Chapter 20 Scattered Drama I
It's cold outside, and if the sun isn't hot, you'll still feel cold when you don't wear more than one when you go out.
Shen Li's old hand injury recurred, and she couldn't stand the slightest cold, so Gu Yun asked people to sew a few bracers with purple lambskin for her to wear in turn.
A few green apricots were in the room, taking out the various autumn clothes to be used for the banquet and putting them on the incense cage with spices.
Shen Li sat on the curly foot couch and flipped through the gift list of the past few days, and there was nothing uneasy about Steward He's doing. The people are sophisticated and take care of all aspects very thoughtfully. Shen Li looked at it, not only was it very clear, but he could also learn a lot of things from it.
The small stove on the side was gurgling with white fungus peach gum lotus seed soup, in fact, this thing was the best to drink cold, but Shen Li's hands had to be cold and cold, so no matter what was hot, he had to use it while it was hot. The small stove had been boiling for two hours from morning to now, and the heat spread out in a straight line from the hole, and looked like a mist in the light that came through the window.
Yinglan watched the time and poured the sweet soup that had just boiled into a small porcelain white bowl, and added a piece of rock sugar to her according to Shen Li's preference.
"Madame will rest, first drink some lotus seed soup to moisten it."
Shen Li happened to finish reading it too, and put aside the stack of gift lists. "I'll eat one lamp, and you can share the rest. If that's not enough, go to the kitchenette to get it yourself. ”
Fei Lu smiled on the side: "Madame doesn't have to worry about us, Sister Yinglan has taken care of it." ”
The Wuqi couple also laughed, and they all followed: "I knew that the food here is so good, so we went to ask He Yi Gongzi to come here earlier." ”
Everyone is a girl of the same age, whether it was Shen Li's side before or sent by Gu Yun later, in terms of personality and conduct, they were all carefully selected. Therefore, in just a few days, the atmosphere between the several people was very intimate.
Shen Li drank it, and the sweat on his nose was better. After wiping it with a warm handkerchief, she smiled and said to Wuqi: "You have been walking around outside, and you must be very clear about the family here in Qingzhou." In a few days, we'll have to walk the streets, so tell me what we need to pay attention to. ”
Wu Qian hurriedly smiled and blessed, "Madame's status is precious, in addition to the one in our house, the Zhong family, the Wei family, and the Yun family are worth a serious trip." The rest depends on which one the eldest prince wants to take care of, and the lady will go to which house to show up. ”
"Oh, that's all there is?"
"These are the only serious ones, but in the past two years, the eldest prince has been very close to Wei and Lou. In previous years, the eldest prince would personally get together with the sons of these two families, as well as several other people who were close to each other, in Rizhao Building. Wu Qian said again.
Shen Li nodded, and asked again: "Does the eldest prince come to visit the elders of the Lou and Wei families under the festival?" ”
Wu Qian shook his head: "No, except for official occasions, the eldest prince rarely has contact with the family members of several families, but every year, he will arrange an additional gift to be sent to a few close families." ”
Shen Li smiled slightly, he couldn't see Gu Yun's dull temperament, and there was such a clear distinction between love and hate in these things. It's just that in doing so, although it gives enough face to the people around him, it is a little tactful after all. It shouldn't be a superior person, the best posture of the emperor.
"Tell me about the relationship between Zhong, Wei, and Yun, and the people you might have to deal with." Shen Li temporarily suppressed the thoughts in his heart and turned to Wuqi. "The eldest prince only told me a rough idea before, and I don't understand the relationship inside. lest you say the wrong thing at the time, and it will not be good. ”
"Yes, ma'am." Before they came here, they had been instructed by Gu Yun. Therefore, for Shen Li's question, he had already made full preparations. Hearing Shen Li ask, he carefully explained to Shen Li the relationship between several families, the ties of in-laws, the movement of each family, and even the disputes between concubines.
Shen Li listened carefully, and finally asked again: "So the most harmonious family style among the few families is the Lou family that came from behind?" ”
"Yes. Not only between brothers, but also between sisters. Wu Qian replied.
Lily on the other side also added: "Among the people who help Gongzi do things now, in addition to our own people, the Lou family has contributed the most." ”
"The Yun family left a three-room master in Beijing?" Shen Li ran his fingers along the Wutong hair, and said a little strangely: "You just said that this three-room old man is the most old-fashioned, he only studies some books and antiquities on weekdays, and rarely goes out to socialize." Isn't that incompatible with other families in Qingzhou? ”
After all, it was Gu Yun's foreign family, Wu Qian hesitated, but still nodded and said, "Yes, I haven't walked around with the families much over the years." Only on festivals and important days will the Lingzhou family go down the salute. But that's not much to stay, just go to the door and have a cup of tea. ”
Shen Li propped his head and fell into deep thought, is the Yun family stupid? The answer is definitely no.
The Zhong family of the four families is declining, and the Wei family is aggressive, only the Yun family has always been able to keep pace with the Gu family for so many years. Thinking of this, Shen Li couldn't help but feel a little bored, and the relationship between the family affected his whole body. Now that she is in her position, she is naturally not immune.
Zhennan Wangfu is an undercurrent surging, full of weirdness. To deal with such a situation, I am still a little stretched and too struggling. But now is not the time to worry about this, but the upcoming festival banquets, need more snacks.
Shen Li glanced at the cool and depressed room, and for a while he didn't know whether to sigh that he was lucky or that he was unlucky.
Generally speaking, when a new daughter-in-law sees a foreign guest, she is brought by the elders of the family to recognize people. In the case of Zhennan Palace, with the prince's strict order in front, even Concubine Zhong, who has infinite scenery on weekdays, cannot make an exception to attract her guests.
Thinking that he was about to usher in all kinds of unknown warblers and Yanyan, which also involved inextricable relationships, Shen Li's head hurt a little.
She frowned and was distressed here, and the next black man looked at her face and stepped forward and said, "Madame, isn't she thinking that there are too many people to recognize at that time, and you are worried that you can't take care of it?" ”
Shen Li nodded, "Yes, I'm from Yanjing, and I've never met the ladies and ladies here." As soon as we met, it was such an important occasion, and if something went wrong at that time, I would be embarrassed and small, but I was afraid of causing trouble to the eldest son. ”
Wu Qian hurriedly smiled: "If Madame is worried about this matter, she can relax as much as possible." Although there are no serious ladies in our house to accompany Madame out with them, we can always find a few outside. Don't say it's far away, among the relatives, Mrs. Yun San must be present. At that time, those who are of high rank will naturally be introduced to you by her, and the eldest prince of the same generation will definitely ask Mrs. Lou to accompany her. Madame is also the county lord of Yipin personally appointed by His Majesty, although there are many noble people in our Southern Regions, but in a serious way, the only noble person who is still alive today and can go beyond the rank of Madame is the old lady Yun of the Yun family's own family in Lingzhou. ”
Shen Li came to his senses at this time, and couldn't help but be a little funny. Yes, he is also the county lord with a title from the first product specially sealed by the emperor. No matter what everyone in the Southern Regions thinks in their hearts, this respect on the surface must still be given to themselves. She touched the soft purple lambskin bracers, and the soft corners of her mouth smiled even more.
According to last night's news, the will to canonize the prince is already on the way south, and soon her identity in the southern region will be one more important.
