Chapter 1090 Fragrant Pastry (1)

?The sky is cloudless and sunny, the birds are soaring in the blue sky, the birds are singing happily on the trees, the cranes in the pond are leisurely stroking their wings in the water, everything looks so peaceful and beautiful.

"Liu'er..." There was a thunder-like sound, and the birds on the tree flew away, and the cranes also swam towards the depths of the water in a panic.

Liu Er smiled and turned her head: "Eldest sister, don't you want to practice? Why are you here?"

Zaozao said: "I was tired, so I wanted to go out for a walk. I heard the guard in the garden say you were here, so I looked for you."

Liu Er did not believe her words. Unless there is something wrong, Zazao stays in Zhanghua Palace to read or practice.

Zao Zao said with a troubled face: "Mother didn't want us to attend the Han family's banquet in the morning, what do you think we should bring?"

Liu Er smiled and said, "It's just a matter of heart. The eldest sister can give whatever she wants, and the grandmother and the uncle will not be picky."

"That's what I said, but I can't be rude. Liu'er, I'm not very proficient in this kind of thing, you help me choose!" She was the most tired of these trivial matters of human relations, and she was unwilling to learn.

Liu Er laughed and said: "Big sister, I can help you choose now, but in the future, when you get married, you can't ask me about everything, right?" Some worry.

Zao Zao said without worry: "Mother told me that when I get married, I will ask Aunt Zhang to help me with the household affairs." This Aunt Zhang was the one who recommended her to Yuxi after she threw herself into the river and was rescued by Mother Quan that day. . Over the years, she has been assisting Mother Qu in managing her household affairs.

When Zhang Liniang first came to Yuxi, she always wanted to avenge the child who died in vain. Last year, Yunqing occupied Quanzhou, and she wanted to get revenge on her ex-husband. After sending someone to investigate, I found out that the surnamed Qian had been hoarding high-priced food during the natural disaster, and was executed by the imperial envoy who was excluded by the imperial court. And the surnamed Qian had too many enemies before his death and never had a good relationship. After his death, his son was killed by the enemies. Madam Mao, who was uprighted by his concubine, saw that it was wrong, and sent his 12-year-old daughter to be a child bride. She returned to the city herself to help people wash clothes and live. Those people would never kill an old woman no matter what. However, after the death of the youngest daughter, Mao also threw himself into the river.

When Zhang Liniang heard this, she said that good will be rewarded with good and evil will be rewarded. It is not that the time has not come for not reporting back, and then she threw away the matter.

"If that's the case, then you really don't have to worry." Although it was said that Qu's mother was in charge of the general affairs, but because Qu's mother was old, she only took care of the general affairs, and Zhang Liniang took care of the specific things. She really has nothing to worry about in the future as Zazao's wife in the inner courtyard.

After a pause, Liu Er said: "Speaking of the outside family, apart from a few people in the second room, I'm not familiar with the female relatives in the big room. And the big aunt, it seems that it is very difficult to get along with." Qiqi followed Liu Er said that Xiang Shi’s heart became bigger after giving birth to his son, and he once wanted to separate the father relationship between Brother Chang and Zhong Minxiu, but it didn’t work.

Zaozao said nonchalantly: "It's not easy to get along with, we just don't have to deal with her in the future."

After talking about such a short conversation, Zaozao asked the question just now: "You haven't said what gift you are going to give?"

Liu Er said with a smile, "I'll prepare it for you. If you have something to do, you can go, and I'm going to practice the piano too." Change place. It felt so cool.

"By the way, I will go to Shandong in a few days." The bandit troubles in Shandong are very serious, but most of the bandit troubles have been resolved after so long, and now only a few tails are left.

"Are you going to fight bandits again?" She really hoped that Zaozao could stay at home. In this way, she doesn't have to worry all the time. Of course, Zaozao is not alone at home.

Zao Zao said with a sigh, "I originally wanted to go to Changzhou, but unfortunately neither father nor mother agreed." Changzhou was the boundary between the Liaodong army and the imperial army.

Although it is said that it is better to suppress bandits than to go to the front to fight, Liu Er still wants to work hard: "Eldest sister,

The wedding date hasn't been set yet, so don't you ask your father and mother? "The wedding date is set, and Zaozao can be detained at home, so there is no need to go to the front line. Whether it is to suppress bandits or fight, it is very dangerous.

"Mother said that the wedding date will be in the spring of next year." After speaking, Zaozao said cheerfully: "The wedding date for you and Feng Zhixi should be in the spring of the next year."

Liu Er heard this and said, "Big sister, tell my mother to let our mansion be next to each other. In this way, it is also convenient to visit." Because after getting married, she has her own princess mansion, and she does not live with her in-laws, so Liu Er did not live with her in-laws. Don't worry about life after marriage.

This proposal is very much in Zaozao's heart: "As long as you are willing, I will naturally ask for it. When I have a daughter in the future, I will let her learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting with you." Although he does not like to study, Zaozao still hopes that she will Her daughter can become a multi-talented talented woman in the future.

Liu'er naturally wouldn't refuse, she just smiled deliberately and said, "Eldest sister, you won't let your future niece practice martial arts?"

"I also need to learn martial arts. But I don't force her, she can learn whatever she likes." Like studying, she also wanted to study hard, but she just couldn't read it.

Liu Er nodded and said: "Big sister can think like this." If the child is unwilling to practice martial arts and insists on forcing it, it will be very hard!

The two sisters talked for a while, and then went their own way.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the Han House banquet.

Qi Hao and the triplets were ready early, waiting for Zao Zao and Liu Er. As a result, a quarter of an hour passed, and the two sisters hadn't come out yet.

Brother Rui said irritably: "What are you going to do with the eldest sister and the second sister? It's been so long and it hasn't been healed yet?"

Qiyou put the book in his hand on his knee and said, "Second sister has to dress up, she won't come out within a quarter of an hour." He made preparations, so he carried a book with him.

Brother Rui was a little discouraged: "Women, it's really troublesome." If his future daughter-in-law was so slow, he wouldn't want to wait.

Qiyou said slowly: "Why are you telling me? You have to say this in front of the second sister." He didn't want to wait, but today's situation is special, so he can only bear it.

Brother Rui waved his hand and said, "Forget it this time. Next time I'll go first."

After another quarter of an hour, Zao Zao and Liu Er appeared. Zaozao wears a black brocade robe with auspicious cloud patterns inlaid with gold threads, a belt inlaid with an opal the size of a pigeon egg, and a pair of soap boots on his feet.

Seeing this, Qi You smiled and said, "Eldest sister, you have become heroic in this time-travel, and you will definitely steal the limelight from the eldest brother." In terms of appearance, Qi Hao is definitely better. It's just that Zao Zao has a heroic look in the first place, and once she dresses up like this, she looks more imposing than Qi Hao.

Qi Hao said with a smile, "If you delay it any longer, I'm afraid the banquet will already be held at the Han Mansion."

Zao Zao ignored Brother You, and talked to Qi Hao while walking: "I heard from my mother that you are going to Changzhou in a while?"

Qi Hao said with a smile, "I went with my father." His mother would definitely not agree to go alone.

Liu Er couldn't help but became anxious after hearing this: "Dad told me that he won't go to war again in the future?" Could it be that Daddy went back on his word.

Qi Hao explained: "It's not to go to war, it's just to inspect the military situation. But there have been too many things recently, and I'm afraid that my father may not be able to go." It's just that he has this plan, but it hasn't been decided yet.

Brother Rui said before Zao Zao, "Brother, when you go to Changzhou with your father, you must take me with you." He was quite excited when he first went to the Imperial Army. But after staying for less than two months, I got tired of it. Either catching rebels or managing law and order is too boring.

"I can't be the master of this, you can tell Dad when the time comes." If Mother didn't agree, Brother Rui wouldn't be able to go either.

After leaving the palace gate, Liu Er rode alone in a carriage, while Zao Zao and his four younger brothers rode together.

Walking on the street, Brother Xuan said uncomfortably, "Why do these people keep looking at us? Is there anything wrong with us?"

Zaozao burst out laughing: "Third brother, go out for a walk in the future, don't always stay at home and study. Otherwise, you will definitely become a nerd."

Zaozao rarely said this, but Brother You often repeated it. For this reason, Brother You always invited Brother Xuan to go out to play at the beginning, but unfortunately Brother Xuan was not interested in it and often shied away. After a long time, Qiyou stopped calling him.

Brother Xuan said with a bitter face: "Eldest sister, after staying in Qianwei Camp for so long, I have left behind a lot of homework." He actually wanted to say that he wasted time. He completely forgot that after returning from Qianweiying, his health was better than before, and he rarely got sick again.

Seeing this, Zao Zao knew that he couldn't make sense with Brother Xuan. However, he remembered this in his heart, and was ready to go back and have a good talk with Yuxi, but he couldn't make Brother Xuan really become a nerd.

At this time, Qiu was chatting with several female relatives in the pavilion in the garden.

Looking at the crystal clear lake, Tu Qingmei said with regret: "I used to hear the empress say that the lotus flowers in the lake at home are in full bloom. Whenever this time, she would play flute and paint with her sisters by the lake. It's a pity that we don't have the chance to see each other now." No one has lived in it for more than ten years, and the lake has long since dried up. It was Lu Xiu who asked someone to clean up the silt in the lake, and then brought water in.

Zhao Hao was transferred to Yunnan, and Tu Qingmei brought a family to Beijing. Zhao Hao has done some meritorious deeds over the years, so he was named a viscount. However, the other ladies in the pavilion had the lowest title as Hou, so she was obviously not enough as a Viscountess. It's just that she and the empress were close friends before, and the ladies present were all from the bottom, so no one looked down on her.

Xu Wu's wife Ling said with a smile: "I also heard from my master that the princess played the flute very well. Unfortunately, I didn't have a chance to appreciate it."

Qiu said cheerfully, "That's all rumors. Oak Xi's flute is not bad, but it's not that good." This is the truth. Oak Xi has no musical talent, so this flute can barely catch your ears.

After a pause, Mrs. Qiu took the initiative to mention: "But she is very talented in embroidery. No one taught her. At the age of eleven, she developed double-sided embroidery with just a pair of double-sided embroidery. "

Everyone in the room knew that Oak Xi could embroider on both sides, but this was the first time everyone heard about the self-taught talent.

Chang praised: "The Empress is really ingenious." This is not something that can be done with extraordinary intelligence.

Du Zheng's wife Bao Shi said with some regret: "Unfortunately, I have never been able to see the empress's masterpiece." From her marriage to Yucheng to now, Yuxi has only embroidered a pair of double-sided embroidery works, which she gave to Liu Er. That pair of tangled peony embroidery. The embroidery Liu'er is precious, and most people can't see it.

"I still have a picture of Yuxi embroidered here." When in the boudoir, Yuxi gave Qiu's several kinds of double-sided embroidery. However, only this small inset has remained until now. The rest are either destroyed or lost.

At this time, an old woman reported back, "Old Madam, Grandma Wu Gu is here with Young Master Zheng."

If you are a guest at someone else's house, unless you are a distinguished guest, you will usually arrive as early as possible. Yurong was ready to go out not long after breakfast, but she did not expect that Han Jianxing and Mrs. Li, with several children, wanted to follow Yurong to the Korean Mansion.

Yurong ignored them, and Han Jianxing and Li Shi started making trouble at the door. After dealing with this matter, the mother and son went back home and changed their clothes, so it was late.

Qiu Shi said with a smile on her face, "Quickly invite her in." Yu Rong used to have a bad temper in the boudoir, and didn't do anything evil. Qiu's impression of her is not bad. The last time I came over to chat with Qiu Shi, Yurong also specially chatted with her about some interesting things that happened in the capital over the years, which Qiu Shi liked very much.

Today, Yurong is wearing a red gold silk brocade peony pattern Beizi, an embroidered makeup skirt, a peony bun, a golden step rocker with emeralds and rubies, and a pair of gilt silk hairpins with gemstones. , with a pair of hollow beaded gilt earrings, dignified and extravagant.

As for Brother Zheng, he was wearing a white robe with flowers and a dark blue jade belt around his waist. The belt was adorned with a jade pendant of rich and noble mutton fat, and his hair was tied up with an agarwood hairpin. He's so handsome, he's very handsome.

When people are old, they will like children very much, especially good-looking children. Qiu Shi took Brother Zheng's hand and carefully looked at the smile on his face: "This kid, he looks really talented." The more he looked, the more he liked it.

It was the first time that Yizheng was praised so frankly, and his face instantly turned red.

After saying a few words, Zheng Ge'er was led by his mother-in-law to a group of people of his age.

Qiu looked at Yurong and asked, "How old is Brother Zheng this year?" Hearing that Brother Zheng was sixteen years old this year, Qiu couldn't help but ask, "Are you engaged?"

Yurong shook her head and said, "No. I want to wait for him to end next year, and then I will talk to him after he gets the fame."

A good-looking person has an advantage. In addition, Brother Zheng was polite and polite in front of everyone, and he didn't show any timidity, so Chang's impression of Brother Zheng was very good. Now that she heard that she was not engaged, a thought came to her mind. However, she would not open her mouth without knowing the details. I think when I told the Ding family about their marriage, not only Ding Sanyang was too earnest, but the old goddess of the Ding family also behaved very well at that time. Before getting married, she also said that she would treat Lian Wu as her own daughter. As a result, in just a few years, the nature was exposed. Although Cui Qianqian is not her daughter, she doesn't want to let her suffer these losses.
