Chapter 114: Competing for favor
At first, Zhao Ci said that she wanted to be elected as a jade girl and had the opportunity to become a show girl and enter the palace, she was also very curious, and then asked Rui'er to learn about Zhao Ci's family background, and more and more she felt that it was not Zhao Ci's own will to enter the palace.
"I don't know!" Zhao Ci glanced up at Jin Ling, and tears fell, "I know that you are more assertive than me, and you are also for my good, but our lives are different, just like my mother, why doesn't she want to make up her own mind." But ......"
"Don't talk about your mother!" Jin Ling reminded Zhao Ci again in harmony, "Say yourself!" What's in your heart! Since you have all wanted to move out before, it proves that you don't agree with your mother's way of life in your heart. So why leave her at her mercy? Although she is your mother who gave you life. But life is your own, you are independent! Not for anyone to live! ”
"I want to take my mother with you!" Zhao Ci's eyes were clear after crying, "I can't move her alone!" Tianqing also helped me talk about it, but my mother told me about it. I thought, if you can't even say that you can't move her, I'll accept my fate! ”
"Good!" Jin Ling nodded, "You find a time, I'll talk about it." Tell me about your mother's situation first. Your female celebrity is the first, but it's because your mother's female celebrity is so ......"
"My mother was born as an embroiderer, and my father accepted her ...... because he admired my mother's embroidery."
Three days later, Jin Ling took Rui'er Li Chef Liu Yi to Zhao's house.
The Zhao family is the leading silk merchant in Jinling City, and the shops of the Zhao family's silk shop can be seen everywhere in Jinling City. The Zhao family and the Jin family are in the same Fulin Alley in the west of the city.
The Zhao family's mansion is much larger than the Jin family.
Zhao Ci's father had a wife and six concubines, and the mansion was divided into several small courtyards. The pavilions and pavilions are scattered, and the entire Zhao Mansion is a small palace.
Zhao Ci's mother lived in a small courtyard in the far north.
Just from the residence, it can be seen that Zhao Ci's mother is indeed the most unpowerful one in the family.
Because the small courtyard was too far away from the main gate on the south side, Zhao Ci usually went out from the corner gate on the north side.
When Jin Ling's carriage arrived, Zhao Ci was already waiting at the door.
Jin Ling got out of the car, and Zhao Ci greeted him with a smile on his face.
Holding Jin Ling's hand, he slowly walked into the courtyard.
Although it is a small courtyard in the corner, it is also quite exquisite, rockery and flowing water, and the garden verandah are also all available. Judging from the courtyard alone, the Zhao family's financial resources are much better than those of the Jin family.
"My mother is making embroidery!" Zhao Ci said in a low voice as he walked, "She is in a better mood these days, I took the embroidery first, and my father came to our room that night." You don't know, my dad hasn't been here for half a year. My mother said it was all because of my work. My mother has been very kind to me these days. ”
"Your mother likes your father very much?" Jin Ling has never seen Zhao Ci's father, but Zhao Cisheng's beauty, it is conceivable that her father and mother should be good.
"Look at you!" Zhao Ci smiled, "If you don't like it, you won't marry my father." Naturally, I like it. It's just that my mother is sincere, but she can't resist the fact that the women in front of her will play tricks to compete for favor. Gradually, my mother saw my father less and less. The morning and dusk on the eldest lady's side are fixed, but the day does not fall......"
The two of them talked and entered the room.
The doors and windows of the flower hall were wide open, and the breeze with the fragrance of flowers passed through the hall.
On the embroidery stand in the middle of the flower hall, a woman in a lilac-colored gauze skirt is concentrating on the flying needle and embroidering a hundred pictures.
It's only half a frame, but it's already lifelike.
"!" Zhao Ci called softly, "Jin Ling is here!" ”
"Ahh The woman put the embroidery needle on the embroidery and looked up.
The woman's eyebrows and smile are very similar to Zhao Ci.
It is also beneficial for the child to be born early, just like the mother and daughter in front of her, walking out is not a pair of sisters.
This Zhao Ci's mother should not be as old as her when she looks old.
"Hello aunt!" Jin Ling followed the customs and made a blessing.
"Oops!" The woman hurriedly got up, "Fairy, hurry up and excuse me, you are a wine fairy given by the Holy Chrysostom, and my aunt can't afford your courtesy." ”
The woman got up and saluted back.
"Butterfly, tea!" The woman commanded and led Jin Ling to sit on the soft couch by the window.
The woman kept looking at Jin Ling with a smile in her eyebrows: "The wine fairy is the wine fairy, look how beautiful you are!" ”
Aunt said with a smile, Aunt and Zhao Ci are both first-class beauties. Auntie, in fact, Jin Ling is here to ask for your help! ”
Gu Tianqing had already come over to speak for Zhao Ci once.
The woman has already thought of the right words.
Unexpectedly, Jin Ling said that she was going to ask her for help, but she didn't answer for a while.
Seeing that the maid took the tea, he hurriedly took it and put it in front of Jin Ling: "The wine fairy drinks tea." You're a wine fairy, where can your aunt help you? You say, "If there's anything you need your aunt to do, just say." ”
"That's right." Jin Ling smiled and said, "I'm going to the imperial capital soon, before I leave, I just want to bring some of our Jinling City things that are good and cheap, and what the capital doesn't have in the capital to sell!" Then the various items are semicolonized over there. It's just that the embroidery part needs a skilled craftsman. My aunt is a connoisseur. Will you come and help me for a while, and then you will come back with your apprentices? Besides, didn't you let Zhao Ci enter the palace? In this way, you used to take care of her nearby, didn't you? ”
"This ......" The woman suddenly looked at Zhao Ci, and then looked at Jin Ling and sighed, "I want to go too, but it's just ......"
"That ......," Jin Ling took a sip of tea before saying, "This tea is a little light, or you let Zhao Ci take you to help me make a new one." ”
Zhao Ci quickly understood and walked out with the two little girls.
There were only two people left in the hall.
Jin Ling smiled at the woman and said, "Is my aunt reluctant to go home or reluctant to my uncle?" ”
The woman's face turned red, and she suddenly smiled: "Look at you kid! How could you talk like that! ”
"Auntie, don't be surprised, since she was enlightened by the goddess, Jin Ling has always spoken so straightforwardly." Jin Ling smiled and said, "Auntie, in fact, Jin Ling is doing this to help you keep your uncle's heart, attract his attention, and get more favor from him!" The women in front of you are all using means, how can you do it in such obscurity? Zhao Ci took the name, and the uncle looked down on you. But ah, this name can't be taken every day. There is also the fact that Zhao Ci entered the palace and gained power, and Emperor Gao was far away that day, and his uncle couldn't come every day after a long time. ”
"I didn't think about every day." The woman smiled shyly, "Just come once in a while!" ”
"So, you're still working on yourself! You listen to me and do what I say, it will be difficult for your uncle not to come in the future......"
