Chapter 244: Accidents
The day after the wedding of the county lord of Huaizhen, Zhou Yi'er returned from the province with satisfaction, and told everyone about the excitement of the palace that day in the Detai Palace: "...... Queen Ning's maiden family arrived at more than a dozen female dependents, there were five or six girls who were about the same age as the courtiers, and there seemed to be another one who was a descendant, and specially came to send the county lord out of the cabinet, and the Liu family was a barbarian marquis to welcome the relatives, originally thought that the Liu family would open an ancestral hall after returning to Donghu, and the imperial capital would be much simpler, and it was also very lively and solemn, the Liu family was said to have come a year earlier to clean the ancestral house, saying that they would put a seven-day flowing water mat, I heard that the ancestral house of the Liu family was very big, but the courtiers only accompanied them in the county lord's boudoir, But I didn't follow Liu's house to see it, and I don't know what it looks like. ”
"The Marquis of Killing Barbarians came here for the sake of his family, Liu Dingfang didn't seem to be very good when he got up last year, and it was mostly the Marquis of Killing Barbarians who helped to take care of it, this time he personally greeted his relatives, and Queen Ning should be satisfied?" The Queen Mother nodded and asked with a chuckle.
Dayong's customs, on the day of the wedding, the bride dressed herself in the boudoir and waited, in addition to the groom himself, the man also needs to invite a clan elder to accompany the door to greet him, Liu Dingyuan, the marquis of the barbarian, is the brother of the head of the Liu family, that is, the uncle of Liu Lie and Liu Suguan, and the person with the highest title in the Donghu Liu family.
Liu Dingyuan is an extremely outstanding person in the Liu family, but unfortunately he is not the eldest son, and although the head of the family Liu Dingfang is slightly inferior to him, he is not without the ability to lead the family, so Liu Dingyuan can only be subordinate.
After the Northern Expedition, Changtai personally named the Marquis of Liu Dingyuan, but only named the head of the Liu family a raid on the north, which seems to be rewarded according to merit, but it is actually a divisive plan. However, the Liu family has been facing the threat of Beirong for many years, and has always been harmonious and united, and the Liu brothers have never reported any disharmony in the past few years.
Liu Dingyuan's status in Donghu is very important, second only to the head of the family, he personally accompanied his nephew to greet his relatives, which obviously shows that the Liu family attaches great importance to this marriage, Duanmu Jingguang naturally wants to breathe a sigh of relief, no matter what kind of scandal has happened in the palace, Liu Dingyuan came forward, saying that the Liu family at least recognizes Huaizhen's status and identity.
Danzhu was curious on the side: "Sister Zhou, can you see what kind of person the husband of the county lord of Huaizhen is?" ”
"Originally, I wanted to go and see it, but the young lady from the Duanmu family pulled me to talk, and when I listened, the person had already gone out of the second door, so I couldn't go out and see." Zhou Yier said very regretfully.
The Queen Mother and the others were all surprised: "What did the young lady from the Duanmu clan say to you?" ”
"Back to the Queen Mother, Miss Duanmu asked a few words for the draft in the spring of next year." Zhou Yi'er owed a little and said with a smile.
The Queen Mother suddenly frowned, and said lightly: "Talking about the palace, this is not what everyone should do!" ”
"Queen Mother Mingjian, Miss Duanmu didn't ask about the palace, she just asked where she would live during the draft, and whether she could go over when she was far from Shanglin Yuan." Zhou Yi'er hurriedly said, "These courtiers don't know, so they can't answer her." ”
"Shanglin Yuan?" The Queen Mother was puzzled, "The draft is a draft, she asked what Shanglin Yuan does?" ”
"The courtiers were inexplicable at first, but later I learned that Miss Duanmu had a similar temperament to the lord of Danzhu County, and she liked flowers and trees very much, and there were many strange flowers and plants in Shanglin Garden, and she had long wanted to see it, so she heard about the draft and asked about it everywhere." Zhou Yi'er pursed her lips and smiled, and said to Dan Zhu, "I'm afraid that when that Miss Duanmu enters the palace, if she knows the county lord's hobbies, she will even worry about Fangyuan!" ”
Su Ruhui guessed on the side: "Isn't it for this reason that I went to King Ning's Mansion?" ”
Danzhu said generously: "If this is the case, when this Miss Duanmu enters the palace, the Queen Mother will allow Danzhu to meet and talk to her!" ”
"If that kid really just likes to play with flowers and plants, you can get close." The Queen Mother nodded, and the implication was naturally that if the Duanmu clan used this as an excuse to have other plans, they would not allow it.
Dan Zhu hurriedly agreed.
After sitting like this for a while, Su Ruhui was worried that she was like last time, and she talked about Su Wanze as she spoke, looking for an opportunity, and retired first under the pretext of applying medicine for leg injuries, and still took a soft sedan chair back to Yutang Palace.
The autumn breeze blew through the sedan curtain, and a coolness surged into my heart.
Su Ruhui couldn't help but say to Xiuwan through the sedan chair: "Go back and turn out the thicker clothes and fox fur, it's really cold!" ”
"What the young lady said is that the slave didn't expect that it would be cold as if it was going to snow in a few days." Xiuwan replied with a little trembling, Su Ruhui heard that her voice was not quite right, and then she thought that she could avoid the wind while sitting in a sedan chair, but Xiuwan wanted to follow the sedan chair, but she didn't even bring a hand stove, so she could only urge the inner supervisor who carried the sedan chair to run faster.
Back to the Yutang Palace, Su Ruhui frowned and ordered the floating water to boil hot water to bathe, Xiuwan entered the inner room early to turn out the thick coat of autumn and winter for her, so busy for an hour, Su Ruhui wore long hair that was half dry and half wet and wore a set of cotton dresses into the inner room, took a dry handkerchief and continued to wipe it, only to hear the wind outside the window, and couldn't help but say to Xiuwan who followed up: "Fortunately, the county lord of Huaizhen got married yesterday, if it is today, I am afraid that it will be ominous again." ”
"This is the imperial capital, Donghu is afraid that it will be snowy, even if it was as cold as yesterday and today, it is for the county lord to feel it in advance." Xiuwan knew that Su Ruhui didn't like the county lord, so she always mentioned Huaizhen with a little sarcasm.
Su Ruhui smiled slightly: "Now that she is married, don't mention those disputes in the past, you don't have to be aggrieved for me, she always loses." ”
"That one has taken advantage of the identity of a county lord, where can he compare to you, Miss?" Xiuwan said disapprerovingly, "It's not that the slave flatters the young lady, the county lord is not as good as the young lady in terms of temperament and appearance, but he still has to be the enemy of the young lady everywhere......"
"Okay, let's not talk about it." Su Ruhui raised her eyebrows and said, "By the way, something happened that day, I forgot to ask you, can you pack your things and send them to Lanqiu Palace later?" ”
Xiuwan said: "The slave maid was supposed to wait for the young lady to come back and give it away, but then the young lady didn't come back for a long time, so she had to send it over first, and found another excuse for the young lady." The things prepared are six pieces of woven cloud silk, two pairs of tortoiseshells, a pair of phoenix mouth beads and dark incense hairpins, a pair of Yeming Chuan, and a water essence ruler eight, and according to what the lady said, I took a glass lamp given by the lord of Danzhu last time and put it on the top, but the slave and maid paid attention to it when they went out, and they did not bump into people. ”
"Except for the flute and the lamp, they are all in pairs, and those who don't know think that Miss Liu Jiu is going out of the cabinet." Su Ruhui smiled, and Xiuwan said carefully: "Miss, the slave didn't send it wrong, right?" ”
"No, but I'm curious, how did you come up with that shakuhachi? Although Liu Xiuyi is good at the piano, how do you know that her niece is good at shakuhachi? Su Ruhui asked curiously.
Xiuwan's face turned red: "Where does the slave know so much?" I just thought that Donghu Liu's family was the same door valve as Miss's house, and I couldn't take out idle things, so the slave maid picked up those uncommon ones in Miss's things, such as the dark incense and the luminous chuan, which are rare things for ordinary families, even two pairs of tortoiseshells, which are also excellent. The shakuhachi was brought in by the young lady when she returned to the palace last time, and the slave maid thought that the young lady had learned to play the flute some time ago, but later asked the young lady to find out that it was not. When I was preparing things that day, I thought it was a novelty, and Miss Kan didn't value it too much, so I put it in. ”
Xiuwan, as the most trusted person around Su Ruhui, takes care of Su Ruhui's belongings in the palace, and has great authority, but when it comes to such a personal exchange, she still has to ask Su Ruhui, and she didn't say anything bad when she saw Su Ruhui, she was very happy in her heart, and dried her hair with her heart, and served her to untie her coat and enter the account.
"It's time for Ming'er to call someone to go to the Shang Sleep Bureau to get charcoal." Su Ruhui touched the cold brocade through the candle flame outside the tent and sighed.
"It's always October, it's cold early this year, it's cold at the beginning of November in previous years, and maybe it will snow in October this year." Xiuwan was cleaning up outside, and Su Ruhui was about to speak, when she suddenly felt something in the quilt and pulled herself in!
Rao her has always been calm, and she can't help but be frightened by this change!
