Chapter 216 Mrs. Deng Guo on
Serving Yuanxiu after breakfast, he folded the borrowed dress neatly. Because Yuanxiu planned to leave immediately, but he didn't have time to return it after washing, Yuanxiu said, "You go to the yard over there and tell me, and you can buy this dress."
It didn't take long to pick green, but she brought back a green maid. She was 15 or 16 years old, her eyebrows were beautiful, and her skin was very white. The servant knew the master. The female guest in this Cuiwei Temple was not low, and the girl was also generous when she came to Yuanxiu. Then she saluted the green. Her green face was a little strange, in front of the green The maid said directly, "A family, the person who sent the dress yesterday is Mrs. Deng Guo, who is holding a fast food in two empty courtyards. I heard that the A family is here and wants to bring my nephew to visit the A family."
Yuan Xiu frowned. She was not afraid to see Deng Guo's wife Li's - Wang Zhan was originally the assassin of Bianzhou. After Feng Chun succeeded to the throne, he became the Duke of Deng according to the usual example. Naturally, Li also had to order Mrs. Deng Guo as her husband. However, she didn't expect that Li, who was far away in Chang'an, happened to hold a fast in this Cuiwei Temple. On her side, she happened to detain Li's cousin Li Shiniang. I don't know if Yuan Beihe took people to deal with Yi's father-in-law and Li Shiniang's maids yesterday, whether she was noticed by Li's subordinates?
The maid in green followed Cai Lv and bowed down, and said in a clear voice, "Niang, see your master!"
"Get up." Yuan Xiu restrained her look. Anyway, what kind of kindness was Li's borrowing clothes? She said lightly, "Is Mrs. Deng Guo here holding a fast? How long has it been?"
Sun Niang replied respectfully, "Your wife came here at the end of May. Although she had asked the imperial doctor to prescribe the prescription, it was slow. In a hurry, she brought the little lady here to fast and pray for the early recovery."
"Oh? Wang Situ is sick?" Yuanxiu was a little surprised, "When did this happen? At the end of May?" Wang Zhan is both Situ and the Duke of the Duke. Because the Duke of the State, Situ is only a peerage. Most people call the latter, but Empress Dowager Zhaoxian only call the former, in order to remind his brothers not to behave arrogantly because they are foreign relatives. Whether it is because he sees that the Prince's Day is not favored, Yuan Xiu is not clear, but she is Empress Dowager Zhaoxian was raised, and her name for Wang Zhan was also influenced by Zhaoxian.
"Return to your lord, it was not a few days after Princess Changyang fell. The Duke drank a few more cups at night, but he fell ill." Mother said calmly.
Yuan Xiu gave a sound. No wonder she didn't hear about it when she was in Chang'an. At that time, she had already arrived at the Zige Courtyard.
Li came to hold fast at the end of May. Even if Li Shiniang was deliberately calculating, it was Yuanxiu's own whim to invite her to ride and shoot. Thinking about it, even if Li Shiniang fainted under the rock and was met by Yuan Xiu deliberately calculated, Li's family bumped into him in Cuiwei Temple. I'm afraid there was a coincidence in this. Originally, Yuan Xiuwei It's okay to go straight without revealing your identity. Now that both sides know it, Li always has to ask to come and see her according to the etiquette. Yuan Xiu can't reply to her if there is no inconvenience.
Because Li Shiniang is still seen in the yard, Yuanxiu doesn't know whether Li knows this or not. In the past, it's okay. Now Prince's Day is made up with Fengchun, and a beloved queen and an unfavored queen are not the same. The mother of the queen may not have this face to ask for a favor - even if Yuan Xiu doesn't let her go, she has to take a suitable reason because of her country's identity. The most important thing is that Yuan Xiu is worried that the forbidden army around her will reveal the news back to Chang'an when Li comes to see her. She still wants to hide a few ideas now. It was hidden from Li Fu.
After a few thoughts, Yuan Xiu nodded: "I was going to leave. Since Mrs. Deng Guo is here, I will wait for her."
This is to tell Li's mother not to delay too long and walk through the scene. Sun's mother understands and bent her knees and said, "Madam just heard that your lord Feng is coming, thinking that since she is in the temple, she will always come to visit and dare not delay your master's trip." With that, he bent his knees again, and then quit to report.
Yuan Xiu waited for her to go out, winced at Cai Lv, nodded Cai Lv, went out and told Yuan Beihe to keep a close eye on the forbidden army close to the Li family, and then went to the wing room to tell Li Shiniang not to come out.
When Li came, in addition to the aforementioned niece, he also brought a person, but Yuan Xiu knew him.
"Why is Twenty-two Lang here?" Yuan Xiu couldn't help but be surprised to see Wang Zi coming in behind Li.
Li gave a gift first. The serious appearance of the little girl with pink and jade behind her was very cute. Yuan Xiu asked and ordered a seat. Wang Zixia wore a blue round-neck crepe robe. He did not wear a hat because of the heat. He only took the hairpin and tied her hair, wore a leather belt around her waist, and hung a colorful bunch hanging underneath. Silk, tied with smelly, jade pendants and other things, holding a folding fan, arched his hand first and said, "I will see you!" Reply to Yuan Xiu's words, "Weichen has to take a break today. He came to visit his mother in the temple, but he didn't want to be here. He saw the maid return to the noble Lord and came over together."
Although Wang Zixia is a foreign minister and a man, on the one hand, she is an imperial relative. Second, the Empress Dowager Zhaoxian liked the nephew of this clan very much when she was alive. From time to time, Yuan Xiu and he were not unfamiliar with him. In this way, it is not too much to follow him without asking for instructions, but at the beginning, he was advised Fengchun as the imperial historian in front of the palace and swept Yuanxiu. Seeing him at this moment, his attitude was a little cold. He nodded slightly to show that he understood, and then said lightly, "I heard that Wang Situ is sick. I don't know what's going on now? Thinking that Situ's body has always been healthy in the past, why did Mrs. Deng Guo be so anxious to hold the fast after drinking a few glasses of wine? Did you ask Geng Jingzhai to go to see it?
"My husband is greedy, but he bothers you." Li quickly thanked Yuanxiu's relationship on behalf of Wang Zhan and sighed, "It's just that I'm getting older, but there were more ice basins in the room that night. My concubine was also because he had always been well in the past. It was the first time for me to ask a doctor for so many years. I made this wish in a hurry. In fact, my husband was already recovered when I came to the temple. A lot, otherwise I would be worried about my concubine.
Yuan Xiu nodded slightly, and Li's answer was right. No matter how devout he begged to worship, how could the mother of Li's big clan leave her still sick husband and live in the temple for many days? Originally, she was surprised to hear Sun Niang's words. There were other reasons why Li came to hold the house. Now after listening to her explanation, she was a little suspicious and asked a few questions about Wang Zhan's condition. When she heard that the problem was not big, she also threw away and turned her eyes on the little girl brought by Li, who was only about eight or nine years old. Xing With peachy cheeks, she wore a red short skirt and a dark-colored skirt. She touched a drop of cinnabar on her eyebrows. She was not old enough to grow up and behaved steadily. She was very promising. She felt that Yuanxiu looked at her and did not avoid it. Instead, she raised her eyes slightly and smiled at Yuanxiu. Her smile was naturally slightly shy and not twisted. Insent.
"Is this Mrs. Deng Guo's niece? At a young age, it's a good wind!" Yuan Xiu praised and asked, "I don't know if it's a Wang girl or a Li girl?"
"In your words, this is the eldest granddaughter of Wang's family's house, and her name is young. His father, Wang Han is the eldest son of Wang's family's house. He originally served in Taiyuan. At the beginning of the year, Wang's ancestors sacrificed, and the concubine followed her husband back to Taiyuan to attend the sacrifice. I heard that his father received the order of the official department and was transferred to Chang'an without a day, because the two granddaughters of the concubine were with their parents. Ren Shang, his knees were empty, so he brought her back to Chang'an first. Last month, Dalang took his family to Chang'an. Before he settled down for a while, his concubine continued to keep her for a few more days, and Zhizhai also brought her here by the way. Li said softly with a smile, "Speaking of which, the last time my concubine came back from Taiyuan, I went to Penglai Hall to visit the Queen, and I also showed her to Her Royal Highness. At that time, your lord seemed to be practicing riding and shooting, so I missed it."
Yuan Xiu hummed and said softly, "Of course, the daughter of the Wang family is not bad."
