Chapter 117: Concubine Zhang beats soy sauce
Shangyang Palace is far away from the palace complex, Yutan follows the old eunuch who leads the way, far away you can see the top of the hall with glazed tiles and heavy eaves, the vermilion lacquer on the nine-curved cloister is mottled, it looks like it has not been repaired for one or two decades, the carved fence and jade masonry are reminiscent of the glory of the past, the palace maids and eunuchs are also a little old, it is inevitable to be lifeless, Yutan is a new face, along the road received several surprised eyes, rarely had to bow her head, the old eunuch took her to the place and withdrew.
Yutan raised his eyes and looked at it, and saw a black plaque, surrounded by gold edges, on which were the three golden characters of "Shangyang Palace".
A palace maid in charge of about thirty came out of the palace, wearing a half-worn royal blue wide-sleeved oblique long jacket, covered with a stone blue carved silk gown, and a half-old Tianshui green Luo skirt underneath, tall and strong, with a bit of carelessness in her demeanor, she looked at her and smiled, "This lady must be Fang Li's family?" The concubine was worried about it, and said that she would go in and say hello as soon as the lady came. ”
Yutan had to lower his eyebrows, and followed the palace maid in, the palace was tall and wide, and the momentum was solemn, and there was a row of deacons of the palace maid standing inside, and the palace maid held a half-old yellow satin futon and put it on the ground, through the curtain, there was a faint voice on the other side, and it was not true to hear it with an accent.
This is what it means to make her kowtow, how dare she not bow her head under the eaves of people, Yutan couldn't bear to kneel down in shame, "The courtier Fang Li asked the concubine to say goodbye." ”
The people behind the curtain stopped talking, and the people in the palace were a little quiet.
It's just a moment of kung fu and laughing loudly again, and he didn't mean to pay attention to her at all, Yutan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, these are all habitual methods, kowtow and don't scream, give her a dismount, scare her first, she is the wife of the prince of the Yingguo Mansion, and she has kowtowed according to etiquette, and she is not Concubine Zhang's servant girl.
Yutan sneered in his heart, simply stood up, and stood quietly aside, there was a gasping sound behind the curtain, obviously she didn't expect her to dare to stand up, and there was a buzzing sound over there.
Yutan looked at this palace, which seemed to be the place where Concubine Zhang entertained guests.
There are several table screens with exquisite carvings, during which there are many rare treasures of antique vases, and the riches and extravagances are exhausted, and the luxury can not be said for a while, there is a chair of golden silk nanmu on the ground, and the cushions of the big red five blessings are raised, and the twenty or thirty palace maids on that side do not even have the sound of panting, and there are bamboo curtains hanging high in front of Xiangfei, and there are two female officials on both sides of the curtain holding goose feather fans more than one person high.
After a long time, Yutan's legs were sore, and the concubine finally ordered someone to remove the curtain.
An old woman sat on a chair in the middle, but a dry and thin old lady, petite, her face still retained the beauty of the past, full of jewelry, the leader of the clothes had a bright yellow color, with a bit of luxury, with a wipe on her head, and a huge beaded flower on her sideburns, this must be Concubine Zhang, next to Concubine Zhang there was a middle-aged lady in her fifties, wearing the clothes of the princess, presumably Princess Baoyin, Prince Baoyin had long since stopped associating with these wealthy families, Yutan has never seen Princess Baoyin.
"It's the Fang Li clan standing below?" is so old, Concubine Zhang's voice is still soft and pleasant.
"The concubine was summoned, and the courtiers didn't dare not come."
Concubine Zhang looked at her with a critical eye, shook her head, and said to Princess Baoyin, "The eyebrows and eyes are not dignified enough, this son is too tall, and the child of the Fang family may not like it." ”
Yutan just lowered his head and didn't speak.
"It's been a few days since you married into the Fang family, why don't you know to enter the palace and say hello to the mourning family? I have to mourn and announce you in. ”
The old lady opened her mouth to reproach, her voice was still soft, Yutan raised her head in surprise and said, "My mother-in-law is the niece of the concubine Niangniang, and the married daughter of the Zhang family, the mother-in-law has long been a member of the Fang family, the courtiers are young and short-sighted, I really don't know that there are people with foreign surnames in the palace to ask for peace, and the Fang family also has rules, and the old lady is not good not to come." ”
No one has dared to talk to the concubine like that.
Concubine Zhang's face was a little unsightly, and Princess Baoyin next to her spoke, "Fang Li, you are still young, I don't know the rules of the old concubine, you will know it when you often enter the palace in the future, the old concubine is the most kind, but she loves the junior very much, the cousin of the Zhang family is gone at a young age, and the old concubine is often sad when she thinks about it, and the concubine thinks about you in her heart." ”
"Sitting"
Concubine Zhang whispered and commanded, and the palace maid moved over a small low bench.
It seems that the chair over there is not qualified to sit, Yutan had to thank him, from this point of view, Concubine Zhang is getting higher and higher.
I heard the old lady say softly, "The mourning family only has Caiyuan, a niece, and the mourning family has been sad all these years, but the mourning family lives in Shangyang Palace and can't see you, the mourning family announces that you come in to be the master with you, and you have been married into the Fang family for two months, that Fang Zheng's snake and scorpion heart, presumably everything is difficult with you, what grievances has the bride suffered in the Fang family, just talk to the mourning family, the mourning family is in charge with you." ”
"The mother-in-law of the family is generous, and she has never embarrassed the bride."
Concubine Zhang looked at her for a long time without speaking, and she really couldn't swallow this breath, so she sighed sadly, "It's good that I didn't embarrass you, the mourning family has done this in vain." ”
Yutan just lowered his head and didn't speak.
"The child of the Fang family is also out of breath now, the mourning family is happy, that child has been in trouble since he was a child, and now it is easy to grow up, you are afraid that you will not serve well, Feng Yansu grew up in front of the mourning family, she is also nineteen years old this year, you can take it back to be a sister."
The corners of Yutan's mouth curved slightly, "The courtiers thanked the concubine, and the concubine was thoughtful." ”
Concubine Zhang didn't seem to expect her to be so easy to speak, and she didn't know what to say for a while.
Princess Baoyin quietly lost her eyes, and a palace maid dressed in costume came over and blessed Yutan, "Feng Yansu has seen my sister." ”
The concubine's reward must also be the identity of a flat wife, Yutan was impatient to sit on this small stool, just took the opportunity to stand up, and returned the salute with a smile, "This sister agreed." ”
Concubine Zhang saw that she was interested, and also felt that she was much more pleasing to the eye, "The mourning family lives in this Shangyang Palace, and there is nothing around for a long time, this is still the jewelry that the mourning family wore when they were young, and now I will reward you." ”
The palace maid handed over a jewelry box, and Yutan took the thanks.
Feng Yansu's identity as a palace maid, if you want to get out of the palace, there are also some procedures, Concubine Zhang has already ordered someone to do it, "Yansu, you can go back with Fang Li's family, and when you get to the Fang family, you can help the mourning family take care of the son, don't forget to say hello to the mourning family, and when it comes to asking for peace every month, the two of you will come over together." ”
Concubine Zhang was about to say a few more words of encouragement, when the palace maid on duty outside came in and knelt on the ground, "Concubine Niangniang, the queen sent Liu Sanbian over, saying that she was going to summon Fang Li's family, and the time to meet her relatives had come, and it was time for Fang Li to go back." ”
Concubine Zhang unexpectedly showed a look of surprise, and Yutan also felt incredible in her heart.
What did the queen summon her to do?
Gracefully blessed with a salute, "Fang Li retired." ”
Feng Yansu knelt down and kowtowed to Concubine Zhang, choking, "The slave will think about the old lady's kindness." ”
Concubine Zhang bowed her head, saw that the two of her had gone out, and groaned, this Fang Li family was scheming, and Yan Su was afraid that she was not her opponent. Princess Baoyin has to go out after saying two sentences, and the relatives have time, and no matter how reluctant they are, they have to separate.
Princess Baoyin walked out of the palace, standing on the high steps, seeing a small sedan chair carried away, Feng Yansu followed behind the sedan chair, Princess Baoyin looked stunned, and hurriedly asked the palace maid on duty, "The queen sent a sedan chair over?" ”
What a face!
Even she, as the princess, had to walk on two legs in this deep palace, and Princess Baoyin stood in frustration for a while and had to go back.
Yutan sat in the small sedan chair to stabilize his mind, even the emperor she has seen, it is nothing to meet the queen's mother, but the courtesy given by the queen's mother is too high, it is inevitable that people will not think more, the sedan chair stopped near the Fengyi Palace, and the little eunuch with the deacon led the way forward, the Fengyi Palace has not been repaired for many years, and even the bluestone road under the feet has some cracks, the Zhaoming Emperor has not repaired the palace since he ascended the throne, and the magnificence is inevitably a little decaying.
The lady in charge greeted her and said with a smile, "Mrs. Fang is here, the queen is waiting, Mrs. Fang comes in with the slave." ”
Yutan's expression also carried a little humility.
Didn't enter the main hall, the female official led her through the door into the east room, all the way to see is very simple, here is the difference, the bed hung a bright yellow curtain, showing the majesty of the heavenly atmosphere, the table screen is just rosewood, the victory is in the carving exquisite, it is really ingenious, but it has also been used for many years.
On the chair by the window sat a beautiful woman in her thirties, could this be the queen's mother?
Yutan hesitated, it was really this lady who was too simple.
The queen stood up first and smiled, "You are the second lady of the Marquis of Anguo's mansion?" ”
Don't talk about Mrs. Fang, but talk about the second lady of Anguo Houfu.
Yutan hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, but was already helped up by the queen mother and looked at her with a smile.
"This palace is a few years older, and being your elder also makes it, but this palace doesn't want you to be polite, and this palace is the most impatient with these red tapes, and it's just a matter of worshipping during the festival, just get along casually on weekdays."
Where did Yutan dare to be presumptuous, and he had to kneel down to say goodbye, the queen mother held her shoulders and pretended to be angry, "It's all said that you are not allowed to be polite, this palace is looking for you to come over to talk, not to ask you to come and kowtow." ”
Yutan couldn't help but scream in her heart, what kind of politeness is this, what is the identity of the queen's old man, fortunately, Yutan has always been generous, her heart was pounding, and her face was still nothing, the queen took her hand to the chair by the window and sat down, of course Yutan refused to take a seat, but stood on the side.
The queen smiled slightly, and asked her to bring her another chair and put it in her hand.
The palace maid gave the tea and gently withdrew.
"Those who can enter this room don't have to talk about these false courtesies." The queen took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "Those kowtowers are in the hall over there, I don't like the hall, and I won't go over lightly, let them kowtow to the chair." ”
The queen mother covered her lips and smiled, her expression was a little lonely, she didn't call herself the palace, but you and I got up, Yutan felt that the queen was a little familiar, but she couldn't have seen it, and the queen didn't have anything to do, but she was gossiping with her, and ordered the palace people to serve a new snack.
The queen said slowly, talking about the practice of these dim sums, Yutan is also an expert in eating, and soon chatted with the queen, the queen was a little overjoyed, "I can't find anyone to talk to in the palace for many years, those people just know how to eat, where will they do it." ”
Took out a manuscript from the Duobao Pavilion, "This is still the recipe I made when I was young, and I don't have the energy to do it now, and no one eats it." The queen smiled self-deprecatingly, "The first time we met, I will give you something worthless." ”
That's a big face!
Yutan hurriedly thanked her, and the queen smiled slightly, "It's too late, this palace won't leave you in vain, the one outside is what Concubine Zhang rewarded your husband with?" ”
Yutan nodded, and the queen ordered, "Tell her to come in and see the palace." ”
Feng Yansu knelt down and kowtowed, and the queen looked at her for a while, "You are Concubine Zhang's person, you must be a person who knows etiquette, you must know what you can do and what you can't do when you arrive at the Fang family, you must know what you can do and what you can't do, keep your slave and maid's duty, it's useless to think about it if it's not what you deserve, and in the end it will harm yourself." ”
Feng Yansu was so frightened that she kowtowed again and again, and the queen ordered someone to pass a sedan chair to send Mrs. Fang out of the palace.
It's really a face-saving one. R1152
