Chapter 1 The Mansion of the Song Kingdom
"It's snowing, sister, mother!" Xu Lan lifted the corner of the curtain of the car, looked out secretly, and shouted in surprise.
"Look at this girl, she can't be idle for a moment when she jumps out like this." Princess Xu smiled kindly, but did not accuse Xu Lan of her behavior.
Xu Lan lost her mother since she was a child, and she grew up in front of the princess since she was a child. Princess Xu is a kind person, because she felt pity when she saw that this girl was born so lonely. Therefore, this Xu Lan has grown up with the eldest lady Xu Xin since she was a child, and she is naturally more comfortable than others in front of the princess.
Xu Xin sat in the corner of the carriage with the appearance of everyone's ladies, covering her mouth and secretly laughing at this leather monkey.
Xu Lan is a thick-skinned person, so she doesn't care about this, and says disapprerovantly, "My mother will laugh at me, and my sister will too, it's really bad." I saw good things in front of the two of them, and they were laughing at me on the side. ”
"You, you, if you don't pay attention to it, you have to pull it out." Eldest Sister Xu Xin nodded Xu Lan's forehead, "Mother, look at this girl's mouth, I don't think anyone is in a hurry to get on her." ”
Xu Lan tilted her head proudly, "When I was in the southland before, this heavy snow like goose feathers was rare and tight. I'm not a rare sight to see, but I'm calling for you to come and see. Sister A, like me, has been in the southland all the year round, but I haven't seen it, and I don't know the hearts of good people. ”
"Okay, it's my fault that I don't know the hearts of good people." Xu Xin said with a smile on her face.
Princess Xu was also reluctant to detain the child in front of her, waved her hand, and said, "Xin'er, don't be too restrained, sometimes you should be relaxed, Miss Lan shouldn't make too much trouble." When you go out, you can't lose your identity. ”
Xu Lan and Xu Xin responded in a proper manner, "Yes!" ”
Xu Lan lifted the corner of the car window and pulled Xu Xin to see the snow scene.
For a long time, Xu Lan felt that this sister was simply stupid to read, and she was happy to see the moon and cry when she saw the flowers. No, looking at the large pieces of snow flying outside, the whole person was stupid.
Xu Lan also found it interesting, seeing that there was no one on the left and right roads, she also stretched out her hand outside to catch the snowflakes falling from the sky.
Xu Xin came back to her senses and looked at Xu Landao with a frown, "Lan'er, you ......"
Xu Lan playfully stuck out her tongue and took back the hand that was taken out of the window, "Shh, Sister can't let my mother see it, otherwise she should talk about me again." ”
Xu Xin glanced at Xu Lan with disgust, and turned her head to look at the snow scene outside, as if nothing had happened just now.
At this moment, the carriage suddenly jerked violently, and then the whole carriage stopped.
Now that it has reached the end of the year, Princess Xu and her entourage are in a hurry to stay in King Xu's mansion before the end of the year. This has already entered the lunar month, and the New Year is going to be celebrated in a few days, and Princess Xu hurried to the outskirts of Beijing before the end of the year.
"What's going on? Cuilan, go ahead and see what's going on? Why did the carriage stop, go and ask Lao Hu! Princess Xu commanded outside.
At this time, someone outside immediately responded, "Yes, princess Niangniang!" ”
After a while, Cuilan came over and replied, "Princess, Song Guogong's car in front of him broke down and blocked the road, so it blocked the way." ”
Song Guogong? Princess Xu thought for a while, she had not been in the capital for a long time, and the intertwined relationships in the capital were a little rusty. This Song Guogong seems to be a new upstart in the capital, the emperor has favored Concubine Shu the most in recent years, and Song Guogong is Concubine Shu's maiden family.
"Then let's wait here, let Steward Hu ask which family member of the Guogong Mansion is in the car, if you can help, go and help!" Princess Xu has always been a good person, otherwise this Xu Mansion would not be in order under Princess Xu's governance.
"Steward Hu said that it was the old lady and a few young ladies of the Guogong Mansion, and I heard that they went to the White Horse Temple outside the city to burn incense and pray for blessings. Seeing that the roots of the year are approaching, there are still many things to be done in the house, so I rushed to the city in the new year. Cuilan continued.
The old lady of the Song family, this is a must-see meeting. Although Princess Xu is the posture of a princess and the fate of the second grade, the old lady of the Song family did not let her eyebrows shave her eyebrows back then, and she fought with the old princess. Even if you see you today, it is also a courtesy.
"Xin'er, Lan girl, and come with me to meet the old lady of the Song family." Princess Xu wanted to understand the powerful joints in this, and straightened the clothes and hairpin on her body and said.
Xu Xin and Xu Lan saw it, and hurriedly helped Princess Xu out of the carriage.
The snow never stopped, and it got heavier and heavier. Cuilan was holding an oil-paper umbrella, and the maid who was waiting next to her hurriedly came over.
The umbrella of the umbrella, the warm stove of the warm stove, show everyone's demeanor in an orderly manner.
As the group approached, they saw a broken carriage standing in the middle of the road.
"But the family members of the Song family?" Cuilan stepped forward and asked.
The little guy was also a good-eyed person, and when he saw a group of people coming, he hurriedly saluted and said auspicious words with a smile.
Princess Xu couldn't help but praise in her heart when she saw it, she deserved to be a domestic servant from the Guogong Mansion, this is a style! Hurriedly called.
"If you go back to your nobles, the minion's mansion is the Song State Mansion, which one are you from? It's freezing on this day, blocking the path of the nobles, I'm really sorry. ”
"But Song Guogong's old lady is in the car?" Princess Xu asked, looking at a car next to her.
At this time, a delicate voice came from the car, "Which lady is it, my grandmother is in the car, it's too cold, why don't Mrs. get in the car and talk, it's good to warm up." ”
Princess Xu was not polite, so she got into the carriage with Xu Xin's hand. Sure enough, I saw a kind old lady in the center, Xu is old, and she ignores everything on weekdays and teases her grandson. The old lady didn't have the sharpness of his youth at all, and the light was all reined in.
"The old lady is fine, I just entered Beijing, but I didn't expect to meet the old lady with this fate. I still think that after I settle down, I will go to the house to meet you. "Princess Xu has always been a talker.
This old duchess is not a big one, and hurriedly asked people to help Princess Xu up. She has never seen anything in her old man's life, and people call her an old lady to promote her. "Princess, don't be polite, I heard the news that you are going to enter Beijing a few days ago, but I didn't expect to see people this year. I think I remember when you were just married, and you have all the children in a blink of an eye, and my old bones are really old. ”
The girl who was a little fat next to her hurriedly smiled and quipped, "You are young, and you have walked around the yard several times before, and even young people can't compare to that footstep." ”
