Chapter 42: The Mansion of the State of Qi
"Heh......" Duanmu Qing saluted and took the gift box held by the palace maid, but smiled lightly, it was a little abrupt in this quiet hall, but her voice was full of aura, but there was a freshness that made people feel like a spring breeze.
Seeing that everyone was looking at her with puzzled eyes, Duanmu Qing tilted his head and looked at the queen with a smile and said, "Niangniang, this bend is so big." ”
She acted like this, bringing some girlish cuteness and cunning, which made people think that she was only a girl under the age of thirteen.
The queen's face was impassive, still with a shallow smile, "Oh? What did Miss Duanmu say? ”
Pursed her lips, but the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were full of smiles, "The queen's step is clearly not for the courtiers, the mother knows that the courtiers are still filial piety, how could they send me such a gorgeous step!" And this step is still in the style of pine branches, and the pine and cypress represent longevity, but isn't it to be rewarded to grandmother? ”
The queen couldn't hold back her laughter suddenly, but she couldn't reach the bottom of her eyes with a smile, "This girl turns out to be a ghost!" Old lady Duanmu is so blessed. ”
"Niangniang praised it falsely, Qing'er doesn't know etiquette, and the hall is talking nonsense, and I hope Niangniang will forgive her for being young."
Hearing Duanmu Qing's words, the old lady breathed a sigh of relief, and she also knew that what was behind was the scene of things.
It's just that I'm still a little frightened, if the green girl really took the step shake, according to the queen's words, she would have to take this step shake to visit relatives and friends in the first month, but her mother has only been over for more than a month, and it is obviously out of order at this time.
At that time, everyone will not think that this step is given by the queen, and they will only think that she does not keep filial piety, so that her reputation will be completely ruined, and as a woman, the future will be worrying.
"Why did you talk nonsense? It turned out that Bengong was about to say something wrong for a while, how could Bengong give Miss Duanmu such a step shake when she was on sale? It is prepared for you. ”
With a decent and dignified smile on her face, the queen sat in the depths of the hall, making people feel as if they were far away in the sky.
At this time, the old lady did not shirk, saluted and thanked her, and calmly accepted the gift box.
After sitting for a while, the queen let everyone disperse, and she hurried to accept the congratulations of the hundred officials with the emperor.
Coming out of Kunning Palace, along the way, the old lady had a smile on her face, and it wasn't until she got into her own carriage that she showed a faint angry face, and Duanmu Qing couldn't help but secretly say: "The old lady is also a master of acting." ”
"It seems that the Yongding Marquis Temple is too small!" Such a sentence popped out without a head, which surprised both Duanmu Qing and the Lin family.
Lin Shi glanced at Duanmuqing, hurriedly poured a glass of water and handed it to the old lady, and said with a smile: "What did mother say?" But tired? Why don't you sleep for a while, and when you get to the Hou Mansion, I'll call you again? ”
When she said this, the old lady also glanced at Duanmu Qing, then gradually eased her color, and said to Duanmu Qing with a smile: "The queen has a lot of things to do in the new year, but I'm afraid that I forgot that you are still in the heat of filial piety, and you have to react quickly." ”
Sweetly showing a smile, Duanmu Qing said with a smile: "I know, Niangniang is the mother of a country, and she will be sent in the next year, and our family is one of the emperor's many courtiers, where can I remember so much." ”
The old lady nodded secretly, only those who are calm can achieve great things, they have never been dissatisfied with the personality of their mother and daughter in the past, and the reason why they like her to follow her is also because of her transformation, which is indeed likable.
After this time, the old lady's heart has changed a lot, judging from today's events, her eldest granddaughter is not only smart, but also brave and good at coping, which is really a material that can be created.
The third day of the Lunar New Year is the day of going to my uncle, and in previous years, Qiu Tian had no mother's family, and he was regarded as a rootless person. Dafang Lin's maiden family is no longer in Tianjing, so he can only stay in the mansion, so the Yongding Hou Mansion, and only the Zhou family took Duanmu You and Duanmu Su back to the mansion of the Ministry of Rites.
And this year, Li Ningshuang has been promoted as the wife of the main room, although she is the step-room, but strictly speaking, she is indeed the mother of Duanmu Cang, Duanmu Qing, Duanmu Bi and others, so on this day of going to the uncle, they will also go to the Qi State Mansion together.
In this regard, Cai Wei and Lu Xi were a little worried, but Duanmu Qing seemed very calm, quite fearless, but the light breeze made them be careful.
The Mansion of Qi is naturally different from the Mansion of the Marquis of Yongding, if the Mansion of the Marquis of Yongding is a house surrounded by flowers, then the Mansion of the Duke of Qi is the trend of cooking oil with fire.
Seeing the majestic imperial pen plaque, Duanmu Qing had to admit that counting the big names in Xiqi today, the Qi State Mansion can be regarded as the first.
Duanmu Zi had already been helped out of the carriage by the maid with a spring breeze on his face, and greeted the old ladies who greeted him in front of the weeping flower door with a light car.
And the young masters and ladies of the Qi State Mansion also came out at this time, and the cousins and cousins were not called equally.
Li Yanyu, the eldest son of the third room of the Duke of Qi, is also a rare young talent, and he is even in the top three at a young age, and he is very respected by the emperor.
And Duanmu Cang is also a character, not very old, but he guards the important Luoyang Pass.
The two families have such a relationship here, and they often meet on weekdays because of the movement of relatives, although they are one article and one martial arts, but they also have a lot of common topics.
At this time, knowing that Duanmu Cang was coming, Li Yanyu immediately greeted him, and brought a few of his other brothers, and several of them gossiped while walking in lively.
In this way, Duanmu Qing and Duanmu Bi seemed to stand alone.
Duanmu Qing didn't care, just quietly followed their footsteps forward, but suddenly his sleeve was grabbed.
When I turned my face to look, I saw Duanmu Bi's timid face, which seemed to be a little afraid.
For this sister-in-law, Duanmuqing has no memory anymore, in her previous life, she seemed to be married to a second son of someone's family, and she was the old lady who was the master.
It's just that the family is not very Xuanhe, but it is still okay to match Duanmubi, as for what happened after marriage, Duanmuqing no longer remembers.
In my memory, this sister has always been hidden in the corner, as if she is very afraid of seeing people, and does not like to be exposed to people.
"There's nothing to be afraid of, if you don't want to talk, just don't say it." Duanmu Qing said softly, with some gentleness in his tone.
Duanmu Bi was stunned for a moment, then nodded gratefully and smiled.
The front was surrounded by Duanmu Zi, but Li Jingwan suddenly took a few steps back and walked to Duanmu Bi's side, took her hand enthusiastically, and said with a smile: "This is Sister Bi!" Sure enough, it was a neat appearance, and Sister Zi didn't lie. ”
While talking, he pulled Duanmu Bi into the group of people in front, leaving Duanmu Qing alone to walk alone.
Duanmu Bi walked forward, and turned his head to Duanmu Qing with an embarrassed look.
Duanmu Qing just smiled slightly, and did not mean to blame.
The old woman's yard was very spacious, the sun was good, and a high rockery was deliberately set up behind the house, and there was no cold wind.
Therefore, although there are many guests, they still choose to receive them in the courtyard.
Duanmu Qing approached the courtyard and saw Mrs. Li holding Li Ningshuang's hand and talking affectionately, and the other ladies had already taken their seats.
Seeing her come in, Old Madam Li smiled kindly, pointed to a chair not far from her, and said, "The eldest lady of the Hou Mansion is here, the eldest sister will sit here!" Come closer to me, so you can talk. ”
"The old lady really loves the third aunt and grandmother, and she is so happy today."
A woman in a water-red brocade sat down in front of Mrs. Li's seat with a smile and peeled pine nuts for her and smiled.
"Okay, who wants you to be filial for the New Year? Go down and sit down! Old Madam Li said to the woman with a smile.
The woman didn't say too much, nodded obediently and sat down.
Duanmu Qing noticed that the second lady of the Li family, who was standing next to Li Ningshuang, clenched the handkerchief in her hand for a moment.
"This is your second brother's newly raised Aunt Chen, although the family is ruined, but she is a knowledgeable and courteous person, and she is also a filial piety, in the end, she is a girl from a serious family, you haven't seen it yet!" Old Madam Li obviously liked this new Aunt Chen very much, and she had a smile on her face when she spoke.
Li Ningshuang was raised by Mrs. Li, how could she not understand her preferences, she hurriedly took off a bracelet from her hand when she heard this, and said with a smile: "Since you are a newcomer to the second brother, you should also have some expressions about how to be a younger sister, but I know it late, and I don't have time to prepare, and I hope my aunt will not dislike it." ”
Chen was busy saluting, and he was humble enough to excuse himself.
Yan Shi immediately smiled in the main room of the second room on the side, "My aunt gave it, take it well, everyone is a family, what are you doing with so many false courtesies." ”
The Chen family accepted it at this time, and it was Xie Li Ningshuang again, and it was the old lady Xie Li again, and finally thanked the Yan family again.
Li Kai, the second master of the Li family, also has a lot of concubines, although the Chen family is the latest to come in, and now she is also the most happy, but she is also the most measured.
There was a lively group of people here, and there were little maids hurrying in over there, "A few princes are here." ”
Suddenly, the yard was busy again.
The queen is the concubine of the Duke of Qi, and now she is the mother of all the princes and princesses in the palace.
So although the yard is busy, if you look closely, you can see that all the maids and ladies are doing things in an orderly manner, and they are obviously familiar with it.
After a while, in the eyes of everyone, led by Zhao Yuxing, Zhao Yufeng, Zhao Yuxuan, Zhao Yujin, and Zhao Yuhong followed in.
Suddenly, the appearance of talented men and women in a courtyard made people lose their eyes when they looked at it.
