After the beginning of spring, the hottest time every day in Jingyihuangzhuang is noon.
But the hottest does not soon mean the liveliest.
At noon, everyone in the palace is busy with their own business, those who are busy with farm work, those who are making lunch, those who are making lunch, the clatter of pots and shovels, the sound of hurried footsteps, and occasionally a few The barking of dogs makes Huangzhuang even more quiet.
Busy with farm work? Make lunch?
These two things have little to do with the second prince living in the palace.
As for him, he just wanted to take advantage of the good weather and go for a walk under the mountain.
After all, Dr. Liu said that the second prince had recovered and could move around more appropriately.
With this reason in mind, he naturally got entangled with Cen Xijin.
Anyway, there was nothing much on hand recently, and Cen Xijin also wanted to take a walk to relax his muscles, so the two of them braved the scorching sun at noon and squinted their eyes to run rampant in the imperial village.
Of course, there was almost no one on the road.
Then Cen Xijin walked to Tian's house more naturally.
Yes, Tian family, Tian Hua family.
This is a typical farmhouse courtyard, with warm sunlight shining evenly into the courtyard.
At this time, all the men in the family are doing farm work in the fields. The women in the house are wielding spatulas vigorously. They occasionally chat happily about the shortcomings of the east and west families. There are also a few people who chop firewood and wash vegetables. There were two little girls, and a boy and a girl were sitting on the threshold, playing happily in the mud.
At this time, the girl who was having fun playing in the mud looked up and saw them, and asked quickly: "Who are you?"
Before Cen Xijin could answer, a broad-shouldered woman came towards them waving a spatula. She looked at them warily. Seeing that they were dressed in an extraordinary manner, she guessed it and hurriedly put it away. The spatula grinned: "Are you two distinguished guests from the palace?"
Cen Xijin nodded slightly and smiled softly: "Excuse me."
There are many things that don’t need to be revealed, leaving room for people’s imagination will be more conducive to pretense.
"Ouch! I didn't expect that we would be so lucky to meet a noble person from the palace! If the girl doesn't mind, please come and sit in the courtyard." The woman was so excited that she almost grinned. Up to the base of the ear.
"Then I'm sorry." Cen Xijin's reply was softer and more tactful than when she usually talked to the second prince. She tried her best to be elegant and calm, so as to show the magnanimity of a great palace lady.
After all, palace maids often exist, but grand palace maids don’t often exist—not to mention that she is the grand palace maid personally conferred by the current Queen Mother! It’s simply impossible to find such a legendary figure like her in the whole palace!
So, if you don’t show off now, when will you wait?
"Aunt, I don't want to go in! It seems very... noisy inside." The second prince bit his lip tightly, his eyes resting on the boys and girls with shabby clothes and black nails. He hesitated for a long time before saying "ugly" as "ugly". Quarrel".
Feeling that the second prince seemed to be more capable of making decisions than Cen Xijin, the woman hurriedly flattered him with a smile, her mouth seemed to be filled with honey: "Oh, my little noble, it's okay, it's okay, this woman said They just like to make a lot of noise when they do things, so I’m going to go in and tell them to stop making noise! It’s such a big place, little noble man, why don’t you come in and have a glass of honey water before you leave!”
Honey water? This can be done.
The second prince was also a little thirsty, so he and Cen Xijin went into the courtyard.
But she wasn't drinking the honey water. As soon as the woman walked in, she started shouting loudly: "Brother, come out quickly! Sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, fourth wife, please stop chirping! There is also Shuhong Xiufang, happy sister, Fumei Erbao." Sister Fen, sister Hua, sister Guo, hurry up and come out to meet the guests! Sister Zhi, little Huzi, you guys also come in and wash your hands!"
Hearing this series of "girls", Cen Xijin felt embarrassed and felt like the two of them were doing something.
"What are you doing? What are you doing?!" A thin woman who looked like a stick rushed over with a rolling pin.
I don’t know which one she is in the series just now.
Although this woman was thin, her complexion was dark and fierce. However, when she saw Cen Xijin and the second prince, she was dumbfounded and dropped her rolling pin to the ground. Just now she thought that the men in the fields were going to fight over water. The copycat guy is here!
"This, this, this...is a noble person from the palace?" She had been looking forward to this day, okay?
There are nobles in the palace visiting the imperial palace. They have heard this from their men for a long time, but no one has seen the grandeur of that battle! Seeing that many of the women in the village had spoken to Dr. Liu and Grandma Wang several times, they were talking about it after dinner in and outside the village. They were jealous just listening to it, and they didn't know when they, the women of the Tian family, would be able to touch her. Such great luck!
Now this great luck will come!
The stocky woman with broad arms and round waist curled her lips and gave instructions in a rough voice: "Second sister-in-law, the noble is thirsty, why don't you prepare some honey water for the noble?" Huh, good things will come as soon as they happen. Hurry up!
Thinking that her second sister-in-law also had two daughters, the sturdy woman suddenly lost her composure. Thinking of her big plan, she immediately shouted at a high pitched voice and filled the courtyard: "Sister Fen, please find some clean clothes to wear. Don't embarrass me!" "
When the second sister-in-law Tian heard what the third daughter-in-law said, her mind changed slightly, and she soon understood the third daughter-in-law's plan. It turned out that she had actually set her sights on these two noble people!
A few days ago, she heard that many families in Zhuangzi were driving their daughters and daughters to where the imperial doctors and guards lived. The purpose was to hook up with good men with bright futures... She heard that there were several stinky men in the next village. The shameless little widow wants to come here to visit her relatives?
Bah, why are you visiting a relative? Isn’t it just for hooking up with men?
Then she must not fall behind!
In particular, this little nobleman looks so handsome and charming. He wears expensive clothes. It seems that this child has a future!
So she also screamed: "Fu Meier, Guo Meier, hurry up and wipe your face!"
This battle, hiss, seems a little weird.
Anyway, Cen Xijin and the second prince were confused.
Originally, she wanted to bring Little Meatball to experience rural life! !
What Cen Xijin originally imagined would be the leisurely and natural kind of "picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence" and "learning to grow melons near the mulberry tree". He would also be laughing and chatting again, but in fact there was a lot of noise in this small courtyard. Flying dog jumps.
A group of women rushed towards her... Of course, they were not attacking her.
Except for Tian Hua, who had met them before and was hiding behind with her head down and trembling, the rest of the people were very enthusiastic.
Listening to everyone's flattering words, the second prince also squinted his eyes and was extremely satisfied.
Although words of advice are only true if they are displeasing to the ear, if they are to be listened to favorably, they must be flattery.
Cen Xijin looked unhappy and pretended to cough twice, but he saw a girl in red clothes approaching the second prince with her face covered in red rouge.
Phew, I finally found an opportunity to chime in!
"Unbridled——", ever since Cen Xijin became the eldest palace maid, she has wanted to imitate the grandmas and say these two words. It feels very majestic, but the opportunity for her to say these two words is always too great. There was less, so she took advantage of this great power, shook out a small handkerchief gracefully, and scolded in a sharp voice, "What are you doing, what are you doing? I tell you, don't squeeze in and damage our master, some You look good!”
The girl's eyes turned red when she heard this.
In this way, the originally elegant and calm palace maid sister soon became a arrogant and arrogant nun.
The second prince glanced at her and smiled, hey, my aunt actually looked quite pretty when she was full of energy - indeed, beauties are all born out of competition.
It's really rare, it's rare. Seeing that Cen Xijin was so angry for some reason, the second prince couldn't help but smile and narrowed his eyes. Naturally, he became more friendly and kind to others.
Cen Xijin imitated Wang Xiang's demeanor and stood proudly with his little chin raised, like a peacock. At this time, he heard the two women whispering: "Look, the forest in this palace is really big!"
