Chapter 33: Once upon a time
"The grandson and granddaughter of the Shen Xiang family?" Ning Shumei turned his head, frowned slightly, and asked, "Who is it?" ”
"It's a son and a daughter of the Situ family." Lu Ruilan looked at Xie Dongli, "The eldest lady of the Situ family also left a prescription for the fifth brother, and the rash quickly faded." ”
"Oh, it's her!" Ning Shumei was a little interested, "This girl is very good, I heard that my mother has been gone for a long time, and my brother is a fool." Sister-in-law, you said that Miss Shen Xiang's family, who can't marry? Even if you marry into the palace to be a mother, it is enough to be qualified, why do you marry someone like the Situ family? ”
Lu Ruilan smiled and scooped a spoonful of soup, and said, "Yes, I can enter the palace to be a mother, but if the girl of the Shen family becomes a mother, Shen Xiang will only have to return to his hometown." Which girl from the five-phase family have you seen enter the palace and be a mother? ”
"That's right." Ning Shumei thought for a while, "It's still my sister-in-law who has insight." Not only the Wuxiang family, but even our Sanhou Mansion, there is no girl who enters the palace to be a mother. ”
"yes. The royal family chooses concubines, and they are all selected below, not in people like the three marquis and five prime ministers. Xie Dongyi followed and said, "Our emperor is not as good as the emperors of Northern Qi and Southern Zheng, and now he is almost sixty years old, and he only has one queen Yuan, two concubines, and now this successor." ”
Because of this, the heirs of the Yuan royal family were very difficult.
Chen Qi gave birth to three sons, the eldest prince died at the age of seven, and the second prince died at the age of three. Chen Qi himself died in childbirth when he gave birth to his third son, and the third son died at birth.
Only today's successor, Qi Xueyun, the princess of Northern Qi, gave birth to a chubby son when she got married and became the crown prince.
But when the crown prince was fifteen years old, he couldn't afford to fall ill and passed away soon, leaving behind a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, which are now the crown prince Yuan Yingjia and the princess Yuan Yinglan, who have just turned fifteen.
Lu Ruilan coughed and interrupted Xie Dongyi's words: "Let's eat, don't talk about these things." He asked again: "Shen Xiang's banquet is set up three days later, and if you want to go, tell the steward of the outer courtyard earlier, and they will prepare the vehicle." ”
The people at the table answered, and after dinner, they dispersed.
Xie Dongli was the last to get up, and when he walked out, Lu Ruilan stopped him, "Fifth brother, Shen Xiang's family banquet in three days, if you are uncomfortable, you don't have to go, I ......"
"I'll go." Xie Dongli said briefly.
Lu Ruilan: "......"
Xie Dongli has never been interested in these banquets, and rarely goes to other people's houses as guests, why do you want to go to Shen's house?
Lu Ruilan looked at him suspiciously.
Xie Dong's face did not change, and he said: "Recently, Wen Shu, I don't understand some things, and I just want to talk to Shen Xiang about it." ”
Although Xie Donglan was enlightened to him by his sister-in-law Lu Ruilan when he was a child, Xie Dongli has long been better than the blue, and his knowledge is already beyond Lu Ruilan's ability.
Five years ago, Xie Dongli was only thirteen years old, and he entered Taixue unusually, and in Taixue, he became a sensation because of his poetry and debate with his classmates about national policies, and he won the title of "Xie Lang is the most talented".
His talent and learning also attracted the attention of the great prime minister Shen Youxing, and in his spare time from official duties, he sometimes went to Taixue to test Xie Donglian's knowledge, and he had a half-teacher friendship.
"It turned out that I wanted to see Shen Xiang." Lu Ruilan nodded with relief: "It's time to meet Shen Xiang." Autumn is coming soon, so you might as well talk to him. ”
……
In Situ's mansion, Situ Yingsleeve sat in front of the window and read to Situ Chenlei.
"Heaven to earth, rain to wind. Continents against the sky. Mountain flowers to sea trees, red sun to the sky. The thunder is faint and foggy. The sun goes down against the sky. The wind is high and the autumn moon is white, and the rain is red at sunset. The cow girl is about the two star rivers, and the two Yao fights in the west and the east. In October, the sassy frost frightened the brigade; On the Sandong River, the snow is cold and the fish are cold. ”
Situ Chenlei hugged Xiao Meow and followed Situ Ying's sleeve over and over again, but he couldn't remember it.
Situ Yanxiang learned to do needlework next to him, and said with a smile: "Sister, let's have a cup of tea." You and Xiao Lei have been studying all night. ”
Situ Chenlei yawned, and his head was already pecked.
Situ Yingsleeve touched his head, "Go to sleep." Go to bed earlier at night and wake up earlier in the morning. ”
Situ Chenlei's maids Xiao Tao and Xiao Xing came over and took Situ Chenlei to the bedroom to sleep.
Now Situ Chenlei and Situ Yingsleeve live in the bedroom east of the main hall of Zhiguitang.
The room was large, and it was divided into two rooms by Situ Yingsleeve with Duobao Pavilion, one of which was for Situ Chenlei to sleep on, and the two little maids slept on the footrest in front of the lacquered bed at night, so as to take care of him.
The outside room is occupied by Situ Yingsleeve.
She didn't sleep on the step-up bed, but on the arhat bed with a three-sided collar of rosewood under the south window.
The bed was covered with a thick mattress, a thin quilt of cicada wing yarn, an embroidered pillow smoked with orchids, and two big red lock brocade boxy pillows, which were piled up to the foot of the bed when I slept at night, and placed against the wall during the day as cushions.
Situ Chenlei followed the two maids away, and Situ Ying's maids Cai Qin and Cai Sang also came to urge her to go to sleep.
Situ Yingsleeve said to Situ Darkincense: "Darkincense, it's late, don't do needlework, be careful of hurting your eyes." ”
Like in the previous life, Situ Dianxiang has a strong interest in needlework and is very talented.
In this life, Situ Yingsleeve helped her find the best embroidery girl in the capital, Hu Yunniang, and signed a five-year contract to teach Situ dark incense embroidery.
Situ Yanxiang has always regretted that he could not worship Hu Yunniang as a teacher in his last life.
Later, Hu Yunniang entered the palace as an embroiderer, and created the famous Liuyun Needle Method and Feidu Needle Method, and the embroidered flowers, birds, insects, fish and characters are all vivid and vivid, and they forget the vulgar.
At that time, their father Situ Jianren spent thousands of dollars to collect the Baimei pictures and pine crane longevity pictures embroidered by Hu Yunniang himself, and specially studied them for Situ Dianxiang.
This time, Situ Darkincense fulfilled his wish, and their family could also save this amount of silver.
Situ Yanxiang nodded, put down the needle and thread, stood up and rubbed his eyes, walked two steps, and then turned back and said embarrassedly: "Sister, I want to go to my sister's grandfather's house with my sister in two days, I want to ask my sister, what kind of clothes should I wear?" ”
She originally discussed with her mother Zhang's family to get some clothes to go to Shen's house as a guest.
As a result, they all felt that it was inappropriate, and they knew almost nothing about the Shen family.
Zhang said, "Go and ask your sister." She lets you wear whatever she tells you to wear. ”
Situ Darkincense responded, and finally found a chance to ask Situ Yingsleeve.
Situ Yingsleeve thought for a while and said, "Dad called a needlework person for our sister a few days ago to come over and tailor it for us. I think you should wear the new clothes that your father made for you. ”
Situ Dark's eyes lit up, and she said happily: "Can I wear that red and gold thread dress?" ”
That skirt is not bad, but too good and luxurious, Situ Dian Xiang is only eight years old, and her eyebrows and eyes are small and delicate, and she can't hold it up in such a luxurious dress for the time being, and she doesn't have that momentum.
Situ Yingsleeve pursed her lips and persuaded her with a smile: "Let's wear that pearl pink shirt dress, I remember that the shirt is a short shirt with pipa buttons, and the skirt is embroidered with white begonias like flowers and brocades, which is also very beautiful." ”
