Chapter 38: The first meeting of true flesh and blood
Only then did Zhen Ying know that this fairy sister, who was extremely dazzling in her eyes, was just a maid in the palace.
Because she was assigned the job of burning the fire, Zhen Ying was reluctant to give her own clothes from her eldest sister. But even Zhen Lian's new clothes, in the eyes of the maids in the palace, are no different from the rags of beggars.
The maidservant girl named Lianyu looked at her for a moment, and simply got out of the car to fetch water in person, let Zhen Ying wash her face in the carriage, and turned out her own clothes to change for her.
I don't know what material this material is, but today it is softer and lighter than the monk's vestment. Zhen Ying was afraid that he would accidentally tear it, so he was a little cringe when he acted.
Lian Yu was already a kind person, but she was even more distressed when she saw this, and only said: "Miss should have been wearing her own clothes, but the maid was arrogating." ”
Zhen Ying stretched out her body at this time, and let Lianyu change her new clothes, install a heater, and tie her belt.
At this time, she felt strange in her heart, compared to four, and pointed to herself, meaning: "There are four sisters in the family, why only call me one?" ”
Lian Yu smiled: "The girl just goes, it's a good thing after all, I won't eat you." ”
After a short time, the carriage arrived at the post station, and Lian Yu led Zhen Ying out of the carriage, and two extraordinarily dressed girls greeted her.
The two of them glanced at Zhen Ying's outfit: "Please also ask the girl to freshen up and change her clothes and see the prince again." ”
Zhen Ying was uneasy, thinking that the uncle was relying on her to be an orphan girl, so she wanted to send her to the old prince as a concubine.
Although Zhen Zhiwen has the intention of compensating her, the ancients have a clear mind.
Zhen Ying secretly asked Zhen Lian why the sisters all went to school and left her at home.
Zhen Lian couldn't cry or laugh: "Our pediatric thing, that is, an enlightenment effect, is not as good as what your great grandmaster taught by the ancestor of the first child, you have the kung fu to listen to the class, it is better to meditate and practice more." ”
"Mama Shen said it herself, what our family keeps are all old habits, and when the first emperor was the emperor, it was scrapped. The emperor and queen, with several princes, are the most unruly. Those rituals are nothing but things to bluff outsiders. Since there are national fortunes to assist in cultivation, evaluation, etc., there is naturally a Heavenly Dao that as long as you are dedicated to the country and have no loss in righteousness, you don't have to stick to those small things. ”
"Then, uncle, you don't mention letting me go to school?"
Zhen Lian said: "I mentioned it to him, but your uncle said that since the family doesn't expect you to glorify your ancestors, you can live comfortably." As long as we have a few chances, you don't have to worry about your way out anymore. Some people are willing to marry you and give you home. ”
In Zhen Zhiwen's view, the best compensation is to let Zhen Ying lie flat and be a rice worm.
The rice tank in the palace sounds like it is much bigger than the Zhen family.
No, no one really thinks so?
Zhen Ying was a little weak-hearted.
The two sisters who can entertain her are all bright-eyed and dignified, each with its own style and beauty.
Such a beautiful sister thinks that she is only worthy of being a maid, and the old prince will definitely not look down on herself as a girl.
Still a dumb one.
She must have thought of it, followed the two fairy-like girls into the house, burned incense and bathed, changed into new clothes, and brought a bronze mirror to take a photo.
It is worthy of being a person who relies on clothes, she was originally a daughter of a thorn hairpin cloth skirt, and now she is a cowardly girl!
Although the girl in the mirror has not grown, her handsome eyes and eyebrows are trimmed, and she looks like a beauty. Dressed in a turquoise straight coat, the skin is fair, and the posture is beautiful.
Zhen Ying got the new clothes, and when she saw that the material was excellent, she hugged her fists half happily and half sadly, picked up the hem of her skirt and gestured to the clothes: "Two sisters, how much is this dress worth?" How long will I borrow it and wear it? You told me to change this dress, but what if it gets dirty? ”
The goose-faced maid at the beginning said: "Slave and maid Tanxue, you can put ten thousand hearts, this dress is worthy of yours." ”
The other was calm and gentle: "The maid listens to the frost." This dress is tailored to your body, if there is something unsuitable, hurry up and tell us, there are other preparations. ”
Zhen Ying thought that the battle was extremely strong when the prince came, so that he would not be able to afford to give away a single dress, and he felt a little happy in his heart.
Her mother died early, and the little property left behind had already been confiscated into the public by You's family, this set of clothes was worth a lot of money at a glance, and after a few days, together with Shen Mama Song's bracelet, the pawn was exchanged for silver, and he could be harder on hand.
After a while, Menzi said: "The prince and Master Zhen are still talking, let the girl have some snacks." ”
Since the Zhen family arrived in the countryside, they were accustomed to only having breakfast and lunch.
Except for the old grandmother who married in Jingzhong, everyone else didn't eat dinner, and Zhen Ying was hungry in her stomach, so she bowed and sat down on the table generously.
There were four sweet, four salty and eight kinds of dim sum on the low table, and Zhen Ying only ate one piece, and felt that she had made a lot of money this time.
The first thing she reached for was osmanthus cake, which melted fresh and sweet in her mouth, and she took advantage of her grandmother's hunger strike these days to eat a lot of good snacks.
But today's entrance is more than ten points stronger than usual.
Tanxue, who was waiting on the side, heard that the frost was secretly happy. It's a good thing that children can eat, and you must give it to the stove later.
Zhen Ying is a child, she is happy when she eats delicious food, and she puts all her previous anxiety behind her, and if she wants to see her uncle later, she must thank her.
After Zhen Ying finished eating the snack, Zhen Zhiwen came in with his inner family.
Seeing that Zhen Ying was the only one in the room, she paused slightly, and didn't ask her why her sisters came differently, but only told her how to salute and thank the prince when she saw him.
At the end, his expression was serious and solemn: "Since you are here today, it should be your creation." Concubine Wu died early, had no children under her knees, and now she is old, and it is really lonely to live in the palace, so she wants an innocent orphan girl to be adopted as an adopted daughter. ”
Zhen Zhiwu went behind his back and dedicated his fourth-room niece to the palace, this could not be said directly, he made up a lie, and tried to be as tactful as possible.
I heard that there are high-level servants in the palace, and there are maids and maids to serve them, so they must be not much different from ordinary ladies.
Let's fool people first.
How did he know that the steward and his "recognizing an adopted daughter" was not an excuse, but that the prince really had this idea.
"You also know the situation at home, your parents are also gone, the prince is your best way out, if it happens, your parents will have light on their faces even if they are under Jiuquan." After that, he sighed: "Your uncle has only one son under his knees, and he has always treated you as his own daughter, if you can really get the blue eyes of King Wu, don't forget your uncle." ”
Zhen Ying followed the uncle into the flower hall and saluted the main seat.
Zhen Ying couldn't see his face clearly, only saw a homely moon-white material, embroidered with auspicious clouds of the same color, and reflected a good style in the dim candlelight.
Seeing that Zhen Zhiwen came in with Zhen Ying, this person bowed his head slightly and said, "This is the cousin and nephew you are talking about, the one named Zhen Ying?" The etiquette is exactly the same, but it is not like ordinary small doors. You tell me the truth with this king, is this little girl really dead in both parents? ”
At this time, it is inconvenient for women to see foreign men, even if they go out of the second door, they always have to be blocked by a screen, Zhen Ying lowered her eyes through a thin bead curtain according to the rules.
The bead curtain is fine and dense, it is a string of pearls the size of a fine rice grain, it is not more expensive, only one benefit, it can make the curtain see clearly outside the curtain, but the curtain can not see inside the curtain, and the women in the palace only ask out such a piece when they see outsiders.
Through the bead curtain, Zhen Ying didn't see the specific appearance of this King Wu, and just waited to listen to the uncle's orders.
I only heard Zhen Zhiwen say: "It's true, my cousin's niece and nephew of my own family, have you ever dared to lie to Your Highness?" ”
He took out the ability to sell goods on weekdays: "This girl has been smart since she was a child, and she is very liked by the old lady, so she has been kept in the old lady's room. ”
King Wu folded the fan in his hand and slapped it in his palm: "I said, it turned out to be a girl taught by Mama Shen, and the rules naturally can't be wrong." That grandmother is the old man next to my mother, a few days ago, I heard Li Sanjia say that he was bored in Zhuangzi, and asked his mother to ask for an order to go outside to meet the old sisters, and it was to your house. I heard before that I was in Yunxian County, and it happened that I had to go back a little bit on this trip, so I never thought of such a coincidence. ”
"Yes, yes, it should be the creation of this girl's life." Zhen Zhiwen is like a businessman who is afraid that the goods will be smashed in his hands, and he sells hard.
"Oh, it's a coincidence, it's really a coincidence, you and I are still a little close, your great-grandmother is the sister-in-law of Yong'anbo in the previous dynasty, and my mother and Mrs. Yong'anbo are cousins, if you calculate carefully, you still have to call me uncle."
Zhen Zhiwen hurriedly knelt down: "Where do the grass people dare to kiss the prince." ”
King Wu waved his hand: "It's late, the little girl will go to rest first, and I'll ask you for a seal in a few days, in the end, it's an adopted daughter, I have to think of a way, so that you can walk around in Beijing." ”
Zhen Zhiwen had to nod his head when he saw the brother-in-law of the county order on weekdays, and he did everything he could to flatter, and suddenly his niece flew up the branch and became a phoenix, and he was suddenly surprised: "This is not necessary, the little girl is blessed ......."
The prince raised his hand to interrupt him: "Since you have followed this king, the blessing of this king is her blessing." ”
Zhen Zhiwen didn't dare to speak again.
"There is no need to change the surname, this king hates dealing with the Zongren Mansion the most." King Wu said, and thought for a while: "It's just that the name has to be distinguished from your sisters, the name 'Ying' is very good, I heard that your mother gave it, so don't change it, this king only adds the word 'world' to you, and it will be called Zhen Shiying in the future." ”
