Chapter 7: Shocked by the sound of gunshots
Xu Jiao just didn't hear it, and combed her hair by the girl.
Dong'er brought rouge gouache, lowered her eyebrows and said pleasing to her eyes: "Niangniang, the slave maid will put on makeup for you." ”
Xu Jiao stretched out her hand and said, "Let's go out, I'll come by myself." ”
Dong'er looked at her, stopped talking, and finally turned around and went out, taking away the two girls who had tied her hair for her.
Xu Jiao stretched out her hand and patted her face to make herself a little more sober, and then picked up the eyebrow ink and gently swept it on her eyebrows......
Zhao Yin sat next to her and looked at her, suddenly frowned and sighed, and the makeup didn't stop, so he said with a cold face: "Okay?" How long do you want your concubine to wait? ”
Xu Jiao pouted, love concubine and concubine! Protecting your concubine like this, I hope you don't come to me again from now on, look for your concubine!
The movement in his hand stopped, turned his head and said with a smile: "Okay, let them in." ”
Zhao Yin looked at her face and found that this girl didn't wear makeup at all except for adding a little dark color to her eyebrows, but her little face was porcelain white and porcelain-white, a pair of big eyes flickered and looked at herself, her small mouth was slightly upturned, and she looked flattering, but it was not ugly.
The mood is slightly better.
Next, several of Zhao Yin's "concubines" came to bow to her.
Xu Jiao sat firmly in the chair and took it. Then he said a few words, and then he wanted to send someone away.
Zhao Yin said: "Mei'er, you are older than the princess, teach her how to be a housewife, and in a month, she will be entrusted with the management of everything in the house." ”
The concubine named Mei'er hurriedly answered in a low voice.
Xu Jiao looked at the "Mei'er" in front of her without a trace, and couldn't help but praise it secretly in her heart.
I saw that this women's double is ten years old, with a graceful posture, a waist and limbs, curling like a spring willow in March, speaking softly and softly, not to mention men, Xu Jiao feels that she has been hooked by her, no wonder this cold-looking Nine Princes will carry people back with three hundred and sixty bride price.
Xu Jiao got the message from Zhao Yin's words, this woman is now the head of the Nine Kings Mansion!
With his current self, he didn't dare to offend, and hurriedly said: "Lord, the concubine thinks it's still not necessary, just let Sister Mei'er take care of it, the concubine is afraid that she will be stupid, and she can't manage this huge palace, let alone ......"
Biting his lip, he looked at Zhao Yin: "What does the prince think?" ”
Zhao Yin naturally knew that her "what's more" was about being divorced by herself after two years, and looked at her lightly and said, "In this case, Mei'er will take care of it for the princess." ”
The other two concubines, one named Huang Ying and the other Xiang'er, looked at Xu Jiao and smiled provocatively, and said deliberately sourly: "The princess is really a blessing, she was loved by the prince when she first came to the house, and she was reluctant to let the mother take care of the account, this is because she is afraid that the mother will be tired, right?" ”
Xu Jiao just pretended that she didn't hear it, smiled faintly, and sent a few people away, and there was a faint laughter of a few people outside the door.
Zhao Yin turned his head to look at her: "As long as you stay here in peace, you can guarantee that you will not be sad." ”
Xu Jiao pouted in her heart, you can guarantee it! His face made a look of gratitude.
Zhao Yin continued: "There are no elders on the master, you don't have to serve your in-laws, stay in the backyard well, the master will not treat you badly in the past two years, and you will not be allowed to leave the palace without the lord's order in the future, and your master in this courtyard will not let people come in and disturb at will, the master still has something to do, go." ”
Xu Jiao is finally anxious, this guy is going to lock himself up!
This is worth it, being locked up, how can my great ideals be realized!!
Hurriedly shouted at him: "Lord, lord, you can't lock me up!" ”……
Zhao Yin walked faster and faster, and he didn't look back.
Xu Jiao chased to the door and was stopped by the guards, so she had to sigh.
Seeing that it was noon, Xu Jiao was so angry that she couldn't do it, what was the matter with this guy? Is it possible that there is still official business on a happy day? It's clear that I want to avoid myself!
walked around the yard a few times, and finally let the anger in his heart disappear a little, and turned his head and ordered Dong'er: "I want to eat!" ”
Dong'er hurriedly went to the stove room to prepare a meal for her.
After eating, Xu Jiao began to wander around the courtyard to eliminate food, by the way, planning for the future, now that she is locked up, how can she give birth to silver and let herself live a small life in the future!
There is also Xu Wenyang, is he going to go out of Beijing? What did Zhao Yin mean by that last night? Also, how did he marry into the palace, the more I think about it, the more I can't figure it out......
Xu Jiao picked her hair irritably, and sat on the stone behind the rockery in the courtyard angrily. She has been "locked up" for two days now!
The scenery in this palace courtyard is chic, Xu Jiao has never been to other courtyards, but the main courtyard where she lives is very exquisite.
In the northwest corner is a huge walnut tree, the body of the tree is more than ten meters high, it seems to be twenty or thirty years old, the branches and leaves on it are luxuriant, and the annual walnut production must be quite abundant.
On both sides of the courtyard gate are all kinds of precious flowers and plants, but Xu Jiao doesn't recognize it, only to hear Dong'er say that those peonies are the best in flowers, and one is worth a few years of life for ordinary people.
Xu Jiao only knows that orchids are precious, and once remembered seeing a news in the newspaper, saying that a flower lover actually spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy an orchid! However, she was not interested in this, but the few little girls who served in the courtyard were very careful, staring at them all the time, for fear of being plagued by insects, and they came and went to look at it for a while before stopping.
The middle of the courtyard is divided into several pieces, there are a few pomegranates, and two or three plum blossoms, and the others are some ordinary flowers and plants, Xu Jiao doesn't like them.
In her opinion, it is better to build two grape trellises and plant two green leeks.
Then there is the place where I sit, this is a good place, next to the rockery more than two meters high is a row of hibiscus, hibiscus branches make a tree-lined path. Behind is a small pond, the pond water is clear and rippling, two old willows hanging with long willow branches by the pond, swinging in the wind, like a natural curtain, very artistic conception.
Surrounding the rockery is an artificial stream, which is poured in by the water from the pond, gurgling and flowing, and it seems to cleanse people's minds when you close your eyes and listen to it.
This is the most satisfying place for Xu Jiao in this courtyard, no, avoid people here to wash her troubles.
A few bits of sunlight came out of the cracks in the hibiscus, and the spots sprinkled on Xu Jiao's body, making her a little drowsy.
In a daze, I suddenly heard a noise from the wall, followed by a faint voice.
Xu Jiao opened her eyes fiercely, extremely surprised. Vaguely she seemed to hear someone talking in English!
The voice gradually got closer and closer to herself, Xu Jiao heard it clearly, and the other party was really arguing something in English!
For a moment, I wondered, are there people from Western countries who come to this place? Thinking about it again, too, didn't the Tang Dynasty also have envoys from the ocean.
So, I leaned on the hibiscus vine and continued to take a nap.
However, as soon as he closed his eyes, there was a loud noise next to him, which startled Xu Jiaoteng and jumped up and shouted: "Who shot?" ”
After shouting, I was shocked, how could there be gunshots in this place?
