Chapter I
It's not warm in March, but it's time to put on a spring shirt.
In the General's Mansion of the Great Part, Wen Jing sat on the main seat, and the ladies and girls of the Wen family were all here.
Wen Jing's nails painted with red kodan lightly scratched the tea cup, and she watched the people in the room flatter her with interest.
The aunt in the second room, You Shi, is a sleek person, and she has never stopped talking since Wen Jing entered the door. She has never looked down on the style of the big house, so she said at this time: "It is said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a fairy-like son, and Yushu is more beautiful than Pan An." I see that the eldest girl must be doing well these days, and her complexion is better than when she was still at home. ”
The meaning of these words was somewhat pointed, and Mrs. Liu, the third lady, took a handkerchief to hide the smile at the corner of her mouth.
The big house Jiang's family, Wen Jing's stepmother's face was a little unsightly, but Wen Jing's current identity did not open her mouth. Wen Qiong, the third girl from the Jiang family, had no change in her face and sat steadily.
Wen Jing just smiled faintly, she would not relieve the Jiang family.
It was Wen Xuan, the second girl from You's family, who looked at Wen Jing with a smile and said busily: "What my mother said is that the eldest sister has only been out for three days, but I miss it very much, thinking that I can talk to the eldest sister in private affairs for a while." ”
When she was in the boudoir, Wen Xuan never treated Wen Jing as respectful to her on the surface like others, but behind her back, she laughed at Wen Jing for not having her mother's protection and watching her jokes.
On the contrary, she has been helping herself everywhere, and Wen Jing has always had a better relationship with her.
Wen Xuan opened his mouth, but Wen Jing still gave face, and his smile became more sincere: "Okay, after dinner, you come to my room, and we will whisper." ”
"The eldest girl, don't just spoil the second girl, our A-Ying is also thinking about the eldest girl, and she has told me several times in the past few days."
When Liu Shi heard Wen Jing's words, he was a little anxious, and he tugged on the wrist of Wen Ying, the sixth girl next to him, and Wen Ying stumbled.
Wen Ying was a little inexplicable, she was not familiar with her eldest sister, and she had stolen her eldest sister's jewelry a few times, but it was too late to hide.
Wen Ying saw her mother's eyes glaring at her, so she had to answer the word "um" dryly.
Wen Jing didn't say anything, and the scene became a little embarrassing for a while.
Jiang Shi glanced at Liu Shi and sneered in his heart. Wen Jing is a white-eyed wolf who can't be raised, climbing high branches, pheasants have become phoenixes, and these people are in a hurry.
With Wen Jing's reputation and temperament, can he live smoothly in the Prince's Mansion? If it's her daughter...... Jiang Shi really clenched the handkerchief in his hand angrily.
Wen Jing's mother is the original partner of Wen Zhinan, the general of Zhenbei, Xu, who was born in a civil official family and has a gentle and virtuous temperament. Wen Zhinan and Xu's young husband and wife have a very good relationship, but they regret that Xu's health is not good, and they have not been pregnant for many years of marriage.
Xu Shi ate all the home remedies, and when he was disheartened, he suddenly became pregnant.
This child has been the expectation of the husband and wife for many years, and the Xu family is naturally desperate to keep the child. However, Xu's was already weak, and a child took away all her spirit, and Wen Jing was born only a month ago, and Xu died of illness.
Wen Zhinan was heartbroken, pinned his feelings for Xu's on his daughter, and pampered him in every way, but he himself guarded the border all the year round, and he couldn't do it, so he had to listen to his mother's words and marry his stepwife Jiang.
Stepmothers, there are very few who can treat their original children as their own.
With Wen Zhinan's favor for Wen Jing, the Jiang family did not dare to treat Wen Jing harshly. However, he can do things in other places, for example, Wen Jing does not understand literature and ink, and has only read simple poetry books; Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, only the handwriting is good, or I learned it from the nurse. With the reputation of Wen Qiong from the Jiang family, it is also a heaven and an earth.
Wen Jing didn't understand it when he was a child, and he was very happy every day with his temperament. If it weren't for the nurse, I don't know what it would be like now.
At the beginning of the year, the emperor gave the eldest daughter of the general of Zhenbei to marry the crown prince Jiang Xufeng as the crown princess, and the wedding was three days ago, and today is the day when Wen Jing returns to the door.
Wen Jing had enough of appreciating everyone's expressions before Shi Shiran got up: "Madam, auntie, I should go to see the old lady." ”
Liu's expression was a little sneering, but Jiang also stood up, with a preachy tone: "Well, the eldest girl still remembers the old lady in her heart, and the etiquette is more comprehensive than before, so I can rest assured." The dining room is ready, and the kitchen is made for the big girl's favorite food. may not be as good as the prince's mansion, the eldest girl has also eaten for many years, so she won't be unaccustomed to it. ”
Wen Jing walked on the path to the Buddha hall, the old lady didn't care about things a few years ago, and built a Buddhist hall in the backyard, and nothing big could come out.
"The step-lady is really excessive, and the Liu family, now it is this face, it turns out to be ....." Lan Qian, a first-class maidservant who followed behind Wen Jing, muttered to Lan Qian next to her.
Lan Qian first raised her eyes and glanced at Wen Jing who was walking in front, and then pulled Lan Qian's sleeve: "Okay, Niangniang is now the crown princess, and the step-lady is also fast-tongued, Niangniang is not angry, don't worry about it." ”
"I ......" Lan Qian was about to say something, but when she saw Lan Yuan's eyes, she stopped talking.
The distance is so close, Wen Jing heard it, Lan Qian and Lan Yuan have followed her since she was a child. Lan Qian is anxious, and she can't hold back her words, but she also said in private that she has not made a mistake in doing things for so many years.
As for the Jiang family, it would be false to say that Wen Jing was not disgusted. The crown prince Jiang Xufeng is going to accompany her back to the door today, but her father is not in Beijing, and she doesn't want Jiang Xufeng to follow and make faces for the rest of the people in the mansion.
As soon as she entered the Prince's Mansion, before she could gain a firm foothold, these people began to borrow it in a hurry.
Cigarettes curled in the old lady's Buddhist hall, and the old lady knelt in front of the Buddhist shrine with her back to Wen Jing, and never looked back when she heard the movement.
Mama Chen, who was waiting for the old lady, stepped forward: "The slave has seen the princess Niangniang, and the maid is blessed with Jin'an." ”
"Mama doesn't have to be polite, I'll go back to the door today to say hello to my grandmother." Wen Jing gave a handful of help and motioned for Lan Yuan to take the gift to the old lady.
Mama Chen took the box with both hands, and it contained a ruyi of mutton fat and white jade, which was soft and moist, and it was a good thing at first glance.
Mama Chen looked back at the old lady, but the old lady still didn't respond, reciting Buddhist scriptures in her mouth. Mama Chen smiled at Wen Jing, and was blessed: "Forgive me, the old lady doesn't like to be interrupted when she recites the scriptures, the eldest girl has a heart, and the slave is determined to convey it to the eldest girl." ”
"It doesn't matter." Wen Jing spoke very well, nodded slightly, said another polite word, and left, "Then Mama Chen takes good care of her grandmother, and she must pay attention to her body." ”
Mama Chen looked at Wen Jing's back and sighed.
The old lady was also very satisfied with Mrs. Xu at first, but later Mrs. Xu was not pregnant for a long time, and the eldest lady refused to take a concubine. The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has not been as good as before since then, and after Xu's desperate birth of a daughter, the old lady was even more dissatisfied. It wasn't until the Jiang family entered the door that the eldest man had a son-in-law in his thirties.
The old lady regretted that she didn't choose the right wife for her son, and she never liked the eldest girl, and she had been indifferent for so many years.
Who would have thought that the eldest girl would have the creation she has today.
