Volume 4 Flying in the Blue Sky Chapter 68 The Xu Family
Dai Shi took advantage of the lively feast to approach Mu Biwei, and covered his mouth with a fan and motioned Mu Biwei to look in one direction: "Niangniang, look at that girl!" ”
Mu Bi took the time to glance at it in her busy schedule, but it was a girl wearing a primrose-colored cross-collared summer shirt, embroidered with rose flowers and leaves, combing a flying fairy bun, inserting a delicate flower hairpin, and wearing a green ring to hold a brocade silk, although it was still slightly raised in the Heyi Palace, revealing a sense of arrogance - she just turned her head and saw her eyebrows clearly, she was a beautiful girl, not the most beautiful, but elegant and elegant.
"Who's that?" Mu Biwei had actually noticed that she was Mrs. Rongchang County not far away, but she still confirmed it.
Sure enough, Dai Shi smiled: "Who else can there be besides that Gao Shi Niang?" Before, she caused such trouble and was grounded all the time, but now I think it is taking advantage of the birthday of the two princesses, the queen mother is happy, isn't this going into the palace to ask for guilt? ”
Mu Bi smiled faintly and said, "Please?" This palace looks at her as if she has come to ask for sin! ”
Dai's was originally just a good thing to point to Gao Shiniang, but he would listen to Mu Biwei's meaning but didn't wait to see this Gao's family, he was surprised in his heart, and quickly thought that Mu Biwei and this Gao Shiniang should not have any grudges...... Jiao, who had been listening quietly next to him, said: "The noble lady of the high family, it is inevitable that she is a little arrogant - speaking of which, it is very lively today, even Princess Anping is here, and the concubine has been in the palace for several years, and the number of times she has seen this princess can be counted on one hand, it is rare that she is not sick today." ”
When she said this, everyone looked at Princess Anping again, but saw her sitting on the table and drinking alone, she is now in her early thirties, still like a new snow moth eyebrows and apricot eyes, wearing an amber placket wide-sleeved summer shirt, and a tooth-colored Luo skirt inside, although the summer shirt is embroidered with some pomegranate branches for the occasion, but this outfit is really dull and tight in today's full of purple and red.
And Princess Anping's hairpin ring is also very simple, and the maid clothes she brought into the palace behind her are mostly dark and plain, and she doesn't dare to dress up.
"This Princess Anping is wearing too plain clothes today." When Dai saw it, he couldn't help muttering a few words again, "It is said that it is summer, and amber is not appropriate, and she is also wearing it to congratulate our princess on her birthday......" Seeing that Mu Biwei didn't say anything here, the conversation changed and said, "It's a loss for the mother's generosity." ”
"This palace looks at Princess Anping, although she was taken back to the palace by King Anping, she doesn't seem to be very happy?" Mu Biwei observed Gao Fu for a moment, but saw that she didn't care about the excitement around her at all, only cared about herself drinking, and even Princess Guangling approached her several times to talk to her and was lukewarmly blocked back by her.
Princess Anping showed impatience when she saw Gao Shiniang coming, Gao Shiniang said a few words aggrievedly, as if it was for the sake of Mrs. Rongchang County, Princess Anping allowed her to sit down, but she ignored her whispering, and still only cared about drinking by herself.
Mu Biwei called Su Si and instructed: "You go to find Yutong, and tell her not to just greet the county lord of Aiyang, it is also boring for the prince of Anping to sit there alone and watch." ”
Susi smiled and responded.
After a while, I saw Princess Xiping running to Ji Hao with her skirt and saying a few words to him with a smile, Ji Hao looked at Princess Anping, Princess Anping nodded, and he got up and walked with Xiping.
Although she saw Princess Xiping, Princess Anping didn't mean to greet Mu Biwei at all, but Gao Shiniang turned her head to look at Mu Biwei.
Mu Biwei glanced at her, both of them looked flat, their eyes were touched, and they turned away.
Dai Shi held the fan and said softly: "Gao Jieyu is actually staring at Gao Shiniang with good eyes!" Don't fight between two people! ”
Gao Jieyu and Gao Shiyi Niang's disharmony, Dai's and Jiao's combined knowledge is not as good as Mu Biwei's, Mu Bi smiled and said: "In the Yi Palace, besides, whether it is Gao Jieyu or Gao Shiyi Niang, they are everyone's daughters, and this dignity will still be taken care of." ”
Let's talk about jokes here, because today's serious palace concubines can also attend, many people are still the first time to enter Ganquan Palace, it will be extra lively, Mu Biwei didn't have long to idle, I heard that Shen Taijun drank two more glasses of wine, a little dizzy, busy personally went over to help Shen Taijun, and saw that Xiao He was not at the table, and asked, knowing that it was He who led her to the warm pavilion to sober up and breathe a sigh of relief.
Mu Biwei still remembered that when she followed the Xu family to the Xu family, she could see it every time, and she and the rest of the Xu family couldn't talk about grudges, but the two sides didn't vote for each other.
Although Shen Taijun was dizzy after drinking two cups too much because of his age, he was still a little sober, and at this moment, he coughed lightly with Mu Biwei's support, and said, "The ladies are not outsiders, if you drink too much, why don't you wake up together?" ”
The wife of the Xu family nodded hurriedly, so they went out of the palace together, and when they arrived at the house that was cleaned up for sobering up today, Mu Biwei personally served Shen Taijun and drank a hangover soup, Shen Taijun smiled and pushed the candied fruit she handed to her lips, and said, "It's much better." ”
"Gui Ji Niangniang is really filial...... "The wives of the Xu family praised them repeatedly.
Mu Biwei put the candied fruit back into the plate, wiped her fingertips with the handkerchief held by Ah Shan, and said with a light smile: "This palace is in the palace, and there are few opportunities to serve grandmother, where can it be called filial piety?" ”
"The concubine is very skilled in watching Niangniang take care of Shen Taijun's posture of drinking soup, it can be seen that she has been serving her elders with her own hands in the past, and it is even more rare that Niangniang has been in the palace for many years, and she still has a high position, and she still does not forget, such pure filial piety, but Niangniang still has to be humble, she is really a role model for women." One of the women said softly, "When I go back today, the concubine will definitely tell the little girl!" ”
Because she suddenly mentioned her daughter, Mu Bi glanced at her slightly, and asked: "I also went to the Xu family to disturb the palace back then, and the few daughters under the lady's knees still vaguely remember the palace, I don't know which girl it is?" ”
The woman showed her honor and said with a smile: "Niangniang really has a good memory - it's Baniang!" ”
"Xu Chunfang?" Mu Bi said casually, "Bengong remembers that she seems to be born well." ”
"It's just that you can see people, where can you compare with Niangniang!" Unable to hear her attitude, the woman hurriedly whispered.
Mu Bi rubbed the corners of her forehead slightly, and said lightly: "But she is like her younger brother in the palace, and in the past, it seems that she often played with Bicheng, right?" As he spoke, he asked Shen Taijun, "Grandmother, am I mistaken?" ”
Shen Taijun was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "How could you be mistaken?" Didn't the two of them love to play together since they were young? Later, when they got older, they separated. ”
Several wives of the Xu family glanced at each other, and their hearts were relieved, since Xu Nai was affected by the matter of King Anping's invitation to make the concubine the county lord, and was dismissed from the post of secretary of the Ministry of Rites, the Xu family has been declining more and more in recent years, but the Mu family, which is not prosperous, has gradually shown a state of joy, and Mu Bicheng is not bad in terms of appearance and temperament, and was brought to the front by Mu Biwei, the Xu family is naturally happy to marry the Mu family again, but the Xu family has a grudge against Mu Biwei......
Although the prosperity of the Mu family does not depend entirely on Mu Biwei, but the Mu family is small, their own daughters and the daughters of other people, whether Shen Taijun or Mu Qi, of course, feel more sorry for their daughter, Xu because of the previous calculation of Mu Biwei provoked Shen Taijun and Mu Qi's dislike, after Xiao He entered the door, she began to lose power, although Mu Bicheng was born to her, but the place where she can call the shots in marriage is not big, if Mu Biwei does not want to have a younger brother of the Xu family, Shen Taijun has euphemistically explained to the Xu family before entering the palace today, if Mu Biwei opposes, Don't mention this marriage...... There is no shortage of brides who are good at home and generous and decent in the pastor family.
But now it seems that Mu Biwei is not against it......
After this matter was over, Shen Taijun also felt much better, for fear that Mu Biwei's current position was extraordinary, and today's birthday was for the two princesses raised under her knees, and it was not good to be away for a long time, so she asked her to continue to go back to the banquet and discuss some details with the Xu family again.
Mu Biwei saw that she was in good spirits, so she left Su Ge to serve and take care of her, and took the others back to the Heyi Palace.
Entering the hall, seeing that the Empress Dowager Gao had already withdrawn, Ji Shen seemed to have gone to change her clothes, and several people below Princess Anping and Gao Shiniang were no longer there, only You'e Ying was drinking rose dew slowly, and laughing with Mrs. Wuyingjun across the table, and when she saw Mu Biwei coming in, she beckoned, Mu Bi stepped forward with a smile, only to hear You'e Ying say: "Are you looking for Yutong and Yingluo?" They had just pestered Lang Lang to fly a kite and ran to the open area. ”
"I didn't see the strange road around." Ji Wei is already old, and he is about to marry a wife, with him, and the Deng family and the others will follow, nothing will happen in Ganquan Palace, Mu Biwei is not very worried, and thanked You Eying with a smile.
You Eying only said such a thing, and talked to Mrs. Wuyingjun again, Mu Biwei went back to her seat, and after a while, Yun Zhanyue came over to toast, Mu Biwei drank it, and asked her casually: "Has Yun Mengru also entered the palace today?" ”
"Cousin, she is heavy now, so she took leave." Yun Zhanyue replied respectfully.
Mu Biwei calculated, Yun Mengru's days are still sometime, so she said: "When she gives birth to a congratulatory gift, it will be counted as a part of the palace." ”
"That concubine is going to be my cousin Xie Niangniang." Although Yun Zhanyue and Yun Mengru are not as familiar as Mu Biwei and Yun Mengru, Yun Mengru borrowed her name from the pavilion, so on the surface, she and Yun Mengru are closer to each other, so she said.
Yun Zhanyue led the way, and then the concubines came to congratulate her one after another, Mu Biwei had to be perfunctory on behalf of the two adopted daughters, when it was lively, a group of people hurriedly came in at the door of the hall, Princess Xiping and Princess Xintai were surrounded in the front, and the two princesses did not greet others, they ran over with strange expressions, and pulled Mu Biwei's sleeve left and right and called the mother concubine in unison.
Mu Bi glanced at them soothingly, and when she saw that they looked like they wanted to say but didn't know how to speak, she guessed and asked, "Do you want to eat or do something?" ”
The two shook their heads together, and Xiping was about to reach out to put his arm around Mu Biwei's neck, leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Cousin Yu asked the ministers to come over and invite the imperial grandmother." ”
"What's going on?" Mu Biwei couldn't help but be stunned and asked.
Xiping was embarrassed and said: "Erchen doesn't know, before, a kite string put by cousin Yu tripped on a tree, and my cousin climbed up to solve it, and suddenly jumped down to solve it, as if it had fallen, Cousin Aiyang wanted to call the doctor, but cousin Yue didn't agree, only said that it didn't matter, and then Cousin Yue wanted to untie the kite, but the cousin suddenly got angry and tore the line off......"
Xintai continued in a low voice beside him: "Cousin Aiyang was afraid that the two cousins would argue, so he persuaded everyone not to fly kites and fold flowers instead, but Cousin Yue said that he didn't like flowers, but he wanted to go to the pond to see the fish, and Cousin Yue was pushed by him in the middle. ”
Mu Bi thought for a moment, touched their heads and said, "Your imperial grandmother is just out of luck and will go back inside first." He raised his voice slightly, "Since you want to see your eldest brother and second brother, this will be done, you have to be lighter, and no one will bring it in, so as not to disturb your brother, you know?" ”
The two princesses understood, agreed in unison, and entered the apse arm in arm.
