Chapter 34: The Name of the Family
The ladies sat on both sides of the old lady's head, and when they were greeting the old lady in turn, a maid came to pass the news: "Princess Jiahe and Princess Jiarou have arrived." β
Mrs. Anpinghou was first happy, and then surprised, Princess Jiahe would come, she had already received the news, but why did Princess Jiarou also come? Moreover, it was not disclosed before.
Before she could figure it out, the fast-talking lady congratulated her: "The Hou Mansion really has a big face, and the two princesses came together today, and we will follow it." β
Mrs. Anping put away her surprise and looked at everyone with a smile: "Everyone, please wait a while, I will go out to meet the two princesses first." β
"Yes, Mrs. Hou will go by herself, don't let the two princesses wait for a long time."
After a short time, a group of people walked into the house one after another, surrounded by two young girls dressed in palace costumes - it was Princess Jiahe and Princess Jiarou.
Princess Jiahe, as in the past, did not look at the full house of noble ladies, walked straight to the center of the hall, and said in a loud voice:
"I heard that today is the birthday of the old lady, and Jiahete has prepared a thin gift, and I hope the old lady likes it."
A palace maid immediately stepped forward with a wooden box, and a grandmother beside the old lady received a signal from the eyes, and immediately took the wooden box from the palace maid's hand, opened it, and presented it to the old lady.
Everyone looked intently and saw a blue porcelain vase in the wooden box.
Mrs. Anpinghou was close to the distance, and she couldn't help but step forward and take out the porcelain vase from the wooden box.
She turned her head to look at Princess Jiahe in surprise: "Your Highness, this is the porcelain used by the palace emperor?" β
Princess Jiahe nodded with a smile, and the palace maid on the side said proudly: "Even in the palace, it is very rare to have such a smooth and precious blue-glazed porcelain. β
When the old lady heard this, she said uneasily: "Your Highness is so respectful, the old body doesn't dare to take itββ"
Princess Jiahe raised her head and smiled: "The old lady accepted it, this thing is not worth anything to me." β
Princess Jiarou quietly rolled her eyes in her heart, and randomly chose a thing from Concubine Wan to give favors, which not only saved money, but also did not bother to think about it, so it was naturally not worth anything.
She stepped forward and smiled sweetly at the old lady above:
"Old lady, I don't have as much wealth as the third sister, what I sent you this time is a box of Huazhou orange red, I hope you are in good health, and your longevity is better than Nanshan."
The old lady smiled gently: "Princess Jiarou has a heart, this Huazhou orange red is also a tribute, and it is very rare." β
Princess Jiahe snorted.
Although it is a tribute, it is not difficult for the dignitaries and nobles to obtain it, so this Huazhou orange red is much cheaper than her blue glazed gold plum vase.
The old lady didn't expect Princess Jiahe to be in public, and she couldn't help but smile slightly.
If she wants her to say that although Huazhou orange red is not as precious as blue-glazed porcelain, at her age, the Huazhou orange red sent by Princess Jiarou can be used to treat diseases at a critical moment, and it is obviously more useful than the plum vase of Naraushzi.
Princess Jiarou was also annoyed in her heart, taking into account today's occasion, she didn't have a seizure on the spot, but she pursed her lips and said nothing, anyone could see that she was in a bad mood.
The scene froze for a moment.
Mrs. Anping Hou was dumbfounded, although she had heard of the discord between the two princesses, she never imagined that it had reached such an extent, and she did not leave any affection in front of the guests in the room.
Just when he was in a dilemma, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said to Yun Ling, who was like an invisible person on the side:
"Ling'er, you can take the princess and the ladies to the garden to play, the sons in the front yard may also be in the garden, pay attention, don't crash into it."
He smiled and turned to Princess Jiahe: "Ze'er likes to write poems the most, and every time there is a banquet, you must find someone to discuss, and at this time, eighty percent of them will compose poems by the lake, and the princess will walk around the garden, maybe she can see the scene of them composing poems across the lakeββ"
Princess Jiahe had no intention of visiting the garden, but when she heard Yun Ze, she couldn't help but stroke her palms and smile:
"Very good, this princess is feeling that there are more people in this house, so let's go out for a walk."
Mrs. Anpinghou breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but be proud, Princess Jiahe loved Ze'er so much, as long as Ze'er was there in the future, she wouldn't have to worry about anything.
Then, she looked around the hall and named out the young ladies of all the houses:
"Miss Cheng, Miss Maγ......γ Miss Jiang, you little girls will accompany the two Highnesses to have fun together."
As soon as the words fell, several girls walked out, Mingyue glanced at Mrs. Jiang with a smile, and after seeing her nodding slightly, she also walked out.
Princess Jiahe, who had been half a beat slower, finally remembered a rather familiar surname among the many young ladies: "Miss Jiang? β
Hearing the puzzled voice of Princess Dejiahe, Mrs. Anpinghou's heart jumped, and she almost thought that the princess knew that she had discussed the matter of her children's family affairs with the Jiang Mansion.
But after thinking about it, there are very few people who know about this matter, and Princess Jiahe will never know, Mrs. Anpinghou was relieved, and introduced to Princess Jiahe with a smiling face:
"Her Royal Highness the Princess, do you know this Miss Jiang? This is Miss Jiang from Jiang Langzhong's mansionβ"
"Bright Moon!" Princess Jiarou suddenly interrupted Mrs. Anpinghou's introduction.
Mingyue had slowly walked out of the crowd and stood in front of the two princesses.
Princess Jiahe already understood her identity, thinking that this was the girl who was almost married to Yun Ze, and she was still so charming, and a fire of jealousy suddenly ignited in her heart, and she was staring at her with good eyes at this time.
Princess Jiarou didn't notice Princess Jiahe's eyes, she only smiled at Mingyue, and then explained to Mrs. Anpinghou:
"We met at the flower viewing banquet in Qingning, by the way, the third sister was also there at that time."
Mrs. Anping Hou breathed a sigh of relief, and said tentatively: "I see, Princess Jiarou and Miss Jiang seem to have a good relationship. β
Princess Jiarou smiled slightly: "Miss Jiang and Qingning have a good relationship, before Qingning left Beijing, she specially asked me to take care of her." β
Princess Jiahe snorted softly at this time: "A daughter who has a broken family is also worthy of being treated like this." β
Princess Jiarou's face changed, and she was about to fight back, but she heard Mingyue on the side say: "What His Royal Highness said is wrong, the ancestor was the first assistant of the dynasty during his lifetime, and the emperor praised him as the pillar of the country; Although my father's official rank is not high, he is also a Jinshi of my dynasty, Da Qi Qian and Tanhualang for five years.
Although the Jiang family is not noble, in several generations, there have been several ministers of the humerus, and there are still people who serve in the court. β
Princess Jiarou applauded in her heart, and she did not hide her appreciation for Mingyue at the moment: "What Miss Jiang said is very reasonable. Who doesn't know the talent of the predecessor Jiang Shoufu? The Jiang family is a well-deserved family, and no one can erase the name of the Jiang family. β
