"Don't think about it, keep your part!" Mama Wang knew very well what the little maid meant, and immediately gave a stern warning.
"That's what Madame said when she put on the incense...... Ah......h
"If you don't want to be sent back to the Inner Court Huanyi Bureau, you must not mention this kind of thing again in the future, otherwise Madame will not be able to save you, but you can hear it clearly!"
"......" The little girl's face was still pinched, her tears were about to hurt, and she nodded busily.
"Mama's hands are getting heavier and heavier, I don't pay attention to you, the slave family went to the kitchen to order the preparation of hot water...... but as soon as the hand on her face was released, the little girl was alive again, and she ran away, venting her dissatisfaction while running.
"It's not that the old woman is ruthless, it's the big man who has a strange illness...... The official family is much more ruthless than the old woman, thinking about how majestic the prince is, he will be degraded if he says that he will be degraded. ”
The little girl's complaint attracted Mama Wang's melancholy, she had brought up the princess since she was a child, and her feelings were no worse than her mother's, of course, she hoped that the princess would have a good home.
No matter how bumpy it was before, it seems that there is hope now. But she was born in the palace and has seen too many joys and sorrows and cruel political struggles, and she didn't really take Wang Xu's temporary peace as a good thing.
In recent years, the situation in the court has also changed dramatically, and many of the people who are good friends with Wang Shu are opponents of the new policy, and the result is either degraded like Su Shi, or shrunk his head as a turtle like Li Gonglin. If it weren't for the horse suddenly falling and getting crazy, the ending would not be much stronger than Su Shi.
But pretending to be crazy and stupid can hide from the emperor and even the princess, but he can't hide from her, the old eyes that have read countless people. Living together every day, whether you are sick or not does not need to look at the external performance, you can feel it.
As for why the pony suddenly pretended to look so similar, she didn't have a good explanation. Whether it's crazy or crazy, anyway, this account hasn't been completely hidden, and if you want to be safe, you have to look at your future performance.
Hong Tao doesn't care about what others think of him at all, it's really not that he is broad-minded, nor is he Zhizhu in his hands, but stupid and bold. To put it bluntly, whether it is Mama Wang's worries or the emperor's suspicions, he can't think of it.
Why can't you think of it? Because he can be said to be innocent of the current historical process, not the one who knows it, but the one who forgets it.
Song Shenzong's temple name Hong Tao knew, but he only knew what happened during the reign of this emperor, and his eyes were black.
If you want to say that this time you have crossed into a waste colt is not all bad luck, if you really want him to become the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty or something, it is estimated that he will not be able to mix it up for a day, and he will be recognized every minute.
In addition, he is surrounded by housewives and small grooms, and there is no one who understands the general trend of the court or the country to remind him that he doesn't know what Wang Anshi's failure to change the law and the seizure of power by conservatives or anything like that.
The ancients are not clouds, and the ignorant are fearless. The current horse master is both ignorant and fearless, all day long he only knows how to coax his wives and concubines to play ball, tinker with some good things to eat, and play with villains from room to room when he is idle, and the pig-like life is quite happy.
But people's desires are endless, in the blink of an eye, the time has entered July, and it has been more than a month in the Northern Song Dynasty, Hong Tao began to be dissatisfied with the life of his wife, concubine, hot kang head, and badminton, and began to want to go around the city.
He plans to see if the legendary Bianliang Castle in Tokyo, which is just a canvas, is as prosperous as the book says. Lin'an has seen it with his own eyes, it's really good, it is said that Lin'an City is just a small Bianliang, is it really that magical?
"Da Lang is going...... Shopping! When the princess heard the peculiar word "horse", she immediately knew what it meant, and then her little face, which was already a little ruddy, turned pale again, and her eyes were thick with despair.
The meaning is very clear, she thinks that her husband's old problem has been committed again, and there are only more than a month of good life, isn't it a little too short!
"It's not that Da Lang is going, but Da Lang and the lady are going together! It seems that the lady is not very willing, so I don't go out at all, so I will accompany the lady to continue to make a villain! ”
Hong Tao understood the princess's expression and didn't care. The unlucky thing in the past dug the pit too deep, and it will definitely not be able to fill it for a while, and if you want the people around you to fully believe in yourself, you have to slowly change it, and you can't be in a hurry.
"Phew! Lian'er is still there, don't talk nonsense...... "Even if the princess has been taken by her husband, but only when the two of them are in private, there are outsiders, even if it is a personal maid, she is still not used to this kind of too frivolous joke."
"Lian'er, do you want to go shopping?" Since the princess is not at ease with herself, Hong Tao plans to pull another cushion.
"The slave family listens to the ...... of the lady" Where is there a little girl who doesn't like to go shopping, Lian'er clearly wrote three words on her face, but she put the responsibility on the princess.
"Let the groom prepare the horses...... ......"When the princess looks at it, she has to be a bad person." It's not all bad for the husband to want to go shopping, and he can't be locked up in the house forever. Since I was going with myself and the maid, there should be no problem.
The princess didn't have any pomp and circumstance, which made Hong Tao very incomprehensible. Her emperor's brother likes this sister so much, why doesn't he want to equip the Horse Mansion with a few forbidden army bodyguards, so that after going out, he can be more or less a little bit of a fox.
"Did the groom ride a horse against the laws of the court?" There were only four people in total, the husband and wife, a maid and a groom, and they couldn't all ride horses, but three people rode and walked alone.
When Wang Shu saw it, he had to pretend to be crazy and stupid. It's not that I'm afraid that the groom will be tired, but this kind of combination can't go fast, and when will it take to go around?
"There will be gossip...... "The princess knew what her husband wanted to do, and she didn't say it or she couldn't say it."
"The lady's husband is crazy, do you still care about these gossip? Dalang, find a horse to ride on, and lead the way in front of the head! "You can let the princess be in charge of the house in the house, and you should make your own decisions when you go out. There must be a limit to being good to women, and you can't listen to everything, which Hong Tao understands very well.
Da Lang is the horseman who gave Hong Tao the most information about Bianliang City, his ancestors are all locals, and his family also lives in Bianliang City, so it must be no problem to be a guide.
What puzzled Wang Xue was that the little maid Lian'er obviously grew up in the palace since she was a child, but she was very familiar with the city, and it was often before the groom opened her mouth that she first said where it was in front of her, whether it was time to go left or right, could it be that the palace maid could still run around at ordinary times?
The princess gave an authoritative answer to this question, it is true that Lian'er is a palace maid, but she is not in the harem, she is just a student of a palace maid training class under the palace province. Before she graduated, she was selected by Mama Wang to go to the princess's side, replacing the personal maid who had reached the age of marriage.
And palace maids like Lian'er are not born to be palace maids, most of them are orphans or abandoned babies, raised by the Salesian Bureau, and they are only selected to be palace maids after they are four or five years old, which can be regarded as giving these orphans a relatively stable job.
Because except for a small number of palace maids in the Song Dynasty, most of them had to leave the palace to marry and start a family when they reached a certain age. Therefore, being a palace maid in the Song Dynasty is not as miserable as the Ming and Qing dynasties, most of them can only be regarded as contract workers, and when they reach the age, they will be assigned to the generals in the army by the royal family.
As for what the Salesian Bureau is, Hong Tao knows a little bit about it. This kind of institution existed in Lin'an, Quanzhou, Mingzhou and other places in the Southern Song Dynasty, but the names were different.
There are those who are called the Salesian Farm and the Nursery for the Child's Rice House, and there are those who are called the Salesian Farm. But the function is much the same, and what they do is one thing, the government pays for the adoption of orphans and abandoned babies, especially girls.
In the Song Dynasty, many less wealthy families still had the custom of drowning female babies, and the Song Dynasty government felt that this behavior was inhumane, but it could not control it, so it had to get such a government agency and issue a decree to adopt these children. Although it is not enough to completely eradicate the bad habit of baby drowning, it is better than nothing.
However, Hong Tao is not very clear about how the Salesian Bureau operates, he only knows that there were such government offices in many Song Dynasty cities, and the money and food spent should be counted in the government budget.
"The concubine doesn't know...... It is determined that the official family pays for the food...... "The princess also knows very little about this issue, but her position is very firm, and she directly piles up the credit on her brother's head, which is really a family that does not speak two words.
