Chapter 232: Going to the Feast
The courtyard of the palace is not big, but it is a small courtyard with two entrances, there was only Aunt Hu in the past, but it was also spacious, and after Mrs. Wang's mother and son came back, it was a little crowded. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Wang Yan's little girl led Xiao Jiu into the house and walked to the backyard, the little girl was not a person of many words, and she rarely spoke along the way.
Although it had just warmed up, the sun at noon was already very scorching, and the little girl Wang Yan led Xiao Jiu to the octagonal pavilion in the garden.
Xiao Jiu didn't leave early, but it would come early, and there were only three women sitting in the pavilion.
"Mother, Mrs. Yan has arrived. ”
Wang Yan walked over and said as she looked at the other two ladies.
When the three women heard this, they looked at Xiao Jiu at the same time, and their eyes flashed with amazement.
Xiao Jiu smiled at the three of them and walked over slowly, and the three women hurriedly got up and saluted, "Mrs. Yan." ”
"No need to be polite. Xiao Jiu's expression was gentle, and her eyes fell on Mrs. Wang, but she was unexpected, she was a little brighter than Aunt Hu, although she was old, it was not difficult to see the beauty of her youth.
In this way, it is not that Mrs. Wang's color is not good, but that Deputy Lieutenant Wang is really a blind and broken man.
After some greetings, the four of them sat down one after another, and the little girl Wang Yan left quickly, presumably to pick up people at the door again.
"Madame's admiration for her face is a real pleaser. Mrs. Wang squinted her eyes and smiled: "Originally, I was supposed to come to visit, but I came in a hurry, and there were many things in the house, so I handed over the post to Mrs. Wang." ”
"Mrs. Wang is serious. When Xiao Jiu heard this, he just smiled, didn't say anything, just sighed in his heart, he was really a smart person.
"This is Zhang Wanhu's wife, this is Mr. Li's wife, Mrs. must have never seen it. ”
Mrs. Wang introduced the other two to Xiao Jiu, and her tone was sparse and ordinary, as if these two people were not known by Xiao Jiu, just because their husband's official position was too low, not because Xiao Jiu was too lazy to go out and didn't know anyone.
In just a few words, Xiao Jiu knew that this Mrs. Wang was really a rare smart person, and she was very transparent.
I can't complain that when Yanxi speaks, there is still a bit of bias between the words.
It's just that Xiao Jiu didn't have much impression of those officials in the army, and he didn't know anything about the husbands of these two, so he just smiled and nodded.
"The little girl just now is Mrs. Wang's daughter, and it can be seen that Mrs. has put a lot of thought into it. Xiao Jiu has a good impression of Wang Yan, a little girl, and she is polite at a young age.
Speaking of her daughter, Mrs. Wang's expression was much softer, "I am just this one daughter, she has two older brothers, and she is usually a little harsh, and she deserves the praise of Mrs. Wang." ”
"Mrs. Wang is modest, the little girl teaches so well, presumably the two sons must be extraordinary. "Xiao Jiu really wants to praise people, but he will only appear sincere.
And Mrs. Wang cares most about these three children in her life, Xiao Jiu poked her weakness, and naturally felt that the little girl-like general's wife in front of her could speak, and she was very happy in her heart.
"I learned some superficial kung fu on weekdays, and I followed their father to the barracks in the past few days, and in the future, I went to the battlefield, and after killing the enemy, then I can call it extraordinary, and now where is this counted?"
Mrs. Wang's words were very atmospheric, Xiao Jiu had never heard the slightest trace of fraud, but she really admired her, the battlefield was dangerous, Mrs. Wang was willing to go to both of them, such courage is not something that ordinary women can have.
Since we talked about children, we naturally couldn't snub the other two ladies, although Xiao Jiu was young, he was the highest, and it was not abrupt to talk about children with them.
People came in one after another, and Xiao Jiu also took care of it, so that people would not feel left out, and everyone could always say a word or two.
It wasn't until everyone had arrived that Xiao Jiu realized that Mrs. Wang had really invited a lot of people this time.
Tea tasting is just a name, and these ladies usually get together to get closer to each other, or to communicate with each other.
And Xiao Jiu purely came to see the excitement, so he seemed extremely leisurely.
There were several women who wanted to talk to Xiao Jiu, but the flattering face was too ugly, and Xiao Jiu was not very willing to talk to them, so his attitude was very perfunctory.
Rao is women were thick-skinned, and they were embarrassed to pester Xiao Jiu any longer, so it didn't take long for them to get up and find someone else.
As today's master, although Mrs. Wang can't snub others, Xiao Jiu is the one with the highest status, so she naturally wants to be accompanied.
"This tea was planted by myself when I was in my hometown, although it is not top-notch, but it also has a unique taste, Madame may wish to taste it. ”
Xiao Jiu was a little surprised, "It was actually planted by Madame herself?"
"Yes, I am a southerner, in addition to raising children over the years, I only have this one hobby, this tea I stumbled upon in the mountains, it tasted good, so I moved it to my Zhuangzi, after cultivation, I also got several plants. ”
"So, this tea is also made by the lady?"
"Let Madame laugh. ”
Xiao Jiu really felt that it was a pity for a woman like Mrs. Wang to be given to Deputy Lieutenant Wang.
Xiao Jiu had never participated in this kind of banquet before, and he didn't know what the banquet was about, so he felt that an hour had passed between eating and drinking, except for talking a lot, but there was no other entertainment program.
After chatting a lot, Xiao Jiu and Mrs. Wang have a little more familiarity, Mrs. Wang is old enough to be Xiao Jiu's mother, but Xiao Jiu's psychological age is not young, and there is no disharmony between the two when they chat.
"When the general kindly saved me, I have such a stable life now, Mrs. probably didn't know, I really had no way to go, the Bai people always plundered some young children or babies in the early years, took them back to raise, and when they grew up, they let those children find out the news for them and work hard. ”
"My daughter has been good-looking since she was a child, and she was still young at that time, I was really afraid that she would be taken away by the Bai people, and I wouldn't even see her body in this life. ”
Mrs. Wang's eyes were slightly red, "I left in a hurry back then, and I never thanked the general in person, and now that I have returned to Licheng, it is not good to find the general again, so I can only express my gratitude to the general through the mouth of my wife." ”
"The lives of our mother and son were all saved by the general, and if there is anything that can be used in the future, Madame just needs to speak. ”
Mrs. Wang is showing her loyalty, but Xiao Jiu is thinking about Deputy Lieutenant Wang's defection to the prince, does Mrs. Wang know about it?
"Madam is too serious, Yan Xi is a general, and it is instinct to save people. Xiao Jiu quietly paid attention to Mrs. Wang's expression, and said casually: "The general also praised Mrs. as a good mother, that Aunt Hu, I met it before, I don't like it very much, as a concubine, she is very generous......"
