Jiaojiao Extra Story (Part 2)

Chen Xiangxue was having a banquet, when she heard the servant girl come over and report that Princess Yaocen was coming, her expression changed slightly. She thought that Jiaojiao would not come even if she accepted the invitation. But soon, she recovered as before, and she couldn't find it without paying special attention.

Jiaojiao is a distinguished guest, and Chen Xiangxue went out to greet her personally. Today, Jiaojiao is wearing a bright red cloud brocade dress, a high bun, and a set of ruby ​​and emerald jewellery.

Seeing Jiaojiao walking slowly, Chen Xiangxue paused, and then walked forward with a smile on her face.

Today Chen Xiangxue was wearing a bright red long dress sprinkled with gold and woven with gold brocade, with a peony bun, in which were inserted four bright jeweled phoenix hairpins in the mouth of a red gold silk-drawn phoenix. This attire was originally very gorgeous. But now, Jiaojiao forcefully suppressed her.

Walking in front of Jiaojiao, Chen Xiangxue said with a smile: "The princess's presence really makes our Xu family flourish."

Jiaojiao is also a good hand in interpersonal communication, and said with a smile: "Sister Xiangxue, I haven't seen you for so many years and you are still so good at talking."

I don't know, seeing the two talking and laughing side by side, I thought how close the relationship between the two is!

Chen Xiangxue and Jiaojiao said: "Princess, my mother-in-law said that she wanted to admire your demeanor, so she posted a post for you."

The matter of posting to Jiaojiao was brought up by Mrs. Xu. Chen Xiangxue didn't want to make extra trouble, but Mrs. Xu insisted. He even talked to Xu Wenchang about it.

Xu Wenchang felt that this was just a trivial matter, and the birthday party was coming soon, so he agreed without wanting to upset the old lady. When the family members agreed, what else could Chen Xiangxue do, she could only post.

Jiaojiao smiled and said: "Everyone in the capital knows that the old lady is a good teacher. I have long wanted to meet the old man, maybe I can still be in her honor!"

The Ming Dynasty was good at educating children, who else could surpass the Empress Dowager. Chen Xiangxue knew that what Jiaojiao said were all polite words.

Jiaojiao is the princess of the second rank appointed by the emperor. The rank of Mrs. Xu and the guests present is no higher than her. So when Jiaojiao entered the main hall, everyone stood up except Mrs. Xu.

When Jiaojiao entered the room, she looked at the person sitting above. I saw the old lady wearing a royal blue Wufu holding shroud and a dark red six-panel skirt. Her hair was neatly combed, her body was surrounded by emerald jewels, she was very handsome, and she looked kind-hearted.

After being reminded by the maid beside her, Mrs. Xu stood up.

Jiaojiao stepped forward and made a junior salute to the old lady Xu: "Yao Cen is here to wish the old lady good luck like the East China Sea and a long life in Nanshan." The birthday gift is given to the recipient when entering the door.

The old lady Xu was stunned, and asked in disbelief: "Are you the princess Yaocen?"

The face is condensed with goose fat, the lips are like cherry blossoms, the eyebrows are like distant mountains, and the spirit is like autumn water. This beautiful young woman turned out to be Princess Yaocen who rejected her son.

After arriving in the capital that year, when she heard that someone had rejected her son's marriage proposal, Mrs. Xu felt sulky for a while. In her heart, her son is worthy of a princess, but in the end he was rejected by a princess. In fact, at that time, Mrs. Xu wanted to see Jiaojiao. Look at what this woman who dared to reject her son looks like. Unfortunately, it has not been able to do so.

Jiaojiao nodded slightly: "Well, I am Yaocen."

The old lady Xu couldn't help asking: "The princess seems to be thirty-two this year, right?"

Jiaojiao's brows trembled, and the old lady was really straightforward: "Yes, I just passed my thirty-second birthday a few days ago."

"It's really young, it doesn't look much older than my family's Pengpeng." Pengpeng is Chen Xiangxuesheng's eldest daughter.

This name was taken by Xu Wenchang, which was taken from "Feng Feng? Zai Chi": "I walk in my wilderness, and Peng Peng's wheat.". Chen Xiangxue didn't like this name. But Xu Wenchang has the final say in the family, and he has to accept it if he doesn't like it.

Jiaojiao smiled, but didn't answer.

The old lady Xu continued: "Everything else is good, but I'm too thin. I'd better eat more, fatter looks better."

Chen Xiangxue interrupted: "Princess, please sit down." The seat given to Jiaojiao was the first one on the left.

Jiaojiao doesn't like others to judge her, but now she is a guest and she won't show her face. Seeing that Chen Xiangxue changed the subject, she smiled and walked over to sit down.

The old lady Xu looked at Jiaojiao and asked, "What material are your clothes made of? They are so translucent." In her old age, she had never seen bright and exquisite clothes.

Jiaojiao said calmly, "Yunjin."

When Mrs. Xu heard this, she was very surprised: "Yunjin? Is it a rare material that is rumored to be every inch of gold?"

Many people present have seen Yunjin, but few people have worn the clothes made by Yunjin. However, the Chen family has a profound heritage, and the clothes Chen Xiangxue and Ji Shi wore were made of brocade. It's just that after she married Xu Wenchang, she never wore this dress again.

Jiaojiao nodded lightly with a smile, "Yes!"

"No wonder your clothes are so beautiful!" Just such a suit of clothes costs hundreds of thousands of dollars, which is too extravagant. Thinking of this, Mrs. Xu was glad that Xu Wenchang didn't marry Jiaojiao back then. If not, how can I afford it.

The look on Mrs. Xu's face was so obvious that no one present couldn't see it.

Jiaojiao picked up the tea, took a sip, and put it down. This tea is really not ordinary.

In fact, it's not that their tea is bad, it's that Jiaojiao's mouth is too tricky. Instead of deciding on good tea, she would rather drink plain water.

The old lady Xu saw Jiaojiao's hands, and her eyes were straight: "Your hands are really white."

Jiaojiao's jade hands are delicate, white and smooth. The nails are not painted with various powders and pigments like the noble ladies and daughters in Kyoto nowadays, it is a very natural pink. Just by looking at these hands, one can tell that her master is someone who has never done anything.

"The old lady has won the prize."

Chen Xiangxue didn't want the old lady Xu to continue talking, so she changed the topic with a smile: "I heard that the princess likes to grow flowers, and the Cymbidium in our garden happened to bloom. I wonder if the princess is interested in going to see it?"

"Of course I'm interested. I just want to see if my Cymbidium is better or yours. If yours is better, I can learn from you." There is a saying that enemies should be resolved rather than knotted, and it is not about deep hatred and deep hatred. Xiangxue is also a smart person, Jiaojiao doesn't want to make enemies with her.

Chen Xiangxue is going to take Jiaojiao to the garden to enjoy the flowers.

The old lady Xu was very dissatisfied, and she didn't know what a daughter-in-law meant here. She just said a few words to Princess Yaocen, and then hurriedly pulled him away. It was not obvious that she was going against herself: "The sun is so bright outside, so let the sun shine more. If you want to see the flowers, let the servants pick them up." Just move in and see."

Mrs. Xu couldn't understand Chen Xiangxue raising those flowers and plants. The land in this garden can grow vegetables completely, so there is no need to spend money to buy them. But the daughter-in-law didn't listen to her words at all. The flowers and plants planted cannot be eaten or worn, and special personnel must be sent to take care of them. Every time she thinks about this, Mrs. Xu feels that Chen Xiangxue can't live a life, and she's such a prodigal. For this matter, Mrs. Xu talked to Xu Wenchang for a long time. It's a pity that Xu Wenchang didn't support her idea, and said it was an elegant thing, so the old lady Xu gave up.

Chen Xiangxue also had a headache for the old lady Xu's lack of wink, but she would not disobey the old lady's wishes in front of so many guests: "Princess, look?"

Jiaojiao sat back on the chair and said with a smile: "The old lady loves me so much, then bring the flowers in and let everyone watch them together."

Two pots of Cymbidium were quickly moved to the living room. Jiaojiao felt that the flowers were very similar, but she still praised them like everyone else.

At this time, an older woman praised the old lady for being blessed to have two capable and filial sons.

In the sixth year of Xu Wenchang's champion, Xu Wendong also passed the Jinshi examination. Although it can't be compared with Xu Wenchang, it proves that he is very good if he can pass the exam.

What Mrs. Xu is most proud of in her life is that she gave birth to two capable sons, Xu Wenchang and Xu Wendong, so he never gets tired of hearing this word no matter how many times.

But it was this woman's words that reminded Mrs. Xu, she looked at Jiaojiao and said, "I don't know how many children the Princess has?" In fact, she was asking knowingly.

"Two children, one son and one daughter." It's not that Jiaojiao didn't want to have a baby, but she didn't get pregnant after giving birth to her son. In Du Zhaozhang's generation, there were five males, and his own elder brother had six sons. So their Du family did not lack a son. Jiaojiao only gave birth to a son and a daughter, and Du's parents didn't care.

When Mrs. Xu heard this, she said: "One son is too little, at least two are needed." Besides Chen Xiangxue's two sons and one daughter, Xu Wenchang also had three concubine sons and two concubine daughters. The number of children born to concubines will surely increase.

At this time, a woman with a weakened face took advantage of the opportunity and praised: "The old lady is very blessed, and she has a daughter and two sons. In the whole capital, I can't find anyone who can compare with you, old lady."

These people want to flatter Mrs. Xu, but Jiaojiao doesn't care. But if you want to step on her, there is no door.

Jiaojiao chuckled softly and said: "The in-laws love their husbands, and there are no concubines in the house. When they get old, they will be accompanied by their wives, and their children and grandchildren will be filial and caring. This is the real blessing."

It is true that Mrs. Xu's son is filial, but he became a widow when he was young. According to Jiaojiao's statement, not only is he unlucky, but his life is miserable.

Hearing this, the thin-faced woman said in a sharp voice: "I don't agree with the princess's words. It is the duty of a wife and daughter-in-law to spread branches and leaves for the husband's family."

The smile on Jiaojiao's face disappeared, she looked at the woman and said lightly: "I didn't say that, it was my grandmother."

The woman got stuck. Who doesn't know that the filial piety of today's emperor can't tolerate outsiders saying anything wrong about the queen mother, if what she said today reaches the ears of the emperor, her husband will definitely be implicated.

The old lady Xu was originally in a good mood, but Jiaojiao's words made her feel extremely bad in an instant. But this is what the queen mother said, and she can't refute it. No matter how ignorant and ignorant Mrs. Xu is, she would not dare to say that what the Queen Mother said was wrong.

Jiaojiao didn't seem to know how much disturbance her words caused. At that moment, Mrs. Xu told Chen Xiangxue that she was feeling dizzy and needed to go home.

The old lady Xu is eager for Jiaojiao to leave now, lest Jiaojiao say something that makes her worry: "Since the princess is not feeling well, then you should go back quickly."

However, Chen Xiangxue stepped forward and asked with concern: "What's wrong with the princess? Do you want to go to the wing room to rest first? I'll send someone to ask the doctor to come and show you first, and then go back after making sure everything is fine."

Although she knew that Jiaojiao's saying that she was uncomfortable was just an excuse, but as the master, she had to show due care and worry. Instead of being like Mrs. Xu, wishing that people would leave quickly. Let other guests see what they think.

Jiaojiao didn't feel bad for Chen Xiangxue, on the contrary she felt that it was not easy: "It's okay, just take a rest."

Chen Xiangxue sent Jiaojiao out of Xu's house, and when she arrived at the gate she said apologetically, "My mother-in-law is very kind, but she has a bit of a temper and just thinks of what to say, please don't take her words to heart. .” At the very beginning, Chen Xiangxue was often pissed off by Mrs. Xu. After a long time, I looked away.

"Why would I care about the old man." I believe that with what happened today, the Xu family probably won't invite her again in the future.

Jiaojiao's carriage quickly disappeared from Chen Xiangxue's sight. But Chen Xiangxue still looked into the distance. Back then, she had actually wondered why Xu Wenchang was so outstanding, why would Princess Shu and Jiaojiao refuse marriage. But now, she understands.

The servant girl asked from the side: "Ma'am, what's the matter?"

"I think Princess Yaocen is very blessed." After Du Zhaozhang married Princess Yaocen, he pampered her like a treasure. These years, he didn't have any other women by his side, so he only guarded Princess Yaocen. And just looking at Princess Yaocen's appearance, one can tell how happy she is.

The servant girl said: "Madam, you are also very lucky. All the aunts in the family do not envy you, Madam." Among Chen Xiangxue's sisters, she is the only one who married the best. And Xu Wenchang also respected her very much. Although there are two concubines, these two concubines are as honest as quails.

Husband Qian Yuanda trusts her, leaving all the affairs of the inner house to herself and never intervening. Although the mother-in-law sometimes speaks harshly, she is not a vicious person, nor will she deliberately rub people, just coax and hold her. Compared with her sisters at home, she is really doing well.

Thinking of this, Chen Xiangxue said: "One must be content." That's what she said, but she still felt a little uneasy in her heart. Which woman doesn't want to be alone forever.

In the evening, the old lady Xu said to Xu Wenchang: "It's a good thing you didn't marry the princess Yaocen that day, otherwise I would lose twenty years of my life." It is a great blessing to have a wife to accompany her, this does not slap her in the face.

At this time, Mrs. Xu completely forgot that it wasn't that his son didn't want to marry, it was that others didn't like his son.

In the face of these years, Xu Wenchang has long been impassive, and said with a smile: "Mother, why is the old Huangli talking about this for so many years. Mother, I am leaving tomorrow. When the weather cools, I'll send someone to pick you up." It was also because he knew that today was Mrs. Xu's 60th birthday, so the emperor specially granted permission to wait for Mrs. Xu to pass her birthday before taking office.

The old lady Xu's attention was quickly shifted.

But after that day, Mrs. Xu treated Chen Xiangxue much more kindly. To Chen Xiangxue, this was an unexpected surprise.

At the same time, Jiaojiao also said to Du Zhaozhang: "The old lady is really like what my grandmother said that day, she is not a wicked person, but her words are too harsh." Everything is shown on her face and she speaks out without hiding her heart. Such a person is actually easy to deal with. I'm afraid of the kind of person who is kind on the surface but hurts the knife behind his back. Therefore, Jiaojiao didn't feel bad for Mrs. Xu. Of course, she doesn't like it either.

Du Zhaozhang said: "When she speaks badly, you just choke back. You can't rely on her age and let her be a fool." His future is not worse than Xu Wenchang's. And since the two are not in the same camp, Jiaojiao is not afraid of offending her.

Jiaojiao kissed Du Zhaozhang, and said cheerfully, "Husband, you are so kind." Fortunately, she is very principled, otherwise she would have been spoiled by Du Zhaozhang.

Du Zhaozhang was so ecstatic by the kiss, soon, there was a blushing voice in the house.

ps: I didn't bother to open an umbrella when I saw the light rain yesterday, and ended up with a splitting headache in the middle of the night. I slept all day today, and my head still hurts. So I can only update today, sorry.
