Chapter 481, the difference between clouds and mud

The next day, Changsheng still insisted on going back with Mingjing, her reason was: "Since they are husband and wife, of course they must share what they can share, and they can't let their husbands face them alone when they encounter difficulties." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”

In fact, her real purpose is to stimulate Ming Qing and Lin Xinhui with her gorgeous dignity, so that they can understand that they are different from herself, and then stir up their contradictions to the greatest extent.

Although Mingjing understands her true intentions, she is still very happy with her words, what is more reassuring than the life and death of husband and wife?

And they also have one thing they must do, that is, to go to the grave of their ancestor and father Xie Wuya to pay tribute. It is said that Changsheng was named a princess, and Mingjing should have come to pay tribute soon after he was named the captain of the horse, but at that time, Changsheng's pregnancy was unstable, and they also had more important things to do, so they have been delayed until now, and this time it happened to be an opportunity.

The grange is on the outskirts of the county, and even if the carriage goes slower, it will only be an hour's road, so Mingjing no longer rides a horse, and the two of them ride slowly in the same carriage, in order not to let people know that Princess Dexiao is in Wugong County, they board the car directly from the house.

The housekeeper and the guards rode with them, followed by two carriages, one containing the old lady's dowry and the other containing Lin Xinhui's dowry.

At noon, as the sun rose, they reached the Grange, which in the depths of winter was desolate and desolate, with the leaves already gone, and the winter wheat that clung to the ground was gray and green, and there was little work in the field, except for a few shepherds and flocks of sheep eating withered grass.

They did not return to Zhuangzi, but first brought sacrifices to the ancestral tomb and the grave of Xie's father to worship and comfort before coming to Sigui Courtyard.

Now that the Xie family's disaster has passed, there is no need to be worried, and one of the two sons has become a county horse, and the other has become a horse captain, and they are all married to the biological daughter of King Huai'an, the first person of the Tang Dynasty, the in-law Pei family has regained the trust of the new emperor, and the son-in-law Pei Xun has a bright future as an official, although Mrs. Xie is still white, her dignity is not worse than before.

Everyone guessed that the Xie family would soon recover, so from time to time there were old friends who came to visit the old lady, and there were some relatives and relatives, those who avoided the Xie family after the disaster took advantage of the fact that the Xie family had not yet recovered, and the ruts and horseshoe prints on the road in front of the grange were clearly visible.

Before he came forward to knock on the door, the gatekeeper heard the neighing of the horse and opened the door, no longer as well guarded as before, about recently there were many guests, and the dog barked no longer, and the two big wolf dogs used to watch the home care home were probably locked in the backyard.

The gatekeeper found out that it was Mingjing and his wife, he was stunned at first, and then bowed his head, this brocade dress is bright and jeweled like a fairy concubine, but the world-famous Princess Dexiao, if she is not the daughter-in-law of the Xie family, he may not have a chance to see him in his life.

Changsheng smiled lightly and said nothing, and walked over, the shelf was full, Juxiang made him flat, rewarded a thick purse, and the group entered the courtyard gate, and the carriage also rushed into the courtyard.

In order to show respect, the carriages were parked outside and walked in directly, but this time the three carriages rushed directly into the courtyard, and the gatekeeper was stunned, looking at the back of Princess Dexiao and the jeweled horse, he took the purse in his hand, and turned around to cover the door.

This time I came to see the old lady, Changsheng is to show off her wealth, so the rewards for the slaves and the gifts for the big and small masters are extremely rich.

Soon a house slave ran to report to the old lady, and when they reached the second courtyard, the old lady had already greeted them with a complicated expression.

Now it's not what it used to be, probably someone often comes to visit, she often wears a more formal home, wearing a brown Fu full of Shu brocade sleeves, revealing the blue and gold pleated skirt below, with a gray squirrel skin inlaid with rubies on her head, and six gourd golden hairpins inserted in the back of her head.

Looking at the two people in front of her who were gorgeous and dazzling and very different from before, especially the immortal who was almost reborn, the old lady's lips moved a few times, and she naturally bowed down, saying: "The people see Her Royal Highness the princess!" ”

Changsheng stopped at the right time: "The old lady is the mother-in-law of Changsheng's relatives, this is not outside, it should be a family ceremony!" ”

After speaking, he pulled Mingjing to kneel on the brocade mat laid out by Juxiang in time, and bowed to the old lady, who has been in the palace for eight years, and she has become accustomed to the etiquette of this era.

The old lady didn't seem to expect Changsheng to really respect her, her eyes were a little red, and she took her hand and entered the house, feeling very complicated. She would never have dreamed that the upbringing aunt who was desperate and attached to the Xie family's life would have such a creation and identity.

She also knows very well that some of the respect and favor she is now received by a woman who has no decree comes from the Pei family, and most of them come from this Princess Dexiao, because she is the mother-in-law of Princess Dexiao.

She was born in a famous family, and she was born with a noble status and was loved in every way, even if she was in the Sui and Tang dynasties, she did not suffer anything, and even if there was a war outside, she just returned to the ancestral house of the Xie family from the Xie Mansion in the capital with her children, and still kept a stable and rich life.

The raiding of Xie's house is the biggest shame and disaster in her life, and it is also the greatest suffering she has suffered.

But this kind of dignity and tranquility was brought to her by her daughter-in-law, who she had always suppressed and despised, and now she and her own children and grandchildren are almost all relying on her snort to live.

While enjoying the benefits she brings, she is very conflicted and jealous from the inside, why can't this luck fall on her son and daughter-in-law? Does she have to rely on the snort of people to make a good living?

That Rui Gu also returned to the old lady, she glanced at Changsheng with a complicated expression, and very respectfully took a group of house slaves to kowtow to Changsheng and Mingjing, and Changsheng waved his hand.

Ju Xiang opened her mouth to ask them to be even, and after asking the old lady, she asked Rui Gu to follow her to receive the princess's reward for all the house slaves and maids, and then clean up the house where Changsheng took a nap at noon with Rui Gu, which was the room where she and Ming Jing lived when they got married.

Since they left, the door of the room was locked, and after the immortal life story was revealed and she was crowned princess, the old lady asked those old things to be removed and replaced with new brocade tents and other things, which were sprinkled and cleaned every day, and remained empty, in case she came back to worship her ancestors.

The old lady made people hold hot tea, and Changsheng handed over the gift list with a smile: "I haven't come to visit the old lady for so long, it's immortal and unfilial, this is a small gift for you, the second brother and sister-in-law, and a few little nephews and nieces, and ask the old lady to accept it for them." ”

The old lady was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly glanced at it, and then looked at Changsheng's clothes, secretly frightened, how rich is she with such a big hand?

He thought about it and scolded lightly: "Mingjing has seen twenty childless, and now that you are pregnant, you naturally have to be very careful, if you don't come, you won't come, your own people don't pay attention to this, as long as you give birth to children to Mingjing, it is the greatest filial piety to the old body!" ”

Changsheng was about to say thank you, and Lin Xinhui's presumptuous voice came from outside: "Who is so big?" Drove the car directly into the gate of our Xie family! And is there no upbringing? ”

The old lady's face turned white when she heard the words, Changsheng and Mingjing came back, did the slave dare not report her and Mingqing? She just didn't accept Changsheng's sudden sparrow turned into a phoenix and was jealous before she said nonsense, and this ridiculous method also made it?

Whether she accepts it or not, Changsheng is now the princess of the Tang Dynasty who is personally crowned by the emperor, or the eldest daughter of the hot King Huai'an, the entire Xie family is relying on her snort, but because of the word jealousy, she can't even take care of the minimum face and etiquette, if she is in front of other princesses, she will have been cured of the crime of dereliction!

Changsheng saw that the old lady's hands were shaking with anger, afraid that she would not be able to stand it, and was about to explain, Lin Xinhui and Ming Qing stepped in one after the other, looking straight at the luxurious and compelling Changsheng, one was jealous, and the other had a complicated expression.

She hurriedly stood up and calmed down: "The old lady is not to blame, it is all blamed Changsheng for being in a hurry to talk to the old lady, and before he can make it clear, the reason why the carriage rushed in directly was because there were two carriages containing very important things to be handed over to the old lady and the second sister-in-law!" ”

Something for two carriages? Without waiting for Ming Qing and Lin Xinhui to react, the old lady said angrily: "There are no rules, Princess Dexiao is here, why don't you hurry up and make a big salute, what are you shouting?" Aren't you afraid to be cured of your sins of dereliction? ”

Lin Xinhui was stunned for a moment, glanced at Changsheng unwillingly, saw Ming Qing pull her to kneel, and angrily shook off Ming Qing's hand, and the two knelt down with different expressions and bowed three times and bowed nine times.

Changsheng sat upright and accepted it, and then invited them to be flat, and then performed a family ceremony with Mingjing. The old lady is an elder, she can be exempted from her courtesy, why should these two people? Of course, let them feel the difference in their current status, lest they still think that she is the helpless aunt who raises her.

After the two got up and sat down, Lin Xinhui's face turned pale, and she seemed to really feel the difference between the identities of the two now, and Ming Qing looked at the immortal and luxurious with a blank expression, and lowered her eyelids, not knowing what she was thinking.

The old lady glared at Lin Xinhui warningly, and said with a respectful expression: "Fortunately, the princess didn't bring a guard of honor this time, otherwise this small mansion really can't accommodate it, and it is not good for people to stand in the cold wind on such a cold day."

The old house of you and your colt has been sprinkled and cleaned every day, and the bedding has been replaced with new ones, thinking that if you come back, you will have a place to rest. I thought you would wait for the birth of the child to comfort your ancestors and ancestors, but I didn't expect it to come in handy today. Although it is an official road from Chang'an, it is also very bumpy, I don't know if you are okay? ”

Then he asked a few words about Jinshu's situation in the palace, thanked the queen mother, thanked her for raising her granddaughter, and greeted King Huai'an and Princess Ji, Anyang and Mingche, as well as Changsheng's maternal grandfather and Aunt Tai and others.

Just don't ask what is in the carriage, Changsheng answered one by one, respectful in his heart, and asked a few children, the old lady said that the two older ones were in class, and Jin Niang thought that no one was playing with her, so she followed the fool, so she asked people to bring them over, Changsheng stopped them, and said goodbye at lunch, and asked people to give gifts to the children.

The old lady thought of the valuable ruby gold jewel on the gift list, and saw that although Lin Xinhui's expression calmed down, she never asked about her immortal body and the situation on the road, and sighed in her heart, she hadn't taught this daughter-in-law to be smart for more than ten years.

The hustle and bustle was almost over, and Mingjing Fang stepped forward to tell the old lady that the main reason for his return this time was to repair the Xie house, and he wanted to ask the old lady to move in before the New Year, and everyone would live as they would in the future.

The old lady stood up with an "ah", and immediately burst into tears, and was about to thank Changsheng. Although this house was returned, it was not given back to the Xie family, but to Princess Dexiao, although she wanted to go back and see, and wanted to retire there to die, but she couldn't pull that face.

She has lived there for decades, she has been the mistress of that house, everything has been carefully taken care of and arranged, everything is to her heart, there are still memories of her living with her husband, there are traces of her children growing up, leaving that house makes her feel rootless and rootless.

Self-esteem and sadness still made her refuse: "How good is this, the house is for the princess." ”

Changsheng smiled and said: "The old lady doesn't know, although the county uncle's mansion was given to me by reputation, in fact, the emperor wants to return it to the Xie family in this way, but the anger has not subsided for the time being." Other imperial gifts can't be given away casually, but when the emperor gave me the county uncle's mansion, he said that it was mine, and I could do whatever I wanted.

The emperor's intentions are so obvious, no matter how stupid Changsheng is, he will know the meaning of the song when he hears the strings, so the reputation of the county uncle mansion is returned to me, in fact, it is returned to the Xie family, the old lady is the head of the Xie family, how can she not live? ”

Whether Li Shimin returned the Xie Mansion or returned the things that were stolen, it was all for the sake of the face of the old uncle Xie Wuya, in fact, it was through her to return it to the Xie family, and she was not really stupid enough to monopolize it.

What's more, she is now richer than the real princess, not to mention the several full warehouses in the princess's mansion, there are dozens of shops and villas under her name alone, and she really is not rare to find a county uncle's mansion.

It was like a chicken for her, if it weren't for her sister's relics, her and Mingjing's best memories, and the traces of Jinshu's growth, if it weren't for Mingjing's ancestral home, she wouldn't have asked Li Shimin for it at all, no matter what she wanted at that time, it was much more affordable and easier than this.

The old lady didn't know that Changsheng had already put the Xie Mansion under Mingjing's name, the former Junbo Mansion was just a separate courtyard for her, but for Mingjing, it was his ancestral home, with his ancestral hall and family ancestral hall, which was his foundation, and she couldn't let Mingjing have no roots and no foundation.

Of course, this was also decided by her and her father, the princess, and the princess to figure out Li Shimin's intentions.

Lin Xinhui was anxious, can this remote and simple Zhuangzi be compared with the rich and comfortable county uncle's mansion, and immediately asked: "What about us?" (To be continued.) )
