Chapter 4 Mrs. Zuo Xiangxin
In the summer of the tenth year of Kangye, when the grass grows and the warbler flies and the flowers are flourishing, the Zuo Xiangfu is noisy and noisy, and welcomes the new hostess on Tilian's third birthday.
Before dawn, Tillian was upset by the sound of firecrackers outside, gritted her teeth and sat up to summon Qingzhen in, and while her little face was motionless at her mercy, she cursed the newly appointed stepmother in her heart, and she was disturbed by the noise on the first day, and Tillian decided not to like her.
In the past three years, since Tilian can talk and walk, the servants in the West Chambers of Songyuan have changed wave after wave, and only the bride maid of the Xie family, Qinghu, still occupies the position of the eldest aunt of the West Chamber.
Serving her day and night, Qinghuan knows Tilian's preferences very well, and she can know her thoughts with a look and a movement, and the intimate Cheng dΓΉ is no worse than the Zuo Xiang who loves her daughter and is obsessed.
The white and tender little face is stiff, and the small mouth is slightly pursed, which are all signs of unhappiness, and when I saw Dilian's clear and moon-moist big eyes squinted slightly, Qingli's hand trembled, which was a sign that the young lady wanted to rectify people.
Lowering his eyes and carefully arranging Di Lian's clothes, Qinghuan carried her to the makeup mirror, held a jade comb and gently wrapped her bag, while quietly looking at her, and whispered, "Miss's clothes today were specially ordered by Xiangye to be made." β
The eyes moved up and down from the face of the baby with two xiaolongbao combed in the mirror, the autumn-colored light cinnamon long-veil was padded with Tianshui Bisgrain cross-neck half-arm gown, the edge and cuffs of the placket were finely and densely decorated with vermilion begonias, and on both sides of the waist were the silver branches and blood petals that each of her dresses would have, and the brocade vines were quaint and graceful, with a small pink pleated skirt and a small lotus shoe with a pointed tail inlaid with pearls.
Except for the two bags on his head, the doll in the mirror looks like an elf.
Pouting lightly, Tilian jumped down from the stool and looked sideways at Zhu Mu, who was half-hidden, "Daddy is going to welcome you?" β
Qinghuan pursed his lips and smiled, bent over to take Tilian's little hand, and gently coaxed her, "Xiangye came to see Miss before he left." Seeing that Tillian's beautiful jade face finally eased, Qinghuan squatted down and looked at her, "Miss doesn't like the new lady?" β
Qing Lingling's moon eyes blinked, and Tillian frowned and said, "Do I have to like her?" I don't like to call other people's mothers. She doesn't like to call anyone a mother, and no one wants to take advantage of her, and for that alone, the new stepmother is not likable.
The delicate and gentle eyes moved slightly, and Qingwei smiled softly and stroked Tilian's little face, and whispered to her, "The slave knows that the young lady has always missed Madame in her heart; But no matter how much she dislikes the new lady, the young lady promises the slave not to go against her, okay? β
Tilian was speechless, she didn't miss Xie at all, Qinghu, you really misunderstood, but it's okay to misunderstand like this, just if she misses Xie and doesn't like the new lady.
"Sister." , Qingzhi's high-pitched cry came, and then the owner of the voice pushed open the door and rushed over.
Di Lian frowned and tilted her head, looking at the seven-year-old boy who was dressed in a brocade blue new shirt today and finally looked like a noble young master, glared and scolded, "Jiang Li! Try pushing my door like this next time! β
Glancing back at the door that was shaking and stagnating, Jiang Li, the second young master of the Zuo Xiangfu, laughed, and came to Di Lian to admit his mistake, "The sedan chair is almost in front of the door, aren't I in a hurry to call my sister to see the new lady." β
Glaring at him, Tillian snorted and raised her chin and said, "Who rarely looks at her." β
Puzzled appeared on the beautiful round face, Jiang Li tilted her head to look at Dilian and muttered, "My sister doesn't like the new lady." β
This little idiot, is there really anyone in the Jiang family who likes the new lady now? Hell if you like her.
Unceremoniously glanced at Jiang Li, who was an idiot, and Tillian crossed her waist and yelled at him, "What are you doing in a daze, don't you leave?" β
Tilian, the new stepmother, is really noble, she is the eldest daughter of the emperor Lao'er's most beloved, named Shenghua, this princess Shenghua was born when the emperor Lao'er was still in Longdive, and she is the only one born and raised in the palace The dragon son and phoenix grandson, among all the daughters of the emperor's Lao'er, only this one dares to work against the emperor Lao'er in the palace. It is said that because she was too infatuated with Jiang Luoxiu, this princess Shenghua refused to marry until she was twenty-four years old, and the emperor Lao'er failed to grind her with both soft and hard methods, and finally made a persecuted marriage decree after three years without a mistress in Zuo Xiang's mansion, which was really shameless.
The holy decree says, either marry a princess or marry a daughter. Everyone in the world knows that Jiang Luoxiu is ruthless and ruthless, but there is only one weakness, that is, he loves his daughter and becomes obsessed, and the emperor wants to give his three-year-old baby life to the fifth prince as a child daughter-in-law, can he bear it? Absolutely unbearable.
The two sides weigh each other, anyway, the left prime minister's mansion will welcome the new lady sooner or later, and if you marry it, you will marry it.
One is the left prime minister who leans towards the government and the opposition, and the other is the most favored princess of the royal family, such a marriage, the prime minister's mansion is not crowded by the people who come to flatter and stammer, which has made Tillian very happy.
The princess's marriage ceremony was really complicated, Di Lian and Jiang Li hid behind the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion and watched the bride get off the sedan chair through the legs of the crowd.
If you kneel down, won't you be upset? The left prime minister who is above 10,000 people under one person only kneels to heaven and earth and kneels to his parents, plus an emperor and an old son, Rao is your princess I'm afraid she can't afford this kneeling, right?
Di Lian raised her eyebrows, and seeing that Jiang Luoxiu just glanced at the Xiguan, the Xiguan moved on to the next step with the embarrassment, and couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.
If Prime Minister Jiang doesn't kneel, who can help him? Since you are begging someone to marry, you must have an attitude of begging for someone.
Princess Shenghua of the phoenix crown did not care, and meekly helped the servant girl to drive Luan.
After that, the etiquette seemed to be lowered in an instant, and it was no different from the ordinary official who Tilian knew about marrying a wife, this princess Shenghua got married, and this time it was a real downgrade.
Seeing everyone crowding towards the auditorium, Tillian pursed her lips with her hands around her arms, glanced at Jiang Li behind her and said, "Let's go, watch them worship the church, it's better to go to the snow to play." β
Seeing her turn around and go in the direction of the garden, Jiang Li looked blank and surprised, looked left and right, and finally pulled her legs and followed.
"Sister, I heard from my aunt that we will go to the new house to greet the new lady in a while."
"Greetings?" , Noncommittal provocatively, Di Lian slowly paced along the nine-curved bridge of the Lotus Lake in Fushang, while looking at the lotus leaves and Qionghua on the lake, and said casually, "You and Jiang Yi and Aunt Chen go to say goodbye, I'm busy." β
The delicate eyebrows frowned slightly, and Jiang Li said sternly, "Sister, if you are like this, you will be estranged from the new lady, what will she do if she takes advantage of her father's absence to bully you in the future." β
Rolling her eyes helplessly, Tillian looked back at him, "Bully me?" Then he snorted disdainfully.
Does Princess Shenghua really dare to attack her? She is so in love with Jiang Luoxiu, it is because of her bad brain that she has the courage to attack her, as wise as Jiang Luoxiu, what means can hide from him, Princess Shenghua has some intelligence, I am afraid that she will only try her best to please her.
Just when Di Lian was about Jiang Li's little Bai Cheng dΓΉ to mention another peak, a call came from the end of the lake pavilion where the two were located.
"Little Lian'er!"
Di Lian looked sideways, there were three people in a group, the two behind were of the same size, and the one on the left was wearing a light blue river water pattern plain robe and jade crown with her hair, her face was white and gentle, it was Jiang Yi, the eldest son of the Jiang family; On the right, there is a lake blue brocade woven silver cushion dress, with a winged goshawk embroidered with black threads, a black hair bun with a silver crown and a hairpin, eyebrows and phoenix eyes are vigorous and vigorous, is not the grandson of the Xie family, Sun Rongguo, who is Xie Hengyuan?
As for the one who ran in front of the two, wearing a jade crown with blue water and blue water, a jade crown with a treasure and a handsome face, and waving his arms and smiling like the rising sun at the moment, it was the third young master of the Rongguo Mansion, Xie Hengxu, a famous little devil in Kyoto.
Every time she saw Xie Hengxu, Di Lian felt a headache, this third cousin who was naughty and had no serious ideas was much more unbearable than Jiang Li, a white and pure little idiot.
Running to the front in one step, Tilian was picked up by Xie Hengxu's hands, fell into the air and flew around, and slapped Xie Hengxu on the top of Xie Hengxu's head unceremoniously when she was dizzy, gritting her teeth and laughing.
"Put me down!"
Although she thinks like an adult, she is still a milk doll in terms of her delicate body and soft physique, even if she is so angry that she scolds her, she only thinks it is very cute in the eyes of others.
Xie Hengxu smiled toothlessly, Bai Sensen's teeth were dazzling, hugged the little body in his arms tightly, turned around and put Tilian on the marble table of the lake pavilion to look at him, and asked with a smile.
"Xiao Lian'er misses her third cousin, I came to bring you something good today." , God raised his eyebrows mysteriously.
Miss you? Tilian pulled the corners of her lips and laughed dryly, Xie Hengxu is now studying in Guozijian, and he can take four days off every month, and during these four days, he stayed in Xie's Mansion in the morning, and went to Zuoxiang's Mansion in the afternoon. Tillian thinks he is impossible, but she is very interested in the good things in his mouth. The reason why Xie Hengxu is known as the little devil of the mixed world is that he has the greatest ability to play blindly and cause trouble, just ask the three streets and five lanes in Kyoto, from the restaurant to the Goolan and even the vendor who sells baked cakes, who doesn't know him? But if Fan Dilian wants something new, she will definitely not be disappointed when she finds Xie Hengxu.
Patting her white and tender little hand, Di Lianyue's eyes bent and stretched out her index finger to hook Xie Hengxu, and said with a smile, "Don't take it out yet." β
Gritting his teeth, Xie Hengxu raised his eyebrows and said, "If you call me my third cousin, I'll give it to you." β
Yue's eyes narrowed slightly, her smile retracted, and Tilian raised her foot and kicked it unceremoniously, "Don't take it out yet!" Don't make me repeat it a third time. β
His eyebrows were furrowed, Xie Hengxu flexibly dodged sideways, pouting and muttering, "Little Lian'er, you can't be nice to me, it's in vain that I went to great lengths to find this thing for you, it's really the world." Seeing Dilian's glaring, she hurriedly took out the hidden things from her arms and offered them with both hands.
Glancing at him, Di Lian reached out and took it and glanced at it, and then looked surprised, "Okay, it's really you Xie Hengxu!" Rolling up the blue strands in her hand, Tillian smiled and knocked Xie Hengxu on the shoulder.
Xie Hengxu raised his chin when he heard this, and his face was triumphant.
"What's the weird thing?" , Aside from the probe to look at Jiang Li, Xie Hengyuan, who was watching for a while, stepped forward, stretched out his hand with a cold face and pulled the book in Di Lian's arms, his phoenix eyes lowered and swept away, and then looked at Xie Hengxu with thin lips pursed.
The sunny and clear look darkened, Xie Hengxu took a half step back and said with a look of 'none of my business', "It's Xiao Lian'er who spoke, I'm the one." β
Glancing at the traitor Xie Hengxu with disdain, Tilian raised her eyes to Xie Hengyuan, who had a cold face, stretched out her hand with her head held high, and was confident, "Give it back to me." β
Rolling up the book in his hand and knocking on the side of the table, Xie Hengyuan quietly looked at Di Lian and asked slowly, "This is a congratulatory gift from Lian'er to her uncle and Princess Shenghua?" β
Facing this dead face, Tillian pursed her lips, this person who is serious and unsmiling and looks at it coldly, will not experience the happiness of her appreciating these spring love wild books, too lazy to explain to him, helplessly shook her outstretched little hand, "Give it back to me." β
"Lian'er." , The light tone was slightly dark, Xie Hengyuan put away his hand and stuffed the book into his clothes, and said indifferently without explanation, "Don't take it as an example, if you play like this again, I will hand over this book to my grandmother." β
Mrs. Naschet threatened her? Yue's eyes widened, her gaze moved up from Xie Hengyuan's chest to his cold and expressionless face, Tillian gritted her back molars and smiled, "You won, Xie Hengyuan." "Damn the big log, don't fall into my hands.
Looking at her little appearance with a puffed face and frowning with an indignant face, it is really cute with this very beautiful little face, Xie Hengyuan smiled in his eyes, this girl is obviously so small, but she wants to look like a young man, it is really interesting.
