Chapter 39: "Untitled"
Another minister in the court proposed the draft, which provoked the emperor to be furious and severely punished the minister. For a while, the court didn't dare to mention the draft.
Although many ministers are still worried about the draft, they don't dare to say it, for fear of hitting the muzzle, Xiao Chenhao is a ruthless and resolute emperor. Once he violates his bottom line, no matter who he is, he will be severely punished.
No matter what the ministers secretly thought, they didn't dare to say it, for fear that the emperor would be angry and wouldn't even be able to save his life. So it's been quiet in the court lately, and I think I've never mentioned the draft. The emperor was very satisfied with the performance of the courtiers.
Time always flies like flowing water, and more than half a month has passed in a blink of an eye.
The Nalan Zhifan brothers also embarked on the road back to Beijing, and the flying pigeon passed the news that they would arrive home tomorrow.
Today, there is only Nalan Youruo in the British Mansion, and the British Duchess and the British Duchess and the Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law went to attend the banquet set up by the eldest princess of Hengtai.
The eldest princess of Hengtai and her family returned to the capital seven days ago.
Although the eldest princess of Hengtai also invited the daughter of the capital, Nalan Youruo did not go, and everyone in the capital knew that the eldest lady of the British Mansion, Nalan Youruo, rarely participated in banquets.
"Miss Cousin, Miss Wang are here," Lixia said to Nalan quietly
"Didn't my cousin and Sister Dandan go to the banquet?" Nalan thought in his heart when he heard this.
"Come in" Nalan Youruo put down the needle and thread in his hand, stood up and walked to the door.
He also instructed Dong Xuedao, "Go and make a pot of Gu Zhu's purple bamboo shoots and serve some snacks that the two sisters like to eat."
Seeing her young lady's excited appearance, Dong Xue couldn't help but shake her head, these days, the young lady has been focused on the birthday gift for the old lady, except for saying goodbye to the old lady and the lady, she has not even gone out of the door of Sanssouci Xuan.
"Cousin, Sister Dandan" Nalan Youruo saw the two of them come in and greeted him.
"Ning Ning, why did you come out" Xiao Yunning and Wang Danyu walked in, and saw Nalan Youruo standing at the door waiting for the two of them, Xiao Yunning stepped forward with a smile and held Nalan Youruo's hand.
"I miss you," Nalan smiled and looked at the two of them.
When Wang Danyu heard this, he couldn't help but nod Nalan Youruo's head with his hand, "What you said, the ghosts don't believe it, why don't you go to see us when you miss us?" ”
Nalan Youruo is a person who doesn't like to go out, firstly: Nalan Youruo's appearance is too beautiful, and he has to wait for a veil when he goes out, and Nalan Youruo is troublesome.
The second is: Nalan doesn't like to be false and wronged with others, and most of the daughters in Beijing are fake, and they obviously don't like the sisterhood that they have to pretend to be on the surface.
Nalan Youruo is tired from looking at it, it is better to stay at home, or listen to Lan Xiaozhu reading, and come comfortably.
Hearing this, Nalan Youruo stepped forward and grabbed Wang Danyu's arm, and said in a coquettish tone, "Sister Dandan, I also want to see you, but you also know that it will be my grandmother's sixtieth birthday soon, and I don't have time to see you when I am preparing for a birthday gift."
"Really?" Wang Danyu stared at Nalan Youruo and said with a suspicious expression.
"Yes, yes" Nalan Youruo raised his hand and quickly expressed his determination.
This is her future sister-in-law, Nalan Youruo said to herself in her heart.
Xiao Yunning looked at the two of them who were making a mess, and deliberately joked, "Why, treat me as air!" ”
Wang Danyu deliberately made a blessing ceremony, "The county lord laughed, how dare Danyu treat the county lord as air"
Speaking of which, Wang Danyu continued with bad intentions, "Besides, with the physique of the county lord, even if we want to treat you as air, we can't ignore your sense of existence."
After speaking, Wang Danyu laughed first, and Nalan Youruo couldn't help it.
"Haha, haha, ha" Xiao Yunning also thought this sentence was a bit funny. As soon as I looked up, I saw that Wang Danyu and Nalan Youruo were still laughing.
Xiao Yunning stretched out her hand to support her eyes, shook her head, these two people are going to be together, and they are almost able to catch up with the storyteller.
"Alright, alright, enough laughing? Enough laughing, let's get down to business! Xiao Yunning hurriedly changed the topic, otherwise Xiao Yunning felt that these two people could laugh for a year.
Nalan Youruo couldn't hold back a smile and asked the two of them, "Are we going to the house, or are we in this courtyard?"
Wang Danyu took a look, and saw that the courtyard was lush and green, and all kinds of flowers were about to bloom, which seemed to be full of spring.
"Let's go to the pavilion anymore, let's go to the gazebo!" There is a small pavilion in Sanssouci Xuan. In spring, Nalan Youruo likes to read books and play the piano in the pavilion the most, that is, he will not feel cold, and the sun will not be able to shine.
It's early April, and although it's not as hot as June, it's not too low.
"Okay" Nalan Youruo nodded, and the three of them walked to the small pavilion, although the pavilion is not big, but it is no problem to accommodate five people.
As soon as the three of them finished it, Dongxue brought the prepared snacks and brewed tea leaves.
After Dongxue poured tea for the three of them, she gently retreated.
Xiao Yunning picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and praised, "Gu Zhu purple bamboo shoots, this should be the tea that has just been paid tribute this year."
Although Gu Zhu's purple bamboo shoots are not as valuable as the dragon well before the rain, the taste of Gu Zhu's purple bamboo shoots, Nalan Youruo feels that it is a little better than the dragon well before the rain.
Moreover, Gu Zhu's purple bamboo shoots are also valuable and marketable on the market.
"We drank the tribute just in early March, and His Majesty rewarded Daddy with a few cans, and Daddy and Auntie knew that I liked to drink, so they all sent them to me" Nalan Youruo took a sip and said.
The British husband and wife doted on their daughter, and they couldn't wait to pluck the stars in the sky for Nalan Ruo, not to mention a few cans of tea.
Xiao Yunning and Wang Danyu naturally understood how favored Nalan Youruo was at home.
Xiao Yunning smiled and said, "Your Majesty rewarded the Junshan Silver Needle to the Junwang Mansion, and my mother asked people to give more than half of it, but I haven't drunk it yet."
Wang Danyu also agreed, "Yes, this year, the emperor gave different rewards to several ministers, but the reward for my father was Biluochun"
After listening to the words of the two, Nalan Youruo's heart was warm, the emperor rewarded his father with Longjing and Junshan Silver Needle before the rain last year, and he had never rewarded Gu Zhu purple bamboo shoots, Gu Zhu purple bamboo shoots were also bought on the market, but the best was a tribute.
If there is no accident this year, Nalan Youruo guessed that the emperor should give his father Longjing before the rain, but because his father liked Gu Zhu purple bamboo shoots, he asked the emperor for Gu Zhu purple bamboo shoots.
Nalan Youruo was very moved in her heart, how fortunate she was to be born in the British government, and how fortunate she was to have parents who put themselves first everywhere.
I have to say that Nalan Youruo guessed correctly, this year, when the emperor gave his confidants and ministers a tribute, he gave his own teacher, the British public, a few jars of Longjing and Junshan silver needles before the rain.
The reason why a tribute is a tribute is because it is selected one in a thousand miles, and it is of great value and limited quantity.
But the emperor was very respectful to his teacher, and the annual tribute to the British government was not to mention the best, and the quantity was also large.
This year, the British public knew that his daughter liked Gu Zhu purple bamboo shoots very much, so when the emperor gave him a dragon well before the rain, he proposed to ask for Gu Zhu purple bamboo shoots.
After the emperor listened to the words of the British duke, he asked someone to give Gu Zhu purple bamboo shoots to the British duke. The British Duke originally wanted to exchange the Dragon Well before the rain, but the emperor said that Gu Zhu Zizhu Bamboo Shoots was given to the little junior sister by him, and asked the British Duke to take the Dragon Well before the rain home.
"Sister Dandan can't just go out in a few days!" The marriage of Wang Danyu and Nalan Zhifan has been decided, and it is set for July 12.
Before the Daxuan woman gets married, she will embroider her wedding dress and a set of clothes for her in-laws.
It's already April, and it's three months until July.
"Yes, I can't go out casually in the future," Wang Danyu said with a smile.
Wang Danyu is actually very happy in her heart, because she is about to marry someone she has liked for many years.
Nalan Youruo saw that Wang Danyu's face gradually appeared, a sweet smile, and knew that this was thinking about his eldest brother.
"Sister Dandan, is this missing my eldest brother?" Nalan said with a narrow face.
Wang Danyu nodded very generously, "Yes, when will your eldest brother come back?"
Wang Danyu and Nalan Zhifan grew up together since childhood, childhood sweethearts, and they are the right people. This marriage is a match made in heaven in the mouths of the people of Beijing.
"Tomorrow, the eldest brother will send me a message to the flying pigeon, saying that I will be home tomorrow," Nalan said quietly.
Nalan Zhifan couldn't send a message to Wang Danyu, so the two of them could only suffer from lovesickness.
Xiao Yunning was very nervous when she heard this, she was afraid that Nalan Zhiyu would come back, and told herself that he didn't like herself, what should she do.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yunning was very apprehensive, Nalan Youruo saw this, reached out and clasped Xiao Yunning's hand, giving her silent comfort.
At the same time, I also believe that my second brother must like Xiao Yunning.
Xiao Yunning saw the little hand holding her hand, nodded and thought: If your cousin likes herself, then she and her cousin will grow old hand in hand.
If your cousin doesn't like you, then I hope you're well. I don't want to stay with you, I just want to accompany you to the end of the world.
Xiao Yunning silently prayed in her heart: I hope God can give her a chance. Let yourself and your loved ones grow old together.
