"Stop!"

As the housekeeper woman Lamei greeted, a long carriage wrapped in silk of various colors and decorated with strings of goose yellow tassels slowly stopped, and more than 40 servant women and maids accompanying her on both sides became busy.

Geng walked briskly from the carriage in front of Zuihou, and dared to gasp. At this moment, the curtain was raised, Wang Xuanqing stepped on the bench and got out of the car, took out the hand on the maid's arm, took Geng and the others to the car in front of him, and said respectfully: "Please princess county lords." ”

"This is where Xu Hao lives?" Princess Anqing, who got out of the first carriage, asked casually, looking around with some curiosity.

Wang Xuanqing explained to the newly promoted widow princess in plain clothes: "This is the former residence of my Xu family, and I have only moved to the capital in recent years

According to this, there are also Princess Fuqing and Princess Nankang, zuihou walked down from the carriage in the middle of the seventeen-year-old girl, not very old but very graceful and solemn, bright eyes and bright teeth, wearing a splendid palace dress similar to the style of the three princesses, is the Jiangdu county lord who married two years ago, the eldest daughter of the deceased prince Zhu Biao, and the half-sister of the imperial grandson Zhu Yunwen.

Wang Xuanqing, Geng and other women all secretly praised in their hearts, when it comes to this extraordinary super-easy bearing, only Xu Hao and his wife can compare with it in the family.

The county lord of Jiangdu looked at the rolling green hills in the distance, and praised lightly: "What a pure place with beautiful mountains and rivers." ”

The pearl and other women who hurried out in front of the inner house were panicked, and it was too late to send someone to inform the young master and the two grandmothers to come out to greet them.

Princess Anqing was the eldest, and said to Pearl: "My sisters are all uninvited guests, and they are all relatives, so there is no need to alarm your master." ”

Pearl looked at the second grandmother with a pleading gaze, and Wang Xuanqing said when she saw this: "There is no need to report it, what are you afraid of with me." ”

Princess Fuqing asked unceremoniously, "Could it be that you have something unsightly at home?" All dodge. ”

The helpless Pearl hurriedly shook her head and moved aside to get out of the way, but she was not convinced, and after the second grandmother accompanied the princesses away, she said angrily: "Don't go in any of us." Let them go into the garden by themselves to see what is going on with our Xu family. ”

A daughter-in-law who had just married for a long time said: "I'm lucky today, I saw three princesses and a county lord at once, in the end, they are members of the royal family, this style didn't say, but is it to see the eldest grandmother or the third grandmother?" ”

Zhiyan's sister-in-law said disdainfully: "The two grandmothers are county lords, so they naturally know each other, what is this?" In the early years, when my wife was on her birthday, she came to seventeen or eighteen princesses again. ”

Pearl said disapprovingly: "So what? In the past few years, every year when the ancestor celebrates his birthday, which palace has not sent a gift? Even the saint sent a congratulatory gift, I don't believe you are waiting for you to go to Senjudo to see it. The sacred royal pen and ink treasure was hung on the hall. ”

Zhiyan's sister-in-law smiled: "Don't I know our third master's ability? Last year, I wanted to create a palace-style gold-inlaid hosta, so I begged my sister, Zhiyan said to the third master when he was free, who knew that the third master turned around and gave me a complete set of jewelry used by Zhang Niangniang in the palace, so happy that I really don't know how to thank him. ”

As soon as these words came out, the conversation suddenly opened, these women all have decent status, everyone has a sister to be a maid in the garden, Xu Hao has always treated his own people well, as long as it is not too much, it can be said that he responds to requests. Who hasn't received a benefit? When they said it one by one, one by one the daughters-in-law talked about their own proud things, and they laughed and smiled.

said that Wang Xuanqing guided all the way, and the group walked slowly and straight to the garden. Along the way, I didn't see anyone rushing to tell each other.

Seeing that the Xu family was peaceful everywhere, and it was indeed the atmosphere of the Guogong Mansion, Princess Anqing deliberately said: "Sure enough, I didn't alarm anyone, I don't know what Xu Hao is doing." I heard that he is the only man in this inner house, and the famous beauties in the capital of the Xu family are like clouds, so I don't believe that he will be indifferent? ”

The county lord of Jiangdu smiled: "He is not a colt. Even if he shows mercy everywhere, it's nothing, who can hinder him? ”

Wang Xuanqing breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, she didn't know why the princess had to come to visit Xu Hao and his wife, now it seems that there is no malice, too, even if the status is noble, what can she do?

At the same time, even if Wang Xuanqing knows that Xu Hao's reputation for men and women is good, he is afraid that he will lose the restraint of his elders and start to become unscrupulous after becoming a parent.

Princess Nankang, who walked behind, was honest and responsible, to put it bluntly, she was a little cowardly, and her husband Hu Hai raised a woman at home, and she didn't dare to care, unlike Princess Ningguo, who was arrogant since she was a child, even if Ouyang Lun, who gave death, ran to the Qinhuai River to eat flowers and wine even if she had nothing to do, she would never dare to touch any woman at home.

Princess Nankang is a member of Princess Anqing's small circle, and she was brought in to join in the fun today. It's ridiculous that Princess Anqing didn't know that her husband died directly or indirectly at the hands of the Xu brothers, and still thought that Xu Ji was her husband's friend before his death, but Princess Anqing was not as angry and sad as Princess Fuqing about her husband's death, probably because of Ouyang Lun's heart.

Da Ming Law can't control the princess's private life, and the princess who has become a widow wants a man to hide as long as she does it, and doesn't casually seduce a married man, who will be nosy? However, due to the influence of Zhu Yuanzhang and his wife, none of the princesses of this generation remarried, which can be regarded as indirectly affecting the folk atmosphere, making it more and more conservative, and the secular society attaches more and more importance to the so-called chastity.

Princess Fuqing has very complicated feelings about Xu Hao, there is hatred, some gratitude, and some ambiguity, Xu Hao helped her keep the secret that day and also took the opportunity to eat her tofu, and the entanglement between Xu Hao and Xu Hao is like a mess, but later Xu Hao was not moved in the face of the princess at his fingertips, but he also admired his character.

Because his father is getting old, even if he is a princess, he has to quickly find a future backer, and no one is exempt from vulgarity in this regard, and no one wants to be deserted and become a marginal person.

The most important thing is the heart of comparison, there are so many royal relatives and sisters, they can't stand her being decent and flattered, in addition to this, the widow's only hope is her son.

It was when the county lord of Jiangdu, who was the sister of the crown prince, came to the door, and the three princesses who were elders happily accompanied her to the capital Xu Mansion, this year Wang Xuanqing went to the royal family to deal with weddings, funerals, etc., and the princess county lords have met a few times, and after hearing that the county lord came to visit Zhu Qiaoqiao and Mu Ningxue, he naturally had to accompany him.

And the county lord of Jiangdu is the meaning of the second brother Zhu Yunwen. specially came to listen to the truth and the word, because Xu Hao is too low-key, except to go to the palace is to stay at home, in this critical period of the replacement of the old and the new, Zhu Yunwen is very worried about Xu Hao, Xu Hao is now insignificant, the question is whether he is the henchman of the emperor's grandfather, and it is necessary to show favor or warn him appropriately.

Zhu Yunwen knew that there was some disagreement between the brothers of the Xu family, so he asked his sister to come forward, and the correspondence between the female dependents could appear sincere. With Xu Hao's shrewdness, it is not difficult to understand.

Enjoying the scenery in the garden, Fuqing walked and asked, "Why is there no one?" Could it be that such a large garden is inhabited by Xu Hao and his wife? ”

Wang Xuanqing said: "I heard that there are a lot of relatives here, and there are at least dozens of people in total." ”

Princess Anqing couldn't help but envy: "Our princess's mansion has custom constraints, and even the size of the garden can't be exceeded in the slightest." Look at the mansions of the Xu family and the princes and ministers, who is not ten times more luxurious than the princess's mansion? ”

Princess Nankang said with a smile: "The Xu family is the first duke of the founding of the country, and now it is the only one in the Ming Dynasty, compared to the prince's mansion, who can compare with the Xu family?" ”

The county lord of Jiangdu suddenly pointed to the pavilion in the distance, and couldn't help but smile: "Look. Isn't that teaching? ”

The big guys all looked over there, and sure enough, there was a girl in front of the pavilion with a book in one hand, walking around with one hand behind her back, reciting Tang poems and Song Ci, and there were more than a dozen girls sitting on the grass. I'm listening carefully to the girl's lecture.。

"It's really strange that people are taught to memorize poems."

Princess Anqing and the others all found it interesting, and the palace ladies around them were also studious, but they all hid in the house and taught themselves. I don't know that the Xu family has opened a primary school, and you can try it in the future, which can be regarded as finding something to do for the palace maids who are idle and panicking.

Wang Xuanqing said with a smile: "That female gentleman is the third cousin Xiao Yushi. The Xiao family is a well-known local scholarly family, and the third child of my family likes to do these nondescript things, so they have to let the maids read and write, learn what medical skills, arithmetic, astronomy, geography, and seem to teach everything. ”

"Healing?" The princesses all looked a little strange.

The county lord of Jiangdu asked incomprehensibly, "What's the use?" The girls of the Guogong family can't be officials, and they can't go out to do things, even if they are full of talent, they are useless. ”

Fuqing lived next door to the Xu family and heard about it, and chuckled: "I heard Xu Hao say that the women in the family have learned, and they can naturally teach it to the next generation in the future, and it will be passed on from generation to generation." ”

"I see." The county lord of Jiangdu nodded, but he still didn't understand Xu Hao's deep meaning, and he just thought that he was teaching some ordinary knowledge.

Wang Xuanqing smiled in his heart, and didn't explain that he let them guess casually, the third child has no bad intentions in this matter, and he is not afraid of being investigated, so it is best to bring him some trouble. The heart said that although I remember your love, the past grievances have disappeared, but you didn't marry me at the beginning, this humiliation is unforgettable, and I, Wang Xuanqing, will never forget it.

Everyone stopped and looked at the essentials for a while, and then walked forward, and saw a group of girls sitting around a flower, with a guqin in front of them, listening quietly.

Several princesses were surprised and said, "Mu Ningxue! ”

But I saw Mu Ningxue sitting in the center of the girl, with a natural ancient Jiugong guqin with colorful lacquer in front of her, and a three-legged bronze tripod burning sandalwood on each side.

Mu Ningxue didn't notice that someone came in the distance, her voice was as melodious as a falling Dongzhu, and she said eloquently: "Seven picks, business is not commonly used, and the name refers to the string business; Eight is said to be beating, making Ding, and it is not commonly used, and the name refers to the string Ding; Nine said, early, big finger, middle finger, unison, every four and five sides to use; If it is separated by three or two, it is used to sound in unison. Ten said light, as a coin, said to be light with this string, should be flicked with also. The above methods are the same for both hands. The left hand drum has an inner string, a clear sound, and the right hand drum has an outer string, a middle sound. Qi Yi Qi Qi Qi Qi Single play, the rules of its play, refers to the should be stretched, not bent. The nail should be short, not long. ”

A seven or eight-year-old girl sitting at the front raised her hand and asked in a coquettish voice, "Sister-in-law, how do you divide this string?" I didn't come last time I had a stomachache, so you can tell me again. ”

"From the outer string, count to fourteen strings for the Qinghuang bell, fifteen strings for the Qing Da Lu, sixteen strings for the Qing Tai cluster, seventeen strings for the Qing Jia bell, eighteen strings for the Qing Gu wash, nineteen strings for the Qing Zhong Lu??"

The princesses had their own thoughts for a while, their expressions were complicated, and they silently looked at Mu Ningxue who was explaining softly in the distance, thinking that they would be free to travel freely after they got married, without restraint, Xu Hao actually allowed his wife to teach in class, which was really enviable.

Mu Ningxue's temperament became more and more refined, her skin was like jade, and her appearance was overwhelming, like a flower god teaching piano skills to all the flower fairies.

The county lord of Jiangdu has always been conceited, and at this moment he knew that there were people outside the sky, and as soon as he heard what the other party said, he already knew that he was ashamed of himself compared to the stunning woman who was full of beauty. (To be continued......)
