Chapter 154: Enthusiasm
"It's just a cheap maid who is difficult to get into the hall of elegance, and it is worth talking about like this." Chu Yin's eyes were full of disgust.
Xiao Qijin drank the tea leisurely and said lightly: "That girl has her advantages, why should the Queen Mother belittle her so much." ”
Chu Yin snorted coldly, "What's the difference? No matter how outstanding she is, what's the use of being a cheap maid there? She looked at Xiao Qijin, "Jin'er, what the queen mother told you, you have to take it to heart and choose a suitable girl to marry." ”
Xiao Qijin's eyes were leisurely, and her thin lips were slightly raised, "Proper, there is." ”
Chu Yin looked at him suspiciously, "Yes?" Which girl is it? ”
"Jiang Wu is good."
"Jin'er!" Chu Yin's face changed suddenly, and he was displeased.
Xiao Qijin put away the emotions on her face, put down the teacup and stood up, "Wechen is just talking, Wechen will retire first." He bowed and left.
The moment he turned around, he heard Chu Yin's long sigh.
Xiao Qijin walked out of Changle Palace, "Master, you don't really like Miss Jiang Wu, do you?" The little guy asked.
"What, I really like her, it's weird?"
The little guy pursed his lips, "Not really, it's just ...... Master, your identity and Miss Jiang Wu are indeed ...... There are so many differences, they don't quite match. ”
"What am I? The girl followed the regent, but she didn't see anything from the regent. Xiao Qijin said.
"Master, the regent won't marry her, if you really have any interest in Miss Jiang Wu and want to marry her, I'm afraid that the Queen Mother will turn the world upside down, and...... She is still the regent's person now, but I'm afraid, the regent won't let go easily, you have to think twice. The little guy persuaded.
Xiao Qijin hooked her lips and smiled, "Okay, my business, and you don't have to worry about it so much, I know it in my heart." ”
……
Jiang Wu became famous at the Tangram Festival banquet, although she was just a slave, but because of this everyone's praise, it was also very rare.
But no matter how much there was talk about outside, Jiang Wu didn't take these things to heart.
"Jiang Wu, you are also a little celebrity right now." Jiang Sumo said with a smile.
Jiang Wu lowered her eyebrows and smiled lightly, "The princess said that she laughed, but the slave didn't dare." ”
"Now that you've got a reputation outside, it's not a bad thing, what do you think?" Jiang Sumo asked.
Jiang Wu shook her head slightly, she didn't understand what Jiang Sumo meant.
Jiang Sumo said while pruning the flower branches: "At the moment, there is a lot of talk about you outside, most of them are appreciating you, especially those sons, maybe there is a suitable one among them, if you also like it, just tell me, I will call the shots for you." ”
Jiang Wu was stunned, and hurriedly shook his head, "The slave and maid have thanked the princess for her kindness, and I don't dare to bother the princess to worry about the slave and maid." ”
Jiang Sumo bent his lips, "This is nothing to worry about, speaking of which, you are not too young, it is very common for the girl's family to marry when she is old, and you are the most confidant of His Royal Highness, your marriage is not sloppy, these sons and brothers who appreciate you are not vulgar, if you marry in the past, even if you occupy the status of a concubine, it is also good." ”
Jiang Wu pursed her lips, "Princess, slave, slave and maid, slave and maid have no concerns about this. She refused.
Jiang Sumo whispered, "Girl's family, you have to know how to plan for yourself, think about it again, these days, this princess will also help you pay attention to it, if there is really a suitable good family, how can we let it go easily, right?" Jiang Sumo chuckled.
Jiang Sumo said this, and Jiang Wu couldn't say anything more.
"Princess, the girl of the Shen family is here, asking to see the princess." The informant maid walked in and said politely.
"Shen family girl? What a rarity, come on, please come in. ”
Jiang Wu glanced outward, and then bowed, "Princess, the slave went down first." ”
Jiang Sumo waved his hand in motion, and Jiang Wu turned around and walked towards the backyard.
Not long after Jiang Wu left, he saw Shen Shulan, a girl from the Shen family dressed in plain and clean clothes, walking over gracefully, "Shulan has seen the princess, and the princess is blessed." ”
Jiang Sumo greeted Shen Shulan with a smile, "Miss Shen is really a rare guest, how can you come here today." Jiang Sumo said as he called a girl to serve tea.
Shen Shulan sat upright with a smile on her face, "I'm really sorry to disturb the princess." ”
"Eh, what's the bother, it's a good thing that Miss Shen is willing to come, I'm still in this mansion, and I'm still free, Miss Shen came to talk to me, it's too late for me to welcome."
Shen Shulan curled her lips and lowered her eyebrows and smiled, "The princess is easy-going and approachable, I can't wait for joy, if the princess doesn't dislike it, just call me Shulan." ”
Jiang Sumo bowed his head and chatted with Shen Shulan for a few words.
After talking a few words, Jiang Sumo bluntly asked Shen Shulan about his intentions.
Although Shen Shulan was chatting with her on her face, Jiang Sumo could see that Shen Shulan had other intentions.
"Speaking of which, it shouldn't be a big deal, it's Shulan who is stupid, my mother gave me an embroidery job, and wanted me to embroider a pillow scarf, this embroidery is my specialty, but I want to do a better job of what my mother explained, so I want to learn the embroidery pattern of Jiang Wu girl that day, and embroider with gold and silver double needle embroidery, but who would have thought that I was stupid and couldn't embroider well, so ...... So I want to ask Miss Jiang Wu to come to my place to teach me, I don't know if it's okay. ”
Shen Shulan came this time because of Jiang Wu, Jiang Sumo was a little surprised, but this slight surprise was fleeting.
"I thought it was something, but it was such a trivial matter." Jiang Sumo said with a smile.
Shen Shulan covered her lips, "It's not a big deal, but Shulan knows that Miss Jiang Wu is a close confidant of His Royal Highness the Regent, and Shulan wants to ask her for help, so she doesn't dare to slack off." ”
"It's not difficult, but let her teach her sister embroidery, and I'll call her for you." After speaking, he commanded the winter beside him.
Jiang Wu was cleaning up in the main courtyard, and Fu Dong came over, saying that the princess had called her over. She didn't dare to slack off, put down the work in her hand, and rushed over.
When I walked to the front hall, I saw that there was one person besides Jiang Sumo. She recognized this person as the girl from the Shen family at the Tangram Festival banquet.
Jiang Wu saluted the two.
When Shen Shulan saw Jiang Wu, she was full of smiles, and she didn't make a detour, and she bluntly explained her intention to Jiang Wu.
Jiang Wu was slightly surprised, and subconsciously looked at Jiang Sumo.
Jiang Sumo's face was gentle, and he said softly: "You can go with Miss Shen, and you have to teach Miss Shen well." ”
Shen Shulan came specially for her, Jiang Sumo also agreed, and Jiang Wu had nothing to refuse.
Seeing Jiang Wu's promise, Shen Shulan was overjoyed and immediately wanted to take Jiang Wu away.
Jiang Sumo asked his subordinates to send Shen Shulan out of the house.
Jiang Wu followed Shen Shulan out of the palace, and along the way, Shen Shulan was very enthusiastic about her, asking her age, how long she had been in the regent palace, and so on.
Shen Shulan's enthusiasm is good, but it is too enthusiastic, Jiang Wu feels a little overwhelmed.
When she arrived at the Shen Mansion, Shen Shulan couldn't stop talking to her about everything in the Shen Mansion, what the front yard and the back yard were like, Jiang Wu blinked, "Miss Shen, don't you want to learn embroidery, let's start?" ”
After Jiang Wu's mention, Shen Shulan pulled back from her surging emotions and hurriedly called someone to bring the embroidery plate.
Shen Shulan is able to embroider, and the embroidery skills are not inferior to the professional embroidery girls, Jiang Wu's gold and silver double needle embroidery method is not easy, but it should not be difficult for Shen Shulan who has exquisite embroidery skills.
But for some reason, she taught it two or three times, but Shen Shulan was still confused, either the stitches here were wrong, or the embroidery method there was forgotten, and she tossed for a long time.
Jiang Wu is dedicated to teaching Shen Shulan, and Shen Shulan listened and chatted with her. Before I knew it, an hour had passed.
Jiang Wu looked out at the hour and said hello to Shen Shulan.
Shen Shulan sighed lightly and put down the needle and thread in her hand, "Look at me, I'm so stupid, I've studied this for a long time, and I haven't learned it yet, but it's hard for you." ”
Jiang Wu smiled softly, "Why does Miss Shen need to say this, it is not easy to save gold and silver double needle embroidery." ”
"Then let's do this for now, when the two of you are free, I will take you over, and you will teach me again, but don't dislike me because I am stupid." Shen Shulan quipped.
"Slaves don't dare."
Shen Shulan sent Jiang Wu out of the Shen Mansion with a smile, watching Jiang Wu leave, she let out a long breath, and in the next moment, she glanced at the figure that was hiding.
Two days later, Shen Shulan came to her and took her to Shen's mansion to learn embroidery, and this time, she was left for dinner.
In the middle of the night, Jiang Wu changed Yun Rongjue's clothes, and Yun Rongjue mentioned the matter.
"It seems that this girl from the Shen family likes you quite a lot." Yun Rongjue said.
Jiang Wu pursed her lips, "It seems to be." Shen Shulan is very enthusiastic about her.
"Do you want to go to Shen Mansion tomorrow?" He asked.
"Well, Your Highness, Xiao Wu will watch the time, and he won't delay the affairs of the house." She said.
Yun Rongjue suddenly turned around, Jiang Wu was caught off guard, and almost collided, her feet subconsciously retreated, her body leaned back, his eyes were quick, he buckled her slender waist, and pulled her to his side. Love you eBook
"Sister, be careful."
Jiang Wu raised his eyes to look at him, his eyes blinking, "It was His Highness who suddenly turned around." ”
Yun Rongjue smiled slightly, and his eyebrows were filled with a shallow doting color, "You can go as long as you go, you don't have to be so careful, there is nothing to do in this mansion, you are the person next to this king, it is enough to serve this king well." ”
Jiang Wu blinked his eyes and nodded.
In the afternoon of the next day, Shen Shulan came to the palace and took Jiang Wu away.
When he arrived at the Shen Mansion, Jiang Wu talked to Shen Shulan about embroidery as before.
About half an hour, Shen Shulan put down the needle and thread in her hand and stretched her waist, "Jiang Wu, we've been embroidering for more than half an hour, and I'm tired." ”
Jiang Wu heard it and said, "That...... That's all for today, and in two days the girl will be empty, and the slave will come again. ”
Shen Shulan pulled her to stand up, "Eh, just rest a little, by the way, the calendula in the backyard of our Shen Mansion has bloomed in the past two days, but it's beautiful, let's go, let's take a look, and relax by the way!" ”
Without waiting for Jiang Wu to say anything, Shen Shulan had already pulled her out of the house.
Although the backyard of the Shen Mansion is not as big as the backyard of the Regent's Mansion, it is also elegantly arranged, as Shen Shulan said, there are several marigolds in the yard, it is in the flower season, it is in full bloom, it is golden, it is very good-looking.
In addition to calendula, there are many orchids.
"Jiang Wu, aren't these flowers beautiful?"
"Well, these flowers are in full bloom and beautiful."
Shen Shulan chatted with Jiang Wu without a match.
While the two were chatting, suddenly, a man in plain clothes walked over.
"Second brother!" Shen Shulan called.
Jiang Wu only subconsciously raised his eyes and glanced at it, then lowered his head.
"Second brother, this is Jiang Wu!" Shen Shulan pulled Jiang Wu forward.
"Jiang Wu, this is my second brother!"
"You are Jiang Wu." The man spoke.
Jiang Wu always lowered his eyes, "The slave is." ”
"Eh, Jiang Wu, my second brother and I are not people who are too rigid in etiquette, and you came to Shen Mansion to teach me embroidery, there is no need to carry those rules too much, my second brother knows your name!"
"The girl's tangram feast was full of color, and Shen had heard about it and appreciated the girl's talent."
Jiang Wu slowly raised his head and saw the appearance of the person in front of him.
Shen Ergongzi was dressed in plain clothes, and his face was delicate and clean, but there seemed to be a bit of fatigue on his delicate and clean face.
"The son has won the award, and the slave doesn't dare to be it." Jiang Wu said.
"The girl is also modest, the girl's embroidery is exquisite, even my sister who is an excellent embroiderer, has been compared, and the girl's poems are really wonderful! Shen admired and admired. ”
For Shen Ergongzi's unstingy and even some praise, Jiang Wu was a little overwhelmed.
Shen Ergongzi and Shen Shulan seemed to be singing and chatting with Jiang Wu.
Although the two are enthusiastic, Jiang Wu's identity is different from theirs, she always carries the rules, she doesn't dare to forget, and she doesn't dare to exceed half a point.
"Miss Shen, can we continue to learn embroidery today? If the girl does not study today, the slave will come back in two days. Jiang Wu reminded at the right time.
Shen Shulan opened her lips, and after glancing at her brother, she hurriedly said, "Learn!" Of course learn, aren't we coming out to relax and relax, this rest is almost over, let's continue to continue. ”
After speaking, Shen Shulan smiled at Shen Ergongzi, "Second brother, let's go back to the house first." ”
Shen Ergongzi bowed his head, looked at the backs of the two of them gradually drifting apart, and retracted his gaze for a long time.
"Jiang Wu, that one is my second brother, my second brother's name is Shen Yuanfei." Shen Shulan said.
Jiang Wu listened to Shen Shulan's words and nodded lightly.
"Jiang Wu, what about my second brother, his body is not as strong as ordinary people, but he is proficient in poetry and songs, and he has a gentle temperament, but he is excellent." Shen Shulan praised her brother.
Jiang Wu listened, not too much to heart.
The two returned to the house, Jiang Wu was focused on embroidery, she held a towel and talked to Shen Shulan, although Shen Shulan listened, but from time to time she brought the words to Shen Yuanfei's body.
"Jiang Wu, what do you think, how is my second brother?"
Jiang Wu was embroidering a scarf, Shen Shulan suddenly asked such a sentence, she nodded subconsciously, "Well, the second son is very good." ”
"Really?! Do you really think my second brother is good? Shen Shulan's eyes lit up.
Jiang Wu bowed his head.
Although her answer was casual, it was not against her will, she didn't know Shen Yuanfei, but Shen Yuanfei was gentle and gentle when he talked to them, if it was as Shen Shulan said, he had a gentle temperament and was good at poetry and songs, which was naturally excellent.
Jiang Wu didn't notice the emotion in Shen Shulan's eyes.
After teaching Shen Shulan, Jiang Wu was called by Shen Shulan to stay when he wanted to leave. Shen Shulan insisted on keeping her for dinner.
She couldn't refuse, so she had to stay.
Dinner was sumptuous and sumptuous .
I thought it was a dinner for the two, but I never thought that Shen Yuanfei would also come.
For dinner, Shen Yuanfei and Shen Shulan kept talking to her, Jiang Wu looked at the excessive enthusiasm of the two, and she couldn't stand it, but she was helpless.
Two more days passed after that day.
Shen Shulan came to Jiang Wu, this time not for embroidery, but for good weather, and to thank him, he invited Jiang Wu to travel to the lake. Jiang Wu wanted to pass the buck, but Shen Shulan insisted, and with Jiang Sumo's push, she couldn't refuse, so she had to go with Shen Shulan.
After Jiang Wu and Shen Shulan left the palace, Jiang Sumo slowly retracted his gaze, and after a while, the maid walked over with something in her hand, "Princess, this is sent by the girl of the Shen family, saying that she is grateful to the princess." ”
Fu Dong took it and opened the box, Jiang Sumo chuckled, "Miss Shen has a heart, it is reasonable for me to help her, there is no need for her to be so polite." ”
Fu Dong chuckled, "This girl from the Shen family knows how to be grateful, since Miss Shen sent it, the princess is not good at brushing off the girl's kindness." ”
Jiang Sumo glanced at the contents of the box, "That's it, let's receive the warehouse." ”
Jiang Wu followed Shen Shulan to go boating on the lake, the bamboo boat was walking slowly on the lake, surrounded by blooming lotus flowers and lotus leaves, pleasant.
Suddenly, the bamboo boat curtain was lifted, Jiang Wu subconsciously turned her head, and when she saw Shen Yuanfei, she quickly stood up, "Second son Shen." ”
"Miss Jiang and I don't need to be polite."
"Miss Shen, this ......" Jiang Wu turned to look at Shen Shulan, his eyes full of doubts.
Shen Shulan chuckled, "I just found out that my second brother happened to be here, so I asked him to come over with us, the weather is good today, and the scenery around here is also very good, let's swim in the lake together, and then pair poems together, isn't it beautiful!" ”
Jiang Wu sighed in his heart, but he couldn't say anything.
……
Yun Rongjue returned to the palace, didn't see the little girl, asked the people around her, and was told that the little girl went out with the Shen family girl again.
Yun Rongjue was a little puzzled.
"Your Highness, the concubine has boiled some mung bean soup in the small kitchen, and it has been chilled for half an hour, and it is just right to drink it now." Jiang Sumo brought a bowl of mung bean soup.
"No need, this king still has to go out," he glanced at Jiang Sumo, "Jiang Wu and the girl of the Shen family have been very close these days?" Then the girl of the Shen family often comes to her, doesn't she? ”
Jiang Sumo nodded, "Yes, the girl of the Shen family is also very good, because of the embroidery style, she came to Jiang Wu to learn, and she also talked about it with the concubine, but she likes Jiang Wu very much, the concubine thinks, Jiang Wu does not have many friends around her, and the girl of the Shen family is kind, and it is not a bad thing for the two to interact more, Your Highness said yes?" ”
Yun Rongjue was dark, and after a faint sound, he turned around and left.
He left the palace and went straight to the place agreed with Xiao Qijin.
He appointed Xiao Qijin as an official, although the official rank was not big, but he knew Xiao Qijin's ability, and in many things, he was willing to discuss with Xiao Qijin, and Xiao Qijin was also happy.
"Come here to discuss things, and you can figure it out to you, Lord Xiao." Yun Rongjue looked around.
Xiao Qijin smiled, "The weather is good today, not as hot as a few days ago, and the breeze is cool. ”
