Chapter 70: The Fall of Eternal Blessing
"Does my cousin know where he drank the wine?" Zhuang Man sneered, "It's from a concubine he took in before!" β
Qiu Yulan was surprised: "Those people in his room ...... Didn't he send it out personally? β
Zhuang Man did not ask her husband's family to dismiss her husband's concubine before passing the door, but asked Ling Zui to personally send everyone away after getting married-the reason is that she felt: "Before getting married, it was all the meaning of the elders, he couldn't help it, and he felt reluctant in his heart, even those women, I'm afraid they also have the hope of continuing the previous edge, right?" I can't get in the door, is it hard that I still have to follow him every time he goes out? β
That Hui Qiu Lan also told her: "Since he is unwilling, isn't it just right for the elders to come forward?" That's how I can't blame you. β
"I'm not afraid that he will complain about me, I just want him to know that I can't rub sand in my eyes!" Zhuang Man insisted, "Otherwise, if the elders do evildoers, I will be a good person, he really thinks that I am a good talker, what should I do if I avoid the elders?!" β
Now when asked by Qiu Yulan, Zhuang Man's face was ugly: "It was said that the concubine made a good dish, and she didn't eat it for a while, and she couldn't help but drink a few glasses just when she passed by, and she didn't do anything...... But the door is in, even if he only uses it as a restaurant, does the concubine think so! β
Qiu Yulan looked at her angry appearance, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly: This is a special door to talk!
If someone else is going to be replaced, needless to say, Qiu Lulan must be on Zhuang Man's side to help her scold Ling Zui, maybe she will have to come up with a few bad ideas to fix him, but is Ling drunk...... Anyway, it's also his brother's best friend.,The person who has always treated himself as his own sister!
Qiu Yulan weighed it for a long time, and said stubbornly: "Brother Yi is sometimes quite confused, that year I met Guo Qingwu on the street, and was embarrassed by him, and my brother happened to meet me and relieved me - at that time, the person who was Qing Wu reported his identity, but he was stunned that he only reacted after beating people, and he was so frightened that he was about to flee to Zhuangzi outside the city to avoid the limelight on the spot!" So does he really have no intention of aside, just passing by and going to have a meal on a whim? β
Zhuang Man was not happy when he heard it: "I know it's your brother-in-law, but you can't stand on his side and talk about everything, right?" What about the friendship between the two of us? He lowered his face, "The Marquis of Jingchuan Mansion is also a high-ranking family, and my mother-in-law is still a serious eldest princess, even if she wants to eat imperial food, she can't get it!" If he really thinks that the cook in the family is not good enough, what if I take the dowry and hire a good one for him?! As for having to worry about the concubine's craftsmanship?! β
Began to grind his teeth, "Who knows if it's about craftsmanship or people?!" β
Seeing that the situation was not good, Qiu Yulan quickly changed his tone: "Brother Yi really didn't do something right in this matter!" I'll have to talk about him when I get back! β
persuaded her again, "But the righteous brother really feels sorry for the concubine, how could he send her out in the first place, right?" It can be seen that the most important thing in his heart is you, and besides, you are a serious wife who has carried through the door, a concubine or something, where is it worthy to compare with you? You have exalted them by conceding against them! β
It was so good that Zhuang Man's happiness was coaxed, and when she said goodbye, it was already evening - Jiang Yashuang came back and asked with a smile: "Man'er has been with you for a day, are you in a better mood?" β
Qiu Yulan almost vomited blood: "It's me who has been with her for a day!" β
Jiang Yashuang asked in surprise, and couldn't help crying and laughing: "I thought that the two of them had a few words, although they moved, they were also beating whether it was kissing and scolding and love, and I didn't want to pull other people in...... No wonder she came to you today! β
"Anyway, I have already promised her, invite my brother-in-law to come in two days, and ask me clearly about this matter, what does he think of that concubine?" Qiu Yulan said weakly, "I don't know how to open my mouth about this kind of thing, why don't you ask?" β
Jiang Yashuang is Zhuang Man's cousin, and it's nothing to care about her cousin, so she readily agreed, and said, "Or invite Sister Ruan to accompany you in two days?" β
"Still don't want it, who doesn't have a big or small trouble?" Qiu Yulan sighed, "I don't know who comforted who when I came-you forgot that Qi'er's health has not been very good?" β
Speaking of not being in good health, Jiang Yashuang thought of the King of Puyang who had suffered many disasters since childhood, and frowned: "Xiao Su has not been able to get up since he was ill last time, and I don't know if Chunxiao and Xiao Mu's marriage will be affected. β
Qiu Yulan had promised Empress Dowager Ye to take care of Chu Chunxiao, and she herself was very sympathetic to this niece, so she became nervous when she heard this: "It's serious? "With Xiao Su's body, it is not strange that he can't attend the wedding of his younger brother and sister-in-law - many people expected that only Concubine Chu would come out to support the wedding at the wedding.
The meaning of Jiang Yashuang's words was obviously that he was worried that Xiao Su's condition would become so serious that the Puyang Mansion would not be able to handle the wedding.
"It's hard to say, you also know that he has always been frail, and a few years ago, when the old lady Qin was still alive, he made several preparations for white-haired people to send black-haired people." Jiang Yashuang muttered, "Fortunately, I survived those few times, this time the Xiao family has invited the Tai Hospital to the palace for several days, and even the concubine is pregnant has only been passed on to the ordinary imperial doctor...... It's best if there is no danger, otherwise ......"
Qiu Yulan stroked his forehead: "I'll send someone to take a look tomorrow?" "Although Chu Chunxiao is her junior, she is the same age as her, she has both children under her knees, and this niece has not yet come out of the cabinet - if Xiao Su dies and Xiao Mu has to keep his brother's filial piety for a year, it will be another year of youth!
In case Concubine Chu can't stand the pain of losing her child, there will be three long and two short......
"What a wickedness this is!" Qiu Yulan sighed.
With something to do in her hands, she didn't have the time to worry about Xijiang - after all, she couldn't help - the next day she sent someone to go to Ling Drunk on behalf of Jiang Yashuang; send someone to visit Xiao Su again; After that, I still have to think about how to comfort Chu Chunxiao when the people who visited Xiao Su brought back all kinds of news......
followed the subordinates to send summer clothes to let her see, in view of Jiang Jinglang's secret hands back then, the things they were wearing, even if they had gone through several formalities of inspection, but Qiu Yulan still had to see it in person to rest assured.
It's easy to be busy until noon, and the people sent out in the morning come back to report the results, of course, it is not difficult to get drunk, but it may be to wait for the dark green in the eyes to fade before going out, this day is set for five or six days; The news brought back by the people who went to the Puyang Palace's palace was not optimistic: "The little one failed to meet the King of Puyang, and the concubine said that he was the prince, and he was not in good health, so he was not suitable to meet guests." β
"What does the concubine say about King Puyang's condition? In the past few days, has it improved? Still is? β
"The concubine didn't want to say more." The subordinate muttered, "The younger one originally wanted to meet the second son of Xiao, but the second son said that the second son of Xiao was not worried about others taking care of his brother, and he had been personally serving the king of Puyang in front of his sickbed, so he couldn't see it!" β
Knowing that Qiu Yulan sent him to visit for Chu Chunxiao, "The little one didn't see the preparations for a happy event in the Puyang Palace, and I don't know if they were all worried about the prince's illness." β
Broken! Qiu Yulan sighed in his heart: "It's the beginning of April, April 16 Yongfu fell, April 26 spring dawn out of the pavilion - how can the latter also be the county lord, how can the pomp of this wedding be picked up in three or five days?" Isn't Xiao Su really bad, and there is no hope of a wedding in the palace?! β
She really didn't know how to tell Chu Chunxiao about this kind of result? After thinking about it, I simply didn't mention it - there are still more than 20 days, maybe there are any new changes?
This incident made her so depressed that she almost wanted to vomit blood, but fortunately, a few days later, Jiang Yashuang talked to Ling Zui and the result was good: Ling Zui did not mean to break the thread, but: "In the end, it is the person who served me, her parents are no longer there, and she can't get along with her brother and sister-in-law. It's just that the cost is not much, the place is remote, and there are no diners to come to the door, so they invite me to have a show...... What can be done in broad daylight? β
Jiang Yashuang said euphemistically: "Since the righteous brother has a clear conscience, it is better to avoid suspicion, after all, it was the concubine of the righteous brother, and it is no wonder that the cousin misunderstood." Thinking about it, Zhuang Man didn't suffer a loss, but when he moved, he quickly slowed down his tone, "Of course, my cousin is too stubborn, and I also ask my brother to read about the relationship, don't care!" β
Ling Zui touched his eye sockets, and was depressed: "Do I dare to worry about her!" β
ββ¦β¦ Well, the next time my cousin comes over, I'll ask Lan Lan to persuade her, this woman is still gentle and obedient, okay! Jiang Yashuang couldn't help but smile and comforted - finally calmed down the matter.
followed by the descent of the eldest princess of Yongfu - as the only biological daughter of the Empress Dowager Jiang, although the northern and western frontiers are currently in flames and the treasury is tight, her descent ceremony is still carried out in accordance with the principle of how grand and how to come.
On the day of the fall, the loess mat road and the water purification sprinkled the street. The mulberry elm and other trees on the side of the street are tied with silk flowers made of brocade, and silver bells are tied to the bottom of the flowers. The breeze is everywhere, the bell rings, the sound is crisp and the sound is beautiful, colorful, the scenery and its sound are unprecedented in ancient and modern times, attracting thousands of empty alleys to watch, all intoxicated.
The princess Luan has not yet left the palace, and the special Ruilin incense has been along the road through which it has fallen, with five steps, one furnace, ten steps and one ding, and the fragrance is all over the city.
When the palace door was opened and the guard of honor came out, the green smoke from countless gilded furnaces and bronze square tripods had formed a swirling cloud. So much so that the eldest princess of Yongfu arrived at her eldest princess's mansion as if riding the clouds and fog, and the eldest princess's mansion, which longs to pave jade for the ground, cast gold for the fence, and hang the pearl for the lamp, can only be described by the words "poor and extravagant".
The eighteen human-tall coral trees listed under the hall alone are made of coral as branches, inlaid jade as leaves, pearls as flowers, carved jade as magpies, carved gold as buds, and ambergris as incense...... Lifelike and resplendent in gold, it is almost like a Yao tree Qiongmu transplanted from the legendary Immortal Mountain, and the degree of luxury is even breathtaking for Qiu Yulan, who has always boasted of his wealthβand in the Eldest Princess's Mansion, these eighteen coral trees are just one of many furnishings!
"Fourth aunt, did you empty the inner library to add makeup to Yongfu?" He Shuijin, who has presided over the industry of the Guogong Mansion for many years and has not known how many treasures he has played with in his hands, was also moved, and said to Qiu Yulan in private, "Even if it is the three halls of Taishi, Funing, and Beique, there is no such wealth!" β
"We've opened our eyes today!" Qiu Yulan smiled - the two of them glanced at each other, and tacitly did not say the hidden worry, the Jiang family is now in power, what scene have you not seen? But today, even the two granddaughters-in-law of the Jiang family were shocked, and it was hard not to think of words such as "prosperity must decline".
And the fate of Empress Dowager Jiang's mother and daughter and the Jiang family can be said to be linked, if the eldest princess of Yongfu suffers a "decline", the fate of the Jiang family can be imagined!
"But there is no turning back from the bow, and now that the situation is here, what can I do?" Thinking like this, Qiu Yulan sighed in his heart, and suddenly lost his interest, and suddenly lost any interest in this huge descending ceremony that was enough for the people who witnessed it to tell for a lifetime.
