Chapter 392 Pen pals(1/2)
After Baochai followed Yin Hao's wife inside, Mrs. Yin's wife asked Jia Qiang about recent family affairs. She heard that the Jia family was repairing a garden and was preparing to welcome Concubine Yuan for a royal visit. She immediately said with envy: "After all, it's the Duke's family.
, unlike a family like ours, when the Queen comes back to visit her relatives, she just lays a layer of loess on the streets outside."
Jia Qiang smiled and said: "It was originally a decree from the palace that a guard station should be established before you can go home to visit your relatives. The queen and the empress have different identities. She is the most respected mother in the world, so there is no need for other embellishments."
Mrs. Yin's wife smiled even more lovingly when she heard this. Mrs. Qin, the eldest wife of the Yin family, smiled and said: "Many people have told me about my brother, and they all said that he has a domineering impression and a bad temper. Looking at him now, he seems to be quite good.
"
Jia Qiang thought for a moment, smiled, looked at Mrs. Qin and said, "Madam..."
Mrs. Yin's wife waved her hand and interrupted: "Just call me aunt. The eldest wife is a bit too harsh. I know that the rules in your Duke's mansion are very strict, but the Yin family is not so particular. When Brother Hao and the others saw me, they all
Just call me grandma directly."
The title "ma'am" originally had an official color.
For example, when Mrs. Wang is in the Jia family, Baoyu can only call her Mrs., and this is especially true for Jia Lian, Jia Huan and even Jia Lan...
Jia Qiang smiled awkwardly after hearing this and said: "It's okay to call the old lady grandma, it's a blessing. It's also appropriate to call the eldest lady auntie, but if that's the case, how should I call the second wife?"
As soon as this was said, the women of the Yin family burst out laughing.
Mrs. Yin's wife was startled for a moment, and then she also started laughing.
A younger woman laughed and said, "You still have to ask? Just call my mother-in-law!"
Mrs. Sun was quite cheerful and said with a smile: "If brother is willing to change his mind as soon as possible, I would be happy to see him."
Fortunately, Mrs. Yin's wife saw Jia Qiang's embarrassment and stopped her with a smile: "People say that my uncle is a pampered customer. How can you treat a pampered customer like this? Be careful and scare me away!"
Mrs. Sun smiled and said: "That's all, let's not change our words yet! If we really scare away the charming guest, my mother will never accept her."
Everyone laughed again when they saw Jia Qiang blushing and being speechless.
Aunt Xue, who was sitting next to Jia Qiang, felt jealous when she saw that Jia Qiang was so favored by the Yin family.
If Xue Pan could have such a good fortune, she would burn high incense in her dreams!
The Yin family was a small family, and they only had one queen. However, this queen raised five princes, and they all respected her as their biological mother.
No matter who becomes the emperor in the future, will the Yin family be neglected?
She also heard Jia Mu say that there are six men in the Yin family, all of whom are talented.
Those who work hard in the army work hard in the army, and those who study in the Imperial College test their merit and reputation.
The Yin family is indeed nothing at the moment, but let’s look at it ten or twenty years later?
If Xue Pan had such a wife and family, he would have been rich for fifty years!
pity……
In the eyes of the Yin family, the Xue family is really nothing. They gave such a big blow when they arrived today. I think they came here to test Baochai's temperament, whether he is naughty and naughty, and whether he will bully the Yin family in the future.
The princess who spoke...
Mrs. Yin's wife above finally did not forget Aunt Xue, but she still asked Jia Qiang: "What is my brother's relationship with the Xue family? She is still very worried about her."
The last time Jia Qiang asked for a favor, she only briefly talked about the stakes.
After listening to the question, he told the story of how he had been helped by Xue Pan when he was in trouble, and finally said: "A drop of kindness should be repaid by a spring. Although there were some family business contacts with Xue Jiafeng later.
, but the most important thing is the loyalty from the beginning."
Mrs. Yin's wife was a little awe-struck when she heard the words, and said seriously: "Brother Qiang has done an excellent job. A man should be clear about grudges and grudges, and repay favors with kindness and revenge with hatred. I also often tell your brothers, don't ask them how old they are.
I have become an official and have done many amazing things. Make more friends outside, especially friends who don’t have much utilitarian power. Brother Qiang has done a good job in this regard!"
When Jia Qiang heard this, she was really ashamed this time. She smiled ashamedly and said: "I really haven't made many friends, only three or five. They can't compare with Fifth Brother and the others."
Mrs. Yin's wife smiled and said: "What you are doing is not a job to make friends! Just take your time, you are still young and your days are still long."
Jia Qiang stood up and bowed to receive the instruction.
When it comes to Taoism and practice, Mrs. Yin Jiatai is one of the most profound people he has ever met, regardless of gender.
After Mrs. Yin's wife said this, Jia Qiang's future mother-in-law, Mrs. Sun, smiled again and said: "Why are the colors of those brocades you sent me so good? I sent Yin Hao to look at all the silk and satin shops in the East and West markets, but there was nothing.
To find such a good color, there is always something left to be desired.”
Jia Qiang smiled and said: "It turned out that I got a recipe, and then I started a cloth shop in Yangzhou with others. What I came up with was not much, so I didn't plan to spread it among the shops in the capital... Second wife, do you want to use it?
"
Mr. Sun smiled and said, "Then just ask someone to send thirty or fifty horses, and let Brother Hao give you some money."
Jia Qiang twitched the corners of her lips and said, "The second wife is joking, how can I collect this money easily?"
Everyone laughed, and Mrs. Sun said: "If it's something else, you won't be able to accept it, and I won't mention it. But I use these silks and satins to make people's bedding, so why can I ask you for nothing?"
Jia Qiang didn't understand for a moment. What was the contradiction here? But he also saw that there seemed to be something, otherwise the Yin family would not have said this.
Aunt Xue reminded her with a smile on her face: "I am preparing a dowry for the princess. If your materials are not really good and you are the only one, why would I ask you to give me your hand?"
Jia Qiang suddenly understood and didn't know what to say for a moment, which made all the young and old ladies laugh.
While the whole hall was laughing, they saw Yin Hao's wife, who had just left, leading Baochai in, and everyone's eyes suddenly lit up.
I saw that Baochai, who was originally dressed in green brocade, was now wearing a peach blossom cloud shirt and a brocade double-butterfly mother-of-pearl skirt. Her skin, which was originally as white as snow, looked even brighter against the backdrop of such a bright skirt.
Unparalleled.
"Oh, what a nice color! Look, how nice it looks like this?"
Mrs. Yin's wife said happily.
Mrs. Qin smiled and said: "Thankfully our Ziyu is not bad either, otherwise we would have been compared."
When Aunt Xue saw that the women of the Yin family had such expressions without covering up, she became more and more curious about what the princess of the Yin family could be like.
Mrs. Yin's wife said to Jia Qiang: "Go, since it's the person you introduced, you go and introduce him to Ziyu. When we meet, go and see Xiao Wu'er." The implication is that we met once, but it didn't last long.
Keep……
Jia Qiang naturally understood and nodded in agreement. After greeting the elders of the Yin family and saying goodbye, she invited Baochai to go out together.
It's not surprising that Yin Ziyu can't be found, there is a maid to lead the way.
…
"Miss, miss, come on, come on!"
It is only twenty or thirty steps away from Xuanci Hall. You turn along the corridor and pass through the hanging flower arch, which is Yin Ziyu's small courtyard.
A girl who still had her head saw someone coming from a distance, so she hurried back to the third room and reported inside.
Yin Ziyu pursed his lips slightly when he heard the words, a hint of shyness flashed in his eyes, but he just paused, put away the medical book in his hand, stood up, and walked to the central hall to stand still.
Given her identity and position, she shouldn't have stood up to greet her... No, she shouldn't have met.
But since the elders have arranged it, and she understands that the elders are doing it for her own good, she is not timid or pretentious.
Not long after, I saw the maid of the Yin family leading Jia Qiang and Yi Yi, a girl I had never seen before, but who was born very well and had a good temperament.
Yin Ziyu met Jia Qiang first. After the two looked at each other, Jia Qiang smiled and nodded, while Yin Ziyu lowered his eyes and bent his knees.
When the girl behind her saw him, she pursed her lips and smiled, feeling that her young lady and the handsome and charming Marquis opposite, who was better-looking than an ordinary girl, actually seemed to be compatible with each other as if they were guests.
Baochai, who was half a step behind Jia Qiang, also took this opportunity to take a closer look at the princess who would accompany him for many years to come.
quiet.
The beauty of her face should not be described as the moon is closed and the flowers are shy, the fish is sinking and the geese are falling. It is too cliché.
As for the impression given to people, the only word "jing" can be used to describe the beauty of this princess of the Yin family.
It's not a static and rigid kind of silence, but a kind of tranquility that makes people feel peaceful and calm.
Baochai felt that, not to mention that the princess was extremely beautiful and beautiful, she was as ugly as a girl without salt, but her demeanor alone was not comparable to that of most women in the world.
It's a pity that she can't speak...
After Jia Qiang treated Yin Ziyu to her blessing, she introduced her with a smile: "This Miss Xue is your female official. His brother and I are very close friends. Although I haven't spoken a few words to Miss Xue, we are the elders of the Jia family."
My sisters and I are full of praise for her. The elders praise her for being steady and dignified, hiding her foolishness and being clumsy but not frivolous. The sisters praise her for her talent, her literary skills, and her etiquette. They all say that you have a quiet temperament and like to read, which is a coincidence.
Yes, she, a female official, is no different."
Baochai took half a step forward, knelt down and said with a blessing, "May the princess be blessed with peace of mind."
Although Yin Ziyu could not speak, she still stretched out her right hand and raised it slightly to show her displeasure.
At this time, Yin Ziyu's maid brought in pen, ink, paper and inkstone, a total of three paintings.
Yin Ziyu looked at Jia Qiang, pinched the corner of her right sleeve with her left hand, then moved it slightly, making a "please take a seat" gesture with him.
Jia Qiang smiled and nodded, and said to Baochai: "Sit down and talk with pen and ink."
Then he laughed at himself: "It's just my words that make you laugh."
Yin Ziyu glanced at Jia Qiang lightly with bright eyes, and wrote with a pen: "As a general, Lord Marquis has used the golden sword and iron horse as his pen, and the battlefield as his paper to write the chapter of the country."
Jia Qiang took it and looked at it, smiled, and without saying much, wrote casually: "Not to mention the general, the Five Cities Military and Horse Division is responsible for cleaning the streets, preventing water leakage, and catching robbers. But if there is a chance one day,
To be continued...
