"The princess said, why should a man be so good-looking?" Yinhua refuted, Yue Niang smiled: "She is not as good-looking as anyone else, of course she said that Yinhua glanced at Yue Niang, but laughed, Yue Niang is not wrong, their prince is indeed better looking than the princess." ()
Li Tian and the five princes, men and women, each divided their things, and were busy until after the third watch, drank Tusu wine, appreciated the sachets and all kinds of auspicious Pepsi bags, the women went out of the palace, and the men were led by the attendants to wash and change clothes, preparing for the first and most solemn court meeting of the New Year.
Originally, the internal and external women also wanted to congratulate the queen on New Year's Day, but when the official family ascended the throne, the throne was empty, and the rule that the internal and external women gave the queen a New Year's Day has been abandoned.
There is no need to congratulate the New Year's Day, but there is no leisure time for the whole day, Li Tian went back to the house to change his clothes, drank half a bowl of hot soup with Yingluo's hands, and hurried out, and Princess Shou Ji, Princess Han, Fan, and Princess Zhu Mingyan of Jian'an County will go to one place, and go together to greet the old ladies of Qing Xiu and the elders in the Qin clan, and they were busy until the evening, and they entered the palace together to receive the banquet, and then returned to the mansion, it was already midnight.
On the second day of the first month, I went to the Great Xiangguo Temple to incense, the third day of the first month to Nanyuan to see the horse race and the arrow, the fourth day of the first month, the spring cow to persuade the farmer is a big thing, and it is not bright until the middle of the night to be busy until the third watch, the family banquet in the fifth palace of the first month, the straight axis to the sixth day of the first month, the new year's Shangyuan Lantern Festival has begun to shine, and Li Tian can be regarded as a temporary stop from the state of the group.
As an adult prince, the fifth prince is naturally busier than Li Tian, Li Tian pauses, and he still goes out early and returns late. ā
Li Tian received the New Year's congratulations from the servants in the house, sent auspicious seals, and hurriedly returned to the main courtyard to find Shui Qiuniang.
Shui Qiu Niang seemed to have been waiting for Li Tian to find her for a long time, guarding the red clay stove to boil the water, first brewed a cup of tea and pushed it to Li Tian, ordered a cup of tea herself, and slowly stirred it with a silver spoon, while talking about the past in a calm voice: "After I am a criminal official, I can't remember whether I was four or five years old, my home was copied, I became an official slave, and when I was six years old, the official family became a family and opened a house, and I was assigned to the hidden mansion as a slave."
Li Tian took a sip of tea, quietly and attentively listened to Shui Qiu Niang's past, Shui Qiu Niang held the cup, looked at the pot of delicate yellow narcissus on the kang corner in a daze, paused, and the corners of her mouth oozed a little nostalgic smile: "Since I entered the diving mansion, I have never suffered again." I remember clearly, that day my grandmother washed my skin to take off, told me, if I don't learn to be smart, if no one wants me, I have to starve to death, at that time I was not far from starvation, that day, I stood in the sun with a lot of girls, that was the first time I saw Sister Mingyue, people said that Sister Yue is not good-looking, Sister Mingyue also said that she is not good-looking, but until now, I just think Sister Mingyue is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen
Li Tian looked at Shui Qiuniang in a daze, who is this Sister Mingyue? Shui Qiuniang's face was already filled with a warm smile: "That day, Sister Mingyue wore an apricot yellow silk skirt, which was elegant and beautiful, like a fairy, Sister Mingyue took me to the outer study, at that time, Sister Mingyue was the big girl in charge of the outer study, Sister Mingyue treated me very well, I was too young when my mother died, I don't remember what A-Niang looked like, I felt that the best A-Niang and the best sister in the world were not as good as Sister Mingyue."
Shui Qiuniang turned her head to look at Li Tian and smiled: "Not only do I think Sister Mingyue is good, the girl in the outer study, I didn't say that she was good, I knew in my heart that she was good, up and down in the house, no one said that she was bad, the official family had a big temper at that time, but we had Sister Mingyue in the outer study, it was funny to say, they all said that the official family had a bad temper, I served in the outer study for so many years, and then followed Sister Mingyue to the Yugui Courtyard, and then entered the palace to make a piano offering in the teaching workshop, and I never saw the official family lose his temper."
Shui Qiuniang's words stopped abruptly, as if something bad suddenly rushed up, dissipated the warm smile on her face, and looked out the window blankly......
"It's far away again," Shui Qiuniang reluctantly smiled: "I was six years old when I entered the palace to wait, Sister Mingyue was sixteen years old, I remember clearly, she was ten years older than me, we were very happy in the two years of serving in the outer study, once a Qingke played the piano across the wall to us, I was fascinated by it, I wanted to learn the piano, Sister Mingyue told the official family, the official family really invited me to learn the piano from a master who had served in the workshop, and I started to learn the piano from that time."
Li Tian blinked several times, if Yingluo told herself which little girl wanted to learn the piano, would she invite a master from the workshop to learn the piano? It doesn't seem to be. ćć
"After serving in the study for two years, Sister Mingyue was taken over by the official family and lived in Yuguiyuan, everyone called her Aunt Yao, I don't want to change my words, I still call her Sister Mingyue
"Aunt Yao? Uncle's biological mother? Li Tian couldn't help but blurt out, Shui Qiuniang nodded: "Yes, the next year, Sister Mingyue gave birth to the eldest brother, the eldest brother was born white and fat, very good-looking, the little toes are the same as the soybean grains, when the moon is full, the arms and hands are small nests, as long as they are awake, their hands and feet are not idle, they laugh when they see people, and their eyes are bent like a crescent moon when they smile, the eldest brother is asleep, and Sister Mingyue is also reluctant to put it down, and the official family also loves the eldest brother very much, after all, it is the firstborn, the eldest brother is full of moon, Once the official family carried him into the palace to show the Empress Dowager Ciren, and the Empress Dowager Ciren left her eldest brother by her side to raise her
Li Tian's heart beat wildly when she listened, and she looked at Shui Qiuniang, she found for the first time that Shui Qiuniang was far less shrewd than she imagined, Shui Qiuniang was confused with amazement: "I remember that Sister Mingyue was sick at that time, but I can't remember whether Sister Mingyue was sick first, or the eldest brother entered the palace first, Sister Mingyue was sick for a long time, and for a while, the official family came over every day, but they didn't stay overnight, and they sat until late before leaving, and later, Sister Mingyue gradually got better."
"Sister Mingyue was afraid of noise when she was sick, I didn't dare to practice the piano in the yard, and then the official family sent me to the teaching workshop to learn the piano for two years, and sent me to the queen mother's palace to serve as a marquis, in those years, the official family accepted Concubine Sun, Concubine Sun gave birth to the second master in the second year of entering the house, and the next year she was brought into Concubine Fan, and gave birth to the third master, and then it was Aunt Ye, Aunt Huang, there are more and more aunts in the house, and there are more and more brothers and sisters, the year before the official family ascended the throne, that is, the year you were born, I was already very big at that time, and I was a good palace, and I was very decent in the palace, I can often come out to visit Sister Mingyue, once I saw Sister Mingyue embroidering this thing," Shui Qiuniang took out the big red silk, and stroked it back and forth with nostalgia and sadness: "It just so happened that the official family came, I was bored, so I took it over to help Sister Mingyue embroider a few stitches, it was this leaf Shui Qiuniang pointed to the green leaf on the corner: "My needlework was taught by Sister Mingyue, and I often help her make things, just this time, Sister Mingyue was very unhappy, saying that this thing must be embroidered by her own hands, and then ...... I didn't expect to see this piece of silk, it turned out that Sister Mingyue actually embroidered it for you to make a full moon ceremony
Li Tian was stunned when he heard this, only to feel that his mind was chaotic, and he raised his hand and pressed his temples heavily, Mr. Shui entered the official mansion at the age of six, and his father was exactly one year old that year! Li Tian suddenly jumped off the kang and rushed out, the tea in Shui Qiuniang's frightened hand was spilled, and before she could react, Li Tian had already rushed out of the house and ran away, and it was only a moment of effort, Li Tian rushed in again with a slightly flattened Huanghuali box in his hand, kicked his shoes and sat on the kang, opened the box and pushed it in front of Shui Qiuniang, and said with anticipation: "Mr. Shui, look at this, see if you recognize this."
Shui Qiuniang took out the Fang Duan inkstone from the box, looked at it carefully, looked at it again, shook her head and said: "It's Fang Hao Yan, it looks like something in the palace, this is?" Li Tian was disappointed, slowly put away the inkstone, lowered his eyes and said vaguely: "It was put together with that little bracelet, I thought it was...... She sent it together
"I said that I was a servant by the side of the official family, in fact, I had never been an errand boy, in the past few years in the Qiandi, every day in addition to playing is to learn the piano Shui Qiu Niang looked at Li Tian apologetically, Li Tian exhaled softly, took the inkstone and box, looked at Shui Qiu Niang and asked, "Yao ...... When did my mother-in-law not have it? I heard that he died of illness? ā
"Well, after this time, I went to see her two or three times, it was fine at that time, after the Buddha Bathing Festival, I heard that she was sick, I rushed over to see it, the official family was also there that day, I waited for most of the day, the official family did not leave, I had to rush back to the palace, and then I passed several times, watching her is getting better day by day, who knows that not long after the Chongyang Festival, her illness suddenly became serious, and I didn't wait for me to find another opportunity to see her, I said that she was without Shui Qiuniang's voice and couldn't go on, Li Tian counted the days in his heart, Aunt Yao's illness, It seems to be almost at the same time as the tragedy of the Yongguo Mansion.
"How did Granny Yao get to the official's side? What is her origin? Who else is in the mother's family? Li Tian couldn't comfort Shui Qiuniang, and asked a little anxiously.
"Sister Mingyue is similar to me, she has also entered the palace since she was a child, and has been serving by the side of the official family, I have never heard her talk about her family, and I have never heard of anyone else in her family, who has entered the palace since she was a child, except for the high-ranking officials' families who sent show girls into the palace, alas, those who entered the palace as high-ranking show girls were raised by various nobles as adopted daughters, how could there be slaves and maids? Sister Mingyue is probably like me, and the sin did not enter the palace, and Shui Qiuniang was very depressed.
