Chapter 125: Changlan
Ying Shu's heart was moved, and when she saw a layer of fine beads of sweat on the man's forehead, she was even more moved, and she got up and kissed Shen Bin heavily.
Shen Bin smirked, and then didn't forget to ask: "Next time, if Qi Ranran comes, you don't want to see it." She is nothing, and she doesn't dare to sue her mother. I believe you have a sense of proportion. ”
Ying Shu shook her head: "It's because the princess doesn't care that I have to do the trick even more." I know you didn't tell me because you wanted to protect me, but I knew in my heart that I had to be your wife. ”
Shen Bin nodded, "This time I went to Changlan, who should we bring and what things should we bring in our courtyard, have you thought about it?" ”
Ying Shu had already thought about it a little, and replied: "It's not too much, after all, when you go to Changlan, how can you put on a show?" Just bring some with you. ”
Shen Bin shook his head: "If you want me to see it, you don't have to worry about it, just bring it with you every day." The rest of the maids who serve closely can be brought, but they don't have to be so cumbersome. ”
And it wasn't until the day when she actually arrived in Changlan that Ying Shu knew what Shen Bin meant.
It's not that you don't have to bring less stuff so as not to be cumbersome and not enough to put it, but that there is everything in the Zhuangzi.
Ying Shu felt that the eldest princess should be rich. According to the rules, Changlan should be the exclusive forbidden garden of the royal family, and it must be allowed by the emperor to enter, and there will be no people living around. The dignity of the eldest princess lies in the fact that near the Changlan paddock, there can also be a large courtyard as a companion to the eldest princess's family. And it is very close to the Changlan paddock, and the carriage can reach the viewing platform in only a quarter of an hour.
And it takes two moments to walk to the viewing platform at the residence of the official family in Changlan. It seems that it is more convenient to live outside than to live in a tent inside.
Ying Shu and Shen Bin live in a small three-entry courtyard, although it is smaller than the Shanyue Residence when they were in the princess's mansion, but the conditions are already very good. And although the sparrows are small and complete, there are already maids and followers who are ready to serve here, and there are all kinds of daily necessities. And what Shen Bin really means is that you don't need to bring anything at all, just bring something you like, and the rest is here.
Only then did Ying Shu realize how redundant it was to carry those cage packages.
"Are you alright?" Shen Bin seemed to show off in front of Ying Shu, "Although this place is not as spacious and bright as the princess's mansion in the city, it is much better than living in those tents." I deliberately want to come to this laurel garden, there is a small door behind us, if you want to go back to the capital, you can do it. ”
Ying Shu was still shocked, "This ...... Is the princess's family so rich? Your Majesty is still living in a tent in the paddock, and we are living in a house here, isn't it ......?"
Shen Bin disagreed, "This is a rule that existed when the first emperor was in place. The first emperor liked his mother, and his mother was a noble princess, so she naturally had a different status. He smiled, "Speaking of which, these were originally two houses, the big one was given to my mother, and the younger one was given to my aunt. It's just that Aunt Fuchang disliked that the location here was too remote and useless, so she gave it to her mother and made a big house together. But then Aunt Fuchang regretted it and lived here with us. ”
Ying Shu has never doubted that this mansion named Orchid Garden can fit into two families. Because the eldest princess Zhaoming's family arrived first, the eldest princess of Fuchang's family naturally arrived later. On the second day, the eldest princess of Zhaoming took her family to the door to greet the eldest princess of Fuchang.
"Sister, it's here." The eldest princess of Zhaoming may be serious and dignified in front of others, but when she saw her sister Princess Fuchang Zhang, she was smiling, and the two sisters hugged each other when they met, and they were very affectionate. It was as if there were only two sisters present.
It was lunch time, and the two families were sitting together waiting for the food to be served.
The eldest princess of Fuchang hadn't seen Ying Shu for a long time, and she was very concerned: "Speaking of which, Sister Shu can still take a good rest after finishing the things in the palace. Now I see, after a while, how can you ask for a talented person or a salaryman? This is also the supreme honor. The eldest princess of Fuchang swallowed melon seeds, and suddenly her heart moved, so she pointed at Chengbi and said to Yingshu, "You two look at each other, this is also your brother and sister." ”
Ying Shu pretended to be playful and said: "Then I have to think about it, such a good big sister, for our younger brother, wouldn't it be a waste." ”
The eldest princess of Zhaoming also smiled, and there was a peaceful atmosphere in the palace.
As a few people talked, the meal was also served, and a large family gathered to eat together, naturally talking and laughing. After eating, the eldest princess of Zhaoming ordered: "You juniors go to be stubborn." I'll talk to your aunt. ”
A few juniors went down separately, and there were only two eldest princesses in the palace.
The eldest princess of Fuchang sighed: "Actually, I am always reluctant to come here, think about the past, when the mother concubine was still there. That's the hunting, that's the joy of the family. ”
The eldest princess of Zhaoming did not sigh, but her expression was a little lost in a trance: "Yes, now that we are all married, we don't have the feeling of being a child before." It's just that when people grow up, it's hard to be like before. ”
"But no, now that they have grown up and have their own children, they can be regarded as knowing how difficult it is for their mothers." The eldest princess of Fuchang let out a long sigh. "How did the partial scene become like this? It's obviously a father and son, but it's so ...... to Ah Yuan"
"Wait, if Wang Zhen doesn't get rid of it, we can't settle down. The mother concubine and the father have paid so much for Jing'er, but how do I feel that Jing'er is getting more and more deviated? "The eldest princess of Zhaoming said extremely calmly, but too calm brought an extremely heavy and oppressive atmosphere.
"Now that Changlan is hunting, why did you bring Sister Shu'er? If it is ......" Princess Fuchang frowned slightly, "I look at Sister Shu'er's child is very good, and I don't want to teach her to take risks." ”
The eldest princess of Zhaoming shook her head: "No, although the things of the year were very troublesome. But after so many years, Jing'er is not a person who has always indulged in the past. Moreover, if there is anything, Sister Shu will not be able to escape when she becomes a female official. And if you deliberately don't bring Sister Shu, it will be even more suspicious. ”
"Well, hopefully. It's just that I looked at Sister Shu and didn't know it. “
"It's good not to know, if you know too much, it's unnatural." The eldest princess of Zhaoming gently shook the fan in her hand, and a silk thread fell out at the end of the tassel of the white jade fan handle on the fan. The eldest princess twisted her jade fingers, and gently stuffed the silk thread into the gap in the incense burner, turning into smoke without noticing.
Ying Shu talked with Cheng Bi Cheng Qi at the door for a while, and congratulated Cheng Qi and Yu Wan on their marriage. Brother Chengqi was still very shy, and when he saw Ying Shu mentioning such a thing, he blushed again, but he couldn't say anything.
A few people laughed mischievously, and then they also dispersed. Shen Bin and Shen Bin were ordered to accompany the emperor to look around, so they walked to Changlan together. Ying Shu sent Jin Shi back to the yard by the way, and walked to her yard, but as soon as she entered the yard, she saw Brother Ke'er squatting at the door with a branch on the ground and drawing a painting.
Xiao Ke'er was so invested in playing, he didn't even notice that Yingshu was there, or Zhang's mother said it first, but Brother Ke'er reacted.
"Give...... Say hello to the eldest lady. But Brother Ke'er held a branch in his hand, and looked at Yingshu with a pair of eyes, but his actions were extremely restrained.
"Brother, what are you doing here? Can't you find your little lady's yard? Yingshu asked patiently.
"Back to ...... Back to the eldest lady, I ...... I'm ......" But my brother still spoke a little unfavorably, and he couldn't say it for a long time, but his eyes were looking around, as if he was searching for something.
"You're looking for your daddy?" Ying Shu continued to ask patiently.
Xiao Ke'er nodded instinctively, and then shook his head fiercely and denied: "No, no, no, I ...... I'm not. ”
"What's not?" Ying Shu squatted down and gently dusted the dust on his body for Brother Ke'er, "Brother Ke'er, you can rest assured." The big lady won't tell anyone. Look at you, you're covered in dust, so you can pay attention to it next time. ”
Brother Xiao Ke'er nodded a little confused, and then said stupidly: "I...... Can I tell the big lady? ”
Xiangli leaned over, took out a piece of sour plum candy from her arms, and handed it to Brother Ke'er: "Big brother, the eldest lady is the most gentle person." If you have anything to say, just tell our lady, our lady won't tell anyone, and the lady will help you. ”
But Brother took the candy ignorantly, looked at Xiangli with a smile on her face, Ying Shu looked sincere, and her precautionary demeanor has eased a lot now, "Big lady, I'm ...... My mother taught me to come and said she wanted me...... Want me...... Come to Daddy. My mother wanted me to say that I miss my father, and I wanted to ask my father to see what I wrote, and I ...... I...... I can already write my own name!" Speaking of the last sentence, Xiao Ke'er actually had some proud expressions on the surface, showing a child's smug smile, which has nothing to do with utilitarianism, but is from the bottom of his heart.
"Really? Brother is awesome! Ying Shu slowly took Ke Ge'er's hand and walked towards the inner hall with Ke Ge'er.
When she arrived at the inner hall, Ying Shu ordered Xiangli to wrap a plate of fish cake and give it to Brother Ke'er, and said to Brother Ke'er: "Brother Ke'er, didn't you like to eat the fish cake in my house last time?" Is it okay to give it to Brother Ke'er this time? The big lady has done a lot here! ”
But Brother looked at those fish cakes, swallowed his saliva, and nodded in agreement.
"Brother, you didn't see your father. Do you know what to tell your mother when you go back? Yingshu tried her best to show a gentle and loving attitude towards Ke Ge'er.
Brother Xiao Ke'er still shook his head.
"Well...... Big lady help you think about it! Let's just say, I didn't see my father, but I saw Uncle Dashan next to my father, Uncle Dashan gave you these flower cakes, and said that when Daddy comes back, Daddy will go to see you, okay! ”
"Uh-huh, okay." But my brother nodded in agreement.
"Big lady, I remember everything, I know." Ke Ge'er replied again.
"That's good, then go back. Do you want Aunt Xiangli to send you back? Yingshu asked.
"No, no." But Brother hurriedly waved his hand, and hurriedly ran out with those flower cakes, he walked to the door, suddenly looked back at Ying Shu, and smiled stupidly: "Thank you, lady." ”
Ying Shu's originally cold expression laughed again.
"Girl......" Apricot came over, "Thinking about it, Qi Ranran's mother and son are restless, such a young child, I know that I have come to help my mother compete for favor." ”
Ying Shu looked out of the door, remembering the appearance of Brother Ke'er smirking at herself, her heart suddenly warmed, and then returned to calm and cold, and just said lightly: "Who knows?" It's just that such a young child can't stop it. She picked up the fan in her hand and gently fanned the wind, trying to calm down her heart through the wind.
She asked herself that she had fulfilled the duties that a grandmother should have, and she was confident that she was one of the few very fair mothers in Pingjing City, and she did not treat her concubines like the mothers of many large families, but treated her concubines very well. I can't get close to my son, I can't do it no matter what, but it's not my fault.
Besides, this kid doesn't know whether he is innocent or scheming, and it's good to be able to accompany him with a smiling face. You can't ask yourself to do more, and others can't.
But such a young child should have no scheming.
"Xiangli, the person who serves Aunt Qi, apart from following her from the mansion, is there anyone else?"
