Chapter 145: Never be a concubine
After driving for more than half an hour, he arrived at Qufu in the east of the city from Zhou Yue's residence in the south of the city, and Mai Xiaohuan couldn't help but sigh that Xirui's capital was really big enough. If you have a chance, you must come out for a stroll, increase your knowledge, and if you have a camera, you can take pictures of the streets, buildings, and even the palace and take them back to your father and second sister to see.
Because there is an old lady and an old lady in Qu Mansion, there is no separation, Qu Zhiyi is the second son of the family, living in the courtyard on the west side.
Seeing Mai Xiaohuan and Lin's crying with joy, he hugged her and wiped her tears, she hadn't seen her for two years, and the mother and daughter didn't feel angry at all.
"Hello Mrs. Qu, our prince asked the slave to send Miss Xiaohuan to visit the elders of Qu Mansion, and then go back to restore her life!" Shizi must have been afraid that the Qu family would look down on Xiaohuan, so he let himself sit next to him, so that they would all know that Mai Xiaohuan was the person covered by King Chen's son, so as not to suffer any grievances here.
Where would the Lin family not hear what Xiaoquanzi meant! Qu Mang had already reported to her husband and herself last night, how could she not guess Zhou Yue's thoughts as a person who came over! According to Mai Xiaohuan's identity, even if she is Zhou Yue's concubine, or even having a room, it is not buried and wronged. But after analysis, the couple agreed that Mai Xiaohuan would never agree to be small, even if this person was Zhou Yue.
She has always been self-respecting and self-loving, how can she live a life of being low and small, looking at people's faces! If only I could find a way to dispel Zhou Yue's thoughts, it would be nice to separate the two as soon as possible.
When I arrived at the old lady's residence, the eldest lady and the third lady were also present, and there were several young girls standing next to them.
"Who is this?"
Lin introduced Mai Xiaohuan's identity, and heard that she was from Qingcheng County, the old lady leaned back on the couch, and the two ladies looked at the girl in front of them as if they were looking at things, and none of the little girls was willing to take the initiative to come over and talk to Mai Xiaohuan.
Lin stroked Mai Xiaohuan's back to show comfort. Mai Xiaohuan smiled and shook his head at her, he didn't care about their attitude, he would come today, just because his stepfather and mother lived here.
She can bear it, but Xiaoquanzi can't bear it, the person who the prince likes, why should the person who is convinced in his heart be treated like this.
"Ahem, in Xia Xiaoquanzi, the personal attendant of King Chen's son, Miss Xiaohuan is our prince's honored guest, and she was invited to the capital to play, because I miss Mrs. Lin so much, so I came to take a look. Xiao Huan! You've already met Mrs. Lin, now come back with me!" Or ......"
"Of course you have to stay, Xiao Huan! There are a few girls in our family who are the same age as you, and you just happen to be companions. The eldest lady hurriedly expressed her attitude, and Qufu especially welcomed the arrival of Mai Xiaohuan.
The old lady asked her to take a pair of bracelets of mutton fat jade and give them to Mai Xiaohuan as a meeting gift, and the eldest lady pulled off the red jade hairpin on her head and brought it to Mai Xiaohuan with her own hands. Several little girls gathered around together, just like when Xiaoquanzi's voice fell, they saw Mai Xiaohuan.
These people suddenly changed their attitudes, Mai Xiaohuan was really a little uncomfortable, and Xiaoquanzi said a lot of things that the prince told her to eat well and not run around. Under the farewell of the Qu family, he swaggered away.
After he left, the Qu family was lively, and the ladies were basically speechless. After several little girls greeted Mai Xiaohuan, they vaguely inquired about Zhou Yue's recent situation, and one of the most excited had already grabbed Mai Xiaohuan's sister and cried out.
It's all because of Zhou Yue! His ability to provoke Peach Blossom is really great, look at how much these ladies love and are crazy about him, and the relationship between celebrities and iron fans, it's nothing more than that! Of course, Mai Xiaohuan will not tell how she knows Zhou Yue and the relationship between him. She only said that she had never been to the capital, and it happened that Zhou Yue went to Qingcheng County some time ago, and the two of them just entered Beijing together.
Nothing more! Who doesn't know that Zhou Yue is difficult to get along with! Girls want to dream about his preferences and how to get close to him, and what the result! The granddaughter of the scholar and the niece of the queen's maiden family have all been disliked by him in public, and no girl has ever managed to get close to him.
I didn't expect a girl from a small place to be able to get his favor, this girl is a little colored, but is it comparable to Han Ruixue, the first beauty in the capital of the prime minister's granddaughter? She is also quite temperamental, but the girls in the courtiers' families probably read more books than her! Not to mention those talents, what can she know?
"Xiao Huan! What do you like to do the most, what are you best at? "Knowing her advantages is equivalent to knowing Zhou Yue's preferences, and you can just learn by yourself.
Mai Xiaohuan wrenched his hands and counted the fields, fed the chickens, and went up the mountain to pick mushrooms...... The little girl on the side was a little dumbfounded, how did they learn! What's more, with Zhou Yue's love for cleanliness, how can he allow his favorite people to fiddle with those things!
Otherwise, the little girl in front of her deliberately deceived people, think about it, she finally climbed to the prince of Chenwang, how could she easily give the opportunity to others! Taking advantage of the fact that no one is competing with her for favor now, she will consolidate her position first, and then get pregnant or something, and she will be able to gain a firm foothold in Chenwangfu in the future.
If Mai Xiaohuan knew what they were thinking, she would definitely ask for advice, how a twelve-year-old girl like a shriveled bean could compete for favor and how to get pregnant, these people's imagination was too rich, and she was really embarrassed in front of them.
After lunch, Lin took Mai Xiaohuan to take the carriage to the Tang family's shop in the capital, in the moving carriage, Lin looked at Mai Xiaohuan and stopped, wanting to persuade her to leave Zhou Yue and go home early. There are countless officials in the capital, and I don't know how many girls in my family will marry to Chenwang's Mansion, where is Xiao Huan's opponent.
"Mother-in-law, say whatever you want!" This cautious look is afraid that he will be sad to hear the next words?
"The stepmother wants to say...... The prince of Chenwang...... You also saw today, the attitude of the girls of the Qu family when they heard that you knew him, there were many people in the capital who were like them, or even more strongly than them. ”
"And these people are all illustrious and versatile, and they are better than me in every way."
"No, no, that's not what the stepmother meant."
"Mother-in-law, I understand that you are for my own good, and I also have that self-knowledge, so I haven't thought about what to do with him at all. The two of us are not at all the same way, and we will never be together. Being a concubine as a concubine in my capacity is considered a high climb, and some people will say that our Mai family ancestor has accumulated great virtue. But I won't ask for this glory, and I will never be someone else's concubine, never. ”
Mai Xiaohuan was not surprised at all that Lin would answer like this, and after listening to her words, his heart was also relieved. But the two of them often meet, and Zhou Yue has such a thought, who can guarantee that nothing will happen!
"I have a few things to do here, and I'll leave as soon as I'm done. It is estimated that there will be no chance to meet Zhou Yue in the future. ”
Since Mai Xiaohuan said so, the Lin family believes that she can do what she says, and now she only hopes that her affairs will be done as soon as possible and she will return to Qingcheng County as soon as possible.
The Tang family has a dim sum shop and a restaurant in the most prosperous area, Tang Xianhua is very happy to see Lin and Mai Xiaohuan, and must invite them to dinner.
"How do you feel like I'm here to eat and drink, Mai Xiaohuan took a turn in the dim sum shop, and it was the first time she walked here!
Tang Xianhua said with a smile: "Uncle can't wait for you to come to eat and drink every day, because the suggestions you make are very practical, and some of them can also have a sensational effect, we are old and can't think of such an idea, and we will have to rely on you young people in the future." ”
It turned out that such a sensational dim sum shop in the capital was Xiao Huan's idea from decoration to formula, this child has business acumen and money-making ideas one after another, no wonder Chen Wang Shizi took such a fancy to her and made a special trip to pick her up.
invited Mai Xiaohuan to have a meal, and got several good suggestions from her, Tang Xianhua sent the two out of the door with a smile.
Qu Zhiyi, who was in the lower office, was also very happy to see Mai Xiaohuan, and at this time, Mai Xiaohuan remembered that he still had Brother Qu's family letter on him, and presented it with both hands. Lin and Mai Xiaohuan chatted quietly, and Qu Zhiyi read the letter without changing his face, and put it in his sleeve casually.
In the evening, the Qu family arranged a sumptuous banquet to entertain Mai Xiaohuan, a few girls with chopsticks, she added vegetables to Mai Xiaohuan's bowl with a spoonful, if people who don't know see it, they think that the relationship between several people is particularly good!
What's going on? Qu Zhiyi looked at his wife in confusion, Lin shook his head with a smile, there were some things that she was really embarrassed to say as an aunt and aunt.
After settling Mai Xiaohuan after dinner, Lin returned to the bedroom and asked his son what he wrote in the letter, and her husband was so mysterious. Qu Zhiyi took out the letter and handed it to his wife and asked her to read it for herself.
Except for a few words of greeting, the rest of the space on the letter was used to talk about Zhou Yue and Mai Xiaohuan, Qu Hao repeatedly told his parents to find a way to keep Mai Xiaohuan in the house, minimize the contact between the two of them, and it is best to send Mai Xiaohuan home as soon as possible.
"Xiao Huan has already lived in the private house of the prince, and now it is too late to ask her to move out. Besides, in such a situation at home, it is strange that Xiao Huan likes to live. Today I vaguely mentioned the prince of Chenwang......"
"What did Xiao Huan say?"
"That kid is transparent! She said that she would leave the capital as soon as possible, and it is estimated that she will not have anything to do with the prince in the future. She remembered who she was, and she wouldn't do anything out of the ordinary. ”
The child has always been smart, and he shouldn't do foolish things, Lin suddenly remembered the youngest son who lived in his uncle's house, and asked her husband if he should bring him a letter, and said that Xiao Huan was here.
"You don't have to send a letter specially, you can see each other when you come back, and if you can't catch up with Xiao Huan, you won't be tired."
Is this what my father should say? Lin felt that his son was just a little fatter. Qu Zhiyi suggested that a doctor should come to her tomorrow to look at her eyes first, why is her eyes not good before she is old!
