happy event

Chapter 159
As for Concubine Liu's aunt and nephew finally seeing the true face of the vixen in Lushan, she was even more disappointed and annoyed.Especially Liu Xiaozhen almost tore the handkerchief in her hand, her appearance is more than ten times more beautiful than this woman, why does my cousin just turn a blind eye to her?On the contrary, he treats this ugly peasant woman like a pearl like a jewel. Could it be that he really fell under the enchantment of this vixen?
No matter how complicated everyone's minds were, they all knelt in the yard after the incense table was set.The king's servant unfolded the golden imperial decree and read it loudly. After a long period of gorgeous rhetoric, he finally said, "Now there is a daughter of the Dong family in Qingxian County, who is virtuous and loyal. I will marry Murong Qiu, the son of the prince of Zhongshan, as the official concubine. You will be rewarded with a hundred pieces of brocade. There are eight plates of jewellery, and one handle of jade ruyi. Here it is!"

"Thank you, Lord Long, long live my emperor!" Murong Huaide led the crowd to kowtow to thank him. Guanshi Zhang, who had received an errand to inspect the shop, happened to come back to the other courtyard. flowers.He quickly called the servants to take the cloth and other rewards, and then sent the king's servant out for the master. Needless to say, he stuffed a large banknote, and the old eunuch got on his horse and left contentedly.

Murong Huaide personally helped up his beloved wife who was still a little dazed and at a loss, and joked with a smile, "Although you were frightened this time, fortunately, the compensation is quite generous. From now on, you can walk sideways in this capital. "

Dong Rong came back to her senses, glared at him in embarrassment, and said angrily, "I'm not a crab, what are you doing walking sideways?" After talking about the previous adventures, she sighed again, "It's said that wealth and wealth come from danger. , the ancients did not deceive me."

Murong Huaide wanted to say a few words of comfort, but Liu Xiaozhen, who had been kneeling on the ground over there, went crazy.She didn't expect that the position she racked her brains to calculate would be so easily taken by a peasant girl.

That's the main concubine, the mistress of the entire palace, one of the most honorable women in the entire Daqi, even if she enters the palace with the support of her aunt in the future, she can only be a side concubine, and she still has to kneel down to a peasant girl Kowtow, how embarrassing is this for her!

"Ah! No, I don't accept it! It's mine, it's mine!" Liu Xiaozhen yelled frantically, and finally got up and stumbled out of the mansion, "Lie, that lowly eunuch lied. The emperor must be He was bribed to make me the imperial concubine, he lied!"

Concubine Liu was also dissatisfied with the imperial decree, seeing her niece like this made her feel distressed and annoyed.She called out to the maids and women loudly, "Hurry up and help the lady get into the car and go back to the palace!"

Nanny Shu and Hongyu hurriedly chased them out, and managed to get the noisy master half-pushed and half-grabbed into the carriage.Concubine Liu stared at her son and daughter-in-law who were standing in the same place, and said bitterly, "Don't think that you can be satisfied with the marriage given by the emperor. As long as I live for a day, don't expect me to accept a peasant girl as my daughter-in-law!"

After that, she turned around and went out to get into the carriage.

Dong Rong secretly rolled her eyes, but in the end she pushed her frowning husband, and persuaded her very sensiblely, "I'll go back to the backyard to have a rest, you can follow me to have a look. That cousin seems very angry , don’t cause trouble and blame it on us.”

Murong Huaide gently hugged his understanding wife, and said in a low voice, "Okay, I will go early and return early."

Dong Rong pushed him away, pouted and said, "Remember, if you want to drink white fungus soup, you have to go home. My craft is better!"

Murong Huaide laughed loudly, he really loved his wife's awkward and cute temper, especially her jealous appearance.If it wasn't for the current timing, he really wanted to hug her and get close to her for a while.It's a pity that my old lady can't just ignore it.

He sighed secretly, and kissed his beloved wife's forehead again. Seeing her blushing, he pushed himself hard with his small hands, and then turned and left.

Liu Xiaozhen smashed all the snack boxes and teacups in the car, crying and making a fuss to go back to Liu's house.Concubine Liu couldn't help it, so she had to send Hongyu back to Liu's house to let her know.But when the carriage arrived at the gate of Liu's house, there were only seven or eight maids who went up to pick up their young lady, and then closed the door, without any intention of welcoming her into the house.

Concubine Liu stood under the carriage, looking at the closed door of her mother's house, she felt the stars falling in front of her eyes.My heart regretted that I shouldn't have patted my chest to make a promise, otherwise my niece would not be sure that she would be the crown prince, and naturally she would not be so gaffe today.

Back then, because she insisted on marrying the King of Zhongshan as a concubine, the Liu family lost face in Shilin. She originally wanted to help her niece to the position of princess, so as to repay the debt of conscience owed to the Liu family, so that she could walk into the Liu family with her head held high. door.Unfortunately, things backfired.After this incident, perhaps this important door will never be opened for her in her lifetime...

Murong Huaide arrived on horseback from afar, seeing the concubine mother fainting, he rushed forward to help her get into the car and go back to the palace.Fortunately, because the prince was seriously ill, there were two imperial physicians stationed in the palace, and one of them was invited to check the pulse. The princess drank the sedative soup and fell asleep. The whole palace finally ended the chaos and returned to peace.

Murong Huaide stood on the steps in front of the palace with his hands behind his back, looking at the capital slowly falling into darkness from afar, he felt exhausted in his heart.If he had a choice, he would rather be a fool of the Cao family. Maybe the food and clothing would not be so luxurious, but his life would be peaceful and joyful.You don't have to deal with the temptations of your uncle all day long, you don't have to be judged by others, you don't have to be trapped in this square inch city and cannot leave.

It's a pity that there are his biological parents here, and now one is dying, and the other has struggled for many years before he tasted the fruit of victory.Even if he knew that this capital was a muddy quagmire, he could only jump in holding his nose.It's just that he suffered from his wife and children, left the land of Taoyuan full of flowers, and accompanied him in the mud...

The sun, which had been majestic for a day, finally set on the horizon, and the evening wind was much cooler as a result.People who had dinner took their benches and cattail fans out of the house one after another, gathered at a certain street corner to chat, drink herbal tea, and enjoy a rare leisure time.

In the other courtyard of the Wangfu, Zizhu and Yiba had just moved out of the dining table from the main room, when Wenniang happened to pass by with a piece of Gesha in her arms.So the two little girls went forward and hugged Wenniang's arms, one left and one right, and asked, "Aunt Wen, the master hasn't come back at this time, Madam may be feeling uncomfortable, just now I only ate half a bowl of red bean rice And a few chopsticks for side dishes. What should I do?"

Wen Niang was so funny that she wanted to pat the heads of the two girls, but she held Ge Sha in her arms again, so she could only comfort her in a low voice, "It's very hot today, Madam was frightened again, it's normal to have a bad appetite You might as well prepare some easy-to-digest food, and the master will definitely have another meal with the master when he comes back later."

"Really? Then I have to go to the kitchen to get ready." Zizhu happily lifted up her skirt and ran away, while Yiba hurriedly picked up the small table and shouted, "Sister Zizhu, wait for me, let's make it for the master." That preserved egg and lean pork porridge!"

"Come on, that's what you like to eat. When Madam sees you drooling, I'm sure she will reward you with more than half of it."

"Sister Zizhu wronged others, I always wait for the master to finish eating before cleaning the bottom of the basin..."

The two little girls walked away noisy and noisy, leaving Wenniang with a helpless smile and entered the living room of the main house.Dong Rong was sitting under the lamp drawing patterns, and when she saw her coming in, she asked, "Did you find Ge Sha?"

Wen Niang nodded, "I found it. There are a total of eight horses in the storeroom. I found a horse that has passed the rain. If Madam doesn't like it, I'll change it."

"No, this one is very good." Dong Rong started to unroll the Ge gauze roll, and finally showed the pattern to Wen Niang.Wen Niang is also good at needlework, seeing that the patterns drawn by the master are not too complicated, so she just took the scissors and cut the material.

Dong Rong listened carefully to the fact that there was still no movement outside the courtyard, and she was a little disappointed in her heart, but half of it showed on her face.She told Wen Niang to light two more candles, and while she leaned against the window and sewed clothes, she talked about household chores.

"I used to think that I would go back to Qing County after staying here for a few days, but now that I have received the royal seal, I am afraid that I will not be able to leave for a while. I am too lazy to take care of housework. Fortunately, our family has a small population. You are in charge, the kitchen belongs to Zizhu, and the clothes belong to Yiba that girl. If something happens, if the three of you can’t handle it, you can choose two people from the front yard. Remember to be reliable and not talkative.”

"Yes, ma'am." Wen Niang's subordinates helped to separate the threads, and said with a rare smile, "Madam, let's go to the warehouse someday to have a look, not to mention the jewelry made of materials that the emperor rewarded today, it seems that the master has found a lot of good things from somewhere. Son, it is more than three points full than the warehouse of the Four Seasons Garden, and I was dazzled when I entered it just now."

"Yo, so we've made a fortune. When we go back to the north, remind me to take them all away. When Brother Ping is hired or Second Sister gets married, I don't need to spend money on buying things."

"Then I'll record the booklet tomorrow and show it to my wife for review."

"Okay, classify according to the precious level. Don't mix them together, and it will be easy to find when you use them."

The master and servant were chatting lively, but Murong Huaide turned out from behind the French screen at the door, and said with a smile, "What are you talking about, so lively?"

Dong Rong immediately put down the clothes in her hand, greeted her with a smile, and said angrily, "I was planning to move all the good things in the warehouse back to Qing County while you were away. If you come back later, This yard may have been emptied by me."

Murong Huaide explained with a smile, "On the way back, I met two new friends. Let me wait a little longer. Have you had dinner yet?"

Wen Niang was quietly retreating, and when she heard this, she said respectfully, "Master, Madam didn't eat much just now, and Zizhu has prepared food again, do you want to serve it again?"

"Bring it up." Murong Huaide nodded, and finally helped his beloved wife, whose belly was growing by the day, to sit firmly, and finally asked while changing a homely thin shirt, "But I don't have a good appetite, and I'm still tired of eating Zizhu’s craftsmanship? There are a lot of delicious food in this capital, tomorrow I will find two novelties for you to change your taste.”
