Chapter 209: It's tiring to turn life into a spy war drama
The other meaning of chrysanthemums is not easy to explain to Feng Qingcheng, and of course it is impossible to really send a basket of chrysanthemums to the Chu Palace. The specifications of the gift are still determined according to the dealings between the mansion and the Chu Wangfu before she married into the Dingbei Hou Mansion.
Before dawn on the second day, Wan Wan went to the gate of heaven. For the time being, I have not been able to find any clues from the vast amount of information. However, it was confirmed once again that Concubine Chen had been able to flutter butterflies and swing in the previous two months, and her body was very healthy and normal.
However, this does not mean that Concubine Chen's stomach is fake.
It doesn't matter if you don't find a clue, anyway, the moth in King Chu's heart will always show a little bit with the passage of time.
When I returned to the Dingbei Hou Mansion, it was already past noon. The banquet time was set for the evening, and Wan Wan was not in a hurry, first ordered the spatula to make some food when it arrived at Shen Shi, and then rested on Feng Qingcheng's lap to make up for sleep. It wasn't until a pot of bamboo stewed rice made by a spatula and a few plates of refreshing and non-greasy meat and vegetarian side dishes came that she got up.
Feng Qingcheng has always had three meals, but seeing the sweetness of her food and thinking that it would be difficult to eat a banquet like tonight, she used this meal early with Wan Wan.
After eating, the two took a short break, and then began to change their clothes and prepare to go out.
The clothes and other things needed for the banquet were all prepared by Jin Ying in advance, and there was no need to bother with anything. After changing it, Wan Wan found that her clothes matched Feng Qingcheng very well, and even had the taste of a couple's shirt.
Wan Wan pinched Jin Ying's face and said, "Ying'er, why are you becoming more and more likable?" ”
Jin Ying just pursed her lips and smiled. She wanted to speak, but Madame was still pinching her face. She couldn't bend down, and she couldn't speak.
Wan Wan's fingers pinched her face again, and she said to herself, "Why are you still so thin?" ”
Wan Wan wondered if this little girl was malnourished, and thought about how to make up for this little girl.
Jin Ying listened to Wan Wan's muttering, and actually thought a little smartly: She has to continue to eat more. Otherwise, the appearance of falling down as soon as the wind blows, it will be a little less imposing to follow the lady.
It seems that on this occasion, Xianghe and the county lord will never be left behind. But this time, she waited very carefully, and when she heard the news that Wan Wan was also going, she excused herself that she was unwell, so she didn't go this time.
After getting the news that the county lord of Xianghe was not going, Meng hesitated slightly. Why didn't the county lord Xianghe go, she knew something. If it was in the past, she would have followed the pace of the county lord of Xianghe and looked for the same reason not to go.
Wan Wan's identity is special, and she brings two little ladies to the banquet, and she can't do many things. The two little ladies have no way to benefit, not to mention the embarrassment, which is to make other provinces look lively.
Now that the county lord of Xianghe is not going, if she does not go to the Meng family, the relationship between the two little ladies in the house and Wan Wan will be broken, and Wan Wan's reputation will be even more unpleasant. As long as some means are used, the importance of the county lord of Xianghe will be revealed.
Meng Shi thought for a moment and quickly made a decision. She's going. Even if it is a little embarrassing to go as the old lady of Dingbei Hou Mansion, she still wants to go.
If nothing else, just to make up for the things that Wan Wan couldn't do from such occasions. The situation in the mansion is different from what it used to be, and her status with the county lord of Xianghe is also different from the past. In detail, the relationship that needs to be maintained by her is not much less than that of Xianghe.
In the past, because of her status as the lord of Xianghe County and the brother of the Kyoto Prefecture Yin, she was obedient to Xianghe Duojia. Now she wants to change completely.
It's not that she wants to change to cater to Wanwan. If you really want to think about it, no matter how much Tianmen General Arrest is trusted by the Son of Heaven, there are no such networks. It is not more practical than the benefits that a county lord and Kyoto Prefecture Yin can bring to her children.
She never felt that there was anything wrong with following the path of profit, but she felt that it was better to rely on anyone than on herself. Relying on the benefits ushered in, relying on the value in exchange for the firm.
In Xianghe County Lord, her Meng clan is of little value. And in Wan Wan's case, her value is much more useful.
Wan Wan didn't expect the county lord of Xianghe to be cowardly, so she pretended to be sick and didn't go. Her head didn't turn to understand the little mystery, but there was also a Fengqing City who knew a lot about the routines of the county lord of Xianghe. When Wan Wan understood the doorway, she immediately wanted to "visit the sick".
It's okay if the county lord of Xianghe doesn't go, but he can't pretend to be sick too much.
Just as Wan Wan turned around and was about to return to the inner courtyard, the well-dressed Meng led the two little ladies and Feng Qingxun out.
Wan Wan looked at the time, and decided to go to the banquet first, and then slowly "visit" after returning. Naturally, she didn't forget to solemnly say to Meng Shi, "I have to ask my aunt to bother for me tonight." ”
Meng immediately laughed and said, "What did this kid say? It's all a family that says it's hard work, please. ”
Places where there are Meng are always lively and laughing. She also has the ability, from the middle of the inner courtyard gate to the middle of the house, Sheng is to make everyone laugh four or five times.
A group of people divided five carriages and went straight to the palace of the king of Chu.
Who has been invited by the Chu Palace, who has prepared what gifts, and what people to bring, these women have already seen in Tianmen. The list is really not short, the important ministers, officials, and lords are idle, and the scope of the invitation of the king of Chu is not extensive.
The list looks at the scene is not small, and when I really see it, I feel that this scene is terrifying. The street where the Chu Wangfu is located is almost crowded with carriages from various provinces.
Feng Qingcheng and Wan Wan's carriage were surpassed several times in succession, and Liuyu's temperament came up a little. He turned his wrist, leaned close to the curtain and said inside: "Master Hou, Madam, do we have to hurry up?" ”
The master and servant have been servants for many years, and Feng Qingcheng naturally understands this question. He first asked Wan Wan, "Shall you go over quickly?" ”
It didn't matter whether it was fast or slow, so she said, "It's all good." By the meaning of constancy. ”
If Madame had no opinion, Feng Qingcheng decided to maintain his domineering image and dignity a little. Then he said outside the curtain: "Be steady." ”
Liuyu answered happily, and then drove the coachman aside, and drove the carriage himself.
Wan Wan was a little confused. She heard it right, he said "hold it steady." Shouldn't it be slow? However, although the car is fast, it is indeed quite stable.
Liuyu drove the carriage all the way to the left and right, and beautifully threw off many carriages and horses all the way to take the lead. Naturally, this included several other carriages from their own house.
After getting out of the carriage, Wan Wan found that it was none other than the right deputy general manager of the Tianmen Yesterday, who was standing in front of the Chu Palace's mansion to greet the guests.
In fact, there was no festival between Wan Wan and Jiang Shaoting. And because of Jiang Shaoting's existence, her life in Tianmen was much more leisurely and smooth. Seeing Jiang Shaoting at this moment, Wan Wan sighed a little in her heart.
She didn't feel guilty because of her idea to get Jiang Shaoting demoted here. She just feels tired of turning her life into a spy war drama.
It's up to no one else, and it's really uncomfortable to have such days.
