"Miss Xu, please get off the sedan chair!" Just when Xu Zhijiao was amazed, the sedan chair had stopped, and the maid stepped forward to lift the sedan curtain and said gently and respectfully. Xu Zhijiao walked off the sedan chair and saw that the place where she stopped was a courtyard, the rockery in the courtyard was craggy, and under the rockery was a plum forest, although only a few plum blossoms were open, but as soon as the wind blew, there was a faint fragrance into the nose. Xu Zhijiao took a deep breath and saw that there were a few bamboo forests not far away, in this winter, there were plum blossoms blooming, and there were bamboos to enjoy.

"Miss Xu, please come over here!" When the maids left Xu Zhijiao to enjoy the scenery, they saw that Xu Zhijiao had already looked at it a few times, and spoke very appropriately, Xu Zhijiao glanced at the maid, and saw that the material she was wearing was not as good as the material worn by the maid, but the maid did not see pride on her face, only respect, and really this person in the palace was completely different from the people in other mansions.

Xu Zhijiao followed the maid to the rockery, the top of the rockery is flat, there is a pavilion on the mountain, the pavilion is divided into three, the largest one in the middle, the maid led Xu Zhijiao into the pavilion, there was already a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl sitting there in the pavilion, saw Xu Zhijiao come in, looked at Xu Zhijiao and smiled: "Is it the sister of the Xu family?" ”

Xu Zhijiao was still thinking about who this girl was, and when she heard her reveal her identity, she looked at her and said with some surprise: "I've never seen my sister, I don't know who my sister is?" ”

"My family name is Chu, and my brother is my cousin!" It turned out to be the young daughter of the British duke, and after listening to the introduction, Xu Zhijiao smiled: "It turned out to be Sister Chu, I came to Beijing for a short time, and I don't know a few people, Sister Chu, don't laugh at me!" ”

"Sister Xu, please sit down, this person, I have come and gone a lot, and I have slowly got to know more!" Miss Chu is a woman who is very popular with everyone, she is like a spring breeze when she speaks, and the tutor of the British government is really good. Xu Zhijiao commented in her heart, and sat down with Miss Chu, only to find that only here is an open window, and what you see when you open the window is the plum forest under the mountain, if you can sit in front of this window when the plum blossoms are in full bloom, and there is snow in the sky, it must be a scenery of ten points, no wonder the snow scene in King Wu's mansion is better than other mansions!

Xu Zhijiao and Miss Chu said a few words, Xu Zhijiao said a few words about Guizhou, and listened to Miss Chu reply a few words about things in Beijing, and the two gradually became intimate, and saw another woman walk in, and saw that they The girl stopped, Miss Chu had already done her homework, and knew who they were, and she also smiled and stepped forward to introduce herself, and called this person Miss Liu!

Miss Liu is Yulin's sister-in-law, Xu Zhijiao wrote down the relationship in her heart, and talked to Miss Liu. Miss Liu did not grow up in Beijing, but has lived on the border for more than ten years, and when she speaks, she still has a voice on the border side, and when she looks down, she smiles: "When I was at the border, it was rare to see such a neat plum blossom." At that time, I read the poem of the red plum in the snow, and asked my father, who said that the border is always bitter cold, and the snow is heavier than that of the capital, where can I find such a scene? I didn't believe it, so I went quietly with my brother to look for it, and almost fell down the mountain! ”

"It turns out that there is such a thing, speaking of which, I really envy you all for going out to see, like me, I grew up in Beijing, and I can't see this square inch of land!" Miss Chu is a very haode conversation partner, talking to her, there will always be no lack of topics, these words made Liu Xu and Xu both laugh, Miss Liu has already said: "Not really, what we went out to see is just Jing, Sister Chu is in this capital, what she sees is a person, this person is different!" ”

"What is there to ponder in the human heart? If I see something I don't like, I don't come and go, can anyone bite me? There was a voice coming from outside, the girl who spoke with her eyebrows fluttering, Miss Chu knew that this was the pearl of the eldest princess of Renhe Song Wanran, and hurriedly pulled Xu Liu and the two to greet each other, Song Wanran was a little similar to the eldest princess of Renhe, and raised her hand casually to let them sit down before looking out of the window: "It is said that the winter scenery in Uncle Wu's mansion is the most beautiful, and I think it is my mother's exaggerated words, I saw it today, and it was so!" ”

"My cousin came early!" Qiu Ruwan also walked in from the outside, and greeted everyone one by one before looking at Song Wanran: "In Aunt Renhe's house, the scenery is not bad!" ”

"This is nature, who is like Aunt Yunmeng!" Song Wanran has been pampered since she was a child, even in the palace, there are many people who let her, Renhe Eldest Princess is dissatisfied with the actions of Princess Yunmeng, and Song Wanran will not look down on Qiu Ruwan much. When the two meet, there are often small frictions, Qiu Ruwan didn't expect Song Wanran to not give herself the slightest face, and her eyebrows couldn't help frowning.

This makes Song Wanran even more disdainful, the dignified princess's daughter, what do you always do with those childish actions? I was really taught bad by her mother. Seeing that Song Wanran was about to say a few words about Qiu Ruwan, Miss Chu said at the right time: "In the princess's mansion, naturally it is not as good as other people's mansions, and in the princess's mansion of Qinguo, the scenery is also good!" ”

"Sister Yurong's house, of course, is different from other houses, Sister Yurong likes to be spacious, and the scenery is a different scenery!" Hearing that Miss Chu changed the topic, Qiu Ruwan started talking to Miss Chu again.

"Is this what happens to the daughters together?" Yulin only heard that there was some disagreement between Qiu Song and the two, but she had never looked at it carefully, and when she saw this, she couldn't help but whisper, naturally no one answered, Yulin's hand supported her chin, and after looking at it for a while, she went out from another door and turned to the pavilion in the middle.

When the master came, everyone hurriedly got up to greet each other, and Song Wanran had already pouted: "Cousin Yongle, why haven't you come out for a long time, it's so boring to speak!" This is not someone else, it is Qiu Ruwan, Qiu Ruwan's temperament is different from that of Princess Yunmeng, and her eyebrows have been slightly wrinkled. Yulin smiled faintly and said, "You are the most anxious, isn't it good for the little sisters to be together and talk affectionately?" ”

Song Wanran shook her head: "It's good, it's good, but it's different!" Saying that, Song Wanran deliberately glanced at Qiu Ruwan, Qiu Ruwan couldn't help but have a fire in her heart, but it was difficult for Yulin to speak beside her, so she reached out and pulled Yulin's sleeve: "Cousin Yongle, if someone comes in the future, I won't come!" ”

Seeing that the turmoil was about to start, the three young ladies held their breath and did not dare to speak.

"It's all cousins, how can you remember the bad if you only remember haode? Didn't you grandma teach you? Yulin said impartially, and asked the other three young ladies to sit down, and then took Song Qiu and the two to sit down: "Today's cold party is specially organized for you when I heard that the two of you are a little unhappy on weekdays." Why do you dislike each other? ”

Qiu Ruwan lowered her head and bit her lower lip without speaking, Song Wanran had already spoken: "Since Cousin Yongle asked like this, then I will also say bluntly, all cousins are almost the same people, but she has to make a grievance from time to time and live like her mother!" ”

"Where do I always make a grievance?" Qiu Ruwan raised her head, there were already tears flashing in her eyes, but they didn't fall, which made Song Wanran find the handle: "Cousin Yongle, look, she is like this now, like who bullied her?" ”

"Aren't you bullying Cousin Qiu?" Yulin said such a sentence with a smile, Song Wanran couldn't help but stop talking, she has always been by the side of the eldest princess Renhe, and she pays attention to being frank and honest in her life, saying what she has to say, sometimes she doesn't know that what she says will stab someone.

Seeing Song Wanran's speech, Yulin patted her hand: "Look, you think you're telling the truth, but sometimes you stab people, and even if you stab you, you have to allow others to be wronged, otherwise what's the matter?" Song Wanran's mouth couldn't help but: "But Mama said ......"

"You're getting older now, and what Mama said may not be all right! Cousins, if they don't get along well, won't they make people joke? Song Wanran lowered her head, and Yulin said to Qiu Ruren politely: "Cousin Qiu, you too, as a cousin, what my sister said is not right, can't you just say it?" ”

Qiu Ruwan hummed slightly, and Yulin had already smiled and said: "It's not a pity that this cold will be tonight, there are not a few plum blossoms, otherwise, everyone can enjoy the plum blossoms!" ”

"It's good to enjoy the buds, besides, we just listened to the princess's teachings, and we think it's very beneficial!" Miss Chu was the first to speak, and the small pear vortex on her lips appeared from time to time. Yulin smiled faintly at Miss Chu, and then looked at Xu Zhijiao, from the beginning of coming in, Yulin wanted to look at Xu Zhijiao carefully, and only then did she look at her at this moment: "What does Miss Xu think?" ”

"The princess is very much like a sister!" Xu Zhijiao didn't know Weishenme, although she had only seen Yulin a few times, she felt that Yulin was always so kind, and she always wanted to contact her, and this admiration was not because of Yulin's identity, but because of something else. At this moment, Yulin asked, Xu Zhijiao couldn't help but say this, and after finishing speaking, she saw that everyone was silent, especially that Miss Song was a little dissatisfied, knowing that she shouldn't say this by herself, so she hurriedly lowered her head.

In terms of blood, she should indeed be her own sister, Yulin forced herself to take her eyes back, and said two or three words to Miss Liu, the maids had already stepped forward to arrange everything, steamed haode taro, fried haode quail, and other fresh fruits that were difficult to see in this season, all in front of everyone.

Since Xu Zhijiao said that, she consciously lost her words, just lowered her head and blushed, and at this moment, when she saw things in front of her, she could only pick up a peanut and peel it slowly, the red clothes were gone, Xu Zhijiao still didn't put the peanut in her mouth!

"Sister Xu, Princess Yongle is a gentle person, don't worry!" Her cramped Miss Chu also saw it, and whispered in her ear. Xu Zhijiao put the peanut in her mouth in a panic, but she felt that it was wrong to put it halfway, so she hurriedly put her hand down and smiled at Miss Chu: "I know!" ”

Saying that, Xu Zhijiao looked at Yulin again, only to feel that the familiarity and intimacy on Yulin's body were getting heavier and heavier, this is not something that only people who have met a few times can bring, is it weishenme? Xu Zhijiao's brows furrowed slightly, and she was still thinking about it, when she heard the sound of a child babbling outside the door, and then saw a red ball running in.

If you take a closer look, it's not a red dumpling, but a child wearing a red dress, with a little rouge on his forehead, and his pink makeup is very good-looking. This should be Princess Yongle's beloved daughter.

Xu Zhijiao glanced at Xiao Wangshu's face, Xiao Wangshu was about to run to Yulin, but halfway through, he felt that someone was looking at him, turned his head to look at Xu Zhijiao, ran to Xu Zhijiao with a smile on his face, and opened his arms: "I want to hug!" ”

Xu Zhijiao was caught off guard, and was hugged by Xiao Wangshu's legs, afraid that she would trip her if she moved, so she only bent down to look at her: "Do you want me to hug you?" Xiao Wangshu will not hug anyone who wants to hug her, at this moment, after waiting for a long time and not seeing Xu Zhijiao hugging herself, her small mouth couldn't help but pout, she climbed onto Xu Zhijiao's lap, and opened her hands to hug Xu Zhijiao's arm: "I want to hug!" ”

Xu Zhijiao was almost flattered and gently hugged Xiao Wangshu in her arms, Xiao Wangshu grinned again, Miss Chu stretched out a finger to tease Xiao Wangshu, Xiao Wangshu immediately held her finger, Miss Chu smiled and said, "Xiao Shu'er, why don't you give me a hug?" ”

Xiao Wangshu didn't know this, and looked up at Yulin, Yulin suppressed the surprise in her heart, looked up and asked the maid: "Who brought Xiao Shu'er?" ”

When the young lady woke up from her nap, she cried out to see the princess, and the slave maid had planned to take her to the garden to have a look, but when she was put on the ground, she came up by herself. It's a slave damned! The nurse who came in with her had already fallen to the ground and pleaded guilty.

Yulin told her to get up and said, "Take her down, she's still young, and you will have to wait for another ten years to participate in such a banquet!" Xiao Wangshu's mother said this, her mouth was pursed high, and she refused to let go of Xu Zhijiao's arm, Yulin sank her face at her daughter, and Xiao Wangshu obediently let go of her hand and was taken away by the nurse.

"When I was a child, I used to sneak away to my mother's banquets!" Song Wanran had already said with a smile, and then pointed out: "When you participate in the banquet, you must always start from a young age, and you won't make a fool of yourself until later!" ”

Xu Zhijiao was saying goodbye to Xiao Wangshu, but when she heard Song Wanran's words, her face couldn't help but turn red.

"In this dynasty, scholars are selected by imperial examinations, and there are also scholars from poor backgrounds, and their mothers, wives and sisters, it is inevitable that there are those who are not skilled in etiquette. If you only blindly ridicule others for not knowing etiquette, you will inevitably lose everyone's style! Yulin's voice was very flat, which made Song Wanran's face blush: "Cousin, I didn't ......"

"Heavenly nephew, it is inevitable to be proud, as a woman, even if it is a princess, you have to be a husband, if you are only blindly proud and forget about anything else, won't you be discordant?" Song Wanran's face turned even redder, and she asked in a low voice, "Cousin is here to teach me a lesson today?" ”

"It's not to teach you, it's just to tell you that you are going to get married in the future, and after you get married, the things you encounter are not as simple as in the boudoir, the eldest aunt is the eldest princess, and the courtesy of the monarch and the minister is in front, so naturally you can not care." Song Wanran's face couldn't help but turn red and red, and she whispered.

Yulin looked at the people at the banquet who didn't speak, and just as she was about to speak, she heard the maid whisper: "The princess also said that there are only a few plum blossoms, and the snow has not yet fallen, and the snow will fall at this moment!" Everyone looked out the window, and sure enough, the sky was fluttering, and small snowdrops began to fall.

"This kind of scene is really beautiful, if there can be poetry, it will be even better!" Miss Chu admired the snow for a while, and then said respectfully to Yulin. Cooling will be in the name of the cold, no one's mind will be on wine and food, poetry and painting, there is always a must.

As soon as Miss Chu said this, Miss Liu proposed to link the sentence, drew up the rhyme, and ordered a fast and haode maid to write next to her.

Although they are all daughters of the boudoir, teaching poetry is also a work done since childhood, and everyone is not far behind, and soon Yulin stopped reading, only listening to a few of them rushing to make sentences there.

Xu Zhijiao grabbed it for a while, and when she saw that Qiu Song and the two began to fight, she stopped and looked at Yulin's face, and the two met their eyes, and Yulin smiled faintly at Xu Zhijiao. Xu Zhijiao was a little bolder, got up and came to Yulin's side: "I always feel that I have known the princess for many years!" ”

"Have you forgotten? Four years ago, I sent you out of Beijing! Yulin's words made Xu Zhijiao's face blush, and then Xu Zhijiao shook her head: "It's not like an acquaintance, but a princess, there is always a different feeling from others, just like a sister!" ”

Although Xu Zhijiao felt that this was wrong, she couldn't help but say it again.

"At my age, it's normal to be your sister." Yulin replied after a long time, and then said in disguise: "Besides, Brother Ling and Brother Ling are now colleagues, and colleagues' sisters naturally have to interact more!" ”

If it was really because of his brother that he was invited by the princess's mansion, Xu Zhijiao didn't know a trace of disappointment in her heart, and then smiled: "It's an honor, I didn't expect that I could enter the palace and see the princess." Talk to the princess like this! ”

If it were given to their friends in the countryside, they would be surprised, but now, they are afraid that they will never see their original partners again. Xu Zhijiao couldn't help but feel a little gloomy after being excited, Yulin noticed the change in her expression, and asked softly, "Don't you like the capital?" ”

Xu Zhijiao looked back at Chu Song and the others who were in that couplet, shook her head first and then nodded: "Even if you don't like it, you have to learn to like it in the future!" Just like the princess just said, there are many things that cannot be accommodated by others! ”

"Miss Xu's tutor is very good!" Yulin didn't speak again after saying this, Xu Zhijiao still looked at Yulin, what was it, so that she felt that the princess was familiar and kind, and it was by no means out of admiration for the big man.

"Ah, I can't grab it, so let's end it!" Song Wanran was so competitive that she patted her chest with her hand and shouted out such a sentence, Qiu Ruwan also smiled: "Cousin Song seems to have done one less sentence than me!" ”

"Although I have done one less sentence than you, I have done better than you!" Song Wanran said this unconvinced, they didn't do it, and the maid also stopped her pen and counted it carefully before saying, "Miss Song has indeed done one less sentence than Miss Qiu!" ”

"I'll see!" The maid presented it, and Yu Lin looked at it carefully before saying, "Cousin Song is older after all, and these sentences are more delicate than Cousin Qiu." After speaking, Yulin picked up the pen and said to Xu Zhijiao: "I just started the beginning, and Miss Xu will end this poem at this time!" ”

Xu Zhijiao should be, read it from beginning to end, thought about it and wrote a sentence. Then put down the pen: "Countryman, very rough, the princess smiled!" Yulin read the whole poem again, and told the maids to take it down and copy it, and each of them got a copy, and then smiled: "Simple and unpretentious, how can it be called rude?" ”

Xu Zhijiao smiled a little embarrassedly, Miss Chu was already secretly thinking in her heart, no matter how good the upbringing of the Guogong Mansion is, after all, it is not as good as the upbringing of the princess! Everyone sat down again, used some things, talked and laughed for a while, and the maid had already sent the copied poems, and each of them took a copy, and the cold party was over, and everyone took their leave, and went home.

Xu Zhijiao sat in the car home, thinking that he wanted to talk to his brother about how Princess Yongle was a tolerant and generous woman, which made him regret refusing the marriage at the beginning. If my brother had married Princess Yongle, today's child would have been his niece. Xu Zhijiao thought in frustration, but put aside why Princess Yongle looked familiar and kind!

"Are you tired of today's cold party?" Liu Jinsong returned to the palace, walked into the house and saw Yulin leaning on the couch with her eyes closed and pretending to sleep, and asked with a smile when she sat next to her.

Yulin opened her eyes and pressed her forehead with her hand: "Ah Song, I may not be able to find that kind of cordiality between sisters in my life!" ”

"How can you suddenly say that? Aren't you and Princess Qin very close? Liu Jinsong hugged his wife over and leaned on the couch, which was much more comfortable.

"My sister is different from me, I am a pampered flower, a flower that has not suffered any wind and rain, and my sister is the big tree that can cover the sky and the sun. When I was a child, it was just that, and when I was older, my sister wouldn't be impatient to listen to my thoughts! It's really hard to understand what is on her daughter's mind, Liu Jinsong snorted: "Even if you don't, your life will not change, after all, you used to live like this!" ”

"That's different!" Yulin looked at her husband: "At that time, I didn't want to!" "I don't want to tell people what is on my mind, I only hide those things in secret, and I only show people with a smiling face, and now I want to tell others, but when I want to tell them, I know that many things in my heart are not random to tell others!

It's really rare to have a sister who shares joys, sorrows, and sorrows!

"Then you can only wait for our daughter to be older!" Liu Jinsong felt his wife's depression and patted her hand to comfort her.

"Ah Song, do you think that I am different from the original now? Will you regret marrying such a person? Yulin's words made Liu Jinsong smile: "No, I don't regret it, Yulin, I will like what you become." Especially now, it feels more real, I can cry and laugh, and it's my wife. And not a princess who is always dignified and quiet. Yulin, everyone says that I am married to a princess, but for me, I am married to Yulin! ”

It is the person who will still make him fall in love with him when he throws away that layer of identity, and the person who will still make him obsessed no matter what he becomes.

Yulin smiled: "Since you don't care, then what do I care?" Ason, I'm very happy, really, very happy! ”

The author has something to say: In fact, princesses, although there are many people around them, are serious and lonely.
