Chapter 11 What Can a Silly Child Know?

In the end, things were just as Xiao Jingheng had expected. Mammy Zhang did not dare to go to Concubine Xu, but went to the aunt in charge of the inner court to make a scene.

But Mammy Zhang didn't get the so-called "justice", but Shangguan Jing got some small benefits because of it.

It was also a coincidence that when Mammy Zhang was crying and wiping her tears, she asked the steward aunt to pretend to be pitiful and complained, and the maid who was serving in Concubine Xu's courtyard happened to come over to pass the message to the steward aunt of the inner courtyard.The matter spread to Concubine Xu's ears in such a roundabout way.

In the evening of that day, when the steward's aunt came to answer in front of Concubine Xu, Concubine Xu asked one more question.

Mammy Zhang complained to the aunt in charge for a long time in the afternoon, which annoyed the aunt in charge. Therefore, when she replied, the aunt helped Mammy Zhang without any fuss, and only briefly described Mammy Zhang's injury.

Concubine Xu didn't say anything in person, but she felt a little stunned in her heart. As soon as she turned around, she narrated the gossip to King Huaiyang.

"Isn't that kid a fool?" King Huaiyang was also a little surprised, "Wu Dinghou told this king himself."

"Yeah!" Concubine Xu also had an inexplicable look on her face: "In this way, she is always unwilling to suffer losses. I don't know how the nanny in Jiuye's yard offended her, and she was beaten hard."

"It's not a big deal." King Huaiyang shook his head indifferently: "I don't need to worry about her."

"My lord doesn't want to see her?" Concubine Xu asked: "Nominally, she is always a serious daughter-in-law. Would you like to arrange a time for the child to serve you and the princess a cup of tea?"

"It's just a stupid child, how can she understand this?" King Huaiyang shook his head: "No need for the ceremony, she is only eight or nine years old and knows what marriage is. As long as she stays in Laojiu's yard, the rest will be fine. There is no need to worry too much. You can handle the affairs of the inner court. You just need to remember that the entire capital knows that the Huaiyang Palace and the Marquis of Wuding are in-laws, and the Fourth Miss Shangguan is the daughter-in-law of this king."

"The concubine knows." Concubine Xu nodded first, and then sighed softly: "It's a pity that Miss Shangguan was not married."

"Mrs. Wu Dinghou is reluctant, and there is no other way." King Huaiyang replied, "Go back and find a better one for Yan'er."

"No matter how good it is, can it be better than the number one daughter in Beijing?" Concubine Xu's beautiful face showed a bit of dissatisfaction: "It's reluctant to say it, but I know it's not too high, and I think our Yan'er is not a direct son."

"You said something like that again." King Huaiyang frowned: "It doesn't matter if he is a direct son or not, Yan'er is the eldest son of this king, and also the most proud son of this king, and he will inherit everything of this king in the future. , it's not what you want."

"My lord," Concubine Xu immediately took the arm of King Huaiyang in a coquettish manner: "My concubine is only sorry for Yan'er, but I honestly say that it is rare to see such a beautiful girl as Miss Shangguan. It's more than enough, such a good daughter-in-law, how can I not be worried about my concubine!"

"What's the hurry?" King Huaiyang smiled and patted Concubine Xu's hand: "If you really care about it, just wait a little longer, and get married to Yan'er two years later, and Miss Shangguan is still young, and she will change her life in time. Yi, I'll bring it up again in two years. This king promises you that Marquis Wu Ding will not refuse."

"Then the concubine is waiting." Concubine Xu smiled sweetly: "By the way, my lord, when will the Marquis of Wuding deliver the fourth young lady's dowry? Really. But even if it is a prevarication, some dowry boxes have to be carried into our palace. When the palace is married, it must be complete and decent, so that people can't fault it. "

"That's right." King Huaiyang nodded: "Tomorrow I will urge Marquis Wu Ding."

………………

Early the next morning, Xiao Jingheng finished breakfast and was ready to go to school.Mammy Zhang, who had just been taught a lesson, still did not show up to serve her for a long time. It was Xiao Jingheng who changed her clothes and combed her hair, and packed her schoolbag and the four treasures of the study to go to the academy.

Looking at Xiao Jingheng's clean clothes, and then seeing that he had been wearing it for two days and rolled into a gray red dress, Shangguan Jing was at a loss.

Shangguan Jing, who was in urgent need of a change of clothes, escorted Xiao Jingheng to the gate of the yard. She looked left and right. The path at the gate was very clean. The servants came and went not far away, and no one was interested in taking a look at this desolate corner.

"I think if I just go out like this, no one will care." Shangguan Jing stood on tiptoe and looked further afield.

"No one cares." Xiao Jingheng looked worried: "But..."

"Don't worry," Shangguanjing hurriedly smiled and waved to Xiao Jingheng: "I won't go out casually and cause you trouble."

"Sister Jing, accompany me to jail here, I've wronged you." Xiao Jingheng bowed his head apologetically: "I'm afraid it will take a long time to live like this."

"As I said, don't take everything on yourself." Shangguan Jing grinned at Xiao Jingheng: "The child is too thoughtful and not cute at all. I was just thinking, your disgusting grandma is not either. I know where I'm going, and who should I ask for a change of clothes. I've talked to the maids in the yard a few times, and they know to prevaricate me and say that they can't interfere in the affairs of the house. "

"Alas! It's a mistake!" Shangguanjing sighed with regret, with her hands on her hips: "I knew I would have to change clothes first, and then beat your nanny."

"Sister Jing..." Xiao Jingheng looked helpless.For the past two days, the little boy always felt that it was too difficult to keep up with the leaping thinking of his "lady", which made him very powerless.

"Let's go, don't sigh like a little old man." Shangguan Jing pushed Xiao Jingheng's shoulder: "You don't need to worry so much, just read your book well and leave the rest to me, and I'll take care of it. ."

The more Shangguan Jing said this, the more worried Xiao Jingheng became. He walked three steps and followed the path, and went to Ermen to take the carriage.

After he left, Shangguanjing returned to the courtyard and sat on the steps down the corridor with his chin up.She was thinking about how to intimidate those lazy and rough maids when she suddenly saw the door of their campus being pushed open.

A middle-aged woman with a silver hairpin inlaid on her head and a cyan satin skirt walked in with a few maids.

The rough maid who was lazy under the tree saw the woman's face and hurried over to greet the middle-aged woman with a smile.

"Aunt Yan, why are you free to come here today?"

"This yard has been cleaned?" Aunt Yan frowned, looking a little disgusted.

One of the maids hurriedly picked up the broom thrown by the wall and replied with a smile, "I cleaned up the dead branches today, but the yard hasn't been cleaned yet."

Aunt Yan knew that the maid was a sophistry, but she was actually lazy to take care of the affairs in Jiuye's yard, so she simply told the maid a few words, and she didn't pay a heavy penalty.
