Chapter Ninety-Six: Chengenbo Mansion
Mrs. Chen, Mrs. Chengenbo, is much more reserved and silent than Li Jingyi imagined, even the three girls behind her seem to be quiet and calm, Mrs. Chen took a few daughters to the eldest princess of Jinyang to see the ceremony, and then said suddenly, "The concubine also received a post from the house, and only then did she know that my third sister had such a fate with the county lord in Zhuzhou, and asked the concubine to say, so our two mansions are not related, so they came to the capital for everyone, and the third sister will not stand by and watch the county lord fall,"
"His Royal Highness sent someone to send so many things, but it seems to be angry, the concubine thought, the third sister is not for these talents," Mrs. Cheng Enbo seemed to be a little ashamed of the gift sent by the eldest princess of Jinyang, "If the concubine accepts it, maybe the third sister will be complained about in the future." ”
Seeing that Mrs. Cheng Enbo was so modest and unrepentant, the eldest princess of Jinyang had a much better impression of her, and said with a smile, "Madame is too polite, compared to Mrs. Wang's help to the little girl in Zhuzhou, those things are really nothing, but if Madame refuses to accept these, she really doesn't regard the Jinyang Eldest Princess's Mansion as a relative." ”
"The concubine doesn't dare," Mrs. Cheng Enbo waved her hand again and again in fear, "Your Highness regards the concubine's family as a relative, which is the blessing of the concubine......"
I didn't expect Mrs. Cheng Enbo to be such a cowardly person, Li Jingyi didn't hear how the Wang family mentioned this sister-in-law when she was in Zhuzhou, this time she saw it, it was really a little unexpected for her, "Madame doesn't have to be like this, Jingyi calls Mrs. Wang aunt, and Madame is also Jingyi's elder,"
Li Jingyi looked at the girls who had been standing quietly behind Mrs. Cheng Enbo, "These are cousins, right?" ”
Seeing Li Jingyi ask her three daughters, Mrs. Cheng Enbo's face turned red, and she saluted the eldest princess of Jinyang, "It's the concubine who is rude, these are the three daughters of the concubine's family who have not left the cabinet, Minghui, Mingzhen and Mingshu,"
"I've seen Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, and I've seen the county lord of Ruihe,"
Minghui in the center is wearing a big red Shu brocade jacket, wearing a complete set of red treasure head, and although the two in the back are more beautiful, the clothes and jewelry on the body are obviously worse than Minghui, and the eldest princess of Jinyang is the daughter of Mrs. Cheng Enbo.
"They are all good children, all of them are like shallots," the eldest princess of Jinyang nodded, and the maid on the side had already brought out the tray, and the beads and hairpins of one color were not divided.
Mrs. Cheng Enbo was obviously shocked by the generous reward of the eldest princess of Jinyang again, and the three girls she brought were also hesitant and didn't dare to stretch out their hands, Li Jingyi smiled, "Why isn't Minghui grateful?" Your Highness likes you, and knows that you are coming, so I have specially given you a few newly made hairpins,"
"Thank you Your Highness yet," Li Jingyi spoke, and Mrs. Cheng Enbo's shoulders were relieved, and she ordered her three daughters with a smile.
Wang Minghui bit his lip lightly and stepped forward, "The courtiers have thanked His Highness for the reward." ”
The eldest princess of Jinyang is very rare, especially a little girl like a few girls from the Wang family, all of them are beautiful, and they are all quiet and gentle, quite a bit like the appearance of a daughter back then, "Sit down, speaking of which, our two mansions should have moved around a long time ago, and Mrs. Guifu has taken care of my family Jingniang in Zhuzhou." ”
If it weren't for Wang Qiaoying who saved Li Jingyi, how could Chengenbo Mansion and the eldest princess of Jinyang get together? Mrs. Cheng Enbo smiled and said, "This resentful concubine, Your Royal Highness also knows that like the concubine's mansion, which was given by the emperor because of his benevolence, he repaid the gentleman's kindness when he was stable, and he didn't dare to go out and walk around." ”
It seems that this Mrs. Cheng Enbo is really a sincere person, the eldest princess of Jinyang nodded secretly, "We people, as long as we don't bully people and disturb the place, who won't allow us to come out and walk around?" In the future, if you have to be idle, just come here,"
The eldest princess of Jinyang made up her mind to choose a good son-in-law for her daughter, only to find that she knew too little about external affairs over the years, what kind of people are there in the capital, except for a few old surnames, she knows nothing, for the sake of her daughter, she is also ready to change her old style, and actively go out and walk around.
Mrs. Cheng Enbo never expected that the eldest princess of Jinyang would be so easy to speak, so she got up and responded in a hurry, and thanked her again and again.
Mrs. Lan on the side was almost amused by Mrs. Cheng Enbo, she secretly observed Li Jingyi, but found that she looked calm, without a trace of displeasure, and when she looked at the three girls of the Wang family, she was also full of kindness, and couldn't help but be surprised.
Here, Wang Minghui was whispering to Li Jingyi about her cousin Fang Ruyun who was far away in Zhuzhou, "I still saw my grandfather when she passed away a few years ago, and four years have passed in a blink of an eye,"
Wang Minghui pursed his lips in annoyance, "Zhuzhou is too far away, it's not cheap to send a letter and bring something, I want to find a messenger myself, and my mother is not allowed to ......."
It seems that the relationship between the two cousins is quite good, Li Jingyi smiled and patted Wang Minghui's hand, "Ruyun is doing well over there, you haven't seen Lihuan yet, right?" ”
Li Jingyi looked at Wang Minghui, "Look at it so closely, Lihuan actually looks a little like you!" ”
Fang Ruyun is like Wang, although the inside is softer, but the long thick eyebrows and big eyes, tall and tall, Fang Lihuan is more like a mother, and the willow eyebrows look more gentle, but Wang Minghui in front of her is quite a bit of the water color of the daughter of Jiangnan, Li Jingyi's heart moved, "Mrs. Bo is a Jiangnan person?" ”
Li Jingyi asked about Mrs. Cheng Enbo's origin, Wang Minghui was inexplicably embarrassed, "No, the courtier's mother is from the capital,"
Wang Minghui's momentary embarrassment was seen by Li Jingyi, so she stopped asking and said with a smile, "Everyone is a niece and daughter like an aunt, Lihuan is not like Ruyun, but like you, when we see you in the future, maybe you like to play together." ”
Wang Minghui hadn't seen Fang Lihuan in Li Jingyi's mouth at all, but she saw that Li Jingyi didn't say anything to Fang Ruyun, but she mentioned Fang Lihuan, and couldn't help but wonder if her niece Fang Lihuan liked Li Jingyi more?
"Lihuan has not been to the capital since she was born, the county lord said this, the courtier is very curious, I don't know when the courtier will be able to see this niece, the aunt is married too far, the courtier has also seen the big cousin over there in Zhuzhou, even the uncle has only seen it in a hurry, I really hope that the aunt can come back from time to time......"
Li Jingyi said with a smile, "It should be, Lord Fang is a capable official, and he doesn't worry about his future." ”
Wang Minghui opened his mouth and wanted to ask again, but thinking of his mother's advice when he came, he smiled sneeringly, "The courtier has seen her uncle once, and she remembers that he is very kind, but I didn't expect him to be a good official!" If only my uncle could come to Beijing, the family would be able to reunite from time to time. ”
It's really hard to say how Fang Weimin's eunuch journey is, Li Jingyi said with a smile, "This depends on the ministry, but I think my aunt may come back for the New Year today!" ”
Wang Minghui's eyes flashed, "That's great, I'll ask my father to write a letter when I go back, well, and then ask my mother to send someone to decorate the yard for my aunt!" ”
Mrs. Cheng Enbo seems to be honest and timid, but she is a very discerning person, she did not stay long in Jinyang, so she found an excuse to leave, and even the Jinyang princess left them for lunch.
Li Jingyi sent Mrs. Cheng Enbo out, and the eldest princess of Jinyang invited the Chen family to talk to the west, in front of her own family, she was much more relaxed than before, "I thought I would invite you over a few days ago, but Jing Niang just came back, and there were a few things in a row,"
When something like this happened to her daughter, no one was willing to open the door to welcome guests, Chen nodded clearly, "Your Royal Highness is too outward, in fact, my lord has been thinking about it, even the eldest brother and the second brother have written to ask, it turned out that the concubine should have come early, but I am afraid of ......"
"The concubine looks pretty good at Jing Niang today, and her body is fine, right?" Li Jingyi's condition was much better than Chen expected, and Chen inevitably became a little curious.
Wang Minghui helped his mother Lan to get into the carriage first, and when Wang Mingshu lowered the curtain, Mrs. Chengen put away the kind smile on her face.
Mrs. Cheng Enbo's face was flat, and Wang Mingzhen and Wang Mingshu, who were kneeling at her feet, were so frightened that they involuntarily shrank back, but none of them even looked up.
Seeing the two concubines like this, Mrs. Cheng Enbo was satisfied, "Do you think I look stupid today?" ”
How dare Wang Mingzhen and Wang Mingshu have such thoughts, they shook their heads one after another, "No, no,"
"What about you? What do you think? Mrs. Cheng Enbo put her leg on Wang Mingzhen's body, and she gently pressed it for herself, and she reached out and pulled her daughter beside her, and asked.
Wang Minghui pursed his slightly thick lips, "Now that our uncle is weak, we need to make friends with some such people, for the sake of our father and brother, we are also happy to suffer some grievances." ”
What's more, the eldest princess of Jinyang and Li Jingyi obviously ate this set, Wang Minghui muttered, "I chatted with the county lord Ruihe for a few words, and I feel that she is the same as the eldest princess, she is a good talker, well, compared to Fang Ruyun, it seems that she likes Fang Lihuan more, and I listen to the meaning of the county lord Ruihe, and my uncle is only afraid that he will be promoted." ”
Fang Weimin was promoted to an official? Mrs. Cheng Enbo nodded, "This is also expected, your aunt simply saved the life of the county lord of Ruihe, this kindness Jinyang eldest princess and An Guohou naturally have to be counted on Fang Weimin's head, but it's a pity that ......"
It's a pity that the relationship between her husband and her mother-in-law and this sister-in-law who marries far away is not harmonious, think about it back then, Mrs. Cheng Enbo felt that her mother-in-law was simply too merciful, and found such a good family for a concubine, now it's good, thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, there is a day when Wang Qiaoying turns over!
"Do you think your aunt didn't tell the county lord about her relationship with us?" Ruihe County Lord owes the Wang family a favor, not Chengenbo's Mansion, if she knows about her grievances with Wang Qiaoying, I am afraid that she will not have such an attitude.
