398. Chapter 398: Grandmother's Trust
"Jinyu, you go and help your grandmother change the spoon, grandmother wants the batch of porcelain that was shipped from Jingdezhen yesterday. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info "The old lady instructed Yuan Jinyu.
It's good to leave this kind of trivial matter to the next person, but since the old lady personally ordered it, Yuan Jinyu will not refuse.
It's just that the pottery is stored in a large warehouse in the house, and it takes a lot of time to come and go. When she was leaving, she glanced at Mu Ze with some reluctance, but was glared at by the old lady, and she didn't dare to look at it, so she picked up her skirt and ran away.
After she left, the old lady used the original spoon to scoop a round and eat it, and sure enough, it was fragrant.
She motioned for Mu Ze to sit down, and then said to Mu Ze: "This is the second time we have officially met." ”
Mu Zetong said respectfully with the old lady: "That's true. It was the king's fault that he didn't come to visit the old lady. ”
The old lady shook her head: "My body is already half buried in the soil, and I don't care about that." I'm not getting worse every day...... "It has been getting worse since that rainy night, and now it's almost out of reach.
Mu Ze comforted her: "There are many imperial doctors in the palace, and the old lady will recuperate more, and her body will definitely recover." ”
The old lady waved her hand, and if she looked carefully, she could find that her face was a little sallow: "I have lived for so many years, it is enough, I am old, and I am old." Besides, after waiting for me alone underground for so long, it's time to go see him. The only thing I'm worried about is Jinyu. Now that you are married to Jinyu, can you tell me what you think, and how you and Jinyu should go in the future?"
The old lady sighed: "Jinyu is a good child, I can be with her in the last period of my life, it is already a great luck, I don't want anything." But if you dare to bully Jinyu, even if I become a ghost, I will come to you. ”
After listening to what the old lady said, Mu Ze stood up and bowed to the old lady: "This king will not be wronged by Jinyu and only be a side concubine, please believe in this king." ”
"That's fine. "The old lady doesn't have Yuan Jinyu's idea of wanting to monopolize Mu Ze, anyway, there are more royal rules, concubines should never want to climb on the head of their wives, Jinyu she has the power, those concubines who are not long-eyed, she can deal with them as she wants.
What the old lady is most afraid of is that she will be a concubine for others.
"I have repaired the book to the Tang Mansion in Shandong, Jinyu is the person who recorded in the genealogy of the Tang Mansion after all, if you don't keep your promise, they will take the letter to pick up people, His Royal Highness King Ning, although Jinyu is a concubine, but she is the precious granddaughter of this monarch, if you follow you and suffer grievances, then this monarch will regret that she did not marry her to His Royal Highness King Rui in the morning. ”
Mu Ze raised his head, his eyes were firm and stubborn: "Please rest assured, old lady." ”
When Yuan Jinyu came back, he saw that the atmosphere in the room was not quite right, and he was still a little puzzled. But the old lady took the porcelain, and discussed with her about the wine-brewed balls, Yuan Jinyu sat beside Mu Ze, talked to the old lady obediently, and forgot about the previous question.
When Mu Ze looked at the old man, he exchanged a look that only they could understand, and Mu Ze also noticed that the old man's eyes really seemed to have no light, and there was no business. The heart he originally wanted to meddle in gradually let go.
The little girl was telling the old lady what other new dishes she had recently thought of, and was going to make them for her to taste one by one.
Her eyes were dark and warm, full of hope.
Mu Ze sighed in his heart, it's okay, if Yuan Jinyu really came to beg him because of the old lady's matter, then let's talk about it.
Mu Ze stayed here for nearly an hour before he left because the affairs of the military camp could not be delayed any longer.
Yuan Cuiyu and Li Yutong seemed to talk alone for a long time, and only left in the evening. In the evening, the second aunt really left with the package happily, according to the porter, the second aunt left in the carriage sent by the Li Mansion.
The days passed slowly for a few days, and the house was calm for a few days. Yuan Hefeng's official position was also approved, and he could only be said to be half lucky.
The emperor's intention was to hope that he would spend this year in Beijing and go to the Eastern Regions to take up his post after the year. The Eastern Regions are not as barren as the Northlands, and because they are close to the sea, they have gradually prospered over the years. But I heard that piracy was rampant there, and the people were also fierce, and basically the officials who went there were forced back before they stayed for three years.
And Yuan Hefeng's term of office is exactly three years. When Aunt Jiang heard the news, her mouth was foaming in a hurry.
Yuan Hefeng didn't think this was a bad thing, if he really could make some achievements and return to the capital, the emperor would definitely reuse him.
Before he got famous, he was most worried about Aunt Jiang's safety, and now that she has been picked up, he can go with peace of mind.
But Aunt Jiang obviously didn't think so. She heard that Wei Chuqiu stayed in the capital, and felt that if Yuan Hefeng could marry Wei Chuxiu, maybe Zhongyuan would feel sorry for his daughter, so he would not let Yuan Hefeng leave.
But how can we match these two children? Aunt Jiang pondered for a long time, and finally decided to invite Wei Chuqiu and Wei Chuxiu to the mansion for a while, but on the surface, she only let Yuan Hefeng say that it was an exchange of feelings between colleagues.
For Wei Chuxiu, she is a newcomer, and she doesn't have any friends, but there are two young ladies of the right age in the Xiangfu, so they can get along and see.
Zhongyuan Hou inherited the prestige of his ancestors, held real power, and was definitely the marquis of the Wei Zhen side. However, they can be powerful in their own fiefdoms, and when they come to the feet of the Son of Heaven in the capital, there are not a few chaebol families with higher status than them.
So along the way, they inquired about the news of the capital until they settled down.
And Zhongyuan Hou found that among the families in the capital, Xiangfu is definitely a pivotal existence. Not only that, but his children are also legendary.
Miss Xiangfu Yan married the king of Chu and became one of the princesses of Chu; one of the two young ladies promised the second son of the side family, and the other was rumored to be stupid, and married the richest family in the capital as a daughter-in-law; three sons, the younger son has nothing to talk about except for the loss of his mother, but after the eldest son won the first prize in high school, he stayed in the capital, and in just a few years, he soared, although the second son was a concubine, but he was very talented, and his eldest son had the same autumn test.
The most commendable is the third lady. It is rumored that Yuan Jinyu is charming in appearance, unparalleled in style, and was named the county lord by the Holy Lady by virtue of his identity as a concubine, and now he has made a marriage with His Royal Highness King Ning.
They obviously know more about the princes in the capital, although they have not met His Royal Highness King Ning and himself, they have also heard that he is cruel by nature and is not close to women. Such a two-person marriage is definitely eye-catching.
Later, his eldest son, Wei Chuqiu, was the top student in high school, and when he heard about the invitation of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he was very happy to let Wei Chuqiu take Wei Chuxiu to the banquet.
No matter how noble Wei Chuxiu's identity is, she is also a young lady, and her world is just the back house of a woman's family, so it doesn't matter when she participates in this banquet. But Wei Chuqiu hoped to make more friends in the capital.
Of course, this friendship is also skillful, if the emperor thinks that he is forming a gang, he will not be far from being demoted from the capital.
Yuan Hefeng participated in the autumn test with himself, and he was the top three among the top three, although he was a concubine, he was also the son of Xiangye, and he made friends with him, even if he had a friendship with classmates, the emperor would not mind anything.
So he was also happy to see this happen, and Wei Chuxiu was very curious about that Yuan Jinyu, so they went to the banquet on time.
The time when the two visited the Prime Minister's Mansion was in the afternoon, when the sun was warm and the wind was not strong. In addition to being a little cold in the morning and evening, the weather in the imperial capital is very refreshing during the day.
Yuan Jinyu also heard a few days ago that Aunt Jiang actually handed a post to Wei Chuqiu in the name of Xiangfu, and I don't know how much pillow wind was blown on Xiangye, so Xiangye agreed to this matter.
No matter how reluctant she is, she is also a junior, dressed and ready to go to the banquet. This Aunt Jiang's mind is too easy to guess, doesn't she just want to match Yuan Hefeng and Wei Chuxiu. She definitely didn't want her presence to get in the way, so she turned around and prepared to come back.
However, as soon as she went out, Xiangye's people handed over the news, saying that she was waiting in the inner room, and there was no need to go out to meet guests, and Miss Wei Chuxiu would be led to the inner room later.
Yuan Jinyu was a little happy in his heart, and he didn't have to deal with Wei Chuqiu.
If she hadn't decided to marry in the past, it would have been fine, but now she has been frank with Mu Ze, and it is reasonable that she should not see a foreign man again.
What Yuan Jinyu didn't know was that the reason why Xiang Ye would do this was because Mu Ze deliberately gave him grace and power after the early dynasty before going to the military camp. No matter how upright Xiang Ye was, he was afraid of losing his life, so he didn't dare to provoke Mu Ze, so he had to agree.
Yuan Jinyu went to the inner room and found that Yuan Yingyu had already arrived. Since the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, he hasn't met Yuan Yingyu much.
Occasionally seen from a distance, Yuan Yingyu would also walk around herself. Now that she has entered the inner room, she naturally doesn't have a good face for herself.
Yuan Jinyu likes her like this, and no matter how she flatters and pretends to be obedient in front of herself like before, she can't stand it anymore.
The two of them already have a grudge, so they can get by in front of Xiangye, and who do they pretend to show in private.
Yuan Yingyu was reluctant to get up to greet Yuan Jinyu, and Yuan Jinyu didn't use her sister's identity to pressure her, but just sat not far from her and asked Ginkgo to change a pot of tea for herself.
Zhongyuanhou's family property is definitely only a lot more than that of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Wei Chuqiu and Wei Chuxiu must have been clothed and fed since they were young, and they also need to be cautious when choosing tea and tea here, and they can't let them look down on the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Yuan Yingyu watched Ginkgo come back with new tea after a short time, almost as soon as she entered the house, she could smell the fresh smell, and she thought it was the best tea.
Yuan Yingyu was even more disdainful in her heart, feeling that the old lady was partial, and rewarded Yuan Jinyu with such good tea.
She didn't know at all that Yuan Jinyu now only takes the least amount of money every month, and never goes to Cui's extra money, and her luxurious and exquisite life is all earned by her shop outside, and it has nothing to do with the Prime Minister's house.
