Chapter 249: Determination
Not only should you not be an enemy, but you should also make friends, Mother Hua said secretly. In fact, except for the original Xia Ruoxue, there is no conflict between the Sima family and the Yongping Marquis Mansion or the Wenyuan Marquis Mansion.
Now that Xia Ruoxue is gone, she is no longer the second lady of the Anguo Mansion, and I heard that she is no longer from the Xia family, so there is no entanglement between the two families, right?
However, Mother Hua said that Sima Yan's mood at this time was probably not to listen to what she said, and the lord of Yue County would not come to participate in the ceremony, which meant that Ning Shizi would probably not come. Mother Hua knew very well how much Sima Yan hoped that Ning Shizi would be able to come on this special day.
Shaking her head secretly, Mother Hua retreated and took away all the maids in the house.
Sima Yan let go of her biting lower lip, tears streaming down her face: he may not come, he definitely won't come......
For what? It's Xia Shuyao every time? She doesn't like Xia Shuyao, she doesn't like it very much.
Others always like to put her and Xia Shuyao in the same category, because they are both orphan girls who have lost their parents. But she didn't like it, and she was proud that she didn't want to be compared to the vulgar woman who was born and grew up in the market. She is more than a hundred times stronger than Xia Shuyao!
God has hit her proud capital again and again, making her feel that she is getting thinner and thinner.
She has a heroic father and brother who left her infinite glory, and Xia Shuyao's father turned out to be a heroic hero of the Great Zhou Dynasty; Her father and brother saved Prince Qi, and Xia Shuyao's mother cured the Queen Mother's thirst; Her uncle is An Guogong, Xia Shuyao's stepfather is Marquis Wenyuan, and her eldest brother is Marquis Yongping, and they are all powerful ministers of the emperor.
Xia Shuyao is a blessed person pointed out by Master Jingxuan himself. She asked to see Master Jingxuan several times, but she didn't have the opportunity to see him; Xia Shuyao is protected by her brothers. She only has cousins in the next room. I just want to touch her light and share her benefits......
Sima Yan didn't understand very much, since Xia Shuyao was born as an orphan girl in the market, why did God not let her stay in the market all the time, and there were so many things to happen? Why do you want the three of them to come to the capital? Why is it going to affect her life?
Originally, she and Xia Shuyao were one in the sky and the other in the ground, but the gap between them was shrinking at a rapid pace, and now they were almost on the same plane, except for her identity as the county lord. And she had a very bad premonition. The gap between the two of them will widen again, but it is likely to fall in a different direction, Xia Shuyao will go higher and higher, and she will fall down.
No, no, Sima Yan clenched her fists, she couldn't be surpassed by a girl in the market. She must become the princess of Prince Yong, the future princess of Prince Yong. In this world, there are few women who can be more noble than Prince Yong.
Sima Yan instantly injected herself with a powerful force, and she subconsciously straightened her back: even in terms of external conditions. Xia Shuyao can be on par with herself, but her own talent, insight and bearing will never be comparable to herself. I grew up in the Anguo Mansion and received the education of a noble girl. He often goes in and out of the palace and participates in various high-level banquets, and the capital accumulated for a long time in such an environment is not something that can be achieved quickly in one or two years.
However, for her own family affairs, Sima Yan didn't want to wait in a reserved manner any longer, she wanted to ask the Queen Mother to be the master for her. When the new science gold list came out, the queen mother took some rosters to show her, all of them were excellent new science and martial arts scholars, let her see if there was anything she wanted, but unfortunately there was no martial champion Qi Haoning in it.
At that time, the Queen Mother saw that she was silent and didn't ask much, but now she regrets it very much, isn't the Queen Mother going to give her Zhang Luo's family affairs? If she pushes the boat down the river and "shyly" expresses her admiration for Ning Shizi, and the Queen Mother happens to be interested in choosing a concubine for Ning Shizi, maybe she will find out that they are an excellent couple at that time, and immediately give marriage.
However, at that time, she was still expecting Qi Haoning to express her liking her first and wanted to marry her, which was the posture that a fair lady should have. Sima Yan always remembered what Qi Haoning said to her when she was six or seven years old: "You look different from others." It was this sentence that made her believe that she was special in Qi Haoning's eyes...... It's just that I wonder if he still remembers that sentence?
Now it's too late to regret it, and you can only quickly try to remedy it.
After making up her mind, Sima Yan decided to spend half a month embroidering the couplet written in small plum blossom characters, which was the Queen Mother's favorite couplet. She spent a long time practicing writing those words in small plum print. I originally wanted to write more proficiently and then dedicate it to the Queen Mother, but now I can't wait, it's also a good idea to make up for it with embroidery skills, just to show her exquisite embroidery skills at the same time, there are not many people in the capital who can embroider on both sides.
Just do it, Sima Yan was about to call someone to prepare a good brocade suitable for embroidery, when Mother Hua came in: "Girl, Mrs. Yu is here, and said that she would prepare a gift for you in advance." "Mrs. Yu is Ma Guifei's niece Ma Ling'er, who got married in February, and now she has been married for half a year.
Sima Yan and Ma Ling'er have known each other for many years, and their relationship is not too close. But since Ma Ling'er got married, she took the initiative to get closer and closer to her.
"Oh?" Sima Yan's mood improved, "I know what she sent, and the speed is quite fast, and it took less than a month to get it." "What Ma Ling'er sent must be a perfume from Western Fanbang.
The women of the Great Zhou Dynasty like to use incense to lavender their clothes, or carry sachets on their bodies, but the women of Fanbang use perfume to smear them on their bodies. Sima Yan heard that many women from rich and noble families in Yuecheng began to use this kind of thing called perfume.
The last time I entered the palace, Lord Yue and the fourth princess had a very good smell of flowers, and it was said that it was the perfume brought back by Ning Shizi, which made Sima Yan very depressed for a few days.
Within two days, she found that Ma Ling'er was also using the perfume, and asked a few words "casually", and Ma Ling'er immediately said that she would ask someone to get her two bottles. Today, I think I brought her perfume, so that she can use it on the day of the day.
Mother Hua hesitated for a moment and said, "Girl, the Ma family...... It's better for you to keep a certain distance from Mrs. Yu, so as not to be passive in the future, or, if it is difficult to do, maybe the Sima family will be misunderstood by the Queen Mother and the emperor. ”
Sima Yan was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Don't worry, Mom, I will handle it carefully." Mom, next time you have a chance, remember to help me prepare a thicker gift for Mrs. Yu. ”
Seeing that the girl understood what she meant, Mother Hua replied with relief: "Don't worry, I will deal with it." "Money exchanges, valuable and small items to each other, it doesn't matter if you sort it out, and if you are greedy, it is easy to fall into the trap.
Although there are no people in the Anguo Mansion and the entire Sima family in important official positions, and there are not many people who have even entered the ranks, Sima Yan's father was very prestigious in the army during his lifetime, and there are many generals who were single-handedly promoted by him, and many people have received his favors. The emperor and the queen mother named Sima Yan as the lord of Yan, and treated her quite favorably, in addition to Sima Yan's father and brother as meritorious ministers and saved Prince Qi, there is also a purpose to buy the hearts of the army and win people's hearts.
In the living room, when Sima Yan saw Ma Ling'er, she praised sincerely: "Sister Ling is really getting more and more beautiful." Ma Ling'er was originally good-looking, but after getting married, she added the charm of a young woman, and there were no elders to serve in the Yu Mansion, so she was the master of the house as soon as she entered the door, she was in a happy mood, there were no worries, and she was naturally more and more beautiful.
Ma Ling'er smiled happily: "You are the moon flower that is about to bloom!" Now, I got you a bottle of perfume that tastes like a moon flower, and I'm sure you'll be amazed that day. The other bottle is osmanthus scented. ”
Ma Ling'er's maid came over with a rectangular brocade box, and in the box were two thin glass bottles, the bottles were not big, but Sima Yan knew that the light red perfume in it was very valuable. Speaking of which, just those two glass bottles are very valuable.
The two chatted about perfume for a while, and the topic turned to Sima Yan's family affairs. Ma Ling'er asked with concern: "I heard my aunt say that the Queen Mother had taken the information of the new science and technology scholar before, and we all thought that she was going to marry you, tell me quickly, is there such a thing?" ”
Sima Yan nodded: "The Queen Mother has been bothered to do it for me, and the Queen Mother is as kind to me as a mountain." ”
"Who doesn't know that the Empress Dowager has always loved you? Having said that, most of the Jinshi of this year are indeed not as good as the previous one, but there are also many who are outstanding, so you haven't looked at one? Ma Ling'er teased.
Sima Yan sighed lightly: "The ones I saw are not very suitable. "Many outstanding ones are not on that list, some are on the list, and some are not listed, such as Qi Haoning.
Ma Ling'er nodded: "It's a little regrettable, the first six this year, except for Wu Zhuangyuan Ning Shizi, are all the eldest age, and they have already married or married."
A trace of amazement flashed across Sima Yan's face: What does it matter if other people get married, all she cares about is that one.
Ma Ling'er, who had been paying attention to her, did not ignore the suddenness, and sighed secretly: Xianggong guessed correctly, Sima Yan really likes Ning Shizi.
Sima Yan came back to her senses and said with a smile: "Don't talk about me, Sister Ling, you had a good time at that time, and you picked the one that suited your heart." I heard that Lord Yu loves you very much. Sister Ling has a good fate, she can get anything she wants since she was a child, and she is better than others in everything. ”
Ma Ling'er's heart trembled, is it the most satisfying? Can you get anything you want? A tall and handsome figure flashed in her mind, and every thought of it made her heart ache, but she couldn't wave it......
That's it, in fact, my father-in-law is really good, and he is not inferior to Xia Shujie, forget what he shouldn't be worried about! Ma Ling'er instinctively shook her head and said with a smile: "How can anyone be better than others in everything?" There are many things I don't like like you. ”
After sitting for more than two quarters of an hour, Ma Ling'er got up to say goodbye, and Yu Zhengran was still waiting for her news. (To be continued......)
