I was a princess in ancient times
Chapter 27
Ji Xinxue sent Yu Heng away, and went back to Su Xian's courtyard to see how Si Niang was doing. He heard from the maid in Su Xian's courtyard that Si Niang cried a lot and drank the tranquilizing medicine, and had already rested.
Su Xian was afraid that Si Niangzi would not sleep well, so she was accompanying Si Niangzi.
Ji Xinxue was afraid of the fourth lady who would wake up, so she told the maid that she would come to visit her again tomorrow morning.
Just as he was about to leave, he ran into Mr. Erlang and Mrs. Sanniang who came together in the yard.The expressions of both of them were blank, mixed with deep worry. Obviously they only knew that something happened to Si Niangzi, but they didn't know what it was.
Ji Xinxue stopped where he was, not knowing how to face Erlang Jun and San Niangzi's inquiries, because he didn't know whether King Jia wanted to let other children know such an unbelievable thing.
Fortunately, Su Xian had already explained. Before Erlang Jun and Third Lady could open their mouths, the maid had already welcomed them into the door and told them what happened today in serious and brief words.
Except for the reason why the fourth lady ran out of the princess's yard, she didn't tell Erlang Jun and third lady.The rest of the process was not concealed, and even the palm print left on the lower half of the fourth lady's face was carefully described to Mr. Erlang and Third Lady.
The third lady was so angry that she almost smashed the teacup, "What is she? How dare she do anything to Fourth Sister?"
Ji Jingyu, who is usually a kind person, was also flushed with anger, and even shed tears faster than San Niangzi.
Ji Xinxue was afraid that these two people would get more and more angry, so she rushed to Wangfei's courtyard, and saw Wang Jia's anger and Wangfei's disgraceful appearance, so she gently persuaded, "Aye will definitely uphold justice for sister."
The third lady's tense expression eased slightly, but the hatred in her eyes was not fake at all.
If that Diao Nu was in front of her right now, she would definitely give that Diao Nu a good time with her own hands.
Ji Jingyu barely endured the tears pouring down from her eyes, "Among us, she is the one who is doted on by Aye the most. She is arrogant and indulgent on weekdays, and she has hardly suffered any grievances. When she grows up to this age, the biggest grievance is that she almost He was smothered to death by his servant in his own home.
As soon as these words came out, not only the third lady couldn't stand it, but Ji Xinxue felt a little sour in her eyes.
The three brothers and sisters sat in silence until dark without waiting for the fourth lady to wake up, so they could only disperse separately.
Ji Jingyu sent Ji Xinxue and San Niangzi back to their residence first, and stood there for a long time, his forehead ached from the cold wind at night, before he turned around and went to Wangfei's yard under the worried watch of the servant behind him.
He's just indecisive in his character and can't change it, but he's not an idiot.
Si Niangzi must have been angry with the princess, so she ran out of the yard impulsively. The servant who almost caused Si Niangzi a big loss was also the concubine's confidant.
The servant is the first crime, and the princess cannot escape the responsibility.
At least the concubine indulged the evil servant a lot on weekdays, or had other behaviors, so that the evil servant did not take Fourth Lady seriously.
Back at Qixia Courtyard, Nanny Li and Caizhu greeted her.
Both of them looked ugly, especially Nanny Li.
"Where did the county lord go?" Nanny Li asked with a sullen face, her tone even hinting at questioning.
Ji Xinxue had just met Wang Momo, an old slave who didn't know how to measure, and then met Li Momo, who was also a nanny, who also valued Mrs. Zhong more than anything else, and didn't take him very seriously on weekdays. , suddenly felt emotional, and said earnestly, "Nurse Wang almost harmed Fourth Sister, Aye was furious, and there will be results in these two days."
After all, he was someone who had been watching him for so many years. Although Nanny Li would choose Miss Zhong without hesitation, it didn't mean that Nanny Li didn't give him her heart.
Ji Xinxue still hoped that Nanny Li could stay with Mrs. Zhong for a long time.
Mother Li was startled by Ji Xinxue's words, and when Ji Xinxue was far away, she chased after her as if waking up from a dream, and wanted to ask, but she couldn't ask because the matter was too unimaginable.
A group of people returned to Mrs. Zhong's main room in silence.
"You still know to come back?" Mrs. Zhong looked at Ji Xinxue, her face was full of anger and sadness, "What's wrong with Twelve Lang that you despise him so much? You actually left Twelve Lang in the garden, still Hiding outside and only coming back now. How do you let my mother face your grandpa, grandma and your aunt?"
Ji Xinxue's head hurt from being asked.
Where is he leaving Twelve Lang behind.
It was clear that Twelve Lang was inexplicably shy, and he left him and ran away. No matter how he shouted behind him, it would only make Twelve Lang run faster.
You can't let him run after Twelve Lang wearing a heavy bun and a fancy dress that can hardly move his legs?
How could he have imagined that Twelve Lang would be so shy.
Ji Xinxue didn't want to quarrel with Mrs. Zhong, and was full of pity for the unlucky Twelve Lang, so she took the blame and explained softly, "After I got separated from my cousin, I met someone who came to see me with a thank you gift. Little County King, it's not good to leave Xiaojun King alone, so he didn't come back immediately."
Mrs. Zhong was even angrier when she heard the words, so that she couldn't choose what to say, "What little county king can be more important than Twelve Langs, why didn't I realize that you are so bullying and praising the poor?"
Before Ji Xinxue could react, Mrs. Zhong suddenly realized the point, and her voice rose sharply, "Little county king? Which small county king? How old is it?"
Ji Xinxue automatically ignored Zhong Niangzi's words stabbing people in the heart.
"From the British government..." He snorted, but couldn't hide his irritability after all, "The descendant of Princess An should have called him the King of Xianglin, but he was called Xiaojun because he hadn't received the sage's decree. king'."
Not only did Mrs. Zhong not restrain herself because of Ji Xinxue's concession, but she became even more angry, "I ask you how old he is!"
Ji Xinxue felt that Mrs. Zhong just wanted to vent her emotions, instead of talking to him seriously, and a coldness gradually spread between her brows, "One year older than me."
After patiently answering Mrs. Zhong's question, he turned around and left, fearing that if he stayed longer, he would not be able to bear Mrs. Zhong's unreasonable troubles.
"you come back!"
Zhong Niangzi's roar almost broke the sound, but Ji Xinxue was unmoved, instead her steps became bigger and bigger.
Nanny Li, who was guarding the door, stood in front of Ji Xinxue, her voice was both distressed and annoyed, "How can the little lady make the lady so angry, didn't you hear that the lady asked you to go back?"
While speaking, Nanny Li stretched out her hand towards Ji Xinxue, wanting to push Ji Xinxue's shoulder, and let Ji Xinxue go back to the room to face the furious Mrs. Zhong.
'Snapped! '
Ji Xinxue patted Nanny Li's hand unceremoniously, making a very loud sound.
While Li Nanny was stunned in disbelief, Ji Xinxue dexterously jumped past Li Nanny and ran back to the East Wing.
There was a sneer on his face that he didn't know who it was.
No matter how angry Mrs. Zhong and Nanny Li were, they would not chase after Su Xian, because there were Bijuan and Qingyun here, and they were all afraid of Su Xian.
It wasn't until Ji Xinxue began to wash that Caizhu returned to the east wing absent-mindedly.She wanted to persuade Ji Xinxue not to make Mrs. Zhong sad, but before she could speak, she was forced to retreat by Ji Xinxue's indifferent eyes, and was stopped by Bijuan and Qingyun who saw some clues, and she couldn't find a chance at all. Get close to Ji Xinxue.
With the intention of giving each other time to calm down, Ji Xinxue went to the garden to entertain guests early the next morning.
When she saw Si Niangzi at noon, Si Niangzi's face had returned to her usual smile, and she happily shared with Ji Xinxue the gadgets she got from Su Xian, and generously allowed Ji Xinxue to choose one from it.
The kindness is hard to give up, Ji Xinxue carefully observed the expression of the fourth lady, and chose the bracelet wrapped with red jadeite wrapped in gold silk that the fourth lady didn't care about the most.
Si Niangzi immediately put the bracelet on Ji Xinxue's wrist, and hugged Ji Xinxue's arm as a pillow on his shoulder, "Axue, can you also stay in the little grandma's yard for a few nights and accompany me."
When Ji Xinxue heard the first half of Si Niangzi's sentence, Ji Xinxue's heart was indeed moved, and when she heard the second half of the sentence, Ji Xinxue shook her head.
He had heard for a long time that the fourth lady often slept until midnight to find the eldest lady and the third lady to sleep with.He also lives with Su Xian, and it is very likely that Fourth Lady will come to him in the middle of the night.
...It's better not to, what if it leaves the little girl with strange confusion.
Fortunately, Si Niangzi just mentioned it casually, and with Su Xian's company, she didn't have to ask Ji Xinxue to accompany her.After being rejected by Ji Xinxue, Si Niangzi was depressed for a moment, and soon smiled again, whispering to Ji Xinxue about the interesting things that happened with her classmates when they were in Hanmeiyuan.
Mostly it was Princess Dehui's whim, and she came up with "Why can birds fly, but people can't fly?" ' or 'I heard that a weasel's fart can make people faint, is it true? '...This kind of wonderful idea, and then the two of them figured out a way together to prove whether Princess Dehui's idea can be realized.
Princess Dehui also specially raised a weasel.
"Ah Huang's farting is very smelly, but Yingying likes Ah Huang so much that she has to take Ah Huang with her when she eats." The fourth lady made a frantic voice, "Ah Huang actually came to my side to fart, and put my favorite The clothes are stinky! I want to put up a sign outside the residence, and it will say, 'Princess with Ah Huang is not allowed to enter'."
Ji Xinxue struggled to hold back a smile that almost burst out of her throat, and she didn't speak for a long time.
The fourth lady suddenly felt that something was wrong, she threw herself on Ji Xinxue's lap to look at Ji Xinxue's face, right into Shang Ji Xinxue's smiling eyes.
"Are you laughing at me?" The little girl's eyes widened in disbelief, showing an extremely sad look.
The fourth lady who turned her head angrily waited for a long time, but Ji Xinxue didn't wait for her to coax her, so she turned her head suspiciously, "You don't think you like weasels too, do you? Don't raise them!"
Stopping at the door, Su Xian listened to the unscrupulous laughter and ferocious yelling in the house, "I can take you to see the Yingying weasel, you are not allowed to raise it." ' The crashing sound, a faint smile appeared on a slightly tired face.
The joy that Ji Xinxue had with Si Niangzi disappeared completely when she returned to Qixia Courtyard.
Mrs. Zhong was actually taking Nanny Li, colored beads, and colored stones to rummage through his things.
"What are you doing?" Ji Xinxue stood at the door with a face full of disbelief.
If Mrs. Zhong asked the colored beads or colored stones to take something directly from his room, he would not be so angry.
Like now, I can't wait to rummage through every corner of his room. Could it be that he is ransacking his house?
Mrs. Zhong looked back with a sullen face, without any nervousness or guilt, and said in a hoarse voice, "You haven't done anything wrong, what are you afraid of?"
After Ji Xinxue left the main courtyard angrily yesterday, Mrs. Zhong did not regret it.
She doesn't know when she started to regard Ji Xinxue as her only hope of survival, as long as Ji Xinxue is well, she is willing to let her die immediately.
She loves Ji Xinxue so much, how could she look at Ji Xinxue angry and remain indifferent?
Mrs. Zhong sat by the window all night and finally figured it out.
She wanted to have a good talk with Ji Xinxue and let Ji Xinxue understand that she wanted Ji Xinxue to marry back to her natal family because she was thinking about Ji Xinxue wholeheartedly and without any selfishness.
Just when Mrs. Zhong was thinking carefully about how to coax Ji Xinxue, the concierge suddenly came and said that a man named Lin Zhao had given Ji Xinxue something with the name card of the little county king.
Mrs. Zhong first served as Princess Dekang's female official, and was given to the prince as Teng's concubine. She may not have used many good things, but she has actually seen good things.
The four carved wooden boxes that hold the things are worth a lot, not to mention the various high-quality papers that are not seen in the market and the various brushes that look ordinary but imply the imprint of famous artists in the wooden boxes. Inkstones are made of not less pigments, amber and coral.
Mrs. Zhong looked at these things in a daze, and suddenly she felt sad.
How nice it would be if her Xue Nu was really a girl?
It's a pity that Xue Nu is not, so she must cut off all thoughts that should not exist in Xue Nu before Xue Nu has more delusional thoughts.
Lady Zhong was surprisingly calm.
She first carefully recalled the time when Ji Xinxue and Xiaojun Wang met, and came to the conclusion that Ji Xinxue had the opportunity to know Xiaojun Wang only after she went to the Imperial College to attend classes. While she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, her mood became more complicated.
The most important thing right now is to completely cut off the contact between Ji Xinxue and Xiaojunwang.
It is absolutely impossible for two people to have an undue affection for each other.
When bringing someone over to Ji Xinxue's room, Mrs. Zhong thought about the various reactions Ji Xinxue might have when she found out about this. .
Therefore, she specifically asked Nanny Li, the colored beads, and the colored stones to put all the overturned things back in their original places as much as possible.
Mrs. Zhong thought that Ji Xinxue was angry with her just yesterday, and she hasn't completely calmed down today, and she might not come back until dark.At that time, she had already rummaged through Ji Xinxue's house and took away all the things that might be related to the little prince.
If Ji Xinxue had a guilty conscience and pretended that these things didn't happen, she would naturally stop embarrassing Ji Xinxue and waste the relationship between mother and child for nothing.
After a while, Ji Xinxue calmed down, and she went to explain her kindness to Ji Xinxue.
It is unavoidable to say that it is normal for a young man to be romantic and passionate, and that the king of a small county is a noble man, so he must be very concerned about his wife's background. 'Hang on.
She knows the children she raised best. Although Xue Nu usually doesn't care much about most things, she is extremely proud in her bones.
When Ji Xinxue found out that his name was put together with the Xiaojunwang, when there was only belittlement and ridicule, she would definitely alienate the Xiaojunwang quietly.
If Ji Xinxue came to ask her to argue, she would completely destroy everything related to the Xiaojun Wang in front of Ji Xinxue, and then find a way to get Ji Xinxue to take a leave of absence from the Imperial College for a period of time, completely breaking Ji Xinxue's thoughts, and then let Ji Xinxue Xinxue goes to school.
Or...Anyway, Ji Xinxue already has the title of county head, and has appeared in front of outsiders, so it doesn't matter if she doesn't go to school.
However, Ji Xinxue's reaction was completely beyond Mrs. Zhong's expectations.
He broke through Mrs. Zhong's faux pas, neither yelling nor pretending nothing happened.He was obviously extremely angry but just stood there, looking at Mrs. Zhong with cold eyes.
Miss Zhong suddenly felt an uncontrollable panic. Ji Xinxue's indifference made her feel that Ji Xinxue was drifting away from her.
Mrs. Zhong, who was going to respond according to Ji Xinxue's reaction, couldn't hold her breath, and asked first, "Why did the little prince give you such an expensive gift?"
Ji Xinxue immediately thought of the paints that Yu Heng gave him, and was about to ask Mrs. Zhong if she had damaged those paints, when she suddenly thought that he put the paints with Su Xian and never brought them back.
Compared with the safety of those paints, it is not unforgivable for Mrs. Zhong to take someone to search his room while he is away.
As long as Mrs. Zhong can promise, there will be no next time.
Ji Xinxue silently thought about Mrs. Zhong's hardships these years, and she finally opened her mouth to perfunctory Mrs. Zhong, "On the day of the big banquet, the king of the little county sprained his feet in the princess's courtyard. Grandma's yard."
Mrs. Zhong's expression softened slightly, "Really?"
"Oh..." Ji Xinxue was angry in her heart, but she barely said it, and her words inevitably showed sharpness, "What did I lie to you, otherwise you will ask Nanny Li to inquire with the servants in the princess's yard."
After a long silence, Mrs. Zhong signaled Nanny Li to move all the carved wooden boxes sent by the concierge.Her face softened, and she walked to Ji Xinxue's side, and carefully adjusted the few invisible folds on Ji Xinxue's collar, "Aniang didn't want to restrain you, if you don't like it, Aniang promises that she will never do anything wrong again." about your stuff."
Seeing Mrs. Zhong's attitude softened, Ji Xinxue lowered her head first, and the anger in her eyes subsided a little. He glanced at the colored beads and colored stones that had been standing side by side with their heads down since he entered the door, and said in a deep voice, "Take the colored beads Take it away, and don't appear in the east wing again."
He was reluctant to blame Mrs. Zhong, but he had to let Mrs. Zhong know that what she did was wrong, and after she did something wrong, she couldn't just say 'I was wrong' and go away.
If he didn't really need a personal maid, and he couldn't replace it with green silk and Qingyun, he wouldn't even want to keep the colored stone.
After hearing Ji Xinxue's words, Caizhu knelt on the ground with a pale face, and walked up to Ji Xinxue, "Is the county master not to be a slave? The slave was at the county master's side when the county master was born, how could he leave the county?" Lord, I beg the county lord to be merciful."
Mrs. Zhong also pleaded for Caizhu, "It's Aniang's fault, what does it have to do with Caizhu? Why do you blame her?"
Ji Xinxue was unmoved, "Her heart is not with me. After we moved here, not counting Bijuan and Qingyun, there were eight more maidservants than before. It's not like before, everything should be close The servant girl does it herself, but she still runs to A Niang every day. It can be seen that in her heart, only A Niang does not have me. If this is the case, why don’t I return her to A Niang?”
Miss Zhong thought about what she was going to say to Ji Xinxue next, so she reluctantly agreed to Ji Xinxue's request, and only hoped that Ji Xinxue could calm down completely before Nanny Li came back, "I'll take the colored beads away, and the colored stones will still serve you personally, and you can't let others Intervene."
Sensing Lady Zhong's vigilant gaze, Bijuan and Qingyun, who stood behind Ji Xinxue with their heads down, bent their necks even deeper, wishing they could disappear from Lady Zhong's sight.
Ji Xinxue nodded, as a response to Mrs. Zhong.
Seeing that Mrs. Zhong had reached an agreement with Ji Xinxue, Caizhu also wiped away her tears and got up from the ground silently.
Ji Xinxue is right, Caizhu really cares more about Mrs. Zhong than him, and returning to Mrs. Zhong's side to serve her is not a punishment for Caizhu, but Ji Xinxue's straightforward attitude will make her feel like she is being bullied. The feeling of abandonment makes me cry so sad.
After Nanny Li came back with the carved wooden box, Ji Xinxue found out that the little prince gave him something again, and the "precious gift" that Mrs. Zhong said was not those expensive paints.
Although there are paints in the things sent today, the colors are light and thin, which is just suitable for practicing hands. Compared with yesterday's thick and colorful colors, I don't know how many grades are worse.
When Ji Xinxue was looking at the things in the box, Mrs. Zhong always carefully observed Ji Xinxue's expression.
Seeing that there was only surprise and understanding in Ji Xinxue's eyes, instead of joy or shyness, Mrs. Zhong had already let go of half of her heart before completely letting go. She tentatively said, "You are just doing a small favor for the little prince, and you shouldn't accept such an expensive apology. ...It's better to give it back to the little county king."
"Yes." Ji Xinxue nodded, "I will take these things with me when I go to the Imperial College again."
He has already planned to accept Yu Heng's pony and expensive paints, and he really shouldn't accept these things anymore, even if Yu Heng refuses to take them back, he still has to tell Yu Heng not to give them away, otherwise he will feel that it is unfair to accept them. Ashamed, on the contrary, there is no way to calmly make friends with the little county king.
The quarrel that was about to break out was avoided by Zhong Niangzi and Ji Xinxue, but it left a clear mark on everyone's heart.
Mrs. Zhong specially asked Madam Li to grab a handful of copper coins and go to the big kitchen to ask for Ji Xinxue's favorite dishes on weekdays. While eating, she seemed to casually mention the little prince, implying that Ji Xinxue's little prince is really not a good match, and that a high marriage will not be happy. The British government must not be easy to get along with its lush branches...
At the beginning, Ji Xinxue was a little displeased with Mrs. Zhong's verbal belittlement of Yu Heng.
After a long while, he realized that Mrs. Zhong's words were because she was afraid that he would like the little prince and would want to marry him.
"Cough, cough, cough..." Ji Xinxue, who was drinking soup, coughed earth-shatteringly.
Why is Mrs. Zhong so worried?
Because of the higher status of women in the Yu Dynasty, the more noble the status of the women, the later the time to marry. A man who wants to marry a woman who matches his status can only wait.
For example, in the previous dynasty, women generally married at the age of 13, but it has been eliminated in the Yu Dynasty. Regardless of men and women, most of them start to perform the six rituals at the age of 15 and get married at the age of 16.
He is only seven years old, and Xiaojun Wang is only eight years old, how could he have feelings for him?
Not to mention his special situation, given the current situation where everything is going badly for the little county king, there must be no extra leisure time.
Ji Xinxue's eyes were red with choking, and she looked at the worried lady Zhong with hazy eyes, her tone full of helplessness, "What is A Niang thinking? Why do I like the little princess?"
Lady Zhong's gaze suddenly became vigilant, "Then who do you like?"
Of course she looks like a fairy, but she can beat and resist young ladies.
It is best to have long silver-white hair, a palm-sized oval face, big almond eyes and delicate red lips. It is best to be a little taller than a bird, and the body shape is like a willow, but it can be easily held when moving. 3000m long-distance race champion.
The portrait of the Two-dimensional Goddess before crossing appeared in Ji Xinxue's mind, her eyes were full of melancholy, "No, no one likes it."
Alas, never to be seen again.
The only connection between this life and the goddess in the previous life is that the goddess is called Snow, and he is also called Snow.
It's a sad thing to think about.
The vigilance in Zhong Niangzi's eyes turned into disappointment, "Don't you like Twelve Lang?"
Ji Xinxue smiled awkwardly rather than politely.
How can a stinky man compare with his goddess?
Although Ji Xinxue has repeatedly promised that she will not have unreasonable thoughts about Xiaojun Wang, Mrs. Zhong still chanted to and fro in Ji Xinxue's room until the middle of the night before leaving.
What's even more exaggerated is that every day that followed, Mrs. Zhong would keep chanting in Ji Xinxue's room until midnight, repeating those few words over and over again.
"The king of Xiaojun has a noble status, and his family relationship is complicated, so he is really not a good match. '
'When you marry the Zhong family, you have grandparents, grandmas, uncles and aunts as mothers-in-law, and when necessary, you can use the status of county head to suppress others, and you can live as you want. '
It is the ultimate pull step.
Ji Xinxue stayed with Mrs. Zhong until the palace banquet was completely over, and finally couldn't bear it any longer.
Jiawang saw the hard work of the children, and asked Songnian to ask everyone for three days off.
Ji Xinxue still opened her eyes on time when it was still daylight, and called out hoarsely before her eyes were fully awake.
Qing Yun, who was watching the night, poured a glass of warm water for Ji Xinxue, and said in a low voice, "The county magistrate sleeps a little longer, I don't need to go anywhere today."
Ji Xinxue drank the warm water, and her mind gradually became clearer. She wanted to continue to sleep, but she was afraid that Mrs. Zhong would have nothing to do, so she would come to him and say those extremely annoying words.
In the past few days, his dreams have been filled with those words over and over again, and he has even been able to recite them backwards.
After all, exhaustion defeated reason, and Ji Xinxue fell asleep in a daze before she could make up her mind whether to run away before Mrs. Zhong woke up.
When Ji Xinxue woke up again, it was already noon.
"Why didn't Auntie come?" Ji Xinxue looked at the bright sun outside the window, seriously doubting that she hadn't woken up yet.
Seeing that Ji Xinxue hid most of her face under the quilt, with only two big shining eyes showing, Caishi wished to go back to a few years ago and coax Ji Xinxue in his arms.
It's a pity that as Ji Xinxue grows older, her prestige is getting deeper and deeper, especially not long ago, she just witnessed Ji Xinxue send away Caizhu in a few words, Caishi has long since dared not treat Ji Xinxue casually like a few years ago, just sit Going to Ji Xinxue's bed, "Someone came from Wangfei's yard to call the lady away, probably because of the banquet."
"Ah..." Ji Xinxue, as if he had been pardoned, immediately asked Caishi to find clothes for him to go out, and made up his mind to go out and hide.
When Ji Xinxue arrived at Su Xian's courtyard, she saw that King Jia was about to leave, and suddenly a flash of light flashed in her mind, and she leaned over with a smile, "Aye!"
King Jia sighed when he saw him, "I found a pony for you to use as an enlightenment for the "Royal" class."
Ji Xinxue looked at King Jia's unspeakable expression, her eyes flashed, and she asked cautiously, "Did something unexpected happen?"
"Probably." King Jia replied vaguely, "If you don't dislike it, it's not impossible to use it. After all, it's a descendant of a famous horse. It may not be easy to find a suitable pony in a short time."
Ji Xinxue had an intuition of deceit, and took a half step back vigilantly, "Tell me what the accident was first."
Jiawang recalled the scene when he went to see the pony himself in the morning, and couldn't help laughing, "It's a bit bald."
Seeing that Ji Xinxue couldn't understand, Song Nian stretched out his hand to compare the place where the jade crown was combed on his head, "The little horse was infected with bugs by other horses in the same stable, and now the bugs have been completely wiped out. It's hairless."
Ji Xinxue immediately shook her head like a rattle, "I don't want it! The Guozijian has ponies, so I can use the ponies from the Guozijian!"
"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha" King Jia laughed without concealing his sarcasm, "I told him he wouldn't take it, but if you still don't believe me, the horse will be rewarded to you. You can sell it or give it to someone else, don't let it go any further. Appeared in the palace."
Song Nian always had regret flashing in his light eyes, and he couldn't help defending the pony, "It's only temporarily bald, maybe it won't be bald after the moulting."
"At least for half a year, that horse won't molt, and Xiao Wu will never go out on a bald horse." Jia Wang ruthlessly broke Song Nian's expectations.
Ji Xinxue shook her head at Song Nian seriously, and immediately turned her back to Song Nian, expressing her determination to reject the bald horse with actions.
He hesitated for a while, and said to King Jia, "The king of Xiaojun said that the fief sent him five ponies, and he only chose one, and kept the rest in the village. Last time I mentioned riding and archery lessons, I said There is no pony yet, so he invited me to be a guest on Zhuangzi."
King Jia didn't take this matter too seriously.
Princess Anguo's mansion has been passed down for several generations, and the wealth accumulated is innumerable, and there are two extremely rich fiefdoms.In a sense, Yu Heng is richer than him.
Just a colt, nothing more.
For Yu Heng, it is not much more precious than a jade pendant that is exchanged every three to five days.
"Go if you want, next time there is a banquet in the palace, I beg your grandma to add the name of Xiaojun Wang to the guest list." King Jia replied.
Ji Xinxue secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
Mrs. Zhong doesn't let him have any contact with Yu Heng, but he can still ease the conflict by subverting the other.
If King Jia doesn't allow him to associate with Yu Heng, he... really has nothing to do.
After all, King Jia has the power of life and death in the palace, and he can speak clearly about the Imperial College with ease.Combined, he and Yu Heng could not reach the level of King Jia.
"One more thing." Ji Xinxue grabbed Wang Jia's sleeve, "Brothers and sisters all have their own yards, when will I stop living with A Niang?"
There was a dispute with Mrs. Zhong, and after discovering that Mrs. Zhong had secretly led someone to raid his house, Ji Xinxue thought for a long time, and the best solution he could think of was that he could have his own yard.
Ji Xinxue didn't believe Mrs. Zhong's promise to 'never turn over his house again', and she couldn't bear to hear Mrs. Zhong's constant nagging about him until the third watch every day.
Since moving to Qixia Courtyard, Ji Xinxue could clearly feel that Mrs. Zhong's desire to control him was getting stronger and stronger.
We can no longer indulge Mrs. Zhong like this, otherwise Mrs. Zhong will inadvertently make mistakes that King Jia can't bear, just like the princess.
After all, the concubine is a concubine, and there are three children, the eldest lady, Mr. Erlang and the fourth lady. Even if it is for the children, King Jia will not let the concubine completely lose face.
In contrast, Mrs. Zhong has no confidence to make mistakes.
Now that Mrs. Zhong still knows how to restrain herself, she should keep her distance from Mrs. Zhong earlier. Whether it is for their mother-child relationship or Mrs. Zhong, there are only benefits and no harm.
Moreover, Mrs. Zhong's confinement had been quietly lifted when she moved into Qixia Courtyard. Whether he went to visit Mrs. Zhong in Qixia Courtyard, or Mrs. Zhong went to visit him in his new courtyard, it was very convenient.
Jia Wang bent down, looking straight into Ji Xinxue's clear eyes with probing eyes, and made sure that Ji Xinxue had no negative emotions such as sadness or grievance, so Jia Wang stretched out his hand to loosen the bun on Ji Xinxue's head, and asked nonchalantly Said, "Why do you suddenly have such an idea?"
Through this period of getting along, Ji Xinxue has already figured out where the softest part of King Jia's heart is, and deliberately said in a very innocent tone, "Because brother and sister both had their own yard when they were my age, So I want to have it too."
After listening to Ji Xinxue's explanation, King Jia really gave up asking.
He looked sideways at Songnian, "Where is there an empty yard where Xiao Wu can move out earlier?"
Song Nian pondered for a moment before opening his mouth, "There are vacant yards next to the yards of Fourth Lady and Third Lady, but it will take at least half a year to renovate and replace them with brand new furniture. There is one next to Mr. Erlang's yard that can be moved in immediately." The courtyard." Song Nian looked at Ji Xinxue with hesitation, "It's a pity that the courtyard is a bit far from the fourth lady's residence."
Ji Xinxue immediately raised a big smile and made a choice without hesitation, "I want to move to a new yard right now."
Things went smoothly beyond Ji Xinxue's expectation.
Song Nian has ordered his servants to clean the yard where he is about to move in, and send someone to move his things tomorrow morning.
Ji Xinxue didn't plan to tell Mrs. Zhong about moving the yard in advance.
He was afraid that Mrs. Zhong would not let him sleep tonight.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Zhong returned to Qixia Courtyard later than Ji Xinxue, and for the first time, she did not ask Ji Xinxue for a night talk. When Ji Xinxue was about to move the yard the next day, Mrs. Zhong had already gone to the Wangfei's yard.
With Songnian around, Nanny Li and Caizhu were taken away by Mrs. Zhong, and no one raised any objections to Ji Xinxue moving the yard.
In just two hours, Ji Xinxue and his favorite things were neatly moved into the yard between the front yard and the back yard.
This courtyard is not as big as Qixia courtyard, but it is much more exquisite than Qixia courtyard. Ji Xinxue had already named the courtyard 'White Mo' in front of King Jia yesterday.
King Jia promised that Ji Xinxue would write the inscription himself and take it to make a plaque.
There were already two aunts in charge and six maidservants in the Baimo courtyard, and the six servants naturally became Ji Xinxue's servants.
Songnian personally watched Ji Xinxue settle down, and then told Ji Xinxue to tell Aunt Hua and Aunt Ye if there was anything to do, and to tell them if there was anything missing, and saw Ji Xinxue nod before returning to the front yard.
These two aunts are indeed extraordinary, Ji Xinxue only had a few words with them, and she understood why Mrs. Zhong left early and returned late these two days, and she no longer had the energy to chat with him until the third watch.
Just after the banquet ended, hundreds of famous palace people were suddenly released from the palace.
King Jia brought back more than a dozen elderly mothers and aunts in one go, and Aunt Hua and Aunt Ye from Baimoyuan came from the palace.
Before the big banquet in the palace was over, the princess said that she would not be sick, and the big lady was in charge of entertaining the guests in the backyard.
During this period, none of the servants around the princess survived, and most of them were resold. Only a very few of them could get the reward from the palace to go home.
Now that the concubine is 'well', the big and small matters of the palace are taken over by the nanny who came out of the palace. All decisions are no longer made by asking the concubine, but by asking the Song Nian in the front yard to seal them.
The concubine, who has nothing to worry about, is planning to study, and spontaneously brings King Jia's concubine.
When Ji Xinxue heard this, she didn't close her mouth in surprise.
Su Zhaoyi specially gave the princess two female lecturers to teach the four books and five classics to the princess from the beginning, and the lectures started every day when the cock crowed and ended at noon.The assessment starts at no time, and if you fail to pass, you cannot leave the 'school'. If you fail to pass before midnight, the female lecturer will record the truth and hand a small letter to Su Zhaoyi in the palace every ten days.
The concubine couldn't bear this kind of torture, so she called the two children of the palace and the lady Zhong who had given birth, and called it "Su Zhaoyi's kindness should not be wasted." '
From Aunt Hua, Ji Xinxue learned that not only the Four Books and Five Classics, but also a subset of classics and histories are arranged on the princess's curriculum.
Ji Xinxue lay down on the brand new bedding in a daze.
If he had known that Mrs. Zhong would suddenly become busy and would have no time to take care of him, he... would still move out.
It feels great to be in charge of your own home.
Su Xian was afraid that Si Niangzi would not sleep well, so she was accompanying Si Niangzi.
Ji Xinxue was afraid of the fourth lady who would wake up, so she told the maid that she would come to visit her again tomorrow morning.
Just as he was about to leave, he ran into Mr. Erlang and Mrs. Sanniang who came together in the yard.The expressions of both of them were blank, mixed with deep worry. Obviously they only knew that something happened to Si Niangzi, but they didn't know what it was.
Ji Xinxue stopped where he was, not knowing how to face Erlang Jun and San Niangzi's inquiries, because he didn't know whether King Jia wanted to let other children know such an unbelievable thing.
Fortunately, Su Xian had already explained. Before Erlang Jun and Third Lady could open their mouths, the maid had already welcomed them into the door and told them what happened today in serious and brief words.
Except for the reason why the fourth lady ran out of the princess's yard, she didn't tell Erlang Jun and third lady.The rest of the process was not concealed, and even the palm print left on the lower half of the fourth lady's face was carefully described to Mr. Erlang and Third Lady.
The third lady was so angry that she almost smashed the teacup, "What is she? How dare she do anything to Fourth Sister?"
Ji Jingyu, who is usually a kind person, was also flushed with anger, and even shed tears faster than San Niangzi.
Ji Xinxue was afraid that these two people would get more and more angry, so she rushed to Wangfei's courtyard, and saw Wang Jia's anger and Wangfei's disgraceful appearance, so she gently persuaded, "Aye will definitely uphold justice for sister."
The third lady's tense expression eased slightly, but the hatred in her eyes was not fake at all.
If that Diao Nu was in front of her right now, she would definitely give that Diao Nu a good time with her own hands.
Ji Jingyu barely endured the tears pouring down from her eyes, "Among us, she is the one who is doted on by Aye the most. She is arrogant and indulgent on weekdays, and she has hardly suffered any grievances. When she grows up to this age, the biggest grievance is that she almost He was smothered to death by his servant in his own home.
As soon as these words came out, not only the third lady couldn't stand it, but Ji Xinxue felt a little sour in her eyes.
The three brothers and sisters sat in silence until dark without waiting for the fourth lady to wake up, so they could only disperse separately.
Ji Jingyu sent Ji Xinxue and San Niangzi back to their residence first, and stood there for a long time, his forehead ached from the cold wind at night, before he turned around and went to Wangfei's yard under the worried watch of the servant behind him.
He's just indecisive in his character and can't change it, but he's not an idiot.
Si Niangzi must have been angry with the princess, so she ran out of the yard impulsively. The servant who almost caused Si Niangzi a big loss was also the concubine's confidant.
The servant is the first crime, and the princess cannot escape the responsibility.
At least the concubine indulged the evil servant a lot on weekdays, or had other behaviors, so that the evil servant did not take Fourth Lady seriously.
Back at Qixia Courtyard, Nanny Li and Caizhu greeted her.
Both of them looked ugly, especially Nanny Li.
"Where did the county lord go?" Nanny Li asked with a sullen face, her tone even hinting at questioning.
Ji Xinxue had just met Wang Momo, an old slave who didn't know how to measure, and then met Li Momo, who was also a nanny, who also valued Mrs. Zhong more than anything else, and didn't take him very seriously on weekdays. , suddenly felt emotional, and said earnestly, "Nurse Wang almost harmed Fourth Sister, Aye was furious, and there will be results in these two days."
After all, he was someone who had been watching him for so many years. Although Nanny Li would choose Miss Zhong without hesitation, it didn't mean that Nanny Li didn't give him her heart.
Ji Xinxue still hoped that Nanny Li could stay with Mrs. Zhong for a long time.
Mother Li was startled by Ji Xinxue's words, and when Ji Xinxue was far away, she chased after her as if waking up from a dream, and wanted to ask, but she couldn't ask because the matter was too unimaginable.
A group of people returned to Mrs. Zhong's main room in silence.
"You still know to come back?" Mrs. Zhong looked at Ji Xinxue, her face was full of anger and sadness, "What's wrong with Twelve Lang that you despise him so much? You actually left Twelve Lang in the garden, still Hiding outside and only coming back now. How do you let my mother face your grandpa, grandma and your aunt?"
Ji Xinxue's head hurt from being asked.
Where is he leaving Twelve Lang behind.
It was clear that Twelve Lang was inexplicably shy, and he left him and ran away. No matter how he shouted behind him, it would only make Twelve Lang run faster.
You can't let him run after Twelve Lang wearing a heavy bun and a fancy dress that can hardly move his legs?
How could he have imagined that Twelve Lang would be so shy.
Ji Xinxue didn't want to quarrel with Mrs. Zhong, and was full of pity for the unlucky Twelve Lang, so she took the blame and explained softly, "After I got separated from my cousin, I met someone who came to see me with a thank you gift. Little County King, it's not good to leave Xiaojun King alone, so he didn't come back immediately."
Mrs. Zhong was even angrier when she heard the words, so that she couldn't choose what to say, "What little county king can be more important than Twelve Langs, why didn't I realize that you are so bullying and praising the poor?"
Before Ji Xinxue could react, Mrs. Zhong suddenly realized the point, and her voice rose sharply, "Little county king? Which small county king? How old is it?"
Ji Xinxue automatically ignored Zhong Niangzi's words stabbing people in the heart.
"From the British government..." He snorted, but couldn't hide his irritability after all, "The descendant of Princess An should have called him the King of Xianglin, but he was called Xiaojun because he hadn't received the sage's decree. king'."
Not only did Mrs. Zhong not restrain herself because of Ji Xinxue's concession, but she became even more angry, "I ask you how old he is!"
Ji Xinxue felt that Mrs. Zhong just wanted to vent her emotions, instead of talking to him seriously, and a coldness gradually spread between her brows, "One year older than me."
After patiently answering Mrs. Zhong's question, he turned around and left, fearing that if he stayed longer, he would not be able to bear Mrs. Zhong's unreasonable troubles.
"you come back!"
Zhong Niangzi's roar almost broke the sound, but Ji Xinxue was unmoved, instead her steps became bigger and bigger.
Nanny Li, who was guarding the door, stood in front of Ji Xinxue, her voice was both distressed and annoyed, "How can the little lady make the lady so angry, didn't you hear that the lady asked you to go back?"
While speaking, Nanny Li stretched out her hand towards Ji Xinxue, wanting to push Ji Xinxue's shoulder, and let Ji Xinxue go back to the room to face the furious Mrs. Zhong.
'Snapped! '
Ji Xinxue patted Nanny Li's hand unceremoniously, making a very loud sound.
While Li Nanny was stunned in disbelief, Ji Xinxue dexterously jumped past Li Nanny and ran back to the East Wing.
There was a sneer on his face that he didn't know who it was.
No matter how angry Mrs. Zhong and Nanny Li were, they would not chase after Su Xian, because there were Bijuan and Qingyun here, and they were all afraid of Su Xian.
It wasn't until Ji Xinxue began to wash that Caizhu returned to the east wing absent-mindedly.She wanted to persuade Ji Xinxue not to make Mrs. Zhong sad, but before she could speak, she was forced to retreat by Ji Xinxue's indifferent eyes, and was stopped by Bijuan and Qingyun who saw some clues, and she couldn't find a chance at all. Get close to Ji Xinxue.
With the intention of giving each other time to calm down, Ji Xinxue went to the garden to entertain guests early the next morning.
When she saw Si Niangzi at noon, Si Niangzi's face had returned to her usual smile, and she happily shared with Ji Xinxue the gadgets she got from Su Xian, and generously allowed Ji Xinxue to choose one from it.
The kindness is hard to give up, Ji Xinxue carefully observed the expression of the fourth lady, and chose the bracelet wrapped with red jadeite wrapped in gold silk that the fourth lady didn't care about the most.
Si Niangzi immediately put the bracelet on Ji Xinxue's wrist, and hugged Ji Xinxue's arm as a pillow on his shoulder, "Axue, can you also stay in the little grandma's yard for a few nights and accompany me."
When Ji Xinxue heard the first half of Si Niangzi's sentence, Ji Xinxue's heart was indeed moved, and when she heard the second half of the sentence, Ji Xinxue shook her head.
He had heard for a long time that the fourth lady often slept until midnight to find the eldest lady and the third lady to sleep with.He also lives with Su Xian, and it is very likely that Fourth Lady will come to him in the middle of the night.
...It's better not to, what if it leaves the little girl with strange confusion.
Fortunately, Si Niangzi just mentioned it casually, and with Su Xian's company, she didn't have to ask Ji Xinxue to accompany her.After being rejected by Ji Xinxue, Si Niangzi was depressed for a moment, and soon smiled again, whispering to Ji Xinxue about the interesting things that happened with her classmates when they were in Hanmeiyuan.
Mostly it was Princess Dehui's whim, and she came up with "Why can birds fly, but people can't fly?" ' or 'I heard that a weasel's fart can make people faint, is it true? '...This kind of wonderful idea, and then the two of them figured out a way together to prove whether Princess Dehui's idea can be realized.
Princess Dehui also specially raised a weasel.
"Ah Huang's farting is very smelly, but Yingying likes Ah Huang so much that she has to take Ah Huang with her when she eats." The fourth lady made a frantic voice, "Ah Huang actually came to my side to fart, and put my favorite The clothes are stinky! I want to put up a sign outside the residence, and it will say, 'Princess with Ah Huang is not allowed to enter'."
Ji Xinxue struggled to hold back a smile that almost burst out of her throat, and she didn't speak for a long time.
The fourth lady suddenly felt that something was wrong, she threw herself on Ji Xinxue's lap to look at Ji Xinxue's face, right into Shang Ji Xinxue's smiling eyes.
"Are you laughing at me?" The little girl's eyes widened in disbelief, showing an extremely sad look.
The fourth lady who turned her head angrily waited for a long time, but Ji Xinxue didn't wait for her to coax her, so she turned her head suspiciously, "You don't think you like weasels too, do you? Don't raise them!"
Stopping at the door, Su Xian listened to the unscrupulous laughter and ferocious yelling in the house, "I can take you to see the Yingying weasel, you are not allowed to raise it." ' The crashing sound, a faint smile appeared on a slightly tired face.
The joy that Ji Xinxue had with Si Niangzi disappeared completely when she returned to Qixia Courtyard.
Mrs. Zhong was actually taking Nanny Li, colored beads, and colored stones to rummage through his things.
"What are you doing?" Ji Xinxue stood at the door with a face full of disbelief.
If Mrs. Zhong asked the colored beads or colored stones to take something directly from his room, he would not be so angry.
Like now, I can't wait to rummage through every corner of his room. Could it be that he is ransacking his house?
Mrs. Zhong looked back with a sullen face, without any nervousness or guilt, and said in a hoarse voice, "You haven't done anything wrong, what are you afraid of?"
After Ji Xinxue left the main courtyard angrily yesterday, Mrs. Zhong did not regret it.
She doesn't know when she started to regard Ji Xinxue as her only hope of survival, as long as Ji Xinxue is well, she is willing to let her die immediately.
She loves Ji Xinxue so much, how could she look at Ji Xinxue angry and remain indifferent?
Mrs. Zhong sat by the window all night and finally figured it out.
She wanted to have a good talk with Ji Xinxue and let Ji Xinxue understand that she wanted Ji Xinxue to marry back to her natal family because she was thinking about Ji Xinxue wholeheartedly and without any selfishness.
Just when Mrs. Zhong was thinking carefully about how to coax Ji Xinxue, the concierge suddenly came and said that a man named Lin Zhao had given Ji Xinxue something with the name card of the little county king.
Mrs. Zhong first served as Princess Dekang's female official, and was given to the prince as Teng's concubine. She may not have used many good things, but she has actually seen good things.
The four carved wooden boxes that hold the things are worth a lot, not to mention the various high-quality papers that are not seen in the market and the various brushes that look ordinary but imply the imprint of famous artists in the wooden boxes. Inkstones are made of not less pigments, amber and coral.
Mrs. Zhong looked at these things in a daze, and suddenly she felt sad.
How nice it would be if her Xue Nu was really a girl?
It's a pity that Xue Nu is not, so she must cut off all thoughts that should not exist in Xue Nu before Xue Nu has more delusional thoughts.
Lady Zhong was surprisingly calm.
She first carefully recalled the time when Ji Xinxue and Xiaojun Wang met, and came to the conclusion that Ji Xinxue had the opportunity to know Xiaojun Wang only after she went to the Imperial College to attend classes. While she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, her mood became more complicated.
The most important thing right now is to completely cut off the contact between Ji Xinxue and Xiaojunwang.
It is absolutely impossible for two people to have an undue affection for each other.
When bringing someone over to Ji Xinxue's room, Mrs. Zhong thought about the various reactions Ji Xinxue might have when she found out about this. .
Therefore, she specifically asked Nanny Li, the colored beads, and the colored stones to put all the overturned things back in their original places as much as possible.
Mrs. Zhong thought that Ji Xinxue was angry with her just yesterday, and she hasn't completely calmed down today, and she might not come back until dark.At that time, she had already rummaged through Ji Xinxue's house and took away all the things that might be related to the little prince.
If Ji Xinxue had a guilty conscience and pretended that these things didn't happen, she would naturally stop embarrassing Ji Xinxue and waste the relationship between mother and child for nothing.
After a while, Ji Xinxue calmed down, and she went to explain her kindness to Ji Xinxue.
It is unavoidable to say that it is normal for a young man to be romantic and passionate, and that the king of a small county is a noble man, so he must be very concerned about his wife's background. 'Hang on.
She knows the children she raised best. Although Xue Nu usually doesn't care much about most things, she is extremely proud in her bones.
When Ji Xinxue found out that his name was put together with the Xiaojunwang, when there was only belittlement and ridicule, she would definitely alienate the Xiaojunwang quietly.
If Ji Xinxue came to ask her to argue, she would completely destroy everything related to the Xiaojun Wang in front of Ji Xinxue, and then find a way to get Ji Xinxue to take a leave of absence from the Imperial College for a period of time, completely breaking Ji Xinxue's thoughts, and then let Ji Xinxue Xinxue goes to school.
Or...Anyway, Ji Xinxue already has the title of county head, and has appeared in front of outsiders, so it doesn't matter if she doesn't go to school.
However, Ji Xinxue's reaction was completely beyond Mrs. Zhong's expectations.
He broke through Mrs. Zhong's faux pas, neither yelling nor pretending nothing happened.He was obviously extremely angry but just stood there, looking at Mrs. Zhong with cold eyes.
Miss Zhong suddenly felt an uncontrollable panic. Ji Xinxue's indifference made her feel that Ji Xinxue was drifting away from her.
Mrs. Zhong, who was going to respond according to Ji Xinxue's reaction, couldn't hold her breath, and asked first, "Why did the little prince give you such an expensive gift?"
Ji Xinxue immediately thought of the paints that Yu Heng gave him, and was about to ask Mrs. Zhong if she had damaged those paints, when she suddenly thought that he put the paints with Su Xian and never brought them back.
Compared with the safety of those paints, it is not unforgivable for Mrs. Zhong to take someone to search his room while he is away.
As long as Mrs. Zhong can promise, there will be no next time.
Ji Xinxue silently thought about Mrs. Zhong's hardships these years, and she finally opened her mouth to perfunctory Mrs. Zhong, "On the day of the big banquet, the king of the little county sprained his feet in the princess's courtyard. Grandma's yard."
Mrs. Zhong's expression softened slightly, "Really?"
"Oh..." Ji Xinxue was angry in her heart, but she barely said it, and her words inevitably showed sharpness, "What did I lie to you, otherwise you will ask Nanny Li to inquire with the servants in the princess's yard."
After a long silence, Mrs. Zhong signaled Nanny Li to move all the carved wooden boxes sent by the concierge.Her face softened, and she walked to Ji Xinxue's side, and carefully adjusted the few invisible folds on Ji Xinxue's collar, "Aniang didn't want to restrain you, if you don't like it, Aniang promises that she will never do anything wrong again." about your stuff."
Seeing Mrs. Zhong's attitude softened, Ji Xinxue lowered her head first, and the anger in her eyes subsided a little. He glanced at the colored beads and colored stones that had been standing side by side with their heads down since he entered the door, and said in a deep voice, "Take the colored beads Take it away, and don't appear in the east wing again."
He was reluctant to blame Mrs. Zhong, but he had to let Mrs. Zhong know that what she did was wrong, and after she did something wrong, she couldn't just say 'I was wrong' and go away.
If he didn't really need a personal maid, and he couldn't replace it with green silk and Qingyun, he wouldn't even want to keep the colored stone.
After hearing Ji Xinxue's words, Caizhu knelt on the ground with a pale face, and walked up to Ji Xinxue, "Is the county master not to be a slave? The slave was at the county master's side when the county master was born, how could he leave the county?" Lord, I beg the county lord to be merciful."
Mrs. Zhong also pleaded for Caizhu, "It's Aniang's fault, what does it have to do with Caizhu? Why do you blame her?"
Ji Xinxue was unmoved, "Her heart is not with me. After we moved here, not counting Bijuan and Qingyun, there were eight more maidservants than before. It's not like before, everything should be close The servant girl does it herself, but she still runs to A Niang every day. It can be seen that in her heart, only A Niang does not have me. If this is the case, why don’t I return her to A Niang?”
Miss Zhong thought about what she was going to say to Ji Xinxue next, so she reluctantly agreed to Ji Xinxue's request, and only hoped that Ji Xinxue could calm down completely before Nanny Li came back, "I'll take the colored beads away, and the colored stones will still serve you personally, and you can't let others Intervene."
Sensing Lady Zhong's vigilant gaze, Bijuan and Qingyun, who stood behind Ji Xinxue with their heads down, bent their necks even deeper, wishing they could disappear from Lady Zhong's sight.
Ji Xinxue nodded, as a response to Mrs. Zhong.
Seeing that Mrs. Zhong had reached an agreement with Ji Xinxue, Caizhu also wiped away her tears and got up from the ground silently.
Ji Xinxue is right, Caizhu really cares more about Mrs. Zhong than him, and returning to Mrs. Zhong's side to serve her is not a punishment for Caizhu, but Ji Xinxue's straightforward attitude will make her feel like she is being bullied. The feeling of abandonment makes me cry so sad.
After Nanny Li came back with the carved wooden box, Ji Xinxue found out that the little prince gave him something again, and the "precious gift" that Mrs. Zhong said was not those expensive paints.
Although there are paints in the things sent today, the colors are light and thin, which is just suitable for practicing hands. Compared with yesterday's thick and colorful colors, I don't know how many grades are worse.
When Ji Xinxue was looking at the things in the box, Mrs. Zhong always carefully observed Ji Xinxue's expression.
Seeing that there was only surprise and understanding in Ji Xinxue's eyes, instead of joy or shyness, Mrs. Zhong had already let go of half of her heart before completely letting go. She tentatively said, "You are just doing a small favor for the little prince, and you shouldn't accept such an expensive apology. ...It's better to give it back to the little county king."
"Yes." Ji Xinxue nodded, "I will take these things with me when I go to the Imperial College again."
He has already planned to accept Yu Heng's pony and expensive paints, and he really shouldn't accept these things anymore, even if Yu Heng refuses to take them back, he still has to tell Yu Heng not to give them away, otherwise he will feel that it is unfair to accept them. Ashamed, on the contrary, there is no way to calmly make friends with the little county king.
The quarrel that was about to break out was avoided by Zhong Niangzi and Ji Xinxue, but it left a clear mark on everyone's heart.
Mrs. Zhong specially asked Madam Li to grab a handful of copper coins and go to the big kitchen to ask for Ji Xinxue's favorite dishes on weekdays. While eating, she seemed to casually mention the little prince, implying that Ji Xinxue's little prince is really not a good match, and that a high marriage will not be happy. The British government must not be easy to get along with its lush branches...
At the beginning, Ji Xinxue was a little displeased with Mrs. Zhong's verbal belittlement of Yu Heng.
After a long while, he realized that Mrs. Zhong's words were because she was afraid that he would like the little prince and would want to marry him.
"Cough, cough, cough..." Ji Xinxue, who was drinking soup, coughed earth-shatteringly.
Why is Mrs. Zhong so worried?
Because of the higher status of women in the Yu Dynasty, the more noble the status of the women, the later the time to marry. A man who wants to marry a woman who matches his status can only wait.
For example, in the previous dynasty, women generally married at the age of 13, but it has been eliminated in the Yu Dynasty. Regardless of men and women, most of them start to perform the six rituals at the age of 15 and get married at the age of 16.
He is only seven years old, and Xiaojun Wang is only eight years old, how could he have feelings for him?
Not to mention his special situation, given the current situation where everything is going badly for the little county king, there must be no extra leisure time.
Ji Xinxue's eyes were red with choking, and she looked at the worried lady Zhong with hazy eyes, her tone full of helplessness, "What is A Niang thinking? Why do I like the little princess?"
Lady Zhong's gaze suddenly became vigilant, "Then who do you like?"
Of course she looks like a fairy, but she can beat and resist young ladies.
It is best to have long silver-white hair, a palm-sized oval face, big almond eyes and delicate red lips. It is best to be a little taller than a bird, and the body shape is like a willow, but it can be easily held when moving. 3000m long-distance race champion.
The portrait of the Two-dimensional Goddess before crossing appeared in Ji Xinxue's mind, her eyes were full of melancholy, "No, no one likes it."
Alas, never to be seen again.
The only connection between this life and the goddess in the previous life is that the goddess is called Snow, and he is also called Snow.
It's a sad thing to think about.
The vigilance in Zhong Niangzi's eyes turned into disappointment, "Don't you like Twelve Lang?"
Ji Xinxue smiled awkwardly rather than politely.
How can a stinky man compare with his goddess?
Although Ji Xinxue has repeatedly promised that she will not have unreasonable thoughts about Xiaojun Wang, Mrs. Zhong still chanted to and fro in Ji Xinxue's room until the middle of the night before leaving.
What's even more exaggerated is that every day that followed, Mrs. Zhong would keep chanting in Ji Xinxue's room until midnight, repeating those few words over and over again.
"The king of Xiaojun has a noble status, and his family relationship is complicated, so he is really not a good match. '
'When you marry the Zhong family, you have grandparents, grandmas, uncles and aunts as mothers-in-law, and when necessary, you can use the status of county head to suppress others, and you can live as you want. '
It is the ultimate pull step.
Ji Xinxue stayed with Mrs. Zhong until the palace banquet was completely over, and finally couldn't bear it any longer.
Jiawang saw the hard work of the children, and asked Songnian to ask everyone for three days off.
Ji Xinxue still opened her eyes on time when it was still daylight, and called out hoarsely before her eyes were fully awake.
Qing Yun, who was watching the night, poured a glass of warm water for Ji Xinxue, and said in a low voice, "The county magistrate sleeps a little longer, I don't need to go anywhere today."
Ji Xinxue drank the warm water, and her mind gradually became clearer. She wanted to continue to sleep, but she was afraid that Mrs. Zhong would have nothing to do, so she would come to him and say those extremely annoying words.
In the past few days, his dreams have been filled with those words over and over again, and he has even been able to recite them backwards.
After all, exhaustion defeated reason, and Ji Xinxue fell asleep in a daze before she could make up her mind whether to run away before Mrs. Zhong woke up.
When Ji Xinxue woke up again, it was already noon.
"Why didn't Auntie come?" Ji Xinxue looked at the bright sun outside the window, seriously doubting that she hadn't woken up yet.
Seeing that Ji Xinxue hid most of her face under the quilt, with only two big shining eyes showing, Caishi wished to go back to a few years ago and coax Ji Xinxue in his arms.
It's a pity that as Ji Xinxue grows older, her prestige is getting deeper and deeper, especially not long ago, she just witnessed Ji Xinxue send away Caizhu in a few words, Caishi has long since dared not treat Ji Xinxue casually like a few years ago, just sit Going to Ji Xinxue's bed, "Someone came from Wangfei's yard to call the lady away, probably because of the banquet."
"Ah..." Ji Xinxue, as if he had been pardoned, immediately asked Caishi to find clothes for him to go out, and made up his mind to go out and hide.
When Ji Xinxue arrived at Su Xian's courtyard, she saw that King Jia was about to leave, and suddenly a flash of light flashed in her mind, and she leaned over with a smile, "Aye!"
King Jia sighed when he saw him, "I found a pony for you to use as an enlightenment for the "Royal" class."
Ji Xinxue looked at King Jia's unspeakable expression, her eyes flashed, and she asked cautiously, "Did something unexpected happen?"
"Probably." King Jia replied vaguely, "If you don't dislike it, it's not impossible to use it. After all, it's a descendant of a famous horse. It may not be easy to find a suitable pony in a short time."
Ji Xinxue had an intuition of deceit, and took a half step back vigilantly, "Tell me what the accident was first."
Jiawang recalled the scene when he went to see the pony himself in the morning, and couldn't help laughing, "It's a bit bald."
Seeing that Ji Xinxue couldn't understand, Song Nian stretched out his hand to compare the place where the jade crown was combed on his head, "The little horse was infected with bugs by other horses in the same stable, and now the bugs have been completely wiped out. It's hairless."
Ji Xinxue immediately shook her head like a rattle, "I don't want it! The Guozijian has ponies, so I can use the ponies from the Guozijian!"
"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha" King Jia laughed without concealing his sarcasm, "I told him he wouldn't take it, but if you still don't believe me, the horse will be rewarded to you. You can sell it or give it to someone else, don't let it go any further. Appeared in the palace."
Song Nian always had regret flashing in his light eyes, and he couldn't help defending the pony, "It's only temporarily bald, maybe it won't be bald after the moulting."
"At least for half a year, that horse won't molt, and Xiao Wu will never go out on a bald horse." Jia Wang ruthlessly broke Song Nian's expectations.
Ji Xinxue shook her head at Song Nian seriously, and immediately turned her back to Song Nian, expressing her determination to reject the bald horse with actions.
He hesitated for a while, and said to King Jia, "The king of Xiaojun said that the fief sent him five ponies, and he only chose one, and kept the rest in the village. Last time I mentioned riding and archery lessons, I said There is no pony yet, so he invited me to be a guest on Zhuangzi."
King Jia didn't take this matter too seriously.
Princess Anguo's mansion has been passed down for several generations, and the wealth accumulated is innumerable, and there are two extremely rich fiefdoms.In a sense, Yu Heng is richer than him.
Just a colt, nothing more.
For Yu Heng, it is not much more precious than a jade pendant that is exchanged every three to five days.
"Go if you want, next time there is a banquet in the palace, I beg your grandma to add the name of Xiaojun Wang to the guest list." King Jia replied.
Ji Xinxue secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
Mrs. Zhong doesn't let him have any contact with Yu Heng, but he can still ease the conflict by subverting the other.
If King Jia doesn't allow him to associate with Yu Heng, he... really has nothing to do.
After all, King Jia has the power of life and death in the palace, and he can speak clearly about the Imperial College with ease.Combined, he and Yu Heng could not reach the level of King Jia.
"One more thing." Ji Xinxue grabbed Wang Jia's sleeve, "Brothers and sisters all have their own yards, when will I stop living with A Niang?"
There was a dispute with Mrs. Zhong, and after discovering that Mrs. Zhong had secretly led someone to raid his house, Ji Xinxue thought for a long time, and the best solution he could think of was that he could have his own yard.
Ji Xinxue didn't believe Mrs. Zhong's promise to 'never turn over his house again', and she couldn't bear to hear Mrs. Zhong's constant nagging about him until the third watch every day.
Since moving to Qixia Courtyard, Ji Xinxue could clearly feel that Mrs. Zhong's desire to control him was getting stronger and stronger.
We can no longer indulge Mrs. Zhong like this, otherwise Mrs. Zhong will inadvertently make mistakes that King Jia can't bear, just like the princess.
After all, the concubine is a concubine, and there are three children, the eldest lady, Mr. Erlang and the fourth lady. Even if it is for the children, King Jia will not let the concubine completely lose face.
In contrast, Mrs. Zhong has no confidence to make mistakes.
Now that Mrs. Zhong still knows how to restrain herself, she should keep her distance from Mrs. Zhong earlier. Whether it is for their mother-child relationship or Mrs. Zhong, there are only benefits and no harm.
Moreover, Mrs. Zhong's confinement had been quietly lifted when she moved into Qixia Courtyard. Whether he went to visit Mrs. Zhong in Qixia Courtyard, or Mrs. Zhong went to visit him in his new courtyard, it was very convenient.
Jia Wang bent down, looking straight into Ji Xinxue's clear eyes with probing eyes, and made sure that Ji Xinxue had no negative emotions such as sadness or grievance, so Jia Wang stretched out his hand to loosen the bun on Ji Xinxue's head, and asked nonchalantly Said, "Why do you suddenly have such an idea?"
Through this period of getting along, Ji Xinxue has already figured out where the softest part of King Jia's heart is, and deliberately said in a very innocent tone, "Because brother and sister both had their own yard when they were my age, So I want to have it too."
After listening to Ji Xinxue's explanation, King Jia really gave up asking.
He looked sideways at Songnian, "Where is there an empty yard where Xiao Wu can move out earlier?"
Song Nian pondered for a moment before opening his mouth, "There are vacant yards next to the yards of Fourth Lady and Third Lady, but it will take at least half a year to renovate and replace them with brand new furniture. There is one next to Mr. Erlang's yard that can be moved in immediately." The courtyard." Song Nian looked at Ji Xinxue with hesitation, "It's a pity that the courtyard is a bit far from the fourth lady's residence."
Ji Xinxue immediately raised a big smile and made a choice without hesitation, "I want to move to a new yard right now."
Things went smoothly beyond Ji Xinxue's expectation.
Song Nian has ordered his servants to clean the yard where he is about to move in, and send someone to move his things tomorrow morning.
Ji Xinxue didn't plan to tell Mrs. Zhong about moving the yard in advance.
He was afraid that Mrs. Zhong would not let him sleep tonight.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Zhong returned to Qixia Courtyard later than Ji Xinxue, and for the first time, she did not ask Ji Xinxue for a night talk. When Ji Xinxue was about to move the yard the next day, Mrs. Zhong had already gone to the Wangfei's yard.
With Songnian around, Nanny Li and Caizhu were taken away by Mrs. Zhong, and no one raised any objections to Ji Xinxue moving the yard.
In just two hours, Ji Xinxue and his favorite things were neatly moved into the yard between the front yard and the back yard.
This courtyard is not as big as Qixia courtyard, but it is much more exquisite than Qixia courtyard. Ji Xinxue had already named the courtyard 'White Mo' in front of King Jia yesterday.
King Jia promised that Ji Xinxue would write the inscription himself and take it to make a plaque.
There were already two aunts in charge and six maidservants in the Baimo courtyard, and the six servants naturally became Ji Xinxue's servants.
Songnian personally watched Ji Xinxue settle down, and then told Ji Xinxue to tell Aunt Hua and Aunt Ye if there was anything to do, and to tell them if there was anything missing, and saw Ji Xinxue nod before returning to the front yard.
These two aunts are indeed extraordinary, Ji Xinxue only had a few words with them, and she understood why Mrs. Zhong left early and returned late these two days, and she no longer had the energy to chat with him until the third watch.
Just after the banquet ended, hundreds of famous palace people were suddenly released from the palace.
King Jia brought back more than a dozen elderly mothers and aunts in one go, and Aunt Hua and Aunt Ye from Baimoyuan came from the palace.
Before the big banquet in the palace was over, the princess said that she would not be sick, and the big lady was in charge of entertaining the guests in the backyard.
During this period, none of the servants around the princess survived, and most of them were resold. Only a very few of them could get the reward from the palace to go home.
Now that the concubine is 'well', the big and small matters of the palace are taken over by the nanny who came out of the palace. All decisions are no longer made by asking the concubine, but by asking the Song Nian in the front yard to seal them.
The concubine, who has nothing to worry about, is planning to study, and spontaneously brings King Jia's concubine.
When Ji Xinxue heard this, she didn't close her mouth in surprise.
Su Zhaoyi specially gave the princess two female lecturers to teach the four books and five classics to the princess from the beginning, and the lectures started every day when the cock crowed and ended at noon.The assessment starts at no time, and if you fail to pass, you cannot leave the 'school'. If you fail to pass before midnight, the female lecturer will record the truth and hand a small letter to Su Zhaoyi in the palace every ten days.
The concubine couldn't bear this kind of torture, so she called the two children of the palace and the lady Zhong who had given birth, and called it "Su Zhaoyi's kindness should not be wasted." '
From Aunt Hua, Ji Xinxue learned that not only the Four Books and Five Classics, but also a subset of classics and histories are arranged on the princess's curriculum.
Ji Xinxue lay down on the brand new bedding in a daze.
If he had known that Mrs. Zhong would suddenly become busy and would have no time to take care of him, he... would still move out.
It feels great to be in charge of your own home.
