Chapter Seventy-Six: Seeing Each Other
Bai Lu sat tall on the chaise longue above the main hall, dressed up in extremely grand makeup. Bai Lu was thinking, if the palace banquet tonight had to be so 'fully armed', then it would be better to deal with angina immediately.
"Lan Xi, where are the mother and brother?"
"Master, Xiao Li Zi is leading the old lady from the front hall, the two sons should be in the main hall at this moment to meet His Royal Highness the Night King, at lunchtime, they should come over to greet you."
"Give me a salute, and you will have lunch for ten points?" Bai Lu turned his head to look at Lan Xi suspiciously, and in the latter's extremely affirmative eyes, he searched for the various etiquette rules he had learned when choosing a concubine.
Let the elders give gifts to the juniors!
Just when Bai Lu wanted to complain about this speechless rule, Xiao Kaizi sang happily outside the door: "The old lady has arrived——"
Bai Lu subconsciously stood up when she heard this, and then sat down again with Lan Xi's head shaken, and Caiyun Chasing Moon on the side hurriedly stepped forward to carefully sort out Bai Lu's clothes.
The moment Mrs. Hang stepped into the lobby, she was stunned by the peerless beauty high above?
The eyebrows are like willow leaf shadows, the eyes are like pond water, the hair is dyed like ink, the nose is like a cliff pine, Yingying smiles and thousands of kisses, how many Jin Ge iron horse souls are buried!
Such a woman who has overwhelmed the country and the city and brought disaster to the country and the people is the daughter of an old body?
When Mrs. Hang was looking at her daughter, the girls who were waiting for her in Chaolu Courtyard were also thinking carefully about the shadow of their own mother.
Time is the most meticulous carver in the world!
Although Mrs. Hang is only in her thirties, she looks a little old in the baptism of life. Although he is now dressed in bright and luxurious clothes and has exquisite makeup, he still can't hide the traces of his hard life.
After tasting and going, everyone in Chaolu Courtyard could only confirm in the end: Mrs. Hang's eyes and face were very similar to her own mother.
Bai Lu looked at Mrs. Hang and was stunned and didn't speak, Lan Xi and the girls on the side were also silent one by one, the atmosphere was very embarrassing and weird, and she hurriedly coughed.
"Ahem—"
"Old lady, please-" Seeing that the master was in a hurry, Xiao Lizi, who didn't get a reply from Lan Xi's eyes, had no choice but to lead Old Madam Hang forward again.
"Concubine Hang's Gongren, meet Concubine Hang's Niangniang, I wish Niangniang a healthy body and a long life!"
"Mother, quick, get up!"
As soon as Mrs. Hang finished seeing the ceremony, Bai Lu stood up as if she was burning her buttocks, and she felt infinite grief in her heart, asking her biological mother to say goodbye to her, I don't know if God will settle accounts after the autumn - to fold her life.
"Mother, can you go all the way?"
"All right, all right. It's just that your two sisters-in-law couldn't stand a little bumpy and got a little motion sickness, which delayed the trip. ”
Bai Lu knew that although the sisters-in-law had worked hard all the way to the capital, they had not been given the body of the edict, and they had not yet come to the Night King's Mansion, and they didn't know when they would be able to return to the Hangzhou family in a bright future.
"The sisters-in-law are here, and the little nephews are here too?"
"Yes, they all came to the capital, and when they came, the master said that the Kyoto bell and drum food and jade were not expensive enough, and the jade plate was worth thousands of dollars. As soon as the clansmen put it together, they decided that let's take the lead and see if there are any good ways to give birth to future babies after gaining a foothold in Kyoto. ”
Although Mrs. Hang recited a wrong verse, it was such a far-fetched verse that instantly made everyone present no longer regard her as an ignorant old lady from the countryside.
If the respect at the beginning was because of Concubine Hang's white dew, then now it is a little more respect from the heart.
"It's okay, mother, if you have anything to help in the future, just look for Xiao Lizi. By the way, mother, let me introduce you, this is Lan Xi, her daughter's personal female official, and this is Xiao Lizi, her daughter's steward eunuch, and this is Caiyun, who makes a good dish, this is chasing the moon......"
Everyone came forward one by one to greet Mrs. Hang, and two girls from the Hang family hurriedly stepped forward to send the rewards of the Hang Mansion.
Bai Lu helped the old lady to sit down on the side, and Lan Xi directed everyone to put melons and fruits on the snacks in an orderly manner, well, there were musicians playing music.
Listening to the beautiful and moving melody, Bai Lu's eyes fluttered, it turned out that there were musicians in his yard, and there would be one more amusement in the future.
"Mother, you try it, these are dim sums made according to the imperial recipe in the palace, if you think which ones are delicious, bring some back and give them to your sister-in-law and little nephews to try."
"Okay, okay, thank you for hanging up!"
Hearing this heartwarming words, Mrs. Hang's heart finally put into her stomach. Although the daughter has only been raised for a year, there is still some affection in her heart.
From the beginning of chatting about family life, the mother and daughter seem to have a common topic, no longer so restrained, and the atmosphere is much more harmonious.
It wasn't until mid-noon, when Bai Lu was about to set up a feast, that she realized that her brothers had not yet come.
She couldn't help but look at Xiao Lizi, "Xiao Lizi, go to the front house to inquire when the brothers will come." ”
"Yes, master, don't worry, the prince is the two princes who met in person!"
The Night King gave his face like this, and the entire Hangfu and Chaolu Courtyard felt that there was light on their faces, and they were full of energy.
Bai Lu was a little unimpressed, it was precisely because Zhu Ziyu personally met him, with his fastidious temperament, maybe there will be two brothers who will burrow in the ground.
As Bai Lu said, at this moment, the two sons of the Hang family are sweating and answering the Night King's questions, and the gut-searching will tell them what they know, about Bai Lu, big and small.
"By the way, Lan Xi, are we going to accompany our mother for a while to greet the princess's sister?"
Lan Xi nodded, "According to the rules, the old lady came for the first time, and she should meet the princess and the concubine." But the concubine needs to be summoned. In the future, when the old lady comes to the palace again, she doesn't have to go to ask for peace again and again, just when her heart arrives. ”
When the old lady heard this, her hands and feet trembled uncontrollably.
Bai Lu hurriedly grabbed Mrs. Hang's hand, "Mother, the concubine is a bodhisattva-like person, and the princess's sister is also a very kind person. Besides, after lunch, I will accompany you over. ”
Old Madam Hang nodded, hoping that this concubine and the night princess were all on good terms, and also hoped that what Xiao Li's father-in-law said was the truth, and her daughter was popular in this princess, and it was rare to recruit people.
Bai Lu accompanied her mother to pull around, hoping to divert Mrs. Hang's tense emotions. Over there, Lan Xi has already asked people to prepare more than a dozen tables, just waiting for the two uncles to come.
After a while, Xiao Lizi ran over sweating profusely, "Back to the master, the two uncles have already opened a banquet in the front mansion." ”
"Qianfu, open the table? The prince set the table for my brothers——? Bai Lu looked incredulous, when he heard that the old father-in-law of the Wang family came, Zhu Ziyu only sat down slightly, toasted a few glasses of wine and left.
"Yes, the prince ordered the table to be set up, let Chief Manager Wu accompany you! The prince is eating in Danyang Courtyard at the moment. ”
"Oh—" And so it was! It seems that this guy still wants to see the excitement for a while, and sure enough, the prince who has not been in the domain is in a panic.
After Bai Lu sighed, he hurriedly shouted to Lan Xi: "Lan Xi, hurry, go to the table, otherwise the food will be cold in a while." ”
"Mother, these dishes, but they are all made by Caiyun chasing the moon and spring, summer, autumn and winter, you have to eat more, my daughter eats every day, she can't get tired of eating, but it's delicious!"
"Okay, okay, then I'll trust my daughter's mouth for my mother!"
Mrs. Hang happily patted Bai Lu's green little hand, and the mother and daughter snuggled towards the dining room.
