On the first day of the first lunar month, King Ning and the princess, who are juniors, have to walk around and pay New Year's greetings everywhere.

The New Year's greetings of these two couples went very smoothly, with their status and status, and it was the New Year, basically no one was embarrassed, and even received a lot of New Year's greetings.

Until the afternoon, Zhu Pei had to go to Wang's Mansion at this time, and it was the tradition of his daughter who got married tomorrow to return to her parents' house. Wang Jingshu said that she couldn't help him, so she finally went with him.

As she expected, the Wang Mansion on the first day of the first lunar month was very busy, paying New Year's greetings in the morning and worshipping ancestors in the afternoon, which is the tradition of the Wang Mansion.

The whole Wang Mansion didn't know that this married eldest girl would go back to her parents' house to visit at this time, they all thought it would be tomorrow, so they didn't even know that Wang Lingyi, who had been back in the Wang Mansion for a short time, it was really sudden......

In addition, the princess took King Ning, and it was rare for these two husbands and wives to be together, which really made the Wang Mansion even busier, and it was both entertaining and worshipping ancestors, which was really busy. Wang Da not only had to take care of the matter of worshipping his ancestors, but also personally entertained King Ning, the son-in-law who rarely entered Wang's mansion.

Wang Jingshu was pulled aside by Mrs. Han, she was puzzled, why did she come here at this time? "Hey, the eldest girl knows, on the afternoon of the first day of the first lunar month, Wangfu wants to worship the ancestors, and the time of the ancestor worship has always been staggered with the royal family. What's the matter, is this time coming? ”

Seeing that the time to worship ancestors was approaching, Han Shi saw that King Ning was still talking to her master, and she was not in a hurry, "King Ning is here, we must be inconsiderate." You go and give King Ning a voice, you can go back early. ”

The folk are no better than the royal family, and the married daughter is not qualified to worship the ancestors, and she is only a guest in her mother's house, so the ancestor worship in the afternoon has nothing to do with Wang Jingshu.

Wang Jingshu didn't want to come over this afternoon, but if the prince wanted to come over at this time, what could she do? But it was less than half an hour after she came, and the fact that she was urged to go back by her mother finally made her face unbearable, and she was angry in her heart, and her voice stiffened a little, "I wanted to be tomorrow, but the prince wants this afternoon." Mother, you go and call your father, discuss with him about worshipping your ancestors, and I will sit down with King Ning and go back. ”

Do you have to make it clear that she is already a guest in the Wang family?

In the royal family, it is an outsider, and the ancestors of the previous dynasties can only be the emperor and queen, and they are guests in their mother's house, and they are not qualified to worship their ancestors.

It's really sad to think about it.

As soon as Han heard it, he knew that she was uncomfortable, and she had felt like a woman, but it was like this, and it was good to get used to it in the years to come. I had the heart to persuade him, but I thought about it again, and I had no choice but to go to the flower hall to invite the master. And her performance was seen by Wang Jingshu, and she felt a little more sad in her heart, she had a bad time in the palace, and she had to suffer this kind of dislike when she returned to Wang's mansion...... Looking at the lively Wang Mansion, she felt a deep sense of loss in her heart.

Su Zhimei pulled her sleeve, she is the most idle person now, and she doesn't have to help with anything when she is pregnant, so she has time to entertain Wang Jingshu, "Sister, don't think about it, it's really busy today, that's why my mother said so." Or, you sit for a while and wait until you're done......"

Even if Wang Jingshu had too much disappointment, she didn't want to show it on her face, "When the ancestor worship is done, it should be dark, so there is no need." I'll sit with the prince for a while and I'll be back. ”

"That ......"

"When spring begins, I will follow King Ning to the fiefdom." I probably won't have much chance to go back in the future.

At this moment, Wang Jingshu had the urge to never want to go back to Wang's mansion again.

Su Zhimei sighed lightly, destined to be separated, "Then, what about your dowry?" Would you like to send it back first, and we'll keep it for you? ”

Wang Jingshu was unwilling, "I want to stay in Pingzhou as a princess for the rest of my life, except for the occasional will to return to the imperial city, I may not be able to return to the suburbs of Kyoto until I die." This dowry is not good to keep in Wang's mansion all the time. ”

Her dowry has its place.

On the other side of the flower hall, King Ning was the only one drinking tea, and Wang Jingshu turned her head to see the back of her father being invited.

——Pingzhou is a long way away, and I don't know when we will meet in this parting.

- Father and daughter just say goodbye like this.

Su Zhimei didn't know what to say for a while, and she was relieved, "How can I not have a chance to go back to Kyoto, I'm afraid that in a few months, I will be able to come back." ”

There is no chance, who knows. Maybe it's not going to be for a lifetime. Wang Jingshu didn't want to continue the topic, got up, and glanced at Su Zhimei, "Sister-in-law, take care of your body, if you can wait for your son and daughter, you have to ask my brother to send me a letter, and you have to make me happy." ”

As soon as the words fell, he walked towards the flower hall.

As soon as she met Zhu Pei, she mentioned, "Don't talk too much, it's too busy here, Lord Wang, why don't we go back." ”

Zhu Pei put down the teacup, "This is really rare, it is rare for this king to accompany you once, so soon, you will return?" The king thought it was going to be dark. ”

Wang Jingshu lowered her head and patiently whispered to explain, "It's too busy here, and we are going to worship our ancestors later, so we don't want to bother here." ”

When she said the word "bother", Zhu Pei was really shocked, she has always called herself the daughter of the Wang family, and she always talked about the Wang family, even if she occasionally had the opportunity to leave the palace, she ran to the Wang family for the first time, how could she compare herself to a guest? The rhetoric is a little cold. "Are you sure? Once I leave today, I won't have a chance to come back until I go to the fiefdom. ”

"Nature."

Wang Jingshu is sure.

That's just right, just as he wills. Zhu Peiyuan didn't want to accompany him, he didn't want to see Wang Da's old slippery face, "Nacheng, let's go back." It's really hectic here. ”

got up and pulled Wang Jingshu to leave, as if he was pretending, and as soon as he got out of Wang's mansion, he let go of his hand.

Their carriage was waiting at the gate of Wang's mansion.

Zhu Pei asked Wang Jingshu to get into the carriage first, "You get in the carriage first." ”

The phrase was muffled by another abrupt remark.

"Wait, wait, wait...... Sister, brother-in-law, you wait. ”

Who?

Wang Jingshu turned her head to see that it was Wang Jingmiao, but in the winter, she was sweating profusely, "Jingmiao, why did you come out?" But what's the matter? ”

Wang Jingmiao wrapped her arm, "Brother-in-law, you lend my sister some time to me." ”

Brother-in-law......

Zhu Pei obviously couldn't get used to hearing it, except for the young sister-in-law of the Chen family, no one dared to call him like this, but he seemed to have forgotten, he loved the side concubine, often took the side concubine back to the Chen Mansion, and had a good relationship with the side concubine brothers and sisters, and it was understandable for people to dare to shout at their brother-in-law. But he rarely came to the official father-in-law's Wang Mansion, so because of his identity, no one dared to call him as a princess.

In fact, Wang Jingmiao's sister-in-law is the most orthodox sister-in-law, and his princess only has such a sister-in-law. No matter how favored the side concubine is, she is only a concubine, according to the rules, the sister of a concubine is not qualified to be called a sister-in-law.

Zhu Pei waved his hand helplessly and agreed, he somewhat guessed what their sisters were going to say. Wang Jingmiao immediately pulled Wang Jingshu to the other side to speak, took off the fulcrum cui hairpin inserted in Wang Jingshu's hair bun, and then inserted another fulcrum cui hairpin, "Sister's old one, sister's new one, give it to my sister, I don't know if I can see you again on the long way to Pingzhou, just take it as a thought, these years, my sister has nothing good to give to my sister, this hairpin is made by myself." ”

Wang Jingshu didn't know what it meant, smiled and accepted the hairpin, took a gold-inlaid jade bracelet from her wrist, and put it in her hand, the size was just right, "This gold-inlaid jade bracelet was originally A-Niang's dowry, one was given to you, one was given to me, and now I also gave it to you. She thought about it, and only the gold-inlaid jade bracelet on her wrist was still meaningful.

"Sister, take care."

Wang Jingshu didn't want to be sad, and finally her eyes were red, "It's good, it's a big New Year, what kind of parting words do you say, maybe we will meet soon." If you have anything you want me to bring to my sixth brother, tell me, and I will send you a message. ”

What her sister-in-law is thinking, how could Wang Jingshu not be able to guess, even if she is really reluctant to part, but this is only half of it. The other half must be for men. Just like Wang Lingyi was summoned into the palace, Wang Jingmiao also asked her to pass the word to the six princes in the palace. She Wang Jingmiao is such a person, and there is no one she dare not take advantage of.

And she Wang Jingshu never understood why a person's feelings would make people like this? Originally, Wang Jingmiao was never like this, she could be very cheerful and lively, she could also be very dignified and decent, and she had the demeanor of a concubine, maybe because of this, she would be liked by the six princes.

But for her, whether she likes it or loves it, she doesn't understand it, and she has never had this kind of feeling.

"That, call him, marry the concubine with peace of mind, I will wait for him."

Wang Jingshu promised to pass the word, "Okay." Turning his head to look at the carriage, Zhu Pei had already sat inside, "I will stay soon, you should go back quickly, and it is time to worship the ancestors." ”

The two sisters are separated.

Wang Jingshu got into the carriage, and Wang Jingmiao stood at the door and waved them away.

In the carriage, Wang Jingshu and Zhu Pei sat on both sides, one lowered his head, the other only cared about playing with the jade wrench, no one cared about anyone, one was in a bad mood, and the other was because he didn't want to say that he didn't care.

But in the face of this cold atmosphere, I couldn't help but say, "You seem to be in a bad mood?" ”

Wang Jingshu crossed her hands and puffed out her mouth, "Knowingly ask!" ”

Zhu Pei was confused, "What does this king know?" Aren't you the one who wants to go back to the Imperial City so early? ”

Wang Jingshu pursed her lips, "Haven't you already seen it, it means that you know." He added, "Didn't you ask me why I'm in a bad mood?" ”

Zhu Pei stomped his feet angrily, and then the carriage trembled, "It's a pity that you don't be a staff member, you can talk like this." ”

Wang Jingshu opened her mouth and wanted to speak, but after thinking about it, she simply closed her mouth, she had already thought about it during the Chinese New Year's Eve palace banquet last night, and she would not quarrel with him in the future, lest he want to sue again.

Zhu Pei saw that she didn't reply, but he felt bored and shut up.

The carriage drove all the way, and the curtain was blown up by the cold wind, through the curtain, Wang Jingshu couldn't help but peek out, and it happened that there was a couple walking by arm-in-arm on the side of the road. ”

For a long time, no one answered her, a question that seemed ridiculous and ridiculous, and countless people pursued it all their lives to find the answer.
