Chapter Forty-Eight: The Peony Pavilion Dream Old Friends

"Want Mama Du to take care of you?" Li Yizhe glanced at Ruoyan and asked her.

"Mama Du is a proper one, and the concubine was also brought by Mama Du when she was a child. Presumably, Mama will be very happy to see her concubine now. How can you treat your concubines badly? Ruoyan bit her lip, for fear that Li Yizhe would not agree.

"That's it," Li Yizhe rubbed her hair, "Now that you are pregnant, everything is only your happiness." ”

"The concubine is really blessed to be so favored by His Majesty. In the early years, the concubine got a white marble goddess of mercy, if the mother believed this, the concubine asked the imperial doctor to check it and send it. Meng Zhaoyi laughed, and looked at Li Yizhe again, "It's not just a concubine, Your Majesty might as well order it to go down, no matter who sends it, you have to ask the imperial doctor to check it, and you have to be careful with the things you enter." The sisters in each palace love incense, and some incense adds a little musk, but it is not very tight on weekdays, but this lady is pregnant, and she is not allowed to see it at all. Before seeing the concubine, I had to ask the doctor to check what incense she had smoked. ”

"Zhaoyi bothered, you have thought it through, and when you go back, draw up a charter and hand it over, and I will think about it with the concubine. You will suffer a little, and you will be rewarded after the concubine gives birth smoothly. Li Yizhe replied.

"Your Majesty is serious, this is a matter for the concubines. Thinking that His Majesty still had a lot to say to his mother, the concubine retired. Meng Zhaoyi stood up and saluted.

"It's time for your book to arrive. You've been tired for so many days, so it's time to rest. Li Yizhe nodded.

"The concubine retired."

After Meng Zhaoyi left, Li Yizhe was no longer restrained, and his hand was even more excited and didn't know where to put it. Still embarrassed, Ruoyan couldn't sit still and stood up and said, "Since there is nothing to do at this time, the concubine wants to go and pick up Mama Du." ”

"There are many people in that place who don't understand the rules, what if something happens." Li Yizhe was not at ease, and his intuition did not want her to pass. After all, Mama Du is in a place like the Huanyi Bureau, and he is afraid that Ruoyan will be unhappy and have a tire. finally got such a precious first child, and he couldn't help but start to worry about the future.

"With Your Majesty here, if you don't understand the rules, where can you go without knowing the rules? Left is just a kneeling thing. Ruoyan disagreed.

Li Yizhe knew very well in his heart that in the court, next to the Huanyi Bureau was the sin slave house, and there were so many people in the sin slave house that could be said to be taboo in this palace.

"Obedient, I asked Gonggong Lin to pick up Mama Du. It's just an hour's work. It's just a meal time. I think the soup Meng Zhaoyi sent you is delicious, you eat more vegetables and drink some soup, let's wait for Mama Du. Otherwise, Mama Du is still hungry when she comes, won't Mama Du feel distressed? Li Yizhe coaxed her patiently.

Ruoyan hesitated for a moment, thought about it, nodded and responded. Drink the soup in the bowl with your head down. Li Yizhe even picked up the dishes on the table and forgot about the dishes in front of Ruoyan, and ordered to add three dishes. A dish of crab roe cake with bald butter, steamed dumplings with shrimp and golden bamboo shoots, and a dish of lotus root with pork. The baked cake is salty and crispy, and the aroma of crab in it is very attractive and very strong. The fresh shrimp in the steamed dumplings with fresh shrimp and golden bamboo shoots are taken from fresh river shrimp, and the cold bamboo shoots of Bashu are soaked and diced and stir-fried with pork and shrimp and filling, and the transparent dumpling skin is a pack, not to mention how tempting. The lotus root is this summer's new lotus root, which is sandwiched with stir-fried minced pork, and the outer layer of eggs and flour is crispy, and the taste is even more unique.

If Yan eats well, Li Yizhe is also happy to look at it.

After Ruoyan had eaten, Li Yizhe kept his promise, but after drinking another cup of tea, Father-in-law Lin brought Mama Du here. Mama Du was wearing an indigo slightly washed white cotton gauze skirt, and her hair was already white.

After Mama Du came in, she was overjoyed to see Ruoyan, and knelt down in front of Ruoyan with her skirt, Mama Du was so excited that she burst into tears, crying and shouting: "Second Miss, Second Miss, you are still alive!" What they said is true, they didn't lie to the old slave, you are still alive! You're alive! ”

"Mama, get up." Ruoyan also cried uncontrollably, and quickly knelt down, "Mama has suffered all these years." ”

"Bitter what? It's not bitter at all, Second Miss. Mama Du patted Ruoyan's hand and cried, "The old slave has always thought that the subordinates around the second lady have been personally selected by the lady, and they are all competent. How can the second miss die easily? The old slave has always believed that the second lady is blessed with a great life, and it will never be so easy to disappear. It's good to live and have hope, but how can it be bitter if you have hope. It's the second miss, I'm afraid I've suffered a lot over the years, right? ”

"Mama, Yan Yan is not bitter. It's true. Ruoyan hugged Mama Du and cried with tears on her face.

"How can it not be bitter? Look at you, you're all thin. When I was a child, I had some meat, but now I only have skin and bones left. The second lady told the old slave the truth. My second lady! Mama Du's eyes were not very good, and while looking at Ruoyan, she stretched out her hand and touched Ruoyan's face to roughly know what Ruoyan looked like now.

"How can Yan Yan's suffering be compared with Mama, Mama's hands are all cocoons. Mama should not be more than fifty years old this year, and her hair is all white. Ruoyan took Mama Du's hand and cried.

"Okay, well, it's not easy for your master and servant to see each other again after so many years. I heard that Mama Du has bad eyes? These days, I asked the imperial doctor to come and take a look at my grandmother, and I would be better sooner and serve the concubine earlier. Li Yizhe coughed softly.

Mama Du noticed Li Yizhe at this time, and just then patronized Ruoyan, she hurriedly kowtowed three times: "The old slave has seen the emperor, and the emperor forgives his sins." ”

Li Yizhe helped Ruoyan up from the ground, helped Mama Du again, and explained: "Now that the concubine is pregnant, there are few experienced people in the palace. Others can't rest assured, Mama Du took some trouble to take care of the concubine. ”

"The old slave will definitely take good care of the mother." Mama Du was so happy that she didn't know how to speak.

"Where's Mama's luggage? Can you bring? Ruoyan asked Gonggong Lin.

"I brought them all, Mama didn't have many things, just a pack. The old slave will go to the Internal Affairs Office to buy some more for the grandmother according to the rules of the main lady in the palace. Rest assured. Grandpa Lin replied with a smile and bent over.

"My father-in-law has bothered, now that Mama is older, things and medicinal materials to replenish the body are all in a good place, and silver is not a problem, as long as Mama is comfortable with it." Ruoyan advised, but couldn't help crying again, "Poor grandma has worked hard for most of her life, and she has not enjoyed any blessings with us sisters, and she worries about it all day long. ”

"Okay, Yan, stop crying." Li Yizhe coaxed her, "Mama Du has just arrived, you should also ask the next person to prepare some hot water for Mama Du to wash, change into good clothes and arrange a place to eat in the next place, right?" ”

"The concubines are busy and forget." Ruoyan patted her head, "Ling Yin, Ling Yin, you hurry, take Mama down to clean up." ”

"Yes, sissy." Ling Yin is also a discerning person, so she came up and helped Mama Du to go down to tidy up her things and clean up the house, and specially picked a room facing south for Mama Du.

Because Gonggong Lin personally went to the Internal Affairs Office to supervise things, the Internal Affairs Office was very attentive and did not dare to slack off at all. I almost bought things for Mama Du according to the rules of the master in the palace.

In the end, the light and precious clothes were a set of silk begonias and a skirt, and a set of gold silk and floral skirts. Other clothes in spring, summer, autumn and winter can be more than a dozen pieces according to the season, and the rouge gouache is not much more, but there are many other heads and faces. It's like a wealthy faction.

After Mama Du went down, Ruoyan cried in Li Yizhe's arms for a while, and it was okay. Ruoyan was happy in the evening, and the front line also spread good news, so he simply set up a stage to find a lively scene. Mama Du has always liked the Peony Pavilion, and Cheng Yiyi, the actor of the troupe, sang Du Liniang even more. It's the one that sings about the mother.

"Leaning on the carving, where is the sound of the opening of the gate?

The door is firmly linked, why is there no room for people to talk? This moss courtyard, how can it blow off the paper money? Madam, isn't it Aunt Dao who came?

Auntie is coming, grandma is scared. How dare this aunt be a ghost?

Don't hesitate. Move the lamp to the end of the month, but the face of the year? It's the face of the year.

Son, it's a ghost, and my mother can't give up going.

After three years of broken intestines, how can you fall into the pearl of the sea to spin? Daddy and mother, return the soul in the underworld? Oh my son!

You throw shallow soil, and your bones are cold and you can't sleep. I can't eat enough of my grandmother's meal, and Jiangnan is cold and fast. But I don't want to be today, and I can't afford the past. It's such a mystery, and it's even clear that it's heavenly! Ghosts don't want it, people don't dislike it, it's not a previous life, how can it be connected in this life! Old aunt, I owe you for guarding my son.

If you are close, you can't swallow it, and your heart is cold early. Kong and him do seven to do Zhongyuan, how do you know that he is a pair of lovers? I catch ghosts and rape people, do you know what he does in the shadows? Such a strange fate, such a strange fate, is reincarnated. ”

When I met my mother, it was about Du Liniang coming back from the dead and meeting her mother, although Du Mama was not her own mother, but in the end, it was the nurse who took up the word mother.

A play is sung in response to the occasion. It's just that if Ruoyan is pregnant, how many concubines in the palace feel good? There are so many concubines listening to the play below who are unhappy.

It's Yun Meiren, after all, she is also her own cousin, so she doesn't feel very uncomfortable.

Feng Meiren's heart is not a taste as if she has knocked over the five-flavor bottle, she has been in the palace for a long time, not to mention that she is pregnant, and she has not had the opportunity to sleep a few times, although she can't see anything on her face, but the veil under her is about to be wrenched.

Why? Why did Ruoyan have such a good life not long after entering the palace? No matter how bad it is to give birth to a child, it is the first one in the palace. In the future, the honor and favor are unlimited. Now that they have been crushed to death, what will happen if they have children in the future? No, absolutely not! Their Feng family also pointed to her to glorify her ancestors.
