Chapter 495 Fanwai Princess and Shadow 5
The two sat down on the cashmere rug, Wen Wan inserted a piece of watermelon and chewed it in their mouths, the appearance of eating was very pleasing to the eye.
An An was speechless: "Aren't you tired from eating like this?"
Wen Wan shook her head and said nothing until she finished eating the watermelon in her mouth before explaining in a soft voice: "Mother said that a girl will only be liked if she has a good manner."
An'an curled her lips, inserted a watermelon and took a big bite, slurring her words: "We are children's paper, and it is interesting to eat things..."
Seeing An An's heartless appearance, Wen Wan felt a little envious in her heart. The mother said that she was different from An An. An An was born as a princess, but she was just the daughter of a warrior.
The two played for a while, An An felt a little bored, Wan Wan didn't know when, she became more and more ladylike, and couldn't let go at all.
It's a pity that she just made a big mistake, and several friends were grounded by each family. Jing Qi was also thrown into the barracks for training by Uncle Feng Wu.
An An continued to read her comic books, while Wen Wan walked around the room. The two girls usually get along very well. An An's toys Wen Wan can also play casually.
Wen Wan came to the dollhouse next door. The whole room was designed in a dreamlike way. The walls are surrounded by rows of exquisite antique racks, on which are stacked a variety of colorful toys.
It is said that His Royal Highness King Su specially designed this for An An. Wen Wan couldn't help being envious, and couldn't help but think of a sentence her mother said unintentionally
—Do you want to be the daughter of His Highness King Su?
She shook her head vigorously to drive away the unwanted thoughts. Pick up a seemingly ordinary Luban lock on the shelf.
However, this was specially made by Jing and Di on An An's second birthday. Most people will never see the emperor in their lifetime, but An An is often played in the lap of Jing and Di.
Gentle eyes fixed on a delicate doll in the middle of the shelf. The doll is wearing a beautiful blue princess dress, with big eyes and waist-length hair braided into beautiful braids.
It is said that it was given by Aunt An An. Daxia doesn't sell any at all.
No girl could resist the temptation of the doll, she gently and carefully took the doll down, and gently held it in her hands to play with.
An An, who was holding a comic book, came over and saw it. She stared nervously at the doll in her hand, and wanted to get the doll back, but her mother taught her that friends should know how to share!
An An frowned, and couldn't help telling: "Wanwan, be careful, don't damage the candied haws." Candied haws is the name An An gave the doll.
Gently and perfunctorily responded, he went to undo the doll's pigtails with great interest.
An An sat on the wool carpet absent-mindedly playing with Jiulianhuan, and glanced at the doll in Wen Wan's hand from time to time.
It's been a long time since I saw it, but Wen Wan hasn't returned the doll to her...
An An couldn't sit still anymore, she grabbed Jiu Lianhuan and brought it to Wen Wan: "Let's play alone for a quarter of an hour."
Wen Wan grasped the doll's hand slightly tightly. After all, she was a child, so she couldn't help but say what was in her heart:
"An'an, I really like this doll, can you give it to me?"
She knew that An An was always very generous. When she first came here, her mother made two cloth tigers and asked her to give one to An An.
In the end, An An gave her a finely crafted wooden horse and a beautiful windmill. In An An's eyes, there is no distinction between high and low toys, but the fact is that the prices of the two things are very different.
So it must be the same this time, An An has so many toys, it is also appropriate to give her a doll, although this doll looks expensive.
An'an was obviously stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then shook her head firmly: "No, my aunt made this for me. I can borrow it from you to play with, but I really can't give it to you."
After speaking, she directly took the doll over, Wen Wan subconsciously stretched out her hand to pull it. Although An An is nearly two years younger than Wen Wan, she has already started to practice martial arts, and she is naturally strong, so she pulled over easily.
Looking at the disheveled hair, she yelled angrily, "Wanwan, you can't be careful, the hair of the candied haws was torn off by you!"
After speaking, she began to comb the doll's hair distressedly. An An didn't take this to heart. She and Jing Qi were used to fighting every day, and they never held back when they were unhappy.
Several people often fight, but they reconcile after fighting,
So the little girl didn't notice the stiffness of the gentle face behind her, and the unconcealed anger in her eyes.
Wen Wan clenched her little hands tightly, and couldn't help but think of her mother's words,
—An An’s willingness to play with you doesn’t really treat you as a friend, you’re just a toy for her to entertain when she’s bored. The toys she gave you are all unwanted by her, and they are giving you alms.
Wen Wan felt very angry when she heard this, and refuted her mother loudly,
But now, she faintly felt that what her mother said was right.
An An Mingming has so many toys, why give her a doll? She is Ann's friend.
But she knew that she couldn't lose her temper, so she played for a while holding back her displeasure, when Song Zirou came over and asked her to go back to eat, so she left.
An'an didn't pay attention to this at all. The little girl threw herself on the doll with all her heart. She just said "oh" casually, said "I'll go play with you at night", then lowered her head and continued to play with the braid in her hand.
I heard from Grandma Tao in Pretty Pavilion that after a while, my grandmother who lives far away will come. I don’t know if my aunt will come with her.
…
On the other side, after Wen Wan returned, she was always depressed during the meal. She wanted to say something several times, but was stopped by Song Zirou's fierce eyes.
Wen Wan was a little wronged, her mother said that a noble mansion pays attention to eating and sleeping without talking, so I don't know when it started, the mother and daughter didn't say a word from beginning to end when eating.
In the silent room, only the sound of dishes colliding and the sound of a woman's mouth chattering can be heard.
Song Zirou always wants to be a noble lady, and she is demanding on herself and her daughter in every way.
Take eating as an example, I heard that everyone eats very slowly, so what could be solved in a quarter of an hour, she endured the hunger and chewed the rice in small bites. It took more than half an hour, and the food was already cold. Not to mention, the cheeks hurt from chewing.
But Song Zirou felt that all the efforts were worthwhile.
As everyone knows, it is difficult to paint the skin of a tiger, and those ladies are the result of being influenced by nature from childhood.
But at this moment, Song Zirou ate very slowly, but couldn't help but smack his mouth from time to time.
And the so-called "don't talk when eating" is not a rigid rule that you must not talk when eating, but you can't talk and laugh wantonly, which is neither polite nor good for your health.
Finally, after waiting for nearly an hour (over an hour and a half), Song Zirou put down his chopsticks, touched Wen Wan's head, and asked softly, "What's wrong with Wan Wan?"
Wen Wan lowered her head and whispered, "Mother, I want a rag doll."
"Hey, what does mother think, mother will do it for you when she is free."
"No..." Wen Wan pursed her lips and raised her head: "An An has a doll, which was given by Aunt An An. It is very beautiful, and Da Xia can't buy it at all."
Song Zirou's eyes dimmed. An'an's aunt... I heard from people in the mansion that she is the queen's daughter of an overseas country.
Seeing her daughter huddled in her arms sadly, her heart softened for a moment, and she couldn't help but say what was in her heart:
"Wanwan, don't worry, in a short while, you can also become the daughter of His Royal Highness King Su."
She couldn't help raising her head and asked curiously, "But I have a father!"
Song Zirou patted Wen Wan's shoulder and said with a smile: "But your father is already dead.
There is an unwritten rule at the border. On the battlefield, if a soldier is saved by a brother in the same robe, but the brother in the same robe dies, the soldier must take care of the other party's wife and children. However, in order to avoid gossip, most soldiers will marry each other's wives and children into the door, or recognize them as brothers and sisters of the opposite sex. "
King Su has already married a wife, so take a step back and accept her as a side concubine!
There is indeed such an unwritten rule at the border, but it was a time of war, and the country urgently needed to reproduce the population. It was a helpless move for both men and women to survive. And generally in the case of two persons of equal status.
Wen Wan's eyes lit up when she heard this: "Is that so?" Then she can also be like An An, with countless beautiful clothes and someone to serve her!
Song Zirou took out a red invitation card from the makeup box: "The young master of the Yongchang Houfu will have a full moon banquet in the future, so I will dress up gracefully."
Wen Wan opened her eyes wide: "Yongchang Hou Mansion is An An's maternal ancestral home? But I heard from An An that the princess really hates people in Yongchang Hou Mansion!"
Song Zirou's eyes flashed: "The child is talking nonsense, this breaks the bones and connects the tendons, and the princess is just talking about it."
…
An An has been very boring these past few days, this time she made a slightly bigger mistake, Feng Shuo ordered her not to leave the yard.
This day, the little guy was swinging on the swing in the garden bored, and heard a few women passing by the kitchen say that the young master of the Yongchang Hou Mansion is full moon, and for the sake of excitement, he would throw money at the door.
When An An heard this, her big eyes rolled around.
She knows about Yongchanghou Mansion! Mother's and aunt's mother's house.
But my mother hates that family very much, and Nuo Bao also said that the people in Yongchang Hou Mansion are particularly disgusting, and Nuo Bao just doesn’t say how disgusting they are.
Anyway, she is idle when she is idle, why not join in the fun in the past.
Sure enough, she told Eunuch Hua that she was going to the "grandfather's" house. Eunuch Hua hesitated for a while and agreed, but arranged many guards for her.
An'an doesn't matter, as long as she can go out and play.
The carriage hadn't arrived at the gate of Yongchanghou's Mansion, An An saw from a distance the well-dressed Wen Wan standing at the intersection.
An An asked the carriage to stop. While waving his little hand at Wen Wan, he dexterously jumped out of the carriage,
Two maids, TianGao and TangTang, followed at a leisurely pace. Despite their cute names, they are actually two cold beauties with good martial arts. They were specially poached from the Red Lotus Sect by Shen Mingjiao with a high salary.
An An took Wen Wan's arm affectionately: "Wan Wan, why are you here!"
Glanced at her gently and cautiously: "I said An An, don't be angry, a good classmate of mine from Zhou Family School went to Yongchang Hou's Mansion with her mother, and she insisted on inviting me, so I'm embarrassed to decline."
There are no women’s schools in Daxia. If a woman wants to be literate, she must ask her husband to hand it in at home, or her parents and brothers will teach her. However, Song Zirou is illiterate, and Shen Mingjiao feels that it is unnecessary to hire a husband just for Wen Wan.
So she was stuffed into the home of a fifth-rank lady whom I met in Dali Temple. The lady's home invited a well-known female wife a few years ago, and some relatives and friends sent her school-age daughter to the nearest one, and of course they also wanted to give money. Be repaired.
Basically, they were all middle and lower level officials. Shen Mingjiao didn't think too deeply about it, but felt that girls should also be able to read and write.
An'an waved her small hands indifferently: "It's okay, Wanwan is Wanwan, and Yongchang Hou's Mansion is Yongchang Hou's Mansion, they are different."
Wen Wan breathed a sigh of relief. Although she would occasionally lie, it was the first time in front of An An.
Seeing that Yongchanghou's Mansion was not far away, An An simply waved the carriage back. The two children walked forward hand in hand. Song Zirou quietly followed behind.
Tiangao and Tangtang turned around and gave her a cold look.
Song Zirou lowered her head in fear, and had no choice but to step back.
Gently and casually mentioned: "I heard that the wife of the eldest son of the Yongchang Hou Mansion has given birth to three sons in a row!"
An An tilted her head and gave her a strange look: "I was born!"
Wen Wan whispered: "I also want a younger brother and sister..."
An An just wanted to say that she wanted it too, when Wen Wan continued to say in a soft voice:
"But I heard from Ms. Wang's family that my mother doesn't like her when she has younger brothers and sisters. Especially when younger brothers are born, adults are very patriarchal. Many younger brothers don't want to see their older sisters anymore!"
Seeing An An staring at her in disbelief, she seemed to be stunned. She suppressed her heartbeat, leaned close to An An's ear and whispered:
"So, let me tell you quietly, if His Royal Highness King Su has a son, he will definitely not like An An, and will drive An An out as written in the script,"
An An was dazed for a while before returning to her senses, then shook her head firmly:
"Nonsense, father and mother will not dislike An An, and father and mother will only have one child, An An." After finishing speaking, she seriously emphasized: "Also, I really want younger siblings, but mother said she can't have one!"
The last sentence she said was quite resentful. I still remember that Aunt Cui gave birth to a little brother last year. Aunt Cui sighed and said that she had already had her third child, and she would never give birth to anything...
An An went to see the little brother, the red ball was very cute, and that guy Qin Shuqing showed off for several days.
An An ran home and asked her mother to give birth to a younger brother. All kinds of coquetry and cuteness were used. Mother leaned on the recliner and sighed extremely sadly, saying that she would never have another child. When she said this , and gave Dad a hard look.
An An thought her mother was sick, and never mentioned it again.
After An An finished speaking, she couldn't help but stare at Wen Wan, and then ran away with her calves, and Tian Gao and Tang Tang followed suit.
Wen Wan was a little flustered, Song Zirou caught up with her a few steps and patted her daughter's shoulder: "The princess is getting angry from embarrassment."
Wringing her fingers gently and uneasily: "But... why did we do this? What if the princess comes back and An An complains?"
Song Zirou shook his head indifferently, with deep eyes: "It doesn't matter how the princess thinks, the most important thing is the prince. Wanwan remember, as long as the princess's reputation outside the world is more domineering, she will cause more troubles. After a long time, King Su will definitely feel the same. If you have an idea, then we will have a chance!"
There was a light in her eyes, listening to An An, Shen Mingjiao, she... can't give birth!
No wonder, King Su is in his thirties and has only one daughter under his knees.
Ah! Shen Mingjiao must be jealous!
…
An An ran a long way before stopping, her pretty face was full of anger.
"Tangtang, rice cake, has Wanwan changed? I'm a little angry!"
She can't tell why? It just feels that Wanwan has become very strange.
The two maids with cold faces obviously couldn't comfort others, so they just said dryly: "Mother and daughter Wen's intentions are not right."
An An clenched her small fist: "Huh! An An ignored her for half a month, no...a month!"
The two servant girls were amused by her aggressive appearance.
Looking at the commotion in front of the Yongchang Hou Mansion, An An suddenly didn't want to go in, and was waiting to go back, but saw a familiar small figure among a group of adults.
