Chapter 15 The Intersection of the Two Provinces
Xiao Ye received the order and walked out briskly.
With the princess taking the initiative to show favor like this, Cui's was so happy that she pulled Princess An to talk about homely things.
Princess An listened patiently and responded from time to time, the scene was very harmonious, but Qian Ning saw a trace of fatigue on her face.
It seems that the rumors from the outside world are true, Princess An is indeed not in good health, and she is tired after a cup of tea. It's just that King An's Mansion has always been unattainable, many powerful nobles want to make friends but can't get there, Princess An is unwell, she can send guests away with a few words of greeting, Cui's must not dare to be unhappy, why is the princess suddenly so good to Houfu?
Qian Ning felt a little strange.
"The second young master has arrived." Outside, the voice of the maid announced. I saw a young man dressed in green clothes with a handsome face walking in, and said to Princess An with a smile: "Mother, I just had breakfast with you in the morning, and you miss me again so soon?" I was working on a newly arrived sheet music, when Xiao Ye pulled me over, and my thoughts were interrupted. ”
Xiao Ye, who was following behind, couldn't help but chew a smile on the corner of his mouth, and looked very dazzling among the servants who stood quietly with their heads bowed, but no one blamed him.
It seems that this maid is a little decent in front of Princess An and the second young master. Qian Ning thought to herself.
Princess An scolded: "You are not serious, didn't you see Mrs. Hou next to you?" Please be safe yet. Although her tone was stern, she still had a smile on her face, and at a glance, she knew that Princess An was not really dissatisfied with Song Yi.
Cui's is also a discerning person, and said with a smile: "It's not in the way, my eldest daughter-in-law got the help of the second young master before, and we should thank you." He turned his head to Zhao Luoyan and said, "Come over and thank the second young master." ”
Zhao Luoyan took two steps forward and made a gesture to Song Yi: "Thank you, Brother Song, for helping to rescue Neizi." ”
Song Yi also replied: "Brother Zhao is polite, it is a gentleman's work to draw a knife to help when he sees injustice, I am just a gesture, how can I worry about trivial matters." ”
Princess An also said from the side: "I also said, our two families are the love of several generations, this little thing should be done, Mrs. Marquis has to come over in person to thank her, and she also brought the prince and the two grandmothers over, which is really outstanding." ”
Cui Shi smiled: "It is rare to have a chance to come to the palace on weekdays, so I took this opportunity to bring the children to greet the mother, which can be regarded as letting the juniors get to know each other." He called Qian Ning and Lian Chengmei to come over and give Song Yi a salute.
Qian Ning blessed Song Yi with a blessing and said, "The Lu family has seen Song Gongzi. ”
"Grandma Zhao doesn't have to be so polite, just call me Song Yi. Everyone will come and go often in the future, so how much life is the son. Song Yi was still smiling, and what he said was reasonable, but for some reason, Qian Ning felt that there was something in his words. Before he could reply, he heard Zhao Luoyan's voice sound: "According to the order, Brother Song should be one year older than next year, and Neiko should call Brother Song his elder brother, if he calls him by his name, wouldn't it be a mess of generations?" ”
"Okay, well, since we have to move around a lot, we should call it according to the order." Princess An obviously agreed with this proposal, "Yi'er is the elder, and there is Rong'er ahead, so let's call Yi'er the second brother." Do you think that works? ”
Princess An's proposal is simply too much in line with Cui's wishes, no less than a pie falling from the sky, it is too late to pick it up, how can it be pushed out, and a stack of voices should be answered.
Zhao Luoyan also heard the sound and knew the elegance, and stepped forward to make a big gesture to Song Yi: "In the future, I will ask Second Brother Song to take care of me." ”
"How dare you dare, Brother Yan is knowledgeable, famous, this year's scientific examination is also very optimistic, not like a brother, although he is a year old, but he is a dull talent, poetry and books are not open, and I ask Brother Yan to take care of him more in the future." Song Yi praised it, said everything reasonably, and maintained just the right smile on his face, which made people feel more sincere.
Song Yi is a well-known gentleman in the capital, although his family background is prominent, handsome, and his temperament is also good, but unfortunately he has been stubborn since he was a child, he is not good at reading, and he has won a false reputation for showing off his talents after several exams.
In addition, Prince An is favored by the queen mother and the emperor, and Song Rong, the son of King An, is the prince's companion, so Song Yi, as the youngest son, even if he lacks qualifications, he is taking advantage of the time and place, and the weight of his speech is also very important.
Song Yi was so humble, Zhao Luoyan didn't dare to hold it up, and said with low eyebrows: "Second Brother Song praised it falsely, but it was just a little ink on his chest, and outsiders passed it on to a hundred, but it was exaggerated." ”
"Oh, don't be humble to each other, you two are your own brothers, and you can help each other more in the future." Princess An said with a smile, "I don't know if Rong'er has come back?" If he comes back, he will also be asked to come over to meet Mrs. Hou. and Wan'er, Ting'er, also came over to meet with the two sisters-in-law of the Zhao family. ”
The two maids behind the princess got the order and went to invite someone.
Qian Ning has been watching everyone quietly, thinking that it was time to go back to the house after thanking her, but she didn't expect the princess to talk more and more energetically, and she couldn't wait for the two families to meet one by one. It makes people feel like they are deliberately close to each other.
It's just that what is there in the Hou Mansion that can make Princess Tangtang An look at it, and it is worth working so hard?
Qianning felt that she couldn't see clearly, but she grew up under the nose of her stepmother since she was a child, so she has always pursued the belief that there will be no free lunch in the world, and there must be some ulterior motives behind such unprovoked overtures.
With a sense of inquiry, Qian Ning looked at Princess An on the main seat again. Unexpectedly, he found that Song Yi was also looking at the princess, with some worry in his eyes, it seemed that he not only saw the princess's reluctance and stubbornness. Qian Ning thought to herself.
After a while, Song Wan and Song Ting, the third girl from King An's Mansion, came over.
These two girls are twins, and Princess An was in deficit after giving birth to them, and she almost didn't survive, and now the pain is also a symptom left over from childbirth.
Song Wan and Song Ting had already heard the maid describe the situation of the guests on the road, so they responded to the Hou Mansion family with enthusiasm and thoughtfulness, and the voice of Aunt Zhao, Zhao's brother, Zhao's sister-in-law, and Zhao's second sister-in-law brought the relationship between the two families a lot closer.
Not only was Cui's heart happy when he heard it, but even Qianning couldn't help but feel that these two girls were too good at talking and too likable, compared with Song Yi's seemingly sincere words that actually implied his meaning, Song Wan and Song Ting made people feel more cordial and sincere.
Cui Shi even withdrew the two bracelets on his hands and gave them to Song Wan and Song Ting as a meeting gift.
Cui's head started, Qian Ning and Lian Chengmei naturally gave gifts, but fortunately, they kept a little more heart before they came, and let Lu Shui bring a few newly made ornaments from Yininglou in case they were rewarded to others. And it really came in handy.
Song Wan and Song Ting got the newly made hairpin, they were very fond of it, and they could speak, and said directly: "The design of this hairpin is really ingenious, put the beads in the hollow hairpin, it looks very layered, and it will make the sound of a bell when it moves. ”
This is really the meaning of Qianning's design of this hairpin, Qianning can't help but have some heroes who see the same thing, and feel sorry for each other, so he said happily: "This hairpin is designed for girls who have not come out of the pavilion." The young girl is lively and active, this hairpin looks delicate and transparent when it is quiet, and the sound is crisp and colorful when it moves, which is most in line with the characteristics of the little girl who is quiet and moving like a rabbit. Seeing that the two girls of the Song family listened carefully, Qian Ning also took the hairpin and turned it around demonstratively, and said: "You see, the surface of the beads in this hairpin is irregular, and after moving, the sunlight hits different surfaces, and it will show different colors, isn't it beautiful?" ”
If the previous praise still had the element of superficial kung fu, then at this moment, Song Wan and Song Ting were both impressed by this hairpin, and praised it from the bottom of their hearts: "It's so beautiful, I really didn't expect a little bead to have such a magical side." ”
The hairpin she designed can be recognized by others, and Qian Ning is also very happy, and said with a smile: "This idea was also discovered by accident, I didn't expect the effect to be so good." ”
Song Wan and Song Ting were still immersed in the exclamation of the hairpin, and Song Yi spoke: "Brother and sister Zhao are really familiar with the source of this hairpin, isn't it the idea that the younger brother and sister came up with by themselves?" ”
These words suddenly pulled Qian Ning out of the excitement, although now that she is married, she no longer needs to hide the existence of Yininglou, but it is not suitable to expose her identity as the behind-the-scenes manager of Yininglou, so she smiled and said: "Second Brother Song really lifted me, I am just familiar with the person who made this hairpin, so I know these things, how can I have the ability to come up with such an interesting idea." Then he didn't forget to sell a Ninglou, "This hairpin is a new one from a Ninglou, and it hasn't been sold outside yet." The two younger sisters must be unique when they wear them. ”
Song Ting rubbed the hairpin and said happily: "It turned out to be from a building, no wonder it was so ingenious." ”
Princess An looked at her two daughters who admired Yininglou so much, and couldn't help asking, "Where is this Ninglou shop?" ”
Song Wan took Princess An's arm and said coquettishly: "Yininglou is a newly opened jewelry store in the capital in the past two years, so the products are novel and chic, and it has a lot of fame in the Beijing ladies circle. It's just that his family's things are more suitable for little girls to wear, so his mother doesn't know. ”
"I see, I also said, I want to make new jewelry for you before, and I ordered Jinfeng Tower, but you don't want it, you have to change it to something else, isn't it this Yininglou?"
Song Wan smiled: "It's this Yininglou. It's just that there are many rules in a building, and there are three orders a day, if you don't grab it, you can only buy ready-made accessories in the building. Zhao's sister-in-law must have taken a lot of effort to get the newly made hairpin, and the sister-in-law thanked her here. After speaking, he pulled Song Ting together and blessed Qianning with him.
At this time, another maid who had gone out also came back and said to the princess: "The prince said that he just came back from class, and he still has to discuss some things with the prince, so he won't come." also asked the slaves and maids to say hello to the masters of the Hou Mansion on their behalf, hoping that the masters would have more fun in the palace. ”
Hearing that Song Rong didn't come, Princess An's originally smiling face suddenly pulled down, and her face couldn't hide her disappointment.
It seems that the relationship between the princess and the prince is average. Qian Ning thought to herself.
