174. Emotional
Song Zhimei followed Chen Xiangning, originally wanted to talk to her in private, the two hadn't seen each other for more than half a year, and the letters were written after a long time, wanting to take advantage of the situation to stay in Jinling, even she understood that Chen Xiangning was afraid that she would not stretch out this hand lightly.
She intends to complain to Chen Xiangning about her grievances, if she is afraid of two tears, and then say something that she does not want to leave Beijing, as long as she reveals that she is being bullied at home, Chen Xiangning will not reach out, and she can always say two good words for her, if she begs her, maybe she can really help her.
But when she saw her, Song Zhimei changed her mind and didn't dare to hold it up anymore. The girl of the Chen family has a good temperament, the two met at the Chongyang banquet of the Ji family, and became familiar, also because she showed some bitterness, the girl of the Chen family sighed a lot for her, and the two became friends, knowing that she was inconvenient in many things, and was willing to take care of it for her, and wrote a post to invite her to come over.
But this time goodbye, Song Zhimei understood as soon as she saw her face, the original set did not work in Chen Xiangning today, she had never seen what a serious housewife looked like, although Gan was a wife, but she had not been in charge of general affairs for many years, Ye's eldest aunt was holding a shelf, like an ice and snow man, she had never melted when she froze, and she had never been close to the two concubines in her house, not to mention her "niece" who was separated from the room.
Song Zhimei is still old, and in these few exchanges outside, she saw what a serious housewife looks like. Mrs. Ji and Mrs. Wu Family, although their temperaments are different, they are all discerning people, and when they glance at them, they know that they can't get ghosts in front of them.
Not to mention that she also touched Mrs. Zhao San's nose with ashes, and almost broke her bones, and since then she has become more and more jealous, and she can't be small in front of such a person.
Chen Xiangning was dressed in a parrot green dress, with a simple golden step on his head, and the beads on his head were pink and shiny, Song Zhimei had only seen it at Mrs. Song, and even Ye had never worn it, although Chen Xiangning was not married, he was already a royal person, and he could dress up according to the system.
Song Zhimei saw at a glance from Chen Xiangning some of the temperament that made her ashamed of herself, this bearing was something she had understood since she was a child, back to when her mother got along with her eldest aunt, she was clearly sitting in the same room, but she was a completely different person.
This time, she can't help but fight, if she is sent back, her life will be over, will she see her two younger sisters in the future, and she will have to meet them? Sitting on the stool in the stone pavilion, clearly cushioning the mattress, but it is still like sitting on pins and needles, the better Chen Xiangning is, the more it seems that there is a needle piercing her behind her, making her sit still.
She knew that Chen Xiangning was her last straw, she couldn't grasp this one, what was waiting for her was a disaster, she packed up her mind, said nothing in front of people, waited for the opportunity, and begged her when the two of them were alone.
Song Zhimei begged, and hurried up, but before the conversation could be provoked, Chen Xiangning intercepted her first: "There are so many people, I can't take care of my sister, don't bother me, sister." ”
Song Zhimei is older than her, the two have always been sisters, and they can't make an order to be concubines, so they change their faces, Chen Xiangning saw that something was wrong between her eyebrows, the Song family's account, everyone in Jinling City knew it, and even juniors like Chen Xiangning had heard a lot in the past few months.
In addition to Mama Sang, there is a grandmother around her whose homework is to gossip, and she picks famous people in Beijing to tell Chen Xiangning, how old is she, how many people can she meet, but she only went out to socialize with her aunt last year, but the grandmothers made everyone clear.
"These are all used by the mother, after the mother's wedding, you must follow the queen to bow down with the order, which old lady's family is how, the mother has to be able to speak, and the queen has to talk to the queen. Mama said it, and she remembered it with her heart, and what she didn't know before, she knew everything these days.
Qinqi, calligraphy and painting have been taught at home, and the master has also come to the palace, and they are only clicked once: "These are small paths, which are used to increase fun, but they are not the most commonly used by the mother. ”
This is also the meaning of the queen's mother, the crown princess and concubine, not only the East Palace affairs, but also the harem affairs have to be taken care of, Chen Xiangning listened to the words of these grandmothers very much, and the more she listened, the more she understood that she knew too little about human affairs and the world, and she couldn't wait to have one more brain and engrave all these in her heart.
After listening to it a lot, she also has an idea, Song Zhimei is naturally pitiful, her identity is embarrassing, and she is not as good as having a child, but the root is not on her, and there is no better way to go in front of her except to act honestly.
Hearing her open at this time, she immediately knew what to say, and quickly stopped, she didn't come out to change clothes, but the uncle sent a letter outside, saying that the prince had come over.
Determined his own family affairs, the prince often comes over, there is an infatuated King Rui in front of him, seeing Tian'er's running to Ji's house, and the prince going to the Chen family, it is not so conspicuous.
But Chen Xiangning has never spoken to him, there are things to give to each other, the size of the prince's clothes and shoes, she closes her eyes and has energy out, but she has not said a word to her future husband.
Chen Xiangning slowly recalled, the prince is indeed considerate, her own many uncles and brothers, like the prince, she also saw it for the first time, the things he sent were all ingenious, not all expensive and cheap, or a small seal, or a silk fan, or a small basket made of beads, or a kite and a walnut boat.
There has never been a duplicate of the same, the multi-treasure grid in the room is full, and the newly added ornaments and seat screens have been replaced by these interesting gadgets, and the grandmothers told her with a smile: "This is His Royal Highness the Prince's kindness to the girl." ”
Chen Xiangning's ears were red when he thought about it, and he was looking forward to giving birth to a son for him as soon as he got married, and he didn't live up to his wishes.
The heart of the daughter's family is nothing more than marrying a lover, not to mention that the prince is still a perfect person, Chen Xiangning has long wanted to meet him, even if he doesn't speak, it's good to take a face-to-face look.
This time, the aunt specially sent someone to inform her, her heart was beating, but her face was not revealing at all, and the confidant Sang Mama took her to the back and found a reason for her, who knew that Song Zhimei would follow.
At this time, it was not the time to listen to her complain for help, Chen Xiangning was struggling to get out, and Mama Sang smiled and pulled Song Zhimei: "Miss Song, you stand still." ”
She got out and hurried forward, but when she arrived at the place, she couldn't see anyone, and only after asking did she know that she was stubble, and she was anxious, and then turned back, and then met the prince on the porch.
Chen Xiangning's heart was beating like a drum, and she didn't know if it was in line with the etiquette, but the girls around her were silent, and she was about to hang her head and let go of the side, and the prince stood in front of her.
When Chen Xiangning came back, she still felt that she was stepping on the clouds, and the prince asked her if it was hard to learn the rules, and before she could answer, he comforted her: "Although it is hard, it will not be blind when you enter the door." ”
She couldn't say a word, and the future husband asked her carefully whether the food she sent was suitable, whether she liked the clothes and materials, whether the grandmothers were stern or not, and he could do it if she sued him.
Even after suffering hardships, at this moment, it is like drinking honey, Chen Xiangning finally opened his mouth, and asked in a trembling voice: "I don't know, the shoes made for His Highness do not fit." ”
The prince smiled softly, ignoring the presence of these girls, and gently lifted the corners of his robe: "Do you take a look at your own house, does it fit?" The Chen family planted wisteria flowers all over the place, and it was the flowering period at this time, the wind rolled up, and the purple piled up on the ground, and the corners of his clothes blew up, revealing the shoes inside, and there were petals like broken jade of wisteria flowers at his feet.
Chen Xiangning's face was red, when the girl helped her back, she tilted her head slightly, and saw that the prince was still standing under the corridor to see her, this love was sincere and hot, written into the poem locked in the heart, painted into the picture engraved in the mind, until she walked far, she dared to reach out and touch her cheeks, which was as transparent as a late cherry blossom.
In the end, she has been taught these days, knowing that she has just disobeyed the rules, and the palace people have turned a blind eye, but she can't show herself in front of those girls, she sat down next to the railing, and finally collected her thoughts, and returned to the place to see Song Zhimei waiting for her unwillingly, and there was some guilt in her heart, but she couldn't help in this matter.
After the banquet, I had to go back to listen to Mama talk about those personal feelings, Mama Sang kept vigil for her at night, looking at her as if she was a little girl, her eyes were misty and shining, and her cheeks seemed to pick up red clouds, as if she knew, she tucked the quilt for her, and said with a smile: "Niangniang's good days are still ahead." ”
Chen Xiangning bit the corner of the quilt, only felt that her heart was about to jump out of her throat, she covered her face with her hand, she couldn't sleep well after tossing and turning, Mama Sang got up and lit a soothing incense for her, and then she slowly calmed down and fell asleep.
Song Zhimei, who didn't sleep well, didn't know that there would be such a way, it turned out to be a life-saving straw, but a pine branch stretched out in front of her, she didn't speak on the seat, and she didn't speak on the way back.
When she said goodbye to the Chen family, Chunyan glanced at Shi Gui, Shi Gui thought all the way, and went back to tell Chunyan: "When Miss Chen was changing clothes, the eldest girl followed, as if she wanted to say something, Sister Bai Lu asked me to get the sachet, and when I caught up again, I didn't find the eldest girl." ”
Shi Gui was telling the truth, only hiding the prince and not mentioning it, Song Zhimei did follow, and there were only two Bai Lu crystals by her side, and she naturally didn't know what else was going on in the section she left.
Chunyan frowned, but she didn't reprimand Shi Gui, she had private things to say, and she could instruct Shi Gui to leave by thinking of ways at will, adding tea and water and taking champas, it was all an errand, and nodded at her and said, "I know, I don't expect anything to happen, you just rest." ”
Shi Gui's heart was not relieved, and he had to deal with Danzhu when he returned to the house, and Danzhu asked the Chen family girl repeatedly, where did Shi Gui have the heart to answer her, and sighed and said: "Don't mention it, where do I still remember how the Chen family is, Sister Chunyan asked me to look at the eldest girl, and I lost it." ”
Dan Zhucai also pouted dissatisfied, and when he heard her say this, he was "frightened", and sat down next to her: "But is it a trouble?" Shi Gui shook his head: "I lost it, how do I know, I can't wait to ask the Bodhisattva for protection." ”
Danzhu comforted her and said: "Since I came back safely, it's okay, it's not easy to do errands with that one, and the loss is not handed over to me, Amitabha." ”
Shi Gui also recited the Buddha, but he thought in his heart that the prince would be over if he only asked when he met? Then why is there no one in the small garden, and Song Zhimei is still in that mood when he comes back, how strange is he thinking.
Everyone thought that this matter was over, even Chunyan didn't pursue it anymore, and the old lady Song's illness slowly got better, and in June, the palace was drying books on this day, and the old lady Song had entered the palace, but he said that he was not in good health and came back halfway, and went to Yongshan Hall as soon as he entered the door, and asked: "On that day the Chen family flower banquet, which one did the prince see in the family?"
