“Isn’t my concubine’s daughter too young?” Ying Bao asked.
Chunniang nodded: "She is indeed not young, she seems to be fourteen or fifteen years old."
She glanced at her daughter and said in a low voice: "It is said in the neighborhood that the concubine asked a boat lady to teach her daughter to play the pipa. Alas, I really don't know what to say. Don't let Wei Zhan follow you tomorrow."
Yingbao laughed: "Why is Wei Zhan involved again?"
Chunniang gave her daughter an angry look: "I don't believe you don't understand."
"I understand." Yingbao hugged Aniang's arm and smiled: "But Wei Zhan is not that kind of person."
"You can't say enough." Chun Niang said: "You must be careful about what you should be careful about. If a joke happens, the whole family will lose face."
"Know it."
The next day, Yingbao, her mother-in-law, her second uncle, and her aunt and sister-in-law went to Jiang Yun’s house.
Erni didn’t go because she had a big belly and couldn’t walk easily. She stayed at home to talk to her grandparents.
Willow Lane is not far away. The alley there is so narrow that carriages cannot enter at all.
So, Ying Bao and others walked into the alley surrounded by more than a dozen guards and palace attendants.
Families living in the alley came out to watch one after another, whispering curiously: "Which noble family is this, and why did he come to us?"
“Who knows.”
"Why don't you go and have a look..."
Everyone quietly followed the team and walked slowly toward a courtyard.
Ying Bao and others were all dressed in silk dresses, with jingling rings, and tied with a fine fox fur cloak or silk cloak.
The gold hairpins on their heads were swaying lightly, and Yan Ru and Qiu Rong had gold-embedded hoopoe inserted into their buns, making them look rich and beautiful.
At this moment, Yun Niang, her son and daughter-in-law were waiting at the entrance of the yard. They saw Ying Bao and the others from a distance and immediately came over to greet them.
"Bao'er." Yun Niang took Ying Bao's hand and called to her three younger siblings and her nephew and his wife: "Come in quickly."
Zhang Yuying and his wife saluted several aunts, then Ying Bao and Qiu Rong, and then led everyone into the yard.
The yard is quite large, with two entrances and about ten rooms in total.
As soon as Yingbao raised her eyes, she saw Zhang Yukun and his wife, Zhang Jia's concubine Jiao Niang and her daughter.
Zhang Yukun took a step forward and bowed to Yingbao and the others: "My nephew, please give my regards to my aunt."
He also saluted Yingbao and Qiu Rong: "Yingbao's cousin Wan'an, my brothers and sisters are well."
Qiu Rong returned the greeting, and Yingbao nodded at him: "My cousin is also well."
Zhang Yukun’s wife and children also came to say hello.
Mudan stepped forward and gave each of the children a bunch of money as lucky money.
Entering the main hall, Ying Bao sat on the main seat.
Chunniang sat on the left and right with her eldest sister-in-law Zhou, her second sister-in-law Yanru, and her niece-in-law Qiu Rong.
At this time, the concubine came in with her daughter and saluted Yingbao: "A commoner woman has seen the princess."
Jiaoniang is a smart person, so she naturally found out that the daughter of Jiang Sanlang's family is now a high-ranking princess.
Now the entire Qinchuan County belongs to her, and even the county magistrate must bow when he sees her, let alone the common people like them.
Moreover, Jiao Niang also found out that the princess’s husband also came to Qinchuan County and had a high status.
She secretly looked at Ying Bao, who was sitting calmly on the main seat, and murmured in her heart. "She won't come to settle accounts with her, right?"
Yingbao nodded, ignored her, and asked Jiang Yunniang: "Aunt, why don't you see Hongxiao?"
"She went back to her husband's house yesterday." Jiang Yunniang said, "Her husband's house is far away from here, so it's not convenient to go back and forth." Ying Bao nodded.
Aunt Jiang Yunniang sat down next to her and chatted with a few people.
Just as she was talking enthusiastically, the concubine suddenly pushed her daughter in front of Yingbao and said, "Princess, this is the daughter of a civilian woman and your cousin. She is fourteen years old and knows a few words. Why don't you let her I'll serve you."
ˆ Yingbao:.
"There are many people serving me, so I don't need your daughter." Ying Bao glanced at her lightly, then looked at the "cousin".
There is no doubt that this girl is indeed very beautiful, with a delicate look that makes me pity her.
But no matter how beautiful she is, I have no interest in her, let alone taking her into my side.
Jiao Niang was stunned. She didn't expect that the girl who had nodded to her would directly reject her now.
What else was she going to say? Yun Niang couldn't bear it anymore and said angrily: "My dear! Take your daughter back to the house."
Jiao Niang wanted to refute, but in the end she didn't dare and took her daughter back to the house unwillingly.
Walking to the house, I couldn’t bear to think about it.
They are also Zhang Jia’s children, and they are also his own children. Why is Xiaolang accepted by the Jiang family, but his daughter does not get any benefit from them?
no! She must never give up!
If a daughter can marry the princess or her husband, she will enjoy endless wealth and splendor in the future.
And Wangshu is so beautiful, I can’t believe that some people don’t covet her.
When Jiao Niang thought about the good days in the future, her heart became more and more passionate.
Had I known that the Jiang family was so good, I shouldn't have fallen out with them in the first place. If there had not been a falling out and Zhang Jia had not died, how could his daughter have been excluded by the Jiang family?
The more she thought about it, the more regretful she became. She held her daughter and looked at Shu for a while to explain.
Wangshu nodded shyly and said softly: "Mom, my daughter knows."
At noon, Yingbao and others had a meal at Jiang Yun's mother's house, and left the gifts they brought before leaving.
As soon as she walked to the door, she saw Jiao Niang's daughter kneeling on the ground, kowtowing to Ying Bao: "Princess, I am Xiaolang's sister and your aunt's daughter. I would like to follow the princess in this life until death." . I hope the princess will accept the slave, and the slave will do anything."
Jiang Yunniang was almost mad at this mother and daughter, and she wanted to step forward and kick them a few times.
“Wangshu! What on earth do you want to do?” she yelled angrily.
Mu Dan and several guards also stepped forward, preparing to drag the girl away.
Ying Bao waved her hands, lowered her head and asked the girl kneeling on the ground: "What can you do? Tell me."
The girl thought for a while and said, "I can play the pipa, and I can also dance the colorful feather dance."
“What else?” Yingbao asked.
The girl thought for a moment blankly and said, "Nu, Nu can also sing."
Ying Bao smiled and said, "Then you should go to Washe to find a job instead of coming to me." She didn't want to get used to a woman with ulterior motives, even if she was only a teenager.
Strangely, the girl did not feel insulted, but said seriously: "But mother said that we can only live a good life by going to your place, but we really can't go to Wase anymore."
For a while, everything was silent.
Jiang Yunniang was simply ashamed.
She turned around and rushed into the house, grabbed the girl's hair and dragged her out.
But Jiao Niang was young and looked thin, but she was very strong. Seeing that she was about to counterattack Jiang Yun Niang, Zhang Yuying's wife also rushed over, grabbed Jiao Niang's hair, and together with her mother-in-law, dragged her out of the yard.
"Get out! Take your daughter and get out of my house!" Yuying's wife was also furious.
If you live in the same house as this kind of thing that ruins your family, your whole family will be affected by them in the future, and the spitting stars in your neighbors will not drown you.
Zhang Yukun's wife saw her aunt being driven out of the yard and rushed out to stop her, but Yuying's wife was not afraid and started fighting with her.
While tearing and beating, he cursed: "Get out of here too! The name of the house registered here is my husband's, and it has nothing to do with my mother-in-law. I'm keeping you at home for the sake of our brothers. Since your family wants to go to Goulanwashe, Just go quickly!”
As he spoke, he shouted: "Yuying! Throw all their things out! Otherwise, I will make peace with you!"
