Chapter 43: Wives and Concubines
Zhang Zhaohua ate the meal and came out of the heart hall, and found that Wei Shi had not left, and was still waiting for her in the rest room. She also abandoned her shoulders and walked back slowly with Webster.
Zhang Zhaohua didn't know how to speak, he hoped that she wouldn't make Yan Wang angry if she was stupid, and he hoped that she would be so stupid for a long time, so he had to say: "You too, in front of a table of food, what kind of nonsense such as brains and, you are not disgusting, we are still eating!"
Wei didn't feel that what he said was not in tune, and with a smile, Zhang Zhaohua found that she seemed to be in a good mood, and her mouth was still humming slang, and when she sang, she somehow gave people a refreshing feeling, and her voice was actually beautiful.
In the end, Wei pointed to his head and showed off to her inexplicably: "This is given to me by the second prince!"
Zhang Zhaohua found out that she had a top hairpin with a golden silk inlaid with jade inlaid with a peony luan bird pattern on her head, and a pair of sideburns inlaid with jade inlaid with a peony luan bird pattern in her ears, which was given to her by Gao Xu, which made her happy.
The main process characteristics of gold and silver jewelry in the national dynasty are the combination of gold and silver and gemstones, and the enthusiasm for gems has begun in the Yuan Dynasty. Zhang Zhaohua himself has many such gold and jade jewelry, but he wears it less often, after all, he presses his neck.
Zhang Zhaohua couldn't help but quip: "Yo, do you know why the King of Gaoyang County gave you these jewelry?"
Zhang Zhaohua thought that it would be rare to be shy to see Wei, but Weishi said directly: "He wants to beg me to be a mother-in-law! How can such a little thing be enough, we want two donkeys there!"
Zhang Zhaohua couldn't pinch her: "The top hairpin on your head alone can buy more than ten!"
Wei snorted and chirped, whispering something for a while, "My things, have nothing to do with them", and then frowned again, saying something "related", Zhang Zhaohua suddenly remembered her life experience, and she had asked before.
Wei's family was in Shandong, and life was good, but Hongwu was plagued by locusts in the 31st year, and her father sold her, and a foreign man used ten catties of wheat to drive her to the donkey and carry her back.
Webster himself said that she came with a mouth on her shoulder, and his mother had also prepared a dowry for her, red embroidered shoes, and she wanted to wear these shoes when she left, but his father and mother didn't seem to want to see her again, and told her not to think about coming back, what else could she do when she came back, she didn't come to collect her father's bones.
"Your father and mother sold you," Zhang Zhaohua asked, "Do you hate them?"
"What do you hate," Wei couldn't see the sad look at all: "They gave birth to me, and they sold it if they wanted to! If they don't sell me, what will they eat at home, and I won't come to the palace, right, there is food and drink here, all of which I didn't dare to think of, and beautiful clothes to wear, I feel that they let me come to enjoy the blessings!"
Zhang Zhaohua was not in a good mood, but when he heard her, he couldn't cry or laugh.
The two of them walked slowly, Zhang Zhaohua was still telling her that she had to learn some rules, and she sent a grandmother to teach her, and Webster's chick generally responded to the rice peck. After a while, there were four or five people walking in front of him, and Zhang Zhaohua looked up and froze when he looked up, because the person who came across was Xiangyun.
Before Li Jinglong's army besieged the city, Xiangyun went to the Xishan Courtyard to raise her, Gao Xu went out with King Yan, and it was Gao Chi who gave her a warrant to go out of the city, which made Zhang Zhaohua particularly unbearable.
Xiangyun saw her and quickly avoided the side of the road, Zhang Zhaohua walked seven or eight steps past her, and she could still see her bowing her head and saluting, and she never got up. Wei had never seen Xiangyun before, so he couldn't help but be amazed and asked, "Who was that person just now?"
Zhang Zhaohua said: "The concubine of the second prince." Concubine, do you know, it's-"
"It's a woman who eats me, she stands and waits for me, and she can only eat when I'm done eating!" Wei said with great interest: "Mama Qian has taught me!"
These girls around Zhang Zhaohua are all Mama Qian with enlightenment to read and write, I think Wei Shi has also listened to Mama Qian's class, the word "concubine" is "standing girl", a standing woman, when her wife sits, she stands, Wei is right.
Zhang Zhaohua originally thought that the place where Wei was born was relatively remote, and the biggest official she knew was the chief of their place, and the chief did not have a concubine, she didn't know what a concubine did, but she didn't expect Wei to sigh: "She is so handsome! The second prince is really blessed! We are there, marrying someone who is not as handsome as her, it costs a lot of money!"
Zhang Zhaohua said: "She wants to compete with you for a husband, do you understand?" ”
Wei Shi seemed to understand this time, with a reluctant look in his eyes, and muttered: "That's not good, three people sleep in a quilt at night, and they can't squeeze in!"
Zhang Zhaohua couldn't help but be happy, and said: "It seems that there is still a lack of a bed for you in the house! In your dowry, just add a stepping bed with four corner pillars of the platform!"
Merriam-Webster seemed to be still thinking about what it meant to have an extra woman in the family, but she obviously didn't realize that this woman was one step ahead of her, but she soon became happy, and her face seemed to have changed the sky.
Zhang Zhaohua looked at her and was really funny: "What are you happy about?"
"Of course I'm happy, I'll let her wash my feet," Webster said, "Is that okay?"
Zhang Zhaohua couldn't understand her brain circuit, "Yes, yes, but at that time, you also had a lot of people around you, do you have to let her wash you?"
"That's nature!" Wei Zhen Zhen said: "Others, not concubines! Since she is a concubine, I only called her, otherwise who knows, I am a wife?"
Zhang Zhaohua couldn't help but be shocked, she suspected that Wei's usual stupidity was pretending, she had never seen what a concubine was like, and she had never heard of the way wives and concubines got along, but she naturally knew that as a "wife", she should call a "concubine".
Ms. Chang found herself liking Merriam-Webster more and more, probably because she had a lot of fun when she walked through the door—her world seemed to be very different from the world in the eyes of others, and her world seemed to be many more colors than others.
And Zhang Zhaohua didn't want to admit that the confrontation between Webster and Xiangyun was what she liked to see, and she even taught Webster many methods: "How can you call her clearly, you think that the call is justified, she will feel that you are trying her, and when Gao Xu is there, see her pear blossom and cry with rain, how can you refute it here......"
After talking all the way, at the end, Zhang Zhaohua suddenly remembered that Wei Shi appeared at the banquet inexplicably today, so he said: "I didn't tell you to come, why don't you listen to me, but you want to go around in front of King Yan's eyes?"
"I saw the Lord of Yongping," Wei said, "she asked me to come." ”
