567. in the first place
Although the ancestor of the Fuguo Gong is the son of Emperor Gaozong, he was also a long-term success, but in this generation, it has a faint decline, if you just look at some places, the Fuguo Mansion is not even as powerful as an earl's mansion.
Prince An is among so many clan relatives, and she only goes to get close to a family that is almost in decline, which makes people have to guess, what is the deep meaning here? Or when did the Duke of Fuguo talk to Prince An? So, does it mean that the Duke of Fuguo is about to recover?
This conjecture caused the Zhenguo Mansion, which had always been opposed to the Fuguo Mansion, to become agitated.
Headed by the Duchess of Zhenguo.
When she heard the news, she was leaning on the beauty leaning on the fish food to feed the fish, and the steward came back and said, saying that Prince An sent some rouge rice to the Fuguo Mansion, she didn't care at the time, these things were not unheard of before, Prince An has always been a good person, but everything on the top of the etiquette is very thoughtful, and although the rouge rice is precious, it is not a special thing in the eyes of the clan.
It's just that she didn't expect that Prince and Princess An would only send three copies, and these three families have the Fuguo Mansion at home.
She was furious at the moment, and threw all the fish food she was holding into the lake, and she didn't recover for a long time.
It wasn't until her daughter-in-law Liang came to discuss with her a few days later, and the wedding banquet of Prince An's brother, that she blushed and scolded Liang.
“…… You idiot, didn't I tell you earlier that you should take care of Prince An, how did you deal with me? If you hold Prince An in your hands, will she be able to get close to the Fuguo Mansion and alienate us?"
Liang was scolded for no reason, and the anger of being scolded also turned up, and he laughed mercilessly at his mother-in-law at the moment:
"The daughter-in-law has done her duty, even if she is friendly with Prince and Princess An, she has never lowered her voice and fallen into the face of our Zhenguo Mansion, and the mother-in-law's blame is not half reasonable, if the mother-in-law dislikes the daughter-in-law and does not take care of it, you might as well go and put down her body and make friends with Prince and Princess An to see if the princess is as easy to fool as you said!"
In the end, the Liang family actually raised his eyebrows, and looked at the Duchess of Zhenguo with a bit of irony on his face: "And why doesn't Prince An get close to our Zhenguo Mansion, isn't the reason for this unclear to the mother-in-law herself?"
She clearly stabbed the weakness of the Duchess of Zhenguo with her words, and made it clear that it was because of her identity as the daughter of the Wei family that Princess An would be unwilling to have a deep friendship with the Duke of Zhenguo, even if she begged Prince and Princess An for nothing.
The Duchess of Zhenguo was so angry that the three souls were about to get out of her body, and immediately scolded the Liang family for being unfilial.
Liang glanced at her coldly, and said leisurely without fear at all: "If the mother-in-law asks the daughter-in-law to do something else, the daughter-in-law will naturally abide by filial piety, but in this matter, I ask the mother-in-law to forgive the daughter-in-law for being difficult to obey." ”
With that, Liang turned around and left.
The Duchess of Zhenguo was so angry that she smashed a few good Ruyao tea cups on the table, and only then did she feel that the anger in her heart was smoother.
It's not that she doesn't know that the world is praising the high and low, but this happened to herself, and she still feels a little uneasy.
Princess An, she doesn't have the ability to move, but isn't her son's daughter-in-law still at her mercy? What about her prominent family background?
So that night, she followed Zhen Guogong and said that her son was so old, and only her daughter-in-law was easy to serve inappropriately, and she thought about taking a few concubines for her son, so that she could spread the branches.
Zhen Guogong thought about it and agreed.
And the Duchess of Zhenguo cried and said, how she didn't know why Prince An didn't get close to the Zhenguo Mansion, even if she was wrong in a thousand ways, she must not take the Zhenguo Mansion into the quagmire together, she cried and said that if the Fuguo Mansion was in the market in the future, she was afraid that she would become a sinner.
Zhen Guogong is a soft-eared person, the first half of his life has been listening to the arrangement of his own mother, and since he got married, he has been listening to his daughter-in-law's words, he has always been a person who has been managed to death, hearing his daughter-in-law crying in front of him, he immediately inflated himself, reassured her that she doesn't have to worry, he has his own way to make friends with Prince An, so that his daughter-in-law does not have to worry.
And he turned around and asked the little guy to summon his staff to discuss.
……
Different from the Zhenguo Mansion is the attitude of the people in the Fuguo Mansion.
Maybe others won't know why Prince and Princess An are close to their mansion, but Su, as the Duchess of Fuguo, knows. And Fu Guogong was taught by the third wife since he was a child, knowing that a peck and a drink have their own fixed number, and they also know the truth of holding one head and pressing the other.
To put it bluntly, Prince and Princess An just wanted to use the Fuguo Mansion to tell the family of Yunfu City that the person she wanted to support, even if it had fallen into the dust, would be noble again in a moment.
And they don't care at all, or they can't say they don't care, they can only say they don't care.
Because there are too many heirs in the Fuguo Mansion, and because the third wife has never passed away, the five-room population is crowded together, only their big house, there are five or six children from the concubine, plus the children from the concubine keep jumping out, they have been unable to make ends meet for many years, and in these years, only relying on the meager silver of the Fuguo Gong and the field shop in the Gongzhong to support the expenses of a large family, the housekeeper's Su family is really a headache.
So this time, even if Prince and Princess An have other thoughts, as long as they can let a large family live with dignity and dignity, it will be better than anything else.
On the day she received the rouge rice, she consulted with the Auxiliary Prince.
"Since Prince An took the initiative to show favor, then we can't be too disrespectful, we must do something to come out, so that Prince An knows that we can still be useful at the critical moment. ”
In particular, Prince An has been in charge of the Ministry of Industry, which has always been a yamen full of oil and water, and this is also an opportunity for them to turn over.
Chu Yunjue, the Duke of Fuguo, has not been in charge of an errand with real power for a long time, he is not the children of other clans, he only thinks about the inheritance left by his ancestors, and lives by guarding the ancestral industry, he is a person with real ambitions, he always feels that he was born in the clan, even if he has empty revenge, he can't achieve it, and he is very anxious, thinking that he will go on like this for the rest of his life.
Suddenly, with such a good opportunity, he naturally wanted to catch it.
He immediately agreed: "Isn't Prince An recuperating from his injuries these days? The Ministry of Industry has mostly deposited files for many years, and it is much more difficult for him to cook, but I know the details of the two servants of the Ministry of Industry, Prince An has just come back for only two years, and he is afraid that there are many things that he has to hear from others, and some things still need to be dealt with as soon as possible, so as to facilitate Prince An's actions." ”
Even if the auxiliary prince sharpened his knife, he looked ready to show off his skills and do a big job.
……
For Chanyi, the person who caused all this right and wrong in Yunfu City, she didn't know how many splashes her action would make, and she didn't care very much.
To her, these things were not as important as Chu Shaoyuan's words or a frown.
For example, at this moment, she was holding the pen and depicting the young man leaning on the beauty couch in front of her with a serious stroke.
The young man's eyebrows and eyes were affectionate, a pair of amber eyes seemed to be able to speak, staring at her directly, his face was clearly smiling and not smiling, Xu was afraid that she would be annoyed when she laughed, so he endured it for a long time, and even his eyes were full of smiles.
She bit the jade inlaid on the end of the pole with her head sideways, frowned slightly, and after sketching a few strokes, she seemed to be dissatisfied with the growing smile on the corner of his mouth, and twisted her eyebrows and said: "Aren't you serious, you've been painting for a long time, and you haven't finished painting yet, do you want to laugh at the dinner?"
The young man hurriedly tried to put away that little smile and remained silent.
But the expression on his face was a little unnatural, like a dummy, not vivid at all.
Chanyi's eyebrows didn't loosen, and she wrinkled a little tighter.
"Yishu!" The sweet voice finally fell, vaguely annoyed.
Chu Shaoyuan smiled, as if a pool of spring water had melted, the smile on the corners of his eyes and eyebrows couldn't stop scattering, he got off the beauty couch, slowly moved over, and looked down to see him in her pen, but the drawing paper was instantly grabbed by her hand and crumpled into a ball.
Annoyed, she put the jade pen holder in her hand on the pen holder, and turned to leave.
Chu Shaoyuan hurriedly grabbed her, his fingertips slid and squeezed into her fingertips, and his ten fingers were clasped tightly.
There was a bit of indifference in his voice: "I originally said that it is good to draw a picture at will, but you are so serious, you and I see each other every day, and we also share the same bed at night, where do you need to draw my appearance, if you want to see it, just look at me, where is a portrait that is really good-looking?"
The tone of his words was lingering and tactful, but there was an urge to pinch his face.
Chanyi looked at him carefully, as if she knew him for the first time.
He was a little cramped, tilted his head, his long eyelashes blinked a few times, his red lips bent, and his face leaned over and kissed the corner of her lips.
Chanyi's heart jumped inexplicably, only to feel that he was a little enchanting in front of him, and his smiling appearance was clearly a little shy, but he was so seductive.
She couldn't hold back, her hand reached over and pinched his face fiercely.
"What do you want to do when you're so pretty?" seemed a little annoyed, and her eyes lit up as she looked at him.
Chu Shaoyuan smiled so badly, let alone politely with her, he hugged her delicate cheek and kissed it, it was clearly a lingering kiss, he was gentle and gentle, but he also had a bit of a spoiling taste in it, as if he was afraid that he would scare her away with such a kiss.
After the kiss, he even reluctantly stuck out the tip of his tongue and gently licked the corner of her lips.
He squinted his eyes slightly, the expression on his face was as if he had drunk the white of aged pear blossoms, and there was a bit of drunkenness hidden between his eyebrows.
Chanyi's heart was pounding in a panic, and she only felt that these days, he in Xiaoshan Ju had become more and more demonized, which made people overwhelmed and caught off guard.
……
ps: Xiaoyi's little soil dog got small, looking at its teary eyes, I felt so sad, I went to see it for two days in a row, and the veterinarian said that there were three days to get out of danger, and suddenly felt that I was so poor, and I hid my face and ran in tears.
