Chapter 17 Greeting
The husband and wife discussed, and finally decided not to let Jiang Huiying go to the Fuling County Lord's Mansion to go to the women's school in advance - to put it on hold, even if the prince deliberately promoted the king of Huijun, but it would not even interfere in the dispute between the granddaughters. The girls under the knees of King Huijun dared to bully Jiang Huiying, and Qiu Lulan dared to come to the door to settle accounts with Chu Yitong!
But now it's different.
King Huijun made such a big concession to Jiang Yashuang, but as a result, the Chongjun Wangfu also had to count the contradictions between the younger children, which is too shameless, right?
Even the people on Jiang Yashuang's side have to doubt the strength and character of Jiang Yashuang and his wife.
So: "Let's coax Ying'er to stay at home for another year, and if you are bored, take her to her brother and brother-in-law to walk around...... I remember that Guoguo is also three years old, and next year she will be four years old, so she will be able to enroll in school with Ying'er? It's much better to have a companion then. ”
Qiu Yulan felt very regretful: "If the eldest daughter of my brother and sister-in-law hadn't died, she would have been four years old this year, but she didn't have to wait until next year, Ying'er would be able to have a companion now." ”
"When my brother and sister-in-law came back, didn't the imperial doctor say that my sister-in-law would be fine for a year or two to recuperate?" Jiang Yashuang comforted, "It's been two years since I counted the days, and I think my sister-in-law will have good news soon." ”
This matter was settled like this, Jiang Huiying was just a child when she was unhappy, and the aggrieved tears on her cheeks didn't dry, Jiang Yashuang carried her to the open space in the backyard and put a kite, and immediately clapped her hands and laughed again.
"Let's just coax it from now on!" Accompanying the child is a physical job, but half a day of family fun, when Jiang Yashuang rested at night, he was still tired, and said lazily, "Jue'er and Xuan'er are much better, and occasionally you can let Ying'er take them to play in the yard." ”
Jiang Jingjue and Jiang Jingxuan are also three years old now, and they have been damaged and prematurely born in the womb, growing slowly and often getting sick. Therefore, when Jiang Jinglang and Jiang Huiying were three years old, they were already running all over the courtyard so that the servants did not have time to stop all day long, but the two brothers could only be raised by Sven.
However, Jiang Yashuang and his wife didn't have any complaints, after all, the situation of the twins in swaddling clothes was so bad that they were secretly prepared for not being able to keep them. I can hold on until now, and there are still signs of improvement, and I am already satisfied.
"After a few years, Jue'er and Xuan'er will get better, I'm afraid our house will be full of excitement - boys are always naughty!" Qiu Yulan pillowed her husband's arm and chuckled, "It's not quiet for us Ying'er. Child! ”
"So what does it matter? Although this county king's mansion is a little smaller than the mansions of the starling brother and the sixteenth brother, it is already very big for our family. Wouldn't it be lonely if there were no children running and jumping? Jiang Yashuang grabbed her hair and played around her fingers, and said softly, "Let's be busy, listen to their noisy energy and feel more relaxed!" ”
At this time, the sound of the third watch was heard in the distance, and Qiu Yulan hurriedly pushed her husband: "Sleep!" Ming'er's sixteenth brother and his family arrived in Beijing, and we have to go to greet them! ”
King Jingjun's family returned to Beijing this time because of King Jingjun's personal health problems, and it was not an official matter, so although the government and the opposition knew that he was back, there was no need to hold any ceremony for his return - this was the scope of the Jiang family's private affairs.
And King Jingjun has always been very inconspicuous within the Jiang family, and there is not much friendship among the elders of his generation, and he is the bottom of the ranking. Even though he has returned from thousands of miles now, only his younger brother and brother-in-law in the same room greet him.
…… From a distance, in addition to the entourage in the long pavilion, the only serious owners are Jiang Yashuang, Qiu Yulan, and a little girl with snowy skin and black hair, and there is no one to greet him, four-year-old Jiang Jinggui asked ignorantly: "Mother, didn't you say that there are many uncles and elders in the capital, and there are many brothers and sisters?" Why aren't there a lot of people over there? ”
Sheng Shushui smiled and touched his head: "They are all busy, this will not come, when we go to the East Palace to meet your grandfather and grandmother, we will see you sooner or later!" ”
mentioned going to the East Palace to meet the crown prince and princess, Jiang Jinggui also gave up, but Jiang Huihuan, who was slowly eating candied fruit, frowned, revealing a touch of reluctance: "Mother, do you have to go?" ”
"What are you talking about?" Sheng Shushui gently reproached, "We have come back from thousands of miles, how can we not go to see the elders?" ”
She also knew that her daughter said this for a reason: in the past few years in Northern Xinjiang, she was scared to see the princess's face - Jiang Jinggui didn't understand it at a young age, nine-year-old Jiang Huihuan was already a little adult at this time, and when she was in Northern Xinjiang, she followed her mother all day long and tremblingly served in front of her grandmother, and there was no day that was easy!
When the crown prince took the princess back to Beijing, Jiang Huihuan was simply happy, who would have thought that he had only been happy for a few days, and he was going to visit his grandmother again, thinking about the days before, Jiang Huihuan felt like crying without tears!
After all, one of the Jingjun Wang and his wife is a concubine, and they have been snubbed since childhood; Although a biological mother is in the main room, her life experience is more embarrassing than that of a concubine, and she has been under the fence since she was a child. They are all very self-aware people, in front of the powerful princess, they are very happy not to be deliberately troubled by her, and they really don't take it to heart with a little face and unpleasant words - if they have to take care of grievances at this level, they would have been angry to death!
But Jiang Huihuan is different, she is a concubine!
Father's love and mother's love grew up, and both parents became sweethearts and souls - but they were worthless in the eyes of their grandmothers!
It's strange that Jiang Huihuan is willing to see the crown princess!
After listening to her mother's words, she felt that Su Ri's favorite candied fruit was not in the mood to eat it, so she handed over the remaining candied fruit to the maid to clean up, wiped her hands with a handkerchief, and said dejectedly: "The daughter that the mother said also knows." Just thinking about meeting my grandmother makes me panic! ”
"Not necessarily!" Sheng Shushui looked at Jiang Yashuang and his wife, who had clearly appeared in sight, his eyes turned on Jiang Huiying, who was pulling his father's robe and looking at the convoy curiously, and said softly, "When you were in Northern Xinjiang, your grandfather and grandmother were only served by our family, and it was inconvenient for outsiders to say anything. But now your eighth aunt and your nineteenth aunt are here, and your current eighth aunt doesn't talk about it, but your nineteenth aunt has always been very good with her as a mother. Now she is here with your nineteenth uncle and twenty-third sister, and she will definitely accompany us to the East Palace to meet you later! ”
"With their mother and daughter here, they will definitely give us a round, and your grandmother won't be very embarrassed for us!"
Jiang Huihuan breathed a sigh of relief and said happily: "Really?!" But her grandmother ...... "Pity her, the daughter of a concubine, watching the princess's face grow up, I can't believe that I can easily pass the test in front of this grandmother."
Sheng Shushui felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and couldn't help but look at Jiang Huiying from the gap in the curtain - this niece is ranked after her daughter, and she is only five years old this year, and she looks pampered, and she is definitely not as well-behaved and interesting as her own daughter in front of the crown princess, but what is the use of this? Who calls himself such a mother-in-law, it's not that everything is gone!
It doesn't matter how good you are, how sensible you are!
"Don't worry, your nineteenth aunt is very much loved by your grandmother...... Speaking of which, she liked you very much when you were a baby, and she would hug you often! I won't leave you alone! After comforting her daughter again, the carriage happened to stop, she hurriedly patted her son who was lying on her lap, raised her hand to lift the curtain, and smiled happily at Qiu Yulan, who was leading her daughter over: "Nineteen brothers and sisters!" I'm really tired of you guys to pick us up in person? ”
"I haven't seen you for a few years, but the sixteenth sister-in-law has seen outside?" Qiu Yulan gently pulled her daughter's hand and scolded with a smile, "I've asked hundreds of times, why doesn't my sixteenth aunt speak when I see you now?" ”
Jiang Huiying is not a person who can have stage fright by nature, so she will let go of her mother's hand generously, stepped forward and saluted, and greeted sweetly: "Hello Sixteen Aunt!" Twenty-one sisters and eighteen brothers are fine! Aunt and sister and brother are hard on the road? ”
"Good boy, how are you! No matter how hard the road is, it won't be hard to listen to your question! This Hui Sheng Shuishui had already left the carriage, and he was helped down by Qiu Xuanlan, and watched his subordinates wait for a pair of children to get out of the car, and leaned over with a smile and nodded Jiang Huiying's pink cheeks, "These eyebrows!" I don't know what color it is! ”
joked to Qiu Yulan, "I used to think that your appearance is alluring to the country and the city, and it is very good to have one in hundreds of years." Who thinks that Ying'er is a little blue and better than blue: don't blame me for destroying your majesty as soon as I look at your face, I really think Ying'er is more beautiful than you when she grows up! ”
Qiu Yulan smiled and said, "Sixteenth sister-in-law, you have been gone for several years, and you still don't know, right?" Don't wait for Ying'er to grow up, the nineteenth disciple Lu He, who said that the daughter-in-law who will pass in the second half of the year, has already covered me! ”
In fact, Fan Sulian's appearance is only at the same level as Qiu Yulan, due to the age gap, the former is still a young girl's youth, and the latter is now a young woman's style.
When Qiu Yulan said this, she naturally promoted herself as a prospective apprentice daughter-in-law - she has four children, and she is still in love with her husband, whether she is recognized as the first beauty is really not important to her, it is better to give a name to the younger generation she likes: "Not to mention the child's appearance, the most rare thing is that she has a gentle and virtuous temperament, I was not as good-tempered as her when I was young!" ”
Sheng Shushui was shocked when he heard this: "In addition to the daughter you gave birth to, there is anyone in this world who can compare with you in beauty?" In fact, she was deliberately pretending to be surprised, just to emphasize that Qiu Yulan's appearance was good enough - after all, Sheng Shushui herself is a woman, and she is not a serious face control party, a young and beautiful girl or something, how can she be so interested?
Qiu Yulan also understood - Sheng Shushui gave her face like this, of course she also wanted to reciprocate, looked at Jiang Huihuan, who was standing dignified with a handkerchief next to her, and said with a smile: "There are talented people in the country, and now that my eldest son has entered school, what else do you say is beautiful...... It's Huan'er, I haven't seen it all these years, and now it's really like a flower, and this delicate appearance really makes me feel old! ”
Just praised each other and each other's children, used a little food in the long pavilion, and the two families made a team, and returned to the city to pay homage to the East Palace - because of the company of Qiu Yulan's mother and daughter, Sheng Shushui was still relatively relaxed about this visit to his mother-in-law.
As a result, people are not as good as heaven: when they arrived at the East Palace, they let people go in, and they didn't go to the front hall or the back hall separately, and the number of horses galloped over, jumped off the horse at the gate of the East Palace, and rushed to the door without saying hello - the leader was King Huijun!
"Starling?!" The two brothers who were still waiting for the prince to summon them here were surprised, and they both greeted them and asked, "Starling is in such a hurry, but there is something important?" ”
"You two just arrived? That's just right! Come with me to my father! King Huijun was sweating profusely, and he raised his sleeves to wipe all the way, and when he saw his two younger brothers without saying a word, he ordered, "There is a big incident in the south!" ”
