Chapter 205: Distress in the Palace (Part II)
How could Yaohua come. (Niu Wen ~ Net)
Chunyao whispered: "I heard that I was just passing by, and the eldest lady brought something to the young lady." ”
Rong Hua nodded, and after a while, he found a chance to talk to the old lady, and then got up and came out of the house.
Yaohua was invited into the house by Jinxiu.
After Rong Hua got married, this was the first time Yao Hua entered Rong Hua's room.
The big courtyard and the main house, whether it is the Shoushan stone and flowers outside, or the promenade when you come in, everywhere is carefully arranged, the middle hall is a wall of "Ronghua Jin", a long case, the top of the case is offered a jade Ruyi, on both sides of the Su Sancai seahorse eight auspicious pattern jars, one side of the roll of the Hunan bamboo curtain, while hanging the soft smoke of the rain over the sunny day, inside is the reunion door of the carved Ruyi pattern, the inside is built with a warm kang, the kang body is wrapped with carved mahogany, the kang is paved with cyan embroidered soft satin, the foot pedal is made of small leaf red sandalwood, There is also a dark purple knitted blanket in the center.
The kang is inlaid with a boy frolicking interstitial, and there is a pair of red sandalwood boxes next to it, on which are placed a yellow ground pastel hollow four seasons turning heart bottle and a three-color petal-type three-legged plate.
Jinxiu invited Yaohua to sit on the soft kang, and the dendrobium in the room was inserted with newly cut flower branches, sending bursts of floral fragrance with the wind.
Mu Hibiscus brought the tea up, Yaohua took it, and took a closer look at the blue and white floral cup that was a daffodil, Yaohua's hand shook slightly, and he couldn't help but be shocked, he didn't expect Rong Hua's house to be so rich.
Yaohua was sitting, looking up at the soft gold hook fastened on the curtain.
Jinxiu said: "The young lady is back. ”
Chunyao stepped forward to open the curtain, Rong Hua entered the house, Yaohua stood up, took a few steps forward and saluted Rong Hua.
Rong Hua looked over and asked after a while, "Why is the second sister here today?" ”
Yaohua raised her head and smiled gently, "Yesterday, when the eighth sister left, my mother forgot for a while, the eighth sister likes the tea brought back from the south, my father got some a few days ago, so I brought it over, and my mother also made a descendant pillow for my sister with her own hands, and told my sister to be sure to put it on the pillow." ”
What a loving parent.
Rong Hua nodded and said with a smile: "Just let Mother Chen send it, how can you bother the second sister." ”
Yaohua blinked her eyes and said softly: "I didn't send it on purpose, my aunt's family invited a few young ladies from my family to the new house." My aunt came to invite me again, and my mother asked me to talk with me, so as not to have trouble with everyone because of my mother's illness. ”
Rong Hua's heart moved, but he didn't answer Yaohua's words.
Yaohua didn't care, smiled slightly and said naturally: "Uncle is at the door." ”
This was to ask her uncle why she didn't come in.
Rong Hua smiled in her heart, but her face was silent, and she looked at Yaohua quietly, if she didn't understand Yaohua's heart, she wouldn't be able to say that sentence in Yaohua's arms.
Yaohua was obviously traveling with his uncle's wife, but he entered the house alone, and deliberately mentioned his uncle's wife after less than two sentences......
"Second sister is going to visit her uncle's house now?"
Yaohua nodded.
Rong Hua whispered to Jinxiu, "Wrap that pair of blue and white lotus gourds." ”
Jinxiu was busy arranging.
Yaohua's eyes lowered when she heard this.
Rong Hua said: "I went out with my second sister to see my aunt. ”
Yaohua smiled slightly.
Yaohua followed behind Rong Hua and looked at the paintings on the corridor of Xue Mansion, and then looked at Rong Hua's side face, delicate face, and small jaw I heard that it looked very much like her biological mother, and her mother also let people inquire, Aunt Seven is a gentle character.
Rong Hua's temperament doesn't know who she looks like, she looks deferential, but she is very urban, otherwise she would not be able to marry into Xue Mansion smoothly. Yaohua smiled slightly, Concubine Jing is pregnant now, how could Rong Hua be so smart and step forward so easily...... No matter what her mother said, Rong Hua would not bring anything into the palace.
The queen mother invited a foreign woman, and the deeper intention was still unclear, how could she add a little more danger to herself? Mother thought the whole thing too simply.
There are a lot of things that can be easily brought into the palace.
But after all, there is this relationship, no matter how you say that she Tao Ronghua is still surnamed Tao, and the reputation of the Tao family's woman is bad, Tao Ronghua will also be implicated, although she Tao Ronghua has become Mrs. Wu Muhou, she is still related to Concubine Jing, and outsiders will see it this way.
This time when you enter the palace, you will inevitably be "taken care of" more.
Out of the hanging flower gate, Rong Hua just arrived in front of the carriage, and a maid opened the curtain of the carriage.
The woman in the car hurriedly walked out and stepped forward to salute Rong Hua, "Why did the young lady send it out?" ”
"Uncle," Rong Hua stepped forward with a slight smile, "I heard that the second sister said that there was a banquet at home, and I also congratulated me on the housewarming." ”
Rong Hua stepped forward to speak generously, his eyes were clear, and he didn't seem to hide his emotions at all.
When my uncle froze, it was difficult for her to speak again.
"The mansion just got a rough idea, that is, to ask a few of their young ladies to come over to help write some poems, so as to increase some joy, and wait until everything is arranged in the future, and then invite Mrs. Wu Muhou to come over."
Rong Hua smiled: "Uncle is too polite. ”
The gifts had been delivered, and there was nothing else, so Yaohua and his uncle got into the carriage.
When the carriage left Xue's mansion, Rong Hua returned to the courtyard.
But overnight, Mrs. Uncle changed all of a sudden, and when she returned to Tao's house yesterday, Mrs. Uncle was still sitting upright, as if waiting for her to take the initiative to ask Concubine Jing, and today she was polite all of a sudden.
Jinxiu brought a cup of tea, Rong Hua just took a sip, and Su Changjiu talked back and forth, "The little one has found a few people who have been watching around, there are really two people who are sneaky and suspicious, and they will not leave until the carriage of the young lady's family leaves." ”
Sure enough, someone was staring.
Rong Hua nodded and instructed Su Changjiu, "Pay more attention to the situation outside the mansion during this time." ”
Su left for a long time, and Jinxiu smiled and brought the little guy next to Brother Hong.
The little guy sent the notebook written by Brother Hong, and said respectfully: "The second master said that he would show the notebook to the young lady." ”
Hearing this, he knew that he had the meaning of boasting, Rong Hua looked down, and the words on it were really better than before.
The little guy then replied: "Sir, let me tell the young lady, the Hou Ye has prepared the horses, and today Mr. will bring a few family members to teach the second master and the seventh master to ride horses." ”
So fast. Xue Mingrui must have arranged the horseback riding, and there will be no problems. But thinking that Brother Hong and Xue Mingzhe were still a little worried about riding a horse for the first time, Rong Hua ordered: "After all, it's the first time, let Brother Hong and the Seventh Master go and kowtow to the old lady, and then go out." "Sir must have passed the old lady before he taught riding and shooting. Let Brother Hong and Xue Mingzhe go to the old lady to listen to the teachings of the elders, and they can be more cautious in doing things, after all, they are still children and need to be restrained.
The little guy retreated.
Rong Hua lowered his head and looked at the notebook in his hand again.
Tao Zhengan and Zhao Xin are related to alchemy, once these are known by the imperial court, what will be the consequences?
Tiger poison does not eat children, even her own daughter will be a killer is not as good as a human animal, she does not have any expectations of Tao Zhengan, whether it is Tao Zhengan or the eldest wife, as long as anyone around them has use value, they will not hesitate to sacrifice. Now Tao Zheng'an has lost the backer of the Yicheng Hou Mansion, she married into the Xue Mansion and is not at the mercy of the eldest wife, the eldest lady can only rely on Concubine Jing, Concubine Jing is obviously not a person who keeps to herself.
She doesn't care about the Tao family in the future, she only cares about what she cares about.
What Tao Zhengan has done over the years is nothing more than to be able to rise steadily, if Tao Zhengan can take the initiative to resign, it will be a good thing for Brother Hong and her.
It is necessary to let Tao Zhengan "take the initiative" to resign.
Tao Zheng'an's Zhejiang Shilang has been in the middle for more than three years, and the wealth of buying a woman for glory should also come to an end.
In the evening, Rong Hua went to the old lady's house to learn the etiquette in the palace again, and just after doing it again, Xue Mingrui came back.
The old lady smiled and said: "Rong Hua is much more clever than when I was younger, and I remember the things I have been taught once, I have lived in the palace for so many years, and some etiquette is not very good when I study it in detail." ”
Rong Hua turned his face sideways to look at Xue Mingrui, Xue Mingrui was also looking over, and the eyes of the two collided together.
The old lady's smile intensified.
After dinner in the evening, Xue Mingrui looked at the gift that Rong Hua had brought into the palace.
Rong Hua said with a smile: "We don't have any suitable things in the house, and I'm afraid that something will go wrong when I go out to buy it temporarily, so I choose to choose it or take it out of my mother's house, and the meaning of Buddha's hand is good." ”
Xue Mingrui nodded.
Chunyao took all the maids in the house to retreat, Rong Hua and Xue Mingrui entered the inner room, Rong Hua stretched out his hand to tidy up Xue Mingrui's clothes, and told Yaohua and his uncle's wife about their arrival, "I specially asked Su Changjiu to pay attention to the door of the mansion...... When my aunt came, someone was watching. ”
In a situation like this, anyone in the house will inevitably have other people's eyes, but today's incident seems to be targeted.
Xue Mingrui's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
Rong Hua smiled slightly, "The more this is the case, the more I have to enter the palace tomorrow." With so many eyes staring at her, she couldn't let them down, she couldn't back down, she couldn't leave anything to chance, otherwise she would inevitably be caught in her weakness. To raise his spirit and face it well, Rong Hua stretched out his hand to stroke Xue Mingrui's furrowed eyebrows.
Her outstretched finger was held by him, "Tomorrow I will also be summoned into the palace, and I will be separated from you by several palace walls." ”
The wind gently blew the soft smoke, his gaze was deep, the dark embroidery on the neckline of his robe snaked down, and the gold crown and jade on his head glittered in the light, as if it could penetrate people's hearts and make people feel at ease.
Rong Hua couldn't help but smile.
……
The queen mother gave a banquet, the women who went to the banquet got into the carriage early, rushed to wait outside the Xihua Gate, and when the hour arrived, the palace gate was opened, and the women held the gifts dedicated to the Queen Mother, and entered the palace from the Xihua Gate one after another with the palace card.
Even if the female relatives entered, the palace was more heavily guarded than before, but everything that was brought into the palace was generally inspected, and the experienced foreign women greeted each other inside the palace gate, and then looked sideways at the ladies who were being examined.
The palace gate guard followed the chamberlain, Rong Hua handed the palace card to the chamberlain, the chamberlain looked at it, and stepped forward to salute, "Mrs. Wu Muhou." ”
There were two other chamberlains beside the palace gate, and they quickly raised their heads to look at Rong Hua.
Rong Hua handed the gift over, and the waiter took a closer look at the gift before returning it to Rong Hua, and said in a low voice, "Please take it well, Madame." ”
Rong Hua took the gift and nodded, the eyes of the chamberlain seemed to sweep over her twice, and then looked at the female officer next to her, and the female officer hurriedly stepped forward to answer Rong Hua, "Mrs. Wu Muhou, please come with me." ”
