Chapter 327: Singing and dancing to welcome the prince
The tax of Guangling Mansion is only 20% a year, and other places are 30%, so the people pay less taxes than other places, and this year's year is good, and the people have a better life this year.
Approaching the end of the year, the common people beat gongs and drums, lively and lively, especially festive.
When the king of Guangling came to the city of Guangling, the city gate was already full of people ten miles away.
The Governor of Guangling Prefecture, Lord Wen, had already prepared, touching the officers and soldiers throughout the process, standing on the side of the road with one post at five steps and one sentry at ten steps, so as not to block the frame of the honor guard of King Guangling.
King Guangling is about to enter the city, and if the people are allowed to rush forward, King Guangling's guard of honor will not be able to advance at all.
In fact, the people can only see the honor guard of King Guangling, and they can't see King Guangling himself at all, but this is enough, the noise, laughter, one after another.
From the heartfelt cheers of the people, it can be seen that King Guangling has won the hearts of the people in the local area.
Du Liang rode a horse and stood at the gate of the city, his heart was sour, he originally thought that it was all his, the uncle had found his biological son, and there was no place for him in the Guangling Palace, and all his previous efforts were in vain.
But thinking about these years, the uncle has been good to him, even if he doesn't have a title, he can live well. It's just a headache that the Yu family mothers in the family, like the eldest uncle, are all tigresses who don't smile and don't smile, and they follow their dead father and mother all day long, pulling their faces, pointing at his nose and scolding him for being useless.
Hum! He's useless? Back then, it wasn't him who went to the pole to marry the young lady of the Yu family, it was the eldest aunt who forced it on him. But now Du Liang is also glad that he married the granddaughter of the Yu family, even if he does not achieve it in the future. The children can also count on the Yue's family.
Growing up in the Guangling Palace, although he succeeded the princess Yu, every time he saw him, he smiled very kindly, but he still liked to get along with the uncle who didn't smile. Du Liang always knew that the eldest uncle didn't want the princess, so he never spent the night in the step-princess's house. Since the relationship is so bad, how did the two come together back then?
Although Du Liang was curious, he didn't know the answer, and he didn't know who to ask. In the palace of Guangling Wang. Those who know the answer. That is, the prince and the step-princess Yu.
Du Liang dismounted, saluted the carriage of King Guangling, and said, "Uncle, it's been hard all the way!" ”
"It's not hard. All right. Let's go back! King Guangling said in a deep voice. The carriage curtain was lowered.
When I arrived in the city, it was even more crowded, and it was originally only necessary to walk in a carriage for half an hour. Now it took a whole hour to get to the gate of the Guangling Palace.
The princess's door opened, and the housekeeper and housekeeper stood outside.
King Guangling got out of the carriage, and Yang and others followed King Guangling. Many subordinates at the door hurriedly knelt down and said, "Meet the prince, the princess of the world!" Little master! ”
Where has the Yang family seen such a battle, his face is a little pale, holding his stomach with one hand, and supporting his daughter Du Qimei on the side with the other.
Du Wulang was very calm, his face remained the same, but this was all on the surface, his hands in his sleeves were clenched into fists, and his palms were sweaty.
Du Balang, Du Jiumei was a little excited, looking at the mighty stone lion at the door, they will live here in the future.
People came and went outside the gate, and it was understandable that the princesses Yu and Xiao did not come to greet them, but when King Guangling arrived at the second gate, he still didn't see the two of them.
Since the step-princess Yu took the opportunity to put on a show, there was no need for King Guangling to have any scruples.
Du Liang saw that Xiao Shi did not come, and his face suddenly turned pale, this loser girl only listened to the princess all day long. Now that the princess is not coming, she will not come as a junior, and she will advance and retreat with the princess.
King Guangling glanced at Du Liang and said: "Since your daughter-in-law can't look down on the Guangling Palace, then tomorrow you will move to the house in Ginkgo Lane, which was originally the courtyard prepared for you to become a family." If it is empty for so many years, the yard will be dilapidated.
When Du Liang heard this, his nose was sour, but he understood that if the eldest uncle could say it, he would do it. He couldn't stay here with a dead face, and he couldn't stay.
"Yes, uncle. In the future, Liang'er will not be able to fulfill his filial piety in front of you, and please take care of your uncle. Du Liang said respectfully, very obedient.
King Guangling turned to Heng Si and said, "Since the princess is unwell, let's recuperate, I don't have to recognize a son and come back, so I'm tired!" ”
"Yes, Lord Wang!" Heng Si said in a deep voice, glanced at Mama Gong in the distance, and nodded.
Mama Gong understood, and directly led someone to seal the courtyard of the step-princess Yu.
"All the way, take the princesses, young masters, and young ladies to their respective courtyards to rest, and talk together when you have something to eat at night." King Guangling commanded, although the voice was not loud, but no one dared to refute King Guangling's words.
Yang was taken to an exquisite courtyard, the sign of the round arch reads "Dawn Garden", and the courtyard of Du Ba Lang and Du Wu Lang is close to the outer courtyard, the courtyard is not large, the two courtyards are next to each other, but it is quiet and chic. Du Qimei's yard and Du Jiumei's yard are also separated, but Du Jiumei's yard is very large, far away from Dawn Garden.
Du Jiumei's five wine fruit trees were carried in and five large vats were placed.
Mama Zheng and Mama Wu followed the Yang family to serve, and the few grandmothers sent by the Queen Mother were taken down by the palace grandma to rest.
Du Jiumei entered her own room, dizzying, looking down at the ground covered with red felt, near the head of the bed, the red carpet was very soft, there was a large brazier with elephant trunk three-legged loach flowing gold enamel on the ground, and the front kang was covered with new scarlet felt, with a backrest, pillow, and mattress embroidered with pink embroidered "plum blossoms", and a red fox on it; On the twelve carved lacquered chairs on both sides of the ground, there are one-color gray squirrel chairs with small mattresses, and each chair has a large copper foot stove for winter warmth.
Du Jiumei has never lived in such a good house, oh my God, the noble mansion of the palace is really not something that she, a peasant girl, can imagine.
Hengsi, Mama Gong arranged for each little master, sent hot water respectively, bathed and changed clothes.
Long after King Guangling came back, he brought over the sizes of the little masters, and according to these sizes, the sewing workshop made a lot of clothes for the little masters. Clothes, hats, shoes and socks, capes and cloaks are all available.
Du Jiumei soaked in hot water, Zixu and Ziyu waited for Du Jiumei to wash, and the other maids were all driven out.
Put on a pink embroidered silver thread jacket, the crescent moon is white, the lower body is a skirt of the same color, because it is winter, so the pants worn below are thicker, with a layer of cotton, and a pair of off-white high-tied thick-soled butterflies flying on the feet.
After drying her hair, Zi Fu gave Du Jiumei two Baotou, with a hairnet made of small pearls to cover Baotou, a few finger-sized pearls hung down along the Baotou, walking, swaying, particularly good-looking, this is a rare jewelry in Du Jiumei's jewelry! (To be continued.) )
