Chapter 231: Birth and Death (II)
"It's better to jump a hundred ropes!" Eleven Niang looked left and right, "Kicking shuttlecock is played by children." ”
"It's better to kick the shuttlecock." Xu Sijian smiled with a spring breeze on his face, "Jumping hundreds of ropes is just a work of strength, how can we live with strength!" ”
"Kicking shuttlecocks, jumping hundreds of ropes, and even juju, aren't they all for the sake of strengthening the body? Otherwise, why would we sweat all the sweat here? It's better to sit in the house and read a book. Eleven Niang smiled, "Since there is no difference, it doesn't matter whether you kick the shuttlecock or jump the rope!" ”
Xu Sijian immediately said: "Just as the fourth aunt said." Since there is no difference. I think it's better to kick the shuttlecock! ”
The two of you argued with me one by one.
Brother Zhen hurriedly said: "Otherwise, I'll kick the shuttlecock on behalf of my mother and the third brother!" "Look like a peacemaker, "Everyone, stop arguing!" ”
Eleven Niang looked at it and laughed.
Xu Sijian said: "No, this matter has to be made clear." "There is a tendency to argue with Eleven Niang about which is more interesting, shuttlecock kicking or jumping Baisuo.
Eleven Niang is also happy to tease Xu Sijian.
The two men argued sharply.
Brother Zhen was still listening to it very worriedly at first, but later saw that the two of them were talking interestingly, and he listened attentively with his elbows and cheeks on the side, only Xu Sijian stepped forward to kick Xu Sijian: "Don't quarrel with my mother, don't quarrel with my mother......" Where did Xu Sijian think of it, he was kicked squarely, covered his calf and screamed.
Shi Niang was stunned, and only reacted after a moment, and hurriedly hugged Xu Si admonishment: "The gentleman speaks, and the villain does it." You can't beat people indiscriminately. ”
Xu Sijie looked at Eleven Niang, looking a little aggrieved.
Brother Zhen has stepped forward to compensate Xu Sijian: "He is still young and ignorant...... It didn't hurt anywhere! ”
And Xu Sijian saw that Xu Sijian was stunned, of course he would not let go of this opportunity to scare him, raised his eyebrows, and rolled his sleeves: "You wait, I'll find the eldest brother and the second brother so that you can take a good look." ”
"Third brother, don't be angry, third brother, don't be angry!" did not scare Xu Sijie, but scared Brother Zhen. He stepped forward and pulled Xu Sijian to persuade, "Didn't the third brother want a gnather cage?" Do you think my Xiangfei bamboo is good? I still have a purple sand one. It's up to you. ”
Brother Zhen actually bribed people!
It's nature or growth.
Eleven Niang laughed.
Xu Sijian looked at the nervous Brother Zhen and couldn't help laughing.
For a while, the room was full of laughter, lively and warm.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Xu Lingyi, Mrs. Tai and Eleven Niang entered the palace according to their makeup. Xu Lingyi went to Qianqing Palace, and Mrs. Tai and Eleven Niang went to Kunning Palace.
Waiting in front of the door of the East Warm Pavilion is Gonggong Lei. Seeing Mrs. Tai and Eleven Niang, he hurriedly walked over, arched his hand, and said in a low voice: "Concubine Xian, Concubine Jing, Song Jieyu and the eldest princess, Princess An Cheng, Princess Yong'an, and Mrs. Zhou are inside." He added, "Yesterday at noon, the emperor had lunch at the imperial concubine's place. The imperial concubine Niangniang personally made a cup of Biluochun and served it. Who knew that the tea was too hot and scalded the emperor. The emperor was very displeased. Watching the fireworks today, I didn't invite the imperial concubine to come. ”
Eleven Niang listened and her heart moved.
Not to mention that the imperial concubine gave tea to the emperor, even if she gave Xu Lingyi tea, she had to pay attention to the temperature of the tea, how could she burn people. thought of deliberately passing on the holy decree to let Xu Lingyi, Mrs. Tai and himself enter the palace to watch the fireworks...... Is there any intention of the emperor's move?
She hurriedly looked at Mrs. Tai.
Mrs. Tai's smile was modest, not unlike usual. She stuffed something into Grandpa Lei's hand: "Thank you Grandpa Lei." On such a cold day, Grandpa Lei worked hard. ”
Father-in-law Lei smiled and quietly put the thing into his sleeve: "Mrs. Tai, Mrs. Yongpinghou, please come with me." He led them into the East Warm Pavilion.
Eleven Niang didn't dare to think about it, so she followed behind Mrs. Tai to salute the queen's mother, salute the three internal women such as Concubine Xian, and greet Mrs. Zhou.
"No need to be polite." The queen's complexion was much better than the last time she saw her, she smiled gently, her tone was soothing, and she asked the palace maid to bring the brocade to the lady with a leisurely tone unique to a noble lady.
Mrs. Tai thanked her and sat down.
Eleven Niang stood behind Mrs. Tai and quickly glanced at the three concubines sitting around the queen's mother.
They are all seventeen or eighteen years old, curvy, with beautiful facial features, but they are dressed in gaudy fashion, more than charming, and not enough to be stunning, and have no characteristics. On the contrary, it is not as good as the queen's dress, dignified and dignified, and has a solemn beauty.
The queen asked about Mrs. Tai's recent physical condition.
Mrs. Tai answered them one by one.
Mrs. Zhou, who was standing behind the eldest princess, smiled at Eleven Niang.
Eleven Niang didn't know what it meant, she didn't dare to move, she stood there with her eyes and nose and heart.
There are palace maids who come to pay tribute, Mrs. Jianning Hou and Mrs. Shouchangbo come.
The queen announced that she came in, and everyone saluted each other, and the queen still asked the palace maid to bring the brocade.
The two thanked each other and just sat down, when the palace maid came in and said that Princess Changning was here.
Except for the queen mother and the eldest princess, everyone else stood up when they heard this.
Eleven Niang couldn't help but look at the visitor.
Princess Changning looks like she is in her forties, white and clean, her body is slightly fat, and her eyebrows and eyes are four or five points similar to the emperor's. Although he was dressed very gorgeously, his face was tense and his expression was very solemn.
Behind her was a woman who looked to be twenty-five or six years old, thin and tall, with neat round hair, wearing a red gold ruby and walking sway, wearing a real purple carved silk gown, her face was sallow, and her expression was sorrowful, looking like she had just recovered from a serious illness.
Then Princess An Cheng smiled and greeted Princess Chang Ning: "Chang Ning, I thought you weren't coming?" I heard that your body was not good during this time, but now you are better? ”
Princess Changning saluted: "Thank you eldest sister for your concern." It's cold, I've had a bit of a cold, but I'm fine now. As he spoke, he smiled reluctantly.
Princess An Cheng looked at the woman behind Princess Chang Ning and said with a smile: "Look at you, you have lost a lot - is it because you are tired of taking care of Chang Ning?" ”
The woman hurriedly bowed and muttered, "No, no ......"
Princess Chang Ning listened to the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, and she was obviously not very satisfied with the woman's answer.
"Mallow, I haven't seen you in a few days." When the eldest princess saw it, she smiled and beckoned to the woman, "Come, let me see." ”
The woman called Malvac glanced at Princess Changning timidly.
Princess Changning frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "The eldest princess called you!" ”
"Yes!" She replied like a gnat, and walked to the eldest princess's side with a cower.
The eldest princess took her hand: "Today's clothes are well dressed - Bao Xianghua's is a new look this year." ”
A hint of ruddy appeared on Mallow face, and she whispered, "It's the princess's reward." ”
The eldest princess smiled and bowed: "Chang Ning, it's better for you to be good to your daughter-in-law." ”
Eleven Niang looked at the mallow with some surprise.
She didn't expect Ren Kun's wife to be like this - behaved like a little daughter-in-law. Looking at Princess Changning's appearance again, she seemed to be very dissatisfied with this daughter-in-law.
"I only have this daughter-in-law. Naturally, treat it like a daughter. Princess Changning's face turned slightly gloomy when she heard this, and she stepped forward to greet the queen and the eldest princess, and Mrs. Zhou and Eleven Niang stepped forward to salute Princess Changning.
Princess Changning nodded, but Malallow looked at Eleven Niang with her lips slightly open, very surprised.
It happened that a palace maid came in with a brocade and asked Princess Changning to sit. She took the opportunity to walk to Princess Changning's side, stood behind Princess Changning with her eyelids drooping slightly, and used the heavy red tent to cover up her thin figure.
Everyone in the house said interesting things about the New Year, and she appeared after you finished speaking, but no one mentioned the children of the Xu family, and no one mentioned Ren Kun's disappearance. It's as if none of this happened. Although it is deliberate, it is just as lively and noisy.
In the afternoon, Shenzheng, the queen mother rewarded the rice balls to eat. At dusk, he took everyone to the Jiaotai Palace.
Just stood still, the Queen Mother came.
Everyone stepped forward to salute, and the attendants led everyone to sit down according to their ranks.
Eleven Niang and Mrs. Zhou sat next to each other in front of a long case in front of the entrance of the hall.
"I'm most afraid of entering the palace." Mrs. Zhou saw that the Empress Dowager was talking to Jianning Hou and Mrs. Changshoubo, and muttered to Eleven Niang, "Every time I sit at the door of the palace, as soon as the curtain is lifted, the cold wind will pour directly into it, freezing people half to death." None of the dishes were steaming. ”
Eleven Niang held back a smile, sat in front of the long case with a straight face, and said in a low voice: "Sister Zhou is still ready to eat at the imperial banquet?" ”
Mrs. Zhou smiled when she heard this, and said, "Yes." Then he whispered, "Have you heard that the imperial concubine was reprimanded by the emperor......"
Is Mrs. Zhou too well-informed? Or has it already been heard? If it's spread all over the place, then you have to think about it.
"Who did Sister Zhou listen to?" Eleven Niang was very stunned.
"Everybody knows." Mrs. Zhou pointed out, "You also have to mention it to your lord." ”
Sometimes, the movement of the inner palace is a weather vane.
Eleven Niang thanked her with a smile, and a waiter brought someone over, and the two hurriedly stopped talking and sat down without squinting. When the visitor sat down and shouted "Sister Zhou", Eleven Niang realized that it was Mallows sitting next to them.
"Sister Mallow Ao!" Mrs. Zhou glanced at the throne first, and saw that the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother had sat down on the right and left, and everyone was sitting down in a stumbling manner, and no one noticed her, so she greeted Mallow in a low voice, but the smile on her face was even brighter than just now.
Mallow smiled a little shyly.
Mrs. Zhou pointed at Eleven Niang and said in a low voice: "You don't know you yet-this is Mrs. Yongping Hou!" ”
As soon as her words fell, the mallow had already said, "I know. She is Shi Niang's younger sister. ”
Mrs. Zhou was stunned.
Eleven Niang smiled bitterly.
People don't say that she is Xu Lingyi's wife, but that she is Shi Niang's sister, and they look at the kinship between them from Wang Lang's point of view. It seems that Mallow knows the relationship between her husband and Wang Lang well.
She nodded towards the mallow a little embarrassed: "Mrs. Ren!" ”
Mallow said: "I am from Dongyang, and my maiden name is Jiang." ”
Dongyang and Yuhang are both Jiangnan, speaking of which, the two are fellow countrymen. But in this case, in this case, what is the use of saying this. Could he be ashamed of her because of this, or will the Wang and Ren families be relieved of their previous suspicions because of this?
What does she mean by that?
Eleven Niang muttered in her heart, but a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind.
Dongyang, Jiangjia ...... Isn't it the Dongyang Jiang family that Wu Niang mentioned who married to the Yanjing family and once had a concubine on the boat from Yuhang to Yanjing!
She couldn't bear it, but she didn't touch it.
This world is so small!

I'm also chasing articles, and I have a lot of complaints about my favorite texts every day.
