Chapter 296: Reception
Early the next morning, after breakfast, Zhu Guli entered the palace early, and Zhou Xiaofu practiced the physical skills alone in the courtyard where she practiced the exercises, and then washed and changed into a set of palace clothes.
Ziling specially changed a more complex bun, so that the thick hair became a blooming peony flower at the back of the head, which was very rich and noble.
And the color of the clothes on the head is also inserted into the head of the emerald head, and the face that was originally still a little childish looks particularly mature and rich.
This is the first time Zhou Xiaofu has dressed up like this after returning to the door that day, and it is really hard to dress up like this.
First of all, this is so that the head and face can be tightly inserted on the head, and my hair is tied very tightly, and my hair is also smeared with a lot of hair oil, which is simply a big piece of unknown object.
Then you have to pay attention to walking, sitting and the like, if you are not careful, it is easy to mess up the dress.
The weather in early September was neither hot nor cold, Zhou Xiaofu wore a long-sleeved skirt and felt that it was just right, and as soon as she cleaned up and drank tea there, she heard Cuihua come to report with a smile: "Princess, the eldest lady is here." ”
Zhou Xiaofu raised her eyes slightly, put down the tea bowl in her hand and asked, "Why are you so happy, who is here?" ”
Cuihua smiled: "The slave likes the princess to dress up like this, it's too imposing." The eldest lady came alone with a few young ladies, and the others did not. ”
Zhou Xiaofu nodded, stretched out her hand and gently supported the bun on the back of her head, and said a little sadly: "It's too hard to dress up like this." ”
Cuihua covered her mouth and smiled softly, then looked at the disgusted Ziling and said, "Zining's craftsmanship is getting better and better." This peony flower bun is only popular in the palace, and you can comb it so well after seeing it once. ”
Ziling smiled and stepped forward to help Zhou Xiaofu straighten out her skirt before saying, "It's nothing difficult to learn, it's just that the princess doesn't like such a gorgeous and complicated bun." Otherwise, I'd be willing to comb my hair in a different bun every day. ”
Zhou Xiaofu said with a smile: "Let people come directly to my yard." ”
Cuihua answered the promise and went to pass the word.
Zhou Xiaofu got up and checked her clothes, and when she saw that Cuihua was back, she walked to the hall with the two of them.
As soon as I entered the hall, I saw a few maids serving tea and snacks to the ladies sitting in a circle.
Zhou Xiaofu met her mother's family here for the first time since she got married.
As soon as I came in, I heard Cuihua singing next to me: "The princess has arrived." ”
He got up and hurriedly led people to get up and salute to greet him, He didn't ask Zhou Xiaofu to let her be exempted directly, because on the day of returning to the door, Zhou Xiaofu and the prince also asked Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Zhou to be exempted, and they all got up after saluting.
And Zhou Xiaoxuan on the side also saluted seriously, which made Zhou Xiaofu raise her eyebrows and look at her in surprise, and then saw Zhou Xiaolan raise her eyebrows and blink.
The corners of Zhou Xiaofu's mouth rose slightly. He nodded slowly, and then smiled decently and let everyone sit down.
As soon as he sat down, He asked Zhou Xiaofu with a smile on his face whether he was healthy, whether he was assassinated in hunting, and of course how the prince and the concubine were.
Zhou Xiaofu just answered some things according to the facts. Then Zhou Xiaofu simply asked Mrs. Zhou's health status and the like, all of which were just pleasantries.
Zhou Xiaoxuan, who was on the side, stared at Zhou Xiaofu's gorgeous and complicated clothes in a daze, with deep eyes, with a gloomy expression that should not be the appearance of an eleven-year-old girl.
Yes, she was jealous. originally knew that Zhou Xiaofu was given marriage. After a long time and under the comfort of her mother, she slowly felt that it was the same thing, but as Zhou Xiaofu got married, a lot of dowries that could not be filled, and then there was a grand wedding, and then there was the unstoppable momentum on the day of returning, yes, the super princess.
The mother's appeasement no longer worked, and all that was left was full of jealousy. Originally, my mother didn't let her come here today, because she was afraid that she would not be able to hold back when she saw that Zhou Xiaofu was doing well. Now this mourning eldest daughter is not in the mansion at that time, you can feel free to contradict a few words, now she is a super first-class princess, if she is insulting, you can directly report to the Zongren Mansion, where the Zongren Mansion is, specializing in the management of the royal family.
But the more I saw this, the more calm Zhou Xiaoxuan became, yes, what my mother said before was right, I was too panicked, I showed everything on my face, such a person can't do big things.
After a brief greeting from everyone, they heard Cuihua come to report: "Princess, the princess asked you to take the eldest lady to the garden together, and your aunt is here, so you can meet together." ”
Zhou Xiaofu nodded and smiled and asked for He's opinion.
He Shi couldn't wait to get out of his body and walk around, it was too tiring to sit upright all the time, this niece was so aura, she didn't want to meet so tired.
He and the maid were led to walk in front, while Zhou Xiaofu paused and fell behind with Zhou Xiaolan.
And Zhou Xiaoxuan's salute that suddenly became extremely eye-catching this time went ahead.
Zhou Xiaohu also saluted and left.
Zhou Xiaobin said with a smile: "Fourth sister, I'll go to the front first, I know you must have something to say to your sister." ”
Zhou Xiaofu smiled and nodded, and let Cuihua lead them away.
The two who were lagging behind smiled slightly, and Zhou Xiaolan spoke first: "Aren't you tired of dressing up like this?" ”
Zhou Xiaofu suddenly said with a deflated smile: "I'm about to lose it, I'm so tired." ”
Zhou Xiaolan smiled and stretched out his hand to wipe Zhou Xiaofu's hair bun, and said with a smile: "How much oil does this have to be applied to finalize it." ”
Zhou Xiaofu smiled and said, "Two catties." ”
The two smiled and walked forward slowly, Zhou Xiaofu suddenly thought of the prince's words last night, so she said to Zhou Xiaolan: "You go back and tell the second uncle, the prince intends to let him go." ”
Zhou Xiaolan was stunned for a moment, stopped and said, "Let Daddy go out?" ”
Zhou Xiaofu looked around lightly and said, "It's Donghang Salt and Iron Division." ”
Zhou Xiaolan is a native of ancient times, and she is a noble daughter who grew up in an official family. Since she was a child, she knows these official positions very well, and she knows how fat the official position of the Salt and Iron Division is. It's not something that anyone can get if they want it.
Seeing Zhou Xiaolan's unbelieving look of raising his eyebrows, Zhou Xiaofu suddenly thought of Zhu Guli saying that his pillow was windy last night, and immediately laughed, this is amazing, people don't believe it.
Some angrily said: "Why don't you believe it." ”
Zhou Xiaolan smiled embarrassedly: "It's not that I don't believe it, it's that this position is too rare, how is it possible." ”
Zhou Xiaofu smiled seriously: "Originally, the eldest uncle looked for the prince and wanted to ask for this missing child. But the prince felt that the second uncle was more suitable. ”
Zhou Xiaolan looked shocked, originally the eldest uncle was looking for the prince and wrote a letter to Zhou Xiaofu when he got the news, but he didn't expect this eldest uncle to be so greedy. actually went straight to the next level, and wanted such a shortage.
Zhou Xiaofu nodded and said, "After you wrote the letter, I asked the prince, and what the prince meant, the emperor wants to give this position to someone who can be trusted." So the prince recommended the second uncle. This should be decided soon. ”
Zhou Xiaolan was suddenly in a fog, he didn't expect that his fourth sister would be so powerful after becoming the princess, and suddenly looked at Zhou Xiaofu with wide eyes and surprise.
Zhou Xiaofu suddenly said angrily: "I didn't say anything about this, it was the prince who decided to tell me, let me meet you today, let you tell your second uncle, don't be in a hurry when the time comes." ”
Zhou Xiaolan said with some amusement: "I thought you blew the pillow wind and asked for a good position for your second uncle, but it turned out that I thought too much." ”
Zhou Xiaofu suddenly reached out and patted Zhou Xiaolan's shoulder with some amusement before saying, "I just don't know what the eldest uncle's house is going to be." ”
Zhou Xiaolan said with a slightly gloomy face: "No." There's a grandfather here who won't make a fuss. ”
Yes, in front of that grandfather. That son can have a position, as long as he is from their Zhou family.
When the two arrived at the garden, they had already set up a table with snacks and fruits, and He Shi had already sat down at the table.
There was also a woman with a somewhat dark face sitting there, and when she saw Zhou Xiaofu, she didn't get up and salute, this person was the one who ran to her room on the day of marriage.
There was also a young man with a thick cream on his face, his eyes were a little slanted, and when he saw Zhou Xiaofu, he didn't salute and asked directly: "Cousin-in-law, cousin, why haven't we come for so long, isn't it that cousin-in-law didn't tell cousin that we came." ”
Zhou Xiaofu frowned and glanced at the girl up and down, looked up and down and did not reply, but turned her head to the concubine sitting at the top and said: "Mother, the daughter-in-law is late, this is the second sister of the daughter-in-law's mother's family, and the relationship was very good before she left the cabinet, so now I have more words." ”
And Zhou Xiaolan saluted the concubine steadily, and then took a seat.
The girl suddenly stopped doing it, what does this mean, why don't you answer if you ask yourself, the woman with a dark complexion on the side stood up and saluted Zhou Xiaofu and smiled slightly: "Nephew and daughter-in-law, I'm really embarrassed, Lian'er is young and a little pampered." ”
There is nothing wrong with this.
Zhou Xiaofu laughed angrily: "I don't know which aunt you are, this is the one called Lian'er." ”
This called Lian'er suddenly stood up and cried to the concubine with an angry look: "Auntie, look, you see her bullying me. ”
Concubine Chang's head suddenly became bigger, there are still outsiders here, and the mother's family suddenly said a little angrily without giving face: "Lian'er, this is not your family, my daughter-in-law is a super princess, it's just a matter of not saluting when you meet, and you are still so pampered, your rules are to let the dog eat it." ”
Zhou Xiaofu's face did not change.
This made Lian'er's aggrieved eyes red, and then the black-faced woman quickly got up and pulled the girl to salute and said: "This is your cousin, Chang Zailian, 16 years old this year, what about me, it's your eldest aunt, I forgot to introduce it in a hurry last time, and I don't blame the princess for not recognizing it." ”
Zhou Xiaofu didn't get up and said lightly: "If you're here, you're welcome, sit down." ”
Concubine Chang suddenly felt that her face was gone, this mother's family was too faceless, even if she didn't want to see her daughter-in-law, don't be like this in front of people, her daughter-in-law, she is usually good-natured, and her mother's family is so rude when they meet this time, and they suddenly feel a little dizzy.
Zhou Xiaofu's eyes swept, and suddenly found that the concubine was falling backwards a little unwell, and quickly got up and grabbed the person.
All of a sudden, everyone was a little panicked, and the one named Chang Zailian screamed: "Oh, my aunt was stunned by my cousin." ”
Zhou Xiaolan looked at it coldly, instructed the maid next to him to bring ice cubes, and hurriedly asked people to ask for a doctor.
Everyone here sent Concubine Chang to the courtyard together.
Zhou Xiaofu scanned it with mental power, and it was no big deal, but she was a little angry.
Soon the doctor came, and after checking for a while, he told him that it was a lack of qi and blood, and he had not recovered from the shock before, so he would be dizzy when he was nervous.
At this time, Zhu Guli walked in, looked at Zhou Xiaofu a little nervously and asked.
Before Zhou Xiaofu could speak, she saw a fragrant breeze wafting in, and Chang Zailian cried: "Cousin, my aunt was stunned by my cousin. ”
Zhou Xiaofu was speechless for a moment, and glanced coldly at the girl who had already stepped forward and was about to approach Zhu Guli.
Zhu Guli seemed to be able to perceive it, and couldn't help but take a step back and said indifferently: "Cousin, please stay a little farther away, don't get too close, men and women can't kiss." ”
Everyone's eyes widened, and Zhou Xiaoxuan suddenly burst out laughing, Zhou Xiaolan reluctantly accepted Zhou Xiaolan's marriage to the prince, but this is the village girl from there who actually made such a style, she is here to be funny.
Chang Zailian couldn't hold back, with panic on his face, and suddenly heard someone laughing, and suddenly blushed and said in shame: "Who, who laughs, who dares to laugh at me, I asked my cousin to cut her tongue." ”
Zhou Xiaofu suddenly became angry and sneered: "Yo, I didn't know that my father-in-law was so cruel." ”
Without waiting for the woman to say anything, she said: "Everyone, please move to the flower hall to eat, the concubine is unwell now, and there really can't be too many people making noise here." ”
When everyone heard this, they all got up and prepared to leave.
And Zhu Guli sat on the edge of the bed and watched the concubine with his wife.
Chang Zailian suddenly wanted to step forward with some annoyance, Zhou Xiaofu opened her eyes wide and stimulated the woman's brain.
I saw that Chang Zailian was suddenly frightened and hurriedly ran out, shouting in his mouth as he ran, there are ghosts, ghosts.
The meal was eaten very quietly, and Chang Zailian fainted for a while after going crazy for some reason, while Zhou Xiaofu personally sent He away.
Before leaving, Qian He was a little squeaky and wanted to say something, Zhou Xiaofu said directly: "The holy decree will come in a few days." ”
One sentence directly made He happy to the sky and clouds, it was so enjoyable.
Zhou Xiaofu said lightly: "It's just that I just said that I would give that position to our Zhou Mansion, and I can't decide who the prince will give it to." ”
He was very satisfied and gratefully left.
And Zhou Xiaolan looks like you are a bad person.
Zhou Xiaofu said to Zhou Xiaohu, who was leaving: "I often come to play with my sisters when I have time." ”
made Zhou Xiaohu leave with gratitude.
And the aunt of the Chang family will be sent away in the afternoon, before leaving, Zhou Xiaofu directly turned her face and looked at them coldly, if Chang Zailian is like this, don't come to the palace, the palace can't afford to lose this person.
The eldest daughter-in-law of the Chang family also knew that her daughter was too embarrassed today, so she seemed to be crazy, and nodded helplessly. (To be continued......)
