Gong You's wife, Jiang, is in her early forties, a tall and plump middle-aged woman with still charm. However, although the charm still exists, Jiang's age is much older than Gong You.

Gong You has no children, only three daughters, the eldest daughter and the second daughter have been out of the cabinet. The Jiang family took Gong You's youngest daughter Gong Miao to live in the back office, and the mother and daughter took care of Mrs. Gong together.

Xiao Xiao and Gong You discussed what to do next in the class room.

Qin Yining took rock candy and Jiyun to follow the Jiang family into the back office.

"The princess is really hard after a long journey, and the concubine will order someone to prepare hot water for the princess to wash later, which can also be easier."

Qin Yining shook his head with a smile and said, "Mrs. Gong, don't be polite, now is the time of disaster, the well water that the earth dragon must stir when it turns over is turbid, if you can sit on the clear water, you should keep it for eating, as for bathing and washing, there is no hurry." ”

Jiang was quite surprised when he heard this.

She had never seen such a delicate and beautiful girl as Qin Yining in her life, she originally thought that she was born beautiful, and she must be arrogant when she was not out of the cabinet, but now that she is a princess, her arrogance will be doubled, and it must be even more difficult to serve, who knows that she actually misjudged.

Qin Yining said again: "I heard that the old lady is also in the back office, and I asked the lady to introduce me for me, I want to go and say hello to the old lady." ”

The Jiang family became more and more surprised when they heard this, "The princess has a noble status, it should be us who came to greet the princess." ”

"What did Madame say, I am young and a junior, so naturally I want to greet my elders, do you want the old people to greet me? Wouldn't that torment me? What's more, Lord Gong sticks to the old capital, I and the prince both admire it very much, and the old lady who can teach Lord Gong such a loyal and virtuous minister is indispensable. ”

Jiang listened to it again and was moved.

She was worried that the master who was not good at serving was such a transparent person, which was really unexpected for her.

"Since the princess said so, if I obstruct it, it will seem to be angry."

"Exactly. In the future, I will have to bother with the prince for a while, if Mrs. Gong has always been so polite, then we will not be comfortable living. The prince and Lord Gong fought side by side, they were both colleagues and friends, and the two of them were so close, so naturally we shouldn't have a part. ”

"That's what the princess said."

Jiang smiled and said: "The little girl Miao'er is accompanying her grandmother at this time, if the princess doesn't dislike it, she will go with the concubine?" ”

"There's Mrs. Law."

The Jiang family took Qin Yining around the corner and walked towards the main house in the back courtyard.

While walking, he introduced: "This is it, on weekdays, I live in the wing room with adults, my mother-in-law lives in the main house, my mother-in-law comes from the family of cultivation and reading, it is very reasonable, treat me as if I am my own daughter, I am not angry, only gave birth to three daughters to the adult, and the mother-in-law did not force the adult to take a concubine because she wanted a grandson, when she gave birth when she was young, I was blessed, and it was very ugly, my mother was afraid that the adults would not look down on me, so she sent two thin horses, and the adults sold it, saying that the family was poor and could not afford to support the superfluous people. ”

Speaking of this, the Jiang family suddenly woke up, although she chatted about her family for her cousins, she didn't know if Prince Zhongshun had a side room. What if Prince Zhongshun has a bunch of little wives, but she shows off in front of the princess how loyal her husband is and how good her in-laws are, wouldn't she slap the princess in the face?

Jiang secretly hated himself for speaking too straight, and this problem of speaking without concern had not been changed for many years.

Who knew that Qin Yining said with a smile at this time: "Sure enough, things gather like people and divide people into groups, no wonder the prince and Lord Gong fell in love." My mother-in-law and mother-in-law also treated me like their own daughter. The prince is even more unwilling to touch the slightest flower, but my mother-in-law is very powerful, if the prince really does that, maybe my mother-in-law can beat him. ”

"Really? And such a powerful old man? ”

"yes."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Jiang's heart was a lot more relaxed, and his senses for Xiao Xiao and Qin Yining and his wife were a little better, because Jiang felt that the character of a person who could be filial to the old man would not be too bad. Although Prince Zhongshun is notorious, how can he believe all the rumors outside?

When the two of them arrived and went up the steps, the Jiang family took Qin Yining into the house, "Mother, Prince Zhongshun is here." ”

Qin Yining followed closely, looking at the half-new tables and chairs and simple furnishings in the house, and he had a little more understanding of Gong You's integrity.

On the couch by the window of the house, an old woman in her seventies with gray hair was putting her shoes on the ground, and a little girl who looked to be about ten years old was serving the old lady to put on her shoes.

Old Madam Gong's hair was simply fixed with a silver comb, and she wore a azure thin cotton dress, which was quite simple, even worse than some servant women from rich and noble families in the capital.

But there was a loving smile on her thin face, and at first glance it made people think that this old lady must be a kind and kind old man.

Qin Yining didn't wait for the old man to salute, so he saluted first: "I've seen Old Madam Gong." ”

"Oops, get up, get up. How can this be done. Where can the old man afford the gift of the princess. ”

"The old lady is too polite. You are an elder, and as a junior, you should salute you. ”

"Please get up, third daughter-in-law, help me up."

"Whoa!" Jiang Shi took Qin Yining's arm and asked her to get up, then turned to help her mother-in-law sit down, and said with a smile: "Mother, the princess is not that kind of person, you can rest assured." ”

Old Madam Gong looked at Qin Yining with a smile, and secretly praised a good girl in her heart, but then she thought about it, if she is not spiritual, where can she become a princess?

Because Qin Yining's age happens to be the age of Mrs. Gong's granddaughter, Qin Yining is polite and polite, and she doesn't put on a show, and she is patient with the old man and knows how to make the old man feel good, so after chatting for a while, Mrs. Gong is very close to Qin Yining.

Old Madam Gong introduced the girl next to Qin Yining again: "This is my little granddaughter Miao'er." ”

Gong Miao was very thin, her eyes were timid when she looked at people, and she was a little afraid of life, but she still gave a curious and friendly smile, and saluted and called "Princess." ”

Qin Yining put a mutton fat jade bracelet on Gong Miao's wrist, "It's not a good thing, Miao Er will play with it." ”

During this time, he lived in the mansion, and he had to disturb the master's house, so he had to give Gong Miao a meeting gift.

Old Madam Gong and the Jiang family both resigned again and again, but in the end, under Qin Yining's kind words and appeasement, they were still warm.

"Princess."

At this time, the sound of Jiyun came from outside the door.

Qin Yining smiled and said, "What's the matter?" ”

"The prince invited the princess to the front to talk."

"Got it." Qin Yining got up and said goodbye, "I'll go first, and I'll bother when I'm free." ”

Old Madam Gong and the Jiang family were even more impressed by Qin Yining at this time, because the prince could let the female generation participate in such a serious matter, so either she was too fond of her, or she had special talents and could be reused by the prince.
