Chapter 266: Thousand Autumn Banquet 3
Qu Xiaoxiang was stunned, even she didn't understand, why did she blurt out. It was probably the "cream cream" on Chinese New Year's Eve, I asked the doctor to see the ointment, it was indeed a good thing, only a few days, the tooth marks on her hands had almost faded, leaving no traces. Today, Lin Ruo "happened" to help Mrs. Xuanlu relieve her leg disease, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem like such a coincidence.
It was Mrs. Xuanlu who explained that it was the maid who was anxious and mistook Lin Ruo for her sake, so Qu Xiaoxiang relieved herself and confirmed that it was not Lin Ruo who deliberately wooed or showed favor to the Qu family, so she thanked her: "So, thank you Princess Rong." β
Lin Ruo waved his hand and pushed away: "It's okay." However, when the soft sedan car comes, the county lord should accompany his wife to the hospital. By the way, the winter in Bian'an is damp and cold, which is easy to induce leg diseases. Mrs. can ask people to put dried ginger pieces into the clean sand and stir-fry until foamy, slice and apply, can remove dampness and paralysis, and relieve pain. β
Mrs. Xuanlu smiled and thanked her, her face was very friendly.
After explaining, Lin Ruo got up and saluted, and took people to Zhaoming Hall to meet the Queen Mother.
Qu Xiaoxiang looked at Lin Ruo's back, pursed her mouth, and didn't say anything, but she was inexplicably unhappy and owed her a favor.
Mrs. Xuanlu's status is noble, the emperor's personal decree, and the niece of the empress dowager of the dynasty, the daughter of the Duke of Dian Guo, and the sister of Zhennanhou. No matter who meets, they will come forward to set almost, and the parents will talk for a while.
Moreover, the ladies all know that Mrs. Xuanlu will accompany the county lord of Fengyang to live for a long time when she enters Beijing this time, and then make plans after the marriage of the county lord of Fengyang is decided.
The marriage of the lord of Fengyang!
What does it mean to be able to marry the lord of Fengyang?
Everyone knows it.
Therefore, whenever there is a suitable gentleman in the family, he will openly and secretly praise Mrs. Xuanlu; If you don't have one at home, look for it from a relative's house; If you still don't, then talk about other connections.
In a word, whether there are conditions or not, you must maintain a good relationship with the Qu family.
Like Lin Ruo, he is not deliberately close, nor deliberately alienated, and it is really rare to advance and retreat in a certain way.
This is probably what the Queen Mother said, Lin Ruo's precious "sincerity".
Just like the birthday gift to the Queen Mother, everyone thinks that the more precious and rare things are, the more decent they can show their dignity. Of course, there are a few people who pay attention to their hearts, but no matter how much they have hearts, they can't be too shabby, right?
Therefore, this gift-giving thing always makes people feel like a big head.
But with Lin Ruo, all this seems to be solved.
Therefore, the congratulatory gifts offered by Lin Ruo did not return to make everyone look forward to it.
"Minhui greets the imperial grandmother."
"Aruo is here!" The Empress Dowager smiled lovingly, "Why is it so late?" But what's the delay? β
"On the way, I met Mrs. Xuanlu's leg disease."
"Ah Zhao's leg is sick?"
"Grandmother Huang, don't worry, the county lord of Fengyang has already accompanied his wife to the Tai Hospital. I also took a cursory look and it didn't matter. β
The Queen Mother nodded: "That's good, that's good." No wonder Xiaoxiang went out in a hurry just now. It's a shame that Ah Zhao ran into you first. β
Mrs. Xuanlu's leg disease was attacked, and she couldn't walk at all. The Queen Mother is aware of this.
Since I can go to the hospital, it means that there is really no big problem.
Although Lin Ruo had a cursory look at the situation, the Queen Mother was still relieved about how much level this girl had.
Hearing that Mrs. Xuanlu was fine, the highlight of everyone's attention was placed on the birthday gift prepared by Lin Ruo. Everyone knows that the birthday gifts prepared by Princess Rong are heartfelt and valuable every time. This time, seeing that her maid was only holding a long box, she was even more curious about what kind of shocking birthday gift was dressed in it.
Lin Ruo didn't sell it, so he asked the long box to open, respectfully took out a white plain silk, and then carefully unfolded it.
It is a picture of Guanyin with a thousand hands, and on the left side of the Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara, who is compassionate and compassionate, is the entire Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra.
That's it?
The ladies in the Zhaoming Hall were a little lost.
This doesn't seem to have much new meaning, does it?
The Queen Mother believes in Buddhism, but this picture of Guanyin with a thousand hands is too ordinary, and it does not look like it came from the hand of that famous master.
Could it be, what's the mystery in this?
The lady who approached was bold enough to look at the silk on that side, and suddenly found that it did not seem to be a painting, but an embroideryβa double-sided embroidery.
However, how many precious embroideries have already been seen in the palace? Such a double-sided embroidery doesn't seem to be a treasure, right?
Everyone couldn't find the clue, but just set their eyes on Lin Ruo beside the Queen Mother.
"Imperial grandmother, this is Jinling's hair embroidery. The portrait of Guanyin Bodhisattva is from the hand of the Miaoyu Master of Cijing'an; As for this Heart Sutra, it was embroidered by the embroiderer according to the handwriting I copied. β
The Queen Mother smiled: "No wonder, I look at this handwriting, it looks a little familiar." However, Miaoyu has been in retreat for many years, so how did you get her to paint? β
"The words of the emperor's grandmother were painted by Master Miaoyu before the retreat and were offered in the Cijing Nunnery. After begging for a long time, the master in the nunnery was willing to borrow it. β
I see.
The mystery of this is here!
Not only that, but the importance that the ancients attached to hair was difficult for later generations to understand. The body is skinned, and the parents who receive it do not dare to destroy it easily. Therefore, taking hair as a gift is the highest respect for the recipient. For example, newlyweds entangle their hair together to show that they will "tie the knot forever and never abandon it"; For example, Buddhists should shave their ordination when they take refuge in Buddhism, which is not only to "get rid of the dust", but also to express their devotion to Bodhi and their firmness to help the world.
With hair as the thread, the embroidered embroidery will never retreat, and it is also an expression of the blessing to the Queen Mother.
This heart, the ladies present felt ashamed.
Just now, everyone was still amazed at the crystal glass statue given to the Queen Mother by the lord of Xiaoxiang, but now, they were all amazed by the embroidered Guanyin picture given by Lin Ruo.
Princess Rong deserves to be Princess Rong, and this shot is immediate.
The Empress Dowager smiled lovingly and asked Lu Yun to accept it and hang it in the Buddhist hall.
By the time the Qianqiu Banquet began, the gift given by Lin Ruo had already spread. After Emperor Mingzong learned about it, he was also a dragon face and a great joy, and he rewarded a lot of things, which made people envious.
Qu Xiaoxiang's eyes looked at Lin Ruo lightly for a long time, until Lin Ruo realized it, turned to her, and raised the wine bottle from afar, Qu Xiaoxiang didn't push back, and drank it all.
When the Qianqiu banquet was over, Lin Ruo accompanied the Queen Mother back to Zhaoming Palace, accompanied by Emperor Mingzong, several princes who had not yet married, and princesses who had not yet married, of course, Qu Xiaoxiang was also among them.
When people get older, the more they crave family pleasures.
Of course, a few uneasy ones, Emperor Mingzong naturally would not let them appear and spoil the mood of the empress dowager, such as King Ye and the crown prince, who had always looked at each other and hated each other.
