Chapter 104: Even if it's my sister's congratulatory gift
Kang Mingwei walked out of Zhao Heyan's house, only walked a short distance, and the unhappiness in her heart was quickly pleased by the flattering attitude of the subordinates, and her face showed joy again.
twisted his waist and walked a short distance, and when he arrived at the small courtyard in front of his house, he saw Kang Xinxin sitting on the stone bench in the courtyard by herself, as if she was bored after waiting for a long time, so she lowered her head and rubbed a coral bracelet on her wrist.
Kang Xinxin is the most inconspicuous child in the Kang Mansion, because her mother Wang has served Kang Lu for a long time, but she has never been able to get a son, Kang Lu's attitude towards the Wang family has grown older, she is no longer beautiful, and she has no talent and interest, and she gradually became cold, and it was difficult to go to the three-room courtyard once a month.
Speaking of the status of the third room, there is actually no gap with the second room, but Zhao Heyan has a gentle temperament and knows some poetry and books, so he is more popular with Kang Lu, and Wang Zhen was also a beauty when he was young, but later when he gave birth to Kang Xinxin, he had a difficult birth, and he fell ill, his body was not as good as before, and he couldn't conceive a son, and even his face was not as beautiful and moving as before childbirth.
She is weak and lovely, and she has no son by her side, so few people in this Kang Mansion take her in their eyes, and she is a subordinate who has a little face in front of her master, and she dares to show face to Wang Zhen.
Even so, fortunately, Wang and Kang Xinxin are both forbearant and never care about others.
The Wang family nested in the courtyard of the third room all day long, and he couldn't show his face a few times throughout the year, even at the last birthday banquet, he only went to see Kang's grandmother, and he didn't show up at the banquet. Kang Xinxin's mouth is sweeter, Kang Lu occasionally takes care of one or two, and she is used to pleasing her two sisters, so that her life in Kangfu is a little more moisturizing than her mother.
"How did you get the strength to come to me? Didn't you run to your fourth sister's yard all day long? ”
Kang Xinxin lowered her head and fiddled with the bracelet on her wrist, until Kang Mingwei spoke, she noticed her coming in, and hurriedly stood up and blessed her body, then naughtily stuck out her tongue and took two steps forward, and said with a smile: "The third sister also said that I, third sister, don't you always go to the fourth sister's yard to visit?" ”
Kang Mingwei snorted lightly, but didn't answer, at this time Kang Xinxin had already walked to her side, and said: "Mother said that the fourth sister is in a bad mood now, let me accompany me more, but every time I go back, the fourth sister is losing her temper, which makes me afraid to go to her yard." ”
This sounded like just an ordinary complaint, but Kang Mingwei heard that it was the Wang family who asked Kang Xinxin to go, and thought that she was also supported by her mother with a purpose, and her face was obviously much better, so she walked to the stone table in the courtyard and pointed to the stone bench to signal Kang Xinxin to sit down and talk.
Waiting for Kang Xinxin to sit down, Kang Mingwei noticed the two satins on the stone table, and at a glance, she knew that they were Shuyizhai's, very expensive and gorgeous, Kang Mingwei couldn't take her eyes off for a while: "This is ......"
"This is for the third sister." Kang Xinxin blinked.
Kang Mingwei's eyes still fell on the two bixia cloud pattern brocades, and she couldn't believe it for a while: "When are you willing to give me such a good thing?" ”
Shuyi Zhai's satin is naturally good, but the price of good goods is high, and not everyone can afford it, although Kang Lu once served as Zuo Langzhong in the Ministry of Rites, and his family is quite generous, but in the end he has also resigned for many years, and now his family is not as good as before, and outsiders still look glamorous, but the people inside know that these money are all subsidies from Mrs. Kang's mother's family.
The subsidy of the mother's family of the big house is naturally the money of the big house, and no matter how virtuous and generous the original partner is, he will not use the money of the mother's family to raise other women for her husband.
Like Shuyizhai's satin, Kang Mingwei can't afford it, but she can't buy it if she wants to, so she still has to pick and choose one or two of the most satisfactory horses, and the money on hand is limited.
She is still like this, Kang Xinxin is two satins as soon as she shoots today, which really surprised her.
"The third sister's days in the house are numbered, no matter how stingy I am, I have to squeeze some silver out of my teeth to send some good things, even if it is my sister's congratulatory gift."
Kang Mingwei was stretching out her hand to rub it on the satin, and after Kang Xinxin finished speaking, she reacted for a while, and suddenly looked up and asked, "What days are running out?" What congratulatory gift? ”
Kang Xinxin blinked her eyes twice and made a tacit expression: "Good sister, now that you have such a happy event, you still plan to hide it from me?" ”
Kang Mingwei was still confused, Kang Xinxin saw that Kang Mingwei was not pretending, and was about to ask, when she saw that there was a maid standing behind Kang Mingwei, but it was not an orange that Kang Mingwei had always trusted, so she groaned for a while, and said to the raw maid: "I haven't even drunk a sip of tea after sitting for so long, go make me a cup of tea." ”
The people in the courtyard of the second room are not so sloppy, besides, Kang Xinxin has always been quite friendly with Kang Mingwei, and the tea is naturally prepared, and it is placed on the stone table in front of the two of them, but Kang Xinxin said this, no matter how stupid Kang Mingwei is, she understands what she means.
And the maid was obviously very afraid of Kang Mingwei, so she hurriedly looked at Kang Mingwei's face, and saw that her master nodded and agreed, and the maid was about to retreat. Kang Xinxin remembered that she also had a Xin'er with her, although she could trust her, but in front of Kang Mingwei, it was not good for her to keep one person, so she asked Xin'er to follow the maid to help.
After the two maids retreated, Kang Mingwei hurriedly asked, "What do you mean by what you just said?" ”
Kang Xinxin also lowered her voice: "Third sister, don't you really know?" Father plans to send you to the palace as the emperor's concubine, and you will be promoted in the future, but you are the mother, isn't this a happy event? ”
Because she really didn't know this shocking news, the look on Kang Mingwei's face changed slightly, and she suddenly remembered what her mother Zhao said, but her mother obviously said that she was just entering the palace to see each other, and she didn't say that she had decided to marry into the palace? Kang Mingwei thought about it, and the fox asked Kang Xinxin: "I don't even know about this, how do you know?" ”
Hearing this, Kang Xinxin lowered her voice a little more: "Yesterday morning, I went to greet my father, because I was late for a while, you all dispersed, the little girl said that my father was in the study, I thought about it and went, but the door of the study was closed tightly, I didn't know if there was anyone, so I listened to it first, but I clearly heard my father say that he wanted to send you into the palace." ”
Seeing that Kang Mingwei still had doubts on her face, Kang Xinxin said again: "It's true!" That's what my father said..."Saying that, Kang Xinxin vividly imitated Kang Lu: "With Lei'er's current reputation, I'm afraid that I won't be able to enter the palace, I think Mingwei is outstanding, and Heyan also has this meaning, so it is more appropriate to let Mingwei replace Lei'er." ”
