Chapter 1128 (1/2)
On the 28th of May, half past the time, there was a cart in front of the gate of the East Street of Bixiao hall, which was fully lined up from the street to the end of the street.
A little servant girl in green looked at the gate of East Street. Then she ran back to a black lacquered carriage at the end of the street and bowed to a woman in her forties: ”madam, there are twenty carriages ahead of us! Do you want me to talk to the porter... ” My wife is also the wife of general Yao. The Yao family has assisted Zhennan palace for three generations. Even if she is a concubine, she should give her the face to let the carriage of Yao family advance to the palace!
”Wait a minute.” Mrs. Yao waved and didn't care.
This is the first time I came to see the princess. I don't know the temperament of the other side. It's always right to be cautious.
Mrs. Yao patiently waited outside the mansion for a long time. Her carriage was introduced into Bixiao hall.
The carriage stopped at the gate of Dongyi. Mrs. Yao got out of the carriage with the help of her servant girls. A mother in charge, dressed in royal blue and holding birthday makeup, came up to meet her. The wrinkles around her eyes were crowded together.
”Yes, Mrs. Yao.” Mother in charge warmly saluted Mrs. Yao.
Mrs. Yao was stunned. She was not surprised that the imperial concubine did not come to meet the guests. After all, she is now the highest ranking female family member in the whole southern Xinjiang, and she is also the first-class princess. Today's guests can not be dignified enough to let Princess Shizi meet in person.
Mrs. Yao smiles and politely says, ”mother Lu.” Although she hasn't seen each other for more than ten years, Mrs. Yao still recognizes each other.
At that time, mother Lu was the powerful steward beside Dafang, the first princess. However, after the death of the former Princess and the present wife's marriage to Zhennan palace, this mother Lu disappeared in front of people I didn't expect that it's been more than ten years, and the other party actually got the important position of the imperial concubine. This is really a son of heaven and a courtier!
”Mrs. Yao still remembers my maid. I'm not very honored.” Mother Lu laughed more happily. Originally, after she was in charge of welcoming guests here, she would welcome the guests to Xihong hall by the little maid.
But Mrs. Yao was not an ordinary woman's wife, and mother Lu personally led her to go.
As soon as she entered Xihong hall, Mrs. Yao was stunned again. She saw a beautiful young lady about 15 years old sitting on her master's seat, and a familiar little girl, Xiao Fei, was sitting in the armchair on her left.
For a moment, Mrs. Yao's thoughts flashed through her heart, but she didn't show any color. She went on walking slowly, and then met Nangong Yue and said, ”I've met the princess.”
”Mrs. Yao doesn't have to be so polite.” Nangong Yue made a gesture in her eyes, and a little servant girl helped her while she bent her knees.
”Thank you, princess.” Mrs. Yao did the courtesy and then looked at Xiao Fei. Xiao Fei got up to meet her and exchanged greetings.
On the surface, Mrs. Yao looked as if nothing had happened, but in fact she had already had a rough sea in her heart.
In recent days, there are rumors among some of Luoyue city's residences that Princess Shizi has made friends with Miss Xiao. Mrs. Yao only took it as a joke and didn't take it seriously. Until now, she confirmed that it was not groundless.
Mrs. Yao has heard of Miss Xiao's temperament. The princess should get along so well with her sister-in-law. She must have a set
Mrs. Yao looked at nangongyue again without a trace. She was wearing a rose purple two-color gold cut, knee length and narrow sleeve, with a horse bun on her head. Because she had not reached the hairpin, only a few red jade beads were pinned on her temples. The pearls looked simple, but the rubies were rare, and the whole body was flawless. The delicate even the pistils were lifelike. The bright and gorgeous dress set off her whole body. It seemed that she was just a pretty, generous and decent little girl. But from the beginning to the end, she was calm and did not show a trace of timidity. Mrs. Yao was vaguely aware of it.
In recent years, Xiao Yi, the son of the royal family, has gradually shown her edge. Originally, she thought that the princess was given a marriage by the emperor. Because of the emperor's fear of Zhennan's palace, she was afraid that the emperor would give him a good one. Although she is young, she is not small. She is worthy of being the legitimate daughter and Princess of Nangong family. She must be very favored. In the future, it is not easy for him to attack the son of the world if he is afraid to be his wife.
At the thought of this, Mrs. Yao settled down a lot and became more confident about the future of her family. Also, the master has always been a man with a compass in his heart. No wonder he will let hang'er follow the son of the world!
After that, other ladies came in one after another, and Mrs. Yao was led to the flower hall by a servant girl.
Walking along the hand copying corridor for a while, through a ruyi door, is the flower hall.
At this time, the weather was suitable. The maids opened all three windows of the flower hall, and the inside was bright. You could see a pair of large blue and white porcelain vases in the corner and four nanmu cherry grass cut glass screens. They were simple but elegant.
In May, pomegranate blossoms, red as fire, dazzling, sitting in the flower hall, just can see the pomegranate flowers in full bloom in the small garden, overlooking the lake, a breeze blowing, bring bursts of flower fragrance, people can not help but relax.
The tea and fruit snacks on the table have been arranged for a long time. In addition to the common snacks in southern Xinjiang, they are also slightly mixed with some Wang Du's snacks. These snacks are all made by the cooks brought by nangongyue from Wangdu. They are authentic Wangdu flavor.Many people have already arrived in the flower hall. At a glance, it can be said that it is colorful and jewelled, and it is really lively.
Mrs. Yao glanced around quickly. She was surprised. There were more people coming today than she expected. The wife and daughter-in-law of Hong Tongbian's mansion, general LAN, general Jiang, deputy general Xin, and other women's wives in the mansion also came. The foundation of shiziye in southern Xinjiang is getting deeper and deeper!
When she saw Mrs. Yao coming, she immediately got up to greet her.
”Mrs. Yao,” Dr. Jiang took Mrs. Yao and sat down beside her with a smile, ”why didn't your daughter-in-law come?”
When talking about the eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Yao's smile could not be hidden. She said, ”my eldest daughter-in-law just had a good pulse the day before yesterday, so she can only complain with her son.”
”Congratulations, Mrs. Yao!” he said
”I don't want to worry about anything now Mrs. Yao said so, but there was no sadness on her face, and the corners of her mouth were crooked.
Her eldest son has been married for five years, and this is her daughter-in-law's first child. She looks forward to it day and night. At least she is watching the clouds open to see the moon.
Several other ladies also congratulated on hearing the speech.
There are not many high-ranking families in southern Xinjiang. These ladies know each other more or less. After exchanging greetings, they chatted warmly
Servant girls from time to time to add some tea and snacks, very obedient.
Gradually, there were more and more people in the flower hall. Luo Yuecheng came with the wife of Lord Lu and the wife of governor ma. Then he appeased the wife of Lord Liu, the wife of Lord Yun, with his daughter-in-law and eldest daughter It's all here.
Mrs. Yao hasn't seen the wives of these civil and military officials gather together for many years. It seems that the face of shiziye is really terrible.
At this time, Mrs. Hua, sitting on the other side, patted Mrs. Yao on the arm, and then motioned her to look at the door. A proud looking lady and two beautiful girls were coming out of the hall.
There was a moment of silence in the flower hall. Everyone looked at the three people in unison, and their expressions were somewhat subtle.
Everyone knows this lady. She is the eldest sister of the Lord, Qiao Ruolan, the girl on her left is her eldest daughter Qiao Ruolan, and the girl on her right is Xiao Fei, the eldest sister of the prince's mansion.
Xiao Fei quietly led the way in front of her: ”aunt, cousin, please come here.”
Seeing them coming in, a woman in Lake colored ball grain stood up and warmly welcomed them, ”big sister and LAN sister, you can come.”
Madame Qiao nodded with grace, ”second sister!”
Xiao Fei and Qiao Ruolan saluted and called out ”aunt”.
It is true that this lady is the sister of Mrs. Qiao and the king of Zhennan. Now she is married to Mrs. Ji of the Ji family.
”Big sister, come and sit down with my sister. She hasn't talked to her sister for many days.” Ji's wife took a veil to cover her mouth and said with a smile, ”it's said that there is a more” sister ”in the elder sister's house. The elder sister is really virtuous. If there is a good wife, the brother-in-law will be blessed.”
Although Mrs. Ji is smiling, she looks at this di elder sister coldly, and does not conceal the gloating in her eyes.
She used to like to suppress herself in her boudoir, and finally married herself. She thought that she could get rid of her completely. Unexpectedly, the other party sent two enchanting maids to her husband after her miscarriage. She also called her ”sharing worries for herself” and inheriting her family planning for herself! And his mother-in-law even made the decision to accept it!
Thinking of that year's event, Mrs. Ji was still very angry and gnashed her teeth. After more than ten years of tolerance, she finally gave a bad breath in her heart.
Recently, vice general Qiao held a concubine banquet and brought the outer room raised outside into the mansion. It can be said that everyone in Luoyue City knew it. On the day of the concubine banquet, there was so much excitement that even the prince went to drink a glass of wine.
Such a beautiful concubine banquet is really unique in Luoyue city.
Although the ladies from other places did not know why, they did not hinder their imagination and outstanding communication skills. They soon learned the story from the informed wives.
Madame Qiao was already as black as the bottom of a pot. She didn't want to lose her momentum in front of this common sister. She said in a cold voice, ”thank you very much for your concern! It's said that brother Lang is going to have a father soon, so my aunt should go to Daoxi for a while. ”
This words let people look at each other, heart: as far as they know, the eldest son of Mrs. Ji should not be married, right? Isn't that
At the thought of this, people all look different.
The servant girl's face is hard to see in his wife's room The di elder sister is really good poisonous mind, this is to want to destroy understanding elder brother son's marriage matter!
Ji's wife said in a hard voice: ”I don't know where my elder sister came from. I don't know if my elder brother has yet to get married.” The heart is thinking, and so on back to the house must be ruthless to the little bitch to pour the medicine is!
The two sisters' three words and two words gave Luoyue city a lot of gossip. Mrs Ling, the third sister of Mrs. Qiao and Mrs. Ji, drank their own tea from the beginning to the end. They really wanted to stay away from the two sisters.Finally, Mrs. Qiao left her seat. After Xiao Fei told her servants to serve tea, she did not leave the flower hall.
One after another, girls came and sat down beside her.
Xiao Fei is cold-natured and does not like to be lively. She has few opportunities to meet the legitimate elder girl of the royal family. No matter what the purpose is, the chance to make friends with Xiao Xiao is really rare.
They talked around Xiao Fei with a smile. They heard a girl wearing a purple flower and butterfly brocade and said enthusiastically, ”she'er still remembers playing with Miss Xiao last year. She really benefited a lot. When she had a chance, she would like to play with her again.”
Another girl with brocade, hazel and red jacquard mounds hastily echoed: ”I was also very impressed with that game. I specially wrote down the chess score, and then repeated it several times...”
