Chapter 378: Royal relatives
Chapter 378 Royal relatives
Chu Nanzhi took a pleasing look, and saw Chang Lao and Nie Lao sitting upright in the center of the hall, and two gorgeously dressed young men and women sitting on the two sides below, surrounded by many serving servants.
Seeing Chu Nanzhi and Little Treasures, Nie Huai'an couldn't help but get up first, walked over with a smile on his crutches, and called affectionately: "It's Dazhi and Little Treasures, why are you here?" gone?"
Chang Yanjue stared at Nie Huai'an with contempt, and cursed secretly: "It's really disrespectful to be so disrespectful in front of the younger generations."
But seeing this old fellow go up to mingle with the children, he didn't care about the juniors sitting in the hall, he hurriedly got up to greet him: "Nan Zhi, come in and sit down."
The four little treasures rushed forward to call "Grandpa Nie", and then called out "Grandpa Chang" with some fear.
When the guests saw this situation, they all showed surprise on their faces, and stared blankly at the woman brought in by the old lady.
I don't know who is so divine that it is possible for the two elders to stand up and greet each other.
Chu Nanzhi casually looked at the guests in the hall, and it was hard to tell what was going on in his heart in front of so many people, so he bowed to the two elders respectfully first, and replied cryptically to the elder Chang in front of him: "Chang Old, slave"
"Sir."
Chang Lao stared at her with dissatisfaction while holding his cane.
It's not used to this little girl suddenly becoming so serious.
"Yes, sir, the student came here to ask you something, old man."
Chu Nanzhi replied obediently.
"Is it about your husband's business?"
Chang Yanjue directly pierced her thoughts: "You husband and wife are really close to each other. If you know that you have difficulties, you will run to the teacher."
Nie Huai'an pulled the little treasures up slowly, and sneered coldly with a calm old face: "If you don't want to take care of it, then I will take care of it."
"I'm afraid this matter is really beyond our control."
Speaking, Chang Yanjue waved to the young man at the top inside, and the young man walked over quickly.
"This is Cen An, the eldest son of Ling Ji Huaishu, Minister of the Dynasty, and also Jin Shu."
Speaking of this, Chang Yanjue couldn't help frowning: "It's your imperial sister's fiancé-in-law. He was ordered to bring five thousand troops to help Jinxiao this time. It's up to him, the commander, to say when the army will leave. Calculate."
"Old Chang was joking."
Ji Cen'an smiled sheepishly, looked at the thin woman in front of him solemnly, and called out respectfully, "I've seen my sister-in-law."
"Are you the expert who taught the idiot how to make jasmine tofu soup?"
Chu Nanzhi heard this person's name with a look of sincerity and fear.
The son of the dignified Shang Shuling and Lin Jinshu's fiancé-in-law, his background is not small, but he doesn't have any pretensions in front of him as a son of a rich family. He is indeed as approachable as Princess Jinshu.
Ji Cen'an didn't know why she asked such a strange question, his brow trembled suspiciously and said:
"Sister-in-law is joking, how can I make jasmine tofu soup next time? To be honest, Princess Shu did force my younger brother to learn medicinal food for a long time, but after so many years, my younger brother still doesn't know anything about it."
Chang Yanjue couldn't understand what the two of them were talking about, so he hurriedly interrupted: "Cen An, quickly bring Nan Zhi along and get to know everyone inside."
"Yes, yes, what Chang Lao said is true."
Ji Cen'an immediately led Chu Nanzhi inside, and introduced to a man in brocade clothes in a blue dress who came up to him, "This is Yin Liuxuan, the second son of the current Taiwei. Stay at Luyan Port to assist Brother Jinxiao."
As he spoke, he deliberately emphasized his tone: "If my sister-in-law is too busy at home, I can leave it to him to take care of it."
"Take care of the house?"
Chu Nanzhi was taken aback.
The son of a Taiwei is equivalent to the son of the prime minister. It is unbelievable to go to a remote place to assist the county magistrate in government affairs. It sounds absurd to ask him to take care of his own family affairs.
A male nanny?
Yin Liuxuan looked at her with a dull expression, as if she didn't understand, and explained deliberately and seriously: "Madam, I have come to Luyan Port to supervise the construction of the new city planned by the imperial court on the orders of the Empress Dowager and Your Majesty. I will stay and serve as Lord Lin's minister."
After hearing these words, Chu Nanzhi had some clues in his heart.
I'm afraid that Lin Jinxiao really has something to do with the posthumous son of the prince who was living among the people.
According to her knowledge, the royal family is probably the only person in the mansion who can have ministers and guards specially appointed by the imperial court, and he is the son of a Taiwei, which is a bit high.
She didn't dare to speak clearly, so she turned her head and looked at Chang Yanjue in confusion.
Chang Lao just smiled lightly: "Nan Zhi, this is the empress dowager's kindness to the Lin family in Luyan Port. You don't need to ask, just listen carefully."
Chu Nanzhi nodded hesitantly, and then followed Ji Cen'an to the two women standing opposite.
Ji Cen'an pointed to the woman in the yellow dress and long gown who was the leader, and introduced respectfully: "Sister-in-law, this is Princess Wanying, the only daughter of Duke An and Princess Yanjun."
Hearing the name of Princess Yanjun, Chu Nanzhi couldn't help but shudder.
That is the empress dowager's legitimate daughter, and even a strong woman who is as famous as Princess Jinshu.
It is said that Ji Huaili, the Duke of Anguo, has passed away for many years, leaving behind this only bloodline, but he was able to confer the title of princess as the daughter of the Duke's Mansion, which shows that the Empress Dowager and the emperor love her very much.
The two smiled warmly and bowed to each other, and Chu Nanzhi couldn't help but glance at her more.
With a slender waist and shaved shoulders, she has a delicate oval face and a slender figure. She is really an outstanding beauty.
Chu Nanzhi couldn't help sighing secretly in her heart: She really was raised in the palace compound, and her figure is different from that of my mother who grew up in the village.
Before she could get out of the woman's beauty, she heard Ji Cen'an pointing to another woman and said: "This is Princess Yuanxi, the daughter of the current great general, and the niece of the Empress Dowager."
His words are concise and not nonsense, and he explained the details of each person's identities in a few sentences, so that Chu Nanzhi can know for sure.
Chu Nanzhi's complexion tightened when he heard that, he regained his senses and immediately looked at the woman and bowed to her body.
Another Qinghe noble woman.
The great general of the dynasty, Tang Yao, was one of the most wealthy and powerful families in Qinghe and the three prefectures.
Grandma has a leg, these are real relatives of the emperor, this time I really can't afford to provoke her.
Looking at the woman's eyebrows frowning in spring, eyes frowning in autumn water, thin face and slender waist, her gestures are graceful and graceful, her charming and charming appearance is really enviable.
Before she could open her mouth, Tang Yuanxi's winking eyes fluttered slightly, and she cast a smile that was not a smile: "Are you the strange woman who found out the tax and bank case?"
"It's just a fluke, I don't dare to be a strange woman."
Chu Nanzhi saw that her tone was a bit unfriendly, so she replied quite cautiously.
"It's a bit self-aware."
Tang Yuanxi proudly put her little hands behind her back, and walked straight to the door with disdain, but said to Ji Cen'an who was behind her: "When sister Wanying and brother Ji's family are going to Haining County, remember to go to Tong'an Village to call the county. Lord."
When she arrived at the door, she stared at Chang Yanjue and Nie Huai'an with gloomy faces. Then she stopped, bowed her body with some scruples and said goodbye: "I won't disturb the two elders and your family to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, my princess It’s just an outsider after all.”
Ji Huazhen was extremely dissatisfied with the yin and yang tone, just about to speak, Chang Yanjue leaned on his crutches and said in a solemn voice: "Send off Princess Yuanxi."
Tang Yuanxi led the two maids out of Changfu carelessly.
