Chapter 1 Xie Ying returns to Beijing
"Drive!"
On the outskirts of Chang'an in spring, on a spring day when everything is recovering, the silence of the early morning is broken by the girl's crisp voice. The warbler that had just broken out of the shell on the branch chirped, and when the horse's hooves fell, the butterflies hidden in the grass also flew away in a hurry.
"Ying'er!"
"Phew!" The girl heard the sound and reined in the horse.
She was dressed in a bright red round-necked robe, with long hair tied up in a high bundle and only a red streamer. A small face is not powdered, it is good-looking, and there are a pair of bright eyes, and the appearance of riding a horse just now is even more high-spirited.
The girl shook her head and shook the streamer, and looked back with a smile: "Daddy! ”
She is the palm bead of the Northwest Hou, Xie Ying, the second lady of the Xie family.
And the Xie family is also famous in Chang'an City, and the northwest marquis Xie Yuan married his wife, Shang Shu, and shot Ye Shang's eldest daughter. The eldest son, Xie Min, was on the list at the age of eighteen, and now he is a doctor of Guozi in Guozijian, and his appearance can be described as "Xu Gong of Chengbei"; The second daughter, Xie Ying, ran crazy in the barracks since she was a child, and followed the Northwest Hou to Liangzhou at the age of eight, making good use of spears and being open-minded.
"Ying'er, you're about to enter Beijing, so you can restrain yourself!" Xie Yuan came on a horse and said earnestly.
"Got it." Xie Ying pursed her mouth, "Daddy, you've said this more than a dozen times when you came back from Liangzhou, and my ears are about to become calloused." ”
The two horses walked together, Xie Yuan hated that iron was not steel, and stretched out his hand and knocked on the forehead of his head, "Can Chang'an City and Liangzhou be compared?" What's more, this is His Majesty's decree to summon you and me back to Beijing. ”
Xie Yuan looked at Xie Yingman's indifferent appearance, worried in his heart, he still had a blank secret decree in his hand, and he didn't know what His Majesty was going to do.
"Got it, didn't you go into the city?" Xie Ying blinked, took his hand again, and shouted coquettishly: "Daddy! ”
Xie Yuan really didn't have anything to do with her, so he had to soften his expression and said, "Okay, go back to the carriage." ”
Without saying a word, Xie Ying threw away Xie Yuan's hand, and took a step to the side on horseback, "I'm not going!" ”
Xie Yuan gritted his teeth, "There are no women in Chang'an City who drive horses on the streets." ”
"So what, I like horseback riding!" Xie Ying said angrily, and Xie Yuan was also so angry that she blew his beard and glared.
After a long while, Xie Yuan let out a long sigh and continued to grind hard at her: "Ying'er, we have soldiers in our hands, and we have a marquis, the grace of the heavenly family, how can we show off the market?" ”
Xie Ying lowered her eyes at this time, frowned and sighed: "Daddy, even if this is not the case, Yushitai's eyes are not on the Northwest Hou Mansion?" ”
Xie Yuan was stunned and speechless for a while.
She continued: "Instead of being cautious, it is better to be yourself with affection and sex. ”
"Ying'er, you will suffer a loss if you go back to the capital like this." Xie Yuan said worriedly, Xie Ying got closer and looked at him seriously: "Daddy, I'm measured!" ”
As she spoke, she smiled again, and rode her horse forward with a face full of vernal equinoxes.
Northwest Hou's return to Beijing is a big event, and after entering Yanxing Gate, people in Chang'an City want to come and see the excitement.
"Who's riding a horse?"
"The one who wears the black bead curtain is the second lady of the Northwest Hou Mansion!"
"It's so pretty!"
……
Xie Ying listened to the whispers of those people and raised her eyebrows slightly, and the black fence was the result of the stalemate between her and Xie Yuan.
"Lady, these people are complimenting you on your good looks!" The autumn leaves leading the horses are smiling.
Xie Ying sneered, and complained to Hongye in a low voice: "Don't think I don't know, how the people in Chang'an City have passed me ugly all these years, today I just justified my name." ”
Momiji then nodded fiercely: "The lady is good-looking." ”
The only thing that Kaihuafang opens to the street is the Northwest Hou Mansion, the honor of officials above the third grade, and the Northwest Lake does not dare to face the Vermilion Bird Street.
Xie Min waited in front of the gate of the Hou Mansion when he was resting today.
"Your Excellency." Xie Min took the lead, Xie Ying also turned over and dismounted lightly, and took the lead: "Brother! ”
Xie Yuan glanced at his daughter, but he shook his head helplessly, raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder: "Da Lang." ”
Xie Min naturally took a step back and continued: "My lord has worked hard all the way. ”
When the Northwest Hou heard this, he had no choice but to pat his head suddenly, and then frowned and sighed: "Don't give me all this paperwork, go in quickly!" ”
The eldest son is full of etiquette, and he is not his own temperament; The daughter is open-minded, but she is not restrained, Xie Yuan remembered that he made the decision to let his son learn literature and his daughter practice martial arts, but now he is "regretting not being at the beginning".
As if he had received an amnesty, Xie Ying was the first to step into the Xie Mansion.
Before he took two steps to lead the horse, Xie Min coughed twice, Xie Ying's pupils shrank, this was the code of their brother and sister, as long as Xie Ying did something wrong and her mother came, Xie Min would cough twice.
Sure enough, as soon as she looked up, she saw her mother Zhou standing in the second door, a pair of eyes locked tightly on her, full of helplessness.
Xie Ying swallowed, immediately stuffed the reins into Hongye's hand, and said in a low voice, "Go and lass the horse." After saying that, she also wanted to slip away silently, so Zhou cleared her throat.
The servant woman who was waiting behind her immediately smiled and said, "Second lady, please!" ”
Xie Ying knew that her nightmare was coming.
She stuck out her tongue, and Zhou glanced at her lightly, "Huh? Xie Ying immediately lowered her head, stepped forward and raised her hand to make a move, and the servant woman standing behind Zhou was also anxious, "Second lady, ......"
"Auntie." Xie Ying hurriedly changed to a blessing gift and gave a gift outside the second gate.
Zhou shook his head and sighed, and then ordered: "Let the lady change her clothes first." ”
Red leaves set the horse and went, and Hongying accompanied Xie Ying to her former Huanhuatang, and the two of them enjoyed the current scenery of the Northwest Hou Mansion while walking, and talked about it along the way.
The road that was originally less than a quarter of an hour forced her to walk for a quarter of an hour, and when she arrived at her room, Xie Ying stopped again and looked at the name seriously.
After thinking for a while, he raised his eyebrows and said to Hongying: "When will you change this name?" ”
"Erniang, the eldest lady is still waiting!" The servant woman behind her couldn't help it, so she had to urge.
Xie Ying bit her lip, she should have come or come.
Then she changed her outfit by the servant, combed a spiritual bun, a pale yellow dark striped crewneck shirt as the base, and then wore a pomegranate back, and a long pine green skirt tied at the waist, which was considered complete.
Hongying stood aside and watched, and kept smiling, "The lady will get used to wearing it for a few more days!" ”
Xie Ying can also wear such clothes, she will wear them when she celebrates the festival in Liangzhou, but when she returns to the capital, she has to wear them every day, so she is too troublesome.
Xie Ying glared at Hongying, and the person who was already empty also handed over a long skirt, "Hongying Lady also changed her pants!" ”
Hongying took the skirt on her body, and it was full of unwillingness, and finally let Xie Ying seize the opportunity, "I'll get used to it after wearing it for a few more days!" ”
The servant woman beside her smiled slightly, sighed helplessly, Xie Ying didn't care about her anymore, just stood in front of the bronze mirror and looked at herself over and over.
"When the lady goes to see the eldest lady later, she can't break the rules anymore." The servant woman dusted off her skirt and reminded in a serious voice.
Xie Ying's eyes rolled, and Fu Yi smiled: "Mother-in-law, don't worry, I have measure." ”
