Chapter 1555: Tiger Girl 39
This time I can only bring one maid into the palace. It seems that I can only wait outside the palace gate, but what I can bring is naturally the most considerate.
Xining decided to take Qiuye with him. With the lesson learned from the last time, Dongmei didn't show any displeasure.
When the time came, Grandma Li came to invite me. Xining took Qiuye to the front hall, where everyone who wanted to go was already waiting there. The men were sitting with General Zhao, while the female family members were chatting and laughing with Mrs. Zhao on one side.
Mrs. Zhao, who was wearing a heavy flower crown and a red flower gown, was sitting on a warm couch on one side. When she saw her, she asked her to sit next to her.
The imperial edict is simple. For important events, there are coats of fur; the imperial concubine and the crown prince are registered, and the imperial court wears Zhai; the emperor and his chariot wear red garments when paying homage to the emperor; and when meeting guests at banquets, they wear mother-of-pearl ceremonial clothes, which are common clothes on weekdays.
Today is the day when the palace is having fun with the people and it is the Queen's decree, so you only need to wear ordinary clothes. As long as the clothes of the young masters are not inappropriate, the emphasis is on the noble ladies who have not left the court.
He looked at his daughter's goose-egg yolk dress. She wore a double-snail bun with small silk flowers on the left and right buns. The dots looked playful, and her pale face became a lot more lively. Underage girls can wear their buns, but they usually wear them at home. As a noble girl, combing her hair like this without wearing gold or silver is a bit petty. But with a valuable finger-length, finely engraved tortoiseshell comb inserted in one side, things immediately changed.
There is no gold or silver on the neck and chest, only a warm mutton fat jade pendant, engraved with pine and crane.
Mrs. Zhao held up her hand, which was not cold. There was a chicken blood red bracelet on her wrist, which kept her body from being too plain.
Looking sideways, he saw Qiu Ye next to him, with a gray fox cloak hanging on his arm, and he couldn't help but smile and nodded. She said with a smile: "The old lady is old and in poor health. Your second aunt has to take care of your second uncle, so they don't go."
If you are not in good health, you need to take care of it. The old lady was always afraid that her second daughter-in-law would cuckold her second daughter-in-law, so she guarded her tightly. It is said that they would be beaten so hard every once in a while that the second wife, Mrs. Chen, was dressed like a widow, and the whole courtyard was as lifeless as a cold palace.
After getting up and entering the palace, Mrs. Shizi came forward to help. Xining was about to help Mrs. Zhao on the other side, but Mrs. Zhao refused.
"I'm not even 70 or 80 yet, you just have to go along with it." Mrs. Zhao was in a pretty good mood.
Two carriages were prepared, and Mrs. Zhao asked Xining to ride with her, while Mrs. Shizi took one alone. The men all rode horses, and the maids and servants walked beside the carriages, and the group headed towards the palace.
Grandma Li was older and sat in the car. The car was spacious and not crowded.
Mrs. Zhao took Xi Ning's hand and couldn't help but tell her not to be afraid when meeting nobles in the palace, but to be polite and respectful. Although men and women were sitting separately this time, they would inevitably touch each other when walking in the palace. When the opportunity comes, don't leave the palace leader who leads the way...
Nanny Li sat in the front seat near the car door: "Madam, don't scare the young lady. Don't worry, if you don't look at the monk's face or the Buddha's face, who in the Zhenguo General's house would dare to bully you."
< br>
"Yes!" Mrs. Zhao felt relieved now, opened the curtains and looked outside.
General Zhao, the crown prince and the third son were riding tall horses. All of them are tall and majestic. Although Zhao Heming is still young, he is as tall as an ordinary adult. He has practiced martial arts all year round and looks somewhat imposing.
Pedestrians on the road looked sideways. With this posture, even if they didn't know he was from the Zhenguo General's Mansion, they would still be wary before making trouble.
Seeing General Zhao looking over, Mrs. Zhao seemed to have seen through the pride in her heart. Her cheeks turned slightly red and she lowered the curtain. Xining watched carefully and became amused: "I heard that my mother was not happy when my grandfather arranged to get married. Is that what happened?"
"Isn't that right?" Nanny Li was not afraid of exposing her eldest daughter's background, and laughed: "Madam was the youngest lady in the house at that time. She said that the four young ladies in front of her all married well. When they got married, She was either a seventh-grade civil servant or above, or a Jinshi, but she was asked to marry a charcoal ninth-grade lieutenant, and she was still a concubine. But now the wife is the best married among the five sisters, and she has become a hereditary one. The general’s wife.”
"And..." Mrs. Zhao rolled her eyes at Nanny Li, but couldn't help but laugh: "I was still young and ignorant at that time."
A fourth-rank eunuch who can marry all his daughters to young talents is obviously very capable. If he hadn't been so vicious at the time, by the time General Zhao received the title, he would have been too hot to get married to.
You must know that many people later even thought of taking their legitimate daughters as concubines, but General Zhao rejected them. There was even a county king who wanted the county owner to marry into the general's house as a common wife, so he went to the official's house to ask for the decision. At that time, General Zhao refused to give up until he died.
But in the end, the boat capsized with Aunt Xu. Even if General Zhao was deliberately cold and often avoided, and he also gave birth to two concubines one after another, it was obvious that Aunt Xu was not an ordinary person.
Xining smiled and said: "It seems that my future marriage will have to be passed by my grandfather."
Mrs. Zhao's eyes lit up, and Grandma Li was happy: "Miss, you are really a big kid, aren't you? The marriages that Mr. Zhang arranged for the five sisters are not bad at all. The husband and wife treat each other as guests, and the family is full of children and grandchildren. This time we go , the young lady can follow the second young lady of Zhongshu Lingma’s family. She is the young lady’s aunt and granddaughter. In terms of seniority, she should be called your cousin.”
Mrs. Zhao is the youngest daughter, fifteen years apart from her eldest sister, and the owner of the body is the youngest daughter, so where is the seniority?
Most of Zhang Taishou's relatives were outside the capital, and he originally thought that General Zhao could stay with Mrs. Zhao, but seeing that General Zhao was not a good thing, he wrote a letter of recommendation to the officials. When the aunt's daughter grew up, it was Mrs. Zhao who introduced her to marry Ma Zhongshu, who was still just entering his official career.
Mrs. Zhao couldn't help but sigh: "At a glance, the eldest sister's granddaughter is already so big."
Grandma Li smiled so hard that she could hardly see her eyes: "Well, among the grandchildren, only Miss Ma is unmarried. The eldest lady is already waiting for the marriage of Zhang Luoxuan's grandson. But Master Sun is already thirteen. , In a few years, Madam will be able to hold her great-great-grandson, and she may be younger than the eldest daughter when she held her great-great-grandson.”
This made Mrs. Zhao feel relieved and looked at her little daughter who had just grown up with a smile. Thinking about the plans of Duke Rongguo against his daughter, he was frightened just thinking about it. This time is just an opportunity. Take a closer look. If someone comes to propose marriage in the future, you will know which family cannot accept it, so you can't make mistakes.
Unfortunately, later on, the great-great-grandson was exterminated in his belly. Xi Ning sighed slightly. We need to see clearly what caused the Zhenguo General Mansion to be destroyed.
The closer we get to the palace, the more people there are. Everyone in the court who receives the message goes to the palace. But when they saw the Zhenguo General's Mansion, many civil servants took the initiative to get out of the way and let them go first.
Although the imperial court values civility, the generals who have guarded the border for generations are highly respected. If you have any complaints, you can try to guard the border for a few years and fight the Huns and Tatars a few times.
When General Zhao evades someone, he will not rely on his status, but will bow to express his gratitude when passing by.
