Chapter 299: Change of Mind
Asked about the Li family's plans, Mrs. Meng hesitated again.
Su Yiqing was surprised: "Shouldn't they have made specific requests yet?" ”
Could it be that the Li family is not afraid that marrying Meng Yan will not get any benefits?
Su Yiqing spoke too directly, and Mrs. Meng was a little embarrassed and said, "The Li family really wants to marry." ”
Su Yiqing didn't distinguish either, and smiled: "That's good, I'll ask the prince to help check the character and talent of the Li family's son, since he is studying in the capital, his talent and general behavior can't deceive people." ”
When talking about the general behavior, Su Yiqing accentuated her tone, but roughly, the ones that everyone knows are too secretive, I am afraid that they will not be able to find out for a while.
"Then thank you Fu'er, your sister Yan's happiness is all counting on you." Mrs. Meng said gratefully and politely.
Su Yiqing's face changed when she heard this, and she said seriously: "Mother, don't say that, if you say this, I won't dare to inquire, otherwise something really went wrong, wouldn't it be that I hurt Sister Yan." ”
"How can it? Fu'er, you are kind...... I really didn't mean that. Madame Meng nervously explained, she really said casually, there was no other meaning, the princess was so sensitive.
Su Yiqing immediately smiled, "Mother, don't be nervous, I'm just telling the truth, okay, since I have said this, I'll be a little more simple, if I were Sister Yan, I probably wouldn't agree to such a family matter, of course, purely personal opinion, after all, I'm still young and have little knowledge, I can't compare to my mother, if I don't agree, it's very simple that the Li family is too purposeful, although it may not be possible to find someone whose family style is stronger than the Li family, but at least I can find someone who is not so purposeful, but if my mother insists, I will still help my mother within my ability. ”
Mrs. Meng could not say anything else, and in the end she could only leave with a heart full of disappointment and entanglement.
At night. Even Yufeng came back drunk.
Su Yiqing hurriedly let the maid boil the sobering soup, and at the same time personally served Lian Yufeng to change clothes to help him to the bed, and gently wiped his body with a wet towel.
The drunk Lian Yufeng didn't talk nonsense like most drunks. Instead, his eyes were slightly closed, and he lay quietly. Without saying a word, his lips were tightly closed.
Su Yiqing stared at his perfect facial features, his cheeks were red when he was drunk, his black hair was scattered, and the whole person showed a strange beauty, but at this time, his brows were furrowed very tightly, as if he was in pain.
"Are you feeling bad?" Su Yiqing stroked Lian Yufeng's brow and muttered. "Is it because you get drunk and have a headache or too much stress, even if you are drunk, your vigilance is still so heavy, do you subconsciously know that you can't speak? All the talents are drunk outside. ”
She, the princess, is not good enough to share the burden for her husband, so he will be so tired, these days of getting along, she sometimes thinks of him in the Dajing County Lord's Mansion, although he was busy at that time, but not so tired. Was it because he was in the Great Zhou that he was so powerful in the first place, or was it because of her arrival that it increased his burden?
A happy life needs to be maintained by both parties, maybe she should rethink her future approach, and some things should not be too persistent. Use some means when appropriate.
The Li family's relatives may be able to think about it again, after all, in-laws are also a help in the court, since the Li family is a famous family, after getting married, it will also have some help to the Dingwang Mansion, she should ask clearly before making a decision, instead of refusing to shirk responsibility without knowing anything.
"Princess, the sobering soup is ready." The soft voice of the green vine interrupted Su Yiqing's thoughts.
"Oh, I'll come, help the prince up." Su Yiqing took the bone china soup bowl in Lu Teng's hand. With the help of green vines, he helped Lian Yufeng up, and fed Lian Yufeng with a small soup spoon and a small spoonful.
Even Yufeng was half asleep and half awake, and he obediently drank all the decanting soup. After drinking, he fell asleep groggily.
Su Yiqing breathed a sigh of relief, for fear that he would wake up in the middle of the night and ask for tea and water. I didn't dare to sleep all night, so I lay next to him in my clothes.
Since even Yufeng was going to go to court the next day, the big housekeeper asked people to remind him during the fifth watch.
The early dynasty couldn't be mistaken, Su Yiqing hurriedly woke up Lian Yufeng, dressed him for some clothes, and sent him to the early dynasty later.
After getting drunk, although he slept all night and even Yufeng's brain was already sober, he was still a little uncomfortable, he had no appetite, and his spirit was sluggish, Su Yiqing prepared a sobering soup for him, wiped his face with an ice towel to keep him awake, and prepared refreshments in the stove in the sedan chair, so that he could eat some on the way.
"I'm sorry to worry you." Even Yufeng watched Su Yiqing busy coming and going, and when he couldn't hide the tiredness in his eyes, he held her hand a little distressed.
"We're husband and wife, and that's what I'm supposed to do." Su Yiqing smiled softly, "Later, after you go to the court, I can rest, but you, the prince, come back early if you have nothing to do after the next court, I will wait for you." ”
"Okay." Lian Yufeng shook Su Yiqing's hand, and then got into the sedan chair.
Su Yiqing watched the sedan chair go away, and then returned to the house.
"Princess, you can rest again" Mama Qing saw that Su Yiqing seemed to be a little sleepy, and hurriedly said intimately.
"No need, I'm fine, Green Vine will make me a cup of green tea." Su Yiqing lightly instructed the green vine.
After drinking a few sips of strong tea and feeling better, Su Yiqing looked at Mama Qing and said, "Mama will take a trip to the Meng family for me to see my mother...... I told my mother that there were some things that happened suddenly yesterday, and I didn't think clearly about some things for a while, so let me think about it for a few more days. ”
This was said a little unclear, but Mama Qing understood in her heart, Mrs. Meng came to visit yesterday, she must have said something, and the princess was inconvenient to say it clearly, and now she has changed her mind again, although she doesn't know what is going on, but Mrs. Meng must know that she just needs to pass on the words.
After Mama Qing left.
Su Yiqing also instructed Lu Teng to show her the account books of the palace, the accounts must be clear, otherwise the loss of some silver is a small matter, once the people in the mansion eat the marrow and know the taste, they will become more and more greedy, and it is easy to make mistakes, and they must be reminded when they make small mistakes, so as not to turn small mistakes into big mistakes.
After a while, Green Vine came to report, "Princess, Yuemian has sent a fruit brew made by herself, and she wants to come in and kowtow to you to say goodbye." ”
"Accept the things, kowtow and ask for peace, so you don't have to let her do a good job." Su Yiqing replied lightly without raising her head.
"Yes." Green Vine took the order and left.
Outside, Yuemian was a little disappointed that she didn't see the princess, but the princess was able to accept her things, she was already content, so she kowtowed outside, and then said to the green vine who sent her out: "Sister, how is the princess doing?" I've been doing well lately, and I miss the princess's kindness and hope to do something for the princess. ”
Lu Teng said calmly: "Yuemian, you are a smart person, you know how to seize the opportunity, what you can do for the princess at present is to live your own small life well, so that the people in the palace can see how kind the princess is to her subordinates, not just mess with the mandarin duck score, the princess and the prince are both kind people, and they will definitely not treat you badly." ”
"Thank you sister for reminding me." Yuemian looked grateful, took out a small bottle of flower dew from her sleeve, and gave it to the green vine, "Sister, this is my own making, it's worthless, I smell the fragrance of jasmine on my sister's body, presumably my sister likes jasmine, this is the flower dew refined from jasmine, my sister uses it to see, like it or not, if you like it, I will make more in the future, this is easy to do." ”
"Thanks, I do like jasmine." Green vine didn't shirk at all, and took the flower dew.
Yuemian was even happier, after returning to the house, she carefully thought about every word that the green vine said, her intuition was rewarding, she thought about it again, and came to the courtyard with a bunch of home-made dried fruit preserves, recently she became the most popular person in the courtyard, especially those children, she was very excited when she saw her coming, and after distributing the candied fruits to the children and a few sisters-in-law who lived in the courtyard, she carried a large basket with only a small bag of fried green beans and a small bag of candied fruit into the school hall to find her father-in-law.
The two daughters-in-law who were peeling beans at the door greeted her, "Yuemian, come to see Mr. Liu again?" ”
One is Sister Liu, the other is Sister-in-law Wang, the men in their family are all on errands in the other courtyard, and they also help to wash and do some rough work in the other courtyard.
Yuemian said a little shyly: "This, I just made something for the children...... Just take a look at Xianggong by the way, say a few words and leave, two sisters, this is for you, I made it myself, taste it. ”
Facing the candied fruit handed over by Yuemian, Sister Liu hurriedly excused herself: "Eh, how can this be embarrassing? Yuemian, it's not my sister-in-law who said you, come on, you bring so many things every time, what a waste of money! How can you stand it in the long run, young people should know to save, save if they have money, and live at home without being a big spender. ”
"No, it's not, the two sisters-in-law misunderstood, these are all leftovers from the kitchen, and they don't cost money." Yuemian hurriedly explained, "The palace is so big, there are many things in the kitchen, some sour apricots, lotus roots, and some green oranges or something, it's not good to put it for a long time, and I can't eat it for a while, and I think it's a pity to clean it up, make it into candied fruits and the like and put it for a long time, give it to everyone or bring it to the children to taste, the sisters-in-law in the kitchen are also good people, I heard that I made it for the children in the other courtyard, and I rushed to help when I had nothing to do, and I was not tired." ”
"Oh!" Sister Liu and Sister-in-law Wang were relieved and praised, "Yuemian, you are really capable and kind, Mr. Liu is really blessed to marry you." ”
"Nope." Yuemian lowered her head shyly, "Two sisters-in-law, you are busy, I'll go in first, let's talk back." ”
"Okay, Yuemian, see you later." Sister Liu and sister-in-law Wang saw that their new daughter-in-law was thin-skinned, and they didn't want to be too funny, so that they wouldn't dare to come next time. (To be continued)
