Although Caiwei agreed to Mu Mu, she wanted to avoid Du Shaoqing as much as possible, but as a relative of the family, Du Shaoqing married a serious aunt and cousin. There was no way to avoid socializing, especially in the new year. Anyway, everyone in the family had nothing to do. We invite you to come and go, enjoy plum blossoms today, have wine tomorrow, listen to a play later, always looking for various reasons to have fun.
Caiwei is now the grandma of the Duke's Mansion, so she is naturally a popular character. The invitations to dinner have been arranged from the third to the tenth day of the Lunar New Year. .
After finally getting some free time after the tenth day of the lunar month, when she got up in the morning to say hello, her mother-in-law said: "Ru Lan sent someone to send a message, saying that her garden has just been tidied up, and a theater troupe from the south has been invited. Singing opera, come with me tomorrow! That nephew and uncle of the Du family is quite capable. It has only been a few years and now he has held the position of minister. I heard the empress said that the emperor always praised him, and he united with the Sacred Heart. This career will not be smooth sailing from now on. Rulan's child is more stable than her sister, so it would be good for you to interact with her more."
Her mother-in-law said a lot of words, which made Caiwei unable to leave. She thought that even if she went to his house, the female family members would only listen to the show and eat wine in the backyard, and would not see the men in front of her, so she nodded in agreement.
Early the next morning, she accompanied her mother-in-law to the Assistant Minister's Mansion. Since he won the first prize, Du Shaoqing's official career has been quite smooth. After returning from abroad for a few years, he joined the Ministry of Civil Affairs and became the Assistant Assistant Minister Zuo. This is a real shortage. Compared with wood, Any first-class general must have more real power. If he were to go out tomorrow, he might be a feudal official. This was something Caiwei had not thought of in advance.
In Caiwei's impression, Du Shaoqing is a somewhat pedantic scholar. Although he is good at reading, his career path in the officialdom is not as close as that of poetry and classics. It requires cunning nature and acquired experience, so there are many, many The reason why Jinshi became an official but ended up in a miserable state was because although scholars had to work hard for ten years and sell their goods to the emperor's family, they rarely achieved long-term success. This is because scholars often have the angry youth element in their bones and often disdain to be flattered. When it is necessary to flatter someone, they cannot grasp the degree of officialdom. To put it bluntly, they cannot understand the unspoken rules of officialdom.
"But Du Shaoqing has risen to great heights in just a few years. It has to be said that this is a miracle, and it also shows the ambition and ambition of this man.
Before Du Shaoqing married Zheng Rulan, he took four concubines in a row. Not long after she got married to Mu Mu, her mother also said in private that it was a shame that the marriage with the Du family didn't work out. The serious Du Shaoqing was actually such a man.
Caiwei followed her mother-in-law to the ceremonial gate of Du Mansion. When she got off the car, she saw Zheng Rulan with several concubines and maids, and a large group of people were there to meet her.
After greeting each other, Zheng Rulan came over to support Mrs. Zhao and said, "Auntie is really here. I also said that you are busy and cannot come. If you can invite your cousin, it will make me look good." .¡±
Mrs. Zhao said: "It's not even fifteen yet. What can happen? Listen to your mother, your new garden is neatly tidied up. The theater troupe invited people from the south to take the opportunity to come and relax. Listen to what you say, I don¡¯t want my aunt to come.¡±
Zheng Rulan said hurriedly: "What are you talking about, aunt? You can come to our small garden, it's already so beautiful." Mrs. Zhao couldn't help laughing and said: "You are getting smarter with your mouth. Why don't you see your mother here?" Zheng Ruyu said: "You don't know that my mother is so impatient. She may have been delayed by something at home. But Sister Xu has been here long ago and is sitting over there in the Hongmei Pavilion having tea."
The garden of Du Mansion was specially given by the emperor and is much larger than my uncle's mansion. Although the garden at the back is not big, it has the essence of Jiangnan gardens. It has winding paths and secluded pavilions and pavilions, all of which are small and exquisite. The Plum Pavilion is a two-story pavilion with many red plums planted on both sides. Now is the flowering season, and the lingering snow on the branches is even more energetic.
Mrs. Zhao couldn't help but praise a few words, but Zheng Rulan glanced at Caiwei intentionally or unintentionally and said: "It wasn't called this name at first. Later, our father had people transplant these plum blossoms, so he changed it to this name. We still have it." As for the plaque that my grandfather had mentioned, Caiwei couldn't help but look up and saw that against the bright sun, the black plaque was not exactly Du Shaoqing's words."
Caiwei couldn't help but think of what happened in Jizhou Mansion when she was a child. Although Du Mansion was not big at that time, it also had a small garden. In the winter, Du Shaoqing took her to go shopping. She said unhappily: "It's bare." What¡¯s the fun in shopping?¡±
Du Shaoqing asked her: "What is interesting?" She said at that time: "It would be really interesting to have the beautiful scenery of the four seasons reflecting the pavilion." Du Shaoqing asked again: "What kind of beautiful scenery of the four seasons?" She then talked about Zen Buddhism in the Song Dynasty. A poem by Zen Master Wumen: "There are hundreds of flowers in spring and a moon in autumn. There is a cool breeze in summer and snow in winter. If there is no reality to worry about, it is a good time in the world. It is also said that the flowers in spring cannot be without Begonia. The so-calledI am afraid that the flowers will fall asleep late at night, so I burn a high candle to illuminate the red makeup. The fragrance of osmanthus is indispensable when appreciating the moon on an autumn night. The so-called osmanthus moon falls in the middle of the moon, and the fragrance of the sky is floating outside. In summer, you can go boating on the lake in the cool breeze. How can you not be without ten miles of lotus flowers? Fragrant, the lotus breeze brings fragrance, and the bamboo dew drops make a clear sound. In winter, when you boil a pot of sake and watch the snow, how can you have no plum blossoms and no poetry? It is said that there is no spirit without snow but no poetry, and it is vulgar to have snow without poetry. "
When Du Shaoqing heard this, she burst into laughter, saying that she had been thinking about this all day long, and then said: There is an old plum with a crooked neck outside the pavilion in front. No one pays attention to it on weekdays. I don't know whether it has bloomed or not, so I picked it. Wei went over to take a look. Although there were not many, there were a few red plums among the sparse branches.
Caiwei looked at the pavilion and it was also called Diecui Pavilion. She shouted that it should not be suitable for the occasion, so she said it would be better to change it to Hongmei. To be honest, she was young at that time and didn't know what to do. She was full of nonsense. Now she looks at it. The Hongmei Pavilion in front of me couldn't help but bring back memories from the past.
Mrs. Zhao said: "This name is a bit too straightforward." Zheng Rulan smiled and said: "I told my father the same thing, but our father said it is better to be straightforward, so that people can know what it is at a glance. Yes, what's the use of using those obscure names and being arty? Not only the Hongmei Pavilion, but Baihua Pavilion, Yuegui Pavilion, and Lotus Viewing Terrace over there are not all like this."
Caiwei couldn't help but frown a little, and couldn't help but glance at Zheng Rulan. When she met Zheng Rulan's gaze, Caiwei was stunned for a moment. What did Zheng Rulan know? Then she shook her head. These things were just a matter of childhood, so she It was Du Shaoqing who brought up old things with her, so he would never say these things were useless.
After entering Hongmei Pavilion and taking their seats, Caiwei realized why she didn't see the shadow of March, so she asked Qingming behind her: "Where did March go?" Qingming whispered: "Halfway through, she remembered that she had forgotten The girl's hand stove was afraid of being cold, so she went back to get it." Caiwei said, "It's so cold, but she has a lot to do."
Let¡¯s talk about March. I went back to get the stove and came back. Before I entered the second door, I bumped into Feng Sheng. The two hadn¡¯t seen each other for a few years. Back then, Feng Shou followed Du Shaoqing back to his hometown to worship his ancestors. When he got home, he talked about the marriage in March. His mother didn't say anything, but his brother called him over privately and scolded him: "I see that you are quite smart on weekdays, but why did you become confused in this matter? According to your wishes, you will have to marry me in March." When I followed you to Du's house, why didn't you think about the relationship between her and the second girl? No matter how decent you are, you will end up just being a housekeeper. How about following the second girl? According to the girl's relationship with Yue Yue, you will have to be a steward as soon as you two get married. It's better to be someone who can't get along with you. Marriage, you're still hanging on. I'm going to start with my ugly words. That girl in March has an idea. If you are serious about subduing her, being soft may be useful. Once you use these hard tricks, you will be beaten. ¡±
Fengshou also regretted it, but it was too late. When he followed Du Shaoqing back to the capital, March had already gone south with his master. He had been gone for more than half a year. When he came back, he married Feng Liang. Fengshou also got angry and married another man. After all, my daughter-in-law is not as smart as March, and her appearance is more ordinary, a bit dull. Now that she has given birth to a child, she is even more like a rough woman. She can't stand on the stage, but she is even more unsatisfied. Now that she suddenly meets March, she can't help but be stunned daze.
I saw that Yue Yue had a woman's bun and a peach red dress. She looked more round and beautiful, and her face was brighter. I don't know how much better than the mother-in-law at home. Yue Yue was stunned when she saw him, nodded slightly, and looked past him. Walking past, I suddenly heard Fengshou stretch out his hand and say, "March, how are you doing?" March said without looking back, "Thank you for your concern, I'm getting along." Without stopping, he went straight inside, and Fengshou stood there in a daze. I stood there for a long time before going to the front. It was only after some things had passed that I realized I was wrong and regretted it too late.
Let's talk about Caiwei. I had a few too many glasses of wine at noon, so some of the bosses inevitably found an excuse to go out. Thinking of drinking some wine, they unknowingly left the Hongmei Pavilion and walked along the stone path past a rock corridor. He saw Du Shaoqing coming over there. By the time Caiwei tried to avoid it, it was already too late, Du Shaoqing had already seen her.
Du Shaoqing stopped for a moment and then walked over. Caiwei could only squat down slightly and said, "Big brother, you are doing well this time." Du Shaoqing looked at her straight for a long time and then said solemnly: "Qian'er heard that you have something wrong with you. It's not good, how are you now?" Caiwei said, "Brother Lao is thinking about it." Du Shaoqing looked at her silently for a while and said, "It's better for my sister to feel more at ease. You don't have to be constrained by anything here." He looked at her for a long time. , turned around and went.
Caiwei's eyes flashed and she called to the West Lake Stone next to her: "Sister." Zheng Rulan turned around from behind the rock and saw Caiwei looking at her, smiled slightly and said, "I don't care who he is thinking about." , since I married him, I will be his wife for the rest of my life." Caiwei couldn't help but nodded and said, "I have nothing to do with eldest brother?"
Zheng Rulan also said: "I know this, if you are serious, I am afraid that Mrs. Du today will not be me." Caiwei couldn't help but secretly thought: Although her sister is confused, Zheng Rulan is a rare understanding person, and Du Shaoqing has some good fortune after all. This is the thin thread of a thousand-mile marriage. Let's not talk about the old fate. Let's share this white-headed alliance. Although there are regrets, it is also as everyone wants.
