Fifty-three: Zhong Mingding's canteen and mansion

"On the order of Chen Niangniang, the slave maid sent the best Ming Qian tea in Nagato to the emperor to taste."

In the Changmen Palace, Cheng Lie knelt in the Xuanshu Hall and kowtowed.

"Oh, Mingzen tea." Liu Che joked with the name and said, "This name is good." ”

"This tea is said to be made by picking the most tender tea core before the Qingming Festival. The most is the color is green, the bud peak is exposed, and the soup color is bright. It is called before the Ming Dynasty. ”

"Yang is proud," Liu Che smiled and commanded, "Let's try this Mingqian tea." ”

"Yes." Yang bowed proudly and stepped forward to get it.

"Father-in-law Yang remembers, my mother said," Cheng Lie bowed his head, "to boil baked tea, it is best to use spring water, the fire is boiling rapidly, it is advisable to boil and bubble just now, and it is good to brew water seven points full." Drink in no time. ”

"You're quite clever, aren't you?" Liu Che couldn't help but look at him more.

"It was Chen Niangniang who sent slaves and maids to the Xuanshu Hall to deliver tea."

Soon, the tea has been delivered. Liu Che picked up the tea cup, and saw that the tea soup in the cup was light and blue, clear and bright, the leaves were small and tender green, evenly formed into flowers, the buds and buds were erect, lifelike, the aroma was high and long-lasting, fragrant and fragrant, and I couldn't help but praise the good words.

Cheng Lie said, "Niangniang also instructed the slaves and maids to ask the emperor for the decree that on the birthday of the eldest princess of the Pavilion on the tenth day of the next month, Niangniang hopes to take the two highnesses to the Tangyi Marquis Mansion to congratulate her birthday and show her filial piety." ”

"Oh?" Liu Che paused, and slowly sank his eyes and said, "Filial piety is the first of all kinds, and Queen Chen can take this as a thought, I am comforted, is there any reason to be inaccurate?" ”

The entrance of the tea before the Ming Dynasty is really sweet and mellow, and the fragrance between the teeth. Liu Che was in no mood to taste tea, put down the teacup, and said lightly, "You go down first." ”

"Yes." Cheng Lie respectfully prayed.

************************************

The tenth day of October in the sixth winter of Yuan Shuo, it is the 60th birthday of the eldest princess of Guantao, the eldest princess of the three dynasties, can be described as the crown of Jinghua, although it has experienced the blow of her daughter Gillian being abolished, but Liu Chenian has made meritorious contributions to the throne in that year, and has become more and more kind to the Tangyi Marquis. Therefore, although the eldest princess of Guantao is far less influential than before, she is still a figure that cannot be ignored in the capital. On the birthday day, there is even more traffic in front of the waiting house, and there are many guests.

"Have all the guests arrived?" In front of the Tangyi Marquis's Mansion, the current Tangyi Marquis Chen Yue's younger brother walked out and asked,

"Second young master, it's six or seven out of ten." Chen Lang bowed.

At this time, a carriage came from the corner of the street, and the two horses pulling the carriage were all snow-white, only the hooves were a little black, and the majestic horses were abnormal, and they stopped in front of the Tangyi Marquis's Mansion without raising a little dust. The carriage was inlaid with emblems on both sides, but it was a court model.

"Yes." Chen Shang was overjoyed and ordered, "Open the door of the mansion." ”

The carriage drove straight into the inner courtyard and did not stop until it reached the inner courtyard. Chen Shang stepped forward and said, "Welcome Niangniang back home." ”

In the car, Chen Ajiao answered in a low voice. After the two children and Liu Ling got out of the car, they held a paper lamp and lifted the curtain. Yanran smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for many years, how is the third brother?" ”

The children of the Tangyi Marquis Mansion ranked, and Chen Shang was the third. At this time, he looked at the woman who got out of the car, and his heart was confused. Although it is not from the same mother, Chen Shang still knows about this only young lady of the Chen family. Too much pampering is used to Gillian's arrogant and willful temper, even in front of the emperor, she will not let half of it. As a result, Nagato's end was not an accident in his opinion. But can seven years really change a person to such an extent? The woman in front of her, although there is arrogance hidden between her eyebrows, the whole person is soft, as clear as the autumn chrysanthemum that opens under the corridor.

"Hmm." Reminded by Chen Lang's cough, Chen Shang came back to his senses and said busily, "The eldest princess has been waiting for a long time. Hurry up and get in. ”

After a hundred years of wealth precipitation, Tangyi Houfu is naturally a magnificent and luxurious. Not inferior to any of the waiting houses in the capital.

Chen Ajiao lowered her head and said with a smile, "I haven't given a birthday gift yet, so why should I be embarrassed to go in?" ”

"Niangniang said that it was funny, as long as Niangniang came, it would be the best birthday gift for the eldest princess." Chen Shanghan said with a smile, "What's more, if the mother doesn't go in, how can she give a birthday gift?" ”

"My birthday gift is to be given outside." Chen Ajiao smiled slightly and held out the palace lamp in her hand. Only then did Chen Shang see that the hollow lamp was made of the best kraft paper in Xilan Pavilion, covered with bamboo strips, and the paper was inscribed with nearly 100 different longevity characters with a small brush. The mind is unique, and it is also extremely rare.

"Ling'er, fold the fire to me."

Chen Shang watched her hold the palace lantern, walked down the courtyard, lit it in the open space, and gently let go. Then, under his stunned gaze, the lamp rose by the wind. It was autumn, the sky was high and crisp, and the westerly wind was blowing, flying all the way towards the inner courtyard.

"What's that?" Someone in the inner courtyard soon noticed and asked.

The delicate palace lanterns float in the air, and the bright firelight reflects the word Shou on the outer wall more and more clearly. Slowly drift with the wind in the distance.

"It's nothing, it's Jiaojiao's mother's love for her daughter for many years, and she can't repay it, so she deliberately spent half a month making a palace lamp and mentioning a hundred longevity words, praying for a long life and a hundred years old." Chen Ajiao smiled and stepped in.

"Why bother with these things." Liu Yan walked over with a smile, took her hand, and said with pity, "The eye circles are heavy, you can come, it's already good." ”

Everyone in the mansion looked at the palace lanterns flying higher and higher with admiration, and a noble lady who was usually friendly with the eldest princess of the pavilion Tao got up and said with a smile, "This birthday gift is really chic, and Chen Niangniang's filial piety is commendable." It's just that the concubine's body is unknown, how did this lamp fly? ”

"This lamp is called a sky lantern." Chen Ajiao replied with a light smile.

"Legend has it that as long as the person who burns the lantern prays in good faith, the lantern will fly to the hands of the emperor and realize a wish of the lantern burner." Feiyue eldest princess Liu Ling explained to everyone with a smile, came to the eldest princess of Guantao, and bent her knees slightly, "Feiyue wishes the eldest princess happiness like the East China Sea, and longevity is better than Nanshan." ”

"Thank you, Princess Feiyue." Liu replied politely. looked at her granddaughter Liu Chu, who was holding Gillian's clothes, and Liu Mo beside her, her expression was soft, and she said, "Mo'er, Chu'er, come to grandma." ”

"Grandma," Liu Chu let go with a smile and threw himself into her arms.

"Jiaojiao," Liu Concubine smiled and held the hands of her two grandsons, and said with emotion, "I'm also this age now." I just hope that you, Mo'er Chu'er, and your brother can always be by my side, and I will feel at ease. Well, and Yan'er. She looked back at her son Dong Yan who was standing behind her and smiled comfortingly.

"Mother," Chen Ajiao's heart was moved, and she snuggled up to Liu Xuan, although she knew that this noble woman who had gone through the three dynasties of Wenjingwu and Wu could not stop the desire for power in her bones. At this moment, I was still moved by her sincere maternal love. She remembered that many years ago, when Gillian put on a phoenix crown, came out of the Tangyi Marquis Mansion, and got on the palace car to welcome her relatives, Liu Concubine smiled at her face. I also remembered that in another time and space, when the sound of geese dreamed back many times at midnight, the mother sitting at the head of the bed looked at her with a sad sigh.

Many times the wild goose wants to ask my mother, is it worth thinking about the man who has already left you aside?

However, before she could do so, her mother had already left her.

At that time, she swore to herself in her heart that she would not be a woman in this life, and she would not be a person who hid in a golden house.

The world turned upside down, but fate sent her here to be the daughter of Liu Concubine again. Liu Concubine hopes that she will take up the burden of the family's prosperity and stay by the side of the man who created a beautiful fairy tale in history, but destroyed it with her own hands.

If you are a woman in this life, you will not be a person who hides a beautiful house in a golden house.

History is like dust, who still remembers that the four words of Jinwu Zangjiao were originally a man's oath to his wife.

Chen Ajiao sat in the cloud building where she lived for a long time before entering the palace, listening to the staggered scenery outside the courtyard, the autumn courtyard was very shady, the sun was shining obliquely, and there were large pots of juhua flowers blooming under the window.

"Judang eats crabs, but unfortunately, there is no custom of boiling crabs at this time." Liu Ling lay down scatteredly.

"I want to eat crabs." Chen Ajiao poured wine and said, "Make it yourself." Are you still waiting for someone to bring it to you? ”

She reclined in a chair made of a new man, her long hair loose and her expression languid. "It's better to be here, at least for the time being, don't worry about being calculated and put on a shelf."

When she said this, she didn't know that even such a small extravagant hope could not be realized on this day.

The eldest princess of the pavilion Tao sat in the hall and greeted the guests with a smile. Suddenly, seeing Chen Lang approaching quickly, his expression was a little hasty, and he said unhappily, "What's wrong?" ”

"Eldest Princess," Chen Lang's face was a little strange, and he said softly, "The emperor is here, and he has just entered the mansion." ”

"What?" Concubine Liu stood up, immediately calmed down, and said to the guests with a smile, "Everyone, use it slowly, I'll go first." He glanced at Chen Lang, left the table quickly, and entered the Hou Mansion and entered, and sure enough, he saw the emperor standing on the corridor in the mansion under the smug of Ma Heluo, the head of the guard, and Yang the former head of the imperial palace.

"Auntie," Liu Che turned back with a smile and said, "Auntie is celebrating her birthday today, and Che'er came over to ask for a glass of wine." Auntie won't be unflattering, right? ”

"How so?" Concubine Liu said with a smile, "The emperor is willing to appreciate his face, and my aunt is very honored." She turned around and ordered, "Come on, pick out the Yuanxiang Pavilion, set up another table of banquets, and call the Hou Ye and several young masters." ”

"Che'er has also been to the Hou Mansion before, so she naturally knows," Liu Concubine turned around and looked at Liu Che, and said meaningfully, "Yuanxiang Pavilion is the highest place in the Tangyi Hou Mansion, and it is strange to say that since the beginning of the year when Er stayed in the mansion for one night, the juju flowers in the Tang Yi Hou Mansion have bloomed particularly well this year." Looking at the past from the Yuanxiang Pavilion, it is best to enjoy the juju flowers. ”

Liu Che smiled and said, "In this way, there will be Aunt Lao." ”
