0387 The door is too arrogant, Shangguan listens to music
Recently, the families of all officials moved into Shenduyuan one after another. The arrangements for the courtyard house were mainly the female officials under the ban.
In the side hall of Longlin Palace, Shangguan Wan'er sorted out the list of entry into the garden and placed it on the desk of Yu Zhengdi.
"Shangguan should do things in an orderly manner and elegant manner. If he should not be in charge, he would be afraid that he would not be able to finish his work before the festival."
Mrs. Nadi took the document handed over by Shangguan Wan'er, and after a brief look, she smiled at Shangguan Wan'er.
The scale of female officials in the ban became larger and larger, and the division of labor gradually became clear. A considerable number of female officials were just a rough article and could barely handle simple documentary affairs.
Such as Shangguan Wan'er, who has profound learning and talent, naturally gained more and more trust from His Majesty the Holy Emperor, and was able to participate in the secrets and even promulgated imperial edicts, of course, he would not be appointed to such messengers. Therefore, this time Shangguan Wan'er came to Shenduyuan, and took the initiative to ask for help, which made Yu Zhengyi, who was in charge of this matter feel relaxed.
Shangguan Wan'er chatted with Nadi in the table for a while. When she learned that there was no other case at the moment, she took her leave first.
Before His Majesty the Holy Emperor arrived, the female officials temporarily lived in the pavilion on the right side of the palace. Shangguan Wan'er walked out of the side hall, but she couldn't help but walk to the right. When she noticed that the number of soldiers outside the corridor increased, she found that she could not help but come to the Zhemei Hall where the two generals of the yamen were located.
Seeing the surprised look of the maid accompanying the palace, Shangguan Wan'er smiled slightly and sighed: "Miss Wei's residence has an accident, and she has made her old friends in the palace worry about her. She has been reluctant to come. I'm really curious."
While talking, she stopped in the corridor outside the hall for a while, but did not find the figure of His Royal Highness, so she returned to her residence in the palace with some regret.
After returning to the residence, Shangguan Wan'er asked the palace servants to take high buns, hairpins, etc., and changed into a simple robe skirt, and changed into a palace skirt with a bright red base and colorful brocade watch. After careful decoration, it is no longer as elegant and elegant as before, but it has a bold and beautiful appearance.
Seeing Shangguan Wan'er's unusual outfit, a palace man couldn't help but say, "Why should I welcome the solemn guests?"
"It has nothing to do with solemnity. What you want to see is not a confidant. Luo Wan helps the battle better than words."
While talking, she stood up and let the sidelines watch and guided them. After decorating the details, she slowly walked out of the residence and took five or six palace maids with her entourage to the Sixteenth Courtyard where all the officials and their relatives were placed.
The Sixteenth Courtyard was placed along the Longlin Canal, with water in front of the door and flowers and trees making bars. In this late spring when flowers are gorgeous, the scenery is beautiful. Shangguan Wan'er helped to arrange the families of officials, and naturally silently recorded the locations of each family in her heart. Without careful guidance, she soon found the family of Zheng Gao, the Minister of Heaven.
Zheng Gao was appointed as the candidate for office, and was among the top among the men of Southern Province. His family was named Henan, so the courtyard house assigned to this family was quite spacious.
Shangguan Wan'er walked to the door and asked the palace maids to report it first. Soon after, more than a dozen women came out of the room, one of which was Zheng Gao's wife. Mrs. Zheng was in her forties and was graceful. When she saw Shangguan Wan'er standing outside the door, she looked suspicious and asked her family, "I don't know what Shangguan is going to ask?"
"I am ordered by the emperor to take charge of the inner courtyard affairs of Shangsi, and I will forgive you for visiting and disturbing things."
Shangguan Wan'er entered before, first greeting him, and then said.
Hearing this, Mrs. Zheng asked her family to invite Shangguan Wan'er to the hospital, return to the hall and sit down.
Shangguan Wan'er sat in the hall and saw Zheng Gao's wife and several older women sitting upright in the table. There were maids passing through the table, with the decorations suitable for guests, with comprehensive etiquette and complex rules, even surpassing the palace. It was precisely because of the rules and solemnity of such a large family that Shangguan Wan'er made careful decorations before visiting.
There were also several young women from the Zheng family in the table, and they were all gentle and solemn. Many people showed envy and concentration towards Shangguan Wan'er's exquisite skirt, but they only glanced at him from the bottom of their eyes. Although they had tried their best to hide the details of the emotions between their eyebrows and eyes, how could they hide the details of the emotions between their eyebrows and eyes than Shangguan Wan'er?
Because of excessive emphasis on etiquette and lack of common topics between each other's identities, the atmosphere in the hall was a bit dull. After a few greetings, Shangguan Wan'er expressed the true purpose of this visit: "I am lucky to be the same as your residence..."
She came to see the Zheng family because of her mother's diligent advice. In the past year, her family suffered a great disaster and her mother, Zheng family, was also implicated. After that, the mother and daughter were not in the palace, and lived trembling every day, and completely cut off contact with the outside world.
In recent years, she has become more and more favored by His Majesty the Holy Emperor in the forbidden period, and her situation is becoming more and more calm. Her mother is getting older and missing her relatives more and more. But as a female official in the forbidden period, she has no chance to frequently contact the outer court. She has not been able to wait until the Shangsi Festival celebrations of Shenduyuan and the families of all officials entered the garden, so she has such an opportunity.
Shangguan Wan'er was in her infancy when she entered the palace and had no impression or feelings for her old relatives, but she couldn't bear to see her mother crying and sad because she missed her relatives all day, so she came forward to inquire about her relatives' situation.
In fact, although her mother was also from the Zheng family in Xingyang, she was the southern ancestral house of the Zheng family and was much distant from the Donglin house of the Zheng Gao family in the northern ancestral house. However, there are not many people in the Zheng family in Xingyang now, and even the Zheng Gao family was unable to participate in the Shenduyuan last year.
Shangguan Wan'er didn't know much about other old friendships in the family, and the targets that could be found were very limited, so she came to Zheng Gao's family.
When Mrs. Zheng heard Shangguan Wan'er express her feelings, she looked confused and had no impression. She just agreed to help me find out later, but she didn't even talk about how to convey the message afterwards, and obviously she was just perfunctory.
Shangguan Wan'er was not used to asking for help, but in order for her mother to get some comfort, she still begs Mrs. Zheng to ask someone to pass it on the day of Wangshuo when the female official's relatives came to visit her.
She was sensitive and did not dare to make a promise lightly. She just gave her a gift that was not illegal, including some palace-like jewelry, spices, etc. Although there were not many, she was carefully prepared.
Zheng's Qunshu was quite moved by this gift. After all, Shangguan Wan'er, who was bright and charming in front of her, is a living model, a girl with a beautiful age, not to mention that she had long been given a reminder from her parents when she entered the palace. It has a deeper purpose.
Seeing this gift, Mrs. Zheng's expression improved slightly. She was about to wait for a few more words to deal with, suddenly a woman hurried into the hall, disobeying the solemn atmosphere in the hall.
The man held his ear to Mrs. Zheng's whisper, and the grace and indifference on Mrs. Zheng's face was no longer there. He stood up from the table, with a little anxious face, and said to Shangguan Wan'er: "Menyi people enter the garden and need to welcome him. They cannot wait for the guests for a long time. Please forgive me if you are responsible."
After hearing this, Shangguan Wan'er quickly got up and wanted to give her a few more words, but Mrs. Zheng had no time to take care of her, but instead ordered the girls in the table to return to the house to make some decorations and follow her to greet her.
The Zheng family became busy with themselves, and Shangguan Wan'er could only withdraw with embarrassment. Before she could fully leave the Zheng family house, she saw Mrs. Zheng leading several girls to travel in a hurry, without any previous graceful and slow manner.
"Reported to the Shangguan Yingzheng, he was the Concubine Yong, and the Concubine Yong and the Prince Tang entered the garden."
When Shangguan Wan'er walked out of this courtyard, a palace maid came to report in detail.
Shangguan Wan'er's beautiful eyes flashed after hearing this, then she looked down at her outfit, a hint of self-deprecation flashed across her face, and murmured, "What is it..."
The two princes' female family entered the garden and soon spread throughout Shendu Garden. They rushed to the only one who greeted each other. The Yingying and Yanyan, the colorful silk embroidered skirts actually formed a brightly colored stream along the dragon scale channel in the garden.
Shangguan Wan'er was in a bad mood at this time and was unwilling to join the fun. She turned around and carefully identified the path. She walked diagonally along the courtyard where the Zheng family lived, preparing to walk through a flowerbed to the palace road.
There is a stream circling around the side and rear of the Zheng family's courtyard. The courtyard wall collapsed in a corner after all year round, but because it is located in a remote location, it does not affect the overall beauty of the courtyard.
A stone pavilion is located in the courtyard wall. On one side, it is covered with moss and on the other side, the pavilion pillars are also surrounded by wantonly vines. Although the palace people have carefully taken care of the courtyard, this remote place is still left behind. Although it is also green and lush, it seems a bit messy.
When Shangguan Wan'er passed by here, a smooth piano sound suddenly flowed out from the Xuan Pavilion in the courtyard. The piano sound was the "Midnight Song" newly compiled by the King of Dai when he was envoy of Yunshao Mansion. It has a kind of soft and graceful and sadness of Wu songs.
Shangguan Wan'er was in such a state of mind that when she heard this sad song where she was lonely, she was a little confused before she knew it. She simply stepped across the gap in the low wall and walked into the pavilion, listening silently, and at the same time she felt a little curious.
The King of Dai was talented and had many expanded musical lyrics. "Midnight Song" was not good. It was also a Qing Shang string music that was not in line with the aesthetics of the times, and even the banned Central Opera was not performed many times. However, this piano music sounded graceful and smooth, especially the details were very changeable, which made the main music reach a meaning beyond the music book itself.
Shangguan Wan'er herself likes the restrained artistic conception of "Midnight Song" that is sad but not hurt, and is touching but not expressing. She even specially asked for music books from Yunshao Mansion to make fun of it. However, she does not have the fun of string music and is busy with work, so she really can't help but learn the music of the first song, let alone sublimate the artistic conception.
At this moment, I heard that someone could repair her little regret and did it better than she thought, and she felt a sense of joy and relief. Therefore, a little change in her mood made her feel more perfect and brisk.
