Chapter 55: Accidents
The wife of the Song commander is surnamed Niu, and she is very handsome. It's just that a pair of eyebrows are quite disappointing, short and thick, not to mention, both eyebrows are still standing upward, and it looks like a naughty child has drawn a sign on her forehead. Fortunately, this sign is fairly symmetrical, with no one high or one low, or one long or one short.
Although Princess Xing and Niu's are not close friends, they often correspond because of the relationship between their husbands. Princess Xing's maiden family is the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Anyuan's grandson in the capital, and the title of Marquis of Anyuan was also obtained on horseback, so Princess Xing acted quite decisively.
This Mrs. Niu is just the opposite, she is a big family in Jinzhong for generations, and she often turns and turns when she speaks. The two of them discussed things, and most of them were going to serve tea to the guests, and they had just entered the topic. Or Princess Xing is still covered with clouds and mountains here, and Mrs. Niu has already returned home.
Princess Xing couldn't help but sigh when she heard that Niu came over, but she didn't expect Mrs. Niu to come in, and it was rare that she didn't go around in a big circle. As soon as his butt touched the chair, he was surprised and said to Princess Tongxing: "Oh, it's not strange for you to talk about it, Princess. ”
Princess Xing couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and looked at Niu Shi curiously, only to see that she was wearing a blue and blue Hangzhou silk sleeve jacket and a lake-green skirt today. The hair is tied in a popular cross bun, with a red gold hairpin in the center and a ruby embedded in the center. A thin, fair face with sparkling eyes. Princess Xing hurriedly tilted her head to the side, lest her eyes fall on her eyebrows and lose her interest.
"Last year, the head of the case in our house was called Xia Prodigy, you know. There is a girl in their family, I heard that it was because she gave birth to eight brothers before she got such a daughter. A few days ago, the Northwest Lan family actually sent someone to deliver a letter and solemnly asked me about her. Tell me if it's a joke. ”
Princess Xing endured the horror in her heart and said indifferently: "I heard that her family Liulang is working in the Lan family's tiger camp, I think it is the Lan Guogong who cherishes his talents. ”
Mrs. Niu took a sip of tea and said, "No, this Xia girl's sixth brother has recently been promoted to garrison again, and Grandpa Guo chatted with him about having a younger sister at home." Listen, isn't that what it means to be promoted or promoted? ”
Princess Xing nodded reluctantly and said, "That's right." ”
When Mrs. Niu heard this, she immediately tilted her head sideways and said with a mysterious smile: "Guess what happened to the Xia family." ”
Princess Xing simply didn't take the princess's family, and asked curiously: "The three sons of the Lan Guo family are also good. Haoxin is even more brave and good at fighting, and she is generous, which lady who has a daughter in Beijing has never liked it? Could it be that the Xia family is not happy?"
Mrs. Niu covered her mouth with a handkerchief, chirped and giggled and said, "The Xia family didn't say that they were unhappy, they just said that they wanted to keep this girl as a stove keeper." He also said that this girl was pampered by a group of brothers, and she didn't understand anything about the intrigue in the backyard. If someone really wants to marry, they must first release the family and aunt. ”
Mrs. Niu raised her eyes to look at the stunned Princess Xing, and said a little proudly: "Look, it's just such a villager, and the family hasn't gotten up yet, so it's arrogant like this." ”
Princess Xing then looked down and said: "It's the kind of Zhuang family who doesn't know how powerful it is, so they have the courage to say such things." If any man really did it so ruthlessly. If it were a change, we wouldn't dare to marry our daughter. ”
Mrs. Niu clapped her hands and said with a smile: "That's it." ”
He pouted again and continued: "This Xia family is also interesting. In addition to this, the man also needs to give two or three Zhuangzi and two or three shops. If there is a room in the future, the aunt's wife, the girl of the Xia family will take these separations, and the man's family must not stop them. ”
Princess Xing was stunned and said, "This, such a girl, which family dares to marry her." ”
When Mrs. Niu heard this, she laughed: "People have long said that they want to be a stove keeper. I heard that her fifth brother was on an errand in the county office, and he wrote all the documents for Na and Li early. When she got married, she signed the divorce letter first, and her mother's family collected it for her. In the future, if you commit any crime, you don't need to fight or make trouble, and you will go directly to the government to deal with it. ”
Princess Xing listened for a long time before she came back to her senses: "In this case, why does the Lan family still want to inquire about this Xia girl?"
Mrs. Niu was also stunned by the question for a while: "I guess it's also curious." Although the conditions are a little harsh, it is nothing for people like us. ”
Princess Xing tilted her head and thought about it, but it was the same. A few Zhuangzi and a few shops are not unaffordable. Although it is not very good to have a reputation when it is separated, men are no better than women, and even if it is a little hindered by fame, it is limited.
Thinking like this, he couldn't help but ask again: "In this way, the Lan family still has some meaning." ”
"It's hard to say, but I was asked to inquire, but I didn't say anything else. Mrs. Niu shook her head and said, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "I heard that the princess invited their mother and daughter to the mansion to play in the past, what can you see?"
Princess Xing couldn't help but be a little embarrassed at this time, and prevaricated: "You also know King Xing's temper, and I like their home-brewed Western Regions wine at that time." Just invite to play at home, it's nothing special, and it's not a city or a country to say it's beautiful. In front of us, she is still a very docile girl. But!"
Princess Xing was played by Mrs. Niu for a long time, and it was finally her turn to sell Guanzi, seeing that Mrs. Niu listened carefully with her ears pricked up, she slowly took a sip of tea and said: "I think you have also heard that although it is a girl's family, her equestrian skills are very powerful, and even Li'er is not an opponent." "There must have been a lot of stories like this outside, and you can find out any one you send out.
Sure enough, Mrs. Niu looked disappointed when she heard this. The two of them chatted rambling for a while, and Mrs. Niu had no choice but to give up when she saw that she couldn't ask anything new.
After sending Mrs. Niu away, Princess Xing couldn't help but sit in the room alone and ponder.
When it was time to eat in the evening, King Xing saw her sitting under the window with her cheeks thinking about things, and the sunset shone on her face, reflecting her whole body golden. King Xing was stunned and couldn't help asking, "Why are you thinking about things so engrossedly?" ”
Princess Xing turned around and saw that King Xing's eyes immediately lit up, and her expression suddenly became happy, as if she had found the backbone of the heart, she trotted over in three steps and two steps, and pulled King Xing to talk.
King Xing and his wife have been married for many years, and Princess Xing's personality can be regarded as strong. Such six gods have no master, looking confused and full of satisfaction according to his appearance, and only a few times when they were newly married. When King Xing saw it at this time, he couldn't help but feel great pity in his heart. After listening to Princess Dexing's story, she couldn't help laughing and took her in her arms: "If you don't listen to me for a long time, look at people to rob it, and I feel unwilling." ”
Princess Xing was pouting unconvinced to refute, looking up at King Shangxing's favored gaze, and couldn't help but feel moved. For a while, he put aside the matter of Xiaoyu.
However, the Xia family took advantage of the fact that the villagers rushed to the county seat to beg for porridge, and drove a carriage to load some of the grain hidden in Zhaowang Village and secretly transported it back.
Since Sun Haoran expressed his heart to Mrs. Xiao Xia, he stayed in the side courtyard all day to study, and occasionally Brother Qi came over to talk to him about his reading experience. Mrs. Lu and Miss Sun did not go out of the door, and only stayed in the room all day to do needlework. The Xia family also has no maids and mothers-in-law in Zhuangzi, so naturally there are no subordinates to bully them. Several daughters-in-law only said that they were classmates of Seventh Brother, and their family was in trouble and ran over.
stayed up like this, and even slowly survived until March. When they saw the green in the field, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Brother Xia and Fourth Brother Xia's family brought Xiaoyu, Zhong Min and the children back to Zhaowang Village to live. Xiaoyu tried her best to invite Zhong Min and Sun Wan to go to the forest to dig wild vegetables with them. Mrs. Lu was afraid that she would be bored at home all day long at a young age, so she agreed.
However, Zhong Min was old and didn't want to mess with these children, so he didn't follow him under the pretext of helping his sister-in-law cook.
So, Second Brother Xia brought Seventh Brother, Eighth Brother and Rushan to them as escorts, and a large group of people entered the mountain. Xiaoyu took Sun Wanru to recognize the wild vegetables in the field, and kept talking: this is a chasel cabbage, that is a camelina cabbage, this mushroom is poisonous, and that mushroom is edible. He climbed up the tree and took off the tooth-smoking, and he didn't have to wash it, and the children ate it all in the blink of an eye.
Sun Wanru had seen these before, and he tasted them curiously, and he had a different flavor when he ate them sweet and smooth. He squatted in the grass like a light rain and went around digging wild vegetables and picking mushrooms. She is careful and patient, and in a while she is more than Xiaoyucai.
The eldest sister-in-law's Qin'er and the fourth sister-in-law's Yan'er saw that this delicate little girl had neat hands and feet, so they also leaned over to talk. Slowly, a few girls started laughing. When Ting'er saw it, she felt a little unhappy. She is good-looking, greedy and beautiful, and thinks it is not good to squat on the ground. Just like this, I went around east and west, and I didn't bother to look for it carefully through the grass. After digging for a long time, the other people already had a full basket, but there was only a thin layer in her basket.
Qin'er didn't care that she couldn't hang it on her face, and she was stunned and said: "The eldest sister is also a child of our village, and these wild vegetables are not as many as the people who have just learned to dig wild vegetables that my sister has just learned." ”
Ting'er was rubbing the mud on her feet in disgust, and when she heard this, her little face grew long, and she ran over angrily, poured most of the wild vegetables in Qin'er's basket into her basket, and said: "Since this is the case, you can do more." As he spoke, he was going to rob Yan'er again.
Yan'er hurriedly held the basket in her arms. Ting'er couldn't grab it after pulling it a few times, so she simply pulled forward with both hands, and pushed forward and backward violently. Yan'er was pulling backwards hard, and when she pushed her again, she couldn't stand and leaned back.
Sun Wanru happened to be standing aside to watch them arguing, and when she saw this, she hurriedly stretched out her hand to catch Yan'er. But I didn't expect Yan'er to look not tall, but the weight was not small. As a result, both of them were unsteady on their feet and fell to the ground together.
Yan'er was okay and sat on Sun Wanru's body. As if he didn't have such luck, the whole person lay on the ground, unable to stand up for a long time.
