Chapter 143: Plum Blossom Appreciation
Hearing the plum banquet, Mu Jinrou wanted to shrink her head, what happened in the summer lotus banquet was still in front of her, and she sighed in her heart, it was worthy of a good banquet.
Old Madam Dong didn't know what Mu Jinrou was thinking, and then said, "Lady Rou, do you know what the predecessor of the Qin Wangfu was?" ”
Mu Jinrou shook her head, people who have been to the Qin Palace's Mansion know that every grass and tree there cannot be raised overnight, it is a palace with a foundation.
Mrs. Dong said: "In the past, it was King Zheng's mansion, which was the residence of the first emperor before he ascended the throne, and was later given to King Zheng. That King Zheng was the favorite prince of the previous emperor except for today's saints, and after years of repair, there is today's palace. In the early years, Princess Zheng would hold banquets every four seasons and spread invitations, which led to a red line for many children.
Now King Zheng is gone, but the palace continues this tradition. This is also the level of the gardeners in the palace, and you can see a different scene in the palace every season. Although our Dong family is new to the capital, if we want to integrate into the circle of nobles in the capital, we must participate in this kind of banquet. It just so happens that my wife and I also have a soft girl, and I also want to see how many of my acquaintances are still alive. ”
After listening to this, Mu Jinrou asked, "I don't know where King Zheng went?" ”
She is also young, and she doesn't know anything about what happened in the court in the early years. As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Dong frowned.
It's not just her, even the Xu family and the Zhang family don't understand, and what Mu Jinrou asked is also what they think.
Mrs. Dong sighed and said, "Alas, this matter, it's okay for our mother to talk about it, but don't talk about it when you go out." ”
Xu said solemnly: "Daughter-in-law province." If there are any taboos, please ask your mother to mention them more. ”
Anything about the royal family is very taboo. If one of the children in the family accidentally talks nonsense. It would be a catastrophe to be heard by someone with a heart.
Mu Jinrou also said: "Please remind my aunt more, Rou'er doesn't know anything." ”
Seeing that they were all in a correct posture, a smile appeared on Mrs. Dong's face. After waving his hand to let the servants go out, he said: "I heard that the emperor loved King Zheng and was prosperous in the current saint, otherwise he would not have given King Zheng the mansion when he was the prince." More than ten years ago, King Zheng was impeached by the imperial history because the only son in the family robbed the people's daughter, so he took the initiative to ask to leave Beijing and return to the fiefdom in the bitter cold, and promised that future generations would never enter Beijing without being called, so he escaped the catastrophe. And King Zheng's mansion was also taken back by the imperial court as a matter of course. When the King of Qin came of age, he gave him the palace of King Zheng. ”
Speaking of which. Mu Jinrou was stunned again, it seems that King Qin has a lot of omens in this palace. Although the officials of the court all said good things about King Qin, can the current saint not know that the former emperor liked King Zheng and was alienated from him? Does the gift of a Zheng Wangfu mean something?
Then. Mrs. Dong said again: "If you hear this, it will rot in your stomach, and you are not allowed to guess or say it, just listen to it as an allusion." Our Dong family is only loyal to His Majesty, and that is enough. ”
"Yes. The daughter-in-law was taught. ”
Mu Jinrou also bowed. She knew that her aunt knew the Dong family's position very well, otherwise she would not have returned to Beijing from the northwest.
The winter in Shangjing is extremely cold, and it becomes cold and swishing almost overnight after the north wind.
Mu Jinrou counted her fingers and looked forward to the arrival of the first snow. In her words, knowing that there is no good banquet, she still has to dress herself up with her heart, and it is really far less pleasant to cut meat with a blunt knife than to go down with a knife.
This day I opened my eyes, and it was a white day outside. She finally let go of this heart, "It's finally coming." ”
The days of waiting are not idle and nothing to do. Li Yi came again and said some of the outside situation, in short, King Qin and the crown prince won and lost each other, and the crown prince's position could be kept in a short period of time.
This news was a bit negative for Mu Jinrou, and she told him about King Zheng. Li Yi naturally knew this very well, but the authorities were confused, and they only knew that the current saint loved King Qin very much, but he didn't expect that His Majesty might have a warning in it.
Mu Jinrou's words startled the dreamer, and Li Yi felt that his previous response to the prince was correct. Responding to changes with the same is the best policy.
At the same time, Mu Jinrou also learned about the latest developments in Andingbo's Mansion, it seems that the Hu family's situation is very bad, and Mu Jinshang has also changed his temper and become quiet.
But what is even worse is Mu Jinrong and Aunt Liu, who have now become the punching bags of the Sun family and the Hu family. Neither the Sun family nor the Hu family can help anyone, but they can all sprinkle their anger on Mu Jinrong and Aunt Liu.
I heard that when the cold wind was raging a few days ago, the Hu family somehow came to punish Aunt Liu for kneeling in the courtyard for an hour, but it was Mu Jinrong's good words that made the Hu family relieved.
Mu Jinrou only smiled when she heard this, what does it have to do with what they are doing? As long as you don't pay attention to her.
However, Mu Jinrou still had an extra heart and remembered these abnormalities one by one. It's just because after she came to Dong Mansion, Andingbo's Mansion was too calm, and Mrs. Lin'an Hou was the same, I'm afraid it would be a storm after Jingji!
The first snow fell for two days, and after the snow stopped, the post of the plum banquet in the Qin Palace's mansion was sent to the Dong Mansion.
The time is set for tomorrow, and there is a time limit for enjoying the snow and plum blossoms, so naturally the sooner the better.
The next day, Mu Jinrou packed up and went out with Mrs. Dong.
This time I could only take two maids with me, so I brought lotus flowers and snow bamboo. Mrs. Dong only brought Xiaohong and an old woman.
As soon as she got in the car, Mrs. Dong said that she was dressed modestly today.
Mu Jinrou had no choice but to smile and say that Andingbo's Mansion is still in the filial piety period, and it is not easy to dress beautifully.
In fact, she thinks it's okay, the pale pink plain makeup cardigan, the moon-white embroidered bird's folded skirt, and a light purple big wool cape, which is still a delicate double bun.
Sitting beside Mrs. Dong obediently, where is there still a little bit of an abandoned daughter in the Anding Bo Mansion who is not welcomed. She is dressed in a decent manner, but she is full of aura and confidence.
It was not the first time that Qin Wangfu had come, but this time he was treated differently with Mrs. Dong. When I entered the plum garden, I saw that the princess was already waiting there.
This is also the first time Mu Jinrou has seen Song Xueyan since returning from Qingliangguan, and she found that her complexion has improved a lot, and her face has grown flesh.
The plum garden has long been swept out of the paths, and from time to time you can see tents of different shapes on the outside, and hot air wafts outside. It can be seen that the organizer is very experienced and will never let the guests freeze because of the cold weather.
Looking at the old plum trees that only have leaves and do not bloom before, under the reflection of the snow, the clusters of plum blossoms bloom just right, and the fragrance is quiet.
Mu Jinrou couldn't wait to step forward and fold two branches and bring them back to insert the bottle. However, it would have been better if I hadn't seen Hu walking this way with his two daughters behind him. (To be continued......)
