Chapter 467: Speaking of piano skills, I get excited
Although Xin An hadn't put on a full show of flattery for quite some time, these things had long become her instinct. She sat and talked with the princess for a while, making the princess feel extremely comfortable inside and out.
"Before you came, mother asked me to tell you to visit the mansion often when you have free time. Even my brother and sister-in-law miss you."
"I will. Sister Xie helped me a lot before. When I first arrived in the capital, I barely knew anyone. When I went out to a banquet, I didn't know how to address them. It was Sister Xie who visited me every day and patiently taught me that helped me become familiar with each family."
Princess Yong'an became interested again. "You have only been in the capital for a little over a year and a few months at most. You must have made great progress in this year or so?"
Xin An smiled, "It was all thanks to my husband's help. He organized a party and invited all his good friends' wives to come together and introduced them to me one by one. Among them, Sister Lin Yaolin took great care of me. I was able to adapt so quickly, thanks to her."
The two of them were chatting quite well. Jin Feng listened with sparkling eyes and learned silently. Xin An soon led the topic to Tang Quan'er and her two sisters. He was obviously more interested in the princess of the three sisters.
In Chunhua Courtyard, Tao Yiran was a little hesitant after packing up. Aunt Liu urged her, "Young Madam, is she out? The princess's visit is a big deal. Logically, all the women in the mansion should go to receive and serve her. It's not good not to show up."
"But no one came to invite us in the front yard."
Tao Yiran doesn't like dealing with women. Those who are lower in status than her are very vulgar, like the Xin family next door who are full of opportunism.
She is most impatient with those who are of higher status than her and need her to serve them carefully. She feels uncomfortable with being servile and fawning.
Aunt Liu said that she couldn't be persuaded at all, and she was not in a hurry even though it was urgent. "You should go even if you are not invited. This is courtesy."
"Just go and say hello. I'll wait and see when someone comes to tell you that the little master is crying. Then you'll have a reason to leave. Is that okay?"
Tao Yiran finally got out of the house. Aunt Liu was naturally worried about her, so she followed her all the way. When the group arrived, the three sisters Tang Quan'er had already written a few words to comment on the princess. When they saw her, they tactfully stepped aside.
Tao Yiran walked slowly to the princess and bowed, "I, the eldest grandson's wife of the Marquis's mansion, Mrs. Tao, pay my respects to the princess."
"No need to be polite."
Princess Yong'an looked her over and asked, "I heard you are still in confinement after childbirth. Are you done with it now?"
"Yes, I have been out of confinement for a few days. I heard that the princess was visiting the mansion, so I came to see her."
"Sit down."
Princess Yong'an ignored her. She was a princess, so why would she find a topic to talk to her? She turned around and commented on the three girls' handwriting, saying that Tang Quan'er's handwriting was smart and beautiful; Tang Ke'er's handwriting was like her, round and pleasing; Tang Fei'er's handwriting was beautiful and dignified, "Just now you said you learned to count from the housekeeper?"
Tang Quaner said softly, "I learned some at home before, and then I studied with my second aunt in the capital for a while. Later, my second aunt asked Aunt Cuiping to teach me some etiquette and skills."
Princess Yong'an was even more satisfied, but it was a pity that she didn't bring any jewelry today, and she really wanted to reward them with something.
"What do you do for fun on weekdays? Can you learn piano?"
Tang Feier said that apart from learning housekeeping and management, the three sisters would enjoy flowers and chat. "I learned to play the piano, but I didn't learn it well."
Tao Yiran raised her eyes and said, "I have studied the art of playing the zither a little bit. If you want to learn, you can come find me later."
This person was very excited when talking about the piano skills. Xin An smiled and agreed, "Speaking of piano skills, there are not many people in Beijing who can surpass my sister-in-law."
Being proficient in the art of playing the musical instrument is a good thing, but it is a problem if you use it for something other than the right purpose.
The three sisters thanked in unison, "Thank you, Auntie."
“Woof woof woof~~~”
I don't know how Rouqiu ran into the garden, his voice was filled with fear, and Zhang Yanrui followed behind him, smiling in a way that made him deserve a beating.
Meatball ran to Xin An and tried to throw himself on her, his intention to save her was very obvious. Zhang Yanrui ran over and wanted to hug her, but Xin An grabbed his wrist and said, "Did you forget? It will bite you."
"Meatball doesn't bite, why won't it let me hold it?"
"Every time you hug it, it will lose a handful of fur. Do you think it's willing?"
Zhang Yanrui said he would be gentle, and took advantage of his mother holding Xin An's hand and started shaking, "I'll just hold you for a while, you won't bite me, please."
Xin An was helpless, "Just for a moment."
She picked up Rouqiu and put it in Zhang Yanrui's arms, and threatened Rouqiu. At this moment, Rouqiu was as stiff as a stone, not daring to move at all. He was held straight in Zhang Yanrui's arms, with fear in his eyes, which scared the dog.
Princess Yong'an smiled and said, "Okay, just hug me for a while, and don't chase the dog."
He said he was actually very well behaved and sensible, but he just couldn't stand seeing long-haired animals. He would get excited when he saw them. "He wouldn't hurt them, he just liked to touch them, and he didn't know how to use his hands. Cats and dogs don't like it."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Xin An smiled and said that he understood it very well, "The young master is indeed a very sensible child."
Tao Yiran winked at Aunt Liu, but Aunt Liu pretended not to understand. In her eyes, such a good opportunity should not be given up.
At the same time, the teahouses in the city were extremely lively. Tea drinkers sat together and talked about the visit of envoys from other countries. The word "marriage" was naturally mentioned. On the second-floor elegant seat, Prince Nanguang listened to those people's chatter with a smile on his face, while a beauty beside him poured tea attentively. Opposite him sat Wu Cha, Earl of Pingshun, whose eyes lingered on the beauty.
"The red-veiled girl beside the prince is truly a beauty."
The Prince of Nanguang took the beautiful woman's teacup and put it down, holding her hand, "Hongsha is the most beautiful woman in the world with outstanding talents. It is my blessing that she is willing to follow me."
The joy and desire in the eyes of the beauty in red gauze could not be concealed at all. You have to know that the days when Prince Nanguang doted on her made her feel that she was the happiest woman in the world. The handsome and powerful prince's heart and eyes were full of her, which made her want to always accompany him by his side, and even replace the prince's wife.
After all, the prince treated her differently.
Pingshun Bo's mind was full of the suggestions of the counselors in the palace. He took a sip of tea and shook his head regretfully, "Ms. Hongsha is indeed a beauty, but when it comes to cold beauty and unparalleled talent, she is far inferior to this person."
Miss Hongsha's eyes were filled with dissatisfaction, but Prince Nanguang became interested. "There is actually a beauty in the capital that is more beautiful than Hongsha. Why haven't I seen her before?"
"The prince may have seen it."
Pingshun Bo leaned forward and lowered his voice, "The eldest daughter of the Tao family, now the wife of the prince of Weiyuan Marquis's mansion, is truly a beauty, and her zither playing is unmatched. The prince doesn't know that the young master of Xiangguo's mansion almost lost his life for her. When she was pregnant, she was accidentally seen by the young master of Lord Xu's mansion. From then on, she was obsessed with her, and everyone knew it."
"It's a pity that the prince of the Marquisate was sent out to gain experience, and such a beauty was left in the mansion. Every day when she opened her eyes, she would see the small courtyard. The hundred-jade peony would eventually wither in the courtyard. What a pity, what a pity."
