Chapter 58: The Wu Clan
Serving tea to send off guests, Wu was also very knowledgeable, and hurriedly said goodbye and left.
The warm incense dock where the Wu family lives is just behind the left of Jiale Hall, go out from the back door, and pass through the big flower hall.
It's just that when he went out, Wu couldn't help but glance in the direction of the side hall, where Cheng Erniang, who lived with a big belly.
According to the mother-in-law, Cheng Erniang's belly is like a male fetus, and Princess Cheng's care for her is also extreme. Arrange the diet and daily life by yourself, for fear of the slightest accident.
If Cheng Erniang really gave birth to a boy......
"Yo, isn't this the princess of the county, come to say hello to the princess." Xu Mei said angrily.
She came to greet Princess Cheng, but she saw the Wu family head-on.
Although the princess is hopeless, since she moved into the Yan Palace, her life level has improved instantly, and Princess Cheng has indeed not lost her and Mrs. Xu in material terms.
She has always admired Cheng Shaomu, and she doesn't care about marrying a tablet. It's just that the Wu family is Princess Cheng's enemy, so she naturally won't have a good face.
"It's Mrs. Xu." Wu said with a smile, a little flattering, "The princess is in the house, you can go quickly." ”
Xu Mei glanced at her and wanted to find fault, but her IQ was low and she couldn't think of clever words, so she snorted coldly and walked away with her head held high.
Wu didn't dare to stay for a long time, and quickly returned to Nuanxiangwu.
Nuanxiangwu is the last of the three east houses of Yanwangfu, and the courtyard is spacious. The Wu family lived in five main rooms, and Zhou Ru, the sister of the former princess, lived in three rooms in the east wing.
Wu returned to the main room and sat down, the girl Wen Xing poured tea, and Chun Tao said: "That Mrs. Xu is just a lady, but she shows off her power in front of the princess." ”
The lady in the palace is a title, Zheng Liupin, and she is still under the side concubine, and even more under the princess of the county.
Xu Mei is a childless widow, and she really doesn't know what to be crazy about.
"If Cheng Erniang gives birth to a son, she will have crazy capital." Wu muttered to himself.
Although Xu Mei has a low title, she is the wife of the son of the previous life, and the child in Cheng Erniang's belly is said to be the child of the previous life.
Cheng Erniang gave birth to a son, but she gave birth to a child out of wedlock, even if she entered the door, she was a concubine. The child wants to recognize Mei as his mother-in-law.
has a wife and son, who will say who will say in this Yanwang Mansion in the future, it is really hard to say.
"What did the princess say?" Chun Tao didn't hear clearly, and couldn't help asking.
Wu frowned and said, "How many times have I said it, now I want to call the princess of the county." Next time, if you make a mistake, you will be deducted for a month. ”
Seeing that the Wu family was angry, Chun Tao immediately bowed her head and said, "The slave knows that she is wrong. ”
"By the way, does the eldest prince still live in the former study?" Wu asked.
Princess Cheng suddenly mentioned Han Rong's family affairs in front of her, although she pushed it cleanly, Princess Cheng was afraid that she would not give up.
Although Han Rong has not been very close to her all along, nephews and aunts of the same age are also gossipy if they are too close.
However, Han Rong is Han Xiao's nephew, and he still has to pay more attention to his affairs.
"There, everything has been moved in." Wen Xing said with a smile, "I heard my mother-in-law say that the eldest prince also brought people from the house, and he is very handsome." ”
"Did he pick it himself?" Wu was also a little curious.
The gentlemen are older, and there are two girls in the house to accompany the bed, so they don't have to be spoiled by outsiders.
It's just that Han Rong's character is like that, where does her aunt dare to meddle. Now that he learned that he had picked it himself, he was curious and worried, a fourteen-year-old boy was easily deceived by a fox.
"Brought from the county king's mansion, it should be." Wen Xing said.
Wu thought for a while and said, "You go and call her over, talk well, I have a reward for her." ”
Han Xiao has no children and no daughters under his knees, only such a nephew, he has always valued him.
Caring about Han Rong is also what her aunt should do.
Wen Xing understood and said, "Yes, I'll go." ”
Wen Xing walked quickly to the Shizi Mansion, and when she came to the West Wing, Qixia was chatting with Shen Xiu in the house.
"The princess really has a way, the rumors outside are so ugly, she has decided on the family matter." Qixia said.
Shen Xiu listened with a smile, as usual, but didn't answer.
As long as Han Rong goes out, Qixia will come to talk to her.
It's also boring, in Qixia's eyes, the girls in Han Xiao's back house are all her competitors. She is Han Rong's woman, and she is also a room.
The identity is the same, and it is not a competitive relationship, so Qixia naturally has no scruples about speaking to her. In a few days, she knew a little about the women around Han Xiao.
The princess of the county Wu has a good temper, Zhou Ru is a cheap person who is about to climb the bed, although she is cheap, but with her identity, if she really climbs, at least she is a lady.
And then there are the concubines, Han Xiao can stay if he wants to stay with the concubines who have fallen out of favor, continue to be a girl, and give food to eat. Either it's to give a sum of money to marry. It won't be too bad, and the same won't be too kind.
The concubine girl is just a kitten and a puppy, who will pay more attention to cats and dogs.
And then there is the princess who is about to enter the door......
"The main house at the back has begun to be cleaned up, and it is estimated that I will enter the door at the end of the year." Qixia said, her tone was uneasy, but she mocked: "My sister is pregnant before marriage, this sister ......"
Wen Xing walked to the door, vaguely heard the people inside talking, stood still and listened to a few words, then put his steps down, stood at the door and said, "Is Miss Xiu in the house?" ”
Shen Xiu heard that the voice was unfamiliar, and it didn't seem to be the voice of the mother-in-law, so she didn't answer first, but looked at Qixia.
"It's Wen Xing next to the princess of the county." Qixia whispered, "Confidant girl." ”
Chun Tao and Wen Xing are Wu's right-hand men, Wen Xing is fine, Chun Tao's eyes are almost on the eyes.
A girl, the master is upright, and she is not favored, and she doesn't know where she got the confidence to be arrogant.
Shen Xiu got up and replied with a smile: "I'm in the house." ”
As he spoke, he greeted the door and opened the curtain himself.
Wen Xing entered the house, but looked at Shen Xiu quietly.
What a great beauty, in the past, people in the house said that the princess Wu of the county is a rare beauty. This Ah Xiu instantly suppressed the princess of the county, and it is even more rare to have a dignified temperament.
Han Rong's vision is indeed very high.
"It's Wen Xing, are you here for something?" Qixia asked.
Wen Xing said with a smile: "It turns out that Miss Qixia is also there, and the princess of the county learned that Miss Axiu came to the mansion, so she wanted to ask her to come over and talk, and she specially picked out a few pieces of jewelry to reward her." ”
Qixia is not surprised, although the Wu family has no power in the house, her mother's family is extremely rich. And she has nothing to do all day, and only worries about such small things. Then he said to Shen Xiu: "You have something to do, I'll go back first." ”
"I'll send the girl out." Shen Xiu said, and said to Wen Xing: "Sister, please sit down." ”
Wen Xing smiled and sat down according to her words, but she couldn't help but look at the neat west wing in front of her.
When Han Rong first moved in, she had been here. A few small rooms are almost indistinguishable from a pigsty.
Taking care of people and waiting, it is really a woman who is careful, and in just a few days, the house has completely changed.
Shen Xiu personally sent Qixia to the door, turned around and went back to the house, and said to Wen Xing with a smile: "I'm slacking, please allow me to change my clothes." ”
Wen Xing nodded with a smile and said, "The princess of the county is not in a hurry, you can clean up slowly." ”
While talking, she looked at Shen Xiu dressed up again.
Although it is a home-style dress, whether it is the color matching or the jewelry on the head, it is beautiful, elegant and not vulgar.
Unlike Qixia, who has a little money to spoil, he puts the dresser on his head.
And I also know that when the master summons me, I have to change my coat, which must be from a big family, not a wild girl who doesn't know the rules in the village.
She is beautiful, has a good temperament, has a delicate mind, and speaks and acts gently.
Such a woman was accepted by Han Rong, which is really not a bad thing.
"I've got it covered."
Although he said that he was not in a hurry, Shen Xiu dared to delay, changed his coat, and had to leave with his hair straight.
"Please come with me, girl." Wen Xing said with a smile.
Wen Xing led the way, went out from the main gate of Shizifu, and passed through the long sandwich road before arriving at the main gate of Nuanxiangwu.
Shen Xiu memorized the road as he walked, and in terms of location distribution, Nuan Xiangwu should be horizontally parallel to the backyard of Shizi's Mansion.
It's just that Nuan Xiangwu belongs to the middle road, that is, the place of the prince and the princess. There is no direct connection with the Shizi Mansion, so you have to take a long detour and come out of the Shizi Mansion before you can come over.
Princess Cheng placed the Wu family here, not only to monitor nearby, but also to isolate the Wu family and Han Xiao.
It's just a matter of opening the door by a wall. Han Xiao wanted to do it, and he definitely did it.
"Here it is." Wen Xing said, led Shen Xiu into the courtyard gate, and pointed to the five main rooms, "The princess of the county lives here, if you are wronged in the future, just come and tell the princess of the county, I will definitely call the shots for you." ”
Shen Xiu smiled and said, "I wrote it down, thank you sister for mentioning it." ”
Wen Xing smiled without saying a word, and led Shen Xiu into the main room.
The two of them entered the room one after the other, and Shen Xiu only felt a burst of fragrance, although it was not strong, but the fragrance filled the room.
Looking at the room furnishings, it is low-key and luxurious, especially the decoration in the details, which is even more magnificent.
Sure enough, as Qixia said, the princess Wu of the county was born in a maritime business, although her status is not high, her family is extremely rich.
The Wu family was not favored, and he had no status in the county king's mansion before. The only way to win over subordinates is to open the way with money.
Now she believes that the Wu family is really rich.
"Princess Jun, I'm here with Miss Xiu." Wen Xing said, leading Shen Xiu into the inner room.
I saw Wu sitting on the couch, dressed in homely clothes, combing his hair in a bun, and a big phoenix hairpin inserted in his sideburns.
The clothes are exquisite, and Feng Hai is also good-looking, but she doesn't quite match herself. According to Qixia, Wu is eighteen years old this year, and he looks younger, sixteen or seventeen.
Beautiful, well-behaved, like a delicate doll. With such a look, if you dress up cutely, there will be a bonus.
But deliberately straighten up the high-end atmosphere, it will be a little nondescript, but it is better to dress up casually and look better.
However, the Wu family is still so young, and his appearance is also one of the best, at least a large part of Qixia Bailu. was able to straighten the side concubine, and he must have been very favored back then.
fell out of favor so quickly, and Han Xiao was unwilling. I don't know if she did something, or if Han Xiao just likes the new and hates the old so much.
"Meet the princess." Shen Xiu stepped forward to salute.
Wu smiled and said, "Hurry up, come and let me take a look." ”
