Chapter 45 Wooing

In the afternoon, Mrs. Zhang actually came to Yixiang Garden, Dong Xiaoyou heard about it, and hurriedly asked Biluo and Ginkgo to prepare refreshments to entertain her, this Mrs. Zhang has not taken the initiative to come in three months since Xu Rong married into the palace, and today the princess just came over the door, but I am afraid that it is not a good thing, Dong Xiaoyou thought so, and her heart was a little hairy.

Mrs. Zhang put on light makeup today, with a thin layer of fat powder on her face, a little cyan on her eyes, and a long skirt with apricot yellow plum blossom pattern and dark green embroidered edges, with a Lingyun bun on her head and a pale pink hosta, which matched her clothes very well. She is already young, and she looks even more beautiful when she dresses up like this today.

Dong Xiaoyou knelt on the edge of the couch upright, and bowed to Mrs. Zhang: "The slave family has seen Mrs. Zhang. "Since she has already been taught a lesson by the princess because of the title, in order to avoid telling the truth in the future, she will see any elder in this family in the future who calls themselves so good, just a title, she doesn't care.

Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but be a little surprised when she heard her call herself a "slave family": she had been married for more than three months, and she had never called herself so, and then she looked at the shallow five finger prints on her face, and she knew that she must have been taught a lesson by the princess when she went to greet the princess in the morning, and there was no joy or anger in her heart, she didn't like Xu Rong, and she didn't like the princess, it didn't matter if there were any contradictions between these two people, but she came today for a different purpose.

So, Mrs. Zhang walked over lovingly, gently stroked her cheek, and asked, "Was it that you were beaten by the princess in the morning?" ”

Dong Xiaoyou nodded, not daring to say anything, she was still not sure which side Mrs. Zhang was on.

Mrs. Zhang sat down and said with concern, "How can the princess be like this? It's only the first day, and I'm beating you like this, who can stand it? Look at your face is a little swollen, how can there be a problem with the girl's face, go back and ask the maid to bring you the bottle of good sherbet cream in my room, use that, and make sure your face will be fine tomorrow. ”

Dong Xiaoyou declined: "Thank you Mrs. Zhang, but the slave family is nothing, just a little mark, and it is not obvious." Presumably, it will be eliminated in a few days, and Mrs. Wo Bother wasting the fine ointment. As the saying goes: No merit is not lost, this Mrs. Zhang has always been lukewarm to her, and today she suddenly cared about herself, Dong Xiaoyou really didn't dare to accept her inexplicable care casually.

Mrs. Zhang smiled slightly: "Rong'er, don't be polite to me, we will count you in the house with the best appearance, so naturally you must take good care of it." And you were beaten by the princess, alas, if you show it to outsiders, you must say that the princess is too jealous, and you will laugh at our Wang family from now on only dare to listen to the princess and act. ”

Dong Xiaoyou pondered her words, looking at this, although Mrs. Zhang didn't like herself, she didn't want the princess to be in charge of the affairs of the palace in the future, so it seemed that she came over today to make a statement and join her front.

Seeing that she lowered her head and didn't speak, Mrs. Zhang thought that she was also sulking at the princess, so she continued: "Actually, although the princess is not bad, in terms of appearance, how can you compare to Rong'er?" If it weren't for her being a princess, I really wouldn't look down on it, our Wang family is one of the best families in Youzhou, even if he wants to move today, it's not something he can move, just a princess who marries into a family, don't really want to bring those temperaments in her palace to our house, Rong'er, don't you say? ”

Dong Xiaoyou nodded: "Filial piety comes first in everything, those of us who are wives and concubines, since we have entered the palace of the Wang family, we should focus on the lord and wife, and obey the words of the elders in everything." She didn't say anything, but she still obviously wanted to please Mrs. Zhang.

Mrs. Zhang listened, smiled and nodded: "Rong'er's words are reasonable, in the future, the princess will dare to bully you casually, you just have to tell me, I will protect you." ”

Dong Xiaoyou bowed again: "The slave family thanked Mrs. Zhang first." "She's not too stupid, since Mrs. Zhang said that she wanted to help herself, then she will thank her, as for whether she will help in the future, it's hard to say, there is already a precedent for Wang Yan, she can't trust anyone in this house. It's like a person who worships the Buddha, no one can say whether the Buddha is spiritual or not, but it is always a bow to worship.

Mrs. Zhang looked at her carefully for a while, and then asked, "Rong'er, you said that in the past few months, why hasn't your stomach moved at all?" ”

Dong Xiaoyou listened, his face was slightly red: "...... Xu is, Xu is slave family doesn't have that blessing to add a son to the Wang family. ”

Mrs. Zhang smiled and said, "You stupid boy, I still expect to be able to hold my grandson as soon as possible, you have to work hard." ”

Dong Xiaoyou was embarrassed: There is no need to think about this kind of thing at all, he has not had sex with Wang Xuanyuan at all, how can it be possible to give birth to a grandson to the Wang family? But she naturally didn't dare to pick it out, so she just said lightly: "It's all about fate, sometimes it's useless to force it." ”

When Mrs. Zhang heard this, she smiled innocently: "That's right, but now that the princess is here, if you can hurry up and give birth to a son before her, our Wang family will definitely not regard him as a concubine." This meant "commanding" her to give birth to a son before the princess gave birth...... Dong Xiaoyou listened, and her heart was on fire: Mrs. Zhang doesn't want the princess to gain power in this mansion in the future, so Mrs. Zhang will lose the authority to manage the affairs of the mansion, but Mrs. Zhang is unwilling to let go of power, and there is no need to use herself as a pawn for her, listen to her arrangement? Hmph, it's all a bunch of foxes, and I don't want to be a gun for someone for some reason. She probably guessed: if she has a boy, then it will definitely be raised by Mrs. Zhang, anyway, Mrs. Zhang is still young, and it is reasonable for the eldest son to raise her, so that even if the princess has another son, it is only the second, and Mrs. Zhang can still firmly hold the power of the royal family's inner house; If the princess has the eldest son, then naturally the princess will be in charge of the whole house, and it is impossible for her to have the courage to go to the princess to hold the child and raise it...... This kind of little Jiujiu, Dong Xiao feels disgusting when she thinks about it, Mrs. Zhang has calculated it into her stomach for such a little power, this kind of person is really vicious.

Dong Xiaoyou frowned, lowered her eyes and said, "Sister Princess is a blessed person, how can the slave family compare with her?" Maybe the princess sister will be ahead of me to add grandchildren to my wife. When she said this, she just wanted to remind her that she didn't want to get involved.

Mrs. Zhang's eyebrows rose, and a trace of anger flashed in her eyes, but her eyes immediately returned to calm: "Rong'er, don't be presumptuous, you are also a blessed person, and what I say to you is also for your future good." "Is it really for your own good? Dong Xiaoyou snorted lightly in her heart, she has been here for more than three months, and she has never formed a gang with any lady or aunt in the palace, doesn't she disdain to participate in these battles? didn't expect that he still couldn't escape Mrs. Zhang's clutches. On the surface, he said that he would stand up for his own good, who could know? It's not to keep her power, it's impossible for them to care about her own life and death.

Dong Xiaoyou immediately smiled lightly, and that smile was naturally a smile: "You have Mrs. Lao, you are so careful, Rong'er thanked Mrs. Rong'er." ”

Mrs. Zhang nodded, then lowered her voice again, leaned over and said to Dong Xiaoyou: "I have some medicine here, and I have some medicine to give birth to a child as soon as possible, and I will send it to you when I turn around, rest assured, I am spiritual, after I used it back then, I became pregnant with Yan'er in less than a month, and you will definitely be able to give birth to a big fat boy for our Wang family." The expression on her face was extremely kind, I don't know, I really think she is a good mother-in-law who wants to hold her grandson as soon as possible.

After Dong Xiaoyou heard these words, her heart was as disgusting as if she had swallowed a fly, she didn't believe that these superstitious medicines were useful at all, let alone ...... She didn't have the "reality of husband and wife" with Wang Xuan at all, even if she took more medicine, it was impossible, she frowned, and her expression couldn't hide her unhappiness no matter how much she pretended: "Madam, you should keep this medicine, the slave family doesn't need it for the time being, and the melon that is forced to be twisted is not sweet, and what you force to come may not be good." ”

The smile on Mrs. Zhang's face froze, as if she had endured the unhappiness in her heart, and then smiled awkwardly: "Rong'er doesn't need it, but we Xuan'er, you still have to have more snacks." The appearance and personality of the princess of Wannian are not as good as you, Xuan'er will not snub you because of the princess, but you still have to strive to blossom and bear fruit as soon as possible. On the one hand, she probably thought that Xu Rong would eat the princess's vinegar, and on the other hand, she was not worried that Xu Rong would go to the informant, because it was impossible for the princess to believe the words of such a concubine as her. Therefore, Mrs. Zhang was not worried that Xu Rong would leak all these words, which would only cause trouble to Xu Rong himself.

Dong Xiaoyou said: "It's hard to say who Brother Xuan likes, Sister Princess is also very dignified, maybe Brother Xuan likes her more, Rong'er doesn't dare to pry Brother Xuan." Whether he will snub Rong'er or not, it depends on Brother Xuan. "Turnip and cabbage have their own loves, what do the juniors like, how can these elders predict? Dong Xiaoyou just hates Mrs. Zhang's natural tone, what does she know? She's just a stepmother, and she doesn't understand Wang Xuan's heart at all.

When Mrs. Zhang heard this, her face sank: "Rong'er! You have to remember that you are our Xuan'er's concubine, you must grasp his heart and pass on the lineage to him, otherwise, there will be no place for you in this royal family in the future! After saying this, her tone softened a little more, and said: "However, if you can give him a son as soon as possible, then our Xuan'er will naturally be grateful to you for a lifetime, and you don't have to look at the princess's face in the future, understand?" I'm thinking about you. "Envy and power are Mrs. Zhang's usual methods, in fact, she wants to hear Xu Rong's assurance, if she can ensure that this concubine can give birth to a boy before the princess gives birth, then she will win. Alas, the women of this era can only pin their hopes on this kind of gamble.

However, Dong Xiaoyou was not intimidated by her at all, and still said to her calmly: "The slave family naturally remembers the teachings of the lady, but the matter of giving birth to a child still depends on the fortune of heaven, and it is not something that the slave family can say accurately." ”

When Mrs. Zhang heard this, her face became not very good-looking: after talking for a long time, her mouth was about to wear out, this dead girl just didn't give herself a guarantee, looking at her gentle and quiet personality on weekdays, she turned out to be a master who didn't eat soft and hard, and didn't eat oil and salt, and she was really a stupid girl who didn't know what to do! She skimmed Xu Rong's thin and thin figure, stared at her lower abdomen again, and a trace of worry flashed in her heart: It's been more than three months, and there is no movement at all, could it be that this girl's belly can't conceive a child? It seems that I will invite a Lang Zhong to take a look in a few days......

Dong Xiaoyou was disgusted by her scrutinizing gaze, she was completely tired of people like Mrs. Zhang today, and the expression on her face was not very good-looking, and asked, "Madam...... Look at the slave family, but did the slave family say something wrong? ”

Mrs. Zhang quickly came back to her senses after hearing this: "No, Rong'er, if this is the case, then you will be able to live and raise, and I will come to see you in the future." She left with a cold face: she was expecting Xu Rong to be bullied by the princess in the morning, and she must be full of grievances and resentment, and she would definitely stand on the same line with herself when the time comes, but she didn't expect Xu Rong to be such a ghost, she didn't dare to offend the princess openly and secretly, and she was only false and wrongful to herself, and everyone guarded against it, so obviously wooing her didn't appreciate it.

Bi Luo saw that Mrs. Zhang was walking in a hurry, and she didn't have a good face, so she became worried, and hurriedly came in and asked, "Miss, did you contradict Mrs. by making a statement?" The slave was not in a good mood when she saw her leave. ”

Dong Xiaoyou saw that Ginkgo was not there, so he snorted lightly and said disdainfully: "It's strange that she will be in a good mood." She looked at Biluo again, and said to her softly: "Sister Biluo, you are the only one who can really take care of me in this mansion, so I won't trust others so simply, and in the future, they won't want to use me." ”

Biluo listened, and her heart was both relieved and worried: "But...... Miss, you were punished by the princess in the morning, and you left Madame angrily in the afternoon, I am afraid that you will not have a good time in the Wang family in the future. ”

Dong Xiaoyou listened and sighed, where did she want to offend people? But can she make a casual statement today? Alas, it is always to be offended, sooner or later it will be the same thing, what else can I do? was already sandwiched between the princess and Mrs. Zhang, she frowned, looked at the cold blue sky outside the window, and said with some sadness: "Leave it to fate." ”
