Chapter 119: Begonias
Xia Xiaodong and Yuan Niangzi were busy for a few days, and they deliberated many details in all aspects, and finally got the improvement plan of crepe yarn ready. Yuan Niangzi did not delay for a day, and left on the same day.
I thought I could live a leisurely life for a while, but who knew that the number of times I gnawed crabs under the chrysanthemums and looked at Nanshan was not a few times, and Lu Yunzhi brought an invitation from Jiang's mansion.
"Jiang Yizhen, please go over and enjoy the begonias." Lu Yunzhi explained: "Who is Jiang Yizhen, do you remember? ”
Hmm, although he had only heard this name once, Xia Xiaodong had some impressions: "It's Jiang Shoufu's eldest granddaughter, the one who the Nine Emperor Princes asked to marry in public." ”
"Uh-huh," Lu Yunzhi nodded again and again: "You finally know some of the nobles in the capital." Now that Sister Yizhen is preparing to get married, it is not very convenient to go out, so she asked some sisters who are good to go over. ”
If a girl is engaged, if she goes outside to show her face, she will inevitably be judged by others, and even aunts and aunts, maybe they will stop and say 'intimate words' for half a day, which is indeed inconvenient.
"By the way," Xia Xiaodong remembered a question: "Shouldn't the princes' relatives be appointed by the emperor?" Why did the Nine Emperors come forward to ask for marriage by themselves? ”
Romance is romantic, but the style of painting is wrong.
"The procedure of the emperor's marriage is naturally going to go," Lu Yunzhi explained Xia Xiaodong's confusion: "But when Emperor Wenzong was the prince, he was assigned to marry the Lu family, which was later Empress Xiaowu. Because the Lu family is fierce and jealous, but the Lu family is powerful and cannot be abolished, Wenzong is very displeased. Therefore, the marriages of the princes were all left to their own choice, and then they gradually handled it accordingly. ”
"Generally, the princes have a candidate, and they know that the emperor is married. Like the Nine Emperor Princes, it's a little out of line, but it's not a big mistake. ”
Xia Xiaodong naturally didn't know who Wenzong was, but it sounded like it should be a certain imperial ancestor, anyway, it would be good to know this kind of thing, but there was no need to delve into it.
"This begonia, I won't go to appreciate it." Speaking of the invitation of the Jiang Mansion, Xia Xiaodong didn't want to go much: "I don't know Jiang Yizhen at all, and I don't feel comfortable in the past, Sister Yunzhi will go by herself." ”
"No, no, no," Lu Yunzhi refused: "Sister Yizhen specially asked the person who posted the post to bring me a message, so that I must persuade you to go with me." They gave you a post. ”
Xia Xiaodong hesitated, and it seemed that not going would be very face-saving .......
"Did you say why I want to go?" Xia Xiaodong asked.
"I said I had something to tell you." Lu Yunzhi didn't hide it, and said: "Actually, it's not just you, many people now have show girls, and this time Sister Yizhen invited a lot of show girls to go with her." Other show girls rushed to go, and there were rumors in private that they were going to choose a few side concubines for the Nine Emperor Princes. ”
Seeing Xia Xiaodong's discoloration when he heard this, Lu Yunzhi hurriedly comforted: "It must have nothing to do with you." Otherwise, with Sister Yizhen's relationship with me, she would never fail to say hello. ”
That's fine. Xia Xiaodong thought about it and agreed.
……
……
The residence of the first assistant Jiang Fengshi is not far from the palace city, and the shape is similar to the palace, but it is a huge mansion.
Xia Xiaodong and Lu Yunzhi passed by the door by car, only to see a very orderly procession of officials, lined up from the door to the street.
Lu Yunzhi chuckled and said, "These are probably the officials who came to ask to see Lord Shoufu." I've heard that there are a lot of rules. ”
Xia Xiaodong looked at it for a moment and said with a smile: "What kind of rules, at most, don't let people in." ”
"There," Lu Yunzhi disagreed: "Do you think anyone can come to stand guard in front of Lord Shoufu's mansion." Below the fifth grade, it is not even possible to come and wait. In fact, most of these people in line just came to make a gesture of asking to see, and most of them didn't see Shousuke-sama until the evening. ”
"There was an interesting story before, saying that there was an official who came to see him every day, and gradually became familiar with the concierge," Lu Yunzhi knew a lot about these stories, and hurried to popularize them to Xia Xiaodong: "Later, I was entrusted with an important task......
"What's the heavy lift?" Hearing the deliberately aggravated word 'heavy responsibility', Xia Xiaodong naturally knew that he should ask this at this time.
"Hehe, just let him help maintain order." Lu Yunzhi laughed as he spoke: "Don't say it, this person really has some skills, it is said that the method of queuing up now is what he came up with." You see, doesn't it look better to line up in a single row like this than to do a bunch in a row? And it doesn't affect the road traffic here. What's more, every time Shousuke comes in and out, everyone can see it in the sedan chair, isn't it fair. ”
"Then that guy was promoted, right?"
"Well, it is said that he quickly rose to the two poles, and later became the confidant of Lord Shousuke, and was placed in the imperial history."
This person can not only let go of his face and make friends, but also has some talent in doing practical things, and he can be regarded as a talent.
Between talking and laughing, the car has bypassed the front of the mansion and stopped on the west side.
The Begonia Garden in the Shoufu Mansion is really worthy of its name, planting all kinds of begonias, there are many colors of yellow, purple, pink, white and red, and they are in full bloom at this time under careful ripening. If you look closely, there are many flower shapes of single wings, golden pillars, and large buds. The place is also put into the place, supplemented by rockery and flowing water, which has a bit of artistic conception.
Xia Xiaodong didn't expect that he really enjoyed the begonia flowers for a long time, until Lu Yunzhi became impatient and came to urge her, and then remembered that usually the lady used to say something like flower appreciation, but it was just an excuse, and it was only right to go to Jiang Yizhen's place to sit.
I don't know if it is due to the unique layout of the house, or deliberately arranged, Haitang Garden is actually in the southwest corner of the whole mansion, from the west door is not far away, but from here to the inner courtyard or the outer courtyard, there is still a considerable distance.
Fortunately, the host was thoughtful and prepared a lot of sliding rods. If you don't want to walk by yourself, you can let the mother-in-law carry it.
Lu Yunzhi has always been pampered and impatient, and he was tired after walking in Begonia Garden for a while, so he wanted to sit on a sliding pole. Xia Xiaodong felt that the autumn was cool, and since he was in the Shoufu Mansion, he should take a stroll and take a look at the scenery. In the end, the two went their separate ways.
Fortunately, whether they are sitting on a sliding pole or walking, there is no shortage of people on the same road, Lu Yunzhi was quickly greeted by another girl, and Xia Xiaodong didn't go far before he ran into Miss Qin Si.
When Miss Qin Si saw Xia Xiaodong, her eyes lit up, she rushed over, grabbed Xia Xiaodong's hand, and laughed repeatedly: "Sister Xiaodong is also here, it's really good." I was about to go to the chrysanthemum garden, but one or two of them were tired and refused to go. Sister, come with me. ”
"Okay," this idea is in line with Xia Xiaodong's thoughts, looking at the Begonia Garden, you can imagine that the chrysanthemum garden here should be extraordinary.
Compared with talking and chatting with a group of ladies, Xia Xiaodong prefers to enjoy flowers.
Interpretation flowers are not as good as chrysanthemums.
Later, Xia Xiaodong found out that he was wrong.
