Chapter 20 The Mansion of the Kingdom of Qian
Li Fei came abruptly, and the carriage stopped in front of the Guo family's mansion without posting before, but the servants of the Guo family all knew that there was a cousin girl surnamed Li living in Kunming City.
A few rough envoys of the Guo family passed by, and the laughter reached Li Fei's ears, and Li Fei stuffed a purse into the hands of the housekeeper's daughter-in-law who led the way, and asked as she walked: "Sister-in-law, is there any happy event in the house today? ”
The housekeeper's daughter-in-law put her purse in her sleeve and said with a smile: "Concubine Guo gave birth to a princess, the old lady was happy, and rewarded everyone with a month's monthly money, they went to receive the monthly money, at this time, the old lady is discussing with the eldest lady, Grandma Cheng and a few girls how to celebrate this happy event." ”
Guo Concubine in the palace actually has nothing to do with the Guo family, but this Guo Concubine showed the appearance of a non-pool when she was a show girl, and each side took what she needed, anyway, the surname Guo was one family eight hundred years ago, and the two families were connected. Now that Concubine Guo has really given birth to a princess, the Guo family celebrates as if she were her mother's family.
Li Fei smiled and said, "I haven't heard this happy news yet." ”
The Guo family is the first in central Yunnan, and everything is faster than others know. The housekeeper's daughter-in-law said a little proudly: "The masters also just got the letter, and after a while, the word spread in the city." ”
Royal affairs, ordinary people still like to listen to an ear, such as the princess of the dynasty, the princess of the emperor today is less than the prince, counting the concubine Guo just born, there are only four, and the first two princesses, Princess Yan'an, Princess Xin'an, all died early, only one Princess Shouchun, Yuan You was born in the seventh year, and lived peacefully to get married. At this time, the daughters of the Guo family gathered in the Xuanxie by the garden, and said that from twelve to fifteen, they would do three days of peace and happiness in Yuantong Temple.
Li Fei entered the Xuanxie, first met Mrs. Zhu, and then met Mrs. Chen, the eldest cousin, and the other female dependents did not need to salute, in terms of relatives, Li Fei's seniority in the Guo family was very high. The pavilion was full of gold and jade, surrounded by beads, and Li Fei only needed to salute Mrs. Zhu and Mrs. Chen.
Li Fei came to visit suddenly, and Mrs. Zhu stopped what she was talking about and asked Li Fei what was going on.
Mrs. Zhu had two sons, Guo Qian and Guo Kun, Guo Qian died in the eighteenth year of Yuan You, and the title passed to the eldest son Guo Shaorong, Guo Shaorong died of illness two years later, and the title was passed to the two-year-old second son, who was also the widow Guo Shaoqian.
The current Duke of Qianguo Guo Shaoqian is only eight years old, and he received a knighthood to study every day in the mansion, the Mansion of Qianguo is actually Guo Kun in charge, if you want to say hello to Qian Tong, you still have to use Guo Kun's name, Li Feixiu frowned slightly and said with a troubled feeling: "There is something, I need to trouble my cousin." ”
Li Fei didn't want to talk about things in a group of female dependents, and Mrs. Zhu didn't ask in detail.
Guo Kun's wife died early, Guo Kun did not continue the string, but married his eldest son Guo Shaocheng early for his eldest son Mrs. Qingpingbo's niece Ma, his family affairs in that room were handed over to his daughter-in-law to be in charge, and his private affairs were handed over to several aunts to take care of through the room.
Mrs. Zhu looked at Shuangyuan, and Shuangyuan stood up and said, "I'll invite the second master." ”
Old Madam Zhu took Li Fei's hand, let Li Fei sit beside her, patted Li Fei's hand, and signaled Li Fei not to be in a hurry.
Li Fei sat diagonally opposite Mrs. Zhu's three unmarried granddaughters according to their age, Mrs. Zhu's two sons have no concubines, and the granddaughters are all concubines, among which Guo Gan's daughter is also the most beautiful Guo Liuguang at a glance, and asked innocently: "Cousin, what do you have to trouble your uncle?"
"You're still young, and there are some things you can't hear, and you can't understand them. Li Fei said calmly.
Li Fei is taller than Guo Liuguang and three years older than Guo Liuguang, if she doesn't want to say it, Guo Liuguang can't pry it out.
Guo Liuguang showed an unconvinced look, Mrs. Zhu looked at this granddaughter, seemed to remember, and said to her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Chen: "March 15 is Liuguang's birthday, and on that day we were still doing peace and blessing in Yuantong Temple, but we collided. ”
Mrs. Chen said with a smile: "Her children's family doesn't have a small birthday of five or ten, so she can get it casually." ”
Mrs. Zhu joked: "I'm old, I'm afraid that I will neglect this girl that day, you have to remind me, I have good things to reward here, and you will also reward them with a good table that day." ”
Mrs. Zhu said two words in a row, Guo Liuguang's birthday sounds like a decent one, in fact, it is just a casual pass, and on that day, the elders will reward some birthday gifts, which is the rule, and then have a hearty dinner with her aunt, which is only the least decent, compared to Guo Yiguang, who passed his fourteenth birthday last year, compared to the next room, Guo Kun's daughter Guo Yiguang, set up a banquet and entertained guests, set up a stage to sing, Guo Liuguang was so aggrieved that he almost shed tears.
Mrs. Zhu looked at Guo Liuguang with such a small temperament, and became more and more dissatisfied, and she was impatient to see her, and it happened that the matter was almost discussed, so she asked everyone to disperse.
Guo Liuguang followed her mother-in-law, Mrs. Chen, and couldn't help shedding tears halfway through, Guo Liuguang was very beautiful, with a small face of melon seeds, pink cheeks, and a pair of watery eyes, big and round.
Just now, Guo Liuguang lost face, and Mrs. Chen lost face, Mrs. Chen couldn't bear it halfway, so she withdrew from the maid and taught Guo Liuguang a lesson: "You don't have eyes, or you don't have brains, and don't have any signs with the girls of the Li family!"
Guo Liuguang said stubbornly: "I just don't believe her cousin, her mother is already the abandoned wife of the Zhu family, and she puts the elders' money in front of us again and again." ”
Mrs. Chen reprimanded in a low voice: "Her mother left the mansion in March of that year, and she was born on the ninth day of September of the same year. If she is not a seed of the Zhu family, is her mother unchaste in marriage? If she is a seed of the Zhu family, it is her unfilial piety to ignore her blood relatives. The lawsuit back then was determined by the will of Concubine Zhao, she was raised by the Li family, although her surname was Li, her origin could not be erased, and fortunately she was a girl, not a boy, and there was less embarrassment. So even if you don't like her, don't use this incident as an excuse, it should be the eldest daughter of the Xuanguo Mansion surnamed Li, do you think you are not comfortable alone? You deserve to provoke the old lady!"
Guo Liuguang was trained by Mrs. Chen, and said in a contemptuous tone: "This time, the Li family has caused some trouble, and they want to find their uncle to come out." ”
Mrs. Chen did not criticize this sentence.
In the Xuan Pavilion, Li Fei was stating the trouble caused by the Li family.
Mrs. Zhu has also heard of the Qian family's robbery and doing small things, and no one can offend the Qian family for the sake of ordinary people, but now that she learned that the girl had this encounter after entering the Qian family, Mrs. Zhu only sighed, and then thought about the crux of it, and asked: "Fei Fei, your aunt's diagnosis is true? The fetus must be stillborn." ”
Li Fei said euphemistically: "Auntie, many people in the family, women give birth to children at all, there are elders in the family who have given birth, and they give birth when they see the mother, until they have a difficult birth halfway before they panic to find a stable mother, the children that my aunt has delivered over the years, many of them are dystocia, some are saved, some are not saved, the mother and child are a life, in the eyes of my aunt, no one is more noble than the other, and the aunt only saves the lives of the living." It is best for the mother and child to have everything, if it cannot be preserved, the aunt will respect the wishes of the family, saying that whoever is protected is who is protected, but like the current situation, it is clear that the fetus is dead, and the mother is cruelly killed, and the aunt cannot be indifferent. ”
Today Chinese New Year's Eve five-year-old Guo Kun is eight feet tall, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and a burly body, he is a person who has experienced the sea of blood in the sword mountain, and he is also an ambitious and arrogant man, the Wang family, the misfortune of the family, will not cause a trace of fluctuation in his heart at all, but now that the Li family is involved, it is the little cousin who comes to beg him, and he is also willing to reach out to help, step by step:" Let Mingrui ride a fast horse and take my name card to Chengjiang, and then find a few doctors here to follow me, as long as the body is there, whether it is a stillborn fetus can be detected, and then I will negotiate with Father-in-law Qian to do it. The Qianguo Mansion couldn't bow to Qian Tong immediately, otherwise his shelves would be too high, and both sides would be ugly. ”
Li Fei is reasonable, but he just made one more request: "Then I will accompany the doctors, I will take care of my aunt, and my old lady will be at ease." "If you want to come to the Qianguo Mansion, Le's will be detained by the Qian family for a few days.
With Li Fei here, she is not only the Li family, but also the people of the Qian family will not be offended, Guo Kun thought so, and said a word.
On the pipeline to Chengjiang Mansion, Zhao Yanheng and Lu Yinglin met in a narrow way.
The two of them reined in their horses' heads at the same time and looked at each other with undisguised hostility. Lu Yinglin took out Guo Kun's name card.
Guo Kun is the general of the imperial court to conquer the west, he does not have the name of the Duke of Qianguo now, he has the fact of the Duke of Qianguo, his name is the talisman of the Le family, and the Qian family does not dare to act rashly.
Zhao Yanheng sneered and took out Qian Tong's name post. This matter started because of the Qian family and was understood by the Qian family. When he arrives in Chengjiang Mansion, Governor Qian will release him immediately, and Guo Kun's name post is useless.
Sure enough, it was related to Qian Tong's eunuch, Lu Yinglin deducted a eunuch hat for Zhao Yanheng in his heart, and he was both jealous and contemptuous of Zhao Yanheng, so he put away Guo Kun's name post, and went forward.
Neither of them spoke, there was a Li Fei between the two, and if they didn't fight, they were restrained, and it was not necessary to speak, but you chased me along the way, and it was necessary to arrive in Chengjiang earlier than the other party.
It's been a white competition all the way.
Although Zhao Yanheng's horse is better than Lu Yinglin's horse, Zhao Yanheng is not as familiar with the terrain as Lu Yinglin, so the two fought all the way without saying a word, but they arrived in Chengjiang at the same time.
