Dong Gong Mei

Chapter 27 Is Fu?Is it a curse?
Grandma Sun's etiquette training was very heavy. After a day, Zhao Xiwei felt that half of her body was sore.

In the evening, Jinxiu poured hot water, and while gently rubbing Zhao Xiwei's calf, she comforted: "Fortunately, the old lady loves you so much that it saves the young lady from worrying about the morning and evening..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered the little maid's report outside the door: "Miss, Zhou mama is here."

Zhao Xi hurriedly put on his clothes and got up, went out in person, and ordered someone to bring tea: "It's freezing cold, Mammy Zhou has a cup of hot tea to warm up."

Madam Zhou carried an octagonal glass lantern and said straight to the point: "This servant is here to spread the words of the old lady. Tomorrow, Princess Jiangxia will visit, and the third lady, please be sure to come to Rong'an Hall at Mao Shi tomorrow."

Princess Jiangxia?

Jinxiu shuddered when she heard this.

King Jiangxia is the emperor's cousin. He has been in the fief all these years, and he is in a hurry to visit Zhao's house when he returns to the capital?

Yulan murmured in a low voice, "This... I haven't heard of any friendship between Mr. Xiang and King Jiang Xia..."

The maids in the room looked at each other in dismay, showing a look of panic.

Zhao Xiwei was also secretly surprised in his heart, but his face was calm, he just smiled and nodded: "In the evening, there is a mother-in-law for a trip in person."

Jinxiu immediately understood, and took out a small purse from her sleeve and stuffed it into Mammy Zhou's hand: "It's not respectful to give Mammy Zhou a drink to eat."

A flash of surprise flashed in Zhou Mama's eyes, and then her smile became a little more respectful: "Miss Third, you're welcome, it's late at night, so the old slave won't bother you anymore."

"The snow on the road hasn't melted yet, Jinxiu, go and help Mommy carry the lamp to illuminate the road." Zhao Xi gave Jinxiu a slight wink.

Jinxiu is the most observant, and with a sound, she took the lantern and went to see Mother Zhou.

Zhao Xiwei wore a jacket and sat at the table waiting.

After about two quarters of an hour, Jinxiu entered the house with a whole body of snow.

There was a bit of unease on her face, but also a bit of solemnity: "The servant asked a few questions, and went to the big kitchen to ask, saying that the old lady only got the news at night, and she has already notified the ladies and ladies in each room. Tomorrow You have to dress up and don't lose your manners."

Zhao Xiwei said: "Have you ever found out what it is for?"

Jinxiu shook her head: "I didn't ask, oh, by the way, Mother Zhou said it was a good thing, I told you to relax and sleep well."

Zhao Xi frowned slightly. When visiting aristocratic families, it is usually necessary to submit a famous post in advance so that the date can be set.However, the old lady only got the news at night, so it can be seen that Princess Jiangxia had an impromptu intention, or that the matter was urgent.

Since it is a happy event, how can this be?
Thinking of the impending marriage proposal, a thought flashed, but she was quickly denied it.

With such an important status as King Jiang Xia, even if he wanted to marry the Zhao family, he wouldn't be so anxious.

Yinbao rolled his eyes and said happily, "It won't be about a wedding banquet, right? Miss, go to bed quickly, you must dress up beautifully tomorrow morning, and compare the other young ladies to make Princess Jiangxia's eyes shine. !"

"It's not that simple."

Jinxiu suddenly said: "Although the old lady is kind, everyone sees the prejudice against the young lady. If this is a good thing, but priority is given to our young lady, doesn't it make the big lady feel uncomfortable? , If it's really a good thing, how come there is news overnight, and you will be busy meeting tomorrow. Miss, according to the meaning of the slave, you should be more cautious tomorrow. "

Zhao Xiwei couldn't help but glance at her more.

The first time she saw Jinxiu, she thought she was a smart girl, but she didn't expect to have such insight.

Yin Bao pouted: "Then I'm also doing it for the sake of the young lady. If the young lady can have such a good marriage, I will never have to make such compromises in the future."

Yulan also said: "The slaves think the same way, Miss, you must fight for yourself, you can't let anyone arrange."

Jinxiu shook his head, too lazy to continue the theory with them.

Zhao Xiwei smiled and said, "Even you all have this desire to make progress. Could it be that I can treat myself badly? Go to sleep, everyone will act according to the circumstances tomorrow."

But on the old lady's side, Mother Zhou is reporting in detail:
"When Sister Yan heard the news, she asked, 'When did grandma receive the news', then she got up and went to the eldest lady's office. Sister Yu was very happy to hear that she could meet the princess, and the second lady pushed her aside and asked Does the slave maid have anything to do with the marriage? Sister Ya went to bed early, and when she heard the slave maid went to the house, she got up to ask the old lady's well, and she was a little curious when she learned that Princess Jiangxia was coming... Only Miss Wei watched. He was very calm, and even rewarded the servant with a bag of broken silver, saying that it was difficult for the servant to run this trip in the cold weather."

The old lady asked: "She didn't ask you anything?"

"No." A look of admiration appeared in Mammy Zhou's eyes, "Miss Wei is very calm at such a young age. When she heard the name of Princess Jiangxia, she didn't show any timidity."

The old lady was thoughtful.

Mother Zhou pursed her lips and smiled again: "However, when the slave came back, she specially asked Jinxiu to carry a lantern for a ride. That girl is smart, but she is very dedicated to Sister Wei."

The old lady nodded and said, "Sister Yu is delighted, while Sister Ya is ignorant. I see that Sister Yan and Sister Wei are both good."

Mother Zhou smiled and said, "My servant also thinks these two young ladies are good. I just don't know which Princess Jiangxia is satisfied with?"

The old lady sighed and said, "Then it depends on their good fortune."

The next day, Zhao Xiwei got up at the end of the hour, and deliberately picked out a robe with bamboo cyan fox fur piping, a gold silk embroidered cloud brocade skirt of the same color, and a lotus root white brocade and feather satin cloak.

The black hair was tied again and secured with a jasper hairpin, with a pale pink begonia begonia flower on each side of the hairpin, and a pair of jasper pearl pendants.

She was not sure the purpose of Princess Jiangxia's visit to Zhao's house this time. She would easily lose her sense of proportion if she dressed too plainly or too brightly.

I deliberately put some thought into the color matching.

A quarter of an hour earlier, he arrived at the old lady's place, only to find that Zhao Chengyan had already arrived.

Zhao Chengyan wore a small red jacket with begonias, a pleated skirt with flowers, two hairpins with silk beads on her head, a pair of red gold pendants, thin eyebrows, and a light rouge on her cheeks.

When the two sides were compared, the old lady looked around, showing a hint of dissatisfaction.

With a wave of her hand, she called Zhou Mama: "Baozhu, the bead hairpin jewelry given by the palace before, bring a few pieces for each of the sisters."

Mother Zhou took the order to leave, and the old lady said again: "Today I want to see Princess Jiangxia, you two sisters must be more careful."

Zhao Xiwei and Zhao Chengyan hurriedly bowed their knees gently: "Yes."

　Asking for a recommended ticket (﹏), please begging for a coquettish roll!
