Chapter 85
; The rain was murmuring, and the two maids were outside saying that the princess of Su Wangfu had been decided, but when Ying Huaizhen heard it, it was like a shock.
Just because she knew that King Su was punished for rebellion in her previous life, she was really relieved after Guo Jianyi told her the news that she was not in agreement with the prince.
How could she have thought that she had escaped, but Su Wangfu had taken a fancy to Minli again.
But I heard the torrential rain rattling and rattling, and it seemed to be falling more urgently. On the window, Ying Pei nodded, and said thoughtfully: "It turns out that the Su Wangfu is actually Tang Shilang's sister."
Zhang Zhen lay on the windowsill, turned his head and asked, "Brother Pei recognizes it?"
Ying Pei said: "Not only do you know that Huaizhen and Tang Shilang are familiar with each other, but she is also the best with Sister Minli" Speaking of this, he went to see Ying Huaizhen, and at a glance, he saw that her face was not very good.
Ying Pei hurriedly asked, "Sister, what's wrong with you, but you feel cold because you open the window?"
When Zhang Zhen heard this, she quickly got up, stretched out her hand and closed the window, and as soon as the two windows were closed, the room was a little darker.
Ying Huaizhen also felt a little cold, so he reluctantly said: "It's better, it's just that they just said it, I don't know"
Ying Pei saw her about this and said, "I'm afraid it's decided, otherwise, most of the sister Minli will tell you." β
Ying Huaizhen nodded slightly, and suddenly said, "Since that's the case, I'm going to go and talk to her." He muttered in his mouth, but the "joy" was extremely difficult to say.
Ying Pei smiled: "It's time to say hello to Sister Minli" Who knew that before he finished speaking, he saw Ying Huaizhen turn around and call the little girl.
Outside the house, Xiu'er heard the sound and entered the door, Ying Huaizhen said: "Where did the second grandmother go, ask someone to tell her, I want to go out and visit Sister Minli in the Tang Mansion." β
Xiu'er hurriedly went out to listen, Ying Pei was stunned when she heard it, and looked up to see that the rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, and the water on the ground was overflowing, as if the entire Qiankun world was soaked in water, so she hurriedly stopped and said: "My sister is so anxious, why do you want to go now?"
Zhang Zhen also thought the same as him, so he said: "Huaizhen, the rain is so heavy, it's not fun to fall if you don't pay attention, and it will be made another day." β
Where can Ying Huaizhen wait until another day, he can't sit still, so he only shakes his head.
After a while, Xiu'er came back and said, "The second grandmother is in the upper room, and I heard that the girl is going out, so she only asked me to come back and say: The girl is weak, and the rain is heavy today, if it is damp or cold, it will not be good, it is better to wait for the rain to stop and then go." β
Ying Huaizhen was just anxious and refused to listen, but at this time, it was like a sudden illness meeting a slow manzhong, so he urged Xiu'er to say it again.
Seeing this, Ying Pei and Zhang Zhen couldn't help but persuade him. Not long after, Li Xianshu actually came back by herself, and said with a smile when she entered the door: "It's really my little ancestor, even if I was told to live in peace for a moment, you still want to go out, you see" It turned out that she came from the upper room, although there were maids along the way to follow the umbrella, and she didn't walk from those waterlogged places, but she still wet her skirt and shoes and socks.
Li Xianshu said, took out a handkerchief to wipe the rain on her face, and said: "You listen to your mother's words, what can you do if you go another day, Miss Tang is still waiting for you, how long have you been doing this nonsense, do you want to ask your mother to worry about you again?"
Ying Huaizhen saw Li Xianshu come back in person, and knew that he couldn't be forced at this time, so he said: "Then I won't go now, if the rain is lighter, my mother will allow me to go." β
Li Xianshu saw her so stubborn, so she had to say: "Okay, my aunt and grandmother depend on you."
Not long after Li Xianshu went, Ying Pei Zhang Zhen also went, and Ying Huaizhen simply asked the maid to help change her clothes, comb her head and face, and look like she was ready to go out when the rain stopped.
However, the rain slowed down for a while, and there was no time to stop. Ying Huai was really anxious, but he was helpless, he watched with his eyes until dusk in the afternoon, and the rain finally became sparse.
Ying Huaizhen was busy urging Xiu'er again, but Li Xianshu came back by herself, and when she entered the door, she saw that she had stopped dressing up and had been waiting for a long time, so she sighed: "But how can people rest assured, I don't know what to say." Okay, you don't have to stare at me, I have already asked someone to prepare the car, you just remember to go quickly, don't worry about the time, it's only serious to come back early. β
Ying Huaizhen listened, then smiled, rushed up to hug Li Xianshu, and said, "Thank you, mother" Let go and go out.
was so anxious that Li Xianshu shouted: "If you dare to run on the ground, you will come back to me" Seeing that Ying Huaizhen slowed down his pace, Li Xianshu was busy and ordered Xiu'er to follow, and if there was a mistake, he would break his leg.
The carriage was walking along the street, Ying Ying was really anxious, but he still didn't know what to say when he saw Minli.
As soon as he came, Ying Huaizhen knew that Min Li had a Ling Jingshen in her heart, so she guessed that Min Li would definitely not be happy when she was decided by the Su Wangfu, but she didn't know what kind of sadness she would become.
What's more, Ying Huai is really worried, for fear that it is because she knocked on the side with Xiao Tang last time, Xiao Tang once said that she would choose a good son-in-law for Minli, but it is because of this, she also picked the prince of Su Wangfu, if so, wouldn't it be a great sin.
Second, Ying Huaizhen really doesn't know what the attitude of the Tang family to this family affair is, it stands to reason that the Tang family belongs to the family with a transcendent status in the court, and the power in the family is even more intertwined, not to mention anything else, only to say that the latest generation of the Tang family is like the two elder brothers of Xiao Tang, the eldest brother is married to the eldest daughter of the Wentaishi family, the second brother is married to the second daughter of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Industry, and several girls of the Tang family, but all those who are out of the cabinet, regardless of the concubine, the person who marries is also from the princely family, or the scholarly family of the noble family, none of them are ordinary peopleγ
Before Lin Shenzhou ordered Lin for Xiao Tang, there were rumors in the market that the emperor was very interested in giving Tang Jiashang a princess who did not know whether it was true or not.
Therefore, on the surface, Tang Minli married to Su Wangfu as the princess, but there is indeed nothing to say.
Ying Huai really thought, clueless, slowly lifted the curtain, but saw that because of the rainy day, there are few pedestrians and vehicles on the road, but the houses are lined up, the water flows all over the ground, there are leaves on the ground that have been knocked down by the torrential rain, drifting with the water, but I don't know where to go, this moment of the scene, really: the sycamore is more and drizzle, dripping to dusk, this time, how a "sorrowful" word
Seeing the arrival of the vehicle, the people of the Tang Mansion were busy entering the house, while inviting Ying Huaizhen to enter, the mother-in-law inside greeted them first, and sent them to the second gate, and there were maids who went inside, Ying Huaizhen asked: "You girls can be at home"
The maids replied yes, and said with a smile: "It's there." Why did the second lady come in the rain, it can be seen that the affection for our girls is serious, and it just so happens that Miss Lin also came to this rainy day at noon, and the girls just laughed and relieved their boredom. β
Ying Huai really thinks that "boring" must be "extremely boring", but I'm afraid that he can't "laugh".
As he spoke, he arrived at Minli's boudoir, which had already been reported, and Minli's personal maid at the door saw that Ying Huaizhen was coming, so she frowned and whispered: "It's good that the girl is here, just take a look at our girl, since noon, the tears have not stopped, and we are not allowed to tell others to go, it is really urgent." β
Ying Huaizhen nodded, and when he entered the door, he saw Minli getting up from the table and standing sideways, still holding a handkerchief in her hand.
Ying Huaizhen called: "Sister"
Minli wiped away her tears, and then slowly raised her head, only to see that her two eyes were red and swollen from crying, miserable and miserable, not at all like the gentle and smiling appearance of the past.
Although Ying Huaizhen knew that she would be sad, she didn't expect that it would be like this, so she couldn't help but feel distressed, so she stepped forward and said: "Sister, don't cry, your eyes are swollen and don't look good, not to mention that too much sadness will inevitably hurt your body, and you have to take good care." β
Min Li saw that she didn't ask why she was crying, but just persuaded herself not to cry, and she knew in her heart that Ying Huaizhen had also heard about it, and since she said this, she must have some understanding.
When Min Li heard this, she couldn't feel sad in her heart, she opened her hand and hugged Ying Huaizhen, and cried again with a whimper.
Seeing this, the maids quietly retreated after serving tea, Ying Huaizhen had to persuade a few more words, and Minli slowly stopped.
Ying Huaizhen pulled her to sit down, and said, "I heard about the Su Wangfu, and it was true."
Min Li nodded slightly with tears, Ying Huaizhen bit her lip, looking at Min Li's shape, she simply didn't ask Min Li if she was willing, she only asked, "Why did you choose to be biased, what did Uncle Tang say?"
When Minli heard this, she couldn't help but want to cry again: just because most of the people who heard about this matter congratulated her, even Mrs. Tang, she only thought it was a good thing.
In front of those people, Min Li naturally didn't know how to do anything, she just endured the pain and barely made a little smile to deal with it, and only dared to cry secretly behind her back.
Unexpectedly, Ying Huaizhen didn't say those words that pierced her heart, Minli was ironing and sad in her heart, holding back her tears, and whispered: "I told my brother about this, and my brother only said that it was set by the uncle in the clan." β
It turned out that on the Tang family's side, Xiao Tang's two elder brothers were born to the eldest son of the Tang family, and Xiao Tang's father was the second son of Xiao Tang, who died early in his prime, so the eldest patriarch in the Tang family was actually Xiao Tang's eldest uncle.
And the big family, if you want to keep the ancestral foundation and stand tall in the court, you naturally have to make comprehensive preparations.
Xiao Tang's eldest brother married a young lady from the prince's family, so he had a heavy implication with the prince, and Xiao Tang has studied under Lin Shenzhou in the past few years, so he naturally does not deal with King Su, and Lin naturally does not get along with King Su, King Su is a royal family, and his power and prestige are second only to the prince, and it is naturally very unwise to openly offend.
And from the perspective of King Su's Mansion, no one else chooses, only the young lady of the Tang Mansion is selected, I am afraid that there is also a meaning in my heart, what King Su wants, is actually the statement of the Tang family.
If you refuse to marry King Su at this time, then you will really offend King Su to the point of no return, and it will be very detrimental to the balance of the whole situation.
Although Xiao Tang was unwilling, he was only one person, and the family affairs between Min Li and Su Wangfu were decided after repeated weighing by the parents in the clan, for the sake of the future and status of the entire Tang clan, Xiao Tang also understood in his heart, not to mention, even his own family affairs had to be decided by the Tang family and Lin Shenzhou.
Therefore, although Xiao Tang knew that Minli was unwilling, he just pretended to have nothing to do, and only appeased a few words.
How did Minli know that there would be such intrigues behind this family business, but she was just sad and crying, and she couldn't.
Ying Huaizhen naturally couldn't imagine that there was an intricate relationship behind a family affair, and he only accompanied Minli to talk for a while, and seeing that it was not early, Ying Huaizhen said: "Didn't I say that my sister was also there earlier, I thought I would meet it." β
Min Li said: "I talked to me for a long time before, and you left before you came, probably to see your mother, or to find your brother again."
Ying Huaizhen asked, "Is Uncle Tang back?"
Minli looked out the window and said, "It's time to come back this time, but I just ignore him, and no one really thinks about me." Speaking of this, he took a handkerchief to wipe his tears, and since Ying Huaizhen entered the door, he has changed a few handkerchiefs.
Ying Huaizhen held her hand and said bitterly: "Sister, you listen to me, don't cry, your eyes are red and swollen like this, and you turn around and scratch it again, but how can it be good, you are already sad in your heart, why bother tossing your body again"
Min Li deeply understood that she really cared about herself, so she nodded and sighed: "I know that when it comes to it, only you know my heart best." β
Ying Huaizhen shook her hand and said, "Sister, I'll go see Uncle Tang and come to see you another day, if you feel bored, you can also go to me, don't break your body." β
Min Li said: "What am I afraid of now, it is better to cry to death now, and I am more comfortable." β
Min Li said with hatred and resentment, and was afraid that Ying Huaizhen would be worried, so she smiled at her and said, "That's it, it's not too early, you just go quickly, thank you for talking to me for half a day, my heart has been much better, don't worry, naturally I won't cry anymore."
Ying Huaizhen looked at her tearful and smiling appearance, and couldn't help but feel sad, and finally reluctantly went out, so he asked the maid to lead the way and go to the study to find Xiao Tang.
Unexpectedly, when I arrived outside the study, I saw a maid who followed Lin standing by the door, and suddenly saw them coming, so she said, "It's Miss Ying, when will the girl come?"
Ying Huaizhen glanced at the room and saw that the door was open, so he asked quietly, "I just came from Sister Minli, and your girl is also there."
The maid smiled: "But it's not just that Tang Gongzi is also back, I'll say something."
Ying Huaizhen hesitated, thinking that Lin Zai, wouldn't it be disturbing to come by himself, but there were many things he wanted to say to Xiao Tang in his heart, and he was hesitating, but he had already heard it inside, and heard Xiao Tang's voice and said: "It's Huaizhen who is here, just come in quickly." β
Ying Huaizhen listened, then lowered his shoulders, let out a sigh, and walked into the door with his head bowed.
Ying Huaizhen arrived at the study, only walked a few steps, and saw the skirt swaying in front of her, she raised her head slightly, but saw Lin Zheng walking out from behind the bookcase, with a slight red face.
Ying Huaizhen fixed his eyes and took another look, and saw Xiao Tang sitting behind the bookcase, with no expression on his face. Seeing this, Ying Huaizhen's heart jumped slightly, and he secretly felt that "it's really not a coincidence that I came."
However, in the end, it was difficult to ride a tiger, so he hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and saw Xiao Tang and Lin respectively.
Before Xiao Tang could speak, Lin had already smiled and said, "Why is it getting dark when Sister Huaizhen comes here, my sister is so good as Minli, why don't you stay in the house tonight?"
Ying Huaizhen said: "No, I just went to visit Sister Minli, because I had something to say to Uncle Tang, so I came to see it by the way." It's going to be gone soon. β
Although Lin walked out from behind the table, he still didn't leave, just stood opposite Xiao Tang at the table, looked back at Ying Huaizhen, and said: "Everyone says that it's a rainy day, and the younger sister of the guest day specially chose this rainy day to come, and people don't keep guests, but it seems that they don't know how to be polite." β
When Ying Huaizhen heard this, she vaguely felt that Lin's two words seemed to mean something, she was surprised, frowned slightly, but did not make a sound.
At this moment, Xiao Tang got up and said: "You have been here for a long time, you should also go to your wife's side to sit, why do you only say Huaizhen, don't you also come on a rainy day"
When Lin heard this, he snorted at him and said, "Why did you drive me away as soon as Huaizhen came?" β
Ying Huaizhen still didn't say a word, Xiao Tang smiled a little, looked at Lin, and only said softly: "Why do you talk like that?"
Seeing him like this, Lin smiled and said, "That's it, I'm joking with you, I also want to go to see my wife, so I won't bother you to talk about serious things." With that, he glanced at Ying Huaizhen and walked to the door by himself.
When Lin arrived at the door, he suddenly turned around, as if he was about to say something, paused, and after all, he just smiled, turned around and took the maid away.
When Xiao Tang saw her go, he sighed, then looked at Ying Huaizhen again, and asked with a smile: "Actually, I was about to ask you, what do you do on a rainy day and you are not afraid of catching a cold."
Because of Lin Fangcai's two words, Ying Huaizhen was unprovoked, so he didn't move forward, but took a step back, and said: "Uncle Tang, I only came because I just heard the news that Sister Minli and the prince of Suwangfu are married."
Xiao Tang knew that if she wasn't in a hurry, she wouldn't come to the door at this time, so when he heard the words, he said: "Exactly, you are here for this matter, since you see Allergic Li, she is still crying."
Ying Huaizhen listened, then he looked up at him and said, "Since Uncle Tang understands, he should also know that Sister Minli doesn't like this family business, why is it still there?"
Xiao Tang smiled slightly: "The order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, where is her turn to like it or not, you are a good girl, if people hear these words, they will definitely laugh at you." β
When Ying Huaizhen heard this, he was speechless for a moment, and his heart ached faintly: thinking of her previous life, she only loved Ling Jue alone, and she wanted to marry him no matter what, but Ying Lanfeng didn't say anything about "the words of the matchmaker of her parents", just because she liked it, she agreed to promote it without saying a word.
Once upon a time, she simply thought that girls all over the world could be as happy as her.
Ying Huaizhen calmed down, and said: "Then don't mention Sister Minli, Uncle Tang, do you think King Su and King Su Mansion are okay?"
Xiao Tang asked, but was silent for a moment before looking at her and asking, "How do you say this?"
Ying Huai was really anxious, but those words naturally could not be revealed, if this son said the words "King Su will rebel", or even vaguely revealed the slightest hint of this meaning, then it was not King Su who was only afraid of death.
It's just that Xiao Tang is hateful, he doesn't say anything, he just looks at her.
Ying Huaizhen thought of Minli's swollen eyes crying, and thought of the situation in his previous life, his hands were twisted and twisted, and then he said: "In short, I am me"
Speaking of which, Ying Huaizhen was forced to retreat, and it was when he couldn't think of it, when he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of coming alone.
At that moment, Ying Huaizhen looked at Xiao Tang and said, "There is someone who told me that King Su and King Su can't marry." β
Xiao Tang was very surprised when he suddenly heard her say this, and the corners of his mouth were three points of smile, and he asked with interest: "Oh, who told you?"
Ying Huaizhen bit his lip and bit out a white mark on the red lip, Xiao Tang was looking at her intently, seeing this, he suddenly wanted to tell her not to be so ruthless, he looked a little painful for her
was in a trance, but saw Ying Huaizhen looking left and right, and saw that the maid was at the door, and there was no one else around, so he whispered again: "I only told Uncle Tang that you can't tell others that Mr. Zhu told me."
When Xiao Tang heard the words "Mr. Bamboo", he woke up again and asked repeatedly: "It's Mr. Zhu who I invited to treat you last time."
Ying Huai secretly complained in his heart, and just thought: "I don't want to go to the hell of pulling out my tongue, but I can't see death and not save the Divine Bodhisattva, forgive me." β
Ying Huaizhen saw that Xiao Tang was treating each other with a straight face, and his heart was a little more steady, so he nodded and said: "It was Mr. Zhu who said it, so Uncle Tang wants to think about it, don't let Sister Minli marry into Suwangfu."
