Chapter 114: Zhao Mansion
Murong Shen waited for a while, but he couldn't hold back the surging jealousy, and reminded lightly: "Please move quickly, don't delay entering the palace." ”
Xu Jing didn't reply, and waved his hand casually: "Don't talk nonsense." I didn't enter the palace to see others, the emperor is my cousin, and the prince is my cousin, sooner or later, if you are afraid of something, you can blame me. ”
Xu Jing didn't put gold on his face. Among the seven vassal kings, in terms of origin and bloodline, the King of Beihai is indeed a close branch of the royal family.
Xu Jing and the current His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are the same great-grandfather. Emperor Yongming is indeed Xu Jingtang's uncle.
However, is Xu Jing too confident? He didn't know that he would be a lamb to the slaughter when he entered the palace!
The corners of Murong Shen's mouth hooked up a sneer, and he simply waited patiently.
Zhao Xiyan whispered through the car curtain: "Brother Chunsheng, you have memorized everything I said to you." I'm waiting for you in Zhao Mansion. ”
Xu Jing nodded.
The two carriages had traveled for a while, and then they parted ways.
Zhao Xiyan counted silently in his heart, and waited for the carriage to go far away before lifting the curtain and glancing out.
In her previous life, she was in the capital for two years. However, she has been in the palace and has never been out of the palace. The capital is still unfamiliar to her.
The hosta begonia was very excited, and while looking around, she laughed in a low voice: "Miss, there are so many people in the capital. ”
"The streets are full of shops and vendors, and it's very lively!"
"Huh? There seems to be someone juggling over there. ”
They were watching the bustle of the capital, but they didn't know that there were also many people looking around.
The bamboo curtains on the windows are specially made to make them look very clearly from the inside out, and vice versa, they are blurry. Zhao Xiyan only lifted the curtain slightly, revealing half of his side face, which has attracted a lot of attention.
Zhao Xiyan quickly lowered the curtain.
The carriage traveled for about an hour before it stopped.
At this point, it was almost noon.
The sun was blazing, and the aunt of the lobby, Sun, greeted her at the main entrance with a smile. The two young women standing beside Sun are the second sister-in-law in the lobby. There is also a thirteen or fourteen-year-old pretty girl with big and flexible eyes, who should be the seventh cousin Zhao Queyu.
Zhao Xiyan's heart warmed, and he hurriedly got out of the carriage and stepped forward to salute: "Xiyan has seen the aunt in the lobby, and the sister-in-law and sister-in-law in the lobby. ”
The Sun family is also from the capital family, and after Zhao Yuanren was admitted to the Jinshi, he married the Sun family. Over the years, the Sun family has never been to Beihai County, and naturally they have never seen Zhao Xiyan.
At this time, I was almost shocked.
"I heard that you are beautiful, but when I see you today, I know what the color of the country is." Sun's eyes were full of amazement, holding Zhao Xiyan's hand, and he couldn't stop praising it.
The sister-in-law in the lobby and the second sister-in-law were also shocked by Zhao Xiyan's complexion.
No wonder that Captain Murong insisted on marrying and refused to give up. Such a beautiful girl, even if they are also women, it is difficult to look away when they see it.
The seventh cousin, Zhao Queyu, had a lively personality and happily took Zhao Xiyan's other hand: "As soon as the sixth cousin comes, I will have someone to accompany me in the future." ”
Although they have never met, the intimacy brought by blood is so real.
Zhao Xiyan's heart was warm, and he laughed softly: "I am here, I don't know how long I will stay in the capital, and I will have to worry about the aunt in the lobby, the two sisters-in-law, and the seventh sister in the future." ”
Sun smiled: "What kind of trouble is this. It's all a family, don't say anything out of sight. Since I received the letter from your father, I have asked people to clean up a spacious yard, which happens to be adjacent to the courtyard of Magpie Feather. In the future, it will be convenient for you two sisters to speak together at all times. ”
"Let's go, auntie, I'll take you to have a look."
What kind of aunt in the lobby, it's too awkward to scream. The Sun family naturally changed his name and took Zhao Xiyan's hand and entered the Zhao Mansion.
Zhao Xiyan was as good as a stream, and he also changed his words; "Thank you, auntie."
Sun personally led Zhao Xiyan into the Invitation Moon Garden.
This yard is spacious and elegant, and a few pear trees are planted in the yard, and the pear blossoms have fallen at this time, and the leaves are luxuriant, and there are green fruits the size of a child's fist dotted among them. A faint fragrance came with the wind.
Zhao Xiyan liked it at a glance.
Seeing Zhao Xiyan's eyebrows and smiles, Sun felt quite relieved, and said with a smile: "You like to practice calligraphy and painting, I specially asked people to clean up the study." There is also a place to practice piano and play chess in the study. Do you like it or not? If there's anything missing, just tell me. ”
With such intentions, how could Zhao Xiyan not be moved, and was about to say thanks, but Sun smiled again: "Family, don't thank you for coming and going." You can live in peace. ”
Sun instructed Zhao Xiyan to settle down and rest, and then set up a reception banquet in the evening. Then he led his daughters-in-law away.
Zhao Queyu was reluctant to leave, so he was cheeky and stayed.
The soldiers were all strong and quickly moved all the luggage in the car into the yard. The hosta commanded to put it in the warehouse, and Begonia went to the boudoir to clean up.
Zhao Queyu looked around with great interest and asked with a quiet smile: "Sixth cousin, where is the brother-in-law of the prince?" ”
Zhao Xi's cheeks were slightly red: "He entered the palace to face the saint." After a pause, he smiled and said, "I haven't married him yet, so don't call me brother-in-law at this time." ”
Zhao Queyu is the youngest daughter in the family, pampered since she was a child, lively, and playful and cute when she laughs: "It's already married, it's a matter of time before you get married, and it's okay to call it earlier!" ”
Zhao Xiyan pursed her lips and smiled, and let her be.
Zhao Queyu asked about Beihai County, Zhao Xiyan picked some interesting things to say, Zhao Queyu listened to it with relish, and sighed: "It's a pity that I have never been out of the capital when I am so old, let alone Beihai County." ”
He inquired curiously about what he had seen and heard on the way.
Zhao Xiyan whispered about buying a girl.
Zhao Queyu was shocked and angry, and suddenly got up: "There is such a tragic thing in this world!" Sixth cousin, what about those girls, I want to see with my own eyes. ”
Zhao Xiyan nodded and called Marigold to lead the way.
After disembarking from the carriage, the twenty girls were led into an empty house at the back of the courtyard.
A five-year-old girl timidly asked, "Sister Erniu, will we live here in the future?" ”
The second girl is older and has the most ideas, so she naturally became the backbone of the girls: "Don't be afraid, we will have a good life with the girl in the future." ”
Then, the beautiful girl who bought them and saved their lives came.
The leading second girl knelt down and kowtowed, and said loudly: "The slave has seen the young lady." ”
The rest of the young girls immediately knelt down and kowtowed.
In the past half a month, they have eaten enough every day, and their originally yellow and emaciated faces have turned bloody. They have changed into clean clothes, and the rules have not been learned well, but they have some appearances.
Zhao Xiyan said softly: "Get up!" ”
It's the second girl who takes the lead.
Zhao Queyu looked over one by one and saw ignorant faces. The heart is heavy, and there is some inexplicable discomfort.
She grew up carefree and happy until she was thirteen years old. On this day, something heavy suddenly broke into her world.
