Chapter 188: Encounter
The Zhongyuan Festival has always been a festival that the royal attaches great importance to, when there are thousands of glass river lamps on the Taiye Pond, drifting with the waves, playing Sanskrit music, doing Zen recitation, watching the river lanterns on the Tuancheng, and setting up a banquet in Yilan Hall to invite civil and military officials and women.
Lin Yi changed Zhou Shijiu's clothes, buttoned up the Jiaoshou Huangyu lotus pattern belt, and watched Zhou Shijiu go out refreshed. Lin Yi instructed Orange Hong to arrange for carriages and horses to go to the clan camp. In the middle of the year, you should knock on the elders to send lanterns and prepare congratulatory colors. It is always the highest ranking of Prince Yixin in the camp, and when it comes to important festivals, the clan always has to go over and get together.
The carriage stopped at Prince Xin's mansion, Lin Yi let Orange Hong help her get out of the car, and happened to meet the newly arrived Princess Xianjun at the Hanging Flower Gate, Princess Xianjun saw Lin Yi and walked forward with a smile and said: "I just thought I could see you for a while, and when I got off the carriage, I saw your family, I knew that you were so careless, so I would say a few more words to you." ”
Lin Yi pursed her lips and smiled, "If I hadn't been sick for the past few days, I would have invited the princess of the county to be a guest a long time ago." ”
Princess Xianjun glanced at Lin Yi with disgust, "Why don't you say that you are not feeling well, you also know that I have never gone out much, and I know less about these things." ”
The husband and wife of the king of Xianjun can be regarded as living in a simple house, and rarely appear at the banquet. The princess of Xianjun likes to raise some flowers and plants, and she makes fragrant dew and spices on weekdays, and opens a fragrant dew shop in Beijing, and the business is quite prosperous.
Lin Yi smiled: "It's not a serious illness, so it didn't alarm the princess of the county." ”
Princess Xianjun smiled and held Lin Yi's hand, her eyes flickering, "I know you're busy." "Rumors about the in-laws have spread all over the city, and many people are waiting to see the jokes.
I don't know how many people are waiting for Princess Kangjun to meet the elders of the clan during this Midyear Festival.
Looking at Princess Xianjun's flickering gaze, Lin Yi bowed slightly, smiled and entered Prince Xin's mansion with Princess Xianjun. I already knew what the Midyear Festival would face, and it was too late to be afraid at this time, so it was better to go head-on.
Prince Shin's mansion was filled with all kinds of lanterns, and the women of the clan gathered together to talk and laugh, and the atmosphere was unusual.
"Princess Kangjun is here."
Everyone stepped forward to greet each other.
Lin Yi walked forward slowly, and could feel everyone's eyes falling on her except for her. Everyone was still looking into the flower hall.
"I heard that Yuanqi's daughter-in-law is here," Princess Xianjun said in a low voice, "You probably don't know that Yuanqi's daughter-in-law has been divorced." ”
Zhou Yuanqi is the fifteenth of the seventh uncle's family that Mrs. Guo said on Tuesday.
So this year's Midyear Festival. Not only is she eye-catching, but also Zhou Yuanqi's daughter-in-law Jiang.
In the clan, Zhou Yuanqi has a good reputation, he is a good child who is benevolent and filial, kind, and his parents are in charge of marrying the daughter of the Tongzhi Mu family, who knows that Zhou Yuanqi's temperament has changed greatly after getting married. first disobeyed his parents, and then beat and scolded his wife. I also made a lot of gentlemen, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling all of them, the Mu family was born as a military general, and the Mu family had a strong temperament, and it was good if the two of them did not meet, and they would have to make a fuss when they met, and the elders of the family had no choice but to discuss how to give the two people peace and leave.
Princess Xianjun said in a low voice: "The Mu family is also virtuous, otherwise she would not marry into the clan." It's probably really rumored that the two people have incompatible temperaments. ”
What the exact reason is only known to Zhou Yuanqi and Mu Shi.
It is not as simple as the common people to reconcile the clan, the seventh uncle does not want to lose face, and the Mu family is not willing to take his daughter back. This matter dragged on for more than a year, and in the end, the two families reached a consensus, the Mu family took back their daughter and married the dowry, and Zhou Yuanqi also reserved face for the Mu family, which was not considered a divorce.
Later, Mu married a cousin who was not very well-off, and became pregnant less than a year after getting married, and gave birth to a big fat boy the next year. Lord Mu still relented, and fought for his son-in-law for the position of county order.
Compared with the Mu family, Zhou Yuanqi had a bit of a bumpy time after he left, I don't know when Zhou Yuanqi met the Jiang family, and the Jiang family had promised to marry someone but put it on hold. The atmosphere between the Jiang family and the Zhou family was tense and awkward, and the Jiang family had a serious illness and almost died in the boudoir. Zhou Yuanqi was also beaten by his father, and he was raised for half a year before he could get out of bed and walk, but this did not stop this family business, Zhou Yuanqi still married Jiang into the door.
If it weren't for the Jiang family's compassionate father, and the Zhou family's heart was soft for a while, this family business would not have been able to be done.
Although these are all hearsay, it seems that they are not far from ten.
After the Jiang family entered the door, Zhou Yuanqi's bad habits were all gone, and he was still studying martial arts diligently over the years, and it seemed that he wanted to seek a job in the imperial court.
It's all marriages, and different people get different results.
Lin Yi didn't look at Jiang Shi curiously like others, but greeted Jiang Shi very normally, and then sat down in their chairs.
Princess Xin is well-maintained, although her hair has turned gray, she is full of energy, and her gestures are full of nobility, and she looked at Lin Yi kindly, "Princess Kangjun has been reduced." ”
"It's a pity that she has to take care of the entire county palace at a young age, so she is naturally worried." Princess Jingjun's smile had a deep meaning behind it.
Everyone present could not understand that this means something.
If you don't manage the inner house well, how can you let the news of your in-laws spread everywhere.
Lin Yi smiled slightly and went to get the tea on the low table to drink, and didn't say a word under Princess Jingjun's expectations.
A smile suddenly appeared on the face of Jiang Shi opposite Lin Yi.
Lin Yi didn't speak, so Princess Jingjun couldn't continue, and after waiting for a while, she had to take tea and drink it.
Everyone knows that Brother Jingjun Wang wants to buy back the land, if there is no case of the Ge family and Zhou Yongchang, the recovery of this land will be very smooth.
King Jingjun's anger will definitely burn on the Chen family, and the first to bear the brunt is the Chen family, the princess of Kangjun.
Chen dealt with it calmly, as if it was easier than the ladies watching the jokes next to him. Such a gesture can easily anger Princess Jingjun.
On such an occasion, the most feared thing is to lose the honor in front of people.
As he spoke, the next person came: "The Duchess of Zhenguo is here." ”
Zhenguo Gong is not titled, and Lin Yi needs to turn her head to know that it is Zhou Yuanguang and Lin Wan's family.
Lin Wan was escorted to salute the elders in the flower hall.
Prince Xin and Princess Xin hurriedly said: "You are a person with a double body, hurry up, the child in the belly is the big thing." ”
Princess Jingjun said: "People say that the new daughter-in-law is happy for three years, and the daughter-in-law of Yuanguang has only been in the door for a long time to import it for our Zhou family, and now the daughter-in-law of Yuangui also has it, it is really a double happiness." No wonder people say that the daughter-in-law is married and the house is peaceful," he said, looking at the Duchess of Zhenguo, "Madame is blessed." ”
Everyone looked at Lin Wan's belly, and inevitably their eyes fell on the other new daughters-in-law in the flower hall.
Lin Wan and Lin Yi are both daughters of the Chen family, but the difference is very big.
Lin Wan was easy-going, and even Guo's stomach was in control, but Lin Yi couldn't take care of her stomach. I don't know why, Lin Yi thought it was funny, so she lowered her head and pretended to be shy and shy.
Princess Jingjun held the handkerchief and said with a smile: "Princess Kangjun, don't be too anxious, take care of your body, and there will be good news soon." "It is better to spend the energy of managing government affairs on your own stomach than anything else.
The room fell silent all of a sudden, and only the laughter of Princess Jingjun was heard.
The Zhou family was drinking tea, and no one answered.
Lin Yi knew that this was just waiting for her fault, as long as the time came, she would say that she interfered in political affairs and could not manage it well, not only did she not get along well with her aunt's family, but also her sister Lin Wan was not on good terms.
Lin Yi thought of this, but she didn't expect the Jiang family on the other side to speak, "Princess Kangjun is the youngest among us, and she has only been married for less than half a year, and she is still behind in a good time." ”
Princess Jingjun only has a weak son, and now she is still taking Hu Seng's pills and wants the old clam bead fetus, and this word happened to be poked in Princess Jingjun's chest.
The atmosphere in the flower hall was even colder.
Lin Yi said with a smile: "The hour is almost up, everyone go to see the lanterns, and we have to go to Yilan Hall at night." ”
That's when everyone put up a bucket lantern.
Everyone went to the courtyard around the elders, and Princess Xianjun, Lin Yi and Jiang walked behind.
Jiang is slightly plump, very beautiful in a light cyan dress, with hollow carved gold on his arms, and his snow-white skin is also quite emotional.
Lin Yi and Jiang Shi met their eyes, as if they saw some familiar expressions in each other's eyes.
Jiang Shi took a purse from the maid beside him and handed it to Lin Yi, "I have long wanted to see Princess Kangjun, but I heard that Princess Kangjun was sick, so I didn't go." ”
Lin Yi took the purse, and the embroidery on it was very beautiful.
Jiang said: "I heard that the princess of the county is good at being a woman, my hands are clumsy, the princess of the county should not dislike it." ”
Lin Yi smiled: "Where, I just learned double-sided embroidery, and I can't compare to you as an embroiderer." ”
Watching Lin Yi and Jiang talk and laugh together, the belated Mrs. Zhou Zhen smiled coldly, and the good show was still to come.
……
When the time came, everyone got into the carriage one after another and rushed to Yilan Hall.
Lin Yi looked at the purse given to her by the Jiang family, and it could be seen that the Jiang family was a well-informed lady, no wonder Zhou Yuanqi was bent on marrying her.
It is not easy for Jiang and Zhou Yuanqi to get to where they are today.
The carriage quickly traveled to Beihai, everyone changed into a soft sedan chair, and walked to Yilan Hall under the group city. The waiter led the woman to sit down, and everyone was whispering, only to hear the waiter say: "The queen mother and the queen mother have arrived." ”
The crowd hurriedly stood up and saluted respectfully.
The Queen Mother smiled and asked everyone to get up.
Lin Yi raised her head to look at the queen mother, the queen mother's complexion was really much better, and her gestures were full of grace and luxury.
