Chapter 204: Scenery (Part II)
At the moment when there is no owner in the middle palace and the storage position is vacant, the four concubines, concubines, concubines, concubines, and virtuous concubines are undoubtedly the closest people to the position of the mother of the country. Now, all four of them have sent someone to say hello, and after the guests in the room looked at each other for a moment, those kind words immediately rushed towards today's master as if they didn't want money, until four big eunuchs of similar clothes came into the house with a small fireman with a tray, and the people were quiet.
"The concubine gave a pair of gold and jade full of longevity and wealth, and the lord of Yixing was happy to get a righteous daughter"
"The lady concubine gave the South China Sea pearl and green leaf crown, and the lord of Yixing was happy to get a righteous daughter"
"Concubine De Niangniang gave a colorful Yingluo, and the county lord of Yixing was happy to get a righteous daughter"
"The virtuous concubine gave a purple brocade sachet, and the county lord of Yixing was happy to get a righteous daughter"
Although this series of awards was given by the county lord of He Yixing, everyone knew that these benefits were none other than Chen Lan's receipts. Seeing that the county lord of Yixing led Chen Lan forward to thank him with a spring breeze, and asked her to go to the back and put on all these things, there were few people whispering in twos and threes.
"What is called good fate, this is such a useless father, but in an instant his daughter is so beautiful"
"Where is her scenery, not looking at the face of the county lord of Yixing? If it weren't for the county lord's repeated resignations, she would have been a princess a long time ago, and now what are these things, the four ladies don't all point to the seat of the middle palace, otherwise the princesses may not be able to look at them, let alone the county lord? ”
"Not necessarily all four. At least Concubine De and Concubine Xian have no sons, and the other has only a stupid son, so there is really little hope, but the concubine and concubine are very promising. Didn't you see that what the two of them gave was the most conspicuous? ”
While the people in front were discussing, Chen Lan was putting on those hats on the back. I have to say that these are all good things, the pearls used in the pearl crown are almost all the size of one color, the color is bright and the beads are round, it is indeed the best grade, and the gold used in the gold is second, and the jade inlay technology on it is far better than the collar she just got from the eldest princess Longyou. And Concubine De's colorful Yingluo and Concubine Xian's purple brocade sachet are more intentional than valuable, and things are beautiful and beautiful, but they are not precious.
The concubine and concubine Shu probably wanted to take today's opportunity to get close to the lord of Yixing County, and by the way, they also expressed their respect for the late queen - after all, she had accompanied the queen in Kunning Palace for a while.
Before she could get out of the room, another voice came from outside, saying that Princess Jin had sent someone to send a congratulatory gift. This time, she was not asked to thank her, but a mother personally sent it in, it was a complete set of jade combs, delicate and chic. After she stood up and thanked her, the mother saw that everyone on the left and right had retreated some distance, so she whispered.
The princess asked the little one to say to the third lady that now that the third miss has worked hard, she is really happy to be a sister, but she has to inquire about the reward of the palace lady before she dares to send a congratulatory gift. If you have anything else, just ask the third lady to say a few good words for Her Royal Highness in front of the county lord for the sake of the old lady, and she is grateful. ”
Say good things for King Jin?
Chen Lan's eyes darkened, and then he nodded, but asked the mother again: "The old lady has always been extremely concerned about the princess, I don't know that His Royal Highness the King of Jin has returned, is the princess okay now?" ”
"Naturally." The mother smiled, and the wrinkles on her face stretched a lot, "Now that the truth about the princess being framed has been revealed, His Royal Highness the King of Jin has regretted it at the beginning, and after returning home, he has been quite concerned about the princess, but whenever he has time, he will accompany him." None of the bewitching ladies and concubines in the palace ever came close."
Seeing the happy look on the mother's face, Chen Lan also showed a happy look and sent the mother out with a smile. When the curtain was lowered again, cutting off the hustle and bustle outside, she sat down in front of the dressing table again and saw Hongluo coming up to serve, and then she sighed softly.
When Chen Lan, who was dressed up in a new costume, reappeared in the main hall, he immediately attracted a lot of compliments and admiration. Even Zhu Shi couldn't help but light up his eyes when he looked at the brilliant appearance of the colorful embroidery, and smiled at Jiang Shi, who had just called him to sit next to him: "Sure enough, people want clothes, she likes to face the sky on weekdays, and this jewelry and the like are often pressed to the bottom of the box, but now when she dresses up, it is really different Young girl's family, this is how it should be."
"When I was young, I always had one or two things I loved, and she was really too simple before"
As soon as it was delayed, the time for the banquet was naturally late, so the people below had already hurried to serve a round of tea and snacks. At this time, they crowded to the back hall for a banquet, but they didn't arrange any seats, only sat together according to the friendship of each family, and each person was a few tall in front of him, and there were all kinds of dishes in the four boxes. If it weren't for the fact that the county lord of Yixing thought that it would not be long after the 100th day of the national funeral, and he didn't invite the troupe this time, the atmosphere would have been twice as lively.
Even so, there was a lot of laughter in the room. The eldest princess of Longyou pretended to tell a joke seriously, and for a while many people leaned back and fell back with laughter; The county lord of Qingyuan talked about a parrot that could recognize people sent by her husband's doorman, and her colorful narration attracted an amazement; Several servants raised by the Korean government performed a few good juggling tricks, which won full applause and rich rewards...... In short, when it was time for Gao Ji to withdraw and deliver the tea, only a few people said goodbye early, and most of them still sat there and did not leave. As for the people who left quietly, there was naturally Mrs. Lin.
Chen Lan and Zhang Huixin sat on the side of the county lord of Yixing on the left and right, like their own sisters. Only others couldn't see that Zhang Huixin was moving around, and he had long wanted to pull Chen Lan outside to play. Finally, someone who was sitting on pins and needles couldn't stand the countless flattery, and Huo Di stood up. Chen Lan next to him stretched out his hand and couldn't grab her hand, but he saw Zhang Huixin standing out from the crowd of guests sitting in the hall and standing unusually straight.
"Huixin, what are you doing here?"
As soon as the county lord of Yixing asked, there was a sudden commotion outside, and then the door curtain moved, and it was Zhao's mother, who was left outside to take care of her, into the house. She hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, and then said steadily: "County Lord, the royal eunuch Father-in-law Xia is here, saying that there is a will to be announced."
When a word came out, the hall was immediately silent. The county lord of Yixing stood up first, and said with a smile that he asked the ladies to wait in the house, and then pulled up Zhang Huixin, and looked at the Korean duchess Chen. Chen hurriedly greeted his daughter-in-law Yin, and several female relatives of the Korean government went out of the house together. Chen Lan, who stayed there, got up and sat down beside the Zhu family, and said in a low voice: "Sister Huixin is about to get married, and she mentioned it last time, about the emperor will make her the county lord to show her special kindness." ”
"I see." Zhu suddenly realized, and smiled at Jiang again, "Don't laugh at me for being cowardly, Mrs. Tai is now stunned when I hear the two words of will." ”
Hearing this, Jiang immediately shook his head: "Where is the old lady's words, Jun Enyu and thunder, after all, it is impossible to say, and it is right to be in awe." ”
Chen Lan saw that his explanation had an effect, so he sat next to him and thought about how to try to take off these heavy jewelry first. But she asked for permission from the Zhu family to quietly stand up and prepare to go to the back, and someone hurried into the house, but went straight to her side. It was also a mother who came, and she didn't have time to salute and said bluntly: "Third Miss, go out with the little one, Xia Gonggong is just waiting." ”
At this moment, not to mention that Chen Lan was taken aback, all the people in the room who heard this were very surprised. It's just that this is not the time to get to the bottom of it, Chen Lan thought for a moment, so he hurriedly took off those jewelry and gave them to the Zhu family for safekeeping, and then hurriedly went out with the mother. When she arrived at the Baoqing Hall, the main hall of the Korean Mansion, she really saw the imperial eunuch Xia standing there with a smile, and a little eunuch behind her was holding the edict with a solemn face.
"Now the people are finally here"
When Chen Lan heard Eunuch Xia say this, he suddenly became even more puzzled, but when he saw the county lord of Yixing gesturing towards him, and saw that several men, including the prince Zhang Jiong, were also here, so he stood at the end with Zhang Huixin. After bowing down, he only heard the voice of the eunuch Xia from above.
"The eldest daughter and second daughter of the county lord of Yixing, Ziling Guilu, training the Lan Palace. Six elements of Zhaoxuan, four virtues are prepared. The eldest daughter was named the county lord of Lin'an, and the second daughter was the county lord of Haining. ”
After this decree was recited, everyone kneeling on the ground was stunned, even the county lord of Yixing, not to mention the Korean duchess Chen. This doesn't even mention the name, it is the eldest daughter and the second daughter, who doesn't know that the county lord of Yixing only has a baby daughter? When did such a big event as a seal turn out to be such a child's play?
However, Eunuch Xia didn't have the slightest meaning to explain, stepped forward with a smile and helped the county lord of Yixing, took the edict from the little eunuch, solemnly handed it over, and said hello again, and then left without even drinking a sip of tea. In such a large group of dumbfounded people, the result was that Zhang Huixin reacted faster, and as soon as the people left, they jumped up in three or two steps and pulled Chen Lan.
"Good sister, now we will really become sisters"
This...... This is also outrageous
Chen Lan hadn't recovered from that huge shock, but when she saw that the county lord of Yixing also had an unexpected look, she knew that this was not part of the predetermined script, but the meaning of the emperor alone. But even so, she was still a little speechless, and it took a long time to squeeze out a smile to Zhang Huixin.
And Chen saw that the county lord of Yixing offered the edict to the case that had just been prepared on the side, and finally couldn't help but say: "The emperor really loves the house and Wu, this will seal the two county lords of the opposite sex, and it is the first time that the world has been opened."
At this moment, the county lord of Yixing had already vaguely guessed that this sudden decree might also have his own explicit instructions to the emperor. It's just that this so-called reward is really too much fanfare. However, when she heard Chen's words, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, and immediately said unhurriedly: "Sister-in-law, don't forget, everything starts with someone, and this has become the system and precedent."
