Chapter 271: The Concubine
Jing Huxin said that she was not a polite person, and she was even more surprised by what the princess said that she was "pure-hearted and loves to help her friends". I don't know who said it to her, or maybe it was just a kind word.
“…… When the little county lord and Sister Ying talked, I asked people to arrange your residence in the same courtyard, and if there was anything, I would send someone to find Mama Wu. She is my dowry, and she also watched Sister Ying grow up, so there is nothing inconvenient to say. ”
After she walked for a while, the princess talked about the arrangements for her, "That's right, I'm the one who is most afraid of boredom, I live with Sister Ying, and we have some company on weekdays." ”
He also said: "In order to be a female celebrity for you and her future nephew and niece these days, Sister Ying happens to be with me every day, which is really hard." ”
"Oh?" Xie Chixu glanced at Xie Chiying with a smile, "Now I can calm down and be a female celebrity, and I am really a beneficiary." "This look is not like looking at my sister, like looking at my own daughter.
Xie Chixu should be four or five years older than Xie Chiying.
Xie Chiying said: "The little county lord's female celebrity is doing well, and I am 'like-minded' with her, so naturally I should calm down and be a female celebrity." It's just that when the time comes, my sister won't think I'm doing well. ”
Xie Chixu just looked at her and smiled.
After sitting for a while, a maid from the palace came over to invite, "The main hall is already ready to set up a meal, and the old lady is already ready to get up, Mrs. Qian invites you and the little county lord, Lord Ke and Miss Eight to go over earlier." ”
Xie Chixu explained to them: "Every summer, the prince and the princess go to the suburbs of Zhuangzi to escape the heat, so they are not in the house. Although I am pregnant this year, there is nothing going on in the house, so it is still the same as in previous years. ”
"The county lord and my grandmother should have also met, and today's family banquet is also casual."
still take care of her. Jinghu smiled, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I don't recognize life." Last year in Yanjing, I also won ten taels of silver against the old lady at the poker table. ”
Hearing her say this, Xie Chi Su smiled softly, and turned around to talk to Xie Chi Ying again.
Ke Mingxu was actually walking beside Jinghu, and she couldn't help but whisper to him, "Little Ke, I'm going to see the old lady soon." ”
Ke Mingxu naturally knew what she meant, this was also a secret between them, he joked with her, "But don't stare at people directly, you have to be discovered." ”
Jinghu smiled, "Of course not, I'm not a child." ”
"It's good that I just know it in my heart, otherwise, I won't be able to eat and walk around. The teacher really lost his temper, but it was terrible. ”
Jinghu looked at him, "Then it depends on my mood, if Lord Xiao Ke offends me......"
"I didn't expect the little county lord to be such a person." He was talking to her, and his mood was obviously much better than when he talked about his mother with the princess.
Jinghu put his mind at ease, "It's inconvenient to talk here, when I'm free, I'll go to Master Xiao Ke to talk about it again." I already remember where the courtyard that the princess arranged for Lord Xiao Ke is. ”
He reminded her, "Before you come, you still have to send someone to come over and say that it is the outer courtyard of the palace, and it is not good to meet people after all." ”
Jinghu felt that since they were in the same boat, Ke Mingxu had become extraordinarily talkative. She smiled and nodded, and as she approached the main hall where the meal was set, she couldn't say anything more.
The old lady arrived a little earlier than them, and was smiling and talking to a grandmother beside her, looking very gentle and not embarrassed.
Jinghu was led by the princess to say hello to her.
She seemed to see Xie Chiying for the first time, smiled and talked to her for a while, and asked her what she liked to do at home. In the end, she was rewarded with a purse, which contained about jewelry.
She was also very enthusiastic about Jinghu, "Little county lord, I only met it in the palace of Yongning County last year, I don't know if you can still remember me." ”
Jinghu wanted to take a closer look at her appearance, so he brought out the intimacy of serving her grandmother at home and walked to the concubine's side.
"If you say you wiped the dominoes with my grandmother, I must remember you. You also gave me a pair of ruby earrings that day, and I loved it. ”
Of course, she didn't remember it, just this pair of ears, she called Liu Huang a few times, brainstormed, and finally remembered it.
At this age, the concubine still looks very delicate, with silver hair neatly curled at the back of her head, even though there are traces of lines on her cheeks that cannot be concealed, it does not make people feel unbeautiful, but has more elegance after years of accumulation.
She should be a Jiangnan person, since she and her grandmother are handkerchiefs, she should have also lived in Yanjing, the local accent is difficult to change, and there is always a little southern accent in the voice, which is delicate and unchangeable.
The concubine had a good impression of her, and when she heard her say this, she was naturally even more happy, the old man, always hoped that the younger generations could remember her and worry about her.
"How is your grandmother doing these days? It's almost a year coming. People who always played together when they were children are separated when they are older, and it is really difficult to see each other again. ”
It is said that Princess Qingwang and her grandmother should be about the same age, but her grandmother has been sick in the past few years, and she looks much older than the concubine, "When I came out of Yanjing, my grandmother's health was actually not very good. ”
"This trip down to the south of the Yangtze River is the meaning of my mother's concubine. She was also seriously ill, and she always missed her parents, so she had to ask me to come to Jiangnan to visit my grandfather and grandmother. ”
"But don't worry too much, I received a letter from home a few days ago saying that my grandmother is much better. I heard that I was coming to your place, and I was specially asked to say hello to you. You and my grandmother take care of our health, there will always be many times when we will see each other. ”
After hearing this, Princess Mingqing patted her hand with some emotion, "I always thought like this when I was young, I was still so young, what kind of person can't meet me." But I'm getting old all of a sudden, and I really don't know if there's a chance to meet again. ”
He added: "The last time I saw you in front of your grandmother, I thought you were born really well, and another year has passed, and it is even more Peugeot." ”
"I used to think that my granddaughter-in-law was already very good, I went to Yanjing once, met the two little ladies of the Xu family and the Zhao family, and saw you again, only to know that my eyes were too shallow."
She is talking about the so-called "Beijing Shuangshu", Zhao Wuniang and Huaiyi Xiangjun.
Xie Chixu smiled and said: "My granddaughter-in-law has known the five ladies of the Zhao family since she was a child, and last year in Yanjing, because the husband and the five ladies of the Xu family are good, they have traveled together for a while, it is difficult for her to be so good, and her temperament is so kind, and the granddaughter-in-law is really ashamed of herself." ”
