Lin Xi didn't stay that night, and Mr. Bai went to Baifu after the queen mother returned to the palace as soon as he was summoned. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although Zhao Jingyi regretted it, she didn't stop it, to be honest, seeing the Queen Mother so sad, Zhao Jingyi felt guilty, and she just reflected at night.
It's just that the two grandfathers and grandchildren who were locked up in the room hid their hearts in their hearts and never spoke to anyone.
However, the queen mother does not go out of the palace all year round, and this trip to Rui Wangfu with the lord of Jing'an County will not take a day, and it will be rumored that the princess of Rui Wangfu will finally be decided
Yongning Hou Mansion, Fangfei Pavilion
"Ma'am."
The little maid guarding the door owes herself.
"Where's Miss, do you have a lunch break?"
"Not yet." The little maid pushed open the door, "Madame, please come in." ”
At this time, Xiao Jinxin pinched a Luo Hai and was stunned against the bronze mirror, and when she heard the sound behind her, her eyes moved slightly, and she was about to get up, when her shoulder was pressed down by Mrs. Yongning Hou.
"I didn't see you use much for lunch, so I asked the kitchen to prepare a bowl of lotus seed soup, let's use it a little."
Liu put the bowl aside, and saw that Xiao Jinxin didn't move, so he had to sigh.
"I remember that this hairpin was a birthday gift from Prince Rui back then, and it has been some years."
Xiao Jinxin's plain white hand touched Dongzhu at the tail of the hairpin, nodded, and said softly: "It's because I am ignorant, I saw that my sister was wearing a good look on her head, and I asked my brother-in-law for it, but I was only ten years old at the time, and my hair was still thin, and I couldn't wear this hairpin." ”
This thing has been kept for six years, and now it is a thing or a person, "I haven't seen you wear it a few times." ”
Liu's heart ached faintly when he saw things and thought about people, the eldest daughter was a scar that would never heal, and the younger daughter's marriage was so bumpy, it broke her heart.
Sixteen, not to mention that people will really become old girls.
Yesterday, when I heard the news of this chaotic flight all over the capital, Liu was disappointed and relaxed at the same time, "This time there is a chance that the dust will settle. Nine is decided, my son has nothing to do with the prince, so let it go. ”
Xiao Jinxin faintly saw her mother behind her pressing the corner of her eyes through the bronze mirror, and lowered her eyes expressionlessly, "Although the county lord of Jing'an is the county lord, she has nothing but this title, how can she be worthy of her brother-in-law?" Rong'er is still young, my mother thinks about what to do if she is mistreated, no matter how long her hand is, she can't reach into the palace, what face will we have to meet my sister in the future? ”
Xiao Jinxin said calmly, but as a mother, how can she not hear the meaning, this girl put her mind on Lord Rui, thought about it, and pushed one good family after another, and now she is unwilling to end up like this.
But what if you are unwilling?
Liu persuaded: "Xin'er, there are some things that you can't help yourself, so you can only accept your fate, and you must not go into a dead end." ”
Hearing this, Xiao Jinxin couldn't hold back her red eyes anymore, and choked up: "My sister obviously said that I would take care of Rong'er for her, why didn't my grandmother say it to the prince?" ”
Listening to the blame in her daughter's words, Liu could only shake her head with a wry smile, not to mention Mrs. Tai, even she also understood in the temptation of the past few years that Zhao Jingyi never thought of marrying Xiao Jinxin at all, I am afraid that she would have resentment after that incident, if it weren't for Zhao Yuanrong's body inseparable from Lin Xi, otherwise it would be possible to stop contacting. It's just that Zhao Jingyi hasn't said it, and they all have hope.
Mrs. Tai persuaded her granddaughter a few times, and also openly and secretly said that Yongning Hou and his wife had a few times, but as Zhao Jingyi's military achievements continued to rise, such a son-in-law was too tempting, and they had been waiting.
Now that I've just woken up from my dreams, it's time to give up.
"After all, the prince's marriage is not your sister's decision, there are the queen mother and the emperor in the palace, the prince is hot, the princess is picking and picking, even your grandmother can't speak
。 ”
Xiao Jinxin bit her lip tightly so that she didn't let the cry come out, but the tears were fierce, and Liu hurriedly took the handkerchief to carefully wipe her tears.
"Mother, Xiao Jinlan is married to King Liang, although she is a side concubine, but you look at the way she looks every time she comes back, which time is not like a concubine. Although Aunt Mei was sent to the village, Xiao Jinlan pouted with her father a few times, and her father had already begun to soften, if it wasn't for her grandmother not letting go, I am afraid she would have come back a long time ago. You have been angry with Aunt Mei for so many years, do you still want to see her arrogant in the future? If I marry low and am crushed by her, won't my mother be inferior to Aunt Mei in the future? ”
Liu and Aunt Mei have been fighting for most of their lives, and each of them has children, Xiao Yuheng is stronger than Xiao Yuqi, but now that Xiao Jinlan is favored by King Liang, and King Liang is a hot person on the throne, it is really impossible to say how it will be in the future.
The capital is only comparable to the King of Shu and the King of Rui, but the princess of the King of Shu is here, how can she wronged Xiao Jinxin?
Everyone understands the truth, but the royal affairs are not decided by the Hou Mansion, and no matter how beautiful you think, it is in vain.
"Drink the soup and rest for a good night's sleep."
Xiao Jinxin wanted to say more, so she saw Liu's eyes straight, and said lightly: "If King Liang really has a future, even if you marry into the Rui Wangfu, it will be useless, but my Hou Mansion has a clean and upright family, even the emperor can't control this, so you don't have to think about it anymore." ”
Liu finally persuaded his daughter to go down and instructed the maid to serve carefully, and only then did he leave the Fangfei Pavilion and saw Mother Qi beside Mrs. Tai.
"Madam, old lady, please come over."
Liu Shi pressed it with a sad heart, and said in surprise: "At this time? Hasn't the old lady had a lunch break yet? ”
Mother Qi replied with a smile, "The second lady of the Bai family has already returned to Beijing." ”
The second master of the Bai family returned to Beijing first, and his majesty took the post mentioned before Chunmu, Zhao Jingyi knew about this, but he did not move, and sent people to pay attention to the whereabouts of the Bai family's daughters at all times.
The second lady of the Bai family's carriage and horse had just stepped into the gate of the capital, and Zhao Jingyi already knew about it.
"What's going on in the Yongning Marquis Mansion?"
With Zhao Jingyi's temperament, if he hadn't been holding Lin Xi for a layer, he would have made a strong move a long time ago, and entered the palace to ask the Queen Mother to choose another marriage for Miss Bai. However, Lin Xi wanted to solve it by himself, and he agreed, it was really not good to do it secretly.
can only be calm on the outside and anxious on the inside, every time he sees Zhao Yuanrong's toothache, he can't leave his father as soon as he turns around.
Someone came to report: "Lord Wang, the young grandmother of the Hou Mansion sent someone to send a message to the White Mansion, and I will go back tomorrow afternoon." ”
Gonggong Cao saw that Zhao Jingyi's face was dark, so he waved it and let people go out, and said to Zhao Jingyi: "Lord, even if the Baifu is intentional, it will not be so rushed, the second lady has never seen Lin Gongzi, that is, after seeing each other, it will have to be the New Year." ”
Do you still need to see each other? When he saw Lin Xi's appearance, he immediately decided.
Zhao Jingyi didn't speak, but his expression was like this.
Father-in-law Cao suddenly cried and laughed. Although Lin Gongzi is good, the lintel of Baifu is not low, and it is still Lin Xi who climbs high. If Second Mrs. Bai is picky and exquisite, she should be completely right.
Not everyone thinks that Lin Xi is hot like his prince, and he will be snatched away at any time.
"Wang Ye, you don't have to say that in previous years, this year is the first time to celebrate the New Year in Beijing, I don't know how to spend this Chinese New Year's Eve?"
Zhao Jingyi was puzzled, "This king and Rong'er will definitely enter the palace, and they can live in this mansion as they should, according to the rules."
。 ”
Gonggong Cao bowed his head.
Zhao Jingyi frowned and glanced at him, suddenly his expression moved, and asked, "What's going on in the Lin Mansion?" ”
Gonggong Cao then sighed twice, took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Zhao Jingyi.
Looking at the handwriting on it, Zhao Jingyi took it without hesitation, opened it and took a look, and suddenly drank a bowl of hot ginger soup on a cold day, and his whole body was refreshed, and he forced the corners of his mouth and ordered: "Just say that I know, and I will not miss the appointment." ”
On Chinese New Year's Eve, Lin Xi went to the White Mansion early to ask the old gentleman for peace.
Mr. Bai had just gotten up, and after playing a set of body boxing, he was surprised when he saw the little apprentice coming, "You don't always like to be lazy, and you have to wait for the sun to open your eyes in winter, and you have nothing to do today, why did you come so early?" ”
Lin Xi smiled and bowed, "Look at what the teacher said, you have to be told to say hello when you get up early, students are really not good." ”
Mr. Bai didn't look at him, turned around and entered the house, and when he finished washing, Lin Xi was already sitting at the dining table waiting for him, and took the white porridge in the maid's hand and put it in front of him.
"If you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, you must have a ghost in your heart if you are so diligent, let's say, what is there to embarrass as a teacher."
Hearing this, Lin Xi was dissatisfied: "How can a student serve you as you should, how can it be called courteous, and your heart is open, what the hell is there, besides, the student is so obedient and obedient, how can you ever feel sorry for the teacher?" ”
Mr. Bai still had a mouthful of white porridge in his mouth, and he didn't spit it out, so he could only swallow it in order not to be rude, waved his hand and said, "Don't talk, eat first." ”
Lin Xi obediently served a bowl of porridge, and wondered how to speak.
Yesterday, someone from the Yongning Hou Mansion came and informed the second lady of the Bai family that she was back. Mrs. Aether's concern for his marriage must have been eager to confirm the matter immediately, but she wished for it.
However, since Lin Xi had no intention of marrying the daughter of the Bai family, he should immediately dispel the idea of the two families.
Mr. Bai looked at Lin Xi at the same time in the breakfast area, and saw that this kid was a little distracted, and couldn't help but wonder. Thinking back to what had happened recently, a flash of inspiration suddenly dawned, and then he sneered to himself and shook his head.
Young man, no matter how calm and calm he is on weekdays, he is not scratching his ears and cheeks and becoming a monkey when he comes to the end.
Putting down the bowl, because of Lin Xi's broken body, Mr. Bai took him to the warm room to sit down, and said jokingly: "Today, the teacher promised to go to Dongcheng Baifu to keep the New Year together, if you have anything to say, say it as soon as possible, if you want to know, ask as soon as possible, it won't be long before someone will come over there." ”
The old gentleman was a young man, and he was a stunned young boy at the beginning, so he knew it in his heart.
Lin Xi was stunned for a moment, but in a blink of an eye, he understood the meaning, and suddenly couldn't cry or laugh. But seeing the teacher like this, he also thought it was good, so he didn't know what to say for a while.
After thinking about it for a long time, when the old gentleman was about to run out of patience, he asked, "The teacher also thinks this family business is good?" ”
"Naturally, it's just cheaper for you kid."
So Lin Xi asked: "Even if you know that our master and apprentice are on the boat of Lord Rui?" ”
After finishing speaking, Mr. Bai relaxed his face and looked at him quietly
Lin Xi looked back firmly, "Teacher, you hesitated again and again and didn't agree to the prince, weren't you afraid of involving the Bai family?" A century-old reputation can be destroyed overnight, and this burden is too heavy. If the prince succeeds, it will be fine, if it fails, you and I don't have to say, our master and apprentice companions on the Huangquan Road. And the Bai family ...... Always unaware, relatives and friends are everywhere, and it is unknown to save one's life and make a comeback in the future. But if the student marries the daughter of the Bai family, who would believe that the Bai family is kept in the dark? ”
The teacup that Mr. Bai put on his mouth suddenly shook, and the tea spilled out, Lin Xi quickly took it and put it aside, pulled the handkerchief to wipe the tea stains, and said apologetically: "The student is rude." ”
Mr. Bai waved his hand, "You don't have to get it, just wait and change your body." ”
When Lin Xi sat back in place, he heard Mr. Bai sigh and said, "This matter has never been considered by the teacher, Xi'er is very pleased to be able to think like this, but for the identity of the teacher, the Bai family can no longer stay out of the matter, and there is not much difference between marrying and not marrying." ”
He looked at Lin Xi lovingly and said with relief: "You don't have to worry, if you can't be sure of being a teacher, you won't agree to Zhao Jingyi." Bai family girl, you just treat her well in the future. ”
As he was talking, he heard a report from the next person at the door, "Master, people from the Bai family in the east of the city have come to invite the master to come over." ”
"Okay." Mr. Bai replied and asked Lin Xi again, "What else do you have to say?" ”
Lin Xi got up, bowed solemnly and said, "If Miss Bai Jia marries someone else, she won't be able to marry a married girl in the future, Lin Xi really can't bear it." ”
Old Mr. Bai was silent, then looked at Lin Xi, and nodded, "I understand, you don't want to marry anyone at all." ”
Lin Xi's heart jumped, looked up at him, and then said categorically: "Yes, the student doesn't want to implicate any innocent woman. ”
Such a resolute appearance surprised Mr. Bai.
It's just that Mr. Bai is open-minded by nature, and seeing Lin Xi's appearance, he can't compromise, and he is very repulsed by the idea of marrying, and his heart suddenly softened.
couldn't help but bow his head and think, and then said: "This matter is not the master of the teacher, the two families have already ventilated, and they have broken the contract rashly, it is not good if there is a gap." ”
Lin Xi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, smiled, stepped forward to hold the teacher's hand, and slowly walked out: "Since the student said so, he has naturally thought about it, and he will not let the Bai family complain, but when you go today, don't say more." ”
It seems that he has already made a decision, Mr. Bai patted the little apprentice's hand, "I understand for the teacher, but there are always regrets that the matchmaker can't drink." ”
That being said, I have doubts in my heart after all, but it is inconvenient to ask more at this time, so I will not mention it for the time being.
After Mr. Bai changed his clothes, he was about to go out, and the people from Baifu in the east of the city looked at Lin Xi who was standing on the side, and said, "Old man, the old man said that if Lin Gongzi is free, he might as well send you over." ”
Old Mr. Bai glanced back at Lin Xi and shook his head, "No need, he still has important things to do, let's say hello to your master another day." ”
Seeing the carriage clatter away, Lin Xi breathed a sigh of relief, without his teacher as a matchmaker, things can always slow down a little.
It's just that Mr. Bai is easy to talk to, but his grandmother is not so easy to deal with, thinking about Zhao Jingyi's imperial grandmother who chased all the way to the palace, Mrs. Tai also has to think about it.
