Chapter 198: Selecting Concubines
The days go on.
After An Shicheng left, Qiu Ruyi went to accompany her mother-in-law every day to laugh and amuse. But when I returned to the room, I couldn't help but feel sad.
She is also a strong person, and she doesn't want to be looked down upon, as if she can't live without her husband, so after a few days of depression, she thinks of ways to keep herself busy.
Fortunately, she had already taken over the housekeeping of the house. Although the population of the Lu Guogong Mansion is simple, there are many people, and trivial matters such as daily food and clothing also take up a lot of time.
And because Qiu Ruyi was grateful to her husband for treating her with affection, her husband solemnly entrusted her in-laws and uncle to herself before leaving, and more and more took out her husband's filial piety, and wholeheartedly honored her in-laws, loved her uncle, thought about everything, and was tired, and wanted to sleep when she was tired at night.
But I don't know, each other is born from the heart, no matter how you force your face to laugh, it is not joy from the heart, no matter how you hide it, there are traces to be found, and the fake will not be true after all.
For more than ten days, Qiu Ruyi was shocked when he saw his old and haggard face in the mirror one morning. If you are depressed, when your husband comes home, she doesn't know what the hell she will become.
Mama Su often sees Qiu Ruyi's lonely demeanor in no one's place, and she is afraid that she will be depressed and decadent for a long time, so she has the heart to persuade one or two. I also know that her newlyweds are separated, so gloomy, it is also human nature, if she forcibly puts away her emotions and is not allowed to vent, she is depressed in her heart, but it is harmful to her body.
Today, seeing that Qiu Ruyi was finally in an accident, he felt that he had found an opportunity and said: "Miss had ten colors back then, but now I am afraid that there are only three colors left." In the long run, even if my uncle comes back a few years later, it will be the most proud moment for him to become famous, but you have become like that, how will you see him then. ”
Qiu Ruyi was silent, she knew that An Shicheng was not a frivolous person who was only heavy on skin.
Seeing that Qiu Ruyi was not convinced, Mama Su said coldly: "If people are only blindly sad and depressed, this body should be the most out of trouble." How many wives and wives of military generals' families in the capital, many husbands who are fighting bloody wars outside are fine, but the wives who live a peaceful and prosperous life at home are depressed and die early, especially young and childless, this is the experience of the young lady. The time of sorrow is almost over, the time is too short, outsiders will say that he is cold-hearted and cold-hearted, and it is not a good thing that the time is long, and others should say that frivolity is inseparable from men. It's better to take it away and live a good life. ”
With a basin of cold water on his head, Qiu Ruyi suddenly came to his senses. When the relationship between husband and wife was strong, they also agreed to help each other in the future, and they had to wait for him to come back safely.
Besides, when her husband went to the border, her in-laws were also embarrassed...... In these days, I am only blindly sad, but let the two old people worry about themselves, which really shouldn't be.
Qiu Ruyi secretly said ashamed, and hurriedly cleaned up her mood.
The mentality of Lu Guogong and his wife is good. Knowing that the newlyweds are separated at first glance, unless it is a pair of resentful couples, it is inevitable to be secretly sad, and they are also considerate of Qiu Ruyi every day, because they are worried that Qiu Ruyi's young daughter-in-law is thin-skinned, and if she is a little relieved, it is not good for them to be the opening of her in-laws, so she can only slowly adjust her emotions.
The feelings are out, and Qiu Ruyi is generally a good daughter of a family. So after getting along for a long time, Mrs. Lu Guo abandoned her prejudice and fell in love with this daughter-in-law in her heart. Now that her son is far away in the world, she has moved her love for her son more and more to Qiu Ruyi.
Now seeing that there was a little more real smile on her daughter-in-law's pretty face, Mrs. Lu Guo was really relieved, but her heart was not completely put down.
It turned out that seeing her son getting married for a year, she couldn't help but look forward to her grandson.
These days, although Qiu Ruyi is strong in spirit, there is a bit of fatigue hidden between his eyebrows.
She thought a little more carefully, suspecting that her daughter-in-law was pregnant with her golden grandson, and was afraid that Qiu Ruyi was young and ignorant, so she only blindly grieved and wronged her grandson, and secretly did not mention Mama Su.
In fact, not only Mrs. Lu Guo thought so, Qiu Ruyi also thought about it because her menstrual affairs did not come as scheduled, thinking of the days when the husband and wife were reluctant to separate night and night, she put her hand on her lower abdomen with a red face and stroked it, and there was a little hope in her heart.
The sky did not fulfill people's wishes, Qiu Ruyi had just cleaned up his mood, but the menstrual affair came on the second day - I think it was because of the bad mood that he delayed these days.
Qiu Ruyi sighed lightly in her heart, put down her thoughts, took the girl's mother-in-law to the council hall, clarified the affairs of the house one by one, and went to the mother-in-law's courtyard.
Lu Guogong went to the court early in the morning, and Qiu Ruyi accompanied his mother-in-law and brother-in-law to dinner.
Because his brother left home, An Shimao thought that he had grown into a man, studied harder and harder, and ran to the study after a hurry.
Duchess Lu Guo said hatefully: "What are you in a hurry, you can't even take care of eating." In the long run, how can this body stand it. You can't become a fat man by eating in one bite, and you can only last a long time if you have a long stream. ”
An Shimao had already run away, so Qiu Ruyi stood up and persuaded with a smile: "Mother doesn't have to worry. Shimao doesn't look at people as small, but he is a successful person in his heart, and he will take care of himself. He is so motivated, he is not a good person, and he is not in vain the careful teaching of his father and you to his brother. At the same time, he called someone over and carefully instructed the kitchen to prepare refreshments for the second son, because he knew that An Shimao respected the teacher the most, and knocked on the kitchen again, and he was not allowed to neglect Mr. on tea and dinner.
Seeing this, Duchess Lu Guo was happy in her heart, so she spread her hand more and more, and Qiu Ruyi served after finishing the meal, rinsing her mouth and cleaning her hands, and drank a sip of fragrant tea, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked about it casually to eat.
Don't look at Qiu Ruyi's depressed days, but nothing has happened in the house and outside the house.
The gossip that her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law said at this time was the emperor's choice of concubines.
It turned out that before An Shicheng left, there was a word in the capital: the emperor wanted to choose a concubine.
Many people in the streets and alleys quietly discussed this matter, some were really happy with the royal wedding, and some secretly speculated, saying that the queen mother took power, so she did not let the emperor get married, and only randomly stuffed a few people into the palace to block the mouths of outsiders.
Lu Guogong's Mansion was sincerely happy.
Regardless of whether the emperor gets married or not, since he agrees to choose a concubine, it seems that his body should have improved. As long as you choose a concubine, you can't say that you can have good news in a year and a half. Once the emperor has an heir, the hearts of the ministers of the court and the central government can also be determined, as long as they are loyal to the emperor, those with ulterior motives in the An and Liu families can also stop a little.
Because the emperor and the queen mother are unwilling to mobilize the public, they only elect in the capital, and these two days are the days of recruitment.
Sure enough, almost all of the nobles who were selected were from the families of low-cost officials below the fifth grade.
There is a way to marry a husband and follow a husband, Lu Guogongfu has always been cautious, Qiu Ruyi has also learned a little, only accompanied her mother-in-law to praise the nobles for their decent appearance, and they are all virtuous, and the rest is not mentioned.
