Chapter 233: Coming to the Door (Pink 1530+)
After Xiao Taiji and Long Shuzhi left, only two children were left in the house, Brother Ping and Sister An.
The maids and women who came with Xiao Yanran and the two children were waiting in the corridor at the door, and they didn't dare to come in without orders.
Brother Ping whispered a few words to Sister An, and then shouted to Long Xiangye and Xiao Yanran, who were talking in the Warm Pavilion: "Grandmother, aunt, let's go back first, okay?" ”
Xiao Yanran heard it in the warm pavilion, and hurriedly said to Long Xiangye: "Mother, I will send the two children to the main courtyard of the eldest brother and sister-in-law first, and we will talk about it tomorrow if I have something to say." With that, he left Long Xiangye's warm pavilion as if he was fleeing.
Long Xiangye looked at Xiao Yanran's back, shook his head with a smile, and said to the maid beside him: "This kid is still shy." What is there to be shy about a lifelong event? ”
The maid beside her laughed and said to Long Xiangye: "Old lady, Jiao Xi said that I only have half a day's class today." In the afternoon, let the old lady take a half-day vacation, take a good time, and in the evening, the distinguished guests come to the door, and the old lady just let those people see the prestige of our Hou Mansion. ”
Although Long Xiangye was reluctant, she couldn't do anything, so she had to nod and take the maid to the wing room to listen to the lecture.
In the main courtyard of the Zhuguo Marquis's Mansion, Du Hengshuang sat in the circle chair under the corridor, and was listening to the last time the people below took the family's roster and read it, and assigned today's duties.
Zhishu stood next to Du Hengshuang, and read the names of the crows and crows' mothers-in-law standing in the courtyard one by one, "Ten of you, take care of the guests at the second gate, and after the banquet opens, you serve the guests in the hall." Ten of you, pour tea in the hall and sit down. There are four people here. In the tea room alone, he is in charge of cleaning up cups and saucers and tea sets. These four people are in charge of the wine utensils and utensils during the banquet. The twenty people in the middle are in charge of serving and adding food when the time comes. The ten people in the back were in charge of cleaning up after the banquet ended. And the rest of the people, according to the houses and rooms that had been assigned, were to be divided into different places, and to guard each place, and the tables, chairs, and antiques, and even the sputum boxes and spoons in each courtyard were to be lost or damaged, and they were to settle accounts with the guards of this place. ”
The maid and lady of the Marquis of Zhuguo's Mansion have been busy for almost a month for this day. Today is the right day. They all cheered up and prepared, sang in unison below, and answered.
Du Hengshuang bowed slightly, and said, "Send the pair of cards down." Today, I will do what I know. Hello everyone. Wait for this big event. Tomorrow, the marquis will naturally reward you. ”
The maids and women standing in the courtyard all knelt down and kowtowed to Du Hengshuang again, and then dispersed.
Xiao Shihe and Du Hengshuang came out of Longxiangye's Cining Hall and went to the outer courtyard. Go with Xiao Yi to approve today's banquet in the outer courtyard.
The male guests are in the outer courtyard, and the female relatives are in the inner courtyard, and they all have their own places to go.
After Du Hengshuang finished the assignment, he saw Xiao Yanran bring Brother Ping and Sister An in, so he stopped and said a few words to them, and then smiled at Xiao Yanran: "Yanran, you go back and clean up well, there are a lot of guests here today, you are the unmarried aunt and grandmother of our Hou Mansion, you are noble, and you also want people to see how outstanding our Yanran is." ”
Xiao Yanran couldn't help blushing and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law really knows how to tell jokes." My sister-in-law is busy today, so I won't bother. Brother Ping and Sister An, why don't you come with me to my yard. I was quiet there, and there were few people, so I brought their maids and women to make it. ”
Du Hengshuang shook his head and said with a smile: "You don't care about them, I will find someone to take care of them." Dress yourself up today. Saying that, Du Hengshuang called Zhili over and ordered: "Go to my cage and take out the Nanzhu head noodles and send it to the eldest lady." ”
Xiao Yanran hurriedly excused herself: "How can this be made." I have it there. ”
"What you have is yours, and what I give is my heart. Could it be that Yanran can't look down on her sister-in-law's things? Du Hengshuang quipped with a smile.
Xiao Yanran was busy and didn't dare, so she had to order the maid to take the jewelry from Zhili and go back by herself.
Du Hengshuang took Brother Ping and Sister An back to the East Room, smiled and ordered someone to bring snacks to eat with them, and instructed beside him: "There are a lot of visitors today, you have to follow your maid and mother-in-law, don't run around." ”
The two children responded in unison.
Brother Ping looked at Du Hengshuang and stopped talking.
Du Hengshuang saw the strangeness, so he pulled him over and sat in his arms, rubbed his head and neck and asked, "What's wrong with Brother Ping?" Do you have something to say to your mother? ”
Brother Ping looked at Du Hengshuang, thinking about Chen Yuejiao's appearance, he always felt a blur in his heart, so he asked quietly: "Mother, my mother is a bad person, and she wants to harm her mother, right?" ”
Du Hengshuang didn't know why Brother Lu Daoping suddenly talked about Chen Yuejiao, and said in surprise: "Didn't your father tell you?" She wants to kill her mother in order to marry your father. She's not a good person. ”
Brother Ping breathed a sigh of relief, nodded vigorously and said, "I think so too." But today, the second aunt asked our grandmother if we missed our mother, and said that we had forgotten her and had raised us for nothing. As he spoke, the expression on his face was a little panicked, as if he was worried that he had done something wrong and recognized the wrong person.
Du Hengshuang felt extremely uncomfortable, but he didn't bring it out on his face, but asked Brother Ping with a smile, "Does Brother Ping believe what his father and mother said, or what his second aunt said?" ”
Whether it is from the point of view of reason or intimacy, Brother Ping should believe in Xiao Shiji and Du Hengshuang's words more, if he believes in Long Shuzhi's words more, Du Hengshuang feels that he has to review and review, why his own child would rather believe the words of an irrelevant outsider than the words of his biological father. If she is a confused worm who is indistinguishable and has no brains, she will have to work a little harder to raise her children well. Otherwise, in the future, it will really hurt the relatives, and the enemies will be soon.
Brother Ping thought for a while, then understood what Du Hengshuang meant, and nodded vigorously: "I understand." Don't worry, I know what to do. said, and said to Du Hengshuang: "Father and mother are our closest people, we don't believe in father and mother, but believe in the second aunt, no wonder my mother is sad." Brother Ping is wrong, please punish your mother. As he spoke, he jumped down from the couch in the warm pavilion and stood in front of Du Hengshuang with his head down.
Du Hengshuang smiled. This kid is so sensitive. His joy and anger were not brought out on his face, but the child could feel the displeasure in his heart. - It's okay, it's okay. This is a sensible and intelligent child, not a soft-eared fool.
"Well, my mother knows. After you finish your snack, go back to the wing room with the maid and the maid to rest. There are indeed a lot of people today, and the Hou Mansion is a big place, so I really don't feel at ease if you want to leave my eyes. Brother Ping and Sister An were wronged for a day, don't go out of this yard today, okay? Du Hengshuang smiled and discussed with Brother Ping and Sister An.
Three-year-olds, of course, love to go out and play.
But today there is something going on at home. They all know it. And the wing room they live in is not small, there are all kinds of toys in it, and there are people to play with, so they should all be there. Follow your maid down.
Du Hengshuang saw that the trivial matters were all arranged. Then he ordered people to boil water. Go to the bath room by yourself, and then come out to clean up.
She is also a lady of the Decree now, and her clothes are custom-made. Changing into Mrs. Hou's robe, she looks majestic. It's just that it's the height of summer, and it's a little tiring to wear it like this.
"Today's banquet is placed in the flower hall near the water. There is spring water flowing around the eaves of the flower hall, taking its coolness. There are also lattice fans at the four corners of the flower hall, and at night, it is not so hot. Zhishu was watching Zhili comb Du Hengshuang's hair while reporting to her.
Du Hengshuang nodded, "That's appropriate." ”
After Du Hengxue finished assigning today's affairs in the kitchen, she saw that the masters of the Zhuangyuan Building were all in place, and began to prepare the dishes for the banquet in the evening, so she washed her hands, left the big kitchen, and went back to her Baicao Hall to wash and rest.
At today's banquet, Du Hengxue didn't want to attend, Du Hengshuang understood her difficulties, and didn't say anything about her, so she went.
The people of the Marquis of Zhuguo's Mansion hurriedly ate lunch and were about to start preparing to welcome the guests.
When a distinguished guest came, Du Hengshuang and Xiao Shiji had to go to the gate to greet them.
However, the only distinguished guests who came today and needed them to greet them at the gate were Prince Yi and Prince Yi, as well as the crown prince and the crown princess.
Emperor Yongchang in the palace once thought of coming over to join in the fun, but was dissuaded by Prince Yi and the crown prince together, so he just sent an attendant to enjoy the good wine and food to cheer them up.
In the prince's east palace, the prince looked at the crown princess Cui Zhenzhen, who had already put on a lot of makeup, and frowned and said, "You have only been out of confinement for a short time, don't you take a break?" I heard that many women in the folk have the custom of sitting in two confinements, and your status is noble, so you should raise one more. ”
Cui Zhenzhen's eyes wandered, he glanced at the prince with a smile, and said in a manly voice: "The prince is sympathetic, I am really grateful." However, the Marquis of Zhu is the pillar of the country. Since the crown prince values him, as the crown princess, I should help the prince, how can I hide at home and be lazy and slippery? ”
The prince was very satisfied, and reminded her: "You can see it now, what Xiao Aiqing values most is his original wife Du Shi, you go to the inner courtyard of the Marquis of Zhuguo Mansion as a guest, you must be more enveloped by Du Shi, lest she feel resentful because of the previous events, and it will not be good to blow the pillow wind to Xiao Aiqing." ”
Cui Zhenzhen covered his sleeves and smiled: "It's still the crown prince's talent, I have long seen that Chen Yuejiao is overwhelmed, and I led those things to that side, so that the anger of the Marquis of Zhu Guohou did not burn to our side." She pouted at the side where Concubine Wan and Princess Qianjin lived.
The prince smiled lightly.
Cui Zhenzhen once asked him why he was alienating Chen Yuejiao. The prince only said half of it.
After the two finished speaking, they boarded the prince's car, left the East Palace, and went to the Zhuguo Marquis's Mansion.
Xiao Shiji and Du Hengshuang were entertaining Prince Yi and Princess Yi who came early in the hall.
Hearing that the prince's car had arrived, Xiao Shiji and Du Hengshuang were annoyed with Prince Yi and Prince Yi, and hurried out to pick up the car.
The little white fox stabbed out of the sting, biting Du Hengshuang's dress, and did not allow her to go out.
Du Hengshuang hurriedly pulled her skirt open, and whispered to the little white fox: "Today's matter is very important, Xiaobai, don't make trouble." With that, he got on the green silk mule cart with Xiao Shiji and went to the outer courtyard together.
The little white fox sighed in a low voice, and went to guard Brother Ping and Sister An with his tail between his legs.
Du Hengshuang and Xiao Shihe came to the gate of the Marquis of Zhuguo's mansion, stood on the steps, opened the middle door wide, and bowed down to greet the prince and the princess.
The prince walked over with a smile, nodded to Du Hengshuang, and patted Xiao Shiji's shoulder and said, "The Marquis of Zhu Guohou is in good spirits today, and he is really in good spirits on a happy occasion." He also said: "Today, I want to have a few more drinks with the Marquis of Zhuguo, and if you don't get drunk, you won't return!" ”
Xiao Shiji smiled and leaned over to salute the prince.
Du Hengshuang also saluted, turned to look at the car under the steps, and asked, "The crown princess is still inside?" ”
The prince glanced back, snorted, and instructed Du Hengshuang, "Lone and the crown princess are here to be guests, and the guests are as they are guests, and Mrs. Zhuguo Hou does not need to be polite." ”
"How does this work?" Du Hengshuang hurriedly said, "There is a difference between monarchs and ministers. The crown prince and the crown princess are kings, and we are ministers, how can we be rude? ”
The prince smiled: "Mrs. Zhuguo Marquis is serious. As he spoke, he took Xiao Shiji's hand and walked towards the gate.
Du Hengshuang sent them away, turned around and looked at the prince's car with a smile.
The curtain of the car was lifted, and two palace maids helped a woman in full costume to come down.
The eight treasures on the head, Zhai Fengchai, the red gold basket Guanyin covers the temples, the body is dark and blue, and the princess robe with vermilion trim looks extraordinary.
The crown princess stood in the open space in front of the Pillar Marquis's Mansion, raised her head in all directions, and squinted at Du Hengshuang on the steps.
Du Hengshuang also looked at the crown princess standing at the bottom of the steps with deep eyes.
Only Du Hengshuang could see that the sunset was projected from behind the crown princess, clearly reflecting the two ghosts behind the crown princess......
