Chapter 69: The Golden House Hides Jiao
During her recuperation, Hongying came to visit Zhiwei once, and she hurried after getting the news from other girls who had gone home on vacation.
Although the two had a bit of an unpleasant quarrel when they separated, Hongying felt that Zhiwei was too rational, even a little ruthless, and didn't understand her girl's heart that was just beginning to open, Zhiwei also felt that Hongying was too emotional and unrealistic, and didn't take her daughter's family's reputation seriously......
However, when we meet again, no one will mention those things, and the atmosphere is generally harmonious.
Hongying saw that Zhiwei lived in a more gorgeous house than before, and she could still call slaves and maids, and the conjecture of "the palace concubine ran with the ball" came up again, causing Zhiwei to blush.
Unlike in the past, she swore and denied it, but now she is a little weak-hearted!
However, when Hongying told her that Mr. Jia had entered the Xinwang Mansion as a staff member in the past few days, Zhiwei was even more worried about Hongying.
In particular, Hongying also said that before Mr. Jia moved into the Xinwang Mansion, in the days when she was recuperating in the village, she and her family took turns to deliver rice and decoction, and Mr. Jia said many words of gratitude to her, and even taught her to read a few poems.
Looking at Hongying's excited appearance, Zhi Wei hesitated: "Although the staff can't enter the court, they can also do some practical things, and Mr. Jia can be regarded as getting his wish." It's just that you're ......."
Hongying was unconscious, happy and worried.
"Yes, Mr. has finally survived to the day when he can get ahead. The only bad thing is that it takes two and a half hours to walk to the city at home, and I haven't seen my husband in a few days. However, the day before yesterday, my father and I went into the city and happened to meet him outside the bookstore. He was much better dressed than before, but he was still just as kind to us, and invited us to the palace for refreshments. I also saw the prince, but I only saw the back of the head......"
Zhiwei sighed silently, hesitated, and said it directly.
"I mean, Mr. Jia is not ordinary now. I believe that the prince values him so much, maybe, one day the prince will say a good family thing for him! ”
Hong Ying's expression froze, and she immediately argued.
It's just that, until the end, neither of the two girls could convince anyone.
One said that she believed that her husband was interested in her and would not be Chen Shimei, and the other said that Mr. Jia didn't even give her a word of accuracy, and it was not worth being her stupid.
In the end, Hong Ying jumped up in anger, swore that she would go into the city now to ask him face to face, and then the two of them looked at the faint sky outside and smiled helplessly.
When leaving, Jiang Xue politely asked Wenzhu to send Hongying out, and happened to bump into Xiaoling on the way.
What impressed Hongying was that not long after she left Zhuangzi, this Xiaoling actually seemed to be a different person.
Although they are still wearing ordinary cloth clothes, the colors, accessories and other collocations look much more harmonious and pleasing to the eye than before.
After saying a few words, Hongying was even more surprised, almost thinking that Xiao Ling had been borrowed from the corpse like in the script, otherwise, how could she speak much more organized than before?
Hongying left in wonder, but Xiaoling still talked to Wenzhu with a proper smile, and the two didn't break up until they walked near Heshanju.
When Wenzhu entered, the sky was getting dark, and Xiaoling's smile finally disappeared.
She is so kind to Wenzhu, and she is even more attentive to Jiangxue.
Although Jiang Xue is three years younger than Xiao Ling, Xiao Ling smiled so kindly in front of her, and she was busy and busy, and also provided all kinds of down-to-earth intimate guidance, which greatly improved the convenience of Jiang Xue's work here.
One day, it was Xiaoling's turn to go home on vacation to visit relatives, and when she returned to Zhuangzi, she brought a lot of her own bacon, cakes and other snacks back to give away. From the steward to the little sisters, they were all divided, and of course the palace maids whose identities were vaguely above everyone on the side of Heshanju were also divided, and they still had the most weight.
When Zhiwei was pushed out of the yard by Jiangxue to bask in the sun, she happened to see this scene.
She was amazed in her heart, after all, she had been in Zhuangzi for two months, and she had never seen Xiao Ling so bold, nor had she ever asked for any benefits in Xiao Ling's hands.
What makes her even more strange is that since she came to Beijing once when she returned to Beijing, Xiaoling's attitude towards her seems to have changed a little, and she is not as kind as before. However, now her smile on Chong Zhiwei can be described as very enthusiastic, which makes her overwhelmed for a while.
When Jiang Xue first met Xiaoling, she naturally didn't know about these small things as big as sesame mung beans, so she only smiled and said, "Sister Xiaoling is a warm-hearted person."
Zhi Wei smiled and said nothing, but the smile was a bitter smile.
She thought, Xiao Ling must be the same as the steward and others, because her treatment has risen, maybe everyone below is rumoring that she will enter the palace to be a mother one day, and it is normal to be so flattering.
After experiencing the initial shock and worry, Zhiwei rarely lived a period of clean and leisurely life without being disturbed, and her mind slowly calmed down.
Although she was suspicious, she did not dare to be sure, and His Majesty did not say anything.
Therefore, there is no need for her to worry about things that may not happen at all every day, and she is just sad and meaningless when she doesn't get her head.
Since His Majesty was gracious enough to let her, a little slave, enjoy high-level recuperation treatment, she would let it go. At most, after taking care of her body, she will work hard to make a few more trips to the palace of the ladies for His Majesty, and help him eavesdrop on the palace fighting plans of the ladies a few times.
Even if Her Majesty is really interested in her......
Every time she thought of this possibility, Zhiwei couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat and didn't want to continue thinking about it.
"It must not be. Even if it really has a little bit of meaning, I guess I'll forget about it in a few days, right? ”
This was the question she thought about the most during her recuperation, so much so that the frequent problem of cold hands and feet and cold sweat on her forehead was caught by Jiang Xue, and she complained to the old doctor about how his prescription did not work, so angry that the latter muttered a lot behind her back.
"I don't like the old and decrepit medical skills, why don't you go to the imperial doctor? If it weren't for the consultation fee, the old man wouldn't want to travel so far to see a subordinate! ”
These words were muttered by the old doctor alone when he went out, Jiang Xue naturally couldn't hear it, and Zhiwei didn't know it at first, but later she heard a laurel tree when she went out for a walk.
Zhi Wei never mentioned this to anyone, not that she felt that she was so important that she had to sue if she was offended, and then wait for someone to support her and punish the old man who looked down on people.
She was just afraid that Jiang Xue would really report to her if she heard that, and it would be too eye-catching.
Zhi Wei didn't think how the duplicitous style of the old doctor's concern on his face and contempt in private made her disdainful, but she was just vaguely resentful.
Among the folk langs who are a little famous like him, isn't it still a cloth cloth? It's really strange to pick out whether the identity of the patient is noble or not!
But, unexpectedly, it didn't take long for Jiang Xue to take the initiative to "dismiss" the doctor.
The reason is also very simple, Zhiwei's wind chill has not been completely better, although the fever has subsided before, but a few days later, I accidentally started to have a low-grade fever again, and the condition has come and gone, and there is no way to recuperate. In this case, the sick suffer, and the caregiver is tired.
At this moment, Xiao Ling suddenly offered a folk remedy for treating wind and cold, which was actually quite effective after trying it.
In addition to being happy, Jiang Xue couldn't help but start questioning the level of that Langzhong, and simply changed to another medical hall sitting in Langzhong, and used it together with the home remedies, which was a combination of prevention and treatment.
Seeing Zhi Wei's face slowly improve, Jiang Xue's favorability towards Xiaoling was even higher. Among the three palace maids who happened to follow, one of them unfortunately also contracted the wind and cold, and was moved out of the river and mountain residence, unable to work, so Xiaoling made up for this shortage.
Although Zhi Wei was a little suspicious, she didn't notice anything wrong.
In addition, since Xiaoling lived in Heshan Residence, she has also kept her duty, she has worked more diligently and neatly than before, and she has become much more measured in her words and deeds, and she gets along well with Jiangxue and others, and she is not always blindly flattering and flattering, not like she wants something else, so Zhiwei gradually let down her guard.
Xiao Ling breathed a sigh of relief, but she didn't dare to slack off.
The person who reminded her said that what she wanted to do, she must first gain Zhiwei's trust, and now is the time to strike while the iron is hot!
So, when General Song Xiao came to the legendary royal palace, Xiao Ling was following the established plan to curry favor in front of Jiang Xue.
Of course, the rhetoric is that she is short-sighted and vulgar, and she is very envious of the girls who come out of the palace to talk elegantly and knowledgeably, and want to get close to them and learn something.
Jiang Xue also taught Xiaoling some simple etiquette, especially the reception of guests.
Someone happened to come to the door, and Xiaoling was taken over by her for an "internship".
Of course, Song Zhige had long known that his twin sister was on an errand in the palace, and he remembered the reason for "selling himself" clearly, all because he was sick at the time and his family had no money for treatment, and his nine-year-old sister made such a big sacrifice.
He took the imperial examination for ten years, and went to the capital to participate in the spring festival at a young age, rather than going out for a few years before taking the exam, as his teacher suggested.
He wants high school and wants to be an official, but not for himself.
One is to glorify the lintel for my father and mother, and the other is to help my sister get out of the fate of serving people all day long. Even if it doesn't work, it's always okay to meet up and ask for news.
It's a pity that the arrangement of fate always catches people off guard.
Half a year ago, the high-spirited young man couldn't have imagined that he would suffer that catastrophe in the spring, and then he couldn't imagine that he didn't have access to the Golden Palace, and now he has actually become a general!
What made him even more incomprehensible was that the emperor saw that he insisted on rewarding him, and actually took the initiative to mention the little sister, and allowed the two of them to meet.
Song Zhige stood at the gate of the courtyard, all kinds of speculations flashed in his heart, cold sweat was dripping on his forehead, and he felt even more frightened and frightened than when he learned that he was disfigured!
"Little sister shouldn't be hidden here by His Majesty's Golden House, right?"
He racked his brains to recall the big and small new things in the court that he heard Xiao Huang say after returning to Beijing, but except for His Majesty's joy in early August, at most His Majesty's recent love to go out of the palace to play and rest in the courtyard, the others are all court matters.
For example, the huge budget for water conservancy fortifications in the south of the Yangtze River caused disputes, and the marquis of Qingping and other nobles generously donated money to share the worries of the imperial court, and the head of the household department lost face.
For another example, King Xin killed several corrupt officials in Shaanxi and Gansu provinces without authorization, and many people in the court were impeached, so that King Xin hid outside the city for half a month and did not dare to return to the palace, but His Majesty still tried his best to ensure that he returned to the court.
Another example is the selection of the new governor of South Vietnam, the future management plan of the Shan Barbarian territory, and the establishment of the army......
Song Zhige said secretly: "It should be that I think too much, right?" Although they have only met twice, His Majesty seems to be a young and promising emperor with great courage. How could such a person be easily deceived by beauty and do such a stupid thing to hide people in another courtyard? There is no shortage of that room in the palace......"
When he was introduced by Jiang Xue and the others, Song Zhige quickly looked at the grass and trees and everyone in the courtyard with a calm and anxious gaze.
He soon realized that Jiang Xue was the first person in the palace, because the palace maids seemed to have a unique way of walking.
Song Zhige thought: "Maybe the little sister and this girl were transferred to work together on an errand, not that Your Majesty often goes out of the palace, but also to facilitate your Majesty's daily life......"
Then, he was taken to the gate of the courtyard of the Heshan Residence, and saw a young woman basking in the sun on a chaise longue, her face was slightly pale and haggard, but her facial features were very similar to those of her mother.
Song Zhige looked at the two girls dressed as subordinates standing next to Zhi Wei, and then looked at the clothes on Zhi Wei's body.
He sighed deeply.
