Chapter 90 Return, choose a concubine

In the Chu system, the annual festival is the New Year's Day, Lantern Festival, and Winter Solstice. Every three major festivals, in addition to one day of vacation, the emperor often gives another three to ten days off. In addition, festivals such as the Mid-Autumn Festival and the Dragon Boat Festival are given all kinds of things according to the rules, but they are not yet to the point of celebrating the whole world. And once held every year the longevity festival, the thousand autumn festival and the heavenly holy festival celebrations, because today's emperor Yongxi has always been thrifty, the emperor's longevity festival and the queen's thousand autumn festival are often free of the court, and the queen mother has died a few years ago, the heavenly holy festival is gone, so these three holy festivals have not been held for many years.

Because of this, this year's Qianqiu Festival is no longer as free of congratulations as it is all year round, and the queen is even more to pass on the mansions of all the nobles, and the birthday gifts are not allowed to be extravagant, but also to compare the craftsmanship of the daughters of the mansions, and the top and bottom are naturally all tightened. said that it was not allowed to be extravagant, but it was not said that it was not allowed to be tempted by the eyes and scheming, who did not work these two words. On the day before the Thousand Autumn Festival, every family is ready to stop, even the words to be said tomorrow. It's all dotted.

On the afternoon of 23 February, the Yangning Marquis Mansion had already sent a slave to sweep the streets, and then they looked at the two ends of the street, so when the group of five or six cars and twenty or thirty followers turned in, naturally there were no outsiders and passers-by to disturb them. A car entered through the West Corner Gate, bypassed the shadow wall, walked a stone's throw along the Yongdao, and turned another corner before landing in front of the Hanging Flower Gate. Mrs. Ma, who had been waiting here for a long time, and Mrs. Xu stepped forward to greet her with her children, but she saw the green calyx jade peony stepping on the pedal in front of her head, followed by Chen Lan. After landing, Chen Lan turned around, and only then did he help Zhu out of the car.

"The old lady has been recuperating in Zhuangzi for so many days, and her complexion is really much better." Mrs. Xu looked at Zhu's complexion, saw that her face was full of red light, her eyes were bright, and she seemed to be in a very good mood, she couldn't help but secretly wonder, and after greeting her, she looked at Chen Lan and said with a smile, "Lan'er is really capable, not only the old lady takes care of it well, but I heard that the Zhuangzi is also well taken care of." ”

Mrs. Ma remembered that Chen Yun and Chen Xi were sent back together, but Chen Lan and Chen Yan stayed in Zhuangzi safely, so naturally they were full of happiness, so she said with a smile: "What the third brother and sister said is that this time the three girls are really meritorious." ”

Two daughters-in-law and one snarky. A weak man, Zhu naturally knows everything, at this time he smiled faintly, and when she saw Chen Yan also coming up to hold her hand, she smiled and said: "In Zhuangzi for so many days, not only me, but also Yan'er has trained his muscles and bones to be strong, and he is also a lot stronger." I was only busy with three girls, one was the tenants who were oppressed by the traitors and couldn't even get by, and the other had to take care of my old wife and Yan'er, and I was almost so busy that my feet didn't touch the ground. Fortunately, those who can work hard, and it is not in vain. ”

Listening to Zhu's mouth, Chen Lan was full of praise, and the other grandchildren and granddaughters behind him also had different faces. Chen Bing wanted to speak angrily, but was grabbed by Zhu's mother's arm, and could only close his mouth in hatred; Chen Yun lowered his head, and because he had applied more fat powder on his face, it looked very unnatural; Chen Xi was a lot haggard, with an absent-minded expression. As for Chen Qing and Chen Han, both of them are watching their noses and noses, as if whatever outsiders say has nothing to do with them.

Zhu entered through the weeping flower gate, and a servant woman carried the sedan chair that had been prepared a long time ago. She waved her hand and said, "I don't need this, I can walk on my legs and feet, and I can't hold it up after walking a few steps, and it's not a rainy or snowy day." ”

"The good health of the old lady is a blessing from top to bottom." Chen Lan replied with a smile, but he missed the time in Anyuan in his heart.

Since the pair of sisters Chen Yun and Chen Xi were packed and sent back, and the biggest trouble in Zhuangzi had passed, Chen Lan finally lived a comfortable life in peace for a few days. The shoes were remade, but this time it was Hongluo and Yun'er who helped to collect the soles, and she put some effort into the uppers, which looked more luxurious than before.

In addition to these needlework, she also ordered a small kitchen to be set up in the Linbo Pavilion, and transferred a woman from a village with good cooking skills to come in to give the original cook Sister-in-law Cui, in addition to Zhu's health and medicinal diet, which is all kinds of soup specially prepared for Chen Yan, she herself made a few kinds of fruit wine, although she was busy for a few days, but she felt that the whole person was relaxed.

After all, the air in the countryside is originally good, and once the depression is gone, how can the three grandparents and grandchildren not be red-faced?

When I entered the heavy hall in front of the Tatexiang Courtyard, there was a girl who had been left behind and kowtowed, but there was no Mother Zheng. Mrs. Ma looked around and had nothing to say: "The news that the old lady is coming back has already been informed of Mother Zheng, and I felt strange when I didn't see Mother Zheng when I was waiting at the door just now, why is there still no one at the moment?" Reasoning, she shouldn't have gone out. ”

Mrs. Xu, who was on the side, saw Zhu's indifferent look, so she smiled and said: "Mother Zheng has a lot of things to take care of for the old lady, maybe there is something urgent to do at this time, and she didn't rush back for a while......"

"The third brother and sister are really joking, what is more important than the old lady coming back?"

When I was in Anyuan, no one was noisy in my ears, but now I can hear the words of the gun and the stick. Zhu felt impatient, so he squeezed Chen Lan's hand. Chen Lan ignored the words of the two aunts, and sped a few steps to help Zhu into the main room. After helping Zhu sit down on the kang in the East Warm Pavilion, she personally took the tea served by the girl on the side and brought it over.

Just after sneering a few words outside, seeing that Mrs. Xu played a good Tai Chi, Mrs. Ma was not angry, and as soon as she entered the warm pavilion at this time, she took off the lotus-blue gray squirrel cloak on her body and threw it to Mother Zhu, and sat on the first chair on the left. When she was about to open her mouth, Mrs. Xu rushed forward and said with a smile: "To be honest, I have been looking forward to the old lady's return, but you have survived until the last day." Tomorrow is the Queen's Thousand Autumn Festival, we are young, we haven't been a few times, if you show cowardice at that time, it will be really embarrassing, and you have to explain the important place. ”

Mrs. Ma has always looked down on Mrs. Xu, who was sick for most of the year before, but now when she saw her suddenly cheering up to take care of housekeeping, she was very angry in her heart. As soon as Chen Ying came back, she won a big victory, and almost made the Zhu family angry, which was happy to see at the time, but it was shocking when I thought about it afterwards. So, when I picked up the old lady for the first time, I didn't pick people up. After the second time, she took Chen Yun back with a stomach and scolded the concubine fiercely, and she discussed with Chen Jiu and his wife for a long time, and finally felt that this was the old lady's plan to retreat, so naturally she only cared about sending people to Zhuangzi to send things, and carefully paid attention to the movements of the third room.

So, seeing that Mrs. Xu was selling well at this time, she said with a smile: "What the third brother and sister said is that if the old lady doesn't come back, our family will not have a backbone." It was the third brother and the third brother and sister, who could have taken advantage of the good weather to move to Qingxi Residence. Now it has to be delayed. ”

As soon as the three words of Qingxi Ju came out, the room was suddenly silent. Of course, Chen Lan knew that during the Chinese New Year earlier, the Zhu family had opened his mouth and asked the second room family to move to Qingxi Juzhong to live, but he didn't expect that later a series of incidents would occur, and the second room lost the title and the third room inherited the title, and this matter was delayed indefinitely. Now that Mrs. Ma has brought up this matter again, in addition to being resentful, it is more meaningful to fan the flames.

Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, Mrs. Xu hurriedly explained: "Old lady, don't listen to the second sister-in-law's jokes, the old man also said before that this Qingxi residence has been empty, and the objects in it are almost moldy, so it is better to take it out and dry it, and then ask someone to rest and recuperate, and ask the old lady to move in as usual." After all, it's an old place where I've lived for decades, and the sun is better than here in Tateka-in. ”

Seeing Mrs. Ma and Mrs. Xu, Zhu only smiled and didn't make a sound, but Chen Lan felt a little bored, and said with a face full ......of embarrassment: "Old lady, the car has been done for a long time today, and I am a little dizzy."

"If you don't say it, I forgot, you squeezed into my car and served tea and water, kneaded and beaten, and served my old woman comfortably, but I was tired. Let's go back to our room and rest, and when we come in the evening, we'll talk about tomorrow. By the way, Yan'er sent your sister back. ”

Chen Yan couldn't wait for this, and as soon as Zhu opened his mouth to allow it, he immediately jumped down and diligently helped Chen Lan to go out. When the two sisters and brothers go out, they can still hear the cynicism of you and me, but they don't know who will have the upper hand in the end. Because when he entered the hall before, Chen Lan sent Yun'er to go back with Su Mu Pepper first. All that awaits here is red snails and sandalwood dewdrops. After a few people went out of the hall, they happened to meet Zheng's mother who came back in a hurry.

"Third Miss, Fourth Young Master!" Although Mother Zheng was in a hurry, she still immediately stepped forward to salute and said with a smile, "The old lady has sent letters back several times, and she has said that she is comfortable living there, which finally reassures us." ”

"Just now, the second aunt also said that Mother Zheng doesn't know where to go, where are you coming back?" Chen Lan deliberately asked such a question, and when he saw Zheng's mother hesitating, he diverted the topic and said, "I was a little dizzy after sitting in the car for a long time, so the old lady specially asked the fourth brother to send me back." ”

"That's a good rest, although it is close to return to Beijing from Tongzhou, it will take more than half a day." Mother Zheng said this, seeing that there were only a few people in this room, she added another sentence after a deep groan, "Tomorrow is the Queen's Thousand Autumn Festival, and the old lady and the second lady and the third lady will leave the palace early in the morning to pay respects." Although it is said that the young ladies have never been summoned, it is inevitable that there will be a case, and the third lady must be prepared after she goes back. ”

Knowing that Zheng's mother would never say such a useless word, so when she returned to the Splendid Pavilion, Chen Lan summoned Qin Fang and Ruixue Fennel to inquire about what happened during her absence. Sure enough, after listening to Qin Fang's words, her heart suddenly hung in the air.

"Miss, now there is a lot of rumor outside, saying that the queen's examination of the craftsmanship of the daughters of each family this time is to choose a concubine for the kings!"
