Chapter 195: Spring Banquet (Second Watch)
The eldest princess has stayed in the capital since Yu Wenyan's wedding.
Although the eldest princess told people that she was old and didn't want to toss back and forth.
But Aunt Xu knew that the eldest princess was worried that Shi Jinxiu, who was not from a high background, would not be able to mix in the circle of noblewomen in the capital in the future, so the eldest princess, who loved purity so much on weekdays, would deliberately hold such a spring banquet.
Therefore, as soon as Shi Jinxiu's carriage arrived, Aunt Xu personally went to Yimen to pick her up.
Shi Jinxiu was flattered.
The two talked all the way and went from Yimen to the flower hall of the eldest princess.
The eldest princess was eating, and when she saw Shi Jinxiu coming, she beckoned her to sit down beside her, and asked Aunt Xu to also bring Shi Jinxiu a bowl of millet porridge.
Shi Jinxiu came with breakfast, but the eldest princess's hospitality was difficult to resist.
Fortunately, Aunt Xu only gave her half a bowl, and Shi Jinxiu smiled at Aunt Xu very gratefully.
Accompanied the eldest princess to have breakfast, but the eldest princess wanted to go to the garden to eat.
"When you're old, you can eat something and your stomach will swell." The eldest princess said to Shi Jinxiu.
Shi Jinxiu hurriedly stepped forward and helped the eldest princess's arm, and said with a smile: "My grandmother is the same, she often said that after a meal, you will walk a hundred steps and live to ninety-nine." ”
"Your grandmother?" As the eldest princess walked, she recalled, "I remember that she was younger than me! ”
"Well, she just celebrated her sixtieth birthday last year." Shi Jinxiu responded carefully on the side.
The eldest princess nodded: "But how did I hear that she was so angry with several children in the family that she had a stroke?" ”
Shi Jinxiu smiled a little embarrassedly when she heard this: "I really can't hide anything from you." ”
"Hmph, so I said, what do you do to have children? Isn't it old and old, adding to your own blockage everywhere? The eldest princess snorted coldly, "But speaking of which, this kid Yu Wenyan is also an uneasy person, I heard that he has recently arrested a lot of Hu people?" ”
"Hmm." Shi Jinxiu told the eldest princess about going to Huguo Temple to incense that day, "It's also that those people are not good, and they met adults on the day they were born, so they were all arrested." ”
"Can you find out the identities of those Hu people?" The eldest princess asked casually.
"I don't know about this...... Shi Jinxiu looked ashamed, "I don't usually ask about the business of adults. ”
"That's fine, we women don't have to mix up their men's affairs," the eldest princess patted Shi Jinxiu's hand, "so as not to have something happen in the future, just ask us women to take the blame for them!" ”
Shi Jinxiu, who heard this, was very surprised, she didn't expect the eldest princess to say this.
"Throughout the ages, how many men have done bad things, but they have put the blame on us women?" The eldest princess pursed her lips, "I don't believe that if the King of Shang and the King of Zhou You hadn't done a lot of injustice themselves, they would have been able to bring disaster to women like Daji Baoxi?" ”
This is the first time Shi Jinxiu has heard such an argument, but she thinks it makes sense, so she lowered her head and smiled.
"But then again, there are few wives and husbands," the eldest princess continued to say to Shi Jinxiu, "I hope that you will be harmonious." ”
"Teachings of Princess Xie." Shi Jinxiu squatted on the side.
"Don't be in a hurry to thank you!" The eldest princess stopped, and Zhengse said to her, "Yu Wenyan was born with a quiet temperament, and he doesn't like to make friends with people and drill camps, his temperament is most suitable for being a rich idler, but he took the job of the Zhenfu Division by mistake, and his tranquil temperament has become a little unkind in the eyes of others." ”
"In the past, he didn't have a family, and those people couldn't help him, so they had to give up, but now it's different, he is married." The eldest princess looked at Shi Jinxiu, "What they can't do with him is likely to be transferred to you, plus you are young and have never experienced anything, it is inevitable that you will not be picked up by them." ”
Hearing this, Shi Jinxiu suddenly understood why the eldest princess wanted to say something like that to herself before.
She is afraid that she is young and will accept it indiscriminately outside, if Yu Wenyan does not do it, she will hurt the feelings of the husband and wife, and if Yu Wenyan does it, she is afraid of causing some trouble to Yu Wenyan.
Therefore, the eldest princess specially said to her, "A good wife and a husband have few misfortunes".
"Eldest Princess, I know what you mean." Shi Jinxiu said to the eldest princess, "I, like adults, also belong to the temperament that doesn't like to move around very much, and adults also said that he will not ask me to change for him." ”
"Oh, that's like what that kid would say." The eldest princess smiled and nodded.
"These people I invite into the mansion today can be regarded as the leading people in this capital, if they entrust them to you in the future, you can't shirk it, just push it on my head! My old bones can still block for you for a few years, just block it for a few years! The eldest princess sighed and walked on.
"Stepmother......" Shi Jinxiu muttered a little.
The eldest princess really doesn't treat Yu Wenyan well, even if it's her own son, it's just like that, right?
She hurriedly followed, and continued to support the eldest princess, and the eldest princess patted Shi Jinxiu's hand again like a loving mother.
Just after they walked around the garden twice, Aunt Xu came to report: "Mrs. Zheng Anbo and Mrs. Zheng have arrived." ”
After hearing this, the eldest princess nodded, turned around and walked towards the flower hall.
Shi Jinxiu was a little curious, deliberately a step or two behind, and asked Aunt Xu, who was following the eldest princess: "Is this old lady and Mrs. Zheng Anbo coming so early, also at the behest of the eldest princess?" ”
Aunt Xu smiled with her when she heard this: "It's not too early, this prince is a man, Zheng Anbo is just an uncle, it's just right to come at this time." ”
As soon as Shi Jinxiu heard it, he knew that there must be something special here.
It's just that when she was in the Changxing Hou Mansion, Mrs. Shi never took her out, in the dream, although she married to the Dingbei Hou Mansion, but she married Li Yue's fool, no matter what happened in the family, it was not her turn to be the master of the house, so she never told her what was the way here.
Seeing Shi Jinxiu's look of understanding or not, Aunt Xu continued: "The eldest princess invited all the daughters of the Duke, Hou and Uncle families in the capital today, and when she sent the invitation, she had already informed them which families the eldest princess would invite, and these people would arrange the time for travel. ”
"It can't be too early, it's not too late, and you can't squeeze in with everyone." Aunt Xu said with a smile, "And those who have the status of people have to take care of this time, they are eager to come early, and they feel that they think they are high and easy to fall into laughter." ”
"Then this ...... the daughter of Zheng Anbo's family," Shi Jinxiu seemed to understand when she heard it, "They came so early, do they think that Zheng Anbo is inferior to other lords?" ”
When Aunt Xu heard this, her smile became even bigger: "The old lady of Zheng Anbo's family and the eldest princess have known each other for many years, and they came early, but they seem to be close to the eldest princess. ”
When Aunt Xu said this, Shi Jinxiu, who had just understood a little, became confused again: "Is it better to come early or late?" ”
