Chapter 200: Bestowing the Seal
"Listen to what you mean, but I complain that my aunt is doing things inappropriately. Lian said coldly.
"This Yu'er doesn't dare, my aunt is in charge of such a big family's affairs, even if there is any omission, it is understandable. Saitama's words were a clear admission that Lian had not informed her in advance, and that her fault was not her.
Although Lian's heart was angry, Pei's mother beside her quietly pulled Lian's sleeve to remind her of the purpose of coming here today. Only then did Lian settle down and say to Saitama:
"Then I'm to blame for this, but there's still a chance to make amends. Today, I brought some girls from the house, you might as well see if there are suitable ones, keep a few, and save yourself from looking for those who don't know the details. ”
Saitama didn't expect that Lian didn't get angry as he expected, but kept biting the matter of choosing a girl, so he said with a smile:
"Aunt, since you say so, then Yu'er is better to be respectful than to obey her fate. As soon as Saitama said this, not only Lian's but even the maids around her wondered how she could let Lian's stuff these girls into her room.
"Then let them come in and have a look. After Lian finished speaking, he looked at Saitama Yiyan suspiciously, and couldn't believe that this nephew and daughter-in-law, who had always been difficult, would be so easy to talk to. After a while, a dozen or so girls came to the room one by one. Saitama took a cursory look and asked them to stretch out their hands.
These girls were called together temporarily, and in such a short period of time, Lian's orders were urgent, where would the housekeeper have time to carefully select, and only call some people of the right age to fill the number, where to see if these people are suitable to serve in the inner courtyard.
Most of them are now doing some rough work, although they have changed their clothes and washed their hands before they came, but there is still some dirt in their nails, and some of them do not smell good. Saitama looked around, came to Lien's face, saluted, and said:
"Auntie, Yu'er has a sentence today that I don't know if to say?"
"We are a family, so what can't you say, you can just say it directly. ”
"Then please don't be angry, Yu'er thinks that her aunt is too kind. The aunt was in a good mood. Arrange for the family to come in and serve the master, and find a livelihood for them. But I don't want these people to be ignorant of what to do, and they have wasted my aunt's hard work. ”
"What do you say?" Ren's asked a little strangely when he saw Saitama say this.
"Since I went into the inner court to serve my master. Take these girls should be the top among the children in the family. But aunt, you see, when you come in to see the master, you can't even do the most basic cleanliness, how can you serve in the future? In the final analysis, they can go directly to the inner courtyard with their own confidence, and they even forget their duty to be slaves. This is not to live up to my aunt's kindness. Or maybe it's because they're going into our yard. Didn't want to come so deliberately ......"
Although Saitama's words were not finished, these words clearly accused the Lian family of not being strict with his subordinates, not managing the subordinates in the house well, and not putting the second room in his eyes, and only bringing some such people to the second room to pick. Lian has been squeezed like this, and wherever she goes, others flatter her. But she couldn't have a seizure in front of a junior, so she picked up a tea cup and put it to her mouth to hide her anger.
Saitama could tell from Lien's slightly trembling hand that Lien was angry now. The reason why she is working against the Lian family like this today is that on the one hand, she thinks that this selection is to add people to her and Brother Tong'er's side. On the other hand, it is because she wants to take a look at the prestige of the Lian family, and not to always make trouble for herself, after all, it is Li Yi who will inherit the title in the end, and the Lian family is not qualified to talk nonsense there.
"What does the niece and daughter-in-law mean that they didn't like it?" Lian finally stabilized his mood.
"Yes, Yu'er listens to the common saying that the household hub is not beetle, and the running water is not rotten, and some newcomers should be brought in to the house, so that those children of the family should not take their errands too seriously, thinking that they can't do without them. ”
Lian Shi felt very harsh when he heard Saitama's words, especially the last sentence 'It can't be without them'. I felt like I was talking about myself. She couldn't bear it anymore, so she suddenly got up and said "It's really hard wings, look at how proud you are!", and walked away.
Saitama looked at Ren's back. I sighed that the life of this country mansion is really not easy, just a few days after I came back, the Lian family made a move, and today annoyed her, I don't know what the consequences will be. She instructed Qiushuang to quickly find someone to bring someone in to choose, so as not to have too many dreams at night.
After Li Yi returned to the capital, he was also busy. Came back late every day. Because the news of the imminent inheritance of the title spread, there was an endless stream of people who came to visit with various purposes, and the original old friends were also invited, Li Yi could not refuse, so he could only cheer up and deal with it. Speaking of which, the time for the two to meet was much less than when they were in Shandong, Li Yi felt very sorry for Saitama in his heart, he deliberately turned off the entertainment that day, and came back earlier than usual, wanting to accompany his wife.
He went to see his mother first, hugged Brother Tong'er, and then returned to his yard, only to find his wife leaning on the bed with a tired face. Saitama saw Li Yi coming back and hurried to get up. Li Yi grabbed two steps to stop Saitama,
"What's wrong, what's wrong?"
"No, I'm just a little tired, why did I come back so early today. ”
"I want to come back early to accompany you. Li Yi said softly, Saitama listened to the warmth in her heart, and the boring mood was swept away.
"Here you go. Li Yi said, took out a hosta from his sleeve and handed it to Saitama. Saitama took it and saw that this hairpin was green all over, without a little variegation, the style was simple and chic, and the hairpin head was carved with a hibiscus flower.
"It's so beautiful. Saitama couldn't help but admire, although she had a lot of jewelry on her head, but this hairpin suddenly won her favor.
"The first time I saw it, I felt like a good match for you. I'll plug it in for you. Li Yi said that he took the hairpin in Saitama's hand and was about to help her put it on her head.
"Hmm. Saitama replied, her heart was sweet.
While Saitama was changing clothes, Li Yi asked Qiushuang to find out about Lian's coming here today, and he couldn't help but be a little angry. Saitama changed her clothes and saw Li Yi's face was not good, and said:
"Who told you what to say?"
"Auntie is here today?"
"Yes. I may have offended her miserably today, but I'm afraid that she will say something to the eldest uncle, and I'm afraid you will be hung up again. ”
"It's okay, with me supporting you, no one has to be afraid!" Li Yi said while holding Saitama's waist, Saitama smiled and buried his head in Li Yi's arms.
"Yu'er, I'm sorry, I can't let you live in peace. ”
"It's okay, as long as we're together. ”
At noon that day, Qi Guogong and Li Yi were discussing in the study, when they heard that someone came to report the arrival of the holy decree. Grandpa Guo and Li Yi glanced at each other, and ordered someone to hurry up and set up an incense case to prepare to receive the order. When Qi Guogong arrived at the main hall, a deacon and eunuch was already waiting there, and when the man saw Qi Guogong, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted:
"The villain has seen the grandfather of the country, the second master. Grandpa Guo knew that this was a celebrity around the emperor, where did he dare to slack off, and he was also busy saying:
"I can't afford it, I can't afford it. Li Yi also returned the salute.
"Now it's time to make a decree. Qi Guogong said.
"Don't worry, you have to wait for the second grandmother. ”
"And nieces and daughters-in-law?" Qi Guogong is a little strange, this is generally the prince and his wife are after the prince is established, and the prince asks for the seal, why do they have to seal it together this time.
"This is the emperor's special grace, I heard that the second grandmother is the sister of the concubine. ”
"I see. Only then did Qi Guogong remember that he forgot that his nephew and daughter-in-law still had this relationship.
Not long after, Lian, Huang, and Saitama also arrived here in large clothes. When the deacon and eunuch saw that everyone had arrived, he prepared to read the decree. Qi Guogong led everyone to kneel in front of the incense case, and Gao Gonggong slowly unfolded the holy decree in his hand and read aloud:
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, Li Yi, the nephew of the Duke of Qi, has both ability and political integrity, talent and high intentions, and has made contributions to the country, which has won my heart. He was specially given the title of the prince of Qi. In addition, the Zhang family is elegant and virtuous, gentle and generous, and specially given the title of Mrs. Shizi, and the title of Mrs. Yipin. I would like to ask the prince and his wife to take the order."
Everyone present was taken aback after hearing this, Mrs. Shizi was crowned Mrs. Yipin, which has not had a few such precedents since the founding of the country, even if Li Yi made a lot of contributions in this peace talks, the emperor's gift of such a seal is really uneasy in people's hearts, this glory is really too great.
Li Yi and Saiyu knelt to receive the holy decree and thanked Enbi. Duke Qi sealed a thick red envelope to Duke Gao and thanked him. That Gao Gonggong is also a celebrity around the emperor, so he is naturally thoughtful, knowing that this prince has won the emperor's green eyes, and he will definitely have to deal with it in the future.
"The prince, the emperor has issued an edict to ask the prince and his wife to accept the decree and immediately enter the palace to thank him. Please also ask the prince and the prince to leave as soon as possible. ”
Qi Guogong and Li Yi were a little apprehensive in their hearts, and they didn't understand what the emperor meant. And the Lian and Huang clans are jealous that Saitama has such good luck. Lian thought that he was a gentleman of the country and a super first-class person, and this Saitama was already a first-class lady at a young age, and he would only take himself even less seriously in the future.
The Huang family is jealous, Saitama is just the daughter of an ordinary official eunuch, but she can be so proud, not only her husband loves her, she gave birth to a son, and now she is named Mrs. Yipin. A young lady from a marquis's family can only live a lonely life with a daughter, and she can't help but feel sad when she looks at her eyes. But because of such an occasion, I couldn't show it, and I had to fight hard to congratulate Saitama.
Li Yi and Saiyu didn't dare to slack off, so they had to quickly pack up and enter the palace with Gonggong Gao to thank him. (To be continued.) )
