Chapter 1196 Neglect
I heard from Princess Qinghui that the little county princess not only inherited Princess Mingzhu’s beauty, but also inherited Princess Mingzhu’s intelligence. No matter what she learned, she could learn it at once, and she had a photographic memory of poems and songs.
She had long wanted to take her twins to the Second Prince's Mansion to play with the little county lord.
Mammy saluted and said, "Princess, our little princess has heard that you are back a long time ago. She is looking forward to you every day in the mansion. Originally, the little princess wanted to go to Prince Anjun's mansion to play with you, but at that time she She is less than three months old and should not move around. Besides, it is freezing outside, so the princess is worried. It would be great if the princess has time to visit our little princess in person. "
"What's great, Chu Yu, what are you talking about?" Dou Si walked over and happened to hear the last words of Grandma Liu.
Dou Da and Dou Er had seen Xia Zihan a long time ago and originally wanted to come and talk to Xia Zihan, but when he saw her walking towards an old nanny, Dou Da Dou Er refrained from coming.
Dou Si was reminded by Dou Da. After seeing Xia Zihan, he raised his feet and walked over.
"Chu Yu, which family does this nanny come from? She looks kind-hearted." Dou Si looked at Nanny Liu and felt that she looked familiar, but couldn't remember whose family she belonged to.
Chu Yu made the introduction, "It's Grandma Liu, the person next to the second princess."
He also introduced Dou Si to Grandma Liu.
When Nanny Liu heard that she was the fourth aunt of the Dou family, she hurriedly bowed and said, "Hello, second young lady of the Li family."
"Ouch, mommy, get up quickly, don't be too polite." How dare Dou Si let the nun next to the second princess salute her? She jumped up and stretched out her hands to help the person stand upright, "It's all my fault for being clumsy. , I didn’t recognize grandma, please don’t blame me.”
"Second Young Madam, you are so polite. This old slave is just a slave. I have only met Second Young Madam once. It is understandable that Second Young Madam cannot remember her for a moment." Aunt Liu said very politely.
Dou Si and Qinghui Mingzhu Chu Yu both play well and are their best friends. How dare Nanny Liu take advantage of the second princess's power to show off in front of Dou Si.
After saying a few polite words, she followed Dou Sichuyu to Mrs. Dou's side. Aunt Liu saluted and said hello to several ladies of the Dou family.
Mrs. Dou recognized Nanny Liu and returned the courtesy.
After Chu Yu greeted several Mrs. Dou, he was pulled aside by Mr. Dou, Mr. Dou and Mr. Dou to talk.
The fourth wife of the second generation of the Rong family was arranging matters in the mourning hall. She was just a wife of a seventh-rank official family. She rarely had the opportunity to meet ladies from noble families, so the number of ladies she knew was limited.
She didn't know anyone from Chu Yu or the Dou family, so she arranged for the ladies from a few aristocratic families she knew to burn incense and paper first, while leaving the noble ladies from noble aristocratic families like the Dou family and Chu Yu aside.
Just when she was standing in front of a third-grade official's wife, trying to please her, she saw Mrs. Rong's personal maid hurried in from the backyard. She raised her eyes and scanned the room, then her face changed drastically and she walked towards Xia Xia. Zi Han bowed in front of a group of people, "Princess Princess, Mrs. Hou, and Aunt Liu, I'm really sorry for keeping you waiting here for so long."
He apologized to several people with an apologetic expression, and then quickly arranged for a few people to go forward to burn incense and paper with Mrs. Rong, squeezing the people originally arranged by the fourth wife to the back.
When Mrs. Rong Si saw this, she looked a little unhappy. She smiled stiffly and said something to the third-rank official's wife, then walked towards the maid. The fourth wife smiled stiffly with an old face, pulled her lips and said, "Girl Xingyu, who are these ladies?"
"Fourth Madam, this is Mother Liu, the personal aunt of the Second Princess, this is Princess Chuyu of the Anjun Prince's Mansion, this is Madam Hou of the Guangji Marquis Mansion, and this is the Second Princess of the Guangji Marquis Mansion. Madam, this is..." Xingyu pointed at a few people and introduced them to the fourth wife one by one.
Every time the fourth wife heard someone, her ears stood up, traces of annoyance flashed in her eyes, and she smiled with a smile on her face. You noble man, my eyes really deserve a beating.”
He said that he should be beaten, but there was no trace of the need for beating on his face. As he said this, he still managed to lean closer to Xia Zihan and the others.
Unfortunately, whether it was Xia Zihan, Mrs. Dou, or Aunt Liu, they all just glanced at her lightly, nodded slightly, and said hello without being rude, then passed her and took Xingyu's hand. I lit the incense, bowed three times, and then the maid took it over and placed it on the incense burner in front of Mrs. Rong's coffin.
After Xia Zihan finished praying, he looked at Rong San, who was kneeling in front of the soul and bowed his head silently, "Rong San, my condolences and submission."
Rong San raised his head slightly, revealing his tired and sad eyes. He stared at Xia Zihan for a long time before saying two words in a low voice, "Thank you."
Xia Zihan and his group were quickly led to the backyard by Xingyu. On the way, Xingyu whispered to Xia Zihan, "It was Haibo who went to the backyard to inform the slaves that the princess and the prince are here."
Hai Bo was Rong San's personal servant. Today, Rong San knelt in mourning. Hai Bo was busy helping the old housekeeper in the mourning hall. Hai Bo had sharp eyes and he saw Xia Zihan and Chu Jingqi as soon as they entered the door.
Hai Bo quietly reported to Rong San.
When Rong San raised his head to find Xia Zihan, he saw that she was talking to Nanny Liu, while the fourth wife was greeting others and did not go over to greet Xia Zihan. Rong San did not want to neglect Xia Zihan, so he ordered Hai Bo to go to the backyard. , called over Xingyu, the personal maid that Mrs. Rong used before.
Xingyu knew Xia Zihan. When Xia Zihan saved Mrs. Rong, Xingyu watched from the side.
Xingyu led Xia Zihan and his party outside the flower hall where the women rested, and whispered to Xia Zihan, "The third wife is entertaining the women in the flower hall. If the princess has any instructions, just give them to the slaves."
Xia Zihan was Mrs. Rong's lifesaver. Although she did not save Mrs. Rong, she delayed her life for more than a month. Xingyu kept this kindness in her heart and became closer to Xia Zihan. heart.
Mrs. Rong San did not know Xia Zihan. Xingyu was worried that Mrs. Rong San would be like Mrs. Rong Si and neglected Xia Zihan. After entering the flower hall, Xingyu specially introduced Xia Zihan and his party to Mrs. Rong San.
Mrs. Rong San's smile made her heart throb, as if the Rong family was not hosting a funeral, but a happy event, "It turns out it's Mrs. Guangji Hou and Princess Chuyu. Sit down quickly. Sit over here, girl Qing. Quickly pour some tea for the nobles.”
It is a custom to go to other people's homes to worship and drink tea. No matter how busy you are and how much you want to leave, you have to drink a cup of tea before leaving. This is a custom that has been passed down in Dasheng Kingdom for thousands of years.
Xia Zihan and the others sat down at the seats arranged by Mrs. Rong San. They picked up the tea that the maid had just poured and took a few sips.
