Chapter 910

Seeing his son flustered, Duke Lu asked curiously, "What's so special about participating in the dragon boat race? Our Duke's House also participated in it before, and won the first place one year."

Mrs. Guo knew that there was something to do, so she interrupted Mr. Guo, "Let Chuan'er finish talking."

Mr. Hua took the cotton napkin handed over by his mother to wipe his sweat, sat down and said, "It's not uncommon to participate in dragon boat races. What's unusual is that the Princess Mansion built a big shed with the words: May Festival, Girl's Day, Cao'e River Dragon Boat Race."

Duke Lu and his wife looked at each other, not knowing what the princess mansion was going to do.

Cao E is a famous filial daughter.It is recorded in the biography of martyrs that her father, Cao Xu, drowned in the Shun River during the sacrificial activity of welcoming Wu God on May 14. At that time, Cao E was only [-] years old, crying along the river day and night.The Shun River that Cao E found his father and voted for was changed to Cao E River.

The emperors of all dynasties praised Cao E in great things, built a tall and splendid main hall of Cao E, and conferred the titles of Mrs. Lingxiao, Mrs. Chunyi, and Mrs. Huigan.

Cao E became well-known to every household. The first time Shangyu County Magistrate Dushang ordered his disciple Handan Chun to make a speech, carved a stone and erected a stele called "Cao E Stele" to honor filial piety.Later, when Cai Yong visited him, he touched his text at dusk and read it. He inscribed the eight characters on the Yin of the stele: "The grandson of the young woman on yellow silk, and the grandson of the jiujiu". 1 is Yang Xiu.

The later Cao'e stele was written by Cai Bian, Wang Anshi's son-in-law.It is in regular script, with strong strokes, smooth and crisp.

In particular, Wang Xizhi's "Stele of Filial Piety Cao'e" can be called a masterpiece handed down from generation to generation, and its attainment is only inferior to "Preface to Lanting Collection".

This is also the reason why Gao Zhao chose Cao E as the reason to tell Princess Pingwu. Cao E is not only a filial daughter in the biography of martyrs, because all literati in the past dynasties of Cao E don't know about it.

Although Lu Guogong didn't read the biographies of martyrs, Cao E also knew that there was a fake copy of Wang Xizhi's calligraphy at home.

Mrs. Guo got excited when she thought of this, and guessing what Princess Pingwu meant, she stood up and said, "I'll change my clothes and take Guibao to Erli River."

The Erli River is connected to the Grand Canal, where the dragon boat race is held every year during the Dragon Boat Festival.

When the people from the Duke's mansion rushed over, they were densely packed with people. All the mansions knew that Princess Pingwu had gone, and all the female relatives rushed to Erli River, and the military commander sent people to maintain order.

In the shed built by the princess mansion, the wife was ordered to pay her respects, and Ping Wu stayed at her seat, and Mrs. Luo, the old lady of Anxi Hou's mansion, also came.

There was an open space in front of the shed, with long tables and round stools, and some official women who were not qualified to enter the shed sat there.

Seeing the Duke's wife coming, everyone looked at the Hua Guibao she was holding. This was the only daughter in Beijing who dared to show up despite her reputation as May Girl.

Mrs. Guogong put down Hua Guibao, led her into the shed, and paid her respects to the Eldest Princess.

Ping Wu smiled and said: "Mrs. You, sit down quickly, Guibao, come, let me give you a hug."

No matter how naughty Hua Guibao is, she is taught by her nuns and the lady of the Duke's Mansion herself. She knows what is good and bad. When she sees so many people, she also respectfully salutes herself. When she met the Eldest Princess, she smiled and said: " Huahua greets the eldest princess, I haven't seen you for a long time."

This is learned from Gao Tianyi, Gao Tian thinks that everyone loves to say that it has been a long time since I saw you.

Because of the golden bean, Pingwu felt it was rare to see a little lady from any family, and Hua Guibao was so happy to hold him in his arms when the little Hua Guibao spoke the words of an adult.

She took out a pomegranate flower and put it on Hua Guibao, and took out a character from a sandalwood box, next to her, Madam Jiang handed over a purse, Ping Wu put the character in it, and hung the purse around Hua Guibao's neck superior.

"This is the character I asked for from Lingxu Temple. I will give it to your precious treasure. I wish your precious treasure a safe life and a full house of children and grandchildren."

Mrs. Guo's eyes were shining, she knelt down and saluted.

Other edicts thought that Pingwu specially gave the Hua family daughter face because the Hua family daughter wanted to marry the Gao family. Once she made a move, who would dare to criticize the Hua family daughter Wu Yuenu or something.

But I heard Princess Pingwu say: "Just arrived in May, I dreamed of my father, just like when I was a child when I was teaching me to write Cao E stele, I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't fall asleep for a long time."

Everyone knows that my father is Emperor Chengzong, and everyone knows that Pingwu was taught by Emperor Chengzong since he was a child, so the character of Pingwu looks like Emperor Chengzong.

"At that time, I copied the biography of martyrs and the filial daughter's scriptures many times. I was puzzled about Cao E. I asked: Cao E's filial daughter found her father and threw herself into the river in May. From this, there is also a saying that the Dragon Boat Festival commemorates Cao E, but why do people say My father said: "Wuyue girl is a filial daughter. Everyone knows that my second daughter was named Yu'e. Why? I think it is a girl who is Cao'e! Today, I went to Lingxu Temple early in the morning and asked for a talisman. After picking the pomegranate flowers, women whose birthdays are in May can come to pick them up, and I, Ping Wu, will wear them myself."

Gao Ming was stunned, but some had tears in their eyes. Madam Luo took the lead to kneel down to the Eldest Princess, and all Gao Ming followed, saying: Thank you Eldest Princess for your mercy!

Mother Jiang brought a few servants holding bamboo baskets, which contained pomegranate flowers, and a special wooden box for Lingxu Temple.

For a while, the words of Princess Pingwu spread, and no one came at first. A thin woman came forward with a baby girl, dressed in shabby clothes. Mother Jiang led them into the shed, and Princess Pingwu personally gave it to her The talisman, Dai Liuhua, the mother and daughter kowtowed to thank and stepped back.

Third Master Hua has been keeping an eye on the movement, and after the words of the Eldest Princess came out, he hastily sent someone back to the mansion to arrange for loose money. When the mother and daughter came out, a nun from the Duke's Mansion stepped forward and gave the mother and daughter a tael of silver, saying that they would get married in the future. Then come to the Duke's mansion to receive five taels of dowry silver.

The woman was overjoyed and pulled her daughter to kowtow.

The head of Le'an County spoke on behalf of Anxi Hou's mansion, saying that in the future, Wuyue's daughter of her Anxihou's mansion will marry, and the Hou's mansion will give dowry money, so that Wuyue's filial daughter cannot be misunderstood and wronged.

The onlookers understood what was going on, and those who had a May girl at home hurried back to get their household registration and brought the girl to collect the talisman and silver.

The female relatives have been watching, but no one has come to receive the talisman. Ping Wu understands their thoughts. Before, there was a May girl in the family who wanted to give it away or send it to Zhuangzi. No matter how distressed the mother is, there is nothing they can do. This will suddenly make them speak out. It's not just about her personal situation, she has to listen to the family.

The Duke of Lu's Mansion has no choice, everyone knows that the Duke of Lu's Mansion is unwilling to give up their daughter like other mansions, so it is more acceptable to Pingwu's statement.

Ping Wu thought, this is not something that people can accept today, take it slowly, as long as the people can accept it and change the saying that the May girl is ominous, the upper class will accept it.

Gao Zhao was waiting for someone to inquire about the news at the Princess Mansion. She was waiting for news from her natal shop.What Princess Pingwu did did not tell her.

To be honest, Gao Zhao has no bottom line, and it is very difficult to change people's minds at once. She thought that no one would pick up the sweets in the store.

Who knew that Dai Qiu ran in in a panic.

"Second Grandma, Shizi Bunbo is full of people, and there is a long queue, all of them are here to pick up Biaobo."

Gao Zhao was surprised, so surprised, isn't he afraid to say that his daughter is May girl for the sake of a few people?
