Chapter 149: Ah Xing is clamoring to eat sauce elbows
Fourteen was reused by Kangxi, and the ministers of the DPRK and China attached themselves one after another, and the wives and wives who went to my west courtyard to ask for gifts also kept coming. As the heroine of the Fourteenth Baylor Mansion, I can't embarrass the Fourteenth, I need to hold the shelf everywhere, and I don't dare to relax for a moment, which is tired and annoying. On this day, Ah Xing clamored to eat sauce elbows, and also hand-picked and said, "Don't make old plums, Eniang makes it delicious"
I:......
I said, "It's spring, and I haven't gone out to walk around, so let's go to the street to buy snacks to eat, okay?" Ah Xing jumped three feet and cheered: "I want to eat acacia spring cakes!" I ordered Minqiu to take a pack of silver from the drawer and several silver tickets, and said with a smile: "Whatever you want to eat, E-Niang will buy it for you." Then he said to the lady who was on duty at the bottom of the corridor, "Tell someone to prepare a carriage, and if anyone comes, they will say that I am not well and cannot see any guest." "The girl answered, hurry up and get ready.
Min Qiu served me in a slightly plain moon-white embroidered small orchid robe, with a slanted bun and a hairpin inlaid with broken emerald jade and silver hairpins. And Ah Xing, changed into a light water red pleated skirt, combed with a double bun, pink carved jade, extremely cute. We took a carriage to the market in the west of the city, and did not call the eunuch to follow, but ordered two guards to disguise themselves as grooms and servants, and serve with Minqiu.
Ah Xing has never been so free to wander around, since she was born, there are always four or five grandmothers to follow, eating and doing and even obeying the rules, today shopping with me, there is no one grandma, so that she is overjoyed, more than eating snacks to make her happy. She looked east and west, everything was novel, everything was interesting, and even stood on the side of the road staring at the shuttlecock that the two yellow-haired girls kicked for a while. She said to me, "E-niang, I want to play that." ”
I wore it to the Qing Dynasty for several years, although I was high up on weekdays, and there were a lot of maids and women who were called, but I still felt that all beings were equal in my nature. He said: "If you want to kick shuttlecock with them, just go over and say it yourself." "Ah Xing is not as good as me, she is the lord of the county, and when she comes out of my belly, she is destined to be superior and to be worshipped. She was so arrogant in front of her minions that she never knew what her friends were, except for her siblings and playmates.
Ah Xing walked up to the two yellow-haired girls, and ordered with a raised face: "Give me the shuttlecock, I want to play." ”
The yellow-haired girl in light purple pouted and squinted, and snorted, "I don't know you..." Ah Xing hit the wall, and immediately became angry, and said angrily: "Do you know who I am? How dare you disobey me! I hurriedly whispered, "Ah Xing, don't tell your identity." If they don't want to, don't you want to eat sauce elbows? Shall we go buy it? As he was talking, a shout suddenly came from behind him: "Rose?!" Are you a rose? ”
I turned around, and before I could react, someone clapped his hands and rushed forward, grabbed my hand and said, "Is it really you?" I saw you get out of the carriage just now, I just thought I was wrong, I didn't think it was really you! "Except for the family members of Wanyan Mansion and the royal relatives and nobles of the Aixin Jueluo family, no one has dared to call my name so arrogantly for many years.
I couldn't help but be stunned and asked, "Are you...?" ”
The man didn't blame me for not remembering her, and said with a smile: "I'm Taoxin, the family of the household Wang Shilang..." Later, somehow the family affair was confused, Wang Taoxin married a high-ranking official in another province, and I heard that he was about the same age as his father.
I rarely bumped into an acquaintance, and I was also very happy, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Miss Peach Heart..."
Wang Taoxin said: "I shouldn't call Miss, there are four children." She unceremoniously reached out and pinched Ah Xing's face, and said with a smile: "It's so good-looking..." Wang Taoxin had no self-knowledge, and said, "Oh, the little girl is shy, will my aunt tell you a husband?" ”
Ah Xing is not yet seven years old, although the Qing Dynasty women, especially the royal women, get married very early, but I never planned to let Ah Xing marry in his teens, at least when he is eighteen years old. Ah Xing didn't understand the meaning of Wang Taoxin's words, instinctively felt that it was not a good word, and he was afraid that it was my old acquaintance, so he endured the county lord's temper, stared at Wang Taoxin, and stared at Wang Taoxin.
I said, "The child is still young, don't worry..."
Wang Taoxin was simply self-cooked, with the excitement of an old woman soliciting customers, and said, "What's small?" Let me tell you, my eldest daughter is nine years old this year, and he Ama has already set a marriage for her, she is the son of Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and she looks handsome, white and handsome, and she doesn't know how likable she is. "I can understand why her marriage with her eldest brother was confused at that time, with this temperament, even I can't stand it.
I said, "Hehe." ”
Ah Xing tugged at my sleeve and said, "Eniang, let's go buy sauce elbows." I was about to find an excuse to walk away, but I didn't want Wang Taoxin to blindly show off, and said: "How can you do such trivial things yourself, just let the girl buy them." ”
She looked behind me for a long time and said, "Why is there only one girl?" ”
I said sincerely: "When I go out to play, I feel uncomfortable with too many people." ”
Wang Taoxin nodded and said, "Me too, every time I go out, my husband always wants a large group of people to follow, for fear that I will run away..." What about you? Looking to buy something? "I really don't plan to buy anything, all the things in Baylor Mansion are supplied by the Internal Affairs Bureau, and they are specially approved by Kangxi, no matter how good the things outside are, they are not good but the Internal Affairs Office doesn't need money!
I said, "Just buy some snacks for the kids." ”
When Wang Taoxin heard this, she immediately felt that I must not be married, and I only had one girl to serve, and I didn't buy clothes and jewelry when I went out, but only bought some snacks. She said arrogantly: "It's rare for us to meet, why don't you go to the teahouse and I'll invite you to a snack?" Without waiting for me to agree, he grabbed me with one hand and Ah Xing with the other, and walked to the teahouse on the street.
She was indeed not stingy, asked for a private room, and ordered two tables to eat.
It's normal to start chatting about how she follows her husband around as an official, how she gives birth to children, how she deals with the side room, how she honors her in-laws, and slowly, I don't know how to get involved with me.
Of course, it was not me in her mouth, but "Fourteen Fujin".
She drank a little wine, her cheeks flushed, and the more she spoke, the more excited she became, and said: "My husband finally returned to Beijing to report on his work, and I wanted to take this opportunity to stay in the capital, he was circling around the officialdom, and I also wanted to help him, so I prepared a box of pearls to go to the Fourteen Baylor Mansion to ask for a meeting-you must not know why you are looking for Fourteen Baylor-" She lowered her voice and said: "After the crown prince was deposed, everyone was counting on Fourteen Baylor, I heard that he would be made the crown prince..."
After a while, he continued: "I was shy to find the Fourteenth Fujin, and I begged five or six times, and the porter said that Fujin was not in good health and did not see guests. That's fine, don't accept my pearls if you don't see a guest..."Ah Xing was taken to the side by Minqiu to nibble on the elbow of the sauce, and did not listen carefully to our speech, I was a little embarrassed, and said, "When the time comes, I will ask someone to return it to you..."
Wang Taoxin was stunned, and I hurriedly explained: "I really shouldn't accept your things..."
I really don't know about this, although I have a habit of saving money, mainly because I am worried that after the fourteenth circle of ban, I will be tortured by Yongzheng and have no money to spend. But I'm also a moral person, and if I don't do things for others, of course I won't accept gifts from others.
Besides, I really don't like a box of pearls.
It should have been received by the people below.
When Wang Taoxin saw that I agreed with her words, she became more and more energetic, and told me how many times she had sent a post to the Fourteenth Baylor Mansion, how many times she had begged the people in the porter's house, and how many benefits she had given to the steward. Of course, in the end, the culprit "Fourteen Fujin" complained fiercely. As she spoke, she suddenly turned her head and asked, "Where is your husband on an errand?" If you can help, just say it. I was shamelessly called by her to be the Fourteenth Fujin, and casually said nonsense: "The small bookstore of the household department is just an errand." Wang Taoxin couldn't deny it, and said: "Your Ama is a servant from the second grade, and it shouldn't be difficult to find an errand for your husband." He smiled again: "I think the carriage in your house is good, it is more spacious and atmospheric than mine, and a bookstore is willing to spend money on it for you, which is not bad." ”
I smiled and said, "The dowry that Amma gave when I got married." ”
Wang Taoxin opened her mouth wide, oh~ and said, "No wonder." ”
For the sake of the old friendship, I patiently ate a snack with her. In fact, Wang Taoxin's temperament is quite honest and kind, and after seeing Ah Xing's eating appearance, she thought that she hadn't eaten anything good for hundreds of years, and asked, "Don't you Ama buy you snacks to eat?" Ah Xing blinked and said, "Ama said that the things outside are not clean, and what Eniang makes is delicious." Wang Taoxin completely understood another meaning, thinking that it was my little bookkeeper who was reluctant to spend money to buy food for his daughter, so he immediately felt pity and specially packed twenty or thirty snacks for Ah Xing in the teahouse. When they separated, they took out an ingot of ten taels of silver from their purse, stuffed it into Ah Xing, and said, "If it weren't for my aunt marrying to other provinces, your aunt would have to drink the full moon wine." Keep it yourself, don't give it to Amma, you can buy whatever you want. ”
She was so sincere that I was speechless.
By the time we returned home, it was dark, and Fourteen was rarely at home, knowing that I had gone out shopping, and that I had no one with me, so I was so anxious that I stood at the gate of Baylor's house, looking left and right. Seeing my carriage from afar, he took a few steps forward to meet me, picked me down and asked, "Why is it so late?" My resentment towards him did not disappear, and I said dryly: "I met an acquaintance on the way and went to the teahouse to talk for a while." ”
Fourteen was dressed in a bright yellow robe, handsome in the twilight, and I couldn't help but think about it: how nice it would be if he was really just a little bookmaker!
