Chapter 904 Lectures
Xie Congyun didn't know who Nanzhang was. Outside the palace, he heard someone shout "sister-in-law", and a woman in a green gauze skirt and a crimson square diamond-pattern scorched cloth beige came in.
The woman was tall and slender, with shaved shoulders, a hanging bun, and a gold-studded red and sapphire hairpin. She saluted Xie Zhiwei first.
"Don't be too polite!" Xie Zhiwei leaned over and raised his hand, pointing at Xie Congyun, "This is the daughter of Xie's parents in Luzhou, her boudoir name is Congyun, help me take her for a walk in the garden."
"yes!"
When Xie Congyun saw her turn around, seeing her fair complexion, handsome and elegant, she was a little ashamed of herself, but quickly raised her head. She was the eldest daughter of the Xie family, how could she be better than this woman? Go low?
"Miss Xie, let's go. If you don't come, I'm going to visit the garden. I heard that the crape myrtle flowers in the Imperial Garden are blooming, and the fragrance of Albizia juliensis can be smelled even at the Kunning Gate."
Xie Congyun thought it would be useful to go to the palace. When he returned to Luzhou in the future, he said that he had entered the palace and visited the Imperial Garden. Who would not be envious?
Xiao Lingsu led Xie Congyun out, and Mrs. Hong looked away from the backs of the two of them. Just now, Xie Zhiwei didn't introduce this girl to Mrs. Hong, so I don't know what happened?
"I don't know this girl named Nanzhang?" Mrs. Hong asked deliberately.
"It's my sister-in-law. She is very polite and has a good temperament. With her accompanying Fifth Sister, Aunt Hong doesn't have to worry." Xie Zhiwei raised his sleeves and said, "They are all members of the same family, so I won't go around Wan'er has spoken, since grandfather said to let mother take younger brother to Luzhou, and explain clearly to the second old man, but the apology can be avoided!"
Xie Zhiwei's tone was particularly forceful. Mrs. Hong was a little unhappy after hearing this, and asked, "I don't know, what does the empress mean, what do you want to say to the second old man when the first lady takes the fifth young master to Luzhou?"
"Of course, you can say what you want to say. Seven years old don't sit at the same table, even ordinary people's homes are the same, let alone people like us. When the fifth sister saw the outsider, instead of avoiding it, she joined him. Go up, since you are not afraid of melon fields and plums falling down, don't be afraid of people saying it, brother Xi, what's wrong with saying it? He's just telling the truth."
Mrs. Hong was trembling with anger, her face was flushed red, "Today, the Empress called my concubine into the palace to reprimand me?"
Xie Zhiwei picked up the teacup, took a sip of water, and said with a smile, "Reprimand? Aunt Hong doesn't know how reprimands are done in the palace, right? When the Empress Dowager reprimanded Princess Taiping, Princess Taiping knelt Listening to the training in front of the palace gate is called a reprimand. After all, I am too talkative!"
Mrs. Hong shuddered all over, and all the cold sweat broke out. She hurriedly knelt on the ground, "Empress Empress, I deserve to die!"
"A concubine? I still remember that when I accompanied the late emperor to Peach Blossom Villa, the fifth young master called himself a 'subject' in front of the late emperor. Brother Xi was only five or six years old at that time, which made everyone laugh. The late emperor gave the fifth young master From the accompanying reading of Jiupin."
Du Gui smiled from the side, "Yes, the slave also heard in the palace that the fifth young master was young and ignorant, so the emperor relieved the fifth young master by saying that he should call himself 'grassman'."
"That's not it!" Xie Zhiwei curled his lips into a smile, "Look, there are no seniors or inferiors in or outside the palace. Go ahead and give Mrs. Hong two copies of "Nv Zhe" and "Nv Analects", and have a good time Read it and understand some truths."
Mrs. Hong's face blushed and then turned pale. She and Xie Hong are cousins, and her mother-in-law is her aunt. She has no children, but she is very sympathetic to her.
Xie Zhiwei is the eldest daughter of the first wife, and her daughter is the eldest daughter of the second wife. They have the same fate, but they are completely different.
Mrs. Hong was full of resentment in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it, she just begged, "Empress, I can't write two words of 'thank you' in one stroke. The empress gifted these two books today, and the entire capital will soon be filled. You know, what you lost is the empress's face!"
"Yes, it is precisely because of this that my grandfather wronged my mother and younger brother to go to Luzhou to apologize to Mrs. Hong and Miss Xie. But Mrs. Hong, what did my mother and younger brother do wrong? Bengong His mother is Mrs. Junguo, and his younger brother is studying with him from the ninth grade, and Mrs. Hong didn't say how much face she would give to my mother and younger brother, but she agreed in one breath."
"I can't write two 'thanks' in one stroke. I won't want the face I can get, but I don't force it. My mother loves the world, and I still need Mrs. Hong to fulfill this face?" Xie Zhiwei's cold eyes A murderous intent flashed in his face.
Didn't Xie Congyun want to climb high? She asked her to climb one, but the high branch broke and fell to her death.
Xie Zhiwei stood up, Xuantao and Bailing rushed up to help her leave.
Du Gui walked up to Mrs. Hong and asked in a high-pitched voice, "Mrs. Hong, do you want to resist the order?"
"The woman took the order to thank you!" Mrs. Hong raised her hands in humiliation, and took the "Women's Rules" and "The Analects of Women" from Xie Zhiwei.
Xie Congjun followed Xiao Lingsu to the Imperial Garden, and after sitting for a while, the maid beside Xiao Lingsu came over and said, "Princess, the Empress has finished her training and has given a gift. My wife is leaving the palace."
Xie Congyun didn't pay much attention to the maid's words. When she heard that her mother was going out of the palace, she hurriedly got up, "Princess, let's go back. Can you invite me to come to the palace next time? This imperial garden is more expensive than other places." Much better looking."
She took Xiao Lingsu's arm, Xiao Lingsu avoided it calmly, and said with a smile, "Okay, when the wintersweet blooms, I invite you to come to the palace to enjoy the plum blossoms."
When the wintersweet blooms, I don’t know where she is!
Xiao Lingsu's right hand gently turned the bracelet on her left wrist. Last time, Mrs. Gu entered the palace and put it on her wrist in front of her sister-in-law. Later, she heard that it was a Hanyu bracelet.
In the aristocratic family, all the things that come out are some years old, and many of them have been passed down for several generations. The word "inheritance" is emphasized. This pair of Hanyu bracelets may be handed down from the ancestors.
Later, she found out that the bracelet was actually passed down from the Gu family to the eldest daughter-in-law.
At that time, Mrs. Gu and her sister-in-law verbally agreed on the wedding date, which would be the end of this year and the beginning of next year.
The sister-in-law didn't introduce Mrs. Hong to her just now, which means that the sister-in-law felt that Mrs. Hong was of low status and didn't need to be introduced to her. Moreover, when the sister-in-law introduced Miss Xie, she didn't mention that she was her younger sister.
Xiao Lingsu accompanied her for a while. According to the rules, Xie Congyun was going to leave the Shenwu Gate. She paused, "Miss Xie, I won't send you off. I'm going to report to my sister-in-law."
