Chapter 411: Freemasonry

When Xue Niang came, she was very uneasy, she rarely had direct contact with the princess on weekdays, and she was all passed on through big girls such as guò green vines, and now the princess summoned her, I don't know when, did she know the careful thoughts of Yuemian, and wanted to be angry?

After entering the door, I saw a green vine and a maid waiting in the house.

After stepping forward and saluting, the princess asked her to sit down with a pleasant face.

Xue Niang was even more uneasy, and she felt that the more pleasant the master was, the more good things would be, where she dared to sit, but the master had nothing to say, and she didn't dare to ask, only said that she was a subordinate, and her status was humble, so she didn't dare to sit.

Su Yiqing is not reluctant, some people are used to being subordinate, if you let her sit down, she will be even more uneasy.

Motioning for the green vine to take a few steps back.

It is equivalent to that only she and Xue Niang are left in the house, she decided not to beat around the bush so as not to worry Xue Niang, and said first in the first sentence: "Xue Niang, you don't have to worry, you didn't do anything wrong, I called you, it's just ...... I want to say a few words from my heart, as a woman."

This opening sentence was a little strange, but Xue Niang's heart settled down a little, she knew that she really did something wrong, and it would never be such a strange opening statement.

Su Yiqing continued: "I know what it's like to live alone, and I used to think that I would live like that for the rest of my life."

Xue Niang's eyes widened unexpectedly, and it took a long time to react, and she hurriedly said: "The princess is a nobleman, and her blessings are profound, not comparable to ordinary people."

"Identity and status are just a false name, and in the end, I am also an ordinary woman." Su Yiqing looked at Xue Niang, dressed in a cyan dress, with a little light makeup, two silver hairpins on her head, and a magnolia flower. It looks very simple, and then look at the face, there is no need for hard work in the Dingwang Mansion, and the degree of food and clothing is good, so it seems to be several years younger than the actual age, and it looks like it is about twenty-six or seventeen years old. This is a white-collar elite. At most, she was just given the name of a leftover woman, and she wasn't old.

Xue Niang vaguely guessed what Su Yiqing wanted to say, and generally used a topic that started with a woman. In the end, they all said men, it seems that the princess is still wary of herself, maybe it's the matter of Yuemian, or maybe it's the recent handling of a qiē thing in the two places of Linglong Garden and Liuliyuan.

"Princess...... That's what I'm saying." Xue Niang may have pretended to be inarticulate for years. It has become a habit to have or feel uneasy. I just said this sentence dryly, which is not an appropriate time.

Su Yiqing looked at Xue Niang and said softly: "Xue Niang, I really don't mean anything else, I just just think that women really shouldn't be lonely all their lives. What do you think?"

"Thank you for your concern." Xue Niang lowered her head, her expression was a little humble, "The slave maid is just a lowly person. It's enough to have a bite to eat, and the rest don't dare to ask for extravagance."

Speaking of which, for the sake of it. How did Xue Niang not know the princess's hints, but she really didn't understand the princess's intentions, she was just a subordinate, a dispensable subordinate in the palace, why did the princess tell her this?

"Do you know what it means to be a Freemason?" Su Yiqing looked at Xue Niang and said quietly.

Xue Niang's body shook and raised her head slightly, as if she couldn't believe it.

Su Yiqing continued: "When I saw you, I remembered me back then, sitting in this position, many things have changed, but you remind me of the past."

"The slave is terrified." Xue Niang lowered her head, her palms were slightly clenched, and her palms were full of sweat.

"I can understand your thoughts now, but I think it's better for women to marry, don't you want to have a home? Are children around their knees?" Su Yiqing looked at Xue Niang's eyes.

Xue Niang's nails clenched into her flesh, and she whispered: "A lowly person like a slave doesn't dare to have any ideas."

"In that case, what do you think of me being the master for you?" For the first time, Su Yiqing used the tone of a superior to point fingers at other people's lives, many things are good to get used to, I thought it was difficult before, but now I don't feel guilty at all.

Getting used to it is a terrible thing.

"Slaves and maids obey the orders of the princess." Xue Niang didn't dare to have the slightest opinion, she was cautious all her life, knowing that the master's words could not be refuted, even if the tone of the master's words was kind, on the surface it was to discuss with you, but in fact, you had no room for opposition.

"That's good." Su Yiqing smiled gently, "There are many suitable candidates inside and outside the house, you see what you like, literati or martial arts?"

"The slave and maid obey the princess's arrangement." Xue Niang lowered her eyebrows and said, if you want to say that there is no matter of opinion at all, but who calls her a subordinate, even if the master tells her to jump into the fire pit, she can only jump hard, and her previous experience tells her that there is no benefit in resisting.

Su Yiqing didn't say anything more, just let Xue Niang think about it again, and she was not in a hurry to think clearly in the next few days before answering.

Xue Niang returned to the house a little dejected.

Fang Cai's scene is like a dream, as a subordinate, when she was young, she also thought about her future countless times, and also thought that one day the master would marry her wherever she wanted, and even more thought, is it to take advantage of a little opportunity to choose, choose a person who can see the past to marry, but as she gets older, this worry is getting less and less, and the opportunity to choose is smaller, and slowly she dies of this heart.

Some time ago, Yuemian came to mention this to her once, with Yuemian's marriage, she didn't have a single relative around her, and it was not without regrets, when Yuemian said, her heart was also slightly moved, but after all, she still abandoned this little bit of heartbeat, she is used to being alone, and she doesn't want to live by a man, and life in the palace is changing, and I don't know when the catastrophe will fall from the sky.

Month.[,!] She also understands the true thoughts of the sleeping couple, isn't she afraid that the Dingwang Mansion will fall and affect the two of them? So when Yuemian had this idea at the beginning, she didn't persuade her, just let the two of them go, it would not be a good thing if they could really leave completely.

It's a pity that Yuemian's heart is a little big, and she is used to living a good life in the palace, and she can endure the hardships for a while, but if she wants to suffer for a lifetime, she is absolutely unwilling.

Dingwangfu has many ears and eyes, and he must know the little bit of caution about Yuemian. It's just that judging from the princess's way of doing things these days, she doesn't mind such a trivial matter, and she doesn't bother to pay attention to it.

But why is it like this now?

She's just a half-old, I really don't like her, you can dispose of it at will, even if you let her marry casually, it's a matter of one sentence. There is no need for the princess to talk to a subordinate like her about that evil.

Snow Lady thought about it. Putting aside all the impossibilities, the only thing left is that the princess is telling the truth.

Maybe the princess saw the princess's past from her. As the princess said, if something hadn't happened, the princess would probably be lonely in the countryside for the rest of her life.

But there is still one thing she can't figure out, the older maids in the palace say much. She is not the only one, why does the princess look at her differently?

Can't figure it out. Xue Niang simply didn't want to think about it, and then thought about what she could think.

The princess asked her to choose whether to marry a literati or a martial artist, what would she prefer?

The literati are naturally more gentle and considerate, just like the moon sleeps in the moon. Husband and wife are affectionate, envious of others, but think again. A few ruffians can scare Yuemian into a dissipation of his soul, and he can't do a good business.

She immediately abandoned marrying a powerless literati. In this troubled world, it is more secure to marry a martial artist, although the martial artist is rude, but obviously more responsible, or a martial artist.

Even if he returns to the countryside to farm that day, the martial artist has the strength of his body, and the scholar is really useless.

At her age, it is naturally impossible to marry a young man, probably about forty years old, most of such a person is a widower, maybe the children have reached the age of marrying, it should be certain to call the mother when she enters the door, but she will be a grandmother when she enters the door...... Eh, that's embarrassing.

It would be better if you had children who were younger, and preferably daughters...... The more Xue Niang thought about it, the more she suddenly came to a problem.

In fact, she is not so repulsed by the princess's arrangement, maybe deep down, she also longs to have a home, but she is too worried, so she is restrained.

Since it's a foregone conclusion, accept it calmly and don't twist and pinch it.

After Xue Niang made up her mind, she returned to the princess generously after two days and said her little request.

Su Yiqing asked Mama Qing to write them down one by one.

Subsequently, I looked for a candidate according to Xue Niang's requirements, but this candidate was not so easy to find, Xue Niang was a little older, but she was beautiful and had a gentle personality, so she couldn't marry a rude man casually.

But the conditions are good, most of them have already started a family, even if there are one or two widowers, people also have seventeen or eighteen-year-old girls to choose from, the twisted melon is not sweet, and you can't force people to marry Xue Niang.

When she was in a dilemma, Mama Qing thought of someone.

It's Mrs. Quan's fourth.

Mrs. Kwon Si has always been active, knows a lot of people, is easy to have a suitable candidate, and is also more dedicated.

She quietly found Mrs. Quan.

I don't say it's the princess's idea, just say that it's the goddaughter I recognized in the palace, and it's a first-class good talent in terms of talent, but I'm older, and I've never married, and now I want to find a suitable person to marry, I hope Mrs. Quan can help.

Mrs. Quan Si has always been in awe of the people in the palace, and she doesn't dare to underestimate one of them, although she is determined not to be a matchmaker for others, but the people in the palace are not as good as others.

Quan Si inquired carefully and inquired about a good candidate, a distant relative of her mother's family.

Coincidentally, this person's surname is Feng, called Feng Liang, thirty-six years old, earlier was a martial arts man, in the yamen to catch the head, and later because of a duty injury retired, he stayed in the yamen to train new catchers, or to do chores or something, his injury was injured in the leg, no big deal, walking on weekdays is not very visible, just can't run fast, as a fast chase thief can't be done, his wife died early, leaving only a daughter, now twelve years old, in the early years, I was afraid that my stepmother would let my daughter be wronged, so I didn't marry again, but I saw that my daughter was getting older day by day, There is no woman in the family, no one helps to raise a daughter, family affairs and the like are a little troublesome, I want to remarry one, since I want to be able to take care of my daughter, naturally I can't be too young, those little girls who don't know anything in seventeen or eighteen don't want it, even if it's a widow, as long as the heart is good.

The Zhang guard who Liu'er married at the beginning took Feng Liang's errand, I heard that the two got along well, and where did Zhang Guard know that Feng Liang's personality is really good, he is a man, responsible, and has no bad habits.

Probably this is called marriage.

Su Yiqing listened to the words of Mrs. Quan Si from Mama Qing, and felt that this family affair was good.

Of course, the two of them have to look at each other.

Mrs. Quan Si and Mama Qing have arranged these things well, and they are very quick to arrange each other and other matters.

Xue Niang looked at Feng Liang and felt that this person was burly, although his appearance was not handsome, but he was still Zhou Zheng, and he was a few years younger than she originally thought, and he was more suitable for her, and there was only one daughter in the family who could marry in a few years, and it was really good to face a son who could marry a wife without entering the door

[,! ]

Feng Liang looked at Xue Niang, she was like a fairy, although she was over thirty years old, she didn't have any wrinkles on her face, she looked twenty-five or sixteen years old at most, she looked better than the official wives they had seen in the yamen, and her bearing was extraordinary, she was worthy of being from the palace, but it was different, and it was love at first sight.

In this way, there is naturally nothing to say.

Handle happy events and so on, Xue Niang is just a subordinate of the princess, and she can't marry from the palace, and now she is staring at the Dingwang Mansion outside, so it is inconvenient to do it on a large scale, so she asked Xue Niang to beat the remaining beauties and singers in the Liuli Courtyard and Linglong Garden, Linglong Yuan is a good family, I really don't want to go and can't get rid of people.

Those singers in the Liuli Courtyard, as soon as they heard that they didn't have to wait for the deed to expire, they could leave the palace with all their savings and rewards, and they could get a large amount of severance pay, so they were naturally in a hurry to leave, the prince didn't know when he would come back, even if he came back, there was no place for them in the palace, instead of wasting his time, it was better to leave quickly and find another opportunity elsewhere.

Xue Niang was mixed in among those people, and quietly lived in Mrs. Quan's house temporarily, and she was not the only one, but also two singers who couldn't find a place to go for a while were placed in Mengfu, and it was also entrusted to Mrs. Quan to inquire if there were any good people to marry, so that it would not attract attention.

When the time comes, Mrs. Quan Si asked Xue Niang to marry in the name of her godsister.

is completely out of touch with Dingwangfu, like changing her identity and marrying Feng Liang, she will be an ordinary woman in the future.

Xue Niang is grateful, she is a smart person, and she can naturally judge from these things very lightly that the princess really thinks about her and does her best, and even fears that others will notice her, and entangle her like the idea of playing moon sleep, and deliberately come up with such a good way, in the future, she will no longer be a slave, but an innocent commoner.
