Chapter 22: Greetings
Today is the fifteenth, Zhuang Yan got up early and went to Huichun Hall to say goodbye. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
When I arrived at Huichun Hall, the willow branches were waiting outside. Liu Zhi saw that Zhuang Yan was wearing an ordinary lotus blue skirt that was not old and half-new, and there was no ornament on his body, so he couldn't help but feel contempt. Helping the golden hairpin with the grass pattern on his head, Liu Zhi said with a smile: "The girl is here, the princess and the eldest lady are already here." ”
Zhuang Yan smiled, it turned out that he came quite early.
When he entered the house, he gave Princess Jin a solid head.
I heard Princess Jin's slightly faint voice sound: "Get up, it's hard for you to get up early." He stabbed again.
Zhuang Yan is funny, she didn't come early or late before, she was disliked and came late, and it was easy to come early and be disliked. It seems that Princess Jin doesn't look at Zhuang Yan right.
The princess was exquisite, and seeing that Zhuang Yan was a little embarrassed, she hurriedly said: "Look at what my mother said, which one of our mansions is not filial to you?" ”
Princess Jin glanced at the eldest lady He behind her, then looked at the lower abdomen of the princess, and said, "You will be filial to Jingxuan as soon as possible." ”
The princess of the world put her hot face on her cold buttocks, and couldn't help but be stunned, and looked at He Shi embarrassedly, seeing that He Shi was still delicate and weak, and her heart was even more angry.
It seems that Princess Jin is in a bad mood today, so the princesses who have always been happy with her have hit cold nails.
Zhuang Yan has always ignored the affairs of the palace, and just lowered his head to load wood.
After a while, Zhuang Lingjiao, Concubine Fu, Zhuang Lingzhao and Zhuang Qing all came.
Princess Jin stretched her brows when she saw Zhuang Lingjiao, "It's not that there are some colds in the past few days, why did you come out again?" ”
Sure enough, Zhuang Lingjiao was paler than usual, and she looked even weaker, Zhuang Lingjiao said: "It's already good, mother doesn't have to worry." ”
Princess Jin said again: "I am so good to give birth to you, I will take you back to my grandfather's house in a few days, if I see you like this, your grandmother will definitely feel distressed." ”
The princess was born in the Zhao family of Taiyuan, because most of the children in the family traveled to Beijing, so there is also a mansion in Beijing, since the Zhao family married the king of Jin, and her father was also promoted to the official of Beijing, and the family moved to the capital.
Concubine Fu said lightly: "I heard that Lord Zhao was promoted to the position of the prince of the country this time, it is really gratifying. ”
The princess really had a bad face, although she claimed to be from the Guanzhong Wang family, but after all, her father had been serving in the Guozi Prison, and her official position was not high, even if she was promoted to sacrificial wine, she was only from the fourth grade, and she was still half a head shorter than Concubine Fu who was the prefect of Hangzhou.
When she got married, she was just the daughter of a small official in Qiantang, who would have thought that her father would rise all the way! is in a rich and prosperous place like Hangzhou, but seeing that Concubine Fu has not been relentless when she has rewarded her subordinates over the years, she knows that her family has made a lot of money. And he only had the dowry prepared by the princess according to the rank of the princess when he got married, and his father was honest, and he had no other income in his hand, and his life was not as comfortable as a side concubine.
Zhuang Lingjiao glanced at Concubine Fu with contempt: "That's natural, my ancestor is from two Jinshi backgrounds, and he is also the son of the country to supervise the sacrificial wine, it is not an exaggeration to say that the capital of Confucianism in the world is not an exaggeration, where is it like some people who count three generations in the family are just a lifter!" ”
Concubine Fu's father was a minor official in Qiantang County after being promoted in the examination, and he fell for many years.
Concubine Fu smiled but said nothing.
How can Zhuang Lingzhao tolerate others despising his grandfather, especially Zhuang Lingjiao, who hates him the most, "What if my grandfather is just a person, he has meritorious governance, the taxes paid by Hangzhou Mansion this year are the first in all provinces, and my grandfather has been repeatedly attacked by typhoons during his tenure, but Hangzhou Mansion is not safe and stable, and even the saint praises his grandfather's ability!" ”
It is not easy for the magistrate to be praised by the saint, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Jane is in the emperor's heart.
Zhuang Lingjiao was even more annoyed, and was about to open her mouth to refute, but was stopped by the princess, "The major affairs of the court and politics are not what our women should care about. Whether it is a clear stream or a capable official, it is good to be loyal to the saint wholeheartedly. One sentence blocked everyone, it seemed fair, but it still faintly raised the name of Zhao's Qingliu.
The corporal of the world praises the clear stream and despises the capable officials and good officials.
Concubine Fu disdained to argue with the princess verbally, and her father was a capable person, even if he was not in Beijing, as long as he planned well in the local area, he might not have done nothing. What can you do if you keep the name of a clear stream? The royal family did not take the road of the imperial examination, and even his son did not have half of the help.
A few more people talked and then dispersed.
Back in Qinghe Garden, Concubine Fu couldn't help but mention Zhuang Lingzhao: "How many times have I told you, don't quarrel with the county lord anymore, why don't you listen!" ”
Zhuang Lingzhao was not convinced: "What I said is right, they don't look down on their ancestors, and I don't look down on them!" Who will fool you when you take out all that silver during the New Year's holidays? ”
How did she give birth to such an ignorant daughter, and she didn't look at it without heart, why couldn't she control that mouth! Concubine Fu said: "In the mansion, she is a concubine, you are a concubine, every time you compete with her, what benefits can you get?" She is a thoughtful person, you are like this, didn't you just give her disrespectful words? ”
"Then she doesn't respect her brother! Every time I see my brother, I ignore it! My sister-in-law who almost had a miscarriage last time, and my sister-in-law has been lying down for a month! It was as if she was a fairy in the nine heavens, and the two of them, brother and sister, were like ants in her eyes.
Concubine Fu naturally knew this, and she couldn't be angry, but there was no chance to retaliate against Zhuang Lingjiao at the moment, so she could only endure her anger for a while, she looked at her daughter's bulging cheeks, and felt even more distressed, she was useless, she couldn't give her children a noble status, and let them grovel to the county lord.
"You can bear with it for a while, but she will get married in a year......" Concubine Fu revealed.
Zhuang Lingzhao said: "Really? Who is she going to marry? ”
Concubine Fu snorted lightly: "Otherwise, why do you think their mother and daughter attach so much importance to Lord Zhao's promotion, and they have to go back to the house so much." Seeing that her daughter still didn't understand, she said: "I heard that the princess fell in love with the prince of Wenguo, and this time it was through the promotion of Lord Zhao to the sacrificial wine, and specially invited the Duchess of Wenguo to take the county lord over to see it!" ”
"Prince Wenguo, Meng Zeyuan? But can he look down on Zhuang Lingjiao? She was so pretentious, pretending to be a fairy all day long......" Zhuang Lingzhao was even more dissatisfied.
Why can Zhuang Lingjiao be worthy of such a good man, Meng Shizi is quite famous in Beijing, he is not only born in the Wenguo Mansion of a scholarly heirloom, his ancestors have been literary heroes and Confucians for generations, and he is also rich and rich, and he is the dream husband of many women in Beijing.
But such a good person actually wants to match him with Zhuang Lingjiao! What else is that woman besides having a good name! Zhuang Lingzhao really sympathized with Meng Zeyuan.
Suddenly remembered something, "But isn't the eldest sister still married?" How could it be her turn. ”
Concubine Fu said: "Your eldest sister's family affairs must have been inseparable. ”
Zhuang Lingzhao didn't hear the news at all, and he didn't see a matchmaker come to the door to propose, so he couldn't help but be curious: "Which one is it?" ”
