Chapter 472: Officially Returning Home
Kuo Kuolun generously pushed the car door and said, "No courtesy, our trip is to send off Princess Wanze, and you don't need to be polite." ”
As soon as the ministers looked up, they saw several Mongolian concubines and princesses, and saw that the five of them were bright-eyed and good-looking, each good at winning, and different from the women of the Southern Song Dynasty, there was an atmospheric beauty, which matched Cheng Yue's generosity and heroism, and they couldn't help but admire in their hearts.
Cheng Yue pointed at Wan Ze and said, "This is my wife, Princess Wan Ze." ”
The ministers hurriedly saluted Wan Ze again, and this time their bodies were lowered, which was more respectful than saluting Kuo Kuolun and Babahan. Hu Toulon is right, the ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty don't care about them very much, the ministers only have Cheng Yue in their eyes, and they just respond to the story.
Wan Ze said: "Your Excellency, I am not the princess of Dayuan here, but the wife of the Metropolitan Governor, I should salute your lords." ”
The ministers were busy and didn't dare. That being said, a princess is still a princess after all.
After the greetings, the car set off, and the army went with Zhang Xiaozhong and Toto, and Cheng Yue only took the guards and palace maids into the city.
There is no need to sound the gong to open the way, and the people of Lin'an spontaneously make way for Cheng Yue and his party. Not to mention, after this battle, coupled with the princess who married back Kublai Khan, the Dadu completely stabilized the north for the Southern Song Dynasty, and the people of the Southern Song Dynasty could live a stable life for a long time, and nothing was more important to the people.
Babahan smiled in the car and said: "It seems that Cheng Yue has a very high prestige in the Southern Song Dynasty and is very loved." ”
Nang Jiazhen raised his eyebrows and said, "Of course, is he the same in Dadu?" ”
Kuo Kuolun smiled: "You girl, you like to listen to Cheng Yue's good words." ”
Nanga smirked. "That's right." Don't speak ill of him. My husband is the best man in the world. ”
There was a coquettish laugh in the car.
Wan Ze said leisurely: "Lin'an's wealth is no less than that of Suzhou, and Xianggong is really well governed." ”
Hu Tulun said: "This way, the more you go south, the more prosperous it becomes, and the scenery is very different from the north, which is really worth the trip." ”
Babahan said with a smile: "I'm about to arrive at the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, Cheng Yue's favorite Dingniang, Guansheng and the concubines in the palace are all there, are you afraid?" ”
Wan Ze smiled indifferently and said, "There is a beauty like Rou Niang by her side, and she is not a special favor." I have nothing to worry about, but now it's sad for Dingniang. ”
Kuo Kuolun sighed: "Yes, she was no different from the eldest woman at home, but now that her wife suddenly comes, it is strange that she can be happy." ”
Babahan instructed: "Ding Niang's father is Wen Tianxiang, the secretary of the Ministry of War, who was born in the first place, has a great reputation, and is the first important minister under Cheng Yue, and the four sisters married into the Cheng family together, can Cheng Yue not look at Ding Niang differently?" You must not hold a grudge against her. Otherwise, Cheng Yue may not be able to support you. ”
Wan Ze said: "Don't worry, Dingniang is a person who knows how to advance and retreat." If I treat her better, my husband will be happy. ”
Nanggarjin looked at the crowd outside, listened to the deafening cheers, and said with a smile: "This is our future home, what a good place!" ”
Kutoulon also looked out the window and muttered, "It's finally here...... Not bad indeed. Since entering the Song Realm, Ku Toulon has spoken a lot, and people have become lively and cheerful, and under getting along day and night, her relationship with Wan Ze and Nang Jia Zhen is still more harmonious than before.
After a while, the carriage turned into a straight road, next to the courtyard of the deep house, and there was no edge in sight.
Wan Ze glanced out a few times and said, "Are you home?" This is not a place for the people to live. ”
At this time, Xiao Zhen, who was guarding outside, specially raised his voice and said: "The Metropolitan Governor's Mansion has arrived, open the door!" Welcome to the nobles! ”
The carriage stopped in front of the Dadu Governor's Mansion, and Shi Xiu, Ding Yi and others opened the gate to welcome Cheng Yue back to the mansion again.
The carriage stopped in the house, Cheng Yue opened the door, and said with a smile: "It's home, please get off." ”
Nang Jiazhen opened the car door and saw that in addition to Cheng Yue, there was also a group of beautiful women standing beside Cheng Yue outside the car door.
Nang Jia Zhen hurriedly jumped out of the car and returned the salute with Han etiquette.
Kutoulon then got out of the car, and everyone was taken aback as soon as they got out of the car!
This princess is beautiful, why is she so tall! Dingniang has a slender figure, and she is almost a head shorter!
Seeing the stunned expressions on the faces of the concubines, Kutoulon smiled helplessly, and stood sideways with Nangjiazhen to return the salute.
After Wan Ze got out of the car, he recognized Ding Niang who was standing in the middle of the concubines at a glance, and secretly praised Ding Niang's outstanding temperament in his heart, no wonder he was favored by Cheng Yue. Walked up to her with a smile, held up Dingniang with both hands, and said softly: "This sister is as beautiful as a fairy, could it be Dingniang?" ”
Ding Niang raised her head and smiled: "Ding Niang meets the princess." ”
Wan Ze immediately replied: "There is no princess here, only the wife of the Grand Duke, I am the same as you." ”
A light flashed in Ding Niang's eyes, and she said with a smile: "Ding Niang meets Madame." ”
When the concubines heard this, they said together, "Meet Madame." ”
Wan Ze was relieved in his heart, and said: "You don't have to be polite, you should be called sisters in the future, after all, the title of Mrs. is a little rusty." ”
The concubines said in unison: "Yes." ”
Wan Ze hurriedly picked up Concubine Yang Shu, who was beside Dingniang, and said sincerely: "I don't dare to be a courtesy to all my sisters, please teach me a lot of lessons in the future." ”
The concubines just saw Wan Ze with a concubine ceremony, and they were really unwilling to see Wan Ze as Cheng Yue said, being kind and not respectful, and they were very happy.
They have an embarrassing position in the Dadu Governor's Mansion, they are not nobles or concubines, and everything depends on Cheng Yue and the wife who presides over the back house. They get along well with Dingniang, and it is inevitable that they will feel apprehensive when they suddenly change to Wanze, and now they can finally rest assured.
Babahan and Kuo Kuolun then got out of the car and were very polite to Dingniang and the concubines. Nang Jiazhen is still waiting to marry in, so he has to envelop Cheng Yue's favorite concubine.
A large number of palace maids then entered the house, and Dingniang had already prepared, and ordered Yu's, Jin'er, Yu'er and the two ladies who had just gotten off to lead the servants in the house to arrange.
Xue'er and Yaguli arrived at the house for the first time and stepped forward to meet Dingniang and the concubines. Dingniang liked it at first sight, especially Yaguli's appearance was different and her eyebrows were picturesque, which made the concubines look novel, and they held her hand and kept asking.
Allah moved to talk with the concubines, and the conversation was very pleasant, but it was Kutoulon that attracted the most attention from the concubines.
Chen Cairen was petite, standing in front of Kutoulon like a child, only reaching her chest, which made Cheng Yue laugh, and the concubines couldn't help laughing.
Cheng Yue took Wan Ze and Nang Jiazhen's hands, led them to the back house, and said as he walked: "This is our home, we will have a lot of children here in the future, and those who have fewer will be spanked, how about it?" Nice here, right? ”
Wan Ze said happily: "What a beautiful house! It is indeed no less than the Suzhou government! ”
Cheng Yue said with a smile: "The key is that the place is still very large, and it is no problem to live for two or three thousand people. ”
When I came to the back house, the pavilions and pavilions were even more elegant, and I was dazzled by the wide and broad Lun, and sighed: "You Han people will really enjoy it, and the Zhennan Wangfu in the capital is far inferior to here." ”
Cheng Yue said: "It's different, Zhennan Wangfu is also very good, there is a thick beauty." ”
Let enter the back hall, everyone sat down, Kuo Kuolun and Ba Bahan sat on the top, and Cheng Yue and others sat in turn. As soon as I sat down, the juice was immediately served.
Kuo Kuolun and the others were pleasantly surprised to see the brightly colored juice in the glass, but they couldn't figure out what it was.
Ding Niang said: "This is the juice invented by Xianggong, which is squeezed from various fresh fruits, please taste it." ”
Kuo Kuolun drank it in one gulp and blurted out: "It's delicious!" So many fruits are extra delicious when put together, Cheng Yue, you are really a genius! ”
Ding Niang said with a smile: "There are many things invented by Xianggong, you nobles just enjoy it in the house, and let Xianggong come to the headache." ”
Cheng Yue said with a bitter face: "Do you think it's easy to feed this big family?" It's pretty much the same for you to eat less. ”
The concubines laughed again.
At this time, it was noon, and after resting for a while in the back hall, Cheng Yue ordered the dining flower hall.
The main table where Cheng Yue sat was a little crowded, Kuo Kuolun and Babahan sat down, Cheng Yue, Wan Ze, Ding Niang, Nang Jiazhen, Ku Tulun, and the eleventh concubine sat in turn, and there were seventeen people seated.
Cheng Yue was not at home for half a year, and when he came back, he brought so many nobles, and among them was Cheng Yue's wife, the kitchen lady naturally had to do her best, and she was full of praise for eating broadly.
Wan Ze looked at the piano in the corner of the flower hall while eating, and said, "Xianggong, what is that?" It looks a little weird. ”
Cheng Yue said: "That's a musical instrument I made, called the piano, I can play it for you after eating." ”
Babahan said happily: "Is that the piano?" I've seen its name in the newspaper before, and it turns out like this. ”
Yang Shufei said with a smile: "The official's piano plays very well, we haven't had a feast for a long time, and you will definitely like it after listening to it." ”
Cheng Yue asked, "How is Daosheng's piano practice?" I don't have time to let her play it to me these days. ”
Ding Niang's face turned red, and she said coquettishly: "You are very busy these nights, how can you still care about listening to everyone play the piano?" ”
Cheng Yue smiled, and Ding Niang continued: "Everyone is very talented at the piano, Xiang Gong has played the etudes for her very well, and I tried to play Xiang Gong's "Dedicated to Guan Sheng" again during the Chinese New Year. ”
Cheng Yue said with a smile: "Dao Sheng Lan has a good heart, her fingers are beautiful, she is suitable for playing the piano, I don't have much time to practice, she will surpass me in the future." ”
Ding Niang said: "Not only do we care about everyone, but we also practice." Yunluo, Qian'er, Luqi, and Izumo all played well, and my prison mother and I also achieved a little success. Everyone is making a new piano and planning to put it in Yaleju. In addition, there are many noble ladies in the court who want to learn to play the piano, and more than 50 orders for pianos have been received. ”
Cheng Yue said in surprise: "Oh? This is a great thing, promoting the piano has been my plan all along, I didn't expect you to do it without me arranging it. (To be continued......)
