First Marriage (II) (II)

"Now in spring, there is a lot of pollen catkins outside, and it is easy to itch and rashes, if you are ready to go out, first apply the paste from this red ribbon jar and then put on other fat powder. In the evening, just apply the cream in the yellow ribbon. Wan Ning said.

Mama Huang, who is in charge of the Queen Mother's daily life, has only been transferred in the past few years, and she didn't know about Lady Zhou and her abilities back then, but looking at the attitude of the Queen Mother and Zuo Qing, she also knew that this master could not be offended. But Mama Huang was married to the palace from Jiangnan with Chen Musco, and later the Queen Mother gave her a marriage to a guard of the Chen family, and followed her husband to handle private affairs for the Queen Mother outside the palace for many years, and only entered the palace as an errand a few years ago. Because he has a different relationship with the Queen Mother, he doesn't look down on the female relatives who come to see him outside. This female official Zhou has not made her feel special so far, it is nothing more than an orphan girl who was taken in by the Queen Mother in the past, this woman has not looked at her from the moment she entered the door, and she has not given her special respect, she is a little uncomfortable. At this time, I had to come over and take the things, and interjected: "Miss Zhou is really a careful person. The old slave who is filial to you will hand it over to the palace maid who manages the queen mother's grooming and put it into storage later. ”

Wan Ning didn't speak, just smiled slightly.

Chen Mural frowned slightly when he heard this: "Where is this thing used in storage." It's just a freshly prepared product. Bring it to me first. ”

Mama Huang had no choice but to bring it to Chen Mural. The Empress Dowager Chen mural didn't need anyone else to do it, she directly opened the jar with the red ribbon by herself, picked a little bit with the small spoon inside and rubbed it slowly. The light fragrance immediately wafted out: "Sandalwood oil here?" ”

Wanning smiled and replied yes.

"That's good stuff. The main palace is prone to itching in spring, and this thing is symptomatic. ”

I tried the yellow ribbon again, and I distinguished it: "Orange blossom is also added here?" Also added safflower? Add some safflower, help the blood, raise it overnight at night, and the next morning the blood will be good. ”

"Yes, your old man's ability to distinguish medicine is still so good."

"You're going to fool my wife. These mourners like it very much. Keep them all on your dresser and use them every day. When you run out, you can give the mourning family system again. ”

"Good!"

"But the raw materials of these things are expensive, in the past, when you were in the palace, you always went to the Tai Hospital to get medicine, and you didn't have to pay money from the old woman, but what now? I don't have any money, how can I be good? ”

"Ning'er honors you, and doesn't ask for reward. If you really want to be rewarded, it's good to enjoy a few carts of gold. ”

"The old woman's gold has been divided among her grandchildren, what should I do? Why don't we want that kid from the Tang family, which grandson of the mourning family to marry, and let them give you the gold? ”

A few people were talking and laughing, but they heard that the queen mother was coming. Wan Ning frowned and glanced at the Queen Mother. Usually, the Queen Mother annoys these people, so she stipulates that except for the fifteenth day of the new year, there is no need for juniors to come to greet them on other days, and only come when there is something. It's not too late, it's not very common.

As soon as the queen came in, she praised the incense in Chunhui Palace for its good smell.

Chen Mural smiled faintly: "The mourning family's face is easy to itch in spring, and the mourning family doesn't like the things sent by the hospital, Ning'er knows the preferences of the mourning family, and specially asked her to prepare some and send them." Mama Huang, go and show it to the queen. ”

The queen took a look at it and sneered in her heart, the woman of the Zhou family is indeed a good person, and she has enveloped the queen mother and Yiyi very well in the palace, and she has only been back for a few days, and she has found the love of the queen mother and the prince again. Fortunately, Yixiang gave her a sword back then, if such a person has been following her son, where will she still have the position of the queen mother in this harem in the future. But on the surface, I still have to deal with it: "Miss Zhou is really ingenious." The third young master of the Tang family is really blessed. ”

"Thank you for the compliment."

Chen mural looked at the queen and smiled, The Lan family is actually not bad in the harem, but sometimes he is more careful. She said to Zuo Qing: "Manager Zuo, go and fetch fifty taels of gold for Wanning." Girl, this is a deposit given by the old woman, remember to match the incense of this season in my palace. Then give the old woman three jars of the same grease paste that applied her hands before. A jar of mourning is kept. The queen likes it, send a can to the queen. The other can is for the old lady of the Chen family. The mourning family knows that your dispensing is a good thing, if you don't have enough money, ask your wife for it. Don't lose your book, cry yourself. ”

"Okay." Wan Ning didn't say much, just replied with a smile.

"Thank you for the mother's reward." The queen also pretended to be happy.

The Queen Mother asked again: "The affairs of the queen's six palaces every day are complicated, how can she have time to walk around today?" ”

The queen lowered her eyebrows and replied: "The Duke of Hengguo has entered Beijing, and the daughter-in-law is thinking about whether to set up a palace banquet to entertain the princess and the daughter of Hengguo." ”

The emperor is seriously ill and has little chance of recovery. At this time, Heng Guogong entered Beijing, which is very interesting. The Hengguo Mansion not only has the hereditary title given by Gaozu, but also has the privilege of directly playing the heavenly hearing, and has the military power of Hedong Province to guard Linyang, and the children of the Shen family also have the ability to receive the imperial merchant card, doing the imperial merchant business of Kanto coal entering Beijing and entering the palace. Usually, the Shen family guards Hedong, never asks much about the government and politics, and does some imperial business in a decent manner. For many years, even the suspicious emperor did not have much suspicion and concern about the Shen family. At this time, he brought his wife and eldest daughter into Beijing, and it seemed that the conditions offered by the queen and the Lan family were accepted.

The Queen Mother looked at the queen and smiled, and only spoke after a while: "This is the matter of ushering in the send-off, and the queen will decide." If she needed the help of her wife, the queen said, If the queen can make her own decision, she can arrange it herself. ”

The queen was displeased, but she didn't dare to show it, so she continued to say gently: "This eldest daughter of Lord Shen's family, when she was a child, her daughter-in-law met her a few times, and a few years ago, when the queen mother was still summoned, she said that Miss Yaru was very smart, she liked it very much, and rewarded her with a lot of things, this time Yaru also came, and the queen mother will be very happy to see it." ”

The Queen Mother still smiled peacefully: "Oh, that girl, I don't know how it happened if I haven't seen her for a few years?" ”

The queen hurriedly said, "It should be good." At that time, Mrs. Shen was a well-known talented woman in the capital, and she was taught by Mrs. Zuo by word and deed, and the daughter she taught must not be bad. "The Zuo Taifu was once the emperor's enlightenment teacher, and he was also a great Confucian of the Beijing generation. Shen's wife, Zuo, is the only daughter of Zuo Taifu.

The Queen Mother didn't seem to understand the queen's words, but her face was full of Qi: "Back then, Mrs. Zuo was full of peach and plums. Although it is only the emperor's enlightenment teacher, the emperor has always been very grateful. It's a pity that God was jealous of the talent and died early in middle age. The sons of the Zuo family are also very angry, but it is a pity that the former mourning family heard that Zuo Mingxuan seems to be not in good health, and he has some symptoms of hemoptysis, I don't know if he is better. ”

At that time, Mrs. Zuo also died of hemoptysis when she was less than forty years old, and the Queen Mother mentioned Zuo Mingxuan at this time, this is Mrs. Zuo's brother-in-law, and the Queen Mother always talks about him left and right, what does it mean. It is impossible for the old woman to not understand the meaning of her previous words after so many years in the palace. Her Lan family fell in love with Shen Yaru from the Zuo family, not only with the Hengguo Mansion as the backstage, but also the power of several brothers of the Zuo family in the court in the six departments. Although the military power of the Shen family is not as strong as that of the Tang family's army, it is also very important to guard Hedong, and it is self-contained in Hedong, and Linyang is under the control of the Shen family from military affairs to government affairs. But although the queen was impatient, she had to pretend: "Yes, the daughter-in-law also heard about it. However, yesterday Heng Guogong entered Beijing, and Lord Zuo went outside the city to greet him, thinking that it was already good. Otherwise, although this season has already entered spring, sometimes the wind is still cold. Zuo-sama will not be ignorant of the severity. Our secretary is also well-read and self-versacing. ”

Zuo Mingxuan is the secretary of the palace history museum, and controls the historians and chronicles of the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty, as well as the compilation of local chronicles. To sit in this position, of course, he is erudite and talented, and Zuo Mingxuan has indeed studied medical skills. Speaking of medical skills, the queen thought about the Chen family's way of attracting people's hearts. Almost all the people in the Tai Hospital are controlled by the Chen family's forces, and even the Zhou Wanning in front of him is said to be a medical skill, or a descendant of the Zhou family. In terms of medical skills, the Zhou family and the Chen family are known as the Jiangnan double masters, and they are impressive. The Queen Mother took Yiyi away from her back then, saying that she didn't understand medical skills and was afraid that she wouldn't be able to take the child well, and later asked Zhou Wanning to follow her to the South Study, just because Zhou was proficient in pharmacology, why was she so stupid to believe it, she believed in this old woman back then, and now she is making her son and herself centrifuge.

Chen mural said lightly: "Hopefully, Zuo Mingxuan is a great talent, and he is really a great addition to the position of the secretary." ”

"Mrs. Zuo's descendants were all good, and we have also seen Mrs. Zuo's talent back then. It is said that this granddaughter is also very good. She went to Kyoto the first two times to get along with Jing'an, and just now Jing'an had already come to ask her to go out of the palace to find Shen Yaru to play. The Queen Mother knows Jing'an, if she wants to like someone, this person must have something extraordinary. ”

The Queen Mother nodded slowly: "Jing'an has also grown up, and he has to learn these ways of life." The mourning family felt that she went to Kansai and came back more sensible. "How can the Queen Mother not know that the queen arranged for Jing'an to go, but she doesn't want to care too much, this daughter-in-law, if she wants to toss, let her go. always thought that she had the ability to guide the country like her Chen mural, so she asked her to try, but it didn't work out if she had too much control. Only when she hit the south wall and learned a lesson, maybe she understood, otherwise she thought that the Great Zhou Dynasty would be so easy to bring to this prosperous scene. Since she decided that Shen Yaru was her daughter-in-law, she followed her. At least she knew that the Shen family would not follow the Lan family to make a fool, so she simply made her happy again: "Since Zuo Mingxuan is in good health, let's just let him take the Zuo family and the Shen family into the palace to give a banquet." It's just that the emperor's dragon body is not safe, and it should not be too lively, so it is better for the queen to pick some suitable people, let Yiyi and a few of them also come, and enter the palace to hold a small spring flower banquet, which can also be regarded as a pick-up for Heng Guogong. ”
