Chapter 8: The Six Princes
Xie Menghua is a proud little sister, with her strange persistence, she and her two sisters-in-law successfully escaped her father's genetics should have revolutionary friendship, but no, Xie Menghua only has the pride of being a concubine.
Meng Sanniang is a concubine, Xie Menghua is willing to talk to her, Qian Luojin is a concubine, Xie Menghua is also willing to say a few words to her, for the two sisters, Xie Menghua will not say a word more if she can express the things she understands with her eyes, and of course she will not eat the food made by the sisters.
Xie Mengxi is still young, and she doesn't understand that she is discriminated against, but she only thinks that her eldest sister doesn't seem to have good ears, and she often can't hear her. Xie Mengyao knew the reason inside, so if she walked to Xie Menghua, Xie Mengyao would be willing to take a detour, because according to the rules, she must salute her sister. Xie Mengyao can think about it, everyone is a daughter, and when they are old, they all have to get married, who is still afraid of who for a lifetime?
"Third Sister Meng, did Second Sister Meng go to see a doctor for Second Uncle again?" Xie Menghua is more enthusiastic about Meng Sanniang, who is also a concubine, than with her two sisters-in-law. Meng Sanniang's sister Meng Erniang is on an errand in the Tai Hospital, and she is a rare female doctor, and Xie Erye's illness has always been her diagnosis and treatment.
"No, she doesn't care about her own sister, she will leave me here and go to someone else's doctor first." Meng Sanniang is a person who loves to talk and joke, so the three sisters of the Xie family are very good with her, and because she is older, Meng Sanniang still has the meticulous gentleness of her eldest sister, so she specially said to Luo Jin: "Is Sister Luo Jin unaccustomed to the soil and water in the capital?" If there is anything uncomfortable, let my second sister help you take a look, don't look at my second sister is a woman, her medical skills are better than men. ”
Luo Jin hurriedly thanked her and said that she was strong and did not feel any discomfort.
Originally, it was normal for the girls to get together to talk about the short term in the family, but Meng Sanniang suddenly remembered a curious topic, and the conversation changed: "Have you heard that the daughter of Sun Zuoling's family is dead." ”
Of course, Luo Jin has never met Sun Zuoling's daughter, but the three sisters of the Xie family do.
"Didn't we see Mrs. Guan at her birthday banquet last time? What about a big belly, dystocia and death? ”
"No, my second sister passed when she was born, and she gave birth to a big fat girl, and the mother and son are safe."
"So what?"
"Isn't it because she gave birth to a daughter, and she gave birth to three children, all of whom were daughters, and her mother-in-law stuffed people into her room, and she wanted to make trouble, but she was killed by her husband who pushed the corner of the bed."
Meng Sanniang felt furious in her heart when she said that, and the people who listened were also furious, Xie Mengxi leaned towards Luo Jin in fear.
As a woman in the new era, Qian Luojin heard this story and her whole person was not good, giving birth to a boy and a girl to see a man and kissing, it was terrible to be uneducated, so angry that Luojin didn't eat the chestnut cake, and asked with concern: "Then what?" Murder pays for life? "This man has to be a reprieved death in modern times, there was no concept of a reprieved death in ancient times, so he paid for his life directly?
Meng Sanniang looked at Luo Jin with a "stupid child" expression: "This was all a week ago, look, you don't know, although it is an ugly thing, it will be over for two years." ”
Also, it is now a patriarchal society, and the status of women is low, but Luo Jin is still unwilling, it is a human life: "Does she have no parents and brothers?" And no one asked for an explanation for her? ”
Meng Sanniang asked rhetorically: "How to ask for it?" Sister Luojin, you don't know, the girl of the Sun family is married to the son of Zuodu Yushi, where can the Sun family afford to provoke it? Besides, she made trouble first, but her husband's family said that she was jealous and unvirtuous. ”
In ancient times, men were inferior to women, Qian Luojin didn't know, after the crossing, she has been convincing herself to adapt to such rules, learn to be a lady, and learn to integrate into the customs here, but she still can't accept this qiē willingly in her bones, if she is allowed to live Miss Sun's life, she is willing not to marry for the rest of her life, but even this can't help her, ancient women are also at fault for not marrying.
Luo Jin was troubled for a while, she only thought that she would find someone to marry in the future, anyway, she was rich, where could she go? It's a big deal to treat herself as if she is still unmarried, her future husband likes to take a concubine or visit the Qinglou at will, now it seems that she thinks too simply, she is willing to do this, her future husband may not be willing, her happiness is tied to a man with an unknown character, it is terrifying to think about.
Just when Luo Jin and others felt sorry for Miss Sun, there was also a commotion on the side of the adults.
The little master of the Hua family came out of the queen mother and went straight to the Zhenguo Mansion, and also brought a little friend, the eldest princess of Jiayu to pick up the child outside the door in person, showing her motherly affection.
The eldest princess of Jiayu walked into the house with a lotus step, followed by two boys of the same age as Xie Yanyuan, the eldest princess of Jiayu smiled and took one of the boys in front of her, the boy looked reluctant, standing expressionlessly, some of the people in the crowd had not seen this boy and were still observing carefully, I don't know whose son was born with such a handsome appearance, but saw that several first-class ladies couldn't sit still, and they all stood up to salute the boy: "The old man has seen the six princes." ”
What's that? Some people are not sure if they are hearing these three words in their ears.
"A few old ladies please get up, don't dare to be Jin." The boy stood calmly in place, palms facing upwards and raised his fleshy little hand to signal that he would not be courteous. According to the rules, a product of the order should also be saluted to the prince, but this involves the issue of humility, no prince will really receive the gift of a product, so everyone is polite, the six princes' voice just fell, everyone is a product of the order of the battle-hardened maids around them to help the old ladies of each family to sit down again.
Now everyone is sure that the person in front of them is indeed the prince, the sixth son of the current emperor, Mu Congjin.
The six princes would come, no one expected that the surrounding atmosphere was a lot tense, this sixth prince was not an ordinary prince, he was the second son of the queen, and this time he also sent a reward on behalf of the queen. For a high-grade wife like Mrs. Xie to celebrate her birthday, the queen, as the lord of the six palaces, usually rewards something to show the royal favor, no wonder there is no father-in-law in the palace to reward her, but the six princes personally sent it.
Old Taijun Xie seemed to feel the envious gazes around her, but the eldest princess of Jiayu poured cold water on her at the right time: "You don't have to be too nervous, he just follows Yiwen to have fun, and you celebrate your birthday." ”
Hua Yiwen is another boy who came in with the sixth prince Mu Congjin, he is a frequent visitor to the Zhenguo Mansion, seeing Xie Lao Taijun is unrestrained, generously bowing to his birthday, this playboy is the second young master of the Hua family, and he looks seven or eight points similar to the old man Hua, with the high appearance of the old man of Hua who just relied on his face, the second young master of Hua also attracted the attention of a middle-aged woman.
The sixth prince and the second young master of Hua are really a pair of golden boys and jade boys standing together, those who have school-age daughters at home can't wait to go home again now, and dress up their daughters more fancy, one is the emperor's son, the other is the son of the eldest princess Jiayu, and which one is flying on the branch if you marry!
Hua Yiwen often came to the Xie family and was very familiar with Xie Tanyuan, so Mrs. Xie asked Xie Tanyuan to accompany the young master of the Hua family and the six princes to take a walk in the Zhenguo Mansion. There are people in the crowd who are annoyed that they didn't bring their son, the six princes are about to reach the age of enlightenment, and they want to choose to accompany them, if they bring their sons, they can still brush up their favorability, and there are also people who think more, guessing that Xie Yanyuan must have been designated as the companion of the six princes, otherwise she Xie Lao Taijun He De can have a birthday and the prince will come to the door?
In fact, Hua Yiwen felt bored to stay with a group of aunts, and if he had to let Mu Congjin accompany him, it was not as complicated as outsiders thought, and the child's world was so simple.
Some guests who have an average relationship with the Xie family or have a distinguished status waited until the dinner party, and Mrs. Xie stared at Luo Jin and Meng Hua, who might be their future mother-in-law, especially Qian Luojin, the granddaughter of the Zhenguo Mansion for the first time in many years, whether it is good or bad will be said.
With Qian Luojin's EQ and IQ in her twenties, she was judged in a five-year-old body, of course, she could be outstanding, but Luojin deliberately restrained her posture, not wanting to overshadow Xie Menghua's edge, and it was not a competition with prizes if she won the first place, don't look at Mrs. Xie's mouth to let her show more, if she really wants to steal Xie Menghua's limelight, she will definitely not be happy.
Xie Menghua is a celebrity in the wedding circle in the capital, and many people have expressed their intention to marry Mrs. Xie one after another, but they are all reasonable doors, and there is no option that can make Mrs. Xie's eyes shine, she is vague to deal with the past, there is still plenty of time, and Menghua's marriage can be picked slowly.
The sixth prince personally came to congratulate Mrs. Xie on her birthday, which made Mrs. Xie's mind even more fluttering, as if her vision was a little higher, she thought it was not bad, and the children of several families couldn't even look down on it, of course she didn't dare to think about it yet, but the second young master of the Hua family...... With the relationship between her mother-in-law and the eldest princess Jiayu, maybe you can work hard.
