Chapter 198: Reward
Rong Hua arrived in Yishuang's room and the two of them talked for a while, and Yishuang took out the newly made clothes and gave them to Rong Hua, "It's still the needlework learned from Chun Yao in my sister-in-law's house, sister-in-law, don't dislike it." Niu Wen Full Text (Niu Wen ~ Net)"
Rong Hua smiled and touched the embroidery pattern with his hand, his eyes lit up, "It's really good that we also embroider double," he said and paused, "It's the first time I've received such a gift." ”
Yishuang's face was a little flushed, and he and Rong Hua looked at each other and smiled.
Long Zhen's banquet was called away before Ru Mei and Ru Juan began, and the others didn't dare to sit for a long time, so everyone hurriedly went back to the house after talking for a while.
The little maid asked the mother-in-law in the kitchen to bring the food, and the mother-in-law moved slowly, and when she walked into the yard, she was still gossiping, not at all as humble as when she entered the Qian family's house, and Long Zhen didn't care, so she just lay down in the room for a while and sent someone to inquire about Ruxuan's news.
The little maid called Xin'er and quickly came back and said: "Fortunately, it was saved in time, the person is alive, and he is crying in the house, and Mrs. blames Rujuan and Rumei." ”
Long Zhen nodded, and Xin'er said again: "When the slave came back, I saw the young lady passing. ”
Long Zhen sighed, "How good is this, I wanted to call them over to be lively, but I didn't want to hurt them." ”
Xin'er said: "I don't blame my aunt, who would have thought that Ruxuan wouldn't be able to think about it, and besides, Ruxuan's matter has nothing to do with my aunt." People and people have different lives, and it is useless to ask for them. ”
The corners of Long Zhen's mouth suddenly curved.
……
Xue Chongyi gave the second wife a rose hairpin, using the best ice jade, the second wife held it in her hand and couldn't put it down, taking advantage of Rong Hua being tripped by Ruxuan's matter, the second wife walked to the side room and listened to her mother: "It's all arranged, the young lady's selection can't go beyond this range, and it has nothing to do with the wife if something happens to the appointment in the future." ”
After hearing this, the second wife still said cautiously: "You have to do it properly, don't set yourself on fire." ”
Ren's mother smiled: "It's not wrong, the young lady has been married for a while, and we all know her preferences a little, besides, how can the maids around the young lady not know it." ”
The second wife nodded, "If it weren't for the accident that happened to Ruxuan, I would be looking at where the master would have time to make such an arrangement." ”
Ren's mother smiled: "That's right." ”
Just as he was saying this, the maid outside entered the house and said, "Second wife, the old lady asks the second master to come over with you." ”
The second wife was stunned, "What's the matter?" ”
The maid said: "There is news from outside, the court has a reward, and the Hou Ye has received the order and is returning to the mansion with the inner servant." ”
Xue Chongyi faintly heard the sound of talking in the room, and asked in a loud voice, "What's going on?" ”
The second wife hurriedly instructed the maid to find clothes for the second master, and entered the house and said, "The court has a reward." ”
Xue Chongyi thought for a moment, and the whole person was swept away and drunk, "What are you still doing in a daze?" Fetch my robe. ”
The second wife took the robe from the little maid's hand and served Xue Chongyi to put it on, Xue Chongyi went to the mirror to take a look, only to see that his cheeks were red, and there seemed to be a strong smell of wine between his breaths, "Go and get strong tea for me, is there any sobering ointment." ”
The second wife said, "Yes." Then he asked the maid to fetch it, the room was busy here, and the second wife saw some clues from Xue Chongyi's nervous face, "Why is this reward so sudden?" ”
Xue Chongyi said: "What do you know, the emperor sometimes acts like this, vigorously and resolutely," paused, "This time Mingrui has made a great contribution, I just thought that the last time Su Xiyao's case was because of the chaos in the party, Mingrui was scolded, how should he be ...... this time"
looked at the rare joy on Xue Chongyi's face.
The second wife said: "What does the master mean, maybe there will be a decree to reinstate the old man?" ”
Xue Chongyi raised his eyes, "This is also a difficult thing to say. ”
The second wife smiled: "The master was originally implicated in this matter in the Ministry of Industry. Besides, the last time the Chen family came to the door, Mingrui was outside, and the family was not the master, Mingbai, and Mingwei, otherwise Mingying would not have had an accident. ”
Xue Chongyi smiled: "I hope so." ”
The more the second wife thought about it, the more she felt that it made sense, "Otherwise, if Mingrui accepted the order, how could there be an attendant following the door, what is it if it is not a decree?" ”
Xue Chongyi couldn't deny it, he hurriedly washed his face with cold water, walked to the mirror and saw that his face was still red, and he didn't know what to do, so he looked down at the balm of the second wife on the table.
The second wife also immediately remembered, "I'll help the old man cover it up with a paste, and when the time comes, the old man will kneel down and take the order and won't be able to see it if he doesn't look carefully." ”
Xue Chongyi frowned, "How can I, a man, use your women's things." ”
The second wife said: "Now there is no other way, the master will just take a moment, it is always a good day for the master, and you can't meet people like this." ”
Xue Chongyi refused to agree, but he couldn't think of any other way at this juncture, so he had to ask the second wife to help paint a layer. It was very uncomfortable to stick to the face, and the red seemed to be covered up in the mirror.
The second wife looked at it for a long time, "This seems to be much better." ”
Xue Chongyi and the second wife entered the old lady's house, and Mrs. Xue, Rong Hua, the third master, the third wife, and the fourth wife had already arrived.
The old lady wore a golden crown on her head, wore a command gown, and smiled kindly and brightly, so that Xue Chongyi and the second wife sat over.
The second wife said: "I have already asked someone to take a blanket out of the library, there is an old lady, the chamberlain will naturally come over to deliver the decree, we must be right to wait here." ”
The old lady smiled and said, "As far as you are clever, no one has arranged these things more properly than you." ”
The middle door of Xue's mansion was wide open, and all the idle people avoided it, and the outsiders were about to go to the front of the mansion, and everyone hurriedly went to the courtyard to greet them, and the inner servants went first, Xue Mingrui wore an official uniform and followed beside him, followed by the reward behind.
The chamberlain was about to read the holy decree, Xue Mingrui and the old lady took the lead in kneeling down first, the second master followed behind, and then Mrs. Xue and Rong Hua who were wearing edict uniforms, and the rest of the people knelt according to the rules, waiting for the chamberlain to read the holy decree.
The holy decree praising Xue Mingrui has been read out in the court, and the chamberlain has read it out again to everyone in the Xue family, "Wu Mu Hou Xue Mingrui has fulfilled his duties, and the people of Gyeonggi have been spared the suffering of disasters. ”
After the attendant finished reading the holy decree, the person behind presented the reward, and Xue Mingrui stepped forward to take it.
The chamberlain said again: "The emperor also has an edict to the eldest princess." Saying that, let the old lady help her up, and the chamberlain smiled and said, "The emperor said, the eldest princess does not kneel." ”
Everyone was surprised and delighted when they heard this, such an honor, the Xue family had not seen it for a long time.
The waiter said: "The imperial sister should be rewarded for raising the descendants of the Xue family to serve the country." ”
Saying that people will present things, the more they look at it, the more frightened they become, most of the rewards are porcelain, ornaments, and the last time the people of the Arrest Division entered the house to search for the lost objects, but the most that was lost before was old, but there was no such exquisiteness as the imperial gift, only a pair of plum vases from the previous dynasty were exactly the same.
Some of the discrepancies are the latter ones, but they are also the same.
Finally, there are crutches and makeup satin and ancient inkstones, which are all favorite things of the old lady on weekdays.
Xue Chongyi looked at these rewarded objects, half-raised his head, and saw that there was still a holy decree in the hand of the waiter who had not yet been read, and his heart was even more worried.
After rewarding the old lady, the waiter picked up the unread holy decree in his hand, Xue Chongyi hurriedly glanced at the waiter, but the waiter did not look at it, Xue Chongyi could only hold his breath and listen.
Unexpectedly, the waiter's mouth was a reward from the sister-in-law Liao, and finally the waiter paused, looked at Xue Chongyi, Xue Chongyi hurriedly lowered his head, "Mrs. Wu Muhou Tao, virtuous and virtuous, Shi Mi is meritorious, reward Yun Shoulder Xia Veil......" The waiter paused, looked for Mrs. Wu Muhou Tao in the crowd, and saw that her small body was almost tightly covered by Xue Chongyi, so she frowned, "Mrs. Wu Muhou stepped forward to receive the order. ”
It was Rong Hua who was ordered to come forward to receive the order, which means that it was Rong Hua who really wanted to be rewarded, but it was not good to cross Mrs. Xue, so there was such a will.
Xue Chongyi's brain suddenly "buzzed", and when he heard someone behind him get up and step forward, the lieutenant put on Rong Hua's cloud shoulder and Xia veil, and Rong Hua knelt down again, "Concubine Xue Tao Rong Hua received the order and thanked him." "He held the decree in both hands.
After the ceremony, the waiter smiled and said, "After the decree is read, please get up!"
Xue Chongyi's eyes widened, and he almost couldn't stand up in his heart. And that's all there is to it? There is no mention of him, just a few words. Xue Chongyi glanced at the waiter unwillingly, only to see that the waiter only cared about talking to the old lady, Ming Rui, and Rong Hua, and the others seemed to be ignored.
The second lady was pale and unable to say a word.
The chamberlain saluted the old lady, "There is one more thing in our family," he said, taking a mahogany lacquered gold box from the hand of the chamberlain behind him, "This is the Xue family's hereditary title coupon, and the emperor has an order to properly return it to the eldest princess." ”
The old lady took the voucher from the hand of the chamberlain.
The waiter said: "Our family congratulates the eldest princess." ”
The waiter wanted to go back to restore his life, but the old lady was busy asking people to send silver ingots, but the waiter refused to accept it, and then took people away.
Everyone in the Xue family went to worship their ancestors first, and then they went back to the house to change their clothes.
Xue Chongyi entered the door, and as soon as his feet crossed the threshold, he suddenly went weak and almost fell to the ground.
The second wife hurriedly stepped forward to help.
Xue Chongyi said sharply: "Don't let people fetch water yet." ”
……
Chang Ningbo's house was also busy, and Miss Chang Ningbo sat on a stool and looked at herself in the mirror, the people in the mirror had bright eyes and bright teeth, and they were as beautiful as flowers.
Miss Chang Ningbo said: "Why didn't my father and brother inquire about the news in advance, they knew that I should make a new dress." ”
Ren Yanfeng said with a smile: "Suddenly there was a reward, and no one knew about it before." ”
Miss Chang Ningbo smiled slightly, "It stands to reason that our family should be the first to reward Shi Mi's merits, and I don't know how long it will take to come over, who else will there be besides our family." ”
Ren Yanfeng said: "I don't know either, since it is Shi Mi's reward, there must be our family, and my sister can wait with peace of mind." ”
Miss Chang Ningbo suddenly smiled proudly, and now let the young ladies in Gyeonggi see who is really virtuous.
Haha, someone is ashamed
