Chapter 1 A New Atmosphere
The reason why the old lady of the Xiang family entered Beijing is also inseparable from Mu Chenghuang, I remember Mu Chenghuang before
When he asked Shen Ke to check Wenzhi's identity, he also asked Shen Ke for another thing by the way. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Is there a maid around you who can act?" Mu Chenghuang asked Shen Ke very seriously at that time.
Shen Ke's neck was slightly raised, and he seemed to be very proud and said: "The people around me can all act, otherwise how can they make money for me." ”
Mu Chenghuang paused slightly, Shen Ke obviously did a legitimate business with his own ability, but why listening to Shen Ke's description, he always felt that she was a profiteer.
"Okay, when you go to Jiangnan to check things out, by the way, play a play for me. ”
So, later, a slave of the Shen family from the capital entered the Xiang family with the tokens of Mu Chenghuang and Shen Ke, and when he left, he suddenly burst into tears, knelt in front of the old lady of the Xiang family and cried: "Old lady, there are some things that the slave maid didn't want to say, but ...... But...... But the fifth princess had a really hard time in the palace. ”
In fact, at that time, Mu Chenghuang had already won the trust of the Empress Dowager Pei and held the right to be an assistant, but he couldn't eat before, and it was true that he was deducted by the Internal Government Bureau, and there was no falsehood, although the old lady of the Xiang family was the most distressed like a concubine, after the death of the concubine, she really couldn't stand the sadness of staying in the capital, so she left the capital, but it doesn't mean that she doesn't feel sorry for her granddaughter.
The old lady did give birth to a lot of sons, but most of them died in the war later, this Yangzhou hometown is a group of orphans and widows, come and go without dragging, I came back this little half a year, it was originally the daughter-in-law of the big house and the daughter-in-law of the second room in charge of the house, but it was too peaceful, and they came instead of letting them both have to look at their faces, and they were not comfortable with each other, so they gritted their teeth and stomped their feet, anyway, the old woman was just these jobs, and there were two capable daughters-in-law in Yangzhou's hometown who could support her, so she simply went to Beijing to support Mu Chenghuang.
However, the daughter-in-law of this big house Xie decided to come together, it was unexpected, but it was reasonable, now Xiang Boyong is getting older, and it is time to go to school at the age of going to school, according to the grade, it is completely possible to enter the Taixue study in Beijing, although Yangzhou also has a good private school Mr., but in the capital, in the powerful Taixue to study, can form a network, that is not in Yangzhou to find an old gentleman can compare, the daughter-in-law of the big house is also to consider Xiang Boyong, simply asked to enter the capital together, after all, the old lady is old and strong, and she is old, and there is a mutual care on the road。
On this day, the carriage convoy of the Xiang family arrived in the suburbs of Beijing, and the chief of the post house in the suburbs of Beijing also came out early to greet him.
Xiang Old Lady got out of the carriage, a splendid flower robe of crow green and mopped the floor, even in this hot summer day, Xiang Old Lady's clothes are also meticulous, the white placket of the neckline has been tied to the neckline, although the hair has been white, but it is also combed very smoothly, the cheeks have sagged badly because of aging, the corners of the mouth are down, if you only look at the lower part of the face, you will only feel that the old lady Xiang has a bitter face.
But only these eyes are bright, as if they can see through all the hearts and lies in this world, and the crow's feet at the corners of the eyes can make people see that this is an old man who loves to laugh.
Xie Shi was in the back of the carriage, when she came down, she didn't even use the wooden steps, she jumped directly from the carriage, and landed steadily, she was about forty years old, I don't know if she had been practicing martial arts, her body looked much slimmer than the lady of the same age, and her skin was much tighter, but because of the wind and sun, her skin was a little dark.
Xie has practiced martial arts since childhood, and the lord of the big house has also fought side by side on the battlefield, and is also a heroine, she also has a destiny, but Xie is humble and honest, has never shown off, to the old lady is the most like her temperament, on weekdays, but also close to her, the second daughter-in-law is also a capable, but is a scholarly family, always has its own set of rules, although the relationship with Xie and the old lady is good, but always feel that there is something apart, and the meeting is also polite, polite greetings, sometimes, it doesn't look like a family。
Xie got out of the carriage and stretched out his hand to lead Xiang Boyong, who was seven years old this year, born with a pink carving, although he was a head taller than his peers, but there was no meat on his body, he was dry and thin, and his face was excessively white, but now the weather was hot, revealing a flush that seemed to be about to suffer from heat stroke.
Xiang Boyong followed the temperament of Xie and Xiang Boss, obsessed with martial arts, but unfortunately his body was weak, and he was going to get sick once in a few days, so he invited a doctor to come and see it, and said that this was a deficiency disease, that is, it was brought out from the mother's womb.
There is no way, Xiang Boyong's father and mother are desperate, and they are willing to pass on this only son when they can't afford to raise a child, when Xiang Boyong's mother is pregnant with Xiang Boyong, don't say those supplements, the first six months are often scarce and can't even eat, such food, how can the child be born and raised well.
It was when the child was seven months old, Xiang Jia found their couple, saying that they wanted to adopt, Xie sent a lot of supplements to the past, but Xiang Boyong's mother was already weak, a little bit of food is nosebleeds, vomiting does not stop, the birth of Xiang Boyong is also like a kitten, born for a long time without panting, the midwife thought that she had died, ready to take it out to report the funeral, only to cross the threshold, Xiang Boyong suddenly cried out, vomited amniotic fluid on the ground.
Xiang family has never had such a weak child, Xiang Lao Lady also had a kung fu foundation in her early years, pregnant and able to play double knives, the seven sons born were strong, and they began to take cold showers at the age of two, until they gave birth to a baby girl, Xiang Lao Lady was spoiled like something, for fear of bumping into it, when she was a child, Concubine Ru was bitten by mosquitoes in a big bag, leaving a scar the size of a needle, and Mrs. Xiang was looking for a prescription everywhere for Concubine Ru to go to this scar.
So when Xie hugged Xiang Boyong, whose face was only half the size of a palm, Xiang didn't say anything, just said, since we decided to pass when we were six months pregnant, there was no reason to ruin the agreement because the child was weak, the daughter-in-law of the big house, in order to save Dalang, you went into danger alone and went deep into the enemy camp, so you didn't have a child, and you couldn't get pregnant later, that's why we are sorry for you to the family, this child, if you are willing to stay, he is the eldest son of the Xiang family, as for raising, otherwise, let's try the method of raising eight sisters back then?
Since then, Xiang Boyong has been raised by Jin Guidi, but in the end, he did not raise a baby like a concubine to the old lady back then, in the end, he is a boy, he will marry a wife and have children in the future, and he must have a manly spirit, Xie has always thought that when Xiang Boyong's body is better, he will begin to teach him martial arts, and he will not ask him to go to the battlefield to fight, so he has the right to be healthy.
The head of the post house greeted him and said apologetically: "Old lady Xiang, this is really embarrassing, this is also a coincidence, the grandfather of this country also happened to come today, and he only arrived on the front foot, and there are only so many empty rooms in this post house, but the lower officials have already prepared two upper rooms for Mrs. Xiang and Mrs. Xiang, but these family servants may only be grieved in the lobby." ”
The old lady Xiang was easy-going: "It's okay, we were in a hurry all the way." After that, he turned around again, and was about to tell the servants to put their things outside and go in to rest, but he saw that Xie had already lectured these slaves and arranged them properly, and said to the old lady silently, but just followed the post chief into the house together.
The lobby is quite cool, the wind through the hall is swept through, with the fragrance of those pines and cypresses outside, it is good to be able to rest here, some of the slaves of the Xiang family are veterans who have retired directly from the battlefield, this field, quagmire, swamp are all lying down, sleeping, what is it to rest in the lobby.
The group came in, and there was a sound of footsteps on the steps, and Zhou Guogong's voice carried some eagerness and honor: "It's an honor to come to the old lady." ”
Zhou Guogong and Xiang are both in a big family in Yangzhou, and they have frequent contacts with each other, but they are also some ceremonial exchanges on weekdays, Zhou Guogong admires the old lady Xiang very much, and repeatedly wants to come to visit, but they are all unwell or old to the old lady, or go to the temple to pray for such a reason as a euphemistic refusal, Xiang old lady since half a year ago back to Yangzhou, there are not many people to see, probably or the pain of losing a daughter in the heart has not been relieved, Zhou Guogong is also a person who can empathize with the same disease, just because his wife also died early, at that time he was also sad to die and live, but there is still a young daughter Zhou Lingxi, who poured all her heart and care into Zhou Lingxi.
Old lady Xiang is not disgusted with Zhou Guogong, so when Zhou Guogong took Zhou Lingxi to greet her, Xiang Old Lady also stood up respectfully, in terms of grade, she should salute Zhou Guogong.
"Don't dare, don't dare," Zhou Guogong was busy supporting the old lady Xiang who was slightly bent on her knees, "Old lady Xiang is an elder, and the younger generation can't stand it." ”
After meeting, he wanted to greet him for a while, and Zhou Guogong always said that if he knew that the old lady Xiang was also going to enter Beijing, he would definitely invite the old lady to accompany him, so as not to let the old lady and the women and children be bullied and so on.
Hearing this, the old lady smiled and pointed at Xie Shi and said, "With my daughter-in-law here, we are the only ones who bully others." ”
Xie Shi listened, just smiled shyly, but also acquiesced, Xiang Boyong nested in Xie Shi's arms, although it was stuffy, but just now he took a car all the way, Xiang Boyong was a little motion sick, only felt that it was better to be nested in his mother's arms, Xie Shi also doted on Xiang Boyong all the time, gently patted his back, and gave him relief, but Xiang Boyong still wanted to vomit from time to time, and the maid on one side kept holding a wooden basin beside him, waiting to pick up those ** things, but Xiang Boyong has been retching, and he didn't spit it out at all, Xie Shi looked at it and felt uncomfortable, this scene, I'm afraid that it will be more comfortable if I spit it out.
A soft female voice suddenly sounded next to him: "This little boy looks so uncomfortable, I have a cooling oil here that dissipates heat and refreshes, do you want to try it." ”... Friends who read books, you can search for "", you can find this site as soon as possible.
