guarantees that the Queen Mother must want to teach her another lesson this time, this time not to punish her for kneeling, but to make her fall out of favor!
Then, suffer the anger of others.
No, as soon as the little eunuch's words came out, Zhao Wanshi's attitude towards Zhao Shu was even worse than Fang Cai, and the contempt on his face immediately appeared, Fang Cai was just close to Sun Yun and not close to her, and now he didn't even want to give a good face.
However, Zhao Shu will not worry about them, and generally people who can't hold their breath will have nothing to do, on behalf of the Guanzhou sisters, come to greet the Queen Mother?
In her opinion, the first bird is about the same.
Sun Yun pulled the corner of Zhao Shuyi, "Go back, I'm so sleepy." ”
Zhao Shu nodded, kowtowed at the door of Lifeng Palace, and went to the Jinlan Hall next door with Sun Yun.
Jinlan Hall is not big, not only much smaller than Yongwang Mansion, but also smaller than Qionghua Courtyard, Zhao Shu and Sun Yun took a look around, a stick of incense, and then looked at the entire Jinlan Palace.
It is said that it is a temple, but there are two embroidery floors inside, the embroidery floor and the embroidery floor are connected to each other, the embroidery floor has three floors, and each floor is connected by an overpass.
Under the overpass, there is a small pond, and there are green lotuses planted in the pond, but it is not the season for flowers.
Zhao Shu and Sun Yun chose an embroidery building, and they both tacitly chose to live on the third floor, standing high and seeing far away.
After choosing a place to live, Sheng Xia and the others made the bed room for Zhao Shu and Sun Yun, and when they arrived on the first day, they both chose to sleep together.
After eating a few bites of food and washing, the two of them lay down on the bed and quickly fell asleep.
The next day, the two of them still wanted to sleep, but they were told that the daughters of the sect in Guanzhou had come to ask for peace, and Zhao Shu was puzzled: "Isn't this time of the day to ask for peace at the emperor's grandmother?" ”
Lu Pothos had already heard the news, so he pouted: "County Lord, these people are so annoying, they actually said that they wanted to go with the County Lord, so they came to disturb you, and tonight Aunt asked Xing'er to spread the word, and the Queen Mother didn't see anyone today." ”
Zhao Shu listened and frowned, "You mean, the imperial grandmother doesn't see anyone today?" ”
"Yes, I don't see it, the Queen Mother has just arrived, I'm afraid I have to rest for a while." The pothos is still puffing up.
Zhao Shu looked at her like that, presumably being bullied, so she smiled and said: "If you don't like it, then don't see it, you go and sue them, the county lord can't be empty today, Ah Yun, I still want to sleep, what about you?" ”
Sun Yun didn't plan to get up at all, lying on the bed, as if he hadn't eaten for several days, and said with his eyes closed: "It's not for me to say goodbye, Luluo, you go and tell them, this girl misses her family and is worried, don't bother." ”
After saying that, he fell asleep like a dead pig.
"Well, the slave and maid will go and talk to them." The green pothos was blessed and ran out of the embroidery building quickly.
Zhao Shu and Sun Yun were lying on the bed, their eyes were still closed, but the sleepiness was gone, Sun Yun comforted Zhao Shu and said, "Don't be angry, aren't you just a group of irrelevant people?" They are jealous of you, and a life that is not envied is a failure, so if you succeed, you may be famous for eternity. ”
Zhao Shu was helpless and wanted to shake her head, but she didn't even feel tired shaking her head, "I'm not angry, I just feel annoyed." ”
The Queen Mother is still there, as a member of the clan, she should first ask the Queen Mother for peace, although half of her older children are of higher grade, but what is it? actually came over early and looked for her first, is this creating a domineering image for her?
I'm sorry, her image in the capital is domineering, rude and willful!
What's more, yesterday Zhao Wanru and others knew that the Queen Mother didn't see her, what does it mean today? Came to see her jokes en masse? Aren't they afraid that the Queen Mother will suddenly change her mind and judge herself, and then slap them in the face?
Hmph, I'm afraid that if the Queen Mother sees them, they will have a big face, and if the Queen Mother doesn't see them, she will blame her for it.
The two of them slept again, and it was already dawn, Zhao Shu didn't know why, she couldn't sleep anyway, so she got up and was combing her hair, and the green pothos said to Zhao Shu: "County Lord, Sister Magpie is here, please ask the county lord and Miss Sun to go to Huo's house, saying that there are guests from afar." ”
Zhao Shu heard the word Yuanke, and her heart suddenly beat like thunder, isn't the prince in Guanzhou? So fast?
Whether it was or not, she hurriedly asked Chu Chun to prepare gifts, put on autumn clothes with Sun Yun, put on a cloak, covered her cheeks with a veil, drove to the sea with people, and went to Huo's house in a mighty way. (To be continued.) )
