Chapter 303: November of this year
The next day is the Holy Birthday Day - the Queen Mother is actually not in the mood to celebrate this birthday this year, but Emperor Xianjia privately persuaded her: "The days of the child to be filial to his mother are numbered, please let the child be filial to you again!" ”
In a word, the Queen Mother was extremely sad, although she agreed to celebrate as usual, but when she appeared on this day, she revealed a strong smile and laughter.
Everyone doesn't know the inside story, but it's not surprising: the queen mother's favored youngest daughter, the princess acting as the eldest princess, sees that the good days are numbered, can the queen mother not be sad?
However, on the day of the Holy Birthday Day, although the Queen Mother deliberately called Wei Yinlian and Su Shaoling, the two daughters-in-law of the prospective Ji family, to the front and asked for warmth for a while, and made enough gestures to support the acting princess, but the most worried was Princess Changxing: "I haven't seen you for a few days, how can Changxing lose weight like this?" ”
Princess Changxing has indeed lost weight significantly, and her expression is no longer as high as before, revealing sadness in her loneliness.
This will be asked by the grandmother, although the demeanor is dignified, the corners of the eyes are slightly red: "Grandmother Lao asked, the granddaughter accidentally contracted the wind cold before, and she took some medicine, but it has been fine recently, but the imperial grandmother is worried!" ”
The Queen Mother had already heard about the matter between her and Jian Yiyu in private, and naturally brought it up deliberately at this moment: "I see! The mourning family is thinking, the mourning family's Changxing is the most lively, laughing and noisy, why is he so silent today? ”
He told her to take care of herself, and instructed her to pack up the nourishing things that the emperor had honored herself, and after the banquet was over, let Princess Changxing take it back to eat, "Don't take your body seriously because you are young and ignorant, when you reach the age of the mourning family, you will know the importance of this body!" ”
Although he didn't say a word about Jian Yiyou, everyone understood that the Queen Mother was beating Jian Yiyou euphemistically, and she had to be kind to her wife in the future.
Then there was nothing else to say - after the dinner in the evening, Song Yixiao asked about her brother's apprenticeship, Jian Xubai stretched out his finger and scratched the tip of her nose, and said with a smile: "I will go out for my husband personally, so what is there to worry about?" ”
"He Lou Xiu agreed?" Song Yi smiled and said, "But I don't know when it will be convenient for him to ask Yun'er to come to visit?" ”
"My brother-in-law is only five years old this year, didn't he say that he will officially enter school next year?" Jian Xubai said, "I told He Lou that after the spring of next year, I will worship the teacher again - now it is only two months before the New Year, and let the brother-in-law have a good time!" ”
But this is just a wishful thinking - after Wei Mengying received the news of her daughter, she was happy, but immediately called her son to him, and said bitterly: "For the sake of my mother, your sister and brother-in-law can be regarded as a help, and I introduced you to the champion Lang He Lou of Jinke to repair!" Your prospective teacher is full of talent and wealth, which is not comparable to ordinary Jinshi, and it is a great blessing for you to have him as a teacher! Is it that you must not slack off, do you hear? ”
Lu Guanyun has been told by his mother for the past year, and the previous eccentricity has subsided a lot, and when he heard the words, he copied his hand weakly and said: "I heard it!" ”
"From now on, paint red ten more times a day!" Wei Mengying said again, "Your prospective teacher hasn't seen you yet, and he is willing to accept apprentices, just thinking about the face of your sister and brother-in-law." It's just that with his identity, why don't you worry about having a talented disciple to ask for advice in the future? Not to mention that he is still unmarried and has his own children in the future, if you don't behave well, why should he spend his time on you? ”
- In this way, Lu Guanyun's homework is a little heavier than before, but because the Yanguo Mansion has not much contact with the Hengshan Palace, Song Yixiao and his wife have no idea.
Of course, even if they knew, at most they could help persuade two sentences, if Wei Mengying made up her mind to be a strict mother, it would be impossible for them to forcibly interfere with other people's mothers and sons.
But a few days after this incident, Wei Wangfu - no, this will be King Xiang, news came from Xiangwang Mansion that Princess Xiang was about to give birth!
At the beginning, Princess Xiang was only one step later than Princess Liang to spread the news of pregnancy, as the biological daughter of the acting princess, she did not suffer a loss during the entire period of raising the baby, and the birth went smoothly.
From the start to the landing of the child, it was only less than an hour, and it was rare for the first child to go so smoothly.
It's just that Princess Xiang failed to get a man in one fell swoop, but gave birth to a white, tender and lovely girl.
If the battle for the prince is not over, the Xiangwang couple and the acting princess will definitely be a little disappointed. After all, what could be more morale-boosting than someone to succeed you?
But now that King Xiang has been defeated, it is the eldest daughter who was born at this time instead of the eldest son, which is a good thing for the entire Xiangwang Mansion.
The palace obviously thought the same way - the rewards sent by the Queen Mother and Emperor Xianjia were exactly the same as when Princess Liang gave birth to a child before, and they did not lower their specifications at all because King Xiang and his wife only had a daughter.
Not only that, a few days later, when the Queen Mother chatted with Emperor Xianjia, on a whim, she also asked the emperor to name this great-granddaughter, and the emperor gave the name of the eldest son of King Liang for fairness: the eldest son of King Liang and his wife followed the king of Zhongling County, from the word "Cheng", the name of King Zhongling County was Chengguang, and this cousin proposed the word "Cheng Gui".
And the name of the lord of Xiangwang is Qianman.
This incident was followed by the emperor's Halloween, and the emperor was just struggling now, and he didn't want to toss, but he was afraid that the queen mother would be sad, so he thought about it and did it as usual.
Less than ten days after the Wanshou Festival, it was the wedding date of Su Shaoling and Ji Zifu.
This was originally said in the first half of the year, and at that time, Ji Mingfei had not yet decided on a marriage, and the two kings of Wei and Zhao were anxious for the alliance, so they did not wait for him in the order of brothers.
Therefore, Wei Yinlian wants to leave the cabinet, but he has to wait until next year - where the lintel of Ji Wei's two families is placed, this family matter is due to political considerations, and it is impossible to be hasty.
However, her marriage with Ji Mingfei was a matchmaker made by the emperor himself, and the quasi-concubine relationship with Su Shaoling was also a certainty, so she didn't need to prepare for the door, but she also had to go to Su's house on the scene to lay a good foundation for the two to get along in the future.
After all, after Ruiyutang and Fufeng Hall are both the six valves in the sea, their ancestors have a deep ancestry.
On this day, Wei Yinlian brought a few pieces of needlework made by herself, boarded the car and went to the Jiguo Mansion - passing by the Yanguo Mansion on the way, she subconsciously lifted the curtain to take a look, but just saw the subordinate pushing open the Zhu Gate, as if welcoming guests.
The guest was sitting in a carriage, and when he saw that the door was open, he didn't come down, but he drove straight in, and at a glance he could see that it was a lady.
"That carriage looks at the eyes, it doesn't look like it is from the imperial capital, is there a distant guest in the Yanguo Mansion?" Wei Yinlian saw it in his eyes and was secretly surprised, "Isn't it Mrs. Jian who has returned to her parents' house?" However, Mrs. Jian is the aunt of the Duke of Yanguo, if she returns to the imperial capital, it will be the Duke of Yan and his wife who will go to visit, how could she come to the Duke of Guo's mansion? ”
The Mrs. Jane she said refers to Jian Pingyu's original eldest daughter, Jian Lizhi, who has not returned to the imperial capital for decades since she left the cabinet and released with her husband.
Before Jian Xubai and Song Yixiao got married, this aunt only sent her eldest son Ji Wangxi to congratulate her, not in person.
Therefore, although Wei Yinlian pulled the distant relatives and daughters of the Yanguo Mansion, thinking that there should be no one else except Jian Lizhi's room, she didn't believe that it was Jian Lizhi - the carriage gradually moved away, and the Yanguo Mansion was left behind, and she was about to lose sight, she muttered to herself: "Strange, who is it?" ”
No wonder she couldn't guess.
Because Song Yixiao, who received the greeting post the day before, was also very surprised: Gu Shao's own granddaughter rushed to the imperial capital in a hurry, but she only served in front of her grandfather for a short time, and then offered to visit her.
She speculated that it should have something to do with Qiu Zhiyin, but didn't the crown princess already send someone over to talk about it?
In this case, Gu Tongxu took such a trip again, as if he didn't believe Song Yixiao.
Song Yi smiled suspiciously and welcomed this rare guest to the back hall to sit down, the next person presented tea, and after the main guest politely greeted him for a while, Song Yi smiled to the end of his body heavily, not more than usual, unwilling to waste Chenguang in vain, and asked the other party euphemistically: "I heard that Miss Gu only arrived yesterday, Hongzhou and the imperial capital are thousands of miles away, Miss Gu must have worked hard all the way?" ”
You've just finished your journey, shouldn't you hurry up and rest and recover, so that the Queen Mother can behave well when she summons her nieces and granddaughters-in-law? This will come to me, just say anything quickly!
Gu Tongxu heard her urging and couldn't help but smile.
When Gu Shaozhishi returned to his hometown with his family, the girl had not yet been born.
And Song Yixiao has never seen other girls in the Gu family, so she is not sure whether Gu Tongxu can afford Gu Shao's boast of "the most virtuous lady among the granddaughters under her knees".
But just looking at it like this, this Miss Gu is really not bad: her skin is fair, her appearance is beautiful, and her plain dress compared to girls of the same age does not make people feel shabby or lonely, but only feels elegant and dusty.
Between the eyebrows, it seems to be soaked in the gentleness of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, and there is a vigorous gentleness and water spirit.
When he laughed, he was like a willow shaken in spring, delicate but innocent: "On the way, I heard that Mrs. Song is pregnant now, so I didn't dare to disturb rashly." It's just that my grandfather said that it was about to come to Layue, and Mrs. Song presided over the first house, and then until the beginning of next year, only one day was busier and busier, and there was no one who could be idle. If you want to visit, you can only visit as soon as possible, so I take the liberty to come, and I invite you Haihan! ”
Song Yi smiled and hurriedly said: "Miss Gu's words are too unusual-as you can see, I will not be able to move around with my body in my arms, and I feel bored in the house, but it happens that you are here!" ”
The two exchanged a few more polite words, and Gu Tongxu said that he came on the orders of his grandfather, specifically to recognize the door and take a picture with Song Yixiao.
As for why Gu Shao did this, she didn't know much.
However, Song Yixiao had a bottom in his heart: "It seems that Gu still doesn't trust me!" ”
Otherwise, why let the granddaughter who had just traveled thousands of miles come to worship the mountain gate in such a hurry?
Aren't you afraid that when you calculate Qiu Zhiyin, you will also pull Gu Tongxu into it?
