Chapter 13: Reunion after a long absence
Mama Fang's words made Empress Dowager Zhong nod with a smile, and then remembered something, and ordered: "You go and tell Lao Wan to find a way to train two female secret guards, Zhu Zhu'er doesn't need eunuchs, and there must always be someone around to protect her." Xiao Jiu, if it hits Zhu Zhu'er in the face, won't he feel sorry for the mourning family? ”
These words made Mama Fang laugh secretly, and the Queen Mother still protected her shortcomings as always.
Although the Nine Emperor Princes did not hit the county lord this time, the Queen Mother was still unhappy. It's a pity that Xiaoman and Xiaoyuan, who were carefully trained by Gonggong Wan, refused because they didn't like to use eunuchs.
Gu Fanghua and his entourage came to Kunning Palace and unexpectedly found that Yan Qihuo had not left the palace yet.
"I've seen the Queen Mother."
"I've seen the Queen's Aunt."
Empress Jiang smiled lovingly and said busily: "Come up, Xiao Jiu has been waiting for you, you go out to play together, remember to take care of each other." ”
Gu Fanghua looked at Yan Qihuo's disdainful expression, covered her mouth and smiled: "Aunt Queen, I'm afraid the ninth cousin doesn't want to go all the way with us." Miss Jiang and the others are also going, and it is better to satisfy the ninth cousin when the time comes. ”
Yan Qihuo had been tossing and turning last night, just thinking about how to treat Jiang Yaxuan in the future.
Now that Gu Fanghua was exposed at once, he was annoyed and said angrily: "I just like to be with Cousin Xuan, can't I?" Who is rare to be with you Gu Mingzhu! ”
"I don't want to be with you yet?"
Queen Jiang looked at the two of them with big eyes and small eyes with a little headache, and waved her hand: "Okay, whatever you play, come back early, don't eat your stomach." ”
Everyone agreed in unison, and then they quit the palace.
To leave the palace, everyone brought enough manpower, the princes were all one chamberlain, eight guards, and Gu Fanghua brought four maids and four guards.
The group walked to the Shenwu Gate, and Xiao Yuan rushed over with the carriage that had been prepared for Gu Fanghua a long time ago, and diligently moved the ladder stool.
"Be careful."
Gu Fanghua stepped on the ladder stool and got into the carriage steadily, and Yan Rongling and Yan Shaoxun also got on the horse to protect the carriage. The rest of the guards were all on horseback, and everyone spread out to protect the carriage in front of and on the left and right.
Yan Qihuo looked at the fifth brother and the sixth brother holding the moon, snorted coldly, and took his guards to take the lead.
Gu Fanghua didn't bother to care about him, and was lying on the small table in the carriage, seriously recalling everything that happened in the previous life. Except for the later conflict in Zuiyue Tower, it seems that there was something trivial in Weihe before.
The carriage went to the Wei River unhappily, and from time to time on the road I met other carriages and people of the noble family, all of whom were people who could catch up with their relatives around and around, and the team slowly grew. By the time they arrived at Weihe, there were already two or three hundred people.
Every year during the Flower Dynasty Festival, a two-storey flower platform will be built on the edge of the Wei River with various flowers, and there are various patterns made of flowers.
Ladies can tie their own riddles or problems with all kinds of sachets, sachets, fan pendants, etc., and hang them on the flower stand. In the afternoon, those young masters can choose their favorite objects, as long as they can guess the riddle, they can take them away.
At that time, the ladies are all near the flower platform, and you can watch the choices and performances of the young masters.
If you have the right eye, you can also go home and tell your parents, and after inquiring about your family history, you can become a couple every year. The people of the Great Zhou Dynasty are open, and they are more supportive of this alternative large-scale appearance, and the people who preside over the Flower Dynasty Festival are all respected Mrs. Quanfu, who is said to be the princess of Runan County this year.
Gu Fanghua held a string of colorful zongzi the size of a fingernail made of danzhu in his hand and got out of the carriage.
As soon as he stepped on the ground, a cheerful voice greeted: "Mingzhu!" Over here! Over here! ”
Gu Fanghua showed a bright smile, and also waved her hand and shouted, "Jiaojiao, I'm here!" ”
After shouting, he rushed straight over and hugged Zhong Taojiao. Zhong Zibin, who was standing next to him with his hands in his hands, rolled his eyes and said impatiently: "Won't you see you for a few days?" What do you look like when you meet again after a long absence? ”
Speaking of which, in the previous life, since the death of the Queen Mother's grandmother and the marriage into the Five Princes' Mansion, I never saw Zhong Taojiao again until I died, but it was not a reunion after a long absence.
It was rare for Gu Fanghua not to quarrel with Zhong Zibin, but said sweetly: "Cousin Zibin, congratulations on entering the camp in Gyeonggi." ”
Zhong Zibin took a step back vigilantly, could it be that Gu Fanghua thought of any new tricks to rectify people? Will it be so sweet and lovely? Thinking of Gu Fanghua's past convictions, he shuddered.
Gu Fanghua looked at Zhong Zibin's avoidance like a snake and scorpion, and said with a smile: "Cousin Zibin, what are you doing like a ghost?" I didn't frame you for molesting a folk girl today, I didn't arrange for you to break your sleeves, and I didn't throw spiders at you. ”
"You're embarrassed to say that good men don't fight with women, if you were a kid, you would have beaten you all over the ground to find teeth."
Zhong Zibin said with great momentum, but he still turned to the side. Gu Fanghua glanced at him with disdain, and he felt more down-to-earth.
Gu Fanghua didn't bother to pay attention to him, and turned to Gu Shinian, who was looking at her with a smile next to her, and said, "Second brother, are you here too?" What about the big brother? ”
"The eldest brother is at home with the sister-in-law, and the sister-in-law is happy."
Gu Shinian was a standard literati, his black hair was neatly tied up, fixed with a jasper hairpin, and his appearance was picturesque, plump and handsome. is different from Gu Shiqing, the son of Guanwen Hou, who is sleek and thoughtful, and he is quite arrogant and noble.
Gu Shiqing's wife is Zhong Taoxian, the eldest daughter of the Zhong family.
As soon as Gu Fanghua heard that her sister-in-law was happy, she was also very happy, and said with a smile: "Ming'er, I'll come back to see my sister-in-law, you have to tell my aunt that my favorite wine goose paw is indispensable." ”
Before Gu Shinian could speak, Zhong Zibin leaned over and sneered: "Gu Mingzhu, do you want to eat goose paws or go to see your sister?" ”
Zhong Taojiao came over to hold Gu Fanghua's hand and said loudly: "Big brother, can't Mingzhu be together?" Catch up with Ming'er and Mingzhu to see my sister, and in a few months, I will also be my aunt. ”
"Yes, I'm going to be an aunt too!"
The two girls got together and chattered non-stop, and the power was comparable to a thousand ducks. Gu Shinian and Zhong Zibin moved to the side without a trace, and greeted Yan Rongling and Yan Shaoxun, who came over after greetings.
Next to the flower stand in the morning, they all belonged to the girls, and after greeting each other, Gu Fanghua and Zhong Taojiao went to the flower platform together.
"Mingzhu, this is not what you did, right?"
Zhong Taojiao knew Gu Fanghua's needlework well, and when she saw such a delicate and small colorful zongzi, she knew that it was not Gu Fanghua's handiwork.
Gu Fanghua covered her mouth and whispered, "You know, don't shout!" God knows, you know and I know. ”
As she spoke, Gu Fanghua glanced at the magnolia fan pendant on Zhong Taojiao's wrist and whispered, "This is Ah Xing's craftsmanship, right?" It's pretty good, let's let Ming'er make a few caterpillars, we're scary. ”
"Good! All right! Do you want to be a spider again, let's quietly put it in the big brother's quilt? ”
