Extra: Entering the Palace (2)

After finally getting through, I saw a neatly packed carriage with green curtains waiting there. Two eunuchs, an old man and a young man, walked up with smiling faces.

"I think they are the three female relatives of Guo Luoluo's family. The servants are the noble stewards in the Queen Mother's palace and are here to greet them."

Sanguan Baojia was nothing more than a servant and a servant. Hearing that the steward was so humble, he quickly returned the courtesy.

Dopku hurriedly grabbed it, already holding a purse in his hand, and packed it heavily with ten taels of silver. He was afraid that it was too thin, so he handed it to the eunuch Degui without seeing it. He said hurriedly:

"Sorry for the heavy snow, please take care of me."

Degui pinched it. Although it was not very fat, it was not light either. The smile on his face did not diminish.

"The rules in the palace are to meet the right person first. This must be the wife. Which one is the eldest lady?"

It turned out that when the edict was delivered, a palace steward took down the physical characteristics of the three people. After hearing this, Ji Lan walked up to him and said hello. The noble man couldn't help but be surprised when he saw that this family was not high-profile, and his daughter

She was so outstanding. I expected that the other one was the second young lady. After a closer look, she was actually more beautiful, not to mention that she was just the right age and was more graceful than her sister. Wu Yashi hurriedly pushed her little daughter forward, and Yao Luo was also generous and imitated.

I said hello like a sister.

I have also been on duty in the Degui Palace for many years. When I saw the two girls like flowers, I understood something in my heart. I didn't dare to be rude and quickly invited them into the car. My husband had to be sent here. The young men got out together with the handlebars. They arrived.

I'll pick you up again in due time.

When they arrived at the Forbidden Palace, the three mothers couldn't help but feel a little scared. But Yao Luo was young after all, so he had the courage to lift a corner of the window curtains, and his eyes were filled with splendor and splendor. There were many eunuchs and servants on the road, sweeping the snow with bamboo brooms.

When he wanted to take a closer look, Ji Lan stretched out his hand to cover the window curtains. Yao Luo saw his mother staring at him fiercely again. He quickly sat upright, stuck out his tongue, and did not dare to look again.

Not long after arriving at the Queen Mother's Palace, the carriage missed the door and entered. There were other maids helping three people get out of the car. Wu Ya also had a lot of purses tucked into her sleeves, and she quickly handed them over, but the maids avoided them without leaving any trace.

Wu Yashi only said that she had put away too little money and felt regretful about it, but she didn't know that this was a deep palace with strict rules and no one dared to accept it.

The mother and daughter were led by the palace maid to three small houses at the back of the side hall.

At this time, the snow had stopped, and the Forbidden City had its own unique charm, but no one in the family dared to raise their head, for fear of making a mistake and making people laugh. After a while, when they arrived in front of the door, the little girl opened the curtain and led the way, saying "please".

Withdrew.

Wu Yashi composed herself and boldly crossed the threshold, followed closely by her two daughters.

As soon as you enter the room, you feel like you are in a different world. Not to mention the warm and fragrant smell, the floor is also covered with thick felt, which makes people feel refreshed. There is an old woman on the kang wearing a round leather jacket.

, waved with a smile and said:

"It's so cold that it's hard for you to come here. Hurry up and get warm on the kang."

Wu Yashi guessed that this was her great-aunt, and quickly asked her daughters to kneel down to say hello. Aunt Guo got off the kang to stop.

"Why do you have such false feelings for your own family? It's rare for us ladies to see each other, just talk and laugh."

Only then did Wu Ya dare to look up. In fact, when she entered the house as a child, her great-aunt had already entered the palace, and they did not recognize each other. However, her father-in-law only passed away two years before they got together every day. The aunt in front of her had quite distinctive features.

The similarity made Wu Ya remember her father-in-law's kindness in the past, which touched her heart and brought tears to her eyes.

"When my father-in-law went there, he always said that he was my aunt and that he was my aunt, and he was always thinking about you. It's a pity that the rules of the heavenly family can accommodate us meeting each other. If my father-in-law were still here, I don't know how happy I would be today."

Aunt Guo entered the palace as a concubine's daughter at the age of fifteen. Now she has been a junior for forty years. She has experienced many changes in human relationships and the changes in the world. She has also encountered several big opportunities. She has become very bearish on the seven emotions and six desires.

Therefore, she has been unwilling to leave the palace to be raised in honor. The Queen Mother strongly insisted that she did not ask for this favor. She thought that it would be just a few polite words to save the master's face. Unexpectedly, Wu Yashi mentioned her brother.

, I couldn't help myself, and my eyes became wet.

"I didn't expect that my brother is still thinking about me."

"My aunt rewards you with gifts and messages every year, and the family's situation has really improved a lot. My father-in-law always asks the younger members of the family to kowtow to you from a distance every New Year's Eve or my aunt's birthday."

Aunt Guo had seen two girls who were as green as green onions following behind her. She thought they were her nieces and nephews. She quickly called over and saw that the children's eyes were also red, so she couldn't help but console them:

"I'm fine. It's nothing. If you come to see me, it will be even better. Stop crying and let me take a good look at you."

Wu Yashi said quickly:

"The taller one is Ji Lan. When she was twenty-two and sixteen this year, she was married to a child from Xilin Jueluo's family. She was a worthy person. But three years ago, my uncle had smallpox and he had no choice but to give up the child.

She is in decline. Your nephew will take her back this time and marry her again. The younger one is Yao Luo, seventeen, who is always naughty. These are the only two girls in our family."

When Aunt Guo heard that Ji Lan was widowed, she felt extremely sorry for her. She held her hand and said:

"Good boy, there is nothing we can do about it. Let your parents find a better one."

Aunt Guo took off a gold bracelet from her hand and put it on Ji Lan's hand.

"I've been carrying this for many years, so I'll give it to you. Don't think it's too simple."

Jilan didn't dare to ask for it, but after hearing her aunt's words so politely, she had no choice but to look at her mother, and when Wu Yashi nodded, she bowed and accepted it. Jilan pulled her sister's clothes and asked her to come forward to say hello. Yao Luo then walked up.

The clever man in front bent his knees and said:

"Hello, great-aunt. I am the naughty one Enie said."

Although her words were just a little girl's quarrel, they were also cute and cute. They made the whole room full of love. Not only did everyone smile, but they inadvertently dispersed a lot of the previous miserable wind and rain. Aunt Guo is a person who has lived in the deep palace for a long time.

, who follows the rules all day long, also likes seeing this lively junior, and is busy looking at her carefully.

I saw that the little girl was wearing a light yellow silk jacket, a white silk horse-faced skirt, and a silver mouse jacket like her elder sister. She also added a piece of rabbit fur armor, which made her cheeks rosy and her smile was like a flower. She was more dignified and generous than her elder sister.

He has a lively look that makes people forget their worries. Even if Grandma Guo has seen many good things in the palace, she can't help but secretly cheer.

"As expected, these two pieces of clothing are brightly worn by young girls. I got them that day and gave them to you. The two girls are so neatly dressed, and my nephew-in-law has paid great attention to them." After that, he also gave them a jade bracelet.

The four girls then sat down to talk. When Wu Ya saw a pot of warm tea on the table, she poured it out and served it to her aunt first. The two girls took off their woolen clothes and did not dare to get on the kang, so they sat on the edge of the kang.
