Chapter 11: The Princess
When the princess heard this, her face softened slightly, she glanced at Mao Leyan lightly, and then looked at Xiao Shu and said: "You clever girl, you haven't said anything about your master, you should protect it first." Eighteen, what are you doing standing? Have a seat! ”
Mao Leyan sat on the chair with his buttocks, and after the autumn, these pear blossom wood chairs were padded with soft satin, which was particularly comfortable to sit on, and had the feeling of a sofa. Thinking of the sofa, Mao Leyan only wanted to make a set of fabric sofas by himself and put them in Lingxiangyuan, and everything was on it.
The princess didn't make it difficult for her much, it can be seen that the ordinary relationship is good, maybe because Mao Leyan and the concubine have a good relationship, so openly and secretly, they will give Mao Leyan a little face. Although this princess is arrogant, she is also a reasonable person. Knowing this, Mao Leyan suddenly felt that in this palace, it was actually not so terrifying.
Before leaving, the princess suddenly asked: "By the way, a few days ago you said that your mother was sick, but is she better?" ”
Mao Leyan was stunned, she didn't know about this. The princess didn't talk about it, and she didn't take the initiative to find out where this Miss Mao Xuelian came from? Where are your parents? She only gets: "The situation is still not good or bad." ”
The princess pondered for a moment and said, "Otherwise, you can go back tomorrow and take the doctor with you, so that you can find out what the disease is." ”
Mao Leyan was a little surprised by the princess's generosity, and hurriedly got up and thanked him: "Thank you for your concern, the concubine will go home tomorrow." "When I go home, there are too many preparations to make, such as where her family is, how many people are in the family, what does my father do, what does my mother do, well, my mother is generally a housewife in this era. As for the father, if he doesn't do business, he doesn't want to be an official, or he doesn't have a manager or director in a big organization or something, after all, his daughter can marry the prince as a concubine, and it is estimated that she will not be from a poor peasant background.
The princess nodded, "Well, this concubine ordered someone to prepare something for you to go back, you also know how snobbish your father is, and your sisters are all married so well, if you go back empty-handed, it will be strange not to be scolded by the backbone." ”
Mao Leyan was stunned for a moment, daring to love this Miss Mao Xuelian is still a pitiful little who has been despised and neglected! I don't know if it's a big family, if it's a big family, then her father probably has several little wives, and she feels horrified and irritable just thinking about it. But it can't be done if you don't go back, Mao Xuelian gave her this body, and she didn't pester her for rent, no matter how she should be filial to others, since her mother is sick and she is a doctor, she should go back and take a look.
In this way, the princess ordered the account room to take some silver, and took a lot of gifts in the treasury for Mao Leyan to return to her parents' home. Under Xiao Shu's reminder, she thanked the princess before going out, and the princess was in a good mood and instructed her to allow her to stay at her parents' house for a few more days before coming back.
Out of the house, she took the carriage of the palace and walked on the lively and bustling streets of the capital. But she wasn't happy at all, she didn't know anything about this family, Mo said that she knew the people in the house, and it was estimated that she didn't even know her father. began to be irritable in her heart, Xiao Shu and Fan Er didn't know much about the Mao family, I heard that there was a wedding girl before, and then I didn't know why I left the palace, and the only people who served around her were Xiao Shu and Fan Er, and the two of them also went to Mao's house once, but they were all going back and forth on the same day, and they were not clear about the people and things of the Mao family, so they couldn't give her any useful information.
Mao Mansion is located in the east of the capital and is considered a noble residence. It took half an hour for the carriage to arrive, which was quite far.
The driver knows the way, so Mao Leyan has no worries about not being able to recognize the way home. After the carriage stopped, she lifted the curtain, and a large mansion stood in front of the door with a stone lion, which was naturally much smaller than the specifications of the palace, but it was also held high and majestic.
It seems that it is a rich family.
Because someone had been ordered to come back in advance, as soon as the carriage stopped, the vermilion gate opened with a babble, and two family members came out, and the two looked at each other for a moment, and then saluted arrogantly: "Miss Seven, you are back!" ”
Seeing the faces of the two, Mao Leyan had basically learned about her and her mother's status in this family. Even subordinates can be so despised, how high can their status be? Although she married into the palace, she was just a humble concubine, and she had nothing to show off, and the people of the Mao family probably despised her blindly.
Suddenly unhappy in her heart, she darkened her face, and walked in, making the two family members stunned on the spot. These seven young ladies come back on weekdays, although they are all silent, but their manners and actions are very cringe and dodge, and they do not have the momentum of striding meteors.
Mao Leyan went all the way in, and the sneers of the two family members clearly and distinctly reached her ears, and one family member said: "Maybe I have been favored in the palace, but I am just a concubine, can I be promoted to a side concubine if I am favored?" ”
The other smiled, "Besides, in King Qing's Mansion, there are groups of beautiful concubines, even if they are petted today, they won't sink tomorrow?" ”
Mao Leyan turned his head suddenly, glanced at the two of them gloomily, and said coldly:
"Do you have convulsions if you don't speak?"
