The weather was very good on this day, the sky was clear and clear, and two horse-drawn carriages and an ox cart were parked outside the gate of the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion. The eldest lady Zhu was busy in the morning, packing up her son's clothes and utensils. The cage of the dream was already equipped a day earlier. Just waiting for everyone to set off.

"Mother, there's a lot more to it."

Liu Benyuan was sent outside the door by his wife Linlang, and saw that his mother Zhang Luo counted the number of people and left nothing.

"No more, no more, you can't lose the face of the Hou Mansion. There are also two boxes of your fourth sister's here, and you helped her settle in when you arrived at the palace. ”

"Yes, I know."

"Get in the car, your sister will be out soon."

"Okay, mother, you and Linlang should go back too, we will be back in three days."

"Well, my husband had a safe journey."

This is the first time that Zuo Linlang has been separated from her husband for so long, and she is a little reluctant, and she is inevitably a little depressed.

"I'm crying, it's not going to the battlefield. Okay, you go back. ”

Zhu was upset when he saw his daughter-in-law with tears in her eyes, and her son went to the banquet, making it feel like he was going to die.

"Yes, my daughter-in-law went back to the room first."

Liu Benyuan couldn't bear it when he saw Linlang leaving, so he said to his mother.

"Mother, you have to go to Yu James's Mansion to walk around these days, Rutong's marriage is imminent, don't have any trouble."

"Well, Mother Knows"

Zhu knew that his son was distracting himself, and he was afraid that his daughter-in-law would be wronged. crawled out of his stomach, and his mind was not clear.

"The four girls are here, let's sit in the carriage behind."

"Aunt Ann, I've kept you waiting."

"It's okay, I just arranged it, let's take the car behind Brother Yuan, tell Brother Yuan about something, I have already ordered it to go down."

"Aunt Xie, you have worked hard."

"Alright, it's still cold, let's get on the road early."

Since ancient times, men and women have different seats at the age of seven, and Rumeng and the eldest brother naturally have to be separated. It was Yan Bo who drove the car for Rumeng.

"Fourth Miss Ann."

"Well, Uncle Yan, let's talk on the way."

The three cars of the Pingyang Hou Mansion were escorted by six nursing homes and set off. Go to the palace to walk a section of the official road and a section of the mountain road, the palace is built in the mountain col, surrounded by mountains on three sides, one side faces the water, when the Song family did not ascend the throne, the ancestor took a fancy to this feng shui treasure, built a house here, and later when the grandfather of today's family expanded into the palace.

"Fourth Miss, Doulu has almost recovered, and she helps me do some chores on weekdays."

"Uncle Yan, thanks to your good care, when I return to the Hou Mansion, I will find him an errand. Tell him not to be in a hurry. ”

"Hey, I'll tell Doulu."

All the way was unharmed, and I used some glutinous cakes in the car on the way, and I arrived at the palace at night.

The heavenly family should have arrived a long time ago, and I saw the inner eunuchs and palace maids in the palace shuttling back and forth, very busy.

As soon as you enter the mountain pass, there is a magnificent palace located in the north, three stories high, red bricks and brown tiles, carved beams and painted columns. The palace is surrounded by a number of small dormitories, presumably the residence of the royal family.

At the foot of the mountains to the west and east, there are a number of small mansions, and a meandering stream runs through the three mountain ranges, flowing slowly at the foot of the mountain, and I don't know where it goes.

After entering the palace, he was settled in a mansion at the foot of the mountain on the east side by the inner supervisor of the clan house.

There were about seven or eight rooms, presumably according to the number of slaves brought by the master's family. Each main room has a bookcase, a bedroom, and a bathroom, so you can imagine the spaciousness of each room.

"Fourth sister, I have asked Zhuo Yi to unload your cage from the car, I think it will be delivered in a while, wait for me to ask the cook to make some food, rest early, tomorrow is the hunting day, I want to go to the altar in the back mountain."

"Thank you, brother, you should go and rest early after being tired all the way."

"It's okay, I still want to visit the king of Xiahe County and thank him for his invitation this time."

Did you make an appointment with the king of the county? So is he also an invitation from him? If so, I guess it's to thank her.

Liu Benyuan left Zhuo Yi, saying that it was like a dream and it was easier to have a little servant to call. Ping'er packed up the cage sent by Zhuo Yi, remade the bed, and took out the bathing utensils. Everything was ready to stop, but the figure of Rumeng disappeared, and he called a few new jades, but no one responded.

Xinyu went out with the fourth lady, saying that she was walking around. Xu is leg sitting in the carriage is sore. ”

At this time, Granny Yan entered the bedroom with some food. Ping'er hurriedly stepped forward to take the eating utensils.

"Granny Yan, don't be busy, just leave these tasks to us, your old man go and rest."

"Miss Ping'er, how can there be a reason for someone not to serve the master and go to rest alone, it doesn't matter, don't look at me as old as you are, I'm used to doing these jobs on weekdays. Let's put these foods in the fourth lady's room, toss for a day, and wake up hungry at night. ”

"Yes, it's still Granny Yan who is thoughtful. I'll have some tea before I go to bed at night. ”

"The stove is set up in the small kitchen, let's go and have a bite first, and the fourth lady and the eldest son will come back in a while to take care of it."

Since Granny Yan was sent by the old lady, she should take care of the two masters.

"Miss, look, it seems to be the car from General Bai's mansion."

Xinyu pointed to the carriageway in front of a mansion.

"Let's go around and take a look, don't disturb the nobles."

Xinyu was also afraid that he would admit his mistake, afraid of colliding with the nobleman, so he immediately nodded obediently and walked away like a dream.

"General Qin?"

Rumeng recognized the man who commanded his subordinates at the door as Qin Dongyue, Bai Ling'er's fiancé.

"It's Miss Four, it's polite."

"General Qin is polite, I don't know if Sister Ling'er is here?"

"Here, in the study, you go look for her."

"General Xie Qin."

"Fourth Miss is polite, Ling'er was still talking to you just now."

Rumeng was led into the house by the Bai family's subordinates and saw Bai Ling'er in the study.

"Meng'er, I saw your eldest brother just now, and I don't know if you came."

"Yes, I didn't expect Sister Ling'er to come too, now I have company."

"Our Baifu was personally invited by the emperor this time, how can you not come, but your Hou Mansion, how can you have the opportunity to come?"

"My sister hasn't learned yet, according to the eldest brother, he was invited by the king of the county."

"Zishi? In the past, he was the most reluctant to make friends with the eunuchs, how did he fall in love with your eldest brother? ”

Rumeng shook her head, expressing puzzlement.

"Forget it, it's rare for us to meet, ignore the side. Are you going to hunt tomorrow? ”

"Ladies can also go?"

"Of course, the people invited to the banquet have the honor of the heavenly family, regardless of whether men are superior or inferior, and my sister can be more wanton."

"I don't know, I'm not very prepared."

"My sister can ride a horse? What about archery? ”

"I can ride a horse, and archery used to play with my brother and sister when I was a child."

"It's okay, come with me tomorrow, and I can take care of you."

"This ......"

"Oh, what else is this, let's do it, have you brought all the clothes for the reward?"

"Bring it, in my house."

"You and I should be at the same level, but there is a blue jacket and dark pants?"

"Exactly."

"At this banquet, the clothes of the emperor and queen are bright yellow, the crown prince and princesses are light yellow, and the other royal relatives are purple. The important ministers and generals in the court are red, and the rest is indigo for courtiers like you and me. ”

"Doesn't it mean that there is no distinction between men and women?"

"Silly sister, there is no distinction between men and women, but I didn't say that there is no rank. How can you mess up the rules. ”

"Are there any other rules for this feast?"

"No, as long as you don't anger the Heavenly Family, no one will stop you from doing anything."

"This is a fairy-like feast, if you can continue like this, you must be able to live more freely."

"Naturally, it is said that at the banquet five years ago, a small secretary of the Ministry of Rites was the eldest princess."

"Ah, the Heavenly Family agreed?"

"This is the difference between the banquet, as long as it does not endanger the land and the throne, the emperor will respond to everything."

After hearing this, Rumeng was secretly surprised, and he didn't know who invited him this time, but he had ulterior motives.

chatted with Bai Ling'er for a while, and went back to his room like a dream. I used some soup cakes for dinner, wrote a few words and rested.

Xu is the reason for changing the bed, I can't sleep, and I can't keep thinking about things in my head. From tomorrow's hunt to reminiscing about the visitors she saw today, she couldn't figure out who had invited her.

Before I knew it, I opened my eyes again and it was already dawn, and Ping'er was ironing her jacket with a golden bucket.

"Miss, are you awake? Just enough to wear the jacket. ”

"Well, bring it."

At this time, Granny Yan also stepped into the bedroom and nodded to Rumeng.

"Fourth Miss, the old man will change your clothes and comb your hair."

"There's Granny Laoyan."

Granny Yan put on a jacket for Rumeng and tidied up the folds around her waist. With jackets and pants, it looks much more sassy.

"Fourth Miss, you are going to ride a horse today, and the old man will comb a snail bun for you, with that pair of beaded hairpins."

Here, Granny Yan has just taken care of her dream-like bun, and the eldest brother Liu Benyuan has come to look for her.

"Fourth Miss, the eldest prince said that he would pick you up and take you to the altar in a quarter of an hour."

Zhuo retreated as soon as he finished the ceremony, Rumeng simply had some breakfast, straightened his clothes, and went out with Granny Yan.

Granny Yan is a grandmother's person, and grandmother asked her to accompany Rumeng to the banquet this time, so she can't be left out in the cold, in order to show respect, the first day of hunting, Rumeng took Granny Yan with her.

The eldest brother has already prepared two bamboo seats, and he still has to walk a long way to the back mountain.

"Fourth sister, let's get on the sedan chair. There are some bumps in the road, you are careful about these. ”

Rumeng glanced at Bai Ling'er's residence, but didn't see a sedan chair in front of the door, did he leave earlier.

"Brother Anxin, sister just hold on."

Liu Benyuan nodded appreciatively, this fourth sister has been well-behaved since she was a child, and she is quite easy to take care of, unlike Tong'er, which is worrying.

Staggered all the way, almost vomited breakfast, and finally stopped the sedan chair after holding on for a while.

"Sister Meng'er, you're here."

Before he got out of the sedan chair, he heard Bai Ling'er's voice.

"Sister Ling'er."

"Let's go, sit next to me, I've left you a place."

"Wait a minute, I'll talk to my eldest brother."

If you get off the sedan chair in a dream, you see that you are in a big open space at this time, and the stands built around the open space are transparent on three sides, and the vision is excellent.

The stands at the highest point in the middle have been curtained with yellow curtains at this time, and it must have been the arrival of the heavenly home.

"Brother, I'm going over there to sit with the Bai family, I don't know if it's convenient?"

"Fourth sister, go, it's okay, if you have something, you ask Zhuo Yi to come to me."

"Thank you, brother."

Zhuo Yi followed Rumeng into the stands on the east side, and the opening drum beat on the field.
