After dinner and tea, everyone slowly dispersed and went back to their rooms. Chuchen winked at Xiao Yuexian and left for the outer hall. Xiao Yuexian put down his tea bowl, got up and followed her out of the lobby.
They entered a corridor. The top of the long wooden corridor was covered with wisteria. The clusters of grape-like wisteria flowers were in full bloom, exuding a refreshing fragrance in the dusk. "How do you feel?" Izuku asked with a slight smile.
.
Xiao Yuexian's face felt a little hot. Everyone's enthusiasm tonight made her feel very good. The children's liveliness and cuteness made her fall in love with this big family. She nodded shyly and said in a low voice, "I like it very much."
Chuchen couldn't help but smile bitterly in her heart. Not only men liked beautiful women, but women and children also liked them. She could see that everyone liked Xiao Yuexian, first of all because of her beauty.
"Second...Concubine"[
Xiao Yuexian originally wanted to call Chuchen's second sister, but she still couldn't. After all, she hadn't officially started yet. She didn't dare to be too confident. Chuchen felt her nervousness, so he took her arm and said with a smile: "What's the matter?
To be honest, I am a cheerful person, and back then I was also very happy with my grudges."
"Hmm! I was wondering, am I dressed too well?"
Xiao Yuexian discovered today that everyone was wearing fine linen dresses, but she was the only one wearing a purple embroidered silk dress, which looked a little different.
Chuchen was startled and couldn't help but chuckled, "You are thinking too much. We all have silk clothes and they are all packed in boxes! Nowadays, frugality is advocated, so we all wear fine linen. You have just arrived, how can you immediately
Just do as the Romans do, don't worry, everything will be arranged."
The two walked into a courtyard, and Chuchen took her into the house again. He smiled at the back room and said, "Sister, she's here."
Xiao Yuexian's heart skipped a beat. The eldest sister was Princess Chu, Yang Yuanqing's first wife. Was she finally going to see her? She suddenly became nervous and her steps slowed down.
"Please come in!" A soft voice came from the room.
"Don't be afraid, come in!" Izuku smiled and took her hand and took her into the room.
The room was brightly lit and neatly tidied. There was a wooden couch in the front and several single couches on both sides. There were several maids standing around the room, all with pretty faces and smiles on their faces.
As expected, sitting next to her was a woman with outstanding temperament and beautiful appearance. Yuexian had seen her during the meal. It was the third lady Jiang Peihua. She was also smiling and nodded to her gently.
Sitting on the couch in front was a young woman with a pretty face and a high bun. There was only a jade hairpin in her black hair. Although she was also wearing a long linen skirt, the calm manner in which she moved her hands and feet made her stand out.
There was an air of grace that could not be concealed. Without guessing, Yuexian knew that this was Princess Pei.
She immediately knelt down on her knees and bowed respectfully, "Moon Immortal bows to the princess!"
Pei Minqiu was also sizing up the legendary Xiao Liang's most beautiful woman, and saw that she was tall yet plump, with delicate and fair skin, and a pair of deep pool-like eyes, shining like gems, but her beauty was also revealing.
With a kind of dignity, Pei Minqiu nodded. No wonder Peihua was full of praise for her beauty. It was indeed extraordinary.
"Please get up!"
Chuchen helped Xiao Yuexian up, and Pei Minqiu smiled slightly and said: "You should get used to it in the house!"
"Thank you for your concern, Princess. I can adapt."
Although Pei Minqiu had some objections to Yuexian's entry into the palace, she also knew in her heart that she had to admit this marriage. She was not a mean woman herself. Now that the person was here, she didn't want to embarrass Xiao Yuexian too much. Fortunately,
Everyone liked her, so Pei Minqiu decided to be a favor.
Pei Minqiu winked at Gui Chen, meaning, 'Let's get started!'
Chuchen understood, smiled slightly and said: "I am also from the south. I know there are some rules. They are the same in the south and the north. Today is your day to come in, so we will follow the rules."
After saying that, she took a tea bowl from the maid's hand and handed it to Xiao Yuexian. Xiao Yuexian's heart was pounding. She knew what the rules were. This was actually the most important moment. She took the tea bowl, stepped forward and knelt down.
Next, he raised the tea bowl high and offered it to Pei Minqiu.[
This is the royal way of a family. The male is the master of the house and the wife is the master of the house. A woman, no matter how much the man dotes on her, if she cannot pass the level of mistress, she will never be accepted by the family and will never be able to integrate into the family.
Serving tea is an implicit ceremony. It does not explicitly say, 'If you move out, this family will not accept you.'
Instead, use a subtle body language. For example, if the mistress does not accept the tea offered by the newcomer, the newcomer can only leave in tears. If he meets a man with some conscience, he will rent a house outside to support this poor woman.
But she can't have any status.
To this day, the word "status" is still extremely important. Isn't it just because of the word "status" that you will count the tragedies of abandoning the old and welcoming the new, and the breakdown of the family due to the intervention of a third party?
Pei Minqiu stared at her silently for a long time. She was also a woman, and she had the jealousy of a normal woman. She didn't want her husband to always bring women into the house, but there were some things she couldn't control. Who asked her to marry Yang Yuanqing.
Pei Minqiu sighed in her heart and finally accepted the tea from Xiao Yuexian. This was to tell her that I accept you. Xiao Yuexian's hand was light, and tears poured into her eyes. She choked and said: "Thank you, Princess!"
Pei Minqiu didn't drink tea. She put the tea bowl on the table, stepped forward to help her up, and said with a forced smile: "According to the rules, if I accept your tea, then we are a family, so I want to say a few words."
Tell you, I hope you can remember."
Xiao Yuexian nodded silently and stood aside. Pei Minqiu felt a hint of uneasiness in her heart and smiled: "Don't be nervous. I just want to remind you of a few small things. One is clothing. You should have noticed that no one in the palace wears
Silk dress, of course, it's your first day here, I won't blame you, I'll have someone send you some dresses later, if they don't fit, we'll make them again."
Xiao Yuexian had already noticed that her dress was too luxurious and incompatible with the frugal style of the palace. She nodded, "I understand."
Pei Minqiu smiled and said: "The second thing is Yuan Qing's inner study..."
...
After giving a few instructions, Chuchen took Xiao Yuexian back, and several maids also left. Only Pei Minqiu and Jiang Peihua were left in the room. Pei Minqiu took a sip of tea and asked lightly: "What do you think of her?
?”
Jiang Peihua pondered for a moment, then smiled and said: "I think she is very dignified, simple and showy, without a trace of coquettishness, which is very good."
Pei Minqiu also laughed softly, "This is also the reason why I accept her. If she is that kind of charming woman, shallow and hypocritical, to be honest, I will never accept her."
"Her temperament is very similar to that of our family, and she will quickly integrate into us. The children like her very much today, and it can be seen that she also likes this family very much."
At this time, Pei Minqiu suddenly remembered another thing and asked again: "Is Fangxin feeling better?"
Jiang Peihua shook her head and sighed: "She has a heart disease, and I'm afraid she needs heart medicine to cure her."
"But..." Pei Minqiu was also a little embarrassed, but she couldn't make the decision on this matter, it had to be decided by Yuan Qing.
Jiang Peihua bit her lips and said in a low voice: "Sister, I have to say something bluntly. With Fangxin's status, I'm afraid no one in the world dares to marry her. So what's the harm in keeping her in the palace in the future? Everyone knows it anyway.
, this Yang is not that Yang, and that little girl has a strong personality. If she is forced to marry someone else, something tragic may happen, and I am really worried."
Pei Minqiu pondered for a moment, then she sighed and said slowly: "Go and tell her that after she turns sixteen, if she still wants to be with Yuan Qing, then I will make it happen for her."
.......
Yang Fangxin will be fifteen years old in two months. It is the most youthful and splendid flower season. In this sunny spring, she should go on an outing, enjoy flowers and fish, and enjoy the wonderful time.[
But unfortunately she fell ill. In fact, everyone in the mansion knew the reason why she fell ill. It was because Yuan Qing married Xiao Yuexian again, which added to the worries of this passionate girl.
Yang Fangxin still lives with Jiang Peihua. Her room consists of three rooms. Her personal maid Yu'er sleeps in the outer room, and her bedroom is in the inner room. At this time, the room is dimly lit and full of the fragrance of medicine. Yang Fangxin lies down
On the hospital bed, a pair of big eyes stared blankly at the purple tent.
She knew that Xiao Yuexian entered the palace today, which made her heart full of sadness. She was sad for her own life experience. Her biological mother died of illness and her father died tragically. The Queen Mother only cared about her own happiness. Yang Shidao changed his mind and asked her to marry Huihe and become a Huihe.
But Dun, no one made the decision for her. As she thought about it, tears couldn't help but burst out of her eyes.
At this time, the voice of the maid Yu'er came from the outer room, "Reporting to the Third Madam, the girl is feeling better today and is not as feverish as yesterday."
This is the arrival of her second sister Jiang Peihua. Yang Fangxin quickly wiped the tears on her face with the corner of her quilt. There was a sound of ringing, and Jiang Peihua Shiran walked into the room. After giving birth to the child, her figure has recovered, perhaps because of her mood.
The reason is that she is even more beautiful than before.
"My dear, are you crying?" Jiang Peihua sat in front of her bed, held her hand and smiled.
"Who is crying? I didn't cry, and I'm not a little pathetic." Yang Fangxin turned around in anger and ignored Jiang Peihua.
Jiang Peihua smiled and said softly: "You know why things are more difficult for you, do you know the reason?"
"Of course I know, my surname is Yang and I am the princess of the old Sui Dynasty, but... aren't you also surnamed Yang and are you the princess of the great Sui Dynasty?"
Yang Fangxin turned around and looked at Jiang Peihua with a pair of big eyes aggrievedly, tears were about to flow out again, "In the worst case, I will also change my surname. My surname is also Xiao, is that okay?"
Jiang Peihua sighed. This matter really made her scratch her head. She didn't know how to persuade this sister. After a while, she had to say: "I have talked about you with the princess. The princess said that when you are sixteen years old, if
At that time, if you are still willing to follow Yuan Qing, then she will help you."
"Is it true?"
Yang Fangxin's big eyes suddenly sparkled, "Did she really say that?"
Jiang Peihua gave a wry smile, "She is the princess, and this is her promise to you, but the premise is that your illness will get better soon. You are really worrying!"
"My illness has been cured. In fact, I didn't want to lie down for a long time. I lay down for two days because of the soreness in my back."
Yang Fangxin sat up all of a sudden, like a flower blooming quietly, and shouted to the outer room with a smile: "Yu'er, bring me my purple dress."
