The undercurrent of the royal capital 011, distant relatives came to the door
After lunch, Zhiying was a female celebrity at home, and by the way, he took care of his flower female cat for Bailizan.
When the flower mother cat first came, she was thin and small, and she has recently eaten in a bowl with Bailizan, but she has gained a lot of weight, and she is like a ball of thread at her feet, lazily basking in the sun.
Zhiying named it a little peach crisp, because the yellow hair on its back accounted for most of it, and a small pinch of black hair was pulled out in the middle, just like carrying a piece of peach cake sprinkled with black sesame seeds.
Xiao Taoshu's relatives, except for Cui Yi, everyone has to lean over and rub twice, especially like to follow Zhiying, there is an inexplicable intimacy for her, Zhiying also likes Xiao Taoshu, doing needlework for a while, just hold it on his lap and tease it for a while, and the afternoon has passed.
Today is no exception, the subordinates of the Cheng Mansion came to report that the prince had gone to the mansion as a guest, and Zhiying ate alone, and came out with a sewing basket to make a female celebrity.
The warm sun of mid-spring made her drowsy, Zhiying couldn't help but stretch, and was about to get up and move, when the housekeeper appeared outside the courtyard gate.
"Madam, there are two people outside who claim to be relatives of the prince's mother's family and ask to see me." The butler arched his hand and said.
Zhiying was taken aback: "Relatives of my mother's family? Male or female? Have you asked them what their last name is? β
The housekeeper replied honestly: "I asked, a man and a woman, the man's name is Xie Yong, and the woman's sister is his sister, named Xie Yuchan." β
The late Empress Xiaolian's surname is Zhong, Concubine Duan is the daughter of her sister-in-law, surnamed Ye, where did this surname Xie come from? Zhiying was really puzzled, and said that he really didn't know much about Cui Yi's mother's side, and everyone came to the door at this time, but he couldn't tell if it was true.
"I'll go out and have a look."
Zhiying raised her leg to leave, but Xiao Taoshu screamed, jumped up and hugged her leg, Zhiying had no choice but to pick it up, and went out together to see the Xie Yong brothers and sisters who claimed to be relatives of Cui Yiniang's uncle.
Wuwang's Mansion is the courtyard of Liujin, and when Zhiying walked to the atrium, he heard a woman with a loud voice shouting from afar-
"Hey, what's the matter with you, why can't you get out for so long, just let us stand here, you don't know how to be hospitable, right? Wait for Brother Yingrong to come back and see how he cleans you up! β
The timbre is not so much a woman, but a girl, Zhiying feels that this Xie Yuchan is as big as herself, maybe smaller, but this courage is amazingly big, and she dares to match Cui Yi with words!
Thinking about it, Zhiying quickened his pace more and more and came to the door.
The three porters greeted a man and a woman outside the door with a bitter face, and looked at the past, although the girl who shouted loudly was thin, her momentum was very fierce, with her hands on her waist, and she taught the subordinates of the Wuwang Mansion unscrupulously: "You dare to stop us from entering?" My brother and I have traveled thousands of miles from Xuanzhou to join Brother Yingrong, if we let him know that you are disrespectful to us, hum, you will definitely not be able to eat and walk around! β
"Why should this girl be angry?" Zhiying stepped forward with a smile and persuaded, "The prince is not in the mansion, so the people below naturally have to be more cautious, and it's not their fault, right?" β
Xie Yuchan glared at her and looked at her: "It's not their fault, is it our fault?" My brother and I have been standing here for most of the day, and we don't even have to drink saliva, and we have to be beaten up by you, saying that it is our fault? β
Zhiying is a little helpless, this young lady has a big temper, I really don't know how the family disciplines her.
But as long as there is a 1/10,000 chance of being a relative of Cui Yi's mother's family, he can't be rude, so Zhiying still kept smiling and bowed: "Invite the girl and Brother Ling to come in and talk, it's not good to be noisy at the gate, so that people can hear it." β
Xie Yuchan snorted and walked in the door with a high spirit, her eyes still rolling on her: "Just now the housekeeper said to report to the master, it won't be you, right?" Are you the princess of Brother Yingrong? β
"No, I'm ......" "I don't look like you."
Xie Yuchan looked her up and down contemptuously, and said: "I think you are just a maid holding a cat at best, Brother Yingrong's mother is the queen, and if you want to marry, you will definitely marry a gentle and beautiful lady, just like me." β
The corners of Zhiying's mouth twitched slightly, and she didn't know what to say, but the housekeeper said angrily: "You open your eyes and see clearly, this is our wife!" β
Xie Yuchan was not only frightened, but her eyes were even more disdainful: "It turned out to be a concubine, hum, it is no different from the maid holding the cat, if you think that you can be the mistress of this Wuwang Mansion if you go to Brother Yingrong's bed, I think you are making a mistake in wishful thinking." β
The butler was furious: "What do you say! Several porters were also angry, and they rolled up their sleeves one after another, rubbing their fists, to fork out the girl in front of them.
"There's something to say, there's something to say!" The young man who had been silent on the side saw that the momentum was not right, and hurriedly stood up to calm the incident, "Yuchan is young, she doesn't cover her mouth, sister-in-law, don't be surprised!" β
"Brother!" Xie Yuchan stomped her foot angrily, "Why are you nodding to a group of subordinates!" β
Xie Yong glared at her: "What kind of subordinate, call sister-in-law!" "But it can be seen that the elder brother is just a strong outsider, and the momentum of teaching his sister is just pretending.
Where would Xie Yuchan be afraid of him, her already sharp voice became louder and louder: "Sister-in-law? Phew! A maid with a cat deserves to be called my sister-in-law? β
"What kind of maid holding a cat?"
At this moment when the dispute was over, the sound of horses' hooves stopped outside the gate of Wuwang's Mansion, and Cui Yi rode on the back of the golden crow, frowning unhappily at the group of people crowded at the door.
Zhiying breathed a sigh of relief - the person who had done the master could be regarded as coming back, and hurriedly walked towards him: "The prince is back, and there are two people in the house who claim to be relatives of the prince's mother's family, and the concubine doesn't know if it's ......."
"Brother Yingrong!" Before she finished speaking, she was vigorously pushed aside, and the little peach cake in her arms was almost thrown out.
Xie Yuchan's eyes lit up with excitement, and she rushed to Cui Yi with her hands covering her heart, with an expression that was about to faint: "Brother Yingrong, I have long wanted to come to see you!" My cousin must have told you about me a lot, right? β
Cui Yi quickly supported Zhiying, and swept over with a cold look: "Who are you?" β
Xie Yuchan didn't flinch at all because of his disgusted expression, but got closer: "I'm Yuchan, you should have heard my cousin mention me!" Brother Yingrongβ"
"Presumptuous!" Cui Yi instantly blocked the person back with a wave of his arm like a lit explosive bag, "Who allows you to call this king by his name?" β
Xie Yuchan was finally frightened, with a pair of big eyes, clutching her chest and looking at him in disbelief: "Brother Yingrong......"
Cui Yi saw that he was about to make a move, Xie Yong hurriedly rushed out of the door and knelt down: "The prince is angry, Yuchan is young and ignorant, she didn't mean to offend the prince, please forgive the prince!" Then he tugged his sister's sleeve, "Don't kneel down yet!" Yuchan! β
Xie Yuchan's eyes were full of tears, and she refused to kneel down even if she was dead or alive, Cui Yi said expressionlessly: "Someone is coming." β
"Don't be impulsive," Zhiying hurriedly stopped his urge to fork people out, "Since Gongzi Xie claims to be from the prince's mother's uncle's family, he must ask him clearly first, right?" If it's not a relative, it's not good, if it's really a relative, it's not good to hurt the harmony. Cui Yi's face turned pale, but he didn't insist, so Zhiying turned his head and said to Xie Yong gently: "Gongzi Xie, please get up, come into the house and sit down." β
Xie Yong wiped his sweat, got up softly, took his sister's hand, and dragged behind Cui Yi, who didn't even look at them, and entered the gate.
There were very few guests in the Wuwang Mansion, and Cui Yi sat in the Taishi chair in the hall, supporting himself with one hand, and his eagle-like eyes swept over the Xie family brothers and sisters.
"Cao Min Xie Yong, this is the sister of the grass people, her name is Yuchan, her father Xie Xiao is the pastor of Xuanzhou Prefecture, and her mother is the sister of Duan Concubine Niang, "Although the master looked at the seat, Xie Yong dared to sit down, stood under the hall and bowed respectfully, and introduced himself, "My father heard that the prince became a relative a few days ago, and specially bet on 50 horses of Xuanzhou's specialty Yunjin, ten jars of special qu old cellar wine, two boxes of dried prawns, and two boxes of pearls, as a congratulatory gift, and I hope that the prince will smile. β
It turned out to be Concubine Duan's nephew, Zhiying framed this complicated family relationship map in her heart, thinking that Concubine Duan was the cousin of Queen Xiaopiao, and the mother of the Xie family brothers and sisters was the cousin's sister.
Cui Yi said coldly: "Where's the thing?" β
Xie Yong bowed down and replied: "Go back to the prince, stay at the post station for the time being, as long as the prince gives an order, the grass people can go to pass it at any time." β
Cui Yi said lightly: "Go ahead." β
Xie Yong: "......"
Cui Yi frowned: "What?" β
Xie Yong hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, the grass people will go!" "Hurry out of the hall.
Holding Ying is really crying and laughing, people who have never interacted with each other suddenly come to the door with gifts, there must be a request for you, this stunned prince is good, he doesn't even ask what the purpose of the family is, he knows that he asks someone to send things, this temper, it really has to be changed.
Xie Yong left, Xie Yuchan was still standing under the hall, her hands were twisting her sleeves, tears were rolling around in her eyes, not to mention how innocent her expression was. Zhiying looked at it for a while and felt unbearable, although Xie Yuchan said a lot of unpleasant things at the door just now, but since she was a relative of Cui Yi's maternal uncle and a guest, she should still greet her, so she said, "Miss Xie, sit down and rest." β
As soon as Xie Yuchan heard her speak, she immediately rolled her eyes and glared at her hatefully, and Cui Yi slapped the table suddenly: "What kind of eyes are you!" β
Xie Yuchan was yelled at by him, tears poured out, and she began to cry with a whimper, Zhiying suddenly had a head and two big, coaxed a few words Xie Yuchan didn't listen, so she had to turn her head and persuade Cui Yi: "Miss Xie is still young, don't be too fierce, don't scare her." β
Cui Yi sneered: "She spoke ill of you outside the door, and you would intercede for her." β
Zhiying smiled helplessly: "Then can I still deal with a junior?" β
Perhaps thinking that what she said was right, Cui Yi didn't yell anymore and chose to ignore it. But Xie Yuchan cried endlessly, and after a while, Cui Yi's patience was worn out, and she slapped the table angrily and stood up: "Have you cried enough!" β
