13. Chapter 13
There are only two people in the palace, she and Zhao Defang, they do whatever they want, and they can start whenever they want in the morning. It's just that it's not too late, after all, there's something else going on today. Early in the morning, Zhao Defang's room came to ask for peace first.
Before Zhao Defang left the palace, Queen Song gave Zhao Defang two palace maids, and the role of these palace maids was to teach Zhao Defang to communicate with people. When they get out of the palace, these two can't be equated with maidservants, but they are not aunts and concubines, and at present, they are just rooms.
Jiao Wanwan knew about this for a long time, although she felt a little uncomfortable, but thinking about it, in modern times, men may have a few ex-girlfriends before they get married, and it is estimated that less than forty percent of them can stay until they get married.
Zhao Defang's two rooms are also before marriage, if he holds on to it, wouldn't it be similar to those modern women who turn over old accounts? Turning it over once in a while, that's a jealousy little fun, and if you turn it too many times, it will damage the relationship between the husband and wife.
It doesn't matter if you feel uncomfortable, the most important thing is that you can't bring it out. Don't pursue the previous things, as long as you grasp it well, just hold Zhao Defang by your side.
After freshening up, Jiao Wanwan took Jin Mei to the main hall. Two rooms, one wearing stone blue clothes, is slightly similar to the clothes of the big maids in the house, but there are some differences. The other wears an autumn fragrance color than a nail, the style is also ordinary, and there is not even embroidery on the clothes, and the two of them are dressed very plainly.
Seeing Jiao Wanwan coming in, she hurriedly squatted down and saluted, calling the princess Niangniang.
Jiao Wanwan hurriedly raised her hand: "Get up, Jinmei, serve tea." As he spoke, he looked at it, and the one in the stone blue clothes was called honeysuckle, and his face was slightly long, which was somewhat similar to the modern awl face, and it was very gorgeous to look at. The one who wears autumn fragrance is called Danqiu, with a round face, and he looks a little cute and cute.
Jin Mei hurriedly went to the door, took the tray sent by the little maid, with tea on it, put it on the table behind them, and retreated to Jiao Wanwan's side.
Danqiu looked like a delicate person, and his temperament was about a little lively, so he turned around and took the tea, and said with a smile: "The slave maid asks the princess to say goodbye, and invites the princess to drink tea." ”
Honeysuckle hurriedly followed, kneeling in front of Jiao Wanwan with a teacup. Jiao Wanwan reached out and took the teacup, touched her lips slightly and put it down. He took two hairpins from Jin Mei's hand, the same golden hairpins, and put them in the hair of Honeysuckle and Danqiu respectively, and motioned for them to get up.
"Where do you live now?" After the two of them sat down, Jiao Wanwan asked. Danqiu hurriedly said: "The servants live in the Zhiyu Academy. ”
Jiao Wanwan thought back in her mind, because when Jin Mei and the others came over with the dowry before, they had inquired about the layout of this mansion. She now lives in the main courtyard, called Changchun Garden, Zhiyu Yuan is a little behind the right side, separated by a garden, the yard is not particularly big, but there are a total of more than a dozen rooms, only two through the room, it is definitely enough.
"If there is anything in the future, just look for Jin Mei and a few of them, and just mention what they eat." Jiao Wanwan nodded, she really doesn't have anything to talk about with these people, can't she talk about the preferences of the fourth prince Zhao Defang together, right?
Therefore, I can only put on the posture of an eldest woman and say two sentences: "I don't need to come here every day to say goodbye, just come once on the fifteenth day of the new year." Okay, let's go back too. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Danqiu get up and salute: "The princess is lenient, and the servants are grateful." It's just that the maid is idle, can you ask the princess to give the maid a pair of old shoes or a dress for the princess, and the maid will stay in the house to help the princess do a needlework? ”
Although Honeysuckle looks gorgeous, but her temperament is a little wooden, seeing Danqiu get up, she also hurriedly got up, Danqiu finished speaking, she followed and hummed like a mosquito: "The maid also wants to do a few needlework for the princess, and ask the princess to give the maid a few old clothes." ”
Jiao Wanwan thought for a while and shook her head: "Don't use it for the time being, if you are idle, it is better to go around the garden, scatter your mind or something, clothes or something, and the people who have their own needlework room will do it, if they are too busy, I will let you help the two, and now I don't need to use it for now." It's not too early, so go back first. ”
Danqiu hurriedly saluted and exited the door, and Honeysuckle followed. Jin Mei smiled: "Look, the maid, these two know the rules, and the lady will have a lot of peace of mind in the future." ”
"If you don't have to worry about it, you can see it from one side to the other, and you can say it later. Is Chengfu's father-in-law here? Jiao Wanwan asked, Jin Mei nodded hurriedly: "When the maid went to serve tea just now, I heard Ruyi say that Chengfu Gonggong came from the outer courtyard fairly, and I think I have arrived here." ”
Jiao Wanwan hurriedly got up, although Chengfu was just an attendant serving the four princes, but after all, she grew up with the four princes since she was a child, and her affection was extraordinary. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to greet it in person.
As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw Chengfu Gonggong standing outside the courtyard waiting, and when he saw her come out, he hurriedly came over to salute: "The little one is saying goodbye to the princess, is the princess free?" The prince said, in the past two days, let the little one listen to your dispatch, you said, what should we do today? Do you want to walk around the house first, or go to the treasury first? There is also the roster in this house, when will the princess meet people? ”
Jiao Wanwan frowned, going around the mansion about this matter, it is better to let Zhao Defang accompany her. Originally, it was a holy decree to marry, and I had seen it so many times before marriage, so I still had to seize more opportunities to cultivate feelings.
"Does the prince have something important to do today?" Jiao Wanwan quickly smiled, and Cheng Fu touched his head: "That's not true, the prince went to the study early in the morning, saying that he was going to write an excerpt or something, and he is still in the study." ”
"Then if I go over now, will the prince be angry?" Jiao Wanwan was just about to raise her feet, but she was busy and paused, Cheng Fu blinked, a little embarrassed, she would definitely be angry when she was busy with business, but writing an excerpt shouldn't be a big deal, right? The princess has just entered the door, maybe the prince is very happy that she can accompany her?
But what if, the prince doesn't value the princess so much in his heart, what if he gets angry?
"Why don't we go over and have a look first, if the prince is busy, let's come back quietly?" Jiao Wanwan saw that Chengfu was embarrassed, so she made her own decision: "It's just right, it's time for breakfast, the prince won't have breakfast in the study by himself, right?" ”
This idea is not bad, Cheng Fu nodded hurriedly, and led Jiao Wanwan to the study in the outer courtyard.
"What does the prince like to do on weekdays?"
"The prince dresses up, does he prefer to be plain?"
"What kind of pastimes does the prince usually have?"
"I heard that the prince has few opponents in chess?"
Along the way, Jiao Wanwan kept asking, Cheng Fu smiled and answered in detail what he could answer. If you can't answer, you will deal with the past vaguely. Fortunately, this study is not far from the inner courtyard, and the time for a stick of incense can be reached, looking at the courtyard door of the study from a distance, Cheng Fu breathed a sigh of relief: "The front is the prince's study, princess Niangniang, do you need to go and see it first?" ”
"No, let's take a look at the other rooms in the study first." It is said that it is a study, but in fact, the yard is quite large, and there are three bright and bright rooms in the middle, which is a place to entertain guests. The east chamber is the study room of the Eight Classics, which is also the third room, with bookshelves in the rooms on both sides, and the room in the middle is a bookcase or something. The west wing is also three rooms, with a bedroom on the very edge, then a warm pavilion, and then a bathroom.
In the back are three small houses, which are about where Chengfu and them live on weekdays.
Jiao Wanwan walked around these rooms, touched the bedding in the bedroom or something, then looked at the teacups and teapots, and then looked at the Duobao Pavilion. The things placed on it are much more precious than those on the main courtyard. On the side of the main courtyard, there are some porcelain ornaments, and there are many antiques here.
It is the paintings on the wall, which are more stylish than those on the main courtyard, and the ones on the main courtyard are either rich peonies or small bridges and flowing water, and the ones on this side are strange mountains and dangerous peaks, plum orchids, bamboo chrysanthemums, etc.
As he was looking up at the paintings hanging in the hall, he heard someone at the door ask, "Is it still in your eyes?" ”
As soon as I turned around, I saw the four princes standing at the door with a smile, bathed in the sun, which made people shine again. Jiao Wanwan took two steps forward: "Why are you here?" Didn't Chengfu say, are you writing excerpts? ”
"I can always detect people entering the study." Zhao Defang said with a smile, also entered the door, and clicked on the calligraphy and painting on the wall: "Can it still be in your eyes?" What do you think? ”
Jiao Wanwan blinked, I can't draw but we can look at it, this is a strong point, just like the analytical verses, even if you can't understand it, you can forcibly say a little truth, not to mention, this painting is more intuitive than ancient poems.
"If you like it, I'll give you a pair when you get back." Jiao Wanwan said a lot, but the fourth prince only said this, and then turned sideways slightly, signaling Jiao Wanwan to come out with him: "Come here now, but what's the matter?" ”
"Breakfast is useless, I'm here to find you for breakfast." Jiao Wan said hurriedly, and said with a smile: "Lang Jun has something important to deal with?" If there is, I won't bother Lang Jun much, and I'll go back by myself after breakfast. If not, can Lang Jun accompany me for a walk around the house later? lest I go down the wrong path in my own house in the future. ”
Zhao Defang glanced at her and nodded: "Then it's breakfast, I'll walk with you." ”
