Solid pet palace maid

Chapter 56

This winter, I have changed several kinds of wine, such as bayberry wine, sweet ginger wine, and apple stuffing.After the trouble, Xiaoman was determined not to drink any more, and he would suffer a lot if he didn't drink a few cups. He was coaxed by the emperor to do everything, which was really embarrassing.

Xiaoman warned everyone with his blood and tears experience, ladies, don't drink alcohol, it's easy to get wet.

Fortunately, after Laba is the new year, the emperor has to deal with the government affairs in advance, so he didn't bother her too much.

"Your Majesty, just now Xiao Xizi sent his apprentice to ask, saying that he will come here to answer in the afternoon, and ask if Your Majesty is free?" Shao Yao asked while waiting for Xiao Man to get up.

Xiao Xizi is also promising, and now has her own apprentice.It seems that this year, they have all had a much better life.

Xiao Man said: "Of course I'm free. You don't need to send someone to ask, just come here. As long as the emperor is not here, I'm free anytime."

In the afternoon, Xiao Xizi came over, bringing some snacks and wine.Xiaoman has a gloomy expression on his face, and he has wine, which must be hidden, so that he and Shaoyao can drink it secretly.

Seeing Xiao Man's expression, Shao Yao knew what she was thinking, and secretly shook her head.The empress and the emperor talked and laughed every day, which was very good.It's just a bit like a child's play house, and I don't know what will happen in the future.

"Your Majesty, it's the end of the year, and all the tents on the shops have been raised. The servants brought them for you to have a look at. The amount is quite impressive, especially the two shops on Xinggong Street, which are really worth more than ten.

Zhuangzi is also very promising, but the servant thought, there is no reason to send live animals and food to the palace.I want to discuss it with you and see what to do. "

Zheng Kangdi is generous, and all the output of these industries this year will belong to her.

Xiaoman discussed with Shaoyao and Xiaoxizi, and finally decided that in addition to giving some to her mother's family for the New Year, she would also like to show her sister's family, and sell the rest that can be sold.It just so happens that Chinese New Year is also a time when prices are expensive, so they can be sold at a good price.

"When the slave came to inquire, everything at home is fine. If you live well, you can be regarded as a landlord, and the local government is also taking care of it.

The elder brother also took a daughter-in-law.I heard that when they first returned, many housekeepers and ladies from landlord families wanted to marry in.However, the aunt and elder brother can understand clearly that living an honest life is more important than anything else.In the end, I took a talented daughter. I heard that my sister-in-law is very capable because of her poor family, and she is also filial to her aunt. "

Xiaoman was really happy to hear that.She wasn't worried about her family's conditions. The local magistrate was a shrewd person, and he never leaked information about the wind direction from above. It would be strange if he dared to treat her family badly.

She felt very guilty about her brother Mangzhong.Back then, the family was too poor to marry a daughter-in-law, so who would want to come in?Not to mention penniless, I still need to take care of my mother and two sisters-in-law.Later, he was taken to Chenjiazhuangzi in the capital city. Not to mention suffering and suffering, he was really like a cow and a horse.It has been delayed until the boss is too young to marry a wife.

This is a good time, marrying a talented daughter who is well-educated and reasonable, will surely lead to a better life in the future.

Seeing Xiao Man smiling happily, Xiao Xizi went on to say, "My sister met directly. Her house is not far from Yandai Hutong, so I went to see her. The small yard is not big, but it is clean and comfortable. My brother-in-law is also capable, yes Elder sister is also good. However, the servant didn't dare to say much, he only said that you are doing well and that the emperor favors you."

Xiao Man said: "Yes, after all, my brother-in-law is related to the Chen family. Although we are good to my sister, we are not in a hurry to get close. It will be the same in the future. You can visit my sister occasionally and let her not worry about me. If my sister's family has difficulties, you can Help is enough, and there is no need to do more.”

Now, the relationship between her and Concubine Li is really embarrassing, the two have no chance to meet each other, and when they do, there will be some disturbance.

Xiao Man is not afraid that Concubine Li will move, she is afraid that Concubine Li will not move, so that she can seize the opportunity to bring her down.I don't know who will die in the future, don't drag my sister and husband's house in, let's stay far away first.

"Brother Xizi, there are people in my palace who are paying attention to Concubine Li, but you should help to inquire about the Chen family. If there is anything, we can seize the opportunity in time." It is best to seize the opportunity and bring it to Chen. It is safer to cut the weeds and root out the roots.

Xiao Xizi nodded, "Okay, don't worry about that." Not to mention that he is one in love, now the palace also vaguely knows that he and Ronghua Palace are very close, and they have long belonged to the same faction.

After Xiaoxizi left, Shaoyao and Qing'an came over to discuss the New Year ceremony.

The palaces had to move around, and the servants had to give some rewards, and more importantly, they had to prepare some special gifts for the emperor, to show that they hadn't taken the monthly money in vain this year, and hadn't been favored in vain.

Qing'an said: "I heard that all the palaces are already in motion, and they are all planning to present treasures at the New Year's banquet."

There are small banquets and big banquets in the palace during the Chinese New Year.

There are two big banquets.One was a banquet held at thirty nights. Except for the royal family, all dignitaries and civil and military ministers above the third rank all attended with their families.

The other is the reunion of the royal family on the first night of the Lunar New Year.However, because of the large number of people, it is naturally impossible to communicate with the emperor.

Therefore, there was a small banquet in the palace.On the night of the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, only the emperor and concubines attended, and it was a complete family banquet.

This day is an opportunity for all the women to show their treasures. From poetry, singing and dancing to all kinds of treasures, everything that can express their hearts has been taken out.This is related to the impression in the emperor's heart, and it is related to the status in the harem, who can not work hard.

Xiaoman also knows this rule, but here, good things are rewarded by the emperor, and they can never be sent back.Although I have learned some poetry and songs, I really can't compare with those talented women.But she can't be allowed to dance and sing love songs in front of everyone. She is good at these things, but it is not something that fourth-rank Jieyu can do in public.
