"You are?" Half of the size inside the door looked up and down at Qiu Tang.

"Please take this thing to Mother Meng, just say that Qiu Tang wants to see you." Qiu Tang took the bead pink butterfly golden step shake that Dream Mother gave her from her head and handed it to the kid in the door.

"You wait." The boy took the step shake and closed the door again.

Qiu Tang raised her head and looked at the pink door number on the door, she couldn't help but feel sad, she didn't expect to come back this day, and it came so quickly. Just when Qiu Tang was stunned, the door opened again, and it was still the half-grown boy, who raised his hand and said, "Qiu Tang girl, please, Mother Meng is waiting for the girl in the house." ”

Qiu Tang was ruthless and followed him into Fengqi Pavilion. If she knew that this step of hers would bring her a life worse than death in the near future, she would rather live the present day a little harder.

"Dream Mom." Begonia is deeply blessed.

"Please be seated." Meng Ling'er smiled and helped Qiu Tang up, and let him sit down on the embroidery stool on the side, "Miss Qiu Tang is so anxious to come to me, but what's the matter?" ”

"......" Qiu Tang didn't know how to open his mouth in the face of Meng Ling'er's questions, and after thinking about it again and again, Qiu Tang still decided to tell the truth, "Qiu Tang's family has suffered an accident, and I came to ask Meng's mother to enjoy food." Qiu Tang told Xu's mother that she was seriously ill and that Xu's mother's personal maid had stolen all the money and escaped.

"In this case, if I take you into Fengqi Pavilion now, it will be taking advantage of people's danger, and I won't do this kind of thing to take advantage of people's danger." Meng Ling'er said with a smile.

"Dream Mother...... I ......" Seeing that Meng Ling'er was going to refuse, Qiu Tang was a little anxious.

"Don't worry." Meng Ling'er soothed, "I can't accept you into Fengqi Pavilion at this moment, but if you have difficulties with money, I can help you, but this money is lent to you, and when you get through the current difficulties, remember to pay me back." Meng Ling'er stood up as she spoke, took out a small box with gold edges from the wardrobe in the corner, and opened the box, which contained countless pearls, agate, coral and jade, which were dazzling. Meng Ling'er took this layer of jewelry away, revealing the lower layer, which did not have a single jewel on the lower layer, only a small and delicate gold and silver ingot. Meng Ling'er took out two silver ingots and one gold ingot, and handed them to Qiu Tang.

"Thank you Mother Dream for saving your life!" Qiu Tang hurriedly knelt down, "Mother Meng, don't worry, even if Qiu Tang is a cow and a horse, she must pay off the money in full!" ”

"Get up." Meng Ling'er packed up the box and stuffed the ingots into Qiu Tang's arms, "Do you want to go to Shuyutang to sing songs in the afternoon?" Go back and take care of Mother Xu. ”

"Thank you again for your mother's life-saving grace." Qiu Tang took the ingot, knelt in front of Meng Ling'er and kowtowed three times.

"Yinsu, send Qiu Tang back for me." Meng Ling'er called out to an eleven or twelve-year-old girl who was serving her closely, and then easily inserted the beaded pink butterfly golden step back into Qiu Tang's hair.

"Yes." Yinsu responded obediently, and then helped Qiu Tang up, "Qiu Tang girl, please." ”

"Mom, why don't you take the opportunity to keep Miss Qiutang?" The half-grown boy who welcomed Qiutang into Fengqi Pavilion saw Qiutang come out of Fengqi Pavilion, took a pot of tea, and entered Meng Ling'er's house.

"You know what?" Meng Ling'er chuckled, "She is in trouble now, if I leave her in Fengqi Pavilion at this time, it will inevitably be in her heart in the future to take advantage of the danger of others and take advantage of the fire to rob, it is better to take money to help her now, let her remember my kindness, if she comes to me again in the future, it will be willing." Meng Ling'er took a sip of tea, "Yes, today's tea is better than yesterday." ”

"Thank you Mother Dream for your compliment, since Mother Dream wants Qiu Tang to remember your kindness, why should she let her pay it back? Give it to her, and you'll get it. ”

"Give it to her, don't you want her to pay it back?" Meng Ling'er almost laughed out loud, "Qingyun, you still have to learn!" If you don't let her pay it back, won't it become me giving her charity? Qiu Tang is a high-minded child, if she is not allowed to pay it back, she will categorically refuse to ask for my money. ”

"Or my mother's eyes are hot, why don't I see that she is arrogant?" Qingyun nodded and smiled, "You said, this girl who took the initiative to come to our Fengqi Pavilion is still arrogant?" ”

"Everyone has their own difficulties, which of the girls from Fengqi Pavilion was not forced to do so when they first came? Okay, you go get busy, I want to take a break. Meng Ling'er seemed to think of something, her eyes were slightly red, and she held back the tears that almost burst out of her eyes, and sent Qingyun out.

Once upon a time, she was also the one who had to do it.

"Mother, why haven't you made up yet?" Qingxing looked through the treasury of the auspicious suit and returned to the house, but saw Zhang Wan still sitting in front of the dresser, still wearing the court clothes that she had gone to the Queen Mother to greet the Queen Mother in the morning.

"Put it on for me." Zhang Wan said lightly. Since Mu Lingyi's request for Mu Jianyu to let her be Mu Lingyi's adoptive mother was rejected, Zhang Wan always felt that she was like duckweed in this deep palace, helpless, and she had her own mother family to rely on before, and a sister to talk to, but now she is the only one left, she regrets a little, regretting that the design led Mu Jianyu to witness the pickling of her sister Zhang Rou that day, so that her mother's family was degraded, distributed, and an adult man was not left behind.

Qing Xing didn't care if her master was in the mood, and hurriedly started to change Zhang Wan into the auspicious clothes for the banquet and put on another set of headdresses.

"Yuluan Yuchen, don't panic when you come to the stage." Although it was not the first time he had appeared on stage, Boss Gu was still nervous.

"Master, don't worry." The two of them answered in unison.

"For some reason, my eyelids are always jumping." Boss Gu rubbed his eyes, and his tone was full of worry.

"Master, don't worry, everything will be fine." Yuchen said, and Yuluan helped the master to the table and sat down.

"I hope so." Boss Gu sighed, he didn't know why, he always felt a trace of dark clouds in his heart, which made him panic and breathless.

"Boss Gu." The three masters and apprentices were comforting each other and saying this, the palace door of Bixi Hall was pushed open, and Boss Gu looked up and saw Li Xusong, the great eunuch beside Mu Lingyi.

"Father-in-law." Boss Gu got up and greeted him.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is busy at this time, I have been sent to invite Boss Gu and your beloved disciples, the banquet is about to start, please let Boss Gu go." Li Xu bowed his hand.

"There is Father-in-law." Boss Gu bowed and saluted.

"Then the miscellaneous family will retire first, please Boss Gu don't miss the auspicious time."

"Father-in-law, don't worry, the grass people will leave." Boss Gu sent Li Xusong out of Bixi Palace, and after coming back to his senses, he hesitated again and again, "That's it, it's a blessing or a curse, and it can't be avoided." Dress up and get ready for the show! ”

"Queen Mother, you see, this is all specially made for you by the son and the imperial chef, and they are all your favorite foods." Mu Jianyu helped the old queen mother to sit down.

"The saint has a heart." The Queen Mother nodded, "After all, the mourning family is old, and this appetite is not as good as before, you just eat and drink well, just don't care about my old bones." ”

"Is the queen mother going to slap her son in the face when she says this? Filial piety to the queen mother is what a son should do, even if it is a matter of course for the whole country, don't worry about anything today, just enjoy it. Mu Jianyu smiled and personally poured wine for the Queen Mother.

"Okay, then the mourning family will be an old fairy for a day." The Queen Mother was amused by Mu Jianyu and laughed.

"Queen Mother, look over there." Mu Jianyu raised his finger to the opposite side of the Shouyan Hall, which is located in a corner of the Imperial Garden, opposite is the largest pavilion in the Imperial Garden, through the bead curtains around the Shouyan Hall, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Imperial Garden, and you can also watch the drama staged in the Pavilion.

"Okay, good, these children look so familiar." The Queen Mother followed Mu Jianyu's hand and saw the actors in the cool pavilion who were fluttering down to congratulate her on her longevity, and she was immediately happy.

"The queen mother has good eyesight, this is the last time you accompanied your son on a southern tour, the troupe you met in Lingcheng, the queen mother was very happy at that time, and the son has always remembered it, this is not the queen mother's birthday, and the son picked them up from Lingcheng."

"Good, good, good! Reward! Rewards! The Queen Mother cried with joy, and the tears in the corners of her eyes reflected the sun, shining brightly.

Mu Jianyu was happy when he saw the Queen Mother, and waved his hand: "Reward!" As soon as the words fell, a little eunuch behind him carried away two boxes of gold, silver and jewelry.

"This play is good, auspicious and festive." The Queen Mother drank wine, listened to the play, and was full of joy.

"This is Yi'er's operation." Mu Jianyu replied.

"Yes, this kid is really good." The Queen Mother nodded.

"My son understands." Mu Jianyu said, handing over a plate of snacks, "The queen mother tastes it, this is Yi'er made it for you herself." ”

"Qingxing, help me out for a walk." The atmosphere in the banquet made Zhang Wan very uncomfortable, from the beginning to the present, the scenes in the Qingliang Pavilion have been sung four or five times, Mu Jianyu didn't even look at herself, Zhang Wan felt like a dispensable person, "This palace wants to go back and see Chen'er." ”

Qing Xing helped the slightly drunk Zhang Wan to leave the banquet and walked towards Yulan Palace.

"What about Concubine Xiao?" At the end of the fifth play, Mu Jianyu looked around, didn't see Zhang Wan's figure, and couldn't help asking.

"Concubine Xiao Guifei said that she could not rest assured that she would not be less than the twelve princes, and she would go back to Yulan Palace to take care of the princes." You Dexing, the great eunuch behind Mu Jianyu, hurriedly said.

"You go, you go and pick up Xiao Guifei and Chen'er." Mu Jianyu was a little displeased, his mother's birthday, someone actually left the table, he felt that he had been provoked, "The queen mother's birthday, how can the emperor and grandson not come to congratulate her birthday." ”

"Yes, the miscellaneous family will go." Seeing that Mu Jianyu was a little annoyed, You Dexing hurriedly ran towards Yulan Palace with two little eunuchs.

"It's getting more and more unruly!" Mu Jianyu grumbled in a low voice.

"Holy Lord, don't be angry." Mu Jian Yu Tieqing's face attracted the attention of the Queen Mother, "The mourning family knows that the saint has put a lot of thought into organizing a birthday banquet for the mourning family, and the mourning family has always returned the gift and wants to give it to the saint." ”

"What is it?" Mu Jianyu heard that the queen mother had something to give to him, so he hurriedly put on a smiling face.

"Let the troupe go down and rest, I'm tired after singing for so long, how about the saint also take a look at the song and dance prepared by the mourning family for the saint?" When the Queen Mother's voice landed, a palace maid led the troupe out of the Qingliang Pavilion, and then carried five or six cowhide drums with grinding plates. As the cowhide drum was placed, five or six graceful women dressed in colorful clothes poured in from around the pavilion, their toes touching the ground, their sleeves crossing circles in the air, and when they looked again, the women were all standing on the drum. The music mixed with the hu board sounded, and a pair of bare feet stepped on the drum surface quickly, and their bodies danced to the rhythmic drum beat under their feet. The drums are sparse and exciting. Mu Jianyu was stunned for a while.

"What does the Holy Lord think?" At the end of the dance, the Queen Mother smiled and looked at Mu Jianyu, who was stunned.

"The queen mother's mind is really ingenious, this Hu Xuan dance is changed to dance on the drum, it is really ingenious, is it the queen mother's idea?"

"The mourning family is old, where is there such a whimsical idea, but the mourning family has nothing to do recently, so they often go to the dance workshop to watch them practice, one of the girls was dancing this Hu Xuan dance on a drum at that time, the mourning family felt novel, so they ordered her to choreograph this dance, and invited the saint to watch it together at the mourning family's birthday banquet."

"It's a novelty. Reward! Mu Jianyu praised again and again.

"Go and call Yuechan, the saint wants to reward her."

Not long after, a young woman came to the outside of the birthday banquet hall and bowed down: "The little girl Yuechan greets the saint and the queen mother." ”
