Pingyang Fu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 118 Entering the Palace for the First Time
Inside Jia's Mansion, Rongguo Mansion,

The two girls had inadvertently confronted each other several times at the side door, and they often tried secretly, but every time Li Wan resolved it silently, Wang Xifeng had to return without success. Later, after Brother Zhu's accident, Li Wan took a The child is no longer targeted.

In the future, they basically didn't see each other often in their respective lives, especially after Wang Xifeng became the housekeeper, they were so busy that they didn't even have the chance to meet each other.

Li Wan, the eldest grandson's daughter-in-law, has been thoroughly investigated since then. She doesn't care about everything, she just wants to take care of her own Lan'er, and wants to be successful in the imperial examination like his father.

Seeing such a scene,

Wang Xifeng's beautiful eyes glanced away, and the thoughtful look in the pretty Danfeng's eyes flashed away,
just a sudden response;

"So that's the case. I forgot about it. The ethnology school in the mansion has been established a long time ago. Presumably Lan'er has already enrolled in it. It's my negligence."

As the housekeeper and daughter-in-law of the Rongguo Mansion, Wang Xifeng is in charge of the major and minor affairs of the mansion for her aunt. All kinds of people are also clear in their hearts, especially the gossip and gossip of those servants. The sister-in-law is pure-hearted and ascetic, and she never causes trouble, which is also rare.

Although Li Wan is a young woman and widow, she doesn't want to bother others, and she has a slow-witted temperament, so she said with a smile;
"Feng girl, if there is nothing else, I'll go back now. It's almost time, and Brother Lan is about to leave school."

Wang Xifeng also smiled, and watched Li Wan leave without asking what happened from the beginning to the end.

Ping'er didn't speak until he saw the person walking away;
"Grandma, I feel like something is wrong. Look at the angry expressions on the faces of the two maids behind Grandma Zhu. What must have happened outside the mansion?"

"I know, so what does that have to do with me? Don't mind your own business. It's not easy for sister-in-law to be alone. Come and walk with me."

"Yes, grandma."

Wang Xifeng walked slowly around the yard twice as if nothing had happened.

"Ping'er, what do you think Second Master is doing now?"

Ping'er replied without thinking,

"Then what else can you do? It's approaching the Dali Competition, so you can't step up your training. At least you can get a better ranking in the Dali Competition."

Wang Xifeng nodded secretly,
"It's true. My elder brothers Wang Ren and Jia Lian have already been appointed as infantry captains by my uncle, and I heard that the elite battalion in charge of the Beijing camp has 5000 troops each, and my uncle arranged to participate in the competition."

Ping'er let out an "ah" at the side, and quickly covered his mouth, not daring to make a sound, his eyes full of shock.

"Really, grandma, the second master has woken up."

Wang Xifeng nodded proudly.

outside the capital,
Zhang Jinyu was not in a hurry to enter the city, but waited for the old battalion to set up their tents and settled down again, and then ordered the guards to ride horses and prepare to enter the city.

Before leaving, he worriedly asked Ning Bian to guard the tent again, and Ning Bian agreed without hesitation.

Zhang Jinyu pulled the reins, adjusted the direction, and ran towards the inner city.

"drive,"

"Drive, get out of the way."

The guards who cleared the way in front were also polite, and drove the crowd out of the way.

It left a domineering impression on many people and spies.

Naturally, Zhang Jinyu didn't know other people's evaluations, but he just wanted to get to Da Nei as soon as possible, and send out those [-] war horses with hot potatoes, so as not to cause trouble from the frontier army.

After riding for quite a while before arriving at the Ouchi Imperial Palace, Zhang Jinyu couldn't help admiring in her heart, the capital city is really big, and the palace is really beautiful.

There are countless red walls and yellow tiles, continuous large and small palaces, and carved beams and painted buildings with antique flavors. Only this palace gate is exquisitely decorated, and the prominent places are even more majestic and majestic.

Zhang Jinyu sighed and threw the horse to the guards. He got off the horse and came to the palace gate to report his intention. Unexpectedly, Eunuch Yang, the eunuch supervisor, led the small yellow gate, waiting for him here. Greetings right there,
"Master Hou, it's been a good journey. The emperor has been waiting for you in the Hall of Mental Cultivation."

Seeing this, Zhang Jinyu also stepped forward quickly, and quickly took out a small bank note from her sleeve and handed it over.

"I'm sorry to trouble my eunuch for waiting so long."

Eunuch Yang skillfully caught the banknote, and when he turned over the banknote, it disappeared. With a smile on his face, he invited,
"Master Hou, you can go in with the miscellaneous family when you are ready."

Zhang Jinyu also nodded sincerely in agreement. These eunuchs are very sensitive, and they can't lose the big because of small things.

"Master Hou, please."

"Elder-in-law, please first. This road is not familiar to me!"

"The miscellaneous family will lead the way for Lord Hou."

After speaking, he led Xiao Huangmen into the palace gate first, followed by Zhang Jinyu. After entering the palace gate, he could see the original appearance of the palace clearly, which cannot be expressed in words. The large and small palaces of the Qing Dynasty and the steps made of white marble all show the luxury and authority of the royal family.

Zhang Jinyu was speechless inwardly, she was indeed very respectful on the surface, and she still needed to grow up.

Along the way, Eunuch Yang introduced the rules in the palace from time to time, and the etiquette for meeting the emperor. He heard that he still needs to kneel when meeting the emperor. I can't help myself in the rivers and lakes.

Looking at the father-in-law leading the way who was still talking endlessly, Zhang Jinyu couldn't help feeling a little sympathetic. I have so many rules in my life, and if I make a mistake, I can't take it off. It's really not a place for people to stay.

"Master Hou, is there anything you don't understand?"

"Uh, no more, thank you father-in-law for letting me know,"

"That's good, the front is almost there."

Zhang Jinyu looked at the eunuch who was over fifty years old in front of him. Although he looked prominent, he was cautious everywhere, so he couldn't help but say something.

"Eunuch is not easy, this Marquis thanks Eunuch again today."

Eunuch Yang paused for a moment, then returned to normal,
"Your Majesty has a heart, um, when you meet the Holy Majesty, if the Emperor is drinking tea or writing, you must not disturb him. Everything will be answered after the Emperor asks."

Zhang Jinyu didn't realize that one of her unintentional words would be rewarded in this way, and she also lamented that things between people are sometimes very simple, especially people with physical disabilities, who are even more sensitive, and now she understands.

Arriving at a large courtyard with a deep and deep scenery, the sense of roundness and tranquility is beyond words, obviously different from him, and the word "quiet" is highlighted. If you think about it, the emperor is afraid of noise, just like ordinary people.

"Master Hou, here we are. This is the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Just go in."

Eunuch Yang stopped at the entrance of the palace, but did not enter.Instead, he signaled himself to go in directly, Zhang Jinyu hurriedly straightened his armor and clothes, and thanked him again.

"Thank you father-in-law, I will remember the feeling of leading the way, and I will have a drink with my father-in-law when I finish my work."

"Shan, the miscellaneous family will remember it, please come in, don't make the Holy Majesty wait in a hurry."

"Then Benhou will go in."

Zhang Jinyu took a deep breath in the yard, then walked in with her head held high and her chest held high.

When I came to the entrance of the hall, I pushed the door open and walked in. As soon as I entered the Hall of Mental Cultivation, I felt a sense of warmth. Although there is only one door, it can be regarded as a world of ice and fire, and there is only a faint scent of sandalwood in the room. , there is no smell of smoke from charcoal fire and firewood, the ancients are really amazing.

Zhang Jinyu was stunned because he didn't see where the fire was burning in the main hall to keep warm. Another point is that this hall is very big. Where should I go now? There are many, one next to the other to form a small room, afraid of making mistakes, I will stay there for a while.

Emperor Wu Zhou Shihong had been waiting in the study inside for a long time. When he heard the sound of the door opening, he knew that Zhang Jinyu had come, so he stood up and picked up a brush, preparing to write a picture for him.

Zhou Shihong concentrated his attention on writing there earnestly, flowing clouds and flowing water, writing like clouds of smoke, a picture of loyalty, bravery and unparalleled four characters flying on the fine rice paper.

Zhou Shihong blew it, very satisfied, when he looked up, he didn't see Luo Yunhou's figure, he was very surprised, so Emperor Wu put down his pen, and said to Dai Quan who was standing beside him,

"Go and see, where are people?"

"It's Your Majesty."

Dai Quan was also curious. He also heard the sound of the door opening, but no one came in. If the emperor was not writing there, he would have gone out to have a look.

Dai Quan came out after walking through several compartments, and saw Luo Yunhou standing in the door orderly, did he move around? Dai Quan asked,

"But His Excellency Luo Yunhou Zhang Jinyu."

Seeing an old eunuch coming out of it, Zhang Jinyu finally breathed a sigh of relief, it was too depressing,
"Return, the father-in-law is the Marquis, dare to ask the father-in-law's name?"

"Our family name is Dai. Before entering the palace, I was named Quan Zi. Call me Eunuch Dai."

"Meet Eunuch Dai."

Zhang Jinyu didn't dare to trust her. The old eunuchs who could serve the emperor were usually the head of the palace, and the last time was the deputy head.

"Well, it's okay, by the way, why didn't you go in here?"

"Back to Eunuch Dai, I don't know the way. I'm afraid that if I make a mistake and bump into some noble person, it will be bad. I can only wait here."

Only then did Dai Quan look directly at the person standing at the door. He was young, handsome and handsome, with an extraordinary appearance.

The key is to be honest in this way, let's see if it is sincere in the end.

"Just follow me, don't be afraid, this is the emperor's residence, and those noble people live in the harem, so they can't be touched."

"Yes, Eunuch Dai, thank you for your clarification."

The two soon came to the study room of the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Zhang Jinyu only saw a middle-aged man in a dragon robe sitting behind the only desk in the room. On the round face where he is not angry and pretentious, his eyes are bright and restrained, so old and spicy.

This is the emperor of Dawu, and his momentum is really extraordinary. Zhang Jinyu thought that since he came, he still had to kneel and worship. It would be better to have something special, so he immediately strode past Dai Quan and knelt down on the ground with a "plop". Grin, it's over!
Forgot to wear armor.
