Chapter 30 The Prince of the Palace (1)
Shu'er Sui Yanxiao lives in a small private courtyard not far from Linjiang Restaurant. The courtyard is not big, but it is clean and unique. There are three cabins in total, plus a front hall for entertaining guests. There are many gardenias planted in the courtyard.
The leaves are fat and the flowers are big, and the fragrance is refreshing. There is another aunt living in the yard, her surname is Song Mingyun, and she is also from Chen country.
Yan Xiao brought Shu'er back. Although Song Yun welcomed Shu'er in, she pulled Yan Xiao and said: "You, you, we are all unmarried, and we have such backgrounds, you bring a little girl back,
If someone says that she is your illegitimate daughter and the neighbors spread rumors, do you still want to find a good family in the future?"
Yan Xiao said: "You and I both grew up alone. If we hadn't met kind-hearted people, we might not have endured much hardship. Now you and I don't have to worry about food and clothing, and no one bothers us. We can take in a little girl and teach her some things."
The ability to make a living, no matter what others say?"
Song Yun said: "It's not that I don't want to take her in, I just want to remind you that you and I are now at the same age. When we were in the Chen Kingdom, we were popular and could live freely without thinking about the future. But in a few years, if we can't find her again,
If we go to a good family, are we going to be companions for the rest of our lives? Look at Qin'er, marrying into Prince Sheng's palace and giving birth to a young prince, she really won't have to worry about anything in her life. If we are as lucky as her, we will be able to come to Chen Kingdom
After getting married, the children are now as big as this little girl. Anyway, since he can no longer live the glorious life of Chen Guoshi, and has chosen the current self-made life, he cannot expect to be able to climb the dragon and follow the phoenix. Naturally, the little girl cannot live in vain.
Drink, how can it be so easy to learn a skill? Although we met a noble man when we were children, we still don't live an easy life. This skill and skill is not honed bit by bit through hard work? "
Yan Xiao saw Shu'er standing aside without knowing why, walked over and took Shu'er's hand and said, "Your Aunt Song has always been a sharp-tongued person. Since she promised to take you in, she will never treat you badly. We are just two sisters.
It's really not easy to live together in this foreign country. If you want to follow us, you have to endure hardships."
Shu'er nodded obediently and said, "As long as I can learn skills and support myself, I'm not afraid of hardship or tiredness."
Song Yun said: "This is the Haikou you boasted about. The children adopted by our sisters can't be worse than other people's children. From now on, I will practice my voice and piano every morning, and I will teach you body movements and dance steps in the afternoon. I think back then,
We are also considered to be among the best in Chen Guo..."
Yan Xiao interjected: "A good man is not only brave but also brave in the past. Music, chess, calligraphy and painting are all arty, and beauty will never last long. It was my grandma who only taught me the brewing method back then, so I can apply it anytime and anywhere. We have another
If you don’t plan to sell her to a dance studio, why should you teach her those annoying talents?”
Song Yun said: "If you don't teach me, I think she is a good person anyway. If you don't get started at this age, you won't be able to learn if you want to learn in the future. Otherwise, let Shu'er learn from you at night the unique winemaking passed down by your Yan family."
How can you learn those 'arty' things from me during the day?"
Yan Xiao said helplessly to Shu'er: "Your Aunt Song is very talented. Probably all talented people are afraid that their talents will not be passed down to the world. If you learn piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, singing and dancing from her, even if you can't become a beauty,
She will definitely become a talented and beautiful woman of the generation."
Shu'er said in surprise: "Really?" She suddenly remembered what he said with a smile by the Peach Blossom Creek on the day she separated from her brother: "Yes, yes, yes, when the time comes, the queue to marry you will be from Yuhe River to
Chu Shui!" She suddenly had a bigger idea: "If I don't go back to Yudu for a long, long time, I don't know how my mother and brother will be surprised when I grow up and become a 'generation of talented women and beauties'.
?”

So the years passed by, the flowers bloomed and fell, and Shu'er lived in Su Qin's house in the three-room courtyard. During the day, he studied arts with Song Yun, and in the evening, he laughed and made wine. He was very busy every day, and two years had passed before he knew it.
She has a very high level of understanding, and although what she learns is complex, she can master it quickly. Seeing how quickly she learned, Song Yun often said happily: "Even if your Aunt Yan's wine can't be sold in the future, we can sell it to you."
Yes, it will definitely sell for a good price."
Shu'er smiled and said: "Okay!" But in his heart, he knew that the two aunts were actually kind-hearted and treated him very well. Although they were very strict, they taught him everything they learned, so how could they be willing to sell themselves out?
Are you as smart as Shu'er? He knows that the more he learns, the better, and the more he can live with his two aunts with peace of mind and for a long time.
She had asked them about Xiao Yi countless times, but the two aunts were obviously from the Chen country, but they seemed to have never heard of Xiao Yi from Chen Guofan. She had no choice but to ask her two aunts about the customs and customs of the Chen country.
, and how to get from Chu State to Chen State. Both aunts said: "First of all, you have to earn enough to travel to Chen State. Secondly, you have to grow up and be able to protect yourself. Otherwise, the journey will be long and the rivers and lakes will be endless."
It’s sinister, you don’t know how many times you’ve been kidnapped by bad guys before you even got to Chen Country!”
Shu'er thought it made sense, so he worked hard to learn various skills every day, thinking about how to earn enough to travel to Chen State.
In the afternoon of that day, Shu'er was learning how to read the account books from Linjiang Restaurant's shopkeeper Mu. A messenger came to the restaurant and handed a letter from the palace of Prince Yu Lingsheng of Chu State to shopkeeper Mu.
It was handed over to Mrs. Yan who was making wine here. Shu'er took the letter home. Yan Xiao and Song Yun opened the letter together, saying that Aunt Su, who married to Prince Sheng's Mansion, invited them to Yuling to attend the fifth birthday of the young Lord Lin Ying.
birthday party.
When Shu'er heard this, she immediately became interested. Her mother was the ninth princess of the Chu Kingdom. She once heard her mother say that the King of Chu, her maternal grandfather, had seven sons, and each of them was named king. Yu Ling
Lin Lang, Prince Sheng, was her mother's biological brother with the same father and half mother, and ranked fifth among the seven princes of the Chu Kingdom. Wasn't his son her little cousin? But she came back to her senses in an instant, and she simply
If they are not their mother's children, what do these royal relatives of the Chu State have to do with me? But go and take a look, it is something new.
The next day, Yan Xiao, Song Yun, and Shu'er hired a carriage and drove lightly to Yuling, State of Chu. Along the way, there were mountains and rivers, the carriages and boats were constantly changing, green mountains and green waters.
The scenery was breathtaking. In just six days, the three of them arrived at Yuling. Linjiang is surrounded by water on four sides, while Yuling is surrounded by mountains on three sides. The distant mountains are shrouded in clouds and mist, making Yuling even more ethereal.
Prince Sheng's mansion is surrounded by mountains and rivers, like a paradise. The three people were respectfully welcomed into the flower hall by the servants of the palace in accordance with the etiquette of Princess Sheng's family. The flower hall was elegantly decorated and smelled of faint lilacs. After a while, an appearance appeared.
The beautiful young woman led her five-year-old son into the flower hall. The young woman was Su Qin from Chen Guomao City, and the five-year-old child was Lin Ying, the young master of Prince Sheng's Mansion. Yan Xiao, Song Yun, Su Qin and Xiao Yi
, were once known as the four beauties of the Chen Kingdom. Before being sent to the Jade Capital of the Song Dynasty, the four of them had sworn sworn vows on the old city tower of Fanjing. Now ten years later, Xiao Yi has become a legend among storytellers, and Yan,
Song and Su also lived in seclusion in Chu State and never mentioned the past events of Chen State to others.
It has been six years since Su Qin married Sheng Wang Lin Lang and moved to Yuling. She has not seen Yan Xiao and Song Yun who have been living in Linjiang for six years. When they met now, the three sisters couldn't help but smile as they thought about the past.
tears.
Song Yun said with a smile: "Qin'er, it turns out that you will also gain weight one day!"
Yan Xiao knelt down, picked up the five-year-old little prince, and said with joy, "Our little prince is so good-looking! He is just like a doughnut! Look at this little face, you can squeeze out the honey."
Like!"
Young Lord Lin Ying has always been cheerful. When she smiles, her eyes narrow into curved willow leaves. The corners of her mouth are like Shu'er's, with a small dimple. She looks cuter than a female doll.
Su Qin also smiled at Shu'er, who came over to tease the young prince, and asked, "Whose daughter is this? What a beauty!"
Song Yun said: "This is a poor child we adopted in Linjiang, named Shu'er."
Shu'er obediently gave Su Qin the salute that a junior would give to an elder in the White Jade Palace, and sweetly called out: "Aunt Su."
