Article 1307
The Qinglin Marquis Mansion is relatively low-key, there are not many heirs in the mansion, and there are few concubines or anything, which can be regarded as the least family in Kyoto City, and it can be regarded as meeting the requirements of Arlinn's cousin to choose a mate.
The family members are simple, but not to be underestimated, the reason why the Qinglin Hou Mansion got its name is because since the ancestors have been in charge of the timber industry and afforestation in Tianyang Kingdom, and many of the family industries are mostly dealing with the timber industry.
At present, the official in the family who is serving in the household department, Cousin Arlinn happens to be married to Mu Huaien, the sister-in-law of the long house, and she has a good life, and she planned to see it a few years ago, but later said that the fetus is unstable, and she has not seen any guests to the outside world.
Qingyi just thought of this, and remembered that this trip was to attend a banquet, so she quickly put away her thoughts and stepped into the banquet hall with Shen Xin.
"The crown princess has arrived! Princess Pingyuan has arrived! ”
It just so happened that Qingyi and Shen Xin had just entered, and the room was full of warblers and Yanyan, Shen Xin frowned slightly unconsciously, and Qingyi almost went out in one step on her back legs, this taste is so choking.
However, more people came to greet Shen Xin, and knelt on the ground one by one: "Say hello to the crown princess, the crown princess is blessed with gold!" ”
Shen Xin said heartily: "Flat." ”
Many women secretly looked at Shen Xin, dressed in a bright red phoenix robe, the enchanting phoenix meandered up along the clothes, solemn and beautiful, and the slightly heroic expression made many people respectful, and the posture of a phoenix was not bad at all.
Many women who stared at the position of the prince's side concubine were a little disappointed, they didn't expect the princess to have such a prominent family background, although she was the daughter of Jiangmen, but the beauty of this combination of heroism and beauty discouraged many people, and it was not easy to mess with Shen Xin when she saw her.
I heard that after being married for a while, the prince favored the princess alone, and everyone else's room didn't remember where the door was? If they come in, are they sure to fight with the crown princess?
Those wives who have been married for a few years are worried about their sisters or sisters-in-law, of course they want to marry for the sake of the family, but what should they do if they look at such a crown princess?
The older lords and mothers of the mansions have different expressions, and it is difficult to say what will happen to such a crown princess even if their daughter enters the prince's mansion in the future!
The faces of all the daughters, the faces of some ladies, and the faces of those housewives, Shen Xin and Qingyi all saw it, and they understood all kinds of calculations.
Shen Xin said: "This is the first banquet of this spring, this palace is here to wish all the ladies and young ladies can make their dreams come true, this palace of the mother concubine queen mother and the noble concubine mother and the queen mother will come in a while, forget to give a position to be cautious!" ”
Shen Xin's words are clear to everyone, some housewives are a little disappointed because they can't enter the prince's mansion, but some people feel that the princess has already said this, that is, to give them another signal.
There are many good masters in Tianyang Kingdom, even if it is the prince, there is a young and handsome King Pingyuan, as well as the prince of the Zhenguo Mansion, the prince of the Longwei General's Mansion, and the prince of the Pingyao Palace, how good the young masters are waiting for them to choose.
The hall was lively for a while, but the corners of Shen Xin's mouth drifted coldly, just such a superficial woman still expects the prince and a few masters to take a fancy to it, it's not Shen Xin, I look down on you, it's just a fantasy.
Qingyi was much more relieved to see this meeting, it seems that Shen Xin already knows how to protect his effective rights and interests, this is a good start, although he doesn't take the initiative to bully others, but he won't let people hold it at will, right?
However, more and more light was put into Qingyi's place, and Qingyi returned to the past one by one, at this time, Qingyi saw Ma Wan'er, the sister-in-law of the Yasukuni Mansion, and it happened that Ma also saw herself, and Qingyi finally saw an acquaintance and was very happy.
It seems that the sister-in-law has been doing well in the past few years, Qingyi remembered that when the family first came to Kyoto, the Ma family gave birth to a boy, and in a blink of an eye, the child should be five or six years old.
Ma Shi walked over happily, looked at Qingyi's voice and smile, as if they had only met yesterday, and said cordially: "You girl, you have been in Kyoto for so long, and you can't talk about it for a long time, but the old lady often talks about you."
At this time, the eunuch said:
"The Queen Mother has arrived!"
"The Queen Mother has arrived!"
"The gorgeous concubine has arrived!"
Immediately after that, the three heavyweight mothers can be regarded as debuting, and everyone quickly knelt on the ground Chitose Chitose Chitose, Wanfu Jin'an and other Yunyun, and it took a long time to finish tossing.
Qingyi despised this etiquette of who knelt down in her heart, and before she finished slandering, she heard Hua Guifei's goosebumps falling to the ground.
Then the majestic voice of the Queen Mother sounded above: "Flat, take a seat, this is Daughter's Day, don't stick to these red tape, the mourning family likes to see these beautiful girls' homes, just look at the mourning family is happy." ”
Qingyi strongly protested against this old witch, it's really shameless Everyone knelt down and ran over to pretend to be a good person, regardless of etiquette, what is that?
Hua Guifei said delicately on the side: "It's still the queen's vision, there are a lot of fresh faces on this year's Daughter's Day, and their parents hide these children on weekdays, and we can see them today." ”
The Queen Mother bowed slightly, expressing her agreement with Concubine Hua's words, and the hostesses of all the mansions also echoed one after another, and the banquet hall was very lively for a while.
Only Qingyi and her sister-in-law Ma sat on the side, Ma didn't like this kind of banquet, so it was better to watch her husband and son write a few big characters when they had this time.
Because of the original Aunt Cui, who injured her husband's body, that is, the body of Jiang Yaozu, the concubine of the Yasukuni Mansion, although she has recovered a little now, she is not in serious trouble, but she usually pays attention to it, and those aunts have driven everything away.
Now only their family of three is living happily in the house, the old lady is healthy, the elders are loved, the brothers are kind, the slaves and maids are more obedient, and the house is happy and harmonious.
Thinking of these Ma Shi looked at Qingyi with grateful eyes, all of which were thanks to Qingyi for the blessings she brought and the good luck that they brought to their family.
Qingyi smiled sweetly, and in an instant, the feeling of a hundred flowers blooming made Ma dizzy, and then he found that Qingyi had really grown up, and it was different from before.
Then the two of them didn't speak, listening to the Queen Mother and Concubine Hua casually nagging, the Queen Mother said: "Fenghua, the mourning family looks at a few faces this year, whose daughter is this." ”
Hua Guifei hurriedly patted her ass and said: "The queen mother's eyes are really good, these children are all children who are just about to be married and have already been married this year, there are Sun Tianmei of Lord Sun's family, as well as Meng Jinzhu of Changyun Hou's Mansion, Meng Yinzhu and Meng Baozhu, this delicate little girl is Gai Fang of the Ministry of Works, and the one who is particularly happy to smile is Dong Yanhua of Master Dong's family. ”
The daughters who called their names all stood up and saluted, because this banquet was a little anxious, and the banquet with the prince's mansion did not say that the whole city would scatter invitations, so there were only so many here today.
The Queen Mother smiled and said: "Okay, well, they are all the age of flowers, and they are all smart, and they will be rewarded." ”
This scene seems to be ready, a palace maid comes out with a tray, and the eldest grandmother next to the queen mother, Ai Mama, sends the reward down, and each person has a purse.
These women are quite sensible, and they didn't take it out directly at this time, and Mama Ai was very happy because of their intellectual interest, and she was a little more flattering when she looked at the Queen Mother.
"Courtiers thank the Empress Dowager for reward." The ladies lined up and thanked for the reward.
Because there are not many male guests this time, and they are all received by the prince in the outer courtyard, these ladies who accompanied their daughters were naturally very happy when they saw that their daughters could get the eyes of the queen mother.
In particular, Meng Jinzhu and Sun Tianmei were also praised by the Queen Mother, who said: "Knowing that you two are talented women, don't forget to write a subword and draw a picture for the mourning family for a while, and the mourning family will touch the light of your young people." ”
The two women thanked each other with great grace, and then wrote on the table on the side, which naturally made many people even more angry.
Qingyi watched that the Queen Mother had not grown much, and she still liked such a means of divisiveness, I don't know how many years this has been played, and what was left over early?
Sure enough, people are old and old, and they are useless.
Soon after a while, Meng Jinzhu's big characters were written, the Queen Mother saw that it was a big spring character, the pen was steady and not out of place at all, the words were like people, the Queen Mother was very pleased and said: "It's really a good word, write the heart of the mourning family, do you know why?" ”
Meng Jinzhu said with a delicate smile: "Back to the Queen Mother, the courtiers wrote this spring word because, spring began to recover everything, I hope this year is a good year for a bumper harvest, the courtiers heard their father say that the four seasons of the year are in spring, and I also hope that the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother and the Huagui Concubine will be young forever and have a long life." ”
The Queen Mother said: "It's really a good handwriting, this little mouth is also a person who can speak, coax the mourning family so happy, and reward a set of four treasures of the white marble study." ”
Meng Jinzhu showed a big face, and immediately knelt on the ground and said happily: "The courtiers thank the Queen Mother for the reward, the courtiers dare not ask for such a valuable object." ”
Hua Guifei said: "You kid is clever, this palace knows, you are saying that this palace didn't give you a gift, right, come to reward, my sister won't be so stingy." ”
The queen said dignifiedly: "This kid looks at the palace and likes it, and someone comes to reward him." ”
Meng Jinzhu had three gifts, and he was so happy that he could only kowtow and say thank you and the like.
Qingyi looked at the woman of the He family and didn't know what kind of fame to play, and raised a down-and-out Hou Mansion to such a height, the key is that Qingyi didn't see what was so good about this word?
can only be said to be decent, there is nothing outstanding, in fact, Meng Jinzhu's writing is quite good, but Qingyi's skills have already been perfected under the supervision of several elders.
That's why I saw that Meng Jinzhu's words were not very good.
Of course, there are still a few people who can be compared with Qingyi after all, it's not that Meng Jinzhu received so many gifts and retreated, naturally she was happy enough, Meng Yinzhu and Meng Mingzhu were inferior even if they were jealous, there was no way, and the other daughters who didn't show their talents were even more depressed.
This will be the grandson Tianmei's spring flowers also painted, when showing to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother said: "This child looks smart, this painting is also very spiritual, you see how beautiful this yellow and tender spring flowers are, beautiful to the heart of the mourning family." ”
Sun Tianmei was naturally not far behind and said: "Thank you for the praise of the Queen Mother, the courtiers hope that the spring flowers will give all women in the world good luck and youth, and the fragrant breath and the will not to be cold are also models for women to learn." ”
The Queen Mother said happily: "Okay, worthy of being a newly talented girl, Lord Sun is also really, hiding this child is strict enough, you and Jinzhu will go to the palace to accompany the mourning family another day, but now the mourning family wants to reward you, come and give Miss Sun a set of white jade study room four treasures and new dyes in the palace, I hope you can have better paintings for this child in the future." ”
"Courtiers, thank you for the queen mother's reward, the four treasures of the white jade study are too valuable, and the queen mother will love any courtiers like jewels."
Maybe it's Sun Tianmei's indifferent appearance that makes everyone feel that she is really a talented woman, only Qingyi can see the calculation in her eyes clearly, this girl is not simple.
The Queen Mother laughed when she heard this: "This child's mouth is sweeter than Jin Zhu, it's okay to give you anything from the mourning family, you just take it, so let's go to the palace to talk to the mourning family." ”
"It is a blessing for the courtiers to be able to serve the queen mother, thank you to the queen mother." Sun Tianmei was rewarded, and the same queen and Concubine Hua gave the reward, walked up to Meng Jinzhu and paused, seeing the unwillingness in Meng Jinzhu's eyes.
Sun Tianmei still sat sweetly and obediently beside her mother, so that the repertoire that showed off the limelight was over.
Qingyi watched Shen Xin sitting in front of the queen, impatience flashed in her eyes, not only her, but also the queen listened to the sound of goosebumps when Concubine Hua and the queen mother spoke, and unconsciously stroked her arm.
But I'm also thinking about these two women, the two good women brought out this time, are they for their sons?
The queen remembered the prince's face, in fact, the queen really hoped that the prince could be in harmony with the crown princess, there were too many women, but the queen wanted to prepare for her son.
These two girls, one is the eldest daughter of the family of Lord Sun, who has been raised in the ancestral house, and the family moved over after Lord Sun took office as Shangshu, and has been in Jiangsu and Zhejiang before.
It is not uncommon for the Queen Mother's family to win over the household, but although Meng Jinzhu of the Changyun Marquis Mansion is famous, there is no need for the Queen Mother and Concubine Hua to put so much thought into it.
Soon the queen hid these problems, no matter what her mind was, she couldn't destroy her son's happiness, nor could she shake her son's foundation, otherwise don't blame her for being ruthless.
The queen is a royal blue queen's palace dress today, the phoenix depiction on it is particularly dazzling, and the red gold flying phoenix on the head, it looks simple and atmospheric, but it is actually expensive, especially the extravagance that seeps out of the bones is not comparable to a masked person like Hua Guifei.
But this time the Hua Guifei is a little overstepping, the clothes on her body are basically close to red, but on top is a peacock that has been blooming, the character of Hua Guifei is not like a peacock, she has opened the screen when she sees everyone, and she has never realized that she is making trouble.
On the contrary, the Queen Mother changed her previous high profile, and the brown palace clothes made the Queen Mother look more than ten years old, and the age spots on her face had begun to grow.
No matter how you puff the powder, it can't be covered, so the Queen Mother is not hiding her age, and it is not necessarily whether to reassure the emperor.
After the performance of this lively drama of recommending newcomers, the Queen Mother looked around and saw a different kind of light flashing in Qingyi's eyes.
However, the Queen Mother did not face it directly as before, but when she looked at the second prince, Princess Qingjun, she had a new thought.
The Queen Mother said: "Ao Rong is also here today, your child is filial piety, I told you that I am six months pregnant, don't come out and walk around, your child just doesn't listen, come and let the mourning family see." ”
