Chapter 46: The Mid-Autumn Festival
On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Shang Mansion reveals a strong festive atmosphere everywhere, and the people are rewarded in the morning, and they can reunite with their families in the evening. This made the subordinates of the Shang Mansion respect the housewife even more, and they worked harder to do things.
In the morning, the Qin family brought Shang Liyuan and Shang Kang to Lily Garden.
As soon as Shang Kang saw Shang Liyuan, his eyes were bright, holding a small piece of pastry in his hand, saliva was still hanging on the corner of his mouth, and he shouted vaguely, "Sister, sister eat." ”
Shang Liyuan approached and smiled at Qin, took out a brocade handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped the saliva and pastry crumbs from the corners of Shang Kang's mouth.
Shang Kang didn't know why, thinking that his sister was playing with him, he giggled. It made the Qin family and Shang Liyuan cry and laugh.
"Mother called her daughter here today, but she has something to order?" Shang Liyuan took back the Jinpa and handed it to Aru behind him, Aru put away the Jinpa, and then stood behind Shang Liyuan in a regular manner.
"Well, there is a Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the palace tonight, and you have already arrived this year, so you have to participate in such a banquet." As she spoke, the worry in her eyes warmed Shang Liyuan's heart.
"It is rumored in the palace that the emperor will choose a concubine at the Mid-Autumn Festival, but in fact, he will choose a concubine for the adult princes, and my mother wants to ask your wishes? The cannibalistic place in the palace, my mother doesn't want to see you involved, I just hope that you can live a happy life and find someone who treats you sincerely, even if your mother is poor. Qin looked at Shang Liyuan, took Shang Liyuan's hand, and said earnestly.
Shang Liyuan was very moved by Qin's words, Qin's rarely said so much, and he was very thoughtful.
"Mother rest assured, daughter knows what to expect."
"You're still a kid, what's in your mind." Qin thought that Shang Liyuan was just comforting her.
But in fact, Shang Liyuan did know in her heart, she was entangled with the royal family in the previous life, and so was she in this life.
However, in the last life, it was the third prince Jingmo, but in this life it is...
Shang Liyuan just smiled at Qin's words and did not refute them. In a mother's heart, children are always children.
"Mother knows that you have always had an idea, but you still have to be cautious and cautious in this lifelong event." Seeing that Shang Liyuan didn't care, the Qin family sighed.
"My daughter knows."
"That's right, your father and I only took you and Hao'er into the palace at the evening banquet, and then the men and women were not at the same table, you were the first time to enter the palace, just behind me, the etiquette in the palace or something had been specially taught before, I don't worry about this, I'm afraid that you will be nervous and make a mistake, and the palace will lose its etiquette..."
Without waiting for Qin to finish speaking, Shang Liyuan held Qin's hand with her backhand, "Mother, don't you know what kind of heart your daughter has since she was a child?" Don't worry, my daughter won't embarrass you and the Shang government. ”
When the Qin family heard Shang Liyuan's words, she began to feel distressed again, this daughter has been sensible since she was a child, and she has never let herself worry about anything, but it is still her daughter who helps her worry about fatigue.
After Qin finished talking with Shang Liyuan, he began to tease Shang Kang, who was happily playing with a piece of pastry.
Before the end of the day, the Shang Mansion was ready to start entering the palace.
According to the custom, the banquet in the palace starts on time at the end of the unitary time, and before the banquet, the female dependents need to enter the palace to greet the queen, but the queen has passed away for a long time, and the throne has been vacant to this day. The palace is now the highest position of the concubine, and in recent years, it has also summoned foreign women in the palace of the concubine.
Shang Liyuan asked Pod to pull her hair into a hanging bun, and inserted a hairpin like a snow jade hairpin diagonally, and wore a curved moon ornament. The clear and affectionate Ling Bo eyes, the cherry lips with Dan like flowers, the skin is like condensation, and the eyebrows are like ink drawings. No fat powder, but so pure, so moving. Wearing a jade white feather gauze water sleeve shirt, the sleeves have small carved gold lines, constituting the style of flying clouds, and a thin shawl is draped outside, and there is still a trace of coolness at night in the autumn season.
The Qin family also changed into the special clothes of the first lady of the order, and it was the first time that such an atmospheric and solemn Qin merchant Liyuan had seen it.
Shang Rong and Shang Sihao also changed into court clothes.
The family drove neatly in the direction of the palace in the carriage.
At today's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, Shang Liyuan asked someone to hand over a message to the eldest prince, saying that she hoped to meet before the banquet.
The eldest prince also asked people to talk back, saying that they would meet in Wangyun Pavilion.
Of course, it is impossible for the two to meet in a bright light, at this time, it is necessary to create some illusions of coincidence, and there are a lot of eyeliners in the palace, and this thing is still very easy to do.
When they arrived at the palace, Shang Rong and Shang Sihao went to the former dynasty, and the Qin family brought Shang Liyuan to the harem.
When the Qin family and Shang Liyuan arrived at Chonghua Palace, there were already many ladies and young ladies gathered in the main hall. Chen Guifei hadn't come yet, the Qin family first nodded to Mingyun's mother-in-law, Fan, and then took Shang Liyuan to sit next to Zhang Qian, Zhang Qian and Qin's positions were next to each other.
Zhang Qian naturally saw the interaction between the Qin family and the Fan family, raised her eyebrows, and couldn't help but ask, "Why did you have an intersection with that family?" ”
Qin Shi smiled, and before he could answer, Zhang Qian opened his mouth wide and said, "Could it be that you..."
The Qin family and Zhang Qian's love affair for so many years naturally knew what Zhang Qian was talking about later, and then nodded, admitting Zhang Qian's guess.
"You're really, you don't tell me about such a big thing." Zhang Qian couldn't help but blame, but she didn't look angry.
"Didn't you know for sure before? It's always hard to say. Seeing that his friend was angry, Qin explained loudly.
"Also, I said why didn't the lady from the Laiguo Mansion come today." Zhang Qian sighed after speaking, picked up the tea in his hand and took a sip, "Your son is gone, and my son is still... Ay. ”
"How can this fate be accurate? You're just too anxious. Seeing Zhang Qian, the Qin family sighed and comforted.
"Of course you're not in a hurry, your daughter-in-law has found it, I haven't found it, isn't it normal to be anxious."
Qin only smiled and did not speak.
Qin and Zhang Qian chatted happily, and Shang Liyuan and Gu Yan were not idle.
The two of you praise me, I praise you, and then eat pastries and drink fruit juice.
"It's not good to be in harmony, since the beginning of the conversation, my mother has shown me people every day, and I'm almost annoyed to death." Zhang Qian began to complain, "Sister Yuan, what do you say about these gentlemen in the capital?" I don't have much real ability, but I still look down on this and that. It's hard to find someone who really treats people. ”
"I see, it's just that my sister is too picky." Shang Liyuan looked at Gu Yan with a lot of sorrow between her eyebrows.
However, the women after the marriage generally begin to want to see others, and then accept the six stages of collection, asking for names, getting lucky, accepting signs, inviting people and welcoming them in person.
Nacai means that the man's family invites the matchmaker to go to the woman's house to propose marriage, and after the woman's family agrees to discuss the marriage, the man's family prepares a gift to go to the marriage; Asking for a name, that is, the man's family asks the matchmaker to ask the woman's name and date of birth; Najib, that is, after the man retrieves the woman's name and eight characters, he performs divination in the ancestral temple; Na Zheng, also known as Na Yuan, that is, the man's family gives the woman's family a dowry gift; During the invitation period, the man's family chooses the marriage date, prepares the gift and informs the woman's family, and asks for her consent; A day or two before the wedding, the woman gives a dowry, makes the bed, and the groom goes to the woman's house to marry the next day.
Like Shang Sihao and Mingyun after this Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, they will start to invite the official media to the man's house to propose, that is, Nacai.
