Chapter 43 (Two Gifts)
hun, the height of summer in June, dawn.Chen Fu, Sizhitang.in the half-dark inner room, a sudden gasp came from the bed, such as the drowning man finally rushed out of the water, trying his best to pl...the magistrate Yamen, the back mansion.
there is a square table of yellow pear wood in the hall. Chen Bozong sits in the main seat, and Yu Xiu sits on his lower right.
Yu Xiu gave birth to a daughter the year after she married him, and since then, the couple seem to have seldom eaten alone.
without eating and sleeping, Yu Xiuwei hung her head and quietly held the food in front of her.
Chen Bozong glanced at her.
later she is going to visit the princess's Ningyuan, and will follow the princess to entertain Princess Xiang and others. In order not to lose her dignity, she has specially changed into a tapestry with red makeup flowers today, wearing gold hairpins and ruby gold pendant on her head, and a pair of white jade beads pendant on her earlobe. She was already white and pure, and she was set off by these external objects, adding a lot of beauty and beauty.
she is frugal in nature and has five taels of silver every month after marrying into the Chen family, but she never seems to buy anything for herself. Her simple mother always asks him to leave some private money to buy jewelry for her from the salary that should be incorporated into the public account. If he does not keep it, his mother specially gives him 22 silver before her birthday to buy her gifts, and he is not allowed to enter the door without bringing gifts.
or the emperor gave her a reward. Her father took it home, her mother assigned it, and she kept a piece of silk and satin to make clothes for her family, so that she could get new clothes made of good materials, including several pieces of good jewelry.
this is because her mother loves her, but when her mother is stingy, she has to hold all the good things in her hand and is reluctant to give them to daughter-in-law. With her temperament, it is difficult for her to put together this outfit today.
after dinner, she also rinsed her mouth, and the servant girl took Chen Bozong's official hat and sent it to him.
Yu Xiu took it and helped her husband put it on.
the official robe of Sipin Zhifu is bright red, and in the middle is the tonic of the embroidered Yunyan. Yu Xiufei glanced at her husband, and then at the Yunyan who was about to fly, he felt that his husband was as handsome and elegant as the wild goose.
"when you get there, don't be too squeamish if you listen to the princess."
when she stepped back, Chen Bozong thought about it and told him.
Yu Xiu was already nervous, but as soon as he said it, he subconsciously wanted to bow his head, reflecting that this was exactly what her husband told her that she could not do.
Chen Bozong shook his head slightly and walked out. He had already stepped out the door. He stopped and looked at her and said, "if the princess keeps you there for dinner, you don't have to refuse. I'll pick you up when I'm off duty. I happen to have something to say to my fourth brother."
when Yu Xiu heard that he wanted to see his brother-in-law, he stopped refusing and asked, "if the princess keeps me for dinner, I'll say you'll come in the evening."
Chen Bozong: "No, I'll eat it before I go there."
Yu Xiu understood, and he dared not treat the princess as an ordinary brother and sister-in-law, so he casually gathered together for dinner.
watched Chen Bozong go to the front Yamen, remembering that the princess told her to go there earlier, and Yu Xiu left the house through the side door with her servant girl Bitao without much delay and got on the carriage.
the two families are only three blocks away, and they will arrive soon.
when Yu Xiu got out of the car, he saw four guards outside Ningyuan, and there were tall and straight guards lined up at a certain distance outside the huge courtyard wall, heavily guarded.
at this time, Chaoyue came out of it, surrounded by a clear and elegant father-in-law.
"here comes the first lady. The princess has been expecting you for a long time."
Chaoyue salutes with a big smile.
Yu Xiu calmed down a little when he saw a familiar face.
Chaoyue introduced Wu run to her.
Yu Xiu knew that princesses were served by eunuchs, but she did not expect that an eunuch could be so outstanding, but then again, the princess was so beautiful that the subordinates around her should be like Wu Run, Chaoyun and others, so as not to reduce the splendor of the princess.
Qifeng Hall has a special flower hall for guests. At this time of year, the plum blossoms and peach blossoms are not in full bloom, but the camellia is in full bloom, and the petals of the bowl mouth are delicate and beautiful.

Yu Xiu first saw Huayang sitting on the couch of the imperial concubine, and the tedious and gorgeous bright yellow skirt was clustered with the beauty of the country, which made it difficult to look away.
then the beauty smiled and called her, "I haven't seen you in just two days. Does my sister-in-law recognize me"
Yu Xiu regained his senses and stepped in drunk.
the beauty at the end of the day is also higher and higher, and the neighbors all praise her beauty. When Luo Yuyan, her third younger sister, married in, she had a sense of eye-opener. When the golden princess remarried, Yu Xiu thought that her vision had reached its maximum, and there would never be anyone more beautiful than the princess in the world.
she was amazed by Huayang's new look. Huayang also noticed Yu Xiu's clothes and jewelry, which looked familiar. When the funeral news of Chen's old lady had not yet spread to the capital in January last year, she seemed to see Yu Xiu wearing it.
Huayang has a lot of unused jewelry, and Aya Luo satin is placed in boxes and boxes in the storeroom. She is willing to give it to Yu Xiu, for fear that Yu Xiu will take it as a handout.
"Sister-in-law is sitting here. It's just you and me. What are you doing so far away"
Huayang refers to the vacant seat on the other side of the imperial concubine's bed, which is intimate and authentic.
Yu Xiuhong moved over with a red face.
Chaoyun offered tea, and Huayang smiled and chatted with her: "how are you settling down over there" Are all the servant girls provided in the Yamen obedient "
when there was something to talk about, Yu Xiu relaxed and said, "I am still waiting on Bitao and Bihe. Other servant girls just do the rough work. At present, they all seem to be doing their part."
Huayang nodded: "Brother, are you busy with Yamen's errands"
Yu Xiu sighed: "there are a lot of things. I didn't come back from the front until it was dark yesterday."
when a new official takes office, Chen Jingzong is not the head of the health office with so many things to do. Chen Bozong is certainly busier when he is in charge of government affairs. However, Chen Bozong has been working in Dali Temple for six or seven years, and he has a lot of experience as an official, which is the last thing to worry about among the Chen brothers.
Huayang asked Yu Xiu, "apart from Princess Xiang, do you know the origin of the other two guests I am going to entertain today"
Yu Xiu said with a smile, "I was not sure. After showing the invitation to my uncle, he told me about it, and then he knew that the Bai family was a distinguished local family. Although the ruler of Lingyuan County was only in his thirties, he had a big seniority, and it seemed that even the king of Xiang wanted to call her a grandaunt."
the so-called grandaunt, refers to the grandfather's sister, this grandfather can be a grandfather, can also be other cousins, sisters also include cousins.
there are too many patriarchal relatives living in various places in this dynasty, just as Huayang should call the King of Xiang as his uncle. In fact, the blood relationship between the two is very weak, as is the case between the King of Lingyuan County and the King of Xiang.
it's still early. Huayang invites Yu Xiu to go shopping in the garden.
in the middle of the year, Princess Xiang, Jun of Lingyuan County, and Mrs. Ji of the Bai family arrived one after another, all bringing gifts.
after meeting each other, Huayang sat in the main seat alone, while Princess Xiang and Mr. Lingyuan sat on the left, while Yu Xiu and Mrs. Ji sat on the right.
having accepted the intimacy of Huayang for as long as an hour, Yu Xiu had nothing to be nervous about seeing Princess Xiang, who was far less powerful than Huayang.
Huayang did not have to worry about her, but focused on the princess of Xiang and the king of Lingyuan County.
these two people, one is the wife of the King of Xiang, and the other is the poor woman who was killed by the King of Xiang in the previous life.
Princess Xiang is 467, about the age of her mother-in-law Sun, but Sun's body is round, rich and gentle, while Princess Xiang is very thin, with a bit of indifference between her eyebrows and eyes. on the contrary, such a face makes her smile at Huayang even more deliberate.h, and a slight enthusiasm continued to emerge from all over the body.Huayang knew that she was a little drunk. She dared not drink any more and began to eat some melons, fruits and dishes.on this sid...
