Chapter 418: Changes in the He Family
Yuan gradually tugged at the corners of his mouth, "In the past, Concubine De's status in the palace was unrivaled by Concubine Xian, who naturally avoided her edge, but in the past few years, seeing that Concubine De's favor was far less than at the beginning, and the six princes won His Majesty's favor again, where could Concubine Xian endure it? Some time ago, it may be because the five princes were in power in the east, and the faction of Concubine Xian suddenly became stronger, and there was a call for the crown prince in the court, and Concubine De couldn't resist it and had to recruit the five princes back to Beijing. ”
He Linwan couldn't help but think of the fact that the Six Princes' faction lost the Wendeng camp, which should also be one of the reasons why Concubine Xian suddenly had a seizure.
In this way, the five princes returned to Beijing from Donglin, and it was not easy to go back again.
"Now that the fight between the two palaces is fierce, you still have to avoid as far as you want. Speaking of this, Yuan gradually couldn't help but sigh.
"What's wrong?" He Lin couldn't help but ask when he saw that his always comfortable expression was a little depressed.
Yuan gradually smiled bitterly: "You should know that Xiang'er was assigned to marry the four princes, if we let the Yuan family choose it ourselves, it is impossible to choose the four princes no matter what." Concubine Hui, the biological mother of the four princes, has always obeyed Concubine De, and the Yuan family and the four princes are involved in the relationship between the in-laws, isn't it equivalent to putting a label on the body of Concubine De?"
He Linwan couldn't help but be silent when he heard this.
"Forget it, don't mention these bad things! I still have to go back to guard the city gate, maybe I can catch Li Heng's fat sheep, it's better to fall into my hands than him to fall into someone else's hands." ”
"Fat sheep" Li Heng gritted his teeth on the side.
He Linwan smiled slightly, and said, "Brother Yuan is easy to go." ”
Yuan gradually waved his hand and planned to get on the horse, but he didn't know what he thought of, he turned around again, thought about it, and whispered to He Linwan: "Although I think you shouldn't be able to meet Li Xiaoheng, but what if? If you see him, help me remind him, and just say...... Beware of the people around the prince of Jin. ”
He Linwan was shocked when he heard this, and asked, "What does Brother Yuan mean by this?"
Yuan gradually shook his head, "I only know so much, as for who it is, I don't know in my heart, anyway, it's always right for him to be careful, so as not to be sold and help the people." ”
After Yuan gradually finished saying this, he said no more, and neatly turned over his horse and went in the direction of the city gate.
He Linwan frowned at Yuan Yan's words.
Li Heng waited for Yuan to gradually leave before quietly moving in front of He Linwan, "Spicy eggs and dried shrimp?"
The last sentence just now was said in a very low voice, and Li Heng, who was hiding behind the carriage, did not hear it.
He Linwan thought for a while and said to him: "The matter of your disguise, except for a few of us who are here today, don't let others know, and don't contact any old people in the Jin Palace. ”
Li Heng was silent for a moment when he heard this, and nodded with a deep face: "Well, I send it, I have a companion rabbit!"
He Linwan looked at Li Heng in surprise.
Li Heng looked indignantly in the direction where Yuan gradually left, "Luan Dajie pot with rabbit!"
He Lin couldn't cry or laugh at night.
When He Linwan's carriage returned to He's house, the housekeeper who got the news was already waiting at the door, instructing the coachman how to park the car, and calling the servants in the house to come over to help carry the luggage.
He Linwan got out of the car at the second gate, and the housekeeper and a daughter-in-law hurriedly followed, and the daughter-in-law came up to greet He Linwan with a smile on her face: "Big girl, sixth young master! You are back, this morning, Mrs. heard a magpie chirping in the treetops outside the window, so she specially ordered the slave maid to guard the door, saying that the young master and young lady should come back today!
He Linwan glanced at her when she heard this, and found that it was a raw face, and the housekeeper said in a timely manner: "Big girl, this is the sister-in-law Lan who is serving by Madame's side, she used to help Madame take care of the dowry shop outside, you may have seen little, I don't remember." ”
When He Linwan heard them call Mrs., she knew that they should be referring to her grandmother, not the second lady, Qin. She knew this housekeeper, who was the steward of the outer court, and her grandfather's confidant, whom she had met several times before, and who was not as thoughtful and meticulous as she was today, although he was respectful to her.
As for this Lan sister-in-law, it was really the first time she had seen her, after all, not long after she woke up from the He family, her grandmother had lost power. Looking at the current situation, Mrs. Bo must have regained power in the He family.
Thinking so in his heart, He Linwan smiled and nodded, "There is Steward Lao and Sister-in-law Lan, let's go and meet a few elders." ”
Sister-in-law Lan seemed to be stunned when she saw He Linwan being so kind, and then immediately said happily: "Eh! The slave maid will first lead the eldest lady and the sixth young master to meet the old lady, and then go to meet the uncle and the lady." Huh, who is this little boy?"
Sister-in-law Lan saw Yang Chengjie standing behind He Linwan.
He Linwan instructed Chunxiao to take Li Heng and them back to the West Courtyard first, and said to Sister-in-law Lan: "This is my master Aunt Ying's nephew, who came to the house as a guest, and I will take him with me to say hello to the elders." ”
Sister-in-law Lan looked at Yang Chengjie and saw that the child was good-looking, as if he had come out of a big family, so she didn't ask more, just smiled and said hello, and led them to the inner courtyard.
Halfway down the road, He Linwan suddenly paused and asked, "Didn't you go to Fueiyuan to see the old lady?"
Sister-in-law Lan hurriedly said: "If you go back to the girl, you are going to see the old lady, but the old lady moved to Yannian Hall to live in ago." ”
He Linwan was a little surprised when he heard this, the old lady used to live alone in Fueiyuan. Originally, it stands to reason that after the death of the old marquis, the old lady should move to Yannian Hall and give up Fueiyuan to her son and daughter-in-law, but the old lady has always pretended to be deaf and dumb and refused to move out, and Mrs. Bo has never mentioned this matter. He Linwan thought that the old lady would stay forever, and didn't want to move?
It seems that during the time when they went to the east, the house was also very lively.
He Linwan originally thought that the old lady had always been cold to her and might not see her, but she didn't want the maid who went in to report it not long before she came out and said that the old lady let her in.
Sister-in-law Lan was waiting outside, and He Linwan took Xiaohuzi and Yang Chengjie to go.
In Yannian Hall, there is no longer the liveliness of Furong Courtyard in the past, He Linwan did not see the second lady who always accompanied the old lady here, nor did he see the fourth wife who liked to please the old lady, but unexpectedly saw the second wife Cao, who almost did not appear in the old lady's courtyard.
If you want to say who is the most popular with the old lady among the granddaughters-in-law, it must be the old lady's niece Cao. It's a pity that the Cao family is not very close to the old lady, and she doesn't appear in front of the He family much on weekdays, I heard that she has not been in good health, and she didn't even follow the second master when he went to office, and He Linwan rarely saw her in person.
