Chapter 10 There is no east wind in Dongfeng Alley
The little steward in the East Palace, who was in charge of accompanying the crown princess to Ningning, was a little stunned. Whether it is the royal family or the common people, what woman does not look forward to reuniting with her parents after getting married? Last night, the chief steward of Qu specially called him to his side and told him to take the widest royal street to avoid the carriage bumping. Take the nearest alley so that both Su Fu and the crown princess are in a hurry. But as soon as she came out today, the crown princess clamored to see the plum blossoms.
Just look at it, I remembered that when the princess's personal maid came to inquire, it was behaving properly, saying that it was to see what he meant. The little steward's heart is warm, and now there are very few masters who don't treat them as slaves and call them at will.
Besides, the crown princess was born in a famous family, and she is a first-class lady, so she will never show her head out of the carriage.
That's fine, when you go back, just treat it as if it doesn't exist, and there's no need to even report it.
The carriage was guided by the little steward to the east wind alley. The alley is quite spacious and lined with plum trees. At this time, the flowers are blooming, under the clusters of red plum branches, there are many visitors to watch.
The two carriages in front of them staggered side by side, and the carriage of the East Palace stopped. The little steward waited in front of the carriage and reported softly: "This place is slightly congested, Your Highness can lift the curtain and enjoy the plum blossoms." ”
There was no movement in the carriage.
In the end, everyone is beautiful, although they are married, they are still so polite.
The little steward pondered in his heart, and suddenly heard the sound of the curtain in front of the carriage. The crown princess Su Qiang had already jumped out of the carriage with Shi Shiran.
This one......
The early spring was warm and cold, and the sweat on the little steward's head suddenly came out.
Su Qiang was wearing a scarlet hanging shirt today, a white brocade curtain on her shoulders, and a phoenix hairpin on her double-headed fairy bun trembled gently. There is no bead powder on the bright face, but it is bright and scorching. As soon as he got out of the carriage, many people were secretly looking in this direction.
The maidservant Xiaohe quickly stepped forward and put a cloud veil on Su Qiang. Su Qiang didn't seem to care, and walked towards the most prosperous place of plum blossoms.
"Quick, keep up, keep up!" The little butler who reacted hurriedly ordered the guards to follow. The carriage swayed and followed behind Su Qiang.
Su Qiang stood in place and froze before she identified the direction and walked forward.
She hadn't been here for a year. When the plum blossoms bloomed last year, she had just left the capital. When I came back at this time, it was already a matter of fact.
Along the alleyway full of plum blossoms, she looked left and right like an ordinary flower admirer, and walked forward. Xiao Qing, who was following him, couldn't help but say: "When the plum blossoms bloomed last year, Miss said that if it weren't for the strict control of the master, I really wanted to come and see it." I didn't expect to see it this year. ”
The young lady of Shangshu Mansion has been raised according to the lady's behavior since she was a child, except for the Daughter's Day and the beggar Qiao, I am afraid that she cannot appear in the market at will.
Su Qiang nodded, pointed to the sparsely populated place in front of her and said, "There are very few people there, isn't it good for the flowers to bloom?" ”
As she spoke, she had already walked a few quick steps, through the bustling crowd. The carriage behind couldn't squeeze in, and the little steward was so anxious that he stomped his feet on the other side of the crowd.
Now it's all right.
Su Qiang breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
She knew why there were few pedestrians in front of her, because one more street away was the Fuguo Mansion. Today, the Fuguo Mansion held a funeral for the funeral of Cui Wange, the concubine who was not out of the cabinet.
Even if there is no funeral, ordinary people will avoid the founding government to avoid causing nuisance.
After walking for a short time, I saw the sparse white mixed with the red plum blossoms in front of me.
The door of the Guogong Mansion is wide, there are two stone lions in front of the door, and the stone pillar at the door has the four words of "the door of the tiger might" written by the first emperor himself.
Now the courtyard is hung with white silk, the high banner pole has been erected, and the money paper is scattered all over the ground. When she got closer, she could even see the words "Cui Mansion Funeral, Idlers Avoid" posted on the door.
The Guogong Mansion has done a lot of funerals over the years, and there have been many of them, and even the people under them can explain the process to the top. At this time, they should have invited the tea master of Tianhou Temple to take charge, and the white pavilion should also be set up in the open space in the backyard and start to make colorful clothes.
Where does Cui Wange's coffin stop?
The man came back yesterday, but the news of his death has been home for four or five days. The mourning hall should have been set up long ago, and the offering table, the braising lamp, and the fruits and grains should have been prepared. It's just that in this Guogong Mansion, she is lower than Cui Wange, but the only one who kneels in front of the spirit to burn paper is her younger brother Cui Wanyan.
Cui Wanyan is only nine years old now.
I don't know if he has seen the remains of his eldest sister.
Let's not see it.
That day, she first fell into the incense and fled from the tent in a groggy state, and before she had gone far, her vest was cold.
How many people did she kill in the chaos? If it weren't for the fact that her body gradually didn't obey, she should have been able to dodge the broad-bladed machete that slashed at her shoulder. Later, it was the legs, it was the waist, and she was almost dismembered to death.
"If Miss Cui feels wronged, remember that the court doesn't want you to go back." She heard this before the last trace of consciousness vanished.
Imperial court?
Before she came, the military department had already played the emperor, and if she had made a contribution to quelling the rebellion this time, she would be asked to be a female general. She hasn't left the cabinet at the age of twenty, just to support the Fuguo Mansion.
How did Nandi say she died?
No matter what excuse Nandi gave to cover up the cause of her death, no matter how carefully her body was stitched and covered, if the people of the Cui Mansion investigated carefully, they would still be suspicious.
It's just that Grandpa Guo is already old.
Even if you are suspicious, you can't do anything.
He must have regretted it very much, regretting that he had listened to his daughter's words and sent her to the south to quell the rebellion with the army. How proud she is, proud that she is literate by watching the art of war, proud that her formation strategy can't even argue with her father, proud that she has been in the military camp for a year, and she can already lead the crowd to return triumphantly.
She can defeat tigers and wolves and thieves, but she can't defeat people's hearts.
Su Qiang looked at the white in front of her and closed her eyes slightly. Xiao Qing beside him was puzzled: "Isn't the crown princess going to enjoy the flowers?" The Guogong Mansion is holding a funeral, don't ......"
Don't get discouraged.
Shangshu Mansion and Guogong Mansion have always been at odds, but the little maid can't say the second half of a sentence.
Yes, now that the Guogong Mansion has declined, it is unlucky. The imperial court has forgotten how many generations of the Cui family have fought and how many loyal people have died. The people have forgotten how many cities the Cui family has protected for generations and how many food disasters have been relieved.
The Guogong Mansion withered in this plum blossom Dongfeng Alley, and even the only heir is still remembered by the imperial court.
Su Qiang turned around, and there was a cold light in her eyes.
"Let's go." She said.
Although Xiao Qing still had doubts in his eyes, he hurriedly answered, standing on tiptoe to see where the car in the East Palace was blocked.
"Hey," she said suddenly, "there are a lot of people over there, and they don't seem to be here to enjoy the flowers." ”
