Chapter 473

He Zijin went home and told Ah Xi about this matter. Ah Xi was a little nervous and did not forget to ask her mother, "How could the Empress Dowager know me? Is it my mother, what did you tell the Empress Dowager?"

"I didn't say anything, just talk about family matters." He Zijin smiled and touched his daughter's tender little face, "Are you happy when you come back? Somehow, the Empress Dowager saw it and asked me what happy things were, so I told you the truth. The Empress Dowager especially likes to hear people talking about family matters. Maybe he was happy to hear me, so he said he wanted to see you."

A Xi hurriedly asked her mother, "Is the Empress Dowager very majestic?"

He Zijin said, "There are some majesty, but the Empress Dowager is also very kind. As long as she is polite and sensible, she will be very kind to others."

A Xi was more relieved. She thought she was very etiquette and had a good personality. Besides, her mother seemed to be able to speak to the Empress Dowager and the face of Chaoyun's grandfather. After this analysis, A Xi felt that entering the palace was not very nervous.

He Zijin told this, which caused quite a response from the women in the family. In particular, Old Madam He pulled her granddaughter to look around and said straight, "This girl looks lucky when she was born, and she is indeed a blessing." Her imperial edict was just about to sneak into the palace to pay tribute to the two palaces at the 1st and 15th day of the lunar month. Old Madam He wanted to come to the palace to pay tribute to her. On the first day of the eighth month, it was the Qianqiu Festival of the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager gave up the honor of the imperial edicts. If she wanted to go there, she would have to pay Mid-Autumn Festival.

I have to wait a few days before I was born in the Mid-Autumn Festival. Now, Mrs. He is looking forward to the Mid-Autumn Festival to visit the palace to pay his respects.

Then, A Xi, a girl without imperial decree and identity, rushed to the palace to pay tribute to the Empress Dowager before my mother. What a blessing!

Old Madam He felt that he had good granddaughter good luck and good fortune.

Isn’t it a blessing to be able to enter the palace to pay tribute to the Empress Dowager?

When Mrs. He talked about Ah Xi and said, "It's good to have twins. At that time, I went to the temple to burn incense and asked them for a visa, so I asked for a visa."

Shen smiled, "Yes. Ah Xi is so kind and generous."

"that is."

However, although he was very confident in A Xi, Old Mother He still arranged to make two new clothes for A Xi to wear to the palace. Moreover, Old Mother He was very generous and took two pieces of bright materials from his own private room for A Xi. He Zijin also said, "I have never seen this material before."

Old Madam He habitually curled her mouth and said, "This is the good material I have stored, and it can be seen at any time." In a sentence, her baby.

He Zijin smiled, "Grandma, you are so biased, I only said to Ah Xi. I am so old that I am serving Tianer in front of you, but I didn't see you giving me a piece of one or a half."

Mrs. He said, "I asked for materials for me. I was about to say that you were about to be a mother-in-law. You can just replace two clothes. When I came back, you have different things in the past few days. Life is all about frugality. As the saying goes, you can eat and wear and wear, and you will suffer from poverty if you can't figure it out. You should save some." Because He Zijin was a poor person when she was a child. When Mrs. He was beaten up, he was afraid that He Zijin would be too poor to eat in the future. As a result, life is getting better and better. However, she looked down on her own girl's new clothes when she saw the weather. So, the material was not enough. Mrs. He muttered, "It's not Ah Xi, it's the best time to dress up."

"I'm only over thirty years old, I'm asking you to say that it seems like I'm so old." He Zijin said, "Even if you don't give me this, you'll be a mother-in-law, and you should give A Ye's wife two dollars, right? I'll collect it for my daughter-in-law." He Zijin doesn't like to hear He's mother-in-law say that she is "the age of being a mother-in-law". Although this is also a fact, He Zijin feels that she is still young.

Furthermore, looking at his grandmother's stinginess, He Zijin had to get the material.

Unexpectedly, He Zijin reminded Mrs. He asked, "Aye is seventeen next year, when will he get married to A Bing?"

He Zijin said, "I thought it would be okay to have it for a few more years. After all, Abing is a girl's family. She is the same age as A Ye, so she cannot delay it. This year is the year of national filial piety. We will discuss it with our in-laws and we will do it for them next year."

Mrs. He nodded, "That's the reason. If you get married earlier and have a few more sons, A Nian's descendants will become prosperous." Mrs. He said that A Nian is good in everything. He is also a child who has grown up, and he is very stable and reliable. It's the same. His destiny is too lonely and has no relatives in his tribe. In Mrs. He's opinion, the family will not be prosperous, so this is also what Mrs. He has always been worried about. Fortunately, his maid is prosperous and his husband is prosperous, so he gave birth to three children and one daughter for A Nian. When A Ye gets married next year, A Nian has grandchildren, why worry about his descendants not being prosperous.

Old Madam He made up her mind and felt that A Nian's family was just around the corner.

Yes, although A Nian has a good official position, she has few family members. In the eyes of the people of the present, she is not considered a prosperous family.

When He Zijin saw that the old lady turned the topic to A Ye having a son, she quickly reminded him, "You have to treat this granddaughter with a granddaughter and a granddaughter-in-law with a granddaughter-in-law."

Old lady He glanced at her girl, "That's natural." She thought to herself, this silly girl is just stupid, her daughter and daughter-in-law can be the same.

He Zijin reminded the old lady, "Materials."

"Oh, how could I fix such a death-seeking ghost like you?" Old Madam He hugged her arms angrily and said, "I know how to pick things up all day long." Of course, her own girl has also been filial to her. The main reason is that Mr. He felt that this girl was careless, which made people worry. Alas, how can she be a mother-in-law for others in the future?

He Zijin smiled and said, "Then I will thank you for A Bing first."

"I thank you for it, I will not give it to A Bing. I will not ask you to do it. I will save it myself. When A Bing comes in, I will give it to her." In this way, A Bing will definitely know that she is an elder.

He Zijin was convinced that Old Madam He was still very impressed.

After a few words between grandparents and grandchildren, He returned to the topic and made two new clothes for Ah Xi. When he went to the palace to pay tribute to the Empress Dowager, He Zijin said, "She hasn't finished wearing her new clothes yet, some are."

When Mrs. He heard this, she immediately took the material back. Fortunately, she was generous to her grandchildren. After thinking about it, she didn't ask for it. She said to Ah Xi, "Since you have new clothes, you can keep this material so you can't use it all at once. It's good to make clothes in the future. You are growing fast now, and it's useless to make a lot of clothes. It's shorter and hard to wear. Isn't it a waste?"

Ah Xi nodded and said, "What my ancestors said is that my skirt was more than an inch shorter last year, so I put it in a slant, which not only saves money on making clothes, but also looks like a new style."

Mrs. He praised her very much, took Ah Xi's hand and said to Shen, "This child is a hundred times better than her mother who can't live."

Shen smiled with a pursed lips.

A Xi's mother who couldn't stand her son said: It's really hard to resist quarrel with the old lady!

Although Mrs. He was very happy for A Xi, she was able to come to the palace to meet the Empress Dowager. She thought a lot about her age. Even though she felt honored for A Xi, she was not happy at all. She even asked her girl privately what was the reason why A Xi entered the palace.

He Zijin said it truthfully, and He Zijin smiled, "I talk about children a little endlessly. Maybe the Empress Dowager has never seen an ordinary child, so she wants Ah Xi to come to the palace to see something?"

Mrs. He nodded and praised her girl very much, "This matter is done right. If you have this opportunity, don't say anything too much to the man in the family. As an official, he depends on his skills. If he doesn't have enough skills, he insists on giving his family a high position, which will harm his family. A Xi is different. A Xi is a girl, and it is very useful for a girl to have a good reputation." Feeling that her girl is reliable at critical moments, Mrs. He praised her again, "I can do this matter clearly. I will praise A Xi more in the future. Our A Xi is already good-looking and has a good temperament. I have never seen any better than A Xi."

He Zijin smiled, "No matter how good you are, I won't call you my ancestors."

Mrs. He rolled his eyes, "Our child is really good."

She has always been honest in this matter and is most pleasing to her children.

Shen also felt that his daughter was doing well.

These days, the requirements for boys and girls are very different. As long as a boy can study, even if he is poor, he will still have a future in the future and will not worry about marrying a good wife. Girls are even more likely to be born. Like Ah Xi, the eldest daughter of a middle- and low-ranking official, is not outstanding in the imperial capital. But now it is very different to be summoned by the Empress Dowager.

Even if Ah Xi’s marriage is settled, even if he has such an opportunity, even his in-laws will pay more attention to it.

He Zijin didn't think so much about it. It was just the benefits that Mrs. He and Shen thought about. He Zijin only realized after returning home. It was not that she couldn't see the benefits of being summoned by the Empress Dowager, but she had never thought about doing this.

Then, she accidentally accomplished it.

He Zijin was a little worried, would anyone think she was too good at engaging in things?

I couldn't care about this worry, so He Zijin had to mention the etiquette that Ah Xi should pay attention to when entering the palace. Ah Xi's etiquette was taught by Madam Ji. However, it was her first time when she entered the palace, and He Zijin would inevitably have to explain some small details or tips to her daughter.

There are also the empresses who often go to Ci'en Palace, such as Empress Dowager Su, and the concubines and concubines. The eldest princess and Princess Jiachun who live in Ci'en Palace, and the eldest princesses in the royal family. They made a surprise attack for Ah Xi to enter the palace.

Grandfather Chaoyun also knew about Ah Xi’s entry into the palace. Grandfather Chaoyun didn’t realize there was anything he needed to remind him, wasn’t he just entering the palace?

However, Madam Ji was careful and said to Ah Xi, "The Queen Mother likes girls the most."

Therefore, Ah Xi had definitely done his homework before entering the palace.

Despite doing enough homework, when she stepped into the towering imperial city, Ah Xi was still shocked by the majestic royal style. However, she just used the light at the end of her eyes to scan the scenery within her field of vision. Not to mention entering the palace, she would not even visit someone else's house, which would be too rude.

A Xi was a little nervous, but she was also a child who had been studying since childhood. Moreover, A Xi's youth education was cultivated by Madam Ji, who was sent by Madam Chaoyun by the Empress Dowager. It can be seen that Madam Ji was originally a nanny in the palace. Moreover, it was not an ordinary nanny. Because some of A Xi's studies were guided by Madam Ji when she was a child. Madam Ji not only knew how to read, but she was a real nanny. In the palace, most of the nanny who knew how to read and studied were of high quality.

What's more, A Xi's main educator was Grandfather Chaoyun, the nobleman among the nobles.

There is also her father, who is from Tanhua and is a person who pays attention to the fact that more children in the family than those in the official position. Jiang Tanhua definitely spends more time on the family than in the official position. You can imagine how much you value the education of your children.

And her mother, this lady's own experience is enough to write a book.

Therefore, although A Xi is only the daughter of an ordinary middle-level official, the education she received is definitely comparable to that of the daughter of the Duke's Houmen family. At this time, A Xi also showed many years of educational achievements. Even if she was a little nervous, it did not affect her demeanor. A Xi's natural and generous manner is definitely not a temperament that can be achieved through training in a short period of time.

Even Princess Jiachun, who has a good relationship with Princess Chu, has to say in his heart that Miss Jiang is not as good as Princess Chu in terms of identity, but in terms of appearance, she is really no worse than Princess Chu.

The Empress Dowager obviously had a good impression of A Xi. She looked gentle and gentle. She made A Xi speak closer and speak carefully, and said, "This child is so good."

He Zijin smiled, "She and her brother are twins. They were the most similar to each other when they were young. When they grew up, Ah Xi would be more gentle."

Ah Xi was embarrassed to praise her mother, thinking, could her mother praise her like this in front of the Empress Dowager? Oh, her mother is so unmodest.

The Empress Dowager said to an old nanny with a snowy look on her side, "Look, is this child born a little like Xingyun Shaoshi?"

He Zijin didn't know who Xingyun was. However, the old lady narrowed her eyes and looked at Ah Xi and smiled, "Miss Jiang is a gentle person at first glance. Marquis Jiang is a strong person. Although he looks a bit similar, because of his different temperaments, he doesn't look very similar."

The Empress Dowager smiled, "Just Madam said Xingyun was powerful."

He Zijin understood that Jiang Xingyun was talking about the Marquis of Guiwei. It turned out that the word "My Marquis of Guiwei's Boudoir is named Xingyun".

The Empress Dowager talked to this old lady for a few words, and then started talking to A Xi, asking her if she could adapt to the life of the imperial capital when she first came to the emperor, what she liked to make, what tea to drink, and what dishes to eat on weekdays. A Xi was never a disgusting person, so she told her truthfully that this child completely continued her mother's talent for telling stories, and she could say a little thing very interestingly. A Xi mostly talked about life in Beichang Prefecture. When she called her in the remote area of ​​Beichang Prefecture, she was like a paradise. In A Xi's words, "As soon as the river thaws, the grass was green, and the flowers were about to bloom. Every day, you can hear the cuckoo singing long and short. The wheat seedlings in the fields turned green, and there were many wild vegetables in the fields, a cluster of

A bunch of them emerges, and in the early spring, they pinch some tips to eat. Although they are wild vegetables, they are very fresh. In summer, Beichang Prefecture is so cool in summer. We never need ice. The fruits, pears and peaches are ripe, and there are too many fruits to eat. Not to mention autumn, the medicinal materials in the mountains and wild game in the countryside are all in the market. Moreover, Beichang Prefecture is close to the Quechang, and there are even merchants from Baiman Kingdom who are farther away from Beiliang to trade. I will also say a few words about Beiliang and Baiman Kingdom." She also learned a few words for the Empress Dowager. She didn't expect the Empress Dowager to understand Beiliang's language, and she also talked with A Xi in Beiliang's language. A Xi was so surprised that the Empress Dowager was even more knowledgeable.

Empress Dowager Su and others said, "The knowledge of my mother's mother has never been seen in our founding of the country."

The Empress Dowager said, "When I was young, I learned a little, but I was not proficient."

Empress Dowager Su smiled and said, "My mother is well-educated and well-known in every court. In this world, I really don't know what the mother mother doesn't know. However, this girl is still a foreign language at a young age, which is quite rare." As she said that, she pointed to Ah Xi.

The Empress Dowager laughed, "Yes, so I often say that it is not a bad thing for boys or girls to learn more."

A Xi hurriedly said, "I missed my daughter, because her family was close to the venue and had the advantage of the location, so she was lucky enough to learn a few words. In fact, she learned very well."

The Empress Dowager smiled slightly, "The words are for speaking, and it's good to be able to say them."

The Empress Dowager also said, "Can Jiang Gongren speak sarcastic words?"

"My wife asked A Xi to be a translator for me." He Zijin quickly explained the meaning of "translation". "My wife didn't understand this, because A Xi could understand it, but she occasionally dealt with people from Beiliang, and asked her to give us an explanation in the middle."

He Zijin explained the meaning of the translation clearly to the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager nodded and said, "Translation. People from the five directions have different words and different desires. To achieve their ambitions and understand their desires, it is called Ji in the east, Xiang in the south, Di Bu in the west, and Translation in the north. Translation means transmission. Translation is very good."

The Empress Dowager looked at He Zijin and expressed her appreciation.

He Zijin was very ashamed and thought that she was almost using the noun from her previous life. As a result, when she gave the Queen Mother a knowledgeable explanation, she felt that it was really good to translate this word.

The Empress Dowager talked to A Xi for a short time, so she asked He Zijin to teach the eldest princess and Princess Jiachun, and A Xi also followed her mother.

The Empress Dowager seemed a little tired, and even Empress Dowager Su and others sent him to rest.

When everyone was about to leave, the old nanny who was as frosty as snowy as she was still sitting beside the Empress Dowager and did not leave. After a long time, the Empress Dowager said, "Jiang Gongren looked at Miss Jiang as if he was looking at a priceless treasure."

The old lady didn't know if she remembered something, but a hint of pity flashed in her eyes. She whispered, "Mother always looks like this when she sees her children."

The Empress Dowager sighed softly, "Yes." I no longer remember whether my mother had seen me like this, but she gave her life for me. Her love for me exceeded her life. But how much I hope you can live well. I have experienced hardships like this, but now, I am so lonely.
