Chapter 223: First Palm (7)
Xiang Xi smiled and sent Zhen Xuan out of the Immortal Residence, turned around and went back to the house to pack a few things for Cai Xi and sent them to the firewood room in the back cover room.
Cai Xi stopped crying at this time, sat there with her knees hugged, and when she heard Xiang Xi's voice, she raised her eyes.
"Why are you so confused! I admitted my mistake at that time, how could my ancestor not protect you? Why did he push it to the second grandmother, and he told the truth. Xiang Xi sighed and put down the cloth bag, "Mother Li doesn't dare to move at this time, I cleaned up some for you, all of them were rewarded by the ancestors in the past, after all, it was a sum of money, and it also saved your brother and sister-in-law from complaining." ”
Xiang Xi was about to walk away, but Cai Xi suddenly spoke up and sneered: "It took us a few years to climb from a little girl to today, but we don't want to fold in the hands of Ziyuan's little hooves. I have to say, Xiangxi, you are very good at seizing opportunities. ”
Xiang Xi understood what Cai Xi was referring to, and smiled without answering.
"I've been in Tianyi Courtyard for a few days, and there are few people there who don't worry about it, so you should pay attention, don't accidentally be pulled down."
Xiang Yi smiled unabated: "I didn't rush over there, how could they come to embarrass me." ”
Zhen Xuan returned to Tianyi Courtyard, changed his clothes, sat down to take the tea cup offered by the painting, moistened his throat, and asked, "Cai Xi has been with the ancestor for seven or eight years, what about Xiang Xi?" ”
"Miss Xiangxi is later, Cai Xi's Laozi is the grandson of the ancestor who married, and the ancestor is particularly high-minded."
Zhen Xuan nodded when he heard this, Xiang Xi's words at that time were not difficult to understand, but with such an obvious action, the ancestor should also understand, didn't Xiang Xi scruples?
Cai Xi was taken out of the house at noon the next day.
Hearing Feng Yuan talk about this, Mrs. Zheng also shook her head. At the age of Caixi. If you boil it for another year or two, you can release it. With the support of the ancestors, the lady of the small business still has hope, and this thing is really a bamboo basket to draw water.
Zheng remembered that there was one less first-class in Changsheng Curie, and he was afraid that he would be short of waiting for a while.
Zhen Xuan originally wanted to say that this matter started because of Tianyi Courtyard, whether she would go to serve in front of the ancestors, but after thinking about it, after entering the door. Listening to the old lady Zheng in the wind garden, she never asked her to make rules, and the Zheng family did not ask her to serve in the Zhonghe Courtyard, so it was not appropriate to rashly bring it up at this time, so she gave up.
When he accompanied the Zheng family to the Changsheng Residence to ask for peace the next morning, the ancestor had already promoted a second-class and gave him the name Yixi, and took a third-class to make up for the second-class shortage, only asking the Zheng family to add another third-class, and the Zheng family responded.
In the afternoon, the autumn breeze is getting cooler. Zhen Xuan half-closed the window lattice to be a female red, and Aunt Zhong, the chess leader, came.
Mom Aya hurriedly put down the work in her hand. I got up and cleaned up, and when I looked back, the curtain had been raised.
Zhong's is dressed in a ginger armor, with a ruyi button, thin makeup, delicate eyebrows and eyes, and a kind taste: "Please second grandma An." ”
This is the first time Zhen Xuan has seen Zhong's family, and she smiled and asked Tao Aya to help her, moved to the embroidery pier to sit down, and served tea.
"I should have visited my sister-in-law first, but I saw my sister-in-law in a hurry every day, and I thought she was also very busy on weekdays, so I didn't dare to disturb. Little sister-in-law, is my sister-in-law free today? Zhong is Xia Liqing's second-room grandmother, Zhen Xuan wants to call her "little sister-in-law", and she also asked the rules of chess before, and the chess explanation is that the second-room room carried up by the maid in the room can sit on the embroidery pier.
"Although our grandmother is busy, if the second grandmother passes, it will naturally make her happy." Zhong's smile was gentle, and his voice was soft, "I came to see Yue Niang, I don't know if she is awake at this time?" ”
Zhen Xuan listened to Zhong's intention, so he asked Zhiqi to go to the small courtyard to ask, and after a while, he came to reply, Du Yueniang's spirit was okay, and he invited Zhong over.
Zhong stayed for more than half an hour before he came out with red eyes, said goodbye to Zhen Xuan, and went back.
Zhen Xuan was embroidering while listening to chess.
It is said that Zhong and Du Yueniang are fellow villagers, so the relationship has always been good, and Du Yueniang often walks around when she is in good health. I mentioned Cai Xi again, I heard that they had played together when they didn't enter the house, compared to the other two, Cai Xi was more intimate with the house because the elders were the ancestors to marry, but I didn't expect that the Zhong family was sold into the house at a young age but became a second-room grandmother, Du Yueniang suffered for a few years and was carried in to win the heart of the ancestors, only Cai Xi was still a maid, probably because of this, he was a little dissatisfied.
After Zhen Xuan heard the most reluctant, she asked, "After Cai Xi went back that day, how could the old ancestor call her over again?" ”
Zhiqi was stunned, was silent for a while, and said, "The slave doesn't know." ”
I couldn't answer the chess, and after a few days, I inquired about it, and it seemed that it was Xiang Xi's advice that day, and Cai Xi did not object.
Xiang Xi must know Cai Xi's thoughts, under such a suggestion, even if Cai Xi does not make a mistake, Xiang Xi will not lose, but Cai Xi did not suppress his temper in the end.
Zhen Xuan's mind came up with the goose-egg-faced willow-eyebrow maid, and said secretly: "It's a person who will seize opportunities." ”
Early in the morning, when Xia Yiqing went to listen to Fengyuan's greetings, Zhen Xuan found that the osmanthus flowers in the garden were blooming.
Mrs. Zheng liked it, and when Zhen Xuan and Zheng returned from the Eternal Residence, she left them to enjoy the flowers together.
The golden cinnamon is fragrant, and the breath is sweet and greasy, Xia Huqing is overjoyed, and Mrs. Zheng made some flower spikes, sent them to make osmanthus candy, and went to read a few words with Zhen Xuan, "Sister-in-law remember to promise me osmanthus sugar lotus", and asked Mrs. Zheng to laugh and laugh, and the maids and servants in the yard all smiled and said some happy words, and Mrs. Zheng went back to the house with all her joy.
Just waiting for Mrs. Zheng to sit down, Yuzhu came to report that Mrs. Li Yuanwai was here.
Zhen Xuan saw that Mrs. Zheng had a guest and wanted to go with the Zheng family and Xia Yiqing, but Mrs. Zheng waved her hand and said, "It's okay, it's all my old sisters, you can also meet and say hello." ”
Mrs. Li Yuanwai was also a female official in the past, and she was the palace maid in charge of flowers and trees in the palace of the queen mother at that time.
Zhen Xuan saw the ceremony, Mrs. Li smiled and praised a few words, and handed over the greeting gift: "I got married that day, and I couldn't see it really with a hijab, I just felt that this bride was upright and had exquisite steps, and she would definitely look good, and it was really the case today." The old lady is blessed to have such an excellent granddaughter-in-law, which is enviable. ”
Mrs. Zheng smiled: "It's also a good teaching from my mother's family." ”
"No, this girl's family, her background and upbringing are the most important, not to mention the official eunuchs, even the small business family does not dare to neglect their daughter's upbringing." Speaking of these, Mrs. Li suddenly opened the conversation clip, as if she had something in her heart, and just bumped into it, "Old lady, I won't hide it from you, I really have a headache." My niece, alas! ”
Old Lady Zheng leaned back on the pillow behind her, thought about it, and asked, "Your niece and granddaughter...... I think there were fourteen. I saw it a few years ago, and he was sensible and polite. ”
"I look at her as good, in terms of appearance and conduct, how can we say that it is also from the palace, I have seen many outstanding female officials, I praise, if my niece and granddaughter can enter the palace to be an errand, she will definitely be better than me. But some people look down on her. ”
Mrs. Li said angrily, and it could be seen that she valued this niece and granddaughter very much.
The Li family originally wanted to say goodbye to the Sun family, and set Miss Li to the sixth master of the Sun family, which was originally a matter of knowing the roots, and both families were very satisfied, but they didn't want to, Sun Liuye thought he was the Monkey King, turned the sky upside down, and secretly changed Miss Li's eight characters to the eight characters of the daughter of the wine seller in the city. My aunt and grandmother went back to her parents' house for this reason and said it once, but before Sun Liuye opened her mouth, she said that her aunt was not, saying that she relied on the door to support her mother's family, and she couldn't move her own man, and she didn't even lift a concubine.
Mrs. Li pursed her lips and said, "I remember that this aunt and grandmother seem to be married to the Pei family......"
As soon as the words came out, Mrs. Li's face turned pale, and she suddenly remembered that Zhen Xuan was the daughter of the Pei family, and it was not a wonderful thing to gossip in front of people.
Mrs. Li secretly glanced at Mrs. Zheng, she didn't know if Mrs. Zheng was satisfied with this granddaughter-in-law, but according to her temper, even if she didn't like it, it was her own family, and the granddaughter-in-law would definitely not be happy if she gave face to face.
Mrs. Li cleared her throat and smiled and wanted to round the conversation: "This Sixth Master Sun, this is too much. There are no people in the house, after all, it is the matter of the husband and wife, and even the in-laws' family have not spoken, how can the mother's family take care of the aunt's generosity. ”
Mrs. Zheng glanced at Mrs. Li, raised her eyebrows and said nothing, bowed her head and drank tea, until Mrs. Li was shocked by her unrecognizable appearance and sweated a thin layer of sweat, Mrs. Zheng slowly put down the teacup and said, "There is still some truth in this." The affairs of other people's inner courtyards, good or bad, are all other people's families, and the in-laws still can't intervene, and we outsiders have nothing to say. It's not so much about the rights and wrongs of his family as it is about his own affairs. ”
Mrs. Li smiled: "The old lady is right. ”
Zhen Xuan folded her hands and pinched her handkerchief, she was thinking about Sun.
Over the years, their sisters have envied the Sun family, the Sun family has a support, a gentle temperament, and is kind to several sisters-in-law in the family, not to mention Zhenyan's love, even the Duan family and Mrs. Ma like her, don't embarrass her, and have a pair of children under their knees, it seems that the beauty of the world has been left on her.
It was the first time that Zhen Xuan knew that behind the scenes, even if it was her mother's family, there was also a saying that the Sun family was jealous.
These gossips, the Sun family should be knowledgeable.
Mrs. Li picked up some words again, mentioning the past of being on an errand in the palace in the past, Mrs. Zheng responded lightly and was not enthusiastic, Mrs. Li understood that she said the wrong thing, and staying today would also provoke Mrs. Zheng's suspicion, so she got up and said goodbye.
Mrs. Zheng didn't leave her, and asked Zhen Xuan to send Mrs. Li to the second gate, and she went to rest by the help of the jade brick. (To be continued......)
