Until Shenshi, Cuihua came to report that the chief embroiderer in the house had come, brought a few sets of clothes, and asked Zhou Xiaofu to choose, and if it was not suitable, she would change it on the spot.

Zhou Xiaofu cleaned her face, let Cuihua comb her hair in a simple bun, changed into a cotton pullover, and went out.

I saw that there was already a housekeeper's mother and a younger woman waiting in the small hall with some clothes.

Seeing Zhou Xiaofu come out, the two immediately saluted respectfully.

Zhou Xiaofu nodded quietly and sat on the chair on the side, and Cuihua immediately made tea and brought it up.

I saw that the young woman first handed over a bunch of clothes to the housekeeper mother next to her, then picked up the top one and unfolded it on her chest, and then looked up at Zhou Xiaofu.

Seeing that Zhou Xiaofu was expressionless, the woman put it down and continued to pick up the others to show Zhou Xiaofu in turn.

When it was all over, the woman bent down and reported, "Miss Fu, there are four sets of skirts in total, I don't know which one you prefer to wear for tomorrow and the ceremony." ”

When Zhou Xiaofu heard it, this meant that these four sets were hers, but she had to pick out one set and change it to fit it for tomorrow, this aunt is really generous.

Zhou Xiaofu smiled and said: "I look good, just the fourth set, the color is a little more elegant, so it won't rob the color of the eldest cousin." ”

The woman smiled slightly when she heard this and said, "Miss Fu's vision is really good, this fourth set is a light red plum blossom with a white background, which can deepen your already good temperament." ”

Zhou Xiaofu smiled when she heard this, the maid steward of the General's Mansion has good rules, and she won't watch people cook, which is all due to the management of her aunt.

No wonder the general's mansion values the head of the house Ai's, this Ai's is really capable.

After the measurements were taken, everyone dispersed, and the woman said that the clothes would be delivered in the evening, so that the next day's ceremony would not be delayed.

The General's Mansion is bustling with preparations for the eldest granddaughter's ceremony, but a major event has happened in Kyoto.

The new emperor has been attacked again.

Since the founding of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, the new emperor Zhu Lizhi is the fourth generation of emperors.

The founding emperor of the Kaiyuan Dynasty was originally named Zhu Daxiang, was born as a peasant, the founding emperor disliked people the most that he was uneducated, and after he ascended the throne, he let all the scholars discuss to change his name to Zhu Legend, the name of the legend, implying that the founding emperor is a generation of legends of the Kaiyuan Dynasty.

Zhu Legend since 1243 A.D. called the emperor founded the Kaiyuan Dynasty, reigned for 35 years, at the age of 75 abdicated to his 35-year-old second son Zhu Suinian, set up the era name Sui Xing.

Zhu Suinian is a figure that has to be said, this person is the longest-lived emperor, the longest-reigning emperor, and the emperor with the most children.

Zhu Sui succeeded to the throne at the age of 25 and abdicated at the age of 75. He reigned for fifty years. Of course, he is the emperor with the most merits in the Kaiyuan Dynasty.

The first is to open schools in various towns and villages, providing opportunities for the majority of students who cannot afford to read, as long as they can pass the exam, they only need to pay the most basic fees to enter the school to study, but only for Mongolian learning.

The second is to set up incorruptible medical bureaus in the government offices of small and medium-sized towns to provide free medical treatment and prescribe medicines at cost price, which is really a good news for the common people who cannot afford to see a doctor.

The third is to organize personnel to compile the "Sui Year Canon", which records and preserves all the historical and geographical, literary and artistic, philosophical and religious and encyclopedic documents in the second and third years of the first and third years of the A.D. The "Great Dictionary of the Sui Years" has a total of more than 22,000 volumes, 60 volumes of the table of contents alone, and is divided into more than 10,000 volumes, with a total of about 370 million words.

It's a creation act.

Needless to say, the establishment of Tanggu Customs, this emperor has the longest lifespan, and he also knows how to make good use of people and does a lot of things.

But there is one regret that makes the second emperor Zhu Suinian's life.

He had thirty-three children, and there were thirty princesses, and there were only three princes, and he was once called the father-in-law emperor among the people.

The eldest son of the queen, Zhu Guxin, was fifty-five years old when he abdicated, and the second son was born to a talented person before his abdication, and he was only five years old when he abdicated, and the third son was only three months old.

The top ones are too old, and the bottom ones are toddlers. It was impossible to pass on the throne to his eldest son, Zhu Guxin, as the third generation of emperors.

After Zhu Guxin succeeded to the throne, ** was more chaotic than the previous dynasties, and his first three sons all died, either poisoned or drowned, and his means were impossible to prevent.

Three generations of emperors made their fifth son the crown prince in a fit of anger, so as not to cause further trouble. It was Zhu Lizhi, the son of the queen who was only thirteen years old at the time.

Zhu Guxin died after nine years of reign, and folk legend has it that several forces added colorless and tasteless poison to the prince's ginseng soup for the sake of imperial power, and even silver needles could not detect it. And the emperor was also there at that time, and when the prince saw that the emperor was coughing, he saluted the emperor and drank it, and the emperor was poisoned.

But in order to cover up this fact, it was rumored that the emperor died of overwork.

But these are just legends.

Later, Zhu Lizhi, who was only 22 years old, succeeded to the throne with the age name Lijing.

As soon as Zhu Lizhi succeeded to the throne for three years, he was assassinated no less than 20 times, which is equivalent to once every half a month.

And this time in the imperial garden, the fourth generation of emperor Zhu Lizhi and Concubine Li were enjoying the flowers together, and suddenly a large number of assassins appeared, and Concubine Li actually threw down the emperor and ran away, and finally the Royal Forest Army appeared to rescue the driver and wiped out the bandits instantly.

And this runaway Concubine Li was miserable, she was directly demoted to Jieyu, and was ordered by the emperor to move out of the Huaxi Palace where she originally lived.

This so-called Huaxi Palace is not only close to the palace where the emperor lives, but also has a small rockery, flowing water, a small garden, and a particularly good environment.

I am talking about this here because this Concubine Li and Zhou Xiaofu also have a certain relationship, because Concubine Li is Zhou Lanlan, the youngest daughter of the old lady of the Zhou Mansion.

There is an unwritten rule in the Kaiyuan Dynasty draft, and the daughters of every family official in each generation can run for the emperor's show girl.

But if there is already a woman in the family who serves the emperor in the palace, then no one can be sent in.

If you still want to send your daughter to the palace, you can only wait for the next generation of women, or the one sent in is no longer alive.

The prince does not count again.

That is to say, your family has two daughters, one is married to the emperor, and the other is married to the emperor's younger brother, which is okay.

Here, Zhou Xiaofu continued to practice the exercises in the house after changing her clothes, and just when it was about to dinner, another maid came to pass the word, saying that the fifth aunt was calling her to go to their yard and have dinner together.

I had no choice but to put it on again and take this green flower with the little girl.

Along the way, the little girl kept looking back at herself, Zhou Xiaofu was inexplicable, what does this mean, just give Cuihua a look, this Cuihua is confused about small things, but she never travels for big things, and every time Zhou Xiaofu's instructions can be sensed instantly.

It will be there in a short time, and this is the westernmost courtyard of the house, 'Shihuayuan'.

This is a little smaller than my aunt's yard, but it is much more delicately arranged.

The south side of the corridor is a small rockery, behind the rockery is a small moon gate, it is estimated that the small courtyard over there is Wang Lehe's small courtyard, otherwise it will not be so close.

The maid immediately opened the curtain and invited Zhou Xiaofu in, but before she had time to look at the furnishings of the room, she saw the fifth uncle and the fifth aunt sitting on the round table waiting for her. I didn't see Wang Lehe.

Hurry up and salute.

After Zhou Xiaofu took a seat, he asked, "Fifth uncle, why don't you see Lehe." ”

Wang Qingchen said: "He'er is eating in your eldest cousin's room, and the maid has already passed the word back." ”

Sima Shi said with a smile on the side: "Sister Fu'er, your little cousin is as big as your eldest cousin's Pei Han, the two of them are often good and like a person, and they are often noisy. ”

Zhou Xiaofu smiled and said, "Fifth aunt, yes, children are like this." ”

The three of them all smiled, and then Sima suddenly said, "You guys talk about it first, and I'll go and see the clothes you will wear tomorrow." ”

After speaking, he glanced at Wang Qingchen and turned around and left.

On the table, Zhou Xiaofu and Wang Qingchen were left with big eyes and small eyes.

At this time, Wang Qingchen spoke: "Tomorrow, your eldest cousin and Lu Li, I heard your little aunt say that you are a praiser." ”

Zhou Xiaofu nodded and said, "Back to the fifth uncle, yes, I know it at noon today." ”

Wang Qingchen nodded and continued: "Tomorrow you stand next to your eldest cousin, pay attention and see if there are any strange female guests." ”

Zhou Xiaofu was stunned for a moment and asked, "Fifth uncle, what is a strange female guest?" ”

Wang Qingchen coughed and said, "It's just that the words and deeds are a little strange, and if you come again, you will be able to martial arts." Keep an eye on it, and talk to me and your grandfather when the banquet is over, but if there is something urgent, you should tell me in time. ”

Zhou Xiaofu nodded and said, "Fifth uncle, I wrote it down." "But I thought in my heart, what urgent matter can there be for a girl from the general's family, and she is not a royal princess, this arrangement is really strange.

Seeing that Sima Shi also happened to come out of the bedroom, he said with a smile: "The meal is ready, come, Sister Fu'er, clean your hands, hurry up to this table to eat." ”

Dinner is a few porridge dishes, but the dishes are very rich, I think everyone knows this, you can eat it yourself.

After eating, he went back to the small courtyard where he lived temporarily with Cuihua, and asked Cuihua about the situation on the way, and Cuihua said with a look of embarrassment.

It turned out that the entire General's Mansion knew that the eldest lady of this aunt's family couldn't eat enough in the Zhou Mansion.

Zhou Xiaofu went back to find Mother Lan with a black line, this is all her, it must be that she and her grandmother said that she ate too much, and was mistaken for not having enough to eat.

But who is it, who eats so much breakfast, and deserves to be misunderstood.
