Chapter 424: Fishing Nets
King Guojun really couldn't imagine that he could easily avoid the bloody purge in the battle for succession, but he was implicated by his son and planted in a small river corruption case.
Princess Guojun was even more angry, her son's future was so affected by a woman, she lost her errand and emptied most of the family property of Guojun Wangfu in a daze, what else did such a daughter-in-law do? Anyway, her mother's family has been defeated, it is better to take a break, and it will be a hundred, so as not to linger in front of her.
discussed with King Guojun that this Zeng family had committed seven rules, and it was time to take a break.
King Guojun doesn't want such a daughter-in-law, but he is a big man, so it's not good to meddle too much in the affairs of the back house, besides, if the in-laws are defeated, they divorce their daughter-in-law, and it will be disgraceful to spread it.
But he was really worried in his heart, so he asked Princess Guojun to discuss with Old Concubine Xue, Zeng's must be punished, and how to punish it depends on what Old Concubine Xue means.
After these things, the king of Guojun felt that it was still the old lady Xue who had the right vision, and the old lady Xue did not approve of the prince marrying the daughter of the Zeng family, saying that the family of the Guojun royal mansion was high enough, and there was no need to marry too prominent in-laws, and the family that was too prominent was too complicated, and the girl from this kind of family had more thoughts.
At that time, Mrs. Xue also mentioned a few families, all of them were ordinary people, and after getting married, they didn't help the Guojun Mansion at all, and they may still need the help of the Guojun Mansion from time to time.
Princess Guojun naturally refused, although she didn't dare to disobey her mother-in-law too much, so she passed by vaguely and picked the Zeng family, saying that the Zeng family was very pure and good, which was in line with what the old lady Xue said. The Zeng family is also much lower than the Guojun Wangfu, which is also considered a low door.
Old Concubine Xue said at the time that she was old and her energy was poor, if her daughter-in-law really saw it, she was really a pure girl, and she would set it for the prince according to the princess of the county.
There are some open and secret battles between the old concubine Xue and the princess of Guojun, and the king of Guojun is not unaware at all, in general. It's Princess Guojun who is not filial enough. But Old Concubine Xue is not his biological mother after all, and he also respects Old Concubine Xue, but this respect is somewhat reserved.
Anyway, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are a little discordant, and that mansion doesn't have it. Relative to other people's homes. The Guojun Wangfu is considered good. At least on the surface, the couple had a lot of respect for Old Lady Xue.
Now that I think about it, it is still the old lady Xue who has a vision. If he hadn't married the Zeng family and married a girl from a mediocre family, it wouldn't be like this now, a low-level family would have had a limited amount of trouble, and their whole family would have been convicted, and his Guojun Mansion would have been laughed at a few times, so that he would not be involved in a big case that everyone avoided like now.
The more King Guojun thought about it, the more he felt that this was all caused by Princess Guojun's misconception of the Zeng family at the beginning, and thought that the few families that Old Concubine Xue casually mentioned seemed to be in decline, but they were always mediocre, and they didn't get up suddenly, but they didn't continue to decline to the point where they let Guojun Wangfu help them all day long.
The husband and wife were dissatisfied with the Zeng family, but slowly, the two of them turned a little bit of a change of mind, the king of Guojun turned to secretly complain that the princess of Guojun did not listen to the words of the old lady Xue and married such a disaster for the prince, while the princess of Guojun complained that the Zeng family was cunning, obviously a fox but pretended to be like a sheep, blinded everyone, and also made her take it lightly, causing such a big disaster to the Guojun Palace.
"Lord Wang, instead of letting the Zeng family recuperate in the mansion, it is better to let her go back to her hometown to recuperate, where to be quieter. The more Princess Guojun thought about it, the more angry she became, and finally brought it up with King Guojun, this matter was mentioned as early as when the Zeng family was not convicted, at that time she said that in order to clear up the relationship, or divorce the Zeng family, she broke off with the Zeng family, but was opposed by King Guojun and Old Concubine Xue in unison.
Old Concubine Xue's reason was very simple, the court's judgment and punishment would not harm the married girl, how could they be one step faster than the court? This does not show that the Guojun Royal Mansion is involved in this matter. It is equivalent to not admitting yourself.
Princess Guojun has nothing to say, but now that the matter has been decided, it seems a little cool to take a break immediately, but it is really troublesome to keep it.
"Wouldn't it be better to take a break directly?" King Guojun sneered, "What do you want such a daughter-in-law to keep, take a hundred years of leave, and then marry a dignified and virtuous lady to the prince." ”
Princess Guojun didn't hear the unkindness of King Guojun's tone for a while, only heard King Guojun say that it was time to retire Zeng's family, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she was about to say something agreeable, but when she looked up, she saw King Guojun's face darkened, and she suddenly felt that it was not good, so she quickly turned her head: "Lord, this princess is the wife of the prince Ming Media is marrying, and I am afraid that it will not be good to take a break at this time, so I should say it slowly, so as not to make irresponsible remarks from outsiders." ”
"You will also take into account people's words?" King Guojun had a dark face, "What is the current situation of our county prince's mansion, you should also know, you should be more restrained in doing things, the prince is young and ignorant, he should teach carefully, instead of going on a business trip, he thinks about retiring the princess all day long, and then marrying a good one for the prince, your virtuous and virtuous good girls are all over the street, you can choose at will? Don't look at what the Guojun palace looks like now? You are Zhang Luo is a good concubine for the prince, and you are sending a beautiful maid to the prince, whose good girl is willing to marry in?"
As soon as King Guojun was sarcastic, Princess Guojun's face turned white, and she still defended: "Accepting a concubine was what I thought before, after all, the princess married in for so long, and she couldn't conceive...... As for Yan'er, Cui'er, she is purely taking care of the diet and daily life of the prince, and has no other meaning. ”
"If you mean anything else, you know it in your own heart. King Guojun sneered again, "If you want to say that you will take care of people, won't the older grandmothers be more able to take care of you?" You just want to send beautiful maids, you say you don't mean anything else? Who believes it? If you say that I will also find two beautiful maids to serve me, and say that there is no other meaning, do you believe it?"
Princess Guojun's eyes suddenly turned red, and she choked up: "Lord, what do you say? What did I do wrong?"
Seeing his wife so aggrieved, King Guojun was upset for a while, and his tone was even worse, "You still don't know what you have done wrong?" I sue you, you have done too many wrong things, from the very beginning, you should not make your own opinions, and marrying a cunning daughter-in-law like the Zeng family for the prince has brought the entire county prince's mansion, don't say that you look away, the old concubine said at the beginning, let the prince marry a girl with a low family, you don't listen, or marry the Zeng family." What did you say at the beginning? Zeng's family is upright, Zeng's family is gentle and pure, you see it really, but what is the result? Now everyone sees it really, this is an impure character, if you don't have that vision, you shouldn't make your own opinions. ”
Princess Guojun was even more aggrieved, and the Zeng family was not the only one who married into the door? Although it is inconvenient for men to marry a daughter-in-law, the king of Guojun also said that the Zeng family is a good family. Even Old Concubine Xue did not object. If something happens, it's all to blame her, she really feels wronged.
When King Guojun was angry, she didn't dare to speak back. only said: "Old Concubine Xue also let the third son of Zeng get engaged to the girl of the Meng family." said that in this way, the Meng family would be able to help the son. Results ......"
"Are you still quibbling?" King Guojun slammed the table, "What's wrong with the old lady's idea?" It's naturally good that the Meng family can help, but they can't help." The one who married the village aunt of the Meng family is not your son, what do you have to lose? Talking about this, I really don't know what is wrong at all, and look at the Meng family again, the Zeng family has committed such a big thing, and the Meng family has not said that they want to divorce from the Zeng family, so you can't learn from others?"
That's because it wasn't Mrs. Meng's daughter who married the son of the criminal official, Princess Guojun only muttered in her heart, but she didn't dare to say it, when King Guojun was angry, talking back would only make King Guojun even more angry, and in the end it was she who suffered, so she could only bow her head and say: "Lord, I know it's wrong." ”
"What's the use of knowing that it's wrong?" King Guojun was still very angry, and directly ordered, "In the future, you can make up your mind about the small things in the house, and you have to ask the old lady about the big things, if the old lady does not approve, don't make an opinion, otherwise something happens, this king will definitely not be able to spare you, for the sake of the face of the prince, he will not divorce you, but it is still okay for you to go back to your hometown with the princess to recuperate." ”
Princess Guojun was suddenly frightened, she knew that King Guojun was a person, if she wasn't angry, she would definitely do what she said when she was angry, and she couldn't be taken as her momentary angry words.
Seeing that Princess Guojun's status in the mansion had plummeted, there was someone who was so active that he hurried to flatter Old Concubine Xue, hoping to take the opportunity to come out, the quarrel between King Guojun and his wife could not be concealed at all, and King Guojun did not step out of the door, and this matter had already spread to Old Concubine Xue's courtyard.
Mother You relayed the matter to the old lady Xue, and said with a relieved face: "The princess of the county is very faceless this time, see if she dares to be disrespectful to the old lady in the future." ”
Old Concubine Xue twisted the Buddha beads in her hand, and said lightly: "The princess of the county didn't treat me with respect, she has done a good enough, and people are not dogs, so it is impossible to wagging her tail and begging for mercy when she sees someone." ”
"But the princess of the county did those things behind her back before, and she also instigated the Li family to marry the Meng family...... "Mother You's voice became quieter, she remembered that when the old lady Xue thought about being magnanimous, she naturally wouldn't be as knowledgeable as the princess of Guojun, so she didn't dare to say any more.
"That's also because the Li family has the heart of climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix, and the princess of the county wants to take the opportunity to push it, if she doesn't have that mind, who can force her?"
Mother You once again admired Old Concubine Xue's mind, and this is how to repay grievances with virtue.
Unexpectedly, the old lady Xue said: "What does the princess of the county have to do with me? Why do you want to respect me? Do you obey me in everything? Most of the mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law in the world are opposites, and how many of them sincerely respect their mother-in-law and regard their mother-in-law as their own mother-in-law? These very few did not let me stand on the table, because I did not accumulate enough blessings in my previous life, and I can't complain about others." ”
"Yes. Mother You didn't dare to say too much, but she couldn't help it, and said: "According to the mother-in-law who guarded the door, she heard the county prince's mansion say something about marrying the aunt of the Mengjia village, and seemed to be complaining about the old lady...... Slaves...... The slave maid felt that it was not worth it for the old lady. ”
"It doesn't matter, the mouth grows on someone else, what can you do if you say a few words. Old Concubine Xue didn't care at all.
Mother You really didn't dare to speak this time.
Old Concubine Xue looked at her for a long time, and suddenly smiled: "Do you really think that I am a bodhisattva and don't care about anything?"
"Old lady, you are known for your magnanimity, and it is their blessing that you don't care about the juniors. Mother You said sincerely.
Old Concubine Xue shook her head and asked, "You kept saying that the princess of the county was okay in your words, why didn't you mention the princess of the county?"
"Hasn't the prince of the county been speaking for you, the old lady?" Mother You thought back to Fang Cai's narration, and there seemed to be no mistakes or omissions, and her eyes showed a look of incomprehension.
Old Concubine Xue sighed: "The county king spoke for me, but at this time, you don't want to think about it, I don't agree with the Zeng family when I got married, although there was no fierce opposition, but the county king definitely knew it, and then the county princess was all kinds of instigating the Li family to marry the Meng family or something, it was impossible for the county king not to know, he didn't speak at the time, and now if something happens, he blames the county princess, what do you think of this behavior?"
Mother You thought about it carefully, and suddenly it became a little clear, compared to the princess of the county, this behavior of the king of Guojun seems to be more despicable, he does not show up for everything, and he will naturally fish for the benefits, and if something happens, he will push the woman out, it is really more worthy of anger, but it is ...... There were some things she didn't dare to say anymore.
Old Concubine Xue said it for her, "The persimmon picked up the soft pinch and fell out with the king of Guojun, which is not good for me, but the princess of the county is different, suppressing the arrogance of the princess of the county, and I naturally have the final say in the house, so you subconsciously put the responsibility on the princess of the county, ignoring the princess of the county." ”
"The slave knows it's wrong. Mother You sincerely admitted her mistake.
Old Concubine Xue said: "You don't want to think about it, if you really want to be dissatisfied with the princess of the county, and make trouble, it may be that I have the upper hand for a while, but after all, the princess of the county is the biological mother of the prince, and it is impossible to really divorce her, tear her face, and if it goes on for a long time, what good will it do to me? It will only make the entire county princess even more miserable, and everyone is not doing well, after all, the princess of the county is just a little self-assertive, and there is nothing disrespectful to me, at least not on the surface." ”
"Yes, the old lady is right, but the slave maid still has something to say. Mother You glanced at Old Concubine Xue's face, gritted her teeth and said, "Since you don't care about these things, why are you so worried these days? ”
"It's nothing, when people are old, their feelings are a little inexplicable, and besides, there are so many things going on in the county king's mansion, can I still be happy?" said Old Concubine Xue lightly.
There are some things that even a close subordinate can't say.
She can't tell her mother, many things that have happened in Yancheng recently, one by one, seem to be accidental, but they make her feel a hint of conspiracy, it seems that a net is slowly being put away, and she doesn't know what the net wants to catch in the end, I hope it is not a big fish and a small fish in one net.
The Guojun Wangfu can be said to be powerless now, and I hope that no one cares about small fish and shrimp like them. (To be continued......)
