idle mistress

Chapter 64 New arrival
Princess Sheng was completely dissatisfied with this new daughter-in-law, so she couldn't help but teach her a lesson: "Didn't your natal family teach you? You should come to greet your parents-in-law and serve tea the next day after you come to your in-laws' house. After waiting for so long, there are no rules at all."

As soon as he entered the door, he was scolded to pieces. Xu Weiqiu has never been a clumsy person, so he was speechless for a while.

Seeing this, Mother Xu hurried forward to smooth things over: "Madam is new here, so learn the rules slowly."

Xu Weiqiu showed a look of being taught, nodded and said: "Yes, my daughter-in-law will be taught with an open mind in the future, if there is anything wrong, please point me out."

Her low-browed and flat-eyed appearance is in line with Princess Sheng's heart, and she no longer embarrasses her. Looking at the unsightly face, she frowned and said, "I heard that the son did not spend the night in the new house last night. ?”

Xu Weiqiu responded softly: "Yes!"

Seeing her pitiful appearance, Princess Sheng coughed lightly and said, "Your Majesty has indeed done something wrong, but you have to find the reason from yourself, as the saying goes, women are those who please themselves, so take good care of them and put them away." If you work hard on yourself, you will naturally be able to keep your husband's heart."

Xu Weiqiu nodded slightly, and responded obediently: "Yes, my daughter-in-law knows."

Seeing her expression, the princess knew that the prince's absence had hurt her heart; she also remembered that she was chosen by Princess Qin after all, so she explained:

"The prince is out on errands. This man is different from a woman. Our palace has a lot of property, and it is common for men to be too busy to take care of their families. You should take care of it."

Xu Weiqiu thought to himself: I didn't even ask where he was going. Wherever he likes to go, it's best not to appear in front of him.

She was thinking about the same thing in her heart, but on the surface she still responded obediently.

Respectfully and respectfully offered tea to her mother-in-law, Princess Cheng took a sip from the teacup, put the teacup down and said, "We have a lot of rules in the palace, you just learn it slowly in the future, I just tell you one thing. In this family, each house has its own kitchen yard, and usually eats in its own house, but on the first day of the lunar new year, the upper and lower palaces have to eat together in some building."

"Yes! My daughter-in-law has written it down." Xu Weiqiu responded.

Princess Cheng nodded, then turned around and took a jade bracelet from Nanny Xu and handed it to her, saying it was a gift for a meeting.

She took it with both hands, said thank you, and backed out.

On the way back, Haitang looked at the gift she had just received and said happily: "Ma'am, this bracelet is a favorite of the princess, it has always been worn on her hand, and now it is given to Madam, which shows that she is still very fond of you." heart."

Xu Weiqiu saw that the bracelet was emerald green and beautiful, and couldn't help but think of the jade plaque on Zhao Yan's body. She couldn't help asking: "Hai Tang, do you think this Princess Sheng is the son's mother? Why doesn't she look alike at all?"

Haitang was shocked when she heard this and said: "Ma'am, this food can be eaten indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense. Why is the son not the real son of the concubine?"

Seeing her reaction like this, Xu Weiqiu didn't ask any further. After all, she just mentioned it casually. She didn't care whose son this Zhao was.

She looked around and suggested: "Haitang, this palace is quite big, why don't you take me around to find the way."

She is the master, so Haitang naturally didn't dare to say no and could only nod her head.

They said they wanted Haitang to show her around, but Xu Weiqiu walked ahead, leading the maids around, and walked out of the palace through a back door after wandering around.

She had heard that the western capital was prosperous, so she wanted to see it.

The two of them walked through the streets and came to the busy city, and saw that it was very popular, and there were so many teahouses, restaurants, and shops that it was dizzying to see.

Xu Weiqiu looked here and there, and felt very friendly when he came to the vegetable market. He had been chatting with a vendor who sold dry goods.

At first, people were afraid when they saw her face covered with pimples, but seeing that she was well dressed and thinking of a big business, they chatted with her for a few words, but unexpectedly, the chat was very hit-and-miss.

Before Xu Weiqiu left, the vendor forced her a handful of dried wild mushrooms.

She handed the bundle of dried mushrooms to Haitang.

Haitang had never seen such a thing before and could not help asking: "Madam, is this free gift really edible?" You must know that the ingredients in the mansion are strictly screened, not everything can enter the kitchen of the Wangfu .

"Why can't I eat it? It's chanterelles. It's good for your health to take it back and make soup. Take it quickly."

Hearing what she said, Haitang had no choice but to reach out and take it.

"Ma'am, it's getting late, let's go home." Seeing her unfinished expression, Haitang couldn't help reminding her.

Xu Weiqiu heard the words, looked up, and said indifferently: "It's still early in the day, let's go, let's go over there again."

In desperation, Haitang had no choice but to follow her into another street.

Seeing an open-air noodle shop in front of her, Xu Weiqiu felt a bit hungry, so she walked over and sat down: "Boss, here are two bowls of sliced ​​noodles."

"Okay, two bowls of sliced ​​noodles!" The boss replied in a loud voice while he was busy.

Seeing this, Haitang hurriedly stepped forward to stop her: "Madam, the food outside is not clean, let's go back home and eat."

After hearing the disrespectful words, the boss turned his head and looked over.

Xu Weiqiu quickly scolded her: "Oh, you girl, what's unclean, can unclean people put it out for people to eat?"

Seeing that Haitang was silent, she added in a low voice: "Don't talk nonsense! Be careful not to offend people." After finishing speaking, she got up and pushed Haitang to sit on the wooden bench beside her. One of the bowls was brought to the opponent.

Seeing Haitang sitting there unwilling to eat, Xu Weiqiu couldn't help but rolled his eyes, she had seen Zhao Yan's tortoise hair before, she didn't expect that a little maid in his house would be so difficult to deal with.

She personally took a pair of chopsticks for the other party and stuffed them into her hand: "Eat it, you won't get sick if you eat it if it's not clean."

Haitang turned to look at her.

"It's delicious, try it..." Xu Weiqiu motioned her to eat it again.

Only then did Haitang reluctantly nod her head. After taking a bite, her eyes widened and she took another bite.

As a result, this Haitang ate a large bowl of sliced ​​noodles to the bottom, eating more than her.

After eating and drinking, the two walked around two more streets, and the sky finally darkened. Now Haitang couldn't hold back anymore, and kept urging her to go back to the house.

Xu Weiqiu still didn't enjoy herself to the fullest, she got a little impatient with being urged, and couldn't help retorting: "What are you in a hurry for?" She was thinking that she must not bring a maid with her when she leaves the house next time.
