Chapter 7 Prince Gong's Mansion
After dinner, the old lady took a closer look at the girls' dresses, all of them were very decent, the five girls were reprimanded, they were holding their tails to behave, and the two grandmothers from the palace were trained hard, where did they dare to touch the old lady's brows, and now they are also dressed up brightly.
The rest of the girls are also wearing the coats that are new to wear this winter, and several girls have their own temperament at this stop, and they are "beauties flying down from the Moon Palace"! In addition to the stunning Su Su in the city, it is no wonder that the young lady said that she was dazzled!
The old lady naturally nodded with satisfaction, and in a blink of an eye, she saw Su Sulian's cyan gray squirrel cloak, and said to Mrs. Shizi: "On the day she came home, the cloak made this winter was either lotus green or bamboo green back and forth, and now she is also a big girl, so it is better to wear it brightly." I went back and asked the sewing room to make her a big red orangutan felt from my share and keep it for the New Year! ”
The young lady said with a smile: "Where to use grandmother's example, you also let your granddaughter-in-law sell Su Su a good one, and Su Su also designed me a set of conspicuous jewelry when I went back to my parents' house for the New Year, and now even my grandmother knows that Su Su is a product, and it must be a boutique!"
In fact, where is Su Su missing a cloak, Su Su doesn't know how much of the best material and skin she has gained in recent years, but now that the old lady and the eldest young lady have made her face, she is naturally grateful to Dade for thanking her!
The two cousins who are not too familiar with Su Su once again saw their grandmother's fancy and maintenance of Su Su, and they looked up to Su Su in their hearts!
And the hands of the five girls shrunk into their sleeves were clenched into fists tightly, and they hated it in their hearts! However, the Buddhist scriptures of these days are not read in vain, and she soon came back to her senses, remembering the letter from her aunt, she knew that now she wanted not to be sent back to Yangzhou, and if she wanted to have a good marriage, she could only keep to herself, and she would hold her grandmother desperately.
As for Su Su, no matter how good she looks, she is just a maid, and she is still a maid who doesn't know if she can give birth to a child, and she will have a time to watch the excitement by herself in the future!
After eating, the girls went back to their houses, redressed their makeup, and touched up their makeup.
Taking advantage of this, Su Su also went back to the room to eat, and packed up a small bag, handed it to Ming Yu to hold, inside was a spare set of clothes and a dressing box, to be cleaned up, Su Su went to the main room, as the girls listened to the old lady and Mrs. Shizi a few more words, then sat in a soft sedan chair and left the house.
There are carriages waiting outside the house, starting with two Cuigai Zhuying Eight Treasure Cars, one for the three sisters of the Song family, and one for the two cousins and Su Su.
There were several black-painted carriages behind him, which were for the mothers-in-law and maids who followed.
After the people under the master were seated, the driver of the car raised his whip, and with a crisp sound, he set off.
Prince Gong's Mansion is located in the second ring of the capital, and it is only a ten-minute drive from the palace. From Shun'anbo's Mansion to Prince Gong's Mansion, it takes about half an hour.
In the car, Miss Zhao was chattering, like a little sparrow. For a while, I want to pick up the curtain to see the outside, and for a while I guess how Prince Gong's mansion is, and then I talk about the prosperity of the capital.
called the capital, the little girl had not been out of the house yet, and because of her young age, Su Su and Sun Fangqing were not willing to restrain her, they all listened to her with a smile, and replied with a few words from time to time, which made the little mouth say more happily.
Cousin Sun said a little helplessly: "I really should let you and my sixth cousin take a car, so that you two can finish what you want to say, and you should be quiet when you get to the palace."
Miss Zhao smiled, "Good sister, don't worry, I won't lose my grandmother's face." ”
Prince Xiangong is the half-brother of the first emperor, and because he is more than ten years old, he treats him as if he is half a son. The first emperor also fought fiercely for the throne, except for such a half-brother, there were few other brothers and sisters left.
As soon as the first emperor ascended the throne, he named his younger brother King Gong, and now he is succeeded to the throne and crowned the prince, and he wants to be a prince. Five years ago, Prince Gong died. The prince succeeded to the throne, which is now Prince Gong.
Now this Prince Gong is not very good because of his small body, and he has never asked about the government, but only likes the wind and snow, drunk and beautiful. Nowadays, he takes good care of this cousin and allows him not to be demoted.
In addition to the main concubine, Prince Gong's mansion is full of four side concubines and eight concubines, and there are some concubines and rooms, but the heirs are not abundant.
has been married for thirteen years, and there is only one concubine under the knees of the concubine, the lord of Qingning. The princess has not been able to give birth to a concubine for many years, so naturally she can't help but let others have children. Therefore, there are two concubines and two concubines in the palace.
Prince Gong's Mansion is weak because of the princess's strength, and the backyard infighting is fierce, and the princess has also sat down three times, but all because of the backyard house fight. If it weren't for Prince Gong's princess not being confused, she would support her daughter-in-law! The princess is afraid that there are no bones left.
"Prince and Princess Gong have been married for many years, and only then did they get such a child as the county lord of Qingning, and they were protected as if they were eyeballs. However, listening to the sixth girl, the county lord has a very atmospheric temperament, and he doesn't like those who are submissive and inconsistent. The granddaughter of the eldest princess of Changlong, Shen Xianjun of Pingshun Bofu, will also come. I heard that the temperament is the most gentle. These two people are good friends with Zhao Jiu, the maiden sister of our family's wife, and they also like the sixth girl very much. Miss Zhao Biao played with the six girls, so she didn't have to worry so much. ”
Su Su saw that Miss Sun was worried, so he told her the news of inquiring with the fourth and sixth girls.
Sun Fangqing relieved her heart and pulled Su Su and said, "Good sister, if we do something bad, please ask my sister to teach us." I was at home before, only when Suyang and Suyang were the most prosperous places in the world, and when I entered the capital, I realized that I was just a frog at the bottom of the well! No wonder my mother repeatedly asked to follow my grandmother to open her eyes. ”
Although this cousin girl is the same size as the fifth girl, she is much better than the fifth girl.
Su Su said softly: "Don't you dare to say the word 'teach', it's the two girls who look up to Su Su." The old lady cherishes the juniors the most, and the girls just have to give orders if they have anything. ”
While speaking, this Prince Gong's mansion is not far away. There were already a few wagons parked in front of the door.
The Song family got out of the car, and saw that it was the Zhao family girl who came down in the first carriage.
Miss Zhao Jiu was holding a hand warmer with white fox skin, and when she saw the Song family, she smiled and said, "I thought it was not your family, and sure enough, I came!" After speaking, he stepped forward and pulled the six girls to chatter non-stop.
The two have not seen each other for more than a month since they parted from the Ke Wangfu, and they have something to say!
There are four girls from the Zhao family today, and Miss Zhao Liu is the eldest among them, and she is the same age as the four girls of the Song family. glanced at the housekeeper beside the princess who was waiting next to her, and then at her sister, who was very lively, and said helplessly: "If you have anything to say, wait until you go to the palace, it's not good to tell the county lord to wait!"
Miss Zhao Jiu waved her hand, "Where is Qingning such a stingy person?" However, in the end, he still pulled the sixth girl and Zhao Biao girl into the green silk car prepared by the palace.
Miss Zhao Liu smiled at the fourth girl, and also pulled the seventh sister and the eighth sister into another car. The fourth girl looked at the remaining two and said, "I'm with my fifth sister, and Cousin Fangqing is with Su Su."
This is the second time Su Su has come to Prince Gong's mansion, last time it was Prince Gong's concubine who gave the old lady a post, Su Su followed the old lady as a maid to serve, and also got a pair of jade bracelets from the concubine, and the princess also rewarded a pair of gold hairpins.
At that time, I didn't see the county lord of Qingning, but I heard that he had entered the palace.
Since his ascension to the throne, Prince Gong's mansion can be described as a brocade of flowers and a blazing fire. It's not just because the emperor and the current Prince Gong are cousins, but also because of the current queen mother.
Today's queen mother is not today's biological mother, today's biological mother is just the daughter of an ordinary small official, she is not delicate, but her figure is plump and round, and she can stay in the draft, but because the first emperor's heirs were not abundant at that time, the first queen mother said that she was good at first sight, so she was named the last talent, and the first queen mother gave her a title - appropriate.
This Yicai man really lived up to his reputation of being a good child, and he became pregnant after sleeping overnight, and he became a man in one fell swoop, giving birth to the second son of the emperor.
However, at that time, the harem had Queen Shude, who was a mother in the world, a precious concubine who was favored and gave birth to the eldest prince, and a beautiful and touching concubine who was pregnant with a dragon. Later, this Yigui man gave birth two years later, and he had two deaths.
The second prince was not impressed by his biological mother, but the concubine, who had no heirs, loved her very much. After the second prince Rong ascended the throne, he first named his adoptive mother Concubine Shu as the Empress Dowager Shuren, and then posthumously named his biological mother as the Empress Dowager Ciren.
The Empress Dowager Shuren was born in the Rongxian Marquis Mansion, one of the six founding marquis' mansions, and now the Marquis Rongxian is the nephew of the Empress Dowager. The queen mother's elder brother, the old marquis, is still alive and was crowned as the Duke of Cheng'en by Jinshang. The gradually declining Rongxian Marquis Mansion, because of the accession to the throne today, Concubine Shu was named the queen mother and burst out with new vitality.
Having said so much, I mainly want to say that Prince Gong is from the Rongxian Marquis Mansion and is the niece of the Queen Mother. The princess's father and the queen mother and Chengen Gong are brothers and sisters of the same mother, and the queen mother loves the princess, the niece and the nephew of the county lord of Qingning, very much.
As a concubine who was not favored before, even if she was one of the four concubines, she couldn't give much care to her niece, but as the queen mother, it was different. Prince Gong spent a lot more time resting in the princess's courtyard, and the princess's life was much better, and the only regret was that he didn't have a concubine.
The green silk cart stopped at the second gate, and the steward Mother Tao Mama next to the county lord led a group of servants to greet the girls here.
Mama Tao is the upbringing grandmother who was awarded to the lord of Qingning County after Concubine Shu was named the queen mother, and she was originally a female official of Shangyi Bureau, with a positive rank of five grades.
Although the Song family also invited the palace grandmother to teach the girls the etiquette rules, it is incomparable with Tao Mama, who can be a female official of Shangyi, who is in charge of the etiquette teaching of the entire harem, and every word and deed is a model.
Mama Tao is only in her forties, looking younger, wearing a white placket stand-up collar. The lower part is a light gray embroidered horse-faced skirt, covered with a purple collar and a snow blue dark silk gray squirrel placket.
At the back of his head, he combed a regular bun, inserted a red gold cloud wishful hairpin, and a jade dripping bead hairpin. There is a snow green embroidered daisy on the forehead, and the ingot-like ears are equipped with a pair of small gourd-like hollow gold pendants, with a smile on the face, which makes people feel like a spring breeze at first sight, and they have a good feeling.
The girls didn't dare to slack off on this Mama Tao, although she no longer served as a female official of Shangyi, her rank was still there. After seeing the salute one after another, Mama Tao also returned the salute one by one, with a gesture, the beads on her head did not move at all, and the jade on her waist did not make a sound, so that Su Su, the person who saw her for the second time, was still emotional, "How is this practice?" "What a man of God!
