Chapter 246: Someone from the Palace
Because Shen Wei himself was present, the Queen Mother was not good at mentioning Shen Wei's marriage in person, so she put it down after mentioning this sentence.
Shen Wei often comes to the palace, and he is already familiar with talking to the Queen Mother, he is a good learner, and he can be regarded as eloquent, so the Queen Mother likes to listen to him tell stories.
Shen Wei accompanied the Queen Mother and talked for a while before withdrawing from Ci'an Palace, but the Queen stayed.
"Queen, the mourning family you just said already knows, and tomorrow the mourning family will invite Wang Dong's wife to bring the two children into the palace. Coincidentally, just now Imperial Physician Jiang also mentioned Shao'er's family affairs to the mourning family, and he also fell in love with the girl of Wang Dong's family, you say that it is a coincidence. The Queen Mother said with a smile.
The queen frowned without a trace when she heard this, but said with a smile on her face: "That's really a coincidence, I don't know which of Wang Dong's daughters Imperial Doctor Jiang mentioned?" ”
The Queen Mother picked a special low-sugar candied fruit with a silver chisel and squinted her eyes: "It should not be the same as what you value, he is interested in Wang Dong's daughter-in-law, I heard that Wang Dong's family has only one daughter-in-law." ”
When the queen heard this, her eyebrows furrowed again, and she looked at the queen mother and stopped talking.
But after thinking about it, I still didn't say it. She understands the character of the Queen Mother, and she pays the most attention to those ethical identities and the like. That's why she will have some foreshadowing at the beginning of today, and she just wants the Queen Mother to see it for her sake, ignoring that Shen Wei is continuing this time.
Originally, if she had put a lot of effort into this matter, she should have been able to do it, but who knew that she would kill a Jiang Taiyi halfway.
If it was someone else who mentioned this matter in front of the Queen Mother and not Imperial Physician Jiang, or if Imperial Physician Jiang came for someone else's relatives, the queen would naturally not be afraid, but unfortunately, it was Imperial Physician Jiang who came for Xuan Shao's marriage.
The queen was embarrassed.
First of all, not to mention that Imperial Physician Jiang and the Queen Mother are old courtiers who have dealt with each other for decades. It's Xuanshao......
The queen knows very well that although the queen mother treats Shen Wei very differently, compared with Xuan Shao, the queen mother is definitely partial to Xuan Shao. Without him, just because Xuan Shao's surname is Xuan.
The Queen Mother looked cheerful and talkative. In fact, he is a very old-fashioned person. In her heart, the interests of the royal family are the most important, and she naturally values the royal people the most. In addition, the rest of the people have to step aside even if they are favored.
Thinking of this, the queen smiled and said, "Then you have to take a good look at each other." ”

Day 2. Sanniang is learning the rules from Mama Zhuang in the backyard. Agarwood came in a hurry.
"Third Miss, Fifth Miss, someone has come to the palace, Madame asked you to go to the main room."
Sanniang was startled at first when she heard this, but quickly calmed down and asked softly, "Which palace is it from?" ”
Agarwood also settled: "It was an old lady who came, saying that it was someone from the Queen Mother's side." ”
Dowager? Sanniang groaned slightly, knowing that she couldn't delay. nodded to Mama Zhuang, planning to go to the Xue family's main house, and Wu Niang was also busy following.
"Third Miss. Please stay. Mama Zhuang suddenly said loudly.
When Sanniang heard this, she stopped and looked at Mama Zhuang.
Mama Zhuang stepped forward. leaned into Sanniang's ear and whispered: "Third Miss, the Queen Mother, she values the most well-behaved young lady." If she asks you if you have ever read a book, you should remember to answer, 'I haven't read much of the other books, but I have read the precepts of the women.' ’”
Mama Zhuang hurriedly finished speaking and moved away, Sanniang smiled and nodded to Mama Zhuang: "Sanniang wrote it down, thank you Mama." ”
Mama Zhuang didn't say anything more, bowed down, and saw Sanniang leave.
And Aunt Cui, who was in the inner room, also heard the movement, and couldn't help but be ecstatic in her heart, someone from the palace, and the lady called Miss Three and Miss Five. It can be seen that her Wu Niang has not been forgotten, thinking of this, Aunt Cui couldn't help but clasp her hands together and mutter: Yue'er, this time you have to fight for strength and seize the opportunity. It's a pity that I couldn't come forward to mention some Wu Niang one or two just now.
Mama Zhuang happened to return to the inner room at this time, and when she saw Aunt Cui's appearance, the corners of her mouth couldn't help revealing a subtle sneer, but soon she returned to her stereotypical face and said coldly: "What are you doing here?" Didn't you just tell you to memorize the "Code of Concubines" within an hour? Do you still have time to pray to God and chant the scriptures here, and you must have finished memorizing them? ”
Aunt Cui's face stiffened, and she turned around and said softly: "The concubine is happy for the young ladies, and she can be received by the person sent by the Queen Mother, concubine...... Although she is only a concubine, she has also taken care of Miss Fifth when she was in the old mansion all these years. As she spoke, Aunt Cui glanced at Mama Zhuang.
I didn't want Mama Zhuang to be unmoved: "Aunt Cui, it seems that you still haven't read that code." Miss Fifth is the master, you are a slave, even if Miss Fifth has a good future one day in the future, her mother is also a lady, and she has nothing to do with you. ”
Saying that, Mama Zhuang slowly walked to her seat and sat down, poured a cup of tea by herself, and blew it slowly, but she didn't drink it: "The backyard is precisely because there are so many people who can't see their own identities clearly, and always think that they have to intervene in everything, catch a fish, and earn a profit...... In a good backyard, there will be more bloody rain. So I asked my aunt to memorize this concubine code for your own good, and maybe one day you will thank this for saving your life. ”
Aunt Cui secretly gritted her teeth, but she didn't dare to talk to Grandma Zhuang. The identity of the upbringing grandmother is different from that of ordinary slaves, and each family has to be respected, and she has no ability to argue with this old immortal grandmother now.
Mama Zhuang glanced at Aunt Cui leisurely, and the emotions in Aunt Cui's eyes were naturally invisible in front of her. Mama Zhuang pulled the corners of her mouth and lowered her head to drink tea.
Sanniang and Wuniang came to the Xue family's main house, and the people sent by the Queen Mother came in a low-key manner and did not make a big fuss.
Even so, the Xue family didn't dare to slack off, and busily served the somewhat old grandmother to the seat for tea.
When Sanniang entered, she felt that there was a line of sight looking back and forth between herself and Wu Niang, until Xue Shi said the identity of her and Wu Niang, and that line of sight stayed on herself.
Sanniang's face was silent, and she stepped forward to salute according to the etiquette taught by Mama Zhuang.
Immediately afterwards, Sanniang heard a gentle voice with a smile and said, "Third Lady Wang is a blessed person, and these two daughters are good." ”
Xue Shi hurriedly answered, and said a few words with the grandmother.
"I came today to announce that the third lady and the two young ladies would enter the palace in the afternoon at the behest of the Queen Mother. Originally, it should have been someone else who came to announce the decree, but I was just about to go out of the palace to find Imperial Doctor Jiang to get medicine, so I automatically invited Ying to come. ”
Sanniang's heart moved when she heard the name of Imperial Physician Jiang, and she looked towards the position of the grandmother without a trace, but found that the old grandmother was still looking at her. Sanniang was caught, but she didn't panic, but bent her knees slightly, and then lowered her head again.
The grandmother looked away with a smile in her eyes.
"The words have been brought, and the old slave still has something to do, so he will leave first." So saying, the grandmother got up.
Seeing this, Xue Shi also hurriedly got up.
"Madame, please stay." As she spoke, the grandmother walked in front of Sanniang and Wuniang but stopped, and said with a smile: "Can the third lady accompany the old slave for a while?" The old slave looked at the third lady and fell in love with it. ”
Sanniang glanced at Xue's family, and saw that although Xue's face was full of surprise, she still nodded, and Sanniang lowered her head and said, "Sanniang can't ask for it." ”
The grandmother smiled and nodded, and walked out, and Sanniang hurriedly followed.
Although the palace people are also slaves, ordinary people dare not slack off on the servants who pass on the decree.
The few little palace maids who followed Mama Xue walked a few steps slowly, followed behind, and the Mama and Sanniang walked in front.
"The old slave is the spring grandmother who serves by the queen mother's side." Mama Chun glanced at Sanniang with a smile: "Don't be nervous when you go to the palace to see the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is the most loving." ”
Sanniang bowed and responded.
Mama Chun glanced at Sanniang and said with a smile: "You don't have to be restrained, the old slave and Imperial Doctor Jiang are old friends, and he entrusted the old slave to take care of you." ”
Sanniang glanced at Mama Chun with just the right amount of surprise and puzzlement.
Mama Chun looked at Sanniang carefully, and smiled again: "Has Miss San ever read?" But without waiting for Sanniang to answer, Mama Chun said again: "The Queen Mother often says that a woman is virtuous if she is not talented, presumably Miss San is a virtuous and talentless person!" ”
Sanniang paused, bowed down and replied, "Yes, thank you for mentioning it." At this time, she naturally won't slap her swollen face and be a talented woman. It's the affordability that counts.
Seeing that the second gate was about to arrive, Mama Chun stopped her steps and said in a lower voice: "Imperial Doctor Jiang begged the Queen Mother for the matter of his apprentice, but I think that the third young lady should not know who the imperial doctor's apprentice is." The old slave said one more thing, the queen mother is the most important to the rules. ”
When Sanniang heard this, the emotions in her heart were already turbulent, but her qi cultivation kung fu has always been excellent, so she didn't show it at all, but looked at Mama Chun with some puzzlement, and her eyes were truly pure and innocent.
Even if this Mama Chun was sent by Imperial Physician Jiang, Sanniang did not intend to argue with the values of people in this world in front of people. What she should do is to be a well-behaved, pure and loyal boudoir girl.
Otherwise, even if this grandmother was looking at Imperial Doctor Jiang's face and mentioning something to her, she could look down on her when she went out of this door. People are sophisticated, Sanniang has always been very clear, no one has the obligation to trust you unconditionally and be good to you. What's more, this Mama Chun has been with the Queen Mother for many years, who knows if she has been influenced by the Queen Mother's concept?
Even if you love the house and Wu on the face of others, then you must have the good quality of making people love the house and Wu.
Sure enough, Mama Chun was even more satisfied when she saw Sanniang's appearance, so she let Sanniang stay and leave the Wang family with the little palace maids she brought. (To be continued)
