Chapter 54: The First Discussion
For several days, Zhang Hou had a drink with his old friends outside, and when he came back in the evening, he rested at Aunt Qin's. This Aunt Qin is also the girl Tongxi raised by the Wang family in order to share Aunt Liang's favor, and she has already fought with Zhang Hou in Shandong, and everyone else has to be admitted to the back for the time being. Wang looked at Tongxi and gritted his teeth a long time ago, but now there is Qi Jiao's matter that is more important, so he can't take care of anything else.
That night, Zhang Hou went to Wang's room, and Wang gave the maids a look to ask them to step back, then walked behind Zhang Hou and gently pinched his shoulders. Zhang Hou smiled and patted Wang's hand and said:
"Why is there something that is so virtuous today?" said Wang, angrily:
"What, is the master saying that the concubine is not virtuous on weekdays?"
"Don't dare, don't dare. Zhang Hou hurriedly laughed.
"Sir. Seeing that the age of the children is not too young, I don't know what the master plans for their relatives?"
"Among these children, only Yu'er is older, and the others are still young. ”
"Isn't there an old lady in Sister Yu'er's affairs, I finally told her about her family, isn't the master not happy. Wang said with a little complaint.
"Madame, is she angry, is she complaining about her husband?" Zhang Hou pulled Wang into his arms and asked playfully.
"How dare you be a concubine? Wang also said smoothly, and then said:
"Even so, you have to worry about it early, so as not to be in a hurry. ”
"Madame is reasonable, Brother Xiao, I want to wait until he has a reputation before talking about kissing, and I can also find a good one, and I can help him in the future. As for Saitama, I haven't figured it out yet. In the spring palace, there is a choice of people, saying that it is to choose a concubine for a few unmarried princes, I think this time our family can also bet once, if we can have a mother, then we can keep rich forever. Wang was shocked, and even his tone trembled slightly, but fortunately, Zhang Houzheng was immersed in his sweet dream and never heard it.
"I don't know who the master wants. ”
"I was originally optimistic about Qi Jiao, after all, Jiao'er is outstanding among the sisters, but in recent times, Qi Yu is also good, knows how to advance and retreat, and is quite strategic, but she is a better candidate. Wang couldn't hear Zhang Hou praise Saiyu the most, so he couldn't help but come out with a little bit on his face, got up from Zhang Hou's arms, and walked to the table to get a cup of tea.
"The lord is so sure, Saitama will definitely be able to win the election, not to mention that the selection of that prince is not something we can say, in case we get on the wrong boat, we will fall into the trap of our family. Zhang Hou listened, stuck a few strands of beard, and said slowly:
"What Madame is worried about is exactly what I am worried about, and if you want to hit it with one hit, you have to think of a way. After listening to Zhang Hou's words, a thought flashed through Wang's heart, which made her ecstatic, and she forcibly said in a calm tone:
"Master, this time I went back to my mother's house and listened to my mother, now everyone in the capital is optimistic about King Shou, but King Shou has already married, if he can enter King Shou's mansion, it will be a good move. But Zhang Hou's reaction was beyond her expectations, and he was not surprised, but shook his head with a slight smile, without saying a word, and said after a while:
"Madame, let's rest early. As he spoke, he took Wang again, and Wang sat in Zhang Hou's arms.
"Don't worry, sir, the concubine does have something to discuss with the master. ”
"What's the matter?" So the Wang family told Zhang Hou that the Duchess of Qi Guo had taken a fancy to Qi Jiao and wanted to hire Qi Jiao as a concubine. Zhang Hou listened, and his face sank:
"This matter must be decided, how can the daughter of my Zhang family go to be a concubine?"
"Master, this is a concubine, but in the end, I still have to help the Duchess of Chengguo, both such a mother-in-law who likes her like that, and such a wise and capable husband, where to find such a family, not to mention that the family is still so high, and you can enjoy endless glory and wealth for a lifetime. ”
"Madam, you are also a safe person to do things on weekdays, why are you confused now? Think about it, that Mrs. Shizi is a saint, can she be replaced so easily? Besides, as you said, the Duchess of the Kingdom does not like Mrs. Shizi, but Madame Cross is already pregnant, if it is a boy who is born, then when the time comes to seal the little prince, it will inevitably be another confusing account. ”
"As long as Qi Jiao enters the Guogong Mansion, the position of Mrs. Shizi will be hers sooner or later, naturally she will seal her own children, how can there be any reason to seal others. ”
"This is just your own assumption, madam, when Qi Jiao enters someone else's door, you can still have the final say in everything, I'm afraid you can only suffer a dumb loss." ”
"Sister Lian has been friends with me for many years, and she will never pit me!"
"Even if she is convincing, but that Qi Guogong is not a decoration, how can she be at her mercy? Madam, Madam, this matter must not be hasty, if you can marry into the Guogong Mansion, it is not good, if not, there is no need to force it. As for concubines, they must not be done. Zhang Hou saw that Wang's face was unhappy, and said a few words of reassurance.
"In my opinion, it's better to put this matter aside and see if the lady of the prince is born as a man or a woman before making a final decision. When Wang heard this, he knew that there would be no result if he talked about it today, so he nodded and agreed. After this, Zhang Hou also lost interest, and the couple rested early.
Early the next morning, Zhang Houzi went out to visit friends. The Wang family invited An back from the Shen family, and remembered the drugging matter, so he sent Chen's mother to see him. After Chen's mother came in, Wang withdrew all the maids, and then asked quietly:
"Aunt Liang, where is there any movement these days?"
The old slave kept watching, but there was no movement. And the old lady put two people over there, and everything is not very convenient. ”
"It stands to reason that it's been more than a month, how can there be no movement, and that thing is still in her house?"
"Last time, the old slave went into her house in the name of his wife's reward, and she had been using that thing. ”
"Are you sure you're not mistaken?" Wang frowned slightly.
"That's not wrong, the color of that mattress is only available to my wife, and others can't imitate it. What's more, according to her temperament, if she knows something, why don't she immediately complain to the master?" Chen's mother pouted and said.
"She will look for it, I'm afraid that there are others behind her back. ”
"Mrs. means that the second lady ......"
"Yes, you want the master to hand over Aunt Liang to Saitama on the way to take care of, and you say that the two of them are nothing, so I don't believe it. The light in Wang's eyes slowly turned cold, and he paused and said:
"We can't sit back and die this time, we have to try again. Mother Chen thought that Mrs. must have asked her to do it again, but now the two masters were under the protection of the old lady, and neither of them had the courage to offend, so she replied cautiously:
"But Aunt Liang is watching the old lady now, and the second lady is not far from the old lady, I'm afraid it's ......" Wang listened, his eyes rolled,
"What, what's the problem?" Mother Chen was frightened, and hurriedly said:
"Madam, the old slave is afraid that the precautions over there will be tight, and it is difficult to start. ”
"This is a matter of long-term consideration. Let's start with Aunt Liang first, the meat in the stomach will not wait for anyone. ”
"Madam, the old slave has a good plan, and it can be like this. Wang listened to Chen's mother's words, and the corners of his mouth gradually curved upward.
