Da Suining

Chapter 2 Tang Xiaoniang

It is said that the unfavored concubines in ancient times were promoted again by the emperor, and when they wanted to see the sky again and regain favor, they would often wipe their tears with excitement.What's more, he couldn't walk well, his legs were weak, and he had to be supported by two eunuchs.

I really feel the same way.

I don't know which thunder did not strike right, but Xiang Daying thought of her daughter.

The bedridden grandmother in Ruodongkua's courtyard heard the news, she might have sat up in a dying state of shock, secretly boasting that her Jinshi son had grown up.She only made a few calls yesterday, and Xiang Daying is now enlightened.

Xiang Suining's maidservant, Ming Zhu, couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear, her teeth were on her ears early in the morning: "It must be that the master sees that the girl has done a good job in serving the old lady, so he wants to reward the girl for something."

It was obviously called by his own father, and after the first day of the new year, he might not be fifteen. I don't know why Xiang Suining hesitated before the battle.

There was a kind of demonic aura in this sudden summoning.

On weekdays, Xiang Suining lives in the west courtyard, and after crossing two bluestone paths full of rose flowers, he can enter the grandmother's east courtyard.

Now that she was going to the front yard, she didn't tell her grandmother, for fear that she would burst into tears, and if she got emotional, she would flash her waist again.

Come out from the west courtyard, pass through a white arch carved with Chinese zodiac signs, then pass through two hanging flower gates and a long corridor, bypass the garden, bypass a small pond, pass the rockery, go up two steps, and push away a The vermilion gate is the front yard.

The Xiangfu family has a big business, it is a property earned by several generations, not counting the Zhuangzi outside, just this house with three entrances and three exits can be counted in Xuanguo.In summer, the mansion keeps freezing, and when autumn comes, charcoal is lit. Even the second-class girls in the mansion are treated like the young ladies of ordinary people outside.

Walking around the mansion in winter, my back is sweating.

There was a lot of charcoal burning in the inner hall of the front yard, which was very warm.

Xiang Daying leaned on the nanmu Taishi chair and was confused.Wearing a satin and gold robe.The gown is soft and dense, and the satin is also a new material from Suzhou. The ingot pattern embroidered on the corner of the gown is thin and slippery. It is not the work of an ordinary embroiderer. Several taels of silver are enough to feed a country family for half a year.He brushed off his robe and opened his mouth, revealing two rows of teeth.

Xiang Daying's concubine Tang Xiaoniang quickly picked a grape and put it in his mouth.

The grapes came from nowhere in the ice and snow, purple and black, black and shiny, like eyeballs.

Tang Xiaoniang is probably Xiang Daying's eyeball. It is said that when she married into this Xiang's mansion, Xiang Daying slept in her room for half a year. He completely forgot about the big wife, old lady and children.If it were placed in the imperial palace, Tang Xiaoniang would be the favorite of Jiaofang, at least she would have the status of a noble concubine, what an honor.The concubines in the entire Xuan Kingdom are probably not worthy of carrying her shoes.

Counting it, she has been in the Prime Minister's Mansion for more than ten years, and she is still an old onion. The young girls in Yishui, Xuancheng, looking forward to serving a rich man like Xiang Daying have all the white hair growing out, which is a waste of effort.Xiang Daying's eyes never left Tang Xiaoniang, and he only recognized her as a concubine.

Even when Xiang Suining entered the inner hall, Xiang Daying didn't notice.

Being a concubine to do this is really honoring the ancestors.

Tang Xiaoniang turned her eyes, saw Xiang Suining first, gave her a sideways glance, fiddled with the handkerchief and said with a smile: "Since the second girl is here, she has received the punishment herself, go outside and kneel."

A pair of half-person-high gray and white porcelain plates were placed with dark green dwarf pine trees. The smell of pine needles was a little strange, and Tang Xiaoniang's words were also a little strange.

"Your father is also doing it for your own good. If he doesn't teach you how to be a man, how will he marry a good husband in the future?" Tang Xiaoniang's voice is really nice, like warm wind around the ears, making people slightly drunk.

"I don't know what mistake my daughter made." Xiang Suining asked back.

Ever since she was reborn in this prime minister's mansion, she has behaved quite well, knowing that she was unpopular and stupid in the past, and was always manipulated by these people. Even when she was pushed into the pond by Tang Xiaoniang, she didn't dare to say anything, just said yes I fell into the water because I didn't see the way clearly, because my father didn't make decisions for me, and I was afraid of being pinched by Tang Xiaoniang.But it's not good to endure humiliation. In this case, why not live boldly once, no one is born to be beaten.

"The second girl has really grown up, she dares to question the master." Tang Xiaoniang took a grape in her mouth and chewed: "It seems that the master punished her to kneel, and she is not convinced."

"You want to know why you were punished?" Xiang Daying grimaced.

"Want to know."

"You tell her." Xiang Daying rubbed Tang Xiaoniang's hand.

"Of course it's about the coffin, which made the old lady angry, and even called your father to give him a reprimand. I guess it was you who told me the secret."

"I do not have."

"You won't admit it even if you tell the secret?"

"In the past few days, I have been serving my grandmother in the Dongkua courtyard. I slept in the small bed in the cubicle at night. I never left the Dongkua courtyard for half a step. Except for my personal maid Mingzhu, everyone around my grandmother in the Dongkua courtyard can testify. If my father doesn't believe it, You can send someone to interrogate."

Xiang Daying frowned, the whistleblowing matter, if you want to find out, you can find out, Xiang Suining has been with the old lady these days, and she probably doesn't know about the front yard.

Tang Xiaoniang hurriedly beat Xiang Daying's back: "Leaving aside this matter for now, the old lady is now bedridden, and it is also the fault of the second girl. She is a girl who is not stable and almost killed the old lady. The master will not punish her. Everyone in Xuanguo will laugh at our house for having no rules, rewards and punishments are not clear, and it is not proper."

I don't know how many lifetimes of enmity with Tang Xiaoniang, she is like a cross-eyed old hen, grabbing Xiang Suining and refusing to let go.

Xiang Suining knelt on the ground with a "plop".

Tang Xiaoniang felt surprised when Xiang Suining knelt suddenly.

"You know you're wrong? Are you convinced to punish you to kneel?" Xiang Daying looked down at her.

Xiang Suining knew in his heart that Tang Xiaoniang was fanning the flames. If he gritted his teeth, he would not kneel. According to Xiang Daying's temperament, maybe someone would take the family law whip. Kneeling, and I don't know how many hours to kneel.

Grandmother couldn't move in Dongkuayuan, so even if she found out about the situation here and sent a nanny, my father could kill him first and play later. Anyway, he himself would be beaten and punished at that time, and it would be useless to ask anyone to reason.

What is not soft mouth should be soft.

Xiang Suining looked at Xiang Daying with tears in his eyes and said, "Don't say it's my daughter who is at fault, but my daughter is not at fault. My father made her kneel, but my daughter dared not not kneel. I was reckless in the small garden, and I hurt my grandmother. I deserve it." Wan Shi, I feel guilty and often cry at night, my father punished me for this, and I should be punished. There is only one thing, my daughter wants to tell my father."

"what?"

"I slipped and hurt my grandmother that day, and someone was behind my back."
