Abandoned peasant woman in the prosperous world

Chapter 265 Entering the Palace (1)
Regarding Zhou Qianjiao, he really didn't have any thoughts: "I'm not sleepy." Although he was worried in his heart, Yu Wenxuan didn't show it on his face. He sat on the chair and didn't get up, "I still have something to say , Yaoer might as well sit down again, let's discuss it again?"

"If you have anything else to say, Prince Xuan will just say it." Qin Yuyao stood beside her, with her hands folded on her chest, and said condescendingly.Think she doesn't know what he wants to do?If she sits there again, hmph, I'm afraid he will eat tofu again.

Qin Yuyao, who was so indifferent to oil and salt, made Yu Wenxuan somewhat confused.Although he is naturally intelligent, he really has no experience in dealing with women.He looked outside, only to see it was pitch black, the insects and birds had all stopped, and the yard was unbelievably silent.However, Yu Wenxuan knew that Si Luo and Xiao Li did not sleep.

However, he couldn't care less, it was a rare opportunity to get close to Qin Yuyao, so he had to grasp it well.So, with a thick skin, he said, "If you don't sit down, I won't talk about it."

A rascal's appearance made Qin Yuyao laugh out of anger: "You like to talk or not."

Turning around with lowered hands, he was ready to go to the back room.Doesn't he like to sit here?Just let him sit overnight.As soon as he took a step, he heard Yu Wenxuan's voice behind him: "It's related to Yuwen Wan'er. Don't you want to know what she will ask you to do after she finds you?"

This bait really hooked Qin Yuyao.She paused, and as Yu Wenxuan expected, she turned around and walked to the original place to sit down.However, he frowned: "If you have something to say, don't blame me for being rude."

"Yes, for my husband to know." Yu Wenxuan secretly laughed in his heart, although he promised not to do anything else, but he took advantage of his words.Then, before Qin Yuyao turned his back on her, she hurriedly threw out the following: "Yuwen Wan'er came to you probably because of the Osmanthus Festival..."

At this moment, the capital.

Inside the gate of Gu's Mansion, a lantern was hung every ten or so steps on both sides of the road, illuminating the entire mansion brightly without a trace of darkness.Ever since Qianyi chopped off the little finger of his left hand last time, Gu Qingchen felt shadows in his heart, and ordered lanterns to be lit everywhere in the yard, trying his best not to have any shadows.

From then on, maybe it was because the lights were too strong, or maybe he didn't have bad thoughts towards Qin Yuyao, in short, the mansion has settled down, and nothing went wrong again.

However, Gu Qingchen's mood did not ease in the slightest.Because, he lost a little finger.The majestic scholar of the Wenhua Palace, the son-in-law of the prime minister, and the right-hand man of the prince, actually has a physical disability!Whenever he went up to court, someone would always look at his left hand tucked into his sleeve.And when working, some people often looked at him with strange eyes.

It's all Qin, that poisonous woman!As time passed, Gu Qingchen's fear of Qianyi gradually faded away, while his hatred for Qin Yuyao became like fermented wine, getting darker and thicker.Finally, after breaking another pen, he threw away the broken pen holder, and called out in a cold voice, "Come on!"

Not long after, a servant opened the door and entered the study, lowered his eyebrows and said, "What are your orders?"

"Go and check, Qin's news." In Gu Qingchen's faint voice, there was hidden anger and hatred that was not easy to detect.

In the courtyard not far away is the main house of the Gu residence.Jiang Mingzhu sat on the edge of the bed, propped one hand on the table, leaning against her cheek, and tilted her head to watch the maid Yan'er shake off one dress after another: "Ma'am, this pink dress suits your complexion best, Thinking about wearing it on the Osmanthus Festival, it will definitely look like a young lady who has not left the court."

"Not solemn." Jiang Mingzhu frowned lightly.

Yan'er covered her mouth with a smile, folded the clothes in her hands and put them aside, then shook off a rose red dress embroidered with silver dark patterns: "Ma'am, how about this one? It's the latest embroidery from Luyin Pavilion, It hasn't been placed in the store yet, the shopkeeper has a deep friendship with us, so he sent it to our mansion first, and the wives of other official families didn't get it."

"It's okay." Jiang Mingzhu curled her lips, still not very satisfied.

Yan'er carefully put away the clothes again, put them on the side of the cage, and unfolded another one: "Madam, how about this one..."

From half a month ago, Jiang Mingzhu began to search for new styles in Beijing, just to wear them to the banquet on the Osmanthus Festival.Ever since Gu Qingchen had one of his little fingers cut off and was looked down upon by the people in the court, it soon spread in the lady circle.In this era, physical disabilities are extremely serious, and even affect official careers.If Gu Qingchen hadn't been an official and his backing was strong, he might have been demoted.

As Gu Qingchen's wife, Jiang Mingzhu was not uncommonly criticized by other noble ladies.

It is true that Jiang Mingzhu is the prime minister's daughter.However, the prime minister is not the biggest official after all.Like the daughter-in-law of Duke Ning's family, the daughter-in-law of Zhou Shangshu's family, and the stinky girl of General Xue's family, none of them are afraid of her, and they are also rampant people, which is really annoying.

Therefore, Jiang Mingzhu must beat them on the day of Osmanthus Festival!
Every October [-]th is the long-awaited Osmanthus Festival.From the civil and military officials to the common people, all love this festival.Just because on this day, the business on the street is particularly easy to do.In that restaurant, in that tea shop, there have been people successively since Chenshi, and there is no lack of people coming and going until Haishi at night.

Since there are many people, business is easy to do. Osmanthus cakes, osmanthus tea, osmanthus cakes, etc. are all selling very well.There is also the dexterous peasant girl who folded osmanthus branches to weave garlands, and stood on the street selling them pretty.Regardless of the restaurants, tea shops, cloth shops, or street vendors, all of them grinned happily on this day.

The ladies, the young ladies, the wealthy sons, and the short-haired boys who usually don't like to go out will also go out on this day.During the day, there are all kinds of stalls and hawkers, from jewelry to toys, from food to accessories, everything.And at night, there will be a city of lights, which is three times more lively than during the day.

It can be said that the Osmanthus Festival is a lively festival suitable for all people, regardless of their status.Women can go to the temple to pray for their sons and blessings, young girls and boys can pray to the moon to ask for marriage, and there are girls of the right age who buy masks and put them on their faces. Eye.

This is the sweet-scented osmanthus festival for ordinary people.

For official men, women, sons, and young ladies, it is another look.The civil servants enjoy reciting poems and paintings, the military officials enjoy hunting with fists, and the women often hold banquets to invite the ladies who come and go frequently to gather together.And some of the ladies went with them, and some did the activities alone.

For example, Yuwen Wan'er, as the only princess in the Shun Dynasty, apart from the queen, is the most honorable woman in the world.And because of the emperor's favor, even the crown princess couldn't get past her.Therefore, every year when the sweet-scented osmanthus festival came, Yuwen Wan'er ordered people to hold a banquet in the palace and invited the ladies from the families of the ministers to gather.
