Chapter 42: Heart-to-Heart (2)
After listening to Mrs. Li's words, Wang's mind became lively. Qi Jiao won the eyes of Mrs. Li, if she became a noble concubine, she would be the Duchess of the Kingdom in the future. Not to mention the noble status, the son of the world is dignified, the family style is good, there are no bad things, no matter how you look at it, it is a good family business. When I fell in love with that Yang Xi, I won the champion, and I had to start from Hanlin step by step, how could I enjoy the glory like this. It's just that this matter of being a noble concubine, although it has practical benefits, but it has a bad reputation, and the master must not be able to get through, and it needs to be carefully planned to accomplish this. Thinking of this, Wang said:
"It turns out that my sister's family still has such troubles. In fact, it's the same in my family, a few aunts still can't figure it out, and there is a thorny eldest lady, this time in Beijing, with the support of the old lady, she has to step on me even more. On weekdays, I am considerate and often bored in front of me, so I feel a little better in my heart. This kid isn't so clever and empathetic, and I really can't miss her for a moment. After listening to this, Mrs. Li understood a little in her heart, it was rare for Wang to be willing to give his daughter to his son as a concubine, and felt that it was a good choice, in the end, his son was excellent, but this matter could not be so hasty, and it needed to be discussed slowly, so she took a sip of the tea bowl, slowly put it down, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief and said:
"Look at you, look at me, who has no daughter, here to show off, I'm afraid that people don't know that you have a good daughter, but don't be too happy, in the end, I don't know who got it." After speaking, he glanced at Wang with a little deep meaning, and Wang understood and did not mention this matter at the moment.
"You big girl, you don't look at it, but you have a heart. I deliberately gave her the same gift as that concubine today, and she turned a blind eye. ”
"Not only is she scheming, she is so good at pretending, she has been deceived in the past few years, pretending to be filial, going behind my back to slap the master, provoking our relationship, and inciting that aunt to oppose me. told her a family matter, she was a young talent, the sister-in-law of the prefect of Huzhou, and she didn't even look down on it, and she didn't know what ** soup she poured into the master, so she was messing around with her. I don't want to take care of her affairs, I have been raising her heart and lungs for a few years, but she is a white-eyed wolf. ”
"Then hang her for a few years, and when you get older, you can find someone to send her. ”
"That's our old lady's baby, it looks like an eyeball, and she wasn't happy to follow me at that time, and she didn't know how to compensate her this time, so it's really difficult to send her away. ”
"In this way, your life is not easy, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read. ”
"Who's to say it isn't. The two of them chattered like this, and the Wang family did not return to the room to rest until late at night.
However, it was said that Li Duan led Zhang Xiao's brother to meet his uncle, and called someone to arrange a banquet to entertain Zhang Xiao, because Brother An sent him back to the inner house at a young age, Li Duan and Zhang Xiao were about the same age, and Zhang Xiao was close, and they had a lively conversation for a short time. Li Duan told about the first time he went to the battlefield with his father, and Zhang Xiao listened to it with fascination, and he couldn't wait to immediately put pen to paper and show his ambitions. Zhang Xiao's eager attitude and adoring eyes made Li Duan also regard him as a confidant, and he had the intention of hating each other.
Under the leadership of the maid, the Saitama sisters returned to the small courtyard arranged by Mrs. Li, Saitama and Aunt Liang lived in the east chamber, Qi Jiao and Qi Yun lived in the west chamber, and the main house was left to Wang and Brother An. When she arrived in the room, Aunt Liang immediately came to see Saitama despite her tiredness and expressed her gratitude. Saitama also showed the problematic tea to Mother Li, who looked at it for a long time and said:
"It's not tea, but it's the same thing as what was in my aunt's medicine bag on the mattress. The medicine bag is large, but it is necessary to drink it when it is placed in the tea leaves. It is certainly not a good thing to be able to put it in such a concealment and mix it with tea. And this thing must be from Fanbang, not an old slave boasting, the slave maid has been serving these things since childhood, and has seen countless herbs, which is not worse than that doctor, but this is the first time I have seen such a thing. According to the old slave's opinion, this matter should not be quiet, so that they think that we still don't know, so as not to have any follow-up. I expected that this thing was also a slow effect, and the medicine of the tiger and wolf was too obvious, and she would not dare. Saitama listened and told the maids:
"You have to be very careful with what you eat and use these days, and your aunt's things must be carefully checked so that you don't fall for it. Everyone has worked hard these days, and when I return to Beijing, I will be rewarded. "Qiushuang, Qiuyan, Liang'er, and Aunt Liang's girl Xiaotao and Que'er responded together.
That night, Li's mother opened the medicine bag found in Aunt Liang's mattress and left some of the medicine as evidence for the future. The rest is carefully disposed of. Then he filled the medicine bag with other things, sewed them again, and still hid them in the mattress, so that no flaws could be seen. Later, Chen's mother went to Aunt Liang's room twice under the pretext that her wife was not at ease, and saw that the mattress was still the same, and she was secretly proud in her heart.
On weekdays, Aunt Li's mother is very careful about Aunt Liang's tea and meal, and only let Aunt Liang use it after confirming that it is correct, Aunt Liang is naturally very grateful to Mother Li, and has repeatedly expressed her gratitude, and said that it is okay for the eldest lady. Seeing Aunt Liang like this, Saitama was also happy and added a helper, so she didn't have to worry about no one giving Zhang Hou a message in the future.
The Wang family stayed in the Pingyang Marquis Mansion for two days, and every day they just chatted with Mrs. Li and reminisced about the past. Qi Jiao also playfully stood by the side, showing her gentle and well-behaved side, hoping to get Mrs. Li's favor. It turned out that after the Wang family went back that day, she and Qi Jiao had a thorough understanding, at first she was unwilling, after all, who didn't want to be married to Ming Media, and wanted to be a child. However, the Wang family also said that when he entered the gate of the Guogong Mansion, he had the support of Mrs. Li, and no one dared to underestimate it, and he was originally going to be a wife, but he was only wronged, and the low-hanging dignity was in his hands, and he got a great benefit. Moreover, Li Duan is handsome and talented, so he is looking for such a relative. The most important thing is that the family style of the Guogong Mansion is upright and the backyard is peaceful, which is the most rare in the powerful family in the capital. Qi Jiao was also a little moved when she heard this, but she didn't nod immediately, but just promised the Wang family to entertain Mrs. Li well and not lose this rare opportunity.
That night, Mrs. Li discussed with Wang to set off together, and Wang was worried that the old lady in Beijing did not know what was going on, and it would not be good to delay it any longer. Mrs. Li is also worried that her daughter-in-law is about to give birth, and it is not good that her mother-in-law is not there. So the two agreed to leave early on the third morning.
This morning, the two teams set out on their journey. Zhang Xiao knew Li Duan, the "hero", and admired the abnormality, so he also abandoned the car and rode the horse, and walked side by side with Li Duan. Although Wang was not at ease, he was helpless. Mrs. Li also invited Wang to ride in the same car with her and gossip. The journey was very smooth, and after about half a month, I arrived in the capital.
