Chapter 4 Cousins and Cousins See Relatives and Relatives Are Different
Concubine Shu made fun of her daughter-in-law a few words, and after giving Yao Xuan a rather valuable meeting gift, she beckoned her two granddaughters to come over and get to know Yao Xuan: "This is your cousin Yan, who is about to get married, and the other is your cousin, who is five years older than you." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Then he pointed to Yao Xuan and said to her two granddaughters: "This is your sister Yao Xuan, who is almost six years old." ”
Concubine Shu still hugged Yao Xuan's shoulders while she spoke, and she didn't let go, this is to let the children meet each other with family etiquette.
Yao Xuan followed Concubine Shu's words, turned around and first blessed each other with the tall and cold Gong Yan, and then called out her sister and sister, and then turned to the petite and sweet Gong Yan, and blessed her body again.
Concubine Shu only let go of Yao Xuan at this time and let their little girl talk together, and she asked about the situation of Princess Yao's youngest grandson Kangkang, because the child was asleep at this time, so Princess Yao did not hug her.
"I like the interstitial screen given by my cousin, I personally picked this set of dolls, so my cousin can play with it." Although Gong Yan didn't want to see his stepmother's niece in his heart, he wouldn't show it in front of Concubine Shu, but he smiled enthusiastically, but he was faintly not very kind between his eyebrows.
Gong Yan is a titled county lord, and she is older than Yao Xuan, such an attitude is not rude, but in the eyes of her relatives, she is a little cold, but in terms of her relationship with the Yao family, this is also a matter of course.
Compared with Gong Yan's politeness, Yao Xuan was much more sincere, she personally took the exquisite nesting doll in the hands of the palace maid, opened the first floor and looked at it, and smiled to Gong Yan After saying that she liked it, she handed it to the palace maid who came to pick up things.
And the palace concubine who has always been actively pleasing Princess Yao, since she can't take it as big as her sister-in-law, at this time she took the small bookbag embroidered by herself to Yao Xuan, and the smile with her round face and crooked eyes was very cute: "Sister Xuan, I heard that you are very good at reading at a young age, and you have already completed three hundred thousand, but you are really smart, I only memorized it when I was eight years old, this bookbag is for you to use when you read." ”
How much Princess Yao dotes on her maiden niece, there is no one in the prince's mansion who doesn't know, so the palace concubine has already embroidered a lot of small things herself, waiting for the opportunity to give it to her mother-in-law.
"My sister has won the award, I just know how to memorize it, and I don't know how to write, my father said that my big characters are missing arms and legs, and I can't read them." Yao Xuan took the bookbag with both hands, and said a shy polite sentence, and praised the female red of the palace woman with courtesy, "My sister's embroidery is so beautiful, I can't even hold the needle." ”
The children's enlightenment books of this era are already very standardized, the name is the same as what Yao Xuan knew in his previous life, and the content is different from history, and the others are not much different, and the "Three Character Classic", "Hundred Family Names", "Thousand Character Text", "Disciple Rules" These four things, boys and girls in the Great Zhou Dynasty can learn, and then because of the different ways of educating women in the family, women will be restricted from reading what books they read.
As for writing calligraphy in traditional Chinese characters or something, Yao Xuan said that the claw machine party really can't do it, wow, she was a mobile phone, a laptop is not far away, occasionally need to write, and often feel that she doesn't write like it, and then secretly rub it to use the mobile phone input method to verify......
After the three cousins got to know each other, they sat together on the chairs on the side, and Yao Xuan was let between the two.
"Sister Xuan is too modest, I heard that my mother has prepared a yard for you, is Sister Xuan going to live here for a long time? Then we can be in the same company. "Gong Yu already knew from the idle talk of the maid and mother-in-law that her mother-in-law had prepared a separate yard for this niece, which was where she was inferior to others.
Her mother was demoted from a concubine to a concubine in her early years, and she was crammed into a small courtyard with the other two concubines without favor or money, and she was not liked by her father, so she could be moved to Concubine Shen's courtyard to live, and it was already the face of the concubine that her mother gave her.
Gong Yan's words were actually what Gong Yan wanted to know, so she silently pricked up her ears and listened, after all, Princess Yao cleaned up the yard some time ago, but it was above board, and the nurse also said that her father mentioned it first, and she could take this little girl to live for a long time, which was really enough to give her stepmother face.
"No, I'm the only one in my family now, how can I not be filial by my parents' side?" Yao Xuan pretended to answer seriously, and with her little tender face, it looked more and more cute, "But I will often come to greet the concubine in the future, and I can play with my sisters." ”
Although Yao Xuan is more homely, she is always trapped in the world of the Hou Mansion and is very stuffy, whether it is the big scenery of the Prince's Mansion, and there is a little cousin to play, she is naturally willing to come to visit the house.
Moreover, Yao Xuan can often come to the prince's mansion, which means that the relationship between the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion and the royal mansion is close, so that those who covet his family's status and wealth dare not stretch out their claws easily.
Although no one showed anything in front of her, Yao Xuan could see from her aunt's words and deeds that as long as they were still in power, they would have no chance of being loyal to the Hou Mansion, and without the protection of the powerful, the status of the Hou Mansion would naturally become more and more unstable.
"That's right, that's good." Gong Yu heard Yao Xuan's words, and her heart was a little more relaxed, if this girl only came to be a guest occasionally, then it was nothing to treat her politely, if she lived here for a long time, she was inferior to her everywhere, which made people angry.
Gong Yan was also quite satisfied with this, and finally admired his face and chatted a few words, and with Gong Yan's diligent adjustment of the atmosphere, the three girls could be regarded as getting along.
In fact, in addition to the three grandchildren, Concubine Shu is indifferent to the other grandchildren, and even the eldest granddaughter is not very close, and usually only allows the younger generations to come to visit and accompany the dinner on Mondays and Fridays.
Today is to save face for Princess Yao, and Concubine Shu called her two granddaughters to accompany her, so the lunch was just a few of them together, and after the meal, they sat down for a while, and they dispersed.
When they parted outside the courtyard gate, the three little girls also politely exchanged a few polite words, and Gong Yan looked at the little girl in front of him who was quite blue-eyed by her grandmother, and she didn't know what her psychology was, so she blurted out: "Cousin Xuan, let's go to Rongfutang to play when you are free......
Rongfu Hall, the main courtyard where the deceased Princess Qian lived, after Princess Qian died, Gong Yan did not move out there, and later the Yao family said that they would choose another courtyard to live in, and Gong Yan has always lived in the west wing of Rongfu Hall.
After the living uterine Zhe was taken to live in the Rongshou Palace by Concubine Shu, even if it was completely returned to Gong Yan, even with the dowry of the former princess and the servants and maids who accompanied the room, they were all controlled by herself, and Concubine Shu only moved his share to the front yard when Gong Zhe was seven years old.
Gong Yan's sudden invitation made Yao Xuan a little surprised, and she raised her eyes to see her aunt's indifferent appearance, while Gong Yan's own expression was faintly embarrassed, knowing that her words were just a momentary gaffe, so she smiled and vaguely said: "Thank you cousin for the invitation, I'm afraid it won't work this time, wait for Xuan'er to have time in the future, and then disturb my sister." ”
"Cousin is polite." Gong Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, so she didn't say anything more, and Gong Yan didn't dare to make noise in front of her mother-in-law, and the two respectfully sent Princess Yao to leave first, and then dispersed.
