Chapter 782 Old Fried Tiao

Chapter 782 Old Fried Tiao

Ningguo Mansion, the mansion bestowed by the emperor back then, when it first came to Beijing, a large area of ​​the mansion was empty, and the mansion awarded to Ningguo Mansion was no worse than the Wangye Mansion. Two gardens have been built, one is exclusive to the Duke, and the other is open.

The bamboo orchid is still very stable. She is someone who has been in the palace. There are so many precious flowers in this mansion. She has opened her eyes after passing by. Although the mansion is not luxurious, a single flower is not worth much. Fei, it's really low-key luxury.

Look at the table where you sat down, look at the tea set and other objects, those who understand feel the wealth of the Duke's Mansion.

Speaking of which, there were not many people invited to today's flower banquet, and at a glance, Zhulan saw many familiar faces, all of whom were family members of high-ranking officials.

The sitting position is also very particular. Zhulan thinks that she sits a bit too far in the front, and the family members of the officials around her are not familiar with her. Look at the lady on the left of the Minister of Rites!

The lady of the Ministry of Rites snorted, Zhulan heard it clearly, and after thinking about it, she understood what was going on. The Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites was surnamed Feng, the uncle of the Fourth Prince, and the Feng family was quite powerful. She was sitting next to her. dislike; despise.

Shizi's wife, Mrs. Du, also heard it. Thinking of Mrs. Zhou's instructions, she must treat Mrs. Zhou's family with respect, and she must not be neglected. Let's go together, I didn't go, we meet today, and we will toast Mrs. Zhou with tea instead of wine."

Zhulan picked up the teacup, "Anyone who sees the events of that day will reach out, Mrs. Shizi is too polite."

Du Shi smiled, "That's not necessarily true, the Zhou family's upbringing is good."

Mrs. Shizi first respected Zhulan. This reminder reminded everyone that the Zhou family had some relationship with the Duke's Mansion, and their attitude towards Zhulan was quite restrained.

Zhulan took a look around, but no one was making trouble for Mrs. Shizi in the Duke's Mansion. I think so, although the Crown Prince was attacked by the emperor several times, Ningguo's Mansion relied not only on the Crown Prince, but also on the merits of saving her back then. , as long as the crown prince is not really deposed and the emperor is still alive, no one dares to act presumptuously in the Duke's Mansion.

Mrs. Shizi has too many people to socialize with, Zhulan is also happy to be leisurely, sipping tea slowly, she is an official of the third rank, and she can't be in the eyes of the lady of the Ministry of Rites.

As soon as Zhulan turned her head, the group of girls had disappeared, thinking that Xuehan was protecting Yushuang, she felt a lot more at ease.

In the main courtyard of the Duke's Mansion, the Duke's wife asked her great-granddaughter,

"Why did you come here by yourself, Miss Zhou?"

Ning Ting was very depressed, "Grandma, Miss Zhou is too cautious, Ting'er tried her best to lure her here."

She thinks she is very smart, she is the person who is most like a grandfather, much smarter than her parents, she was very confident when she was given the task of being a grandma, but now she is not able to deal with it.

The Duke's wife snorted, "Don't say that you are smart in the future, I think you are just like your father."

Ning Ting stared, his father is the eldest son, well, father is really stupid, she is not like father, "Grandma, why do you insist on seeing Miss Zhou? Miss Zhou is engaged, and she is a few years older than my brother Well, there are quite a few ladies here today, do you want to see the other ladies?"

Mrs. Duke, "It's different."

Miss Zhou is the wife of the future grandson, which is different from other young ladies.

Mrs. Guogong felt angry when she thought of her husband. She had to recognize Rong Chuan, so she told her that she had seen Rong Chuan's portrait. .

She didn't mean to find fault, she knew in her heart that the emperor and queen didn't regret the marriage, and her son agreed that Miss Zhou was really good, she just wanted to see, "Forget it, I'll go to the garden in person, you help me go together .”

Ning Ting was stunned. Grandma seldom left the courtyard. Today she went all day for Miss Zhou. Her feelings told her that today's flower feast was for Miss Zhou. However, Miss Zhou was the daughter of the servant of the household department. ?

In the garden, Zhulan felt that she was the most relaxed at today's banquet. The officials around her ignored her, and Zhulan was also happy to watch the show. Similarly, Zha's wife, Minister of Rites, pours tea directly.

Zhulan had heard a lot of gossip, the Minister of Rites had many daughters, and many daughters had been married over the years, the Feng family's foundation was also solid when counting the dowry.

Over the years, the Feng family has used their daughters' in-laws to attract many people.

Minister of the Ministry of Officials, according to Zhou Shuren's words, this lord does not support anyone, but he is a very slippery old fritter. He talks nonsense when he sees people, and he talks nonsense when he sees people. You can't catch big problems, but small problems keep going. Zhou Shuren's meaning , Master Wang deliberately sat in the position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and many people stared at him. If he was perfect, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials would have changed people long ago.

Zhulan sighed in her heart, not to mention the adults in the officialdom are acting school, so are their wives.

On the other side of the garden, the Duke's wife finally saw Zhou Xuehan, and waved her hands, "I see that you have a good eye, come here and let me have a look."

Xuehan was speechless, so just now Miss Ning kept trying to lure her away, all because of Mrs. Guogong, at this moment Xuehan understood everything, Rong Chuan's life experience in Ningguo Mansion is not a secret, stepped forward, noticed Liu Xuehan didn't step over Miss Liu's outstretched foot, and didn't step on it. Instead, she stopped, "Miss Liu's feet don't feel right?"

All of a sudden they noticed Miss Liu's feet. Although they didn't raise them very high, the idiot knew why Miss Liu stretched out her feet. Miss Liu retracted her feet with a blushing face.

Mrs. Guo frowned. This Ms. Liu, she knew that she wanted her younger son to get married at the beginning, but the younger son was not too young, so she lowered the standard. Ms. Liu was among the families selected. Later, her son had health problems. I didn't mention it again when I got married, and I felt embarrassed to invite the Liu family this time, I didn't expect that my conduct was so bad.

Ms. Liu wished she could find a crack in the ground to get in, her face was hot, she secretly hated Zhou Xuehan for stepping aside, then her cheeks turned pale, there was no news from the Duke's Mansion, but her father was still thinking about it, it was over.

In Zhoujia Village, when Changzhi took the first class of students, he had a famous teacher, and he read a lot since he was a child. Later, his collection of books in his family increased, and he kept accumulating them. Point people to pick up, or ask meaning, or opinion.

After one class, Changzhi had a solid understanding of Class A. During the break, Changzhi met the patriarch who was waiting on the sidelines.

Patriarch Zhou was in a state of confusion, Chang Zhi's question, only a small number of people in Class A did not make a mistake, "How is it?"

Changzhi smiled, "These children are all good, but their foundation is still lacking, and their views are immature and childish. It is good to read more and learn more in the future."
