2. Chapter II
Xin Hui asked Meiya to give full play to the beauty trick, probed the name of "that barbarian" from his father's little servant, and then secretly followed the "barbarian" of Chu State to note down the place where he settled. Tonight, while the moon is dark and the wind is high, I secretly took him to the Cong Nursing Courtyard, and went to him to talk about the problem of stout and obese.
Meiya had lingering palpitations about being coquettish, but seeing that the young lady's eyes were earnest, and she was hesitating, she suddenly saw her eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of her mouth were also upturned.
Seeing her respond, Xin Hui slowly curled the corners of his mouth on the other side, then smiled out of a mouthful of white teeth, and turned back to the Buddhist hall.
But when Mrs. Xin heard the good news sent by the envoy of Chu, she did not seem very happy, and after asking carefully about the situation of the visitor, she looked even more stunned.
These days, the old lady recites vegetarian sutras, and the nights are restless, and her hair is dull and dull.
Xin Hui climbed his grandmother's arm and whispered softly: "Grandmother, you chant the scriptures day and night, and now you finally have a rescuer, why are you even more melancholy?" ”
Mrs. Xin looked at her granddaughter sideways, her beautiful face was shining, her tired expression suddenly softened, and she touched her face: "Go ahead, I have lost a lot these days, and my face is smaller." ”
Xin Hui pouted: "Grandmother, I don't want to eat so much, so as not to be laughed at." ”
Old Mrs. Xin rubbed her head: "Nonsense, who dares to laugh at my Zhen'er, wait for grandmother to break his teeth." ”
Mrs. Ru, who was in the Marquis of Anding, helped on the side: "That's it, a talent like the eldest lady, even if she loses a few laps, it is also a gold bracelet in the fire - a hot item." ”
Everyone in the room laughed, Xin Hui didn't speak, she is fifteen years old this year, and the women of ordinary families are ready to marry, but her grandmother still treats her as a child.
Of course, she knows why her grandmother is unhappy, the so-called high merit shocks the master, the status of the Xin family in the Chen country is already a hundred feet, it is difficult to go further, even if King Chen is broad-minded and once able to tolerate the Xin family, but at such a critical juncture in the country, the messenger sent by the king for help has returned to the mansion of the important minister, how not to remind people of the following crimes like the concubine and the Lu family.
She was about to speak, and when she saw her father's favorite Mrs. Ru smiling on the side, she paused and glared at her, and then she was coquettish with her grandmother for a while.
Chen Guo advocates plump and fair-skinned, but it is not unbridled fat, but just the right plumpness, such as the waist is naturally to be swinged, but more important than this chest scenery is thousands of peaks and valleys, but unfortunately, ordinary people can take care of the east and the west, enlarged the breasts, but also fattened the buttocks, strengthened the waist, and finally became a general round shape up and down the body, but even so, in the eyes of Chen people, it is countless times more beautiful than the thin man with a vegetable color and a chest and two flesh.
Mrs. Ru's "thin" is a forbidden word for women who have become adults.
It's a pity that his father has always doted on this Mrs. Ru, and Xin Hui saw her soft-spoken and coquettish appearance at this moment, and immediately remembered the time he went to his father's house to steal his new elk.
That year, she was only a teenager, and she heard that her father and brother had hunted a small elk with Chen Wangchun, and she was very well-behaved.
Xinhui naturally does not follow, the spring is cool and should be covered with more bedding, and it will not be cold if you add a pillow, it is better to add a fire cage.
She was determined to steal the poor little elk: of course she had to be careful. Taking advantage of her father's absence, she bypassed the front door of the main house where her father lived, pushed open a gap through the back window, and climbed in with ease.
This time I went in, but I heard a low gasp ~ inside.
Xin Hui froze for a moment, and was about to turn around and sneak away, when she heard Mrs. Ru's voice, and her feet couldn't help but stop.
“…… Zhen'er was born very well, a few days ago the concubine went to the palace, and Concubine Yu also said that Zhen'er has a good temperament......"
Then, the father was a little out of breath, "Zhen'er is pampered...... But it's not the most suitable...... Besides, she's only a teenager......"
On the other side of the screen, Mrs. Ru sighed, like a string of pearls falling to the ground, lingering, and said angrily: "Miss Zhen's temperament is not a ...... that you favored by you, Master Hou."
Xin Hui heard his father laugh: "My daughter, shouldn't she be spoiled?" The voice was faintly complacent, paused, and said, "Zhen'er has her own place for Zhen'er......"
Before he finished speaking, he heard his father snort spasmodically, Xin Hui's heart was anxious, he took a step, and looked through the gap in the carved screen, but Mrs. Ru was naked, and her face was like a red glow and her eyes were flying obliquely on her father, and her father was already sweating profusely, as if he was uncomfortable and happy.
She breathed a little, only to feel that the blood was on her head, this lady is really too hateful, hateful, her father is busy with government affairs on weekdays and has worked hard enough, and she has to be ridden by her like a cow and a horse when he comes back!
Xin Hui wanted to go up and tear her off at once, and throw her into the stable of the house to let her ride enough, but in the end, she was still afraid that her father would get angry and reprimand herself, so she glanced left and right, her eyes rolled, and then she turned around and led the little elk nested in the corner, twisted its ears and kicked it out of the screen.
A few exclamations suddenly sounded inside the screen, Xin Hui didn't dare to stay any longer, quickly climbed the window edge, and trotted back to the room along the same road, only to find that his hands and feet were sore, and his back was wet.
After that, Xin Hui ignored Mrs. Ru lightly, just saw her and couldn't touch her, the air was normal.
It wasn't until before the Great Qi Expedition Chen that her father finally took her on a spring hunt that she understood the meaning of her father's words.
"Zhen'er has her own place to go......
This place is the crown prince of Chen State, the only son of King Chen, who is gentle and benevolent.
Andinghou asked Xin Hui what he thought, Xin Hui didn't think much about it, in short, he wanted to marry in the palace, marry the bad old man King Chen, naturally he couldn't compare to the prince who was peaceful and close, and the prince was also kind and generous to her, and most of the rabbits and deer hunted in the spring hunt were also given to her. What's more, with his father and brother protecting him, he naturally has peace of mind, and the princess will become the queen naturally.
Xin Hui also deliberately thought about it, if he really became a queen, he would naturally have to look like a queen, what kind of virtue and speech, majesty and so on. She also deliberately studied at home according to what Grandma Liu told for a while, but after only half a day, she was thrown to the back of her mind again.
Because she thought it was inconvenient to walk, she quietly opened an opening under the inner clothes, if she really wanted her to walk no more than three inches, it was better to become a fat finch and jump on her legs.
The old lady was originally quite relieved to see her change sex, but after only half a day, she showed her original form again, so she shook her head and sighed again and again.
Xin Hui was relieved at first: "When I entered the palace with my father, I was my father, and I couldn't look directly at the concubine sister, let alone the queen's mother, everyone only saw me from afar on weekdays, and they all knelt down and bowed - even if I lost my appearance on the other day, no one could see it, what did it matter?" ”
The old lady was stunned for a moment: "But the queen's attendants are naturally ......"
Xin Hui smiled with a mouthful of white teeth, and said nonchalantly: "Since they are close attendants, they are all close people like Mama, what does it matter if you see it?"
The old lady was dumbfounded, and it didn't take long for her to insist on resigning from her teaching position, and Mrs. Xin couldn't stay left and right, so she had to let her go back to her hometown.
Before leaving, she knelt in the Buddhist hall for a day, only saying that she couldn't live with Xin Hui's mother who went early, shaking her head and sighing.
Xin Hui saw the old lady crying and grieving in front of everyone in the Buddha Hall, and he didn't like the Buddha Hall ever since.
At this time, she and her grandmother had a good time, and came out of the Buddha hall with a lot of thoughts, and she had already followed the hidden path to the front hall without paying attention. I heard a few girls at the door and the porter outside arguing, and then I saw the maid Meiya walking in with an angry face.
She was strong and muscular, and ordinary guards and porters had to take a step back before talking to her, but now her thick eyebrows were erected, and she looked deflated.
It turned out that Xin Hui ordered Meiya to secretly follow the envoy of the Chu State earlier, but he didn't want to, after he talked to Andinghou in the study, he went into the palace with Andinghou and several sons, and they went out with the front foot, and the whole city began to be under martial law behind, and no one was allowed to go out.
Immediately outside the Marquis of Anding's mansion, there were a number of soldiers with a lot of faces, and Meiya wanted to find out one or two, but was blocked by Shengsheng.
Xin Hui's eyes were sharp, and he saw that most of the people outside were dusty, but their eyes were bright. Although Chen Jun was dressed up, what he was wearing on his feet was not Chen Jun's customary legging military boots, but long military boots. ”
But I didn't want to not only not be able to go out today, but even the half moon was a curfew in the whole city, and I could hear the sound of neat military boots outside all day long, Xin Hui climbed to his attic and looked at it a few times, and there was nothing new, so he began to chase birds and dogs in the backyard all day long, and even the new pointed lotus leaves in the pond were tossed most of them to cook porridge.
Looking left and right, gearing up, finally waiting for my father and brother to come back.
