Chapter 16: The Aftermath
"This Zhao Xiyan must not marry into the door."
In the inner room, the princess of Beihai said to the king of Beihai with an annoyed face: "In the past, I had little contact, and I couldn't see my true temperament. Today I can be regarded as having figured it out. ”
"She didn't take me, the princess of Beihai, in her eyes at all, and she confronted me in front of me, so that I couldn't get off the stage. Later, in the garden, Xie Jiao was pushed again, and the girl of the Wang family fell and was injured. ”
"I can't be blessed with such a daughter-in-law."
The King of Beihai glanced at his old wife and replied unhurriedly: "Today it was you who first mentioned Miss Zhao Liu's deceased mother, and your words were mean, so Miss Zhao Liu spoke back. ”
"The things in the garden were also picked by Xie Jiao's girl first, but she didn't fight anyone."
"Soft on the outside and rigid on the inside, thoughtful, powerful, beautiful and outstanding. You are not satisfied with such a daughter-in-law, so who do you plan to let your son marry in the future? ”
Princess of the North Sea: "......"
The princess of Beihai was so angry that she slapped the coffee table hard, and the tea bowl on the coffee table was shaken, making a crisp clang: "There are many good girls in this world." I don't believe it, I can't pick out a better one than her. ”
The King of the North Sea laughed: "There are indeed a lot of good girls. But your tempered son recognized this one. ”
Princess Beihai was choked and stared: "Which side is the prince on?" ”
The King of Beihai was a little helpless, and slowed down his voice: "When the girl of the Zhao family passes the door, it is not too late to slowly train you." Now that the family affairs have not been brushed aside, you have put on the prestige of your mother-in-law, which is too much. ”
"It's your fault, what else are you wronged about?"
"You have a cup of tea to dispel the anger in your heart. Chunsheng will come later, you can talk to him well. Don't open your mouth and shut up and say that Miss Zhao Liu's is not, which makes Chunsheng unhappy. ”
The princess of Beihai was stunned and snorted from her nose.
Waited and waited, and when it was dark, I didn't see my son coming.
The princess of Beihai sent the maid to urge twice, but Xu Jing still didn't come.
Princess Beihai couldn't hold it back, got up and went to the study.
A group of soldiers stood guard outside the study. Seeing that the princess was coming, the soldiers hurriedly bowed their hands. Xu Shiyi secretly said in his heart that it was not good, and deliberately raised his voice: "The little one has seen the princess Niangniang." ”
Princess Beihai glared unhappily: "What are you doing with such a loud voice!" ”
Of course, it's a wake-up call for the master in the study.
Xu Shiyi smiled: "The small one is naturally loud, which scares the mother, and the small one has his own palm." ”
The Princess of Beihai snorted and stepped forward to push the door.
It was already dark at this point, and the candlestick was somehow placed in the corner, and the light was a little dim. Xu Jing's standing posture was also strange, with a sideways face: "Why is the mother concubine here?" ”
The princess of Beihai was suspicious in her heart, and quickly stepped forward and stretched out her hand to pull her son's face. At a glance, the Beihai princess raised her eyebrows, and she was furious, and her voice suddenly rose: "Who did this move?" ”
Xu Jing hid in the study for an hour, and then applied ice to his face, most of his fingerprints had disappeared, and traces could still be seen if he looked closely.
Xu Jing replied without changing his face: "When I was playing with Zheng Xuanqing before, he waved his fist and accidentally touched my face. It's a trivial matter, it's not worth mentioning. ”
Princess Beihai was furious: "This Zheng Erlang! If I see him another day, I will scold him. ”
He touched his son's face in distress.
Xu Jing dodged and got out of the way: "Mother, I'm such a big person, don't touch my face." ”
Princess Beihai was angry and funny: "I'm your mother, what's wrong with touching your face!" ”
No matter what Princess Beihai said, Xu Jing still dodged anyway.
When he was a child, he was touched on the forehead by his mother and four sisters, and after he was seven years old, he was not happy to be touched by a woman. Unless it's the crescent moon sister who wants to kiss him and touch him......
"What do you think, why are you blushing." Princess Beihai stared at her son with a pair of eyes, not letting go of the slightest change.
Xu Jing: "......"
No matter how thick-skinned Xu Jing was, he couldn't speak, and coughed: "It's nothing." Then he asked with a stiff face: "Why is the mother concubine making things difficult for Sister Yue'er today?" ”
As the saying goes, one thing descends one thing.
The princess of Beihai was dissatisfied with her temper in every way, and Xu Jing's annoyed face suddenly disappeared without a trace, and she softened her voice and said: "Today is the concubine's careless speech, and the concubine will not say it in the future." ”
Xu Jing still had a stinky face.
Princess Beihai had to take another step back: "When Miss Zhao Liu and Lu, I will prepare a generous gift, and then go to watch the ceremony in person." ”
Xu Jing was silent.
"As soon as the ceremony is over, I will ask Mrs. Zheng to come to the door to propose." The princess of Beihai retreated.
Xu Jing grinned at this time: "Thank you, concubine." ”
The princess of Beihai breathed a sigh of relief and sighed again and again in her heart. This is the magic star of her fate!
……
The county watchman's house.
Mrs. Xie, who was a little fierce between her eyebrows and eyes, asked her eldest daughter-in-law Xu Ying with a calm face: "Jiaojiao has been crying in the boudoir for a long time today, and she refuses to say anything." ”
"What the hell is going on today? Who would dare to bully her like that? You, the eldest sister-in-law, why don't you support her? ”
In terms of identity, Xu Ying is the daughter of the vassal king and the county lord canonized by the imperial court.
The eldest sister Xu Fang married the son of Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, and the second sister Xu Zhi married the son of Xungui. Xu Ying married into the Xie family, and it was completely a lower marriage.
Xie Junshou is a civil official of the fourth grade. The Great Jin Dynasty had one hundred and three counties, and there were more than a hundred county guards. This shows the weight of the county guard in the imperial court.
At that time, Xie Junshou had just come to take office, and he took his family to Beihai Wangfu to ask for peace. Fifteen-year-old Xu Ying fell in love at first sight with Xie Ling, the son of the Xie family. That's why this family business came about.
Xu Ying married into the Xie family with a very rich dowry, never oppressed people as the county lord, honored her in-laws, and tolerated her sister-in-law Xie Jiao everywhere. Gentle and virtuous, everyone knows.
That's it, Mrs. Xie is also dissatisfied with her eldest daughter-in-law.
Xu Ying has been married into the Xie family for four years, not to mention her grandson, she didn't even give birth to a granddaughter, and her stomach has not moved. A year ago, Mrs. Xie wanted to take a concubine for her son, but Xu Jing, the arrogant and domineering son of the King of Beihai, actually came directly to the door and beat her brother-in-law.
Xie Ling, who was beaten and had a nosebleed, said to his brother-in-law: "I never had the idea of taking a concubine, but my mother secretly released the news from me. I won't do anything to be sorry for Yingniang! ”
Xu Jing stopped at this time, and before leaving, he glared at Mrs. Xie coldly, and thousands of threats were in his eyes.
Mrs. Xie was disgraced, and she didn't dare to mention taking a concubine to her son, but she became more and more critical of her eldest daughter-in-law. Every now and then, he makes a face.
Today, Xie Jiao happily went to the Beihai Palace, and before noon, she came back by carriage. Hiding in the boudoir and crying for an afternoon.
Mrs. Xie felt sorry for her daughter, and she became more and more unkind to her daughter-in-law.
As everyone knows, Xu Ying was also sullen today, and responded with a faint expression: "It's better to wait for Jiaojiao's mood to calm down and say it yourself!" The daughter-in-law really didn't have the face to say. ”
Mrs. Xie: "......"
