19. Chapter 19

Early the next morning, Jiao Wanwan received a post from Princess Yanqing's mansion. Jiao Wanwan was a little nervous, she had only heard of Princess Zhaoqing and Princess Yanqing, but she had never seen two of them, and now that she suddenly got the post, she was a little afraid that she would not be able to get there.

"Don't be afraid, the second sister is a very gentle person, I probably want to meet you, after all, she was not there on the day of the palace banquet." Zhao Defang smiled and comforted: "Besides, after the dynasty is dispersed, I will pick you up." ”

Jiao Wanwan couldn't help laughing: "I'm not worried about this, after all, Princess Yanqing is also your second sister, she just doesn't like me, for your sake, she won't treat me well, but I'm a little worried......"

After all, he wants to take down the male god, if he can please the male god's family, he can get twice the result with half the effort, but if he is not liked by the male god's family, he will have a more difficult time in the future.

"Don't worry." Zhao Defang was silent for a moment, raised his hand and rubbed Jiao Wanwan's hair, and got up, "If the second sister doesn't like you, don't take it to heart, after all, the number of times we see each other in the future is not so much, I will go to the court first, if you are idle and bored, you can find some books to see, or find someone to accompany you to play chess or something, I remember that there is also a double-back chessboard in the treasury, you can order someone to find it." ”

Jiao Wanwan hurriedly responded, got up to help Zhao Defang sort out her clothes, and sent people to the gate of the courtyard, and then turned back. Then, I lost my appetite for food, so I took the post on the table and flipped through it.

After she crossed over, at first she only wanted to hide herself, try to inquire about the preferences of the original owner, and strive to seize the opportunity to live. Naturally, I don't have time to pay attention to things outside. After the holy decree of marriage, I was busy learning the rules and learning the housekeeper, and I only listened to my father and mother talk a few words about the royal affairs, and the aunt invited by the palace also occasionally talked about the temperament of the royal people, but they didn't say it in detail.

Just a few words, Jiao Wanwan can not get much information. I also know that Princess Zhaoqing and Princess Yanqing are from Queen He, and Zhaoqing is married, so there is no need to worry about getting along now. Yanqing returned to Beijing last year, because he was a concubine, and his identity was higher than that of Princess Yongqing, who had not yet married, and his temperament was a little arrogant, and he was the one who valued the family the most.

Jiao Wanwan's own family is not said, and if you count up three generations, it is also a famous general. Jiao Jixun himself is a person valued by the emperor, although Jiao Wanwan's identity is not comparable to that of a princess and county lord, in a group of little ladies in the capital, she can also be ranked.

But there is another one, since Princess Yanqing values the family, she naturally attaches great importance to the rules. Jiao Wanwan's rules, it's okay to fool her family, but in the eyes of those very picky people, I'm afraid it's unqualified.

What if, what if Princess Yanqing said something unpleasant on the spot? Jiao Wanwan herself doesn't care, even silver may not be everyone's favorite, let alone people? I'm afraid that Zhao Defang will lose face, after all, he is not a compatriot, and the brother that Princess Yanqing values more is probably only the prince, right?

Zhao Defang was raised by Queen Song in a beautiful scenery, a gentleman and a frank gentleman, but Jiao Wanwan never hesitated to think in the worst direction.

is also a son-in-law, Zhao Defang is both civil and military, and his name is all over the capital. Zhao Dezhao looked broad-minded, but when he entered the palace that day, why did he take the initiative to mention the matter of Guizhou's feudal domain? is obviously asking for benefits for Zhao Defang, but isn't it reminding the official family that they are already married, shouldn't they also be vassal?

The most important thing is that Zhao Defang just got a message from the official family yesterday, and after the matter of the feudal domain was to be postponed to the Mid-Autumn Festival, Princess Yanqing immediately gave the post, and the time was indeed too coincidental. Of course, if Princess Yanqing just wants to meet her new brother and daughter-in-law, then Jiao Wanwan is a villain herself, and she spends the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. But what if, this post is really for this domain?

There is no way to say these words to Zhao Defang, on the one hand, she is her own sister, and on the other hand, she is the new daughter-in-law who has only been in the door for less than ten days, who will say more weight? Maybe if she is not careful, Jiao Wanwan will become the long-tongued woman who sows discord.

With worries in her heart, Jiao Wanwan couldn't like this post anymore. But I haven't seen Princess Yanqing herself, so I can only comfort myself, maybe I really just want to see my brother and daughter-in-law?

casually stuffed the post into the coffee table drawer on the soft couch, Jiao Wanwan called Jin Mei over: "Inquire about Princess Yanqing's preferences, let's go over tomorrow, we have to bring some meeting gifts." Father-in-law Liu in the kitchen, you go and ask, see if you know the taste of Princess Yanqing, and prepare a few dim sums. ”

Jin Mei was busy, and Jiao Wanwan called Huang Mei in again: "Seeing that it's going to be the Midyear Festival, in our house, it's still the first year to prepare for the sacrifice, you ......" paused, it's really hard to inquire about this matter, Zhao Kuangyin has two sons, one is still in the palace, and the matter of the sacrifice should not be his own, and the rest of this one doesn't even have a reference, and it can't be the same as ordinary people who worship the tablets of their ancestors, this Midyear Festival, how should it be lived?

"Does the princess want her maid to ask her where this sacrificial thing came from? This servant has already asked. Huang Mei said with a smile: "Tin foil or something, all the people who bought the house went to buy it, and the grain and the like were sent from the Zhuangzi of the Four Princes, as for the sacrificial things used that day, the kitchen will prepare them at that time, mostly steamed buns and snacks, and it is easier to make." ”

"There is also a dojo, the slave inquired about the house next door, saying that it was the people on this street, cobbling together a sum of sesame oil money, and invited the people of Xiangguo Temple to do it, we just need to take out this sacrificial thing at that time."

Huang Mei inquired clearly, and Jiao Wanwan couldn't help but smile and said: "It's hard for you, I asked about things before I thought about it, this cleverness is really rare, I have to thank you a lot." ”

Huang Mei hurriedly waved her hand and saluted: "This is what a servant should do, and she deserves the reward of the princess." ”

"What is given to you, you will take." Jiao Wanwan said with a smile, and inserted the small hairpin on her head into Huang Mei's hair: "Ming'er, I'll go to the princess's mansion, you can also go with me, see what clothes you should wear, you go and prepare to come out first." ”

Huang Mei won the reward, smiled from ear to ear, and happily went to the inner room to find clothes.

Coincidentally, the housekeepers outside also came to talk, and Jiao Wanwan also took Lamei and Xiangmei to the council first.

The next day, Zhao Defang was sent away, and Jiao Wanwan left for the princess's mansion. The distance between the two streets is less than an hour. The carriage stopped at the gate, and immediately a maid greeted her, saluted with a smile, and invited Jiao Wanwan to get on the sedan chair: "The princess has been thinking about the princess for a long time, and as soon as she opened her eyes, she let the maid guard at the door." I heard that the princess is a beautiful woman, but now I look at it, and sure enough, the prince can get such a wonderful person as the princess Niangniang, which is really a good blessing for cultivation. ”

Jiao Wanwan had a smile on her face, and Xiangmei next to her also said with a smile: "Our princess and mother often say that the in-laws are loving, the sister-in-law is kind, and the husband is of good character. My name is Xiangmei, what's my sister's name? ”

"My name is Pomegranate." The maid said with a smile, and then turned her head and said something like good weather, and it took nearly a stick of incense to bring the person to the gate of the courtyard. got off the sedan chair, and two maids came in at the door, Xiao Yingying was very kind, and helped Xiangmei and them take things, and praised Jiao Wanwan for her good looks and good looks, and said that the princess was looking forward to seeing the princess or something early in the morning, which made Jiao Wanwan feel flattered.

When I arrived at the door of the lobby, I saw a beautiful woman standing outside the door. Needless to introduce, Jiao Wanwan knows that this must be the princess of Yanqing, wearing a pomegranate red sprinkled with gold flowers full-breasted skirt, combing a double ring bun with ingots, in the center is a ruby double phoenix bead gold head, and below is a topaz butterfly earring, grabbing the treasure and magnificent.

"Second sister." Jiao Wanwan hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Let the second sister wait outside, I'm very scared, is the second sister treating me as an outsider?" ”

"Look at what I said, if I treat you as an outsider, I won't wait outside, just let people bring you in. Do you still hate me for coming out to meet you? Princess Yanqing said with a smile, in terms of appearance, Princess Yanqing is not as good as Queen Song, but Queen Song has a gentle temperament, but Princess Yanqing is domineering, and there is a feeling of not being angry and arrogant when she crosses her eyes.

Fortunately, Jiao Wanwan is not timid, otherwise she would have to be a little frightened, for fear of angering this princess. Once this momentum is lowered, I am afraid that I will not be able to stand up straight in front of this Yanqing princess in the future.

"Where, it's too late for me to be happy to see the second sister earlier, isn't this afraid of tiring the second sister?" Jiao Wanwan said with a smile, sat down at the door, beckoned Lamei over, took the box in her hand, and handed it to Princess Yanqing in person: "I heard Defang say that the second sister liked to drink tea in the past, this is a little bit of my heart, don't dislike it, second sister." ”

Princess Yanqing opened the box on the spot, smelled it, and said with some surprise: "This is Jianxi tea?" I don't know, you still have such tea, or new tea, this gift is so good to my heart, I like it too much, it's hard to find such tea for you, the best quality, hurry up, has the spiritual spring water been sent today? If it's delivered, make a bowl of tea quickly. ”

Jiao Wanwan couldn't help laughing, sure enough, she was a tea lover, her eyebrows and eyes were flying, compared with the domineering just now, it was a little more bright at this time, and her smile was a little more real.

It's just that Jiao Wanwan still didn't dare to completely put her mind down. Sure enough, in the next sentence, Princess Yanqing turned her head and asked, "Where did you get such good tea?" Hey, it's a pity, after a while, you and the fourth brother will go to the domain, and if you leave, I'm afraid I won't have the good fortune to taste this good tea again. ”
