Chapter 1219: Laughing and talking
Wu Qiongye pursed her lips and snickered, then signaled Xie Mulin with her eyes, telling her to calm down.
The princess's crown dress is heavy, this is an old problem. Princess Yan's health is not very good, and whenever she needs to wear a full set of crown clothes for a major event during the New Year, she is tossed a lot, but she has a gentle and stable personality and rarely complains to outsiders. But the county lord of Yongping is a more out-of-the-box character, she also needs to wear a big dress, and she complains about it a lot on weekdays. Wu Qiongye has been waiting for the mother and daughter for more than 20 years, so she naturally knows what it is like, and she can't help but smile when she sees that the young grandmother who is about to enter the door is also suffering from this.
Right now, in front of the female officials around the Queen Mother, it's not good to be too casual, but even if Xie Mulin needs to be patient, he won't endure it for too long. All the things that she should have done at the canonization ceremony have been done, but there are follow-ups between the chief and deputy envoys and others, and they are coming to an end. When the men outside had finished their work and had finished their entertainment, the two female officers could leave with their attendants. After that, when the Xie family was doing their own things behind closed doors, what the newly baked princess wanted to put on and take off, didn't she have the final say?
Xie Mulin received Aunt Wu's hint, and also calmed down, and quietly went to inquire about the grandmother sent by the Queen Mother. Obviously, the interaction between them was obvious, but this grandmother was facing them, but she didn't seem to see it at all, with a nonchalant look. It wasn't until the little yellow door outside came to report that the adults were leaving, that she smiled and signaled to Aunt Wu, and the two of them saluted Xie Mulin and said goodbye and withdrew.
Then Shermulin could easily do it.
By the time Wen accompanied her husband Xie Pu to see off the envoys, and then turned around and sent the two old ladies back to the courtyard, and then instructed the subordinates to pack up the things in the courtyard, and then returned to the upper room of the main courtyard with a group of children and aunts, Xie Mulin had quickly changed out of the big dress, put on the private clothes he wore today, walked out of the room, and said hello to his parents and brothers.
Xie Pu sat down on the right seat with satisfaction, twisted his beard and smiled: "Okay, after the canonization ceremony, your title as the princess of the county will be decided, and the next thing is just to greet you." You're familiar with the etiquette procedures you should know, right? On the day of the wedding, there can be no mistakes. I saw that you were a little rusty in etiquette, but fortunately, Gonggong Gao didn't care, and Aunt Wu mentioned it on the side, otherwise you would have made people see the joke. ”
Xie Mulin said with a smile: "I was pitifully manipulated, moving around and worshipping and praising it, but I really can't remember the specific procedure." But with the celebrant present at this ceremony, it is impossible that no one reminds me of what to do. If I make a mistake and fail to guide me properly, I am also suspected of dereliction of duty. Father-in-law Gao and the two female officials don't have an enmity with me, so naturally they won't have trouble with me in this kind of thing. So Daddy, you don't have to pick on my thorns, although I was a little confused just now, but remember to follow the instructions, and the possibility of mistakes is actually not very high. ”
Xie Pu smiled: "Having said that, wouldn't it be better for you to remember etiquette yourself than to be at the mercy of others in everything?" ”
Xie Mulin admitted this and smiled in response.
Wen led people to count the gifts sent by the envoys, and then walked over and said: "I have seen the book ceremony and the makeup ceremony, and I see that they are all valuable jewels and jade treasures, although the number is not much, but they are very valuable. Do we put all these things into the real sister's dowry, so that she can take them all back to the Yanwang Mansion? ”
Xie Pu thought for a while: "Pick a few things to stay at home to keep a certificate, and let Sister Zhen take the rest of the jewelry and jade to the door." It's useless for us to keep it. ”
Xie Yingrong, who was sitting in the corner, wanted to speak and stopped, but looking at the people in this room, few of them were of the same mind as her, and some words were really not good to say in front of so many people, so she closed her mouth again.
Aunt Dajin stood beside her, her eyes were full of envy, and she didn't notice her daughter's reaction at all.
Wanqin, who was standing opposite them, looked at it squarely, pursed her lips secretly, and did not say anything.
Xie Pu said to Wen again: "The makeup gifts have been sent, and the dowry should be sent tomorrow, right?" Who's betting on makeup this time? Although it's not too public, but the real sister is going to marry into the Yanwang Mansion, not the princess, but also the princess of Yong'an County, the pomp is too much, it is easy to make this city full of people laugh, so, there should be some excitement, just don't be too showy. The person you sent to put on makeup should be older, neither humble nor arrogant in front of the people of Yanwangfu, even if you meet any royal noble, you can't make a fool of yourself. ”
Wen Shi hurriedly said: "I plan to let Zhao Fengnian and his family go over, it's enough to think about it." He asked again, "Will there be nobles from the royal family who will come to the Yanwang Mansion to watch the excitement?" Could it be the Four Princes? "I think the fourth prince is only twelve years old, and he is still a half-old child. The child loves to see the excitement the most, the fourth prince grew up in the palace since he was a child, and he has never seen any folk excitement, and now it is rare for his cousin to marry, and he happens to be outside the palace, where is he willing to let go of this great opportunity? It's normal for him to come, and Yanwang's Mansion is not an outside, with uncles and aunts and brothers and sisters taking care of it, can there be any danger?
Wen felt that his conjecture was normal and reasonable, but Xie Pu was a little hesitant: "I don't know about this, but just now Father-in-law Gao mentioned it to me, saying that there may be nobles coming to Yanwang's Mansion in the next few days, so even if we meet it, don't panic, just act according to etiquette." The noble man came for the wedding, how could others ruin his interest? ”
Xie Mulin remembered that Zhu Rui's mouth was poisoned by the four princes, and he was a little skeptical that he would come to the Yanwang Mansion to see the excitement. But it's hard to say that he's a kid after all. Anyway, Yanwang's Mansion is very safe, it's okay for him to come over and relax when he is idle, what's the use of being trapped in Zizhu Courtyard all day long?
So she asked her father Xie Pu: "If the four princes will come to the Yanwang Mansion, what about the Queen Mother?" Will the Queen Mother rest assured that the four princes will go out alone? "It's the four princes who really have physical problems!
Xie Pu smiled: "How could the fourth prince go out alone? If he wants to come out, he will naturally be accompanied. Chonglin is not empty, and there is the county lord of Yongping, in addition, several brothers of the Ma family are here, and General Xiao Yuan. ”
As for the Queen Mother, he knew some news: "The Queen Mother has been in good health and in good spirits recently, saying that she is looking at the weather and it doesn't seem to be as hot as before, and she plans to move back to the Forbidden City to live temporarily." In this way, after the Empress Dowager attended the wedding of the county lord of Yongping, when she was ready to return to Beijing by the south, it was more convenient to start from Beiping City than from Zizhuyuan. It's just that I've been busy with your business for the past two days, and I didn't bother to go back to the yamen to inquire, so I don't know if the Queen Mother has moved. I think the Gao Gong Guild specially reminded me that it is not without purpose. If the people of our family go to the Yanwang Mansion, I am afraid that not only will they meet the four princes, but even if they meet the Queen Mother to check whether the dowry of the granddaughter-in-law is rich enough, it is not unusual! ”
