Today, the Prince Chun's Mansion, which has always been quiet, is very lively. The prince's family and ministers all came to congratulate him. The Supreme Emperor, the Emperor, and the Empress all received rewards, which were the honor and decency of the princes.The other princes and brothers have gotten used to it after watching it for so many years, but the princesses of their respective counties were sour and jealous in their hearts, and said a few gossips with yin and yang.
When the only son got married, the queen wished she could come in person, so she had to send Aunt Wenxin, who was the most important by her side, to help her.The emperor also had a lot of emotion about the marriage of his son-in-law. He thought that Lin Qingyun was a blessed person. After all, he was born in a humble place, and he really wronged Tu Yan. Therefore, from the appointment to the wedding ceremony, the emperor attached great importance to it, not for Lin Qingyun, but for Tu Yan. .Today, besides the rewards, the emperor naturally also expresses himself. After all, everyone knows that Prince Chun is not destined to be a great position, and no matter how favored it is, it doesn't matter. Right to send.
The emperor always had the most proud person in front of him present, both male and female guests were honored, and the atmosphere of the wedding banquet became more enthusiastic and smooth.
Following a string of firecrackers, eight colorful sedan chairs arrived at the gate of the Prince's Mansion.
By convention, princes will get married when they are 15 years old, and they will leave the palace to open their houses and become knights after they get married, so most princes do their marriages in the palace.Tu Yan was a special case. Originally, the empress wanted him to marry in the palace and return to the palace three days later.Of course, this is superficial rhetoric. In Tu Yan, a pure prince, there are always many irregularities. Although they are small things, they are also eye-catching. Tu Yan didn't care about it before, but now he refuses. It's not that he is cautious, but that getting married is a lifelong event, and he wants to do it in his Prince's Mansion.
It can be seen from the fact that Tu Yan begged the emperor to go to the Lin Mansion to meet the bride in person, that he attached great importance to this marriage.
Tuyan's emphasis is different from that of the emperor and empress. Tuyan has only married because of his health, so he is different from ordinary princes. In addition, he has traveled in the mountains and rivers for five years, and has seen many different humanities. He has also met Westerners and has a broad mind. are extremely broad.He attaches great importance to this marriage, and to the wife who will be married to spend the rest of his life with him.Besides, although he had never had a relationship with Lin Qingjun, it was his destiny to bring blessings to Lin Qingjun, and it was of extraordinary significance to save him from the despair of death.In addition, from the secret attention and three brief encounters, he was amazed at the difference between Lin Qingyun and the women of today, as if his thoughts resonated and he found a confidant.
This is the real reason why he insisted on marrying her as the princess.
Suffering from illness for many years, he was once depressed and hopeless, but he also cheered up again. Although he can't take the length of life indifferently, life is not what he cares about the most. Spiritual pursuit is what makes him most satisfied and happy.He was very fortunate to have met a woman like Lin Qingjun. To have such a confidant, even if he couldn't escape the catastrophe of an early death, his life would be enough.
A bosom friend should treat each other with sincerity, and a husband and wife should be intimate and support each other through thick and thin.
He promised the position of the only princess, just to show his sincerity and sincerity.
Just like a folk custom, Tuyan and Lin Qingyun went to the main hall of the palace with red silk in their hands, where the ceremony was held.There are no chairs in the upper position, but an altar table is lined up, on which are placed the things bestowed by the Supreme Emperor, the Emperor, and the Empress in turn. Prince's marriage decree.In addition to the royal brothers, the guests in the main hall also included Prince Zhongshun, Prince Jing, and Zong Ling, several son-in-laws of the princesses, and the four princes of Nan'an, Dongping, Beijing, and Xining. Several Duke's mansions, several Marquis' mansions, and high officials of three or four grades or above in the imperial court, all the male guests congratulating and watching the ceremony in the palace, and the women, apart from the maids who serve tea, are the female officials who follow to greet the relatives. Unusual, he and Dai Quan stood on the left and right of the altar, and the two of them represent the empress today.
"The auspicious time has come—" With the shout of the official of Qin Tianjian, the inside and outside of the hall became quiet.
At this moment, Lin Qingyun was standing in the hall supported by the female officer, her red hijab blocked her view, and she could only see an inch below her feet.She could not see but could hear, there were many people in the hall, even if there was no sound for a moment, her senses were sharper, many eyes were on her body, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.
"Worship the heavens and the earth-"
The female officer put a little force on her arm, and Lin Qingyun turned around, and then bowed down.
"Second worship high hall-"
Lin Qingjun turned around, and bowed to the altar table above.
"Husband and wife greet each other—"
Lin Qingyun paused for a while, and bowed again.
"Licheng!"
Because Lin Qingjun was just 13 years old this year, although they got married, they did not consummate the marriage, so the original ceremony was cut out, and it ended only after the worship.Also because the house cannot be consummated, the newlyweds do not live together. Lin Qingyun's residence was arranged in the Wisteria Courtyard on the East Road. This is the main house in the inner courtyard. Made a few minor changes inside, and it's even more different.Today, the Wisteria Courtyard is a new house, decorated inside and out, even the wisteria trellis in the middle of the yard is also decorated with many festive lanterns.
Lin Qingyun was placed on the wedding bed, and the sisters-in-law and family members who had been waiting for a long time jokingly congratulated her.
Lin Qingyun was very grateful for the red hijab at this time, otherwise, she really didn't know what expression to put on in the face of these people's jokes, but she would pretend to be shy, and her face would freeze after a long time.
I don't know how long it took, and suddenly someone outside laughed and said: "The bridegroom is here!"
"Seventh brother is very happy to get married today. Seeing that his energy is different, it is true that people are in good spirits when they are happy!"
"The seventh brother quickly took off the hijab, let us see what kind of peerless beauties the seventh brother and sister are."
"Seventh brother seldom goes out all the time. I just found out today that my seventh brother is so affectionate. He actually went to greet the bride in person. It made all the girls in the world envious."
As soon as Tu Yan entered the yard, the maids surrounded him to congratulate him, and there were several brothers, princesses of the county, concubines who were loyal to the prince, and several old princes and concubines of the old princes in the clan.The other brothers were older and all married, so it was not convenient for them to enter the inner court. Only the eighth son, Tuhan, was unmarried and of the right age, and because of his close relationship, he brought the ninth son, who was only five or six years old, along with him out of curiosity.
Tu Yan let everyone make jokes, always with a gentle smile on his face.
"Seventh brother, quickly take off your hijab!" the eldest Princess Dingjun urged with a smile.
Tu Yan walked to Da Hong Xi's bed.
Sitting beside the bed was Lin Qingyun in a red wedding gown. Because of what the nuns had repeatedly taught, even though Lin Qingyun was very tired from sitting, she did not dare to move casually. After all, there were many people in the wedding room. Those people can talk about for a lifetime.No matter how indifferent she is, she doesn't want people to bring up embarrassing things about her past for fun all day long.
After taking the scale, Tu Yan sent it forward lightly, and lifted the hijab on it.As the red hijab slid off, an elegant and beautiful face was revealed. It wasn't stunning, at least it was a little different from the peerless beauty that everyone had guessed. People with ulterior motives took pleasure in other people's misfortunes and deliberately looked at Tu Yan's expression.
However, Tu Yan's eyes brightened slightly, and his smile deepened, obviously very satisfied with the princess.
Tu Yan didn't marry the princess because of her looks, so now the new princess is naturally not judged by her looks.Furthermore, even if the concubine is not a peerless beauty, she is still a well-deserved beauty. It has not yet fully grown, and it will be different after staying for another two years.In his eyes, the first thing he saw was Lin Qingyun's eyes, which were not shy and apprehensive, but black and white, clear and transparent, like a quiet lake.The other party quickly raised his eyes to look at him, and then lowered them, the surprise delighted him.
The eighth son, Tu Han, is not too close, but it is not difficult to take a peek at the new sister-in-law deliberately.It has to be said that Tu Han, like those concubines of the county, mistakenly thought that Princess Chunqin was a stunning beauty, so he was disappointed at first glance. Seeing Tu Yan's expression, Tu Han felt that he was not as good as Seventh Brother, actually so superficial, new The sister-in-law must have advantages that others can't match, otherwise, with the favor of Seventh Brother, what kind of fairy can she want?Looking at the new sister-in-law, she really feels different, her appearance is nothing more than her appearance, but her temperament is special, and she always has an indescribable charm, which makes people feel good about her when she sees her.
"Oh, Princess Chunqin is such a delicate beauty, she is majestic and calm, not timid at all, it's really rare!" Princess Zhongshun was the first to praise, although exaggerated, but also sincere.
Others also echoed their praises one after another. Regardless of whether they were sincere or not, the atmosphere was lively again.
Tu Yan wanted to have a few words with Lin Qingjun, but there were too many people in the wedding room, once he opened his mouth, it would definitely cause more embarrassment and make her even more uncomfortable, so let it be.The banquet had already started ahead, and Tu Han reminded Tu Yan that it was time to go to the banquet.As today's make-up reminder, it can be said that there is a long way to go, and he and the other seven children are responsible for blocking the wine for Tu Yan.Although everyone knew that Tu Yan's physical condition could not allow him to drink too much alcohol, but a wedding feast without alcohol was nothing, and the congratulatory wine would naturally be counted on the eight make-up men.
Tu Yan came out of the room, called Hong Ling to give some instructions, and then went to the front yard.
The emperor and empress were all afraid that he would be tired, so he had ordered him to do what he could, so he didn't have to wait until the end of the banquet, but he was always there at the beginning, and the people in the clan and the senior officials of the first and second ranks had to turn around. circle around.Thinking of getting married today, having someone to accompany you from day to night, having a home of your own, away from the hustle and bustle, quiet, warm and ordinary, I feel warmer in my heart and softer in my complexion.
After he left, all the concubines, wives, clansmen and wives who made the wedding quarreled for a while before going to the banquet at the reminder of Princess Zhongshun.
The wedding room finally quieted down.
"Princess please change clothes." Bai Lu, Acacia Bailing and Thrush reminded the four with their clothes in their hands. They had learned the procedures and rules of the wedding day, and the nuns who should know etiquette also taught them.
Lin Qingyun took off her complicated and gorgeous wedding dress and a heavy and dazzling headdress, and finally felt more relaxed.She wore a round-neck gown with gold and silver makeup and brocade, and a red horse-face skirt with wishful cloud patterns. Full-bodied, round and crystal clear Dongzhu.This bead was extremely rare, and it was a new bead that was presented as a tribute last year. The empress gave it to Tu Yan, and Tu Yan sent the jewelry to Lin Fu.
Lin Qingyun put this phoenix on today after thinking about it.
Just after tidying up, I saw a pretty looking maidservant walking over, saluting: "My maidservant, Hong Ling, is the maidservant of the prince, congratulations to the concubine Wanfu."
Lin Qingyun saw that the other party was 25 or [-] years old, with a respectful and generous expression, and different clothes and behaviors from other maids, so she guessed that she was the big maid who was in charge of everything in the prince's room.Although there are no female elders in the Lin family, and the Jia family is not close, the eldest wife of the Zhuang family taught her in private, and she knew that the difference between these men's maids was the same as the maids around the girl's house. , it's completely a back-up aunt's roommate, and you have to be flexible when it comes to how to deal with it, otherwise your reputation will be damaged if you don't handle it well.
After all, Lin Qingyun came from modern times. Even though he doesn't have a deep understanding of the ancient rules, he still knows the big things after being immersed in various film and television novels.
When she first chose the dowry maids, she had told the four maids in private in advance that as long as they kept their duty and remained loyal, when they reached the age, they would choose someone from the mansion or hire someone outside according to their wishes. As a couple, she prepares a generous dowry for each of them.The implication is that they will not cultivate any concubines among them, so that they will stop thinking like this, otherwise they will not be forgiven if they find out!
As for the people around Tu Yan...
Thinking of Tu Yan's body, Lin Qingyun didn't think much about sex, otherwise she wouldn't have no one around these years, which is one of the reasons why she was not so resistant to this marriage.She also thought about it, since the matter is a foregone conclusion, it is not advisable to wait passively. No matter what the reason is, the current empress and Tu Yan have a good impression of her, so she should try her best to maintain the situation.If Tu Yan has sincerity and is willing to live a quiet life with her, she will reciprocate her sincerity. If she has a heart in three or two years, she is not an obsessive person, and she has nothing to do with each other, so it is better to stand aside completely. Just care about himself, he loves whoever he wants.
Only she knew what was in her mind for a moment.
"Exemption." Following Lin Qingyun's voice, Bai Lu took the red envelope that had been prepared and handed it over.
The red silk was calmly received in his hand, and said with a smile: "Today is the lord's concubine's great joy, and this servant girl is going to make a good fortune." Then he said: "Just now the lord told me to wait for the princess to finish changing clothes, and pass the table to the princess. The prince said that it is still early, I am afraid that the banquet ahead will not be over for a while, and I am afraid that the princess did not eat anything when she woke up early in the morning. If you’re bored, walk around the wisteria courtyard and take a look around, is it okay? If there’s something wrong, just say it and change it later when you have free time.”
After Lin Qingyun stood and listened, Fang sat down again. Although she couldn't be shy, her eyes were filled with jokes and her voice was soft: "My lord is careful. I'm really hungry, so I'll pass on the food."
"Yes." Hong Ling backed out to give orders, but she thought to herself: The strange prince always remembers the new concubine in his heart, and it really is different from women nowadays, such calmness, generosity, decisiveness and simplicity are rare.
When the meal arrived, various delicate dishes and porridge were extremely rich. Lin Qingyun ate a bowl of red rice porridge, a few simple side dishes, and picked up two spring rolls to eat. He was just [-]% full.She used to eat [-]% full, but she changed it after following Daiyu. At the beginning, she was not used to it, and she always wanted to add another bowl of rice. You must know that the bowls that girls eat are very delicate and small. Not much.After all, today is getting married and getting along with a strange man. To be prudent, she chooses to follow the advice of Mrs. Zhuang's family and only choose a light diet.
After finishing the meal, she rinsed her mouth, and Hong Ling said: "Qi Wangfei, the servants of the Wisteria Garden want to congratulate Wangfei, do you want to see Wangfei?"
Lin Qingjun thought that there was nothing to do anyway, so it would be better to get familiar with the environment as soon as possible, but it didn't look like seeing those people when he first came, so he said: "I'll see you tomorrow. It's just the specific situation in the courtyard, how many people are there, and what errands are assigned. Tell me." Then he told Bailu, "It's hard to work hard for them, and I will be working in the yard later, so let's reward them first."
Bailu and Xiangsi took out a box that had been prepared earlier, opened it, and found that it was full of newly minted copper coins, strung together with hemp rope, each string was exactly five hundred cash, and it was very heavy to hold in the hand.He carried the box out, called all the servants in the yard, and rewarded them one by one, until there were still a few strings left in the box.
The servants knelt in the courtyard and kowtowed to thank each other, and then they returned to their respective positions and performed their duties.
At this time, Hong Ling was taking out this booklet and handing it to Lin Qingyun: "This is the roster of servants in the mansion. All parties and places clearly record how many people serve, what their errands are, and the names and origins of their hometowns. The servants in Wangfei's courtyard were selected only after the marriage was bestowed. Including the chief eunuch, there were eight servants in total. There were also four women who guarded the gate at night, four rough maids, and eight young maids. There are four servant girls who take care of the utensils in the room and send messages. Because I think that the princess will have other people who are accustomed to bring them, so the princess will not arrange any more people for daily service and other things. Eunuch Zhang Bao, find another good addition to come in."
Lin Qingyun estimated that even if the people she brought were not counted, there were already twenty people serving in the yard, plus the four Bailu and Nanny Li, it was 25 people!
"Enough is enough, there is no need to add more."
The four-bedroom family she brought has already made plans. Acacia's parents are honest and hardworking. It would be appropriate to take care of her dowry farm, after all, she is loyal and not stupid.Bai Ling got the inheritance from her parents, both of her parents were eloquent and greeted people with smiles, looked friendly, and took care of her travel from now on.Lin Ruhai prepared a room surnamed Jin, who was arranged by her to manage the shop. As for Bai Lu's parents and Ye Song in the study building, two boys from each family would choose two to listen at the second door. Let's see after a long time.
"If the concubine is not tired, you can take a look around." Seeing that she is still in good spirits, Hong Ling thought that it was such a day when she first arrived at the palace, she must not want to rest first, so she made this suggestion.
"That's exactly what I meant." Lin Qingyun really wanted to get familiar with the environment as soon as possible, not to mention that this was where she would live in the future.
This wisteria courtyard has a spacious pattern, with five rooms on the front, all covered with green glazed tiles, carved beams and painted buildings, magnificent and rich, with wing rooms on the left and right, and a verandah from the hand.There is a hall in front of the main house, a cover room in the back, and halls and corridors on the left and right. All in all, the area is huge and there are many houses.
Lin Qingyun thought of Jiamu's courtyard. The layout of the house was not much different, but the specifications of Jiamu's courtyard were not as good as the Prince's Mansion.Furthermore, there are not many potted plants and flowers in this yard, but the decoration is just right, which makes the richness more elegant and the impetuousness in the bustle.
"Princess, this way please." Hong Ling suddenly led her to a corner door on the right side of the main room.
"This is..." Lin Qingyun hesitated, it's not good to leave this yard.
Hong Ling saw her worries, and hurriedly said: "Princess, there is no need to worry. This is what the prince told me. If the concubine has nothing to do, she can go to the nearby yard to have a look."
Seeing what Hong Ling said, Lin Qingyun nodded, and was also curious about what was in the yard on the other side.
But seeing Hong Ling take out a key from her body, Lin Qingyun noticed that the corner door was locked.The door opened, and there was a small garden in front of me. It was August, and the garden was filled with the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus, and there were chrysanthemums, okra, crabapple, etc. competing for beauty. Wanton growth may not be noticed by everyone, but it is a bit wild.In addition, there is a pool of green water in the corner of the courtyard, a small pavilion protrudes from the pool, a few willows are planted beside the pool, and there are clusters of green bamboos beside the courtyard wall.
Lin Qingyun walked slowly along the veranda, and when there was no way ahead, he turned and walked into the path beside the flower garden, bypassing a few hibiscus trees, and finally saw the building.There are three main rooms with the same carved beams and painted buildings, but they are covered with natural-colored tiles. A plaque with black background and green characters hangs on the door in the middle, which reads: Mu Huan Pavilion!
After a pause, Lin Qingyun asked Hong Ling: "Is this where the books are stored?"
Langhuan is the legendary place where the first emperor collected books, and the handwriting looks like it was written by Tu Yan. Although it is doubtful, I have confirmed it in my heart.Seeing the quietness here, although the place is small, it is rare and elegant, so I can't help but like it.
Hong Ling smiled and said: "My concubine is smart, this is indeed a library, it was specially rebuilt by the prince, originally it was the prince's library, and there is only one."
As Hong Ling spoke, she stepped forward to open the door, and there seemed to be a scent of ink on her face.
Lin Qingjun stepped in, and saw that there were neat and tall bookshelves standing inside, two thirds of which were filled, and the number was very considerable.She casually took one from the bookshelf, it was a book of poetry, and this side of the bookshelf was full of such books.She switched to the other side, took out a book and looked at it, it was a travel diary, but there were annotations on it, again in Tu Yan's handwriting.After reading two pages, her heart moved slightly, and she held the book in her hand.
"Let's go back."
Hong Ling came out, closed the door, and locked it after passing through the corner door.
But Lin Qingyun went back indoors, ordered Bailu to pour tea, and read the travel notes carefully.
When the only son got married, the queen wished she could come in person, so she had to send Aunt Wenxin, who was the most important by her side, to help her.The emperor also had a lot of emotion about the marriage of his son-in-law. He thought that Lin Qingyun was a blessed person. After all, he was born in a humble place, and he really wronged Tu Yan. Therefore, from the appointment to the wedding ceremony, the emperor attached great importance to it, not for Lin Qingyun, but for Tu Yan. .Today, besides the rewards, the emperor naturally also expresses himself. After all, everyone knows that Prince Chun is not destined to be a great position, and no matter how favored it is, it doesn't matter. Right to send.
The emperor always had the most proud person in front of him present, both male and female guests were honored, and the atmosphere of the wedding banquet became more enthusiastic and smooth.
Following a string of firecrackers, eight colorful sedan chairs arrived at the gate of the Prince's Mansion.

Prince's marriage decree.In addition to the royal brothers, the guests in the main hall also included Prince Zhongshun, Prince Jing, and Zong Ling, several son-in-laws of the princesses, and the four princes of Nan'an, Dongping, Beijing, and Xining. Several Duke's mansions, several Marquis' mansions, and high officials of three or four grades or above in the imperial court, all the male guests congratulating and watching the ceremony in the palace, and the women, apart from the maids who serve tea, are the female officials who follow to greet the relatives. Unusual, he and Dai Quan stood on the left and right of the altar, and the two of them represent the empress today.

"Worship the heavens and the earth-"
The female officer put a little force on her arm, and Lin Qingyun turned around, and then bowed down.
"Second worship high hall-"
Lin Qingjun turned around, and bowed to the altar table above.
"Husband and wife greet each other—"
Lin Qingyun paused for a while, and bowed again.
"Licheng!"
Because Lin Qingjun was just 13 years old this year, although they got married, they did not consummate the marriage, so the original ceremony was cut out, and it ended only after the worship.Also because the house cannot be consummated, the newlyweds do not live together.

"Seventh brother is very happy to get married today. Seeing that his energy is different, it is true that people are in good spirits when they are happy!"
"The seventh brother quickly took off the hijab, let us see what kind of peerless beauties the seventh brother and sister are."
"Seventh brother seldom goes out all the time. I just found out today that my seventh brother is so affectionate. He actually went to greet the bride in person. It made all the girls in the world envious."
As soon as Tu Yan entered the yard, the maids surrounded him to congratulate him, and there were several brothers, princesses of the county, concubines who were loyal to the prince, and several old princes and concubines of the old princes in the clan.The other brothers were older and all married, so it was not convenient for them to enter the inner court. Only the eighth son, Tuhan, was unmarried and of the right age, and because of his close relationship, he brought the ninth son, who was only five or six years old, along with him out of curiosity.

The emperor and empress were all afraid that he would be tired, so he had ordered him to do what he could, so he didn't have to wait until the end of the banquet, but he was always there at the beginning, and the people in the clan and the senior officials of the first and second ranks had to turn around. circle around.Thinking of getting married today, having someone to accompany you from day to night, having a home of your own, away from the hustle and bustle, quiet, warm and ordinary, I feel warmer in my heart and softer in my complexion.
After he left, all the concubines, wives, clansmen and wives who made the wedding quarreled for a while before going to the banquet at the reminder of Princess Zhongshun.
The wedding room finally quieted down.
"Princess please change clothes." Bai Lu, Acacia Bailing and Thrush reminded the four with their clothes in their hands. They had learned the procedures and rules of the wedding day, and the nuns who should know etiquette also taught them.
Lin Qingyun took off her complicated and gorgeous wedding dress and a heavy and dazzling headdress, and finally felt more relaxed.She wore a round-neck gown with gold and silver makeup and brocade, and a red horse-face skirt with wishful cloud patterns. Full-bodied, round and crystal clear Dongzhu.This bead was extremely rare, and it was a new bead that was presented as a tribute last year. The empress gave it to Tu Yan, and Tu Yan sent the jewelry to Lin Fu.
Lin Qingyun put this phoenix on today after thinking about it.
Just after tidying up, I saw a pretty looking maidservant walking over, saluting: "My maidservant, Hong Ling, is the maidservant of the prince, congratulations to the concubine Wanfu."
Lin Qingyun saw that the other party was 25 or [-] years old, with a respectful and generous expression, and different clothes and behaviors from other maids, so she guessed that she was the big maid who was in charge of everything in the prince's room.Although there are no female elders in the Lin family, and the Jia family is not close, the eldest wife of the Zhuang family taught her in private, and she knew that the difference between these men's maids was the same as the maids around the girl's house. , it's completely a back-up aunt's roommate, and you have to be flexible when it comes to how to deal with it, otherwise your reputation will be damaged if you don't handle it well.
After all, Lin Qingyun came from modern times. Even though he doesn't have a deep understanding of the ancient rules, he still knows the big things after being immersed in various film and television novels.
When she first chose the dowry maids, she had told the four maids in private in advance that as long as they kept their duty and remained loyal, when they reached the age, they would choose someone from the mansion or hire someone outside according to their wishes. As a couple, she prepares a generous dowry for each of them.The implication is that they will not cultivate any concubines among them, so that they will stop thinking like this, otherwise they will not be forgiven if they find out!
As for the people around Tu Yan...
Thinking of Tu Yan's body, Lin Qingyun didn't think much about sex, otherwise she wouldn't have no one around these years, which is one of the reasons why she was not so resistant to this marriage.She also thought about it, since the matter is a foregone conclusion, it is not advisable to wait passively. No matter what the reason is, the current empress and Tu Yan have a good impression of her, so she should try her best to maintain the situation.If Tu Yan has sincerity and is willing to live a quiet life with her, she will reciprocate her sincerity. If she has a heart in three or two years, she is not an obsessive person, and she has nothing to do with each other, so it is better to stand aside completely. Just care about himself, he loves whoever he wants.
Only she knew what was in her mind for a moment.
"Exemption." Following Lin Qingyun's voice, Bai Lu took the red envelope that had been prepared and handed it over.
The red silk was calmly received in his hand, and said with a smile: "Today is the lord's concubine's great joy, and this servant girl is going to make a good fortune." Then he said: "Just now the lord told me to wait for the princess to finish changing clothes, and pass the table to the princess. The prince said that it is still early, I am afraid that the banquet ahead will not be over for a while, and I am afraid that the princess did not eat anything when she woke up early in the morning. If you’re bored, walk around the wisteria courtyard and take a look around, is it okay? If there’s something wrong, just say it and change it later when you have free time.”
After Lin Qingyun stood and listened, Fang sat down again. Although she couldn't be shy, her eyes were filled with jokes and her voice was soft: "My lord is careful. I'm really hungry, so I'll pass on the food."
"Yes." Hong Ling backed out to give orders, but she thought to herself: The strange prince always remembers the new concubine in his heart, and it really is different from women nowadays, such calmness, generosity, decisiveness and simplicity are rare.
When the meal arrived, various delicate dishes and porridge were extremely rich. Lin Qingyun ate a bowl of red rice porridge, a few simple side dishes, and picked up two spring rolls to eat. He was just [-]% full.She used to eat [-]% full, but she changed it after following Daiyu. At the beginning, she was not used to it, and she always wanted to add another bowl of rice. You must know that the bowls that girls eat are very delicate and small. Not much.After all, today is getting married and getting along with a strange man. To be prudent, she chooses to follow the advice of Mrs. Zhuang's family and only choose a light diet.
After finishing the meal, she rinsed her mouth, and Hong Ling said: "Qi Wangfei, the servants of the Wisteria Garden want to congratulate Wangfei, do you want to see Wangfei?"
Lin Qingjun thought that there was nothing to do anyway, so it would be better to get familiar with the environment as soon as possible, but it didn't look like seeing those people when he first came, so he said: "I'll see you tomorrow. It's just the specific situation in the courtyard, how many people are there, and what errands are assigned. Tell me." Then he told Bailu, "It's hard to work hard for them, and I will be working in the yard later, so let's reward them first."
Bailu and Xiangsi took out a box that had been prepared earlier, opened it, and found that it was full of newly minted copper coins, strung together with hemp rope, each string was exactly five hundred cash, and it was very heavy to hold in the hand.He carried the box out, called all the servants in the yard, and rewarded them one by one, until there were still a few strings left in the box.
The servants knelt in the courtyard and kowtowed to thank each other, and then they returned to their respective positions and performed their duties.
At this time, Hong Ling was taking out this booklet and handing it to Lin Qingyun: "This is the roster of servants in the mansion. All parties and places clearly record how many people serve, what their errands are, and the names and origins of their hometowns. The servants in Wangfei's courtyard were selected only after the marriage was bestowed. Including the chief eunuch, there were eight servants in total. There were also four women who guarded the gate at night, four rough maids, and eight young maids. There are four servant girls who take care of the utensils in the room and send messages. Because I think that the princess will have other people who are accustomed to bring them, so the princess will not arrange any more people for daily service and other things. Eunuch Zhang Bao, find another good addition to come in."
Lin Qingyun estimated that even if the people she brought were not counted, there were already twenty people serving in the yard, plus the four Bailu and Nanny Li, it was 25 people!
"Enough is enough, there is no need to add more."
The four-bedroom family she brought has already made plans. Acacia's parents are honest and hardworking. It would be appropriate to take care of her dowry farm, after all, she is loyal and not stupid.Bai Ling got the inheritance from her parents, both of her parents were eloquent and greeted people with smiles, looked friendly, and took care of her travel from now on.Lin Ruhai prepared a room surnamed Jin, who was arranged by her to manage the shop. As for Bai Lu's parents and Ye Song in the study building, two boys from each family would choose two to listen at the second door. Let's see after a long time.
"If the concubine is not tired, you can take a look around." Seeing that she is still in good spirits, Hong Ling thought that it was such a day when she first arrived at the palace, she must not want to rest first, so she made this suggestion.
"That's exactly what I meant." Lin Qingyun really wanted to get familiar with the environment as soon as possible, not to mention that this was where she would live in the future.
This wisteria courtyard has a spacious pattern, with five rooms on the front, all covered with green glazed tiles, carved beams and painted buildings, magnificent and rich, with wing rooms on the left and right, and a verandah from the hand.There is a hall in front of the main house, a cover room in the back, and halls and corridors on the left and right. All in all, the area is huge and there are many houses.
Lin Qingyun thought of Jiamu's courtyard. The layout of the house was not much different, but the specifications of Jiamu's courtyard were not as good as the Prince's Mansion.Furthermore, there are not many potted plants and flowers in this yard, but the decoration is just right, which makes the richness more elegant and the impetuousness in the bustle.
"Princess, this way please." Hong Ling suddenly led her to a corner door on the right side of the main room.
"This is..." Lin Qingyun hesitated, it's not good to leave this yard.
Hong Ling saw her worries, and hurriedly said: "Princess, there is no need to worry. This is what the prince told me. If the concubine has nothing to do, she can go to the nearby yard to have a look."
Seeing what Hong Ling said, Lin Qingyun nodded, and was also curious about what was in the yard on the other side.
But seeing Hong Ling take out a key from her body, Lin Qingyun noticed that the corner door was locked.The door opened, and there was a small garden in front of me. It was August, and the garden was filled with the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus, and there were chrysanthemums, okra, crabapple, etc. competing for beauty. Wanton growth may not be noticed by everyone, but it is a bit wild.In addition, there is a pool of green water in the corner of the courtyard, a small pavilion protrudes from the pool, a few willows are planted beside the pool, and there are clusters of green bamboos beside the courtyard wall.
Lin Qingyun walked slowly along the veranda, and when there was no way ahead, he turned and walked into the path beside the flower garden, bypassing a few hibiscus trees, and finally saw the building.There are three main rooms with the same carved beams and painted buildings, but they are covered with natural-colored tiles. A plaque with black background and green characters hangs on the door in the middle, which reads: Mu Huan Pavilion!
After a pause, Lin Qingyun asked Hong Ling: "Is this where the books are stored?"
Langhuan is the legendary place where the first emperor collected books, and the handwriting looks like it was written by Tu Yan. Although it is doubtful, I have confirmed it in my heart.Seeing the quietness here, although the place is small, it is rare and elegant, so I can't help but like it.
Hong Ling smiled and said: "My concubine is smart, this is indeed a library, it was specially rebuilt by the prince, originally it was the prince's library, and there is only one."
As Hong Ling spoke, she stepped forward to open the door, and there seemed to be a scent of ink on her face.
Lin Qingjun stepped in, and saw that there were neat and tall bookshelves standing inside, two thirds of which were filled, and the number was very considerable.She casually took one from the bookshelf, it was a book of poetry, and this side of the bookshelf was full of such books.She switched to the other side, took out a book and looked at it, it was a travel diary, but there were annotations on it, again in Tu Yan's handwriting.After reading two pages, her heart moved slightly, and she held the book in her hand.
"Let's go back."
Hong Ling came out, closed the door, and locked it after passing through the corner door.
But Lin Qingyun went back indoors, ordered Bailu to pour tea, and read the travel notes carefully.
