Chapter 5
Bai Bai Ochre asked, "Then why did Yan'er come here by herself, and there was no maid by her side?"
Sheng Xiyan smiled innocently, "I came out with Sister Ru'er, and I asked Yuxiu to go back with her." ”
During the day, Ochre smiled and said, "It's the little girl next to you." ”
Sheng Xiyan said honestly, "Mmmmmm, it's her." ”
Bai Yingyin coughed and interrupted, "Third brother, it's not too early now, otherwise let Yan'er go back first, and the rest of the province won't find her." ”
Bai Bai Zhen nodded, "Yes, the rest of the province is worried, otherwise my brother will send you back." ”
Sheng Xiyan shook his head and said, "Don't bother the two brothers, I'd better go back by myself, goodbye, goodbye." With that, he ran back.
During the day, ochre and white Makuin were a little helpless. This little girl is well-behaved and sensible for a while, and eccentric for a while, which is really unpredictable.
After Sheng Xiyan returned to the Imperial Garden, Qin Ru'er hurried up and asked, "Sister, where have you been?" Why did you delay for so long, Yuxiu and I almost went out to find you. ”
Sheng Xiyan touched Qin Ru'er's hand, "It's okay, I just met two acquaintances outside, so I stopped to chat." ”
Yuxiu glanced at her master with a little suspicion, but did not speak.
Sheng Xiyan secretly shook his head at Yuxiu.
Qin Ru'er said with a little embarrassment, "Thank you sister just now, No, it's osmanthus candy, which was specially made for me by my grandmother, but it's delicious." "There was a piece of yellow candy in his little white hand.
Yuxiu originally wanted to stop it, but Sheng Xiyan quickly picked it up, took a bite, and praised "The candy is so sweet." ”
Qin Ru'er raised her head proudly, "That's not it, the things my grandmother makes have always been delicious, and this is a specialty of her hometown." ”
Sheng Xiyan smiled and stopped talking.
At this time, a little girl in a pink skirt walked by, smiling like a flower, "My name is Pei Shu, what are your names?
Qin Ru'er smiled and said innocently, "Of course, my name is Qin Ru'er, this is my sister, and her name is Sheng Xiyan." ”
Sheng Xiyan nodded and said with a smile, "Hello, my name is Sheng Xiyan." ”
Pei Shu touched his head and said, "I'm eight years old this year, how old are you?"
Qin Ruer said, "I am also eight years old, but I was born late, I was born in Layue, but Sister Sheng is nine years old, and we all have to call her sister." ”
Pei Shu called out obediently, "Sister Sheng, why haven't you seen Sister Sheng and Sister Ru'er before?"
Sheng Xiyan smiled and said, "I don't usually like to move around, and neither does Ru'er." ”
Pei Shu suddenly realized and said, "Now that we know each other, my sister has to come and walk around often." ”
Sheng Xiyan just smiled and didn't answer her.
Ru'er hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, I hope my sister won't be annoyed." ”
Pei Shu looked at Sheng Xiyan with a pitiful face, "What about Sister Sheng, Sister Sheng also has to come to see me often." ”
Sheng Xiyan glanced up at her, "If my father lets me, then I will naturally go to see you." ”
Pei Shu's face froze.
Sheng Xiyan smiled secretly in his heart, a person will not fall in the same place twice, last time you took advantage of me, this time I have to get the field back.
This Pei Shu is ostensibly her friend, but in fact he is just to follow her to make some profits. Since she has gained benefits, she should be an honest person, but she still says bad things about her pampering and arrogance behind her back, which is intolerable. In the end, Pei Shu also entered the palace and became one of the many concubines who were ochre during the day, and I heard that he was finally rectified by Liyang.
Pei Shu smiled reluctantly, "Sister Sheng said this, if you want to come, who can stop you?"
Sheng Xiyan smiled, didn't speak, and took Qin Ru'er's hand, "Sister Ru'er and I still have something to say, so we won't accompany us, please bear with me." ”
Pei Shu smiled, "Even so, that Shu'er is rude." ”
Sheng Xiyan nodded.
Qin Ru'er asked puzzledly, "Sister, why do you want to get rid of her, one more person, even if it's just talking." ”
Sheng Xiyan shook her head, "I don't like her, there is a calculation in her eyes when I look at her, which annoys me." ”
Qin Ru'er nodded as if she didn't understand.
Sure enough, no one came to look for the two of them until the banquet was over, but they ended up clean.
After the banquet, Sheng Xiyan originally planned to go out, but was stopped by Father-in-law Le, "Miss Sheng, Miss Sheng, slow down." ”
Sheng Xiyan turned around, "I don't know what else is going on with Grandpa Bu?"
Father-in-law Le looked at Qin Ru'er, and the meaning was self-evident.
Sheng Xiyan looked at Qin Ru'er, "Ru'er, I still have some things, otherwise you should go first." ”
Qin Ru'er hurriedly agreed, "Then I'll go first, and my sister should go home quickly, Uncle Sheng of the province is worried." ”
Sheng Xiyan: "Okay, next time you want to come to play with me." ”
Qin Ru'er nodded vigorously.
Sheng Xiyan called, "Yuxiu, send Miss Qin for me." ”
Yuxiu: "Yes. ”
Sheng Xiyan asked, "I don't know what happened to my father-in-law?"
Father-in-law Le hurriedly replied, "It's Concubine Rong, who heard that Miss Sheng has entered the palace, and specially ordered the servants to summon Miss Sheng to come over for a gathering. ”
Sheng Xiyan smiled, "Concubine Rong is polite, I also miss Concubine Rong very much, Concubine Rong has been fine recently." ”
"Concubine Rong is in good health, but she misses her family a little, so she specially asked the slave to call Miss. Grandpa Yue said with a smile.
Concubine Rong's full name is Sheng Anrong, she is Sheng Ziming's cousin and Sheng Xiyan's cousin, and she is not close to Sheng Xiyan, but she has borrowed Sheng Ziming's momentum and has always been quite favored.
Coming to summon her today, it was something that she didn't have in the previous life, Sheng Xiyan was a little curious, what could this Concubine Rong do to find herself.
Shangzai is a luxurious woman, with ice muscles and jade skin, goose egg face, willow eyebrows, and a cherry-like mouth, she is really a beauty, and the years have not left too many traces on her, but the wrinkles on her forehead are faintly visible.
"Concubine Rong is auspicious. Sheng Xiyan saluted in a proper manner.
"Yan'er hasn't seen you for a few years, why did you break up with your aunt, come on, come on, hurry up and let my aunt take a good look at you." Sheng Anrong hurriedly helped Sheng Xiyan up.
Sheng Xiyan smiled shyly, "Where are the years, I haven't seen my aunt for many years, and Yan'er has almost forgotten what her aunt looks like." ”
Sheng Anrong's face stiffened, and he hurriedly smiled and said, "Yan'er, what you said, where can you put your aunt's old face?" ”
Sheng Xiyan raised her little face, "Yan'er is just telling the truth." ”
Concubine Rong covered her mouth with her sleeve and coughed, "Yan'er, I heard that your father is dealing with Jiangnan's case." ”
Sheng Xiyan already knew in her heart that this Concubine Rong wanted to investigate the case in Jiangnan by herself, and then invite the old emperor to favor.
Sheng Xiyan looked at her innocently, "What is the Jiangnan case?" Yan'er doesn't know, I only know that my father has been living in the barracks, and I just came home in the past few days, and I don't know what case my father is dealing with. ”
Seeing that Concubine Rong couldn't say anything, she hurriedly brought over a plate of snacks. smiled and said, "Yan'er, try this snack, this is just developed by the imperial dining room, I taste it is also extremely delicious, I heard that you are going to enter the palace, so I specially left it for you." ”
Sheng Xiyan picked up a piece, tasted it, and nodded, "It's really delicious, thank you Niangniang." ”
Concubine Rong smiled and said, "How can Yan'er be so polite to my aunt, just call my aunt, what kind of lady is it." ”
Sheng Xiyan put down the piece of dim sum, "Niangniang is Niangniang, this will not change." ”
Concubine Rong sighed in her heart, thinking that this little girl was afraid that she had seen something, and then thought about it, but what scheming can a nine-year-old girl have?
Sheng Xiyan is really mentioning her, no matter what happens, Sheng Ziming will not fall in the court for a day, and her concubine will not fall, if Sheng Ziming is not there for a day, who will buy her Sheng Anrong's account, the old emperor is not a person who thinks about old love. She can even throw her own son when she says she can throw it, let alone a little concubine.
Concubine Rong hurriedly took a sip of tea to hide the expression on her face, and after a while, she said, "Yan'er, how is your father doing lately?"
Since Sheng Xiyan seemed to have something to think, she hurriedly smiled and said, "Daddy has been in good health recently, and if Lao Niangniang is concerned, I will definitely tell Daddy." ”
Concubine Rong smiled a little reluctantly, "Come, Yan'er, eat more snacks." ”
Sheng Xiyan stood up, "No, Niangniang, it's a little late now, Yan'er has to go home early, and the provincial brother and father are worried." ”
Concubine Rong also stood up, "Yan'er is leaving, Su Xin, bring some snacks to Yan'er, and then take out some jewelry from the warehouse, especially the pair of purple jade bracelets, and wrap them for Yan'er." ”
Sheng Xiyan refused, "No, Niangniang, my maid is not around, and I can't take it back to the house." ”
Concubine Rong pulled Lasheng Xiyan's hand, "It's okay, I'll let Gonggong Yue mention the carriage for you, you just need to go back to the house with peace of mind, otherwise let my brother know, and blame me for being too stingy." ”
Sheng Xi Yan was blessed, "Then Yan'er was disrespectful." ”
"Miss, have you heard? The lord has just brought a new aunt. I heard that this new aunt is beautiful, better than Aunt Lin, and the slave really wants to go and see it. Yuxiu held her chin and said curiously.
Sheng Xiyan shook her head helplessly and poked her head, "No matter how beautiful you are, you can't be more beautiful than your young lady." ”
Yu Xiu stomped her feet angrily, "Miss, how can a girl boast of her beauty, not to mention that your beauty and the new aunt are not a kind of beauty, Miss is more like a cloud in the sky, and the new aunt is more like a flower on the ground." ”
Sheng Xiyan took a deep breath, "Yuxiu, how can you be so good at sycophants now? ”
Yuxiu stuck out her tongue, "The slave is just telling the truth, but I heard it from the people below." ”
Sheng Xiyan said helplessly, "Don't listen to the people below chewing their tongues, you don't know if you offend people." ”
Yuxiu shook Sheng Xiyan's sleeve, "There is a young lady, who dares to do anything to me, even if it is the old master and the young master, they don't dare to touch me." ”
Sheng Xi poked her head angrily, "You are so open-mouthed every day, if you are listened to by someone next to you one day, what do you have to do?"
Yuxiu complained, "Miss, don't keep poking me in the head, I'll be stupid." ”
Sheng Xiyan smiled, "You've reached the upper limit, you can't be more stupid, so put your heart back in your stomach." ”
Yu Xiu gritted her teeth angrily, "Miss." ”
After a while, Yuxiu came over again, "Miss, let's go and see what the bride looks like." ”
Sheng Xiyan took the book casually and read, "I'm not interested, I don't want to go." ”
Yuxiu begged, "But the slave maid is interested, so you can accompany the slave maid to see it once." ”
Sheng Xiyan was entangled by this dead girl, so she had no choice but to respond repeatedly, "Okay, okay, I'll accompany you to have a look, okay?"
Yuxiu nodded her head wildly, "I know that Miss loves me the most, my good miss." ”
Sheng Xiyan touched Yuxiu's head like a puppy, "As long as you are obedient, whatever you do, Miss will accompany you." ”
Sheng Xiyan threw the book in his hand and ordered, "Ah Xiu, why don't you hurry up and prepare some gifts, let's go visit the new aunt." ”
Yuxiu touched her head and said, "Miss thinks what kind of gift should be prepared is appropriate." ”
Sheng Xiyan said casually, "You can do anything, don't be too expensive, she can't stand it." ”
Yuxiu thought for a while and said, "A pair of jade earrings, a new plum hairpin, a pair of jade bracelets, a jade Ruyi, two cloud brocades, and a gift to Guanyin." ”
Sheng Xiyan rolled her eyes, "What do you mean by sending Guanyin? Daddy will not have a child with this new aunt, and sending it will only be ironic." ”
Yuxiu blinked her innocent eyes and asked, "Why? ”
Sheng Xiyan slapped her on the head, "Do you want your young lady to fall out of favor so much?"
Yuxiu felt that something was not right, so she hurriedly patted her ass, "No matter how many children come, it will not replace Miss's position in the master's heart." After a moment, she asked, "If you don't send Guanyin, what will you send?"
Sheng Xiyan said indifferently, "I feel that Concubine Rong's purple jade bracelet is very good, and it is very suitable for giving away." ”
Yuxiu swallowed her saliva and said, "Miss, that was given by Concubine Rong." ”
Sheng Xiyan smiled and said, "It's just a little palace concubine who relies on my father to take the throne, and with her means, she really embarrasses my Sheng family, and I am willing to give away what she gave, that is for me to give her face." ”
Yuxiu nodded as if she didn't understand.
When she arrived at the gate of the new aunt's courtyard, Sheng Xiyan looked up at the plaque - Wuhua Courtyard.
At this time, Aunt Qi was walking out, and when she saw Sheng Xiyan, she immediately saluted, "Miss Wanfu." ”
Sheng Ziming is famous for spoiling her daughter, and these aunts must be respectful to the eldest lady, otherwise, Sheng Ziming will not pity the jade.
Sheng Xiyan flattened Aunt Qi and asked casually, "Jing Niang, this is also here to see the new aunt." ”
Aunt Qi hurriedly replied, "Exactly, exactly." This new aunt is too bad at doing things, she didn't go to see the eldest lady, and even asked the eldest lady to come to her, which really ate the bear's heart and leopard gall. ”
Sheng Xiyan smiled and said, "It's okay, after all, my aunt is also half my elder, come and see her, and it is also appropriate to be familiar." ”
Aunt Qi didn't dare to refute, and hurriedly said, "What Miss said is true, what Miss said is true." ”
Sheng Xiyan stroked her hair and said, "If it's okay, Aunt Qi can go down, Miss Ben still wants to see the appearance of the new aunt, so she won't accompany her." ”
Aunt Qi hurriedly said, "Don't dare to bother Miss, the slave will go down." ”
Sheng Xiyan hummed softly.
"Aunt Min, Miss is here. Gui Xiangyu reported.
Aunt Min got up from the couch lazily, pulled her hair, and said charmingly, "Why are there still people visiting, the general didn't let me go last night, I'm still very sore all over, no, I don't want to see any more guests." ”
Guixiang persuaded, "After all, it's the eldest lady, you better go out and receive it." ”
Aunt Min said unhappily, "Is the eldest lady your master, or am I your master?" How can you talk to the eldest lady everywhere, I said let the eldest lady wait is waiting, how can you interject. ”
Guixiang silently retreated, went to the living room and said to Sheng Xiyan, "Miss, our aunt hasn't freshened up yet, you can wait a while." ”
Sheng Xiyan took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "What's the matter, if you are free to receive Aunt Qi, you will not be free to receive me, when will I, the eldest lady, be so worthless." ”
Guixiang knelt down and said, "I beg the eldest lady to forgive me, my aunt is really inconvenient, please wait for a while." ”
Sheng Xiyan took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "Are you sure you can persuade your aunt?Guixiang, you are also an old man in the house, there are some things I don't have to say You also understand, this new aunt and me are more important, you have to count a little bit in your heart, you also know, my eldest lady has always been rude and impatient, don't let me wait, if I am in a hurry, I can do anything." ”
Guixiang wiped the cold sweat on her head, and said continuously, "Yes, eldest lady, the slave understands what you mean." ”
Sheng Xiyan played with the teacup in his hand and sneered, "You know what I mean." ”
Suddenly, Sheng Xiyan asked, "Guixiang, where does this new aunt come from?"
Guixiang lowered her head, "The slave doesn't know." ”
Sheng Xiyan put down the teacup and said with a smile, "I can guess if you don't say it, this kind of cultivation and self-awareness, it is estimated that it is not a Qinglou woman, it is a drama, my father has always liked to hunt for curiosity, Guixiang, you said that this new aunt can please my father for a few days, this has to be thought about by you." A slave must find the right master in order to be safe, prosperous and rich. ”
Guixiang said, "Thank you for the mention, Guixiang is grateful." ”
Sheng Xiyan smiled and didn't speak again.
After Guixiang left, Yuxiu said with a little guilt, "Miss, it's all my fault, if it weren't for me having to come to see my new aunt, you wouldn't have almost had a conflict with her." ”
Sheng Xiyan smiled and said comfortingly, "Such a woman who doesn't know what to do, it's only a matter of time before I have a conflict with her, your role is just to advance the process, don't take it to heart." ”
Yuxiu nodded, and after a while, Yuxiu hesitated and said, "Miss, if the new aunt is disrespectful to you in a while, can the slave and maid do it directly?"
Sheng Xiyan smiled helplessly, "Of course you can, it doesn't matter if it's broken or not, I don't believe it yet, what will my father do to me for an aunt, and now if any of the aunts in the house don't see me taking a detour, I still don't believe in you." ”
Yuxiu agreed and said, "Yes, the master is the most favored miss, no matter how bad it is, there is still a young master, the young master is the heir in our house." ”
Sheng Xiyan rubbed Yuxiu's head, "Then what else do you have to feel guilty about? ”
