There is a Wangfu wife at home

Chapter 510 Mrs. Hengyang's Thoughts (Part [-])

There were few people in the house, and it seemed eerily quiet.

Mrs. Hengyang looked at the gate with blank eyes.

The maid Yingniang came up and said, "Ma'am, the medicine is ready, do you want to take it to the Duke?"

"Go and feed me, I won't go today." Mrs. Hengyang waved her hand and rubbed her forehead.

Yingniang was slightly taken aback, answered "Yes" and left.

In the past, it was Mrs. Hengyang who gave medicine to Duke Hengyang.

Mrs. Hengyang's complexion is not good today, she must be tired.

Yingniang thought so.

Her husband had a stroke and fell ill, as did her daughter, and there was no one else in the family to help.

If it were any other woman, she would either remarry and run away, or be tortured insanely.

Thanks to Mrs. Hengyang's strength, she endured for ten years.

Yingniang fed the medicine and came back to the main hall, Mrs. Hengyang was still sitting there.

Yingniang walked over and said, "Ma'am, the Duke took the medicine and fell asleep."

"En." Mrs. Hengyang responded lightly.

Ying Niang looked at her face and asked, "Madam, is there something on your mind?"

Mrs. Hengyang narrowed her eyes, and said, "That Li Jiaoniang has a really weird temper, and she rejected me." She sneered, "There are still people who don't like the rich and powerful? How many people in Lin'an City want to marry me, She wants to be my adopted son and adopted daughter, but she actually looks down on me?"

Mrs. Hengyang was angry and surprised.

Yingniang also said, "Lady Li is really noble, but I don't know if she did it on purpose. She pretended to be noble in order to attract Madam's attention, but she still didn't know how to flatter her. Even when officials see Madam, they have to respectfully call aunt, she How dare you refuse?"

Mrs. Hengyang said, "No, I must let her be my daughter! Only she can wake up the Duke!"

Yingniang said, "But she refused, ma'am, what else can I do to make her readily agree?"

Mrs. Hengyang raised her eyebrows, "The Empress Dowager Wei doesn't like the Prince of Pu'an, and she is the adoptive mother of the Prince of Pu'an. Just wait, Queen Mother Wei will definitely make things difficult for her. When the time comes, if we extend our hands to help, I will help her." If you don't believe her, she won't come to recognize her relatives. You should remember this first."

Yingniang laughed, "This is a good idea."

……

There is also a palace banquet in the evening.

This is the biggest palace banquet of the year.

Officials of the third grade and above in Lin'an City, as well as their family members, will all enter the palace for the banquet.

Not only that, those who are scattered in other places, have titles, or local officials of the third rank or above, all have to go to the palace to attend the banquet.

On the one hand, it is to report on the work, and on the other hand, it is to receive the reward from the emperor.

After noon, the guards in the streets and alleys of Lin'an City gradually increased, and the whole city was on alert.

All passing vehicles must show their passes.

Unable to go out to play, Juan closed the door and curled up in his room to sleep.

This room is more spacious and warmer than any room he has lived in before.

The windows are big and bright, the bed is still carved, and there is a brazier under the bed, so warm that you don't need to wear cotton clothes to sleep.

Lying on the bed covered with a quilt, it was so comfortable.

However, there was not a moment of comfort when there was a knock on the door of the house.

Juan frowned, and could only quickly put on his shoes, put on his clothes and cape, and ran to open the door.

"Who is it?" Juan asked loudly through the door.

"But the residence of Master Luo Chengbiao?" Someone outside the door asked loudly.

Master Luo Chengbiao?
The accent of Yuezhou City?

"Which house are you from?" Juan asked again.

"From the Lu family in Yuezhou City, our old lady came to Lin'an and told me to look for Master Biao and Young Madam Biao." The person outside replied.

It turned out to be from the Lu family.

Juan hurriedly opened the door, "So it's Steward Lu, please come in."

It's the housekeeper of the Lu family, Lu Ji.

It was Lu Ji who took Luo Cheng and Li Jiaoniang from Yunhe County to Yuezhou City.

Juan has been to Lu's house several times and recognized the person.

Lu Ji took off the cloak and hat on his head, and said with a smile, "I really found it. It turns out that Master Biao really lives here."

Juan smiled and said, "Butler Lu, how did you find this place?"

"There is a mouth under the nose, I asked." Lu Ji smiled and said, "Our old lady and wife, young master, young lady, they came to Lin'an yesterday. When the old lady entered the palace this morning, she met His Royal Highness Pu'an County King After asking, I realized that Master Biao and Mrs. Biao arrived last night, so the old lady asked me to come and see Master Biao and Mrs. Biao."

"..."

"I also heard that Mrs. Biao is going to the palace to have a banquet at night. The old lady was worried that Mrs. Biao had never attended the banquet and didn't know the rules in the palace. She specially asked me to inform Mrs. Biao that she would bring Mrs. Biao into the palace together. .”

"The old lady has a heart." Juan smiled, welcomed Lu Ji into the house, and closed the door, "I'll go find the master and wife."

Li Jiaoniang returned from Mrs. Hengyang's quiet garden, returned to her bedroom, and discussed the next arrangement with Luo Cheng.

The two were talking, when Juan said that Lu Ji, the housekeeper of the Lu family, had come.

Luo Cheng raised his eyebrows slightly, "They acted so quickly."

Li Jiaoniang smiled and said, "Perhaps the old lady had something to tell her, that's why she asked someone to come here. Please invite Steward Lu to have tea in the main hall, and we will come right away."

Juan responded and went out.

Li Jiaoniang looked back at Luo Cheng, and said with a smile, "Here from the Lu family, why are you frowning?"

Luo Cheng thought of Queen Mother Wei.

When Mrs. Lu came here, she definitely couldn't just care about him and Jiaoniang, she would definitely push them to see the Queen Mother Wei.

Empress Dowager Wei, knowing that his biological father and mother were wronged, but watched them go to death without doing anything, what face does she have to ask him to see her now?
He refused to enter the palace to meet her, so she put pressure on the Lu and Chen families!

And those two families are his benefactors...

hypocritical!

Luo Cheng sneered in his heart.

"What's the matter? Brother Luo Cheng?" Seeing that Luo Cheng didn't speak, and his face became gloomy, Li Jiaoniang asked hurriedly.

Luo Cheng smiled slightly, "It's nothing, there are many rules in the palace, I'm worried that you won't be able to cope and you will be punished."

Li Jiaoniang smiled and said, "It's okay, don't worry about me, I'm smart. I walked around the palace this morning, isn't there nothing wrong?"

"I'll go to the banquet tonight, I'll go with you." Luo Cheng didn't want to go to the palace, but he was worried about Li Jiaoniang, so he decided to go to the palace.

Li Jiaoniang smiled and said, "Okay."

The two came to the main hall to meet Lu Ji.

Lu Ji hurriedly saluted and said hello, "Master Biao, Mrs. Biao, are you safe all the way?"

Luo Cheng nodded, "It's okay, where do the old lady live now?"

"I still live with my aunt." Lu Ji said.

Mrs. Lu had a daughter who married to Lin'an City, and every time the Lu family came to Beijing, they lived there as borrowers.

Li Jiaoniang had heard about this matter from Tang Wan.

"It's hard for you to find out where we live." Li Jiaoniang smiled and said, "I wanted to inform my cousin and grandmother immediately, but there were too many things to do, so it was delayed for a while."

"It's His Royal Highness Prince Pu'an." Lu Ji replied.

"By the way, my aunt and grandma called you here, do you have any orders?" Li Jiaoniang asked again.

"Yes, the old lady is worried that Mrs. Biao will enter the palace alone without knowing the rules, so she will take Mrs. Biao with her. At three o'clock, someone will come to pick up Mrs. Biao." Lu Ji said.

I knew Mrs. Lu would worry about her.

Li Jiaoniang smiled and said, "Understood, I will be on time."

Lu Ji said again, "The old lady also said that today is an important occasion, Mrs. Biao try to dress up as much as possible, don't be stingy with jewelry."

Li Jiaoniang said, "Understood."

After sending Lu Ji away, Li Jiaoniang began to arrange the clothes and jewelry for entering the palace.

When I entered the palace just now, I just saw Emperor Gaozong and Empress Dowager Wei, so it is enough to not break the etiquette, and the dress does not need to be heavy, just a little more gorgeous than the home clothes.

But the palace banquet at night cannot be casual.

According to the requirements of the modern world, one must wear an evening dress.

Mrs. Lu's words "don't be stingy with jewelry", imply that there is much value in it, just pile it on your head.

Luo Cheng's clothes were just the same. After he picked out a new one for himself, he came to help Li Jiaoniang equip the jewelry.

In the jewelry box, there is a set that was worn by Princess Cheng Yang during her lifetime.

Although gorgeous, but too conspicuous.

This set of pearls is worn into the palace, but anyone who is of a certain age can recognize it at once.

The other set was given by Zhao Cong when he lost his memory. It was bought for a few hundred pennies. It is an ordinary jewelry, which is fine to wear in normal times, but it would be impossible to take it out in the palace.

Another set he bought in Yuezhou City cost more than 1000 guan, and it was a set of magnolia flowers.

Luo Cheng took out this set and gesticulated on Li Jiaoniang's bun.

"That's it, this one looks good."

Li Jiaoniang is funny, he bought it himself, of course it looks good.

However, it is really pretty, she likes the color of the pearl, light pink.

"Okay, just wear this set." Li Jiaoniang smiled.

As soon as she put down the jewelry, she heard Lady Tian say outside the door, "Madam, His Royal Highness sent someone to deliver something."

What do you give this child?
Li Jiaoniang smiled and said, "Call someone in."
