Chapter 286: Ganye Temple (3)
Xia Zitang had heard Shao Yi say before that their mother and son would not go back after worshipping incense, and they would have lunch here.
Mrs. Jiang originally planned to go back after eating food in Ganye Temple, but now that Shao Yi asked, it was not easy to answer.
If the two families are eating in the temple, there are not many people, especially the Shao family, who only has a daughter from Shao's mother, so do you want to be together?
After eating, the two families who originally knew each other had to go back to the capital, did they still intend to stagger and walk separately?
Xia Zitang glanced at Shao's mother, who was sitting on the kang and talking to Xia Yanqing.
Although when the capital mentions Shao Yi, it will be mentioned that he has a mother who is a dancer.
But the mother Shao that Xia Zitang saw was just a middle-aged female dependant from an ordinary rich and noble family, dressed in a regular and middle-distance manner, and even simpler and more plain than the female dependents of other official eunuchs.
At this time, Shao's mother was talking to her little sister with a smile.
It seems that the tone is kind, quite elder-like, but it can be called, but it is a fourth aunt and grandmother, and it is obvious that she is careful.
Despite this, between Shao's mother's eyebrows, there was a joy that could not be concealed.
Xia Zitang sighed secretly in his heart, thinking that Shao Yi's mother must be very happy to see that her son can make friends with someone of the same status, and he will not despise him as a mother.
"We're going to have lunch this time, and we'll take a break before we come back. I don't know how Cheng'an arranged? If there is not much difference in time, we can go back to Beijing together. Xia Zitang said.
At most, he and his mother talked, but they just met and exchanged pleasantries, and walked together for a while. Shao Yi's mother and son are not the ones who don't know how to advance or retreat, they just want everyone to have a good fate.
Shao Yi was overjoyed when he heard it: "Okay, after lunch, when my aunt is resting, the fourth brother will send me a message, and we will set off together." ”
He glanced at his mother and Xia Yanqing again.
If they set off together, Mrs. Jiang and her mother always had to meet and say hello to each other.
His mother has been slandered by Prince Xiang and Princess Xiang for all these years, and it should be known that his mother has a low and kind personality, no matter which noble lady she compares with, she is not bad, and even much better than many noble ladies.
Shao Mu was already talking to Xia Yanqing quite speculatively.
After starting to say a few words, Shao's mother was not like others, and when they met, they praised her for her ability to run and make money. Instead, she used the two sets of interstitial screens she had, and vigorously praised her beauty and atmosphere.
This makes Xia Yanqing much more comfortable, although she is indeed very good at making money, and she is also willing to have the ability to make money. But it feels very insecure to be stared at by others all the time.
She remembered what she was doing when she came to Ganye Temple, not to listen to how Shao's mother praised her, but to make Shao's mother more confident.
From what we met just now, it can be seen that although Shao's mother has lived by the side of a prince for several years and is quite favored, she has not developed a pampered and proud mood. has been cautious.,It does seem that there is some inferiority complex.。
"Auntie, you're praising the wrong person. Well, the interstitial screen, the glass is specially made, the painting is also specially asked to be painted, and there are other polishing craftsmen, I can't do anything. ”
Xia Yanqing smiled and continued: "It's Young Master Shao, who is hearty and straightforward, and righteous, so he must have been taught well by your aunt." ”
Xia Zitang listened to it over there, and when he heard these words, he couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth. How sorry is it to be able to use such words to settle on Shao Yi?
Shao Yi listened to it beautifully.
Shao's mother also widened her eyes in surprise: "Cheng, Cheng'an, Cheng'an is indeed a good boy." ”
She did think her son was a good one. It's just that, according to these years, as long as the capital talks about the gentlemen, she will unanimously recommend her son, and she is really embarrassed to use a lot of beautiful words on her son in front of outsiders.
Xia Zitang raised his eyebrows at Shao Yi, gave him a disdainful look without concealment, and said in a low voice: "Listen, even your mother can't tell you what advantages you have, tell me, how bad is your character?" ”
He couldn't admit this, Shao Yi immediately returned the same disdainful look.
My daughter-in-law has already said that he has a hearty and straightforward personality and is righteous, can what his daughter-in-law say wrong?
It seems that his uncle's ear voice is really not very good, and if he is looking for an opportunity, he should find a doctor to take the pulse and condition his body.
Xia Yanqing didn't see the lawsuit they fought, and only smiled and talked to Shao's mother: "Yes, when Yanqing first started doing business, thanks to Shao Gongzi and my fourth brother, they had a similar temperament and helped take care of it, so that the business could be done." If it weren't for Shao Gongzi, let alone glass interstitials, I'm afraid that the glass workshop would not be able to operate at all. ”
After speaking, Xia Yanqing put aside these unnutritious mutual praises and talked about topics that women of all ages are interested in: "What does aunt do every day?" I see that your clothes and jewelry are very well matched, and you can wear them elegantly without being overly ostentatious. Aunt must have a lot of taste and insight in these matters, can you tell Yanqing about it? ”
It's just a topic, but it's not a hype.
Shao's mother was dressed in a dark lotus lotus collared jacket, the material was only in the middle and top, inlaid with dark brown trim, and ironed flat and flat. There are no dark lines or twig patterns like other women's relatives on the clothing.
Probably because Shao's mother has the background of a dancer, although she is now old, her posture is still elegant and flexible, and she wears clothes that are much simpler than those of other women's relatives and wears a different charm.
In addition, Shao's mother's hair bun and jewelry are very simple, and the most common hair bun for middle-aged women is only wearing a peony hairpin inlaid with gold and jade, and a green jade bracelet wrapped with gold on her wrist.
This dress is very in line with Xia Yanqing's clothing habits.
She has been here for a long time, and until now she can't stand the dress of a wealthy woman, and almost wants to open a jewelry shop on her head.
In view of the eternal hobby of women, the topic provoked by Xia Yanqing was very interesting to Shao's mother.
She is widowed at home, and she has such a background, so in terms of dress, she tries to be as simple as possible.
It's just out of a woman's nature, in this simplicity, try to look comfortable and pleasing to the eye.
In this regard, Shao Mu is quite confident. Even when Prince Xiang was still there, whether it was clothing or jewelry, she could choose at will, Prince Xiang often praised her, which was both soft and beautiful, but also fresh and elegant.
Starting from this topic, Shao Mu and Xia Yanqing, who are two generations, immediately have a common language.
Next, from their favorite clothing and embroidery patterns, to the matching effect of hair buns and jewelry, under the similar aesthetic views and intentional mutual accommodation of the two people, they happily reached a consensus.
The atmosphere was absolutely joyful.
Shao Yi and Xia Zitang stopped talking, and looked at the two of them with great interest, and the more they talked, the more speculative they became. And the two of them seemed to have suddenly lost their intelligence, and they couldn't understand what they were saying.
