Chapter 516: Going to the Banquet
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Mrs. Zhu: "Look where you keep talking?" Didn't I come up with a solution? Fortunately, Miss Qing is here, don't worry, I will take you into the palace tomorrow! ”
Mrs. Zhu cried with joy, and Mrs. Zhu said, "Don't go back today, you must stay with me, this is not another place, it is your old home." ”
Mrs. Zhu hesitated and wanted to refuse, but Mrs. Zhu couldn't say anything, so she ordered someone to clean up the room, and asked the little maid to go back with Qingwan to pick up the luggage.
Seeing that the matter had been successfully completed, Qingwan also stood up and said with a smile: "Madame, don't worry, I'll send a guy to send my mother's things over later." The aunt doesn't have anything, that is, a few things that are close-fitting, and the rest are still left with me, if the aunt still wants to come back and shop, the things are ready-made. ”
"I have everything here, so I'll just send me the usual ones. Mrs. Zhu said with a smile: "Now that I have found it, I will not let the old man leave no matter what." ”
Qingwan was about to say goodbye, but Mrs. Zhu sent her outside the door, and whispered: "I have to trouble Miss Qing once, I will pick you up tomorrow, and we will send the eldest lady into the palace together." One more person, it's better to blend in, and I'm a little more down-to-earth. ”
"Madame don't have to worry," Qingwan agreed: "As long as there is a place where I am needed, just say hello." ”
Mrs. Zhu was relieved and sent her out of the house to get into the carriage before returning to the house.
Back at the makeup shop, Lu Xiufang, who was busy working in front of the counter, had already come up to ask what was going on, Qingwan told Mrs. Zhu's life experience in detail, Lu Xiufang was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth: "I said why didn't the eldest lady come back together, it turns out that there is such a thing!" Sister Fang, are you sure? ”
Qingwan smiled slightly: "There are no ten, there are eight points." ”
"I knew that Sister Fang would have no problem doing anything!" Lu Xiufang looked at her adoringly: "Then Aunt Zhu won't come back in the future?" ”
Before Qingwan could reply, he saw the guy come in with a letter: "The owner, it was sent by the stagecoach just now." ”
"Is it a letter from your hometown?" Lu Xiufang asked first. Nine times out of ten, all the letters that come from the stagecoach come from my hometown.
Qingwan hurriedly took it and took a look, and it was indeed her father's familiar handwriting on the cover, she quickly opened it, and while looking at it, her eyes were already red.
My father said in the letter that everything was fine with my mother, and Hanguang had also come back twice, and he had learned well from his master and had grown a lot. A few days ago, Hanjuan and his wife also came back, Hanjuan was already happy, and the Ji family was extremely happy. Hanjuan brought back another piece of news, He's suddenly fell ill last month, and Sakura, who was pregnant, was in a hurry and was born prematurely. Fortunately, after taking the medicine prescribed by Qingwan, the fetal gas is stable, and a boy has been born safely, and the mother and child are safe. He's illness has also been saved. and instructed Qingwan not to rush home in a hurry, and to pay attention to her life in the capital.
Qingwan's heart followed the words on the letter, up and down, a burst of joy and a burst of sadness. I'm glad that Sakura has finally saved herself, but it's sad because of this kind of thing, and she hasn't picked up her parents yet.
"Sister Fang, what did the letter say? There's nothing going on at home, right? Lu Xiufang asked.
"It's not a big deal," Qingwan shook her head: "Sister Xiuwan, do you know where to sell baby products in the capital?" I want to go buy some and come back. ”
"How?" Lu Xiufang looked surprised: "Who added the little master?" ”
"It's a neighbor of mine, excellent from a small place. His sister-in-law had just given birth to a boy, so I had to buy something nice to congratulate me. ”
"I see," Lu Xiufang suddenly realized: "Don't worry, it's all on me!" I don't dare to say anything else, I am familiar with the places that sell things in the capital! But how do you send it back after you buy it? Take it with a stagecoach? ”
At the mention of this, Qingwan hesitated, she thought, try to find a way to go back to her hometown within a few days, and she didn't want to delay it any longer. If she could, she would be able to carry her things with her faster than a stagecoach could carry them.
"I haven't thought about this yet," Qingwan smiled: "It's better to accompany me to buy things back first!" ”
Lu Xiufang readily agreed, and Qingwan first packed up Mrs. Zhu's things and sent Changyong to Zhu's mansion. Then the two immediately went to the street, Lu Xiufang took her to the largest baby products store in the capital, everything was available, Qingwan bought two large bags, and when night fell, she didn't go back to the shop, and went back to the house directly.
Early the next morning, she still came to the shop as usual, busy and busy, but Qingwan didn't forget about Mrs. Zhu for a moment, I don't know what happened?
"Wei Dongjia, our wife invites you and Miss Lu to come over, and a banquet has been prepared in the evening, please be sure to enjoy the light." The little guy from the Zhu Mansion suddenly came and said respectfully.
As soon as she heard this, Qingwan's heart became eight points more steady: it seems that things are going well.
"Okay, you go back and thank your wife for us first, and when the business in the shop is done, we will go over."
The little servant of the Zhu family agreed and went back to his life.
"Sister Fang, I wonder if Aunt Zhu has seen the queen mother? Tell us to go to Zhufu, will there be anything? Lu Xiufang was still a little worried.
"Don't worry," Qingwan smiled slightly: "It's time for eight or nine to be ten." You just dress up and wait to go to the feast. ”
Lu Xiufang immediately smiled, forcibly pulled Qingwan to the back room, found out the clothes one by one, tried left and right, and finalized a set in half a day.
Qingwan didn't care about this, thinking that she would just change into an ordinary set of plain clothes for a while. Lu Xiufang was full of interest, so she tried several sets as well, and finally asked her to set a set of delicate colors of willow yellow, Qingwan was a little funny: "Forget it, forget it, thank you for your kindness, I still wear this set of moon white." ”
Lu Xiufang was slightly disappointed, and when she saw that set of clothes was worn on Qingwan's body, she looked like a fairy in the Moon Palace, and couldn't help but admire: "Sister Fang looks good in whatever she wears!" ”
"Okay, there are so many guests outside, the guys must be too busy, hurry up and go out to help." Qingwan forced her out, and the two of them were busy until dusk, and there were far fewer guests
The two went back to the room to dress up, and the Zhu Mansion had already sent a carriage to wait. Qingwan instructed Cheng Yong: "If Young Master Lu comes over in a while, tell him that the two of us went to Zhu's mansion for a banquet, and it was invited by Mrs. Zhu, please don't worry about it." ”
Cheng Yong hurriedly agreed. In the past few days, although the battle on the front line has been victorious, there are still a lot of things, Lu Yanyi is often busy until midnight to come out of the palace, and he can't go to the cosmetics shop, if there are few things on a certain day, Lu Yanyi always tries to come back before dusk.
When the little servant of the Zhu family saw them come out, they hurriedly lifted the curtain of the car, and the two got into the car and headed towards Zhu's mansion in the night.
Under the leadership of the servant, the two came to the inner courtyard, and as soon as they stepped through the door, they saw Mrs. Zhu greeting them under the eaves.
"I'm waiting for you!" When Mrs. Zhu saw it, she smiled and said, "I calculated that at this time, there are still so many customers in the shop?" ”
"It's been a long time for Madame to wait." The two saluted, and Qingwan smiled.
"It doesn't matter, come in, today's venison from outside the tribute, the queen mother specially rewarded, let's use some together."
"Where's Aunt Zhu?" Qingwan looked around, but didn't see anyone, so she couldn't help asking, "Where have you been?" ”
"I'll tell you more." Mrs. Zhu smiled and beckoned them to sit down. A large round table sits in the middle of the room, with a list of delicacies, including a steaming hot pot with the unique aroma of wild game.
"Looking at Madame's appearance, everything should be going well, right?" Qingwan said with a smile.
Exactly," Mrs. Zhu was very happy when she mentioned this: "Thanks to your idea." This morning, I asked someone to go to the palace to inquire, the queen happened to have few things, so I asked Zhu Nanniang to change into the homely clothes in the house, and took her into the palace. In the end, the meaning is different, connected to the heart! Grandma Zhu's dress, the queen mother recognized it at a glance! ”
Lu Xiufang couldn't help but sigh: "The queen is benevolent, and she has never forgotten it for so many years!" ”
"You haven't seen the scene at that time," Mrs. Zhu also sighed: "For so many years, the queen mother has always been pampered and not surprised, I have rarely seen the mother so excited, and I cried at that time, that kind of sadness and sadness, it is really hard and sad." The queen said at the time that she would never let Grandma Zhu go out again, so she let her live in the palace! ”
"What?" Qingwan was taken aback when she heard this: "Stay in the palace? How can this work? There are many people in the palace, and if someone finds out, isn't it an obstacle to the queen's mother? ”
"I said the same at first," Mrs. Zhu said, "but the queen insisted on doing so, saying that now is no more reliable than a few years ago, and the appearance of Mrs. Zhu has changed a lot, unless you are particularly familiar with it, you can't recognize it." Let's just say that our family sent it in, and the old chef who is good at making dim sum will be fine. Since the queen insisted on saying so, I didn't dare to say anything more. ”
"What about Aunt Zhu, what did she say?"
Grandma Zhu didn't agree at first, for fear of causing trouble to the queen's mother, but she couldn't help it, and finally had to agree. But I think that the queen has always been cautious in doing things, and she must be sure of it. ”
"Madame said the same," Qingwan said, "The queen has spoken, and we can only obey the order." Aunt Zhu is so old now, I'm afraid it's really hard for anyone to recognize her. ”
"Yes," Mrs. Zhu also said: "Niangniang's intelligence is difficult for us to achieve." By the way, the queen also specially instructed me, saying that I am very grateful to you for this, I have not had a chance to let you enter the palace recently, and I will definitely give you a big gift in the future! ”
Qingwan hurriedly smiled: "This is what I should do, the queen mother said so, how dare I bear it?" ”
