Chapter 54: Welcome to the Man
The main hall of Fengyi Palace, the dormitory of Empress Wen.
Benzoin is burning in the hall, and its taste is elegant, and it can calm people's hearts.
Wen Yuan walked quickly to the inner hall and bowed to Empress Wen who was standing behind the pear blossom case.
Queen Wen is holding her sleeves to learn calligraphy, and her pen is walking around the dragon, with a leisurely posture.
Wen Yuan didn't rush to reply, and stood quietly to the side and waited.
After a while, Empress Wen stopped.
Wen Yuan hurriedly stepped forward, took the pen in Queen Wen's hand, and put it into the white jade pen wash.
Then, he turned around and took a clean cloth towel and wiped her hands for Queen Wen.
After everything was cleaned up, I heard Queen Wen ask: "Wen Kite, how did you write the word "Bengong" today?" ”
Wen Yuan held the cloth towel and replied with a smile: "Isn't Niangniang embarrassed by the slave maid, how can the slave and maid judge the quality of the words you wrote?" If you ask the slave maid, the slave will know that your words are good, but if you have to ask the slave and maid what a good opinion she has, the slave and maid are afraid that they will really not be able to say the truth. ”
Queen Wen listened to Wen Yuan's words, and she was not angry, but smiled and said: "If you don't grow, you practice calligraphy with the palace every day, why haven't you opened up yet!" ”
Wen Yuan pretended to sigh, "Who said no, slaves and maids are stupid, so the mother doesn't dislike them, and she still leaves the slaves and maids to serve by her side." ”
Empress Wen chuckled, nodded Wen Kite's forehead, and asked, "Say, Concubine Rong sent someone, what's the matter." ”
Seeing that Queen Wen was asking about business, Wen Yuan hurriedly put away her joke and replied seriously.
Empress Wen listened to Wen Yuan's words, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Gu family?" But the second miss of the Gu family that the prince mentioned a few days ago? ”
"Exactly." Wen Kite head.
Empress Wen raised her willow eyebrows and said, "Since the prince mentioned it, then you can send a message to Zhaoyang Palace later, saying that this palace cares about Concubine Rong's body and allows it." ”
"Yes, sissy." Wen Kite is blessed with a good body.
......
An hour later, Wen Yuan took people to Zhaoyang Palace, conveyed Empress Wen's will, and left.
Soon after she left, Liu Chengshui hurried out of the palace, took Concubine Rong's waist card and post, and went to Yongning Hou Gu's house.
When the old lady of the Gu family, Xu Shi, and the others received the news of someone from the palace, they were really stunned for a moment.
It was the housekeeper Gu Xinhai who reminded that the person was about to arrive, and Xu and the others reacted.
Concubine Rong was favored, and the old man of the Wang family was his son's top boss, and the Xu family didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly called Gu Xinhai to wait at the gate, and he beckoned a few daughters-in-law and went out to greet guests.
Several daughters-in-law of the Gu family, except for the merchants in the third room, and the other two rooms are still from official families, so they all understand why the Xu family attaches so much importance to the people around Concubine Rong.
The people in this palace came out, and they were also divided into three, six, nine and so on.
To put it bluntly, the status is to follow the master who serves.
Concubine Rong has been gaining momentum in recent years, and the Wang family is not small, and such a family is exactly what the Gu family needs to woo.
But Concubine Rong has never had much contact with their family, so how could she suddenly send someone over today?
Thinking of this, Xu's heart suddenly struck, and the joy that came to his head with excitement for a while also faded a little.
But she also understands that the actions of nobles are not something they can control.
Whether it's a blessing or a curse, when someone comes, they will all know.
So, Xu didn't think much about it, and took a few daughters-in-law to the front hall to welcome guests.
After all, the Gu family is the Hou Mansion, and it is in Kyoto, there are still decent rules, although Liu Chengshui came suddenly, and many things are in a hurry to prepare and everything is not complete, but it is enough to welcome Liu Chengshui.
Liu Chengshui is also a wonderful person, accustomed to seeing the wind and rudder.
knew that his master was more or less begging this time, so his attitude was very respectful and gave the Xu family enough face.
The Xu family has also seen big scenes in the past, and they go to the palace banquet every year, but now that the Gu family is in decline, their status is not as good as before, so in terms of treatment, it is naturally not too good.
The Xu family has not heard such flattery from the people in the palace for a long time, how can they not be happy in their hearts?
This happiness makes people talk better, so in the face of Liu Chengshui's "request", Xu Shi didn't say a word, and responded.
Liu Chengshui saw that Xu agreed happily, and secretly said that this old lady was interesting, and even flattered him a few more words.
Xu Shi was happy to hear it and satisfied, and finally personally sent the person outside the Hanging Flower Gate, and then asked Gu Xinhai to send Liu Chengshui away.
As soon as Liu Chengshui left, Xu pinched the bronzing post in his hand, and the jasper waist card, and went to Yushengju.
Seeing this, even though he was angry in a thousand ways, he had to grit his teeth and follow.
The Shen family and the Song family naturally did not miss this kind of excitement, so they both followed behind the Xu family and went to Yusheng Ju together.
Yusheng was inside, and as soon as An Sheng heard Qinghui report about the front hall, Xu and the others entered the courtyard with a lively foot.
Zheng's mother and others saluted in the courtyard, and their voices were loud and crisp.
Xu was happy, and everyone felt pleasing to the eye.
waved his hand, called everyone up, and asked Zheng's mother again, "Is the second lady better?" ”
Mother Zheng lowered her eyebrows and replied respectfully: "Back to the old lady, the second lady can already get up and sit today." ”
As soon as Xu Shi heard this, his eyebrows and eyes immediately relaxed, and he shouted three times to say hello, and then walked to the main room.
An Sheng pinched the time, and just at the moment when Xu stepped into the inner room, he let Qinghui sit up.
"The granddaughter has seen her grandmother, she has seen her mother, her second aunt, her third aunt......"
An Sheng's An just invited half of it, and was helped by Xu to straighten his waist.
Xu smiled very kindly, took An Sheng's hand and looked up and down a few times, no matter how he looked at it, he felt very satisfied.
An Sheng seemed to be stared at by the Xu family uncomfortably, lowered his head with a gloomy face, and said: "An Sheng is not filial, it should have been An Sheng who went to ask the elders for peace, how dare you drive the elders to come to see An Sheng." ”
"It's okay!" Xu took An Sheng's hand and sat on the small stool next to the bed, "Grandmother's good grandson, listen to Mother Zheng, are you in good health?" This is a great thing, grandmother recites sutras and prays to the Buddha every day, just hoping that your body will get better soon! ”
When An Sheng heard this, he raised his head in flattery, and his eyes flashed with admiration.
"It turned out that the grandmother was praying for her granddaughter, and it was strange that the granddaughter felt that she was getting better lately! Thank you grandmother for your care and protection! ”
Xu smiled and said, "You are a good grandson of your grandmother, and your grandmother should work hard for you." ”
An Sheng said in his heart, here it is!
Xu no longer cares about it in a pretense way, and he wants to get to the point.
Sure enough, the next moment, Xu squinted his eyes and laughed again, and then told Concubine Rong about inviting her into the palace to see her illness.
When An Sheng heard this, he made a frightened and inexplicable look, and waved his hand again and again to say that he couldn't do it.
Her childish appearance fell into the eyes of everyone, but her reactions were mixed.
