Chapter 13
Coming back from the palace, Xu Zigui followed Mama Jiang to learn the rules in the morning, and followed Master Wei to learn embroidery in the afternoon, so busy for a few days, finally looking forward to the holiday, Xu Zigui lazily lying on the windowsill looking at the scenery outside the window, it was spring, it was the time when everything was recovering, Xu Zigui looked at the grass that broke out of the ground outside the window, and thought that the vitality of the grass was the most vigorous, and he was in a good mood and hooked the corners of his mouth.
"Girl" Xu Zi was bathed in the spring light, Zidai hurriedly walked to her side, attached it to her ear, and said softly, "The young master of the Liu family has entered Beijing."
"Confused, what kind of cousin is he for you" Xu Zigui corrected Zidai's title indifferently, and squinted his eyes pleasantly, "What is the matter with me when he enters Beijing?"
"Didn't the girl tell us that the young master of the Liu family will report to you as soon as he enters Beijing," Zi Dai frowned and looked at her master
Xu Zigui then remembered that Liu Tianquan came to Beijing to participate in the imperial examination this time, and slapped his brain in annoyance.
Zi Dai saw her master knocking her head with her hand, and hurriedly stretched out her hand to stop her, "Master, although your injury has healed, after all, it is an injury on the head, and you must not knock on your head lightly in the future."
Xu Zigui stuck out his tongue at Zidai, looked at the weeds breaking out of the window, hooked the corners of his mouth, and muttered, "It's time to clear the weeds"
…….
"Madam, Aunt Liu asks to see" Zhu Xiang entered the inner room and walked to the Qin family, who was reading the account book, to say goodbye
Since Liu's diagnosis of pregnancy, Qin's has exempted her from daily morning and dusk, for fear that Liu's mistake will depend on her. A hint of mockery flashed in Qin's eyes, and there was irony in his tone, "Why didn't she raise a baby in her own courtyard and come to my yard" As he spoke, he got up and sorted out the clothes on his body by Zhu Xiang, and then helped Zhu Xiang's hand into the main hall.
"Madam" saw the Qin family, Aunt Liu hurriedly got up and saluted the Qin family, and waited for the Qin family to sit down before she said with a little hesitation, "Madam, my brother's child, Brother Quan, is going to enter Beijing to take the exam, and he has entered Beijing today, and the concubine thinks that Hou Ye also has many protégés, so if he takes Brother Quan'er's child into the mansion, the concubine can also take care of it nearby, but he can rest assured."
The Qin family looked at Aunt Liu and sneered, and took a relative of the concubine into the mansion to take care of it, but she Liu could think of it, if she agreed, then where was the majesty of her housewife?
The Qin family glanced at the Liu family lightly, and did not refuse her face-to-face, only casually perfunctory, "It's not too late to wait until I ask Hou Ye about this matter."
The Liu family hated it in her heart when she heard it, but she couldn't, after all, what she just said was that she entered the mansion as a protégé, and there was nothing wrong with the Qin family saying that she wanted to ask the Hou Ye. Liu had no choice but to knock out his teeth and swallow blood, "What Madame said" and was about to get up and leave, but Qin suddenly said, "How are you feeling lately, are you still having morning sickness?"
"Mrs. Hui, it's not as intense as it was at the beginning", after speaking, he glanced at Qin's family with some provocation, "It's just that the imperial doctor said to rest more, try to lie on the bed and don't move, Hou Ye nervously told the concubine not to go out and walk around, the concubine doesn't often come to ask Mrs. to say goodbye" Saying, he lowered his head shyly, looking quite like a little daughter-in-law who had just entered the door, Qin sneered in his heart, she was already the mother of three children, and she had two sons by her side, not to mention that her eldest son was already a weak crown this year, and he was the prince's companion, is a powerful person beside the prince, the position of the prince in this world has long been secured, and she has seen it over the years, Xu Zhengjie is not one of those foolish people who spoil concubines and kill wives, as long as the position of her wife in the main house is not threatened, the others will go with them. Therefore, in the face of Liu's provocation, Qin didn't pay attention to it at all, and only said lightly, "It's good to be lighter, you can go back and rest early" and took tea as he spoke.
Liu got up and said goodbye, and went back to his small yard before he smashed a set of teacups hatefully, "What are you proud of, when Brother Quan is in high school, I will help me raise my brother Lin'er to become a flat wife, and at that time I will see how she will put Mrs. Pu in front of me."
"Auntie, you dissipate your anger first," Qing Yuan persuaded the Liu family to "think more about the little master in the belly"
"You're right, I can't be angry now" Liu slowly calmed down, took Qing Yuan's hand and said, "You come here with your ear, you help me go to the back street to spread a few words" As he spoke, he muttered a few words in Qing Yuan's ear, and watched Qing Yuan walk out, Liu Shi laughed ruthlessly, "Qin, I have changed my mind, I will not be the wife of Na Lao Shizi anymore, I will be the wife of the Marquis of the main house, and I will let the three cheap/species you give birth to live in shame for the rest of your life"
……
In Liufangzhai, Mrs. Xu was gossiping with Jiang's mother
“…… The little young master of the Liu family has entered Beijing today? ”
"Exactly, I heard that the young master of the Liu family was born strangely handsome, and his literary talent is also excellent," Jiang's mother replied while beating the old lady's legs
"Now that the Liu family is pregnant, if the child is in the top three, the Liu family will definitely make a fuss about raising the Liu family to be a flat wife," Mrs. Xu closed her eyes comfortably and said disdainfully
The slave does not say anything about the master's fault, although the Liu family is a concubine, after all, it is half a master, Jiang's mother is not easy to speak, and at this embarrassing moment, Xu Zi returned
"Grandmother" Xu Zi returned to the old lady and saluted before snuggling up to her grandmother and coquettish "grandmother"
"This child, how old is it and still coquettish, I think you don't remember what Mama Jiang taught you" Mrs. Xu pinched her granddaughter's nose and quipped, suddenly remembering what the Empress Dowager said that day in Cining Palace, her eyes couldn't help but darken, how could she be such a well-behaved granddaughter who was willing to send her to the place in the palace that eats people and doesn't spit out bones.
Xu Zigui looked at his grandmother's affection and was a little depressed, and hurriedly arched in the old lady's arms jokingly, "Who said that I didn't remember, it's just that Gui'er wants to do everything that Mama Jiang taught in front of outsiders, but in front of her grandmother, Gui'er is just a child, of course she has to be coquettish."
"You," Mrs. Xu pinched her granddaughter's little face and said tentatively, "What does Gui'er think of the prince?"
Xu Zigui's heart suddenly, suddenly remembered the time when the Queen Mother in Cining Palace cared for her, lowered her eyes and face, Xu Zigui turned a few thoughts in his heart before pretending to be ignorant and smiled and said, "I am friends with my eldest brother, I must be a good person."
Mrs. Xu looked at her granddaughter's ignorant face, sighed in her heart, and asked again, "Do you know how the prince rewarded you with the red jade bead crested golden step shake?" ”
"The granddaughter doesn't know, but the granddaughter knows that this step shake is my thing, if the prince wants to go back, he will never be willing to go back" Xu Zigui deliberately misinterpreted the meaning of the old lady as the prince wanted to go back. The old lady looked at her granddaughter who looked like a child, sighed in her heart, and didn't ask any more, but only concentrated on teasing her granddaughter and playing with Xu Zigui for a long time, and only quit Liufangzhai when the old lady was tired of Xu Zigui.
