Chapter 293: Confrontation
Xiao Xuan got up earlier than usual today, knowing that she was going to go to the Zhenguo Mansion today and would not be in the mansion for most of the day, so the nurse hugged Brother Min over early in the morning.
Xiao Xuan fed Brother Min'er, so she asked the nurse to come forward and pick him up, and she also needed to quickly dress up and rush to the Zhenguo Mansion to take care of it. But Brother Min made trouble for a while, but he didn't allow the nurse to come forward to hug him, Xiao Xuan patiently coaxed him, so he could only let Suihong take him down. I was so busy changing my clothes that I didn't have time to eat breakfast.
The county lord of Duansu listened to Xiao Xuan's words, and hurriedly asked the maid to add an extra pair of dishes and chopsticks.
Xiao Xuan had just sat down for a while, and several waves of people had already come to look for the county lord.
"If my mother has something, she will deal with it first." Xiao Xuan said to the Duansu County Lord. "I'll feed Brother Bin'er first."
"It's okay, Brother Bin'er has eaten too." Lord Duansu fed the remaining bowls into Brother Bin'er's mouth, and put the dishes and chopsticks on the table. "Brother Bin'er is too young, don't let him go forward first, Sister Chu'er is not greedy yet, and she needs to bother the princess to call her up later."
"Well, mother rest assured. I'll take care of Brother Bin and Sister Chu here. Xiao Xuan was not in a hurry to eat, she got up and helped the county lord of Duansu to send her to the door. If there is anything I need ahead, my mother can send someone to call me. ”
"Okay, if there's anything going on, I'll have someone come back and invite the princess over." Their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking in front of the door, and someone was urging Duansu County Lord outside the courtyard gate. "I'm going to get over it."
"Well, Mother walks slowly."
Seeing the Duansu County Lord leave, Xiao Xuan returned to the table.
Brother Bin, who was sitting in his special small chair, was looking at it with his eyes, but when he saw her go and return, he smiled at her.
Brother Bin was a trouble-free child, and knowing that Xiao Xuan hadn't eaten yet, he obediently sat there with a toy and played by himself.
When Xiao Xuan finished breakfast, she didn't see Sister Chu coming.
"Brother Bin." Xiao Xuan got up and walked in front of Brother Bin, bent down and said to him. "Sister-in-law is going to call my sister to get up, do you want Brother Bin to come with me?"
Brother Bin tilted his head and looked at Xiao Xuan for a while, nodded his head, and stretched out his hand to Xiao Xuan to hug him.
Xiao Xuan took Brother Bin out of the chair, Brother Bin was much heavier than Brother Min, Xiao Xuan was quite heavy at first glance, seeing that she was holding Brother Bin a little hard, the maid who was waiting by Brother Bin'er on weekdays hurriedly stepped forward.
"Princess, the little master is a little heavy, why don't you hand it over to the slave maid to hold?"
"It's okay, I can keep it." Xiao Xuan shook his head and said. "You lead the way in front and take me to Sister Chu'er's room."
"Yes."
Xiao Xuan took Brother Bin to Sister Chu's room, and Sister Chu was really still hiding in the bed.
The maids beside her were surrounding her bedside and persuading her to hurry up and get up, when she heard the movement outside the door, she turned around and saw Xiao Xuan standing outside the door with Brother Bin'er, and they were just about to speak.
Xiao Xuan's fingertips touched a little between her lips, signaling them to silence and not speak.
Xiao Xuan slowed down his steps and slowly approached the house.
Seeing her coming, the maids who were originally around the bed hurriedly stepped back and made room for Xiao Xuan.
"Sister!" Brother Bin shouted happily, and struggled to pounce on the bed, Xiao Xuan simply put Brother Bin on Sister Chu.
Brother Bin sat on the soft quilt, and with a casual pull of his little hand, he ripped off the quilt that Sister Chu had covered her head.
"Who brought Brother Bin'er over to make trouble for me?" Sister Chu, who was sleeping soundly, was so troubled by Brother Bin'er that she was completely sleepy, so she had to honestly scoop Brother Bin'er into her arms, and asked a little angrily.
"It's me." Xiao Xuan said. "It's okay for you to be lazy on weekdays, but on a day like today, even if you are a niece in the next room, you don't need to go to the front hall to entertain guests, it's not good to stay in bed and sleep all the time, get up quickly."
Sister Chu'er was sleepy-eyed, and she didn't notice that the person standing next to her bed was actually Xiao Xuan, and after hearing her voice, her eyes widened suddenly, and she didn't dare to talk back, so she could only sit up with Brother Bin in her arms.
"Sister! Get up! Brother Bin clapped his little hands and shouted.
"You're a big girl, so you're not as sensible as Brother Bin." Although she is the niece in the next room, Sister Chu is also going to wear filial piety clothes today, and seeing that Xiao Xuan successfully called Sister Chu up, the maid immediately took the filial piety clothes that she had prepared last night. "Brother Bin'er got up early in the morning, are you embarrassed?"
"I know it's wrong, sister-in-law." Sister Chu admitted her mistake and hung her head.
"Okay, now that you're awake, get up and wash up." Xiao Xuan hugged Brother Bin again. "Get dressed and go to breakfast."
"Yes, got it." Sister Chu hurriedly got out of bed.
Today's Zhenguo Gong can be regarded as a court, although the deceased Zhenguo Gong's son is just an unsuccessful gentleman, he is also an age with children and grandchildren, but he has no court, except for the relatives of the Zhenguo Mansion, the old people will come to pay their respects, and not many people will come.
can't stand the Zhenguo Gong is still there, the Zhenguo Mansion still has Duan Chengwen, the Shangshu Lord, and Duan Shaolan, the concubine, sitting in the town, and there are still many people in the imperial capital who have come to the door one after another to pay their respects.
The prince of Zhenguo is also the queen's brother-in-law, and Xiao Jin, the queen of the queen's adopted son, also came in the afternoon. Xiao Jin got out of the carriage and collided with King Yi Xiao Jun outside the gate of the Zhenguo Mansion.
"Isn't this the sixth brother?" Xiao Jin saw Xiao Jun and greeted him with a smile. "After returning to the imperial capital from the sixth brother's disaster relief, I haven't been able to talk to the sixth brother for a while."
"I've seen the second brother." Xiao Jun knew that most of Yue Ying's affairs were plotted by Xiao Jin, and according to his temper, Xiao Jin naturally didn't have a good face, so he just greeted him coldly.
"Why is the sixth brother's face bad, is it because he is uncomfortable?" Xiao Jin looked at Xiao Jun's face condensed, he was in a good mood, and joked with a smile. "How could the sixth brother come to the Zhenguo Mansion today?"
"The second brother is really joking, the prince of Zhenguo has passed away, why did the second brother come over, I came here for."
"That's not what I said, the prince of Zhenguo is my uncle, how can I not come to give him a ride when my uncle dies."
"The queen mother is also my mother-in-law, if I saw the prince of Zhenguo in the past, I would also politely call my uncle." Xiao Jun gradually calmed down at this time, and was able to deal with Xiao Jin's intentional provocation calmly. "Besides, my sister-in-law is also from the Zhenguo Mansion, even if it is for Xuan'er, I should come over to take a look. If you want me to say, the second brother is talking more and more verbose now. ”
"You!" was said by Xiao Jun with a cold face, Xiao Jin was about to change his face.
"I've seen His Royal Highness King Yi, and I've seen King Jinjun." The two princes arrived outside the gate of the Zhenguo Mansion, but they didn't enter the door but had a verbal fight outside the mansion gate, and the people in the concierge had already gone in to deliver the message, Duan Chengwen couldn't leave, so Duan Shaolan hurriedly greeted him.
"Shaolan, mourning." Xiao Jun and Duan Shaolan have been friends for many years, and they should be extra familiar when they speak, and when they saw that he was the person who came out to greet him from the Zhenguo Mansion, they dumped Xiao Jin and talked to him. "What about Xuan'er, is she here too?"
"Thank you, Your Highness King Yi." In front of Xiao Jin, Duan Shaolan and Xiao Jun still followed the rules when they spoke. "The princess is here, but not ahead."
"Alright, then I'll go in first." Xiao Jun glanced back at Xiao Jin, and left.
"Shaolan." Seeing Xiao Jun leaving, Xiao Jin came over and said. "Where is my uncle's mourning hall, lead me there, and let me put incense on my uncle."
"Yes, please come with me."
Mrs. Zhenguo Gongshi leaned on the head of the bed, listening to the voices outside.
"Mother, why did you get up again?" At this time, Sister Meng'er, who walked in from outside with a medicine bowl, saw her reclining on the head of the bed, and hurriedly stepped forward in three steps and two steps to persuade her. "Doctor Shi said, you are sick and unhealed, and you are suddenly compassionate, but you have to stay in bed and recuperate."
"I've been lying down for a long time, but I feel a little tired, and you didn't come back with medicine?" In the past few months, Mrs. Zhenguo has also lost a lot of weight. "I have to sit up to drink medicine."
"Yes, mother, let's drink the medicine while it's hot." Sister Meng sighed lightly and sat down on the edge of the bed. "After drinking medicine, my mother must have a good rest, most of the things outside are taken care of by the county lord, and I will also go out to help one or two."
"By the way, what about Sister Yan?" Mrs. Zhenguo Gongshi drank all the bitter medicine in one gulp, and Sister Meng was just about to help her lie down and rest, but she couldn't help but ask.
"Sister Yan didn't want to sleep last night, and after a night of work in my father's mourning hall, I had a fever early this morning." Speaking of Sister Zhu, Sister Meng'er's eyes couldn't help but moisten. "I took her back to her room to rest. I asked Dr. Shi to go over and see it, and Dr. Shi said that it was just an occasional cold, and after drinking a few doses of medicine, he would be fine. Mother doesn't have to worry about my sister, I told my mother-in-law when I came out yesterday that I will stay in the house to take care of my mother and sister these days. ”
"What stupid things are you talking about, Sister Yan and I are surrounded by maids and grandmothers." Mrs. Zhenguo Gongzi knew that Sister Meng'er was having a difficult time in her mother-in-law's house, and she was afraid that Sister Meng'er would complain in front of her mother-in-law if she stayed in the Zhenguo Mansion for a long time. "You don't have to take care of us, go home."
"Mother doesn't have to worry, my mother-in-law has been very nice to me lately." Sister Meng hurriedly appeased Mrs. Zhenguo Shizi and said. "When I came back, if it wasn't for my mother-in-law's approval, I wouldn't have been able to come so timely."
"In the end, it's because the county lord is willing to stand up for you that your mother-in-law treats you better." Mrs. Zhenguo Gongshi knew this in her heart.
