Chapter 196: Politeness
Xie Chiying said: "Originally, there was nothing to do on my own boat, just groggy and uncomfortable all day long. Now thanks to the blessing of the little county lord, my body is gradually getting better, and there are people to speak, which is really good. ”
Jinghu said to Mrs. Xie Si again: "Auntie, don't laugh at me, I just play all day long, no more literate than Sister Xie, I am a talented girl." ”
Mrs. Xie Si laughed, "There are no gentlemen or teachers on this boat, do you want to learn any rules?" Besides, at your age, it's time to play. ”
"My sister Ying is too quiet, not like a child at all, her sister is not so demure at her age. If the little county lord can bring her more lively, it will not be better. ”
This sister must be the one Ke Mingxu told her last night, who married into the Mingqing Mansion and became the princess.
When Mrs. Xie Si said this, Jinghu happened to pay attention to Xie Chiying, and felt that her expression was a little unnatural, but she didn't know why.
Jinghu was busy entertaining the fourth wife, "Then it's decided, when the time comes, don't be noisy with me." ”
Mrs. Xie Si smiled very kindly, looking at Jinghu as if she was looking at her own daughter, "No, no, you little girl's family just go to play by yourself, I don't care." ”
Xie Chiying asked Jinghu, "What does the little county lord usually do at home on weekdays?" ”
Jinghu took stock, "There are two situations. One is that when I was grounded by my father or mother for not doing anything wrong, in addition to attending classes at home, I went to the palace or went out. ”
"Princess Zhenning in the palace, Xu Qingrou, the eighth lady of the Dingguo Mansion, and Li Yi, the eldest lady of the Zhongwu Marquis Mansion, have the best relationship with me, and we are often naughty together."
"Sister Xie is in Yanjing, except for the eight ladies of the Zhao family, do you have any good friends?"
Xie Chiying shook her head, "It's better to be with her, or because I have an aunt from the Hengguo Mansion who took me to play in the past." On other days, I still accompany my aunt more in Master Ke's Mansion. ”
"I see." Jinghu just asked casually, and continued: "If I am grounded, then there is nothing to do, usually to be a female celebrity at home." My hands are clumsy, I can't write and draw, that is, I can still see what the female red does. ”
"This just complements our Sister Ying, Sister Ying is her grandfather Qimeng, calligraphy and Danqing are still so-so. It's this female red ...... It's really flattering. ”
Although Mrs. Xie Si seems to be belittling her daughter, she actually boasts more. As a parent, you are always proud of your children.
Jinghu smiled, "Then I'll have to ask my sister to guide me." ”
Xie Chiying also smiled gently, "I also want to ask the little county lord to guide me with needlework." ”
Having said that, there are some things that cannot be said. They all spoke so politely to each other, like when they were in Yanjing City, the mother concubine and people were hypocritically polite.
She didn't know Xie Chiying, she just met on the day of the Spring Banquet in Dingguo Mansion, if she was really an extremely quiet person as Mrs. Xie said, they might not be able to get along.
Jinghu gradually felt uncomfortable, so she didn't bother their mother and daughter to talk, and went back to catch Qingqing and come over to have dinner with her.
Sure enough, according to what Jinghu said, he made a West Lake vinegar fish, but the chef of Yanjing is always not as authentic as the chef in Jiangnan, and there is still a lot of distance from the land of Jiangnan, so I can only look forward to it.
was cut off by Mama Liu last night, and the maids' shifts were postponed by a day, and today is still the night.
She didn't use much for dinner, but it was better than not eating anything, so Jinghu pretended that she wasn't paying attention to her and finished the meal pretending to be deaf and dumb.
Mama Liu had been walking around the deck at night, but it seemed that nothing had happened, and Jinghu gradually tasted a little bit of the reason why she wanted to tell her story last night.
was afraid that she had already seen herself and Ke Mingxu talking on the deck, saving her face and not revealing it in person, so she came over to tell her a story and warned her that women should be more reserved and dignified, waiting for men to come and chase her.
She doesn't agree with her ideas, but she is an old man after all, and there are always some inherent concepts that are difficult to change, and after all, she is standing on the world's ideas and doing good for her from the heart.
Jinghu didn't go out to find Ke Mingxu and ask about his deer. After all, there were still a few days left before she arrived at the next port, so she just had to ask before that and write to tell Qingrou.
It will take more than half a year for her to go to Jiangnan this time, and I don't know if she and her deer can make any progress.
I don't know what Qingrou thinks, she always feels that she can't marry the person she admired when she was young, she marries the right family, the order of her parents, and gradually she will live like a blurred shadow in the inner house, and she will grow old helplessly day by day.
There is no sincerity, everything is polite, this is not the life she wants.
When it was time to rest, the candle flame was blown out, and Jinghu began to chat with Qingqing. They actually chat a lot, and Jinghu doesn't know why, she obviously doesn't have anything on her mind, but she often can't sleep.
Tonight she had something on her mind, and the person she was worried about slept on the couch not far from her bed.
"Cyanqing, haven't you been unhappy lately? That's why I don't want to eat well. Otherwise, let Dr. Zhu show you tomorrow, I always think you look too weak. ”
After a while, the blue voice sounded, "The slave is not uncomfortable, and there is no need to trouble Doctor Zhu." The slave knows that her recent state is not very good, and she will work hard to adjust, thank you for the little county lord's concern. ”
"Why are you being polite to me now? Then why are you unhappy, is there any conflict with Sister Liu Huang and them? She deliberately pretended she didn't know, and led the topic in a different direction.
Cyanqing is the most sensitive and vulnerable, maybe she doesn't want to feel embarrassed if she knows about it.
There was a bit of helplessness in her voice, and there was a hint of imperceptible impatience, "There is nothing unhappy about the slave maid, I feel good with my sisters." Born in Yanjing, there is a chance to see the scenery of Jiangnan again, which is a blessing that cannot be cultivated in several lifetimes. ”
Jinghu had the heart to talk to her again, and when the words came to her lips, she finally decided to give up. It's better to wait until the day when she wants to speak, or the day when she can find a way to contact Meng Heting.
"Then let's get some rest."
Qingqing didn't answer her again, and Jinghu seemed to hear her sigh in the quiet night.
