Chapter 53: Reactions from all sides
If a courtier is rejected by the emperor, it is tantamount to declaring that his political career has no light from now on. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Under normal circumstances, the big family would choose to exile this child, away from the capital, away from the emperor's sight, so as not to anger the entire family.
"Mother, look at this...... Marquis Yichuan came back from the palace and went directly to the old lady's courtyard.
The old lady's face flickered in the light of the lamp, and she looked at her son, who had recorded all her hopes. "Is this news true?"
Marquis Yichuan nodded, "It was said by the prince who served in His Majesty's Heart Cultivation Palace, and the second brother is afraid that this time it will be ...... I'm afraid it's hard to say what will happen next. The prince said that His Majesty had dropped his favorite set of teacups. ā
The old lady unconsciously clenched the handkerchief in her hand, "You can't let the second child be alone, and it will affect the entire Yichuan Hou Mansion!"
Yichuan Hou quietly breathed a sigh of relief, "Then what should we do at this moment?"
"You go back first, don't go out tomorrow. The old woman waved her hand, her face a little tired.
Yi Chuanhou said a few words of comfort and walked quickly back to the courtyard of the big house.
On the second day, after Ruan Jingxin got Dongfang Xu's reply, Mama Wu, who was next to the old lady, personally came to invite Xiao Shi to go to Ronghui Courtyard.
Xiao Shi frowned, Ruan Jingxin didn't say anything, just followed. After Mama Wu saw Ruan Jingxin, she stopped talking for a while, and finally didn't say anything.
The old lady was a little displeased when she saw Ruan Jingxin, "What are you doing here?"
Ruan Jingxin saluted in a proper manner, raised her head and showed red eyes, "Grandmother, I'm afraid of ......"
The old lady still has some liking for this granddaughter, but she is a person in the second room after all. She sighed. "Go and stand aside, I have something to say to your mother. ā
Ruan Jingxin stood obediently, and Xiao didn't sit down after leaving, just stood in the middle of the hall with her head bowed.
The old lady sighed heavily before she spoke, "Xiao, you also know the situation of the second child, what are your plans?"
"The second master will be fine. Shaw's voice was faint, but firm.
"Shaw...... I can't bet on the entire Yichuan Marquis Mansion. The old lady's voice was low, and there was unmistakable determination in her tone.
Xiao Shi raised his head suddenly, his eyes were full of resentment and sadness, "Old lady, after so many years, I really don't understand, why didn't the second master summon you to see him? If you want to say it's because of me, but what if I didn't marry him? You also don't care about him at all, if it weren't for the old marquis's love, the second master still doesn't know if he can make a living......
"Xiao Shi!" the old lady's voice sharply interrupted Xiao Shi's words, "Do you know what you're talking about! Hmph, my own son, even if he is negligent, is still my son! When you talk like this, is there any elder and younger in your eyes, and is there me as a mother-in-law!"
Xiao's tears came out of her eyes, not for herself, but for her husband. Just when his future was uncertain and life and death were unpredictable, the first to give up on him was his mother. How sad and ridiculous!
"What the old lady wants to say, just say it. Xiao Shi remembered what his daughter said, and suppressed the anger and sorrow in his heart, "The second master is not here, everything is decided by the old lady." ā
"Actually, this matter is not necessarily a bad thing. The old lady spoke slowly, "The second child, if this matter is big and involves the house, no one will be able to get benefits." Now I am taking this step for your sake. ā
Xiao Shi smiled sarcastically, "The old lady is merciful. ā
The old lady didn't care about Xiao's attitude, and continued, "If it's really the second child who has been convicted because of this. With the Hou Mansion here, your family will not be looked down upon. ā
To put it bluntly, it is to abandon the car and protect the handsome, what do you do if it sounds so good! Ruan Jingxin silently rolled her eyes. Although she was also angry with the old lady's attitude, she still had some faint expectations. It's just that the people who have separated their families, if they are convicted, I am afraid that the Yichuan Marquis Mansion will still not be able to get rid of the relationship. What's more, it's a home in this stall. Furthermore, if the family is separated, where is the reason for only dividing the second room? Isn't this an obvious outcast of the second room? Aren't you afraid that others will look down on the Hou Mansion?
Thinking of this, Ruan Jingxin quietly looked up at Mama Ding who was standing behind the old lady. Mama Ding nodded almost invisibly, signaling her to wait with peace of mind.
"The old lady plans to divide our second room, or will she expel us from the clan?" Xiao Shi's words were sharp, and he didn't have a good impression of the old lady.
The old lady was also angry, and said angrily, "I don't plan to watch my son die!
Ruan Jingxin hurriedly stepped forward to stop Xiao from being too impulsive, and said in a low voice, "Mother, let grandmother finish speaking, I believe in grandmother." ā
The old lady looked at this granddaughter who was the only one in the second room who gave her a little pity, and her heart was also a little touched. But after so many years, where can the knot be untied so easily? She tried her best to speak in a flat tone, "The old marquis has always had a knot in his heart before, that is, his brother has been lonely all his life, and he has not even inherited the incense...... The second grandfather died young, although he did not leave any property, but the previous mansion is still there. ā
Ruan Jingxin's eyes lit up! This is really out of touch with the Yichuan Marquis Mansion. From then on, they were the same people! She had never thought of such a good thing! This old lady could be regarded as a crooked match for Ruan Jingxin's heart.
Xiao didn't expect so much, and he was still arguing with reason. Ruan Jingxin saw the old lady's resolute attitude, so she didn't speak, making her mother completely desperate for the old lady and the Hou Mansion. I hope that after something really happens to the Hou Mansion in the future, my mother will not be emotional.
For Ruan Jingxin, the Yichuan Marquis Mansion is a quagmire, and the sooner she detaches, the better. In this life, she will never let the second prince come out, and even the family with the big house will not let go easily. This time it's really a good thing that is hard to find with a lantern.
Although the second old lady died young, it was because he insisted on joining the army in his early years, and he had been gone for many years, but when he came back, he was already a general of the fourth grade. Later, because he saved the emperor who drove the expedition, he had a royal throne. It's just that he died on the battlefield before he had time to be entitled, and he didn't have time to marry a wife and have children.
Fortunately, after the second old lady became a general, he bought his own house. It's just that more than 20 years have passed, and I don't know if the house can still be inhabited. Even if it can't be inhabited, this house on East Fourth Street is still worth a lot of silver.
