Chapter 288: Emperor Xu's Birthday (1)

After three days, the lady of the Tang family came to the door and prepared tea for everyone. Tang's second sister-in-law didn't beat around the bush, and said that her brother Yu was depressed at home these days, and said that she was scared by going into the water that day, and when she asked, she realized that it was Sister Ci'er and they refused to play with him.

Originally, this kind of matter between children is not easy to manage as a parent. But Tang's second sister-in-law was also anxious when she saw her son's sullen heart, and she couldn't hide her words, so she simply came to ask the fourth sister for help.

As soon as Diancui heard it, she knew that it was her daughter's fault, a total of five children in the family, except for Xizhao as Sister Ci'er's personal maid, none of the people next to her were treated as subordinates. But these children are only Sister Ci'er who is looking forward to it, Sister Ci said that she doesn't play with Brother Yu'er, and the rest of the people are not all hiding from others!

Dian Cui persuaded the second sister-in-law of the Tang family to leave, and promised that Tang Yu would come again today, and she would definitely not be excluded again.

It happened that Yuan Zhiheng was resting today, and the couple called Sister Ci to him, and they educated him. This kid said that Tang Yu didn't know how to water, so everyone couldn't play with water, so they didn't play with him.

"Look at the good girl you raised, you have done something wrong, and you are reasonable." Diancui couldn't help complaining, Yuan Zhiheng didn't care about the wind and water outside, and he had to obediently suffer the complaints of this little lady at home.

After thinking about it for a while, I said that we can't completely blame Sister Ci for this matter, which child doesn't like to play in the water, child, the more you stop her, the more she wants to play......

Although Yuan Zhiheng himself has no childhood, he is a little cui and has two sisters, and he has no childhood, and he has also summed up the experience of "raising a daughter" for him.

"What should I do?" Diancui sighed, she couldn't control it anymore.

"Now there are five small ones in the family, plus Brother Li and Second Brother Tang's family, as well as the third brother Brother Huai'er, there are nine in total, among which Brother Dong is only two years old, and Brother Huai'er is less than seven years old, which is not big. When the time comes, when our house is built, we will set up a special courtyard for them to do literary and martial arts classes, and the lake behind it can be used for teaching swimming and boating......"

Dian Cui was overjoyed and said, "The water pavilion can also be made bigger for them to learn to play the piano, paint, play chess and fish." ”

"No matter how awesome, you will draw inferences." Yuan Zhiheng pinched her tender cheeks.

The two have been married for five or six years, and Yuan Zhiheng still can't let go of it in the first two years, and those intimate actions have to be at night, and the more they go on, the more handy they become. As Sister Ci'er grew up, the relationship between the two became stronger.

Diancui puffed out his cheeks, tense and didn't ask him to pinch it. The two parents frolicked for a while, and Dian Cui laughed breathlessly, and didn't forget to ask:

"The school is arranged, so who is the right person to be the master?"

Qingyun, as Sister Ci'er's master, taught some basic martial arts in Su Ri, which is also called literacy and reading, but did not urge her, only let her play more and watch more, which belongs to free-range. In addition, Qingyun is Yuan Zhiheng's staff, and he has to come forward to deal with some things, so he can't teach Sister Ci every day.

"I, Qingyun and Xue Dachuan can all teach if they are empty, a good master can be met but not sought, first stabilize the hearts of these children, and take their time." Yuan Zhiheng didn't know that the old lady was also looking for someone to inquire about the master with Sister Ci, and he planned to ask the priest of the Guozijian to help recommend one or two.

Dian Cui knew that if she was tired of the wine lord, then the master who invited her would definitely let it be great, so she took out a box from the bedside, in which 28,000 taels of silver tickets were placed, and handed it to Yuan Zhiheng.

Yuan Zhiheng smiled and said that there was no need for so much, but he still took five thousand taels cautiously, and said that you want to open a silk shop in the capital, and wait for everything to settle down.

Dian Cui smiled and said well, the price of goods in Beijing is much higher than that of Hangzhou, and the storefront shops are also expensive, so they naturally cost a lot of money. After moving back to Yuan's mansion, a large family has to be raised, although the minister has always been honest, but the people from top to bottom are inevitably sophisticated.

Her temperament has never been so hard and simple, she loves to wear gold and silver, and she also loves the delicacies of the mountains and seas, otherwise she would not be willing to be an aunt in her previous life...... With such a temperament, she doesn't want to compromise her children and family, so she must plan more in money, so that she can run their family so that her husband has no worries.

Yuan Zhiheng and his wife planned for Sister Ci'er, but they didn't know that Sister Ci'er herself had also made a small calculation for entering the palace tomorrow to celebrate the birthday of the imperial concubine.

"My mother said that I couldn't bring the maid in, but I heard that the palace is big and beautiful...... "Sister Ci'er got together with Xizhao and Zhu Ye, and whispered this, do you want to go and see?"

Such a beautiful place, Sister Ci wants her little friends to go with her, and Xizhao immediately waved her hand and shook her head and said that you can't go, you can't go, and whoever wants to go to the palace can go.

"Since we said that we won't let people in, we won't be able to enter the palace." Zhu Ye's little face tightened, and he said softly.

Early in the morning of the second day, Dian Cui, who was dressed up, got into the carriage with Sister Ci, and when they arrived at the gate of the palace, Yuan Zhiheng and their mother parted ways, and went to the Qianqing Palace to see the emperor first.

Diancui Niang and the two got out of the carriage and walked into the inner palace gate, but were stopped by the guards and eunuchs guarding the palace gate.

"Mrs. Yuan, on the list of people invited to the birthday of Emperor Xu's concubine, there are only three people in Shaozhan Taichang's Mansion, my lord, you and Ling Qianjin, who is this?" The eunuch bowed forward and stopped him very politely.

Diancui is wearing the popular crown of high wings today, the crown is very heavy, she straightens her neck all the way and walks dignifiedly, it is very hard.

After listening to the eunuch's words, Diancui turned around with great difficulty, and was surprised to find that there was not a sister who was followed closely, and there was a little leaf who bowed his head and held his breath without saying a word!

Diancui glared at Sister Ci'er fiercely, this look was her ghost idea.

"Nonsense!" Dian Cui scolded in a low voice, what kind of place is this, she dares to mess around like this, it seems that she should have found a teacher for her earlier.

"What happened, Madame Yuan?" The eunuchs in the palace have always come to see people put down dishes, but they are very flattering to Dian Cui, who has no orders in his body.

"It's nothing," Dian Cui said quickly, and then pointed to the two children behind him, and said with a sad face: "This girl in my family is weak from birth, so she has to be served by her side." This time, I was ordered by Emperor Xu to come to the banquet with her, but the day before she fell into the water and was frightened, she became more and more unable to leave the maid beside her. Father-in-law, see if you can be accommodating ...... "food."

As he spoke, he took out two ingots of gold from his bosom and stuffed them into the father-in-law's hand.

The father-in-law's eyelids jumped, this Mrs. Yuan is a generous person, and then look at the maid, she is not big, thin and weak, her face is very beautiful, and her complexion is fair, but compared to the black master and lady beside her, whether it is her appearance or bearing, she is not much better. It's the thick rouge and lipstick on his face, which makes people laugh.

The father-in-law lowered his eyes and bent down, and said to the palace maid on the side in a loud voice, Don't you quickly lead Mrs. Yuan and them to Wan'an Palace.

Diancui breathed a sigh of relief, and followed the palace maid forward, and along the way, she didn't have the heart to look at the magnificent inner courtyard of the palace, and glared fiercely at the ignorant Sister Ci'er, who shrank her neck and made a grimace with Xiao Yezi.

Wan'an Palace is magnificent, and it is even brighter from afar. Turning around the Changchun Palace and further north, beside a rockery that avoids people, the little palace maid who led the way in front paused slightly, deliberately approached Dian Cui's side, stretched out her arm almost invisibly, and stuffed a note into Dian Cui's hand.

Diancui was stunned, but his face was still silent, and then in the faint moonlight, he looked at the note in his palm, and there were only four words:

Remember to be patient.

Remember to forbear? This note seems to be a kind reminder, but from which side of the reminder, Dian Cui was a little confused, and asked softly, I don't know which lady is kind......

The palace maid walked in front, walking non-stop, her body did not move, and she spit out a sentence softly, and she was the master of this palace kindly.

Diancui nodded silently, the master in this palace said that it was naturally the queen's mother, and she didn't have much intersection with the queen's mother, where the Yuan Mansion was built, the mother sent a pattern booklet, and then there was no more edict. On the contrary, Emperor Xu sent people to send some rewards and deliver some words from time to time.

The queen mother let herself endure in front of Emperor Xu and Concubine Xu in Wan'an Palace, which means that there will be people over there who will make things difficult, and Xianggong said to himself before that there is no need to forbear, and he is not humble or arrogant, and Diancui fell into contemplation.

Diancui and the crowd waited to go in one by one to present birthday gifts to Emperor Xu, and Sister Ci and they were left in the side hall to wait.

There are still a lot of people waiting in the side hall, and most of them are the daughters of the noble lady who came to celebrate her birthday.

Sister Ci is looking at others, and people are also looking at her. Sister Ci'er has a dark complexion, but her facial features are extremely beautiful, and she is also very eye-catching among the little girls.

"Who are you?" A white and innocent little girl slowly came over and asked curiously, why haven't I seen you when I came to celebrate the birthday of the imperial concubine in previous years.

"My name is Yuan Xunzhen, and my father and mother call me Sister Ci, what about you?" Sister Ci felt that this palace was very depressing, and it was easy for someone to dare to speak, so she hurriedly responded to others.

The little girl smiled, revealing a small pear vortex, and said, "My name is Luo Diandian, and my father personally chose the name for me." ”

The little girl seemed to care very much about the strange name her father had chosen for her.

"My name was also given by my father." Sister Ci hurriedly said.

"Silence!" A grandmother guarding the hall said coldly, no matter whose daughter it is, she dares to whisper in the palace of the imperial concubine, and she is too ignorant of the rules.

"A child who has no mother since he was a child has no rules!" The speaker is a young lady from the side branch of the Xu family, this young lady is twenty-eight years old, but she is very ruthless when she speaks.

"That's it, and that black kid, who has never seen the world at first glance, dares to gossip here." Others hurriedly complied.

"Who she said doesn't have a mother?" Sister Ci turned around and asked Xiao Yezi puzzled, Xiao Yezi didn't mean Miss you.

Luo on the side bit his lip, but the tears were held back. Her mother-in-law went after giving birth to her younger brother, and at the beginning of this year she had a new stepmother, who soon became pregnant with her own child and did not discipline them much in private. This is naturally her.

"What about the black kids?" Sister Ci'er has a dark complexion, but she doesn't like people to say that she is black, Xiao Yezi also heard it, and subconsciously clenched her fist.

After all, it was a child walking sideways in Hangzhou Mansion, and Sister Ci was very angry and wanted to pull out the small whip wrapped around her waist and whip it over. But Xiao Yezi held down his hand, and Sister Ci shook off his hand angrily, but she didn't move again.

"It's not fun here...... Sister Ci and Luo nodded and bit their ears in a low voice: "Let's go out and play." ”

This palace is indeed very beautiful, Luo Diandian's eyes were bright, although he was very scared, but he still hesitated to follow her out of the side door quietly.

"Miss, don't run around!" Xiao Yezi followed behind them, reminding worriedly.

Sister Ci'er really doesn't know where to run, although Luo Diandian has been to the palace two or three times, but every time she is taken by someone to kowtow to the one or two masters in the palace in a hurry, where is the opportunity to take a second look.

In the end, it was Xiao Yezi who took the two of them and walked into an old palace.

Although this palace is old, you can see the delicacy and prosperity of the past through the weeds, and there is no one here.

The swing was set up on the trunk of a large acacia tree, and as Sister Ci swayed on it, the small fan-like acacia flowers on the tree fell one after another, floating on Sister Ci'er's face and hair, causing her to giggle.

Xiao Yezi, who had a worried face when he entered the courtyard, also raised the corners of his lips slightly at this time.
