Chapter 59: Princess Yi
The three mermaids rushed in, all hanging their heads and not seeing what was going on around them. Starling walked in front, and Xiaoyu followed dejectedly, like a mountain at the end. According to what the eunuch taught, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and said in unison: "The grass people give the princess, and the prince asks for peace." Without waiting for the princess to speak, she stood up and lined up, standing very neatly. All of them have their heads bowed, their eyes looking at their noses, their noses looking at their mouths, and their mouths looking at their hearts. Wen Shan was so angry on the side, and there was no way.
The princess looked at their chilling appearance, where could she have anything else to say, for fear of scaring them so much that she was silent, so she had to ask softly: "Which one is Xia Xiaoyu!"
Xiaoyu hurriedly took a step forward, lifted the hem of her clothes and knelt down again: "The folk girl is here." ”
Seeing that she was nervous, the princess smiled and said, "It's still a child, let's get tired of walking, hurry up and set up a seat." ”
So someone put a few embroidery piers over, and Xiaoyu sat next to the starling.
The princess looked at them sitting there and didn't dare to take a breath, so she smiled and said, "I heard the prince say that you have helped him a lot this time." ”
Xiaoyu lowered his head and didn't answer, and the starling brother was the oldest so he had to reply: "The fifth brother has a grand wish in his chest, he has a heart for heaven and earth, and a life for the people, but I want to thank the prince for giving him the opportunity to show his ambitions." ”
What the starling and the princess said was obviously not one thing, but what she said was vague, which is not wrong.
Xiaoyu saw that the starling answered well, so he was not so restrained, and looked up at Shizi slightly, and his face also showed Shizi's amiability, and with a somewhat rigorous smile. The princess looked at it from the side, and said with a smile: "Miss Xia looks very familiar. ”
Xiaoyu remembered what her mother said: "Xiao I, the eldest son of the ninth child, if I walk around in the powerful house in the future, it is inevitable that I will not be recognized by someone who cares." ”
So when she heard the princess's words at first glance, Xiaoyu only said that the princess had already seen her origin and was her mother's deceased, because she didn't know whether her mother and the princess were enemies or friends. I can't help but worry in my heart, but the more worried she is, the more she has to say that the mask of the son of the world is firmly worn, so as not to be seen through.
The princess didn't lie to her, at this time, seeing a gentle but not to be underestimated look on her face, she was also thinking in her heart, looking at the familiar one like this, that person seemed to be close in front of her, but she couldn't remember who it was for a while, so she asked: "I don't know where Ling Tang and Ling Yan are." ”
Starling said: "The grass people are from Fengxiang County. ”
The princess saw that Xiaoyu didn't answer half a word, and she was a little disappointed in her heart, saying that she was bold and scheming, and she looked at it as an ordinary girl, so she smiled and said: "Last time Miss Xia wanted to cut clothes, the princess told me, but unfortunately the needlework in the house was busy at that time, and I didn't know if the few pieces I made were suitable or not." ”
The starling looked stunned, and said busily: "The little sister is naughty, she wasted such good material in vain, but she was torn off after two days of wearing." ”
The princess smiled and said, "That's a coincidence, the needlework room in the house happened to be idle, so I asked someone to make a few clothes for your sister." ”
As he spoke, someone came in with his clothes, and Xiaoyu didn't stretch out his hand, but stood up and tilted his head to the side to take a look. The colors and fabrics were all seen by myself that day, or I looked at them twice, or I commented a few words, Xiaoyu squinted at the princess and smiled slightly when she saw it.
Only then did the princess see that she was beautiful and moving, with a pair of eyes like a fine black jewel, red lips and white teeth, because she was in a hurry outside, the blush on her small round face had not faded at this moment, and she looked red and fluttering, like a red fruit that had been paid tribute outside. The corners of her mouth turned slightly as if she was smiling, and when she looked closely, she didn't seem to have it.
The princess's heart jumped, and she suddenly looked back at Shizi, who was drinking tea happily on the side, and smiled indifferently when she saw her mother looking over. The princess said secretly: "It's strange that I look familiar, it turns out that this kid behaves like a child." Xiao'er is like this, she is learning from his father, but she is actually with King Yi..."Where did Princess Yi think that Xiaoyu learned the appearance of the prince, but she thought about it.
Xiaoyu also borrowed her head to look at her clothes at this time, and secretly glanced at the princess and the prince, seeing that the princess was full of pearls and emeralds, with a kind smile on her face, Xiaoyu thought: "It turns out that Zhou Zhen Xiao's mother." That son may be Xiao's father, but I don't know if King Yi is also like this, well, strong. ”
Princess Yi settled down, and knew in her heart that it was unlikely, Rushan and Xiaoyu looked five or six points alike, and King Yi would never go to the Central Plains and give birth to so many children, but how could this little girl be so like the son of the world, Princess Yi was puzzled. Then he pointed to a mother-in-law and a steward beside him and said: "This is the steward Song Yinhua you want, and he said that you bought some farmland, and he is familiar with farming." That is his daughter-in-law Song Huanhuan, who was in charge of needlework in Beijing. ”
Xiaoyu originally wanted to come out under the banner of Shizifu, but she didn't expect the two of them to really help her much. Bringing it back is just to suppress the newly bought servants, so as not to let the descendants of the Xu family and the Sun family regard the summer house as their own.
Now seeing that these two people still seem to have some face in front of Princess Yi, and the words they prepared before are a little difficult to say, so they blushed slightly and said: "I just want to borrow two experienced people to bring those newly bought ones, how can I use your people well, Princess." ”
Princess Yi saw that she was talking a lot, so she smiled and comforted: "There are other people here who are in charge of these things, she has been idle for a few years, and she sees that Tian'er is asking for errands from me." ”
Xiaoyu took a closer look at the steward, who was in his early thirties, with a red face, thick hands and feet, and at first glance, he was from a farm job. That aunt has a round face, also around thirty years old, with thin eyebrows and thin eyes, two thin lips, and she doesn't look very good at talking. Because the princess said that she used to be in charge of needlework, Xiaoyu looked at the apricot green gown on her body, looked at the fine stitches, and nodded when she saw that the stitches were very close, thinking that this look is a powerful one, if you can keep it, if you can't hold it, I can only wait for Zhou Zhen to come back and give it back to him.
Thinking like this, Xiaoyu showed a slight smile, and the couple said: "Since it was given to me by the princess, you can follow me in the future." In the future, if the princess has any other errands and wants you to go back, you can just let me know. If you don't have any errands for you, you'll follow me when I'm done. ”
After that, he looked at the princess, and saw that the princess didn't say anything. Then he continued: "I bought some ripe fields and wasteland two days ago, and the ripe fields have been planted by someone looking for them. Ming'er, Uncle Song went with me to see the wasteland, first help me pick some long-term workers to open up the wasteland, I thought about opening up the wasteland, just plant some local seasonal vegetables, it will not be a big mistake. ”
The Song steward was still a little unconvinced, but after listening to Xiaoyu's words, he knew that she was knowledgeable, so he put away his negligent heart first, bowed his head and replied yes.
The princess nodded secretly when she heard this, and thought: "Sure enough, the children of the poor family are in charge early, and the concubines in the house are older than Xiaoyu, and they are not as successful as her." ”
Xiaoyu saw the appearance of the princess, and knew that what she said was not a big mistake, so she said to Song Huanhuan again: "The princess picked you to give me is also sympathetic to my bad needlework, but you used to do needlework, but I have to help me with everything here. ”
Song Huanhuan also hurriedly said yes. Xiaoyu squinted and nodded with satisfaction, looked at the prince and the princess and said, "We have been bothering for a long time, my brother and Rushan are going to the academy to have a look, so we won't disturb the prince and the princess to enjoy the flowers." ”
Shizi said, "Why are you two also going to study in the academy?"
Starling nodded and said, "Brother Xu and Brother Sun have already gone to the academy to see it, and the two of us are not good at being idle all the time, and we plan to go to the academy to study as well." ”
Shizi nodded, and the princess saw that Xiaoyu didn't ask Shizi's post to go to the academy, and thought to herself, I don't know if these two are really good at studying, or I don't know if it's better to have Shizi's post? ”
The starling brother was so frightened that he almost jumped up, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Rushan and I don't live in the academy, but the second brother and they will come over in a few days." The little sister has a lot of things, and she always has to go out to take care of the farming in the field, this new house, everything is not yet in place, although there is the help of Song Bo and his wife, we are small and small, and the details are still handled by themselves. ”
The princess didn't force it when she heard this, and when she turned her head, she saw Xiaoyu looking at the starling with a grateful face, and she blushed when she saw the starling.
The prince said a few words of encouragement to Starling and Rushan, and then let them go.
When I returned to the house, I saw Da Yongzi waiting in the gatehouse, and brought two letters to Xiaoyu, one for Xiao Xia's mother-in-law, and the other for Xia Erge. Xiaoyu wrote a letter back to her mother and second brother, telling her about the situation in Yanbei and her own arrangements.
Da Yongzi said again: "Brother Fang and Brother Chen also received a letter from the second brother, and the two of them have already taken someone back to Moon Mountain. ”
On the fourteenth day, Rushan sent ointment to Daoist Hong Fan and came back in exchange for three taels of silver.
Su Dazhuang and Tian Erhu trembled and held the ointment, and when they arrived, they smeared it on their bodies. Sure enough, this medicine is very refreshing when applied to the body. Although it was itchy and uncomfortable after an hour, it was good that this medicine was the best thing. As long as you apply it, it won't itch, and it's cool and comfortable.
Therefore, this medicine is not quite prohibited, and the five taels of silver are enough for a day, and the two of them are really stiff, and they dare to apply the medicine until an hour. In this way, when I didn't get to the fifteenth child, the medicine was gone, and I had to stay up for two hours before I counted the time of the child, which is strange to say, and sure enough, after the time of the child, the two of them really didn't itch.
Su Dazhuang and Tian Erhu were still a little angry, but now they are also convinced, and they went to Qingyiguan in person, crying and begging Dao Ye to match a little more next time. Daoist Hong Fan was not convinced, the kid from the Xia family dared to draw three taels of silver and rob the money, looking at these two people at this time, he had no temper. R1152
