Amnesty's daily life
Chapter 181
"grandmother."
Ya'er lifted the cloth curtain, and approached the back room on tiptoe, followed by Bao'er who had gone to fetch the medicine earlier.
"It can be regarded as coming." Little Lingdang chuckled, she was very tolerant towards these two dowry maids who came with her from her mother's house.He tapped the small table next to him with his hand, signaling Bao'er to put down the soup.However, even though Bao'er obediently complied, there was something wrong with the expression on her face.Little Bell raised her eyebrows and looked at her, "What's wrong?"
After Bao'er put down the decoction, she stood aside with her arms folded with a look of embarrassment on her face.
"It's the other side of Chenyuan..." Ya'er broke the silence, but she couldn't help but stop after speaking half a sentence.
Chenyuan is an extremely quiet courtyard located on the west side of Bowlinghou's Mansion.It's not too big, there are at most seven or eight rooms in the front and back, but there is a particularly elegant courtyard.And because the Bowling Marquis Mansion was originally in the shape of a long strip, the west side to the north means that it is very far away from other courtyards, especially the Chaohe Hall where the little bell is now, even if it is a rough envoy who walks very fast, It takes at least half an hour to go back and forth.
"Say." Just listening to the voice, Little Lingdang roughly guessed something, and immediately hooked his lips slightly, and only popped out a word crisply.
"Let grandma go over there." Ya'er pursed her lips, but finally managed to get the words out.
"At this moment?" Although it was a question, but when it came out of Xiaoling Ding's mouth, it carried a different kind of sneer, obviously there was no need to answer, just looking at the expression on Ya'er's face, one could already guess that it was almost inseparable. up.
However, it was already late at night.However, it is already October day, although there are also sayings that it is late autumn and October, but in fact it is actually very cold at the moment, especially now that it is still late at night.
Little Lingdang stood up slowly, when Bao'er and Ya'er saw this, they rushed forward to help her, lest she might make a mistake.
"Don't let people prepare the sedan chair." Little Bell popped out these words lightly, but Bao'er, who was already very soft-tempered, couldn't help but shed tears.
On a night in late autumn, let a person who is already pregnant, brave the cold wind and night, rush from Chaohe Hall, which is located in the center of the entire Hou Mansion, to Chen Yuan, which spans half of the mansion. Today's Mrs. Bowling Hou.
As early as the year when he was nine years old, the historian uncle inherited the title of his father, Lord Baoling.Even though the Marquis Bowling's Mansion had lost the military power that it originally held in its hands, the title was still retained, and it was also given a special gift by Emperor Changqing not to descend to hereditary title.
Don't think that it is easy not to descend to the hereditary inheritance, just look at the Lin family that Jia Min married.The ancestors of the Lin family also had titles, but it is a pity that the inheritance to Lin Hai's grandfather has reached the end. Thanks to the kindness of Emperor Changqing, Lin Hai's father has inherited it for one more generation.If so, when it was Lin Hai's turn, he could only choose to take the imperial examination to become an official.
In other words, from the time when Emperor Taizu bestowed four kings, eight lords, and twelve marquises until now, only the four kings and Marquis Baoling have not been conferred titles. This shows how rare this gift is.
At the same time, this great gift also indirectly proved one thing.
——Uncle Shijia is the current Lord Baolinghou, and Xiao Lingdang, as his first wife, is Mrs. Baolinghou.And the huge Bowling Marquis Mansion naturally belonged to the two of them.
"Grandma, the sedan chair is ready." Ya'er reminded in a low voice, and at the same time called two clever servant girls to accompany the master to Chenyuan.As for Bao'er herself, she is soft-tempered, but fortunately she is careful and patient, leaving her here to take care of the historian is the best choice.
Little Bell didn't speak again, but took Ya'er's hand and walked outside slowly.
Is the soft sedan ready, or is it a thick cotton soft sedan for traveling in winter, and not only is there an extra thick mattress, but also a small hand warmer.
"It's just that Bao'er hasn't come back for a long time, did you go to make a fuss about it?" Little Lingdang saw this posture, and knew that it was definitely not Ya'er's handwriting.Reminiscent of just now that Bao'er left and never looked back, it was obvious that she knew in advance that Mrs. Hou Ye had an invitation, and knew that it was an unavoidable matter, so she simply made all the arrangements, and then went into the room to inform her.
"Grandma, don't blame Bao'er, she loves you too." Ya'er said hurriedly, lest Little Bell would blame Bao'er for not telling her the news immediately.
"What am I blaming her for?"
Ya'er helped herself into the soft sedan chair, and after Xiao Lingdang sat down firmly, she ordered the sedan chair bearer to come slowly.It's already too late, so what if it's a little later in the evening?What's more, at worst, when she turned around and asked, she said that she took a rest early, and only changed clothes and washed after receiving the letter, which wasted time.
Who told people not to look at the time?
Giving Ya'er a comforting look, Little Bell chuckled and said, "What's the big deal? Now that we've called, let's go and have a look. After seeing it, feel at ease, and come back to rest quickly. Fortunately, now It's only October, if it's the twelfth lunar month, in the middle of the snowy night, if the elders invite you, don't I have to make a trip? Don't worry."
These words sounded like comfort, but Ya'er was never comforted at all.
Not to mention, it's October now, and it's not too cold, after all, the first snow hasn't fallen yet.But the problem is that the twelfth lunar month is not far from now, what if the old Mrs. Hou Ye comes out like this again, what should I do?Ya'er was so worried that she couldn't help complaining in her heart that Mrs. Mrs. Hou was a coward.This is in Zhang's house, but which pregnant woman would not rest in the room with An Sheng?I don't even need to say hello, let alone calling people over in the middle of the night.
Fortunately, regardless of the distance, the little bells on the left and right are sitting in the soft sedan chair safely, and they will not be cold or tired.
About a quarter of an hour later, the sedan chair paused slightly, Zi Ya'er stepped forward to ask someone to open the door of Chenyuan, let the sedan chair enter the inner courtyard, and stopped directly under the main hall corridor.
When Xiao Lingdang got off the sedan chair, she immediately saw Nanny Chen standing on the porch.
"It's good for grandma to be pregnant, but she shouldn't behave like this. Just this time, remember to get off the sedan chair outside the courtyard next time." As the dowry maid of Mrs. Hou, she has served dozens of masters and masters in the Hou's mansion. The young Nanny Chen naturally has the confidence to teach Xiao Lingdang, a new bride who has only been in the door for a year, a lesson.Besides, from Nanny Chen's point of view, this is not a lesson, it can only be called an admonition at best.
"What Mother Chen said is true, I understand." Little Bell nodded with a smile, showing a respectful and polite look.On the other hand, Ya'er at the side had a flash of unwillingness in his eyes, but he was afraid that being caught with a braid would cause trouble to his master, so he quickly lowered his head and remained silent.
Nanny Chen took a deep look at Little Bell, then turned around and led their master and servant into the main hall.
In October, the warming dragon has not been started yet, but several charcoal basins are lit in the house. Along the way, there are smokers lit at the corners of each hall, making the whole house warm, but The cold air outside just now has gone.
Mrs. Hou Ye has been staying in the warm pavilion since October.Naturally, today is no exception.
"Why are you so slow." Hearing the movement outside, Mrs. Hou Ye didn't even lift her eyelids, so she spoke first.Regardless of who she complained about, when the sedan chair entered Chenyuan earlier, there must have been a little maid who came in to report in advance, and therefore, it is only possible that these words were said to little Lingdang.
Little Bell was still smiling.
"Mother, I'm late, and I will hurry up next time."
After hearing the words, Mrs. Hou Ye turned around and looked over. After pondering for a while, she slowly asked, "How is Da Lang? Don't hide it from me, just tell me."
"Back to my mother, I called the doctor to come over as soon as I turned on the lamp. She said it was an old disease, and I had to take care of it carefully." Little Lingdang smiled slightly, and said with deep meaning, "It's still because of the previous birth. I'm angry, I don't know which person in the house is so blind, I know Dalang can't be angry, but I want to be angry with him, what kind of heart is it..."
"Okay, don't say a few words." Mrs. Hou Ye never gave little bell a chance to finish her sentence. After she interrupted, she seemed to feel a little uncomfortable, and said, "As a wife, you must be good. Take care of your husband. He will be weak when he is young, so you have to be more careful. I also know that it is very hard for you to conceive now, but what can you do? Sigh, it’s fine if I live up to my strength, and now I can only Let you take more care."
"Yes, I will definitely follow mother's orders." Little Lingdang responded straightforwardly, with a smile on his face from the beginning to the end.
Mrs. Hou Ye looked at the little bell in a daze, and waved to her after a long while, making her retreat.
Only after watching the little bell leave, Mrs. Hou Ye called Madam Chen to her, half helpless and half annoyed: "Mama, tell me, what kind of way is she doing? Why don't you bother me?" Whatever she says, she will always say 'good', 'yes', 'understand'... Does she have a temper?"
Nanny Chen was also a little hesitant, but in the end, she simply said what happened in the corridor just now: "... If it was Miss Jia, she would have jumped up and let the old slave be taken down, but she kept saying It should be."
"Ms. Jia's child is good at everything, but that temper, I really can't bear it. Forget it, let's do it for now. No matter how you say it, you have to look at Dalang's body first, and the child in Zhang's stomach." Whether it's a man or a woman."
……
In this room, Mrs. Hou Ye had a headache, and in that room, Little Bell's master and servant also returned to Chaohe Hall.
That's all for little Lingdang, she has long been used to keeping a smile on her face when she is wronged, and she doesn't even complain from the bottom of her heart.But Ya'er was a little displeased, and when she got back to Chaohe Hall, before entering the back room, she complained to herself.
"What do you mean by that? Did you call grandma over here without saying anything? Hmph, how can you bully people like this?"
Hearing this, Little Bell still smiled, but told Ya'er to get water to wash and change clothes.When everything was settled, Little Bell went to the inner room again, saw that the Shijia uncle was still asleep, and told Bao'er to watch over it carefully, while she herself went to the next ear room to rest.
Naturally, Ya'er also came over to wait for Little Lingdang to rest.
It wasn't until both master and servant had rested that Little Bell said in a voice that was almost whispering: "Is this considered bullying? It was just calling me to say a few words, neither scolding nor hitting, and even a little bit." How could you be wronged if you never said anything serious?"
"That's not what you said." Ya'er said angrily, "It's nothing important, why did you sneak around, grandma? Isn't this tossing around?"
"This is considered tossing? Then I will sneak you back to play. I will let you serve tea in the pantry for a while, and I will let you tidy up the dowry box for a while, or I will let you go to the garden to prune branches and flowers... Are you Aren't you going to die of anger?"
"grandmother!"
"Okay, the situation in the Hou's Mansion is like this, so the name of the Hou's Mansion is empty here, and all power is gone. Although my natal family is an ordinary official family, it is much more capable than the Hou's Mansion. Old man No matter how much people want to make troubles, they still have to worry about my natal family. She is willing to play, so why not let me accompany her?"
"But she is an elder, what if..." Ya'er was worried. What she was most afraid of was that the old Mrs. Hou would deliberately torment people based on her seniority.
"Yes, she is an elder, but I am still a junior! How old am I, how old is she? How many things have I experienced, and how many things have she experienced? Even if I am young and ignorant, I am stupid and stupid, but what about her? The descendant of Chen Yi, Duke of Qi, is now the direct sister of the Patriarch of Qi, can she know as much as I do?"
In the room where you can't see your fingers, Little Bell reached out and pulled the quilt smoked with sweet spices, smiling comfortably: "Come on, I'm in a hurry, so I ran to find my little aunt. Hmph, really Compared to making a fuss, my little aunt's family is not good. By the way, there is also the matter of recovering the owed money. You said that if I gave the hidden account book to my little uncle...hehe."
"Grandma, you are so bad, you are so bad!"
"Sleep, don't talk anymore, annoying bad girl."
<<
In Rongguo Mansion, Jia She went out early in the morning, not because of having fun, but because he was rushing to work in the cabinet.
God is sorry to see you, the cabinet is not the Hanlin Academy, there is no leisure time all year round.If Jia Amnesty had studied as a bachelor from the fourth rank of the cabinet before, he could barely find a chance to be lazy.But since Jia She became a cabinet bachelor from the second rank, the things to do have increased linearly.Or it can be said that based on Jia She's own ability, even if he never sleeps and eats and drinks every day, he will definitely not be able to finish it.
The only good news is that Emperor Changqing still has some understanding of Jia She's ability.In Emperor Changqing's prediction, the advantage of Jia She is that he is loyal to the emperor and patriotic, after he himself is a loyal minister and good general, and that Jia She is a lucky star back then.As for the ability to handle official affairs, to be honest, Emperor Changqing really didn't have much hope.
Even so, Emperor Changqing still arranged a lot of things for Jia She, it doesn't matter if you can't finish it, you can do as much as you can.This ability can be cultivated slowly, the key lies in character and loyalty.
Jia Amnesty would never have imagined that his tragedy did not lie at all in his imperial examinations, but in his so-called character and loyalty.
This loyalty is nothing more than that, even if you ask him to treason for such a coward like Jia She, he will definitely not be able to do it.But this character... what the hell? !
Leaving aside Jia Amnesty for the time being, Emperor Changqing would not be able to play him to death.But Nara Shuxian didn't think about it until after Jia She left, and she forgot to mention the matter of Bowling Hou's Mansion.
Sitting in front of the vanity mirror, Nala Shuxian smiled wryly and shook her head, feeling helpless at her worsening memory.
While Putao was dressing herself, Nala Shuxian looked sideways at Nanny Rong who had just entered the room, and asked with a smile: "Did you read yesterday's letter? What is Little Bell doing?"
"You should go and ask what's going on in the Qi State Mansion." Madam Rong said in a nasty voice, "Master doesn't know yet? It has been rumored that the young lady of the Qi State Mansion is going to marry the Second Master of the Shi Family! "
Nala Shuxian calculated the relationship between the Qi State Mansion and Bowling Hou Mansion in her mind, and after clearing her mind, she said, "Isn't Mrs. Old Hou Ye from the Qi State Mansion? Marry your second son? It's not bad to get closer."
"It's not bad, it's not right, it should be extremely good." With a dark face and a murderous look on her face, Nanny Rong couldn't help trembling her hands when she saw Putao, almost distorting La Shuxian's bun up.
"Sister, don't scare people." Nala Shuxian smiled, "But what's wrong with that marriage? So what? One is the eldest lady of the Qi State Mansion, and the other is the second master of the Bowling Marquis Mansion. Regardless of which one is the problem, what does it have to do with us? If the two families really have the idea of getting closer, even if there are some deficiencies, it doesn't matter."
"Then what if the eldest lady of the Qi State Mansion is aiming at the position of Mrs. Baolinghou?" Nanny Rong showed an extremely ferocious smile, "I heard that Mr. Baoling is ill again, and this has been the case since this year. Seventh time."
As soon as these words came out, Nala Shuxian's expression changed instantly. After a while of silence, she let Putao leave first, and then asked Nanny Rong for details with a sullen face.
In fact, in the letter yesterday, the sincerity was very simple. It was written by Xiao Lingdang on a single page. It only said that she was pregnant, and that Mrs. Hou Ye treated her like her own daughter. Well, later on, it is inexplicably mentioned that Lord Bowling is extremely healthy, and he will surely live a long life.
If she hadn't known about Little Bell's literary talents, La Shuxian would almost have thought that this letter was written by Wang Xifeng.She had read the letter written by Wang Xifeng, and it was the same page, and it also greeted the whole family with inconsistent preface and afterwords. Since her words and deeds were different from her own, she almost felt embarrassed when she read it.
However, because she had only met Little Lingdang before, Nala Shuxian didn't think about it, she just remembered to talk to Jia Shen when she had time.In the end, she forgot about it, but Nanny Rong immediately called someone to inquire after reading the letter.
Mother Rong called her daughter-in-law, and asked about the servant of the Zhang family who was married to the Baolinghou's mansion, and therefore, she got the reply so quickly.
"I heard that the other side of the Qi State Mansion planned to marry the Baolinghou Mansion many years ago, and it can't be said that whoever is superior to the other. The Qi State Mansion is just like the East Mansion next door to ours. At that time, there was only an empty title of the second prize army left, which is really nothing. As for the Bowling Marquis Mansion, although it lost its military power, it is fortunate that the title of the Marquis is still there. The two families are also yours. I wish."
The problem is that the person who inherits the title of Marquis Bowling is the uncle of the historian, not the second master that Qi Guofu favors.
Speaking of it, the Qi State Mansion does not necessarily want the second master of the historian, and when they were tempted, the uncle of the historian had never been engaged to Xiaoling, let alone married.It's a pity that, unlike other families, the fact that the historian's uncle is in poor health cannot be hidden from Qi Guofu, who is his uncle's family.
In short, the Qi State Mansion really intends to marry the only daughter-in-law to the Marquis of Baoling, but the historian who inherited the Marquis of Baoling is a sick child. The risk of marrying in the past.But it seems so inappropriate to give up this marriage, after all, the current status of the Qi State Mansion is also very embarrassing.In desperation, Qi Guofu began to use his brains.
Isn't the historian uncle weak?Isn't it congenital heart disease?Even the imperial doctor said that it is almost impossible to cure it, but if you keep a good life and keep calm for a lifetime, you may still be able to live for a long time.
——Conversely, if you can't live well, or if you can't keep calm, the historian may close his eyes at any time.
"Does the old lady don't care about it?" Nala Shuxian's face was shocked, although she had accepted Jia's mother's partiality, she couldn't accept that her mother sat by and watched her son being assassinated and remained indifferent.
"Oh, the palms and backs of the hands are full of meat!" Nanny Rong sighed pretentiously, then changed her face in an instant, and said very ferociously, "But to us, what is the second master of the Shi family? Looking at the bell Is there no one behind my sister? If you want to make a fuss, you have to weigh your own life!"
It's easy to guess what Mrs. Hou Ye thinks, but she just doesn't want to part with any of them.The uncle of the Shi family is her own flesh and blood, but so is the second master of the Shi family. Besides, her natal brother and niece are also involved.Of course, she still hoped that everything was going well, so all she could do was stand by and watch, and occasionally reminded Little Bell.But she doesn't know that many times things can't be both. She wants to protect both sides, and even chooses to watch from the sidelines without hesitation. But if something happens, does she think she can really be alone?
Taking a step back, even if things ended up going as Mrs. Hou Ye expected, and both sides lived in peace, would it really be a good thing for her?Is it true that there will be no complaints from both sides?
Sometimes, parents will be blamed by their children for being eccentric.But more often, a bowl of water will look even more hateful.
"Let's go to Rikain."
The Qi State Mansion, like the Rong State Mansion, is one of the Four Kings and Eight Dukes bestowed by the Emperor Taizu, and because the two mansions are in the capital, the friendship is not bad.Of course, at eight kilometres, the two mansions with the best friendship must be the Ningrong Mansion, but that is because the ancestors of the two families are direct brothers, which is different from the Duke Mansion next door.
Nala Shuxian came from the Zhang family. Although they were also founding fathers, the four kings, eight princes and twelve princes were all military generals, but the Zhang family was an elegant scholar, and there was not much connection between the two sides.However, the Wang family is different.They were also military generals who helped Emperor Taizu conquer the world. The Wang family must be familiar with those honorable families.
Mrs. Wang would never have dreamed that La Shuxian would come to Lixiangyuan early in the morning to block the door, let alone because of the affairs of the Qi State Mansion.
"Qi State Mansion? Chen Family? What's wrong with them?" Mrs. Wang looked shocked, but what she really wanted to say was, did Qi State Mansion provoke you?Oh, then she will go back to her mother's house and tell her father and brother to break off relations with the Qi State Mansion.
"I heard some gossip by chance, and I became a little interested." Nala Shuxian smiled meaningfully, which made Mrs. Wang's tooth ache.
If this was put in the early years, Mrs. Wang would definitely not give Nala Shuxian a good face. They are also wives of the Rongguo Mansion, so what if they take the lead?The Wang family is no worse than the Zhang family!
However, today, Mrs. Wang really dare not.
Which one is more capable, the Wang family or the Zhang family, may be debatable.But there is one point, but it is a fact that Mrs. Wang cannot quibble no matter what.That is to say, Jia She is much more capable than Jia Zheng, and he can also make too much trouble. It doesn't matter if he offends Nala Shuxian's natal family, what can a scholar of the same class do to her?Tsk, she is not afraid of those pedantic scholars.But what if I offend La Shuxian's husband...
In good conscience, Mrs. Wang doesn't want to die yet.Even if she really wanted to die, she would not seek such an indecent way of death.
"Gossip? Interest?" Mrs. Wang's face was full of surprise, as if she was weighing the authenticity of Nala Shuxian's words.
At this time, Mother Rong suddenly said a word: "My master doesn't like the Qi State Mansion."
—Oh, that would be easy.
After confirming her position, when Mrs. Wang spoke again, it was much smoother: "If you want to say that the Qi State Mansion, that is, the first generation of Qi State Duke Chen Yi is capable, and there has not been a capable person since then. Like the one who just passed away the year before last. The old man of the Qi State Mansion is the only son of the Duke of Qi, Chen Yi. Know how many there are outside the mansion."
"Let's talk about the current Patriarch of the Qi State Mansion. By the way, the late old man of the Qi State Mansion inherited the title of a first-class general, and the current Grand Master of the Qi State Mansion, that is, the Patriarch, inherits the title of a second-class general. The situation is just like the East Mansion next door. In fact, it is not as good as the East Mansion, at least Master Jing is reliable, but there is no one in Qi Guo Mansion who is reliable."
"That's right, the old lady's natal family, the historian of the Bowling Hou Mansion, married the Qi Guo Mansion. It is the old Mrs. Hou Ye who is the daughter of the late Qi Guo Mansion's old lady. It is strange to say , their family will always have a son and a daughter, and they will always be the husband's son and give birth to a daughter."
Chen Yi, Duke of Qi State, the first generation of Qi State Mansion, had a son and a daughter.The son is the old man of the Qi State Mansion who just passed away the year before last, and the second daughter married decades ago, and passed away shortly after getting married.
Next, the old man of Qi Guofu also gave birth to a son and a daughter.Now the Grand Master of the Qi State Mansion is his son, and his daughter is married to the late Lord Baoling.
And now, the great master of the Qi State Mansion also has a son and a daughter.The son married a descendant of Shi Yin, the Duke of Shu, who was a side branch rather than a direct branch.The daughter is still waiting in her boudoir, and it is said that she is an extremely rare beauty embryo.
"...Sister-in-law, you have heard the words of the Qi State Mansion. They tell the truth, and nine and a half out of ten sentences are made up. The old lady of the Bowling Marquis Mansion was full of rumors back then. , They all say that she is from the outside. Don't tell me, others don't believe it, I believe it! Sister-in-law, you have never seen the old lady of Qi Guofu. When I was young, I used to go to dinner with the old lady of my natal family. How ugly it is, but it is a natural pancake face, round and round, just like the second girl in your room, sister-in-law. But the old lady of Baolinghou's mansion has a pointed chin and a melon-seeded face, which is obviously wrong!"
What Mrs. Wang said was so elated, if she hadn't been sure which side Nala Shuxian was on, she might have hesitated, but if Nala Shuxian didn't like Qi Guofu, she could arrange it casually.
However, as she was talking, Mrs. Wang suddenly remembered something.
——It seems that the niece of La Shuxian's family is married to the uncle of Bowling Hou's mansion, right?
Suddenly, Mrs. Wang's complexion changed drastically, and she said anxiously: "Actually, I have listened to the old lady of my natal family about the old lady of Baolinghou's mansion, and basically guessed it. I guess she also listened to the wind and the rain. Just talking nonsense, sister-in-law, don't take it seriously."
Nala Shuxian looked at Mrs. Wang quietly, it was also the first time she saw a daughter-in-law say that about her mother-in-law.
However, regarding the matter of the old lady in the Marquis Bowling's Mansion, Nala Shuxian had also heard Jia Amnesty mention it before.Basically, it can be judged that her life experience is unknown, but the Qi State Mansion insists that she is a prostitute and not an outsider.As for the truth, it is unknown.
In fact, this kind of thing is difficult to say, especially in the case of a long time.
Let's take Sister Ying as an example. This is also because not many years have passed, so most of the elderly in Rongguo Mansion know the real life experience of Sister Ying.But what if many years have passed?Ten years, 20 years, 30 years... 50 years, after the group of insiders are gone, who will know Yingjie's life experience?This is still under the condition that no one deliberately blocked the news. If she wanted to conceal it, as far as Nala Shuxian was concerned, she had a hundred ways to cover up the truth.
"I don't like the Qi State Mansion because their family doesn't intend to marry their daughter-in-law to the uncle of the Shi family, and they also want to occupy the position of Mrs. Baolinghou." Nala Shuxian smiled strangely, "Sister and sister, can you marry me?" Do you understand what I mean?"
Understand!Of course I understand!
This is simply another me in the world!
Mrs. Wang nodded frantically at first, and immediately realized that it was not good, and quickly swallowed the words that had come to her lips, and said with a forced smile: "This, this is really shameless."
It is easier to guess what the Qi State Mansion thinks. After all, even the Rong State Mansion knows that the Shi family is not in good health. Normally speaking, whoever loves their daughter is willing to marry their daughter to a sick child?But the great historian is able to inherit the title, which is an advantage that the second historian, who is very strong, does not have. Not to mention, apart from the title, the Bowling Marquis Mansion also has a very solid family background. After all, the previous two generations Master Bowling is very good at making money.
It's like at the Rongguo Mansion, Jia She is the one who inherits the title and inherits the family business, but Jia She is unreliable!Jia Zheng, who seemed to be quite reliable, could not inherit the title, let alone inherit the family business.
In good conscience, Mrs. Wang was quite hesitant at the time.But before she could make a decision, Jia Amnesty got engaged to Zhang's daughter.If you have no choice, you can only make do with it.However, Mrs. Wang also imagined another possibility at that time, that is, if the big house is gone, she can not only marry a reliable husband, but also be the wife of a first-class general.
This is simply the perfect thing!
Of course, it turns out that nothing is perfect in this world.Aside from other things, even Jia Zheng's so-called reliability, which she cared most about, was an illusion.
"I do feel that the situation in Marquis Bowling's Mansion is inexplicably familiar." Nala Shuxian said with a smile.
Mrs. Wang was shocked, and subconsciously looked at Nanny Rong standing behind Nala Shuxian.To be honest, Nanny Rong is not tall, she is a head shorter than Nala Shuxian, and her stature is not considered strong, at most she is a little chubby.However, just such a short, fat, and extremely stocky old woman gave people a chilling feeling.
"... quite like younger siblings from your natal family."
"Huh!" Mrs. Wang took a deep breath, and immediately replied, "Yes, yes, I think so too. However, there are still differences between the two families. The uncle of the Shi family is weak, and the elder brother of my natal family is weak. It's just a bastard who doesn't do good things all day long. The second master of the historian is strong, but I can assure you that he is not as capable as my natal second brother!"
Xu felt that it was not enough, Madam Wang slammed her mouth, and added an extra sentence: "How can a person with real ability keep his eyes on the title and family property that his elder brother deserves? It's time to fight and fight by yourself, just staring at the things in other people's bowls, you are a useless wimp at all... waste..."
"Your brother and sister are right. Thank you for telling me so much. I will definitely find a big gift to thank you later." Nala Shuxian smiled, and immediately got up to say goodbye and leave.
It was less than a quarter of an hour after Nala Shuxian left before Mrs. Wang came back from her daze.
Is she stupid? !
Ya'er lifted the cloth curtain, and approached the back room on tiptoe, followed by Bao'er who had gone to fetch the medicine earlier.
"It can be regarded as coming." Little Lingdang chuckled, she was very tolerant towards these two dowry maids who came with her from her mother's house.He tapped the small table next to him with his hand, signaling Bao'er to put down the soup.However, even though Bao'er obediently complied, there was something wrong with the expression on her face.Little Bell raised her eyebrows and looked at her, "What's wrong?"
After Bao'er put down the decoction, she stood aside with her arms folded with a look of embarrassment on her face.
"It's the other side of Chenyuan..." Ya'er broke the silence, but she couldn't help but stop after speaking half a sentence.
Chenyuan is an extremely quiet courtyard located on the west side of Bowlinghou's Mansion.It's not too big, there are at most seven or eight rooms in the front and back, but there is a particularly elegant courtyard.And because the Bowling Marquis Mansion was originally in the shape of a long strip, the west side to the north means that it is very far away from other courtyards, especially the Chaohe Hall where the little bell is now, even if it is a rough envoy who walks very fast, It takes at least half an hour to go back and forth.
"Say." Just listening to the voice, Little Lingdang roughly guessed something, and immediately hooked his lips slightly, and only popped out a word crisply.
"Let grandma go over there." Ya'er pursed her lips, but finally managed to get the words out.
"At this moment?" Although it was a question, but when it came out of Xiaoling Ding's mouth, it carried a different kind of sneer, obviously there was no need to answer, just looking at the expression on Ya'er's face, one could already guess that it was almost inseparable. up.
However, it was already late at night.However, it is already October day, although there are also sayings that it is late autumn and October, but in fact it is actually very cold at the moment, especially now that it is still late at night.
Little Lingdang stood up slowly, when Bao'er and Ya'er saw this, they rushed forward to help her, lest she might make a mistake.
"Don't let people prepare the sedan chair." Little Bell popped out these words lightly, but Bao'er, who was already very soft-tempered, couldn't help but shed tears.
On a night in late autumn, let a person who is already pregnant, brave the cold wind and night, rush from Chaohe Hall, which is located in the center of the entire Hou Mansion, to Chen Yuan, which spans half of the mansion. Today's Mrs. Bowling Hou.
As early as the year when he was nine years old, the historian uncle inherited the title of his father, Lord Baoling.Even though the Marquis Bowling's Mansion had lost the military power that it originally held in its hands, the title was still retained, and it was also given a special gift by Emperor Changqing not to descend to hereditary title.
Don't think that it is easy not to descend to the hereditary inheritance, just look at the Lin family that Jia Min married.The ancestors of the Lin family also had titles, but it is a pity that the inheritance to Lin Hai's grandfather has reached the end. Thanks to the kindness of Emperor Changqing, Lin Hai's father has inherited it for one more generation.If so, when it was Lin Hai's turn, he could only choose to take the imperial examination to become an official.
In other words, from the time when Emperor Taizu bestowed four kings, eight lords, and twelve marquises until now, only the four kings and Marquis Baoling have not been conferred titles. This shows how rare this gift is.
At the same time, this great gift also indirectly proved one thing.
——Uncle Shijia is the current Lord Baolinghou, and Xiao Lingdang, as his first wife, is Mrs. Baolinghou.And the huge Bowling Marquis Mansion naturally belonged to the two of them.
"Grandma, the sedan chair is ready." Ya'er reminded in a low voice, and at the same time called two clever servant girls to accompany the master to Chenyuan.As for Bao'er herself, she is soft-tempered, but fortunately she is careful and patient, leaving her here to take care of the historian is the best choice.
Little Bell didn't speak again, but took Ya'er's hand and walked outside slowly.
Is the soft sedan ready, or is it a thick cotton soft sedan for traveling in winter, and not only is there an extra thick mattress, but also a small hand warmer.
"It's just that Bao'er hasn't come back for a long time, did you go to make a fuss about it?" Little Lingdang saw this posture, and knew that it was definitely not Ya'er's handwriting.Reminiscent of just now that Bao'er left and never looked back, it was obvious that she knew in advance that Mrs. Hou Ye had an invitation, and knew that it was an unavoidable matter, so she simply made all the arrangements, and then went into the room to inform her.
"Grandma, don't blame Bao'er, she loves you too." Ya'er said hurriedly, lest Little Bell would blame Bao'er for not telling her the news immediately.
"What am I blaming her for?"
Ya'er helped herself into the soft sedan chair, and after Xiao Lingdang sat down firmly, she ordered the sedan chair bearer to come slowly.It's already too late, so what if it's a little later in the evening?What's more, at worst, when she turned around and asked, she said that she took a rest early, and only changed clothes and washed after receiving the letter, which wasted time.
Who told people not to look at the time?
Giving Ya'er a comforting look, Little Bell chuckled and said, "What's the big deal? Now that we've called, let's go and have a look. After seeing it, feel at ease, and come back to rest quickly. Fortunately, now It's only October, if it's the twelfth lunar month, in the middle of the snowy night, if the elders invite you, don't I have to make a trip? Don't worry."
These words sounded like comfort, but Ya'er was never comforted at all.
Not to mention, it's October now, and it's not too cold, after all, the first snow hasn't fallen yet.But the problem is that the twelfth lunar month is not far from now, what if the old Mrs. Hou Ye comes out like this again, what should I do?Ya'er was so worried that she couldn't help complaining in her heart that Mrs. Mrs. Hou was a coward.This is in Zhang's house, but which pregnant woman would not rest in the room with An Sheng?I don't even need to say hello, let alone calling people over in the middle of the night.
Fortunately, regardless of the distance, the little bells on the left and right are sitting in the soft sedan chair safely, and they will not be cold or tired.
About a quarter of an hour later, the sedan chair paused slightly, Zi Ya'er stepped forward to ask someone to open the door of Chenyuan, let the sedan chair enter the inner courtyard, and stopped directly under the main hall corridor.
When Xiao Lingdang got off the sedan chair, she immediately saw Nanny Chen standing on the porch.
"It's good for grandma to be pregnant, but she shouldn't behave like this. Just this time, remember to get off the sedan chair outside the courtyard next time." As the dowry maid of Mrs. Hou, she has served dozens of masters and masters in the Hou's mansion. The young Nanny Chen naturally has the confidence to teach Xiao Lingdang, a new bride who has only been in the door for a year, a lesson.Besides, from Nanny Chen's point of view, this is not a lesson, it can only be called an admonition at best.
"What Mother Chen said is true, I understand." Little Bell nodded with a smile, showing a respectful and polite look.On the other hand, Ya'er at the side had a flash of unwillingness in his eyes, but he was afraid that being caught with a braid would cause trouble to his master, so he quickly lowered his head and remained silent.
Nanny Chen took a deep look at Little Bell, then turned around and led their master and servant into the main hall.
In October, the warming dragon has not been started yet, but several charcoal basins are lit in the house. Along the way, there are smokers lit at the corners of each hall, making the whole house warm, but The cold air outside just now has gone.
Mrs. Hou Ye has been staying in the warm pavilion since October.Naturally, today is no exception.
"Why are you so slow." Hearing the movement outside, Mrs. Hou Ye didn't even lift her eyelids, so she spoke first.Regardless of who she complained about, when the sedan chair entered Chenyuan earlier, there must have been a little maid who came in to report in advance, and therefore, it is only possible that these words were said to little Lingdang.
Little Bell was still smiling.
"Mother, I'm late, and I will hurry up next time."
After hearing the words, Mrs. Hou Ye turned around and looked over. After pondering for a while, she slowly asked, "How is Da Lang? Don't hide it from me, just tell me."
"Back to my mother, I called the doctor to come over as soon as I turned on the lamp. She said it was an old disease, and I had to take care of it carefully." Little Lingdang smiled slightly, and said with deep meaning, "It's still because of the previous birth. I'm angry, I don't know which person in the house is so blind, I know Dalang can't be angry, but I want to be angry with him, what kind of heart is it..."
"Okay, don't say a few words." Mrs. Hou Ye never gave little bell a chance to finish her sentence. After she interrupted, she seemed to feel a little uncomfortable, and said, "As a wife, you must be good. Take care of your husband. He will be weak when he is young, so you have to be more careful. I also know that it is very hard for you to conceive now, but what can you do? Sigh, it’s fine if I live up to my strength, and now I can only Let you take more care."
"Yes, I will definitely follow mother's orders." Little Lingdang responded straightforwardly, with a smile on his face from the beginning to the end.
Mrs. Hou Ye looked at the little bell in a daze, and waved to her after a long while, making her retreat.
Only after watching the little bell leave, Mrs. Hou Ye called Madam Chen to her, half helpless and half annoyed: "Mama, tell me, what kind of way is she doing? Why don't you bother me?" Whatever she says, she will always say 'good', 'yes', 'understand'... Does she have a temper?"
Nanny Chen was also a little hesitant, but in the end, she simply said what happened in the corridor just now: "... If it was Miss Jia, she would have jumped up and let the old slave be taken down, but she kept saying It should be."
"Ms. Jia's child is good at everything, but that temper, I really can't bear it. Forget it, let's do it for now. No matter how you say it, you have to look at Dalang's body first, and the child in Zhang's stomach." Whether it's a man or a woman."
……
In this room, Mrs. Hou Ye had a headache, and in that room, Little Bell's master and servant also returned to Chaohe Hall.
That's all for little Lingdang, she has long been used to keeping a smile on her face when she is wronged, and she doesn't even complain from the bottom of her heart.But Ya'er was a little displeased, and when she got back to Chaohe Hall, before entering the back room, she complained to herself.
"What do you mean by that? Did you call grandma over here without saying anything? Hmph, how can you bully people like this?"
Hearing this, Little Bell still smiled, but told Ya'er to get water to wash and change clothes.When everything was settled, Little Bell went to the inner room again, saw that the Shijia uncle was still asleep, and told Bao'er to watch over it carefully, while she herself went to the next ear room to rest.
Naturally, Ya'er also came over to wait for Little Lingdang to rest.
It wasn't until both master and servant had rested that Little Bell said in a voice that was almost whispering: "Is this considered bullying? It was just calling me to say a few words, neither scolding nor hitting, and even a little bit." How could you be wronged if you never said anything serious?"
"That's not what you said." Ya'er said angrily, "It's nothing important, why did you sneak around, grandma? Isn't this tossing around?"
"This is considered tossing? Then I will sneak you back to play. I will let you serve tea in the pantry for a while, and I will let you tidy up the dowry box for a while, or I will let you go to the garden to prune branches and flowers... Are you Aren't you going to die of anger?"
"grandmother!"
"Okay, the situation in the Hou's Mansion is like this, so the name of the Hou's Mansion is empty here, and all power is gone. Although my natal family is an ordinary official family, it is much more capable than the Hou's Mansion. Old man No matter how much people want to make troubles, they still have to worry about my natal family. She is willing to play, so why not let me accompany her?"
"But she is an elder, what if..." Ya'er was worried. What she was most afraid of was that the old Mrs. Hou would deliberately torment people based on her seniority.
"Yes, she is an elder, but I am still a junior! How old am I, how old is she? How many things have I experienced, and how many things have she experienced? Even if I am young and ignorant, I am stupid and stupid, but what about her? The descendant of Chen Yi, Duke of Qi, is now the direct sister of the Patriarch of Qi, can she know as much as I do?"
In the room where you can't see your fingers, Little Bell reached out and pulled the quilt smoked with sweet spices, smiling comfortably: "Come on, I'm in a hurry, so I ran to find my little aunt. Hmph, really Compared to making a fuss, my little aunt's family is not good. By the way, there is also the matter of recovering the owed money. You said that if I gave the hidden account book to my little uncle...hehe."
"Grandma, you are so bad, you are so bad!"
"Sleep, don't talk anymore, annoying bad girl."
<<
In Rongguo Mansion, Jia She went out early in the morning, not because of having fun, but because he was rushing to work in the cabinet.
God is sorry to see you, the cabinet is not the Hanlin Academy, there is no leisure time all year round.If Jia Amnesty had studied as a bachelor from the fourth rank of the cabinet before, he could barely find a chance to be lazy.But since Jia She became a cabinet bachelor from the second rank, the things to do have increased linearly.Or it can be said that based on Jia She's own ability, even if he never sleeps and eats and drinks every day, he will definitely not be able to finish it.
The only good news is that Emperor Changqing still has some understanding of Jia She's ability.In Emperor Changqing's prediction, the advantage of Jia She is that he is loyal to the emperor and patriotic, after he himself is a loyal minister and good general, and that Jia She is a lucky star back then.As for the ability to handle official affairs, to be honest, Emperor Changqing really didn't have much hope.
Even so, Emperor Changqing still arranged a lot of things for Jia She, it doesn't matter if you can't finish it, you can do as much as you can.This ability can be cultivated slowly, the key lies in character and loyalty.
Jia Amnesty would never have imagined that his tragedy did not lie at all in his imperial examinations, but in his so-called character and loyalty.
This loyalty is nothing more than that, even if you ask him to treason for such a coward like Jia She, he will definitely not be able to do it.But this character... what the hell? !
Leaving aside Jia Amnesty for the time being, Emperor Changqing would not be able to play him to death.But Nara Shuxian didn't think about it until after Jia She left, and she forgot to mention the matter of Bowling Hou's Mansion.
Sitting in front of the vanity mirror, Nala Shuxian smiled wryly and shook her head, feeling helpless at her worsening memory.
While Putao was dressing herself, Nala Shuxian looked sideways at Nanny Rong who had just entered the room, and asked with a smile: "Did you read yesterday's letter? What is Little Bell doing?"
"You should go and ask what's going on in the Qi State Mansion." Madam Rong said in a nasty voice, "Master doesn't know yet? It has been rumored that the young lady of the Qi State Mansion is going to marry the Second Master of the Shi Family! "
Nala Shuxian calculated the relationship between the Qi State Mansion and Bowling Hou Mansion in her mind, and after clearing her mind, she said, "Isn't Mrs. Old Hou Ye from the Qi State Mansion? Marry your second son? It's not bad to get closer."
"It's not bad, it's not right, it should be extremely good." With a dark face and a murderous look on her face, Nanny Rong couldn't help trembling her hands when she saw Putao, almost distorting La Shuxian's bun up.
"Sister, don't scare people." Nala Shuxian smiled, "But what's wrong with that marriage? So what? One is the eldest lady of the Qi State Mansion, and the other is the second master of the Bowling Marquis Mansion. Regardless of which one is the problem, what does it have to do with us? If the two families really have the idea of getting closer, even if there are some deficiencies, it doesn't matter."
"Then what if the eldest lady of the Qi State Mansion is aiming at the position of Mrs. Baolinghou?" Nanny Rong showed an extremely ferocious smile, "I heard that Mr. Baoling is ill again, and this has been the case since this year. Seventh time."
As soon as these words came out, Nala Shuxian's expression changed instantly. After a while of silence, she let Putao leave first, and then asked Nanny Rong for details with a sullen face.
In fact, in the letter yesterday, the sincerity was very simple. It was written by Xiao Lingdang on a single page. It only said that she was pregnant, and that Mrs. Hou Ye treated her like her own daughter. Well, later on, it is inexplicably mentioned that Lord Bowling is extremely healthy, and he will surely live a long life.
If she hadn't known about Little Bell's literary talents, La Shuxian would almost have thought that this letter was written by Wang Xifeng.She had read the letter written by Wang Xifeng, and it was the same page, and it also greeted the whole family with inconsistent preface and afterwords. Since her words and deeds were different from her own, she almost felt embarrassed when she read it.
However, because she had only met Little Lingdang before, Nala Shuxian didn't think about it, she just remembered to talk to Jia Shen when she had time.In the end, she forgot about it, but Nanny Rong immediately called someone to inquire after reading the letter.
Mother Rong called her daughter-in-law, and asked about the servant of the Zhang family who was married to the Baolinghou's mansion, and therefore, she got the reply so quickly.
"I heard that the other side of the Qi State Mansion planned to marry the Baolinghou Mansion many years ago, and it can't be said that whoever is superior to the other. The Qi State Mansion is just like the East Mansion next door to ours. At that time, there was only an empty title of the second prize army left, which is really nothing. As for the Bowling Marquis Mansion, although it lost its military power, it is fortunate that the title of the Marquis is still there. The two families are also yours. I wish."
The problem is that the person who inherits the title of Marquis Bowling is the uncle of the historian, not the second master that Qi Guofu favors.
Speaking of it, the Qi State Mansion does not necessarily want the second master of the historian, and when they were tempted, the uncle of the historian had never been engaged to Xiaoling, let alone married.It's a pity that, unlike other families, the fact that the historian's uncle is in poor health cannot be hidden from Qi Guofu, who is his uncle's family.
In short, the Qi State Mansion really intends to marry the only daughter-in-law to the Marquis of Baoling, but the historian who inherited the Marquis of Baoling is a sick child. The risk of marrying in the past.But it seems so inappropriate to give up this marriage, after all, the current status of the Qi State Mansion is also very embarrassing.In desperation, Qi Guofu began to use his brains.
Isn't the historian uncle weak?Isn't it congenital heart disease?Even the imperial doctor said that it is almost impossible to cure it, but if you keep a good life and keep calm for a lifetime, you may still be able to live for a long time.
——Conversely, if you can't live well, or if you can't keep calm, the historian may close his eyes at any time.
"Does the old lady don't care about it?" Nala Shuxian's face was shocked, although she had accepted Jia's mother's partiality, she couldn't accept that her mother sat by and watched her son being assassinated and remained indifferent.
"Oh, the palms and backs of the hands are full of meat!" Nanny Rong sighed pretentiously, then changed her face in an instant, and said very ferociously, "But to us, what is the second master of the Shi family? Looking at the bell Is there no one behind my sister? If you want to make a fuss, you have to weigh your own life!"
It's easy to guess what Mrs. Hou Ye thinks, but she just doesn't want to part with any of them.The uncle of the Shi family is her own flesh and blood, but so is the second master of the Shi family. Besides, her natal brother and niece are also involved.Of course, she still hoped that everything was going well, so all she could do was stand by and watch, and occasionally reminded Little Bell.But she doesn't know that many times things can't be both. She wants to protect both sides, and even chooses to watch from the sidelines without hesitation. But if something happens, does she think she can really be alone?
Taking a step back, even if things ended up going as Mrs. Hou Ye expected, and both sides lived in peace, would it really be a good thing for her?Is it true that there will be no complaints from both sides?
Sometimes, parents will be blamed by their children for being eccentric.But more often, a bowl of water will look even more hateful.
"Let's go to Rikain."
The Qi State Mansion, like the Rong State Mansion, is one of the Four Kings and Eight Dukes bestowed by the Emperor Taizu, and because the two mansions are in the capital, the friendship is not bad.Of course, at eight kilometres, the two mansions with the best friendship must be the Ningrong Mansion, but that is because the ancestors of the two families are direct brothers, which is different from the Duke Mansion next door.
Nala Shuxian came from the Zhang family. Although they were also founding fathers, the four kings, eight princes and twelve princes were all military generals, but the Zhang family was an elegant scholar, and there was not much connection between the two sides.However, the Wang family is different.They were also military generals who helped Emperor Taizu conquer the world. The Wang family must be familiar with those honorable families.
Mrs. Wang would never have dreamed that La Shuxian would come to Lixiangyuan early in the morning to block the door, let alone because of the affairs of the Qi State Mansion.
"Qi State Mansion? Chen Family? What's wrong with them?" Mrs. Wang looked shocked, but what she really wanted to say was, did Qi State Mansion provoke you?Oh, then she will go back to her mother's house and tell her father and brother to break off relations with the Qi State Mansion.
"I heard some gossip by chance, and I became a little interested." Nala Shuxian smiled meaningfully, which made Mrs. Wang's tooth ache.
If this was put in the early years, Mrs. Wang would definitely not give Nala Shuxian a good face. They are also wives of the Rongguo Mansion, so what if they take the lead?The Wang family is no worse than the Zhang family!
However, today, Mrs. Wang really dare not.
Which one is more capable, the Wang family or the Zhang family, may be debatable.But there is one point, but it is a fact that Mrs. Wang cannot quibble no matter what.That is to say, Jia She is much more capable than Jia Zheng, and he can also make too much trouble. It doesn't matter if he offends Nala Shuxian's natal family, what can a scholar of the same class do to her?Tsk, she is not afraid of those pedantic scholars.But what if I offend La Shuxian's husband...
In good conscience, Mrs. Wang doesn't want to die yet.Even if she really wanted to die, she would not seek such an indecent way of death.
"Gossip? Interest?" Mrs. Wang's face was full of surprise, as if she was weighing the authenticity of Nala Shuxian's words.
At this time, Mother Rong suddenly said a word: "My master doesn't like the Qi State Mansion."
—Oh, that would be easy.
After confirming her position, when Mrs. Wang spoke again, it was much smoother: "If you want to say that the Qi State Mansion, that is, the first generation of Qi State Duke Chen Yi is capable, and there has not been a capable person since then. Like the one who just passed away the year before last. The old man of the Qi State Mansion is the only son of the Duke of Qi, Chen Yi. Know how many there are outside the mansion."
"Let's talk about the current Patriarch of the Qi State Mansion. By the way, the late old man of the Qi State Mansion inherited the title of a first-class general, and the current Grand Master of the Qi State Mansion, that is, the Patriarch, inherits the title of a second-class general. The situation is just like the East Mansion next door. In fact, it is not as good as the East Mansion, at least Master Jing is reliable, but there is no one in Qi Guo Mansion who is reliable."
"That's right, the old lady's natal family, the historian of the Bowling Hou Mansion, married the Qi Guo Mansion. It is the old Mrs. Hou Ye who is the daughter of the late Qi Guo Mansion's old lady. It is strange to say , their family will always have a son and a daughter, and they will always be the husband's son and give birth to a daughter."
Chen Yi, Duke of Qi State, the first generation of Qi State Mansion, had a son and a daughter.The son is the old man of the Qi State Mansion who just passed away the year before last, and the second daughter married decades ago, and passed away shortly after getting married.
Next, the old man of Qi Guofu also gave birth to a son and a daughter.Now the Grand Master of the Qi State Mansion is his son, and his daughter is married to the late Lord Baoling.
And now, the great master of the Qi State Mansion also has a son and a daughter.The son married a descendant of Shi Yin, the Duke of Shu, who was a side branch rather than a direct branch.The daughter is still waiting in her boudoir, and it is said that she is an extremely rare beauty embryo.
"...Sister-in-law, you have heard the words of the Qi State Mansion. They tell the truth, and nine and a half out of ten sentences are made up. The old lady of the Bowling Marquis Mansion was full of rumors back then. , They all say that she is from the outside. Don't tell me, others don't believe it, I believe it! Sister-in-law, you have never seen the old lady of Qi Guofu. When I was young, I used to go to dinner with the old lady of my natal family. How ugly it is, but it is a natural pancake face, round and round, just like the second girl in your room, sister-in-law. But the old lady of Baolinghou's mansion has a pointed chin and a melon-seeded face, which is obviously wrong!"
What Mrs. Wang said was so elated, if she hadn't been sure which side Nala Shuxian was on, she might have hesitated, but if Nala Shuxian didn't like Qi Guofu, she could arrange it casually.
However, as she was talking, Mrs. Wang suddenly remembered something.
——It seems that the niece of La Shuxian's family is married to the uncle of Bowling Hou's mansion, right?
Suddenly, Mrs. Wang's complexion changed drastically, and she said anxiously: "Actually, I have listened to the old lady of my natal family about the old lady of Baolinghou's mansion, and basically guessed it. I guess she also listened to the wind and the rain. Just talking nonsense, sister-in-law, don't take it seriously."
Nala Shuxian looked at Mrs. Wang quietly, it was also the first time she saw a daughter-in-law say that about her mother-in-law.
However, regarding the matter of the old lady in the Marquis Bowling's Mansion, Nala Shuxian had also heard Jia Amnesty mention it before.Basically, it can be judged that her life experience is unknown, but the Qi State Mansion insists that she is a prostitute and not an outsider.As for the truth, it is unknown.
In fact, this kind of thing is difficult to say, especially in the case of a long time.
Let's take Sister Ying as an example. This is also because not many years have passed, so most of the elderly in Rongguo Mansion know the real life experience of Sister Ying.But what if many years have passed?Ten years, 20 years, 30 years... 50 years, after the group of insiders are gone, who will know Yingjie's life experience?This is still under the condition that no one deliberately blocked the news. If she wanted to conceal it, as far as Nala Shuxian was concerned, she had a hundred ways to cover up the truth.
"I don't like the Qi State Mansion because their family doesn't intend to marry their daughter-in-law to the uncle of the Shi family, and they also want to occupy the position of Mrs. Baolinghou." Nala Shuxian smiled strangely, "Sister and sister, can you marry me?" Do you understand what I mean?"
Understand!Of course I understand!
This is simply another me in the world!
Mrs. Wang nodded frantically at first, and immediately realized that it was not good, and quickly swallowed the words that had come to her lips, and said with a forced smile: "This, this is really shameless."
It is easier to guess what the Qi State Mansion thinks. After all, even the Rong State Mansion knows that the Shi family is not in good health. Normally speaking, whoever loves their daughter is willing to marry their daughter to a sick child?But the great historian is able to inherit the title, which is an advantage that the second historian, who is very strong, does not have. Not to mention, apart from the title, the Bowling Marquis Mansion also has a very solid family background. After all, the previous two generations Master Bowling is very good at making money.
It's like at the Rongguo Mansion, Jia She is the one who inherits the title and inherits the family business, but Jia She is unreliable!Jia Zheng, who seemed to be quite reliable, could not inherit the title, let alone inherit the family business.
In good conscience, Mrs. Wang was quite hesitant at the time.But before she could make a decision, Jia Amnesty got engaged to Zhang's daughter.If you have no choice, you can only make do with it.However, Mrs. Wang also imagined another possibility at that time, that is, if the big house is gone, she can not only marry a reliable husband, but also be the wife of a first-class general.
This is simply the perfect thing!
Of course, it turns out that nothing is perfect in this world.Aside from other things, even Jia Zheng's so-called reliability, which she cared most about, was an illusion.
"I do feel that the situation in Marquis Bowling's Mansion is inexplicably familiar." Nala Shuxian said with a smile.
Mrs. Wang was shocked, and subconsciously looked at Nanny Rong standing behind Nala Shuxian.To be honest, Nanny Rong is not tall, she is a head shorter than Nala Shuxian, and her stature is not considered strong, at most she is a little chubby.However, just such a short, fat, and extremely stocky old woman gave people a chilling feeling.
"... quite like younger siblings from your natal family."
"Huh!" Mrs. Wang took a deep breath, and immediately replied, "Yes, yes, I think so too. However, there are still differences between the two families. The uncle of the Shi family is weak, and the elder brother of my natal family is weak. It's just a bastard who doesn't do good things all day long. The second master of the historian is strong, but I can assure you that he is not as capable as my natal second brother!"
Xu felt that it was not enough, Madam Wang slammed her mouth, and added an extra sentence: "How can a person with real ability keep his eyes on the title and family property that his elder brother deserves? It's time to fight and fight by yourself, just staring at the things in other people's bowls, you are a useless wimp at all... waste..."
"Your brother and sister are right. Thank you for telling me so much. I will definitely find a big gift to thank you later." Nala Shuxian smiled, and immediately got up to say goodbye and leave.
It was less than a quarter of an hour after Nala Shuxian left before Mrs. Wang came back from her daze.
Is she stupid? !
