Chapter 60: Personal Thoughts
Aunt Bai was a little hesitant when she heard the news that she was going to follow her to take office. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Because her daughter is not young, if she leaves, will Mrs. take the opportunity to decide her marriage at will? But thinking that she is going to Yangzhou with Aunt Liu, she understands what Mrs. means.
This is to hold Jingli in her hand, so that she can look at Aunt Liu. Aunt Liu has been quite honest all these years, but it is difficult to say after she goes to Yangzhou, and she can't say that she has to work the matter of her heirs. Mrs. didn't know that she had done something to Aunt Liu back then, and it was not easy to get pregnant. As long as he takes a good look at Aunt Liu and pleases his wife, his wife can also talk better about Jingli's marriage.
If you are lucky enough to be pregnant, you will have more right to speak. With his own wrist, he doesn't have to worry about letting the master take a fancy to Jingli's marriage for two more points, so that his daughter will not be wronged. I can also take the opportunity to save some dowry for my daughter.
Heirs...... Aunt Bai unconsciously rubbed her lower abdomen. If you can really give birth to a son, you will be able to be more decent when you get old and leave the house in the future.
Ruan Jingli took advantage of the night to enter Aunt Bai's courtyard, she saw Aunt Bai in a daze, stepped forward, and said eagerly, "Auntie, I heard that you are going to take office?"
Aunt Bai came back to her senses, "Yes, Madame has already told me in the afternoon." ”
"Can you not go?" Ruan Jingli frowned dissatisfiedly, "If you go, won't I tell you to stop every day?"
"What stupid things are you talking about!" Aunt Bai took her hand and asked her to sit down, "I can tell you, after I leave, I can't slack off every day." You're not young, look for the distance. ”
"It's because I'm older that I'm afraid. If you are in the mansion, I still have some dependence, if you leave, how can it be good for her to directly set up a family affair for me?" Ruan Jingli didn't know what she thought, she suddenly shook off Aunt Bai's hand, and said angrily, "Are you still thinking about having a son?"
Aunt Bai's face was a little embarrassed, "I'm here to save a dowry for you! With my meager dowry and the little money given by the house, how can I let you marry beautifully? What kind of place is Yangzhou? The lord is such a fat difference, the lady is not there, and he doesn't want to walk around the inner house to pass my hand? Not to mention too much, if one percent falls into my hands......
Ruan Jingli's eyes lit up, "It's still my aunt's long-term thinking, but with a dowry, it also depends on what kind of person you marry!"
"Don't worry, as long as I watch Aunt Liu over there and let Mrs. think I'm useful, your marriage won't be nonsense. What's more, I'm by my lord's side all day, so I have a way to get your father to pay more attention to you. Aunt Bai was full of confidence, but she didn't know that Xiao's mother and daughter asked Aunt Liu to go to Yangzhou to prevent her.
Unlike Aunt Bai's careful calculation, Aunt Liu was happily packing up her things. All she thinks about is to compete for favor, that is, to conceive children. She is still young, and she has also seen the doctor in private, saying that her body is absolutely fine.
Ruan Guanqi went to the ministry three days later, and the news of the appointment of two Huai salt envoys came out. In the past, some officials who were afraid of the Hou Mansion got close to Ruan Guanqi without a trace, and they pulled up a relationship.
General Xiao happily carried the wine jar and ran over with a family, saying that he would not get drunk or return. Ruan Guanqi knew that his father-in-law's family had taken a lead in his grievances, and he also knew that he was not there, and the Xiao family was helping. With gratitude, it was also refreshing once, and there was no need to persuade anyone to hold a cup.
"Sir...... Hou Ye is here. ”
"What? What did you say?" Ruan Guanqi was a little drunk.
The housekeeper said loudly again, "Master, Master Hou came over, said he wanted to see you, and went directly to the study!"
Old General Xiao's face was also red, and he pointed to this butler and asked Ruan Guanqi, "Is this brought out from the Hou Mansion or is it your own person?"
The housekeeper was sweating, "Old General Xiao, but what is the slave offended?"
"I can't take care of your family's family affairs, but I didn't come to the door to ask for a meeting, and I went to someone's study by myself without waiting for the master's consent! What else can you do if you can't even look at the door!" Old General Xiao said in a very loud voice, and the housekeeper was full of sweat.
"This ...... This Hou Ye is not an outsider......"
Ruan Guanqi understood, and he remembered the treatment of his wife and children in his absence. Thinking of Aunt Jia again, the fire in my heart burned.
"Who said he wasn't an outsider!" Ruan Guanqi slapped the table and stood up, "Now we are cousins across the room!
The housekeeper was really scared, "The slave is not doing well, don't be angry." He actually doesn't like the people in the Hou Mansion either, but the old man values feelings, and he is afraid that he will be annoyed if he turns people away. Coupled with Hou Ye's coercion and temptation, he was confused for a while.
"Hmph, invite someone out for me! I don't have time to receive him!" Ruan Guanqi didn't say anything more, and directly poured wine and toasted at his father-in-law and eldest brother, "Please drink this cup to my father-in-law and eldest brother, I'll do it first!"
General Xiao laughed, and General Xiao also gave a thumbs up, "Good amount of wine!"
Seeing that the old man's mind had been decided, the housekeeper hurriedly retreated, only gritting his teeth to quickly invite the Hou Ye away, otherwise he would have to change his errand.
Yi Chuanhou looked casually in Ruan Guanqi's study and flipped through it. The things here are all moved out of the Hou Mansion, and they are not new. But the layout is very elegant, and at first glance it is not the second child's one-tendon handwriting.
He waited for about a stick of incense, but he didn't see Ruan Guanqi coming, so he felt a little irritable. In the past, the second child didn't say that he was on call, but he wouldn't be left aside.
"Someone, what's the second one?, why haven't you come yet?" asked the Marquis of Yi Chuan to the people waiting outside.
The housekeeper came at the right time, and he smiled over, "Don't blame Master Hou, General Xiao's family is a guest in the mansion, and our master is a little drunk, so he really can't get over." Why don't you come back tomorrow?"
Yichuan Hou was very annoyed, but immediately calmed down again. "Old General Xiao's family is here?"
"Yes, Old General Xiao, General Xiao and the two young masters are here. ”
The housekeeper only said the male guests, but the female relatives did not say much, but this was enough. Yi Chuanhou remembered the bruises on his face that had just disappeared, and the pain on his body that had not completely dissipated, and he couldn't care about some people's explanations, so he immediately became angry.
The family was not a reasonable person, and they drank a lot of wine according to the housekeeper's meaning. If you are noisy, you are not afraid, in case these barbarians make a move, you will be the one who suffers. It's better to leave first, and then slowly figure it out!
