142. Chapter 142
In the autumn of the same year, Shao Siniang got married, she was a concubine, but her mother-in-law Min was dignified and atmospheric, and Shao Yunhua, the eldest sister, was powerful, so the door to find was not bad at all, but it was an upstart from the scientific examination.
In winter, Shao Erniang came to Xixin'er, pregnant, Shao Wuniang set up a marriage, but unfortunately Mrs. Hou was not very satisfied, but it was the pro given by her father, after all, she didn't say anything, but in private she ordered someone to prepare more dowry for Wu Niang, her mother is the daughter of a criminal minister, and her father is not much promising, and her confidence is insufficient, so it is good to have more dowry, that is, Shao Yunhua, Shao Erniang, Shao Sanniang, and Siniang have all sent a lot of makeup, in addition to making her life worry-free, it is also the meaning of supporting Wu Niang, indicating that they are loyal to the Hou Mansion and sisters are of the same heart, This move envied the elders of many people, look at the feelings of the ladies of the Marquis of Zhongyi? Sure enough, the family style is positive.
In the sixteenth year of Tongle, Shao Wuniang got married, and at the same time, the Mei family came, and it was Mrs. Mei and Shao Yunhua's two cousins, as for why they came, they said that they planned to take the other two granddaughters' scientific expeditions, but in fact, they wanted to figure out that Shao Yunhua climbed into two good family affairs.
Of course, Shao Yunhua didn't know what they really thought at first, so she was quite happy, thinking that it was a good thing for the Mei family to come out, and she even asked the busy Shui Dai and Mei Xin to guide them when they were free. Naturally, the results were not satisfactory.
At first, the two of them were careful to agree, but later found that Shao Yunhua talked to them about some people's livelihood or something from time to time, the two of them were bored, Shao Yunhua was not stupid, so they simply rarely saw them, but Mrs. Mei was anxious again, so she simply saw Shao Yunhua and said directly: "Yunhua, how are your two cousins?" ”
"Gentle and dignified, not bad." That is, yes, it's just not wrong, Shao Yunhua is not polite at all, she doesn't know at this time, one of her cousins always comes to Shi Jinyu's side.
"It's not my grandmother who boasts, they're all good kids." Mrs. Mei didn't hear anything at all.
"Hmm." Shao Yunhua was a little puzzled, how could he talk about this?
"The two of them are sixteen years old and the other is fourteen years old, a good age like flowers, but I have always been worried about the marriage of the two of them, and the vast land is so big, there is no match." When Mrs. Mei said this, she looked at Shao Yunhua with hope in her eyes: "You know a lot of people, and there are many good Erlang in the capital, if you are free, you might as well help your grandmother for reference." ”
Shao Yunhua was stunned, at this time she finally knew why the two cousins entered Beijing, under the guise of scientific research, they were clearly coming to match Gaomen, so she was very unhappy in her heart, but it was a pity that it was the elders who spoke, and she couldn't put on a face, but even so, she only replied stiffly: "I am busy with official business every day, and I am leading soldiers, and I know all the rough men in the military camp, and I am not worthy of my cousin." ”
Mrs. Mei choked, but thinking of Shao Yunhua's usual straightforwardness, she didn't take it to heart, and said directly: "Your aunts have lived in the capital for a long time, and they always know a lot of people. ”
Shao Yunhua was silent.
Seeing that Shao Yunhua was silent, Old Madam Mei was a little anxious, and simply said directly: "Your second aunt is a coquettish guest of the Jiang family and knows a lot of people, not to mention, the eldest princess Depei also descended to the Jiang family." ”
After such a bend, Mrs. Mei couldn't hold back after all, and gave enough hints, and now Shao Yunhua understood, and her heart was even more unhappy.
The eldest princess of Depei was descended to the Jiang family in the nineteenth year of Changtai, and Changtai gave birth to Xiao Langjun in the twentieth year, and now it is the sixteenth year of Tongle, and she is eighteen years old, and she has not yet decided to marry, how many people are thinking about marriage, the empress treats her sisters well, and the heirs of her sisters are all compared to her brothers, so the eldest son of Princess Depei is a proper county king.
Shao Yunhua was very angry, the eldest son of the eldest princess, her grandmother really dared to think about it, it was just, it was ...... Shao Yunhua didn't know what to say.
"Grandmother, this can't be done." Shao Yunhua directly rejected it, and didn't save face at all.
"W-How?" Mrs. Mei was also displeased.
"The two cousins are here for the scientific examination, and it's too early to talk about kissing, so you might as well wait for them to discuss marriage after high school, so that they can pick people." Shao Yunhua endured his anger, but he didn't say it ruthlessly enough.
Old Madam Mei's face looked a little better at this time, and then she said: "Your cousin, the concubine of the Mei family, this identity is enough, and there is no need to add any more icing on the cake." ”
Shao Yunhua choked, can't be angry, can't be angry, can't be angry, important things are repeated three times, but, but, but I still want to flip the table, where does this come from the confidence to match the eldest princess's eldest son?
When Shao Yunhua didn't know how to refuse, the two cousins came in very unhappily, and when they saw Shao Yunhua was also there, the big one didn't say anything, and the small one flattened his mouth, and said, "Cousin, the subordinates are disobedient." "It's also because she is a guest, and she is also a noble girl from everyone's background, so she can't go beyond her bounds, so she didn't have to sue, of course, she didn't want to talk to Shao Yunhua, but it just happened that Shao Yunhua was here.
"Oh?" Shao Yunhua raised his eyebrows: "What's wrong with them?" ”
Mei Ya was very dissatisfied with Shao Yunhua's question, shouldn't she directly reprimand her subordinates? What is the reason for such doubts? It's a pity that her cousin-in-law is such a clear person with her, but in the end, it is her cousin, and the rules and etiquette taught at home are still there, so she can only endure impatience and say: "I just ordered them to cook a few dishes, and it is funny that they said that there are no such rules in the house." When do you have to have rules for how many dishes to eat? ”
Mrs. Mei listened, but also displeased, on the one hand, for her granddaughter's displeasure to cause trouble to her relatives, in the end, she is a little lady in the boudoir, she really shouldn't say such things, on the other hand, she is also dissatisfied with Shao Yunhua's hospitality, in Guangdi, the Mei family is used to being the emperor of the soil, and everything is the best, so that she gets carried away, and Mrs. Mei is very unhappy with Shao Yunhua's simple hospitality. It's a pity that she can't keep quiet, and she doesn't bother to discipline her granddaughter when she says it.
"Do you know how many dishes the Supreme eats a day?" Shao Yunhua asked slowly.
Maya was stunned, how could it be on the head of the Supreme, but with her imagination, she still said: "The Supreme King is the king of the world, rich all over the world, so naturally he can do whatever he wants." ”
"Really?" Shao Yunhua replied without yin or yang: "Xia Wei is really freewheeling." ”
Mei Ya was stunned for a moment, then her face turned red, and she looked at her sister Mei Ying and then at her grandmother, her eyes were red, she still understood what her cousin meant to be so sarcastic.
"Yunhua, how can you talk to your cousin like that?" Mrs. Mei's face sank instantly, no matter how good her granddaughter is, it is also outside, not to mention that the two granddaughters have been under Chenghuan's knees since childhood, and they are definitely not comparable to Shao Yunhua, who has not been meeting for a long time.
"Grandmother, such a statement is already for the sake of relatives, otherwise it would be a disaster for the family to let her slander the emperor?" After Shao Yunhua finished speaking, he said to Mei Ya very strictly: "The supreme is still thrifty, and he has always led by example, eating with the royal husband every day, and each meal is no more than eight dishes, all the princes, the eldest princess is grateful for the virtue of the supreme, and each meal does not exceed six dishes, and I and others naturally do not exceed four dishes per meal, because my grandmother is an elder and a distant guest, so I made an exception and ordered the kitchen to have six dishes per meal, and my cousin wants to add dishes, which is absolutely not good." ”
Mei Ya's face turned red instantly, looking at Mrs. Mei speechless, she was so ashamed that she didn't care about the courtesy, and ran out with a whin, just in front of Shi Jinyu who came back.
Shi Jinyu turned sideways to avoid Mei Ya, and when Mei Ya saw her sweetheart seeing her like this, she was even more sad and ran away directly.
Mrs. Mei was also sneering, and after Shi Jinyu asked for peace, she broke up unhappily.
If it were someone else, she would definitely be ashamed to tell her husband about the bad things of her relatives, after all, this is a shameful thing, but Shao Yunhua is different, she has nothing to say about Shi Jinyu, and it can also be said that she has enough confidence, so she told Shi Jinyu about today's events as it was.
Shi Jinyu looked at Shao Yunhua, and the husband and wife couldn't understand the brain circuits of the Mei family.
Mrs. Mei didn't sleep all night, Shao Yunhua's unkindness made her angry, but she also knew that she still had to rely on Shao Yunhua, otherwise they were not familiar with life in the capital, and the two granddaughters would definitely not be able to get a good family, and if they couldn't bear it, they would make a big plan.
As a result, Mrs. Mei soon found that Shao Yunhua's situation was completely different from what she imagined in Guangdi, she had to go to court every morning, busy with official business, and she didn't participate in all kinds of flower viewing meetings such as begonias, osmanthus, chrysanthemums, etc., and couldn't help but be more anxious, these are the places where the ladies of various prefectures choose wives for their own Xiaolangjun, Shao Yunhua doesn't go, how can her two cousins go? How can you get into the eyes of the lady of Beijing?
When Shao Yunhua was free, Mrs. Mei asked directly: "Yunhua, now is the season to appreciate the lotus, I see that the lotus flowers in the garden are blooming very well, pink and white, quite interesting, why don't you invite some of your friends and elders, everyone get together and have fun." ”
Shao Yunhua really laughed angrily, she really couldn't be polite this time, and said frankly: "Grandmother, I have to go to the court every morning to have breakfast and immediately go to the Yamen office, now Yunnan Tibet is still unstable, and my granddaughter will go to suppress bandits in a few days. ”
Mrs. Mei was completely [choked], she didn't know that Shao Yunhua was busy living here, but when she said this, she actually gave up her face and let Shao Yunhua take the time to do it, not to mention, she is a grandson, her identity is there, why do it herself, everything is hard, her husband and son are not very free to play, but she never expected Shao Yunhua to be so polite, she was really angry.
This time the conversation was still unpleasant.
Mei Ying and Mei Ya kept comforting Mrs. Mei, and Mei Ya buried Shao Yunhua by the way: "Grandmother, don't be angry, she is not from our Mei family, even if we come to her to entertain, it is just a courtesy, and my aunt went early, how can she be close to us?" ”
Mrs. Mei really got more angry the more she listened, hated Shao Yunhua for refusing to help, eating a small amount of dishes, and complaining about the empress's frugality, she really didn't know how to enjoy it.
Shao Yunhua didn't lie at all, so on the third day after saying this, she began to work overtime, there are still small forces in Yunnan and Tibet fighting guerrilla warfare with Daqin, and the two sides have won and lost each other, of course, there are still many times when Daqin wins, but after all, it is not peaceful, so Shao Yunhua wants to transfer troops and send people.
Shi Jinyu is also busy in the military department, but he is busy with grain and grass, this is good, but the work is over in one day, Shao Yunhua is working overtime, he has to go back to the mansion alone, greet Mrs. Mei as usual, eat dinner, and go to the study to read.
Then--Shi Jinyu never expected that Mei Ya staged a scene where her cousin was not at home and her cousin came to deliver tea, which was really bad.
As the eldest son and grandson of the Shanxi Shi family, he is extremely smart and handsome, and he is undoubtedly a luminous body, and then the family has a big business and a large population, and a large population has advantages and disadvantages.
After spilling the tea, Shi Jinyu didn't say a word, and went directly to Mrs. Mei.
Maya was directly scared silly! She didn't think that Shi Jinyu was so simple, nor did she think that Shi Jinyu wanted to make a big deal out of it, aren't the brothers in the family willing to accept the people who send them to the door? And in terms of appearance, in terms of family, where can I not compare to my rude cousin? It's a pity that she is not allowed to think about it at all, because Shi Jinyu has already arrived at Mrs. Mei's residence.
