Chapter 263: Entering Beijing
Yonghe, the largest river in Daxia, is more than 6,000 kilometers long, dividing the entire Daxia into two, convecting from north to south, becoming the hub of Daxia, so it is the mother river of Daxia.
At this time, the winter snow has not yet melted, and the scenery on both sides of the strait is not green trees, but it is also snow-capped, like a silver wrap, which has a unique taste.
From south to north, the river was calm, a huge palace boat was sailing north on the river, and a palace beauty wearing a heavy ratskin cloak stood on the deck, her hair slightly scattered by the river breeze.
Someone came hurrying forward, and stepped forward to complain to the woman: "Young lady, why did you come here to blow the cold wind again?" Hurry up and go in with the slaves and maids, if the grandmother knows, maybe the slaves and maids will have a good meal! ”
The woman turned her head and smiled, it was Qin Ruwei, and said, "Yang Liu, you are becoming more and more like an old hen, and I just think it's boring inside, so I came out to breathe." ”
Yang Liu sneered: "It's been on this ship for so many days, you have to come here every day to stand once, the slave doesn't know, what is there to blow in this cold wind." ”
"Okay willow, isn't this really stuffy, what's the point of staying in the cabin every day? Why don't you come here and take a look at the scenery? Qin Ruwei said with a smile, but she also took her hand and walked towards the cabin step by step.
The huge cabin is also elegantly furnished, with a charcoal basin in the cabin, and Princess Ren is crooked on the couch listening to the little lord read.
"Auntie." The little county lord flew over, and Qin Ruwei hurriedly opened her hand to stop her; "Slow down, fall carefully, this is on the boat, what if you shake and fall?"
The little county lord grinned and hugged her neck and took a sip, "Rui'er is not afraid. ”
Qin Ruwei carried her to the couch and put her down, and Princess Ren said with a smile: "She is close to you, is there a blood relationship." ”
"Rui'er is smart and cute, and everyone is happy." Qin Ruwei smiled lightly.
Princess Ren asked the nurse to carry Rui'er to the back to rest, and then looked at her again: "This is back from the deck again?" ”
Qin Ruwei nodded and said, "It's stuffy like this, go out and catch your breath." ”
"And on this day, tomorrow will already be at the Shangjing wharf." Princess Nishi covered her mouth and smiled.
The holy will is to let Princess Ren take Qin Ruwei to Beijing to congratulate the concubine Niangniang on her birthday, because the concubine Qianqiu is in mid-February, so before the year has passed, Qin Ruwei followed Princess Ren into Beijing together.
Xu is getting closer to the capital, the more nervous she becomes, and the feeling is always inexplicable, and she is getting more and more depressed.
And this trip to Beijing, Zhuang Churan has a public office, so he can't accompany her, so Qin Ruwei herself took Mama Gong and a few maids and Zhao Tiezhu into Beijing together.
Old Madam Zhuang wanted to follow to see it, but Qin Ruwei left, and someone in the house was always in charge, and Princess Ren also said lightly that the road was far away, and this trip was also in a hurry, so it could be regarded as a vague refusal to take her.
Old Madam Zhuang didn't like it in her heart, but she didn't dare to say a word, she vaguely knew that Qin Ruwei would go to Beijing and come back this time, I was afraid that it would be completely different!
Qin Ruwei herself also knows what this trip to Beijing represents, who she will face, no matter how bold she is, she can't help but feel a little apprehensive at this time.
Shangjing is the place where Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the powerful are running all over the streets, those big families, who is not in their hearts a thousand times? She was afraid that one would accidentally fall into other people's ways and put her little life into it!
"Don't worry, you are the daughter of the eldest aunt, and my father respected the eldest aunt very much, and he will protect you if he is reasonable, so you don't have to be cautious about it, but it makes people look down on it." Princess Ren seemed to see that she was worried, and said earnestly: "You just need to remember that once your identity is restored, you will be the county lord of the second grade, the daughter of the eldest princess, and the niece of your father's emperor. Wei'er, the county lord, also represents the identity of the royal family, do you understand? ”
Qin Ruwei's heart sank, Princess Ren was reminding her that the county lord also represents the royal face, if she is virtuous or insults the face of the royal family, even if she is the emperor's niece, she will be disliked, an unfavored county lord, an orphan, and a lost folk for more than ten years, if she is rejected by the emperor, then no one will look down on her!
said that it was on the face of the county lord, but in fact, it was also on the face of the emperor.
And Qin Ruwei is still the daughter of the eldest princess, the eldest princess has a noble status, resolute and resolute, if she is stingy, wouldn't she also lose the face of the eldest princess?
Thinking of this, Qin Ruwei bowed to her gratefully and said, "Thank you sister-in-law for mentioning it." ”
Princess Ren helped her and said: "You are the prince's cousin, I will protect you, although I have known you for a short time, but I also know that you are a dignified and generous temperament, and your every move is also full of everyone's spirit. ”
Qin Ruwei nodded, not only her, but even the maids around her, the rules and etiquette were also taught to rise to a higher level.
Mama Gong was afraid that Qin Ruwei would be looked down upon, but in fact, she had already mentioned her rules and etiquette, if Qin Ruwei was just restrained and generous in the past, now, after Mama Gong's teaching, every smile and every move is even more dignified and decent, and she is more and more graceful and noble. It can also be said that in the past, Qin Ruwei was covered with light, but now once it is sculpted, it is a radiant jade.
The pearl left in the sea will eventually be returned one day.
"Mama Gong is already serving the eldest princess to grow up, and she is a fourth-grade palace rank, with her by your side, you are stronger." Princess Ren said: "It's just that Mama has been gone for nearly 20 years, and the personnel in Beijing have already changed several times, so next, I want to tell you about the big and small things in Beijing." ”
As soon as Princess Ren raised her hand, Mama Fan took a thick roster and sent it, Princess Ren took it and handed it to Qin Ruwei and said: "This roster is what I heard and saw at home when I was a girl, and then I became Princess Ren, and in the past few years, it has added and decreased a lot, if you exclude the past year, it will not be too far behind, you can take a look, it is good to understand a thing or two, and it is good to have a bottom in your heart, if you don't know everything, come and ask me." ”
When Qin Ruwei heard this, she suddenly held this heavy roster as if she had a treasure, and said gratefully: "How can you thank your sister-in-law?" ”
Having such a roster is like a computer sent to you, and you want to start someone's house, even if you don't know the depths, it's still a hundred times better than not knowing at all.
"Since ancient times, the big families have used marriage to consolidate the status of the family, which is also a rule that is not famous, just like a big tree, branch after branch, leaf after leaf, leading the whole body. Therefore, this marriage is all watery, and you can also take a closer look, who is in-law with whom, and even whose young lady's maid is whose little cousin, it is extremely important. Sometimes, don't underestimate the little people, and many times, the little people are more likely to change the game. Princess Ren said slowly.
Qin Ruwei listened carefully, nodded in agreement from time to time, Princess Ren's move was undoubtedly teaching her a valuable lesson, and it would be very beneficial for her to move around the elite circle in the future.
It wasn't until lunch that Qin Ruwei returned to her room with the thick roster, sat down and opened it, the font was written in hairpin letters, what kind of people, what people are in it, what special hobbies do the main characters have, Qin Ruwei couldn't help but be secretly shocked, such a roster is so precious and useful.
"What's this?" Mama Gong came in with a tray, and when she saw her flipping through a roster, she couldn't help asking.
Qin Ruwei repeated Princess Ren's words.
Mama Gong took the roster and looked at it, and said: "It's hard to believe that she is a careful person, with her protecting you, Mama is also relieved, and you must also remember her goodness." ”
Qin Ruwei nodded and said, "Wei'er has it in mind. ”
Mama Gong nodded, flipped through it a few times, and returned it to her, saying, "I have also been away from Beijing for nearly 20 years, and this person has changed a lot, and some of them can't be named." ”
Qin Ruwei heard about her loneliness and said, "If Mama doesn't feel sleepy, you might as well sit down too, I said you can listen to it?" You have the knowledge, and there are some things that you know better than I do. ”
Mama Gong thought about it, so she sat down immediately, Qin Ruwei asked Yang Liu to bring refreshments, and the master and servant looked at the roster, and Yang Liu was also waiting on the side, and she also listened.
And with Mama Gong explaining on the side, it was easier than groping by herself, and Qin Ruwei's mind immediately clearly formed a huge network of relationships in Beijing.
In the early morning of the second day, I really arrived at the pier of Shangjing, but this has not yet arrived in the capital, and it will take two days to take a carriage to get to Beijing.
Qin Ruwei followed Princess Ren off the boat, and saw a team of guards waiting at the dock, and when she saw Princess Ren's righteousness, she greeted her and led Princess Ren and her party to the carriage they were waiting for.
Qin Ruwei and Mama Gong and Yang Liu took a carriage, and the rest of the maids and maids were in other carriages, and rushed to Shangjing.
The sound of rolling wheels is rolling, after sitting on the boat for more than ten days, Qin Ruwei has long been bored, and now sitting in the carriage, it is an unseen scenery, and she wanted to lift the curtain several times to look at the second, but she was glared back by Mama Gong, and later saw that she was really stuffy, so she lifted a little curtain to take a look.
I stopped and walked all the way at the post station, and finally at the end of the fourth day, Qin Ruwei saw the wide gate of Shangjing, and her chest jumped up involuntarily.
"County Lord, this is Shangjing." Mama Gong's eyes were slightly red and she looked at Qin Ruwei and said, "It's been twenty years, and you're finally back." ”
Qin Ruwei saw that the soldiers guarding the city wall were standing upright, there were many luxurious carriages entering and leaving the city gate, and the people were bustling, and there was a prosperous atmosphere everywhere, and she couldn't help but burst into tears.
Yes, after twenty years, she is finally back! R1154
