Chapter 82: Concubine Mei (1)
Before the time of Shen, the carriage was already parked outside the Lotus Pond Academy.
Most of the people who came to pick up their daughters back home were the ladies of various provinces.
As a man, Xie Jun is quite eye-catching. The unfading scars on the face fall into the human eye, which naturally attracts a lot of attention. None of that matters, though.
Xie Jun's youngest daughter is the head of Lotus Pond Academy!
This one is enough to overshadow the surprise and speculation caused by the injury on Xie Jun's face!
"Lord Xie teaches his daughter well, which is admirable!" Mrs. Lin smiled and took the initiative to greet Xie Jun: "Last time I came to the door to thank you, Lord Xie was not in the house. I can finally see it today, and I have to thank you for my life. ”
Xie Jun was very polite to Lin Yushi's wife: "Mrs. Lin is too polite. Ming Niang is just a gesture. ”
Mrs. Lin said with a smile: "Miss Xie's hard work is like the grace of reinvention for the little girl. If it weren't for Miss Xie's timely help, the little girl would not be where she is today. The two of them are destined, and the two of us should move around more. ”
Of course, Xie Jun would not refuse the good things that were sent to the door, and immediately responded with a smile.
Lin Yushi is the head of the Qing rumor-clearing officials, and his official position is not high, but he has the right to impeach hundreds of officials when he hears the news.
Xie Jun is a Honglu Siqing, and he is also a county horse, so he has no chance to associate with important ministers like Lin Yushi on weekdays. Now that Xie Mingxi rescued Lin Weiwei, he successfully climbed Lin Yushi, and he was really happy in his heart.
Mrs. Lin took in the joy flashing in Xie Jun's eyes, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.
Xie Mingxi is really pitiful, there is such a ruthless mother-in-law, and such a father who tends to be inflammatory.
……
The figures of two girls who came hand in hand suddenly came into view.
Mrs. Lin's eyes lit up, and she didn't care about talking to Xie Jun anymore, so she immediately walked quickly to meet her. When he opened his mouth, there was a series of inquiries and concerns: "Weiwei, are you still used to it in Lotus Pond Academy today?" What classes were taught? Master, you may be able to understand the lessons? How's your lunch? How about a resting place? ”
Lin smiled slightly: "Mother, why did you have so many questions!" I'll have to get into the carriage and tell me more. ”
Mrs. Lin was not annoyed at all, and hummed with a smile.
Xie Mingxi saw this scene in his eyes, and a trace of embarrassment arose in his heart.
This is the mother who really loves her daughter!
In contrast, Aunt Ding, who is still angry and angry because of her "disobedience and unfilial piety", is eccentric and cold!
Xie Jun walked forward quickly.
In fact, he also has a lot of questions to ask. For example, "Does the master value you very much, the first place", "Have you made other friends besides Lin Weiwei", etc.
It's just that, in front of Mrs. Lin, these words are really not suitable to ask. The words full of stomach finally turned into one sentence: "You're okay today!" ”
Xie Mingxi smiled casually: "It's okay." ”
"It's not just okay, today's limelight is almost exhausted by Sister Xie alone." Lin Weiwei looked proud and proud: "She is the head of the house, the mountain chief loves her very much, and Master Ji also favors her very much." ”
After a pause, he reluctantly added: "The sixth princess and Sister Xie are also very close to each other. ”
Xie Jun's eyes lit up, and he looked at Xie Mingxi's gaze as if he was looking at a treasure.
Xie Mingxi tugged at the corners of his mouth.
Xie Jun is such a vain and realistic man. Whoever can bring him more scenery and benefits, he will spare no effort to reach whomever he wants.
Back then, Xie Jun fell to the ground and favored Xie Yunxi. In this life, I will definitely stand "unswervingly" behind her in the future.
……
Half an hour later.
Xie Fu, Lan Xiang Yuan.
"Auntie, the master has already taken the young lady home." Wen Qi hurriedly came to report, while paying attention to the change in Aunt Ding's complexion: "Auntie, do you want to go to Chunjin Pavilion?" ”
Xie Mingxi, the first freshman, has already gone to the academy to register for classes.
What is shocking is that the county lord of Yongning did not react in any special way - neither did he make a stumbling block, nor did he anger Xie Yuanting.
Aunt Ding stayed up in fear for a few days, and only today did she slowly react.
Among them, there must have been some changes that she couldn't have predicted!
"I'll go to Chunjin Pavilion now." Aunt Ding turned the corner and immediately started the idea of "mother and daughter are as good as ever".
Wen Qi saw through it and didn't say anything, and responded with a smile.
It's a pity that Aunt Ding's wishful thinking never started. When I arrived outside the Chunjin Pavilion, I touched it.
"Auntie, please stay." Congyu politely stopped Aunt Ding: "Miss and Master are talking." The young lady has instructed the slaves and maids, and no matter who comes, they will not be seen. ”
Aunt Ding: "......"
After Xie Mingxi was admitted to the top place of Lianchi Academy, his status in Xie Mansion skyrocketed. Xie Jun's partiality towards Xie Mingxi is also particularly obvious. From the jade waist pole, he is full of energy, and he speaks much more calmly than before.
After one another, Wen Qi lost her previous condescension and arrogance, but accompanied by a smiling face: "Please go in and spread the word, just say that the aunt is here, maybe the young lady wants to see the aunt I don't know." ”
Congyu cleared her throat: "Miss specially told me that if my aunt comes, there is no need to pass it on." Miss doesn't want to see her aunt! ”
Wen Qi: "......"
……
In the palace, Hanxiang Palace.
Hanxiang Palace got its name from the planting of several plum blossoms.
In winter, the plum blossoms bloom, fragrant and quiet, elegant and pleasant.
At this time, it was spring, and there were no plums to appreciate in the Hanxiang Palace, so it was a little lonely and lonely. Concubine Mei, who is recuperating all year round, drinks medicine every day. There was a faint smell of bitter medicine in the Hanxiang Palace.
"Hanxiang Palace, you can change it to Yaoxiang Palace."
The woman half-lying and half-sitting on the bed laughed softly at herself.
The woman was nearly thirty years old, her cheeks were thin, and she had the weakness of recuperating from her illness for many years.
The woman is undoubtedly extremely beautiful. It's just that no matter how beautiful her appearance is, she can't withstand the torture of several years of illness, and her face is dull and haggard.
This woman is the sixth princess's biological mother, Concubine Mei.
Concubine Mei entered the palace at the age of sixteen, and gave birth to six princesses and seven princes at the age of eighteen, and was favored for several years.
At the height of the limelight, the rewards sent by the emperor filled several warehouses. The palace attendants in the palace are vying to come to Hanxiang Palace on duty.
Such a good situation did not last long.
Three years ago, the Seventh Prince fell into the water and died, Concubine Mei almost cried blind with a pair of bright eyes, and insisted on burying the Seventh Prince in person. After that, he fell ill and collapsed. After three years of recuperation, he failed to recover from his illness and almost never appeared in front of people again.
If it weren't for the six princesses, Emperor Jianwen would have forgotten that there was still Concubine Mei in the palace.
Qin Se, the palace maid who was waiting on the side, hurriedly smiled and opened the topic: "Her Royal Highness the princess went to the Lotus Pond Academy today, and I don't know if Her Royal Highness is suitable for life in the academy." ”
Speaking of the sixth princess, Concubine Mei, who felt sorry for herself, finally cheered up a little: "Calculate the time, Anping should also return to the palace." ”
As soon as the words fell, a palace maid came to report: "Qi Concubine Mei, Her Royal Highness the Sixth Princess has come down." ”
