Mysterious Tang Dynasty

Chapter 202
At this time, there is still a period of time before the New Year, and everyone does not need to be busy with testing the spirit root for the time being.On the contrary, the Sui Palace has already sent someone over, ready to take the Fourth Lady Li Lijun home for the New Year.

Li Lijun fell down very timely and pretended to be sick.

It is also God's "beauty". The weather has been extremely cold in the past few days, and there have been two heavy snowfalls in succession. The Saga Mountain is covered with snow, and the surrounding fields are all white.It is said that the people in the surrounding villages do not like to go out now.Some people have discovered the heated kang popular in Saga Mountain Villa and Forest Farm, and they think it is very good. They are queuing up for craftsmen who can build a kang to help them get one for their homes.

There was no kang in Li Lijun's house, but considering that there are many servants in the other industry, and even a few places for the guards to live, if the nuns sent by the Sui Palace see her in this little master's house Instead, she didn't have this thing, and she might blame the careless people around her, so Li Lijun even used magic at night to build a big kang in the west room of the main house, which was seven or eight square meters in size. The nuns and maids gathered there to do their needlework.

So Wang Momo and Song Momo sent by Concubine Dou saw Si Niangzi lying pitifully on the warm big kang, covered with a slightly thick quilt, her face was flushed, her palms were cold, and she was covering her body from time to time. He coughed twice.Erhong and Qiuxiang, two maids beside her, wiped her sweat from time to time, with worried faces on their faces.The nurse, Mrs. Shao, watched the fire and boiled the medicine in person, while Mrs. Cui and Mrs. Lu stood by the kang and introduced Si Niangzi to the two Mrs. Wang and Song.

Yes, I was planning to go back to Beijing, half of the luggage was packed, and the carriages and horses were checked, so there was no problem.As a result, it snowed suddenly at night, the fourth lady didn't pay attention for a while, got up early to look at the snow scene, and caught a cold.I have already invited a doctor to come for diagnosis and treatment, prescribed medicine, and took two doses, a little bit of improvement, but the fever has not completely subsided, and I feel dizzy when I get up, I am afraid it will be inconvenient to go back to Beijing by car. The journey is more than 100 miles, and we have to spend the night halfway. If one of them is not taken care of, I am afraid that the condition will worsen.Even if they return to the palace, they can only stay in the house to recuperate, and cannot participate in the New Year's activities in the palace.

In fact, the fourth lady is wearing heavy filial piety, even if she returns to the Sui Palace, it will not be convenient for her to participate in any New Year celebrations.

Are there many people in Bieye who are sick because of the heavy snow?Not too much, this year, because of the kang, and the four ladies are generous, no one is allowed to go out to work in the wind and snow, so only a few elderly servants or weak children fell ill.What's more, Shi Qing, the valet beside Si Niangzi, was infected with the cold because she had to take care of the sick little master, and now she is lying in her room.Erhong and Qiuxiang are physically stronger, and they are fine for the time being, but it is uncertain when they will catch the cold, so Mrs. Shao does not let them have too much contact with other maids, for fear of passing on the illness to other people in Bieye. people.

The fourth lady really misses her family. She wants to see her grandparents, father, and brothers and sisters. However, she is suffering from this disease now. Even if she can get home safely, she is afraid that she will get angry with her relatives and make it difficult for everyone to have a good New Year. .

Cui and Lu's two mothers talked repeatedly, and summed up, there are only two points: one is that the fourth lady Li Lijun's illness is not serious, but she can't make it on her way; If you are victimized, it will be bad if you infect other nobles in the palace.

The two nuns of King Song are the confidantes of Princess Dou. They were not obsessed with whether Li Lijun would return to Beijing, but because King Sui really hoped to see a family reunion in the New Year, with grandchildren and sons around him. , everyone is kind, and all grievances and grievances have been wiped out, so they repeatedly asked his wife to take the little granddaughter back.Concubine Dou always saw that Li Dai was not pleasing to the eye, and she disapproved of King Sui's order in her heart, and even the nuns around her did not force Si Niangzi to reconcile with the heir king.

Therefore, after listening to the explanations of the two nuns Cui and Lu, and seeing that the fourth lady is indeed sickly, not a sick face painted with powder, the two nuns of Song and Wang expressed condolences to Li Lijun After seeing the prescription, he withdrew respectfully.

Li Lijun asked Cui Lu and the two mothers to greet the two envoys of Princess Dou to stay in Bieye for one night, and after a good meal, they will be politely sent back tomorrow, and they will also bring along the annual gift she prepared for their grandparents Come back, even if you get away with not going home for the New Year.

At the same time, the two mothers of King Song brought back to Beijing, as well as the two paintings she painted a few days ago. In addition to the "Country Puppet Picture", there is also "In Front of Qingliang Temple Gate", which she drew according to herself. I have seen the scene in front of the mountain gate of Qingliang Temple, and I drew a picture of the bustling scene when the monks in the temple were doing large-scale rituals, and the surrounding pilgrims and people gathered.The lines are also simple and vivid, both down-to-earth and festive. The previous painting is obviously immature, and the hand lines are not well drawn. The latter one is obviously improved, and the hand painting is much better. , what is rare is that the Buddha statues in the temple are also painted with benevolent eyebrows, which captures the three-point charm of the Great Buddha of Qingliang Temple.

The King of Sui was intelligent since he was a child, and he was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. In the past few decades, he believed in Buddhism, and he often had people draw various Buddha statues to worship, or engraved Buddhist scriptures to distribute everywhere.He looked at these two paintings, nothing else, and he would definitely praise the Buddha statue painted by his little granddaughter.

Mother Cui also told the two mothers of the King of Song about how the fourth lady observes the hands of the people around her so that she can improve her painting skills. As long as the two of the King of Song mention it in front of the King of Sui after returning home, Li Lijun will make a request for herself to paint in the new year. It's not surprising that the people under him called over to observe the hands.

In order to ensure that the two kings of Song would not say the wrong thing when they returned to Beijing, so that their own little lady would go to the trouble, she specially wrapped a big red envelope for them, and asked them to help say good things when they returned, pretending to be worried about Li Lijun If you don't go home for the New Year, you will make Sui Wang and his wife and heir Wang angry.The two kings of Song were very calm, and instead comforted her: "Don't worry, the king is busy now, and he will not be free during the Chinese New Year. He may not care whether the fourth lady returns home or not."

Probably because the attitude of the two mothers Cui and Lu was friendly enough, and the red envelopes they gave were also delightful. The two mothers of King Song also kindly told them about the news that happened in the Sui Palace after Mother Lu left Beijing, such as Si Wang Lidai was originally very angry that the Yang family was talking nonsense outside, but was moved by Yang Liuniang's constant care and love for the eldest son. His attitude has softened, and he even asked people to prepare the annual gift for the Yang family. Compared with previous years Only reduced by [-]%.

Although it was [-]% less, Li Dai's gifts to Yue's family have always been beyond specifications.[-]% less, but returned to normal levels.As soon as this gift was delivered to the Yang family, the Yang family breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that their relationship with the in-laws of the Sui Palace was restored.The two families are discussing that they will pick an auspicious day in the next year, and carry Yang Liuniang into the Sui Palace to be Li Dai's concubine.

Although the Yang family very much hoped that Yang Liuniang could formally enter the family to be his wife, but under the premise that Li Dai was not letting go, and his family had done something wrong before, they had no capital to take Qiao anymore. I had to pretend to be happy and send my daughter out.

Li Dai is still very happy and looking forward to this matter, but the King of Sui sent an order to Princess Dou not to let it be done, and only sent three or five servants to pull people into the palace with a small cart. If the wedding banquet can be avoided, Yang Liuniang is asked to live in the side room of the east courtyard, and she is treated like other concubines. She is not allowed to move into the west courtyard where her sister Xiao Yang lived. It's over.

Yang Liuniang accepted the arrangement.
