Cheng Mingyue pursed her lips and buried her head in disdain to participate; wanted to stab Mingyi two sentences, and then looked at the happy Cheng Yuandong and his wife, but they didn't dare to say it after all.

Once she disturbs the good atmosphere, she will definitely be beaten.

In the following days, in order to avoid Cheng Mingyi, Cheng Mingyue became more and more estranged from several brothers.

In the winter season of cats, everyone is at home, and occasionally go up to the mountains to collect firewood and hunt and have nothing else to do. And the seedlings in Mingyi's field have become the focus of Cheng Mingyi's brothers, Cheng Mingyue is out of sight and out of mind, and never goes to that place.

In the cold winter, the family has surplus food, and the Cheng family is comfortable and leisurely.

Fucheng, the palace of the king of Zhou.

Seeing that the New Year is approaching, the Zhou Wangfu is full of lights, and people are shuttling back and forth; The housekeeper directs the decoration of the house, and for the New Year's Festival, the lanterns in the house are replaced with lanterns made of red paper.

Not only the decoration in the house is replaced, but the housekeeper needs to be busy with many things, such as shopping in the house, New Year's gifts, etc., all need to be seen by him.

Princess Zhou is also not idle, every New Year's Day, the festival that needs to be sent out in the house is a big project.

Don't look at the scenery of the family, this scenery also needs to be maintained.

As the head of the palace, the favors must be served, and the faction of Northwest officials will also be entertained when they come to pay New Year's greetings; She didn't have to entertain the officials, but she had to meet their ladies.

Therefore, the palace was busy until the end of the year, and it did not stop until the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month.

If it weren't for the end of the year, every household would have to celebrate the New Year, and the people who came to visit would not stop easily.

It is difficult to enter the palace on weekdays, but everyone is lively during the New Year's Festival, regardless of the size of the official, as long as there is a relationship, you can enter the palace to worship.

"Son! Did you send the New Year's gift you prepared for Cheng Xiaoniang? "On the evening of the twenty-ninth day, the prince of Zhou and his mother got together, and Princess Zhou asked.

Zhou Ting chuckled, "Don't worry, concubine, it has been prepared a long time ago, and it will be sent to Cheng's house tomorrow." ”

"That's fine." Princess Zhou shook her head, "Is Little Lady Cheng taller now?" ”

"Well, she's the most lively and active; Active people grow fast, and the last time they used to grow a little taller. ”

The son smiled helplessly, Princess Zhou saw it in her eyes, and she also wanted to smile with her aunt, "Look at you attach so much importance to Cheng Xiaoniang, do you want the mother to send you two grandmothers over?" ”

"What are you sending Mama there for?" The last time he mentioned that he was rejected to send a maid, he didn't have such an idea anymore.

"Are you really unenlightened, or are you pretending to be stupid with your mother?"

The white son glanced at him, and Princess Zhou was not angry to throw him a dried fruit; Zhou Ting didn't dodge or dodge, and let the dried fruit hit his head.

Princess Zhou looked at Mama Xu, "You really have an idea, taking advantage of Cheng Xiaoniang's young age, the concubine will give you two mammas." ”

Teach early, it's not easy to be a housewife, even if it's a side concubine, there are many things to learn.

"Mother, there are only two scholars in the Cheng family, one is her father and the other is her brother; Her family has no merit and fame, and no one has entered the court, so it is not appropriate to rush to send her grandmother to the door. ”

The Cheng family doesn't want to say anything else, but these officials in the northwest are not vegetarians; In particular, there are spies in the northwest, and a number of them have been arrested, but they have not been caught, but they have just been hidden.

Once their family sends their grandmother over, they will definitely expose the Cheng family to the public eye.

"If you don't teach her early while she is young, how will she take on a big responsibility in the future?" The son needs a virtuous helper, so she has to make a plan early, "The person you didn't fancy before, the mother didn't urge you; Now that you have it, you shouldn't indulge it for the sake of the future of the palace. ”

Zhou Ting shook his head, "Mother, it's useless to have an idea, Cheng Xiaoniang is too young; We really did this, didn't we force the Cheng family to marry her to me! ”

"What you said died of laughter for my mother." Knowing her son Mo Ruomu, Princess Zhou joked: "What I don't know is that I think you are a gentleman who can let your sweetheart out and retire to protect the happiness of others." ”

"Mother."

"Gotta get it, don't scream, don't bark." Princess Zhou's banter continued unabated, adding a little bit of badness, and it was rare to say toughly: "The mother concubine will give you two grandmothers, and send them to the Cheng family as soon as possible; The Cheng family's family background is not obvious, and it is not okay to get a handle on it, the mother concubine is for your good, and it is also for her good. ”

"According to your strange temper, if you have a sweetheart, can you still tolerate other people? Or even make your sweetheart a concubine? ”

"If you can't be a concubine, then you will be trained according to the housewife and the concubine of the main family; lest she go out to socialize in the future because of improper language, poor etiquette, unclear family examples, and jokes for nothing. ”

Zhou Ting's face was slightly gloomy, "Mother, you think too much, Cheng Xiaoniang didn't agree to be the princess of the world." ”

"What kind of dog temper are you, can this princess not know? Do you think there will be a day when you can let go? Otherwise, why would she have to think about all aspects for her son.

Row horn.

Zhou Ting is rotten.

"Little lady Cheng is too young, wait."

Princess Zhou nodded slightly, her son was finally normal, "Two years at most, you still haven't made progress after two years, don't blame the mother for interfering; Anyway, it's all your wife, and it's up to you whether the mother will become a couple or a resentful couple after she intervenes. ”

"I know, don't worry, concubine."

"It's strange if you're not worried." It's just that Cheng Mingyi is really too young, so she temporarily relented, "Mother concubine wants to enjoy Qingfu, in short, you marry someone into the door as soon as possible and take charge of the inner courtyard of the palace." ”

Zhou Ting: I can't do it, thank you.

He didn't marry a wife just to be in charge of the inner house, the mother thought too much.

Seeing that her son was silent, Princess Zhou glanced at Mama Xu.

Mama Xu gently stepped back, and after a moment, she turned around, holding a rosewood box in her hand.

Princess Zhou lowered her chin lightly and said to her son: "The New Year's gift prepared for Cheng Xiaoniang, when you send it, don't forget to prepare an extra copy of the Cheng family; Every time you give a gift, you only give it to Cheng Xiaoniang, and the Cheng family doesn't care, otherwise your road to marrying a wife will have to twist and turn. ”

Zhou Ting:.

Leave the backyard with a rosewood box in hand.

Back in the front yard, Zhou Ting pushed open the box and took a look; It is filled with gold and silver jewelry for little girls, including precious jade pieces, excellent agate and other knick-knacks.

Beauty is beauty, and it is true that Mingyi rarely wears it.

Mingyi seems to prefer simple and simple gold and silver jewelry, which is convenient for daily wear; She wouldn't wear such luxurious jewelry.

In fact, he knew in his heart that unless Mingyi felt that his identity was enough; Otherwise, she won't wear too expensive jewelry, and it's not a question of whether it's good or not.

Rather, as a civilian, he has no identity and no good name; Dai Tai's precious jewelry was seen by people with a heart, and people didn't know what to say about the Cheng family.

Usually, she doesn't go out to socialize at home, and the general jewelry is already very good.

What's more, in the countryside, ordinary gold and silver jewelry is also precious.

Pulling the box up, Zhou Ting put it next to him, thinking about what the mother concubine had said; The time he could buy Mingyi was only two years, and Mingyi would only be nine and a half years old two years later.
