Dajin royal family

Chapter 14 The Zheng Family
He didn't expect to meet a noble person today, so he hurriedly asked: "May I ask what your son likes, and I would like to do it for you."

Jiang Chengxiao said: "Jewelry, yellow and white things, I am used to seeing them. Apart from these, you can find some flower seeds, crop seeds, all kinds of exquisite toys, pictures, and even strangely shaped clothing and weapons."

"As long as you can satisfy this son, the benefits will be indispensable to you."

Although Hu Shang was surprised by the prince's special hobbies, he thought he would not be at a disadvantage when he thought about it. What the prince was talking about was not expensive and bulky items, and he could fully bear it.

Although I don't know if this son's words count, but there is a "Buddha" to worship, it's better than losing money when something happens.

"I understand that I must satisfy the crown prince." Hu Gebao paused and asked, "Where should I go to inform the crown prince?"

Jiang Chengxiao didn't understand the small calculations in Hu Gebao's mind, didn't he just want to know his identity, but he didn't care, looking for Hu Shang today was just on his whim, and he mainly wanted to know some things around Dajin.

"Dai Wangfu."

Hearing this, Hu Gebao opened his mouth wide, this is actually the heir of the Dai Wang.

……

Daiwangfu, Green Onion Pavilion.

The little Princess of Leping is receiving etiquette instruction from a female official. Her status in the Daiwang Palace is second only to the Daiwang, the eldest son Jiang Chengxiao, and the Daiwangfei.

As the daughter of the princess, she has a lot to learn.Etiquette, poetry, female celebrities, etc. She will know all the traditional good family members.

The 11-year-old little princess saw that the female official was posing for a "meet the driver" ceremony and had no time to take care of her. She pouted her little lips and quietly took out her little hands from her sleeves to rub her sore calves.

Beside her, there was a younger girl standing, she was born as a concubine on behalf of the king.

The Dai Wangfei, Zheng Shi, knelt high and sat on the presidency. Beside her was a large circle of maids and maids. Among them, the one who served her most earnestly was a Dai Wang concubine.

The servants in the mansion call her Mrs. Zhao, and she is also Shiwuniang's biological mother.

"Sixth Sister, your mother is watching you." Fifteen Niang reminded the little princess in a low voice that the mother Fifteen Niang spoke of was not her biological mother, Mrs. Zhao, but her legal mother, Princess Zheng.

Xiaojunzhufu Zhongxingliu, because of the title bestowed by the former emperor, is generally called Lepingjunzhu.

It is worth mentioning that the concubines of Dai Wang's mansion gave birth to more than a dozen daughters for Dai Wang, half of whom died young, and not many survived.It's not that calling her Shiwuniang means that she has 15 older sisters in front of her, but she was the No.[-] child when she was born, so she is called Shiwuniang.

The little princess took a peek and found that her mother, Mrs. Zheng, was staring at her expressionlessly. The little princess immediately stopped her small movements and earnestly followed the female officer to learn etiquette.

Shiwu Niang was just accompanying her. She was not qualified to learn etiquette at the same time as the princess, let alone let a court lady teach her.

Seeing that the little princess had stopped to be lazy, Mrs. Zheng took a sip of the tea without haste.Mrs. Zhao on the side quickly knelt down and held Mrs. Zheng's shoulders.

"Mr. Zhao, what do you want to tell me today?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Zhao begged in a low voice: "Princess, there is a younger brother in my natal family who has reached the age of schooling. I want to ask the concubine to give me a chance to study."

"how old are you?"

Mrs. Zhao looked embarrassed, and said: "17 years old."

Zheng's eyebrows twitched, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "Is this a man, and he hasn't entered school yet?"

Mrs. Zhao argued with a blushing face, "I also studied at Jingzhao Webster before, but...just..." She lost her voice as she spoke.

Mrs. Zheng knew the reason why she didn't finish her speech. It was nothing more than Jingzhao Wei's dislike of the small family of the Zhao family, and he was not worthy of joining their Wei's family school.

At this time, one person entered the Green Onion Pavilion.Zheng frowned, someone trespassed without notification, when she saw who was coming, a smile appeared on her face, and she waved quickly, "My son, come here for your mother."

"I've seen my mother." Jiang Chengxiao bowed.

"See you, son." The maids and maids saluted.

"Brother." The little princess smiled when she saw the person coming, she stopped her etiquette, stood up from the cushion and trotted to Jiang Chengxiao's side, took his hand, raised her bright face and asked, "Brother, how can you?" Only now come to save Leping."

She felt a bit bitter, she really didn't like learning etiquette, especially her mother was still staring at her.

Zheng frowned, "Le Ping, how can you be rude to your elder brother."

"fine."

Jiang Chengxiao smiled faintly, took Le Ping's little hand, and led her to kneel beside Mrs. Zheng.

"Leping is my own sister, why is she being rude, I feel close to her doing this."

Jiang Chengxiao clapped his hands, Shenju walked in from the outside, holding various snacks from the grocery store in his hands.

"Oh! Candied fruit!" The little princess immediately became happy when she saw it. It's not that the palace can't afford these foods, but generally speaking, the Zheng family doesn't allow her to eat snacks.

Watching Leping happily unwrap the cakes and candied fruit wrapped in oilcloth.Although Mrs. Zheng was happy in her heart, there was a look of blame on her face: "Da Lang, my daughter's family can't be spoiled like this."

Jiang Chengxiao patted Le Ping's little head, and said softly: "I'm just such a younger sister, who else can I spoil if I don't spoil her."

"You." Mrs. Zheng gave him an annoyed look, and then talked to him, while Le Ping happily ate the preserved fruit.

The two chatted for a while, and Jiang Chengxiao suddenly said: "Mother, yesterday the lecturer told me about the article "Han Feizi". I was a little puzzled. I wonder if my mother would be interested in listening."

Zheng said: "How can I understand Han Zi as a woman? If my son is confused, why don't you ask your grandfather. He is currently the Minister of Dali Temple. He must be very proficient in these criminal laws."

"Oh?"

Jiang Chengxiao nodded and said: "Shan, take a rest in another day, I must visit my grandfather."

Mrs. Zheng smiled and said: "Okay, it's been a long time since I went back to take a look, my mother, we will go back together."

"I'll go as well."

The little princess raised her head, with candied fruit powder hanging from the corner of her mouth, "I'm going too, and Leping is going too."

Because Jiang Chengxiao was talking with Mrs. Zheng, Mrs. Zhao quietly retreated and stood in the corner with Shiwuniang.

Fifteen Niang looked at Le Ping, who was smiling like a flower, and asked, "Mother, I am also a brother and sister. Why did Brother say that he only has Sixth Sister and one younger sister?"

Mrs. Zhao glanced at her daughter, forced a smile and said, "Your Majesty's memory is wrong."

"Really?" Fifteen Niang seemed to understand.

……

After chatting with Mrs. Zheng for a while, he got up and left the Green Onion Pavilion.

Walking in the corridor, he grimaced, feeling that he had become hypocritical again.

The peach blossoms in his yard are in full bloom, and the bees are buzzing and flying around in the yard.

"It's so quiet."

He stood in the courtyard with his hands behind his back, thinking in a daze.Whenever he suddenly quieted down, he could always feel the unique quietness of this era.

It is a solitude, a silence.It's like being in the deep mountains in the previous life, there is no signal from electronic equipment, and you can only stare at the mountains in a daze.I can only look at the mountains, trees and jungles and imagine if there is a story in it.

Not long after, Shenju came to him with a book in his hands.

"My lord, this is "Han Feizi" annotated by Mr. Lecturer"

Jiang Chengxiao reached out and took the scroll, turned around and sat under the peach tree, opened the scroll, randomly found a "key" paragraph and began to recite it silently.

Two days later.

Xuanhefang, the government office of Xingyang County.

An ox cart was parked in front of the mansion, surrounded by dozens of house slaves as guards.

The servants of the Xingyang County Government House who had received the news from the Dai Wang Mansion in advance quickly opened the middle door to welcome the Dai Wang Concubine.

Accompanied by a group of servants to welcome her, Princess Dai got out of the ox cart, followed by Prince Dai's son, Princess Leping.

"See Wangfei." The Duke of Xingyang County, where Xiumu was at home, led his family to salute.

Mrs. Zheng helped Xingyang county magistrate up with a smile, "Father, you don't need to be too polite, we are all one family."

The county magistrate of Xingyang is an old man with gray hair, dressed in fine clothes, and nodded with a smile, "Okay."

"See the princess."

A group of female family members behind the Duke of Xingyang saluted, and an elderly woman came up and took Zheng's hand and said, "My son hasn't come back for some time."

"Mother."

Zheng's saluted gracefully and said: "My lord is away on an expedition. There are many matters in the palace. I forgot it for a while. Please don't blame me, my lord."

"No wonder, no wonder."

The old woman glanced at Jiang Chengxiao and Princess Leping who were behind Mrs. Zheng, and hurriedly said, "Oh, the prince and Leping are also here today."

Mrs. Zheng beckoned for the two of them to come forward.

"I met my grandfather and grandmother." Jiang Chengxiao and Le Ping greeted each other.

The county magistrate of Xingyang quickly helped Jiang Chengxiao up, "Your Majesty is very polite."

Jiang Chengxiao smiled kindly, "Grandfather is divided, Cheng Xiao is a junior, as it should be."

Mother Zheng's gaze paused, and then she looked at Mrs. Zheng. The latter seemed to understand what she meant, and then nodded with a smile.

Seeing this, the county magistrate of Xingyang narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Let's go to the lobby."
