Chapter 385: Dissatisfaction
Regarding the news that Mama Qing had worked so hard to inquire about, Su Yiqing did not answer, nor did she comment, showing a lack of interest.
Mama Qing was very disappointed, she risked being scolded and even punished by Madame Meng to inquire about the news, but the princess was not interested, how could she not be discouraged?
After Mama Qing left, Su Yiqing called the green vine and whispered a few words.
Hehe, she's been a lot more hypocritical lately, if she doesn't say anything directly, she has to turn around and convey it, and she doesn't know what she means, and the credit is naturally her own.
Green vine heart comprehended God and left.
I took a plate of snacks and fruits and went to find Mama Qing.
Others may not know very well, but Mama Qing knows, this green vine is the eldest maid next to the princess, and she is also the prince's henchman, and what she says may be more useful than what the princess says.
Seeing that Green Vine came to talk to her, she didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly took out a new chair cushion, and put it on the chair before inviting Green Vine to sit down.
Green Vine put down the plate in his hand and said with a smile: "Just now the princess rewarded some snacks, and I felt bored eating alone, so I came to talk to Mama, don't disturb Mama, right?"

"Don't bother, don't bother, I'm an old woman, I'm afraid that you little girls will think I'm boring. Qing Mama smiled on her face, although this smile was flattering, but it was sincere, she knew that she was not comparable to Green Vine, and a big girl like Green Vine could be said to be the first in the palace.
On weekdays, the two of them have been immersed in work, and rarely communicate with other maids. The people in the palace only felt that these two maids were arrogant because they were reused by the princess, and they didn't care, there were many big stewards in the palace, as well as big stewards, in comparison, the big maids who were going to marry sooner or later were really nothing.
But Mama Qing, who knows the inside story, thinks that these two maids may still be on the orders of the prince to monitor some things, but I am afraid that the words of these two maids will be more effective in front of the prince than the chief steward of the palace, and she will not dare to offend them no matter what.
Tasted the fruit. A few small talks about digression. When the atmosphere was hot, Lu Teng smiled and said softly to Mama Qing: "I am young, and I have no experience in many things. I have to learn more from my grandmother. ”
"Don't dare. Can't. What kind of identity is the girl, I am a mother-in-law who has never seen the world, how can I compare with the girl. Qing Mama was humble.
Green Vine didn't answer. Diverting from the topic, he said: "Right now, there is one thing I don't understand, can you ask Mama for some advice?"
The girl just said. Qing Mama knew that this matter must be not trivial, and immediately cheered up.
"Then I'll say it, if it's wrong, Mama shouldn't have heard of it, and you must not tell others. Green Vine's voice was a little lower, very cautious.
"I dare to pledge my life, and if necessary, these words will rot in my stomach. "Mama Qing even made a poisonous oath, very sincere, although the Meng family is not as big as the palace, but the infighting is also very fierce, she can be safe until now, she naturally knows what to say and what not to say, and she can keep secrets.
Green Vine didn't hide it anymore, and said in a low voice: "Mama, we are all people in front of the princess, so naturally we should solve problems for the princess, of course, the princess is a noble person, and it is not our turn to be slaves and maids to protect desperately, but in some small things, we have to share more, don't you say?"
Mama Qing nodded repeatedly.
Green vine said: "Today's matter is also for the sake of the princess, but the princess is soft-hearted, even if she is unhappy, she will not say some things, always put it in her heart, so as not to embarrass others, rather than be wronged, what Mama said to the princess, your old man may not have paid attention, after you left, the princess's face immediately looked difficult, and she seemed to be a little sad." ”
The princess was soft-hearted, and Mama Qing didn't think much of it, but she wouldn't say it if she was unhappy, but she faintly agreed, and hurriedly said: "Please also remind the girl, what did I say today make the princess unhappy? ”
"Wrong, it's not wrong, it's just that Mama, you just turn things around to the princess, and then do nothing, let the princess hurt herself, it's not good...... If you let the prince know, maybe you will be blamed for telling the truth in front of the princess. Green vine's eyes flashed a few times, and he looked very worried.
Qing Mama was suddenly frightened, and no matter how the topic went from asking her about the green vine to the situation where she wanted to ask the green vine, she said hurriedly: "I didn't displease the princess, I just thought that this was a trivial matter, and the princess should know, after all, the Meng family is the princess's maiden family...... also asked the girl to explain a thing or two for the old woman in front of the prince. ”
"Mama is confused again, how can the prince have my little maid to talk to?"
"Yes, I was wrong. Qing Mama was so anxious that she wanted to slap herself, she didn't know that the palace was sinister, when she was lucky, she was the grandmother of the palace, and the wives of the six or seven petty officials were not as decent as her outside, and her bad luck annoyed the master, so she was dragged out and sold, which was not worth much more than those country wives outside.
Seeing that the scare was enough, Lu Teng said bluntly: "The prince's mind is too complicated, and we can't guess and dare not guess, but it is not wrong to take care of the princess at present, right? ”
Qing Mama was suddenly startled and came to her senses, yes, wasn't the princess's situation at the beginning similar to that of the eldest prince now? Even worse than the eldest prince, she was alone outside, and now she told the princess how the Meng family treated the eldest prince's family coldly, how could the princess not think of herself?
But this was what the princess asked her to inquire about at the beginning, and she couldn't help but reply? Since she inquired about the beginning, she naturally had to inquire more about the follow-up development, lest the princess ask that day and not know anything.
She is a subordinate, all she can do is this, what else can she do?
At this time, Lu Teng said in a timely manner: "I'm just a maid, I have an idea, Mama listen to it." Isn't that the reason?"
"Girl, please speak. Qing Mama was so anxious that she almost scratched her ears and cheeks, and she didn't have the steadiness of the former housekeeper.
Green vine said: "The princess is also a daughter, and the family affairs were so twists and turns...... Now that the old thing is repeating itself, this powerful family wants to marry a daughter of the Meng family to pull the relationship and get benefits, not to mention the princess, even if I am a little maid, I feel pitiful for the little lady of the Meng family, it is really too deceitful, don't you say?"
"Yes, yes. Then persuade the in-laws and wives. Rejected that family business??Pick a good one for the little lady, and find another kind person?" Qing Mama asked tentatively.
"It's going to be a while, and people don't know about Miss Xiao, where can I find a kind person? After all, the Quan family is the princess plus. A family of relatives. It's not good to be completely offended, do you think that's good?" Green Vine paused, stepped forward and said a few words to Mama Qing in a low voice.
Mama Qing nodded repeatedly. Echoed, "It's still the girl who is smart, this method is really good, we can't let our princess and lady be in a dilemma, but they have nothing to do." ”
After getting the idea, Mama Qing thought carefully all night, thought of a proper persuasion, and went back to Meng's house the next day.
When Mrs. Meng saw Mama Qing coming back, she naturally wanted to ask, but Mama Qing only said that she was ordered by the princess to send some fresh fruits to Miss Madame to taste, and nothing else.
Usually Mama Qing comes and goes, and many things are indeed to send something, and Mrs. Meng has been a little upset recently, and she doesn't care much about it.
It's just that after Mama Qing left, Mama Ping came, avoided the others, and whispered to Mrs. Meng: "Madam, Mama Qing just came to talk to the slave maid, and there seemed to be a hint in the words, the slave and the maid thought about it for a while, or to go back and forth to Mrs. ”
Mrs. Meng immediately asked, "What did she say?"
Ping's mother said: "A bunch of brainless words, the east and the west are short, and I said one thing specifically, saying that there is a merchant in the back street of the palace who wants to tie up a family to become an official, so he wants to use a concubine to marry the concubine born to the official, but he was scolded back, saying that he is a businessman's concubine, and he also wants to marry a lady from the official family? This is whether he wants to marry or slap his face, and the businessman does not have no concubine? Why not let the concubine ask to marry? The official family is annoyed. Qing Mama said it as a joke, but the slave felt that for no reason, she would not say this. ”
Where are there any businessmen near the palace, Mrs. Meng's heart is moved, the concubine asks to marry the concubine, and the businessman wants to get a relationship, how similar is the current situation of the Meng family? Is Mama Qing taking the opportunity to remind something, about the family affairs of the Quan family? She hurriedly asked again: "What happened later? How did the family who became an official get annoyed?"
Ping's mother shook her head: "When Mama Qing said this, she said that it was not early, and she left in a hurry." ”
Mrs. Meng pondered for a long time, thinking that the Dingwang Mansion might have noticed this matter, and they didn't deliberately hide it, so people with a heart could naturally know lightly that this was a blow from Mama Qing.
Is it a hint that this family business should not be accepted?
By the way, there is one thing, how did she forget it, the third old lady of Quan came to marry Xiaofu for his disabled grandson, and she agreed, but this matter has never been spread out, she luckily thinks that Xiaofu may not know, but she can still know if she has the heart to inquire about this matter, and she can't care whether Xiaofu or King Ding is very impatient with the third old lady of Quan.
She has always been a little puzzled, why King Ding is so disgusted with the family of the third old lady of Quan, and thinks it is Xiaofu's reason, but the matter of the beauty of the Quan family does not look like Xiaofu's usual style, and it has little to do with herself, she didn't think about it, and today seems to be enlightened.
This is what the prince himself meant, he hated the third old lady who wanted to marry Xiaofu when he threw out a disabled grandson, if it wasn't for the king's clever means, he took the first step, and he was slower, and the consequences were unimaginable.
But his wife was almost allowed a disability, and King Ding must still have a mustard in his heart, and it is not good to attack openly, so he can only secretly rectify people.
After thinking of this, Madame Meng couldn't help pinching a cold sweat for herself, and her heart was filled with coldness, could the prince also be angry with her? What about settling accounts after the autumn? No, this matter must be handled properly, and the prince must not be angry.
Mrs. Meng immediately ordered Ping's mother to prepare, make some pastries tomorrow and send them to Dingwangfu, and then explore the tone of Qing's mother, Xiaofu didn't know about this matter, so he couldn't mention it clearly, so he could only knock on the side, inquire about the intentions of the palace, and then make a decision, and never act rashly, so as not to anger the two of them.
And Mrs. Quan San was anxious, so she asked Mrs. Quan Si to probe in the afternoon.
When Mrs. Meng didn't have any definite news, she didn't reveal anything at all, so she just talked perfunctorily about Mrs. Quan, but inquired carefully about the recent situation in the third room.
Mrs. Quan Si also knows everything, anyway, she is an errand runner, whether she succeeds or not, it really has little to do with her, if it weren't for the third old lady Quan repeatedly pleased, saying that she was just inquiring, no matter what the outcome of the matter, she was grateful to her, and she would never be angry, she thought that the convenience with others was to make it convenient for herself, and Mrs. Meng did not refuse thoroughly, that is, there was room for negotiation, so she came, otherwise she would not have traveled to this troubled water.
During the questioning process, Mrs. Kwon Si inadvertently revealed a piece of information that made Mrs. Meng pay attention.
The three rooms of Yaozhong but a show talent, and a concubine, talent is indeed not very good, now the three rooms are the most favored is a child named Yaobei, is the youngest son born to the second son of the third old lady, out of the child, this year is only thirteen years old, this child looks that the lips are red and teeth white, although the age can be seen to grow up must be outstanding, rare is the gentle temperament, good reading, the most by the three rooms of the attention.
If it's not a little smaller, I'm afraid that some time ago in the third room, I was afraid that I could take advantage of the opportunity of the noble girl's fear of getting married, and marry to a good family, Rao is so, and everyone who has seen it is praised, although the man does not pay attention to appearance, but the mother does not want her own daughter to marry a young man?
So there are a lot of people who inquire about this Yaobei, if it weren't for the fact that Sanfang offended King Ding, he was afraid of being implicated, but he was afraid that the people who proposed marriage would have broken the threshold.
The speaker had no intention, but the listener had a heart, and Mrs. Meng thought of what Ping's mother said, why didn't she let her sister-in-law ask for marriage?
In the evening, the steward was ordered to bring all of Mengshen's daughters from the Zhuangzi to Mrs. Meng.
Because I can't tell what it is, it's not good to bring only one girl, so I simply brought all four older girls.
At first, Mrs. Meng thought that these four were Mengshen's daughters, but after careful questioning, she found out that only three were Mengshen's daughters, and the other was Mengshen's granddaughter, and among the three Mengshen daughters, only the eldest was the daughter of Mengshen's wife Mi, and the other two were the daughters of Tongfang, and the Tongfang had long been missing.
Hearing this, Mrs. Meng felt a burst of disdain in her heart, the men of the Meng family are all the same, just give birth or not. (To be continued......)
