Chapter 269: The Wandering Lady
At this moment, in the Zhongyi Mansion, the old Zhongyi was about to rest, and a servant came to tell him that the county lord had sent the cook. The old loyal and righteous man moved in his heart and asked him to bring people up.
When Mrs. Zhao saw the appearance of the old loyal and righteous father, she couldn't help but be angry. This old pervert can't walk when he hears that there is a beautiful woman. However, Mrs. Zhao comforted herself in her heart, she was just a cook, how many tricks she could turn out, the old pervert was still very tasteful, and ordinary women should not be able to enter his eyes, after all, he was also the prince of the dynasty. Lao Zhongyigong has always liked those women who are a little famous and have a bit of status, such as those Oiran, and why Zhao Chongyi's mother can always be in Lao Zhongyigong's heart, it is also because Zhao Chongyi's mother is not an ordinary concubine, she is a good concubine, the family was originally a scholar, the family background is innocent, and even her father is still a showman, and her brother is also a scholar, such a woman from a family, let alone being a concubine, is to be a lady, or to marry a scholar, maybe a few years later, she will also be a lady. However, she was willing to be a concubine for Lao Zhongyigong, so Lao Zhongyigong was very different from her under his thoughts.
Ordinary concubines don't have such treatment. Lao Zhongyigong still respects her as a lady, no matter how pampered the concubine is, Lao Zhongyigong said that if you give someone away, you can give it away, which is not ambiguous at all. Those Oiran and the like, although they were very proud when they entered the palace, but most of them would be sent out after a year and a half, and it was normal for them to give concubines among officials.
Therefore, although Mrs. Zhao hates the old loyalty, righteousness and lust. There are many women, but the backyard of Lao Zhongyigong has always maintained a maximum of less than seven aunts, which is because these aunts are very mobile, and some of them were sent away before they were familiar with everyone. Therefore, under normal circumstances, Mrs. Zhao would not be jealous of these women.
However, Lao Zhongyigong's interest in a cook is higher this time than in ordinary concubines, but. Think about it. The reason why he was able to show such great interest was also because this cook lady was a widow. It's normal for men to have a curiosity mentality. In fact, Lao Zhongyi has been fighting in the northwest for so many years, and the Hu Nu in the northwest has not been brought into the mansion. Those were short-lived. The freshness has passed. I gave it away again. This widow wants to come like this, and when the freshness passes, she wants to come and give it away.
Where to know. When these two charming widows were brought in, not only the old loyal and righteous prince was very satisfied, but even Mrs. Zhao was surprised. These two widows look very supple, and they have fair skin and good looks, not to mention, the most rare thing is the bearing of this body, which is not comparable to ordinary women, where is it like a cook, it is clearly a beautiful look. It can be said that these two cooks were dressed in the most simple and simple white satin clothes, with a light green skirt tied underneath, and no expensive materials were used, that is, the most ordinary cocoon silk, and there was no jewelry in their hair, and the green silk was spread all over the head, but the hair was tied with a piece at the waist. Although the two of them were wearing the simplest white clothes, they didn't even use fat powder, but their temperament was more beautiful than Zhao Yufei, who was full of pearls.
After all, Mrs. Zhao has been in the circle of noblewomen in the capital for so many years, and she still has this vision, and she intuitively feels that these two cooks are not simple. After all, beautiful women are easy to get, but this temperament is difficult to cultivate. Although the Zhao family is rich and noble, after all, it is from the generation of the old loyal and righteous father, and this Zhao Yufei does not have a good temperament as the nobles of those families in the capital. The two cooks in front of them, the all-round style, is not something that a small family can raise.
Sure enough, Lao Zhongyigong also dared to be interested and asked, "Can you understand the Da Chu language?" You don't look like ordinary women, what is your family doing in the Wa Kingdom? ”
A woman at the head, who looked graceful and luxurious, and had an extraordinary bearing, made a deep salute, her head was full of green silk, only a blue satin was tied in the middle, and her entire back was covered with black and shiny hair, which looked very beautiful, and she said in a very soft voice: "Back to the words of the lord." Both of us sisters grew up speaking the language of Da Chu. All the nobles of our Wa Kingdom can speak the Great Chu language. You can also read Da Chu's books, writing, etc. Our family is the Hatata family in the Wa Kingdom, and they used to be the first nobles of the Wa Kingdom. Our sisters are the daughters of the Hado family. Our father was the younger brother of the previous Empress Hatata, and our mother was the princess of the Imperial Family. According to the royal tradition, our mother married the queen's own brother, and only gave birth to one brother of our sisters. Originally, our father was the next patriarch of the Hatata family, and our younger brother would be the one who would inherit our father. My name is Hataha, and adults and ladies can call me Hazuko in the future. My sister's name is Haruko Hata. Adults and madams can call me sister Haruko in the future. The surname Bodo may not be available in the future. ”
After saying that, the two sisters showed sad expressions.
As soon as he said this, Lao Zhongyi and Mrs. Zhao were taken aback, how could the queen's niece come, although it is a foreign country, but it is also a noble person, how can she enter the house to be a cook? Mrs. Zhao faintly felt in her heart that this time she might be meeting someone tricky.
Old Zhongyi asked: "You have such a noble status, how can you become the cook of the county lord's mansion?" ”
Ye Zi looked a little sad, and said: "My aunt Queen Hata and the favorite concubine in the palace, Aoi Hime, competed for favor, and in the end, the Inoshita family, under the leadership of Saburo Inoshita, was supported by the lord of Shinkotsu City of Great Chu, and united the Nagano family of the second family of the Wa Kingdom, and the Matsuda family of the third family, I don't know how, I poisoned the Wa King, my aunt said that she was a sinner, our Hata's family was raided, the men of our family were killed, the women were captured, and the family fiefs were divided between the Inoshita family, the Nagano family, and the Matsuda family, The current Wa King of the Wa Kingdom is the prince of Aoi Hime. Aoi Hime is already the queen mother. The underground family is the first family. Our Bojia family has been wiped out. ”
Haruko's eyes were sparkling with tears, and she could shed tears at any time.
Ye Zi continued: "We, the women of the Bodo family, were all brought to Nanyang, in Qingchun City, because our sisters were young and were found to have a talent for cooking, so they were cultivated, and now our two sisters have passed the assessment of the first-class cooks of the Guò County Lord's Mansion. This time, the county lord ordered the two of us to come and serve as cooks for the lord and the lady. We're here. Please rest assured, although the two of us are widows, we have both been trained as chefs in Qingchun City for many years, and our skills are okay, and we will definitely serve our masters in the house in the future. ”
The old loyal and righteous man sighed and said, "So that's the case." Hey, the battle for succession in the palace is the same in any country. Becoming a king and defeating a noblewoman, the former noble girl has become an ordinary slave today. Your sisters are young and beautiful, noble in status, the queen's niece, the princess's daughter, hey, these have become floating clouds. However, in the future, you can follow the rules in our house, work hard, and live a good life. ”
Ye Zi and Haruko hurriedly saluted and thanked him.
Mrs. Zhao chuckled in her heart, it seems that these two noble widows have made the old loyal and righteous prince moved. Her second daughter-in-law is really a smart person, she must have ulterior motives for sending these two chefs with such noble status. Blocking her by himself, but he just got four lowly maids. As a result, she immediately sent two to add to her blockage. Moreover, these two are not as simple as ordinary beauties, the two of them have the blood of the royal family, the daughter of the princess, and the niece of the queen. This is much higher than Chongyi's motherhood back then.
In the future, she will still be angry. Thinking about it like this, Mrs. Zhao only felt that there was no way to solve the blockage in her heart. At this time, a maid came to the door and said, "Old lady, the lord of Shuyuan has sent a grandmother to see the old lady." ”
Mrs. Zhao was suddenly puzzled and asked, "Please." Why did this good lord of Shuyuan send her grandmother over, our family doesn't have much contact with her family. ”
The lord of Shuyuan is an active member in the circle of noblewomen in the capital, and she can talk to anyone. Mrs. Zhao and Lord Shuyuan are also familiar, but they don't have a lot of contacts. One is the daughter-in-law of a family, a clan nobleman. One is Mrs. Xungui, and the circles of the two are still different. At this time, when she suddenly came to the door, Mrs. Zhao was a little puzzled.
Lao Zhongyi said: "Lord Shuyuan is the daughter-in-law of the Bai family, the daughter of the eldest princess, and is deeply favored by the eldest princess. is also very trusted by the emperor and the queen, so you still can't slack off, and you can tell people to come in because of what. ”
Mrs. Zhao nodded. has been in the circle of ladies in the capital for so many years, can she still not know that the lord of Shuyuan is the head of the lady team?
Just thinking about it, a mamma who was dressed very magnificently came in, and after saluting in a proper manner, she said, "Mrs. Yu, the eldest princess has been in poor health recently, and I want to find a few clever people to serve." Shuyuan's county lord's mother is the most filial, and she is busy looking for people everywhere, but unfortunately none of them are particularly good. I just met the second lady of the mansion on the road, the county lord of Wenhui. Speaking of which, the four people who were trained by Mrs. Zhao just now were all first-class and good, and they were given to her, and our county lord said that Mrs. Zhao was a first-class lady in the capital, and the people who were trained were naturally good. I looked at it and was very satisfied, so I cheekily asked Lord Wenhui to get up. Lord Wenhui was a little embarrassed, saying that this was a reward from Mrs. Tai, and that people had not yet entered her mansion, so she would not give it away. Therefore, our county lord sent the villain over and cheekily begged Mrs. Tai for it. ”
Mrs. Zhao almost didn't spurt out a mouthful of blood. (To be continued......)
