Actually, Minglan is not bragging. If she can completely get rid of the best relatives, then she is determined to give up the wealth of Gu's ancestors; the silver can be earned slowly, but this kind of relatives can never get rid of the trouble.
On this day, Minglan went to Xuanzhiyuan to greet Mrs. Tai as usual. During the conversation, she talked about the merger of the mansion. Mrs. Tai originally thought that Minglan was still waiting to shirk, but she was so cheerful, just a few words. Speaking of the process.
"This Master Zhang was recommended by Mrs. Geng. Many Feng Shui surveys in Beijing were handled by him. He said that he was sincere and tight-spirited. He was not the one who deceived money."
Zhu’s pregnant belly said to the side: “I’ve also heard of this old Zhang. That year, my family expanded two gardens and invited him to see it, saying it was extremely effective. Guan Bao Noble family homes are prosperous, and the marriage is smooth."
Mrs. Tai was happy to hear, and asked, "Can you find the clay tile squad?"
Ming Lan replied with a smile: "This time, I relied on Mrs. Zheng's recommendation. When his family married the queen girl a year ago, they had just renovated half of the house. The walls and roofs of the house were firm and solid. The bed is ventilated and hot, and now the second wife lives there and it is very good. The team is not only good in craftsmanship, but also practical, and they didn’t arbitrarily figure out the price in terms of materials. I asked someone to take the Zheng family's famous post, and the host also I'm ready to take a few days to measure the ground, and first organize a drawing to see."
The wife's wrist fiddled with the bowl cover suddenly stopped: "...Just the day before yesterday, I said that I was going to break the ground. Today, a lot of calculations have been cleared. Your hands and feet are fast. It's just that such a group of strangers come in. The house in the mansion, I am afraid it is not good."
Shaw Brothers peeped at her mother-in-law's face and whispered softly: "What is wrong with the mother?"
"What could be wrong with the recommendation from the Zheng family? But..." Madam Tai put down the tea bowl and stroked the Buddhist beads on her wrist. "Minglan, you just walked through the door. I don't know that our Gu family usually uses a clay tile. The team, since your father-in-law’s time has been old. I was thinking of asking Mr. Mo to talk to you about this."
Ming Lan looked surprised and ashamed, and quietly covered her mouth and said, "Oh, I don't know this anymore. How good is this? I have already told Mrs. Zheng, I will change hands now. , I'm afraid it is not good."
Madam Tai stared at her for a long time, then slowly said: "It is said that you are young and have nothing to pass. I don't look at it. Brother Ye is busy with errands and has no time to take care of it. Such a big thing, I I thought that a young daughter-in-law would be difficult to handle. Who knows that the elders of the family did not even ask you, so you did everything by yourself. The fruit is terrifying..."
Ming Lan pretended not to understand the meaning of her words, learning the way Wang was in front of the old lady Sheng (I don't understand it), with an ignorant smile: "It's all thanks to you. "
She finally understands that Mrs. Sheng is now becoming more and more straightforward about the Wang family. A daughter-in-law who is not easy to dismiss with white eyes can indeed turn a reserved and reserved Miss Hou Men into a pungent mother-in-law.
Shaw didn't seem to be used to this atmosphere, so he slightly turned his head to the side. Zhu Clan lowered his head and stroked his stomach, a young and powerful stepson, a stepmother who had been dissatisfied, how submissive could he ask his stepdaughter-in-law to be.
Mrs. Tai knew that it was inappropriate to turn her face at this moment, and she simply pretended to be deaf and dumb, thinking about marrying her daughter out first.
Ming Lan will not take the initiative to find faults, she is very busy now, in addition to taking care of family matters, she also takes care of demolishing walls and grounding. There is a small vacant courtyard and a mountain forest between Houfu and Chengyuan. The most preliminary work is to remove most of the high fences that block the middle of the two houses, and connect the walls of the two houses. The vacant houses and forests are all wrapped in.
This is fairly easy to handle. The real cost is the labor cost. Lonely mountains and forests need to be planned, those that should be fenced up, and those that should be leveled are leveled and planted with fruit trees and flowers. After leaving the space for paving, there are no young and old pavilions.
Let’s take your time, Minglan is not in a hurry, she intends to perfect a little bit, do everything within her capacity, do as much money as she has.
Because women and women are not easy to show up, the director Hao Dacheng had to run in and out a dozen times a day. Ming Lan is even more dry and dry. Only Gu, the host, only went to inspect before and after. After two construction sites (still on the way), I went through the drawings three times, and only left the nonsense of'open the door a little bit', and continued to do my best for the country and the people.
Life must continue, and the project will continue without hurries.
The autumn wind is strong, the autumn crab is fat, and the palace is awarded a reward. As soon as the king’s furniture received reunion cakes, taro, chestnuts and hairpins, to show the emperor’s grace; A few, there are other rewards.
Ming Lan got Daimo, golden, bright purple, light pink, crimson, and plain white, six-color big claw tribute chrysanthemum, and another ten baskets of fresh tribute crabs. This kind of reward beyond the routine, must be accepted as usual Gong Shane.
If the nobles in the palace see her, they will say otherwise, but the courtiers must follow the etiquette, otherwise it will be disrespectful; after submitting the famous post to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he was approved (it's a pity), the next day Minglan had to get up early and wear Drive into the palace after it's done.
You have to get out of the car after passing through the inner gate of the imperial city, with a heavy outfit and a deflated belly, hiking in the vast Miyagi city, and keeping your facial expressions always in a panic and grateful The distorted state of joy-I really suffer.
Ming Lanning is willing to be rewarded fewer times.
Under the guidance of the palace people, it was easy to walk into a palace room. Inside, there were two noble family members who were all wearing first-class fateful costumes, about forty years a year, with a quiet face, Minglan did not know; The other was the wife of the uncle Zhang who hadn't seen her for a long time.
The two behaved closely, and their appearances were similar.
Minglan tried to squeeze a gentle smile at them, and then moved to a seat as fast as the court etiquette could tolerate. Then she lifted her head gracefully, smiled at the lady in front of her, and just exchanged a few words with Zhang, before she could say anything else, she walked into a female officer outside and said loudly: "Please move forward. Ning Palace."
Minglan's heart sank. Yining Palace is the residence of the Empress Dowager Shengde. The three immediately got up. Before walking, Zhang clan smiled at Minglan: "This is my mother." Minglan had guessed seven or eight points in his heart, and hurriedly saluted: "I have seen the British grandma." /
"Don't be so polite." The British Mrs. Zhang was polite and kindly took Ming Lan's hand, looked at Ming Lan as she walked, and laughed softly, "It really looks good. Outsiders say that Erlang is married. I’m looking at my daughter-in-law, and I saw that it was not a lie."
Minglan blushed and humbled a few words.
It's hard to talk privately in the palace. The three of them walked quietly with the palace people, and soon arrived at Yining Palace. After the palace people informed them, the three of them entered in file. After bowing and saluting, they stood aside respectfully.
Mother Kong once taught the Sheng family girls several postures that can be used to bow their heads respectfully, and look around without a trace. Minglan chose one, with her cheeks sideways slightly, eyelids not moving, just moving her gaze. Clearly see the surroundings.
Jiji, a woman in the palace dress, Minglan took the time to take a quick glance, but saw that in the middle was the Queen Mother Shengde sitting first, and the Queen in the second seat, with her sister Xiao Shen standing beside her, and the two sisters looked different. good looking. The empress dowager Guan Shengde's demeanor and words are quite straightforward, and she wants to be a bright and lively beauty when she is young. She smiled at the three newcomers: "I got a new kind of tea, so I invited the queen sisters to have tea, and the three ladies were so tired that they had to run again."
Ming Lan and the other three people humbly resigned, and thanked them several times.
Little Shen walked down with a smile, came to Zhang’s mother and daughter, bowed and bowed to his sister-in-law and in-law’s aunt, and the queen smiled on top: "I’m thinking about you, I have some royal meals there. The eight-treasure black rice steamed cake made by Fangxin is a recipe in southern Shun. I’m afraid it doesn’t taste like this in Beijing, so you can go back and try it."
Ms. Zhang took the lead in giving thanks, followed by Ming Lan and Zhang. Mrs. Zhang smiled and said: "It is said that the flavors of the snacks in the south are changeable. It seems that I have waited for a lifetime in the capital, and I am a blessing to my mother."
The queen also smiled politely, glanced at Yu Zhaoyi, who was standing next to her belly, and frowned slightly and said: "You are inconvenient, but you should go back and rest." Yu Zhaoyi was pregnant, her face was charming. Better than ever, she just smiled and said: "The queen is sympathetic to her concubine, but her concubine has been greedy since she was young. It is rare to have a chance to rub some good tea. How can she go?"
The Queen Mother Shengde smiled openly: "You naughty! This mouth is just so popular, it's strange that the queen and the queen love you recently!"
"Look at what you said, the queen mother, don't you care about your concubines?" Yu Zhaoyi groaned.
The empress dowager sits next to a thin woman who is her daughter-in-law, Princess Yu. She also missed a few words and smiled in the hall. Only the queen's face became more ugly, and she insisted on maintaining her dignity.
Ming Lan quickly retracted her eyes and bowed her head.
Because the emperor was afraid that his own mother would be wronged, he deliberately separated the queen mothers from the two palaces so that the queen mothers of Saint Ann could have a more comfortable life. Only the queen was tired. , And then return to the palace to accept the concubine's greetings.
The British Lord is the head of the kingdoms. The position in the central government is superb and everyone respects. The Queen Mother Shengde awarded Mrs. Zhang a seat. Ming Lan, Xiao Shen and Zhang also got the honor. Sitting next to him, Minglan exclaimed fortune.
As soon as I sat down, I only heard the Empress Dowager Shengde smile at Mrs. Zhang halfway: "I won't hide it in front of you. Come and see these two..." She pointed to the two palaces next to her. Pretending to be a woman, Ming Lan followed the line of sight, and couldn't help being slightly surprised. What a pair of stunning women! These two women are both less than 20 years old. Although they are past their cardamom years, they are beautiful and beautiful.
"The two of them have been by my side for many years. They are well-behaved, well-behaved, and rational. I like them very much. Seeing that they are not young, I intend to find a home for them.... Well, for me Reluctant, I thought I told them to serve the emperor, but the queen was unhappy." Empress Shengde sighed, but looked straight at Madam Zhang.
This is accusing the queen of being "jealous".
Minglan silently counted the beads on her dress, and said to herself a hundred times, "I am not the protagonist, just a dragon sleeve without lines".
Mrs. Zhang is not a vegetarian, either, she smiled kindly: "The emperor is now prosperous and heirs are prosperous, and I think it's because of the empress's kindness and virtue. The queen mother is naturally kind, but the queen also has some thoughts. These two Since these girls are so outstanding, why don’t they choose another young talent of the same age for them?"
After hearing these words, the queen had a smile on her face, and she looked at Mrs. Zhang with smiling eyes as a reward.
