139. Private meetings

Shen Jingzhong turned over and dismounted, threw the horsewhip, threw it to the elder next to him, handed over the waist card, and walked to the East Palace.

In the main hall of the East Palace, on the soft collapse of the window, the prince leaned on the soft pillow, with a thin quilt on his legs, holding a book in his hand, his eyes drooped, and the room was silent.

A small chamberlain at the door bowed his body, and lightly came to a stop about five steps in front of the prince, and said softly in a suppressed voice:

"Your Highness, Shen Guogong is here, waiting outside."

"Huh?" The prince's eyes were raised, his ink-colored eyes were heavy, but he was smiling, and his voice was brisk,

"Please."

"Yes!"

The chamberlain hurriedly turned around and went out to spread the word. After a moment, Shen Jingzhong stepped into the door, raised his eyes, walked straight to the window, leaned over and saluted, and asked Ann to ask.

"Your Highness is well."

"Chunfeng, no need to be polite."

As he spoke, he motioned for Shen Jing to sit on the chair opposite, smiling and gossiping.

"Why don't you bring Bao'er Belle, I don't see you for so many days, I'm quite worried."

Belle has always been sweet-mouthed, and she is the most coaxing, calling "Uncle Beauty" one by one, and he can't forget it.

Shen Jingzhong heard this, but his mind was filled with the image of his daughter practicing calligraphy with a basin, and he didn't forget to pull his reluctant son to accompany him, the corners of his mouth twitched, and his face was a little inexplicable.

"I got two horses from His Highness a few days ago, and the two children were crazy, and these days I want to ask the two of them to practice calligraphy and collect their hearts, and I don't tell them to go out much."

The prince raised his eyebrows and smiled,

"Belle was punished?"

For Belle, practicing calligraphy is equivalent to being punished, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has this question.

Shen Jingzhong didn't hide it, he only picked and picked the events of that day, and then said helplessly:

"Belle's temperament is getting wilder and wilder, this place is no better than the north, if Belle doesn't change her temperament, she will always suffer, this kid ...... It's also too much trouble outside, and all the ideas are hit on the child, why is Belle a person who eats gas? Don't make a fuss out to vent your anger, don't mention that there is a treasure behind her as a backer...... Belle dared to kill the wild boar, and Bao'er had already handed over the knife, and the two protected each other...... It's also sadly tight. β€œ

His family's Bao'er is precocious, and he usually looks at it quietly, but he likes to ponder and ponder the things he has seen in his little head, and he knows that he asks his own Lao Tzu in private, and he doesn't know how many tricks he has opened in his heart, and the prince has also watched him grow up since he was a child, so he doesn't have to hide it.

Sure enough, the prince smiled and said:

"What's this, you too, just say it a little, but don't punish it, Belle's little girl's family, it should be pampered, besides, now it doesn't hurt that Belle's walk sideways in Beijing, I like her fresh nature."

took the tea that Shen Jing poured heavily, lowered his head and took a sip, and continued:

"Bao'er, when it's time to go to school, come to the palace school."

Shen Jingzhong's eyes moved, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that the prince's smile remained unchanged, and he was still not in a hurry, and said:

"If Belle is willing, come along. It's nice for the two children to sit together. ”

Shen Jingzhong smiled: "This is good, they have entered the school, and the good students can learn some rules, and their temperament can be more restrained." It's just two years, and let them make a fuss first, so that they know that the hard days are ahead! ”

After that, he glanced at the prince and smiled.

That's it.

Back home, Shen respectfully followed Agarwood Touxin'er. Agarwood was full of worries and couldn't help asking:

"Gong Xueli? With those princes and grandchildren? Are they all little ancestors, if the child is wronged, we can only bear it? ”

Don't look at children, there are clear classes inside! When her children enter the palace, those princes and grandchildren, none of them have a low status, if they have to let their children bow their heads and be a follower, what faction is there, so that the children are not pleasing on both sides, but they are not very offended?

Shen Jingzhong naturally understood this, put his arm around Agarwood's shoulders, walked into the garden, asked the subordinates to step back a little, and the two talked to themselves.

"I've considered everything you said, but it's just a matter of weighing the weight, it's better to let Bao'er Belle go to the palace to study, firstly, the prince can rest assured, and secondly, it is better to plan for the future...... Besides, with Bao'er's identity, it is good to know the temperament of everyone in the palace earlier...... Let's pick a few people to follow Bao'er Belle, no matter the girl boy, you have to know some kung fu, Belle has another mother-in-law next to her, Mama Mai, do you remember? β€œ

Agarwood's eyes lit up, and she nodded busily,

"Remember, remember, how can I not remember, Mama Mai treated me very well, I thought that Mama Mai's grade is getting older and older, and I will send someone to pick her up and enjoy Qingfu, I don't want Mama Mai to stay in the border city for a long time, I don't want to move the place, and if there is a bad one on the road, wouldn't it be bad. I didn't mention it again. ”

During the New Year's Festival, I sent a carload of medicinal supplements to the past, just hoping that Mama Mai would be well-being.

Shen Jing smiled and said:

"She has a niece daughter, who came out of the palace in the early years, and there was a fiancΓ© in front of her who didn't want to wait for her because of the time, so he wrapped her money to marry a wife and have children, so that she was gone...... She's the best at all kinds of spices, and she's a little more familiar with medicine and poison, so I'm thinking about putting her next to Belle and being a housekeeper, what do you think? ”

This is a talent, it's rare to be tight, such a person stays with her daughter, and she feels a lot more at ease when she walks outside.

"Naturally, it's good."

Shen Jingzhong smiled and said: "Then you come out to see her, and by the way, you will knock it out, and only let her be wholeheartedly the main, and the Shen family will be free to care for the elderly in the future." ”

Agarwood nodded understandingly, "I know, I'll call her in when I go back, and I have to let Belle take a look." ”

"Okay, you can arrange it yourself."

#########################################################################################

Early the next morning, after serving Shen Jingzhong and going out, Agarwood sent someone to pick up Mama Mai in the other courtyard.

As soon as the two met and spoke, Agarwood was very satisfied, summoned Belle, held her in her arms, pointed to Mama Wheat, and said with a smile:

"This is Mama Mai, she will be your housekeeper Mama in the future, you go and see her."

As he spoke, he gently pushed his daughter.

There are some things that should be watched by my daughter slowly practice.

Belle looked at Mama Mai curiously, looked at the tall and thin woman in front of her with a stern face, her dark eyes rolled, and then she showed a sweet smile, stepped forward and saluted, and said crisply:

"Hello Mama, I'm Belle, Mama will accompany me in the future, I'll be good to Mama."

Childlike words, soft and glutinous voice listened to Mama Mai's ears, raised her eyes to Belle's smiling little face, somehow, her heart softened, and she bowed, seeing that Belle avoided only half a salute, the last trace of hesitation in her heart also went.

She has never seen anything in her life, and the master who is serving is most afraid of not being able to support the wall without brains, the noble girl is arrogant, and she is afraid of this errand.

"The girl is well."

Belle giggled a few times and blinked quirkily,

"Mama is okay too!"

Agarwood squinted, the smile in her eyes flowed, Mama Mai saw the ceremony, that is, she recognized the master, she finally let go of a worry.

Just as he was about to say something detailed, someone outside spread the word, so Agarwood asked the kitchen to prepare a table for Mama Mai to wash her face, and asked Mama Mai to go to Belle's house to get familiar with it, and listen to the reply of the next person.

But it was Shen Jing who sent someone back to report the news, saying that there was a social meeting outside, and he would not come to eat at noon.

Shen Shen nodded, rewarded the long follower of the report, and said with a smile;

"Go ahead, I see."

While Er Yuan'er looked at Chang Sui, thought about it, and finally said:

"Madam, the Su family's business...... I heard that Mrs. Su's body is not good, and Miss Su's maid is extremely filial, and she faints crying, and now everyone outside is talking about Miss Su's good son! β€œ

Agarwood put a finger against the corner of her forehead and exhaled slowly,

"Mrs. Su is a person who understands, but it's a pity that she has a motherly heart."

There is no impermeable wall in the world, especially when the Su family still wants to dig into her corner, she naturally can't help but pay attention to the movements inside.

I know almost everything I want to know, but poor Mrs. Su has become a villain, but she has not been able to pull back her daughter's ambitions.

It seems that talented women also love glory and wealth, brocade clothes and food!

Yuan'er pursed her lips, and since she knocked on the door and entered the door, she didn't look down on this talented Su girl, so she said coldly at this moment:

"Although the Su family is a university scholar, they say kiss to the daughters of the family, and those who are selected are those families, not to mention the nobles, the concubines in the family have a lot of rooms, and it is not good, but if you choose the children of the poor family, you have to slowly get up from the wife of the people, that is, you have entered the Jinshi, and you only have to have a county order to release it, no matter how you can make a living, it is very rare to even have four or five products for more than ten years, not to mention the brocade clothes and silk Luo, wearing gold and silver, but you can't afford it. Miss Su is also a lover of poetry, songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but these things are the most burned silver, and when you are idle for a painting, you have to fold it for three or five years, speaking up, where can it be compared to a ready-made wife, with the identity of the master, the fate is also there, no wonder Miss Su will not let go, the wealth of the sky is in front of her, she is not tempted to blame......"

Agarwood glanced at the indignant Yuan'er, and said with a smile:

"What you know, can people not think clearly? Mrs. Su is a clear person who can see clearly, but what can her daughter do if she is disobedient? Isn't it an ignorant little girl? What you should know, what you don't know, what to do, what to do, what to do? How can everything be done according to Mrs. Sue's wishes? ”

The great benefits are in front of you, and it is not surprising that Su Cainu is greedy, but she has to hold a high shelf, but it is despised by people!

If you want to take a shortcut, you have to be shameless, but Su Cainu wants both face and fame, and she also wants to hug the benefits of her arms...... All the benefits of the world let her take it all by herself?

God can't even see it!

It's not God's illegitimate daughter, she wants to be a biao and wants to set up a memorial arch, she is shameless!

After thinking about it again, Agarwood waved his hand, lacking interest,

"That's it, no matter what she is, your grandfather has said that he will deal with it, let's just watch."

Speaking of which, today is the first day, and there is still one day, I don't know what Shen Jingzhong plans to do?

But he said, outside the Yingxiang Building.

Shen Jing picked up the hem of his clothes, got out of the carriage, and the little guy waiting at the door immediately greeted him with a smile on his face, saluted and said with a smile:

"Grandpa Guo, you are well. We're waiting for you upstairs, please come on. ”

Shen Jingzhong put his hands behind his back, his face was pale, his eyes narrowed slightly, he glanced at the little guy, and the corner of his eye swept over an inconspicuous carriage across the street, and he retracted his gaze in an instant.

But he was not in a hurry to enter the door, but gossiped to the little guy with great interest.

"Are you Lord Wu's little servant? It's not the other in the past, why did I change you today? ”

The little girl's eyes flickered, and he grinned flatteringly,

"Grandpa Guo has a good memory, he was not a villain in the past, it was Changxing who followed him, but the old lady at home was not happy, and the old lady at home was not happy, so he asked Changxin to find medicinal materials for the old lady, and let the little one do Changxing's errand."

Shen Jing let out a "hmm", nodded, and stood still.

The little guy was anxious in his heart, and he couldn't help but persuade again,

"Master, it's not too early, please go inside, and the little one will lead the way with you."

Shen Jingzhong glanced at the little guy lightly, only to make the little guy tremble, and the cold sweat flowed, but he saw Shen Jingzhong walking inside,

"Let's go! @”

went up to the second floor, standing at the door of the private room, the little guy retreated, bent down and smiled,

"Master, this is the room, the little one is waiting below."

As he spoke, he turned around and wanted to run, but after two steps, he suddenly stopped.

There was a tall man standing in the stairwell, the little man's eyes were rolling straight and boneless, this person he had just met, the person who followed Shen Guogong.

I was shocked, and the little guy was sweating.

Shen Jingzhong made a look, the guard slipped back the little guy, Shen Jingzhong was not in a hurry to go in, only asked the little guy lightly,

"You're a clever one, how many words do I ask you?" 、

The little girl's legs and feet are weak, and his voice is a little unsteady.

"Lord, grandfather, you say, small, small, ......"

Shen Jingzhong narrowed his eyes coldly, and his tone was light,

"I seem to remember that the Wu family has an in-law, and the eldest girl in the house, Xu's family, is surnamed Su?"

The little girl's eyelids trembled, and his voice trembled,

"Yes and no...... Yes, yes......"

Shen Jingzhong smiled, and then his face was cold,

"Master Su's eldest son, but your father's son-in-law?"

The little girl's legs were weak, and he knelt on the ground with a bang, and he didn't dare to raise his head.

"Lord, lord, please, please......"

Shen Jingzhong's voice became more and more gloomy, "Let me ask you again, is it really your grandfather in this house?" ”

Hearing these words in the ears of the little maid is like a talisman, and the whole body trembles like chaff,

"Ask for ...... Please, little, little ......"

Now, the little guy knows very well that he is afraid that he will have no way to live.

Shen Jingzhong stood at the top of the stairs, there was silence around him, and suddenly heard a commotion below, he couldn't help frowning, and then his heart moved, and he looked at the door of the private room inexplicably, squatted down slightly, hooked the corners of his lips, and stared straight at the little guy,

"Do you want to live?"

The little guy was stunned for a moment, and then nodded again and again in a panic, as if grasping the last straw.

"Think, think, master, what you command is ......"

Shen Jingzhong smiled slightly, hooked his fingers, "Come here with your ears!" ”

#################################################################################

At noon, it was a time to be sleepy, and Agarwood squinted her eyes and took a nap.

Yuan'er lifted the hem of her skirt and rushed all the way to the bed, snorting and panting, bending over her waist, her chest lying together.

Agarwood opened her eyes helplessly, sat up with support,

"What's wrong with you? What's going on? β€œ

Yuan'er's face was flushed, his hands waved a few times in the air, he jumped a few times full of excitement, and it was easy to catch his breath, grinning, and said quickly:

"Mrs., Mrs., you don't know, the woman of the Su family is ...... It's Su Cainu, she has a personal meeting with people, and now it's crazy outside, only saying that the Su family is not authentic, and she wants to take our master as a big wrong! ”
