Chapter 26 Lin Xi is not able to get married
Yongning Hou Mansion has people coming to pay New Year's greetings one after another, if it is her own relatives, the old lady will send someone to let Lin Xi meet her, and the rest of the time Lin Xi stays in Lanyue Xuan to see calligraphy and paintings, so Lin Xi also got a lot of New Year's gifts.
At night, all those who can stay are their own families, there are many relatives in the Yongning Hou Mansion, men and women have opened several tables, and famous concubines can also come out to show their faces, and men and women are separated by screens.
Everyone gathered together, before the banquet, Yongning Hou said a few words, and Xiao Yuheng, the head of the younger generation of the Xiao family, got up and said congratulations before officially opening the banquet.
On this day, underage men were allowed to drink, and even the ladies used a little fruit wine, Lin Xi was in filial piety, and he could just touch his lips.
Looking at the lively scene, his mood is also happy, the more people there are in the New Year, the more festive the year. Seeing that he had a light smile on his face, there was no sorrow between his eyebrows, and he was quiet and peaceful, she couldn't help but rejoice in her heart, and raised her eyes to look at her mother.
Mother Qi leaned into Mrs. Tai's ear, then nodded, turned around and went out.
Liu saw that his mother had whispered a few times when he arrived at Yongning Hou, but he just picked up a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth, silently, and Shan still talked and laughed loudly.
After the banquet was dispersed, Liu served Mrs. Tai and returned to Chongjin Hall, then took the hand of his nurse Lu and left, and glanced at Aunt Mei opposite before leaving, with a rare smile on her face.
Back in the main courtyard, Mother Lu, who served Liu's changing clothes, couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't Madame stay and listen to what the old lady and Master Hou had to say?"
Liu's mother unveiled the edict dress and changed into bedclothes, and couldn't help laughing: "What's so good to hear, it's nothing more than my nephew's marriage, it's sixteen." ”
Mother Lu led Liu to the dressing mirror, removed the pearl hairpin from Liu's head, and wondered: "Young Master Cousin still has more than two years of filial piety, is it too early now?" ”
Liu stretched out his hand to remove the bracelet on his hand, "It's not early, which young master didn't see each other early, that is, my brother Heng also watched it for two years before it was decided, and after it was decided, it took another year to get married, and now the nephew is sixteen, and after filial piety, it will be eighteen, and it will be nineteen when he gets married." ”
Hearing this, Mother Lu said disapprerovantly: "How can the young master be compared with the eldest young master." ”
Liu said with a smile: "Heng'er is the eldest son of the Yongning Hou Mansion, it is different, I and the Hou Ye met again and again, and then I fell in love with the eldest daughter of the Bai family." ”
"Mrs. is discerning, the Bai family is noble, there are many elders, the family is prominent, the young grandmother is qualified to be the princess, this is unreasonable and filial, she is pregnant in less than half a year, and she can give birth to a big fat boy in the spring. Lu's mother complimented.
Liu remembered that his daughter-in-law had a satisfied look on her face, so she didn't have any opinion on the old lady worrying about Lin Xi's marriage, Hengzhi had little to do with her, and Lin Xi saved her grandson again, she naturally really loved this nephew, but Lin Xi's marriage was really difficult to consider.
"The old lady has always felt sorry for my sister-in-law, and she is even more concerned about her nephew's marriage. It's just that Lin Xi's parents died, he has no fame, and his body is weak, so he doesn't know if he can support the portal in the future, I'm afraid that some lords won't look down on him. ”
Lu's mother said: "With the Yongning Hou Mansion, there will always be people who are willing." ”
Liu shook his head, "Looking at the posture of the old lady, she is unwilling to marry her nephew at a low level, but Lin Xi's condition is generally unwilling as long as she feels sorry for her daughter, even if she agrees, she is just a concubine who does not hurt or itch, and she can't ask for it if she sends it in a hurry, so it's best to find it on her mother's relatives and know the roots." ”
Mother Lu suddenly realized, "No wonder the old lady is so polite to a few ladies and ladies today, and she is also very patient with a few school-age ladies." ”
Liu sneered, "No, our old lady was not high up once, and now it is different for her nephew." Look at it, the old lady has a high vision, and several ladies and wives are willing to marry their daughters-in-law, of course, the best thing is to stay in the Hou Mansion, relying on the uncle to take care of the old lady's hundred-year-old nephew in the future. ”
Mother Lu covered her mouth and widened her eyes after hearing this, stretched out her finger and pointed to the back, and then opened her mouth and said the word "Mei" silently, and Liu nodded.
Chongjin Hall
Mother Qi lifted the curtain and invited Yongning Hou in.
"Mother, what are your instructions for calling your son over?" Yongning Hou still wondered when he heard Qi's mother's words.
Mrs. Tai said to Qi Mother, "Give Master Hou a bowl of decanting soup." ”
Qi's mother answered and went out.
Mrs. Tai nodded to Yongninghou: "Sit down." ”
Seeing Yongning Hou sitting down, he said, "The old woman doesn't go around the corner, and discusses Xi'er's marriage with Hou Ye." ”
Yongning Hou frowned when he heard this, as if he was puzzled, but after thinking about it, he understood, so he said: "But it's up to my mother to decide." ”
Mrs. Tai glanced at Yongning Hou, "Don't promise too quickly, listen to me first." ”
"Yes. ”
"Xi'er is an orphan of the Fei girl, the old woman always has to take care of a few points, he is weak, and he is not very relieved to go out, I want to stay in the Hou Mansion, and I can rest assured that your brother will take care of it. ”
Yongninghou was puzzled, "Mother, Xi'er is her son's nephew, and he has a son to take care of." ”
Mrs. Tai touched the rosary on her wrist, sighed, looked at Yongning Hou and said, "The old woman thinks about it, and thinks it's better to kiss and kiss, what does Hou Ye think?"
Yongning Hou was stunned when he heard this, and then he was surprised, "Mother is talking about Xin, no, Lan'er?"
Mrs. Tai nodded, "Mrs. Xin'er didn't think about it, it's a pity that she is worthy of Xi'er, before Ping'er died, I also told Hou Ye that Ping'er wants Xin'er to be the successor of the prince to take care of the prince, and she has two years to do it, and she is not in a hurry. And Lan'er, presumably Master Hou won't be reluctant, right?"
Yongning Hou frowned when he heard this, holding his beard and being silent, even if Xiao Jinlan was a concubine, but with Lin Xi he still married low, if someone else asked to marry, Yongning Hou would definitely leave with his sleeves up. It's just that Mrs. Tai opened her mouth, and it was her nephew again, so he couldn't help but hesitate.
"Xi'er's character is also known these days, the most honest but, although the body is weaker, there is no obstacle to good conditioning, and when you have filial piety, or get fame, or donate to officials, the future will not be bad. ”
When Mrs. Tai saw that Yongning Hou was shaken, she stepped up, "At the beginning, you said that you would take Xi'er as your own son, but you said it to the old woman?"
As soon as these words came out, Yongninghou immediately softened, "Where is the mother, the son will naturally do what he says, but Xi'er is not still young......
"Xi'er is not big, but Miss Lan is about to be in time. Mrs. Tai glanced at him sideways and interrupted her son lightly.
Yongning Hou saw that although Mrs. Tai's eyes were not sharp, he didn't dare to say anything, and finally sighed: "Son Rong has to let her know when he talks to Mei's." ”
Mrs. Tai's face showed ridicule, "You treat her as a baby, whose children's marriage is not decided by the housewife, you don't ask your wife, but you want to ask a concubine ......"
Yongninghou blushed when Mrs. Tai said this, and said, "She is Lan'er's mother, so she must be informed." "And ask Liu, do you still need to ask this?
Mrs. Tai was actually satisfied when she said this, so she said unhurriedly: "Not necessarily, it doesn't hurt for the Hou Ye to take a look at it these days." ”
What else can Yongning Hou do, he can only respond.
As soon as Mother Qi's sobering soup was delivered, Yongning Hou had already left, and when she saw Mrs. Tai's face, she knew that she had succeeded for most of it, so she said, "Aunt Mei is afraid that there will be a trouble." ”
Mrs. Tai closed her eyes and was served by Mother Qi, and sneered when she heard this, "When the old woman doesn't know what her idea is, can she think about it from the prince? ”
Today is different from the past, even if Zhao Jingyi dies and has a sister-in-law, and there are still two filial pieties on his body, but he, Prince Rui, is stable and deserved, and he is a prince with real power.
Although there is a six-year filial piety period, the emperor and the queen mother will not be a widower for six years, otherwise who will preside over the middle feed of a huge palace, and who will take care of the prince, and many things will not be calculated according to common sense when they reach the royal family.
When Mrs. Tai thought of Aunt Mei, her heart felt a little uncomfortable, and Mother Qi sighed: "It would be nice if my uncle was still here." ”
The two masters of the Yongning Marquis Mansion couldn't sleep because of Lin Xi's marriage, but Lin Xi didn't know anything, if he knew, he would be depressed and insomnia, how old is this, the previous life was only the age of junior high school, and Xiao Jinlan was one year younger than him.
Marrying a wife, he didn't even think about it at this time.
Therefore the ignorant are carefree.
The second day of junior high school is the day when my aunt and grandmother return to the door, according to previous years, Mrs. Tai must have no interest, she has been sad for her little daughter for a long time, and she is even more lukewarm when she sees a few concubines.
But today, he was unusually kind, and sometimes asked a few more words kindly, which made a few aunts and grandmothers confused, but when Mrs. Tai called Lin Xi over to greet her, her mind moved quickly and immediately figured out the key, so she quietly looked at Lin Xi a few more times, with a little picky in her eyes.
Lin Xi was made mindless, so he could only bow his head shyly again.
In terms of family lineage, there is really nothing to say, he is still a white body, and it is rumored that his body is not very good, if it weren't for two strong uncles, he would simply eat swan meat. But after all, being able to be close to the illustrious mother's family is also a lot of benefits for themselves and their children, and several aunts and grandmothers are in a hurry, and their marriages are not high, and their daughters are reluctant, thinking about whether there are suitable nieces and nieces on the mother-in-law's side.
Looking at the Liu family and the Shan family again, they have already understood the meaning of the mother-in-law, which is boasting about their nephew, so that Lin Xi doesn't know which god he is talking about.
Liu said: "My nephew looks very much like my sister-in-law, and his personality is also generous, and filial piety. ”
Lin Xi's face stiffened, except after being reprimanded by the old lady after the first day, he hadn't gotten up early.
Here Shan praised: "Those who read and practice calligraphy all day long don't have that kind of frivolous appearance, unlike ordinary people who go out to walk their dogs, and they are steady." ”
Lin Xi twitched the corners of his mouth, people in filial piety are afraid that they will kneel in the ancestral hall if they do these things.
Liu said again: "No, I heard Hou Ye say that when the nephew is filial, he will walk around and get a serious errand." ”
Lin Xi was even more speechless, he didn't even have a talent on him.
Shan immediately picked up, "The fourth master also said so, I, the more I look at it, the more I like it, if it weren't for Yi'er being young, I would like to stay with me as half a son." ”
Lin Xi recalled that Xiao Jinyi was just three years old this year, but in fact, she was only a little more than a year old, and the nurse still held her all day long.
So after Liu's balabala, Shan's continued to barabala, and the two of them abandoned their long-term grievances and joined forces to put a high hat on Lin Xi's head, and Lin Xi's head was getting lower and lower, and he was about to get into the crack in the ground and leave.
Finally, Mrs. Tai couldn't listen to it, so she smiled and said, "Don't say it, how can there be a compliment like yours, which makes people listen to the joke." ”
Shan didn't follow, "What did the old lady say, I just like my nephew, and I don't want to boast about my concubine." There is a little bit of concubine body not to say, the nephew's medical skills are also the best, and it will offend people to say it, Prince Rui's son is even helpless, and our nephew rescued him as soon as he made a move, right, sister-in-law?"
Saying that, they all looked at the Liu family, this rumor has been heard, Prince Rui personally found it and brought it back to the palace, and the prince will be fine the next day. However, the Tai Hospital prides itself on its first-class medical skills, and it will not be spread to the outside world, and no one in the Rui Wangfu has much to say.
Although the Liu family was dissatisfied with Shan's involvement in Zhao Yuanrong, after all, it was related to Xiao Jinping and the previous lawsuit, but since he had said everything, there was no reason to avoid it, so he smiled and said: "Originally, the Rui Wangfu didn't give orders, and the Hou Mansion didn't say much, but since everyone knows, I'll just let it go, my nephew, I'm distressed to the bones, as long as the Yongning Houfu has a day, he will protect my nephew for a day, which is no different from my own life." ”
As soon as he said this, all the aunts and grandmothers moved slightly in their hearts, so they all flattered and said good things.
Lin Xi couldn't stand still, no matter how dull he was, he knew what he was doing today, he was embarrassed in his heart, and he couldn't help but be a little annoyed.
Just when he decided to find a reason to leave, thinking about the feasibility of fainting, finally Ren's mother hurriedly walked into the house and said, "Old lady, madam, someone from Rui Wang's Mansion has come." ”
Lin Xi silently folded his hands in his heart, although he didn't want to hear the three words Rui Wangfu, but compared to being looked at by this group of women, it was better to face Zhao Jingyi's paralyzed face.
It's just that I don't know what kind of demon moth the other party is going to come out of this time.
