Chapter 60: Preparation

Because of the lack of choice of words during the day, Cui's could only spend the night in the cold ancestral hall. If it was the Wang family who gave this order, then she would dare to make a fuss and bargain, but this disposition was decided by Anguo's father-in-law, if she dared to say a "no", Aunt Wan, who came to pass the word, had already said it, and the lord gave her two choices: either go to the ancestral hall and kneel, or roll up and leave!

Cui Shi was dumbfounded, she was not less aggrieved when she married her concubine, but if she was taken home, how could the Korean government still have a foothold? When the time came, she could only hang herself with a rope! So she didn't dare to say a word, and obediently rolled to kneel in the ancestral hall.

Cui's is honest, but Aunt Zhang's side is angry. However, she is not like Wang who is angry with the things in the house, which does not conform to her image and spoils things, she just sits expressionlessly in the shadow of the corner of the room, silent, as if she has entered another world, only the twisted silk handkerchief in her hand leaks the anger in her heart at the moment.

Shui Zhi has served her for many years and knows her temper best, and when she saw her like this, she gently persuaded: "Auntie, don't take it too seriously, the slave maid said something arrogant, the eldest grandmother did not do it properly this time, Mrs. Situ is a guest or an elder, no matter how she should not curse people in front of her, if this is spread out, where will the face of our Guogong Mansion be? ”

"I'm not angry about this!" Aunt Zhang's voice was not as soft as before, but there was a hint of coldness, "I'm so angry that Cui's thing can't be on the table! It's just that when she saw that the second room gave more silver, she wanted to rob it like a wild dog saw meat, and she didn't have to think about it to be someone's dowry, the young lady had her in-laws and her husband under her, and there was a second uncle staring at our house with her eyes open for fear that she would be a little wronged, it was too late for such a person to win over and show weakness, and the idiot of the Cui family knew to take advantage, and she didn't want to think that if the uncle's business was done, the entire Anguo Mansion would be hers, what did she want! She was so anxious? She couldn't wait for a while!

Shui Zhi didn't look down on Cui's style in her heart, but Aunt Zhang could say this, but she couldn't show it at all, so she could only persuade: "This can't be all blamed on the eldest grandmother, who would have thought that the young lady would be so generous, and she looked at her on weekdays and was at odds with the prince, and this shot gave the third lady tens of thousands of taels, who didn't blush? ”

Aunt Zhang's beautiful brows suddenly frowned when she heard this, "You reminded me when you said that." If Mrs. Cui's nonsense like usual had an early seizure, but now she somehow learned to be smart, first pretending to be sick and asking the doctor, and then waiting for the master to come back and ask the reason from the next person to personally dispose of Cui's family, this kind of means can't be used according to Mrs.'s temperament, who do you say gave her the idea?"

"Isn't it a young lady?"

Aunt Zhang also felt in her heart that this was Situ Ningbing's handiwork, but she couldn't figure it out, she had already figured out Wang's temperament over the years, this woman had an unreasonable stubbornness, if she looked at a person unpleasantly, no matter how reasonable that person said, she would not listen. If this idea was really from the young lady, then what method did she use to make the Wang family obedient?

Aunt Zhang didn't know that there are many ways to be obedient in this world, and one of them is called following the good path. Situ Ningbing didn't say anything to the Wang family, but after the Cui family left, he chatted with the second aunt Sun about some common things, and gossiped about the news in the back houses of various famous families in Longxi. In Wang's cognition, this is a behavior that is a matter of chewing the root of the tongue, and the famous lady disdains it, if Situ Ningbing dares to mention it in front of her, she will definitely be preached by her and then punished for copying the "Female Ring" one hundred and eighty times, but people are saying it to her second aunt, if she dares to teach her daughter-in-law in front of Sun, Sun's shrew will definitely shout at her with a loud voice, this Jin Yingtang will immediately become a vegetable market, and she should bear with it for the time being, the lesser of the two evils.

So Wang listened to the story of Mrs. Zhu's three battles and finally won the victory in her extremely disdainful behavior of chewing the root of her tongue, and then a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she learned from Mrs. Zhu's methods, and it seemed that the effect was not bad......

Situ Ningbing paid extra attention to the movements of Songtao Yuan and Aunt Zhang after Cui's punishment, Cui's curse in Jin Yingtang that day seemed to others to be just a moment of anger, but in her eyes, this was a signal, Li Yuanxiang and Han Gong were probably going to prepare for action!

As she expected, in half a year, her good senior brother should have everything ready. When the time comes, she only needs to blow an east wind, and the world will be in chaos. Thinking of this, Situ Ningbing couldn't help but smile slightly, "Yang Yan, you just wait to clean up the mess!"

In the main room of Songtao Courtyard, Li Yuanxiang was comforting his wife who was crying like a tearful person, "I know that you have been wronged, you have to endure it for a few more days, and as soon as the third sister comes out of the pavilion, our hard life will come to an end." ”

Cui Shi couldn't cry himself, and when he heard this, he suddenly raised his head and his eyes were bright and scary, "Really?!You and your uncle have all arranged?!"

Li Yuanxiang patted her shoulder, with three points of smugness and seven points of gloom in his voice, "I'm ready, just wait for the day when the third sister is happy, and then I want all the so-called concubines to disappear, and no one wants to press on me anymore!"

Since there was a person like Li Jiayi in this world, Li Yuanxiang had to be the object of comparison. Originally, Li Yuanxiang was a concubine, but he had a "long" word, Li Jiayi was born with a disability, no matter how you look at it, Li Yuanxiang was born smart and healthy, and Li Yuanxiang had an advantage, but this advantage completely disappeared when Li Yuanxiang was six years old. At the age of six, when he was just enlightened, his second brother, who was three years younger than him, could already compose poetry, and at the age of seven, when he was still struggling to memorize poetry and articles, his second brother had already begun to compose lyrics by himself, and when he was ten years old, he racked his brains and thought for two days before he was praised and praised by Mr. Shang, and when he was triumphant, it happened that Li Jiayi's little servant passed by his gentleman, who had always regarded himself very highly, and actually greeted him in person with a hint of flattery: " I don't know if the second son has read the article that the student asked the second son to review a few days ago? The little brother was annoyed...... "He didn't hear what Mr. said to the little guy behind, he just felt that all the joy of Fang Cai had turned into a bubble, and the hard work of the past few years was just a joke!"

He went back to his aunt and cried fiercely, and his aunt comforted him and said: "It doesn't matter if you don't read well, our family is a military general, you are strong and practice martial arts, and then go to the army to experience a few years, why worry about not having a good future!"

Since then, he has been practicing martial arts every morning and night in the army, rain or shine, and at the age of fifteen, he finally has a small success, and he happily went to his father to invite himself to go to the army for training. When the door of the study opened, he saw two people playing against each other, one was the majestic father and the other was the indifferent second brother.

Although he was a little uncomfortable, he still told his father what he thought, and his father stroked his beard and thought for a long time, and suddenly looked at the second brother who was speechless on the other side and asked, "Jiayi, what do you mean?"

He only remembered that he looked at his father and then at his second brother in shock, since when did his tall and majestic father in his eyes have to listen to the opinion of his second brother? His tone was very light, as if he was talking about an insignificant person, and every word that came out of his voice hit him like thunder.

"It's okay if the eldest brother is willing to go to the army, after all, our family is based on martial arts, and we can't even have a person who can go to the battlefield. Although now Siyi submits to the peace of the world, it is impossible to keep the **** of the border pass one day, and the first queen died early to see the meaning of the saint has no intention of canonizing the middle palace again, the royal family has no son-in-law, although the position of the prince is sure that the concubine's background is too low, it is inevitable that people will criticize it, and the second prince born by Concubine Chen De is only one day younger than the prince, and there are many old people in the court, and it is still unknown who will die in the end! At that time, there will be a lot of turmoil in the court, just in case, it is better to have a family member who can lead the troops. ”

He didn't understand the words of the second brother very well, but just looking at his father's thoughtful look, he knew that he had worked hard for the past five years to be worthless in front of the second brother, but he still went to the army under his father's arrangement, because there was no second brother there, and he thought that as long as he worked hard, he would eventually get ahead.

But it turned out that he was too naΓ―ve, and it wasn't until a few years later that he figured out that it was the second brother of his own army, and as the prince of the Anguo Mansion, how could he give up control of it! Even if Li Jiayi was born with a disability and couldn't walk, what would it be? This did not hinder the admiration of the officers and soldiers of the army at all, and wherever he went, he could hear the officers and non-commissioned officers praise him in a respectful tone, "I read the "Military Strategy" written by the prince a few days ago, which is easy to understand and written on the dots, it is really a rare military book, you should also go and take a look!" The improved crossbow arrows are good, and we will definitely win if we really fight with it!" "The prince is really a rare good person, knowing that my mother is sick and not enough money to see the doctor silently, I found Dr. Zhang from Jishitang to see my mother's doctor, I said that Dr. Zhang refused to accept the money alive or dead, it turned out that the prince had already given it!" ......

Anyway, Li Jiayi is good at everything, as for him... No one knows who he is anymore. Since he became an adult, when people introduced him, they would only say, "This is the eldest prince of Anguo Mansion" and then added another sentence in the other party's confused eyes, "It is Li Gongzi's brother." Then the other party will say "oh~" with a sudden realization expression. In the end, he whispered behind his back, "Li Gongzi's brother, why have I never heard of it?" "Oh!"
