Of course, the flower viewing feast is not just about flower viewing. In the era when the Tang Dynasty was so keen on singing and dancing, the sound of singing and dancing of silk and bamboo was also indispensable.
Lin Wanwan came to attend the banquet this time, and the gift she gave her was a gift bought from the Tang Dynasty. Although it was very suitable for her status, compared with the meeting gift given to her by Empress Xiao, it seemed that she was not prepared to be careless.
She had already silently made a decision in her heart, and went back to modern times to buy a high-quality peony cultivated with modern high technology, and gave it to Empress Xiao, reciprocating the favor.
She could tell that Queen Xiao really liked flowers, especially peonies.
In the midst of the excitement, a disciple suddenly came to report: "Mrs. Song Guogong has arrived with her niece."
Lin Wanwan was just thinking about who it was when Empress Xiao turned her head to look at her and said with a smile: "My younger siblings haven't gone out for many years, but they are here today. Let's go and greet them."
Siblings?
Lin Wanwan didn't react for a while, but she understood the next second.
Isn’t Mrs. Song Guogong the wife of Xiao Yu, the Dugu family of Yipingaoming? Isn’t she the direct younger brother and sister of Empress Xiao!
She was actually just a selfish person who hurt Xiao Chong.
"Brothers and sisters, you are a rare guest. How are you these days?"
She had raised Xiao Chong single-handedly, and her favorite granddaughter-in-law was of course a member of her Dugu family.
Hey! Lin Wanwan suddenly felt that she was getting deeper and deeper into trouble. If she continued to communicate like this, what should she do? Wouldn't it mean that the lie would become true?
Therefore, Yang Guang had a deep relationship with his brother-in-law, not to mention the relationship between Xiao Yu and Empress Xiao, the siblings.
Yes, after all, she is the granddaughter of Dugu Xin, a famous handsome man in history. How could she be so ugly? There are no ugly people in the Dugu family, which has three queens.
Therefore, it is easy to understand that Xiao Chong, as a descendant of two families' marriage, looks so otherworldly. He also has the intelligent bloodline of Gu Yewang, so he has been genetically selected, and he has been reincarnated as a little expert.
Although she is younger than Empress Xiao, she looks older than Empress Xiao based on her appearance. However, you can still see her former beauty from the outline of her facial features.
After the Dugu family and Empress Xiao finished their greetings, everyone came forward to greet her. Lin Wanwan also mixed in with the crowd and gave Mrs. Dugu a blessing gift.
At the end of the flower-appreciation banquet, Queen Xiao suddenly said to Lin Wanwan: "Look at my memory. Today I was only focused on admiring the flowers, but I forgot about another thing."
What else could Lin Wanwan say, of course it could only be to thank her, but she couldn't refuse.
She, like her husband Xiao Yu, no matter how the dynasty changes, their strong relationship network cannot be affected.
Xiao Chong, as an older young man in the Tang Dynasty, had not been successfully conquered by Dugu Yan for so many years, so it was definitely none of her business.
The worst thing is, when I return to Luan County in the future, I'll just give it all back to Xiao Chong.
This heavy love... was all wrongly paid!
The flower-viewing banquet continued, and the Dugu family and Empress Xiao, who had the highest status and seniority, were naturally the center of the crowd.
But if they really had to follow Tang law and send Xiao Chong to the Yamen to give him a beating, they still couldn't make up their mind.
Xiao Chong's grandmother, Mrs. Dugu, had a good background. She came from a powerful family in Dugu. Her three aunts were the Empress of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the Lonely Empress of the Sui Dynasty (the mother of Yang Guang), and the Empress Li Tang Yuanzhen (the mother of Li Yuan and the grandmother of Li Shimin).
).
For some reason, Lin Wanwan read in Wu's body the taste of a melon-eater who was just watching the fun and not taking it too seriously.
After Lin Wanwan finished her salute, Empress Xiao said to Madam Dugu with a smile: "Brother and sister, this is Wanwan. You haven't seen her before, right? She's very refreshing, I'm very happy."
Especially the Xiao family in Lanling and the Dugu family in Yunzhong are famous for having many beauties.
Lin Wanwan could feel the faint hostility coming from Duguyan, but she didn't care at all.
Lin Wanwan and the niece brought by the Dugu family became the secondary focus.
Lin Wanwan remembered that Xiao Chong had said that he was personally raised by his grandparents when he was a child. So...did the Dugu family really come to see her?
Xiao Yu and Queen Xiao were from the same mother. After Queen Xiao married Yang Guang, she took Xiao Yu to her side to raise her.
Ancient books are the heritage of a family and the most precious wealth. Empress Xiao actually wanted to pass on all the medical books to Lin Wanwan. It was really unexpected for everyone that she valued her so much.
Today, in Empress Xiao's presence, she admitted everything for the first time.
Although whether it is laws and regulations or folk customs, marriage matters are dictated by the parents and the matchmaker. Children do not listen to their parents' arrangements and just take care of them.
Lin Wanwan felt the inquiring eyes of the beautiful girl on her several times, and she already had a guess about her identity. I am afraid this is Duguyan!
She didn't need to think too much. After a while, while the elders were chatting, Wu came up and introduced them to each other.
Lin Wanwan asked cooperatively: "What did my aunt forget?"
But Sun Da couldn't help himself, and Xiao Chong had always been unruly. Even his father couldn't do anything about it, and as a grandmother, she had nothing to say.
Empress Xiao looked at Lin Wanwan's words and thought that Mrs. Dugu was here for her, right?
Empress Xiao pulled Lin Wanwan up to greet her, and Xiao Chong's stepmother, Xiao Wu, was also there to welcome her.
Only then did Madam Dugu cast her gaze seriously on Lin Wanwan, nodding with a smile, but her eyes were calm.
Soon, Mrs. Dugu and a beautiful twenty-nine-year-old girl walked to the pavilion where they were admiring flowers and drinking tea.
It's just that their relationship is only in name after all.
You may say that this world is fair or unfair, but some people are already superior to others due to their background, but their appearance is also so unattainable.
After generations of beauty genes, people in these established families cannot be ugly even if they want to.
And now Xiao Kai's only descendant is Xiao Chong, and he won't do anything to him.
"Sister, I'm sorry for bothering you. It's all right. I heard from the government that the place is lively today, so I couldn't help but want to join in." Mrs. Dugu is a woman in her fifties who has aged gracefully.
When you are outdoors, you don't have to perform a solemn ceremony, it's the same for everyone you see.
"I heard that you studied medicine with Mr. Sun. It happens that I also have some medical skills, but now I am old, dizzy, and no longer able to do it. I still have a box of medical books hidden at home, so I will give them to you today. I hope you can
Let’s carry forward our ancestor’s skills well.”
Because Empress Xiao was deeply loved by Empress Dowager Dugu, Empress Dowager Dugu loved the whole family and married her niece Dugu to her younger brother Xiao Yu as his wife.
Duguyan was very arrogant and did not talk to Lin Wanwan from beginning to end, and Lin Wanwan was the same and did not want to socialize with her.
After all, Xiao Chong is Xiao Yu's eldest grandson, and he has no mother to love him. How can the old couple part with it? The so-called youngest son and eldest grandson are the lifeblood of the old lady.
As soon as this statement came out, the whole audience was shocked again.
The last time Xiao Chong had not asked Li Shimin for marriage, she was invited by Princess Xiangcheng to attend a spring banquet at her home. She did not see the old lady or her stepmother.
No, it’s a rare ancient book! Maybe it was written by a famous artist, but it was lost after it was returned to Xiao Chong!
Maybe she should move to modern times. After all, this is proof of Chinese civilization, and it is the best proof to stop those who are nagging about Chinese civilization.
And there must be many lost ancient prescriptions recorded in it. If they were hidden, it would be like a pearl covered in dust.
You'd better exchange it for other good things. Well, Xiao Chong likes military things, so I'll check it out when I return to modern times.
