Chapter 53: Meeting
Even Huang Yiqiu's biological parents were stopped by Huang Jincheng and did not allow them to have the opportunity to meet and talk to their daughter, and the two mothers-in-law of Xiao Huang's aunt who were "sent" to visit their nieces naturally could not see the deity so smoothly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Huang Jincheng didn't even see them, he just asked his soldiers to ask a few words, and then sent them away.
This is the back office of the government, and Huang Jincheng is the military attache of the fourth grade, and the two mothers-in-law didn't dare to say anything, and came out in disgrace. After getting into the carriage, one of the younger mothers-in-law asked another companion who was old and had slightly gray hair: "Old sister, what do you say about this? The old lady sent us to see the cousin of the Huang family, but judging by Lord Huang's posture, it seems that they don't plan to let us see it?" Although the second grandmother of the Qin family is a cousin and brother of Lord Huang, it seems that Lord Huang does not buy much of this cousin's account. ”
The gray-haired mother-in-law said calmly: "What's the hurry? The first time you come to the door, where is it so easy? After all, Lord Huang came out of a high-ranking family, and the rules are naturally stricter than the second grandmother of the Qin family's sect." Let's come back tomorrow. Come a few more times, and there will always be a time when he agrees. We are nominally sent by his cousin, and even if he has a bad relationship with his cousin, he can't hold on to someone's niece or let anyone from the family visit, right?"
When the younger mother-in-law heard this, she felt reasonable, and her heart settled down a little, and she began to worry again: "Then we are going back to the Xue family now? I'm afraid that if things are not done, the old lady will blame us." ”
The gray-haired mother-in-law said: "There is our Xue family's shop in the city, and we will stay overnight for a few days in the past, and it won't take much trouble." ”
Her companion hesitated a little: "Is this good? if Lord Huang finds out, will you suspect that we are not the people sent by the second grandmother of the Qin family?"
The former smiled slightly: "What's this? The Xue family, the Qin family and the Huang family are each other's in-laws, in the past, the second grandmother of the Qin family's sect entered the city, and it is not that she did not borrow our Xue family's place, you say that our Xue family is really for the sake of her surname Huang? Even if we live in the Xue family's land, it does not mean that we are not the mother-in-law of the Qin family." If Lord Huang wants to ask, we just have to tell him this. Besides, if you don't live in the Xue family's place, wouldn't it be very inconvenient to have something to send a message to the old lady?"
Her companion was persuaded, and her face was convinced: "The old sister really deserves to have waited beside the old lady, and her knowledge is extraordinary." On this errand, my sister relied on her sister for everything. If there is something my sister just asks, my sister will definitely do it!"
The gray-haired mother-in-law smiled with satisfaction: "There is no need to be like this, you and I are both working for the Xue family." As long as you can do a good job of the things that the lord and wife have explained, who will follow whom?"
The two mothers-in-law had a good calculation, but they didn't know that the news that they went to Xue's shop soon reached Huang Jincheng's ears. Huang Jincheng didn't think about asking them anything at all, and directly came to a conclusion: "Hmph, it's really sent by the Xue family!"
He thought to himself, the Xue family should not be worried, but after all, they are the in-laws of the Qin family, and they have some ability in the Jiangning realm, so they need to be careful to deal with it. It's just that I don't know what the Xue family sent these two mothers-in-law to see Huang Yiqiu for? His family was originally the maiden family of Huang Yiqiu's biological mother, Grandma Huang, if he was worried about his granddaughter and wanted to send someone to find Huang Yiqiu, he could come openly, and there was no need to use the banner of the little Huang family. There must be a reason for such sneaky behavior. He had to be cautious, don't let the Xue family see anything and bring trouble to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Thinking of this, he made up his mind.
The two mothers-in-law of the Xue family came again the next day, and this time it seemed that Huang Jincheng was in a good mood, and finally let them go to see Huang Yiqiu, but they only had a quarter of an hour to meet, and they had to meet under the watchful eye of the girl's mother-in-law.
These girls and mothers-in-law are all people who Huang Jincheng tried to buy, hire or borrow, although they are all familiar hands, but they are not strictly trained, and they can only be said to be passable. Compared with the girls that the Huang family is used to, it is naturally better. But in the eyes of the two mothers-in-law of the Xue family, they are very vulgar and useless.
However, Huang Yiqiu's appearance surprised them.
Huang Yiqiu is now dressed up, wearing a brocade jacket embroidered with gold thread and beads, with a white silk pin gold pleated skirt, a black hair combed into the most popular bun in Jinling, inserted a few gold hairpins, with pearl earrings, jade bracelets, and an indescribable wealth and gorgeousness.
Huang Yiqiu not only wears differently, but even her makeup has changed a lot. She put a thin layer of fat powder on her face, and her face became more and more like a full moon, with thin eyebrows and curved eyebrows, apricot eyes and peach cheeks, red lips, and then a flower between her eyebrows, and the whole person was like a fairy concubine. She smiled at the corner of her mouth, and was a little stiff in her actions and words, but her gestures were full of the style of a famous daughter, and she was a little more confident between her eyebrows, giving people a very different feeling than before.
The younger mother-in-law of the Xue family couldn't help but look a little dazed. She had seen this daughter from the Xue family's aunt and grandmother before, and she only felt that she looked good, and she was quite a little beautiful, but she still looked like a little family, where is the appearance of everyone's ladies now? Could it be that Lord Huang Jincheng is really so proficient in boudoir things, and can teach Huang Yiqiu to be what she is today in just a few days? Or are there hidden capable people among those few girls who don't look good?
She couldn't help but glance at her companion, only to see that the gray-haired mother-in-law frowned slightly, as if she was a little dissatisfied. She couldn't help but be shocked, and secretly touched her companion, who glanced at her and shook his head slightly.
What does this mean? Could it be...... Huang Yiqiu doesn't look like Queen Qin?!
Huang Yiqiu didn't recognize the older mother-in-law, but she had some impressions of the younger one, but she remembered that this was the mother-in-law of the Xue family, how did she become the person sent by her aunt Xiao Huang?
Although her appearance has changed, her heart has not grown much, and when she saw this abnormality, she just opened her mouth and asked, "Huh, didn't you say that you were sent by your aunt......?"
The younger woman hurriedly interrupted her: "Cousin, the second grandmother ordered us to come and see you." These days, you are staying with your uncle and uncle, and your family is not allowed to see each other, and they are all worried about you, and I don't know when you will be able to go home. ”
Huang Yiqiu smiled sweetly: "Auntie is also thinking too much, what can I do with my uncle? My mothers looked at my makeup, and my uncle bought it for me. Because I was in a hurry, I first asked the people from the embroidery building to bring the ready-to-wear clothes to try on for me, and a few more were being made. My uncle also invited a few grandmothers to teach me etiquette and help me comb my hair and makeup. You see, am I much better looking now than I used to be? My uncle also said that it would be good to ask a gentleman for me to teach me poetry, even if it was just to memorize a few more poems. In the future, when I go out to meet people, if I have a chapter, people will be able to look up to me. ”
Both mothers-in-law were silent. The gray-haired mother-in-law smiled slightly, and felt a little disdain for this girl in her heart.
Her companion continued to smile and said to Huang Yiqiu: "This is a good thing, the uncle of the in-laws is also thinking about the future of the cousin. It's just that the in-laws are very worried about the cousin, and the cousin should move back as soon as possible. Whether it's learning rules and etiquette, or reading with a husband, it's the same at home. She glanced around, "Although the uncle treats his cousin well, he is a man, and he has not brought his female dependents to office, and there is not even a decent girl in the back house, how can he serve his cousin well?
Huang Yiqiu was a little unimpressed. The maid and mother-in-law she used at home, that is, those two or three people, where could she be as close to Huang Jincheng's side, and a circle of maiden and mother-in-law would wait for her? This kind of noble treatment, she had only seen it in the past with a few rich daughters she knew, although she didn't care about it, she had long been envious in her heart, and now that she has the opportunity to experience this kind of life in person, where can she easily give it up?
However, she also wanted to meet and reunite with her family as soon as possible, so she said to the two mothers-in-law: "Mother, don't worry, please tell my aunt for me when I go back, and say that I am learning the rules from my uncle, and I will definitely go back when I finish learning." My uncle promised to find a good family for me. How could I easily annoy my uncle when it came to my future? Please grandfather, father, and mother not worry about me, just wait at home for good news. ”
The two mothers-in-law knew that Huang Yiqiu had already been persuaded by Huang Jincheng, and it was impossible to leave with them at all, and because the gray-haired mother-in-law had long lost interest in this girl at this time, they said a few words together, and then retired together.
Huang Yiqiu was a little surprised when he saw them leave in a hurry like this. A maid who had been waiting for her for the past few days muttered in a low voice: "Strange, didn't you say that Mrs. Gu sent them to see the girl? Why did Mrs. Gu leave after just a few words? Mrs. Gu didn't ask them to bring anything to the girl? Although we adults have everything here, but when the girl comes to stay for a few days, the family will always have letters, right? You can also bring some things that the girl is used to on weekdays, even if it is some personal silver." The girl must always have some pocket money in her hand, otherwise it will be too inconvenient to open up to the adults in everything. ”
Huang Yiqiu thought so deeply in her heart, and couldn't help but feel a little resentful of her aunt.
The two mothers-in-law of the Xue family didn't know that someone had given them eye medicine, so they only got into the carriage as usual after quitting the official office. The younger mother-in-law asked the gray-haired companion, "Old sister, what's wrong with you, why are you shaking your head?"
The latter sighed: "The words of the second grandmother of the Qin family are too unreliable, what do you say that the cousin girl is born very Xiao like the queen of Qin, and she can enter the palace to be favored by the emperor - the cousin girl does have a little bit like the queen of Qin between her eyebrows and eyes, but it is just two or three points of resemblance, as long as you take a closer look, you can see that there is a big difference between the two." What is enough to do with this level of resemblance? The second grandmother of the Qin family was really dizzy! But she made our sisters run away in vain. ”
