Boxing in 249
After the quarrel, because Zhu Pei fell into contemplation and at the same time he felt that some of the princess's words were right, in fact, he was also a person who was good at admonishing, and gradually, he did not wander in the backyard.
And Wang Jingshu was even more busy with her feet on the ground, and the two didn't have much conversation. And it seems to be because they are busy, but the real reason seems to be their own evasion.
In a blink of an eye, it was the fifteenth day of the lunar month, only half a month before the New Year, Wang Jingshu had almost arranged everything, and she directly explained some things to the two Liangdi to do, and she only did the final check.
During this period, I came to Princess Xianchang once, and after hearing the news that Guo Fengyi was pregnant, she stopped mentioning the matter of the heir and left soon. It seems that this matter has ended, but Wang Jingshu feels that this matter has not passed so quickly, and thinks that she will definitely not give up so easily.
Sure enough, two days later, on the eighteenth day of the lunar month, in the name of the official, he issued a post to invite King Ning to enjoy the song and dance, in the end, it was about to celebrate the New Year, and the whole Pingzhou was about to welcome the New Year, and the concubine's illness gradually improved, so Zhu Pei was in a good mood, so he agreed to enjoy the song and dance.
When I went, I also brought Zhao Zhaoxun with me, and the reason why I took her was because she was a little jade and quite good at singing and dancing, and she could drink a lot of wine, in fact, to put it bluntly, she asked her to block the wine for him.
When this matter was reported to the main courtyard, Wang Jingshu was listening to the steward from Kyoto to report the Wang family's New Year's gift, and the Wang family sent her a New Year's gift and brought a message.
"The princess, a happy event in the family, the eldest young lady gave birth to a girl, the eldest son is very happy, the lord reported the small life to you this time, and said that please give you a name, so that the little one can be brought back, and the girl will be on the family tree when she is one year old."
Wang Jingshu was very happy to hear it, this is her real junior, and now she is also an aunt, but I don't know when I can see my little niece, but it is worth rejoicing when I hear it. Now the Wang family has been extended for another generation. It's just that the name, she hasn't thought about it yet, "The name is a big deal, it's not good for me to decide." Why aren't Daddy and Big Brother famous? ”
"The lord said that you are the princess, according to the monarch and minister, it should be you, and it can be regarded as accumulating blessings and virtues for the child. The eldest prince also said that you named it, and asked the girl to learn from your Shuxian. ”
Wang Jingshu no longer shirked, "In this case, I think a few names will be written and then handed over to you to take back to Kyoto." This year, you will stay in the palace, and when the spring begins, you will go on the road to send a few cars of gifts I have prepared to Wang's mansion. ”
Wangfu is her mother's family, originally it was supposed that she gave her mother's family a New Year's gift, but now she is married to the royal family, she has become Princess Ning, the monarch and the minister are different, the Wang Mansion gave her a New Year's gift, and she can only return the New Year's gift in the form of a reward, of course, it is a few points thicker than the New Year's gift received.
The little girl did not shirk and directly accepted the palace for the New Year, "Yes, the princess's hospitality is a small glory." Immediately, he said it again, "The second girl in the mansion has entered the imperial city as the concubine of the sixth prince, and the little one with a message saying that she is doing well, please rest assured." ”
It is inevitable that Jing Miao will become the side concubine of the six princes. Wang Jingshu was not surprised, but was worried that Concubine Rong would not get along with the queen and implicate Jingmiao. Now that I hear him say it's not bad, I don't know how much of it is true or how much is false. "Okay, I got it."
"The Tang girl has married to the Qin family, she is in harmony with the Qin family and gets along well with the Qin family, the Tang girl is still often recruited by the princess into the imperial city to reminisce, so she can often see the second girl, the sixth princess does not dare to be too embarrassed by the second girl, the eldest prince said please rest assured."
These words were written down day and night, and now it is not very troublesome to memorize them according to the script. Originally, all this was just a letter, but since the royal family did not allow correspondence, it had to be changed to a message.
Wang Jingshu smiled one by one and agreed, everyone was having a good life, and she was a little relieved. She also knew just now that the Wang family asked the little maid to bring a message, there was originally this kind of thing, and it seemed that the rule of not being able to communicate was not very useful, after all, there are always more ways than difficulties.
"When the little one came, many matchmakers came to the door and said that they wanted to be matchmakers for the three girls, but now they can't do it, and the little ones don't know. The fourth girl told you that she missed you very much and asked you when you would return to Kyoto. ”
"The eldest prince said, don't prepare money for the New Year's ceremony, or keep it for yourself. As for most of the New Year's gifts sent by Wangfu, please be sure to accept them. ”
"The marriage between the third prince and Miss Zhou has officially set a date, which is February 16 next year. If you have anything to say, just order the small one to take it back. The eldest prince also said that he didn't dare to forget what you explained before. ”
"Madame and the young lady said, this year's festival and the copy of the concubine to the prince, they are all written one by one, and you can watch and deal with the rest yourself."
……
These bits and pieces Wang Jingshu listened to very heartwarming, and her family still cared about her. Prepare everything carefully for her one by one, and explain everything that should be explained. Wang Jingshu looked at the list of New Year's Rites and asked, "What's the matter, there is another courtyard for the New Year's Ceremony?" It's just a New Year's ceremony, so why bother. ”
Where is this annex?
This list only states the title deed of the annex. What is this called, you don't need to send a New Year's gift to empty the Wang family, right?
But I heard the little guy say, "The little one was also there at that time." Originally, the lady and the young lady had already prepared the New Year's ceremony, but the old man said that it was not enough, so this annex was added. This courtyard is in Pingzhou, and the lord said at the time that the road is far away anyway, and the Wang family will not go to live, so he will give it to Princess Ning, and there is no courtyard in her dowry. So the lady added this house to the New Year's ceremony, and added the title deed. ”
Annex......
Is her father afraid that she will be angry with the prince and leave the palace and have nowhere else to go? simply gave a separate courtyard. If she is angry with the prince, she will go to live in another courtyard?
How can there be such a New Year's gift? It's like giving a dowry.
Wang Jingshu has only heard of silk and satin brocade clothes, gorgeous clothes, beads, hairpins, cuihuan, antique calligraphy and paintings, etc., as a New Year's gift, like the farewell courtyard, I really haven't heard of it.
"That's too much, let's send it back."
"The princess still accepted it, and I heard the maid in the family say that there is a separate courtyard in the dowry of the second girl. Presumably the old man ......."
Wang Jingshu said: "Got it." She immediately interrupted him, and she could guess what the words were next. But what other message to preach? ”
"No, that's all."
After a while, Wang Jingshu explained that Youxiao took him down to settle down, and then settled in the palace to live with the guards, you must know that the guards are all the prince's people, and the little maid of the Wang family is placed under the nose of the prince for a few days, which should be able to exchange for a lot of clean ears. As for the other escort people, they all told them to go to the inn and settle down.
Xiao agreed again, and politely led the Wang family to settle down.
Wang Jingshu handed over the New Year's gift list to Cai Yu, "You take a few trustworthy maids to count them according to the list, and send the separation of the prince and the side concubine to their respective courtyards, and the rest are registered in the warehouse, and then I want to think about who to send." When the New Year is over, I will also write a gift list and prepare a gift for them to escort back to Kyoto. ”
Cai Yu said yes one by one, but he didn't understand, "I should give it to the prince, but the side concubine is there, how can the lady and the young lady also prepare a gift?" What the hell is she a side concubine doing like this? ”
Wang Jingshu was clear, "It's not that I am raising the side concubine, but I am afraid that the side concubine will rely on the favor of the prince to bully me." It is said that people are short-handed...... You see, didn't that little guy say that I should handle the rest by myself, in fact, I have already prepared gifts for those concubines, but I just gave them to the side concubines. "I want her to be a dignified princess, and even this point has to be thought through by my mother's family, and I feel shameless," It's just that they are not from the palace, and I don't know if those women will not spare me for the sake of a few things. may also complain that the gift is not rich enough, and it is not as good as the side concubine. Surely Kang was the first one who couldn't see those rites. ”
"Do you want to send it again?"
"Send! Send some, at least to calm some people's war of words. ”
Some etiquette is necessary, even if it is fake. It is just a matter of ruining the wealth and avoiding disaster. Wang Jingshu suddenly remembered something, "Just now you said that the prince took the Zhao family to the banquet?" ”
"Yes, if you want me to say that you are the princess, the prince has never taken you out with him once."
Wang Jingshu didn't bother to go to the banquet with staggered and smiling words, "What's this, as long as I have the emperor's holy will to seal Princess Ning one day, those foreign wives of the officials' families still don't want to recognize where the door of the main courtyard of King Ning's mansion opens...... Even if they rushed to tie up those women, they would never dare to ignore Princess Ning, and the Wang family was the head of the palace. ”
"It has always been the only foreign woman who came to visit my princess Ning."
There is some truth in this, but Cai Yu mentioned, "Many times you have pushed down the banquet held by the foreign wife. ”
It's not that Wang Jingshu doesn't want to participate in the banquet, but it will make her have more headaches, "This year is the first year in Pingzhou, and many things have to be thought about, and the affairs of the palace are enough to exhaust me. Therefore, the banquet had to be postponed invariably, and it was not easy to deal with the relationship between those foreign women, so it was necessary to spend time carefully studying this aspect. Many of the foreign wives of the officials' families are also big families, and there are even those who marry each other, so if you want not to offend anyone, you have to find out all the grievances. ”
She is the eldest daughter of the Wang family, so she has been taught by the standard ladies since she was a child. According to the statement at the time, with the Wang family's family, she is not married to the royal family is also the life of the housewife, since she is the housewife, she should be familiar with the world's affairs, you must know that the woman's pillow wind is very powerful, and it is a science, there was a special female master to teach her carefully, point out the stakes, but at that time she was sure that she would definitely not marry the royal family, so she only thought about how to perfunctory past boring schoolwork. Never thought there would be today...... The so-called book is hated less when it is used.
"If you have time next year, you should attend their banquets once in a while, but not too much. Too much thought that the Ning Wangfu was a stammer, and the palace should also hold a few banquets, and it was necessary to have appropriate exchanges, so that they could feel the friendliness of our royal family. ”
Since the princess is confident, it is useless to say anything else. Cai Yu said yes, "Then the maid will arrange it." ”
"It will definitely be too late for the prince to come back, maybe I will sleep by then. Pay more attention to your night watch, and if you go home, report to me, and call me at night. "That's how I can rest assured.
"Yes."
It's just that Wang Jingshu underestimated Princess Hexian's ability in the end, and when she woke up the next day, she realized that the prince had not returned overnight, but Zhao Zhaoxun came back at the end of the banquet.
She was always a little uneasy in her heart, "Go and pass on Zhao Zhaoxun." ”
When Zhao Wannian woke up early in the morning, she heard the maid talk about the fact that the prince did not return overnight, could it be ......
She also had a lot of doubts in her heart.
At the time of the double blessing of the main courtyard, Zhao Wannian went to the main courtyard in three steps and two steps, and faced the princess's inquiry, "The prince didn't return overnight?" What the hell is going on? The prince took you there, didn't take you back? You came back on your own? ”
"Originally, at the end of the banquet, the prince and the concubine got into the carriage together, but later Cao Yibin still kept the invitation, and the prince got off the carriage and promised to continue to eat and drink with Cao Yibin, and let the concubine come back by herself."
Cao Yibin......
To tell the truth, Wang Jingshu doesn't know. There are too many county lords of the royal family, and there are naturally many honor guests, how can she know everyone. "Who is Cao Yibin......
"The husband of the lord of Lemin."
But who is Lord Lemin...... Wang Jingshu is still confused, she still doesn't know her. To say this is to say nothing.
Zhao Wannian was very uneasy in her heart, she didn't want another woman in the palace, "Princess... Will this prince ......" The princess didn't know, but she knew very well that there were indeed a few very beautiful girls at the banquet who served the prince with a cup of wine and cloth dishes, and they were very attentive around him, obviously seducing the prince, and the prince's eyes were straight.
Wang Jingshu glanced at her, and the two looked at each other.
Alarmed... Doubt...... Helpless... Sadness......
A variety of flavors.
Only at this moment, the two of them feel the same.
In the end, I didn't dare to think about it.
