Before we knew it, it was the winter solstice in November. According to the "Han Book", the yang energy of the winter solstice is rising. The king and Taoist master, so all officials have to submit congratulations, and the emperor wants to go to the suburbs to worship the sky. However, among the people, it is just a season, eating a bowl of wontons.

Northern proverb: Winter Solstice wontons, summer solstice noodles. The ancients believed that the summer solstice represented the rise of yin energy, so there was no official celebration ceremony.

On this day, Zhu Mingzhi returned to Beijing from the south and moved into the princess's mansion.

For several months, in order to prepare for Xu Yu's wedding, the Xu family was very busy. Even Mu Caichun and Mu Lingxia sisters also helped sew mandarin duck pillowcases, etc. Xu Yu, the prospective groom, was embarrassed and embarrassed to go out and visit him. He was always at home to accompany his maids such as Qingyan.

When the lights were on, Xu Yu and Xu Ying had dinner with their parents. Zhulan hurried in and said, "Miss Mingzhi's wet nurse has gone, and the girl is crying to death."

Mu Ningxue knew that the family affection among the royal family was indifferent and that the status of the wet nurse was no less than that of her biological mother, so she hurriedly said, "Call Ye'er and his wife to help with it."

"I'm going too." Xu Yu shouted.

The wedding date is April, and it is not suitable for both men and women to meet each other, but before Mu Ningxue could speak, Xu Hao said, "There are not so many taboos. His fiancée has no relatives, how can he not go to visit him? Go."

"Yes." Xu Yu ran away like a flying man.

At that moment, Xu Ye, Zhang Lianyi, Ye Qin, with Xu Yu, and two housekeepers, rushed to the princess's mansion. As soon as she arrived at the door, Xu Ye ordered the housekeeper to assist in the funeral.

Many eunuchs in white clothes and white hats were crowded in the mansion. The group walked to the main hall and saw an empty coffin parked in the middle, filled with sandalwood in the yard. More than a dozen tree lamps were lit, and ten imperial monks and Taoists were already chanting scriptures.

The yard was noisy, and the little eunuch ran in and out from time to time. Xu Ye said to his wife: "You guys go in, I'll watch here."

"Okay." Zhang Lianyi and Ye Qin went inside, and Xu Yu could only stand with his eyes and could not follow him.

Unexpectedly, the main gate of the inner house was locked, and there was a big red plaque hanging on it. I asked the palace maids. It turned out that the house was filled with dowry given by the emperor. The palace maids were worried about the loss, so they sealed the door.

He called a little palace maid and led them to hit the small wall door on the west side, and walked through the pavilions and towers, and heard crying from afar.

When I went in, I saw that the room on the right was filled with women, and Zhu Mingzhi's wet nurse was lying on the kang. The crying was mainly in the room on the left. When I walked over, I saw Zhu Mingzhi crying and fainted.

Seeing that she was so sad, Zhang Lianyi hurriedly made a gesture to her own people, then she covered her mouth and burst into tears, and the others also cried with tears.

After such artificiality, she cried back the heartbroken Zhu Mingzhi. She opened her eyes in confusion and found that it was Zhang Lianyi and Ye Qin's sister-in-law. She seemed to have seen a close relative, and suddenly threw herself into Lianyi's arms and burst into tears.

"Don't cry, don't cry." Zhang Lianyi persuaded.

After the two persuaded each other for a long time, Zhu Mingzhi finally stopped crying. Zhang Lianyi breathed a sigh of relief and asked Ye Qin to accompany her and looked up at the environment in the house.

After walking out for a while, Zhang Lianyi returned to the house and suddenly saw a girl among the palace maids who looked like Mu Lingxia, wearing a unique plain Hunan skirt, who was whispering Zhu Mingzhi.

"who is she?"

Zhang Lianyi was puzzled and looked carefully and looked like twin sisters with Ling Xia, but the girl's two curved eyebrows were thicker and longer than Mu Lingxia's, and her eyes were covered with crystal tears, which looked like a pair of autumn waves.

It looks so similar! Zhang Lianyi called a little girl and asked her and found out that she was Gu Meixian, a talented woman from Jiangnan.

She walked up and said, "We need a small burial here, let's go to the yard elsewhere."

Zhu Mingzhi refused to leave, and was hugged by Ye Qin and took her out. The crowd waited to Zhu Mingzhi's yard. Gu Meixian stepped forward and bowed generously, and said polite words to each other.

In this way, Xu Ye and his wife were busy all night. After burying their wet nurse in the coffin in the early morning of the next day, everyone relaxed and couldn't help but doze off.

Ye Qin asked Zhu Mingzhi to go to bed for a while. Zhu Mingzhi said, and asked his friend Gu Meixian to sleep with her, and gave Meixian's bedroom to her two sisters-in-laws.

In the bedroom, Gu Meixian, who was lying down, only slept for a while. When she woke up, she saw Zhu Mingzhi closing his eyes, his face softly pressing on the pillow, and his cheeks were red as if he was covered with rouge. She pressed her face over and felt the temperature, and then exclaimed: "Are you afraid you are sick again? I said why are you so warm?"

Zhu Mingzhi woke up, opened his eyes and saw Meixian with an anxious look on his face, frowned and asked, "What?"

Gu Meixian said with concern: "You have a fever. Do you want me to call the imperial doctor? Do you want to drink water?"

Zhu Mingzhi shook his head slightly on the pillow, slowly closed his eyes, but threw an arm on Meixian's body. Gu Meixian raised his hand to hold it, and the palm of his hand was hot. He knew that her hands were sore, so he gently kneaded it.

After a while, Zhu Mingzhi smiled at her. Gu Meixian thought she woke up and then looked at her and found that she was still sleeping. She didn't know what was funny to meet in her dream.

Gu Meixian naturally fell asleep without any intention. She just watched her guarding her. She suddenly found that Zhu Mingzhi frowned and looked like he was about to cry. After a while, she cried out.

"Wake up quickly." Gu Meixian hurriedly lie over and called in his ear.

Zhu Mingzhi woke up leisurely, his voice still choked. Gu Meixian asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhu Mingzhi said in a daze: "I know your heart!"

"Ah!" Gu Meixian blushed and quickly called out a few more times. Zhu Mingzhi opened his eyes and saw that Meixian was beside him, and his face turned red.

"whee!"

Seeing her blushing, Gu Meixian knew that she had regarded herself as Xu Yu, and laughed and said, "From the truth, what did you dream of?"

A smile appeared on Zhu Mingzhi's face, and then he became sad again. He obviously remembered the funeral, and he burst into tears in a daze. He wanted to sit up, but he didn't expect that he would fall down without any strength.

Meixian hurriedly said, "You keep it! It's not a fun thing to do if you have a fever. If you have something to do, I'll get up and do it for you."

Before moving into the Xu Mansion, Zhu Mingzhi had few friends, and his only close friend was Gu Meixian, who was far away in Jiangnan. He had been informed over the years, so she nodded slightly, closed her eyes with confidence and fell asleep again.

Gu Meixian then gently got out of bed, put on her clothes, turned around and covered her with a brocade quilt, walked to the dressing table and sat down, calling out Yun'er.

Yun'er was her personal maid and quickly walked in with ease. Gu Meixian ordered: "Go and scoop the basin of water."

"I understand." Yun'er turned around and went out.

Gu Meixian raised her hand and took off the condom from the mirror, looked at the mirror that Guangkejian people, wrapped her scattered temples behind her ears with her fingertips, looked at her for a while, and felt that her eyebrows seemed to be thicker, like a cigarette.

She has had a pair of unique eyebrows since she was a child, so her father named her Meixian.

He habitually used his fingers to tick the eyebrows. At this time, Yun'er came in with a copper basin and placed it on the table. Gu Meixian soaked the sweat towel in first, twisted it on his face, closed his eyes and applied it for a while, and tweaked the sweat towel dry.

After using Xiangpanzi, she washed her face carefully, wiped it with a handkerchief, and the beauty in the mirror had white and greasy skin. Yun'er handed over the tea clock for her mouth rinsing, picked it up, drank a sip of water, rinsed her mouth, and lowered her head to spit in the clock in Yun'er's hand.

She didn't want to alarm the others, so she rinsed her mouth and forgot it. She used her handkerchief to dot her lips, like a big red cherry. She used her fingertips to tidy up her eyebrows, raised her hand and took off the mirror cover.

At this time, Chunyan walked in quietly and picked up the comb directly. Gu Meixian turned around and sat down, allowing Chunyan to tear her long hair.

The hair is of excellent quality, and it slips away as soon as it is opened, like brocade. In fact, no one in the world can wash his hair as frequently as the Xu family. Of course, when the weather is cold, even the Xu family women will wash it every few days, after all, it has long hair.

Chunyan slowly combed it and gently combed it with a comb. She found that her hair was black and shiny, and her hair was thin and soft, so there was no need for a comb to suck oil. She just used a long skewer to get off, tied it up, tied it up, tied it up, and combed it with a hairpin and just finished it.

Born with good hair quality, no need for modification, Chunyan pulled away the long skewers, and the hair on both sides drooped like dark clouds, making Chunyan very envious.

Meixian sat upright, pursed the row of hair on her forehead in front of the mirror, cut it with a comb, then picked up one hand to look at the mirror, looked at it with her back hand, and looked at her back in the large mirror. She was very satisfied, so she put down the mirror and stood up.

Yun'er was waiting for a white satin-shaped jacket with silver-red borders. Chunyan took it and shook it open, serving Gu Meixian to put it on. Yun'er stepped forward to button her and pulled it with her four corners.

Chunyan walked over to get the white fox fur, Yun'er took it and wrapped it around Meixian's neck and buttoned it. All the procedures were meticulous, which showed that the Gu family was also a premier family in the local area.

Gu Meixian looked at the mirror back and forth until there was no mistake on her body before she walked away.

In fact, except for the hairpin, she had no decoration or powder on her body. The maid Haitang brought a bowl of eight-treasure porridge, and Gu Meixian ate it. She walked over to see Zhu Mingzhi, and she was already asleep.

She went to the room opposite to pay tribute to Zhang Lianyi and Ye Qin. She didn't want anyone to go to the room to deal with trivial matters, so she hurried to go to the room and saw the two ladies sitting in the room talking.

After walking in and asking An, Meixian sat down gently. Zhang Lianyi turned her head and smiled and said, "Miss got up early, why don't she sleep for a while?"

"Thank you for your hard work, sister-in-law."

Gu Meixian said with a smile, without mentioning that Zhu Mingzhi was sick, and he was worried that his two wives would be anxious, because there was an imperial doctor in the mansion, so there was no need to be alarmed.

As he was talking, the third young master of the Xu family came outside, and Gu Meixian stood up to avoid it.

When Xu Qian walked in, he only saw her pretty back and went in and asked, "Sister-in-law, who was the princess who just entered?"

Ye Qin said: "No, it's the lady of the Gu family in Jiangnan and the daughter of the famous Gu Xiang."

"Don't say, she and Ling Xia are very similar." Zhang Lianyi smiled and said, "When you bring someone to our house and call him Ling Xia to meet you, I guess you will be very interesting at that time."

Xu Ying didn't care and said, "My wife sent me here and ask me if my second brother's wedding date is right? I told me that the wet nurse is always the wet nurse, and it became a vain for two months. There was no custom of filial piety for the wet nurse, so no one discussed it."

"Myongzhi's opinion must be asked about this."

Zhang Lianyi said, after all, it was a princess. Even if the princess title was no longer enthroned, the Xu family would never make decisions without authorization. "I am still asleep. I didn't ask her last night, and I probably wouldn't say anything after asking."

Xu Xian said disapprovingly: "The Empress Dowager asked her to be the old lady in our family, so it will naturally be the old lady."
