Chapter 32: A Feast Without a Good Feast (Part I)
"Good. Mrs. Meng will not abandon ......"
"Since we are in the same boat through thick and thin, we are sisters, don't call me Madame."
Qin Shi pulled Xin Nian to sit down beside him again, and sighed: "You don't know, in this mansion, listening to them call me Mrs. in their mouths, how much I feel in my heart. These two words are like a knife full of ridicule, the knife is cutting my heart, where am I a lady? I'm just an ornament. ”
"Sister, don't think like this, your body is so weak, don't you know if you're overthinking? Take this title as an example, you are the wife of the prince who is married to the Ming media, you are on the royal jade, whether you are favored by the prince or not, whether you are liked by your in-laws, you are a veritable lady of the prince. Taunt? Where did the face come from? Do you know if it's not jealousy? As the saying goes, not being jealous is mediocrity, my sister looks at their salivating faces, as long as the son of the world does not divorce his wife, you should feel happy if you are stable in this son. ”
Xin Nian comforted the Qin family, only to see her smile and say, "Listen to this, what are you salivating?" Am I a dish? “
"Even if it's a dish, you're the most honorable dish on the table." Xin Nian also smiled: "I'm just making an analogy, you must not feel sorry for yourself, in the position of Mrs. Shizi, others only have a red eye, and the cynicism is just to cover up the jealous face." ”
Lizhi on the side suddenly interjected: "It would be good if our grandmother had the character of an aunt, but she always said that she was not worthy of her name, and she cried all day long, and if she continued like this, her body would naturally get worse and worse." ”
"Do you want to talk more?" Qin glared at Lychee: "Sister Xin is comforting me, you are still serious." ”
"Although it is comforting, it is also my heartfelt words." Xin Nian patted Qin's hand: "Sister doesn't want to think about it, why are they laughing at you?" Is it because you don't want to be this lady? Isn't it because you can't reach it? So I can only talk about it, but I don't know how much I have red eyes. ”
Qin nodded: "What you said is on point, so the Liao family hates me like a thorn in the flesh, if I hadn't blocked her way, she would have justifiably been the lady of this world." ”
"She thinks about it, and the princess wants to too, but it's useless if the princess and the prince don't agree."
Xin Nian encouraged the Qin family and said: "Sister, relax, the prince may not love you, but there is at least the least respect for you, he is one day, you will be your wife in peace, what about the demons?" I can't move your foundation. I have been to Biansai since I was a child, my father and the Northern Hungarian fought for most of his life, if the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, the Northern Hungarians obviously have more advantages, but our Great Xia is united, and it does not move, for decades, the enemy has not made any inch. My father was always proud of this, and he said that the more fierce the enemy, the more he could not help you. There is nothing more proud of life than this. ”
The Qin clan had never heard such remarks, and his eyes widened, "Is that so?" But I often hear people talk about General Xin, and they all say that his biggest regret is that he failed to counterattack North Hungary and go deep into the desert. “
Xin Nian smiled bitterly: "This is indeed the greatest wish of every border general. However, the situation is like this, a few years ago, Daxia emphasized literature and light military force, and the border fortress was in a weak position, not to mention the counteroffensive, and being able to hold the territory was already the result of the bloody struggle of the soldiers. Now that the prince is sitting in northern Xinjiang, I heard that we are working hard, maybe in the future, we can finally advance into the desert, seal the wolf and live in Xu, and raise our eyebrows. ”
The Qin clan was stunned, Lychee knew her thoughts, and said softly: "Auntie is right, Madam think about it, isn't your current situation the same as General Xin that day?" ”
Qin nodded, and Xin Nian also said in a deep voice: "So my sister should always comfort herself, the more she is in such a situation, the more radiant and solid she should be." ”
Qin smiled with relief: "If my sister can often bring two children to sit with me and talk to me, I will be as solid as a rock." ”
"Good. Sister, the scenery in this yard is good, as long as you are willing, I will often bring the six girls over for a walk, and eat and drink by the way. ”
"Yes, why don't you want to, I can't ask for it."
Qin agreed repeatedly, and the two talked for a while, Xin Nian saw that the sun was gradually sinking, so he got up and said goodbye.
*****************
"Chen'er, once your mother is not there in the future, you have to listen to your grandmother well, and let the eldest young master and the fourth young master do everything; Chen'er, you have to work hard to study, you don't want to be glorious and rich in the future, you just want to be able to move out of the prince's mansion, even if you live the life of ordinary people, it is actually much better than this rich and noble Zhumen......"
Aunt Gu was tidying up her son's clothes while telling her. The nine-year-old child was already ignorant and aware of the world, Gu Yuchen listened to his mother's words, only felt that it was inappropriate, and he was even more uneasy, so he whispered: "Did my mother do something wrong?" If you do something wrong, you go and beg grandma, she may be able to help us, no matter how bad it is, and the princess and grandmother, she likes me very much on weekdays, why don't we go and ......"
"It's nothing, don't think about it, my mother just asks you in vain where she thinks of it. Okay, my mother is going to Aunt Xin's tonight, and when dinner is delivered, I'll let Cattail serve you, and then you can read a book for a while, so you can wash up and rest early......"
After chattering like this for a while, she sent Gu Yuchen back to the house, where Aunt Gu watched the sun go down and the twilight covered the courtyard, so she sighed and said, "Those who should come always have to come, let's go." ”
"Yes."
Her personal maid Vanilla agreed, thought about it and couldn't help but say: "There is no good banquet, why should my aunt go over?" Although Aunt Xin is favored now, you don't have to look at her face, Auntie, there is a grandmother ......"
Without waiting to finish speaking, I saw Aunt Gu shaking her head and sighing: "Today, the princess went to Qingliang Courtyard in person, what was the result?" Since she dared to call me over, she naturally had her reasons, how could she not bow her head when she was under the eaves? As for grandma, hehe! When the time comes, if she doesn't kill me, she will be merciful, and I can still expect her to save me? Don't even think about it. ”
"But my aunt obviously did this because of my grandmother, how can my grandmother ......?"
Vanilla was angry, and saw Aunt Gu walk out of the door, and said softly: "Big fish eat small fish, small fish eat dried shrimp, there is nothing more important in the world, should small fish and small shrimp be eaten?" The so-called equality of all beings is just a lie, who will tell you this truth? ”
As he spoke, he walked out of the courtyard. Vanilla didn't dare to say anything more, but her heart became more and more sad and indignant, what Aunt Gu said to the second young master just now seemed to be explaining the aftermath, how could she not be shocked.
After a while, she came to Qingliang Courtyard, and when the little girl outside the door saw them, she opened the curtain and reported: "Auntie, Aunt Gu is here." ”
"Please let her in."
Xin Nian agreed, and when she saw Aunt Gu walking in from outside, she got up from her seat and said with a smile: "I didn't think my sister would arrive so soon, please take a seat, I will order someone to go to the kitchen to pass the meal." ”
Aunt Gu smiled miserably and said lightly: "Who has the heart to eat this time?" If there is something wrong with my sister, you might as well say it clearly, and I will listen to it. ”
Xin Nian looked at Aunt Gu intently, and after a while, she saw the other party look away, she slowly nodded and smiled: "In this case, I will get straight to the point." Has my sister figured out how to excuse herself with her wife? ”
