Chapter 47 The Daughter of the Xie Family
However, after Zhao Ying returned to Qianqing Palace last night, Yan Shuang notified that the queen asked to see her.When Empress Xu saw Zhao Ying, she said that since there was no draft, she could call some daughters of ministers into the palace.Zhao Ying was just listening perfunctorily, but Empress Xu mentioned Xie Zihu's eldest daughter.
Zhao Ying asked Empress Xu, "Is Xie Zihu's daughter recommended by Xie Zihu's family?"
Empress Xu said: "Yes, the wife of Xie Zihu came to the palace and told me a few days ago."
Zhao Ying said: "You will summon Miss Xie's family to enter the palace tomorrow, I want to see you."
Empress Xu was taken aback and said, "In such a hurry?"
Zhao Ying said: "I just said meet and see what this girl looks like."
Although Empress Xu was a little surprised, it was a good thing that Zhao Ying finally accepted a newcomer.In this way, early in the morning, in the name of the queen's summons, someone sent Xie Zihu's daughter to the palace and brought her to Zhao Ying in Zhaoren Hall.
When Zhao Ying came down to court, Yan Shuang led a fifteen-year-old girl into Zhaoren Hall.The girl knelt down and kowtowed: "My daughter, Xie Zihu's eldest daughter, Xie Wanqing kowtowed to the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor."
Zhao Ying didn't call Pingshen first, but said: "Raise your head."
Xie Wanqing raised her head, but her eyes were still looking at the ground.At first glance, it looks like a daughter who knows the etiquette from everyone.
Zhao Ying looked at the girl, although she was pretty, she was not very outstanding, she could only be regarded as above average.Although seeing Sheng Jia for the first time, he was a little nervous, but not flustered.The face is quiet and peaceful, with a temperament as light as a chrysanthemum.
Zhao Ying took out the poems that she had read in the middle of the night last night, asked Yan Shuang to pass them to Xie Wanqing, and said, "Did you write these?"
Xie Wanqing took a look, then said: "It's my servant's clumsy work."
Zhao Ying said, "What about the other kind of notes?"
Xie Wanqing said, "It's Master Yan."
Zhao Ying said: "What is your relationship with Mr. Yan? Why are your notes on the same paper?"
Xie Wanqing thought for a while, and said: "When the emperor asks a question, the courtier should answer truthfully, but the courtier really doesn't know how to tell about the relationship between Master Yan and the courtier. If the courtier says that he is a student of Master Yan, the minister will The knowledge of women is poor, and they are really unworthy; the second is that all the subjects taught by Lord Yan were princes, and the status of the courtiers is even more difficult to climb; the third is that the courtiers used to be full of joy. From then on, the poems and essays can be taught by such a famous teacher as Lord Yan, who knows, in the end. It's just Master Yan's plan."
Zhao Ying said with a smile: "Yesterday your father told me that Yan Luan had ulterior motives, and you said the same thing today. Tell me, what kind of conspiracy is he up to? You can stand up and talk about it."
Xie Wanqing said: "Thank you, Your Majesty. Let me start from the beginning. The eldest son's wife, Mrs. He, is my aunt's cousin. So since Mo'er was born, I have often visited my cousin and Mo'er in the Yan Mansion. One day, Mo'er had a cold and kept crying. The courtier helped her cousin to tease Mo'er, so she came home late, just in time for Lord Yan to go back to the mansion to see Mo'er. The name of Lord Yan has been used since childhood. Hearing her father mention it every day, she felt a little curious in her heart. So the courtier did not evade that day, but met Mr. Yan with the etiquette of a niece meeting an uncle. After a few days, the courtier saw Yan's mansion pond by the cousin Liu was very luxuriant, so he wrote a poem about Yu Linling, and put it on the table in his cousin's study. Unexpectedly, the next day when the courtier went to Yan's mansion, she found that the piece of paper on the table was on the table. There is also a poem called Yulinling by Willow by the Pond. The words and rhetoric are beyond the reach of my courtiers, and the calligraphy is also powerful. I asked my cousin, and it turned out that it was written by Lord Yan. The courtiers were young. I like poetry, but my father and brother in my family are both officials in the court, so I don't care about poetry. Occasionally, I write it, but it is also very old-fashioned. My daughter has never seen Lord Yan like this... so "the pen falls in a storm, and the pen is like a god" The exquisite words. From that day on, the courtiers waited for Lord Yan to return to the mansion every day, and begged for three or four days. Only then did Master Yan agree to accept the ministers as students. But the ministers were not allowed to mention it to the outside world. Afterwards, the ministers So I wrote the finished poems on paper every day and left them in my cousin's yard. After Mr. Yan returned to the mansion, he would correct the works of the courtiers and write a poem. The so-called teachers and students are just like this. In fact, the courtiers have two teachers In the past month, I have only seen seven or eight times with Lord Yan."
Zhao Ying said: "Then what do you mean by Mr. Yan's conspiracy?"
Xie Wanqing lowered her head and said with a reddish face: "It's not that the courtess deliberately lied to the emperor, it's just that I can't tell the truth, please ask Lord Yan, he knows everything."
Zhao Ying said: "You said that you have heard your father mention Lord Yan since you were young, what did your father say?"
An imperceptible smile appeared on Xie Wanqing's face, and said: "It's inconvenient for a courtier to repeat those words, it's just 'what's the plan', 'what's the means', 'what's the plan' and the like, the emperor will listen to the courtier's daughter a lot. Father said."
Zhao Ying smiled and said, "That's true, I must have heard more than you."
At this time, Cao Xiaochuan came in: "Your Majesty, Your Highness is waiting outside the palace to be summoned. The servant has already told His Highness that the Emperor is summoning Miss Xie, but after waiting for a while, His Highness kept urging the servant to report that it was important. You must see the emperor immediately."
Zhao Tao never took the initiative to come to see Zhao Ying, so Zhao Ying thought maybe Zhao Tao had something urgent, so she asked Yan Shuang to take Xie Wanqing to the side hall to wait.
Zhao Tao greeted Zhao Ying, and said: "Father, my son, I want to see you, and I want to tell you about Miss Xie's family."
Zhao Ying was stunned for a moment, then smiled lightly and said, "From yesterday afternoon to now, everyone who sees me has to talk about Miss Xie's family, let's talk about it."
Zhao Tao said: "About more than a month ago, I went to the courtyard of Brother Yan's family. It happened that my sister-in-law's cousin, Miss Xie Jia, also went to visit my sister-in-law and Mo'er. This is how I got acquainted with Miss Xie's family. Every time I go to Yan's mansion, Miss Xie's family is always there. My son sees that she is knowledgeable about books and etiquette, gentle and virtuous, and the most rare thing is that she has a free and easy personality, and never pretends to hurt the spring and autumn. ……At once……"
Zhao Ying said: "Is it a private life with someone?"
Zhao Tao hurriedly said: "No, no, father. In fact, every time I go to eat, talk about poetry, music and Fu, or swim in the lake, my elder brother and sister-in-law are there. I don't even talk to her alone. Speak."
Zhao Ying said: "That means you are not sure about her intentions?" After hesitating for a moment, she added: "I look at her, it seems...it seems..." After thinking about it for a long time, I still don't know what to say.
Zhao Tao understood Zhao Ying's meaning, and said: "I know that she has a high admiration for her husband. In fact, with his talent, knowledge, character and bearing, it is not surprising that her little girl has some yearning for him."
Zhao Ying snorted coldly and said, "I don't see what kind of talent, knowledge, character and bearing Mr. Yan has."
