V1.Chapter 16 (2/2)
”In fact, I'm just weird. In terms of wealth, our six valve deposits are deeper than the royal family of Wei Dynasty! There is nothing in the palace, but we other people may not have it. ” Wei Chang Ying turned his mouth and said, ”and my uncle is not a man who clings to wealth with all his heart, right? Why do I have to force my cousin to marry the prince? Today's Prince is not a good match. I've heard from my cousin that there are many favourites in the east palace now, including four or five grandsons. Cousin married in the past, even if she was the prince and concubine of the scenery, but her identity as the first daughter of the Song family is not bad! What's the trouble? ”
As soon as the voice was low, ”and I heard that the position of the empress seems to be unstable now. The prince's highness was set up because of her mother's favor. Once the empress's mother was abandoned, I'm afraid that the prince's highness is the same as the previous several abandoned princes At that time, cousin... ”
”Don't say more!” said Madame song
Wei Changying pesters: ”why does uncle have to be cousin's crown princess?”
”Your uncle has always promised.” Mrs. song frowned with a haze on her face and said, ”OK, I'll write to him to explain that she doesn't want to marry in the east palace Don't make any noise! ”
Wei Chang Ying asked suspiciously, ”will my uncle agree? My cousin has written several letters. ”
”How do I know?” said Madame song? I haven't written yet! But I am always a younger generation and daughter in water, but I am your uncle's sister. Your uncle will listen to my words. ”
Obviously, she didn't want to talk about it more. Once she pushed the cup, she sent someone to tea.
After the meal, Wei Changying went back to nianshuangting, and when he went in, he saw Zhu Shi's little maids gathered together under the steps in a circle, peeling something together. He always urged his maids to stand on the corridor and look at it, which was also a smile. ”What are you doing?” she asked curiously
”Ah, the eldest lady is back!” Hearing this, they all lost what they had in their hands. They wiped their hands on the veil and came up to see the ceremony.
He Shiying stepped down and said kindly, ”how early is the eldest lady coming back today? The sour plum soup for consumption is not cool now. ”
”Never mind. I'm not thirsty.” Wei Changying points to several small baskets under the finger gallery. It's going to be late. Although the Wei family is rich, they also advocate economy. Since the master is not here, he hasn't turned on the light at this time, and after a few steps, he can't see the contents of the baskets clearly. He asks, ”what is it? Why do so many people get together? ”
He said: ”Zhu Shi and Zhu Xuan just got free and went to the garden to play with water. So I picked up a big handful of wild water chestnut and came back. I took my skirt and wrapped it around it. I dyed the two new Lotus silk skirts. These two little hooves were so forgetful that I cried a few times. I invited you to peel and eat them together. ”Wei Changying said: ”picked in the garden? I haven't noticed. Are wild water chestnut the same as red water chestnut? ”
”It's not the same, whether the fruit is plump or the number of rubies.” He said, ”this wild water chestnut just picked a maid with Zhu Shi. She chose one for a long time, and the biggest one was less than two-thirds of that of Hongling. Taste? It's sweet and refreshing. When pinching it, I don't touch the juice of the shell carefully. It's also full of astringency and bitterness. It's not as sweet and crisp as it was when Hong Ling was raw and soft and waxy when it was cooked. It's just for eating fresh. ”
Wei Changying is interested: ”give me some, too.”
Zhu Shi answered with a smile and ran to the corridor to get a blue ground sea bowl of apricot flowers. He said: ”it's a coincidence that the maids came back. They just peeled most of the bowls and didn't catch up with them. Now they are all filial to her.”
He heard the words and spat: ”the eyelids are shallow! I'm afraid the eldest lady doesn't remember your filial piety? It should also be mentioned in a special way that you are all the people who serve the eldest lady. It is also appropriate to peel ten bowls and eight bowls for the eldest lady. ”
Zhu Shi, he's niece, is not afraid of her, though she has taught her a lesson. The little maid put out her tongue and chuckled: ”aunt is so fierce. Where is the maidservant performing with the eldest lady? Isn't that to say that the eldest lady has a happy mouth? ”
He taught Zhu real time that Wei Changying had picked up a piece of lingrou, and nodded, ”it's Qingtian, different from Hongling.”
Green room on the proposal: ”since there is a garden, then every day to prepare a bowl of elder sister?”
”That's it!” Wei Changying points to Zhu Shi's bowl. ”Take it in, and you'll have a good time talking.”
”Go and soak the water in the well, or it will be dried up.” Zhu Shi said busily.
Wei Chang Ying nodded contentedly: ”you've stripped me for such a long time, but it's cheaper for me. I can't make you happy. Tomorrow I'll ask the kitchen to give you a portion of my dessert.”
Everyone smiled and thanked. They went in with Wei Changying.
[Note 1] Beijing view: in ancient times, in order to show off their martial arts, frighten the enemy and show their ferocity, the shape of the pyramid made of the dead body of the enemy and the earth was placed in a prominent place on the roadside or the gate. I remember several years ago I saw another way of saying that it was built with the head. Each head was piled into a tower. It was a grey devil cult style! Well, imagine for yourself.
[Note 2] wild water chestnut: I don't know how good I am. It doesn't sell well. It's only one finger, but I always think it's better than red water chestnut.
