097 AND LU (1)
Bao Gong raised his eyes, "Queen Mother, I heard that the prince is going to leave Beijing to join the country after he gets married."
So, Queen Mother, are you so eager to see me off?
Then you might as well send me back to Shennong Mountain.
The Empress Dowager Yang eagerly leaned over and grabbed the hand of the treasure, "Xiao Qi, the Queen Mother didn't mean that."
Bao Yuan stared at the Queen Mother Yang, holding her hand, and muttered to the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother Yang was red-eyed by his simple and single call for the queen mother.
"Queen Mother, I want to go back to Shennong Mountain."
Bao Gong spoke again, and his gentle voice was aggrieved with confusion, "Queen Mother, when I was a child, I had to be carried, held, and supported everywhere I went.
Don't say that you go out, just open the window to breathe, and the grandmothers are not allowed.
At that time, I wanted to be better every day, I could go wherever I wanted, and if anyone dared to be verbose, I would kill whomever I wanted.
Now, I'm fine, but I still can't go anywhere.
Lian Yu commanded his sister and Lu, I wanted to go and see the excitement, and then give a gift, but Commander Yu said that it was inconvenient for me to go, and I had never seen a courtesy."
The Empress Dowager Yang only felt heartbroken and hurtful, tears couldn't stop pouring out, holding his hand and leaving, "Why can't it?"
Don't say it's Commander Yu's sister and Xu, it's Commander Yu's cave room, you can go too! The queen mother will go with you! ”
Bao Yu hesitated, "However, Commander Yu doesn't like me, his sister and Lu, he doesn't give me a post, I said I want to go, he said no."
His sister seems to hate me too, and she doesn't want me to give her such a rare and rare foot-sky."
"They dare! They dare to hate my Xiao Qi, I will punish him for the three clans of the Yu family! ”
The Queen Mother Yang was so ruthless that she even forgot to call herself "Bengong", "Let's go, the queen mother will take you with me, I want to see if that Yu Xin has eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall, dare to say that it is not welcome!" ”
"However, I didn't have any gifts."
Empress Dowager Yang walked faster, "I'm afraid that the royal family doesn't have good things?" Let's go first, let the minions prepare the gifts and send them, hurry up, don't be late."
Her son finally lost his mind, became a little curious, and had an interest in dealing with people rather than with Buddhas, and these were not problems!
……
……
Since the hour of Chen, the carriages and horses outside the gate of Xue Mansion have been coming in an endless stream.
Xue Mansion opened the main gate, and Xue Pan and Jia Lian, who came to help, stood outside the gate with a steward and servants to greet guests.
Although the carriages and horses were arranged with the help of stewards and servants, Xue Pan and Jia Lian were still too busy to touch the ground.
The main reason is that most of them are nobles who can't afford to offend, and the two don't dare to slack off at all.
It was easy to get to the middle of the time, the carriages and horses were getting thinner, Jia Lian breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Xue Pan, "There shouldn't be anyone coming, you wait a while, I'll go in and see if there is anyone who wants help from my eldest cousin."
Jia Lian was talking, and suddenly saw a team of honor guards coming from afar, and the four yellow umbrellas with large pots in the center were shining golden and swaggering in the warm sun of early winter.
Huang Luo umbrella!
Or four tops!
That's the regulation of the Queen Mother's travel!
Jia Lian was stunned, and hurriedly pulled Xue Pan to kneel, although it was said that the Queen Mother's Luan driver definitely did not come to Xue's house, but since they had already walked into Lizi Hutong, they would definitely pass by the door of Xue's house, so they naturally had to kneel down and send them off.
Sure enough, after a while, the black guard of honor arrived, Jia Lian and the others leaned over the ground, did not dare to raise their heads, and waited for the Empress Dowager's guard of honor to pass.
The footsteps that didn't want to be neat stopped when they came to the front, and an old and shrill voice sounded, "The Queen Mother Niang Niang Feng is driving the daughter of your mansion, don't hurry up and catch it."
Jia Lian froze, for a moment, he could hardly believe his eyes, but soon he reacted, chanting Chitose, and while ordering someone to remove the threshold of the gate, he sent someone to report to Yu Xin immediately.
Yu Xin was accompanying the guests inside, and he was also shocked when he heard it, so he hurriedly got up and hugged his fist at the guests, "Everyone, the Queen Mother Niangfeng has arrived, and I invite you to go with Yu to meet you."
Yu Xin's words immediately caused a commotion among the guests, and the Queen Mother actually came!
Most of them came for Yu Xin's holy grace, but they didn't expect Yu Xin's holy favor to reach this level!
A righteous sister's ceremony actually alarmed the Queen Mother to come in person!
In an instant, the eyes of all the guests looking at Yu Xin became hotter and hotter, and they all followed Yu Xin to pick up the car.
At this time, the backyard also got the news, and they were all shocked.
Mrs. Xue and Mrs. Xue San were both happy and scared, and they had long since lost their opinions, but fortunately, Wang Xifeng could still hold on, and hurriedly arranged for the female guests to wait outside the second gate to greet them.
Empress Dowager Yang's phoenix chariot entered the gate of Xue Mansion directly, and Yu Xin led all the guests to kneel behind the shadow wall to greet her.
The Empress Dowager Yang's phoenix chariot stopped, the treasure building got off the chariot, saluted in return, and said with a smile, "The queen mother commanded, everyone please get up quickly, although the ceremony is as before, only ask the envoy of Commander Yu to accompany the queen mother for a walk."
Yu Xin, "......"
No wonder the Queen Mother came suddenly, it must be this fake monk's ghost!
When it came to the weeping flower gate, the ladies and daughters-in-law knelt down to greet them, and it was still the treasure building that made everyone exempt from courtesy.
Feng Yuan entered the east room all the way, and the Queen Mother Yang was supported by the treasure building.
At this time, the crowd of people in Wuyang had all retreated under Yu Xin's instructions, and only a few masters and guests of the Xue family were qualified to meet the Empress Dowager Yang's wife.
Empress Dowager Yang had a friendly attitude and said with a smile, "You don't have to be restrained, today was a whim in the palace, and I wanted to come to Commander Yu's sister and the ceremony to join in the fun, but it was causing you trouble, and I also asked Mrs. Xue and Miss Xue not to be surprised."
Mrs. Xue's face froze, and she didn't dare to say anything.
Empress Dowager Yang looked at Xue Baobao again and said with a smile, "Mrs. Xue is really good at training her daughter, and the three girls she raises are like flowers, and this palace really loves her tightly."
No, I heard that Miss Xue and Lu Li, so I thought of coming over to join in the fun, Miss Xue, come over and let the mourning family take a closer look."
Xue Baobao stepped forward with a stiff face, and the Queen Mother Yang took her hand and looked it up and down, and said with a smile, "Today is a good day for Miss Xue, and the mourning family also has a gift, I hope that Miss Xue will have a safe and smooth life and everything will go well."
The palace people around the Empress Dowager Yang stepped forward with a tray, and on the tray covered with red silk cloth was a golden ruyi inlaid with ruby and turquoise.
Mrs. Xue limped her legs and took Xue Baobao to kneel down to thank her.
Bao Bao smiled and folded, "The queen mother sent such a good gift, but it made the poor monk embarrassed."
The poor monk gave the Buddha beads that had accompanied the king for many years to Miss Xue, hoping to protect the girl from being safe and healthy, and becoming auspicious in distress."
The string of Buddha beads was made of the finest tourmaline stones, like a pool of spring water held in the hand of the treasure building, and carefully sent to Xue Baobao.
The Empress Dowager moved her lips and swallowed her words again.
In order to save Xiao Qi's life, the national teacher presented three treasures, the first is the Qingxin stone that he has been tying to his forehead, and the second is this tourmaline bracelet.
Xiao Qi didn't know the origin of this treasure, so he gave it away casually.
Only Bao Bao's words have already been spoken, and she is not good at losing his face in public, so she has to endure it, thinking that it will not be difficult to get it back the day after tomorrow.
Xue Baobao took it with a stiff face, and saluted Mrs. Xue again to thank her.
After the gift was delivered, Bao Bao looked at Yu Xin with great interest, "Commander Yu, I don't know how the girl and Lu got there?" ”
In front of the public, there was also the Empress Dowager Yang staring at her, and Yu Xin could only respectfully explain the ceremony of the ceremony.
Bao Yuan was very regretful, "The queen mother can be a guest for Miss Xue, can't the poor monk help with anything?" ”
Yu Xin, "......"
I already have to thank you for not causing trouble!
"Does the one who has to be a girl and the one who likes it? The poor monk has not yet been married, can he be a priest or a praiser? ”
Yu Xin, "......"
This fake monk has started pretending to be crazy and stupid again!
Empress Dowager Yang hurriedly said, "Xiao Qi, you can just watch the ceremony at the viewing table with Commander Yu, and you can see it more clearly."
The treasure building sighed, looking very disappointed.
Empress Dowager Yang was feeling sorry for him, where to endure it, and hurriedly comforted, "The Xue family has many relatives and friends, so they don't need our help."
However, my son is sincere, and the queen mother will work a little harder, and be a guest for Miss Xue and Lu, which can be regarded as a little help."
Xue Baobao, "......"
This back and forth, why is it so similar to the interaction between Jia Mu and Jia Baoyu?
Mrs. Xue was so happy that she was dizzy in front of her, and she didn't know how to deal with it at all, so she just pulled Wang Xifeng's sleeve vigorously.
Wang Xifeng hurriedly took the lead in shouting the grace of the Empress Dowager Xie.
Empress Dowager Yang waved her hand and smiled, "This matter was originally taken by the palace and Xiao Qi, and the palace remembers that Miss Xue's aunt is Wang Ziteng's wife, and her aunt is the granddaughter-in-law of Rong Guogong."
Miss Xue's guest should be either Mrs. Wang or Mrs. Jia,
This palace is noisy, and I want to ask the two wives to forgive me."
Empress Dowager Yang said and looked at the crowd, obviously looking for Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Wang.
Wang Xifeng saw Mrs. Xue's weak legs, so she had to speak, "The Queen Mother forgive me, my aunt and aunt are sick and did not come."
On such an important occasion, my aunt and uncle didn't come?
Empress Dowager Yang knew that there was a difference, so she didn't delve into it anymore, and glanced at Wang Xifeng with a smile, "This palace remembers that you are the eldest great-granddaughter-in-law of Duke Rongguo, and it is really an excellent one."
Wang Xifeng's legs suddenly became a little weak, and she only occasionally followed Mrs. Wang or Mother Jia into the palace to worship, and the Queen Mother actually remembered her!
I also praised her for being superb!
The Queen Mother also praised her for being very good, and whoever dares to scold her openly and secretly in the future is against the Queen Mother!
……
……
The whole Da Xiao was able to invite the Queen Mother Yang to be the guest, and the last time was when the Queen Yang and Lu were the guests.
This year, the eldest granddaughter of Queen Sheep is one year old!
Counting that it was more than 20 years ago, the Empress Dowager Yang had forgotten the relevant etiquette and rituals, so she asked Wang Xifeng to find someone to teach her.
Yu Xin hugged his fist towards the treasure building, "Lord Wang, please follow me to the outer courtyard."
The treasure building was puzzled, "The poor monk wants to go to the outer courtyard?" Why? Is it okay not to go? ”
Yu Xin, "......"
In response to the three consecutive questions of the treasure building, Yu Xin wanted to throw him three exclamation marks: I just want to go! There is no why! Absolutely not if you don't go!
But, he didn't dare.
Sure enough, the officials crushed people to death, and suddenly they had the urge to rebel.
Empress Dowager Yang hurriedly said, "You are by the side of the Queen Mother, so you don't have to walk around and cause trouble for Commander Yu."
The treasure building sighed, and stood beside the Queen Mother Yang.
With his movements, the sleeves of his wide robe swayed slightly, and Sun Xiaosheng flexibly drilled out and landed precisely on Xue Baobao's pearl-covered waist seal.
All the ladies were startled, but they only remembered that there were nobles present, and they didn't dare to lose their temper, so they didn't scream.
Bao Qi hurriedly shouted, "Sun Xiaosheng, come back quickly."
Sun Xiaosheng very skillfully ripped off the purse on Xue Baobao's waist and jumped back to the shoulder of the treasure building.
The treasure arch bowed his head and folded his head, and said apologetically, "Miss Xue, I'm really sorry, the little pet is naughty, and the poor monk will let it return the purse to you."
Xue Baobao, "......"
The official level crushed people to death, what can she say?
"It's all food, I think it's the prince's pet who smells the fragrance, so he gives it to it, and I hope the prince won't dislike it."
As Xue Baobao was talking, Sun Xiaosheng had neatly opened a small purse on the top and took out a jujube and walnut.
The jujubes are roasted to a crisp, and the walnut kernels inside are wrapped in a thin layer of syrup and sprinkled with sesame seeds, making them sweet and fragrant.
Sun Xiaosheng likes all kinds of nuts the most, so he hurriedly grabbed them and stuffed them into his mouth, and sent the purse to the treasure.
Bao Bao smiled embarrassedly at Xue Baobao, pretending to be annoyed by the little pet, took one out of his purse, and took a bite into it, and the crispy and sweet taste suddenly made his eyes light up.
So, he directly stuffed the whole jujube and walnut into his mouth, snatched a whole string of purses directly from Sun Xiaosheng's hand, and took a jujube and walnut and sent it to the mouth of the Queen Mother, looking at her with bright eyes, "It's delicious, the queen mother eats."
The grandmother beside the Queen Mother Yang was busy trying to stop it, and as the Queen Mother of the Sheep, she couldn't easily eat outside.
The Queen Mother waved her hand, bowed her head slightly and put the jujube and walnuts in her mouth, this is the first time her son has fed her, it is arsenic, she also wants to lick it!
She didn't want to live up to her son's kindness, but she didn't expect it to be surprisingly delicious.
Red dates, walnuts, and sesame seeds are all common things, and I don't know how many imperial chefs in the palace are good at making these snacks, but I don't know how the Xue family concocted them, and they are even better than what she has eaten before.
Bao Yin Yin asked, "Is it delicious?" ”
Queen Mother Yang smiled and nodded, one for the food, and the other for the rare closeness of her son, "delicious".
Bao Yuan nodded heavily, "It's much better than the one in the palace!" ”
As he spoke, he opened the second purse, which contained licorice and peach meat, and he tasted it himself, and praised it with sparkling eyes, and then continued to feed the Queen Mother of the Sheep, and asked the Queen Mother of the Sheep if it was delicious.
A string of six purses has a total of six kinds of food, the more the treasure is eaten, the brighter the eyes, the perennial smile on the corner of the mouth is getting deeper and deeper, and the pear vortex at the corner of the right mouth is faintly visible.
The son turned out to have dimples, like her!
The Queen Mother Yang watched her heart soften into a hot spring, bubbling with bubbles called joy, "The queen mother is full, you can eat more if you like."
A string of six purses, each purse is not big, and only three or five can be placed, and the treasure building will be eaten in a while, and then his eyes will look at Xue Baobao expectantly, and ask, "Miss Xue, is there anything else?" ”
Xue Baobao, "......"
What can she say?
Bao Yuan didn't wait for her to answer, he reached out to pick up the rose cake in the box on the table, and took a bite and spit out in disgust, "This is not delicious, I want the kind just now."
Today, there are many people and miscellaneous, and it is naturally impossible for Xue Baobao to entertain guests with the food he made himself, and everything on the table is purchased from outside.
But they are all the best bought, how can they be unpalatable?
Xue Baobao saluted speechlessly, "Only jujube walnuts, licorice peach flesh and sea salt hazelnuts are left, but because there are few left, I didn't take them out." If the prince likes it, the maiden will go and get it."
"Then it will be annoying to Xue Shizhu."
The treasure building is still the same as when it was in Shennong Mountain.
Xue Baobao's eyes did not move, and he leaned over to return the salute.
