Chapter 440: Snow Swallow
"Your Highness, the two slaves and maids can't be masters in this matter." Xun Shuang and Wen Xue sighed in their hearts, still smiling and talking to Yuan Jin.
They know Yan Qingge very well, and she will never give this embroidered image away - at least not now!
Maybe in the future, Yan Qingge will take this embroidered scroll as a dowry for his daughter, and maybe he will pass it on to his son as an heirloom, but he will definitely not give it to Yuan Jin now, asking him to be the prince's birthday gift.
Because Yan Qingge said that she will never be able to embroider the same level of embroidery in this life. Its preciousness lies in its uniqueness, and it also carries the struggles and pains of Yan Qingge during that time, and nothing can be exchanged for it.
"Why? Doesn't my aunt run an embroidery workshop, and the embroidered things are meant to be sold. I won't take it for nothing, I'm sure I'll get paid. I promise that my father will definitely like this gift, and when the time comes, he will reward the Yanwang Mansion with a lot of things, and my aunt will definitely not lose. ”
Yuan Jin's words made Xunshuang and Wenxue look at each other.
How should they explain it to Yuan Jin?
Xunshuang smiled, and suddenly asked: "Your Highness, you now call our eldest lady Niangniang, I remember that you didn't call her that before, didn't you?" ”
"What's so strange about this, others ask me to call my mother my aunt." Yuan Jin said nonchalantly.
Yuan Jin finished answering, and the parrot brother outside walked in and said, "Hurry up and clean up, Niangniang will be back soon." Then he saw Yuan Jin and hurriedly saluted: "The slave didn't see His Royal Highness!" ”
Yuan Jin wanted the embroidered scroll wholeheartedly, and when she heard that Yan Qingge was back, her heart was full of joy: "Auntie came back just in time." ”
About half an hour later, Yan Qingge led the two mothers-in-law back, with a faint look of exhaustion on his face.
A few maids stepped forward to greet him, and Yan Qingge waved his hand and said, "No need, give me a sip of hot water, you go and do your own work." That's right? How is Aman doing today? ”
"Young Master Aman is very good, he doesn't cry or make trouble. At noon, when Miss Wan'er was eating egg custard, she fed Young Master Aman a spoonful, and Young Master Aman ate very happily, and his stomach was not uncomfortable. "Hurry up and report it.
Aman's body is as strong as a calf, not to mention the strength, digestion is good, it's only seven months, he dislikes drinking milk and tasteless, he is not honest when he sees others eating, waving his little paws to want, now Yan Qingge doesn't dare to hold him to him when he eats, looking at his pitiful gluttony, he really can't help but feel distressed to give him food.
"Hmmm! I know! Yan Qingge rubbed his eyebrows and felt a headache.
She went to visit the eldest princess of Roufu today, not only told Yuan Jin about it, but also discussed what to do after Yan Qingge's embroidery workshop reopened.
The eldest princess of Roufu said that the embroidery workshop should have made something for Yuan Jin, and let him toss, and the Yanwang Mansion should not interfere.
The embroidery girls recruited by Yan Qingge at the beginning were gone, and after the store door was closed, all the goods were taken back, and now there is nothing important in it, only the house is left, and there is nothing reluctant to do.
Yan Qingge also agreed, but it was actually more difficult to do so.
Because Yan Qingge is not as big as the eldest princess of Roufu, she always feels frightened when she puts a child at home to look at the storefront, no matter how uncomfortable it is.
About the eldest princess of Roufu, she also saw that Yan Qingge couldn't accept it, so she left her for lunch, and persuaded her intentionally or unintentionally. The effect basically didn't work, but she did her best, which is the style that Eldest Princess Roufu has always had.
At this moment, Yan Qingge found that Yuan Jin was also standing in the room, and she was stunned: "Your Highness is here, why didn't anyone tell me." ”
Xunshuang and Wenxue immediately confessed, but looking at their small actions, Yan Qingge understood that these two must have something to report to her, and they still have something to do with Yuan Jin.
Yuan Jin was really a little apprehensive when she saw Yan Qingge because of yesterday's incident, and she endured the matter of asking for embroidery rolls.
When he and Yan Qingge's bright eyes like frost and snow met, the shame in his heart skyrocketed, and for a while, his mind was all about what he did after he was drunk yesterday, and he squirmed his lips and held back a sentence: "Auntie, Sumire is here to admit her mistake, and Sumire will never dare again." ”
After finishing speaking, Yuan Jin turned around and left, panicking, as if someone was picking him up.
Yan Qingge saw that Yuan Jin came strangely and left strangely, so he simply told irrelevant people to retreat, leaving only Xunshuang and Xue Xue.
"Tell me, what's going on?" Yan Qingge asked.
"Niangniang, when His Royal Highness the Emperor Grandson came just now, he saw the embroidery scroll you embroidered last year, and he wanted to ask for it to be made into a screen and make it a birthday gift for the Prince, but the two slaves and maids did not agree, and His Royal Highness the Emperor Grandson said that he would ask you personally." Ask about the slopes.
Xunshuang followed and asked Xue, and repeated what the prince said word for word.
"How did he see that?" When Yan Qingge heard the word prince, he wanted to get angry.
"The weather is good today, I asked Xue Yan to take out the things to dry, and I heard Xue Yan and His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun talking at the door, and then His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun came in with something. I think it was Xue Yan who met His Royal Highness when she was collecting things. ”
Yan Qingge frowned lightly and said, "You guys have done a good job, don't think I won't give it away." ”
Xunshuang looked at Yan Qingge with some concern, and said: "Later, the two slaves and maids were afraid that His Highness would keep worrying about this matter, so they asked a lot, why did His Highness call the eldest lady you an aunt." His Royal Highness said that this is what he was taught in the palace. The slave maid thought, will His Highness want your embroidered scroll, it is also taught. The people around His Highness, do you have to check it? ”
The people who served by Yuan Jin's side were basically the aunts and eunuchs he brought out of the palace, but there were also a few who were added by the Yanwang Mansion.
Xunshuang is a subtle reminder to Yan Qingge that it is best to place some people by Yuan Jin's side, so as not to have any difficult control when the time comes.
Yan Qingge raised his eyebrows and smiled, his voice was full of exhaustion and mockery: "Who else can teach?" ”
I heard that after Yuan Jin returned to the palace, he was treated like an eyeball by the prince, every day like a jewel, he taught in person, ate and slept together, and the teacher who taught him to study was the prince's confidant, and he was also a great Confucian in the court, and he personally arranged the homework for reading, and even what clothes to wear had to be seen by the prince...... These rumors must be true!
Otherwise, how could he be a child, how could he inexplicably think that the prince would like the embroidery scrolls embroidered by Yan Qingge himself, and how could he inexplicably call Yan Qingge his aunt! It's not all like this because of the prince's subtlety.
In fact, as early as when Yuan Jin came this time, he opened his mouth and called Aunt Yan Qingge very naturally, Yan Qingge felt bad in his heart.
In the past, Yuan Jin used to call her mother.
And if you really want to shout about seniority, get closer to the relationship, from the eldest princess of Roufu, Yan Qingge is her aunt's *** generation, but from the green boy, Yuan Jin should rise a few generations, and become her younger brother like the green boy.
Although the generations between the royal family and the nobles have long been messy because of the marriage, no matter how the Yanwang Mansion is arranged, Yan Qingge will not become Yuan Jin's aunt.
is called so, the only one who can get some benefits is the crown prince, in this way, he is Yan Qingge's peer.
The anger in Yan Qingge's heart suddenly burst out, and he called Xunshuang and Wenxue to go down. If it was before today, she would definitely call Yuan Jin and teach him that it was wrong to do so, and she would tell him the reason sincerely.
But the words of the eldest princess of Roufu were still in her ears in the morning, and she hesitated for a while.
In dealing with the relationship related to the royal family, she is far inferior to the eldest princess of Roufu. The eldest princess of Roufu is so easy, although she looks very cold, but the result of the matter proves that she is doing the right thing, is it necessary to do it in the right way now?
Some things are too difficult to choose, Yan Qingge sat in the house, and before he knew it, it was dusk.
Xunshuang walked in anxiously, kowtowed to Yan Qingge, and said, "Niangniang, Xueyan has thrown herself into the well." ”
"What's wrong with Snow Swallow?" Yan Qingge couldn't believe his ears.
Because of Danhe's affairs, Xue Yan and Brother Parrot were demoted to second-class maids by her, but in fact, before they were degraded, the two of them didn't serve much in front of Yan Qingge. The derogatory thing was damaging to their faces, and Xue Yan and Brother Parrot had no light on their faces and suffered a lot of blows.
Snow Swallow, in particular, has become less milky than before, as if it has grown a lot overnight.
Yan Qingge Xueyan has changed, and the steady Xueyan is obviously easier to use than before. She also thought about it, when Xunshuang and Wenxue got married, if Xueyan was good in the past few years, she could just be transferred to take over Xunshuang and Wenxue's classes.
"It was Brother Parrot who found out that something was wrong. Brother Parrot said that Xue Yan was crying in the house in the afternoon, but she persuaded but didn't persuade her, and she didn't ask what happened. Then when she was doing her work just now, a little girl said that Xueyan had gone out. She thought it was not good, so she hurriedly led people to look around, and only then did she fish Xue Yan up from a remote waste well in the north. ”
"How's she doing?" Yan Qingge's heart was in a mess.
"It's gone." Finding frost is also embarrassing.
In the past, when she was in the Yan family, Yan Qingge's Qingxing Garden also had a girl as big as Xue Yan, Yan Qingge never had to serve or do heavy work with such a small person, at most she only let them run errands and pass the word, that is, she was only sent to the gate to guard the door when she was thirteen years old.
But when she came to Yanwang's Mansion, she heard that the girl here began to serve people at the earliest age of six. Xue Yan seems to have been valued by her master very early because she was born well, and she was promoted to a first-class maid when Yan Qingge married in, serving her in front and back, and Xue Yan was only eight years old at that time.
Xunshuang lamented in her heart, maybe it was so early that Xueyan's personality became so introverted and sensitive, and she couldn't withstand a little stimulation, right?
Because of Xue Yan's matter, Yan Qingge's yard is now in chaos.
The parrot brother who has the best relationship with Xueyan has been crying so much that he can't do it, and the rest of the maids who are good friends with Xueyan are also tearful.
She is looking for her own death, and she is an unmarried daughter, in the eyes of the customs of the Great Zhou, this kind of death is very unlucky, so after her body is fished up, it is impossible to transport it back to the courtyard where Yan Qingge lives.
But the mama who examined the injury came to report that Xueyan's body was clean, with no scars and no violation. Because it was found in time, the body was also very fresh, not blistered, and it could be seen that there were traces of crying around the eyes.
Therefore, Xue Yan should have suffered some grievances before she thought of committing suicide. Yan Qingge called the maids of the entire courtyard to prepare for the trial of what was going on.
