Chapter 256: Aunts Recognize Each Other
Lu Ying asked, "Do you want my sister to go back to the house for dinner today?" ”
Shi Wang has a civilian job, although he is leisurely, but he still insists on sticking to his position.
When Zhong Sili heard this, his eyes lit up and asked, "Is Princess Yuanping coming back for dinner today?" ”
Although she has been to the mansion many times, she has never seen Princess Yuanping herself.
As he spoke, Shi Wang came in from outside.
"Today, the teacher of Taixue complained to me again, Lu Ying, what did you do again?"
Shi Wang was about to ask Lu Ying for accountability, when suddenly, a petite body hugged her legs, and a clear voice came.
"Auntie, I've seen you!"
Shi Wang was slightly stunned: "What do you call me?" ”
Zhong Sili separated from her and said with a smile: "My mother's name is Yu Jin, this time I came to Xingdu, and she asked me to bring something for my aunt." ”
As he spoke, he took out the small wine jar that she carried every time she came here, but did not open it once: "This is the grass dew brew that my mother asked me to bring, saying that the wine outside is not authentic from my own, so I brought a basket!" ”
Shi Wang looked at the immature and clever child in front of him, but he looked similar to the young Yu Jin, but he still grabbed his throat, and he didn't know how to respond to her enthusiasm.
Her identity is known to the world, but in Zixi, she has long since severed her relationship with the past, and she has not met Keli's people again for more than ten years.
Now a child named her aunt suddenly appeared, how can she recognize her?
"Okay, it turns out that the relative you said in Zi Xi is Sister Wang, so why didn't you say it earlier?" Lu Ying shouted, "I think you are unfamiliar with life, and you are so good to you, but you hide such an important thing from me." ”
Zhong Sili smiled: "This matter should be kept secret, and it is also to give my aunt a surprise!" ”
"It's all a family, it's all good, it's all good, let's sit down and eat." Aunt Chun smiled.
Shi Wang's stiff body was pulled to the seat by Aunt Chun, completely forgetting what he was about to say.
During the banquet, Lu Ying and Zhong Sili laughed and made trouble, so lively, but Shi Wang was like a lost soul, stiffly pulling the rice, and without eating half a bowl, he said that he was full and left in a hurry, not staying longer, and he never said a word to Zhong Sili during the period.
"Brother Lu, doesn't my aunt like me?" Zhong Sili asked with a frown.
Lu Ying and Aunt Chun paused for a moment.
Lu Ying sighed: "Xiao Sili is so cute, no one will not like it, she is just a little difficult to adapt to for a while." ”
During the banquet, Lu Ying and Zhong Sili talked a lot, and although Shi Wang did not participate in the topic, he listened to everything they said.
I don't know if it's intentional or not, the words Lu Ying asked were all about Xiao Sili's mother.
Zhong Sili is the second child of Yu Jin and Zhong Jian, eight years old this year, with an older sister above and a younger brother below.
Because his uncle had no children under his knees, Zhong Sili volunteered to come to Zixun as a hostage.
My mother misses my aunt very much, but across thousands of mountains and rivers, I can only miss it.
This time she came to Hindu, and her mother told her to talk to her aunt more.
……
Yu Jin has changed, Shi Wang knows. I have changed, and Shi Wang also knows.
Everything is told, as if to make up for the lost time.
But after so much time and so many things, how can we go back to the way before?
In fact, Zhong Sili has been accustomed to hearing what her mother said about her aunt since she was a child, and she also saw her mother's expression when she told it, sometimes crying, sometimes laughing, and seemed to be very touched.
Zhong Sili, who grew up in the war, naturally knew the depth of the entanglements, but he still couldn't stop being very curious about this aunt who was rumored in the mouths of everyone.
Before leaving, many people told her that if she went to Zixian, she was afraid that it would be difficult to come back, but she was not afraid.
Riding in a bumpy carriage, she arrived in distant Hindu, and heard more rumors about her aunt, good and bad, Zhong Sili listened to them all, but she still felt that her aunt was not like any of them said.
When I saw my aunt for the first time, I felt that she was different from what others said, and there was something different from what I thought, but I still couldn't stop her from being full of joy.
Although Shi Wang left the house, Lu Ying still left the wine sent by Zhong Sili, after all, it is inconvenient to hold it in his hand all the time, and now that it has been delivered to the person who should send it, naturally there is no need to bother.
Lu Ying accompanied Zhong Sili and sent him back to the palace, comforting her along the way.
After all, he is still a child, although he is more mature than ordinary people, but he is still a child.
When he returned to the mansion, Lu Ying saw Shi Wang waiting for him in the mansion.
Naturally, there is something to be said.
Lu Ying followed her to the study, and the two were silent for a long time, and Shi Wang had not yet spoken.
Lu Ying was about to explain some words by herself, when Shi Wang asked again: "It's good for her to be alone in the palace, can she get used to living and eat well, but someone bullies her?" Taixue's side, you have to go and take care of some in a hurry, and so is the waiter's side. Don't snub her just because she's a foreigner. ”
Sure enough, I was still worried.
Lu Ying breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, but she was a little nervous.
She knew that Shi Wang would definitely not leave this person alone, and would definitely do everything for Xiao Sili, but how many pairs of eyes in the palace were staring at her, if she wanted to act, she was afraid that there would be many obstacles.
Although the war has stopped now, the sensitivity to all ethnic groups is still there.
Zhong Sili has not attracted attention at the moment, and it is not eye-catching, but if her relationship with Shi Wang is exposed, it will not be a good thing for both of them.
"I hope my sister can rest assured, I will arrange these matters for Xiao Sili. Don't come forward just yet. ”
Hearing this, Shi Wang was slightly stunned for a few seconds.
Yes, she can't come forward, and she doesn't dare to come forward.
This matter is not only about her, but also about Xiao Sili.
She is not afraid of being said, but Xiao Sili is under the fence, how can she talk about it with her.
Moreover, compared with other princes and princesses, Zhong Sili is the daughter of the prince of Heguo, and her position is shorter than others, so there is no other way than to protect her behind her back.
Fortunately, there is still Lu Ying in Taixue, who can help take care of her, otherwise with her current situation, I am afraid it will be difficult to take care of it.
"Hasn't Qi Ping come back yet?"
"It was said that there was still some finishing work to be done, and it would be delayed for a few more days. It should be back in less than a month. ”
Although the fighting on the front line is peaceful, there is still some work to be done to clean up the wreckage. Qi Ping was the one who was ordered to stay.
Unlike other armies who receive credit at the first time, Qi Ping is the one who stays last.
This may also be what Empress Dai meant, let him return later, so that he can stay away from the tide of rewards, which also invisibly weakens his merits.
is different from the rapid progress of the Wei family, Qi Ping is still such a person who does things quietly and does not ask for rewards.
But at the moment, there are many changes in the Empress Dai, I am afraid that there will be more waves in the DPRK and China, if Qi Ping can't rush back in time, there will be one less person who can be trusted.
"I hope it's in time."
