    It is said that Mei Haiquan was instructing Yang Shengzhi in the study. Wanyu followed Mrs. Wu into the bedroom to talk. Mrs. Wu took Wanyu's hand and asked questions. She also specifically called the maid who was following Wanyu to ask questions. Listen to people  Everyone said that the new uncle treated the girl considerately, and Zixuan was enjoying herself again. Mrs. Wu was happy in her heart, and a smile appeared on her face, and she felt happy for a while.

    Zixuan smiled and said, "I'll give you something later, but don't feel bad about it."

    Wanyu said: "My sister-in-law's things must be good things. How dare I find fault with them? My sister-in-law is so skillful, her needlework is bright, her knots are well knotted, and her paintings are exquisite. I always want to ask my sister-in-law to do it myself."  I make things, but my sister-in-law can't spare any time. Seeing that each of my eldest brother's clothes and shoes is more exquisite than the last, I'm afraid that except for wearing the clothes made by my sister-in-law, he doesn't care about anything else now?"

    Zixuan went to twist Wanyu's face and said: "Screw it! Your sister-in-law, the eldest sister-in-law, coaxed me to embroider the handkerchief and tie the knots for you, doing this and that, and she also figured out what to draw on the cup.  I¡¯ll give you flowers and bugs, but now I¡¯m talking nonsense in front of my wife again.¡±

    Mrs. Wu smiled and said, "Sister Xuan is good at painting. The first one even painted two cats for me. Mr. Lu's wife came to our house as a guest. She was full of praise when she looked at the painting, so I gave it to her as a gift.  , paint me a picture and hang it up later." Zixuan responded quickly.  Mrs. Wu added: "What do you want to give to Girl Wan? Take it out and let me see it."

    Zixuan ordered Xianghua to get it. Not long after, she brought over a large colorful box made of filigree and solid gold. When she opened the box, she saw that there were ten cups in the box, stacked one above another. She took them out and laid them out one by one.  It is the finest white-bodied porcelain from the official kiln. It is as smooth as jade and as white as gelatin. The large one is four inches long and five or six inches wide, and the small one is as big as a thumb. The porcelain is painted with flowers from famous artists in the Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties.  Insects and birds, the colors may be elegant and fresh, or gorgeous and thick, and the painting skills are exquisite and skillful, and the imitations are lifelike. One side of the cup is painted, and the other side is inscribed with a famous poem about flowers and birds. The font is strict and the bones are strong.  Each cup is inlaid with gold and engraved with a pattern of Pisces lying on a lotus, which is very ingenious.

    Everyone watched in admiration. Wanyu was already stunned and took a cup to play with.  Zixuan said: "I am really exhausted from painting this set of cups. Your eldest brother inscribed the words on them. I originally thought I would give them to you on the day you get married. Who would have thought that there is still one unfinished cup and it has been delayed until today."

    Wanyu felt warm in her heart, took Zixuan's hand and said with a smile: "Good sister-in-law, I have seen many exquisite utensils, but none of them can compare to this. My sister-in-law treats me kindly, and I will always cherish this.  Don¡¯t dare to forget.¡±

    Zixuan smiled and said: "It's just your sweet mouth. If you like it, it won't be a waste of my time. In fact, the plum blossoms, orchids and bamboo branches you painted are also very charming. It's just that you are lazy and don't like to draw. Look back.  Also draw me a vase of plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums, and I will put them in the house to arrange flowers."

    Wanyu smiled and said: "I am not lazy, I just don't dare to do anything in front of you. Since my sister-in-law likes it, this is easy to say, I will definitely give you one."

    Mrs. Wu was happy in her heart and said: "Let them bring some fresh fruits and cakes. Yesterday, your eldest brother brought some good candied fruits. Let us ladies try them together."

    Just as she was talking about this, Wanyu saw Mei Shuda standing in the corridor waving to her through the window, so she got up and walked out with an excuse. She stood under the corridor and said to Mei Shuda: "What are you doing sneakily? Why don't you come in?"  Going to the house? I only saw you once when I was kowtowing, and then I disappeared."

    Mei Shuda raised his hand and said: "Congratulations to my sister, now I have chosen a good son-in-law! Yang Laosan is a thousand times stronger than Yang Lao Da. I see that he is also sincere to my sister. If he bullies you in the future,  Just tell me and I'll take it out on you right away!" Without waiting for Wanyu to speak, she smiled and said: "Sister, she looks more and more shy today. The hairpin ring she is wearing is also very nice, and the handkerchief she is wearing is also very nice.  She also looks good, and the clothes she wears also look good"

    Before she finished speaking, Wanyu smiled and said, "Don't coax me with nice words. You have something to ask me for help, right?"

    Mei Shuda sighed and said with a smile: "If a girl is too smart and is unpopular, you should know how to pretend to be stupid in front of Yang Laosan in the future."

    Wanyu pursed her lips and smiled: "Tell me what you want, I'm listening."

    Mei Shuda scratched his head, hesitated, and finally took a deep breath and said: "Actually, it's nothing, I just fell in love with a girl from the same family. Thinking about it in the past few days, I always feel that I can't eat well or sleep well. I might have done something wrong.  Lovesick.¡±

    Wanyu was startled for a moment, then she suppressed a smile and said, "I see, I wonder which family's daughter-in-law can fall in your eyes?"

    Mei Shuda said: "This is the third girl from Xiaoguofu's family in the capital. Her name is Li Xiuwei. I accidentally bumped into her in the garden of Xiaoguofu's family. She is a very handsome lady."After breaking through, they retreated hastily to Liaocheng. Dou Jiande led his army to pursue them all the way, and finally captured Liaocheng and killed Yu Wenhuaji.  As the winner, Dou Jiande not only confiscated Yu Wenhuaji's gold and silver jewelry, but also confiscated the charming Queen Xiao.  Although she has been widowed twice and lost her husband twice, Queen Xiao has never lost her beauty and noble temperament.

    Dou Jiande, in line with the idea of ??not having anything for nothing, turned the concubine of Yu Wenji into his own princess. He indulged in sensual entertainment in Leshou, almost forgetting his original intention of competing in the Central Plains.

    Fortunately, Dou Jiande had a jealous first wife, Mrs. Cao. When they were "going to Wushan together" in the dark, she would suddenly appear and get angry with an oversized light bulb, which made Dou Jiande lose his temper.  At this time, the power of the northern Turks developed rapidly, and they had the potential to invade the Central Plains.

    Princess Yicheng, the younger sister of Emperor Sui Yang who was married to the Turkic Khan and the sister-in-law of Empress Xiao, heard that Li Yuan had proclaimed himself emperor in Chang'an and found out about Empress Xiao's whereabouts, so she sent envoys to Leshou to welcome Empress Xiao.  , Dou Jiande did not dare to confront the Turks head-on, so he had to obediently hand over Queen Xiao and the royal family to the envoys.  After several twists and turns, Queen Xiao did not expect to immigrate to the Turks.  Abroad, her charm was still an invincible sword, piercing the hearts of two generations of Turkic heads of state, Chuluo Khan and Jieli Khan, in one fell swoop.

    However, Empress Xiao is not an ordinary beauty, but a hard-core beauty.  Ten years later, in the fourth year of Emperor Taizong's reign, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty sent general Li Jing to defeat the Turks. As his fifth husband, Jieli Khan also lost his job. Fortunately, he did not lose his head.

    Queen Xiao was once again brought to the victor Li Shimin as a trophy.  She was already forty-eight years old at this time, while Li Shimin was only thirty-three years old, but from the first moment he saw her, Li Shimin was conquered by this old woman with a tall bun, a waist like a willow, and a face like a peony.

    Immediately, Li Shimin, who was still very thrifty at this time, held a grand banquet for her.  At this banquet, gorgeous palace lanterns were hung everywhere, and the table was piled with delicacies. Tang Taizong thought that this scene was luxurious enough, so he asked Aunt Xiao next to him: "How do you think the scene in front of you compares with the Sui Palace?"

    In fact, the current ostentation is still far from the luxurious situation of the Sui Palace!  During the night banquet in the Sui Palace, no lamps were lit. Instead, one hundred and twenty luminous pearls with a diameter of several inches were hung in the corridor. Dozens of flame mountains were set up in front of the palace and sandalwood and spices were burned.  The strange fragrance lingers around the beams, like entering a fairyland. More than 200 cartloads of sandalwood are burned every night.  In this regard, Empress Xiao was inconvenient to say clearly, but said calmly: "Your Majesty is the king who established the foundation, why should you compare with the king who destroyed the country?"

    Tang Taizong immediately understood the meaning of her words, was deeply impressed by her clear sense of reason and appropriate words, and respected and loved her even more.  Empress Xiao spent eighteen peaceful years in the Tang Palace and passed away at the age of sixty-seven.  Li Shimin later buried Empress Xiao in Yang Guang's Mausoleum and gave her the posthumous title of Empress Min.

    There is a saying nowadays that you should not hang yourself from a tree. You can hang yourself from several surrounding trees several times.  Empress Xiao changed from Yang Guang, Yu Wenji, Dou Jiande to Jieli Khan. As a result, all these trees were exhausted, but she never died.  As the slogan goes, age is just a number to her.
