About half an hour later, the boat that was in the way ahead gave way, and when Changge got off the boat and landed, he saw the carriage sent by his uncle's Zhenguo Mansion and a few grandmothers waiting here.

After those people saluted Changge, they served Changge and got on the scarlet dark axle, and the grandmothers saw that Changge was sitting behind before ordering the little servants to get up and carry the sedan chair. Changge looked quietly, only to see that the capital is prosperous everywhere, the streets are wide and rich, the crowd is dense, but it is different from the south of the Yangtze River, when he arrived at a sugar gourd shop, his heart suddenly aroused an inexplicable feeling, Changge couldn't help but wonder, he had never been to the capital, how could he be so familiar with this?

I don't know how long I walked, but the sedan chair finally stopped.

I saw a slightly chubby, groomed and spirited grandmother opened the curtain and said, "Miss Cousin has worked hard, the town has arrived." ”

Changge got off the sedan chair when he heard this, and saw that this place was different from other streets. I remember that when I was in Jiangnan, I heard Guo mention that the most important division in the capital is 369 and so on, and a century-old family like Zhenguofu generally lives in this Dongyu Street. I saw two big stone lions standing at the gate of Zhenguo Mansion, the main gate was majestic, and there were three big characters of 'Zhenguo Mansion' written by Emperor Chongwen himself, and several servants who were waiting here walked into the mansion with a long song.

As soon as I entered the weeping flower door, I heard a delicate and pleasant voice: "Good sister, I can see you." ”

I saw a young woman wearing a chrysanthemum top and a long skirt embroidered with gold silk yarn running towards her, Changge saw her bright eyes and bright teeth, looking forward to Shenfei, and guessed in her heart that this must be Guo Ziyu, the beloved daughter of Zhenguo Gong, so she said: "Sister Ziyu." ”

"Sister Changge" Guo Ziyu affectionately took Changge's hand and said, "Grandmother and mother were still chatting just now, let's go in quickly." ”

As soon as Changge entered the room, he saw an old lady dressed in wealth looking at her with a kind face, Changge knew that this was Guo's mother Wu, Changge stepped forward and saluted: "Changge has seen his grandmother and aunt. ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard Wu smile lovingly: "Good boy, come here." Then he took Changge into his arms and looked at it carefully, "I haven't seen your mother for almost fifteen years, and now that you are so old, come and meet your aunts." ”

Changge turned around and bowed, only to see Guo Ziyu's mother Liu Shi slightly lost his mind for a moment after seeing him, and then said with a smile: "Although Changge you only live here for a few months, don't be restrained, just treat this as your home." ”

When Changge heard this, his face couldn't stop being grateful and shy, and he only lowered his head and replied humbly: "Thank you for your concern." ”

Liu Shi took Changge's hand and said, "What do you care about or not, your mother and I were the best at the beginning." What to eat, what to use, my aunt has prepared it for you, by the way, and the grandmother who teaches the etiquette in the palace has also prepared it for you, and if you want anything else, just come and tell me. ”

Changge nodded and agreed, at this time, a first-class girl who looked like a girl walked in and said a few words in Liu's ear, Liu nodded, and smiled at Changge's people: "Just talking, it happened to come." ”

"Who's coming?" Wu asked

Liu handed over a cup of milk tea and said: "It's to teach Changge that Mama is here," and turned his head and said to Changge with a smile: "This Mama Bai is an old Mama who has served the Son of Heaven for three dynasties, and she just came out of the palace last month. ”

Hearing this, Changge bowed forward and thanked him: "Thank you for your care, Changge really doesn't know how to thank you." ”

Liu only picked up Changge and said, "Silly boy, sit down." He talked to Changge one by one, and saw a little girl report: "Old lady, wife, young lady, you can eat." ”

When they heard this, they carried each other to the dining room, and as soon as they entered the door, they saw that there were already several dining rings waiting here. Wu sat on the front seat, and the rest of the people sat down according to the eldest and youngest. In addition to the sixteen home-cooked dishes, the dinner also added rich and exquisite, winter to spring, acacia gardenia, these common dishes, a few girls saw the long song after the use, and immediately put on the white fungus snow swallow soup.

Changge was a little unaccustomed, but he also scooped a spoonful and fed it to his mouth to taste, only to hear Guo Ziyu say: "Sister Changge is here today, why hasn't my brother come back?" ”

The elder brother in Guo Ziyu's mouth is Changge's nominal cousin, and now Guo Zixiang, the leader of the Sanpin Protector Army.

When Liu heard this, he said: "Today, the Pingzhou inspector entered Beijing, and your brother was called into the palace by the emperor, and he should be back in a while." ”

After the meal, Wu took Changge and walked to Shou'an Hall. Everyone drank tea and asked some short words from the parents, Changge agreed one by one, and before the words fell, I saw an extremely handsome young man walk in, only to see his eyes burning, and between his eyebrows there was a bit of a general that ordinary rich sons did not have.

"Brother, you're finally back......" Guo Ziyu ran forward and said coquettishly.

Guo Zixiang patted her head and saluted Wu and Liu; "Grandmother, mother is well."

"Okay, okay, don't go see your cousin yet." Wu said

Guo Zixiang heard that he hurriedly lowered his head and said, "My sister is fine." Only then did he look up and see Changge's appearance, but he couldn't help but be surprised in his heart.

Changge saw Guo Zixiang's expression, a little puzzled and ashamed, although the defense of men and women in Dongyue is not too strict, but he is his daughter's family and a girl to be drafted, and his face can't help but be red.

Fortunately, Guo Zixiang immediately returned to his usual demeanor and talked with Wu. At the end of the day, the housekeeper came back and said, "The Ruiyuxuan prepared for Miss Biao has been taken care of, and the luggage and the maid-in-law have also been settled." ”

Wu nodded and said, "It's not too early, Changge, you rest tonight, and Mama Bai will go to see you tomorrow." He leaned on the cushion of fox velvet and thought for a while: "Mama Xu, during this time, you will follow Changge first, and then go to Qingyun Temple tomorrow to get the jade bracelet, and send it to Changge when the time comes." ”

Everyone nodded in agreement, and after Changge talked to the Wu family for a while, he followed Mama Xu back to Ruiyuxuan.

At this moment, the Wu family and the Liu family are still discussing together. I saw Liu Shi said: "I don't know why my mother sent Mama Xu to her?" ”

Wu Shi was crooked on the floor, and his cloudy eyes revealed a bit of essence: "Although this kid looks good, he can't be sure that he has any ideas in his heart." Now you can't be wrong at this juncture, and it's more reassuring to have someone of your own to watch. Besides, you have to do enough to save face. ”

"What my mother said is, but I don't know if this move of my little brother-in-law will work?" Liu helped Wu pinch his legs.

Wu motioned for her to get up, sat up straight, and said, "Can't do it?" Hmph, if you can't do it, you have to do it, for the incident four years ago, how many families the emperor disposed of, we also know in our hearts. Don't say anything else, you just look at the Qi family before, more than 100 people, and in the end, only Qi Wang was left, this emperor didn't say it on his face, hum! This is taboo in my heart......"

"Yes, yes, my daughter-in-law saved it, thanks to the little brother-in-law's foresight, he left us such a treasure." Hearing this, Liu echoed.

"He's a character, by the way" Wu looked at Liu, don't let Ziyu do these things, Zixiang knows, especially Ziyu, they are young and can't hide things. ”

"Hey, my daughter-in-law knows." Liu rolled his eyes and nodded in reply.

This Ruiyu Xuan was originally Guo's boudoir when he was not out of the pavilion, three in and three out, small and small, but exquisite, exquisite and elegant.

The night was deep, Changge was lying on the sandalwood carved white jade bed thinking about everything today, the face of the Guo family, and Gu Qingsong's expression made her a little puzzled, and she tossed and turned for a long time before falling asleep.

The next morning, as soon as Changge finished breakfast, Mama Xu led Mama Bai to come.

This white grandmother still has a good demeanor, her eyebrows and eyes are smooth, although she has left the palace, but the momentum around her body cannot be ignored, I saw her go forward and salute: "The old slave has seen Miss, Miss is fine." ”

Changge looked at her, a smile curled up at the corner of his mouth, motioned for Banxia to help her up, and gave her a silver ticket of five hundred taels of silver that had been prepared. Mama Bai didn't shirk it, and after taking it without being arrogant or humble, she said with a smile: "The slave Bai Wei has seen Miss." ”

Changge nodded, then asked Mama Bai to sit down and said, "Changge has just arrived, and in the future, Mama will be taught by Mama, and Changge will definitely study hard." ”

Seeing that Changge was extraordinary, and humble and polite, Mama Bai's tone became softer: "Miss, it is a blessing for a slave to be able to serve Miss, and the slave must do her best to teach Miss." ”

In the following month, Changge followed Mama Bai every day to learn the etiquette in the palace and understand the things in the palace. Changge is an extremely intelligent person, and Mama Bai's teaching quickly became proficient, so Mama Bai taught Changge even more dedicatedly.

And during these days, Changge also had an understanding of the things in the palace.

Today's emperor was born to the first emperor filial piety as the empress dowager, with a noble status, smart and wise since childhood, not only went to the Northern Qi and Southern Chu, but also helped the first emperor to quell the rebellion of the three kings, and in the three years on the throne, it made the national strength of Dongyue stronger and stronger. Now she is twenty-two, and the current queen is Leng Hanzhi, the daughter of the left prime minister of the dynasty, who is two years younger than the emperor, and her personality is the most gentle and polite. Now in the palace, except for the daughters of several auxiliary ministers when they ascended the throne, there is no one else.

And the emperor's mother is the filial piety of the queen mother, five days after the emperor ascended the throne went to Lingyun Mountain to pray for blessings, and today's harem is respected by the queen Leng and the daughter of the right minister, Dugu Mengyao.

This election is the first draft after the emperor ascends the throne, and the family background of the show girl is carefully selected and extremely strict. And the palace is strictly hierarchical, even if it is a family background like Changge, when she first entered the palace, she could only be an ordinary low-level palace concubine, once when she sent Mama Bai out, she once said to Changge that with such a family background as Changge, it must be unexpected to enter the palace, and told her to be careful and cherish herself. Changge was grateful when he heard this, and after thanking him, he stayed with Mama Bai to dine.

In addition to studying, Guo Ziyu often comes to play with Changge. Changge has a cold temperament, and he doesn't like to talk to people, and he has almost no friends in the past three years, but he didn't expect that Guo Ziyu, who is enthusiastic and innocent, has become each other's best friends with Changge.

Idle and nothing, after a day of rain, Changge was sitting under the window writing a poem by Li Bai, and the hairpin flowers were extremely elegant and elegant.

"Sister, are you writing again?" I saw Guo Ziyu walking in with a Mulan Flying Flower Liuyun Food Box.

Changge put down his pen, looked at the food box and said, "Little gluttonous cat, what delicious food are you here?" He called Yidong over and said: "Quickly prepare a cup of hot osmanthus milk for Ziyu to warm up, it has just rained, and it is not good to catch a cold." ”

Guo Ziyu took out the Moyu cloud cake in the food box, "Sister, taste it, I made it." Sister, where are you going to go tomorrow for the next Yuan Festival? ”

Changge chewed the cloud cake, shook his head and said, "I'm not familiar with the capital either, what's the matter?" What the hell is the idea? ”

"Sister is really ......" Guo Ziyu said angrily, "The Xia Yuan Festival in the capital is lively, why don't we go out for a walk?" ”
