Chapter 139: Princess
Such a crowd naturally made Shi Jinxiu a little nervous.
She had only seen such a scene on Mrs. Shi's birthday.
And the people invited by Mrs. Shi naturally couldn't talk to the eldest princess on the same day.
These people who can become guests of the eldest princess's mansion are probably mostly after the three princes and nine kings, and she can come, it is very likely that it is because of Emperor Qingde's marriage decree, which made the eldest princess a little interested in her.
If it comes, it will be safe.
Shi Jinxiu took a deep breath and bowed down again.
Then she heard someone whisper: "This is Lord Yuwen's little wife?" Why does it look so thin, like a bean sprout that hasn't grown big yet! ”
"These two people didn't visit the church, and the other didn't get married, what kind of husband and wife are they?" I didn't think about it, but someone sneered on the side.
"What's wrong with not having a chapel? They were given marriage by the emperor, and if they don't get married, they will resist the decree. Someone even let out a sneer, "This Shi family is not as good as your Zhan family, if they want to withdraw from the marriage, they will lose their heads." ”
Although the voices of these people were very small, the words they could say made Shi Jinxiu hear them clearly.
Especially when someone mentioned the Zhan family, it made her ears pricked up when she was lying there.
Sure enough, the two who had just spoken argued quietly.
One questioned: "What do you mean by that?" ”
Another choked back: "What you say you mean is what you mean!" ”
Fortunately, someone spoke out and became a peacemaker: "Let's say less!" If the eldest princess blames this, no one will be able to do good! ”
The two of them snorted coldly, raised their flags, and stopped drumming.
"That girl from the Shi family, come over and let me take a look." Just when Shi Jinxiu didn't know if he would lie down until the Year of the Monkey, he suddenly heard humanity.
Shi Jinxiu hurriedly responded with a "whoosh" and quickly got up, but didn't forget to quietly glance to the side.
I saw three young women wearing small gold jackets all over the place, sitting on the small pestle next to the wooden ladder, looking at her with different expressions.
Because he didn't know who they were, Shi Jinxiu walked over expressionlessly.
The eldest princess, whose hair has gray hair, looks very similar to Emperor Qingde, but compared to Emperor Qingde, the eldest princess has a majesty, which makes people dare not make trouble in front of her.
"You are the fifth girl of the Shi family? That's too skinny! As soon as the eldest princess saw her, she frowned.
Shi Jinxiu's heart jumped wildly, and she didn't know how to answer for a while.
Fortunately, the eldest princess didn't expect her to answer, but continued to ask, "How many people are in the family?" Have you ever read a book? What do you like to do on weekdays? ”
Remembering what Yu Wenyan said, Shi Jinxiu answered truthfully one by one, including the fact that they had moved out of the Changxing Marquis Mansion.
didn't think about this sentence, but brought up the eldest princess's interest: "It's strange, the stubborn old lady of the Shi family will let you out of the house?" ”
A stubborn old lady?
Does the eldest princess refer to a grandmother?
It was the first time she had heard someone describe her grandmother in that way.
It's just that the eldest princess seems to be older than her grandmother, and she can't help but laugh when she doesn't think that she actually calls her grandmother "old lady".
But when she thought that the eldest princess was sitting opposite her, she was too frivolous to behave like this, so she had to hold back a smile.
"Laugh if you want." The eldest princess saw it, but rolled her eyes lightly, "I know your grandmother's temperament best, and you juniors are afraid that you will not suffer less!" ”
This is called how Shi Jinxiu answered, no matter how bad her grandmother is, she is also her elder, and she is a person who cannot be criticized at will.
So she smiled and stopped talking.
I didn't expect the eldest princess to get close to her, and she talked more.
After a while, Aunt Xu, who had brought her before, quietly stepped forward to show her: "Your Highness, a banquet has been prepared in the Purple Smoke Pavilion, is it possible to move it now?" ”
The eldest princess didn't reply yet, but she didn't think that Shi Jinxiu's stomach was "gurgling", which made several women sitting nearby couldn't help but hide their faces and laugh.
Shi Jinxiu felt embarrassed.
She only used some flower rolls and millet porridge in the morning, and she was already hungry by this time.
"Since someone is hungry, let's move to the Purple Smoke Pavilion." The eldest princess didn't mean to embarrass her, but let everyone go to the Purple Smoke Pavilion.
The women who were sitting around the eldest princess before got up one after another, and for a while, the warm pavilion was surrounded by dingdong.
Shi Jinxiu subconsciously avoided the aside.
But the eldest princess held out her hand.
Shi Jinxiu quickly reacted, stepped forward and helped the eldest princess's arm, and then supported the eldest princess to go downstairs first.
But such a move actually made people jealous.
"I really underestimated this girl, but the effort of three or two sentences made Her Royal Highness the eldest princess look at her differently." Some people complained dissatisfied.
Aunt Xu followed the voice and looked over, and said with a straight face: "Who is dissatisfied?" Those who are dissatisfied can leave on their own. ”
The crowd who had just echoed the voice was immediately silenced.
"This is the Eldest Princess's Mansion, and Your Highness doesn't need to ask for your opinion on who he wants to be good to, right?" Aunt Xu's words made everyone unable to raise their heads.
Naturally, everyone didn't dare to say anything more, but some people hated Shi Jinxiu from the bottom of their hearts.
It's just that Shi Jinxiu didn't realize this.
She went to the Purple Smoke Pavilion with the eldest princess and was arranged to sit next to the eldest princess.
During the banquet, someone suggested with a smile: "How boring it is for us to sit and eat like this, why don't we also learn from the ancients and make a wine order?" ”
The eldest princess is widowed on weekdays, and only occasionally invites these noble ladies to accompany one or two, but today she saw that there were many people, and she also wanted to be lively, so she smiled and agreed, and asked someone to take a set of red gold head noodles: "I want to see how you play, and if you win, you will reward me with this set of head noodles for her!" ”
In this way, everyone's interest is high.
"On the way here, I saw that the plum blossoms in the plum garden in the house were blooming just right, why don't we say a poem related to plum blossoms, and if you can't answer, you will be punished with a cup!" Someone proposed.
As soon as the proposal came out, naturally some people were happy and some were worried.
These women who hide in the boudoir on weekdays, and they don't have to take the top prize, who will really recite poems?
"It's too hard! I admit to punishment, okay if I drank it first? "Someone was the first to surrender.
Seeing them making such a fuss, Shi Jinxiu secretly looked at the eldest princess's expression, and saw that she was always smiling, and took out the red gold head to make a color head, presumably also supportive.
Therefore, when someone asked her about participating in the meeting, Shi Jinxiu nodded hesitantly.
