Chapter 2
When a few girls were talking, another big girl came in when she heard the rain, and first blessed the fourth girl and the second girl, and said with a smile: "Fourth girl, second girl, fifth girl is good." ”
The fourth, fifth, and second girls all nodded.
So this Tingyu stepped forward and said to Ah Yan with a smile:
"Girl, Mrs. Su Ri ordered that she should give the girl a white fungus bird's nest soup every day. The girl has been weak these days, and I specially ordered the kitchen to add a few wolfberries to it, and the girl will use it now, right?"
Ayan nodded reservedly.
Opened the bead curtain, listened to the rain and raised his hand to beckon a few little maids to come in, all of them were the same plain skirts, or holding dust, gargles, towels and other things, or holding a spoon.
At that moment, Ah Yan beckoned the fourth girl and the second girl to sit on the chair next to her, and only then did she rinse her mouth and wipe her lips under the service of Tingyu and Xiqing. At this time, Tingyu and Xiqing were two, one holding a spoon and the other holding the bird's nest soup, serving Ah Yan from the side and eating.
For a while, there were maids serving tea, and several girls were drinking tea from the side, watching Ayan eat the bowl of bird's nest soup.
The fifth girl is a few months younger than the fourth girl, just turned six years old, and she doesn't grow up with her wife like the fourth girl, her eyelids are shallow, and she is drinking this tea at this time, but she frowned and said: "Second sister, your tea is inevitably too light, and I don't drink as fragrant as the eldest lady." ”
When Ah Yan heard this, he smiled lightly and ignored it.
This fifth girl, the girl from the big house, has been following the fourth girl's ass since she was a child. When they grew up, the four girls first became the side concubines of King Rong, and when the Nine Emperor Princes ascended the throne, she was named the imperial concubine, and these five girls didn't know how to be arrogant. Later, I went to Rongwang's Mansion to ask for the four girls, and these five girls were really good at burying themselves, and they just wanted to step into the mud.
That smug face, Ah Yan can't forget.
Hearing the words of the fifth girl, the fourth girl pursed her lips and tasted the tea, and said with a smile: "Although the fragrance of this tea is not strong, it has its own elegance. ”
Ah Yan had just been reborn, and he didn't know what the tea was, so he swept away Xiqing.
With a gentle smile, Xiqing stepped forward and said:
"A few days ago, the young master came to the house and brought a few tea cakes, and the third lady said that it was good to drink, and the ordinary Ya'an dew buds were stopped these days, but they drank this. ”
The so-called young master is the cousin of Ayan's family, surnamed Gu, named Yizhi, who is six years older than Ayan.
Looking down at the smell of tea, the four girls didn't know what to say.
Ya'an Luya was already excellent, and in previous years, it was made as tribute tea. Now it's good, these three rooms even dislike Na Ya'an Luya.
The group of tea I am drinking now is not an ordinary group tea, and it is difficult to say that it is not a rare good variety like Longtuan Shengxue.
And when the fifth girl heard what she said just now, she was reckless, she didn't know good things, and her face was a little red at the moment.
After a few girls drank tea, the five girls couldn't sit still, and proposed to the four girls: "Fourth sister, I've been here for so long, I'm afraid that the eldest lady is worried about you, why don't we go back?"
The fourth girl thought about it, so she got up and said goodbye with a smile.
Ah Yan didn't stop them, but smiled innocently: "Second sister, fourth sister, fifth sister, you have to come over to play when you have time." ”
Stepping forward with a smile, the fourth girl held Ayan's hand and said: "The eldest lady said that the eldest sister has sent a post in the past few days, saying that the weather will be warm in a few days, and she will invite us to play in the palace, and the third sister will go together at that time." ”
The eldest girl in the house is also the eldest lady's concubine, and last year she married the fourth son of the current saint, King Ning, and is Princess Ning.
Nodding and smiling, Ah Yan said with surprise on his face: "Really, then the fourth sister will have to talk to the eldest lady, remember to take me, you can't leave me behind." ”
The fourth girl smiled and nodded: "That's natural, no one can leave the third sister behind." At that time, the third sister will have to dress up. As he spoke, he glanced at the makeup box next to him without a trace, and there was a smile in his eyes.
Nodding vigorously, Ayan smiled, "That's nature." You can't embarrass our government. ”
After the sisters left, Ah Yan carefully recalled the things in the lower house.
Nowadays, there are three rooms in the Jingguo Mansion, and the big room and the second room are all from the ancestors today, and they have always been loved by the ancestors, so it is needless to say. Only his three rooms are concubines, and he has never been pleasing in the house over the years.
My father married my mother and entered the door, and my mother didn't know how to entertain in this mansion, and on weekdays, she was covered with gold and silver and made a poor and rich nouveau riche look, but let others look down on her, and in private I don't know how much of a joke, and how much jealousy and envy.
Later, after my father went, my mother became more and more difficult in the house, orphans and widows, guarding gold and silver, but like a child holding gold bricks in the downtown area. You remember that her family seems to have been gradually defeated since she was about ten years old, and her mother was no longer so generous. Later, Ah Yan married Shen Congjia when he was fifteen years old, and the marriage was not the slightest decent.
Ah Yan knew that it was not that his mother didn't love him, but that his mother really had no money.
And just a few years after he married into the Shen family, his mother went like that, and his brother married a bad woman, and the husband and wife made a fuss every day that they almost overturned the roof, and the family was even more depressed. So much so that in the end, he actually asked Ah Yan to take some silver subsidies from his private house, which indirectly caused Ah Yan and Shen Congjia to become increasingly estranged, and finally Ah Yan died alone in the back house.
Ah Yan was thinking about it, but Xiqing came over from the side and whispered, "Girl, in a few days, you really have to go to King Ning's Mansion with the eldest lady?"
With a smile, Ayan sat on the chair and said lightly: "That's nature, why don't you go?"
Xiqing's face was embarrassed, and she wanted to say something, but she didn't know how to speak.
Ah Yan looked back at Xiqing, but she understood in her heart.
Xiqing is now thirteen or fourteen years old, although she has a gentle and gentle temperament, she is actually extremely intelligent and sees everything in her eyes. Now these four girls invited themselves to Ning Wangfu, and they wanted to dress up on their own, obviously to see themselves ugly.
It's okay to be dressed in gold and silver in your own home, but when you arrive at King Ning's Mansion, what kind of family is that, that is the royal style, and the degree of food and clothing is naturally different from theirs. And this Princess Ning obviously invited not only their family, but also the family members of the other princes, all of whom had sharp eyes.
In front of these people, with Ah Yan's golden head, I am afraid that he is not going to laugh to death.
Only this once, from now on, the reputation of the three girls in the Jingguo Mansion is about to spread.
It's just that these words, even if she is a big girl, it is inconvenient to say.
Ah Yan's eyes swept over Xiqing, and the light in those eyes carried a little pity and gratitude.
When Xiqing saw it, she was stunned, and vaguely felt that her eyes didn't seem to be a nine-year-old girl now, but she looked at herself like a woman who had seen through the world.
Smile with open lips, revealing an innocent smile, Ah Yan said to Xiqing: "Sister Xiqing, I know that you are good for me, and I am also grateful in my heart." Only this time, I'm going. ”
The reason why Ah Yan had to go to this Ning Wangfu was because of another matter.
King Ning is the fourth son of the current emperor, and now he has just reached the crown, given the title King Ning, opened a mansion, and married his own eldest girl as a princess. Now this King Ning does not have any heirs under his knees, but has a younger brother, the Nine Emperor Sons.
It is said that as a prince, he should naturally live in the palace. But since the birth of the Nine Emperor Princes, the mother concubine has gone, and he himself is weak, and the emperor takes pity on this son, so he wants to find a concubine to raise the Nine Emperor Princes.
However, King Ning, who was fourteen years old at the time, was reluctant to give up his younger brother no matter what, and the emperor couldn't, so he let the nine princes live with King Ning, who was the fourth prince at the time. Later, King Ning went out of the palace to open the mansion, and King Ning, who regarded the Nine Emperors as his sons, brought the Nine Emperors out of the palace together.
Later, the crown prince was deposed and deposed, the second prince was an unsuccessful person, the third prince and the fourth prince competed for the throne, and finally the fourth prince ascended the throne, and the ninth prince was the Rong King favored by Long En.
After being King Rong for so many years, King Ning, who became the emperor, got a serious illness and died. King Ning, who did not have a prince, passed on the throne to his younger brother King Rong, who regarded him as a son.
Later, these four girls entered the palace and became the imperial concubines of the Nine Emperors, I don't know how much scenery there is. It is also because of this that the emperor has a lot of courtesy to the Jingguo Mansion, and even benefits his brother who is not angry.
Now the Nine Emperor Princes are actually just a six-year-old child, the same age as the four girls, but three years younger than Ah Yan.
Ah Yan naturally couldn't have the heart to hook up with a six-year-old child.
However, it's okay to take the opportunity to brush up on your favor, right?
Now I'm afraid no one will think of all kinds of changes in the future, if she takes advantage of the relationship with the six princes now, she will also end up with a childhood sweetheart, and he will ascend the throne as the emperor in the future, and he will always see a little face.
Just when Ah Yan was making such a plan, Ah Yan's mother, the third wife, hurriedly entered the door. I sighed as soon as I entered the door.
Ah Yan stepped forward with a smile and squeezed into the arms of the third lady coquettishly: "Mother, why do you sigh as soon as you come?"
Reborn in a lifetime, looking at his mother in his memory and who has been dead for more than ten years, Ayan is not unmoved. Now he is enjoying the family affection he picked up, and he is wantonly coquettish in the arms of the third wife.
"Mother beat you so much, why don't you use it? Looking at this body, it's too cold. The third lady touched Ah Yan's soft hair, but saw that Ah Yan was plain.
"Mother, don't ask this yet, just say how can my mother sigh? Isn't this just coming back from the old ancestor, isn't it that the old ancestor is angry with my mother again?"
"It's not the ancestor, it's just the eldest lady, but she went to me and discussed something. I'm wondering whether I should or shouldn't. The third lady sighed again and said with a frown.
"What did the eldest lady say, mother, come on, didn't you talk about the matter of Ning Wangfu?" Feeling strange in his heart, Ah Yan pretended to be inadvertent, hugging the third wife's neck and coquettishly.
Looking at the daughter in her arms, the third lady swept away Shicai's heart, smiled and pinched her daughter's good-looking little nose, but said:
"Your kid's family, originally just wanted to go to King Ning's Mansion to play. What I sigh now is a big deal. ”
did not hide her daughter at the moment, and the third wife said:
"Naturally, you don't know, but I also understand that now in the Guogong Mansion, there is a big empty shelf, which looks bright on the outside, but in fact, it has been much less in the past few years, and it has caught up with the poor harvest of the villagers last year, and the inside is very tight. Last month's monthly money was delayed for several days. ”
Thinking of the bleakness when he got married in the previous life, and thinking about his mother's later death, and how the eldest sister and the fourth sister treated him later, Ah Yan couldn't help but sneer in his heart, and said at the moment:
"Even if you are poor, what can you do, is it possible to use your mother's dowry to make up for it. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Ah Yan's eyes suddenly widened.
In the last life, in just a few years, how could my mother's dowry be gone.
How the hell didn't it happen?
