hairpin family

Chapter 140 Heartache
"When I came back, the princess was left to speak by the concubine. I don't know what he said. The princess left the concubine's room, and that's it."

"This..." Yun Xiang was speechless for a moment.

Looking at the appearance of the Princess, it's not just that she's not happy, she's not even angry, she's always been a relaxed and happy person, even if she's a little colder sometimes, it still makes people feel very comfortable staying by her side, almost It's not just because of the elders that the girls and gentlemen of a good family are friendly with her.

This appearance is really unpredictable.Because I don't know the reason, it is even more difficult to resolve and comfort.

Yun Xiangchu thought it was because of some unhappiness with the Yixing county magistrate, but he didn't think it was because of the old concubine, this is not something that second- and third-class maids like them can talk about.

For a while, both of them fell silent.

After thinking for a while, Yun Xiang still said: "If the old concubine annoys the princess, wouldn't it be difficult for the princess in the future? I heard from A Chang that the attitude of the steward in Beiping to see the princess today is really... In the future Isn't it difficult for the princess to be in the mansion? Anyway, she can't be called the concubine and the princess. Yunshang is clever, or I will get up early tomorrow and use the princess's early heart method, Make two kinds of snacks and ask Yunshang to send them to Rongshou Juli. Maybe the old concubine will remember the Princess' kindness after using the snacks? Or you can also ask Zhizi or Wanying sisters for a question or two? "

The method is a good one, but Zisu thought about it for a while, and still shook her head: "Now we don't know the reason, so don't be self-defeating, the princess is a successful one, we just follow her orders, don't do unnecessary things .”

The princess once said that it doesn't matter how smart they are, there are many smart people in this world, but few loyal ones.As long as they are loyal enough, they are the best help for the princess.

Yun wanted to hear it, and knew what Zisu said was reasonable. Although he was worried, he could only bury this worry in his heart: "I listened to my sister, and I also told A-Shang and A-Yi to be careful these few days. Gossip with the sisters in other courtyards."

Rongshou Juli Zhizi was consoling the old concubine: "You don't have to worry too much. The Princess is a sensible person, but after all, she is young, and it is inevitable to be unhappy about some things for a while. After all, father and daughter love each other for a while There are some strange festivals, and you will always think about it. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, you just have to be happy. There is no ancestor in this world who loves grandchildren like you, and the princess is very filial to you in his heart. Don't you see that she was very obedient and answered your words just now?"

The old concubine sighed and thought, she should have agreed, but she didn't.

But she also knew that it would be easy for Qin Zhao to get close to Qin Huaiyong from the bottom of his heart?Besides, the manager of Murong's family sent by Princess Yunhe is really too rude, how can this be caring and visiting?It's clearly for the next Mawei.

Thinking of this, the old concubine couldn't help being a little annoyed. It's just a princess of a foreign race. No matter how young A Zhao is, she is also a descendant of the Qin family. How can there be any reason to call a servant of a foreign race to scare her?So what is Murong Xian really?But when Yun and the Princess came in person, she should also be a good stepmother.In this palace, it's not up to her stepmother to do whatever she wants.

When she is an old concubine, and Jinyang is the head of the inner court, is it a show?

Now that the person has not returned to the capital, he stretched out his hand upside down.This means that she is still alive now, if she dies, wouldn't she be able to treat Ah Zhao whatever she wants?
She was already sorry for the daughter-in-law of Nian'er, but Azhao was the blood of the Qin family, would she just watch her being bullied again?
In the final analysis, he did not teach his son well.All these years, I have lived in secluded places, why is it all because of practicing Buddhism with one heart?Isn't it because I have no face to face those old brothers, sister-in-law and younger siblings back then?
The old dowager couldn't help feeling sad.I called Qin Zhaolai, because she was afraid that she would resent her father because of the management of the Murong family. She said it as a grandmother, and the child is very lenient. I think this unpleasantness will pass away. I don't want the child to see it. She doesn't care about everything, but in the end, because she was homeless and her mother died, her father married a woman from another family during her mother's filial piety.

Seeing that the consolation was useless, Zhi Zi sighed secretly, lit benzoin, and helped the old concubine to sleep.

In Fucui Pavilion, Qin Zhao stared at the pen and paper in a daze for a long time, and Fang Chang breathed a sigh of relief.

Some things, such as a thorn in the throat and a thorn in the flesh, can disappear without thinking about it.Of course, it's not worth thinking about, just dial it out when it's time to dial it up.Is it possible that because others are not willing to make you live happily, you really do what others want, and you can’t find happiness for yourself?
What should I do?

Called Yun Xiang to come over and study ink for her, thinking that it is better to draw the blueprint of the window first, go to the tea shop tomorrow, hand it over to Chun Yushang, and finish the matter of using oilcloth as a window screen, and then think about finding some places. A person who is proficient in calligraphy and painting, it will be a matter of time to paint some paintings on these oilcloths instead of glass as window screens.Besides, I have to find a suitable place in Fucui Pavilion, use that oilcloth to build a small shed, and try this oilcloth to see if it can replace plastic film and glass to build a big shed.

It takes a long time to grow vegetables and flowers to see the effect. It is not as good as in Zhujiazhuang. Some sprouts come quickly, and the effect can be seen in one or two days. In seven or eight days, the first crop of sprouts The dishes are ready to be served on the table.It just so happens that there will be more varieties, and it will be a fresh seasonal vegetable during the Spring Festival, and I will send some to the various prefectures later, and I have the right to treat it as my filial piety.

Yun Xiang entered the study room, and saw that Qin Zhao's face had cleared from the rain, and he was relieved. He cheered up and wanted to make her happy, and said with a smile: "The princess said last time that she wanted to draw a picture of beauties, servant girl Although not as pretty and agile as A Changchang, not as beautiful and graceful as A Yi, but the round face and round eyes of the servant girl are also festive, isn't it? The princess is free, so I can use the servant girl as a human being and draw a small portrait of the servant girl?"

Qin Zhao also knew that when he came back at night, he frightened these girls, so he followed her words and said with a smile: "When I get back to work, I will draw a picture for each of you. Don't say that I am partial to anyone. Only today Princess Erben has business to attend to. You have finished researching my ink honestly, and I will give you a beaded flower belt tomorrow, and I will go home during the New Year, so that your mother can see that her daughter is pretty, Find a good husband for you."

Yun Xiang blushed, and gave Qin Zhao an angry look: "The princess is really a man, but if you talk about this, I will report it to the princess when I turn around."

Qin Zhaodao: "Usually he is honest, but this time he knows how to make a small report."

I don't know what the small report is, but I heard that it meant to tell a secret, so I just laughed: "It turns out that the Princess is also afraid of Her Royal Highness."

Qin Zhao licked the tip of his pen and began to draw a rough draft, and said, "I'm afraid, Your Highness is in charge of whether you follow your princess to eat and drink, or live a miserable life with your princess, so don't think If you tell me the secret, you will be fine, and if I am unlucky, you princess, you have to follow me honestly to eat chaff and swallow vegetables."

Yun Xiang carefully helped her roll up her sleeves, while continuing to bicker: "The servants are not afraid, after all, the princess eats sweets and swallows vegetables, so he will not make the servants hungry."

Qin Zhao couldn't laugh or cry: "Damn girl, is it really good to enjoy the shade under the big tree? You are very confident."

After drawing the blueprints for the windows, they went to sleep after cleaning their hands and faces.

Early the next morning, Qin Zhao got up and practiced marksmanship for a while, and also practiced the sword technique that Yunrui had taught him before. In an instant, it was like being plated with golden light, and even the residual lotus in the house was full of warmth.

Wiped off the sweat from her face, she was ordered to put away the weapon, while Yun Xiang pulled her to clean her hands and face, and then had breakfast, and asked Zisu to deliver a letter to Chunyu Shangqin, that's why she was called Yunshang Yunyi and Yun Yi came to play: "Let's go, accompany the princess to see if there is any suitable place to grow vegetables in our Fucui Pavilion, the soil should be thicker."

In fact, there is no requirement for soil quality to grow sprouts.It's just that it's inconvenient to ask someone to send fine sand for a while, so it's better to find dry soil to plant, and at the same time, pick a few seeds from the seeds sent by Ah Shu and sprinkle them into the soil to see what can be planted.

All in all, those few pieces of oilcloth are enough to set up a large shed with one or two plots of land.

Yunshang used to be in charge of flowers and trees, and she is most familiar with what kind of places in Fucui Pavilion are suitable for planting. After hearing this, she saw that Qin Zhao's expression was full of joy, and there was not even a trace of unhappiness last night. To make fun of it, he happily said: "Why did the princess think of growing vegetables? How can I grow vegetables in this weather? But the princess asked the right person. Other slaves are useless. When it comes to planting flowers Hastily, there are only slaves in this courtyard. The slaves know where there is good soil, so I will accompany the princess to have a look."

While talking, he took out a fur coat and put it on Qin Zhao: "The princess practiced kung fu for a while in the morning, and she was sweating all over, and her body is still hot. We are surrounded by water, and the wind is strong. If it’s cold, put on your fur clothes quickly, or if you catch the wind and then catch the cold, it will be the fault of the servants.”

Qin Zhao's body is not comparable to that of ordinary little girls because of practicing martial arts all the year round, but she also obeys Yunshang's wishes. This girl is very clever with her mouth. It's better to do what she wants early in the morning, and my ears will suffer less.

When we went out, the sun was just right. Although the bluestone road was a little slippery due to the frost, it was feasible and slow, and it was not affected.

From time to time, Yunshang led Qin Zhao and Yunyi to an open space near the east wall. Yunshang pointed to the open space and said, "The princess likes gardenias. This place was cleaned up by slaves, and they plan to open it next spring. , to plant gardenias for the Princess."

The weeds on the ground and some ornamental flowers and trees have been removed, and the ground has been neatly tidied up so that it can be used directly, which saves the effort of reorganizing the soil.

Qin Zhao nodded in satisfaction, and told Yun Yi, "Go and tell Qin Lei, let him try to find forty or fifty thin bamboo branches about seven or eight feet long, and remember to remove them cleanly. Then let Qin Lei Ming sent me all the tarpaulins that were made yesterday."

Speaking of this, I also thought of the matter of bringing in your two scoundrel apprentices to help.

Turning to Yun Shang again, she said, "Go and tell your elder sister Yun Xiang, and ask her to go to the outer courtyard to find Counselor Xiao Qin, and send someone to your villain's umbrella shop, and pick up your two apprentices of your villain." Come on, just tell me that I have something to do here, and I need two people to help. As for the procedures for entering the mansion, let Counselor Qin find Qin Changshi to report to him, and say that if these two people are willing, I will stay in the palace to serve in the future.
