Chapter 3 Stealing Chickens Can't Be Done
Doudou knew that the old lady was not really angry, but she couldn't help but want to say a few good words for her aunt: "Grandmother, there is no elder concubine around my aunt to help with housework, she has to do everything herself, and her two younger brothers are young, she really can't leave." w?ww.”
The old lady snorted: "You will say good things for her." ”
Doudou continued to flatter: "Grandmother, my uncle is now a proclamator, and even my aunt has to entertain the wives of her bosses and colleagues from time to time, and she told me that if it wasn't for what you taught her back then, she wouldn't have been able to do this at all." ”
The old lady burst out laughing, and took Doudou into her arms again, she also knew that she was a little too pretentious, and it might be rare to be coaxed by her granddaughter like this.
After a while, she spoke: "Sister Yuan, how can grandmother blame your aunt, as long as she and Dayong live well, I am relieved that she is far away." ”
Doudou hurriedly said: "My aunt asked me to bring you a lot of things, and said that the time is too tight to clean up, and I will prepare well when I give New Year's gifts." ”
The old lady sighed: "Sending goose feathers for thousands of miles is a light courtesy." Hui Niang is very thoughtful when she is a child, how can I care about this thing with her, she is a girl who does not have half a dowry, and it is not easy to live her life like this. ”
Doudou was afraid that the old lady would be sad again, and said with a smile: "My aunt is really very powerful, she has bought several shops and several granges in less than a year since she arrived in Dongningwei, and her life will definitely get better and better in the future." ”
The old lady nodded: "How about the two brothers of Hui Niang, they are all good?" ”
"It's very good, Peanut studies and learns martial arts very hard, Xiaoxiao is four and a half years old, and he is very strong and smart." Doudou mentioned his two younger brothers, and the smile on his face was even bigger.
The old lady is also very happy, the most important thing for the elderly is that the children are well, and other things are not important. ”
After talking about the matter of his aunt's house, Doudou remembered Yuan Xiang and said to the old lady: "Grandmother, didn't Doctor Gongsun say that my sister can come back as soon as she opens spring, why did my father write that she went directly to the capital, what the hell is going on?" ”
When she mentioned this old lady, she said angrily: "It's not your mother's own opinion, she didn't want to discuss it with us, so she directly sent Sister Xiang to her mother's house, which made my grandmother so worried." ”
Doudou knew what her grandmother was worried about, even if she was a cheeky little girl, she would not be happy to be suddenly sent to her grandfather's house, which was a stranger at all, not to mention that her sister was such a character.
She frowned and said, "Is my mother planning to let my grandmother take care of my sister's relatives?" In addition to this, she couldn't think of any purpose Gu Chao could have in doing this, a person who had not been in contact with her mother's family for more than ten years suddenly became so enthusiastic, could she still let her sister honor her parents for her? Don't be funny.
The old lady sneered: "It's not just a matter of looking at each other, she directly wants to send Sister Xiang to the capital to be the princess, but she didn't expect that she would steal chickens and rice, and now I don't know how to regret it." ”
The princess? Doudou secretly said, my mother's heart is really big enough, is it possible to marry my sister to the prince, and then let my father help fight for the storage position, and my sister will be the princess in the future, or even the queen......
She couldn't help but make up for Gu Chao's triumphant appearance after becoming the emperor's mother-in-law, and she almost laughed out loud.
But what does the latter sentence mean by stealing chickens and rice? Doudou immediately came to his senses again and looked at the old lady with some doubts.
When Yuan Zheng wrote a letter to Yuan Hui, he didn't know that the princes were coming, and Fang Doudou didn't have time to hear about the two princes living in the mansion, so he didn't know anything about it.
The old lady said: "Your mother is afraid that your father will return to Beijing too late and miss the selection of concubines for the princes, so she sent your sister to the Gu Mansion in the capital." She was thinking that the Pei and Gu families were getting closer to the royal family, and your sister could get acquainted with the princes in advance, and the chances would be greater, she was going to be angry with me, a good lady, alas......"
Doudou quickly stood up and prepared to smooth the old lady.
The old lady grabbed Doudou and said with a hint of sarcasm in her tone: "She has a good calculation, but unfortunately people are not as good as heaven, Your Majesty actually sent two princes to Qingzhou Mansion to welcome your father back to Beijing, including the second prince from the queen's mother, do you think she is self-defeating?" ”
Doudou sighed softly, although her grandmother and father never mentioned in front of her what kind of son-in-law they would find for their sisters in the future, according to their previous attitudes, the marriage event must have consulted their sisters first, and it will be decided when they like it.
She was not interested in marrying into a high family at all, let alone the royal family. Although my sister hasn't asked in person, she has lived freely with Gongsun Divine Doctor for more than five years, and it's strange that she likes to marry into the royal family and be controlled.
So the mother is destined to be a bamboo basket for water.
It's just that...... Two princes lived in their own house? That doesn't sound good.
"Grandmother, when are we going to leave for the capital?" Doudou's idea is very simple, as long as he returns to Beijing as much as possible, the princes can immediately go back to the palace, and their lives will not have too many intersections.
The old lady also doesn't like the princes to live at home, although they are all juniors, but after all, the identity of the family is there, where are their grandchildren looking comfortable. These days, they have been here, and even Brother Yun has not come to greet him.
"It's still early to return to Beijing, I heard your father say that although he can step down from the prefect of Qingzhou immediately, His Majesty also gave him something to do, let him take the two princes together, it can be regarded as an experience, and it will take another three or four months." The old lady pressed her eyebrows and said.
Doudou secretly cursed the emperor a few words, what a thing!
These people who are emperors are not good things, they obviously want to reuse their father, but they have to toss repeatedly, and now it is even more excessive, your own child needs to be experienced, why did you come to her father?
Doudou smiled at the old lady and said, "Whatever, how should we live." I've been around for a few months, Xiaojing and Xiaowei probably don't recognize me anymore, grandmother, why don't we go and see them together? ”
The old lady said to Mother Wu and Su Xin, who had been standing aside for a long time, "What time are you going?" ”
Mother Wu went to the back room to look at the Western table clock and replied, "Old lady, it's not the end of time." ”
The old lady held Doudou's arm and stood up: "Let's go, let's go see your two younger brothers, it's time for them to take a nap." ”
Doudou and Frangipani hugged the old lady, and the group walked towards the courtyard of the two little brothers of the Yuan family. (To be continued.) )
