Chapter 138: New Year
It was the Spring Festival, and like other families, the Anguo Mansion was also full of lights, with a festive atmosphere of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Only Jin Yingtang in the backyard was a little dignified because the third son Li Jiazhi, who had just returned from Chang'an, was kneeling in the main house.
"What do you say you are doing?!" Wang looked at his youngest son who was kneeling down in annoyance, and slammed the red sandalwood at hand a few beats, "When I gave it to my in-laws, I went to Chang'an without saying a word, and your brother protected you and told me that you were going to do the urgent matter he gave you, I believe it! What serious business have you done? Can you bring back a woman from a green house?!" "It's shameful enough for the old man to take a widow, and the younger son also got a prostitute into the house, how can she explain to the Yang family?!"
Li Jiazhi couldn't tell Wang that he went to Chang'an to find Changxiao to confess and was rejected, and followed the third sister Li Shuning out to drink, but King Qi took the opportunity to stuff Du Pianpian, so he could only raise his head and look pitifully at Situ Ningbing, who was sitting next to Wang and bored in the account book.
"Ask you, look what your sister-in-law does!" Situ Ningbing turned a blind eye to Li Jia's gaze for help, and after Wang found out about his intentions, he said fiercely: "I'll tell you! It's useless for anyone to intercede with you today! The woman you brought back must not enter the mansion, send her away now!"
Li Jia muttered, "If you don't say it, I'm going to send it away." ”
"Not yet. Situ Ningbing, who had always seemed to stay out of the matter, finally put down the account book in his hand, and said leisurely in the face of Li Jiazhi and Wang's surprised or resentful eyes: "Since it was sent to you by the King of Qi, it is inevitable to let people talk about it if you send people away like this, it is better to throw them in the backyard to eat and drink, if you pity her two points, wait for your younger brother and sister to enter the door and give her a name......"
"No!" Before Situ Ningbing finished speaking, Li Jiazhi jumped up, "I don't take concubines!" He was already fed up with the restlessness of his father's house with three wives and four concubines, so he didn't want to repeat the mistakes of the past! He's already got a long laugh!
"Just to accept, such a woman can't enter the door of our house!" "The Wang family is not so pedantic in not accepting concubines, although he did not explicitly support Li Jiazhi, but looking at his eyes, there was a faint sense of relief, and there was no hatred at all. There is probably a little bit of Aunt Zhang's credit for this.
Situ Ning Bingyuan just said it casually, and Li Jiazhi's reaction was also expected, and he immediately proposed a second set of plans, "If you really don't like it, just raise it for a while and then find a chance to give it away." "Anyway, with Du Pianpian's posture and means, it will not be too miserable.
Li Jiazhi nodded when he heard this, and then frowned a little distressedly, "This... It's not appropriate to harm anyone, is it?"
Situ Ningbing suddenly wanted to hold his forehead, and after taking a breath, he said, "If you don't have a suitable candidate, I'll send it for you." ”
Li Jiazhi laughed twice and flattered: "Then there is Sister-in-law Lao." ”
Situ Ningbing smiled meaningfully at him, "It's just a gesture, I just hope that you will think twice before you act." As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand, which was as white as jade, and shook it in front of Li Jiazhi, "My hand is so big, but I can't hold too many things!"
Li Jiazhi smirked twice, and was about to open his mouth to say a few more flattering words, but Situ Ningbing turned his head to Wang and said: "I think he also knows that he is wrong, so his mother told him to get up, he just came back and didn't even come back to the yard to come to you to punish and kneel, and kneeling is for most of the day, but I am afraid that my body will not be able to bear it, and it will not be my mother when the time comes, you are distressed?" Wang had a seizure, and most of his anger disappeared, Du Pianpian had a disposition, and he intended to spare Li Jiazhi, Situ Ningbing gave her a step, and she naturally went down with the trend. After pretending to be angry, he glanced at Li Jiazhi before he said: "Since your sister-in-law pleaded with you, I will spare you this time, and next time you dare to fool around and see that I won't break your legs!"
Li Jiazhi knew that Wang was just scaring himself, and he didn't know how many times he had heard this since he was a child, and his legs were not good?
"Alas!" Wang sighed long, "It's still so out of tune for such a big person, I should have married him earlier, and one more person to discipline him can be more restrained." ”
Situ Ningbing didn't say anything, picked up the account book he left behind, and looked attentive. Since Li Jiayi had a sincere conversation with the Wang family, the Wang family's attitude towards Situ Ningbing is not as good as that of his own daughter Li Shuning, but from the eyes of the world, she can definitely be regarded as a good mother-in-law who is difficult to find with a lantern. took the initiative to hand over the feed, not to mention, and called Situ Ningbing over to have dinner together to show his closeness, and others may be grateful to Wang, Yu Situ Ningbing only felt bored, and he missed more and more when he pretended to be sick and ignored everything.
The people who served in Wang's house seemed to be accustomed to the way the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law got along, and knew that the young lady didn't like to answer, so in order to avoid Wang's embarrassment, one or two would always jump out to take a stubble. Generally, the first person to speak is Mama Qi, "Don't worry, madam, the third young lady will enter the door next year, and the third young master will naturally be sensible when he becomes a pro." ”
Situ Ningbing hung his head on the surface and looked at the account seriously, but in his heart he was very disdainful of Mama Qi's remarks that "a man will grow up when he marries a wife", An Guogong married the Wang family, plus one, two, three, four, five, six concubines, isn't it that when he is old, he cries when he encounters something?
The Biwang family likes to listen to this, and pulls Mama Qi to talk about the future daughter-in-law with great interest, "...... I don't know if this Miss Yang Si is really as good as my sister-in-law said? Although it is decided, I don't see it with my own eyes, and my heart is always unsteady. ”
"It's easy for mother to want to see Miss Yang Si," Situ Ningbing was annoyed by listening to the two women's chatter, so he came up with an idea: "Mother's birthday is just after the year, why don't you take the opportunity to invite Duchess Zhao Guo to come over?" She will definitely take Miss Yang Si with her, and her mother will be able to see it when the time comes. "The Wang family is not worried about other people's daughters, and it is estimated that the Duchess of Zhao Guo is not too worried about Li Jiazhi.
Wang nodded again and again when he heard this, "That's a good idea!" The eldest daughter-in-law took a lot of pains to choose, but a holy decree made her lose all her efforts, and this time she had to see this little daughter-in-law who she had personally selected with her own eyes no matter what.
Seeing that the Wang family slapped the board, Situ Ningbing immediately stood up and said with a smile: "Then the daughter-in-law will go to arrange the mother's birthday banquet after the holiday." Although she doesn't like to take Wang's words very much, but she has never given Wang's love to ignore the feeling, in Wang's eyes, although this daughter-in-law has a strong tongue, it is a pity that some words are like gold, and there are always some words that are not speculative when talking to her.
"Go, I'm sorry for you. Wang's smile and love, in fact, she didn't want to have too much contact with this daughter-in-law in her heart, but when she thought of the eldest son's hidden illness, she had to put the blame on her daughter-in-law, Wang was full of pity and guilt for this daughter-in-law who was originally unpleasant, and did her best to treat her in the right way. Moreover, without preconceived prejudices, Wang gradually discovered that the eldest son and daughter-in-law were really a very smart person in addition to her flawed appearance and dislike her, and many problems were easily solved in her hands.
Situ Ningbing saluted and said goodbye, and as soon as he left the main house, he whispered to Jianlian who came forward to help him: "You go and settle Du Pianpian." ”
Seeing that he hated all those who tried or tried to dig into the corner of his own young lady's wall, he nodded with a smile: "Miss don't worry, the slave will definitely arrange a good place for her to live, and will never ask her to come out to obstruct your eyes." With that, he walked out of Jin Yingtang with brisk steps.
Situ Ningbing looked at her cheerful back and sighed lowly, "Silly girl......"
"Silly girl, stop crying. Yang Yi, who was far away in Chang'an, was coaxing the concubine Wu he brought back from Lingnan with a headache at this time, "You are still pregnant with a child, you must keep your mind peaceful, and it is not appropriate to be happy and sad." Yang Yi was not in a good mood during this time, his father had found out that he was wronged, but he did not restore his position as the crown prince, and demoted him to the king of Changshan County, I don't know if it was Yang Hui's ghost! He was already irritable and was cried by the Wu family, and his chest was even more depressed, just thinking about the warmth and comfort that the Wu family brought to him in those lowest days in Lingnan, and coaxed her patiently.
Wu's eyes were crying like rabbits, and he glared at Yang Yi with an aggrieved face and sobbed: "My father-in-law was robbed, and you still don't allow me to cry twice!"
Yang Yi opened his mouth to explain to her, but he didn't know how to speak, and when the words came to his mouth, he finally turned into a helpless sigh, and he could only stare fiercely at the mouthy maid standing tremblingly on the side.
The maid shrunk her neck more and more cautiously, but her heart was extremely aggrieved. She was originally afraid that the innocent Wu family would suffer, so she told the Wu family the news that His Majesty had decreed that the former prince Liangdi Ding in the Taimiao would be named the princess of the county, so that she should be mentally prepared to avoid being caught off guard when the princess of the county entered the mansion in a few days. Who knew that the Wu clan would have such a bad chance and would directly quarrel with the king of the county! Sure enough, it came out of the barbarian land, and it couldn't be on the table at all!
The more Wu cried, the more sad he became, and Yang Yi would not coax people to turn over and over those two dry sentences, how to listen to how insincere. Or Xiao Hongzi beside him knew where Wu's heart knot was, and persuaded on the side: "Don't worry, madam, even if the princess enters the door, you are also the person on the tip of His Highness's heart, Zongzheng Temple's named Cong Liupin is a person, and he serves His Royal Highness with the princess, how can there be anything that you can't rob?"
Most of the people who have been interacting in the mountains since he was a child are hunters and woodcutters, and they are used to seeing monogamy, although they have also heard of three wives and four concubines in large families, but they never expected that it would be their turn, and they are still concubines! Unwillingly, he shouted at Xiao Hongzi: "I can serve Brother Yang well by myself without others!"
When the maids in the house heard this, they all looked down at the tips of their shoes, and they all complained in their hearts, they were unexpectedly blessed and miserable with such a master!
