In late March, the silkworm ceremony.

Afu has never been sealed, but after all, she is also the main mother of the next generation of the Pei family, so she went to the banquet in white embarrassed.

Everyone else is wearing big clothes with grades, red and purple, but she is still a civilian strictly speaking, and she can only wear cyan.

Wanwan went to the tailor to lay out an extremely precious Shudi silk, and dyed it in smoke and blue to ensure that this dress was not overtasted, but also the only precious in the capital.

Afu tried it, and she felt a little extravagant, Shuyu leaned on the Hu bed, his eyes full of satisfaction: "Not bad." This dress is not out of order and noble enough, very good, and Wanwan's brain is flexible enough. ”

won the praise of the second master, and bowed Wanwan excitedly.

Afu pouted: "When I praise it, I don't see Wanwan so happy." ”

Wanwan helped her take off her clothes and fold them up: "Look at what Mrs. said, why is the slave unhappy?" If there is a reward, it is naturally good. ”

The servants prepared themselves for sleep and rushed out.

Shuyu took her into his arms and told her in every detail: "You have memorized the advance and retreat of the silkworm ceremony tomorrow, right?" ”

"Hmm."

"The queen officiates, don't make mistakes, it's a small matter of losing face, and you are uncomfortable when you are reprimanded by her."

"Hmm."

"After the ceremony is completed, the ladies will go to the queen's palace to listen to the training, my eldest sister is not of enough grade, and most of the people who are good friends with the Pei family next to him are closer to the queen, and you can't find someone to protect you for a while, so you should be cautious yourself, and the queen will probably not go too far."

"Hmm."

"Even if you are wronged, you should bear with it first, come home, and say to your husband."

"Hmm."

Listening to his constant advice, Afu suddenly felt as if he was going to go on an expedition, turned over in his arms, and hugged his neck: "Husband, if you go to war in the future, you have to take Afu with you." ”

Shu Yu smiled: "What are you talking about, how can you take you with you in a war?" Arms and legs are flying all over the sky, and they frighten you. ”

Afu coquettish: "It's that the arms and legs are flying all over the sky, and with the husband here, Afu is also more at ease." ”

Now she feels more and more that her mother's family is unreliable, but her husband, even if there are sometimes discord, but on the whole, she always thinks about her stupidly.

Now I can mention her in such detail, compared with the time when I first got married, it is no longer the same.

Shuyu smiled at her flattery: "Go to sleep, if I don't let you go tonight, tomorrow at the silkworm ceremony, you will have back pain and leg pain, everyone will see the joke!" ”

When Afu heard this, she immediately closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.

Wearing that gorgeous dress, Afu did not fall behind in a pile of shining noblewomen.

Pei Erye's reputation for favoring his wife has long been spread, and no one in the vendor at the gate of Xuanyangfang has ever seen the two of them greasy and crooked.

Women tend to only respect women who are loved by men, although this is not good, but it is a fact, and even the queen, because of Afu's favor, has also restrained a little.

Afu, as usual, must go to Mu Shuyuan and Mu Liangren when entering the palace.

As soon as she mentioned to the two Mu Niangniang that Xiang Chun and Xiang Yan were going to marry the Li family's wife and concubine, the two Niangniang were almost shocked: "Why are you so hard? If you are proposing to marry happily, it is good to find a cloth dress with your heart; If you seek power, this kind of marriage can be regarded as a lintel dust, right?"

As soon as Afu thought of this, her head was big: "Alas... It's not like I didn't advise... Alas..."

Mu Liangdao: "Don't worry about it, this kind of housework, married daughter, the farther away the better, not to mention that you and your eldest sister have not dealt with each other since childhood." ”

Afu nodded: "I don't dare to care, my father.."

She remembered the farce of that day, and wished she could close her eyes and let it all go away.

The three sisters said a few words of affection, and Afu was ready to leave.

The sun is still early, and it will take a while for the palace gate to be keyed.

Afu suddenly remembered that she had met Qiao Guifei on the city tower during the Lantern Festival, and this concubine took care of herself, since she was okay now, it was better to visit.

She said to the attendant who led the way: "I still want to visit Qiao Niangniang, and I ask my father-in-law to show me the way." ”

Qiao Guifei was sitting under the porch teasing the cat. Seeing Afu coming, it was obviously a little unexpected: "Mrs. Pei is here?" ”

Afu smiled and saluted: "Afu is here to say hello to the mother!" The mother's grade is enough, how can she not come to the silkworm ceremony? ”

Qiao Guifei smiled slightly: "Afu, sit down." ”

She looked at the sun: "It's a little hot, and I'm tired of you walking back and forth in your coat." His eyes fell on Afu's chic dress: "Hey, your dress looks good." ”

Afu lifted the hem and said with a smile: "Afu is still white now, she can't wear a dress, and she is afraid of underestimating this big scene, so the husband said, make a smoke-blue dress to wear." ”

Qiao Guifei pursed her lips and smiled: "Shu Yu is attentive to you." How are you two doing? ”

Afu nodded: "Thanks to Niangniang's blessing, everything is fine." ”

Qiao Guifei didn't speak again, and fell silent for a while.

Afu felt that something was wrong with her, and she didn't dare to ask rashly, so she sat down on one side.

After a long time, Concubine Qiao said softly: "Today.. March 20: It's my father's birthday. ”

Ave looked up at her.

Qiao Guifei bent down and stroked the cat's back. The cat didn't move, it didn't move, it rested its chin on the top of the concubine's feet, and squinted comfortably.

"I... I don't know what year he was born. I heard that my grandfather's family was poor, and the poor were poorer, and he had many brothers and sisters, but they were all gone. It is God's grace that he survived. ”

"I always felt that since God was gracious once, he should not have taken him six years ago. Elephant array, he is not the first time to encounter, how to..."

Qiao Guifei's voice was crying, she stopped abruptly, choked up, stubbornly lowered her head, and touched the cat over and over again.

Ah Fu sighed in her heart, approached Concubine Qiao, and patted her on the back gently: "Niangniang, forgive the concubine for her courage." Si Ren has passed away, and now all Niangniang can do is to live her own life, don't let General Qiao have a spirit in the sky, worry about you. ”

Concubine Qiao didn't answer, and her tears dripped to the ground.

"The concubine's aunt, Mrs. Li, is still alive, so she can move around more, and the emperor can understand if she wants to come."

Qiao Guifei snorted softly, as if she was a little contemptuous, and Afu didn't dare to say any more.

Her voice was misty: "If my father really had a spirit in heaven, he would have told me how he was plotted and died tragically in the elephant array." When a person dies, he dies, and he dies. ”

This made Afu feel a little sorry in her heart, and she was so panicked that she could only gently stroke her back to show comfort.

But her companionship and comfort made Concubine Qiao's heartache more and more difficult to contain, and she sobbed and cried for half an afternoon until the palace gate was closed.

Afu had to leave, and she was still a little reluctant to go, so she saluted Concubine Qiao and said, "It's the concubine who came unfortunately, which aroused the sadness of the mother." Another day, Afu will come again to apologize to her mother. ”

Qiao Guifei cried so much that she had two swollen eye bubbles the size of walnuts on her face, laughed when she heard the words, and took Afu's hand and said, "Thanks to you, I can cry." It's my duty to thank you. ”

personally sent her to the gate of Nanchi Palace, Afu was flattered, and asked again and again, and Concubine Qiao was supported back by the maid.

Shuyu was also busy driving this day, and he only came back at sunset.

Before the coat was taken off, he was busy asking Afu how everything was going to be when she entered the palace today.

Afu smiled: "Everything is fine, the queen mother let me go." ”

Shu Yu saw her smile happily, and only let go of his heart after hanging for a day, and said to Sakura Sakura, who was making rice: "No need, I brought food back from Beijing Yipin today, saying that I hired a cook from Yuyang." Didn't your wife grow up in Yuyang since she was a child? Just taste whether it is authentic or not. ”

Afu Ke was really surprised, his index finger moved, and his eyes stared at Shu Yu, just waiting for him to conjure up a few food boxes.

Shu Yu was satisfied, called Zhou He to send it up, watched Afu taste it one by one like a little squirrel, happily narrowed his eyes into a slit, and said with a smile: "How is it compared to your Yuyang Gan's mother's meal?" ”

Afu was vague: "That's naturally my godmother's delicious.."

The more I taste, the more I miss, remembering that in previous years, I spent in my godmother's house from early summer to early autumn, and last year I didn't go because I just got married, and I haven't seen my godmother for two years, so I can't help but pull Shuyu's sleeve and begg: "Husband, I want to go back to Yuyang to see my godmother!" ”
