Chapter 7: Stunning
"If I need to find you to make up for my homework in the future, I will go over the wall to find you like before, it will be more troublesome to send messages." Fenghua proposed.
Hearing the words, he was speechless.
In Jiangnan, Gu Xia's two doors were next to each other, but Fenghua still didn't bother to knock on the door, but went directly over the wall.
At first, Qingge was scared enough, thinking that he had entered the villain, and over time, he became accustomed to it.
Qinge will not climb over the wall, and he has also thought of a way to find Fenghua, so he will play the piano under the courtyard wall.
But the capital is not as good as the south of the Yangtze River, not only the walls of every house are heightened, but there are also guards patrolling outside the house.
"When you are familiar with the capital, let's see how to climb over the wall. Now that you are not familiar with life, it is better to send Meiying to send a letter. ”
"Okay." Fenghua obediently agreed, she knew that Qinge was the most cautious, and there would be no mistakes in doing things.
After a full meal, Fenghua said contentedly: "You must be familiar with the capital, take me around?" ”
Qinge looked at the elegance of the man's dress, and said with a smile: "If I go out with you, the people in the capital will spread it tomorrow, Xia Qingge is shameless, and the blue sky and the day are pulling and pulling with the man, and he will receive it privately!" ”
"The people in the capital are so boring!" Graceful and wilting.
"In the future, there will be more opportunities to meet. I went out under the pretext of selling snacks, and it was time to go back, because I would be pinched by the people in the house until it was too late. ”
"Well, then you beware." Fenghua reluctantly said goodbye to the song.
Fenghua has long heard that Miss Jingcheng has to report when she goes out, what she does when she goes out, and who she goes out with, and asks for approval. At first, I thought it was ridiculous, but I didn't think it was.
In the past, the people of Dayan were civilized, and women were more free to marry, and they could even join the army.
Now it's also strange, although there is no explicit order, but the woman not only does not join the army, but also begins to pay attention to "the words of the parents, the appointment of the matchmaker", and even go out is restricted.
In particular, the famous ladies and nobles are all proud of their weakness, but the women of the military general's family are despised, which is really the trend of the world!
On this day, the old lady entered the palace at noon and thanked the queen.
After returning home at dusk, Fenghua saw that her grandmother's expression was a little sad, and asked worriedly, "Grandmother, what's wrong with you?" But the queen has made things difficult for you? ”
"The Queen Mother is not that kind of person." The old lady shook her head slowly.
Fenghua thought about some of the things that Qinge said today, and asked, "Does the queen want us to stand on her side?" I went out to see Qinge today, and she told me about the situation in the capital, and the sixth prince was fighting the crown prince for the throne. ”
The old lady sighed slightly, "The generals are headed by the Ning family, the queen is the daughter of the Ning family, and your grandfather and I are brought out by the father-in-law of the country, if she speaks, we are indeed embarrassed, but she did not open this mouth, and there is no contention in and out of the words." ”
"Why?" Fenghua was puzzled. According to the song, everyone in Beijing knows that the two parties are fighting, but how can it be said that the queen has no intention of fighting?
"I don't know the reason for this, the queen only told me that it was her responsibility to lose the Manchu generals." The old lady looked into the distance, as if reminiscing, "I remember that the emperor and queen were very affectionate back then, and they gave birth to the first prince soon after marriage. Later, His Majesty made a great effort to raise the issue on the grounds that the boundary was insufficient, and the queen also took the lead in demonstrating and cooperating with the handover of the Ning family's military power. I never thought that a few years later, the current concubine entered the palace and favored the harem; Then the first prince died, his father and brother were lost, the emperor and queen lost harmony, the queen took the current prince to escape the world, and the court began to change dramatically. ”
Fenghua sighed when she heard it, and she didn't know what to say.
But who is most beneficial to the military power in the northwest?
Suddenly receiving such a huge amount of information, Fenghua thought at first that he could see the face of the capital clearly, but after thinking deeply, he realized that he could see everything clearly.
If it comes, it will be safe. She reassured herself that things would eventually fall through.
Two days later, the families in Beijing received invitations from the palace, which was an autumn banquet set up by the noble concubine, and the Gu Mansion was no exception.
For this autumn banquet, Mei Ying was probably the most excited person in the Gu Mansion, and she also went to Ruyi Mansion several times to buy.
On the day of the banquet, just after noon, Fenghua was pulled by Mei Ying to sit in front of the bronze mirror and dress up, "Miss, do you know why the concubine has a banquet?" ”
"It is said that it is like this every year, it is about the loneliness of the deep palace, please have a lively meal." Fenghua doesn't care about the way.
This answer is irrelevant, Mei Ying was about to shake her head, but she felt that it made sense, so she didn't play a dumb riddle and said: "There is something special about this time, it is said that the concubine Niangniang wants to choose a concubine for the sixth prince!" ”
"Oh, that's none of my business." Fenghua is still interested in playing with Zhu Hai at hand.
"No, it's Miss's first appearance! Which of these two dresses do you like? Mei Ying held a gorgeous light leno skirt in each hand for Feng Hua to choose.
Fenghua looked at these two "troublesome" clothes and frowned, "Except for the different colors, is there anything different?" ”
"You see, a skirt is dragging on the ground, looking graceful and beautiful......"
"There's no more convenient one?" Fenghua hurriedly interrupted Mei Ying.
"This floor-sweeping dress is beautiful, but will I step on the skirt and be ashamed of myself?" Fenghua is seriously making excuses.
Mei Ying put away her floor-length skirt, regretting that she had asked her young lady to choose what dress, and then found a simple moon white gold-rimmed shirt and skirt for Fenghua to change into, and groomed it.
After about two quarters of an hour, Fenghua finally heard Mei Ying say "Okay", so she yawned a lot, stood up with a big grin, and moved her shoulders.
"Miss, look!" Mei Ying happily held the bronze mirror in front of Fenghua.
I saw that the person in the mirror had a simple bun on the top of his head, a few beaded flowers in his hair, and a slightly pink face was white and red, which made his eyes look forward to it.
Looking at the well-dressed woman in the mirror, Fenghua felt a little strange.
When she was young, she occasionally dressed up so carefully, but after she was married, she dressed up as a man and entered the army, and she no longer had time to care about her appearance.
It's really a person who relies on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, and Fenghua actually understands why the nobles are so fond of Ruyi Lou.
Originally, Lao Taijun and Fenghua were invited to the post, but Tai Laojun's legs and feet were inconvenient, so Fenghua could only enter the palace by himself.
Fortunately, she was considerate and invited her to wait at the palace gate.
On this day, a long dress of green gauze is singing, as ethereal as a fairy; And Gu Fenghua's simple dress looks very dusty in a crowd of complicated clothes.
There is no shortage of beauties in Beijing, either elegant or coquettish. Two years ago, Xia Tingge returned to Beijing, which has made people see the perfect combination of elegance and coquettishness. If you sing with all the noble women, it is the difference between the moonlight and the starlight.
However, the elegance is completely different, she has a heroic spirit and clarity that is rare for a woman, so she is more like the sun, radiant, and beautiful.
The two entered the hall arm in arm, attracting countless envious and jealous glances.
"Look, the first beauty in the capital is here!"
"Hey, where is the woman next to Xia Tiange?"
"When did there be such a beauty in Jingzhong?"
"Those who are with Xia Tingge are really foxes."
Fenghua chatted with Qingge, "I heard that today is the concubine who chooses the concubine for the sixth prince, do you still need to choose?" Who can compare to our songs? ”
"The concubine and her father agreed to get married, and promised the position of a side concubine, and today I specially took a look at my eldest sister." Xia Qingge smiled contemptuously, "Concubine Fang, I'm not rare." ”
"Is that the sister who killed you when you were a child?"
