Who said that there are no men in the inner house?

After having dinner with the seemingly kind lady in Qing'an Hall, Zhang Shou looked at the east wing room that was open to the three rooms, and at this time the maids and servants were busy hanging countless lamps and lighting up for a while, and couldn't help but want to ask such a question.

Of course, looking at Mrs. Tai's age, not to mention being his grandmother, it seems that there are more than one great-grandmother, and even if he is kept in this Qing'an Hall, no one in the entire Zhu family will accuse this man and woman of not avoiding taboos.

It was a long time until the women in the room finally retreated, and when he left, there was still laughter outside, and he glanced at Qi Liang and Deng Xiaodu, who didn't know where to put their hands and feet, and then coughed.

"Xiao Qi, how much do you remember about the article you tried to make before? Try to memorize it to me. ”

Qi Liang was just stunned, and all the complicated emotions on his body that had just entered the wealthy family were wiped out in an instant. He took a deep breath and said as calmly as possible: "In addition to the scriptures and meanings of the first game, the government examination is two current texts and three current affairs policies, by the way, there is also an arithmetic question. This year, the subjects of the government examination have just been readjusted, and I heard that it is Wang Fu Yin's new policy......"

Deng Xiaodao sat quietly on the side, listening to Qi Liang racking his brains to recall the articles he had done a few days ago, and remembered his experience of turning around after entering the Shuntianfu household, unconsciously twisting his fingers slightly, his brows furrowed slightly.

There are so many marriage books on file in the entire household, and the marriage books of the top dignitaries and dignitaries are not easily accessible to officials of his level. However, the hard work paid off, and he finally took a hole and called up the case files of the Zhao Guogong Mansion. It can be said that he even checked the origin of Zhao Guogong Zhu Jingyuan and Mrs. Xuxian for three generations, but Zhu Ying's marriage book ......

There is no Zhu Ying's marriage book in the Yahu room of Shuntian Mansion at all!

But just looking at Mrs. Tai's attitude towards Mr. Xiao, it is clearly like her own juniors, and her attitude towards her grandson-in-law is much warmer than that of ordinary grandmothers.

Could it be that the so-called finger is the same thing as marriage, which was only a verbal agreement back then, and there was no time to write a marriage letter?

In the east wing, Qi Liang was reciting his article, and outside the door of the east wing, Ah Liu was standing there. No one asked him to do this, and even Zhang Shou asked him to go in when he entered the house just now, but he insisted on staying outside the door, turning a blind eye to the voyeuristic gaze of the maids and servants under the porch and in the courtyard.

In the main room, Mrs. Tai was still sitting in the center, the Buddha beads were turning between her fingers one by one, but her eyes were a little dull. It wasn't until Li's mother came in that she got rid of that trance-like emotion.

"Mrs. Tai, the eldest lady has already gone back, and when I was leaving, she took care of her again and again, saying that she must not neglect Shou Gongzi. She also talked about the night of August 14, Shou Gongzi saved her......"

"Don't say it!" Mrs. Tai suddenly interrupted Mother Li's words, and then sighed lowly, "When Hua Qi sent the message, he had already said it. I can also see that he is a good boy with a furrow in his chest, courage and courage, and he wants to ...... at the beginning."

As soon as Mother Li heard the three words, she turned her head to look at it, and saw that Mother Jiang was guarding the door like a god at the door, just like Ah Liu on the other side of the east wing, so she hurriedly came back, not caring about being rude, and complained in a low voice: "What do Mrs. Tai still want to do with those old things? How many years have passed." ”

"I can't help it. ”

Mrs. Tai's eyes were misty, and she smiled bitterly. Three-two

"When Concubine Yu and Jiuniang, who were pregnant with Liujia, were close friends in the boudoir, and they were pregnant successively, but they were very quiet, and that day they said that they moved the emperor and Jing'er, and a piece of micro-clothing went to incense, praying for all safety during childbirth. Concubine Yu and Jiuniang both forced Jing'er to escort the emperor first, and the two women escaped in the miscellaneous courtyard. ”

Mother Li's face was complicated, and she said in a low voice: "My lord has been guilty about this all these years. It is said that the emperor is too, otherwise Concubine Yu would not have only one daughter of Princess Yongping but favored the harem. ”

Mrs. Tai didn't hear it, but the knuckles pinching the Buddha beads turned a little white due to exertion.

"Concubine Yu and Jiuniang met Widow Zhang, a talented lady who also fled here with a big belly, in the miscellaneous courtyard. Widow Zhang also took a bloody sickle, saying that it had injured a rebel army. Jiuniang is a little skilled in martial arts, Concubine Yu is not a delicate woman, plus the widow Zhang who was ruthless in order to keep her abdomen, the three women deceived a few rebels to come over, worked together to kill people and seize weapons, and escaped from the side door. ”

The three of them exchanged the bloody robes they had found in the temple. Hiding in Widow Zhang's house not far from the temple, I didn't want to have a labor pain. It was Widow Zhang who desperately knocked on the door of the stable woman next door, but she didn't expect that the stable woman happened to be drunk, if it weren't for the fact that Widow Zhang still had a girl on the stove in the house, the three of them didn't know what the result was. ”

Mother Li still wanted to continue to interrupt: "So every Mid-Autumn Festival, doesn't the master do his best to handle the eldest lady's birthday?"

Mrs. Tai didn't mean to stop, and continued to take care of herself: "Jiuniang and Concubine Yu's child was born smoothly, and Wen Po only said that it was a girl, and put it aside casually. But Widow Zhang couldn't give birth, and Wu was so frightened that he was in a hurry. Jiuniang and Concubine Yu are weak, how can they help, the widow is also ruthless, she actually asked the stable woman to leave her alone and use the knife directly, and when she was born, she fainted when she heard that it was a boy. ”

"The three children were all born prematurely, just a little bit old, if it weren't for the hot weather in the Mid-Autumn Festival that year, I'm afraid they wouldn't have survived. ”

When Hua Qi brought someone to find him, he found that there were three children in the house, one man, two women. Concubine Yu and Jiuniang were strong and picked up a life, but Widow Zhang was bleeding profusely and had just swallowed, and Wu was crying bitterly. But the two girls couldn't tell who was who, and the sober Wen Po was shocked and scared by Hua Qi's forced question, and she didn't know if she asked three questions, Wu's crying housemother was too late, where did she know this?"

Thinking of the chaos back then, Mrs. Tai only felt that her forehead and temples jumped suddenly, as if she thought of the past when the Ding family in the house was mobilized to search for her daughter-in-law and Concubine Yu. And the subsequent strife made her sigh deeply.

"The matter came to the Queen Mother, she made a difficult decision about how to raise these three children, I originally wanted to take the boys to the family, but Jing'er said to the emperor that these three children were born on the same day, the same month, and the same year, and the boys can be raised in the Zhu family, or even the royal family, but in the future, if they are lured by the adulterer's life experience, maybe rumors are flying all over the sky. Or leave him outside and find a good gentleman to teach. ”

"As for the girls, whether they are the royal princess or the daughter of the Zhu family, our two families can pick which one to raise, and it is not too much to be pampered. In the future, if the widow's son is handsome, no matter which girl we marry, it will be a good marriage, and it can be regarded as repaying her and Concubine Jiuniang Yu to escape together, take them in, and invite the kindness of the mother-in-law. As for the widow, wait for the child to come of age. ”

Because Widow Zhang was so kind to her, the Wu family asked her to raise the boy, and said that Widow Zhang had already named the child Ah Shou. Because the turmoil had just subsided at that time, some people in the court even took the opportunity to reprimand the queen mother, so Jing'er asked the emperor to send some veterans over to protect him, and sent the slippery and shrewd old Liu Tou couple to arrange for the Wu family to pick up a Ah Liu. ”

"Fortunately, she didn't know the identity of Concubine Yu, and she only thought that they were all family members of my Zhao Guogong Mansion. ”

Mrs. Tai said as she spoke, shaking her head and laughing dumbly: "This past, except for Jing'er and Jiuniang, what the house knows is you and Ajiang." ”

"Ah Shou has been sick and weak since he was a child, and the Wu family is like a hen guarding the chicks, Jing'er knows that she is also the daughter of the Xiucai family, but she was in trouble and fell to Widow Zhang's house, so she pretended to ask the merchant to send some books. I heard that children can read quickly, but their health is too bad. When Master Ge passed that year, Ah Shou didn't come out. From then on, Jing'er never mentioned the marriage in front of me. ”

"If it hadn't been for my thoughts, I would have thought I was going to take things to the grave. When it's time to pick a good one, I'll tell Ah Shou at 1510. It's just a matter of the table, I have to discuss it with Concubine Yu first, and then go to the Queen Mother to say it. ”
