Volume 2 This Goes to Xie Mansion Chapter 146, Mingzhu Invites
Chapter 146, Mingzhu invites
Changsheng hurriedly packed up and followed Xiao Wei to the main house. As soon as I entered the door, I saw Xie Mingzhu sitting on the bib bed like last time, pulling Jin Shu to his side, saying something with a smile on his face, his expression was full of concern and love, Pei Zijun sat quietly and listened to them, with a little impatience and dissatisfaction, it seemed that he was forcibly pulled by his mother.
There are a bunch of things on the square table, snacks and strange toys that seem to be Chang'an's specialties, as well as a few exquisite clothes, it seems that no matter what the purpose is, Xie Mingzhu is very attentive to this niece.
Xie Mingzhu saw Changsheng come in, and stood up with a smile: "Miss Zhou, we meet again!" I was secretly surprised that she was still dressed in the same way as before, but changed to a lighter spring dress, and there are really such old-fashioned and dogmatic women in the world.
Changsheng stepped forward and said with a smile: "Auntie, don't come to harm!" The two sat down after a while, and Pei Zijun also stepped forward to salute Changsheng, seemingly relieved.
Changsheng's heart moved, what Xie Mingzhu was saying just now made him so impatient, as if he wished that someone would interrupt his mother's words, but he could see it. Although he was young, he was brilliantly raised, and no matter how impatient he was, he was not rude at all.
Jin Shu was pulled by Xie Mingzhu's side but she looked reluctantly, just looking at it pitifully, Changsheng was anxious, she was not familiar with Xie Mingzhu, she was forced by her side like this, it must have been extremely uncomfortable, if she had put it aside, she would have been scared and cried.
And she can't see Jinshu suffer any grievances, this little girl who has no blood relationship with her in a practical sense, but she is the only remaining relative in her two lives.
But it was too rude to call her over to her side immediately, after all, she was her aunt, and she was just raising her aunt in name. Seeing that the expression on Jin Shu's face became more and more aggrieved and impatient, and Xie Mingzhu didn't know if he didn't see Jin Shu's expression, or if he liked her very much, he didn't let go.
Changsheng was in a hurry, remembering the incident of the last night banquet, and hurriedly asked with a smile: "Shu'er, have you ever saluted your aunt?" ”
Jin Shu's expression was slightly better, and she nodded and said, "Okay!" ”
Xie Mingzhu said angrily: "Miss Zhou's requirements for Shu'er are too strict, I am her aunt, and it hurts more than my own daughter, what do you do with so much?" ”
Changsheng said apologetically: "What my aunt said is that you really love Shu'er, but General Xie and the old lady have an explanation, and Changsheng does not dare to relax." ”
Then he looked at Jin Shu with calm eyes: "Shu'er, you forgot to salute Brother Zijun last time." Did you forget this time? ”
Jin Shu shook her head a little forgivingly, seeing that Changsheng was still looking at her with a smile, she seemed to understand Changsheng's intentions, broke free from Xie Mingzhu, walked to Pei Zijun's side, and saluted him respectfully, Pei Zijun stood up and saluted him as seriously as last time, and in the light laughter of everyone, Jin Shu naturally returned to Changsheng's side, and then leaned on her arms like a bird.
Xie Mingzhu didn't have any displeasure on his face, but said with some emotion: "No wonder Mingche wants to send the girl all the way to the Xie family, Shu'er is indeed destined for you." However, Shu'er is already old, although there is a girl to teach homework etiquette, but the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting should be involved, not all of them need to be proficient, at least one can be used, and it will not be ridiculed in the future. ”
Changsheng nodded, this is a compulsory course for aristocratic women, but she is vigilant in her heart, what does she want to say? Sure enough, Xie Mingzhu changed his words and said with a smile: "Shu'er." Your brother Zijun heard that you have a lot of strange toys, can you take him to see them? Wei girl, you can take them to see. ”
Pei Zijun's expression was a little strange, and he looked wronged, it seemed that he had not said this.
Jin Shu looked up at Changsheng, her expression didn't seem to object, it seemed that she didn't want to stay here, and she didn't reject Pei Zijun, who was kind and kind. Changsheng touched her head and said with a smile: "Brother Zijun is a guest, you can take him there, don't worry, my aunt won't leave, I'll talk to my aunt here!" ”
Jin Shu nodded in response, glanced at Pei Zijun as if he was invited, and then took Xiao Wei's hand and walked towards the room where she placed her toys.
Xie Mingzhu glanced at Changsheng, and his expression became unpredictable: "Shu'er is willing to listen to the girl's words, there is just one thing that needs the girl's help, and only the girl can do this." ”
The matter has come to this point, that is, what excessive demands she wants to make, Changsheng can only respond to it first.
Xie Mingzhu's eyes were confused, and after a little thought, he said: "I think it is better for Shu'er to learn the piano first, but it is not easy to invite a skilled and good teaching pianist." Pei's family has an excellent pianist, specializing in teaching a few children to play the piano, I just discussed with my mother, and after the Ming Jing crown ceremony, I want to ask the girl to accompany Jinmei to live in Pei's house. Let the luthier see if she is the material, lest the mother look for a suitable luthier everywhere, and I wonder what the girl thinks? I know that Shu'er listens to the girl's words very much, and I ask the girl to persuade her to agree to this matter! ”
She is so afraid of life, and she is especially afraid of Pei Zichen, when she goes to Pei's house, she will definitely cry and refuse to go, regardless of whether Ming Che and Ming Jing are willing to be far away in Jinyang, she can't bear to be wronged like this.
While thinking quickly about how to refuse, she found that Xie Mingzhu's words made her unable to refuse. Because she said that Shu'er listened to her very much, if Shu'er refused to go, she naturally refused to help, as if she didn't want Jinshu to learn the piano.
She still stubbornly spoke: "My aunt really loves her niece, and she has to worry about such trivial things." However, Shu'er is very afraid of life, she has never been to a place outside the Xie Mansion when she is so big, I am afraid that she will cry and cause trouble to my aunt and grandmother after she goes, and there is only one pianist, and he still has to teach the young master of the Pei family, can he take care of it? Why don't I ask her what she means? ”
Xie Mingzhu looked at her with a smile on her face: "No need to ask, Shu'er listens to you the most, I believe you will definitely convince her." As for the luthier, you don't have to worry. Zi Ji is active and likes to practice martial arts, learning the piano is just a look, Zichen mainly focuses on calligraphy and painting, I don't force her to learn the piano, and she won't go back after the crown ceremony, she will stay at the Xie family for a while and wait for Shu'er to come back. ”
Changsheng had to thank her, she really couldn't refuse, people left their daughters in the Xie family for Jinshu to learn the piano, even if she really had any purpose, she could only take one step at a time.
Is it just that Mingjing knows about it? Last time, Xie Mingzhu jokingly said that he would let Xiao Jinshu grow up and be a daughter-in-law to Zijun's brother. Did he write to Mingche?
Xie Mingzhu replied, and praised Changsheng a few more words, then stood up with satisfaction and prepared to leave, and told her again: "The girl told the girl to take the time to tidy up your and Shu'er's salute tonight, of course, they should also bring some of their own things, and leave after the crown ceremony tomorrow." ”
Changsheng asked tentatively, "I don't know how long I stayed?" ”
Xie Mingzhu said with a smile: "Don't worry, girl, it won't take long, at least five days, at most ten days, mainly to try whether Shu'er has the potential to learn the piano, if she can't learn, make another plan, if she can learn, after coming back, her mother will ask another pianist to teach." ”
Changsheng put his mind at ease, it will only be ten days at most, and he will be able to get through it soon. Thinking that Jinshu's temperament had just improved, he was afraid that he would suddenly see so many strange people in a strange environment, and he was frightened, so he said sincerely: "Changsheng knows that my aunt and grandmother love Jinshu very much, but her temperament is just better, I am afraid that she will be frightened when she suddenly arrives in a strange environment and sees so many people, why don't let her see the elders and others in Pei's Mansion this time, the girl is also brought over from here, and then give the elders to accompany the elders when she is slowly familiar with it in the future, I don't know what the girl thinks?" ”
Xie Mingzhu was stunned for a moment, then smiled, and said approvingly: "It's still Miss Zhou who is thoughtful, no wonder Mingche values you so much." According to what you said, after I went, I didn't see anyone except me and Zijun, I changed to a sedan chair from the gate and went directly to the secluded courtyard to live, just bring a few people to serve from here, the pianist is very good at getting along with children, and you and Zijun are accompanying me to learn the piano, I think Jinshu will not reject him, you don't have to worry. ”
Changsheng had roughly understood Xie Mingzhu's intentions, and felt that it was ridiculous, Pei Zijun was only twelve or thirteen years old, and Jin Shu was only seven years old. It's too anxious to want to promote their family affairs so anxious, right? Could it be that she had some other purpose?
Jin Shu really made her like an aunt to such an extent? Putting aside Jin Shu's temperament and clear identity as a concubine, Pei Lin is a favored minister and minister, and the eldest grandson naturally has a better marriage partner, and Princess Shang is the county lord who is possible, how can he allow his daughter-in-law to do this? Was it definitely something he agreed to, or was it simply what he meant?
Changsheng was confused for a while, and without waiting for her to think about it, Xie Mingzhu pulled her to the door of the game room, only to see that Jin Shu was already familiar with Pei Zijun, although the two didn't talk much, they were showing him their toys one by one, and Pei Zijun was probably the first time he saw so many strange things, but he was also very interested, and he no longer held the little adult's shelf.
Xie Mingzhu burst out laughing, Pei Zijun was a little embarrassed, stood up and said goodbye to his mother and Changsheng and left, Xie Mingzhu also left with a smile.
Changsheng never figured out why the Pei family was in a hurry to promote Mingzhu and Pei Zijun's relationship, and felt more and more that there seemed to be a deep meaning in it, with Pei Lian's power, this matter was by no means an ordinary marriage.
And the only person she trusts and can rely on most in Xie Mansion at the moment is Mingjing, if he knows about this and agrees, it may not be as serious as she imagined, if he is not anyone, he will naturally find a way to stop it, and he has no right to refuse.
But how can we talk to Mingjing without arousing suspicion from others? Remembering that most of the girls in Jinshu Courtyard were serving in the outer courtyard, she immediately called Xiao Wei and gave her a detailed order, telling her to go to the front yard to find Zihu and replace Zihu on an errand.
After Xiao Wei arrived in the front yard, he must find a way to bring the message to Mingjing, and if he can't do it, he must bring the message to Mo'er to see what he has planned.
