happy event

Chapter 182 Good News
In this way, within a month, the entire capital witnessed the domineering of Zhongshan Wang and his wife. Some people said behind their backs, "As soon as the old prince and concubine passed away, Zhongshan King inherited the title, and he no longer has any scruples. It's my nature. I'm afraid you're just pretending that you're romantic and all-rounder, right?"

"That's right, Princess Zhongshan was born in a peasant family, and she suddenly married into the palace. She doesn't know how to show off her prestige for a while. As the old saying goes, you are most afraid of the blooming of leopards and the fever of horse dung. This is absolutely true..."

It was a crisp autumn day, the afternoon sun had just set to the west, and there was no wind in the garden.Dong Rong sat on a deck chair and enjoyed the scenery while eating grapes and melons. The grapes of this season have just been beaten by frost and are at their sweetest. The melons have just been transported from the distant Shali, with green skins and red gourds. Cut into small pieces and put them on a large crystal plate, even if you don’t eat and just look at them, you will feel extraordinarily happy and sweet.

Dong Rong had a big appetite recently, and the more she ate, the happier she was. Seeing that the plate was almost empty, she still refused to stop. Zizhu remembered Mr. Feng's instructions, so she hurriedly removed the fruit plate and exchanged it for a cup of warm bone soup porridge.

Dong Rong wiped her hands, and complained a little, "I can't live through this day. I can't even eat a grape. It's really boring."

Zizhu giggled and coaxed, "Madam likes to eat. I have picked all the grapes on the shelf and dried them in the past few days. After Madam gave birth to the young master, I can eat as much as I want. However, I can't do it right now." Eat more."

Dong Rong was discouraged, and turned to hold the sweet white cup and asked while slowly drinking the porridge, "Isn't there a letter from my hometown yet? At this time, I guess the appointment has already started."

Zizhu took out two freshly baked small cakes from the snack box and put them on a white porcelain plate, and said with a smile, "Madam, don't worry, our second young master is good-looking, good at poetry and prose, and kind-hearted. The Yang family just doesn't accept dowry gifts." I also want to marry the girl."

"Stop! Where did the dead girl learn such weird words?" Dong Rong glared at Zizhu reproachfully, and said with a smile, "Whose girl was not brought up pampered, she just understands our difficulties, we must not be impolite. From now on Once you get married, you are a family, so you can't be negligent."

"Oh, ma'am, I'm just talking. The second young master is now a Juren, who dares to neglect Madam Juren?"

Mentioning her younger brother Zhongju, Dong Rong smiled even more joyfully, and said with a smile, "The days go by so fast, it seems that brother Ping was following me before and behind me. I'm going to marry a wife."

"That's not true, life is passing quickly. After all, my brother and I have been here for more than half a year."

While the master and servant were expressing emotion, Murong Huaide turned in from afar from the garden gate.Dong Rong saw the joy on his face, so she stood up while supporting the chair and asked with a smile, "Is there any happy event, it's rare to see you smiling recently?"

Murong Huaide saw his wife struggling to stand up with her abnormally large belly, so he rushed to him in a panic, helped her to sit up, and then complained, "It's good to sit and talk if you have something to say, you always torment yourself do what?"

Dong Rong took his arm with a smile, and asked, "I'm bored at home. I only pretended to be a bully once and was grounded. On the contrary, some people heard that they fought for a singer a few days ago? Today's song Ji Du came to the door and begged me to take her into the mansion. She said she didn't ask for anything, but only wanted to serve in our room. Listen, she is going to come into my bedroom, and she said she didn't ask..."

Murong Huaide pretended to tidy up his wife's dress with some guilty conscience. In fact, he was also a little annoyed yesterday because he was trapped in the capital. Made a fuss in the restaurant and saved the diva.I didn't expect this singer to come to the palace. It seems that in the future, I should look for the bad luck of the Imperial Academy and the Taixue, so as to save them from thinking about dragging themselves into the muddy water of the position.As for others, especially women, it's better not to provoke them. If he angers his beloved wife, he will regret it too late.

Thinking of this, he laughed and said perfunctorily, "I just solved the diva's embarrassment for a while, why did she have the audacity to come to the door? Just let someone kick her out, let alone the bedroom. There is no place for her to stand in the whole mansion."

After finishing speaking, he quickly changed the subject again, "Just now there was news that Brother Ping and Mr. Yang's family have rushed to the capital, and they will reach the gate of the city in seventy or eighty miles."

"What? Brother Ping is here!" Dong Rongxi almost jumped up. He didn't remember what singer and dancer she was. She grabbed her husband and asked, "Did Brother Ping come by himself? Which one did you sit in?" A caravan? Who will be there to serve, but is there a guard?"

Murong Huaide couldn't bear his wife's anxiety, so he quickly replied carefully, "Don't worry, Brother Ping is traveling with Mr. Yang's family, and Guanshi Zhang is also taking care of the car. There are thirteen cars in total, so there will be no danger. And I also sent guards to secretly follow suit, and it was the guards who brought the news back. You just need to prepare food and clothes, and you will probably be able to see Brother Ping by this time tomorrow."

"That's great, why did this brat abduct Mr. Yang's family? I have to get someone to tidy up the yard quickly..." As she spoke, she was about to get up and go to make arrangements, which caused Murong Huaide to stop her quickly. "Oh, don't be in a hurry, they won't arrive until tomorrow afternoon. Besides, the Yang family has an old house in the capital, so they won't borrow the palace. I guess Mr. Yang also has plans to marry a daughter in the capital. Don't worry, Brother Ping will take the exam alone, and only then will the whole family go to Beijing."

"Speaking of which, I would like to thank Mr. Yang, he was really considerate to Brother Ping. Then I will ask someone to go to the restaurant to book a table, and send it to Yang's house tomorrow night, so as to save them all the way, and finally arrive. Start the fireworks."

"Okay, you can arrange these things as you like. In addition, Brother Ping and five or six classmates will also follow, and we should also make arrangements for food and lodging."

"But Xu Mao and the others?" Dong Rong couldn't help laughing when she thought of her younger brother's good brothers, "At the beginning they were imprisoned in the military camp and suffered together, and now they come to the world of flowers and flowers in Kyoto together. , Blessed to share."

Murong Huaide had also heard about the embarrassing things about his brother-in-law, so he said with a smile, "They are young and lively. Living in the palace may make them feel restrained. Why don't you arrange a yard in another courtyard for them to settle in? Make it easier."

"Okay, that's a good idea." Dong Rong was in a good mood, and kissed her husband generously, and finally called Zizhu to come over with a pen and paper, and she wanted to make a list for the steward to go out buy.After all, with so many people coming at once, there are a lot of trivial matters to be arranged for basic necessities of life.

Murong Huaide accompanied him with a teacup, and suddenly remembered that he forgot to mention that Second Sister Cao was also in the car, but seeing his wife's flushed face, he swallowed the words again, thinking of it as a surprise for her... …

In the afternoon of the second day, on the official road outside the north gate of Kyoto, a convoy came from a distance, which was not conspicuous among the many vehicles, horses and pedestrians entering and leaving.It's just that the exclamations from the carriages at the end made the passers-by who heard them raise their chins unconsciously, and muttered in their hearts that it was another country bumpkin from other places who entered the city, and they were dumbfounded.

Dong Ping pulled away Xu Mao who was clinging to the car window and refused to move, looked up at the sun hanging above his head, hesitating whether to ask his husband to take a rest for a while.As the old saying goes, Wangshan is a dead horse. Although the majestic city walls of Kyoto are already faintly visible, it will take at least half an hour to reach the gate of the city. Everyone has an empty stomach, so how can they enter the city hungry all the way.

That's exactly what he was thinking, but the convoy suddenly stopped by the side of the road. Steward Zhang trotted up to him and reported with a smile, "Second young master, our lord has brought someone to greet you. Mr. Yang has already got off the car, you Hurry up and go with all the young masters."

"Oh, brother-in-law is here!" When Murong Huaide was still a fool of the Cao family, Dong Ping and him got along very well. After Murong Huaide came to Beijing, the correspondence between the two has never been broken.Hearing that his brother-in-law had come to pick him up so suddenly, Dong Ping immediately smiled happily.

"Clean up your clothes quickly, and follow me to see King Zhongshan." Dong Ping quickly straightened his clothes and yelled to his lazy classmates and friends.

Xu Mao responded with a smile, "This is the first time we have met a member of the royal family, brothers, don't weaken the name of our Bailu Academy!"

While talking, everyone jumped out of the car one after another after tidying up, waving folding fans in their hands, and walking in square steps, which is really a bit of a romantic and unrestrained posture of a literati.

Dong Ping didn't have time to play with them, so he strode to the front of the convoy, and when he saw Murong Huaide who was chatting with Mr. Yang, he shouted happily, "Brother-in-law, why are you here? My sister is having a good time these days." ?”

"It's all good." Murong Huaide patted Dong Ping's shoulders, and responded with a smile, "Your sister has been talking about you all day, but fortunately you came early, otherwise I would have sent someone back to pick you up."

At this time, Xu Mao and others also rushed to the front, and Dong Ping introduced them one by one.Murong Huaide turned to Mr. Yang and said with a smile, "If you don't worry, Mr. Ping, you might as well let students like Brother Ping live in the other courtyard of our Wangfu. It is spacious and quiet, and it is quite convenient to go to Yang's and Wangfu on weekdays."

When Xu Mao and the others heard this, joy immediately appeared on their faces. They don't have to live in the palace and there is no husband to supervise and guard them at all times. How could they not like such a free residence?
Mr. Yang glanced at the hopeless disciples, and thanked them with a smile, "Then this old man thanked the lord on behalf of a few bad guys."

"You're being polite, sir. I'm tired from the journey today, so I won't bother you to go back to the mansion to rest. After a few days, the king will buy wine and invite you to the palace as a guest. How about it?"

"Very good."

Dong Ping was listening to his husband and brother-in-law exchanging greetings, and he was so impatient that he wished he could rush to the palace in one step.After finally waiting for everyone to get into the carriage, they hurried to the city gate.The waist badge of the Zhongshan Prince's Mansion cleared the way, and no one without a good eye dared to block the way. The convoy entered the city smoothly all the way, and then separated at the gate of the city.

Dong Rong stood inside the second gate of the palace, almost stretched her neck in anticipation, and from time to time drove Fuzi and the others out to have a look.Finally hearing the carriage rushing in from the side door, she couldn't help but picked up the corner of her skirt and looked through the hanging flower door.
