Chapter 231: Leaf Cards
"What Niangniang said is that the two of us took the liberty to disturb Niangniang." Wei Zhaoyi politely apologized.
Lu Yuning shook his head and said, "Wei Zhaoyi is polite, I'm idle and idle, it's a good thing that you can come and talk to me." ”
When Chen Zhaoyi heard this, her eyes lit up, and she said with a smile: "Niangniang doesn't dislike the two concubines to disturb her, and the two concubines often come to talk to Niangniang to relieve boredom in the future." ”
Lu Yuning still likes Chen Zhaoyi's fast-talking personality, she smiled and nodded: "Welcome at any time." ”
"The two concubines will have to come to disturb them often in the future." After Chen Zhaoyi finished speaking, she said with a smile: "If I had known that you were so easy to get along with, the two concubines would have come to the door to disturb you." ”
Lu Yuning smiled and said, "It's not too late to know now." ”
"That's what the mother said." Chen Zhaoyi nodded and said, "In the future, if the mother wants to have nothing to do, she can find her concubine and Sister Wei to play the leaf card together." ”
"Playing the leaf card?" Lu Yuning was a little surprised.
Wei Zhaoyi looked at Lu Yuning's surprised expression and explained with some embarrassment: "Please don't be surprised, it's Sister Chen, she takes it for granted." ”
"The two concubines have nothing else to do on weekdays, so they can only play leaf cards with the palace maids, do needlework to kill time, Niangniang has a lot of things on weekdays, not only to match the emperor, but also to take care of the four princesses, I don't think I have time to play this."
Chen Zhaoyi reacted at this time, and hurriedly said: "What Sister Wei said is that the concubine is not a brain, and please don't blame the mother, the leaf brand, the horse hanging, and other things are used by some elderly people to be bored on weekdays, and the mother is now at the age of tricks, so she definitely doesn't play this." ”
Lu Yuning shook his head and said: "Actually, I'm quite interested in the leaf card, but I just can't play it." ”
In the past, when they were in the Hou Mansion, neither the Lin family nor the Tao family had a hobby of playing leaf cards, and Lu Yuning naturally had no contact with leaf cards.
When Wei Zhaoyi heard this, he opened his mouth and was about to say a few words of flattery and politeness, but Chen Zhaoyi had already opened his mouth with a smile: "Actually, the leaf card is very simple, if the mother wants to learn, the two concubines can teach the mother." ”
Lu Yuning nodded and said, "Okay, then we will have time to play together in the future." ”
When Wei Zhaoyi saw Lu Yuning say this, she chose to shut up and watched Chen Zhaoyi and Lu Yuning chat.
Chen Zhaoyi and Wei Zhaoyi stayed in Qingxi Pavilion for more than an hour before leaving, and when they left, Chen Zhaoyi and Lu Yuning also made an appointment to play leaf cards together tomorrow.
Lu Yuning hadn't gotten along with Chen Zhaoyi and Wei Zhaoyi much before, but from this time Lu Yuning found that Chen Zhaoyi had a more straightforward personality and Wei Zhaoyi had a more careful personality, but the only thing was that neither of them seemed to be the kind of scheming people.
It's still relatively easy and pleasant to associate with such people.
Therefore, Lu Yuning also agreed to Chen Zhaoyi's invitation.
However, although Lu Yuning agreed to Chen Zhaoyi, the leaf card on the second day of their second day was still not played.
Because the Queen Mother doesn't know when she asked people to invite Hong Fuban, tomorrow the Queen Mother will listen to the play in Yanyulou.
The Queen Mother can't listen to the play by herself, so what's the point, they, the harem concubines, including the noble ladies who came to the summer resort this time, are all going to accompany them.
After Lu Yuning got up early to see off Luo Chengjing, after a simple breakfast, she took the fourth princess to greet the Queen Mother as before.
The Queen Mother looked at the four princesses who turned over neatly beside her, and said to Lu Yuning with a smile: "It is inevitable to be noisy when singing, the fourth princess is still young now, don't take her with you when you listen to the play, so as not to be startled by the sound of gongs and drums." ”
When Lu Yuning heard this, she said to the Queen Mother with a grateful face: "It's still the Queen Mother, you love Chun'er, and think about her everywhere, if you don't say it, the concubines didn't think of this." ”
The Queen Mother was very useful to Lu Yuning's compliments, and she smiled: "You are still young, it is inevitable that there will be unexpected times, and when you have more experience in the future, you will naturally know everything and think of it." ”
Lu Yuning nodded, and said to the Queen Mother with a smile: "What the Queen Mother said is that the Queen Mother will have to mention more concubines in the future." ”
The Queen Mother waved her hand and said with a smile: "You don't need to mention anything, you can add two more younger brothers or sisters for our Chun'er." ”
Lu Yuning blushed when she heard the Queen Mother's words, and lowered her head embarrassedly.
The Queen Mother looked at Lu Yuning's shy appearance and wanted to tease her, but Laifu walked in from outside and told the Queen Mother that the Hongfu class over there in Yanyu Building was ready, and the families of the princes and ministers had also arrived.
The Queen Mother then smiled and said: "Since we are all ready, let's go over, I heard that this Hongfu class has been popular all over the country in recent years, especially the popular flower Dan Lanxiang in their troupe, it is said that the singing tone is soft and delicate, and we have seen it today." ”
Lu Yuning asked the nurse to take the fourth princess back to Qingxi Pavilion, and Qingzhi was also left to take care of the fourth princess, and she took Qingdai to follow the queen mother.
After hearing the words of the Queen Mother, Lu Yuning smiled and said: "That concubine has a blessing today, this is all stained with the light of the Queen Mother." ”
There is already a stage set up upstairs in Yanyu, and at this time, Hongfuban has already decorated the places that should be decorated, and the corners have been dressed.
The ladies and ladies of the princes and ministers all sat in their seats, whispering and gossiping, waiting for the arrival of the Queen Mother.
"The Queen Mother has arrived!"
After the eunuch's singing came, everyone present knelt down and asked for peace: "I have seen the Queen Mother, please ask the Queen Mother to be safe." ”
The Queen Mother sat down on the main seat with a smile and said, "Get up, the mourning family invited you to come today to watch the play and have fun, and you don't have to be restrained." ”
"Thank you, Empress Dowager."
Everyone thanked them and got up.
The head of the Hongfu class saw the Queen Mother sitting down, and hurriedly presented a play excerpt and asked the Queen Mother to order a play.
The Queen Mother took the excerpt and looked at it and asked, "What is your troupe best at?" ”
The head of the drama troupe said: "Back to the Queen Mother, on weekdays, the drama troupe sings more about "The Story of the Phoenix", "The Story of the Purple Hairpin", "The Story of Handan", "The Story of the Jade Hairpin", and "The Story of the Soul". ”
"Then "The Story of the Jade Hairpin"."
After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she handed the fold to Lu Yuning on her right hand, and said, "You can also order a few." ”
Concubine Jing, who was sitting on the left hand side of the Queen Mother, saw that the Queen Mother directly handed the play excerpt to Lu Yuning, and the handkerchief in her hand was crumpled by her.
She has a higher position than Lu Yuning, and the Queen Mother should let her do it first even if she asks them to order a play, but the Queen Mother just handed the play to Lu Yuning, isn't this a shame for her?
