Chapter 60: Teaching
Xu Jieyu was timid, Empress Dowager Xu lost her temper, and she was so frightened that she collapsed directly to the ground: "Auntie, I also want to give birth to a little son, but how can I give birth to it alone, the king ...... It's been a long time since I entered Qianyang Palace. ”
"If the king doesn't enter the Qianyang Palace, you will go and invite the king! He's your cousin, can he still save your face? ”
Xu Jieyu snorted: "I, I can't do it......"
"Manqing!" Empress Dowager Xu pulled Xu Jieyu up, "You are a child I have watched grow up since I was a child, with a kind and supple temperament, and your cousin is completely different from each other." When I asked you to enter the palace, I just thought that with me and your cousin in the palace, you can have a smooth ride, give birth to a little son, and hold it to your cousin, and our Xu family will be able to get up again. ”
Xu Jieyu lowered her eyes: "I disappointed my aunt and cousin." ”
Empress Dowager Xu sighed: "Your cousin's life is not good, she has followed the king for so many years, and she only has left a good one." Their Sun family was unlucky, and the flying wing general was paralyzed at a young age, and now he has no descendants. If it weren't for the fact that Dingguo Gong still had some weight in the court, and they married the Qi family, they would have fallen long ago. But no matter how the Sun family falls, it is now higher than the Xu family. ”
Xu Jieyu's face turned red: "Auntie, it was my brother and I who made the Xu family ashamed." ”
"You don't always want to take everything on yourself. Although your brother is not a martial artist, he has done his duty for so many years and has not caused any trouble. Our Xu family has shown a defeated appearance, it has nothing to do with your brother, it is all fate. But Manqing, whether the Xu family can get up or not depends on you! ”
Empress Dowager Xu grabbed Xu Jieyu's hand, and she was so frightened that she was trembling.
"I looked at it coldly, among my grandchildren, only the fourth child is worthy of the big responsibility, but he has a soft temperament and does not let the king like it. Man Qing, you take advantage of your youth to give birth to a few sons for the king. When the time comes, I'll bring it to you, and make sure that they are all pleasing to their temperament. You and the king are cousins, and when the king sets up the East Palace, he must first pick up your sons. When your son becomes the king, our Xu family will be able to rise. ”
Xu Manqing was infected by Empress Dowager Xu's emotions, and her eyes also flashed with a fanatical longing: "Auntie, what can I do to make the king like me?" ”
"Come here, I'll talk to you in detail."
Empress Dowager Xu and Xu Jieyu bit their ears, Xiao Yuan couldn't hear anything, so they left the house with no interest, and saw the ninth princess Xiao Yuan looking at the sky with her hands behind her back.
She tiptoed over and jumped behind Xiao Yuan's wife, startling Xiao Yuan's sister-in-law: "Tenth sister, you're going to scare me to death." ”
Xiao Yuan laughed: "Sister Jiu, what are you looking at, so distracted? ”
She followed Xiao Yuan's line of sight and could only see a boxy sky, because it was almost evening, and the red glow had begun to dissipate and turn into a gray-purple patch.
"I'm wondering, is the sky outside this palace the same as the sky inside the palace?"
"It's the same sky, of course. Ninth sister, you don't want to learn from Lin Daiyu at a young age, I know you want to see a wider sky, you can go to the Star Tower to see. Otherwise, go to Qihai Pavilion to see the sunset, which is also very beautiful. ”
Xiao Yuanwen was puzzled: "Who is Lin Daiyu?" ”
Xiao Yuan hurriedly smiled: "No one." Ninth sister, if my father really allowed the ladies to go out of the palace to save their relatives, would the ninth sister follow Xu Jieyu back to the Xu family? ”
Xiao Yuanwen shook her head: "My aunt is used to being cautious, even if her father really allows her to go back to her parents' house, she will most likely not return to thank her." ”
Besides, what are you going to do when you go back?
Uncle Jing Guogong has no real power, he only lives on the foundation of his ancestors, and his family lives tightly, and he has to keep buying calligraphy and paintings.
Aunt Yan is cowardly and timid, and she doesn't dare to speak loudly, and her uncle flies over with a cold eye, and her aunt's eyes are going to be red.
If she goes back with her mother, her uncle will definitely cry poor in front of her mother, and her mother will definitely think of saving money and send the money she has saved to her uncle.
Xiao Yuan's wife didn't know what the point of going back was to such an uncle's house. It's better to nest in Qianyang Palace with Xu Jieyu, although you can't go out to have fun, but no one comes to disturb you, so it's good to be quiet and comfortable.
Xiao Yuan patted Xiao Yuan's hand and said, "It's okay if you don't go back." I was going to leave the palace and go to my grandfather's house. When the time comes, my grandmother will be lonely in the palace alone. Sister Jiu, you can accompany your grandmother every day to relieve her boredom. Grandmother likes you, and she can eat an extra bowl of rice when she sees you. ”
Xiao Yuanwen smiled obediently: "Grandmother prefers you as the tenth sister." ”
Hearing someone in the room, Xiao Yuan winked at Xiao Yuan's sister-in-law: "Ninth sister, we are still children, don't worry about everything, when we are older, there will naturally be a lot of worries waiting for us." Now, if you can enjoy it for a day, you can enjoy it for a day. ”
No matter what others do, Xiao Yuan has made up his mind to live his carefree childhood all over again.
Therefore, on the second day, she pestered the Empress Dowager Xu, saying that she wanted to leave the palace.
Empress Dowager Xu was originally preparing to send Xiao Yuan to the Dingguo Mansion on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, but she couldn't stand Xiao Yuan's obsession, so she had to order someone to pack Xiao Yuan's luggage, and before dinner, she sent this little grinding spirit to the Dingguo Mansion.
The Dingguo Mansion took over the grinding spirit, but it was full of joy.
Jing Yuanjun Xu also ordered the people in the house to add a few more dishes.
The family was waiting for Sun Chang, the Duke of Dingguo, to come back for dinner, but Sun Chang sent someone to spread the word, saying that he had something to discuss with Duke Qi in the evening, so he would not come back.
Xu Shi complained in a low voice: "I don't know what I'm busy with day and night, I haven't come back for dinner for a few days, I see, he just grew up in Qi's house." ”
Xiao Yuan asked curiously, "Grandmother, has your grandfather been discussing with Gong Qi every day these days?" ”
"It's not, I don't know what the matter is, I have been discussing it for several days, but I haven't come up with a result."
"Mother, it's hard to get out of the palace, what are you doing with her." Sun Chi put a piece of fish meat into Xiao Yuan's good bowl, "Ah Hao, you taste it, this is the fish I caught, and your uncle and mother cooked it themselves." ”
Xiao Yuan's eyes lit up: "Uncle, are you going out today?" ”
Sun Chi looked much more cheerful than a while ago: "I've been out fishing for the past few days, Ming'er, I'll take you there." ”
Xiao Yuanhao suddenly cheered: "In addition to fishing, I also want to go to the temple fair!" ”
She had already heard Su Su say that the Yujing Dragon Boat Festival was very lively, and a temple fair would be held for three days in a row, and everything was sold at the temple fair. When she left the palace this time, most of her came to the Dragon Boat Festival temple fair.
Sun Chi said with a smile: "What's so interesting about the temple fair, so a bunch of people are crowded around, and there are children who lose every year." ”
Xiao Yuan is good so that he will not be frightened: "I don't care, I just want to go." ”
While eating, she fiddled with the little rabbit made by Sun Chi in her hand, and said casually: "I'm not a child, maybe I can still earn money when I go to the temple fair." ”
Sun Chi teased her: "What kind of silver do you earn as a child?" Do you know how many copper plates are for a tael of silver? Can you count them? ”
Xiao Yuanhao's eyes widened suddenly, this uncle is really not a good thing, bullying children!
She slapped the rabbit in her hand on the table: "I'll sell the rabbit you made!" ”
