Gong You's wife, Jiang Shi, was in her early forties, a tall, plump, middle-aged woman with a charming charm. However, although the charm still exists, Jiang's age is much older than Gong You.
Gong You has no children, only three daughters, the eldest daughter and the second daughter have left the cabinet. Jiang's family lived in the Houya with Gong You's youngest daughter Gong Miao, and the mother and daughter took care of Mrs. Gong together.
Pang Xiao and Gong You discussed what to do next in the classroom.
Qin Yining brought rock candy and Jiyun into the Houya with Jiang's.
"The princess was exhausted by boat and car. It was really hard work. Later, the concubine ordered someone to prepare hot water for the princess to wash, and it would be easier."
Qin Yining shook his head with a smile, and said, "Mrs. Gong, don't be polite, now is the time of disaster, the water in the well that the earth dragon turns over must be turbid, and the water you can sit on should be kept for eating. ."
Jiang Shi was quite surprised to hear this.
She has never seen such a delicate and beautiful girl as Qin Yining in her life. She originally thought that she was born beautiful, and she would be arrogant when she was not out of the court. Now she is a princess, her arrogance will be doubled, and it must be more difficult to serve. Who knows that she is actually Judgment is wrong.
Qin Yining added: "I heard that the old lady is also in the Houya, and asked the lady to introduce me. I want to go and say hello to the old lady."
Jiang Shi was more and more surprised when he heard the words, "The princess has a distinguished status. It should be us who come to greet the princess with peace."
"What did Madam say, I'm young, I'm a junior, so naturally I want to greet my elders, do I still need an old man to greet me? Wouldn't that be a shame for me? Besides, Lord Gong sticks to the old capital, which both I and the prince admire very much. , the old lady who can teach such a loyal and worthy minister as Lord Gong has a lot to do with it, in public and private, I should be the one to ask the old lady to be safe."
Jiang shi listened to ironing and moved.
She was worried that the master, who was not easy to serve, was such a transparent person, which was a surprise to her.
"Since the princess said so, if I block it, it will appear to be alive."
"That's right. The prince and I will have to harass for a while in the future. If Mrs. Gong has always been so polite, then we will not be comfortable living here. The prince and Lord Gong fight side by side. They are both colleagues and friends. The two of them are People are so close, so naturally we shouldn't have a relationship."
"What the princess said is."
Jiang Shi smiled and said: "The little girl Miao'er is accompanying her grandmother at this time. If the princess doesn't dislike it, she will go with her concubine?"
"There is Mrs. Lao."
Jiang shi took Qin Yining around a corner and walked towards the main room of the back ya across the courtyard.
As he walked, he introduced: "This is it. On weekdays, I live in the wing room with adults, and my mother-in-law lives in the main room. My mother-in-law comes from a family of farming and education. She is very reasonable and treats me like her own daughter. , I didn't live up to my expectations. I only gave birth to three daughters. My mother-in-law did not force the adult to take a concubine because she wanted grandchildren. After giving birth when I was young, I was blessed. It was very ugly. I gave away two thin horses, but the adults sold them, saying that the family was poor and could not support the extra people."
Speaking of this, Jiang Shi suddenly came to his senses. Although she was talking about the family to be close to her cousin, she didn't know if Prince Zhongshun had a side room. If Prince Zhongshun has a bunch of concubines, but she shows off in front of the princess how loyal her husband is and how good her husband's family is, wouldn't she slap the princess in the face
Jiang shi secretly hated that he was speaking too straight, and that the problem of speaking without concern has not been corrected for many years.
Unexpectedly, Qin Yining smiled and said at this time: "Sure enough, people are gathered together by similar things, no wonder the prince and Lord Gong have a good relationship. My mother-in-law and great mother-in-law also treat me as their own daughters. The prince is even more reluctant to touch the flowers. , but my great mother-in-law is very powerful, if the lord really does that, maybe my great mother-in-law can beat him."
"Really? What about such a powerful old man?"
"Yes."
The two smiled at each other.
Jiang's heart was relieved a lot, and his senses towards Pang Xiao and Qin Yining were a little better, because Jiang felt that people who could be filial to the elderly would not be too bad. Although Prince Zhongshun has a fierce reputation, how can he believe all the rumors outside
When the two reached the stairs, Jiang Shi took Qin Yining into the house, "Mother, Princess Zhongshun is here."
Qin Yining followed closely, looking at the used tables, chairs and simple furnishings in the house, and he knew a little more about Gong You's incorruptibility.
On the couch near the window in the house, an old woman with gray hair in her seventies was putting her shoes on the ground, and a little girl who looked about ten years old was serving the old lady to put on shoes.
Mrs. Gong's hair was simply fixed with a silver comb, and she was wearing a long azure fine cotton dress. She was dressed in a simple manner, even worse than that of some wealthy servants in the capital.
But on her thin face, she had a loving smile on her face. At first glance, it made people think that this old lady must be a kind-hearted and kind-hearted old man.
Qin Yining did not wait for the old man to salute before salute: "I have seen Mrs. Gong."
"Oh, hurry up, hurry up. How can this be made. How can the old man bear the courtesy of the princess."
"The old lady is too polite. You are an elder. As a junior who is harassing an elder, you should be salute."
"Please get up, the third daughter-in-law, get up quickly."
"Ah!" Jiang shi held Qin Yining's arm to get her up, then turned to help her mother-in-law to sit down, and said with a smile, "Mother, Wang Fei is not that kind of person, you can rest assured."
Mrs. Gong looked at Qin Yining with a smile, and praised the girl in her heart, but then she thought again, if she was not shrewd, how could she be a princess
Because Qin Yining's age happened to be the age of Mrs. Gong's granddaughter, Qin Yining was courteous and polite, not putting on airs, and she was patient with the old man and knew how to make the old man feel at ease, so after chatting for a while, Mrs. Gong was right. Qin Yining became extraordinarily close.
Mrs. Gong introduced the girl beside her to Qin Yining: "This is my little granddaughter Miao'er."
Gong Miao was very thin, and when he looked at people, his eyes were timid and a little scared, but he still gave a curious and friendly smile, and saluted "Princess."
Qin Yining put a suet jade bracelet on Gong Miao's wrist, "It's not a good thing, Miao'er will play with it."
During this period of time living in the government office, I had to harass the host's house, and I had to give Gong Miao a gift to meet her.
Both Mrs. Gong and Mrs. Jiang repeatedly refused, but in the end, under Qin Yining's kind words to appease them, they were still very kind.
"princess."
At this moment, the voice of Ji Yun came from outside the door.
Qin Yining smiled and said, "What's the matter?"
"The lord invites the princess to come to the front to talk."
"Understood." Qin Yining got up and said goodbye, "I'll go first, and then I'll bother you when I have time."
Mrs. Gong and Mrs. Jiang were even more impressed with Qin Yining now, because the prince could allow the female class to participate in such a serious business, so either she was too fond of her, or she had extraordinary talents and could be reused by the prince.
