Chapter 238 is not long-sighted
At this time, someone reported that someone had already arrived outside the Zhuangzi. The eldest princess of Yushan turned to Yun Nuo and said, "Yun Nuo, you go to the front and have a look, and let them take them to the Ziyuan in the south first."
Liu Qingsu is not surprised by this, after all, it is estimated that the family members of those low-grade officials came first.
Speaking of which, this Autumn Garden will be a good thing or a trouble for those low-grade officials.
Originally, these low-grade or non-grade women usually didn't have much opportunity to meet so many high-grade women. And often have a request, or when they interact, they rely on these banquets.
It's just that there are more people at this banquet, so they have to get up early. Because if you don't come early. On the way, they had to make way for those high-grade carriages, and it was almost the same as squeezing them all the way to the Zhuangzi banquet. Besides, if they are late, they will be a little too self-defeating.
But in general, the eldest princess of Yushan also conveyed a message that this banquet was not very important.
After Yun Nuo left, the eldest princess of Yushan continued to watch the racecourse with Liu Qingsu. After that, no one came to report to the eldest princess of Yushan for a while.
Until someone came to report that someone from the Anguo Mansion had come.
The eldest princess of Yushan said: "We are just guests, Yunnuo Palace has already let us go to the front to help, and it is also for the sake of this Zhuangzi is the seventh prince, and it is inconvenient for the next palace to interfere."
The words of the eldest princess of Yushan give people the feeling that the eldest princess of Yushan is not interested in this banquet. At the same time, if others hear it, I am afraid that the relationship between the eldest princess of Yushan and the seventh prince is not very good.
It wasn't until noon that Sun Haoyue rushed from the capital to Zhuangzi.
I don't know if it's a coincidence or a chance encounter, not long after Sun Haoyue arrived, everyone in the Liu Mansion came.
The eldest princess of Yushan can avoid anyone, and Liu Qingsu can also use the guest of the eldest princess of Yushan to avoid going to the front. This will be the time when the people from the Liu Mansion came, but Liu Qingsu was greeted by the front no matter what.
The eldest princess of Yushan also said: "I'm also a little tired from visiting this palace, so I just happened to go to the front to rest for a while."
Liu Qingsu knew that the eldest princess of Yushan was thinking about her.
At this time, although Liu Qingsu said that she must have to go to the front to meet the people of the Liu Mansion, but after all, she is now here with the eldest princess of Yushan, and it is somewhat inappropriate for her to go first.
The move of the eldest princess of Yushan just solved Liu Qingsu's embarrassment.
So the two went together.
In the middle of the road, the eldest princess of Yushan went back to Ning Cuiju, and Liu Qingsu and Wei Mama and others went to the front.
"Miss, why doesn't the eldest princess of Yushan just go to the front with Miss? It can be regarded as giving the young lady enough face. ”
Liu Qingsu glanced at Liuhong, and the reader Mama Wei said, "Mama Wei and Liuhong are talking."
Mama Wei knew that Liu Qingsu was asking her to make it clear to Liuhong.
So Mama Wei said: "Liuhong's guess is actually good, the eldest princess of Yushan did consider Miss when she proposed to leave the racecourse with Miss just now, but it is impossible to offend all the ladies in the capital for Miss again."
Liu Qingsu then said: "Mama Wei is right, if the eldest princess goes to the front for me, then everyone will envy me." But the eldest princess of Yushan gives people the impression that she doesn't know what to do. Then Liu Fu, who is envied by others because of the eldest princess of Yushan, will also be even more embarrassed. ”
Liuhong nodded.
Liu Qingsu arrived at the door of Zhuangzi and happened to see the old lady and everyone in Liu's mansion.
"Grandmother!"
Liu Qingsu shouted cordially when he saw the old lady, and then said hello to the Yu family and several other aunts.
"Second girl, come here."
The old lady called Liu Qingsu to her, and Liu Qingsu hurriedly stepped forward to hold the old lady. But I felt that the old lady turned her hand and pinched Liu Qingsu tightly a few times.
Liu Qingsu couldn't help but be suspicious in his heart. Did something happen? Look at my grandmother as if she had something important to say.
While Liu Qingsu was thinking. Yun Nuo came over in person.
"Old lady, the eldest princess said that there are a lot of people today, and the second lady can just take a few people to the second lady to talk."
The old lady said, "Thank you, eldest princess."
Liu Qingsu also said: "Thank you for the love of the eldest princess."
The old lady was already a lot more relaxed at this time.
But the will of the queen's mother still made the old lady who had seen the wind and waves feel a little uneasy. She has lived most of her life, and there has never been a banquet dignitary to watch and take the entrance fee. Even if there is a few banquets, everyone spontaneously pays some money. But there is no banquet that collects money in the open.
The old lady couldn't help but think of the "sincere invitation" in the queen's will, but it obviously had some coercion. Who can really live up to the sincerity of the queen's sincere invitation? And there are many of those who want to take the opportunity to pull relationships.
These can only make the old lady wonder. But what worries the old lady the most is Emperor Wen, who did not come forward.
Such a large amount of money. It is still the will of the queen's mother, but Zhuangzi is the seventh prince. It should be impossible for Emperor Wen to be unclear, but there is no trace of Emperor Wen's reflection. Even on the way, I heard the elder sister Wang Taishi's younger daughter-in-law Luo Shi say that the news from the uncle's mansion said that Emperor Wen was still resting in the queen's Kunning Palace last night.
Although Luo's husband is not obvious, but Wang Taishi only has two brothers, and both of them are brothers of the same mother, and the relationship is very good. So Luo had a daughter who married the second son of the uncle's mansion.
Not to mention whether the news from the Uncle Guo's Mansion has the meaning of adding luster to the queen's mother, it would be even more intriguing to say that if this thing is true.
At this time, the old lady did not know that the items to be charged were still to come.
Maybe women are born with an intuition, and the old lady who has experienced a lot of things is also more intuitive, as early as the morning, the old lady looked at the flowers and branches that everyone was wearing, and the old lady suddenly felt uncomfortable, and there was a feeling that something was wrong.
So the old lady asked everyone to go back and change into clothes that were decent but not noticeable.
As a result, the people of Liu Mansion were a little inferior to the many mansions they met on the road wearing beautiful costumes.
It's not. A richly dressed thirty-year-old lady shouted to the old lady and her group, "Do you know where Ziyuan is?"
The old lady glanced at the man and continued on as if she hadn't heard. The other people in the Liu Mansion were also very angry when they heard it, and now the people in the capital have to look up to the Liu Mansion more or less. The people in the Liu Mansion in front of them have not seen them in Beijing for so many years, so they are even more angry, those people are just the family members of officials from other places who are so kind to the Liu Mansion.
The woman was also followed by a lady and several young ladies, I don't know if the old lady ignored her for a while and felt that she was losing face, or if it was due to her upbringing.
Before the people of the Liu Mansion could take two steps, they heard the woman's voice blowing in their ears: "In the end, I am old, and my ears are deaf." It's really unlucky, how can you still be deaf when you meet someone in half a day? Let's go. ”
As soon as the woman finished speaking, she saw that everyone in the Liu Mansion who she had just asked turned around and walked in front of her.
Xue said with a smile: "Look, this lady in front of me is wearing the best Su embroidery. I don't know which house it is. How many times have I gone out with my mother in Beijing and haven't seen this lady? ”
The woman listened to Xue's smile and praised her clothes, and then looked at the costumes of the few people in front of her who were not particularly outstanding, and thought that everyone in the Liu Mansion was the family members of the last officials in Beijing. Yesterday, she also heard the will of the queen mother is all the officials in Beijing. Originally, she might not have come today, but the people from Liu's Mansion are also coming today.
She led the young lady of the house to the capital before the master. In a few days, her husband will also go to the capital to report on his work. This time, her husband will stay in the capital. Her husband's political performance is good. I heard that it can also make up for the lack of three products. So she wanted to enter Beijing because she wanted her sisters in Beijing to help her find a house.
So yesterday she happened to hear the will of the queen mother at her sister's place, and she thought that all the ladies should definitely arrive at the autumn garden party.
But people with too high grades will definitely not contact her easily, and those with too low grades will not be of much use to her at all.
So she finally set her sights on Liu Fu.
The eldest lord of Liu's Mansion is the secretary of the ministry. He is in charge of the appointment and dismissal, examination, promotion, transfer, and awarding of official officials across the country, and is the highest official of the Ministry of Officials, and is the head of the six central departments. It happens to be closely related to the future of her husband, and she has also heard in the past few days that the concubine of the eldest lord of the Liu Mansion is only twelve years old and has been invited to marry by the Seventh Prince, and the saint has given her marriage, not only these, but the concubine of the concubine of the Liu Mansion has also been serving by the queen's side for many days now.
Liu Fu can now be regarded as a real upstart.
Unexpectedly, after she came to this Zhuangzi, because of a moment of curiosity and resentment, the maid who had just taken them into Ziyuan said that there was nothing to do, so she rested in Ziyuan first, and to avoid getting lost, she took the young lady of the house and her submissive brother and daughter-in-law Chu Shi out for a walk, but she really got lost.
Who knew that when I saw a group of people who were not well-dressed, they casually asked how they got to Ziyuan, but they didn't speak.
She was angry for a while, and she only wanted to speak quickly, but she didn't know that the women in front of her were the people of the Liu Mansion she wanted to associate with the most, and she didn't know that the person she just said about the old lady's deafness was the mother of the Ministry of Shangshu.
At this time, as soon as Xue's words were finished, before she could speak complacently, she saw Xue Shi say to the old lady again: "Mother, Jingzhong said that you have come to many places, and you must have seen more of the world than your daughter-in-law with shallow eyes and noses, so you must also know the lady in front of you?"
The old lady smiled and said, "You are naughty again, when did the old man of all kinds of banquets in Beijing not bring a few of you?" You let your sister-in-law and siblings talk about it. This is the capital, a place where rules are everywhere, and most people in Beijing are rules. If you don't speak or do anything wrong, you can save yourself by losing face, but if you disgrace the whole house, the old body will not follow. ”
How could Xue not know that the old lady was singing a double reed with her. Most people in Beijing are rules, where did you, who we don't know and don't follow the rules, come from?
So Xue hurriedly said to the old lady: "My daughter-in-law knows, and I will not lie in the future!"
How could the woman not know that the two people in front of her meant to scold Huai.
But the woman felt too lazy to talk to the family members of those low-level officials, and when she reported the name of her husband, maybe a few people in front of her would not be good, and she would obediently curry favor and compensate.
So the woman said triumphantly, "It's normal that the ladies haven't seen me, and I only recently entered Beijing." My husband will also enter Beijing in a few days......"
Just as the woman was about to continue, the Yang family of Wu'an Houfu had already stepped forward and saluted the old lady and said, "Hello old lady."
The woman saw that Yang's clothes were not only luxurious but also novel, and at first glance they were not ordinary, and she immediately knew that Yang's grade should not be low.
Goodbye Yang saluted the old lady and was even more puzzled, but at this time there was already a faint anxiety in his heart.
After greeting each other, the Yang family and the Liu Mansion said with a smile: "The old lady came late, but she taught us to wait for a long time......
The old lady smiled and said, "After a while, there are some blockages on the road, so this is the time."
Yang also smiled and said: "There are indeed many people today, thanks to the large place of Ziyuan."
The woman was interrupted and left to dry. If the Yang family was not here, she would have left, and now she feels that the Yang family should not be low. At this point, she felt a little embarrassed.
Liu Qingsu said to the Yang family at this time, "How many cousins are there?"
Yang smiled and said, "They are still in Ziyuan, and their sisters in the mansion are not talking about you."
Liu Qingsu hurriedly said: "I also miss a few cousins, why don't you let a few cousins come to Qixiayuan and a few of our sisters can talk?"
In fact, Liu Qingsu was also quite entangled at this time, and somehow he happened to run into his aunt so quickly. If she doesn't speak, it's not good, and if she does, most people will have opinions about her, thinking that she is spoiled. The most important thing is that the eldest princess of Yushan did not let people call Wu'an Houfu to Qixiayuan, she doesn't think that the eldest princess of Yushan doesn't know that Wu'an Houfu will also come today.
In Liu Qingsu's opinion, today's incident itself has already given Liu Qingsu a lot of face.
Although Liu Qingsu has not been to Ziyuan and does not know the situation there, she can imagine how many people there are in Ziyuan even if all the officials in Beijing come. If it weren't for the eldest princess of Yushan to signal Yun Nuo to pass the word, she should have accompanied everyone in the Liu Mansion to Ziyuan.
Therefore, Liu Qingsu said that it is advisable to be a sister, which can be regarded as a compromise solution.
The relationship between the little sisters is good, and it's nothing, the most important thing is that aren't the elders of Wu'an Houfu still in Ziyuan? Isn't it any specialization?
Who knew that Yang's words made Liu Qingsu very surprised. (To be continued......)
