Chapter 228: Touching Porcelain
An oolong started so hastily and ended hastily, and within a few days, the holy decree in the palace came down, and the princess of southern Xinjiang married into the Shangshu family of the Criminal Department. became the daughter-in-law of the Dong family. Dong Biquan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, has three sons, the first two of whom have already married, leaving such a young son. The eldest son was admitted to fame, and the second son was accepted by the shadow official, leaving only one third, who was not as good as the eldest brother in his studies, and did not rank second in the ranking.
Because it was a state wedding, the palace specially held a banquet, and the emperor was the officiant, so all the officials and wives of the imperial court went to participate in the meeting and met the personal scene.
Dong Xiaobang, the youngest son of the Dong family, was named the Marquis of Guan Nei by the emperor because of "sacrificing his life for the country", although it was only a false position, but it was also the supreme glory of the Dong family.
"Master Dong, congratulations." is also an official in the court, and Du Xuanmo's congratulations should also be said.
Dong Biquan smiled bitterly and said: "This is also thanks to Master Du's recommendation, otherwise where would this 'good thing' get to our family?" "The character of the princess of southern Xinjiang can be regarded as a courtier, and I heard that she openly fought with Du Xuanmo's wife, such a woman marries into the family, and the Dong family is estimated to be lively for a while.
Du Xuanmo smiled lightly, and then said: "Your Excellency is polite, the emperor is just the third son!" ”
Dong Biquan also knew that he couldn't complain about Du Xuanmo, and from how many people chose the emperor's son, he could only say that he was fated.
The palace banquet was held in the imperial garden, Shen Shiliu and Du Niangzi came early, and after sitting down according to their positions, they looked at the families of other families.
The Liang family's family members arrived, came over and said a few words, now the Liang family is a quasi-in-law, and no one will say anything if they show closeness in public.
Everyone gradually sat down, and Shen Shiliu smiled when he saw the familiar face. When the banquet was about to begin, Du Xuanmo sat back.
"Why did you come?" Shen Shiliu asked.
"I came to organize today's banquet, and it was not my turn to do it, the emperor originally wanted to hand it over to Taichang Temple to take over, but this morning Taichang Temple suddenly came to an emergency, and no one here came to take over, so the emperor asked me to do it." Du Xuanmo said that Taichang Siqing is not young, and he handed over the old man's fold a year ago, but the emperor has not dealt with it, so he made such a fuss.
Shen Shiliu nodded, and then continued to participate in the banquet honestly.
During the wedding ceremony, Shen Pomegranate was also a bystander, although the food in the palace was not very delicious, but the fruits were good, many rare fruits could not be found on the market, they were all palace tributes, and they could be eaten during the palace banquet.
"I can't leave after the palace banquet for a while, and I have to deal with the end, so you can just take your mother back first." Du Xuanmo said.
"I see." Shen Pomegranate responded.
The two were chatting about the princess of southern Xinjiang and Dong Xiaobang came over to salute, and Du Xuanmo said at this time: "Nod your head for a while, don't let Princess Daya target you." ”
Shen Shimei, this is the first time I have heard the name of the princess of Southern Xinjiang, the name is good, but the temperament is too wild donkey!
Because it is married to the Central Plains, the wedding ceremony is also held in accordance with the customs of the Central Plains. Because he was thankful in front of the emperor, he wore a phoenix crown with a gold chain to cover his face, and did not wear a red hijab.
Shen Shiliu took a look, it was indeed the tiger girl she met in the southern Xinjiang market that day, although she was wearing the clothes of the Central Plains, but the wildness on her body seemed to be there.
After the ceremony was held, the bride and groom took their seats, and Shen Shimei sat in a more conspicuous position because he followed Du Xuanmo, and as soon as Princess Nadaya sat down, she happened to see Shen Shimei.
Shen Shiliu hurriedly bowed his head, this is the palace, Princess Nadaya, don't be a tiger, and she will make trouble in the palace.
Du Xuanmo looked at Shen Shimei and lowered his head sharply, and smiled: "It's not so low, it's good that your eyes are not right." "It's the same as bowing your head and admitting your mistakes, and you have no confidence.
When Shen Shiliu heard this, he quickly raised his head again, and then looked directly at the seat of the Liang family, raised his glass and toasted Mrs. Liang, and directly ignored Princess Daya.
Du Xuanmo looked at Shen Pomegranate's appearance, and reminded: "I said, you should drink less wine, Princess Bedaya didn't make trouble, you yourself are crazy with alcohol!" ”
Shen Shiliu smiled bitterly and sighed that women really can't drink, especially in front of men, this person is really lost
Shen pomegranate wine can't be drunk, he has a cold stomach after eating too much fruit, and the food is not delicious, so he can only chat with Du Xuanmo in the end.
Du Niangzi sat for a while, feeling a pain in her back, so Shen Shiliu got up and walked around the imperial garden.
"The things in this palace are good, but you don't have the taste of what you do!" Du Niangzi and Shen Shiliu walked to the side and chatted in a place where there were few people.
Du Niangzi is old now, and although her food is light, it is also cooked by Shen Pomegranate, and the taste is absolutely moderate. Although the ingredients in the palace are good, they don't feel fragrant no matter how you eat them.
Shen Shiliu said with a smile: "Any delicacies from the mountains and seas are not as fragrant as your own home-cooked food." "It's almost the same to eat a few meals in a restaurant outside, but only your own home-cooked meals can be eaten for a lifetime.
Du Niangzi smiled: "What you said is reasonable! Mother has always felt that she is old in the past few years, when Xuanmo became an official, I think that I can finally live a good life, and I don't have to calculate and calculate when I eat, I want to eat what I want, but this idea has been weak in the past two years, I used to have coarse tea and light rice, but I have peace of mind, and now Xuanmo is a big official in the imperial court, but there are difficulties at both ends in three days, and I am worried. ”
Shen Shiliu knew that Du Niangzi's mood was changing, sometimes "desire" and "age" were proportional, and she would think more when she was young and strong, but when she was older, many things would be downplayed, and her desire would become shallow.
"Xianggong will be fine, I believe Xianggong, for the sake of this family, Xianggong will be fine!" Shen Shiliu comforted Du Niangzi.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were chatting here, and someone suddenly patted Shen Pomegranate behind.
Shen Shiliu turned around and saw Princess Daya dressed in red, and Daya was still looking at Shen Shimei with a servile face at this time.
"Princess?" Shen Shiliu is a little sad, on this happy day, Daya also came to her on purpose, what is it to find fault with her?
"Do you know I'm a princess?" Princess Daya asked.
Shen Shiliu nodded: "Well, I know." Congratulations to the princess, and I am happy to mention Ruyi Langjun! ”
Du Niangzi almost couldn't hold back her laughter, tugged at the corner of Shen Shimei's clothes, and said, "We've been out for a while, it's time to go back." ”
"Well, let's go." Shen Shiliu nodded, and Du Niangzi wanted to go back to the banquet first.
"Wait, Princess Ben has something to ask you!" Princess Daya stopped the person directly.
Shen Shimei protected Du Niangzi behind her, and the princess jumped up and down, don't touch the old man again.
Du Niangzi was a little anxious, this princess was not a good stubble at first glance, so she pulled Shen Pomegranate, afraid that the princess would rush in a while and hurt Shen Pomegranate.
"Mother, it's okay, you're right behind me." Shen Shiliu appeased Du Niangzi, and then asked Princess Daya: "I don't know what the princess wants to ask?" ”
Princess Daya asked, "What is your relationship with that Du Xuanmo?" ”
Shen Shiliu raised his eyebrows, then smiled, and said, "I thought the princess was going to ask something, that's it!" Du Xuanmo is my father-in-law! "She sometimes finds that she is not kind either, so let's make the excitement more violent!
When Princess Daya heard this, she was so angry that her brows furrowed, she had said that she had fallen in love with Du Xuanmo in front of the Manchu Dynasty in the court, but she didn't expect to be married to someone else by the emperor in the end! When she saw Shen Shimei at the banquet just now, she recognized at a glance that Shen Shimei was the person who slapped her at the market that day, and she was already angry in her heart, but Shen Shimei and the people she liked were talking and laughing together, and she was even more angry
Du Niangzi saw Shen Pomegranate talking like this, isn't this obviously provoking people, so she pulled the corner of Shen Pomegranate's clothes and asked Shen Pomegranate to stop "dying", this is someone's wedding, if you really want to fight, because of the national marriage, it will definitely be Shen Pomegranate who will suffer in the end.
Shen Shiliu winked at Du Niangzi, of course she knew that she would suffer if something happened, but she was worried about Princess Daya's covetousness of her husband, looking at Daya's appearance today, she must not be ready to be good, even if she hid, Daya would chase her out, she had been targeted, and it was not easy to be soft!
Du Niangzi didn't understand what Shen Pomegranate meant, and then she saw that Na Daya came over to push Shen Pomegranate.
Shen Pomegranate found a good opportunity, and as soon as he carried it, the person fell to the ground.
"Pomegranate?" Du Niangzi was startled by Shen Pomegranate's sudden "fainting", and Daya was also frightened, although she wanted to push Shen Pomegranate just now, but before her hand touched anyone, Shen Pomegranate fell, she didn't do anything!
Shen Shimei winked at Du Niangzi, Du Niangzi was stunned for a moment, and then understood that Shen Shimei was pretending.
There was a passerby nearby, and as soon as I saw this, the situation became lively.
"Don't play dead, I didn't touch you!" Princess Daya was in a hurry, and the people around her pointed at her, saying that she had knocked people unconscious, and this black pot was called a porcelain back.
Although Shen Shiliu was lying down and pretending to be dizzy, she couldn't help laughing, this Princess Daya is estimated to be pampered in their southern Xinjiang, and the custom in southern Xinjiang is monogamy between men and women, there is no fight between the eldest wife and the younger wife and the concubine, and this Daya princess has no crooked eyes. Although her trick is not authentic, since Daya wants to pretend to be forced, she must have two brushes, and it is nothing if she abuses Princess Daya so much now!
There was a commotion here, and it soon attracted the attention of the banquet, and even the emperor and the ladies were alarmed!
As soon as Du Xuanmo came over, he saw Shen Shimei lying on the ground "unconscious", and his face turned black all of a sudden.
"What's going on?" Du Xuanmo hurriedly picked up Shen Shimei.
Du Niangzi pointed to Princess Daya and said: "We came out to breathe, just about to go back, this princess came over......" Du Niangzi is not very good at lying, so she only said half of the words, but because she only said half of it, the big guys all wondered that it was Princess Daya who embarrassed Shen Pomegranate.
"I heard that this Princess Daya and Mrs. Du had a big fight in the bazaar, I thought it was Princess Daya who suffered a loss, but now I look at it, it is this Mrs. Du who suffers, no wonder no one pursued it before, it is not Lord Du who is tolerant of a lot, this matter has to make a fuss!" Some ladies said next to them that the fastest spreading news in Kyoto City is the circle of female dependents, and there is everything to gossip. Now that he said this, Shen Shimei became a victim, and Du Xuanmo also had a reputation for being tolerant and generous.
Shen Pomegranate felt that he was about to burst out laughing, he had broken his work!
