14. The Eldest Princess's Mansion
The Langya Eldest Princess's Mansion is located in Changping Street, which is inhabited by all royal families, so it is privately known as Longfeng Street.
The county lord of Shuyang was sitting in the car with Jiang Yaoguang in his arms, and suddenly felt that the carriage slowly stopped, opened the curtain and asked Jiang Jin outside the window, "What's wrong?" ”
Jiang Jin, who was riding on the horse, said in a warm voice, "In front of you is the sedan chair of the Seventh Princess, let them go first." "The Seventh Princess, titled Taining, and King Duan are both descendants.
Lord Shuyang nodded.
Jiang Jin lowered his head and stretched out a finger to flick Jiang Yaoguang's hand, "It's windy today, be careful of catching a cold." ”
The lord of Shuyang County bowed his head and lowered the curtains.
When the seventh princess learned that it was Jiang Jin and the county lord of Shuyang, she stopped the sedan chair to say hello, and said with a smile through the window, "It turned out to be my cousin, my cousin is going to see my aunt?" ”
The county lord of Shuyang said with a smile, "Exactly." ”
The seventh princess glanced at Jiang Jin next to the car, covered her mouth and chuckled, "Cousin is really a blessing, my brother-in-law has just come back from the front line and accompanied you back to your parents' house to visit." ”
"It's not good to be a colt, no one in the capital knows, and the colt is obedient to you."
The corners of the seventh princess's mouth rose, she knew that some people said that horses are afraid of wives like tigers, but so what, this kind of thing, such as people drinking water and knowing themselves.
The seventh princess's beautiful eyes turned, "I heard that the crown princess invited many sisters to the palace to enjoy the cherry blossoms, but we have no eyes." I'd like to see it, but unfortunately the princess didn't give me the next post. "Mu Lei is dead, the affairs of the Mu family are not over, the Dali rebellion has not been quelled before, and the prince and his people have not returned to the court, so everyone is not pressing. Now those who should be rewarded have been rewarded, and there are people in the early dynasty today who are the prince of ginseng and the Mu family. The crown princess invited people to enjoy the cherry blossoms, it was a banquet, there was no good banquet, begging for someone!
The county lord of Shuyang smiled and did not answer. If you want her to say that this is indeed the negligence of the crown princess, the prince and King Duan have not torn their faces for a day, so the rules have to be done enough. As a younger sister, the seventh princess is famous for being active and lively, the crown princess is in the harem, and she is not allowed to invite a woman, but can only invite the royal family of the clan, and it is rude to invite most of the princesses and princesses to pull down the seventh princess.
The seventh princess sighed once, "I, who was pulled down, can only bother the fifth sister-in-law, fortunately, the cherry blossoms in Duanwang's Mansion are also blooming, if my cousin wants to go together, it is better to invite my aunt too." ”
"I have received the beauty of the seventh cousin on behalf of Ah Niang, but there are still some things in Ah Niang today, and I am afraid that I will not be able to go."
The seventh princess regretted, "That's a pity, another day my aunt and cousin will be free, and I will post to you again." ”
The county lord of Shuyang responded with a smile.
"Then I won't delay my cousin's trip, my cousin will ask my aunt and uncle for peace on my behalf, and I'll come to the door another day to say goodbye."
"A-Niang must be happy to know your heart." The main road of Shuyang County.
After the four county lords lowered the curtain, the smile on their faces disappeared.
Cuiyu, the maid in the carriage, handed over a cup of honey and red date tea and stepped forward, thinking about the master's thoughts and said, "The slave maid saw that the lord of Shuyang County had not gone to the palace, this was a thought to draw a way with the East Palace!" ”
"I think so," the Seventh Princess took a sip of tea, "But how can there be such a good thing, the Jiang family has always obeyed the emperor's orders, and the Jiang family will not support others if the father protects the prince for a day." Cousin Shuyang refused to go to the banquet, because she was afraid of the princess, the princess was self-righteous and couldn't hold her breath, something happened to her mother's family, this must be a hurry, seeing Cousin Shuyang, she had to ask someone to help her mother's family, is Mu Lei doing personnel? If not, the crown princess will not choose to speak, make trouble, and spread it, and it will be a contradiction between the Jiang family and the East Palace in the eyes of outsiders. ”
"That's really difficult to be the lord of Shuyang, but I'm afraid that the lord of Shuyang will avoid it, and I will still be remembered by the princess."
The Seventh Princess turned the teacup and smiled happily, "That's really good." With the princess's temperament, this is really uncertain, she wishes that the crown princess would chill the hearts of the people, and it is best to let her father be disappointed in the East Palace.
Mu was chosen by the prince himself, at that time the prince was just an ordinary prince, and the emperor naturally would not interfere too much, if it weren't for the untimely death of the eldest brother, which round would get her carried away. However, if the eldest brother is still there, King Duan will naturally not have the intention of winning the heir, and he really can't compete, but now this prince, in addition to the original concubine, is comparable to his brother.
When the Jiang family and his party arrived at the eldest princess's mansion, the Yin family was waiting at the second gate in person, and the lord of Shuyang County saw her and said, "It's not the first time I've come, so why don't you wait here." ”
Yin Shi lowered his head and looked at Jiang Yaoguang who was wrapped in swaddling clothes, looking a little uncomfortable. A while ago, the eldest princess of Langya said that she had decided on Jiang Yaoguang and Zheng Jin, and the Yin family had no opinion on Jiang Yaoguang, and there was no dirt between her and the lord of Shuyang, and the Jiang family had nothing to say, but she had verbally promised her sister to hire her niece Shen Jiayu as her daughter-in-law as early as three years ago.
The eldest sister met someone unladylike, and only had a daughter after marriage, and when she was dying, she was worried that her daughter would be tortured by her husband's family, so she entrusted her daughter to Yin's family.
Afterwards, she was worried, she crossed her husband's in-laws to set her son's marriage, and it was her niece who was decided, and the Shen family was a little lower, so she was at a loss. Yin's cowardice, thinking that it would be too late for Jiayu to wait for Jiayu to get out of her mother's filial piety, and when the filial piety period was over, she wanted Jiayu to vote for the eldest princess's liking, so she took her niece over from time to time to live, and dragged it until the eldest princess of Langya spoke, I have to say.
The eldest princess of Langya's face changed at that time, under the turn of Zheng Bachelor and Zheng Xizhe, this family business passed the bright road, but she was really snubbed by the eldest princess for a while, and the Yin family knew that she was at a loss, and she didn't dare to complain. This time, I went out to welcome the second gate with the intention of apologizing to the lord of Shuyang County.
Yin pursed the corners of his mouth, "I haven't seen my sister come for a long time, so I invited myself to greet her." ”
The county lord of Shuyang took Yin's hand and walked inside, "It's hard to be afraid that I'll get lost." ”
Yin Shi was relieved to see that her expression was as usual.
The county lord of Shuyang saw it in his eyes and smiled. It's a foregone conclusion, her sister-in-law is useless to talk too much, and she doesn't have to make the house restless. Yin's want to hire his niece as his daughter-in-law, which is not too much. To put it unlucky, if it was the children of the philosopher who suffered, she would also move the same mind, Yin's mistake was to cut first and then play, and she was still forced to play again.
After entering the main house, the eldest princess of Langya snatched Jiang Yaoguang from the nurse before speaking, "Ah Jin is in good spirits, he is not injured outside, right?" ”
Jiang Jin said, "I'm fine, and my mother-in-law is worried about me." ”
The county lord of Shuyang answered, "He brought some things over from the south, do you want to take a look at Ah Niang and her younger siblings?" ”
The eldest princess of Langya smiled, "It's hard for you to have a heart, so let's take a look!" "As a sister who has a good relationship with the emperor, Princess Langya has never lacked good things here, and she is happy with her son-in-law's heart.
The eldest princess of Langya asked her son-in-law about the situation outside, and then said to Jiang Jin, "Your father-in-law and Xizhe are in the study, you go over, let's discuss those things, I think you are not interested in listening to them." "Although today is not a day off, the father and son of the Zheng family are at home, and the two of them have a quiet and noble official position, and they do not need to go to the court to work. Zheng Xizhe follows his father and has no intention of pursuing an economic career, the difference is that Zhen is good at passing on the scriptures, and Zhen Xi is good at Danqing.
Jiang Jin smiled and retired.
The maid placed boxes and boxes of jewels on the table, and all kinds of gemstones, pearls, and porcelain were dazzling, and the mere look at them was extraordinary.
Yin Shi was stunned, Jiang Jin came back from a battle, and immediately brought so many jewelry, the origin of these things is obvious. I have often heard people say that Xungui's Wanguan family wealth is war money, and the way from it is not so open, I never expected Jiang Jin to be like this. Yin's mind was racing, and some came out of his face.
The eldest princess of Langya is old and sophisticated, and after a little thought, she understands that there are people who will take advantage of the war to rob and rob the local heroes who are rich and unkind, and the scum is not so particular, but there are some generals who disdain to do this.
There is also a word in this world called loot, the enemy has been cut down by you, and his treasury will not disappear, this is the big head. Part of it is handed over, part of it is rewarded to subordinates, and there are some heads and brains to divide it, this is an unspoken rule, and when you fight, you can pin your head to your waist, and there is no benefit who is willing to work hard. These can't be said blatantly, but they can be done openly.
"You go to the kitchen and see how the dishes are doing? Don't be bad for that fish. The eldest princess of Langya smiled and said to the lord of Shuyang County, "This year is half a month later than last year's tribute, and it was only delivered this morning, haven't you tasted it yet?" ”
Yin's face was stunned, knowing that he had been seen through by his mother-in-law, he lowered his eyes worriedly, and retreated.
The county lord of Shuyang glanced at the Yin family quietly, and said, "I don't want to come here for lunch, it's hard to have a meal at home before going out." "Because she loves to eat this fish, every year Zhenguo Gong can get a lot, and someone returned to her this morning.
"This chef is newly hired, and he is good at making fish, you and Ah Qin like to eat these, you can taste them later, and if you agree, you will take them back."
The lord of Shuyang County said, "Ah Niang stays, I just have a reason to take Ah Qin to fight the autumn wind." ”
The eldest princess of Langya pinched her face, "Where have I wronged you, I talk like a broken house." ”
The county lord of Shuyang leaned back, "Your granddaughter is still here, A-Niang has to save some face for me." ”
The eldest princess of Langya lowered her head and met Jiang Yaoguang, whose eyes were wide, "Let's not learn from your mother." ”
Jiang Yaoguang grinned at her.
"Your brother and sister don't know much, I'll understand it when I look back and say a few words, don't worry about it." The eldest princess of Langya said coldly, she only has a son and a daughter, and she doesn't want to have an estrangement between her sister and brother.
The county lord of Shuyang smiled, "A-Niang is too careful, I know my brother and sister, she is from a scholarly family, she is also an elegant person, how do you know these twists and turns." "Compared with the honey-bellied sword, a simple person like the Yin family is quite good.
The eldest princess of Langya sighed, "Yes, they are all elegant people!" "Yin's father is a talented son, Yin's brother is also famous, and Yin's is a talented girl. When this daughter-in-law entered the door, the eldest princess of Langya had a headache, and she took it hand in hand for a few years, and finally became a bit of a housewife.
A family of five, husband, son and daughter-in-law are all immortal characters who do not eat fireworks in the world, the eldest princess of Langya is unwilling to ask her grandson to be a fairy again, the Zheng family is famous, but there is no real power, she is still good, if she is gone, I am afraid that she will be neglected. The gentleman invited by the eldest princess of Langya to her grandson is also pragmatic, rather than enlightening the talented son of the writer's husband, and plans to wait until he is five years old next year to send the emperor to the palace to go to school.
Seeing her depressed expression, the lord of Shuyang County picked out a pair of red jade bracelets from the box, "A-Niang's skin is white, it looks good with this?" ”
The eldest princess of Langya took it and took a look, the color was uniform and clear, "There are some good things in the south." Remembering the origin of this bracelet, he asked, "The crown princess also invited you into the palace?" ”
"I sent a post early yesterday morning, and I wanted to come back, so I pushed it."
The eldest princess of Langya nodded, "It's good, it's troublesome to go, how can the Mu family's affairs be touched, if she hadn't picked it up, how could the prince take Mu Lei, the prince, his ears are soft and his heart is soft." ”
That's not a good review. Jiang Yaoguang's ears moved, it was not the first time she had heard someone mention the prince in such a helpless tone, the eldest princess of Langya, Jiang Jin, and the county lord of Shuyang. This is really not a good sign, Jiang Yaoguang's brows furrowed.
When the eldest princess of Langya saw her funny appearance, her sorrow faded a little, and she rubbed her eyebrows and said, "Don't say it, don't say it, these bad things, let them worry about it." He picked a hairpin and dangled it in front of her, "Changsheng is growing up quickly, and your grandmother's good things are all for you, and you will be dressed up beautifully." ”
At the same time, King Wucheng, who was lightly armed, appeared on the outskirts of Beijing, but he did not rush into Beijing to meet the holy driver, but entered Qingquanzhuang.
