Chapter 270: Jingzhong (3)
Zhen Xuan took Tao Aya and Xing Aya to Shilang's Mansion.
The carriage didn't stop until it reached the second gate, Zhen Xuan got out of the car, and saw Aunt He standing on the side waiting for her.
Aunt He's eyebrows were crooked, and she said with a smile: "Grandma is here, and the fourth lady has been asking when you will come early in the morning." ”
Zhen Xuan had lived in the Shilang Mansion, and she still remembered the way here, so she went to the Duan family's house with Aunt He first.
Turning through a door, red joy came to my face.
The red silk and red lanterns have been hung up, and it is lively when you look at it.
Aunt He saw Zhen Xuan watching, and said with a smile: "I'm working on these today, and in the afternoon, it should be hung up outside." ”
Zhen Xuan nodded, walked outside the Duan family's house and paused slightly, looking up at the two largest red lanterns.
She thought about that year.
In the spring of that year, the Shilang Mansion was also so jubilant, and the Duan family hung up all the places that could be hung, and the places where the word "Xi" could be pasted, and everything was properly prepared.
Who knows, something happened like that.
Aunt He asked the servants to hurriedly withdraw the red, but she couldn't wipe the wounds left in her heart.
On that day, Zhenlin wore red makeup.
"Auntie?"
Hearing Aunt He's voice, Zhen Xuan woke up and asked her with her eyes.
Aunt He said, "Auntie, wait a minute, the slave maid will go in and take a look at the wife." ”
Zhen Xuan's head.
Seeing Aunt He enter the house, Zhen Xuan took a deep breath.
Zhen Lin is about to usher in a new life, and she will get on the sedan chair tomorrow, Zhen Xuan can't still remember those painful pasts, she should forget about it.
Aunt He and the Duan family passed the word. came out again to welcome Zhenxuan.
Zhen Xuan went in. I saw Duan sitting in the middle. Talking carefully with Aunt Li, Cao Shi was flipping through the brochure on the side, and she stepped forward to call out.
Duan smiled and pulled Zhen Xuan to his side and said, "With your help, I have successfully arrived in the capital, and I have no time to greet you in the past few days." ”
Zhen Xuan shook her head slightly: "The matter of the fourth sister is important. ”
"Good boy, since you're here, let's go talk to your fourth sister." Duan pressed his swollen eyebrows, "It's really worrying about marrying a daughter." ”
Cao Shi burst out laughing when he heard this. said: "Sister-in-law, you have three daughters, and when the four girls get married tomorrow, there will be only one left, the big head is gone, and the little head is still worried." It's not like me, it's still a zero. ”
Duan Shi was amused, nodded and said, "What a big head and what a zero, you and I will always have one more experience." ”
After Cao finished laughing, he looked down at tomorrow's banquet arrangement. Aunt He lined up and set up a few tables. Where to put it, what kind of dishes to serve, what bowls and plates to use, and what kind of wine vessels to match, everything is particular.
Aunt He took a lot of thought into this list.
Aunt He is a female dependent in the Shilang Mansion, and there are no banquets at home, and there are not so many exquisite things.
In the past, when I did wine, Duan's only concubine was married, and all the good things in the family were brought from Yongzhou, but this time it didn't work, those things were used again, one was unlucky, and the other was uncomfortable to look at, so I had to choose a different one.
It's not just different, but it's also a better choice, marrying the royal family can't be worse than what is laid out when marrying the son of a petty official.
Aunt He knew Duan's temper and wrote back to Yongzhou a year ago. This time, the Duan family selected some new ones from the treasury, and the rest was prepared by Aunt He in Beijing. Good things in Beijing are not cheap, Aunt He felt sorry for the silver, and gritted her teeth to prepare everything she needed.
The Duan family was talking to Aunt Li about the ladies of the various mansions who were invited to the banquet, and they combed it out, but they couldn't miss the post because of the tight time.
Zhen Xuan heard it a little, they were all familiar people, and the number of people invited was not much.
became royal in-laws, and Master Pei and the Duan family paid more and more attention to these things, so as not to cause some trouble.
Zhen Xuan didn't disturb the elders to do things, and went out to Zhen Lin's house.
Zhen Lin was lying on the couch reading a book, and she didn't know what she had read, and her brows were slightly twisted.
Zhen Xuan sat down on the embroidery pier next to her, leaned over to take a look, and was actually looking at Yizhi.
It is about a scholar who met a beautiful lady walking by the lake, and the maid who led the way carried a peony lantern.
"Fourth sister is really, she can see these things at this time." Zhen Xuan said with a smile.
Zhen Lin put the book aside, sat up, and glanced at Zhen Xuan: "It's not too late for you to come." Why can't I see it? ”
"I couldn't calm down before I left the pavilion, didn't the fourth sister panic?"
Zhen Lin's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she said with a light smile: "When it comes to the end, it has calmed down." A sedan chair went out the door, but that's it. ”
Zhen Lin's voice fell, and her eyes stopped on the wedding dress in the room.
Zhen Xuan followed her gaze, and her eyes darkened.
The wedding dress on the shelf is not red, but begonia red.
The side concubine, although she is also on the jade plate, is to be stained with the word "side" after all, as long as this word is still there, Zhen Lin will no longer need to be red.
Tomorrow, you can't sit on eight sedan chairs, you can only be carried by four people, the husband will not greet you personally, the sedan chair is carried into the prince's mansion from the side door, and the rules are the rules.
"Seventh sister is here?" Zhenqi came in to break the dullness of the room, she sat down with a smile, and said, "I'll smile more first, and I'll cry at night." ”
When Zhen Lin heard this, she couldn't help laughing, and reached out and pinched Zhen Qi's cheek: "It's like you don't usually laugh." ”
Zhen Qi hid, turned her head and said to Zhen Xuan: "Hello, go back to Qinghua Hutong in a while, don't cry." ”
Zhen Xuan laughed at her and said: "You wait, when you get on the sedan chair, ask the sixth sister to cry with you all night." ”
Zhenqi's face turned red all of a sudden, and she took a sip: "If you really get married, your face is getting thicker and thicker." ”
Zhen Lin smiled in Zhen Xuan's arms, leaned into her ear, and said: "Last night, my father mentioned it, saying that the team to send off relatives was already on the way back, and it was estimated that I would be able to reach the capital in another month." Tsk, it won't be long before the six sisters will cry for her. ”
Zhen Lin's voice was neither light nor heavy, just for Zhen Qi to hear, she stomped her feet in shame: "Who said it wouldn't take long!" ”
"How long will that take?" Zhen Lin choked Zhen Qi with a word.
The sisters smiled and said a little bit, and had lunch together, and when the word came in the afternoon, it was said that Master Pei had returned home.
Zhen Xuan remembered what Zhen Heng entrusted to him, said a word to Zhen Lin and Zhen Qi, and then got up and came out.
The eldest master was talking to the Duan clan about tomorrow, and Zhen Xuan waited outside for a while before being invited in.
Zhen Xuan's time to ask for peace, the eldest lord took a closer look at this niece.
The last time he was in Beijing, he felt that Zhen Xuan was an interesting person, and when he drove back to Yongzhou, he asked Zhen Xuan Ruoxia's family to invite the holy decree, what should she do, Zhen Xuan's answer at that time, he remembered it very clearly.
"If there is a will, it is the glory of my Pei family." Zhen Xuan was very respectful when she said this, without hesitation.
can carry it clearly, understand the general situation, from rumors to kowtowing to receive the holy decree, Zhen Xuan has done a good job.
worthy of the children of the Pei family.
As time comes, the eldest man always feels old, and he often feels this way when he looks at the children.
Zhen Che and Zhen Xu were admitted to the Jinshi, and they were each an official in the past two years, and the assessment was good; Zhende and Zhenhui study well, although they may not be able to go to high school like their brothers, but at least, they have the appearance of the diligent children of the family; Zhenlu, a weak child, can resolutely go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, what courage is this!
The girls are also growing up, this time I took Zhen Lin into Beijing, looking at her expression, Master Pei knew that Zhen Lin was really sensible.
Slowly, this family will be handed over to the hands of the younger generations, just like when they took it over from the elders in the past, it will be passed down from generation to generation, creating a century-old reputation of the Pei family.
Old, old......
However, I can fight for a few more years, and I have to lead the way for the children again.
Zhen Xuan said what she meant, she took out the article written by Zhen Heng she brought, and said, "My younger brother is about to participate in the Autumn Festival, and I have written an article, and I want to ask my uncle for advice." ”
The eldest lord raised his eyebrows, the fifth room started from the sixth old lady, and he wrote a good article, not to mention the fourteenth master, the literary thinking is quick, the Jinluan Palace is full of chapters, and the saints value Tanhualang, I don't know if Zhenheng can be like his grandfather and father, and he has more aura in learning.
The eldest man took the article and read it carefully, word by word.
Zhen Xuan looked at the old man, he read one article and turned the next one, the more he looked at the back, the stronger the smile on his face, and finally laughed: "Good article!" If you can have this kind of literary talent at a young age, my Pei family will definitely have another Jinshi in the future. ”
To be able to get such an evaluation from the eldest master, Zhen Xuan was overjoyed and asked, "Uncle, is my brother's article really well written?" ”
The eldest lord bowed his head, looked back and forth, and said with a smile: "Tell the sixth uncle, let her rest assured, Zhenheng will participate in the Autumn Festival, and after a few more years, it should not be a problem for Jinshi and the first, whether you can get a good ranking like your father, I can't say." ”
What the ranking is, it's really not something that the eldest master can say accurately, but if he can pass the autumn smoothly, Zhenheng's wish will also complete the first step.
What's next......
Zhen Xuan told the eldest master about his thoughts: "When Qiu Xuan has his results, if necessary, I want to ask my uncle to find a good gentleman for my younger brother in Beijing, my younger brother has only known to study since he was a child, and it would be good if he could increase his knowledge a little more." ”
The eldest lord naturally nodded in agreement.
Since I talked about scientific research, I remembered the Zhou family.
Zhou Weiming and Zhen Qiong's Geng post has already changed, because the above Zhenqi is not married, and the Zhou family wants to keep her for two more years, so there is no happy event. Do the math, next year's spring, Zhou Weiming is going to participate.
The eldest lord read Zhou Weiming's article and said to Duan: "That's also a talent." I'm very optimistic. ”
Duan echoed: "The children in the family can have a good future, the girls can find a good family, and that's what we ask for as elders." ”
Aunt He came in with a curtain, a little nervous.
In the past few days, Duan thought that his wife had passed peacefully, and he couldn't see that there was a little bad on the faces of the people below, so he was busy: "What's wrong?" ”
Aunt He smiled and looked at Zhen Xuan. (To be continued......)
