Chapter 648: Elder's Shelf
In the Jin Palace's pre-arranged side hall, Mrs. Mao looked around slightly, roughly observed the furnishings, she also knew that although the Jinyang Palace was rebuilt into the Jin Palace, but the inventory of the furnishings was not given, then the layout in this side hall is the Jin princess is responsible for the installation in just a few days, although it does not look so luxurious and rich, but there is a special feeling, Mrs. Mao, as the housewife of the house, of course understands that this is a test of the woman's ability to run the house, so she moved her eyebrows slightly, although she was a little unwilling in her heart, But I have to admit it.
Although Concubine Liu is young and a concubine, although she is a student of Yingyang Zhenren, everyone knows that Yingyang Zhenren is not good at managing her family, but she didn't expect that Concubine Liu still has talent in this area.
She glanced at Zhen again, since she entered the Jin Palace, she looked around at Zhen, who was obviously a little like a pins and needles, the corners of her lips twitched slightly, and her speech became more and more slow: "Zhen Niang, how can you be so nervous, although the princess is noble, but she is also Zhen Niang's junior, so she has to call you uncle." ”
Zhen has a purpose in his heart today, and he is actually silently cheering for himself along the way, trying to convince himself that he doesn't have to be afraid of Concubine Liu, although the Jingzhao Liu Yanzong who is famous in Kyoto and is born in the middle of the day, but he is just a young bride, and he is a generation shorter than himself, do he dare to be disrespectful to himself and refuse the kind invitation of the elders in person?
But since she entered the Jin Palace, she saw the majestic eaves of this palace with her own eyes, and she couldn't help but be in awe, thinking about the rumors, the queen mother values the princess of Jin so much, and she is just an uncle of the same clan, can she really put an elder in front of the princess without fear?
It's just that the husband still has to rely on the support of Mao Fuyin to be expected to seek a beautiful job, and Zhen of course has to do his best to help Mrs. Mao achieve her wish, so she clenched her fists tightly at this time, barely with a relaxed smile: "The concubine has never experienced the majesty of the palace, which makes Mrs. laugh." ”
"This is no longer Jinyang Palace, it's just the Jin Palace." Mrs. Mao is very disdainful of Zhen's petty family, no wonder Taiyuan Liu, as the surname of the Liu family, was overwhelmed by Jingzhao Liu in the end.
Mrs. Mao thought that she was not born in the world, when she entered the Daming Palace, she met the queen mother who was in charge of the military and political power, and she was not as frightened as Zhen, which shows that this courage is not necessarily related to her background.
Zhen's mother's family is also a Taiyuan family, and her husband's family is a big surname, but seeing that Princess Jin is such a junior, she is so nervous that she can't sit still, if it weren't for the lure of interests, she is only afraid that she will not be able to slap the horse with Concubine Liu's beard, and where would she dare to offend a little.
Such contempt has not yet disappeared, and Mrs. Mao saw that on the bluestone corridor outside the hall, the maid in Tsing Yi was escorting the princess to pay for it, she did not hurry to avoid the table and stood up, respectfully but reserved to salute, which more and more set off Zhen's forced and calm demeanor.
Eleven Niang entered the side hall without squinting, but she had already taken the posture of the two women into her eyes, and she couldn't help but feel a little funny in her heart, Mrs. Mao's arrogant attitude was not obvious, it was unlikely to be aimed at herself, most likely because of the woman Taiyuan Liu, but since the two of them met today, they are undoubtedly in the same camp, why does Mrs. Mao need to despise her accomplices? What is there to be arrogant about this woman who only knows how to grovel in front of the Queen Mother, and it is rare for the Queen Mother to look at her directly?
After receiving the salute, Shi Niang slowly sat down, did not raise her eyelids, and only said in a slow tone: "Please sit down and talk." ”
Such a high-minded attitude of the master naturally made Zhen even more nervous, and even Mrs. Mao's heart sank.
She still remembers Liu Shiniang, who is next to the Queen Mother, such a quiet and amiable girl, who looks weak and easy to bully, how can she become a different person after becoming the princess of Jin?
"Madame is visiting today, I don't know what is important?" Eleven Niang asked, not politely speaking.
"It's not because it's important, it's just because I think that His Royal Highness and the princess have arrived in Jinyang, and it's approaching the New Year, and many matters in the palace are not complete, so the palace Yin told the concubine that it is best to invite His Royal Highness and the princess to live in the official residence temporarily, so as not to make the New Year cold and inconvenient."
Eleven Niang remained silent: "Thank you Fu Yin and Mrs. for your kindness, but this matter, you still need Your Highness to be the master, it just so happens that His Royal Highness went to the official office to meet with the subordinate officials today, presumably Mao Fu Yin will also mention this matter, if His Royal Highness agrees, there will definitely be an order later." ”
Isn't this nonsense, if it weren't for the fact that King Jin didn't know how to lift, where would I need to go on this trip in person, and grind my teeth with you, the princess, in one more move? Mrs. Mao complained again and again in her heart, but she still had a courteous smile on her face: "Your Highness met with her subordinates today, I am afraid that there is no idle theoretical trivial affairs, and the living and house affairs are originally handled by the princess, so the concubine came to discuss with the princess." ”
"I don't dare to be self-absorbed in this matter, Your Highness's temperament...... I can understand the elegance of Fu Yin and his wife, but I will not reply until I have consulted with His Highness. ”
Mrs. Mao also thought that Concubine Liu would not make her own assertions, and she did not force it, so she changed the topic for the time being: "This Zhen Niangzi, the husband is a disciple of Taiyuan Liuyanzong, and coincidentally Mrs. Zhen is also a close relative of the Taiyuan Liuzong woman, and she just came to visit our mansion today, and the concubine invited Zhen Niang to come to the palace together, presumably the princess has not seen the Taiyuan clan?" ”
Eleven Niang looked at Zhen and smiled slightly: "I'm young, and I'm a newcomer, so I don't have time to walk around with my relatives, but yesterday, the patriarch of the clan has sent someone to send a lot of things, and I want to take the time to pay a visit to thank the patriarch for his care." ”
When Zhen received Mrs. Mao's signal, he couldn't take it lightly, and mustered up the courage to hold up the elders: "My grandson is eight in the clan." "It's to let Eleven Niang meet each other as a junior.
"It turned out to be the eighth uncle." Shi Niang only chuckled.
She is the princess of Jin, don't say that she is just a distant relative of the same clan, even Mrs. Tai and Xiao's family, according to the national law, do not need Eleven Niang to hold the junior ceremony, but Eleven Niang is willing to respect each other with family etiquette, that is two words, if Eleven Niang wants to slow down Zhen's family, even the title of uncle can be omitted, let alone salute.
Zhen's face suddenly sneered, but Mrs. Mao's eyes slipped a trace of scheming, Zhen only explained the ranking of husbands, but Concubine Liu immediately reacted that Young Eunuch Liu was older than Liu Balang, and it seemed that he didn't know anything about the Taiyuan Liu family, so maybe he also knew that Liu Balang was just a branch of the grandson, and Zhen wanted to put on the prestige of this uncle, I was afraid that he would bring humiliation on himself.
But Mrs. Mao still handed Zhen a cold look.
Zhen had a cold sweat on his back, but he had no choice but to follow the plan: "My aunt heard that His Royal Highness and the princess were going to the domain before the New Year, and she was also very worried, for fear that the princess would be blamed by Her Royal Highness for her slight negligence...... Although it is inconvenient for His Royal Highness to disturb Mao Fuyin, he will never see his own family, and the princess must not ignore the kindness of her elders. ”
This means that even if Eleven Niang rejects Mao Wei, she can't refuse the warm invitation of her own parents.
Eleven Niang was silent, she probably understood why Mrs. Mao was so disdainful of Zhen, this excuse was too funny.
According to the law of etiquette, a woman who marries a husband and a woman should not obey her father's family, that is, Eleven Niang is only married to an ordinary family, and she should also focus on her husband's family, not to mention that Zhen is just a distant relative of the clan, so she has to be called an uncle by Eleven Niang, and she cannot force Eleven Niang and her husband to live in Taiyuan Willow House temporarily, and Zhen will call Mrs. Zhen an aunt, and as soon as people hear it, they will have insight into the fact that Zhen's husband's status in Taiyuan Willow is very low, and the meaning of weakness is undoubtedly revealed, but she represents Taiyuan Willow to give threats......
Isn't that nondescript?
"Uncle's intentions, I will tell His Highness." Eleven Niang is still prevaricating.
Seeing that Concubine Liu was not coerced, Zhen didn't dare to say more, and subconsciously looked at Mrs. Mao, only to see that the other party's eyes were cold, and he panicked, and he couldn't care about it anymore: "Although this matter is not in a hurry, there is one thing, and the elders of the clan feel that it is not polite when they hear it...... is Xue Shaoyin, although he has a teacher-student friendship with the princess, he is also a foreign man in the end, how can the princess stay in Xue Shaoyin to live in the Jin palace for a long time? "I'm afraid that Eleven Niang will pull this big banner of King Jin as a tiger skin again, and strike first:" Your Royal Highness has always acted perversely, but since the princess is from a prestigious family, she can't ignore etiquette, and there are some words that should be discouraged by His Royal Highness." ”
Eleven Niang smiled: "Uncle this is a misunderstanding of His Royal Highness, Xue Shaoyin has lived in the Jin Palace, it was originally my suggestion, Xue Shaoyin was ordered by the Queen Mother to implement the new policy, but His Royal Highness never asked about political affairs, where can he preside over the government?" Before leaving Beijing, the Queen Mother specially instructed me to pay more attention to the governance of the government, and be sure to assist His Royal Highness, Xue Shaoyin lives in the palace of the King of Jin, and it is also convenient for me to discuss government affairs with Shaoyin...... His Royal Highness served as the pastor of Taiyuan, and he was originally the official of Xue Shaoyin, and it was reasonable to invite his subordinates to stay in the palace. ”
At this moment, even Mrs. Mao was stunned on the spot!
