Chapter 133 Occasionally Meeting an Old Man in the Palace
Chapter 133 Occasionally meeting an old friend in the palace
Autumn hunting begins, and people in the capital go to the palace one after another.
Some people have villas nearby. In order to live comfortably, they usually stay in their own villas.
Next to the palace, there are small courtyards, basically five or six row houses, and one or two female dependents can be accommodated in each courtyard.
The living conditions for men, especially the younger ones in the family, are worse. They basically live in camps, and some even have to squeeze into Datongbu.
However, it was a rare opportunity for young people to live together. They were all so excited that they were in a state of excitement all night long and never rested.
The Lin family was led by the Yuan family. The four sisters of the Lin family, plus sisters Fang Qunqun, were quite a few people. According to the rank of the Lin family, so many people should not be able to come, but Lin has the ability. Moreover, the Lin family
The assigned courtyard is tidy and relatively close to the palace.
Xiyu and Yuan's maid arrived a few days ago, bringing the bedding and supplies for the women at home, and have already packed the house.
The space was really limited. According to the plan, Lin Zhixiu should share a room with Lin Zhirong, but neither of them was willing. Lin Zhirong even left her luggage directly at the Huang family. In the end, Lin Zhixiu lived in a room by herself, but
She was so happy. Before long, Liu Jing expressed that she wanted to live in the same room with her...
The carriage Lin Zhixiu rode was prepared by An Ning. It was not luxurious, but it was much more spacious and comfortable than the one given to her by the Lin family.
Mrs. Yuan saw it and curled her lips.
As expected, Liu Jing and the Fang sisters crowded into Lin Zhixiu's car.
We had to stay one night on the road. The next day, it was already afternoon, and we saw a large palace in the distance. We all took a breather. This journey was really tiring.
Xiyu had been waiting in front of the palace for a long time, picked up Lin Zhixiu and his party, and returned to the Lin family's courtyard.
Along the way, I was talking to Lin Zhixiu, "The first few days here were so chaotic. I didn't know where to get anything. There was no water or food. Fortunately, the slave brought food, otherwise I would have been really hungry."
I'm pregnant! I'm not allowed to go to many places. It's said that... Empress Dowager De is here. It's dark at night... and people often turn around. Girl, there is really no order here. Humph, I have to ask you to do it.
As for that, we, the servants, got organized later and things were sorted out slowly. But here, there is no way to compare with home, we can only make do. We can only wash our faces and feet every day.
, If you ride a horse during the day, it will be boring to come back! There is nothing you can do about it, girl, you really have a far-sighted view, among the people around here, we have the most complete things!"
Lin Zhixiu said with a smile, "Some people haven't sent people here in advance. If they all arrive at once, there will definitely be chaos. So! Let's bring some food."
After entering the hospital, she found that it was clean, there was no smell in the room, and the bedside floor was also very tidy. Lin Zhixiu looked around and expressed that she was very satisfied.
Yuan also walked around and saw that everything was well arranged. "Okay, I'm tired from the journey. Don't run around today. Let's take a shower and rest. Before coming, I've told you everything you need to say. You can weigh it yourself."
Just open your eyes and don’t get into trouble!”
After saying that, she went back to her house.
Xiyu smiled and said, "My servant even brought firewood to boil hot water! There is a big vat full of water! I don't want to join in the fun with them!"
Several people entered the house and put down their things, only to find that now they had hot water to wash their faces and drink hot tea, which was considered a fairy life.
Not long after, when it was time to get the rice, several girls led by Xi Yu went to get it. When they came back, they found only some steamed buns, pickles, and boiled pork that were half lukewarm.
White oil.
Several people grinned, unable to swallow. Lin Zhixiu said, "If you want to eat it, just heat it up yourself. If you don't want to eat it, forget it. I guess the food will not be good in the next few days!"
Several people said that there was no need to bother, and they simply ate a little and washed up. As expected, Liu Jing did not intend to go back to Liu's house, but huddled together with Lin Zhixiu.
I originally thought that we should chat all night long, but after a while, everyone became listless and fell asleep.
In front of the Autumn Hunting Palace, there is a very large square. After entering the archway gate, the first group of palaces is where the emperor entertains ministers. The surrounding courtyards are the residences of the emperor, princes and princes. Outside the courtyard walls are the residences of important ministers.
The third level of the palace group is where the harem empress entertains the ladies. Surrounding it are the residences of the empress and princesses. Outside the courtyard wall are the residences of the daughters of important families. The second level of palace group in the middle also has a square with a high platform.
, ceremonies, singing, dancing, banquets, etc. are all held here. The middle corridor leads to the hunting place.
Early the next morning, several girls woke up early and started dressing up.
When several girls gathered in one room, it was like a scene.
Lin Zhixiu said, "Xiyu said that the emperor hasn't come yet, so it's just right that we can get familiar with the environment today. Now that we've figured it out, we can also go to the outside to see the scenery."
Xiyu said, "There are many tents set up in the second hall with all kinds of stuff inside. Girls can also sit in the second hall and chat."
They were busy in the house, and from time to time they heard footsteps and laughter coming from the door, then slowly disappeared, and then came again after a while.
Everyone's interest was suddenly aroused.
Today, everyone is not wearing riding clothes, but the clothes prepared are all easy to move, warm and wear-resistant. Thick-soled semi-high-waisted boots. The outer skirt is fat, and the wide-leg pants inside should be tied at the ankles and tucked into the boots.
The inside and wrists should also be tied up, and then the cloak should be put on so that the whole person is covered tightly and there will be no problems.
After packing up, I went to tell Ms. Yuan that she was exhausted from the journey and was still in bed! Hearing that they wanted to go out, she snorted in the room, "Fifth younger brother and sister, you have to watch them carefully and don't rush into each other."
My dear, get dressed and don’t make any mistakes that will embarrass your family!"
Fang Qunqun curled her lips and agreed.
When a group of people went out, they saw that not all roads were paved with stones, some were dirt roads, and there were some bumps. The shoes of the girl in front were inconvenient, and they would get wet from time to time when walking, and they even almost fell off.
And their group is the most appropriate.
Fang Qunqun couldn't help but praise Lin Zhixiu, "Girl Xiu, you are really good! If I were an aunt, I would never have thought of this. Now it's better. It's okay to run, and it's okay even if it's windy or raining!"
Lin Zhixiu looked at Fang Qunqun and said, humph, she doesn't look like a prince when she wears a dragon robe, she still looks like a troublemaker. Fortunately, the cloak given to her is fat enough, so it's always a good idea to cover her up a little.
When we reached the fork in front of the road, there were no signs. There were several women standing at the intersection, not knowing where to go.
Xiyu said, "Girl, turn right to reach the second hall!"
Lin Zhixiu: "Well, let's go there first and have a look!"
Several other girls greeted Lin Zhixiu and the others and said, "Some of you are familiar with each other, so let's go with you! At the previous intersection, we walked around for a long time."
Everyone was talking and laughing, walking around in the alley, and then suddenly their eyes opened and they were at the Erdian Square.
There were a lot of people in the square, singing and dancing were being rehearsed, and there were people carrying things, which seemed a bit disorganized.
Lin Zhixiu looked at it. Although she had never hosted such a big event, she could still see a lot of loopholes in it.
He said to Liu Jing, "Look, earlier, we should give each house a booklet with a map drawn in it and the names of the alleys. Let's talk about the arrangements for the next few days. Give the girls and women a reminder.
For example, what places are inconvenient to go to, etc., activities to be held, food, water, locker rooms, etc."
Liu Jing said, "Oh, there are so many people. If I come to take care of them, they will be dead."
Lin Zhixiu said, "Here, don't talk about life and death or violate taboos. In these two days, we will try to only go outside to play. From now on, every word and action you speak and do must be slower and speak in a lower voice."
When I'm with the princess and the noble lady, I don't know what I said to cause trouble for myself and my family."
Liu Jing has been much more honest since the last time she had an issue with Princess Qing's family. She didn't refute what Lin Zhixiu said.
Then I saw Princess He Qing and his party. There were many people around, talking enthusiastically, and they were walking towards the second hall. Lin Zhirong was also among them. When she saw Lin Zhixiu and the others coming, she turned her face to the side and pretended not to notice.
arrive.
That group of people wore more formal clothes and their jewelry was simple, but carefully selected.
In comparison, Lin Zhixiu and his team were dressed more like they were here for fun.
As we approached the main hall, the wind was stronger, causing the clothes of a group of girls to fly, which was very beautiful. However, everyone was afraid of revealing anything, so the little girls around them hurriedly helped with the caressing, which made them a little confused.
Lin Zhixiu and the others walked over openly. Lin Zhirong had not seen the clothes prepared by Lin Zhixiu before. Although their clothes were not gorgeous, they seemed more suitable for such a place. He secretly hated her for playing tricks.
You can now enter the second hall, but the ladies' seats are three steps up and are blocked by objects. There are long stools in other places where you can sit and chat.
Entering the main hall, there were already several waves of people inside. When passing by a few girls, there was a voice that sounded familiar to Lin Zhixiu. When he looked over it, he was stunned...Wu Jingxiang?
