Chapter 7 The Birth Begins
Xia Yunsheng was very leisurely in the small half moon of Baiyu Nunnery, every day with his mother incense to the Buddha, listening to the master explain the Dharma, maybe because of this resentful rebirth, maybe because of the child who had never met, Xia Yunshang looked at the Buddha center in front of him every day, and looked down on all living beings with indescribable emotions, I don't know whether it is joy or sadness.
In this quiet place of Buddhism, Yunshang carefully combed his emotions.
In his previous life, he was burdened with extremely high expectations since he was born, from his grandfather, from the Chu family, from the palace, under such depression, his heart was not calm, he wanted to fight, he wanted to stay away from these worldly mortals, he longed for pure, not involved in political interests, so when the Chu sisters set up a game for themselves, they were moved, and even did not hesitate to fight against the family, just to exchange for a single-minded person.
Who knew that the child in the womb who was killed in the end turned into a pool of blood, and he himself died in vain to the Marquis of Ningguo's mansion.
If you resent the Chu sisters and hated Li Chengyin, what about yourself? Do you also want to resent yourself for having no eyes?
Every time he thought of this, Xia Yunshang would leave the Buddhist hall, as if he was worried that the Buddha would hear his heart, and sat quietly in the corridor outside the Buddhist hall, listening to the bell ringing in the wind under the cornices, and looking at the four shining golden characters of the "Daxiong Treasure Hall" in a daze.
It's a pity that this kind of time away from the troubles of the world is not long, of course, Yunshang doesn't want it to be too long, and the return of rebirth in such a peaceful environment seems to be a world away, Yunshang will always wake up in the middle of the night, and she doesn't know where she is, which makes her panic.
Shangguan Ruian finally rushed back to the Zhenguo Mansion with Yunshang three days before his birthday.
As soon as I entered the mansion, I saw Su Ruoxue, who was wearing a purple silk embroidered peony pattern cloud brocade dress, commanding the mother-in-law who came and went like a red glow, and when she saw the two of them returning, she hurriedly greeted her.
"Xiang'er is back, the eldest princess is also lazy, but she has been busy here for half a month." Su Ruoxue shook the fan and complained.
"Aunt Su has worked hard, my mother is the most capable and careful in looking at Aunt Su, and those who are able to work hard." Xia Yunshang smiled and pulled Su Ruoxue's hand to the main hall, "My mother and I went to the house this time and watched Aunt Su being open, but it was hard." ”
"It's still that Xiang'er feels sorry for me." Su Ruoxue said with a smile, "It's not like some people" said teasingly, glancing at the eldest princess standing on the side, and the eldest princess burst out laughing.
"I also feel sorry for you, look, this is what I went to the White Jade Nunnery to beg, and I have been enshrined for half a month before the Buddha case" As he spoke, he saw Shangguan Ruian take out a piece of jade inlaid gold and jade pendant with magpie climbing branches, "I am also concerned about your brother's affairs, so I can keep it." ”
Su Ruoxue's only son, Chu Xiujie, is twenty years old this year, and is waiting for the imperial examination in the autumn.
Xia Yunsheng's elder brother, Xia Yunxuan entered the barracks at the fourteenth, and made a meritorious service by himself, now eighteen, has been named a major general, and is the future son of Zhenguo Gong.
Chu Xiujie took the path of a civil official, although he was also the prince of the Qingguo Mansion, but the imperial examination still had to be examined.
"Okay, for the sake of this, I won't count you out. I still have a little thing to do, so go and rest, it's not a few days before your birthday. Su Ruoxue didn't care, happily accepted the jade pendant, sent Shangguan Ruian and Xia Yunshang away, and went to arrange matters again.
The two didn't care, and when they saw the old lady, they went back to the hospital to rest.
As soon as they returned to Qiyun Pavilion, Bihe and Lan Rui hurriedly greeted them. "Miss is back, Grandma Xuan sent the four sets of ready-to-wear that she ordered before, just wait for Miss to try it." Bihe said
"Isn't it? The head of this jewelry has also made four new sets, just wait for the lady to decide, and it is easy to change if it is not good. Lan Rui also said hurriedly
"Okay, look at you, didn't Miss just come back? I had lunch and then ordered. Zijuan looked at the two of them in a hurry and smiled
"Sister Zijuan doesn't know, Miss is not here during this time, Grandma Xuan is very busy, arrange this every day, prepare that, you can send a lot of it for Miss to decide, everything else is okay, this ready-to-wear and jewelry are not easy to get, it just so happens that it is inconvenient to go out of the city these days, so I can only wait for Miss to come back, if this is not suitable, there is not much time to change." Bihe returned
"I changed my clothes a few times that day, and I can't make a mistake," Hongyu said with a smile, "Wait for lunch, and then let the young lady set the clothes." ”
Of course, Xia Yunsheng's focus is not on these, "It's inconvenient to go out of the city these days?" Xia Yunshang asked suspiciously
"Yes, Miss didn't know outside the city these days, I heard that it was because the three princes of Liao entered Beijing without permission, and they were not injured by the gangsters, and important items were intercepted, but it is not clear what it is, the emperor ordered the second prince to investigate with all his might, so there will be this difficulty in getting out of the city." Lan Rui said depressedly
"How long ago did this happen?" Ruby asked
"Coincidentally, the time when the third prince of Liao was injured and the time when the young lady fell into the water was one day, but the time for the investigation to start was five days later, and the specific reason for the slave and maid is not clear." Bihe thought about it and went back
"The three princes of Liao entered Beijing without permission, there was a problem, and they definitely didn't want to do it at that time, it is estimated that they lost very important objects before they had to show their identity, and then the emperor attached importance to arranging the second emperor brother to investigate, it should still take some time." Yunshang said, but silently thought in her heart, this time is strange, it happened to be the day of the water.
"It's a coincidence that the slave and maid look at this time." Ruby thought for a moment and said
"Well, what's going on in the second room?" Yunshang asked slowly, this is out of the white jade nunnery, and he knows that the pure days are over, and when he returns to the mansion, he will inevitably face these worldly entanglements, fortunately, he can't solve it, it is better to take the initiative, and he is also very curious about the role of the letter.
"Miss Hui, it was strange that day, Miss Xia went to the second lady angrily after returning from the Qingguo Mansion, and the slave maid listened from a distance and seemed to be dissatisfied because the lady invited Grandma Xuan." Bihe returned.
Oh, dissatisfied, it seems that this Xia Yuqi was spoiled by Mrs. Fang and lost her head, so she complained about this.
"And then?" Yunshang asked with a smile
"Later, it was over, and when Grandma Xuan came the next day, the second lady complained a lot, and was choked back by Grandma Xuan, so she rested." Midori said with a smile.
Yun Sheng shook her head slightly, it seems that the second lady is also arrogant, and she is really a little ......
"What about the Qingguo Mansion? Any news? ”
"Miss Hui, Qiao'er sent a message saying that Chu Mengyao lost her temper when she saw the jewelry, but she still accepted it."
"Tantrums? Which one did Chu Mengyao choose? ”
"Took both." Yun Sheng nodded slightly, and I don't know if Chu Mengxi really felt sorry for this sister, or for other reasons, so he didn't choose any of them.
"Well, I see, what's going on in the shop recently?"
"Miss Hui......"
The arrangements for the birthday were carried out in an orderly manner, Su Ruoxue saw that the eldest princess was back, so she was tired and went back to the Qingguo Mansion, as the eldest daughter-in-law, Su Ruoxue was also in charge of the affairs of the Qingguo Prince's inner house, and it was hard these days, Shangguan Ruian did not keep her, so she continued to be busy.
-On the day of your birthday-
The gate of the Zhenguo Mansion was full of joy, the granddaughter of the Zhenguo Mansion, the emperor's niece, the daughter of Shangguan Ruian, the eldest princess of Zunzheng, and the county lord Jingyi.
These identities have already attracted the attention of all the nobles in the capital. What's more, Xia Yunsheng, the county lord of Jingyi, will be fifteen after today's birthday, and there is still one year to go, which is even more important.
Xia Haoyu was wearing a red Ruyi moire straight jacket, a black jade belt with a black jade belt, a smile on his face seemed to be a lot younger, and the majesty in the battlefield was much less, Xia Yunxuan was wearing a red woven gold moire straight jacket, a white jade belt with a belt, and a red gold crown on his head, inheriting the advantages of Xia Haoyu and the eldest princess, who were already handsome and extraordinary, because of the training in the military camp, he was not like the sons and brothers in Beijing who were a little weak, and the eyebrows were heroic and compelling, and the two of them were kind and greeted guests in front of the door, so that the young ladies who came to the city were shy and did not dare to look at them directly.
And the wives are also looking at such a father and son. Just when there was an endless stream of guests, they saw the top of the imperial tent in the distance, and everyone knew that it was the queen mother and the queen who came to congratulate her.
Xia Haoyu hurriedly instructed the little maid to inform the old lady and the eldest princess. The others waited quietly and stood up according to the official rank.
"Ministers see the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother Wanfu Jin'an, see the Emperor, Long live my emperor, see the Queen Mother, Queen Mother Jin'an."
"Zhong Aiqing is flat, today is the birthday of my niece Jingyi, I am here to congratulate, you Aiqing don't have to be restrained." Saying that, Shangguan Yu, who was wearing a yellow auspicious dragon cloud pattern cloud brocade yellow robe, turned around and helped the queen mother to go down to the phoenix, who was also wearing a yellow bird chaofeng Ji suit, and the group walked to the door.
The Queen Mother smiled and said to Old Lady Xia: "Today, when the mourning family saw it, how many years younger did Grandpa Guo seem to be?" ”
"The Queen Mother laughed, but I haven't seen the Queen Mother for a long time, how is the Queen Mother?" Old lady Xia returned
"Okay, today I see that my granddaughter's whereabouts are getting more and more standard, and the mourning family is even better." As she spoke, the Queen Mother looked at Xia Yunsheng, who was wearing a red gold and rubies double luan, and stood beside the eldest princess.
Under the bright headdress is a pair of smart almond eyes, silent and resting, Qiong's nose is like a knife, the pear vortex on the cheeks is faintly visible, the slender neck only hangs a red gold hundred life lock, the rose red and gold double-layer Guang Aya long tail Luan robe lining the skin is as white as snow, the waist is tied with a beaded gold silk Ruan Yanluo belt, Ruan Yanluo belt is tied into a bow at the back of the waist, scattered on the long tail of Guang Aya, and the waist is slender and not a hand.
The Queen Mother's gaze swept lightly, but it was fixed on the head of Yunshang, which was also a little emerald step shake, just with the little jade step shake and the point emerald earrings that were appreciated a few days ago to form a complete set of emerald makeup, how could it be so good that it only took this red gold step shake.
Facing the puzzled gaze of the Queen Mother, Yunshang smiled slightly, Xia Yuqi doesn't know if you are bold enough to just put some emerald makeup in front of the Queen Mother.
"Yes, the clothes are getting more and more picky." The queen said with a smile.
"The Queen Mother, the Emperor, and the Queen Mother, please." Xia Haoyu said respectfully
The Queen Mother nodded, and the group went to the main hall in a mighty way. After the emperor walked away, the ministers relaxed a little, and they valued the prince of Zhenguo and the county lord of Jingyi a little more in their hearts.
