Chapter 20: Mother's Family (II)
After lunch, Zhang Jia's family had just retired from serving the subordinates, and Junxian immediately went to Huizhu's side. Hye-joo looked at the naughty Junxian and smiled: "It's all big children, why do you get coquettish when you see your subordinates leaving." ”
"Sister, I just miss you, do you know, since you married into Baylor Mansion for more than a month, E-Niang has to go to the house where my sister used to live every day at home to have a look." Junxian said, and threw himself into Huizhu's arms and said sullenly: "Sister, I heard the grandmother in the house say that our family has no title, and Ama has a low official position, so you can only be a character when you marry into the prince's mansion, and you can't even go home?" Sister, wait for me for a few years, I must be a general, and then earn military merits and get a knighthood, then no one will dare to bully my sister in the prince's mansion, and she can often go home. ”
Huizhu saw that the teenage Junxian was so for her, really, she really had a lot, so she couldn't help but look at Junxian more lovingly, and said with a smile: "Okay, my sister knows that our family's virtuous brother is a man, and he can protect my sister." However, although my sister is a character in the Four Baylor Mansion, no one bullies me. However, my sister is a married daughter after all, and she can't often go back to her parents' house, so you have to listen to Ama Eniang's words and do your filial piety for your sister. ”
Zhang Jiashi looked at the sister and brother in front of him with relief, and said with a smile in his eyes: "Okay, E-niang knows that you are both well-behaved, ......"
Before he could say a word, he suddenly saw Mama Zhao come back to reinstate: "Mrs. Hui, the slave has arranged for the aunt and grandmother to bring people according to your instructions; This is the Baylor Mansion gift list handed over by Zhang De's father-in-law. As he spoke, he handed the gift list to Zhang Jia's family.
Zhang Jiashi looked at the gift and said: "Huizhu, these three sola satin are made by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and even this coral bonsai is extremely rare, why did you bring it back?" ”
"Eniang, Fu Jin is generous, these are all gifts that Fu Jin asked his daughter to take back, and her daughter postponed it at first, but it's really not good to make Fu Jin unhappy for this; Besides, the three solo satin is rare for ordinary people, but there are many more in this prince's mansion, and this year Fujin also gave us those who were on the jade plate, and used the materials rewarded from the palace to make winter jackets and leather skirts to wear during the New Year; There is also coral bonsai, which we look at as good, but in fact, in the eyes of the royal clansmen, it is also placed outside to add some festivity. Even if E-Niang accepts it, it's good to take the materials to make clothes for you and Amma. Huizhu looked at Zhang Jiashi, who was a little worried, and comforted.
After hearing this, Zhang Jiashi thought about it, and Fang said: "E-niang, aren't you worried about you, you send this good thing home, in case you cause some gossip in Baylor Mansion, it's not good." Alas, forget it, just take it, these four blessings are generous. After speaking, he looked at Junxian, who was sitting on the chair and walked around, and said, "Little splash monkey, I know that you can't sit still, go out and play, and your sister and I will also say something close to yourself." ”
Junxian got the order and walked out in one go. Mama Zhao wanted to leave the mother and daughter alone, so she went out of the back room and closed the door outside the house intimately.
At this time, there were only Zhang Jia's and Hui Zhu in the house.
Huizhu knelt down in front of Zhang Jia's and said, "Eniang, my daughter has made you worry, it's my daughter who is not filial." As he spoke, he lay on Zhang Jia's lap and sobbed slightly.
Zhang Jiashi touched Huizhu's head lovingly, helped her up and said: "What are you doing kneeling on the ground in the winter, today is your birthday, my Huizhu is also thirteen years old and married, what a big girl." Don't talk about this, you tell Eniang honestly, is he good to you, but he still pities you, I went to your few times, I heard that the Nian side Fujin who entered the house this time is very favored? ”
Huizhu looked at Zhang Jiashi who was concerned, and couldn't help muttering a little in her heart, and replied with a slightly red face: "Eniang, my lord is good to me, the rules in the house are big, as long as I keep to myself, I will live freely." The lord does favor the year side of Fujin, but the daughter is not here, thinking that it is better to let everything go naturally. ”
Zhang Jiashi said helplessly: "Alas, I know you, and I don't know if it is a curse or a blessing to enter the prince's mansion with your temperament." E-Niang knows that no matter how much she says, you won't be able to listen, and it's really difficult for you to compete for favor. However, you will have to stay in Sibeile Mansion for the rest of your life in the future, and it is even more difficult for this childless woman to live in the back house, no matter what you think, it is only right to have a child. Everyone thinks that marrying into the royal family is climbing the high branch, but is the high branch easy to climb, just our small family, you fight me and I harm you, not to mention the four Baylor Mansion. ”
Saying that, Zhang Jiashi suddenly sighed again: "E-Niang really hopes that you can find an ordinary family, do you remember Fucha Mansion, a few days after you got married, I took Zhang's mother and daughter to Shangxiang, who knew that I met Mrs. Fucha and her son, her son fell in love with Huiya's girl, this is not half a month ago, Lord Fucha came to propose, your aunt maybe, ready to marry Huiya to the child as the main room." That kid is a good person, and a few days ago he was promoted to the sixth rank at a young age; Huiya is a concubine, and this marriage is a daughter-in-law, who can make her angry? This is fate, but my Huizhu wants to be a concubine, and she can't even reach a side room, and no one even remembers her birthday. Okay, okay, E-niang won't talk about it, today is a festive day for you to go back to your parents' house to have your birthday, don't say it, don't say it, say something happy. ”
Mother, don't worry about your daughter, your daughter is really comfortable in Baylor House. My daughter embroiders and writes every day, and she lives very comfortably, so she specially made a few pairs of insoles and purses and jackets for you and Amma. By the way, the third sister has decided on someone's house, and the daughter will go to congratulate him later. Huizhu said.
Zhang Jiashi talked to Huizhu for most of the time, and seeing that Ling Zhu was about to go on a bad trip, in order to let Huizhu return to Baylor Mansion at Shen Shi (15 o'clock to 17 o'clock), he went to prepare dinner early. Huizhu saw that Zhang Jiashi was busy, so she picked out two handkerchiefs, two purses, and the silver-gilded emerald inlaid sapphire hairpin and Dongzhu soft bracelet she wore when she came, wrapped them in a box, and walked towards the east wing of the side courtyard where Huiya lived.
In the inner room, I saw Hui Ya sitting on the embroidery pier with a sweet face embroidering a purse, and Hui Zhu immediately felt that this was not the demeanor of a woman in love?
When Huiya saw Huizhu, she hurriedly stuffed the purse in her hand into the basket, got up and said, "My sister wanted to go to my sister, but I didn't go because I thought that my sister wanted to talk to Eniang, but I didn't expect my sister to come to my sister in person." Sit down, sit down, I'll ask Yahuan to pour you tea. ”
Huizhu put down the box in her hand, sat on another embroidery pier, picked up Huiya's half-embroidered purse and quipped: "Where is the false courtesy between sisters, but well, the purse embroidered by my sister just now is for a man, is it embroidered for the eldest brother?" It doesn't look like it, it's strange. ”
Hui Ya's face flushed when she heard this, and when she was speechless, she suddenly heard Hui Zhu snort and laugh, Fang found that she had been fooled, and couldn't help blushing even more, so she simply turned around and ignored Hui Zhu.
Seeing that Huizhu was almost there, she pulled Huiya over and smiled: "Okay, my sister can't pay here." My sister also heard that you promised to marry at Eniang, so I guessed if you were embroidering a purse for my future brother-in-law. Seeing that Huiya's face was a little redder, her eyes were full of smiles, and she thought that she also agreed to such a family affair, so she picked up the box and said: "Sister, my sister has entered Baylor Mansion, and the rules are big, and there will be fewer sisters to meet in the future." My sister embroidered some things and two pieces of jewelry for her sister to congratulate. Huizhu saw that Huiya didn't answer, and said in a serious tone: "Sister, this thing is a piece of my sister's heart, we are sisters, you see me like this, you just don't treat me as a sister, okay, then I'll go." ”
Huiya hurriedly grabbed Huizhu, who was about to leave, and looked at the exquisite and expensive jewelry in the box, and was very grateful: "Sister, thank you, I used to be ignorant, and I was often jealous that you were a concubine, and you were so good to your sister." Sister, thank you. Then he picked up a small box and handed it to Huizhu's hand, and said: "Sister, my sister knows that today is your birthday, and she has already prepared some small things, which shows that my sister gave my sister such a valuable gift, and my sister is really a little unable to handle it." There are only two pieces of mandarin duck embroidered handkerchief, two peach-colored velvet flowers and three glass bead flowers made by my sister, well, my sister knows that my sister likes plum blossoms, and the plum blossoms embroidered on this handkerchief. After speaking, he looked at Huizhu with some apprehension.
"I'm very happy to have your heart, and I like all of this. Today I have a thirteenth birthday, but I also remember that my sister is about to give birth, but I didn't expect that our sisters were twelve or thirteen years old to get married, but fortunately, you are the main room, and you have hired the tea ceremony, and you have been fifteen years old. Huizhu sighed.
Hui Ya replied lightly: "Sister, you are the daughter of the concubine probably don't understand the bitterness of the concubine, although Aunt Zhang is favored by Ama, but she is also a concubine." You have to stand next to the main room to eat, and you have to thank you for sitting, and even the children you give birth to can only recognize yourself as an aunt, and you are still a slave after living a lifetime. With my identity, I am very grateful to be able to marry into the Fucha family's sister-in-law as the main house, and I am still promising. In fact, when the holy decree came down, I was really jealous of you, you are a concubine, your living conditions have been better than me since you were a child, and now you can still marry the prince, I asked myself that everything is also very good, but why not me. Now I also understand that if I enter the Baylor Mansion, I will be a concubine who can't get on the jade plate, and the children I give birth to will still be called my aunt. Sister, I really figured it out, but, sister, I know you don't like royal life, but you are a famous Gege, in the future, little brother Xiao Gege will call you Eniang, sister, sister now I sincerely hope you are doing well. ”
Huizhu couldn't help but sigh softly: "Sister, my sister knows, but everything should be as it is......"
The two sisters said some more, and then went to the main house to eat with the girl sent by Zhang Jia's family.
