Chapter 359: Separate Plans
A big stone in Li's heart was put down, and he looked extremely relaxed.
"But seeing is believing some things, let's inquire slowly, don't be too anxious to book, after all, it is related to the happiness of your children for a lifetime, and if there is really something, it will harm your daughter for a lifetime." Old Concubine Xue habitually told slowly.
"Yes, my niece and daughter-in-law will inquire about it." The Li family also thinks so, after all, the children of the two families are still young, and the marriage of the noble family is not a year and a half that cannot be said, even if the two families are satisfied, they have to release the news first to see if there will be any abnormal situation.
For example, there was a situation many years ago, a newly rising nobleman, relying on the son of the head of the family, is good, and at the same time talking about family affairs with the two families, the two are compared to determine one of them, this is actually nothing, many families are like this, but the problem is that the family is more excessive, and the private comparison is not counted, and let the son look at the two girls at the same time under the arrangement of the elders, which girl who lost the election has a stronger self-esteem or there is something unknown in the middle, In short, I heard the news that the person in my heart was married to another girl, and he hanged himself on the same day, so that the newly rising nobles could be so compared, naturally they were not general, and they sued the emperor, although the head of the family has been shouting grievances, and the things are pushed to the head of the woman in the back house, but the reputation is stink, and the saint also feels that if the minister knows, there is a problem with his character, and if he doesn't know, he is confused, in short, he can't use it, so he quickly cut through the mess, and find another way to drive the minister out of Yancheng. immediately quit the family, the reasons are ready-made, the family cheated on marriage. This newly rising nobleman was immediately beaten back to his original form, the official position that the man had climbed to for decades was gone, but no one sympathized with the whole Yancheng, the same wealthy noble, you are nothing to be corrupt and even oppress the good outside, but it is not good to deceive the head of the same wealthy noble.
Therefore, Yancheng said goodbye to each other. Unless unforeseen. For example, when the children are old, they really can't be delayed, or they are like a king. It's all married three times, it doesn't matter, otherwise it is not so fast from kissing to marrying, and others will think that there is something hidden if they are too rushed.
"I'm tired. You go get busy first. Old Concubine Xue said everything she should have said, and waved her hand tiredly.
The Li family didn't dare to pester Old Concubine Xue. Bent his knees and retreated.
After the Li family left, Old Concubine Xue slowly shook her head.
Her confidant and mother, You, who has been with her all her life, stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Concubine, this family affair is really so good?" ”
Old Concubine Xue smiled. Called: "You'er, you have been with me for so long, and you know me well. My views on some things also win my heart, you see? ”
A sound of You'er made You's mother's eyes moist a little. She has been with Mrs. Xue since she was a child, and followed Mrs. Xue to marry to the Guojun Palace, and then her mother's family came to her, saying that she wanted to redeem her, although she was reluctant to let Mrs. Xue out, but she was more yearning for a free life outside, in addition to a bunch of pet concubines around the old prince at that time, Mrs. Xue was not very good, she was a little selfish, so she asked for grace and wanted to be reunited.
Old Concubine Xue was a kind person when she was young, and she was not embarrassed by her, she was exempted from her deed and sent a thick dowry, so that she could go out to marry, which was a good fulfillment of the love of master and servant, but she left too coldly like this, speaking of which may be her retribution, she was sold into the Xue family at a few years, and was picked by the old lady who was still Miss Xue's family, and lived a life stronger than the average lady, and she was not bullied, but she left her in the most difficult life of the old lady Xue, and not long after she got married, her husband died of illness. The husband's family scolded her for being a mourning star and kicked her out.
When she returned to her mother's house, her father and mother also died of illness one after another, and her mother's brother and sister-in-law disliked her life for a bad time. In a fit of anger, she moved out of her mother's house and rented a room outside, but where is it so easy for a woman to live outside, seeing that the money in her hand is about to run out, the scoundrels in the market see her alone, and come to the door from time to time to make trouble, and she is about to be unable to live, or the old lady Xue is still thinking about her, and she inquired about her recent situation, and found her back to continue to work as an errand.
Since then, she has been dead set on Old Concubine Xue, determined that if she dies earlier than Old Concubine Xue, if Old Concubine Xue goes one step ahead of her, she will definitely keep up, and continue to honor Old Concubine Xue on the Huangquan Road to repay Old Concubine Xue for her maintenance and care.
At this time, seeing that the Li family was obviously slacking off Old Concubine Xue in order to please Guojun Wang and his wife, he couldn't help but feel upset for Old Concubine Xue, this Li, if it wasn't for Old Concubine Xue who had been taking care of her, how could she be so comfortable with her kind of clumsy person, and now seeing that the old lady is getting old, she has to hug the thighs of Guojun Wang and his wife, which is too undeserved.
Compared with Mother You's indignation, Old Concubine Xue didn't think so, and said: "This family business really can't find anything, if it really can be done, whether it is for the Li family and his wife, the Li family is also a grateful person, will you leave me, the old woman, aside?" Why bother minding about that little thing, besides, there is no one thing in these eight characters, can it be said in two, and I sulked in vain. ”
"That's what the old lady said." Mother You has been by the side of Old Concubine Xue all these years, not to mention that she has the essence of Old Concubine Xue's way of doing things, but it is not much worse, and she secretly thought about it, indeed, with the shrewdness of the two kings, will they take a fancy to the daughter of the side branch of the Guojun Wangfu who is not beneficial to them? That Meng Ye couple is now only the daughter and son-in-law, and the Dingwang couple does not nod, and it is useless for them to agree.
Who can't expect the little calculation of Guojun Wang and his wife to see? Doesn't he just want to take advantage of the current momentum of the king to let his own daughter get through this hurdle safely? Why should people help them? If the royal family really decided to ask Miss Lewen to make peace with him, it would not be easy for the boss to change his mind.
"It's just that Mrs. Li ......" Mother You is still a little unhappy, but it is inconvenient to talk about the master, compared to Guojunwang and his wife, she feels that it is not good for Li to skip Old Concubine Xue to hug Guojunwang and his wife.
Old Concubine Xue smiled, "Her situation is also difficult, I have taken care of her more for so many years, and I also hope that she can be good in the end, as long as the two of them live well, everything else is a trivial matter, the important thing to get along with each other is mutual tolerance, if you can't even tolerate this little thing, how can you get along?" ”
"Yes." Mother You really admired Old Concubine Xue's belly, and thought about it, it was also Old Concubine Xue who saw it, how could she survive in the Guojun Mansion for many years and laugh to the end, if she was really a scheming person, she would have died of depression a long time ago.
After finishing speaking, Old Concubine Xue went down to the small Buddha hall next to her mother to recite the scriptures.
A few days later, the enthusiasm of Guojun Wang and his wife was hit a lot.
Obviously, when he mentioned it to Meng Ye at the beginning, he was still very excited, and he looked very honored, but when he talked about the details in detail, his attitude was a little perfunctory, he didn't refuse, but he didn't explicitly agree, he only said that his son was still in the barracks and didn't come back.
Meng Ye's excuse is a bit far-fetched, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is dragging, but although this reason is far-fetched, it can also be used, they can't say the words of their parents' orders, and they don't have to ask their children.
In addition, the same is true of the Li family, saying that the Meng family is the home of the military generals, the child has been put in the military camp by Meng, and there is not much interaction with the children of Yancheng, few people know what kind of character it is, it is best to take a look and then decide, the Meng family does not take the initiative, their woman's family is too good, and the girl will be looked down upon after passing the door.
The problem is that those two can wait, but the Guojun Wangfu can't wait.
According to the news heard by the princess of Guojun, the queen mother has asked about Lewen's situation twice in the palace, although it was said that she mentioned it with some school-age nobles when she was gossiping with the wives, but this sign was very bad, which made their husband and wife tremble.
Princess Guojun and her family discussed it behind closed doors, and unanimously agreed that the reason why the Meng family hesitated was the relationship between Princess Ding, it is said that now Mrs. Meng has to look at Princess Ding's face and act, and the relatives of her children have to ask Princess Ding's meaning, maybe Princess Ding doesn't look down on the family background of the second room.
After discussing and discussing, Princess Guojun thought of asking Mrs. Xue to come forward, but as soon as the thought arose, she heard the little maid report that it was cold, and Mrs. Xue was a little sick, so she asked the house to ask the doctor to come to diagnose and treat it.
After all, it was her own mother-in-law, and Princess Guojun didn't dare to slack off, so she took the post to ask the imperial doctor, and at the same time took the maid and the mother-in-law to serve the sick.
After the doctor came, he only said that he was cold for half a day, and there was nothing wrong with a little cough, but the old man was weak and cold recently, so he should pay more attention to keeping warm, and he must not go out to blow the wind, even if he looked at the sunny weather, otherwise it would be troublesome once the condition worsened.
When Princess Guojun heard this, her face immediately turned ugly, which means that Old Concubine Xue can't go out this winter? It's hard to do, who can you ask to help you say goodbye?
Princess Guojun waited in the old concubine Xue's house for a long time, and then returned to the room with a tired face, although the old concubine Xue said that a bunch of maids and mothers-in-law were by her side, and she didn't need her daughter-in-law to serve, but she still stood in the house for a long time, so as not to be talked about by someone with a heart.
King Guojun was waiting in the room, and when he saw her come in, he motioned for the maids and women to retreat, and then asked, "Is the old lady okay?" What did the Imperial Doctor say? ”
Princess Guojun shook her head, sat down and took a sip of hot tea, let out a long breath, and then said: "It's okay, the imperial doctor said, it's just a cold occasionally, and it's okay to rest more." (To be continued)
