Chapter 294: On the eve of entering the palace
Time flies, and tomorrow is the day when Xie Jingyin will enter the palace.
At that time, Xie Jingyin will sit in the small sedan chair that will be picked up in the palace, and from then on, he will no longer be called Xie Ayin, but Xie Meiren.
Zhai's mood has been up and down these days, and even Xie Jingyi went to Guan Huizhi's house to live for a while, but he only complained a few words and let it go.
The capital has been raining continuously recently, and when I get up early in the morning, I either break the plantain or break the willow, which makes people very melancholy. As for the fussy exemption law, only Xie Jingze will mention a few words when he comes back for dinner.
The rain was dripping, Xie Jingyi stood at the door and knew how to jump to his feet, the water on the clothes was flowing down one by one, the bangs in front of him were wet, and they were stuck on his head one by one, without looking in the mirror, Xie Jingyi knew that he was ugly now.
"Why is it raining so heavily in the capital, it is said that spring rain is more expensive than oil, which is inevitably too much, and the seedlings have not grown strong men, which will be washed away. Daddy doesn't know where it is now, whether it's raining or not. When did my brother come back. Is there anything new in the yashang? ”
Xie Jingyi said, took the hot handkerchief handed by the servant, wiped his hands and face, and chattered.
Xie Jingze was drinking the soup in small sips, although the weather was already warm, but it was raining, and if he didn't drink some hot soup to dispel the cold, he would easily fall ill.
"Chai Er is really powerful, this morning, he is fighting again. I was in the yamen, and I heard many people saying. said that those people were scolded speechless. That Yan Jue lost his conscience, and he was afraid that he would be exiled for 3,000 miles and never be used again. ”
"The exemption law is about to be tried in Kaifeng Prefecture, if it works, by the next year, our fellow villagers in Qingshan Village will be able to pay for exemption, which is a good thing. Although the official family is young, he is really a wise man with ideas. ”
Xie Jingyi was happy in his heart when he heard this, whether the official family is a Ming Jun or not needs to be judged by future generations, but he is indeed a very thoughtful person.
It's probably like a boiled red date, which is cotton on the outside, but there are bones hidden inside!
When Zhai Shi heard this, he immediately folded his hands happily, "This is really a great thing." It's been almost half a year since we left Hangzhou, and although there are letters, they all report good news and not bad news, and I don't know what happened to your uncle. ”
Zhai said, his eyes lit up, "Da Lang, you sent a letter to your uncle, saying that we have moved out of the Yongping Hou Mansion, and we are a single family, so we will come to the capital to play during the Chinese New Year this year." Your eldest brother and third cousin are all going to study, so it's good to come to the capital to open your eyes. ”
As he spoke, the whole family sat up at the table and officially began to have dinner.
"Okay, A-Niang, but it's still early for the New Year!" Xie Jingze said, first sandwiching a piece of meat for the Zhai family, and then sandwiching a piece for Song Guangxi.
Zhai Shi saw the meat and became lost again, "My son, this time I entered the palace, I won't be able to see it in the New Year's Festival in the future." ”
Xie Jingyin ate with a mouth full of oil, saw Zhai's eyes flashing, and saw that he was about to start crying again, so he hurriedly kicked Xie Jingyi.
Xie Jingyi reluctantly put down his chopsticks, "Auntie, don't cry, if you cry again, the Great Wall will fall, and the Yellow River will burst." If you cry again, when the big sister comes back tomorrow, I'm going to sue, look at how biased you are! The eldest sister is married, and in the future New Year, she will have to spend it at her in-law's house, and she won't see her? Two hearts! ”
Zhai's tears were angry with her, "Yes, yes, I can't come back if I'm distressed, just you, a stinky girl, I can't go out." ”
"No, you'll have to at least tie a golden broom to get on my noble ass and sweep me out!"
Zhai Shi was simply angry, "Return the golden broom, the golden mallet is still about the same, and beat you out of the door." ”
Xie Jingyi touched his chin and thought seriously, "It's not impossible, I estimate that the mallet is a few points heavier than a broom, A-Niang, you treat me so well, so generous!" ”
Everyone in the room smiled, and Zhai rubbed Xie Jingyi's head, "Leather monkey!" A-Niang can't say you! Hurry up and eat! ”
The family had a relaxed meal, sat down together, and ate tea, accompanied by the fried fish dumplings that were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
Xie Jingze took a sip of tea and glanced at Song Guangxi, Song Guangxi took out a brocade box from his arms, stood up, and handed it to Xie Jingyin, "This is the makeup that the eldest brother and sister-in-law gave you." Although it is said to enter the palace, in the eyes of the eldest brother and sister-in-law, tomorrow is the day when Ah Mei gets married. The eldest sister has it, and the second sister has to have it too. ”
Xie Jingyin opened it and saw that there was a white jade Guanyin inside, the white jade Guanyin was lifelike, and it was extraordinary at first glance. She hurriedly shook her head, "Our family has a thin background, and my brother's fortune is definitely not able to get such a good thing." ”
They had studied these with Mama Fang, although there were many things that they had not seen with their own eyes, but they could still distinguish which ones were good and which ones were not.
"Eldest brother, now that I am a sister, I am going to talk about you, my sister-in-law's dowry, that is my sister-in-law's dowry, which is used by my sister-in-law and mother-in-law, since she married you and gave birth to children for you, she should eat and drink and use yours, how can you give me your sister-in-law's dowry!"
Xie Jingze was stunned, it was the first time he saw such a strong Xie Jingyin.
In the past, at home, except for Xie Jingyi, who was a bully, the other three brothers and sisters were all very peaceful.
Song Guangxi smiled, "You misunderstood your eldest brother." A few days ago, he didn't know what luck he had hit, and he missed a painting of the true handiwork. My aunt is the best to paint, I have been grinding for a long time, and then I took this jade Guanyin and exchanged it with him. That painting, I plan to keep it for my aunt's birthday, and give her a congratulatory gift! ”
Xie Jingyin shook his head, "It is right for the son-in-law to give congratulatory gifts, and the sister-in-law should not get used to him." ”
Song Guangxi crossed his hands on his hips and said angrily, "Xie Jingyin, we also knew each other when we were children, so if you take it, you will keep it, otherwise you will enter the palace, today's birthday, tomorrow's birthday, what do you give as a gift!" ”
Xie Jingyi really couldn't stand it, and patted Xie Jingyin, "The love between husband and wife, you don't care what you do, your sister-in-law wants you to accept it, and you accept it." The Queen Mother is indeed going to have her birthday soon, and if you don't accept it now, we will have to entrust someone to bring you in. ”
Xie Jingyin was a little stunned, took the Guanyin, and rubbed it gently, "Thank you, brother and sister-in-law." ”
Xie Jingyi smiled, "Big brother and sister-in-law went to think of it together, second sister, I will also add makeup to you." ”
Xie Jingyi said, also called Honeysuckle took out a gift box, opened it, and there were three sets of head and face jewelry, from left to right, more and more luxurious.
"You can wear this set now; In this second set, you become one of the nine concubines, and then take it out and wear it; This third set, wait until the day, the people in the palace will call you a concubine, and you will take it out and wear it. ”
