When Zhao Wanning left the house, he happened to meet Zhao Chen'an, who was learning the rules in the garden corridor.

It was cold in winter, and although the pavilion was surrounded by curtains to block the wind, it still had wind in all directions.

Zhao Chen'an was wearing thin clothes, standing in the snow, with a steaming bowl of hot tea on his head.

"What is she doing here?" Zhao Wanning asked puzzled.

The painting screen carefully tied the cloak on Zhao Wanning's body tighter, and put a hat on her, for fear that she would blow a trace of wind.

Silver Candle looked up and said, "Mama Zheng in the palace is teaching Miss Biao to walk." ”

"Do I still need to learn to walk?" Zhao Wanning was a little shocked.

Silver Candle is the son of the eldest princess's mansion, and she is naturally familiar with these royal rules, so she explained: "County Lord, the royal rules are very strict, and Miss Biao naturally has to learn the rules if she wants to enter the palace. ”

"And this kind of exquisiteness?" Zhao Wanning really didn't know.

"County Lord, you are a relative of the emperor, the daughter of the eldest princess, and the county lord of Qinghe, so naturally you don't have to. But Miss Cousin, she ......"

Silver Candle looked around, and then whispered: "Miss Biao's father is a guilty person, she has been removed from the royal family, and she is a common person. If such a person wants to participate in the palace banquet, must he have to work hard? ”

"I don't know why the eldest princess let her enter the palace, if something goes wrong, I'm afraid it will affect the eldest princess's mansion......"

"Silver candle, be careful." Zhao Wanning interrupted the silver candle: "I don't think I heard these words, and don't say them in the future." ”

"However, the girls in the house are all discussing." Silver Candle said aggrievedly. "I didn't say these words first, they were all said by the mothers in the hospital, and I just heard them."

The painting screen shook her head at the silver candle, motioning for her to say no more.

Silver Candle reluctantly shut up.

Zhao Wanning saw the aggrieved appearance of the silver candle and explained: "The rumors stop at the wise, if your words reach the ears of the eldest princess, what will she think?" What will Zhao Chen'an think? She couldn't get used to the people we invited to Yueyuan, and if she knew, she would definitely find a way to retaliate. ”

"I'm not afraid of her retaliating against me, but I can't guarantee that I'll be able to protect you at all times. If you continue to be so open-mouthed, I am afraid that it will bring you death. ”

As soon as he heard the calamity of killing, Silver Candle hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand, and said in a muffled voice: "County Lord, Silver Candle knows that he is wrong. ”

Zhao Wanning smiled: "It's good to know your mistakes." ”

When a few people walked to the corridor hall, they wanted to quietly bypass Zhao Chen'an and his party, but they didn't want to be seen by the serious Zheng Mama.

Mama Zheng walked in front of Zhao Wanning in a few steps, and respectfully saluted Zhao Wanning: "The slave has seen the county lord of Qinghe, the county lord of Qinghe Wanfu Jin'an!" ”

Several maids behind Mama Zheng also saluted.

Zhao Wanning smiled and said, "Mama, please get up." With that, she went to help Mama Zheng, who was half-squatting.

"Lord Xie." Mama Zheng thanked Zhao Wanning before she stood up, and the maid behind her also got up.

Zhao Chen'an, who was holding hot tea on his head, was angry. Why can she, Zhao Wanning, be treated politely by everyone, and even the old pious woman from the palace greeted her with a smile? Is it just because she's the county lord?

Zhao Chenan looked at Mama Zheng who was frowning at her angrily and turned her head to please Zhao Wanning, and sneered uncontrollably: "Who should I be, it turned out to be my sister Wanning, no wonder these subordinates immediately changed their attitudes." This Qinghe county lord is here, and he should try his best to curry favor. ”

"It's just that I never thought that the people in this palace would just rudder when they saw the wind, but I didn't expect that the people in this palace would be like this, like weeds growing on the walls of this courtyard."

When Zhao Chenan said this, he deliberately raised his eyebrows and looked at Mama Zheng beside Zhao Wanning. She said it bluntly, but everyone who heard it knew who she was talking about.

That Mama Zheng's face was as usual.

Zhao Wanning was about to speak, but was stopped by Mama Zheng.

Mama Zheng raised her legs and walked to Zhao Chen'an's side in a few steps.

Zhao Chenan deliberately smiled at Mama Zheng.

Mama Zheng also smiled at her. Before Zhao Chen'an could react, Mama Zheng raised her hand and gave her two slaps.

Mama Zheng is an old man in the palace, and when she was young, she also participated in the struggle between the nobles in the palace, and she knows how to beat people the most seriously with the least strength.

Her two slaps looked light, but in fact, they used a lot of force, and there was only a slight sound on Zhao Chen'an's cheeks. Zhao Chen'an's cheeks were already blown red by the wind, and the red seemed to be darker after being beaten by Mama Zheng.

From the outsider's point of view, it was only Mama Zheng who taught Zhao Chenan a lesson, and they didn't know how much effort Mama Zheng used.

Zhao Chenan was stunned by Mama Zheng's slap. She covered one cheek with one hand, pointed at Mama Zheng with the other, and was so angry that she couldn't even speak: "You, you, you ......"

Mama Zheng smiled slightly and said, "If you don't salute when you see your master, this is one of them." Speaking wildly in front of the master is the second one. Speaking disrespectfully about raising grandma is the third. You have made three mistakes. As your nurturing grandmother, I naturally have to teach you what etiquette is. ”

"I—I'm going to tell my aunt!" Zhao Chen'an was so angry that he turned around and wanted to complain to the eldest princess.

Mama Zheng raised her eyes and looked at the maids on both sides, and two maids stepped forward to stop Zhao Chen'an.

"The rules haven't been learned yet, so I advise you to stay longer."

"You, you, you ......" Zhao Chenan was stopped by two maids, she struggled, but the two maids were brought out of the palace by Mama Zheng, and the strength was so great that Zhao Chenan was held down and couldn't move.

Mama Zheng turned her head and saluted Zhao Wanning and said, "The slave is teaching, which makes the county lord smile." ”

"No, it's fine." Zhao Wanning was already shocked by Mama Zheng's smooth action of raising her hand to teach Zhao Chen'an, and she wanted to slip away when she raised her foot, for fear that she would be caught by Mama Zheng and taught a lesson. Zhao Wanning hurriedly said: "I still have something to do, I want to leave the house." ”

That Mama Zheng said gently: "Congratulations to the county lord." After that, he took the maids to salute Zhao Wanning and sent her away.

Even Zhao Chen'an was pressed by the two maids and forced to kneel on the ground to salute Zhao Wanning.

Zhao Wanning nodded, and hurriedly left with the silver candle and the painting screen.

Until he got into the carriage, Zhao Wanning still couldn't come back to his senses.

"This Mama Zheng is too bold, and she actually played Miss Cousin in front of so many people." Silver Candle exclaimed. But I have to say that she was too relieved to see when she hit someone. That young lady bullies the people in the mansion every day, and she also bullies the county lord, and someone should treat her. ”

"Silver Candle—"

"The county lord Silver Candle knows that he is wrong." Silver Candle said and covered her mouth with her hand.

"You." Zhao Wanning smiled and raised her hand and knocked on her head.

"But this Mama Zheng is really bold, I am a little scared when I look at it." Zhao Wanning said.

"What are you afraid of, county lord? You don't need to follow her rules. Silver Candle couldn't help but talk.

"The county lord is afraid that one day the eldest princess will suddenly let the county lord follow the rules." The painting screen said silently.

"Still understand me." Zhao Wanning patted his chest: "What if this Zhao Chen'an goes back to his mother to complain and pulls me to learn the rules together." ”

"How so? The eldest princess has been so concerned about the county lord recently, how can she let the county lord let you be tortured by Mama Zheng? Silver Candle said.

Zhao Wanning pulled the corners of her mouth and didn't speak. Who knows if the eldest princess will do this? Still, she won't be afraid. She now has two stores in her hands, and she can get a lot of income every month from the stores alone, which is more than enough to support herself. Even if she completely breaks with the eldest princess now, she is not afraid.

The carriage drove leisurely along the road.

Zhao Wanning lifted the window and looked out, the capital was still bustling.

The streets are full of pedestrians, and on both sides of the road are vendors doing business, everyone with a smile on their faces.

There are old grandfathers who carry rock sugar gourds to sell around, and there are also grandmothers who push carts to sell wontons.

There were also a few beggars dressed in single clothes who went from house to house.

Silver Candle looked along Zhao Wanning's line of sight, and saw a gray-haired old man in front of the carriage selling sugar gourds, she thought Zhao Wanning was greedy, so she took the initiative to say: "County Lord, do you want to eat this?" The silver candle will go down and buy it for you. ”

After that, without waiting for Zhao Wanning to open his mouth to stop him, he lifted the curtain and jumped down.

"Alas! Silver Candle! Zhao Wanning looked at the disappearing figure of the silver candle and said.

The painting screen said cautiously: "County Lord, were you looking at those beggars just now?" ”

Zhao Wanning lowered the window and turned her head to look at the picture screen.

Huaping hesitated: "They don't seem to be beggars......"

"I don't look like it," Zhao Wanning said thoughtfully: "Although their clothes are not very clean, the clothes also fit, not like they were picked up." ”

The painting screen nodded and said: "It's really not like it, if the slave is not mistaken, the tall man's clothes are fine Shu brocade, and although the woman's clothes next to him are dirty and the color is not clear, the placket is obviously embroidered." A beggar can't wear such elaborate clothes. ”

Zhao Wanning sighed, I'm afraid that this world will not be peaceful.

After a while, Silver Candle got into the car with three rock sugar gourds.

"Here, county lord." The silver candle picked the largest string and handed it to Zhao Wanning, "The silver candle deliberately picked a string of the sweetest." ”

Zhao Wanning took it with a smile, the hawthorns on the string of rock sugar gourds were all big and red, and they were also wrapped in a thick layer of golden syrup, Zhao Wanning took a bite, and his mouth was full of sweetness, with a hint of sourness.

Seeing Zhao Wanning's satisfied smile, Silver Candle reassuredly handed a string of sugar gourds to the painting screen: "Oh, I know you don't like to eat hawthorn, so I specially chose an apple for you." ”

The painting screen looked at the red apple that had been syruped and was a little stunned, and the silver candle saw that she didn't take it, so he directly reached out and stuffed it into her hand: "Taste it." ”

With that, Silver Candle took the last string of sugar gourds in his hand and ate them.

The silver candle ate quickly, she ate two hawthorns in three or two clicks, and when she looked up, she saw the picture screen and looked at the red apples.

"What's wrong with Paintscreen?" Silver Candle asked suspiciously, "Don't you like apples?" Then I'll go down and buy you an orange? ”

Only then did she come back to her senses, she smiled at the silver candle, and then said, "No, I like it very much." With that, she took a bite.

Apples are crisp and refreshing, mixed with sweet syrup, and are refreshing to eat.
