394 Gossip
The mother-in-law said: "I heard the mother-in-law of the Xue family say that a matchmaker and an official's wife came to the door early this morning, and they saw that they were proposing to Miss Xue. β
Mrs. Lu said to her mother-in-law: "Let the girl next to Miss please Zhizhi, see what you can find?" β
Grandma Lu said: "Earlier, Miss Xue didn't enter the palace and came to our house, but now she is the county lord, I'm afraid she won't come to our house." β
Mrs. Lu disagreed, Xue Yulan is also a young lady from an official family, it's not that she doesn't come, but she is old, and it's not good to walk around other people's houses, after all, there is always a taboo for people who have reached the age of discussing relatives.
Let's say that the Xue family is here, Mrs. Lu saw that Grandma Xue and the others ran again and again, so she moved the rewards into the inner room, and if she wanted to enter the inner room, she had to enter through the main entrance of the flower hall, enter the side hall through the bead curtain door, and then enter the inner room.
The mother-in-law of the Lu family secretly counted how much silk she had gotten, how many brocade boxes, how many burdens, etc., which immediately startled her.
Mrs. Lu smiled and said, "Miss Xue is really capable and intelligent, and she has received so many rewards. β
Mrs. Xue hurriedly said, "What can she do?" The princess who is not the escort treats people generously and generously, has a good temperament, never beats and scolds the palace people, and treats the two accompanying ladies very tolerantly, but she does something wrong, and she only says two sentences, and her temperament is so good that she can't even say anything about the people around her. It can be regarded as the blessing of our Xue family's ancestors, so that Yulan was selected by the princess as a companion. β
Mrs. Xue didn't say that her daughter was good, but only praised Princess Fengge vigorously.
This princess Fengge grew up among the people, and I heard that she suffered a lot when she was a child, and she has an easy-going temperament. There is no strange temperament of the princess of the deep palace, she is the most modest and polite, whether it is you a high-ranking official or a flat-headed commoner, she can treat everyone equally, everyone praises her like the queen mother, like the queen of Duanyi, and is one of the most virtuous characters among the princesses.
Mrs. Xue was afraid that Xue Yulan would be embarrassed to stay in the house, so she said to her, "It's rare for you to come back, what do you want to eat." Sue sΓΉ your sister-in-law. Let the mother-in-law on the stove cook your hometown dishes for you. β
Magnolia blessed the body.
Xue Yumo only said to his wife: "Zhizhi is acting a little arrogant and proud now, you found time to talk to your mother, and on the way back, my sister was almost angry with her and cried." β
Grandma Xue understands that she is also a small jasper. It's going to get by. Immediately, my heart sank. Looking around, the house is so big, and the branches are missing in a blink of an eye.
Luo Pozi beside her snorted: "Why don't you see this stinky girl Zhizhi?" β
Luo Pozi is the dowry of Grandma Xue. It's a mother and son, the kid married a new relative last year, and the wife he married was still a girl bought with the help of the Xue family. This branch is also the Xue family's wish to see their daughter enter the palace, and the princess kindly allowed to bring a serving girl, so she temporarily entrusted someone with a tooth and bought it for twenty taels of silver, and recognized Luo Pozi as a godmother, which is regarded as Luo Pozi's daughter.
Grandma Xue said: "Zhizhi is your daughter, you are good to teach her, don't make trouble outside." β
Luo Pozi searched all over the front yard, but no one was found, so she poked her head to the side door and saw two little girls standing in the carriage alley, but it was Miss Lu's maid who was entertaining the branches with a basket of snacks.
"Sister Zhizhi, the two of us came out of the same family, and we thought that the Meng family was a big family, look at you, how long has it been since I came out, I have been to the palace, the emperor has seen it, and I can still serve the princess."
Zhizhi held his head high, and said quite proudly: "Xiaoju, if you want to say that the princess who is accompanied by our young lady is a fairy-like character, if you want to say smart, I have never seen someone smarter than her, who also has a head and two eyes, and people want to make something new." Not only the emperor praised, but the Manchu Dynasty praised both civil and military, this is not this time the princess has made a new contribution, and my young lady has also asked for merit, my young lady has now been named the county lord of Ningrou, the emerald green two-tailed phoenix, it is really beautiful and dazzling......"
Luo Pozi was afraid that Zhizhi should not say anything, it can be seen that she is just showing off, and she has no other meaning, and Luo Pozi also wants to hear it, Zhizhi is her goddaughter, her goddaughter is glamorous, she also feels decent, what Luo Pozi is thinking about now is whether Zhizhi also has a reward of gold and silver, if there is, she must get it.
Xiao Ju praised: "Your young lady is really blessed. β
"You will see the reward, but you don't know how hard the county lord of Ningya and the county lord of my family have worked these days, in order to do a good job, they get up before dawn every day to check the classics, and they can't rest after the third watch, and they sit in the west side hall for a whole day......
The two county lords didn't go home on the New Year's Day, and they rested for two days on the Chinese New Year's Eve and the first day of the new year, and they started to be busy again on the second day of the new year, alas...... It's really bitter, they are all young county lords, and in order to run errands, one eye is red and swollen, and they are really very attentive.
But the princess has a saying, every effort you give, you get what you get. As long as you do your best, and the mission is done well, there will be a lot of rewards. β
Xiao Ju asked, "Your young lady has been rewarded, have you been rewarded?" β
"Yes, we are not palace people from Cuiwei Palace, but the princess ordered me and the girl of the county lord of Ningya to reward half of it."
When it comes to rewards, Zhizhi has endless words, and his heart is even more complacent.
"Half a reward, how is this counted?"
Luo Pozi was heartfelt, but fortunately she came to eavesdrop, and it turned out to be really rewarded.
"The emperor rewarded a large box of gold, silver and jewelry under Cuiwei Palace, as well as a lot of satin fabrics, I got half of it, it was two pieces of new clothing, and a beautiful Yingluo collar and a pair of earrings."
Xiao Ju asked in surprise: "This is half a portion, what is that portion?" β
"One is a full set of head and face jewelry, each with four seasons of new clothes."
Xiao Ju was speechless, what kind of reward is this, no one has ever rewarded her like this, this princess is really generous, tilted her head, and asked, "Princess Fengge is also so generous?" β
"The princess's reward is more, the emperor loves her the most, before the New Year's Festival, the emperor and the queen mother sent a lot of things, in addition to the emperor, King Rong, King Min, only the prince and our princess each got a share. Among the princesses, the princess of our family is the first part.
The prince loves the prince and princess, but if he gets a good one, he will also send one to Cuiwei Palace. There are also the mothers of the six palaces, who know that the emperor favors the princess, and they will send them if they get a good one.
In short, our princess's treasury is full of treasures, so many that they can't fit it, and sometimes the princess is not satisfied, so she asks the chief manager of the internal affairs office to take some back......"
The latter words were said by Zhizhi nonsense, and she never took them back, Jiang Ruoning changed it once because the color of the silk was not good, and later, the Internal Affairs Office knew her temperament, so she chose a good color and sent it.
Xue Yulan didn't say that Cuiwei Palace's reputation was good, the reputation of all of them was good, this may be a glorious Li'er, and she is not stupid, so she naturally knows how to say good things to protect her reputation.
Xiao Ju stammered: "Your princess ......"
She is Xue Yulan's girl, how can she say "our princess" as if she is the princess's servant.
"Yes, the princess said, Cuiwei Palace is closed, the people inside are like a family, we are a whole, one is prosperous, one is lost, our princess is good, we are all good. To be a palace lady for the princess and serve the girl, but it is the most envious thing for the entire six palaces. β
Zhizhi continued to praise proudly: "The princess treats people well, has a better temperament, the two palace ladies around her, she is twenty-three years old this year, and the princess will let the housekeeper and grandmother around her pick a husband, my god, all of them are officials, the largest six-grade official, the youngest is also eight-grade, all of them are not married, and they will be the head grandmother when they marry." Not only that, but the princess prepared a dowry, fifty acres of fertile land, plus a few hundred taels of silver, and asked everyone to collect and save the silk and jewelry they had been given, so that they could be used as a dowry in the future. But our princess was still not satisfied, and told Mama to choose the candidates carefully, not to mislead people for a lifetime. This carefully selected, selected person, young, handsome and capable, the people in the palace said that it was a great blessing to be able to serve Princess Fengge. Cui Nong and Lan Di, the two palace sisters, are now discussing marriage, once chosen, they will go to the princess's garden to be married......"
Xiao Ju was so envious that her eyes were about to fall out, "You wait for a good princess, in the future, she will say a word, fortunately, you can also marry a young official and be a grandmother." β
Zhizhi smiled, "But I'm ...... It's the girl of the county lord of Jiarou. β
Xiao Ju secretly said in her heart: It's useless to envy those palace ladies, your main owner is someone else.
Zhizhi hurriedly said: "But the princess likes me very much, and praises me for being diligent, running fast, working quickly, and rewarding me with a beautiful dragonfly hairpin before the New Year." She pointed to her head, "How's that?" Beautiful, right? This is made by the Treasure Bureau of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and everyone who has seen it praises it beautifully. My collars and earrings are very beautiful, and even many young ladies don't have such styles. β
Mrs. Luo was listening energetically, but she saw Grandma Xue sending Mrs. Lu's master and servant out.
Mrs. Lu stopped at the Huajiao Gate and said with a smile: "Mrs. Xue, think about it, the son's character and talent in our big house are good, except for this eye, which is not very easy to use because of the fact that he has read too much, and the others are very good." β
Mrs. Xue said, "Mrs. Lu is easy to go." β
After sending people away, Mrs. Xue returned to the flower hall and breathed a long sigh of relief. Since Xue Yulan became a princess companion, there have been many people who have come to mention relatives and talk about matchmakers. This man is getting better and better, whether it is his background, appearance or talent, he is becoming more and more like that, and there are a lot of matchmakers who have come to the door recently, and Mrs. Xue's eyes are picky.
Xue Yulan hid in the pantry in the front yard, and when she saw Mrs. Lu and the matchmaker leaving, she came out and went into the backyard with her head bored.
"Mother, the branches are becoming more and more unruly, I say a word, she will reply a few words, and she will say the princess at every turn. In the palace, recently, he has been rushing to please the princess, snatching all the work of serving the princess and the princess, and he loves to bite the root of his tongue and talk nonsense. My father often said that in a place like the palace, she should talk less and do more, and she has done a lot of things, but she has not said less. I don't want her anymore, my mother still gives me a less-than-talking, obedient and sensible ......"
After Grandma Xue sent Mrs. Lu, she heard it as soon as she entered the flower hall. "Sister, I've already asked Mrs. Luo to talk about her." (To be continued.) )
