Chapter 110 Su's Seven Niang, cool and generous
There is a group of people in the world who are born with the ability to break the harmonious atmosphere, and they are still inadvertently - like the second wife of the Duke of Wei.
In the main hall, everyone saluted and sat down in turn. The eldest princess only cared about gossiping with her grandchildren and grandchildren who had not been seen for several years, and cared about the smooth journey. Did they feel tired? Over the years, she had been neglecting Su and his wife for a while.
Su Jie suddenly remembered something and said to Huang Shi: "Because I met a good folk doctor in Qiongzhou, known Jiang Qinggu, he was good at treating difficult and miscellaneous diseases, because his ancestors were also former medical officials. After my persuasion, he became an official. This time I went to Beijing together, I wanted to officially recommend him when I met him to report his duties. Mr. Jiang did not fall in Beijing. In a sufficient place, I was in charge of temporarily placing their father and daughter at home. Although I had already given Songfu to them, I also asked my sister-in-law to take care of them.
Except for the eldest princess and beautiful scenery, all the people present here did not expect that Su Yi would recommend a doctor to enter the palace. The little women listened casually, but Huang felt a little surprised, but there was no doubt. They only heard that the gentleman had a daughter accompanying him. Thinking that if he lived in the outer courtyard with him, he proposed to take Jiang's wife Please enter the inner house for resettlement, but Xu said with a smile: "Miss Jiang has been traveling between the mountains and fields with her father since she was a child. She is a little lonely and not good at socializing. When she was with us, Lan'er always pestered her, so she was a little familiar with her. If she was placed in the inner house, she was afraid that she would feel inconvenient, and her sister-in-law only arranged a maid. Just follow the waiter, but you don't need to waste Zhou Zhang.
Hearing this, although her heart was a little nave, she thought that she had never heard of such a daughter in Qinggu in her previous life, and she just thought that she had never paid attention to it.
This episode was about to pass, but Li suddenly said, "The Empress Dowager suffered from illness and the Holy Decree to seek medical treatment after the Mid-Autumn Festival. The third brother was able to find a doctor from Qiongzhou early. Did he expect the Empress Dowager to have such a disease early in the morning?"
In fact, Leight did not mean to question, but just a casual sentence, but this sentence has some different meanings, as if Su Yi is looking forward to the disease.
Everyone said that everyone was very helpless about Li's carelessness, and the fourth mother was particularly grateful - fortunately, her father was not present, otherwise she was afraid that there would be another dispute with her mother afterwards.
Su Ji knew the temperament of his second sister-in-law and naturally would not mind. He explained pleasantly, "I intended to persuade Mr. Jiang to enter Beijing. It was not because of the will of the Holy Land, but it was a pity to see that his medical skills were outstanding and he was buried in the mountains. That's why I had the idea of recommendation. I didn't want to happen and went halfway. I just learned about the Empress Dowager's illness.
Only then did Li "s suddenly realize" and said, "So it is."
The harmonious atmosphere in the main hall has been restored after this small " twist".
I didn't want to turn Li's eyes and see the maidservant behind Xu's. She had combed the woman's bun and blurted out: "Mother, look, the appointment is getting more and more beautiful. Looking at this situation, we have to call her aunt, right?"
The appointment was originally one of the most useful maids around the eldest princess. At that time, Su Yi was released, and the eldest princess was relieved and arranged the most stable and capable appointment for the Xu family, and went to the South China Sea together.
Compared with the carelessness just now, Li's sentence is more or less a part of disaster.
It turned out that since the past, she had been jealous of the third master's single-mindedness towards Xu. Not to mention the concubine, she didn't even have a maid. For this, Li once specially "picked up" Xu - as a woman, she was virtuous and could not be jealous. After hearing this, Xu only smiled and still did not have the "self-consciousness" of taking a concubine for the third master, which made Li hate it.
At present, seeing the woman dressed up, Li only thought that it was the third master's "enlightened" - after all, he was still a man, and he was not married to a princess. How could he live with only one wife - this person who was about his mother-in-law's side, and I was afraid that even Xu would not dare to dictate to her. Maybe there be a good show of three rooms in the future. I saw it.
Li's self-balanced mentality and didn't notice the blushing face at all.
The atmosphere in the main hall frowned with the eldest princess and completely deadlocked.
Xu sighed secretly - the second sister-in-law is really the same, and she seems to be as "outspoken". This sentence should not be said in front of the little women. After thinking about it, she said euphemistically, "Second sister-in-law, now she is already a mother. Her eldest son should be full of age at the end of the year. She is very interesting. Very, I was so happy that I couldn't close my mouth, and I praised her grandchild's pride every time.
Li's smile stiffened. She was not good at twists and turns, and she also understood the meaning of Xu's words. Knowing that the appointment turned out to be the third master's wet nurse's daughter-in-law, which was not what she thought, her heart immediately surged up with thousands of unwillingness. She was less envy and jealous. She covered the corners of her mouth and pretended to smile: "Sister As before, he acted decisively, but it was a pity for his mother's heart.
The provocative meaning of this sentence is very obvious. Even the five-year-old Silang felt the hostility emanating from the second aunt. He leaned in the arms of the eldest princess and looked at his mother with some concern.
The eldest princess Nari was really helpless. She couldn't scold her in front of the younger generation. She only glanced at her coldly, but said with a smile, "Good girl, she is a blessed person. If you have time to take your eldest son in for me to have a look, which also makes me happy."
Because of Lee's words, the atmosphere in the main hall was somewhat strange. The eldest princess let go of Qi Niang and Sanlang and let Su Lian lead the younger generation to the back/court for fun. She only asked Su Zhi's official business in Qiongzhou and completely ignored Li's existence.
Huang looked aside and thoughtfully proposed to stare at the big kitchen to prepare lunch, and pulled Li away.
It is also said that Qi Niang was only seven years old when she left Kyoto, but because of her temperament, she was the most cheerful and had a good relationship with her sisters. At this time, she reunited with her sisters and became "stars and moons". In the corridor, seven golden flowers surrounded Qi Niang in the center, first asked about what she had seen and heard on the way, and was curious about the scenery of the South China Sea. To.
"I read a travelogue of the previous dynasty, saying that the sea is 'one blue', is it true?" In those years, Ijing was most in a relationship with Qi Niang. At present, she was close to her side and asked with a smile.
Although the daughters of Dalong's boudoir have the opportunity to go out, the opportunity to travel is still rare. There is no sea in Kyoto, and the little ladies can't imagine such a magnificent scenery.
Compared with three years ago, Qi Niang's height is much taller, but her eyebrows are still childish, with a pair of crescent-like eyes, bent from the smile from the heart. At this time, she often nods, but she is much more excited than her sisters: "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I just thought It is said that 'Endless' is exaggerated, and I doubt the color of the sea. It may not be as blue as a gem. I don't know that after witnessing it, I know that what is said in the book is not bad and immersive, so I know the meaning of the words of the predecessors.
Qiniang talked about the southern seascape and saw and heard with Qiongzhou, which not only made a group of little women listen with interest, but also the maids beside her couldn't help but gather around. When they heard that the fishermen went to sea and witnessed the big fish like hills, their eyes widened and inhaled in surprise.
"I'm afraid it's not true. If there is such a big fish, why don't you swallow people and boats, and the fishermen will still return?" Er Niang took the lead in expressing doubts.
Yijing said, but said: "According to the Notes on Ancient and Modern, there are fish in the sea that are whales. The big ones are thousands of long and the small ones are dozens of feet long. The fishermen should have witnessed whales. There are also records in the previous dynasty that the fragrance of dragon saliva comes from the sea. It is said that it is the saliva of sea dragons, and some people speculate that it is the saliva of giant whales. It is hard to say how it is."
"The fifth sister is really erudite. I have also heard A Niang talk about the name of 'whale'. The local fishermen also said that a hundred years ago, the ancestors witnessed the dead bodies of seven eight-foot-long whales on the coast. It can be seen that the rumor is not false, but unfortunately I have no chance to witness it." Qi Niang sighed without regret.
Liu Niang was concerned about other things, and she couldn't wait to interrupt the topic about the giant whale: "Seventh sister, are the Japanese pirates in the South China Sea really so rampant and fierce?"
Speaking of this, Qi Niang smiled, and her two beautiful eyebrows formed a delicate knot: "Those pirates are really evil. If a merchant ship meets them at sea, they will definitely die. Not only that, but they often land and rob fishermen. In the three prefectures of the South China Sea, there are countless people who have suffered from them. The number of officers and soldiers is limited, and it is true that they are a little defenseless. My father encouraged the coastal people to practice martial arts and self-defense and spontaneously organized a guard patrol at night. Once he found the Japanese pirates, they sounded the gong as a letter. The nearby villagers rushed to support. Although it has been effective, over the years, they still can't stop the chaos of Japanese pirates, and deaths and injuries often occur.
He also talked vividly about the cruel methods of the Japanese pirates, such as the evil of taking children away to cook food and cutting people's hearts.
Most people were shocked and couldn't bear to sigh.
Only Er Niang exerted her "doubt" nature again and said with a little ridiculence, "Has the seventh sister ever witnessed such a tragic scene with her own eyes? It's the same as the truth."
Qi Niang didn't care about it and didn't care about the second mother. She just said, "As a boudoir woman, I am trapped in the government office and can't be free. Naturally, I have never witnessed the Japanese pirates. If the sisters are curious, you can ask the maid around me. Her relatives died in the chaos, and she is the only one left."
Only then did you pay attention to the fifteen- or six-year-old maidservant standing behind Qi Niang, but seeing her tall and slightly dark skin, standing among a group of warblers and swallows, she looked pale and inconspicuous.
It turned out that this maid's name was Sumzhu. She was originally a coastal fisherman. Her blood relatives all died in the Japanese rebellion that caused the anger of the emperor three years ago. She was also a little bloody. In order to avenge her family, she actually wanted to dress up as a man and sign up for the army. Of course, she was detected that she failed to do so, but it became a "rare thing" in the local area. "Su Zhi took office as the governor of Qiongzhou. Hearing this, he felt pity for the orphan girl and sheltered her in the government office.
Although the shark pearl is a maid of Qi Niang, she did not sell herself as a slave. This time, Su Yi returned to Beijing, Xu asked the opinion of the mackerel pearl. If she is willing, she can choose a marriage for her in Qiongzhou, and there will be a support in the future, but the mackerelzhu said that it is difficult to give up Qi Niang and is willing to go to Beijing to repay Su Yi. A family is sympathetic to the kindness of shelter.
When the word "Japanese pirates" were mentioned, the mackerel beads had gritted their teeth. Without waiting for the little women to ask, they blurted out the tragedy they had witnessed with their own eyes. They were about to cry. When they were furious, their fingers were cracked. Even Er Niang also had the feeling of the same hatred. Liu Mei upside down and scolded the thief, and Liu Niang clenched them tightly. With her fist, her little face turned red, and her softest-hearted Eight Niang had tears in her eyes at the beginning.
"I wish I could be a man and kill the enemy." The mackerel finally gritted his teeth and hated it.
A group of girls nod their heads at the same time. Suddenly, they heard Sanlang playing around the circle with Silang outside the corridor and asked in a crisp voice, "Who do you want to kill?"
Zhu Mei suddenly laughed.
