Jiaojiao Extra Story (Part 1)

?The sky was as clear as a piece of blue paper, with a few thin white clouds floating slowly in the air with the wind.

Jiaojiao sat on the edge of the pool, coughing melon seeds, and said to Liu'er: "Mother, I have seen so many places, but I still think that the scenery of Baihuayuan is the best. Even the imperial garden can't compare with Baihuayuan. .”

Liu'er leaned on the bench and said with a smile: "You like Baihuayuan, so naturally you think the scenery there is unique. But for others, the scenery of the Royal Garden is unique in the world." Royal Garden, that is How can the emperor's back garden be compared with other places.

Jiaojiao smiled and took another melon seed. After spitting out the shell, Jiaojiao said: "Mother, grandfather and grandmother are so old, can't they both live in Baihuayuan all the time?" She thought it would be better for Yunqing and Yuxi to live in the palace, but it was impossible It should also let a descendant of the next generation take care of the two old people. Jiaojiao wanted to take care of the two of them, but she wisely kept silent. She has four uncles, and there are so many princes and grandchildren, and it is not her turn to take care of a married niece.

"Your eldest uncle mentioned this a long time ago, but your grandmother didn't want to, saying that she was used to being with your grandfather. If there are more than one person, she will not get used to it." Liu'er knew that this was an excuse, and the root cause was that Yuxi found it troublesome . Many of those princes want to live in Baihuayuan, the purpose is to win the favor of her parents and get benefits. It's a pity how could she hide this thought from her mother. In the end, these people all failed.

Jiaojiao is no longer a young and ignorant girl now, how can she not know that there are many truths in this. She also didn't want to discuss this topic with Liu'er, so she changed the subject with a smile: "Mother, didn't you say at the beginning of the year that Auntie would come back in the spring, why hasn't she come back in May?"

Liu'er shook her head and said, "I guess it was delayed."

"Mother, after my aunt returns to Beijing this time, she won't return to Tongcheng again, right?" Her aunt has been guarding the border city for more than 20 years, and now that she is old, she should return to Beijing.

Liu'er laughed and said: "This mother can't say for sure, it depends on your aunt's opinion." Yun Qing had a serious illness a few days ago, and after recovering from the illness, he began to worry that he would not be able to see his children before he died. Knowing Yunqing's worry, Qihao asked Zaozao to come back. As for whether to go back again, Liu'er was not sure.

The mother and daughter whispered for a long time, and saw Shiliu's daughter Xiangying walking over: "Princess, I just got the news that the emperor appointed Xu Wenchang as the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi." Although Liu'er did not participate in politics, she Very concerned about government affairs. She knew immediately what was going on in court.

Jiaojiao was very surprised: "The 38-year-old governor of Guangdong and Guangxi has never existed in all dynasties!" The reason why she knew so clearly was because she knew that Xu Wenchang was six years older than her.

"Looking at the past dynasties, those with the highest rank in the Three Yuans will be promoted very quickly as long as they don't make mistakes." Xu Wenchang is not a nerd who can only make fuss, he has practiced human relations and the world. So the promotion is so fast, it doesn't make people jealous, on the contrary, everyone thinks it should be so. Not everyone has this ability.

Jiaojiao smiled, and said: "Even if he becomes the chief assistant now, it is the Xu family's business. It has nothing to do with us."

As a result, Jiaojiao received an invitation from the Xu Mansion the next day. Because the beginning of next month is Mrs. Xu's 60th birthday, everyone who has been close to the Xu family earlier has received invitations. Jiaojiao also knew about this.

Holding the invitation card, Yinhong said with an unfriendly expression: "Princess, what do you mean by this Chen Xiangxue? Are you demonstrating to the princess?"

Xu Wenchang served in the Imperial Academy for three years, but he didn't spend much time in the Imperial Academy in these three years, but he often went to and from the imperial palace. Three years later, he was released as the magistrate of the fourth rank. This speed of promotion was not available in the Ming dynasty. It's just that his starting point is too high, and although everyone envies him, no one objects. Three years ago, Xu Wenchang was transferred back to the capital to serve as the left servant of the household department.

In the past few years, Xu's family has also held several large banquets and hosted many guests. But Jiaojiao was only transferred back to Beijing from Yunnan with Du Zhaozhang at the beginning of the year, so she didn't accept Xu's post.

The reason why Yinhong felt that the Xu family was provocative was because the Xu family sent out the invitation to the banquet half a month ago. Now that Xu Wenchang has just been hand-picked as the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, the Xu family sent such a post, which makes it hard for people not to think about it.

Jiaojiao smiled and said: "Whether it's a demonstration or not, you'll know when you go." Chen Xiangxue is a smart person, so she probably wouldn't do such a thing. However, there are no absolutes. Maybe she got carried away after she became successful and wanted to show off in front of her.

Yinhong was a little surprised: "Princess Princess, are you going to Mrs. Xu's birthday party?" Except for a few families she was very close to, Jiaojiao would not go to ordinary invitations.

"Anyway, I have nothing to do recently, let's see which one the Xu family is singing?" After Xu Wenchang was hand-picked as the Governor-General of Guangdong and Guangxi, it was obviously malicious.

Yinhong knew that Jiaojiao was determined to join in the fun, so she didn't object.

But Du Zhaozhang knew about it, and said with a smile: "Don't go if you don't want to, we are not afraid of offending the Xu family."

Jiaojiao smiled and said: "Everyone has posted a battle post, if I don't go there, I would be too cowardly. They don't want to see me regretting it, so I will satisfy their wishes."

After more than ten years of husband and wife, how could Du Zhaozhang not know that Jiaojiao really didn't like Xu Wenchang back then: "You can go if you want, but you must bring Weifeng with you." This Weifeng was given to Jiaojiao by Du Zhaozhang. female guard. When Jiaojiao goes out, Wei Feng will follow.

Jiaojiao felt that Du Zhaozhang was too careful, but her husband's concern was very useful to her.

When it came to Mrs. Xu's birthday party, Jiaojiao got up early to dress up.

Du Zhaozhang gets up at the beginning of Mao every day to practice exercises, but Jiaojiao sleeps until the end of Mao every day. Only when meeting foreigners or visiting guests, she would get up early in order to dress up. Jiaojiao's habit was actually influenced by Liu'er.

After the family finished their breakfast, Jiaojiao saw that Du Zhaozhang was not on duty, and asked with a smile, "What's the matter? Don't worry about me."

Du Zhaozhang said: "I sent you to Xu's house, and then to the Yulin Army." Now Du Zhaozhang is the deputy commander of the Yulin Army and is deeply trusted by the emperor. Although it can't be compared with Xu Wenchang, but the future is also very bright.

However, many people said that Du Zhaozhang was able to gain the emperor's attention because of Jiaojiao's glory. To this, Du Zhaozhang just laughed it off. If he doesn't have the ability, it's useless to gain anyone's credit.

Jiaojiao said happily: "If this is the case, it will really make me look good." The husband personally sent it, and outsiders must be envious of it! It doesn't matter if you go to other people, but you can go to the Xu family, which is very necessary.

Du Zhaozhang also had a purpose in sending Jiaojiao away. Many people said that it was her loss that Jiaojiao did not marry Xu Wenchang, and that she would regret it in the future. He wanted to show how happy Jiaojiao lived these years.

This woman spends a long time dressing up. Du Zhaozhang got used to it a long time ago, so he picked up a book to read.

After more than half an hour passed, Jiaojiao was fine.

Du Zhaozhang looked at Jiaojiao who was dressed up, and said with a smile, "It's so beautiful." A friend of his who had a life-long relationship taught him the experience, saying that if he can often praise his daughter-in-law, saying that she is beautiful and virtuous. The daughter-in-law is happy, and you say that your life will be easier.

This method is really very effective. The husband and wife have seldom blushed for more than ten years.

Jiaojiao raised her head slightly, and said arrogantly: "That is. If my mother hadn't said that there is no need to make too much publicity, I would have been the most beautiful woman in the capital back then. Chen Xiangxue has nothing to do with it."

The husband and wife talked and laughed a few words, then got up and went to Xu's house. Du Zhaozhang rode a horse and Jiaojiao rode in a carriage.

Xu Wenchang was deeply loved by the emperor, and he also valued him. Otherwise, he would not have been appointed governor of Guangdong and Guangxi at a young age. Such an upstart in the political arena is naturally sought after by everyone, so most of the invited guests came for Mrs. Xu's 60th birthday.

Jiaojiao was riding in a luxury carriage with two horses, and would automatically give way to pedestrians or other carriages when they got on the road.

Such a carriage naturally attracted everyone's attention. When Jiaojiao got off the carriage, she saw many people watching her. But she has been the focus of everyone since she was a child, so she is not uncomfortable.

A young girl also happened to get out of the carriage, and she was a little surprised when she saw Jiaojiao.

When Jiaojiao entered the gate, the girl lowered her voice and asked the woman beside her: "Mother, who is this? She looks so beautiful." Not only is she beautiful, but she is also very imposing.

The little girl's mother had seen Jiaojiao in school before. Hearing this, she said softly: "This is Princess Yaocen. You haven't seen her because she has been working with her husband all these years. She was transferred back to Beijing at the beginning of the year." Jiaojiao returned to Beijing only by invitation Relatives and friends had a meal, but did not entertain guests.

The little girl came to a sudden: "So she is the Princess Yaocen who rejected Mr. Xu! Mother, Princess Yaocen is so beautiful!" No wonder Xu Zhuangyuan fell in love with her at first sight back then!

After Xu Wenchang became an official after being the number one scholar in the examination, everything went smoothly. The only thing that didn't go well was that the two marriage proposals that day failed. Although Jiaojiao is not in the capital, Xu Wenchang is too eye-catching, so there are many legends about her in the capital.

The woman warned: "If you keep bluffing like this again, I won't take you out next time."

The little girl quickly shut up.

Du Zhaozhang sent Jiaojiao into the gate, and said: "If nothing happens in the palace later, I'll take you home."

Jiaojiao smiled and nodded: "Okay." If the husband wants to show off, give him a chance to show off. Otherwise, I will be jealous again.

These years, it seemed that Du Zhaozhang was very carefree and didn't take this matter to heart, but Jiaojiao knew that he cared. Otherwise, Du Zhaozhang would not have gone to work in Xihai and Yunnan, two remote places where many people do not want to go. According to his father, the more remote and backward the place, the more political achievements it can make. In recent years, Du Zhaozhang has performed very well. Otherwise, he would not be entrusted with important tasks by the emperor's uncle.

Du Zhaozhang told Jiaojiao not to drink at the banquet, and he didn't leave satisfied until Jiaojiao nodded.
