Chapter 9: The Princess

Seeing that He Wan was a little stunned, Qingzhi on the side shook her arm and reminded her to say hello to the middle-aged woman.

Before coming, Qingzhi had already taught her how to salute, and it was not difficult, and after only demonstrating it once, He Wan remembered it clearly.

Thinking that this was Princess Yong, He Wan settled down and saluted her respectfully: "I've seen it-Princess." ”

A stranger she has never met, if she is asked to call A-Niang all at once, it will be a little difficult for her to speak.

Princess Yong is very well maintained, she looks like she is only in her thirties, with phoenix eyes and a long face, and her whole body is not angry and arrogant, she is pursing her lips tightly, trying her best to let the fire that comes out of it go away.

Seeing He Wan saluting, she looked at it carefully, and smiled stiffly with a hint of a smile, "Tong Yan is really beautiful." ”

Born pretty? He Wan didn't know what she meant by this, and she didn't know how she should answer, so she thought about it, so she had to purse her lips and smile.

Just when He Wan hesitated, Princess Yong had already returned to normal, she walked over with a kind smile and took He Wan's hand, "Come in and sit down, look at the injury on this head is not healed, don't stand here blowing the wind." ”

"And Tonghui, come in and sit. You guys, don't be as knowledgeable as Tongyue, she is young and ignorant, just take her words as a deaf ear. She smiled at the tall lady.

Tonghui also had tears in her eyes, bit her lip, and squeezed out a smile, "My daughter knows that Tongyue has always had no intentions." ”

Princess Yong nodded with satisfaction and pulled He Wan into the room.

"Sit down." Princess Yong sat on the top, and when she saw that the two of them were still standing, she raised her eyebrows and smiled.

Although He Wan was born in the countryside, she also has eyes that can look like cats and tigers, and when she saw Tonghui saluting, she also followed her and saluted, and the two said in unison: "Yes." ”

They each took their seats.

The little maids in the house hurriedly brought tea and refreshments and put them on the small table at hand.

He Wan secretly looked at the room, and there were two maids standing beside Princess Yong, who were the ones who greeted her outside the door just now, and Yunxi. There were also two maids standing behind Tonghui, presumably she brought them.

She glanced at Tonghui sitting opposite her again, she lowered her eyes, looked at the floor, she couldn't see clearly, but the corners of her mouth were flat as usual, as if she had eased up.

Princess Yong took a sip of tea, moistened her throat, looked at He Wan and smiled, and asked, "Did it scare you just now?" ”

He Wan looked at her so gentle, and the guard in her heart was also relieved, and she shook her head, "No." ”

"That's your third sister, her nickname is Tongyue, her name is Wen'an, and she is one year younger than you." She pointed to Tonghui opposite He Wan again, "This is your eldest sister, nicknamed Tonghui, titled Qingping, three years older than you." ”

Tonghui hurriedly stood up and saluted He Wan, He Wan stood up at a loss, and also saluted her, the two little ladies were blushing and a little embarrassed.

Princess Yong smiled: "Although you didn't grow up together, but after all, you are sisters, break bones and connect tendons, you must get along in harmony in the future, Tong Yan, do you say it?" ”

The name He Wan, she can't use it anymore, Tongyan, this is her new name, Li Tongyan.

She couldn't help but sigh a little.

Tong Yan smiled obediently and said "yes".

Tonghui also pursed her lips and smiled.

For a while, the house was happy, as if he had forgotten the unhappiness brought by Tongyue.

"In the future, you will call me A-Niang, you don't need to see outside, if you need anything, just send a girl to tell the people around me. On weekdays, I live in the Buddha hall a lot, and you sisters just need to come in the morning to say goodbye. ”

Princess Yong was halfway through her words, she looked a little unspeakable, she hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I'll just say it directly, Mrs. Wang's brain is not very good, where she lives, don't go around." ”

Tong Yan nodded clearly, she subconsciously looked at Tonghui, and saw that Tonghui already had a smile on her face, as if she had forgotten Tongyue's humiliation just now, and she didn't mind the princess's words.

"Another Aunt Lu, she is not feeling well today, so she didn't come to see you, and you will know when I see you in the future. The population of our house is simple, just your three sisters, a lady, an aunt, as well as the prince and the second son, I think you can meet tonight......" Princess Yong was very patient and told her about the big and small things in the house.

Tong Yan listened carefully, but felt that Princess Yong was very kind and cordial.

Unfortunately, this feeling quickly faded.

After explaining some matters in the house, Princess Yong asked with a smile: "Tong Yan must have never read a book." ”

Tong Yan's face was hot, and she pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled: "I know a few words." ”

Princess Yong clasped her palms and said suddenly: "Yes, that person used to read." ”

Tong Yan's expression was a little complicated, she knew that the person Princess Yong was talking about was He Laifu. Indeed, before he became addicted to gambling, he was still a human, literate and bookkeeper!

Many years ago, who would have thought that the He family, who was well-off, would be able to get a ruined field.

Princess Yong did not pause, and continued; "I invited a female gentleman from the Xie family, from tomorrow, you will start the class, our daughter of the Yongwang Mansion, you can't not understand nothing."

Seeing Tong Yan lowering her eyes, her face was a little red, and Princess Yong's smile became even greater, "You don't have to feel any shame, now that you are the county lord, you don't dare to make any small shrimp next to you."

It's just that you came here by coincidence, it will be the Dragon Boat Festival in a few days, as the county lord will inevitably enter the palace, speaking of which, you should have entered the palace today to meet Your Majesty and the queen's mother, this does not mean that you have a wound on the head, and the prince will enter the palace alone.

In the afternoon, I will send an aunt in charge to teach you etiquette, if you go out to meet someone, you can't lose the etiquette, otherwise it will be really embarrassing, but the face of the prince and me will be lost. ”

After saying this, her mouth was a little dry, and she took a sip of tea.

"Okay, I won't say much on the side, if there is anything to ask the girl next to you, Qingzhi was sent to you by the prince, you can rest assured of her." Princess Yong looked at Tong Yan with a somewhat embarrassed look, and her smile seemed to have deep meaning, and it was clear that there was something in her words.

A little maid probed her brain outside the door, which happened to be seen by Princess Yong. She was already irritable in her heart, and said impatiently: "Let that little girl come in, what do you look like when you cower!" ”

This little girl who came suddenly solved Tong Yan's dilemma, she quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and Tong Hui, who was sitting opposite, showed her a kind smile, Tong Yan was a little grateful, and also gave her a smile back.

Entering the painting hurriedly responded, went out and reprimanded the little girl in a low voice, and led her in.

The little maid was not depressed after being reprimanded, her face was still full of joy, and she saluted Princess Yong: "The princess is very happy! ”

Princess Yong looked at the little maid's appearance, and vaguely knew what the happy event was, and the annoyance in her heart suddenly dissipated a lot, her eyebrows and eyes eased, and she leaned out slightly and asked, "What is the happy event?" ”

"There's a letter from Jiangnan, saying that your sister gave birth to a boy, and it's seven pounds heavy, and the mother and son are safe!" The little girl was full of vitality and said in a loud voice

Princess Yong stood up suddenly, her face was full of joy, she smiled from ear to ear, and shouted: "Reward, reward!" It's been a long time since I've had such a happy event, but what about the person who came to deliver the letter? Don't forget to check it out! ”

After that, she smiled and said to herself: "Look at me, this happy person is almost incoherent!" As he spoke, there were tears in his eyes.
