Chapter 2: The Old Slippery Head
"You girl, you don't know what you've eaten, and you'll say such nice things to make my old woman happy." Duchess Song Laoguo said with a smile.
Xu Lan is a jumpy character, she has never been stage frightened, and said with a smile, "The ancestor looks like this, that is, there are only thirty people, and they are young!" ”
When Duchess Song heard this, she smiled and narrowed her eyes, "This is the girl in the house, she can speak." As he spoke, he took off the jade bracelet on his hand and gave them a meeting gift one by one.
"Ancestor, this gift is too precious. My sister and I didn't dare to accept it, we just came to ask our ancestors to say goodbye, and we got your things for nothing, how dare we bear it. Xu Lan continued.
Princess Xu looked at this child who was not born to herself with satisfaction, "Let you take it, it is also the intention of the elders." In the future, you and your sister will remember to kowtow to your ancestors during the New Year's holidays, which can be regarded as dedication. ”
Xu Lan and Xu Xin were originally a little ashamed, but after listening to Princess Xu's words, they were relieved.
While Princess Xu was talking, she also gave the young lady in the Song Guogong Mansion a meeting gift. The two sides saluted, and then began to talk affectionately.
"Today is also fate, otherwise I don't know when I will be able to meet! I heard that King Xu is going to be stationed in the capital this time, congratulations. Duchess Song Laoguo said with a smile.
"On weekdays, I am in the south, and it is also His Majesty's thoughts, so I came to the capital because of the grace of the saint. This time he was also in a hurry, and the prince thought that the family could spend the New Year in Beijing this year. "When Princess Xu was in the place in previous years, she was held by those official wives, and she hadn't spoken so deliberately for many years.
Duchess Song nodded, "That's the case, but it's also right." This time I entered Beijing, and my family was busy packing up. ”
"Taking advantage of the time before the year, I should be able to clean up almost everything. It is estimated that the movement between relatives will be put on hold in the New Year. Princess Xu said.
"It's not rude, and people close to me must be able to understand it."
Here, Princess Xu and Mrs. Song Guo were talking politely, and Xu Lan was also chatting.
"We haven't seen anyone more iconic than my sister in Beijing." It was the four girls in the Song Guogong Mansion who spoke, with round faces and very cute looks.
When Xu Xin heard this, she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face in the end.
Xu Lan pursed her lips and smiled, showing her youngest daughter's shyness on her face, "My sister praised it falsely, my sister is the posture of heaven and man, I think I can't compare." ”
"This is the eldest lady of King Xu's Mansion!" A girl next to her who looked a little thin said.
"I don't know who this is?" Xu Xin asked with some confusion.
"I'm third, and the monkey next to me is my sister. My eldest sister is more than a month, and I call my sister, whose name is Song Ran. Song Ran smiled and revealed the two pear vortices on the side of his mouth.
Xu Xin hurriedly saluted, "It was Sister Song, I still don't understand a lot when I first enter Beijing, and I hope my sister will mention it when the time comes." ”
Song Ran is a good person, and said, "What do you say and don't mention it, everyone is sisters, and if you have any attention, I will naturally tell you." ”
A few girls talked in a ball, which was considered to be a handkerchief.
Princess Xu sat in the carriage of the Duke of Song for a while, and then prepared to leave. At this time, the carriage on the Song Guogong Mansion also came, and after the old lady changed to a carriage, the road on the Beijing Road was finally cleared.
After Xu Lan got into her own carriage, she sat on the side little by little.
Xu Xin watched it funny from the side, and asked the girl next to her to wait for Xu Lan to sleep more comfortably.
"Xin'er, do you have any doubts in your heart?" Princess Xu turned the jade bracelet in her hand.
"Mother!" Xu Xin is only at this time not to call her mother.
Princess Xu smiled, but she didn't tell her daughter at the beginning, "You, I'm afraid that you will be stupid to read, and you have to watch and learn slowly in the future." ”
When Xu Xin heard this, she wrinkled her eyebrows and looked unhappy.
"Mother is also for your good, you can't stay at home without marrying for the rest of your life. Even if your mother is willing, your father will not be happy. Princess Xu said to Xu Xin earnestly.
"I know, but I'm still early to get married, so there's no need to ...... so early" Xu Xin pouted with a face full of displeasure.
Princess Xu sighed, "I didn't hold you back on weekdays, thinking about letting you live a happy life before you got married." Do you know why our family is going to Beijing this time? ”
"Isn't it because the emperor transferred his father to the capital?" Xu Xin said very bluntly.
Princess Xu choked in her heart, I don't know if she taught her daughter so simply, is it a good thing or a bad thing? She sighed, "It's mainly for your marriage, you are already twelve years old this year, and you will get married in two years." ”
When Xu Xin heard this, her face turned red, "Mother, what are you doing about this, I'm still young, how embarrassing it is to get married.......
Princess Xu smiled.
At this time, Xu Lan, who slept next to her, was awakened by their laughter, and rubbed her eyes in a daze, "Mother, sister, what are you laughing at?" Are we going to get home? ”
Princess Xu knew about the marriage of her children, "If you are tired, just rest for a while, it is estimated that it will take a while to get to the house." When you arrive in Kyoto, you can't be as casual as you were in the south, and you have to be cautious in what you say and do. If you are not careful, you may have collided with a nobleman, so be careful about your skin when the time comes. ”
Xu Lanse shrank for a moment, made a frightened look, and then shrank her head and said cautiously, "Mother will definitely not ignore me, mother is the best for Lan'er." ”
Princess Xu had already made a majestic appearance, and when she saw Xu Lan showing such an expression, she didn't hold back her laughter all of a sudden. "You, you, you're a leather monkey. Forget it in front of me, don't show this expression in front of your father, or you will be counted again. ”
Xu Lan hurriedly hit the snake and put the stick on the side, snuggling on Princess Xu's side, "It's best for Lan'er at the moment, and I will definitely not let Lan'er be scolded by my father." ”
Xu Xin covered her mouth and smiled, "If Brother Huan looks at you like this, I guess I should talk about you again." ”
Xu Lan had a headache when she heard her brother's name, she was not afraid of heaven and earth, she was afraid of her brother's broken thoughts. I don't know how she can have a twin brother like an old man.
"Sister, spare me, I don't want to be scolded!"
