140 Sister-in-law
Within a few days, Zhu Chengshu and Kong Jiayi received a post from Princess Heng.
Kong Jiayi didn't want to go, she didn't want to see Zhu Mingyu showing off her power in King Heng's mansion, but she was a little curious when she remembered that the county lord Kong Jiayu was going to marry in the future was also Princess Heng.
Kong Jiayu was not at home, and Zhu Chengshu was a little unsure: "Jiayi, do you think we should go?" If you don't go, I'm afraid you'll lose the princess's face, go ahead, what do you want to prepare? Besides, what if I meet the county lord? ”
"Mother, don't worry, this post is for the Kong family, so it's not rude for me to go alone, you can stay at home."
Zhu Chengshu was a little worried about Kong Jiayi going alone, but she was also relieved, since Kong Zan died, she stayed at home and rarely attended parties.
"Then you take Xiao Wu with you, it's safer."
The little five she said is Wang Wu, although Wang Wu is tall and big, but in front of Zhu Chengshu, he has reasonable rules. Originally, Zhu Chengshu saw that he looked fierce and kidnapped Kong Jiayi, so he was very defensive of him, but gradually he also felt that Wang Wu was a reliable person and changed his opinion of him. I have to say that Zhu Chengshu is a person who is easily persuaded and changed, that is, he has no backbone.
Hearing that Zhu Chengshu asked her to bring Wang Wu, Kong Jiayi was unhappy, what she hated the most was him, she treated herself so rudely at the beginning, she almost couldn't come back, and she didn't understand why her brother wanted to keep him by her side.
knew that Kong Jiayi was unwilling, but on the issue of safety, Zhu Chengshu had a rare insistence, and said: "Your brother also said that the capital is not so peaceful. If you don't want to take Xiao Wu there, then don't go either. ”
Kong Jiayi was unwilling to let go of this opportunity to go to Hengwang's Mansion, so she could only respond.
Wang Wu knew that Kong Jiayi didn't like him. He didn't like this rude and willful eldest lady, and he didn't pay attention to her when he met, so he got on the horse and waited for Kong Jiayi to get in the car and prepare to leave.
Kong Jiayi was unhappy, Wang Wu was just a subordinate, and he turned a blind eye to himself, but he could only sulk. When Wang Wu knocked her out and took her away, that incident still left a shadow in Kong Jiayi's heart.
Luyuan Hutong is not far from Hengwang's Mansion, and when he arrived at the door, Kong Jiayi got out of the car. Looking at the magnificent gate of the palace, I felt that God was unfair.
After entering through the side door, Kong Jiayi sat in a soft sedan chair, and Kapok was waiting for her at the second door. She came alone when I saw it. was not surprised, and took her to the front flower hall of Chaofeng Courtyard, where Princess Heng and Zhu Mingyu were there.
Kong Jiayi saw Princess Heng saluting respectfully, and Princess Heng asked her to get up and took the greeting gift to her. Kong Jiayi looked at the delicately embroidered purse, and silently sighed in her heart that Princess Heng was generous, and this purse alone was worth ten taels. In the years after Kong Zan's death, although he was supported by Kong Jiayu. But Kong Jiayi also felt overstretched during that time, and she didn't want to lose face in front of her little sisters. Secretly did a lot of needlework with the maid to subsidize his own use.
Seeing Zhu Mingyu, Kong Jiayi didn't lose and called her cousin. If it weren't for Princess Heng's arrangement, Zhu Mingyu wouldn't want to see her, but the visitor was a guest, so he also said a few words to Kong Jiayi kindly.
Princess Heng talked to Kong Jiayi for a while, and asked about Zhu Chengshu's current situation, Kong Jiayi answered one by one, but she did not lose her ladylike demeanor. Zhu Mingyu echoed and said a few words on the side, silently complaining in his heart that Kong Jiayi's performance was similar to that of the two of them when he saw him before, and he deserved to be the sister of Kong Jiayu, who was scheming.
Because there were other things, Princess Heng asked Zhu Mingyu to entertain Kong Jiayi and left.
After Princess Heng left, the atmosphere was a little stagnant, Zhu Mingyu and Kong Jiayi had nothing to say, and they were going to treat her to lunch and send her away, so they took Kong Jiayi to Nuanyang Courtyard.
Seeing that the courtyard where Zhu Mingyu lived was spacious and exquisite, bigger than where their family lived now, Kong Jiayi still couldn't help but feel a little sour in her heart, but she managed to control it and didn't behave rudely.
Zhu Mingyao also knew that Kong Jiayi was coming today, so she waited in the upper room, and said hello to her after seeing Kong Jiayi, but Kong Jiayi didn't hear it, she only saw a piece of gemstone and gold jewelry on the dresser, and said to Zhu Mingyu: "My cousin has a lot of jewelry." ”
Zhu Mingyu has too much jewelry, Princess Heng likes to give her some when she has nothing to do, and she never spends money to make new styles in Beijing, so although Zhu Mingyu's jewelry is full of drawers on both sides of the dresser and a big box on the countertop, some can only be placed outside.
Zhu Mingyu hummed noncommittally, and said in his heart: No matter how much I will give you.
The jewelry is now in the tube of Mu Xiang, seeing Mu Xiang, Kong Jiayi seems to have forgotten about the day of the Lantern Festival, there is no guilt or embarrassment, Mu Xiang has no good impression of Kong Jiayi, so she made an excuse to go out, leaving Mu Hibiscus aside.
Zhu Mingyu saw that she was very interested in her own things, but she was too old to show off, so she let Kong Jiayi look at it and didn't say anything.
Mu Hibiscus is the most angry one among the several maids, and she is afraid that Kong Jiayi will break Zhu Mingyu's things, so she looks at it very closely.
"Miss Table, this is the sapphire flower butterfly hairpin that the princess gave to Miss on the Begging Festival, you see that this tentacle will still move, it is easy to break, and Miss is reluctant to take it out on weekdays, I am afraid that it will be a pity if it falls somewhere."
Kong Jiayi put down this and picked up a dansha dotted cui Chaoyang hanging bead hairpin, and the hibiscus said on the side: "This is the dowry of the princess back then, I heard that it was bought by Mrs. Meng from Jiangnan, and it has been some years, and the hanging beads on it are a little loose, and I haven't come to remember it yet, Miss Biao should be careful when she takes it, it is not good to match it if she can't find it." ”
In short, Kong Jiayi picked up one, and Mu Hibiscus added the origin on the side, reminding Kong Jiayi to be careful. Hearing this, Kong Jiayi's heart was even more unbalanced, and she couldn't stand it anymore.
Zhu Mingyu also heard Mu Hibiscus's words, and secretly wanted to laugh, she disdained to deal with Kong Jiayi, and seemed to be a big bully and a small victory, but Mu Hibiscus's words also made her listen to it very enjoyable, and decided to reward Mu Hibiscus after Kong Jiayi left.
"Hibiscus, why do you talk so much today, let's go out and do things."
Mu Hibiscus quietly stuck out her tongue and said, "It's the slave who has a lot of mouths." With that, he went out.
When Princess Heng bought things for Zhu Mingyu, she didn't forget Zhu Mingyao. When Kong Jiayi looked at Zhu Mingyu, she saw Zhu Mingyao standing beside her.
The ethereal blue shirt was a new style she saw in the shop two days ago, and the pink and white yarn silk flowers she wore on her head looked like something made inside, and the jade bracelet exposed on her wrist was white and warm, and it was not ordinary. I don't know how much better than myself from top to bottom, but I followed Zhu Mingyu to send people under the fence, and I was still living so well, and my heart was even more unbalanced.
"The fourth cousin is blessed to follow the eldest cousin."
Zhu Mingyao was stunned when she heard this, and in an instant she understood what Kong Jiayi meant, and suddenly became a little embarrassed, she also knew that she was now relying on Zhu Mingyu's pity. But it's still a little embarrassing to be said so bluntly.
However, after Zhu Mingyu's ear and face to face during these days, Zhu Mingyao did not give in as much as before, and paused. said: "Is Jiayi having a bad time?" ”
Kong Jiayi was stunned for a moment, she couldn't say that she was bad, but it was not much worse than Zhu Mingyu and Zhu Mingyao, but Zhu Mingyao's words were tepid. There was no sarcasm at all. She couldn't refute it.
Zhu Mingyu also heard it on the side, and wanted to laugh even more, but he couldn't help it and asked, "Does Jiayi also want to live with me?" I'm afraid my aunt and cousin won't let you send someone to the fence. ”
She has her own home, of course she won't follow Zhu Mingyu like Zhu Mingyao! Kong Jiayi was just about to speak, when a voice came from the door.
"Mingyu, I heard that your cousin is here, why didn't you notify me."
The person who came was Yunxue, who I hadn't seen for a few days. Zhu Mingyu didn't expect her to come over, it seemed that she couldn't help but look at the appearance of the Kong family. Zhu Mingyu felt that Yun Xue was not so easy to let go. There must be other plans, but this is a marriage from the emperor, and it is not so easy to regret it.
Yun Xue naturally knew that the person who came was Kong Jiayu's sister, and she also wanted to see the Kong family, so she came uninvited. She has thought a lot about it in the past few days, and thinks that the most likely thing is that Kong Jiayu and Zhu Mingyu have practiced and calculated themselves.
This is also to blame Concubine Su for not wanting to explain the truth to Yun Xue, if it is really calculated, Concubine Su will not let Yun Chuhai become a yellow bird if she doesn't count Zhu Mingyu.
Zhu Mingyu looked at Yun Xue, she lost some weight, her jaw was more angular, and she looked a little mean, she didn't look as good as when she was with baby fat before, she came to see Kong Jiayi, so let the future sister-in-law contact the relationship.
"Isn't my cousin uncomfortable today, I didn't inform you, this is my aunt's cousin, surnamed Kong, and her maiden name is Jiayi, who moved to the capital a few days ago, Jiayi, this is the lord of Furou."
Yun Xue and Kong Jiayi both glanced at each other.
Kong Jiayi looked at Yun Xue and felt that this future sister-in-law might not be easy to get along with, and her appearance was not worthy of her brother, that is, she had the identity of a county lord.
Although thinking so, Kong Jiayi greeted Yun Xue according to the courtesy: "See the county lord." "I don't like it, but I don't like it, but no matter how I say it, it's my future sister-in-law, Kong Jiayi decided to check Kong Jiayu first and see how Yunxue behaves.
When Kong Jiayi was evaluating Yun Xue in her heart, Yun Xue was also evaluating Kong Jiayi, looking at her dress, she knew that she came from a small place, so shabby, I am afraid that the Kong family's family background is thin, and I am even more disgusted with this family business, but it is a good opportunity for the Kong family to send it to the door.
Yun Xue was thinking about how to stop this family business, so she smiled kindly at Kong Jiayi and asked her to get up, but she didn't even stretch out her hand to help Kong Jiayi.
Yun Xue and Kong Jiayi were intent on getting close, so naturally they chatted very well after a few words, and Zhu Mingyu and Zhu Mingyao became supporting roles on the side.
Zhu Mingyu looked funny on the side, Yun Xue must look down on Kong Jiayi, and Kong Jiayi didn't seem to be satisfied with Yun Xue, these two people were rude and willful, and they were really the same, she suddenly hoped that Yun Xue would get married as soon as possible and see how these two people lived under one roof.
"As soon as I saw you, I felt like I was in love," Yun Xue said as she took down the pink pearl hairpin on her head and gave it to Kong Jiayi, "I didn't take anything when I came here temporarily." ”
"County Lord, this ......" Kong Jiayi saw that the pearl was big and round, and the luster was good, so she knew that the price was expensive, and she wanted to refuse, but she was a little reluctant and difficult to decide for a while.
Looking at her like this, Yun Xue couldn't look down on her, but she was just a hairpin, she was really shallow-eyed, although she thought so, she still couldn't refuse to stick the hairpin in Kong Jiayi's hair.
"You are Mingyu's cousin, that is, my sister, and we are not outsiders."
Zhu Mingyu said on the side: "Well, that's right, you will be a family in the future, and the saints have given marriage, Jiayi, you don't know yet, right?" ”
Although Kong Jiayi knew about this, she pretended not to know, and said, "My brother went out, what kind of marriage?" ”
Hearing this, Yun Xue blushed a little, not ashamed, but angry, Zhu Mingyu is really good at picking up things that make her uncomfortable, and she is not showing favor to Kong Jiayi to marry Kong Jiayu in the future.
Zhu Mingyu smiled and said to Kong Jiayi: "Seeing that she is blushing, don't you understand?" The Holy Decree has been given to your brother and the lord of the county. ”
Kong Jiayu went out? Where did it go? He must have been arranged by Yun Chuhai when he went out, and I don't know what Yun Chuhai's idea was this time. Zhu Mingyu inexplicably remembered that Yun Chubai was looking for the dragon vein, wouldn't Yun Chuhai be looking for the dragon vein, is this thing really just a treasure?
Kong Jiayi could only pretend to be surprised and looked at Yun Xue, Yun Xue was even more aggrieved when she was seen, and pointed at Zhu Mingyu and said, "You! "She's just gloating.
Seeing Kong Jiayi on the side, Yun Xue didn't want to turn her face with Zhu Mingyu, but she didn't want to stay here to listen to Zhu Mingyu's ridicule, so she didn't even say hello, got up and left with the maid.
Zhu Mingyu said to Kong Jiayi, who couldn't react a little: "My cousin is shy. ”
"The county lord looks good." Kong Jiayi thought about the hairpin on her head and muttered, not feeling that Yunxue was difficult to contact at all.
"Well, that's good."
It's really easy to buy, it's really good or fake, and you'll know later. Zhu Mingyu is even more looking forward to it in his heart, let Kong Jiayu and Yun Xue get married quickly.
After Kong Jiayi left, Mu Xiang counted her things and said to Zhu Mingyu, "Miss, that agate ring is missing." ”
Zhu Mingyu couldn't help but smile: "She really lives up to expectations." ”
Kong Jiayi's petty theft was there when she was in Fancheng, and she also framed Zhu Mingyao and Zhu Mingxiu with this, so that the two turned against each other, and Zhu Mingyu knew that she was not unimpressed when she saw so much jewelry for herself.
Zhu Mingyu deliberately left the ring that was easy to be taken away and put in the corner, after the hibiscus was said to be out, Zhu Mingyu also pretended to look away, leaving a chance for Kong Jiayi, if she didn't cherish it, then she would let her go and find another way out, but Kong Jiayi really didn't let herself down.
Thinking of Yun Chuhai and Kong Jiayu's design of his own affairs, Zhu Mingyu is still unhappy, and he can't catch their flaws, so he can save the country and start with Kong Jiayi. (To be continued.) )
