Femme Beauty

Waking up early in the morning, Wang Xifeng packed up and waited for the girl who went to inquire about the news to come back early.After receiving the news that Mrs. Xing had woken up, she took Qiuju to the main room carrying the things that Yingchun hadn't had time to give yesterday.

Mrs. Xing got up early. After all, the child was fussy at night, so she used the time during the day to catch up on sleep.Fortunately, with the help of a mother-in-law, it is not particularly difficult to take care of.Yingchun had already entered the room at this time, and she followed her to drink the freshly warmed goat's milk with honey.

Yingchun didn't like this smell at first, but she gradually got used to it because her mother forced her to come and go.But she still likes to add a lot of honey in it to increase the taste.

She put down the milk bowl, and looked at the curtain outside.Mrs. Xing didn't know what she meant, she smiled and nodded her smooth forehead across the small kang table: "I'm afraid your sister-in-law is on the way here, is she thinking about the gift she brought you?"

"Why does mother say that? I'm the one who can't see face?" Yingchun was a little bit unhappy when she was poked, "I'm just worried that if my sister-in-law is late, I can help my sister-in-law to say something nice to my mother."

"You are the only ghost?" Mrs. Xing whispered to her: "Your sister-in-law is a perfect person, how could she miss this? I think she sent the little girl outside to wait for the news early, and only looked at me to open the door. , I went back. I must be on the way now! But I want to say, as long as you have one or two abilities of your sister-in-law, I will rest assured!"

Mrs. Xing was telling the truth, she had stopped thinking about having a child.In addition, Jia Amnesty is actually good to her, and the family and people are happy.Coupled with the fact that she has been teaching Mammy to say something on the side, she is very open-minded.He also treated Yingchun as his own life early on, not to mention the fur goods accumulated over the years, even the wooden dowry and silver box, all were prepared.If Yingchun went to look at those account books and warehouse items at this time, he would definitely find that they were no less than those princes and daughters.

But Mrs. Xing said, I still want to thank Yuan Chun for going out in a wrong way.From a girl in the house to a concubine, no matter how high the status is, she can't compare to the queen.Dowry or something, that is nothing.Not to mention, if the family wants to give one or two, it will take effort, not to mention dredging.After the two households are separated, this benefit comes out.If Yuan Chun had planned for her to get married early, those good things would have been changed names by the old lady and put in Yuan Chun's dowry.But right now, it has become something that Yingchun uses to pick and choose before she gets married.

Wang Xifeng walked in with Qiu Ju, just in time to watch Mrs. Xing talking to Yingchun.Yingchun looked at Wang Xifeng, and quickly got up to make way for her.In any case, Wang Xifeng is the grandma who will be the head of the family in the future.After she sat down next to Mrs. Xing, Wang Xifeng smiled and took two bundles from Qiu Ju's hands, opened a navy blue jacket with a dark red autumn brocade inside, and did not add any insides.With two wipes on her forehead, she handed the things to Mrs. Xing: "Madam, this is the brocade I got in Yangzhou. It looked good at the time. I divided it into three points and gave me a share for my aunt and aunt. The rest This one, which I made with my own hands, matches the figure of my wife before, but it may not be suitable now. My wife will see if it is suitable, and if it is suitable, I will put the lining on in a few days."

Mrs. Xing looked at the clothes, and she knew that the material was very good when she held it in her hand.She smiled and shook her head: "Okay, I'll do it just by looking at it. Don't make any linings, I have people here to do the work. You can do it if you have this idea. If it doesn't fit, I'll let them change it for two days and get new clothes. "

Hearing what Mrs. Xing said, Wang Xifeng didn't insist.Just opened another lake blue package, which is a cardboard box.The surface is pasted with colorful juan, and when you open the door, you can see all kinds of bead flowers in unique shapes, each of which is exquisitely crafted.Not to mention small and exquisite, they are all suitable for girls to bring at home.She handed those to Yingchun: "My sister-in-law was having fun with my wife yesterday, but she forgot about you. This was arranged for you in Yangzhou a long time ago. Originally, the master said that you should go to our place in Yangzhou. I will Tete made the style and asked someone to do it. It turned out that we came over and sent it. You are also old, and the jewelry craftsmen here are definitely not as good as those over there. If you like it, you can wear it. If you don’t like it, you can wear it. Give it to me. Take it and melt it and change it to another style for you.”

Yingchun looked at the box of a dozen or so unique pearl flowers, and immediately blushed and took them.He lowered his head and said, "Thank you sister-in-law!"

"Thank you for what I did? It's not my money. Your brother gave me ten thousand taels for nothing. After all, I haven't bet more than 3000 taels yet!" Wang Xifeng said quietly with a smile: " Don't tell him that!" She said a naughty joke, but Mrs. Xing watched with those beads.In addition to gold and silver, there are more gemstones and pearls of various colors and lustres. It is not a simple handicraft at first glance.Not to mention, even stones are hard to find.She vaguely remembered that in Wang Xifeng's dowry, there was such a large box of broken stones.Although they are all finely divided, they are the most suitable for making these things.Thinking about it, I was careful.

Thinking of this, she remembered what she had talked about with Jia She at night.This daughter-in-law is probably not as shrewd as her aunt.Instead, there is a sense of foolishness everywhere?

You said that the precious Tianlu is nothing more than saving Jia Min.Seeing that it worked, the silly boy took it out and divided it around.How precious it is, it will only be taken out when it has to.It is even possible to pass it on.

She sighed and urged Yingchun to finish the milk, and asked someone to serve Wang Xifeng: "I know you like to drink milk porridge, so I asked someone to cook it for you early. There is nothing else here, That’s all there is to it.”

Wang Xifeng frowned when she heard the smile, and proudly said to Yingchun: "I'm still worried... You have been with your wife all these years, and you always say that your daughter is a cotton-padded jacket and your daughter-in-law is an enemy. I almost thought that my wife hasn't seen me for so long. The pain has been gone for a long time! I was worried, but I still think my wife loves me!"

"My sister-in-law can talk..." Yingchun looked at the smiling mother and didn't hold back, but leaned close to Mrs. Xing and pretended to be intimate and said: "Didn't mother do this for me? If I see my mother being harsh on you, I'm not worried about getting along with my mother-in-law and daughter-in-law after my death. If you want me to say, daughter-in-law is someone else's girl no matter what. Although I was not born by my mother, am I also my mother's girl after all?"

"Oh... look, it's just been a few years since we saw each other, and our big girl's mouth is getting more and more sophisticated. Is this the one who blushed when she saw me blushing and didn't know where to hide it? I wonder if you are the one You pretended to be foolish, and came here on purpose to bully me. I haven't seen you in a few years. Let me verify your identity!" Wang Xifeng said with a smile and reached out to Yingchun, and Yingchun hid in Mrs. Xing's arms with a smile.Mrs. Xing looked at the friendly sister-in-law, shook her head and smiled:

"She is from a family of children, and the atmosphere here is not like that in the capital these years. After all, her father raised her wild! I originally said that I should send it to you somewhere in the past two years. Don't say anything else, follow me At least you can learn from a famous lady by your side. Right now, the only one who is about to become a boy. Look at this hair, it’s just a braid all day long. I don’t know, but I still think that I, a mother, treated her harshly What! If I hadn’t waited for you to come here today, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have brought two or three flowers with me.”

Wang Xifeng looked at the Naizi porridge on the table, which looked very appetizing when paired with sweet and sour side dishes.Stirring the bowl with a small spoon: "I think it's good like this, and other famous ladies. My aunt is gentle and handsome, but if it weren't for Uncle Lin's own family style. What if someone came to compare with the second uncle? Aunt Zhao’s is also a troubled life. I think it’s good for our elder sister to be like this now, and find a son-in-law in the future. Not to mention anything else, it’s best to be able to sing and sing. If not, bring a dowry as long as nothing goes wrong. This day can also lead a smooth life." She was telling the truth, and Mrs. Xing nodded when she heard it.

"Her father said the same thing. He said that she was bullied because of her bad temper. I always thought, look, she is the only girl in our family. If someone goes to the family in the future, we have to think about whether there are three brothers in the family?"

What Mrs. Xing said is not wrong, Yuan Chun is already recorded in her name as a prostitute.In the future, the identity of the daughter of the Duke of Rongguo, coupled with Jia Lian and two younger brothers, how could anyone dare to bully her?

Speaking of this, Mrs. Xing took a bite of a piece of milk lamb, chewed it slowly and asked Wang Xifeng: "I wrote you the letter the year before last, but did you look for it?"

"I asked my aunt, and the title hadn't come down yet. My aunt said it's best to wait, and there's nothing to choose right now." Wang Xifeng glanced at Yingchun, who was listening to the mist, and smiled. Looking at her: "Look at her like a fool, she doesn't know what we are talking about!"

"Let her be stupid for a few years!" Mrs. Xing looked at the bewildered Yingchun, and laughed too.Seeing her mother and sister-in-law laughing at herself, Yingchun felt that it should not be a very good thing.But it was hard for her to ask, so she got up and stomped her feet: "You guys are making fun of me... let's not talk about it, I'll go to learn from Mammy!"

It was still early in the day, so Jia Amnesty went to the racecourse after breakfast.Jia Lian also followed out of curiosity.There are only three girls and two younger ones left in the family, which is a leisurely place with a small population.Mrs. Xing has nothing to take care of here, because there are few maids and mothers-in-law who are under the supervision of responsible people.After all, she has nothing to do, but she still has a half-knowledge about the management of the inner house of this big family.Many internal things can only be taught by a nanny who follows her.

Seeing Yingchun leave, Mrs. Xing asked someone to remove the meal.He took a palm-sized embroidery frame and handed it to Wang Xifeng: "Nothing else, just hold it to pass the time. This is for embroidering lotus pods, let's talk for a while."

Wang Xifeng took it with a smile, and didn't care about it, just picked the thread that was a little taut before with the needle.Mrs. Xing saw her like this, so she opened her mouth: "Your father-in-law originally meant that you have to be raised until sixteen or seventy-eight before making any plans. But I was thinking, it's better to decide this marriage or something early. The wedding It doesn't matter if it's late or something. It's just that you have to look at the character. We talked about this matter. But right now, I don't know what kind of person to look for. "

Wang Xifeng nodded: "What you said is also reasonable. This girl can't stay. It will be a worry if you stay here or there. Just let me see, it's a good thing to settle early. Just don't be like me, a young girl hasn't had any fun yet. Enjoy it and get married. What the second master means is that you have to find a noble family. For one thing, in the future, if the style of the family changes, you will have to contact this kind of person often. The family is also easy to get in touch with. Secondly, this noble family also has its own rules. The elder sister’s body is well-raised. As long as we take care of it more, then there is nothing for concubines and aunts. Look at the aunt, Uncle is just guarding her alone."

Mrs. Xing nodded, took a small dress and threaded a needle while answering: "Lian'er's thinking is good, but I just don't know what kind of thinking this girl is. Originally, her father and I were not worried, after all, we are young. Some. But look, at the beginning of last year, someone proposed marriage. He is a general of the Ministry of War, and he is a simple and honest person. But this soldier..." She sighed: "Now the soldier Panicked, the capital looks okay. If one of them is not good in the future, don’t you have to be a widow?”

Wang Xifeng pursed her lips: "There is no other way to do this. So the one who always knows this family is right or came here because of the master's identity?"

"It is said that they are relatives of the Wang family in Chengjun, and the family is also a relative of the clan. Looking at the family status, they are on the right side. They are sixteen or seventeen years old. They are also comparable to your father-in-law. But it's just..." Mrs. Xing put down the work in her hand: "That's the soldier at the front. Who knows when an accident won't kill him? If you're engaged, it's fine if you don't get married. You can just choose another one. But if you get married, How about that? What if there is another one and a half daughter..." Speaking of this, Wang Xifeng also felt that this matter was a bit bad.

She shook her head: "Don't worry about this matter for the time being. My sister is still young anyway. I just pushed it off with a reason. We'll go back after the summer. Can we catch up to the capital by then?"

When Wang Xifeng said so, Mrs. Xing also thought it was feasible.But these two people never expected that they not only chased him to the capital, but also made a marriage offer.Of course, what these two people didn't expect was that Yingchun could end up with the fate of a county princess.In the future, after the dynasty moved south, she became the queen of Nanyong.Of course, these are things for later.

There are lush vegetation on the horse farm, but there are not many farmlands.One reason is that because it is close to the northern barbarian area, most of the farming will be destroyed.Secondly, this piece of aquatic grass is more suitable for grazing.Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian stayed here until the end of summer, and it was rare for the two of them to have this kind of time to gallop wildly.After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the two took Yingchun and her whole set of things to bid farewell to Jia Amnesty and Mrs. Xing, and returned to the capital.

Autumn frost came early this year, and a lot of wheat was wiped out by the autumn frost before it had time to ripen.Three states in the Northwest, including more than a dozen counties, were affected.The imperial court had no choice but to take out a large sum of military rations for disaster relief.Fortunately, at the beginning of spring, because the cabinet decided to move the population south to cultivate rice, there was no big loss after all.And the Xixia Army, which was originally assembled at the border, had to wait for the coming year because of this premature autumn frost.Without enough food and grass, even the most powerful army is in vain.

The three of them procrastinated all the way down and did not arrive in the capital until the twelfth lunar month.At this time, the snow outside the city was knee-deep.The weather was cold, and Concubine Zhen, who had supported for a year, could not survive this winter after all, and left after the winter solstice.Just as Jia Lian settled down with his wife and sister, he heard the news from the steward.The entire Zhen family was confiscated and imprisoned. A while ago, someone came over and wanted to store some things in the mansion, but because the master was not there, they finally sent them to the next door mansion.

Hearing this, Jia Lian hooked the corner of her mouth and ordered to rot the matter in her stomach.If someone asks about it in the future, they will say that because the owner is not at home, he has no choice but to recommend the mansion next door.The steward also understood what he meant. Now because of the Zhen family incident, the officials in the capital have changed a lot.Several families have been implicated. In the official selling point in front of Chengwu Gate, you can always see the situation of officials' children being sold as slaves.

After visiting Ningguo Mansion and Wang Lin Second Mansion, Jia Lian took Wang Xifeng and Yingchun to Jia Mansion after resting for three days.

Baoyu didn't come out of the garden that day because of the heavy snow.Jia's mother didn't care either, as for Jia Lian's young couple coming back.She just said that she knew, after all, now that Jia She is not here, she has no control over many things.Wang Xifeng dragged Yingchun dressed in rose red into the room, before anyone could speak, she answered loudly:

"Old lady... old ancestor, let's see who I brought here?" Then she dragged Yingchun into Jiamu's main room.Looking at Yingchun, who was tidied up, with big black braids and rose red and plain brocade sleeves, Mrs. Wang who was present was taken aback for a moment.

Yingchun's biological mother used to be a lady from the official family, but because she was a concubine, she was married by Jia She and went home as a noble concubine.This marriage was originally agreed by Jia's mother.The reason is that Jia Lian's mother has not been out for three years.Yingchun used to have two older sisters, but they couldn't support them after all.Later, Yingchun was born because Jia Lian's mother was not in good health.

The woman was originally beautiful and graceful, but now Yingchun saw quite a few figures.But that red attire is really impressive.It doesn't look like a small family.Coupled with those bright eyes and the crooked smile at the corner of the mouth, it looks different from before.

Looking at Yingchun like this, Mother Jia's red body reminded her that the girl in front of her was no longer the nun concubine who was rubbed by others, but was already the first daughter recorded under the name of her first mother.Now that Jia She has won the title of Duke of Rongguo, Yingchun's status has risen accordingly and she has become the eldest daughter of the Rongguo Mansion.Thinking of this, she hurriedly brought Yingchun to her side with pity on her face, and sat on the red sandalwood arhat bed she had just placed.The grandparents and grandchildren sat hugging each other, and Yingchun looked at the aging mother Jia, and the original childhood memories flooded back.

For Jia Mu, she has indescribable thoughts.As a child, that was the only blessing.But it is also an inescapable love.She longed for the old lady to value her as much as Baoyu, and not need to remind her every day, just to take care of the people around her, but it never happened.When I was young, there was more resentment than respect.But when we meet again now, there is still a layer of concern in it.

"Old lady!" Her voice was slightly hoarse, and when she called out, she finally greeted two tears.He quickly wiped it with a handkerchief, pursed his lips and smiled: "I haven't seen you in a few years, the old lady's body is still so tough."

"You seem to have grown up a lot, and I'm old too." Mother Jia smiled, looking at the crying face and thinking to herself, after all, she had brought it with her since she was a child.I have also taken care of her carefully, thinking of her well, I will not forget everything because of the three or four years.

"Where did you see it..." Yingchun glanced at Wang Xifeng who was sitting on the side and said, "I haven't seen her for many years, and I still feel that the old lady looks the same as before. Especially this style, is it much better than before?" Already." She was talking and laughing, Wang Xifeng saw her eyes, and continued the conversation: "Now after my mother visits her relatives, I heard that the emperor has taken care of her. Why is the old lady so unpretentious!"

Hearing what Wang Xifeng said, Jia's mother felt a kind of awkwardness in her heart.But she didn't pay much attention.Yingchun didn't answer, just smiled and said nothing.
