Chapter 75: Nalan Mansion is full of distinguished guests
Shen Yu glanced at the sack, because it was dark, the woman's hair was pasted on her face, only half of her head was exposed, she didn't look at the real person, when she looked at the magnolia flower looming between the woman's eyebrows, Shen Yu threw the money bag in his hand to Boss Ding, and said with satisfaction,
"This thing is done well, Madame means to send this wild seed to Wanhualou to be destroyed, and torture her as badly as possible, if you dare to let her go halfway, or if you have any other thoughts to ruin Madame's business, beware of your little life!" Boss Ding said with a flattering face,
"Miss Shenyu, don't worry, what Madame ordered was not properly handled by the villain, and this time it will be absolutely proper, and Madame will definitely be satisfied!" After Shen Yu yawned lazily,
"Well, that's pretty much it! It's not too early, you should go on the road as soon as possible and send this wild seed over, don't delay Madame's business! ”
"Yes, yes, yes!" Ding Lao and the big chickens nodded as if pecking rice, and then instructed those people,
"You guys, don't hurry up and get people into the carriage." Soon, several people carried the woman into the carriage, and Shen Yu was relieved after watching the group leave smoothly.
Now, she can go back and report to her wife. After Shen Yu returned home with the maids, behind the corner of the wall in another place, Aunt Zhao and Nan Qiao, dressed in black cloaks, walked out.
Aunt Zhao hid her face and laughed, and couldn't help but say,
"It's wonderful!" Nan Qiao wanted to say something, but his chest was tight, and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
Aunt Zhao helped her and asked worriedly,
"Second Miss, how are you?" Nan Qiao waved his hand, his face was as white as frost,
"It's okay, I can't die." On the eaves not far away, when a man dressed in black saw this scene, his pupils shrank suddenly,
"Wounding a thousand enemies and injuring eight hundred, what a fool!" With that, he turned and disappeared into the darkness. On September 28, the 23rd year of Xuanwu, Nalan Mansion put up lanterns and celebrated the sixteenth birthday of the eldest daughter Nalan Yanqin and the ceremony.
Even if there were bad rumors about the Li family at the palace banquet last time, but the status of the Li family is there, it is inevitable that many people will become inflammatory, and even the small and filial rites of the concubines of Nalan Mansion have become opportunities for the nobles to make friends with the powerful.
Of course, on a day like today, Nalan Guangyao, as the head of the family, naturally has to stay in the house to receive guests.
Li Shi got up early in the morning, she was dressed in silk brocade, wearing a heavy gold and silver headdress on her head, and her delicate makeup covered up her original tiredness, and she looked quite energetic at this time.
Aunt Zhao and Aunt Yao were helping on the side, helping to direct the things that needed to be served at the banquet from time to time, Nalan Suru, Nalan Xunchun and Nalan Fanghua appeared one after another, and after a while, some nobles came up to talk to them, a group of three, a pile of five.
Time passed minute by minute, and what everyone was looking forward to the most was nothing more than Nalan Yanqin and Nalan Wuyu, the two most famous nobles in Chang'an City, but these two did not appear for a long time.
The Li family in the front yard was busy in the dark, and she didn't have time to pay attention to whether Nalan Yanqin showed up, she knew that her daughter loved to be in the limelight, and she must still be dressing up, so even if Nalan Yanqin didn't appear at this time, it was normal, and Nalan Wuyu, who was sent out of Chang'an overnight, naturally would not appear.
At this time, the crowd didn't know who said it first,
"Have you heard that Hua Zixuan of Linglong Theater has disappeared?" As soon as these words came out, sure enough, the ears of all the ladies and ladies were like receivers, and they pricked up their ears to listen, as if they would miss some wonderful drama if they didn't listen.
Suddenly, the scene was a little quiet, and then someone asked,
"Really? He committed suicide for Nalan Wuyu before, how could he say that he disappeared when he disappeared? "It's not loud or small, just for the people around you to hear.
"Didn't you find out today, and Nalan Wuyu is not there? You say, will it be like the one sung in the play..."The noble girl didn't dare to say the latter words, but everyone understands, after all, this is Nalan Mansion, and you still have to pay attention to proportions when you speak.
But Nalan Xunchun is a fuel-efficient lamp, she doesn't think it's a big deal, for fear that others will say good things about Nalan Wuyu, so she takes this opportunity to damage Nalan Wuyu.
"Speaking of my second sister, in the end, she is from the countryside, and it is normal to be able to see a drama like Hua Zixuan, she is not a young lady who grew up in Nalan Mansion, and if she is wrong in words and deeds, it is also the poor teaching of the Yuan family, don't compare her with us real nobles!" Nalan Suru on the side pulled Nalan Xunchun by the hand, lowered his voice and kindly dissuaded,
"Fourth sister, I know you don't like the second sister, but after all, she is also her father's daughter, so damaging her in public is also directly discrediting our Nalan Mansion, if you really don't like her, you can hurt her in private for a few words!" Nalan Xunchun shook off her hand,
"When did the third sister stand on Nalan Wuyu's side, could it be that she forgot her identity, and also, you are a young lady from a concubine, so you naturally like to get together with people from such small places." Nalan Suru frowned,
"Fourth sister, you know I don't mean that..."Nalan Xunchun lowered his voice and sneered,
"Don't blame the younger sister for not reminding you, if your mother knows that you eat inside and out, I'm afraid your life as the third lady of Nalan Mansion will not be so good in the future!" Seeing this, Yao's family, who was not far away, frowned, hurriedly walked over and pulled Nalan Suru aside, and apologized to Nalan Xunchun in a friendly manner.
Nalan Fanghua quietly moved behind Nalan Suru, pulled her sleeve, and whispered a little timidly,
"The third sister is also thinking about Nalan Mansion, but the fourth sister has always been domineering, you let her go!" Nalan Suru sighed,
"I just meant it for the good of our Nalan Mansion, who called us concubines, our status is there, and what we say is far less important than that of the eldest sister and the fourth sister, and now even the identity of the second sister is not comparable to us."
"The third sister is kind, one day, they will understand your hard work." Nalan Fanghua comforted.
As the two were talking, the door suddenly became lively, and many people crowded up, as if some important guests had come.
Li was flattered,
"Mother, sister, it's just Qin'er's little courtesy, why did you all alarm you?"
"Qin'er was raised by me since I was a child, and her courtesy, I naturally want to come as a grandmother." It was Mrs. Taiwei who spoke, Mrs. Yipin of the imperial court, and the biological mother of the Li family, Huang.
Huang is more than fifty years old, a rich face, graceful and luxurious, full of pearls and emerald and suitable clothing is very commensurate with her identity, because Huang's rheumatoid legs are a little heavy, so she is not yet over sixty years old with a precious rosewood cane, and there are exquisite ornaments hanging on it, this rosewood cane, or the queen for filial piety, found a fine craftsman to carve carefully on the rod for several months, before giving it to his grandmother.
Standing next to the Huang family is the Duchess of Huaiguo, as soon as these two appeared at the same time, they attracted the ladies and ladies to come forward to please and condole, Nalan Mansion is really a big family, the status is prominent, even the lady of Taiwei, who rarely shows up, came, it seems that they did not come in vain.
You know, last time, Mrs. Taiwei pushed the queen's chrysanthemum banquet on the grounds of physical discomfort. The appearance of the Huang family undoubtedly gave Nalan Mansion great glory, and even Nalan Guangyao personally went up to help her, and greeted her with a mother-in-law.
After a while, two more carriages came from the gate of Nalan Mansion, and it was the county lord of Qingyi and Miss Liu San who came down.
At this time, Nalan Guangyao and the Li family only cared about going in, the Huang family and the Duchess of the country, anyway, the noble ladies and nobles who came were almost the same, so they simply handed over the reception at the door to Aunt Zhao and Aunt Yao.
The county lord of Qingyi was dressed in a lotus-colored long skirt, covered with light yarn, and two golden steps were inserted on the cloud temples, swaying slightly when he walked, very atmospheric and good-looking, quite royal style.
Miss Liu San, who came with her, wore an apricot yellow small trailing long skirt, draped in a colorful butterfly embroidered veil, and from under her delicate sideburns, an emerald green gem fell between her forehead, like a hibiscus out of the water.
The nobles not far away were stunned when they saw these two people, when did the county lord of Qingyi and Miss Liu San also make friends with Nalan Mansion, this Nalan Yanqin's ceremony, Mrs. Taiwei and Mrs. Guogong came normally, after all, they are related to Nalan Mansion, but this Qingyi County Lord and Liu Feiyan, who have never liked this occasion, actually came, it is incredible!
Seeing this, Aunt Zhao hurriedly greeted her, others thought she was the county lord and Miss Liu San, but when Aunt Zhao approached, she only whispered a word to the county lord of Qingyi,
"The county lord and Miss Liu San are here to watch the play, no matter what happens later, the second miss means to let the county lord and Miss Liu San watch it, don't interfere, so as not to get into trouble, remember!" The county lord of Qingyi frowned at the moment, and when she was about to ask something, Aunt Zhao smiled and made a gesture of please.
Just as everyone's mood had just calmed down, another explosive figure appeared. There was another carriage at the gate of Nalan Mansion, and on the lantern of the carriage, there was a big word written on it.
Immediately after the gold-trimmed curtain was lifted, first Mu Baizhuo, who was dressed in moon-white brocade, jumped down from the carriage, and then surrounded by several maids, a graceful and luxurious lady slowly got down from the carriage, the lady looked good, although she was in her thirties, but still natural in appearance, as bright as the autumn moon, the lady was wearing a floating satin blue dress, wearing a long gown of the same color, the neckline and cuffs were woven with intricate patterns with gold threads, when she came down, the crowd did not know who screamed,
"Princess Dongjun Wang!"
