As the wife of Sima's big house, Zheng will not easily go to the party in the capital, but if she wants to go out, she must call her heels her hair and be indifferent. Even the most discerning person can't tell her when she sees her. Bad.
The maidservant squatted on the ground and pressed the skirt for her. The faint dark flowers flowed like water ripples, low-key and luxurious.
Sima Ling sat next to her mother surrounded by several maidservants and whispered: "Mother, three sisters came to see me yesterday."
"What do they want to do?" Zheng extended his hand, and the maidservant put a twisted gold silk beaded bracelet on her wrist.
"Sanmei wants you to take her to today's banquet." Sima Ling frowned and was a little embarrassed by the request of the third cousin.
"What's the occasion today, can people in their three bedrooms know?" Strange relatives who shared the three bedrooms, even if they were well-educated, the Zheng family would inevitably be dissatisfied. "Today's tea party Gu Jia and the second girl will also be present. What are the three-bedroom people going to do? "
Sima Ling said nothing in silence.
"Their absurdity caused our Sima family to be ashamed not once or twice. Now they are still thinking about going to the tea party. What is in the mind of their family?" Zheng said coldly. On occasion, the three bedrooms must be avoided by me, but I do n’t mind, and the host does not necessarily welcome them. "
"There's San Ma ..." Sima Ling thought of the hot and aunt San Ma, her brow furrowed tighter. Sanfang is now doing things more and more without rules, and she often makes her want to ignore them.
"You don't have to worry about Sanfang," Zheng said to Sima Ling in a flat tone. "The Sanfang thing is ugly. You are about to get married on the first month. It is better to stay away from them."
"Daughter understands." Sima Ling knew that her mother would not take Sima Xiang to attend more important occasions in Beijing and China in the future.
She never thought that the queen's position would fall on Gu Rujiu's body. So now I think of the Sanfang family and the Gu family, there are some contradictions. She heard a little shame on her face when she heard about the marriage of Zhengyue.
Originally, the marriage between Shen and her son had been set as early as two years ago, but the elders of the Shen family had not moved into Beijing, and Shen Gongzi intends to settle in Beijing, so the marriage date is set on the first month of next year.
"Gu family's temper," Zheng seemed helpless, "Remember what happened in Taihe Beyond Palace last year?"
"That cousin was scared by the wild cat?" Sima Ling asked.
"No," Zheng shook his head. "It might be a coincidence or a man-made thing in the fragrant girl's carriage, but it's not Gu's handwriting. Gu's family has arrogance in their bones. How could this be used. "

I ’m going to say that Xiangya ’s horse race lost to the second Gu girl,
Zheng ’s outstretched white fingers allowed her maids to dye their nails bright red.
The Gu family ’s arrogance is here, he If you do n’t let your scenery shine, you will inevitably be overwhelmed with strength. This kind of family acts kindly on weekdays, but if they offend them, they will step you into the mud and make it harder to turn over.

The three-bedroom people are now living in the capital, and their lives are lost. Sima Yue's errands have been lost. Even the three-bedroom grandfather's name has been completely consumed in his entire life, and the three-bedroom has gradually become a marginal figure in the capital.
The Gu family almost told everyone in the capital that the Gu family did not want to see the three bedrooms of the Sima family. Originally everyone still took care of the face of their big room, and they were kind to the three rooms. However, this is polite, because Sima Yue's drunken mouth complained about the big house, and it was gradually worn away.
Now almost the entire capital knows that Sanfang is a white-eyed wolf who remembers Qiu Buen, and the big house is suffering from Sanfang.
People in the three bedrooms were gossiping in the back, and their big rooms were not good-looking, but what the three bedrooms did was too ugly, so they could only protect themselves first.
"I think the second girl of Gu's family is very nice," Sima Ling said silently. "Aunt San is cursing Gu's family at home every day. It's a bit wrong."
After listening to nothing, Zheng's hand stretched out to help his daughter's silk flowers: "Yes, it's about time, it's time to go."
This gathering was held by the concubine of the royal family of Pingjun, because the concubine of the royal family of Pingjun is her aunt, so she specially brought her daughter Sima Ling this time.
In the future, her daughter will marry the grandson of Princess Deyi, and she will also deal with these royals.
The party was half in the garden of Pingjun Wangfu. Although the old man Pingjun King had no real power, his life was very comfortable. The garden in the county king's palace was also built with great care. The princess Sima put the banquet in the garden.
As the concubine's mother's family, Zheng's intention was to advance to the Pingjun Palace and help the concubine entertain.
With the help of Zheng's family, the imperial concubine suddenly relaxed a lot, and had some leisure time to chat with Zheng's.
"Fortunately, Sister-in-law, you didn't bring the Sanfang family's girl today, otherwise I would be a bit embarrassed." When referring to the maiden's Sanfang, Shi Zifei's brows could not help but wrinkle.
"Knowing that it's your banquet, how can I make you embarrassed," Zheng smiled and took a sip of tea from the cup handed over by her daughter, and looked across the tables and chairs already set in the garden. Not many guests. "
"It's just that my family is sitting together and asking so many people to do something?" Princess Shizi smiled and didn't make it clear.
However, the Zheng family understood that they were afraid that the party would be a fake at this feast today, and they wanted to show their position to the Gu family. In the past, because of the Sima family, the king of Ping County recommended the girl of the Sanfang family to her majesty. This was n’t a big deal, but it ’s bad now that Sanfang had a grudge with Gu ’s family. If this incident of Pingjun Wangqian reached Gu ’s female ears, who knew what Gu ’s thought would be?
Pingjun Wangfu looked at the noble, but in fact it was just an idle junior who had no land. How dare he really offend the future queen. Even if the old king is there, his majesty will not treat him. But the old king is old, can he protect his family for a lifetime?
When the old county king goes, will his descendants still have a foothold in North Korea?
Among them, Zheng's heart understood, but he would never say that he would blame Xiaoguzi for nothing. What's more, if it is not because of their three bedrooms in the Sima family, the younger sister's family will not be so embarrassed.
Knowing that this topic could not be continued, Zheng's topic changed, and when he talked about the sons and daughters' scriptures, he also boasted a few words, saying that he is now more and more progressive and has helped His Majesty's affairs.
"Your Majesty is generous and willing to let him run and run and learn to do things." Hearing his sister-in-law praised her son, the smile on the face of the princess deepened, and the concerns in her heart were reduced a lot.
In fact, when His Majesty let Xianger offer a gift to Gu's family instead of him, Shizi Fei felt vaguely that this was His Majesty's warning to their county government.
The sister-in-law said something for a while, and the guests came one after another. Then Zheng discovered that all the guests except the royal family were the people who were married to the royal family. As for the other families, they did not see the figure. It seems that her aunt really did not plan to invite many people to join in the excitement.
After most of the guests came, everyone sat and watched the tricks and chatted until the next person came to the newspaper. When Mrs. Ningping Hou and the Lord of Changyan County arrived, the women present no matter what they were doing, they all showed a gentle smile.
Shi Zifei even went to the second door to meet Gu Rujiu's mother and daughter, and made a close gesture. Seeing Yang bring Gu Rujiu over, Shi Zifei felt relieved. Gu's willingness to bring the Lord of Changyan County over, at least to show that they are still somewhat close to the Pingjun Mansion.
"I have seen Princess Shizi." Gu Rujiu saw Princess Shizi coming out and smiled and bowed to Princess Shizi.
"Good girl, don't need so many courtesies," Shizi Princess turned sideways very cleverly, avoiding the courtesy as if unintentionally, then stepped forward to hold Gu Rujiu's hand, looked around with a smile, and then said to Yang's, "Good The days are gone, more and more signs. "Gu Rujiu is just a small county master now, and she would be too flattering if she returned the gift. But if it is directly received by the other party, it is not good, after all, this is the future queen. Therefore, it is most appropriate to pretend to avoid this ceremony by coincidence. It will not make people feel that they are eager to please the future queen, and will not offend the future queen.
Yang's self-humility made a few remarks and praised the sons and daughters of Shizi. After making a friendly gesture, Shizi pulled Gu Rujiu into the garden.
Gu Rujiu had just stepped into the garden, and everyone else in the garden stood up to meet him. Although they all said hello to the young lady of the county, but everyone knew that the real distinguished person was the girl led by the concubine.
The nobles always pay attention to their faces. Even if they are willing to please others, they are not willing to make themselves too flattering.
But that's fine, at least without embarrassment. As long as Gu Rujiu didn't enter the palace one day, he would still be the master of Changyan County. So at the party, she also acted as a junior, and her deportment and deeds were not half wrong. Even the picky people like Zheng should give a heartfelt praise.
After the table opened at noon, everyone here deliberately observed Gu Rujiu's dining posture, and all nodded in his heart. Gu's family is really good.
After running out of meals, it is also trivial things such as gargle, washing hands, and wiping hands, but even these things require a lot of attention.
When washing your mouth, what angle should you cover the corner of your mouth to look better; when washing your hands, whether your hands look good or not, will there be splashes of water; when wiping your hands, is the gesture of holding the palms elegant enough; these are special for noble families The place that pays attention to is also the place where everyone judges the good manners of a family.
Gu Rujiu knew that all her words and deeds today were magnified infinitely by the women present, but the more she behaved, the more natural she seemed, as if she did n’t know how many people were attracted to attend this banquet today.
Drying his hands and putting down the handkerchief, Gu Rujiu smiled slightly at the maid holding the tray handkerchief. After the maid blessed her, she bowed her head.
Princess Kang Jun is the highest-ranking female family in the royal family except for Princess Deyi. She was born in a family and watched Gu Rujiu's movements like clouds and waters silently, and nodded secretly in her heart.
Act gracefully, not rashly, not arrogantly, not arrogant, really good manners, good education.
After the banquet, Gu Rujiu followed Yang's family and offered a farewell to the host family. The princess sent the mother and daughter out of the second door with a smile on their faces again, and then let their own maidservant help the mother and daughter to get on the sedan and wait for the sedan Disappearing around the corner, she turned and walked back.
She was very grateful for her decision today, because although the future queen didn't say a word from beginning to end, and walked one step at a time, her instinct told herself that the little girl was afraid in the future.
Thinking of the uncomfortable three rooms of her mother ’s house, she looked slightly dim and found Zheng ’s
sister-in-law
who had not left yet. In the future, she would let the people of the three rooms stay away from Gu ’s house.
Seeing the dignified expression of his sister-in-law, Zheng put down the teacup and said, "Why did you say this?"
Shi Zifei smiled: "I'm not afraid to tell you a joke, I think this girl Gu is very extraordinary."
When Zheng heard this, he smiled and responded. Although she thought that Gu's girl was indeed very good, she was not as powerful as the little aunt said. It has been ten years since the youngest aunt married Martial King's Mansion.
The sedan chair Gu Rujiu stopped after exiting the gate of the county palace, she helped Qiu Luo's hand off the sedan chair, and then got into the carriage.
The carriage went all the way to Gu's house without stopping. When the mother and daughter returned to the backyard, Yang removed the hair ring and told the daughter behind him: "For a long time, how do you think today's banquet is different from the past?"
Gu Rujiu thought for a while: "Those ladies look at me more obscurely than before, but they pay more attention to me than before."
"When you become a queen, there will be more people paying attention to you like this, and your eyes will be more obscure," Yang took the bracelet and put it in the box. "And there will be more and more respects and holding you, Even in front of you, they will give their blessings. They will say what you most want to hear, do what you want to do, spare no effort to please you, and stutter you. Their posture will not be as subtle and elegant as these ladies today, because some people In the face of power, there is no guts or even a face. As long as you can give them what they want, they are even willing to be your dog. "
They raised their daughters so well that they barely had the opportunity to contact such wicked villains. She was worried that her daughter would be accustomed to the family of the family, and she would be coaxed by the flattering villains to do things that she should not do after entering the palace.
Gu Rujiu listened quietly to Yang's teachings.
"In the face of life and interests, ritual education is the most useless thing," Yang went to her daughter, saying one word after another: "Child, after entering the palace, remember my words, I will only tell you these words once."
Gu Rujiu raised his head and saw a complex light in Yang's eyes.
"Don't trust anyone easily, remember, it's anyone."
Gu Rujiu shivered and grabbed Yang's hand: "Even if you ... are the same?"
"No one will stay the same forever. Under the temptation of the monstrous power, no one dares to guarantee that he will not forget his original intention," Yang Shi pointed out Gu Rujiu's forehead with his index finger. It is easy for people to lose their minds. Know that the villain's favorite thing is to provoke your anger and then make you lose your sense of conduct. "
After saying these words, Yang extended a hand with a smile and touched her hair: "For the mother to know, you are a smart child."
Feeling the warmth from the hair top, Gu Rujiu pressed his lips and said nothing.
Since entering the winter, the capital has been colder by the day, and Gu Rujiu has never taken part in ordinary occasions because of his special status. But even so, there are more and more people who praise her for her words and deeds. Even her riding became extraordinary in the mouth of everyone. The reason is that she once raced horses in the Taihe Beyond Palace and took the first place.
Under the praise of the wives, Gu Rujiu, the future queen, is destined, and the combination with the emperor is like a dragon and a phoenix, as if the entire Dafeng will prosper and become strong as long as they become pro.
While Gu Rujiu was staying at home to learn various techniques in the palace, Princess Cheng had written a post to Gu's family, but Yang had reason to quit. However, Yang's refusal did not affect Princess Cheng's enthusiasm. Half a month later, she again invited Gu's female family on the ground of appreciation of plums.
Looking at the invitation in his hand, Yang looked at his daughter-in-law Hu Shi: "This Princess Princess Cheng's mind is a coincidence, but it's a pity that it's not useful."
After the princess, she just didn't treat the children left behind by the originals. Even if he treated him indifferently, others would only feel normal and would not say much. But she did not only care about others, but also allowed her children to bully and treat others slowly. That was the eldest son of Wangfu's heir, not a cat or a dog.
Well now, the eldest son who was bullied by them had good luck and became the emperor. What's the use of being afraid of now? Could it be that she thought that Gu's family would help her say good things?
To put it awkwardly, which mother-in-law can be used to bully the outsiders of her son-in-law?
"She may want to go to the doctor in a hurry," Hu took a sip of tea. "Unfortunately, although she was a little alert, her children did not pay much attention to it. Unfortunately, she lowered her face to plan around, which was useless. . "
"She asked us to go and we went?" Gu Rujiu, who was sitting next to him, had a bad tone. "If I were them, I should be honest, what should I do to run out of my majesty's eyes?"
Gu Rujiu thought that Jin Yang, the eldest eldest son of the imperial court, had been bullied by his stepmother and younger siblings when he was a child.
You bully when you want to bully people. Now that others have become emperors, do you feel regretful and want others to forgive you? With such a big face, I'm not afraid of falling to the ground.
Seeing that Aunt ’s face was not good, Hu knew that she did not like Princess Cheng ’s family, and she said:
Several Princess Cheng ’s mother and son were popular in Jinzhou, and thought that Jingcheng was the place in Jinzhou. It ’s to let others read jokes. "
Even if Ersao said so, Gu Rujiu felt that she was not so pleasing to Princess Cheng's family.
When Princess Cheng received a reply from Gu's family, she still had a little anticipation in her heart, opened it, and her face suddenly sank. Within half a month, Gu's family repeatedly rejected two invitations. Even if Princess Cheng wanted to do anything with Gu's family again, she was also annoyed.
When the three children saw that her face was not beautiful, they all helped Princess Cheng scold Gu family.
"Okay," Princess Cheng took Gu's reply post on the table and took a deep breath. "Since Gu's time is not available, forget it. I will invite them in the future."
"It's not like there's a queen at home, what kind of arrogance has happened." Jin Shuyi dissatisfied, "what is the queen, who knows whether your majesty is willing to marry her, or because of the queen mother."
"No matter what the reason is, she is the future queen," Princess Cheng said a bit tiredly. "It's almost New Year. The three of you don't want to go out recently, and learn the rules at home."
Jin Shuyi snorted without speaking. When in Jinzhou, who dared to let her be a master of discipline? When you arrive in the capital, you ca n’t do this, you ca n’t go, what's the point?
"If you didn't bully your majesty today, naturally you don't have to learn these useless rules." Princess Cheng said with a deep face, "Since you have offended people, you should honestly pick up the rules."
"If you stopped us at the beginning, we wouldn't continue to bully him," Jin Shuyi whispered, "This can't blame us all."
Princess Cheng was white with anger, and said in a deep voice: "Talk back again, don't go out in the future!" After that, regardless of the face of the children, she got up and left the house.
How worried and frightened the family of Princess Cheng is, it is not very important for Jin Yang, who has become an emperor. He is now discussing the specific specifications and procedures of the ceremony with the people in the court.
The meaning of the ritual department is that it can be arranged according to the previous ceremony, but Jin Yang felt a little dissatisfied after looking at the flow chart handed in by the ritual department.
"Since I am my queen, I should be welcomed by me, and what is the point of being welcomed by other people in the royal family?"
"Your Majesty, you are the Son of Heaven, and you have a distinguished status. How can you act like an ordinary man? This is absolutely impossible."
"According to the meaning of Zhu Qing, I am the Son of Heaven, and it is inexplicable. If the Queen is a phoenix, and other people are going to pick up relatives, wouldn't that be enough respect for the Queen?"
The ritual officials heard this speech a bit speechless, the queen is noble, that is because there is only the emperor to have a queen, how can the two be compared.
"I think that the queen is the wife of the emperor and the most honorable woman in the world. Besides me, who deserves the dignity of the queen?" Jin Yang put together the flow chart in his hand and went directly to, "Masters Come back and think about how I should arrange it in courtesy if I personally meet my relatives. "
Seeing that His Majesty insisted on welcoming the bride in accordance with the folk marriage customs, the officials of the court had to compromise. Anyway, historically, the King of God greeted the Queen is not without precedent. In the past, there was an emperor who not only stated that he would never accept the concubine in his edict, but as long as there was a queen, he would ride in a carriage with the queen.
Therefore, accustomed to all kinds of wonderful behaviors of emperors in history, the officials of the courtesy department have strong acceptance ability. Anyway, as long as it was the emperor's own willingness, and there was no principle error, the people in their courtesy department would not deliberately get along with your majesty.
Empress dowager is a good thing for Chao Tang, and they are not happy.
