Traveling through the harem: the favorite concubine

Chapter 139 Extra Story [-]
At the gate of the capital city, a small navy blue canvas carriage slowly approached, followed by a larger purple carriage.

After the navy blue canvas carriage stopped at the city gate, a woman dressed as a servant of a wealthy family stepped down, walked to the inspection office, and said to the soldiers standing on both sides: "Brother, it's convenient, my wife is coming back to Beijing to visit relatives." .”

The soldiers who were inspecting were free for a while, and glanced at the two carriages that the woman was coming over, but they refused to let them go with a serious face.

"Go to the back and line up!"

Another soldier glared angrily. The two carriages seemed to be from other places. Seeing whether there were signs of dignitaries, they even wanted to jump in line.

The mother-in-law scolded and shouted, and there was a layer of anger on her face. It was obvious that although she was a slave, she followed the master well. How could she have suffered such anger.But in the end, I was still afraid of delaying the matter and making the master unhappy, so I forced a smile on my face, took a purse from my cuff, and handed it over favorably: "Little brother, it is really urgent, you Make it easy."

The two soldiers saw that there was a smile on their faces, and when they were about to reach out to take it, a young servant girl suddenly ran down from the purple carriage, walked up to the old woman and said, "Why is it still not good, madam is waiting for you!" Already!"

After all, he turned his gaze to the two soldiers and said, "Do you know who my lady is? Why don't you hurry up and let my lady go there first."

The two soldiers withdrew their smiles and did not argue with the old and the young, but ignored them and began to inspect the carriage below.

"you……"

The young servant girl was thrown off face, her face that could only be regarded as delicate was shy and embarrassed, she couldn't help screaming: "You are so bold that even the young lady of the prime minister's family dares to stop you!"

"Miss of the prime minister's family?"

The two soldiers glanced at the two slightly shabby carriages, with a slight sneer on their faces, but they said: "Don't say it's the lady of the prime minister's family. When Princess Anrui returned to Beijing with the son-in-law, they also followed the rules. Come!"

Of course, when Princess Anrui and her son-in-law returned to Beijing, the guard of honor had already cleared the crowd in front of them. Originally, the royal family relied on travel rules and always had to clear the way.It is indeed in accordance with the rules.

But as soon as these words came out, this maid who had never seen the world was frightened.

This servant girl had just suddenly gained the respect of her master. She had never seen such a big scene before. She used to scold her mother-in-law and argue with the guards, but when she heard the words, she shrank her neck and trotted back. In the carriage.

Sitting in the carriage at this time was a beautiful young woman with a bit of wind and frost. In the young woman's arms sat a girl about ten years old, and in the corner was a thin child who was only seven or eight years old. Look at the material of the clothes on her body. But they are all dressed up as masters.

When the young woman saw her little maid returning to the carriage, she frowned and said, "What's the matter, don't rush to Beijing, Aru is exhausted!"

"Husband... ma'am, the guard said that we would not be allowed to jump in, and that we would queue up for inspection."

"What did you say!"

The expression on the young woman's face was full of anger, and she even couldn't believe her ears, "Why don't you tell me my father's name, how dare they stop me!"

"Ma'am, the slaves have said it, but they said that it will be the same when Princess Anrui comes."

The little maid lowered her head, her face full of bewilderment.It was also the first time for her to encounter such a situation. When she was in their place before, the master of the family was the county magistrate, so she would stop them and let them line up.

"They really said that!"

The young woman wanted to stand up as she spoke, as if she wanted to get out of the car and argue.

"mother!"

Sitting in the young woman's arms, the girl called Aru grabbed her mother and said softly: "Mother, there is not much time, let's wait, and you will not lose your identity if you go down!"

Obviously, the girl's last words spoke to the heart of the young woman. She stopped her body, closed her eyes and leaned on the back of the carriage and gasped heavily for several times before calming herself down, but she couldn't help but The girl said to the girl: "It's really... When I get home, I must make your grandpa look good!"

After saying this, the young woman seemed to bring back fond memories of the young woman. The young woman took the girl's hand and said, "Aru, you don't know. Before, when I was in Beijing, there was no need to line up, whether it was entering the city gate or not. Even when I go to the palace, I am always greeted by them... Every time the season changes, there will be rewards in the palace. The best jewelry stores, makeup shops, and tailoring shops in Beijing line up to let me choose. , it’s all your father’s fault, otherwise you wouldn’t have to suffer this crime!”

"Mother, I'm not guilty. When we were at home, my father was the county magistrate, and mother, you were the prime minister's daughter. Any good things in the county were the first to be brought to me for me to choose." The girl had a slight smile on her face. Laughing, looking very calm, comforting the young woman.

"What good things can be found in that poor village? You haven't seen any good things..." The young woman felt even more sour when she heard this, and she held the girl's hand tightly and said excitedly: "In that county, there is no good food for food." What you are wearing is simply...the maids in your grandfather's house did not live as badly as us!"

"mother……"

"Aru, you don't know. You haven't seen it before. When you see it, you will know how much our mother has been wronged..." The young woman's eyes were red, and she suppressed her tears. "Aru, whatever you say this time, you have to stay in the capital. Mother must let you marry well and stay in the capital."

"it is good!"

The girl smiled subtly.

The young woman seemed to have seen hope, but she didn't talk about the previous things, but looked at the boy who was huddled in the corner, her tone was completely devoid of the gentleness she used to treat the girl, and she just said coldly: "You Study hard and don't let your father down."

"Yes, mother!"

The boy shrank his neck, but nodded respectfully to his aunt.

Seeing his appearance, the young woman felt angry, but in the end she turned her eyes away and just turned a blind eye. The young girl also gently comforted the young woman, lest her mother lose her temper with her concubine brother.

Actually speaking, this younger brother played a lot of roles in being able to come to the capital this time.Firstly, he wanted to find a good marriage with her, and secondly, this concubine brother had also reached the age of school, so he wanted to find a good teacher for him.These are completely impossible in the barren place where they live.

Everything can only be counted on her grandfather's house far away in the bustling capital. Her grandfather was a prime minister with a man under one person and more than ten thousand people. Her uncles are all powerful ministers in the court...

The girl's gaze gradually became far-reaching and confused. She had heard her mother talk about the beautiful and prosperous capital countless times since she was a child, and described a life like heaven countless times. Now, she is about to touch it...

The carriage drove through the bustling and bustling streets and the wide bluestone avenue, lined with a dazzling array of shops, tall and majestic or beautifully carved buildings.

Gorgeous carriages and sedan chairs coming and going, people walking on the road in bright clothes...

Everything is so novel and attractive.

Huang Jingting looked at her with a bit of vicissitudes in her eyes, but she was also a bit cramped. After staying in that aggrieved and barren place for more than ten years, when she came back here, she...almost felt inferior.

And the scenery revealed by the slightly opened curtains also made Chen Ru, who has always been reserved, unable to move his eyes away, his face was unbearably surprised. As for Chen Ru's younger brother sitting in the corner, he was always suppressed by his aunt Scared, even though he was a child at this time, he was still rolling his eyes.

The car drove from the bustling street into a wide bluestone road, and it suddenly became quiet, with high walls on both sides. Chen Ru was a little uneasy, and couldn't help but hold her mother's hand tightly, saying in a low voice : "Mom, why is there no one, so quiet?"

Huang Jingting smiled smugly when she heard the words, and explained to her daughter: "This is the place near the imperial palace on the East Street. Ordinary people are not allowed to come, even some small officials in the capital are not allowed to come. People who live here They are all in the capital... no, they are the top officials and nobles in this country, so they are naturally quiet."

"really?"

Chen Ru couldn't help but want to take a look outside, but the carriage stopped, which shocked her again.

"We have arrived!"

After Huang Jingting finished speaking, she couldn't help showing a look of laughter and tears on her face. She suppressed the emotions in her heart and just walked under the carriage, but she didn't see anyone at the door. The expression on her face was a little gloomy. At this moment, the gate of the prime minister's mansion opened suddenly, and Huang Jingting saw her mother walk out of the gate.

She looked at her mother who didn't seem to have changed much from her memory, and felt a burst of excitement in her heart. Just as she was about to step forward, she suddenly saw her mother's gaze passing by her place, and she didn't stop, but saw the sight from the past. A pair of teenagers and a very cute girl in a pink palace dress came up from another road.

"Bei'er, Jun'er..."

When Mrs. Huang saw a young man who was about the same height as her grandson, she didn't have much surprise on her face. When she was about to go forward to salute, the young man smiled and stretched out his hand to stop him, saying to Mrs. Huang: "Mrs. Huang, this junior will send Bei'er home, so I will take my leave first!"

If it was someone else's child, Mrs. Huang must have left a meal for her, but this...she dared not. It is said that the parents of this family eat together, and it would be bad if it was delayed.

"Then... Mr. Zhao, go slowly."

Mrs. Huang bowed slightly to see her off, but the girl named Bei'er waved her hand and shouted to Mr. Zhao: "Brother Aman, goodbye, you have to come and play with me often!"

"it is good!"

Mr. Zhao touched Bei'er's little face with a smile, and said: "If you miss Brother Aman, let your brother tell me."

"Ok!"

Belle nodded vigorously.

It wasn't until Mr. Zhao was sent away that the few people looked away. Bei'er raised her cute face and said to Mrs. Huang, "Third Grandma, how did you know that Bei'er was coming back, and came to pick her up?" !"

"Isn't it that Xiao Bei'er didn't arrive, and the things I bought were delivered first? The third grandma thought that my little Bei'er is coming soon. I didn't expect Xiao Bei'er to change into a new dress!"

"Well, Brother Aman's mother gave it to Bei'er."

When Mrs. Huang heard this, she looked at her grandson beside her suspiciously: "Jun'er, didn't you take Bei'er to play in the street?"

"I went to Brother Aman's house for dinner at noon, and I saw Brother Aman's father! And my father!"

Belle rushed to talk.

Mrs. Huang was slightly taken aback when she heard the words, but she didn't show anything on her face, she just said: "Okay, let's go home and tell Bei'er and Third Grandma what they did today, okay?"

"it is good."

Bei'er held Mrs. Huang with one hand and her brother with the other, and walked in the middle towards the gate.

When passing by Huang Jingting's carriage, she tilted her head and took a look. Although she often saw this kind of carriage that was said to be visiting at the door of her third grandfather's house, those were all men like uncles and grandpas.

When Bei'er stopped, Madam Huang also stopped, and when she was about to ask what's wrong with Bei'er, Huang Jingting, who had been hiding in an inconspicuous place beside the carriage, suddenly stepped forward and shouted: "mother!"
