Chapter 31 Accidents
Zhao Shilang, who was in a good mood last night by Aunt Zheng, listened to Aunt Zheng's soft words early in the morning, and simply asked the little maid to go to the courtyard of the main house to say that he would not go over for breakfast, and ordered someone to take out his official mansion and send it to Aunt Zheng's courtyard.
He wanted to go directly to the court after having breakfast in Aunt Zheng's yard.
When Mrs. Jimuro heard the news, she was so angry that she smashed another lampstand.
I think back then, when she first got married, she was at the age of youth and good color, and she and Zhao Shilang had a few good times with Qin Se and Ming. But less than two years later, she gave birth one after another, and her mother-in-law was worried that no one would serve her son's daily life, so she specially selected three maids from the house who were outstanding, literate and hyphenated, and gave them to Zhao Shilang as an aunt.
Zhao Shilang half-pushed and half-accepted the three aunts on the spot, she was getting older and had some wear and tear when she gave birth to children, so her appearance was naturally not as good as when she first entered the door. The three aunts have been favored for a period of time, but only Aunt Zheng has always been standing.
Fortunately, she took precautions in advance, and when the three aunts came to give the first concubine room tea to the housewife, she let people do something in the concubine room tea. All three aunts were injured and never had a single pregnancy.
The mother-in-law disliked her and only gave birth to a son and a daughter, and saw that none of the aunts had good news for many years, so over the years, five or six more aunts have been accepted to Zhao Shilang.
At this time, her son and daughter had grown up, and she didn't bother to do anything about the concubine anymore. But who knew that a few years later, those aunts still didn't move, and she was happy to be quiet.
Zhao Shilang has not been in her yard for a few days, and she hopes that Sister Ying can bring her younger siblings. But her sudden estrangement and indifference in her early years have made Sister Ying lose her respect for her. She mentioned it tactfully to Sister Ying'er, and Sister Ying only brought it over vaguely.
She could only think of a way to invite Zhao Shilang to her yard, and wanted to talk to Sister Ying through Zhao Shilang, a father. But she didn't expect that she complained to Zhao Shilang last night, and Zhao Shilang was unwilling to give a word. The meaning in and out of the words was to blame her for offending Sister Ying'er, and after speaking, she went straight to Aunt Zheng's yard.
But she is angry, and today the eldest princess of Yongshou will send a carriage to pick up Sister Ying'er to live in the house temporarily. She could only endure her dissatisfaction with Zhao Shilang, and sent the gift that Zhang Luo had asked Sister Ying to take to the mansion of the eldest princess of Yongshou last night to Sister Ying'er's courtyard.
"I've seen my mother." Hearing the maid's report that Madame was coming, Sister Ying immediately went to the door of the room to greet her.
"Sister Ying, here are some gifts I have prepared for you." The step-lady took Sister Ying'er's hand and said lovingly. "You go and stay for a few days, and when you want to go home, send someone back to your house to deliver the letter, and your mother will send someone to pick you up."
"yes, I see."
The step-lady was talking with Sister Ying'er, and someone came to report that the carriage of the eldest princess of Yongshou was coming.
She took Sister Ying'er's hand all the way and sent her to the outside of the mansion.
"Cousin Ying." The groom of the eldest princess of Yongshou took a stool from the back of the carriage, and when the maid was about to help Sister Ying get into the carriage, suddenly the door curtain of the carriage was lifted from the inside, and a head came out of it.
"Oops." Sister Ying was so frightened that she crooked her body and almost fell off the stool, but fortunately, the maid on the side helped her firmly and stabilized Sister Ying'er's body in time, and Sister Ying recognized the person in the carriage. "Second princess? Why did His Highness come out alone? ”
"It's me, I sneaked into the carriage and followed." When Xiao Xuan got up early and walked around the mansion, when she was dangling to the back door, she saw that the subordinates in the mansion were preparing to go to Zhao Shilang's mansion to pick up people's carriages. "I've been out of the palace and stayed at my grandmother's house for a few days, and my grandmother doesn't allow my cousins to take me out to play."
"The princess has a noble status, and the eldest princess of Yongshou does not allow the princess to go out to play at will for the good of the princess." Sister Ying said helplessly.
"Sister Ying, is this Her Royal Highness the Second Princess?" The step-lady was really startled when she saw the head suddenly sticking out of the carriage, and when she looked at it, she saw clearly that it was an eight- or nine-year-old girl who was born very good-looking, and heard Sister Ying call the girl the second princess, she hurriedly came forward and asked earnestly.
"Yes, Mother."
"The courtiers greet the second princess." The step-lady looked at Her Royal Highness the precious princess in front of her, and hurriedly walked a few steps forward to say goodbye.
"Get up." Xiao Xuan lowered her voice and said to the stepwife. "Cousin Ying, let's go quickly, when the people in my grandmother's house find out that I am not in the house, they should look for me." Let's take a stroll outside before they come in. ”
"Mother, I'll go first with the princess." Sister Ying boarded the carriage and turned her head to the step-lady and said.
"Okay, you are older than the princess, and you will have to take good care of the princess along the way."
The carriage left Zhao Shilang's mansion, and Xiao Xuan asked the carriage to go around Chang'an Street, the most prosperous street in the imperial capital.
I don't know when Her Royal Highness the princess climbed into the carriage, but the groom found that the princess was almost frightened on his carriage, and he didn't want to take the golden princess to Chang'an Street again, so he had to drive the carriage back to the mansion of the eldest princess of Yongshou immediately.
"Hey, don't be afraid." Xiao Xuan finally came out for a trip, where would he like to just sit in the carriage and go back. "I'll take a look at Chang'an Avenue just to see, and I will never get off the carriage. When I get home, I'll go to my grandmother and explain that I got into your carriage. ”
Xiao Xuan said a lot of bad things, and even persuaded the groom in fright, and the carriage finally turned around and headed towards Chang'an Street.
Chang'an Avenue is lined with shops and is the most prosperous commercial area in the imperial capital. Big shops and small shops, juggling and peddling abound. Xiao Xuan lay on the side of the carriage, lifted the corner of the curtain on one side, and looked at it with relish.
"Hey, hey, hey." Xiao Xuan didn't know what he saw, and suddenly called out. "Stop, stop, stop."
Along the way, he was worried about the groom, and suddenly heard Xiao Xuan's call and thought something was wrong, so he immediately tightened the reins and stopped the carriage. Because of the rush to stop, the people in the car almost fell over.
As a result, the carriage that followed did not expect the carriage in front of it to stop suddenly, and it crashed straight into it before it could dodge. The carriage behind it also looked like the carriage of the noble family, and it seemed that there were also women and children sitting in it, and after a while, the cry of a girl was heard inside.
"Oh no, it looks like someone hit me in the carriage behind." Sister Ying sighed and said. "The second princess will sit down for a while, and I will take someone down to see the situation."
"Cousin Ying." Xiao Xuan herself really didn't expect that her sudden stop would cause such a result, and she instructed Sister Ying with a little uneasiness. "Don't go down yet, let your maid ask who is behind you?"
Xiao Xuan listened to the girl in the carriage behind her crying heartbreakingly, for fear that Sister Ying would be scolded when she went out.
"It's okay, if you want to come over there, there should be a woman in the car." Sister Ying comforted Xiao Xuan and said with a smile. "You wait for me to come and ask."
Xiao Xuan didn't expect that the carriage behind him was sitting on the Duansu County Lord and Sister Chu, and today the Duansu County Lord was going back to the Xian Wang's Mansion with Sister Chu.
Sister Chu is now detained in the mansion to learn the rules, so it is rare for the county lord to take her out of the mansion today, and she refuses to sit down for a while. Before they could be in a good mood, the carriage in front of them suddenly stopped, and the carriage they were riding in couldn't avoid it and crashed into it.
Sister Chu didn't stand firm for a while, and before the county lord of Duansu could reach out to hug her, she hit the wall of the carriage firmly.
Hearing only the sound of 'bang', Sister Chu took two steps back and sat on the ground. She covered her head ignorantly and looked at the Duansu County Lord, who was just about to open her mouth to ask, but she realized the pain in hindsight, covered her forehead and cried loudly.
"Sister Chu, don't cry." The county lord of Duansu hugged Sister Chu distressedly and hurriedly persuaded her. "Show your forehead to your mother."
"Mother, it hurts!" Sister Chu was born pampered, how can she stand this, while crying, she pointed to her forehead with her short finger of flesh whirring and said. "My head hurts."
"Alright, alright, you take your hands off first." Sister Chu wanted to be obedient in the mansion, and it was rare for her to cry like this, and the county lord of Duansu was distressed when she saw her crying.
Lord Duansu first carefully removed Sister Chu'er's hand and carefully examined Sister Chu'er's forehead. Fortunately, Sister Chu'er didn't find any wounds on her forehead, just a little red and swollen.
"County Lord, County Lord." The maid who had just gotten out of the car to see the situation came back and said in the carriage. "The slave looked at the ornaments on the carriage in front of her, as if they were from the mansion of the eldest princess of Yongshou."
"May I ask who is in the car, I am the person in the car in front of me." At this time, Sister Ying came over with her own maid. "I seem to hear crying in the car, is there someone in your car who is hurt?"
The county lord of Duansu listened to the voice of a girl talking outside, but how could there be such a young girl in the mansion of the eldest princess of Yongshou?
"We are the ladies of the second room of the Zhenguo Mansion." The county lord of Duansu was puzzled, but when he heard the outsiders speak thoughtfully and politely, he responded loudly. "My little daughter accidentally hit her head, but it was fine."
And Xiao Xuan, who was lying on the wall of the carriage and listening to the conversation outside, only came to her senses when she heard the carriage behind her say that she was the lady of the second room of the Zhenguo Mansion.
Sister Ying was talking to the owner of the carriage behind, but saw Xiao Xuan, who was hiding in the carriage, running down.
"Are the people in the carriage Aunt Duansu and Sister Chu?" Xiao Xuan asked.
"Your Highness?" The county lord of Duansu heard Xiao Xuan's voice, and quickly got up and asked the maid to open the curtain, and then he saw that the person standing outside was indeed Xiao Xuan.
