The Rebirth of Han Yuxi - Chapter 1792

[Chapter 1792 Jiaojiao Fanwai (Part 2)]

Chen Xiangxue was having a banquet, and her expression changed slightly when she heard the maid coming back and saying that Yaocen County Master was coming. She thought that Jiaojiao would not come after taking the invitation. But soon, she recovered as before, and she couldn’t find it without paying special attention.

Jiaojiao was a distinguished guest, and Chen Xiangxue went out to greet her in person. Today, Jiaojiao is wearing a big red Yunjin palace dress, a high bun, and a full set of ruby and emerald jewelry.

Seeing Jiaojiao walking slowly, Chen Xiangxue paused, then stepped forward with a smile on her face.

Today, Chen Xiangxue is wearing a long dress of brocade and brocade sprinkled with gold and woven with gold, and has a peony bun with red gold drawn silk phoenixes inserted into the mouth and holding four phoenix hairpins with bright jewels. This dress was originally very gorgeous. But now, Jiaojiao is holding her down abruptly.

Walking in front of Jiaojiao, Chen Xiangxue said with a smile, “The fact that the county master can come will really make our Xu residence flourish.”

Jiaojiao is also a good hand in interpersonal communication, she said with a smile, “Sister Xiangxue, I haven’t seen you for so many years and you still speak like this.”

I don’t know, looking at the two of them talking and laughing side by side, I thought how close they are!

Chen Xiangxue and Jiaojiao said: “County Lord, my mother-in-law said that she wanted to pay tribute to your demeanor, so I sent you a post.”

The post for Jiaojiao was brought up by Mrs. Xu. Chen Xiangxue didn’t want to have extracurricular branches, but Mrs. Xu insisted. Even for this, I also talked to Xu Wenchang.

Xu Wenchang felt that this was just a trivial matter, and he agreed not to make the old lady unhappy when the birthday banquet was imminent. When the family agrees, what else can Chen Xiangxue do, except to post.

Jiaojiao said with a smile, “Everyone in the capital knows that the old lady is good at teaching her son. I have long wanted to meet the old man, and maybe I can still touch her light!”

This Ming Dynasty is good at teaching children, who else can surpass the empress dowager. Chen Xiangxue knew what Jiaojiao said, and they were all polite words.

Jiaojiao was the second-grade princess who was conferred by the emperor, and no one was higher than Old Madam Xu and the guests present. So when Jiaojiao entered the main hall, everyone except Mrs. Xu stood up.

Jiaojiao entered the room and looked at the person sitting above. I saw the old lady wearing a royal blue five-blessing shroud and a dark red six-piece skirt. Her hair was neatly combed, her body was surrounded by green beads, she was very rich, and she looked kind and kind.

After being reminded by the maid next to her, Mrs. Xu stood up.

Jiaojiao stepped forward and gave Old Madam Xu a junior salute: “Yao Cen wishes the old lady here, a blessing like Donghai’s birthday is like Nanshan.” The birthday ceremony was handed over to the person who received the gift when entering the door.

Madam Xu was stunned and asked incredulously, “You are the Princess Yaocen?”

The face is congealed with goose fat, the lips are like cherry blossoms, the eyebrows are like mountains in the distance, and the spirit is like autumn water. This beautiful young woman turned out to be the Princess Yaocen who rejected her son.

After arriving in the capital that year, when she heard that someone had rejected his son’s proposal, Mrs. Xu felt sullen for a while. In her mind, her son is worthy of being a princess, but she was rejected by a princess. In fact, at that time, Mrs. Xu wanted to meet Jiaojiao. Look at what this woman who dared to reject her son looks like. Unfortunately, it has never been possible.

Jiaojiao nodded slightly: “Well, I’m Yaocen.”

Mrs. Xu couldn’t help but ask: “The county owner seems to be in 30 or 2 this year, right?”

Jiaojiao’s brows trembled, the old lady was really direct: “Yes, just passed her thirty-second birthday a few days ago.”

“It’s really young, and it doesn’t look much older than my family’s Pengpeng.” Pengpeng, the eldest daughter of Chen Xiangxuesheng.

This name was taken by Xu Wenchang, and it was taken from “Wang Feng? Zai Chi”: “I do my wild things, and I am a fan of my wheat.”. Chen Xiangxue did not like this name. But Xu Wenchang has the final say in the family, and if you don’t like it, you have to accept it.

Jiaojiao smiled and didn’t answer.

But Mrs. Xu continued: “Everything else is good, but it’s too thin. It’s better to eat more, fatter looks better.”

Chen Xiangxue interrupted: “County Master, please take a seat.” The seat for Jiaojiao was the first on the left.

Jiaojiao doesn’t like others to judge her, but she won’t show her face when she is a guest now. Seeing that Chen Xiangxue changed the subject, she walked over and sat down with a smile.

But Mrs. Xu looked at Jiaojiao and asked, “What material are your clothes made of? They are so bright.” She had never seen such a bright and beautiful dress in her life.

Jiaojiao said indifferently, “Yun Jin.”

When old lady Xu heard this, she was surprised: “Yunjin? Is it a rare material that is rumored to be gold?”

Yun Jin was seen by many people present, but few people wore clothes made by Yun Jin. However, the Chen family has a deep heritage, and the clothes that Chen Xiangxue and Jianshi wore were made by Yunjin. Only later married Xu Wenchang and never wore this dress again.

Jiaojiao smiled and nodded lightly, “Yes!”

“Don’t blame your clothes for being so beautiful!” Just such a dress would cost hundreds of thousands of years of silver, which is too extravagant. Thinking of this, Mrs. Xu was glad that Xu Wenchang didn’t marry Jiaojiao. If not, how can you afford it.

The expression on Mrs. Xu’s face was so obvious that those present couldn’t see it.

Jiaojiao picked up the tea, took a sip, and put it down. This tea is really not an ordinary unpleasant drink.

In fact, it’s not that their tea is bad, it’s that Jiaojiao’s mouth is too cunning. Instead of deciding on a good tea, she would rather drink plain water.

Madam Xu saw Jiaojiao’s hands, her eyes straightened: “Your hands are really white.”

Jiaojiao’s pair of jade hands are delicate, white, tender and smooth. The nails are not painted with all kinds of powder pigments like the ladies and daughters of Kyoto nowadays, it is a very natural pink. Just by looking at these hands, you can tell that her master is someone who has never done anything.

“The old lady has won the prize.”

Chen Xiangxue didn’t want old lady Xu to continue talking, and changed the topic with a smile: “I heard that the county owner likes to grow flowers, and the cymbidium in our garden happened to bloom. I wonder if the county owner is interested in going to see it?”

“Of course I’m interested. Just to see if I raised the Cymbidium or you raised it better. If yours is good, I can learn from you.” Xiangxue is also a smart person, and Jiaojiao doesn’t want to be evil with her.

Chen Xiangxue is going to take Jiaojiao to the garden to enjoy flowers.

Mrs. Xu was very dissatisfied and didn’t know what the daughter-in-law meant here. She just said a few words to the Yaocen County Master, and hurriedly pulled the person away. It was not obvious that she had to fight against herself: “The sun is so big outside, so let’s get more sunshine. To see the flowers, let the servants take them out. Just move in and see.”

Old Mrs. Xu was not used to Chen Xiangxue raising those flowers and plants. The land in this garden can be used to grow vegetables, so there is no need to spend money on it. But the daughter-in-law didn’t listen to her words at all. Those flowers and plants that are planted cannot be eaten or worn, and special personnel must be sent to take care of them. Every time she thinks of this, Mrs. Xu feels that Chen Xiangxue will not be able to live, she is too prodigal. For this matter, Mrs. Xu talked with Xu Wenchang for a long time. It’s a pity that Xu Wenchang didn’t support her idea, and said it was an elegant affair, so Mrs. Xu gave up.

Chen Xiangxue has a headache for the old lady Xu’s lack of wink, but she will not disobey the old lady’s wishes in front of so many guests: “County Lord, what do you think?”

Jiaojiao sat back on the chair and said with a smile, “The old lady loves me so much, so I will move the flowers in and let everyone watch it together.”

The two pots of Cymbidium were quickly moved to the living room. Jiaojiao felt that the flowers were kept the same, but she still praised them like everyone else.

At this time, an older woman praised the old lady for having two good sons who were capable and filial.

In Xu Wenchang’s sixth year of being the champion, Xu Wendong also passed the jinshi examination. Although it can’t be compared with Xu Wenchang, it proves to be very powerful if he can pass the test.

Mrs. Xu is most proud of having two capable sons, Xu Wenchang and Xu Wendong, so no matter how many times he hears this, he will never get tired of it.

But it was this woman’s words that reminded Mrs. Xu. She looked at Jiaojiao and said, “I don’t know how many children the princess has?” In fact, she was asking knowingly.

“Two children, one son and one daughter.” It wasn’t that Jiaojiao didn’t want to give birth, but that she was no longer pregnant after giving birth to her son. There are five males in Du Zhaozhang’s generation, and his own elder brother has six sons. Therefore, their Du family does not lack sons. Jiaojiao only gave birth to one son and one daughter, and she didn’t have any more, and Du’s elders didn’t care.

When Mrs. Xu heard this, she said, “One son is too few, at least two.” Apart from Chen Xiangxuesheng’s two sons and one daughter, Xu Wenchang also had three concubines and two concubine daughters. The number of concubines will surely increase.

At this time, a woman with a weakened face praised the situation: “It is still the old lady who is blessed with a daughter and two sons. There is no one in the capital that can compare with you.”

These people want to compliment Old Madam Xu, but Jiaojiao doesn’t care. But if you want to step on her, there is no door.

Jiaojiao smiled lightly: “My husband’s family likes the husband’s love, and there is no concubine in the family. When you are old, you have a wife to accompany you, and your children and grandchildren are filial and considerate. This is the real blessing.”

It’s true that Mrs. Xu’s son is filial, but she was a widow when she was young. According to Jiaojiao’s statement, not only is she not blessed, but her life is miserable.

When the thin-faced woman heard this, she said in a shrill voice, “I don’t agree with what the county lord said. It is the duty of a wife and a daughter-in-law to spread branches and leaves for her husband’s family.”

The smile on Jiaojiao’s face disappeared, and she looked at the woman and said lightly, “I didn’t say this, it was my grandmother.”

The woman got stuck at once. Who doesn’t know that the filial piety of today’s sage will not allow outsiders to say anything about the queen mother. If what she said today reaches the emperor’s ears, it will definitely implicate her husband.

Old Madam Xu was in a very good mood, but Jiaojiao’s remarks made her feel extremely bad in an instant. But this is what the Queen Mother said, and she can’t refute it. No matter how ignorant the old lady Xu was, she would not dare to say that the Queen Mother’s words were wrong.

Jiaojiao didn’t seem to know how much shock her words caused. At the moment, Mrs. Yu Xu told Chen Xiangxue that her head was a little groggy and she needed to go home.

Mrs. Xu is eager to leave Jiaojiao now, so as to save Jiaojiao from saying something that bothers her: “Since the princess is not feeling well, then you hurry back.”

However, Chen Xiangxue stepped forward and asked with concern: “Where is the county lord uncomfortable? Do you want to go to the wing to rest first, I will send someone to ask the doctor to come and show you first, and then go back after making sure there is nothing wrong.”

Although she knew that Jiaojiao’s discomfort was just an excuse, she, the master, had to show due care and worry. Instead of being like Mrs. Xu, she wished that people would leave quickly. Let other guests see what they think.

Jiaojiao didn’t feel bad about Chen Xiangxue, on the contrary, she felt that it was not easy: “It’s okay, just take a rest.”

Chen Xiangxue sent Jiaojiao out of Xu’s house, and when she arrived at the gate, she said apologetically: “My mother-in-law is very kind, but her temperament is a little bit straight to think of what to say, and please don’t take her words to heart. “In the beginning, Chen Xiangxue was often maddened to death by Madam Xu. It took a long time to see it.

“How can I care about the old man.” I believe that with today’s incident, it is estimated that the Xu family will not invite her again in the future.

Jiaojiao’s carriage quickly disappeared from Chen Xiangxue’s sight. But Chen Xiangxue still looked into the distance. Back then, she actually wondered why Xu Wenchang, who was so good, refused to marry Princess Shu Chang and Jiao Jiao. But now, she understands.

The maid asked, “Madam, what’s the matter?”

“I think Yaocen County Lord is very lucky.” After Du Zhaozhang married Yaocen County Lord, he spoiled her like a baby. Over the years, there were no other women by his side, so he was guarding Yaocen County Lord alone. But just by looking at the appearance of Princess Yaocen, you can see how happy she is.

The maid said: “Madam, you are very lucky too. Who are the aunts in the family who don’t envy you, Madam.” Chen Xiangxue’s sisters, only she married the best. And Xu Wenchang also respected her very much. Although there are two concubines, these two concubines are as honest as quails.

Her husband has a great future and trusts her, and he will never interfere in the affairs of the inner house. Although my mother-in-law sometimes speaks unpleasantly, she is not a vicious person, and she will not deliberately rub people, just coax and hold her. Compared to her sisters at home, she is doing well indeed.

Thinking of this, Chen Xiangxue said: “People need to be content.” This is the case, but there is still some uneasy feeling in his heart. Which woman doesn’t want to be one person for the rest of her life.

In the evening, Mrs. Xu and Xu Wenchang said, “It’s fortunate that you didn’t marry that Yaocen County Master, otherwise I would have to live 20 years less.” Who didn’t know that she was a widow when she was young, but she said something old in front of her. It is a blessing to have a wife to accompany her, which doesn’t slap her in the face.

At this time, Mrs. Xu completely forgot that it wasn’t that his son didn’t marry, it was that people didn’t look down on his son.

After all these years, Xu Wenchang had long since become overwhelmed with anger and anger, and said with a smile: “Mother, how many years old Huang Li still mentions this. Mother, I’m leaving tomorrow. When the weather gets cooler, I’ll send someone to pick you up.” It was also because he knew that today was the 60th birthday of Mrs. Xu, so the emperor specially granted permission to wait for Mrs. Xu to pass her birthday before taking office.

Mrs. Xu’s attention quickly shifted.

But after this day, Mrs. Xu was much kinder to Chen Xiangxue. For Chen Xiangxue, this was also an unexpected surprise.

At the same time, Jiaojiao also said to Du Zhaozhang, “The old lady is really like what my grandmother said that day. Either she is a villain or she speaks too badly.” Such people are actually easy to deal with. I am afraid of the kind of person who is amiable on the face, but hurts in the back. Therefore, Jiaojiao didn’t feel bad about Mrs. Xu. Of course, she didn’t like it either.

Du Zhaozhang said: “If she speaks unpleasantly, you should choke it back. You can’t rely on her age and let her respond to others.” His future is not worse than Xu Wenchang. And since the two are not in the same camp, Jiaojiao is not afraid of offending her.

Jiaojiao kissed Du Zhaozhang and said cheerfully, “Husband, you are so kind.” Fortunately, she acted very principled, otherwise she would have been spoiled by Du Zhaozhang.

Du Zhaozhang was kissed in a different way, and soon, a red-faced voice could be heard from inside the house.

ps: I was too lazy to open an umbrella when I saw the light rain yesterday, and the result was a splitting headache in the middle of the night. I slept for a day today, and my head still hurts. So only one update today, sorry.
