Chapter 5 Seeing is believing

Empress Dowager Li announced that her mother entered the palace, "Mother, what rumors have been rumored outside the palace recently?" ”

"Rumors about Your Majesty." Empress Dowager Li asked.

"But who said anything in front of the mother?" Mother Li, Mrs. Wuqinghou asked, because she gave birth to a good daughter, she lived a pampered life in the second half of her life.

"Your Majesty went out of the palace for an unannounced visit, what was the reaction of the people?" Empress Dowager Li asked.

"Many shops are gearing up to open the light market, and the lights are well done, which can attract His Majesty to come in person." Mother Li said, "Your Majesty is young and loves to be lively, Niangniang doesn't need to be admonished, this is human nature, when he is older, you just drive him to see the excitement, and he won't go." ”

"It's really bold to go out of the palace without permission." Empress Dowager Li said.

"Why is the mother so hard, that is, the relationship between mother and son has to be consumed a lot." Li Muquan said.

"But he's not an ordinary son, he's Your Majesty." Empress Dowager Li sighed and said, "So I tried my best to worry about it, for fear that I would not be able to teach it well, and I would have no shame to go to the first emperor and the ancestors of the Zhu family." ”

"Niang Niang has done a good job. His Majesty is also doing a good job. Mother Li said.

"The lamp of three thousand taels in Andingfang?" Empress Dowager Li asked.

"There are rumors that these three thousand taels of lamps were bought by His Majesty, but the court is so quiet, naturally everyone knows that it has nothing to do with His Majesty." Li's mother said, "People love this kind of rumor. ”

"I heard that the lantern was made by a girl." Empress Dowager Li said, "Mother went back to take a look, if she is a good girl, don't let her be delayed by rumors." ”

"Niangniang has been kind-hearted since she was a child, and now she is even more loving." Mother Li said.

Mrs. Wuqinghou invited the three girls of the Wang family to attend the banquet in the next post, although such an invitation, there were five or four families in the entire Andingfang who received it, and there should be more than ten little girls who wanted to go to Wuqinghou's house as guests that day.

But Cui's decided that this party was for Wang Zhixi, and the others were all covering up, while hurriedly looking for someone to make new clothes and jewelry for their daughter, while covering his chest and saying to the henchmen around him, "My son is really going to enter the palace?" ”

"It's all alarmed Marquis Wuqing, it must be the Queen Mother who knows." The henchman was also excited, "In fact, the character and appearance of the second girl are only worthy of the palace." ”

"But if you enter the palace, you won't see it in the future." Cui said.

"Oops, my grandma." The henchman said, "Look at the Empress Dowager Li, now that she wants to see her mother, she will summon her mother to the palace, which is not so casual and convenient to marry into any family." The creation of the second girl is behind. ”

Cui's handkerchief touched his mouth, and the corners of his mouth were involuntarily raised, as if his daughter entered the palace and received the holy grace, gave birth to the prince, and finally sat in Cining Palace in front of her. "Hurry up and inquire, what does Mrs. Wuqinghou like? There is also the preference of the Empress Dowager Li. Cui said to his henchman.

Compared with Cui's heart, the old lady is much more peaceful. She called Wang Ronghe, "Has Mrs. made you new clothes?" ”

"I don't have time to make spring clothes yet." Wang Ronghe said.

"It's not about going out to a feast, it's about making clothes for the guests." The old lady said.

"The clothes I made for the New Year have only been put on once, so I wear them new. Besides," Wang Ronghe smiled, "It's just going to the Marquis of Wuqing's mansion, so there's nothing to be nervous about." ”

"Yes, it's not a big deal, just treat it as an ordinary guest at someone's house, naturally. Don't think he's the mother of Empress Dowager Li. The old lady said that Wang Ronghe had been sitting next to her, with a round face, healthy at a glance, and a pleasing couple, she pinched Wang Ronghe's hand, "Grandmother thought that such a big Bao'er would grow up at once, and she was going to get married, so she was really reluctant." Such a big flower bone, grandmother raised little by little. ”

"It's still early, grandmother is worried about something." Wang Ronghe said with a smile.

"It's not too early." The old lady said, "Originally, we had to see each other this year, but the emperor's wedding had to be selected, and the civil marriage was stopped, so I had to wait for His Majesty's wedding to see each other." ”

"I must choose from thousands of choices to find a wishful husband for my Bao'er." The old lady said, "What does Boa like?" ”

"I listen to my grandmother and my father." Wang Ronghe said.

"Even though Your Majesty took your lantern," said the old lady, who could not figure out why the Emperor had taken Bao'er's lantern. But I still don't want my granddaughter to have any unrealistic fantasies, but in this world, what woman doesn't want to marry the emperor? Especially now that the emperor is in his prime.

"Grandmother." Wang Ronghe said. "Rong and the mirror in his heart, grandmother still has something to worry about. His Majesty took away whose lamp, no one knows, will Rong You still take it out and boast? ”

"Now it is rumored that the emperor has taken away your second sister's lamp, and it is better for her to enter the palace than not to enter the palace. But if she becomes the imperial concubine, her status will be far better than yours. The old lady said. Wang Ronghe stopped talking with a smile, "Grandmother, you know, I don't care about this. This person's life, personal creation, just take care of himself, and climb with others, but only add to his troubles. Second sister, I also hope that she is well, even if the sisters see each other one day, I have to squat on my knees and salute, so what. ”

"It's my grandmother who is looking down on Bao'er." The old lady patted her hand, "Whether a woman is happy or not has a certain relationship with the identity of her in-laws, but it is not absolute. Some of my grandmother's little sisters are well married, but I've always felt happy to be married to your grandfather. Even if he left early. ”

Wang Ronghe leaned gently on his grandmother. She had also seriously thought about her marriage. How can a woman who has been educated in monogamy face the system of polygamy, and various results have been repeatedly deduced, and I have been really distressed for a long time. It's always more difficult not to marry than to marry, and marrying someone is a must. Fortunately, time has passed, she has seen a lot, and she also knows that there are people who are in love with their husbands and have no concubines, and there are also people who are separated from their husbands and respect each other like ice and have never had sex with each other.

As long as you choose a partner to live with and don't have hope for love, you can still spend your life in peace. Wang Ronghe had already made a decision, it was a blessing to be able to meet it, and he had to keep a normal heart if he didn't meet it.

Zeng brought the fabric to see Wang Ronghe, and saw that she should still read and read, and she should practice calligraphy, and there was no change in mood at all, "I am really convinced of my sister's temperament." ”

"Why did my sister-in-law come here?" Wang Ronghe stood up to greet him.

"Last year, someone gave me a water-blue silk yarn, and I can't wear this bright color now, so I sent it to you." Zeng said, "My embroidery lady is empty, but I want to call you to help?" ”

"My sister-in-law is still young, why do you frame yourself in the rules, obviously she is still a delicate flower, who said that she can't wear bright colors." Wang Ronghe said with a smile. "I appreciate my sister-in-law's kindness, but I don't want to make new clothes."

"Go to the Marquis Wuqing's Mansion for a banquet, don't you make new clothes?" Tsang said, "Will it be slack?

"What's so bad about this, it's really rude to call someone you don't know to your home for a banquet without a head. If it weren't for Empress Dowager Li's mother's family, she wouldn't be offended. It's rare for me to give her face, and I've long been sick. Wang Ronghe beckoned the girl to come closer with the fabric and touched the material, "This color, this fabric, it is best to make a summer dress." Sister-in-law, let's take it back, if you don't use it yourself, it's cool to make a small shirt for Qing'er. ”

"What about him, can I get what I took back? Sister, this is not stumbling on me. Zeng said, "Although it is rude, what does Xu mean by the Empress Dowager Li in the palace?" So it is necessary to go. ”

"yes." Wang Ronghe said. "Xiaomin can't help himself."

Wang Ronghe took the cloth and asked people to find a set of blue and white porcelain from the warehouse, "I heard that my sister-in-law likes blue and white porcelain, this is still the second brother who went to Jiangxi to study, bought a lot of porcelain in that famous place, and gave a set of blue and white peony, I don't love blue and white, I have been collecting it, and my sister-in-law does not dislike it, so I will take it back." ”

"I came to deliver things and took a lot of them back, and those who don't know think I'm taking advantage of my sister-in-law." Zeng said with a smile.

"My sister-in-law's heart and my heart are open, and I'm afraid of what others will say." Wang Ronghe said.

Sun is a quiet character, is the daughter of Wang Zaiwu's teacher, married for only a few months, everywhere revealing the restraint of the new daughter-in-law, Wang Zaiwu came back from outside, and saw his daughter-in-law holding the treasury book and frowned, "What's the matter, who bothered you?" ”

Sun sat down and let Wang Zaiwu sit beside her, "It's not Mrs. Wuqinghou's post, I see that everyone is in full swing to prepare, but my mother didn't want to prepare for new clothes, so I just wanted to see what I could do to help my eldest sister." But she has never paid attention to clothing and jewelry, and there are many books and four treasures in the dowry.

"Big sister, don't worry, she has a lot of good things, besides, grandmother." Wang Zaiwu said.

"It's my heart." Sun said, "I am also a sister-in-law, and I am very envious of seeing my sister-in-law and my eldest sister so close." ”

"Sister-in-law, I've been with my sister for a long time." Wang Zaiwu said, seeing that the Sun family is even lower, yes, the eldest sister can't be at home all the time, and the Sun family can't get along with Ronghe for a long time.

"It's your heart after all, even if you bring a bowl of white water, you will enjoy it like honey." Wang Zaiwu said. His sister is the world's number one confidant.

"Can you still be serious?" Sun glared at him. My sister-in-law went with a good fabric, did she bring a bowl of water?

"Hey, don't you like Hexiang?" Wang Zaiwu said, "Go to her with spices, maybe she will play with you." ”

"Will my sister also be fragrant?" Sun's eyes lit up.

"She won't." "But she should like it." ”

In the end, Sun was nervous and took a pill of incense that he had together, and after greetings, Sun took out a small brocade box, "I don't have anything good, a few years ago, I mixed a pill of Mrs. Stamen's Yaxiang according to the recipe, I smell not bad, but I haven't smelled the serious Mrs. Stamen's Yaxiang, I don't know if it's that smell." Sun said softly.

"Mrs. Blossom Yaxiang, this is a lost incense recipe." Wang Ronghe said, took the brocade box and opened it, there was a thumb-sized black core incense pill inside, Wang Ronghe made a thin taste on the tip of his nose, "The second sister-in-law is so powerful." This one smells good. ”

"If you don't know anything, there is still a rough incense recipe, and the remaining points will be slowly grinded and tried slowly." Sun was a little embarrassed to be praised, "I used to love to ponder incense recipes when I had nothing to do in the boudoir. It's a pity that now the incense path has declined, and many incense recipes have been lost. I can only collect incense recipes on the market with all my heart. ”

Wang Ronghe smelled and smelled, and was reluctant to put it down. "The second sister-in-law doesn't have to mind, think about the incense recipes that used to be mixed with various mansions, how can there be the convenience of collecting if you want to collect now. Besides, if the second sister-in-law can match the unique incense in this world, the incense recipe can also be passed on to the world. ”

Sun covered his mouth and smiled, "Then I'm not that powerful." ”

"The second sister-in-law is already very powerful. If the second sister-in-law is free, can I go to learn incense from the second sister-in-law? Wang Rong said with anticipation, Sun now sighs at the decline of incense, and after a few hundred years, not to mention the decline, the world is at a loss to even mention it, the fragrance, just buy it directly, and make it yourself, neurosis.

But the unique incense that only belongs to oneself is really inexplicably tempting for women.

"I'll be fine when your second brother goes out." Sun said. "My sister likes it, I'll come to my sister tomorrow with spices."

"My sister-in-law treats me so well." Wang Ronghe said.

When Sun left, Wang Ronghe asked someone to send a set of ink inkstones, Sun pushed and said no, Wang Ronghe said, "It's not a good thing, sister-in-law doesn't want to dislike me." Sun could only take it back, and when he went back, he saw that it was all good ink, and said to Wang Zaiwu, "Giving gifts to my sister will be more stressful in the future." ”

"You just bring a bowl of white water over, and my sister will give this as a gift in return." Wang Zaiwu said, "Who told her to know that we are both good for this?" ”
