248 Self-made
Taohua also felt that the queen and the queen mother were deliberately blocking her.
"Prince Cheng, this is shameless!" Mint said indignantly while doing needlework, and the needle in his hand pierced the cloth fiercely, as if it was piercing the flesh of Prince Cheng.
"There's nothing left when you see it, and what kind of face do you need?" Yuzhu also said, "The prince's mansion is extinct, and I am afraid that the title will be withdrawn, and she will be useless as the princess." ”
Of course, before the death of Prince Cheng, Prince Cheng's Mansion will not be recovered, but a widow without a son is just waiting for death, even if there is a title of Prince and Princess, how can anyone take it seriously?
"I heard that now in the prince's mansion, there are already people thinking about going out...... "Those palace attendants who are serving in the palace have begun to ask people to find a way to transfer out, and those who are not in the name of the concubines in the palace have also moved their minds, in short, the entire prince's mansion is now in chaos."
Taohua was flipping through a medical book and said lightly: "She messes with her, just don't come to me for trouble." ”
Yuzhu hurriedly said: "But now, she is looking for trouble with the princess." "I've already gone to the Zongren Mansion, what is it if I'm not looking for trouble?
"As long as I don't agree with the prince, she can't do anything." What's more, Brother Xu is the only son of her and Shen Shu, and the queen mother and the queen mother are no longer unreasonable, and there is no matter how much one family protects the other, "The queen just deliberately spoke to me." ”
Mint hesitated, but said: "Now there is only one brother in our house, and the queen mother and the queen mother naturally can't help it, but if it is ......" If the princess has another son, then there will be a reason to succeed."
"I'll talk about that back then." Taohua turned another page of the medical book, still faintly and authentically.
Mint and Yuzhu glanced at each other, and their eyes were a little anxious - the princess never took things seriously, but now this matter, it is really a matter! It's not like a side concubine coming in the palace or something, but it's going to send my brother out. Even if the side concubine is stuffed in, it can be rectified, but if the brother sends it out, he can't get it back.
Taohua caught a glimpse of the two girls out of the corner of her eye, smiled, and did not speak. According to her observations during this time, as well as consulting medical books, and recalling the knowledge of her previous life, it can basically be judged that the queen is indeed a sign of madness now, and it depends on what can touch her nerves and become the last straw that breaks the camel's back.
The queen and the queen mother are indeed the most noble women in the world, but what if they are crazy?
"Mother-" Brother Xu'er's loud voice came in from outside, and then the curtain was lifted, he climbed over the threshold, and rushed straight into Taohua's arms, "Drink water!" ”
Momoka hugged him and kissed him. Since June, this kid has suddenly been able to call his mother accurately, but the level of speech is still at the level of two words jumping out. For example, when he talks about drinking water now, he actually means drinking sour plum soup, but the three words of sour plum soup are too difficult, so they are uniformly called water.
"Drink water. Okay, Yuzhu brings water. Taohua deliberately misinterpreted her son's meaning, and beckoned Yuzhu to bring a glass of warm water. Sure enough, Brother Xu twisted his little head away after just a glance: "I want to drink - sour...... Soup ......"
Taohua laughed: "The weather is cold, and there is no sour plum soup." "Children should still drink more plain water, although the sour plum soup made here has no additives, but after all, there is sugar, and it is not good to drink too much.
Brother Xu pursed his little mouth, pulled Taohua's sleeve and dangled it: "Mother-"
Taohua touched his little face and pinched it again: "There is so much meat, and I have to drink sour plum soup, and I will be so fat that I can't run when I turn around." ”
"I can run!" Brother Xu puffed out his cheeks unconvinced, "I want to drink." ”
"Then drink the water first, and you will be allowed to drink a glass."
When Brother Xu heard that there was sour plum soup to drink, he honestly drank all the glass of water, and then Yuzhu brought him a small cup of sour plum soup. Brother Xu looked at the big cup he had just drunk water, and then at the small cup that could only hold a few mouthfuls of sour plum soup, his little head turned around, and he looked like he had been deceived.
Taohua couldn't help but smile until her stomach hurt, and said with a straight face: "Don't you want to drink sour plum soup?" What, don't want to drink anymore? ”
"Drink-" Brother Xu knew that it was useless to bargain with his mother, although this cup was small, it was better than nothing, so he quickly grabbed it in his hand, and drank it in small sips with great cherishment, and after drinking, he was reluctant to let go, and he couldn't wait to lick the cup again.
The nurse at the bottom didn't know what to say. The son of the dignified county palace is so reluctant to give up on a sour plum soup, who is willing to believe it. However, the princess's rules, they didn't dare to comment half a word.
Taohua took the cup from her son's hand: "Are you hungry?" Do you want to eat custard? "It's still early for dinner, so it's okay to give him a small bowl of custard, and it can make him forget about the sour plum soup.
Sure enough, Brother Xu immediately said: "I want to eat!" "He was very active in eating, he had always had a good appetite, and when he heard the egg custard, he threw the sour plum soup to the back of his mind.
"Good." Taohua rubbed his face and felt that it felt so good, "Would you like to take you to your great-uncle's grandfather's house in a few days?" "Brother Xu is now older, he should take him out more, and after Jiang Songhua's palace test, he has set the second list of Jinshi, and she will also go over to have a look at it with wine.
Brother Xu knew that his great-uncle's grandfather was Mrs. Jiang: "Okay...... Where? He wanted to ask where Mrs. Jiang's home was, but the four words of great-uncle and grandfather were too long for him, so he could only skip over and only say the last two words.
Taohua now understands her son's words very well: "It's not far from our house, take a carriage over." ”
Brother Xu grew up so big, he had only been to Jiang Xi's house, and he was very interested in his great-uncle's grandfather's house: "Who is there?" "My grandfather has a little uncle in the house, an aunt Lin, and many other people, who is in my great-uncle's family?
Taohua hugged him and was telling him about Old Lady Jiang's family members one by one, when Shen Shu walked in from outside, his face was a little indescribable. When Brother Xu saw him, he shouted happily: "Dad-" and then stretched out his two little arms, "Feifei!" ”
"Just like his uncle." Taohua slapped her son's buttocks, who had no intention of listening to her explanation, and pushed him to Shen Shu.
Shen Shu picked up Brother Xu and lifted him in the air seven or eight times, and when he had laughed enough, he put it down and handed it to the nurse: "Take him to the bath." ”
Brother Xu is still a little unsatisfied, but the nurse has already understood that this is because the prince and the princess have something to talk about, so even the brother has to send it out. Just as the hot egg custard was delivered, he took a small bowl to coax Brother Xu to eat the egg custard.
"This kid, if you have something to eat, you don't even want your father and mother." Taohua saw Brother Xu go out with the nurse like a donkey who was fished away by a carrot, and couldn't help but laugh, "What's the matter today?" ”
"The invasion of the Fuzhou Japanese invaders, and some eyebrows have been found." Shen Shu watched his son go out, and the smile on his face disappeared, "The one who was convicted of dereliction of duty at the beginning was just a scapegoat, and now two local officials have been pulled out, and then Yu Rui will be found out." ”
Taohua perked up: "Can you find it?" "Sure enough, it was Yu Rui who did it! This bastard, it's not enough to kill people in Shandong, and when he arrives in Fujian, he uses the lives of innocent people to make a step to advance, and he should be killed 10,000 times!
"If you continue to investigate it like this, you will find it." Shen Shu shook his head, "It's strange that Elder Yu Ge didn't stop him. ”
It is not uncommon to be able to find Yu Rui, there is no impermeable wall in the world, and the emperor has long expected that it is him, and he has set his sights on the target to check, so he will naturally get twice the result with half the effort. However, Yu Ge Lao didn't stop him and didn't make trouble in it, which is unusual.
"Does he think the emperor can't find evidence? Have you already cleaned Yu Rui? Momoka guessed, "After all, it's been so long......"
Shen Shu still shook his head: "Although the matter has passed for a long time, there are always some clues, not to mention that General Lu found out that something was wrong at that time, and immediately started to investigate, and now the evidence in his hand, coupled with the confessions of these two officials, is enough to involve Yu Rui." ”
The husband and wife looked at each other, and they couldn't guess what medicine was sold in Yu Ge's old gourd. After a while, Shen Shu sighed: "Forget it, let's check it and see." I shouldn't have told you about it and made you worry about it. Speaking of which, what's going on over there in Prince Cheng's Mansion? Still bothering you? "Momoka has enough things to do every day.
"It's still making a fuss." Taohua sneered, "But I don't go to the door of our palace anymore - I won't let her enter when I know it's coming, but I run to the palace every day." Let her toss, I'll see how she goes. ”
"That slut-" Shen Shu squeezed a sentence from between his teeth, "The emperor also told me that the queen has been fighting with her these days, and even the Yuan and Zhao families in the palace can't take care of rectification." ”
Taohua was angry and funny: "This is really strange, I don't know where I got into the eyes of the queen, and I value me so much." "The queen is like having a grudge against her, just because she is Jiang Meihua's cousin? Or is it because she has treated Lu Ying? The queen wants to deal with her, and even Yuan Shufei and Zhao Chongyi are behind her?
Shen Shu glanced at Taohua with a deep groan, and stopped talking. Taohua now understands his temper, and when she saw him like this, she said, "What's the inside story?" ”
Shen Shu hesitated for a long time, couldn't stand Taohua's questioning, and had to cough dryly: "It is said that you are somewhat similar to the emperor's eldest concubine Xia......" This news was quietly passed on by the eunuch of the Flower and Bird Room, but he never revealed it in front of Taohua.
"That's it?" Momoka simply felt incredible, "What nonsense! ”
"?" Shen Shu felt that this matter was quite credible, but he didn't expect Taohua to have such an attitude.
"Naturally, it's." Taohua said categorically, "I am similar to the eldest princess of the emperor, where is the similarity?" ”
If it is said that it is the appearance, it must not be much similar, otherwise when she saw the Queen Mother and the Queen for the first time, why were the two not half different?
If it's temperament, it's even more ridiculous. It's not that Taohua feels that there is anything superhuman, but she dares to say that the woman taught in this era can't be too similar to her, a person who has crossed over.
"This ...... Yes......" Shen Shu was really asked, and even the eunuch Wang said that Taohua's temperament is completely different from Xia's, if you talk about appearance, it is just a three-point similarity.
"If the emperor loves the Xia family deeply, he will not look down on a person who does not look like a god. If you don't love the Xia family, then you won't empathize with someone who is slightly similar. Taohua snorted, "Anything similar, that's just an excuse." "There is no one to replace the person you really love.
Shen Shu grabbed his hair: "You don't ...... what you say."
Before he could say anything, Mint's voice sounded outside: "Princess, the eldest wife of the Jiang family has come to invite the princess to go to Oufu for a trip, saying that the fifth girl has had a miscarriage." ”
"Miscarriage?" Taohua was stunned for a moment, "Isn't it just a few days since the Ximai was diagnosed?" ”
Mint poked his head in: "The person who came was in a panic, and he couldn't say why, the slave asked a few words, as if it was because he was angry with the head of the family, and somehow he fell down......"
Taohua sighed: "Let's go, let's take a look." ”
There are not many people in the Ou family, because Mrs. Ou is widowed, Mrs. Ou is healthy, and European Airlines wants to study, and the masters of the family are very quiet, so the people are also used to whispering and behaving properly, even at this time, it does not seem very chaotic.
As soon as Taohua's carriage arrived at the gate of Oufu, the maid next to Mrs. Ou came forward to continue, which was seen in Xingjiao Temple back then, and when she saw Taohua, she squatted down and saluted: "Our wife can't be separated in the house, so she can't come to greet her, and I ask the princess of the county to forgive me." ”
"The wife of the in-laws is an elder, why be so polite." The door of the Ou family was narrow, and the carriage couldn't get in, so Taohua could only get out of the car and walk, and asked as she walked inside, "How is my fifth sister?" ”
There was a look of embarrassment on the maid's face: "Young grandmother - she has already had a miscarriage...... Actually, Mrs. Ou didn't want to alarm Taohua. As soon as Jiang Danhua fell, she immediately invited Lang Zhong, who often came, and Lang Zhong said that the child could not be saved. However, after Xiaoshi came over, he had to invite Taohua, but the subordinates sent out only went out on the front foot, Jiang Danhua had a miscarriage here, and now Taohua is useless even if he comes.
"Why did you have a miscarriage?" Taohua also heard that Jiang Danhua was pregnant and didn't know it, so she was a little fluctuated at that time. However, after a period of recuperation, is it not only not good, but even worse?
The maid lowered her head and did not answer, but said, "The princess, please." ”
Because the old house of the Ou family is not in the capital, this place was bought after Ou Airlines won the Jinshi, so the house is very small, and the courtyard where Jiang Danhua lives is even bigger, as soon as Taohua entered the courtyard gate, he heard Jiang Danhua's cry inside: "Listen to that cheap maid in Quan, if it weren't for her, I wouldn't have fallen!" ”
The maid who led the way lowered her head and led Taohua to the door, only to raise her voice slightly: "Madam, the princess of the county is here." ”
Mrs. Ou came out of it with a yellow face, and she had to salute when she met. How could Taohua let her salute, and hurriedly said, "Don't be like this, my wife, I'm here to see my fifth sister-"
"Princess, please." Mrs. Ou felt exhausted, and watched Taohua enter the back room, but she couldn't move her two legs. The personal maid hurriedly came up to support her: "Mrs. sit down and rest." "It's been tossing for several hours, and my wife hasn't even sat down, and she's not in good health, so how can I stand it.
"Where's the girl from Tingquan?" Where can Mrs. Ou sit down, she only asked in a deep voice.
The personal maid bowed her head and said, "Kneel in the courtyard of the study." It's just, ma'am...... Originally......"
"You're going to speak for her?" Mrs. Ou gave her a cold look.
The personal maid hesitated for a moment, but still knelt down: "Mrs. knows that Tingquan Suri is an honest person, and she only ...... because the young grandmother wants to scratch her face."
Mrs. Ou held her forehead and muttered, "Evil, really evil......"
When Taohua entered the back room, she smelled a smell of medicine. Jiang Danhua was lying on the bed, still crying: "Mother, you have to be the master for me!" ”
Xiao Shi sat on the edge of the bed, distressed and irritable: "What the hell is going on?" You take care of the baby, what are you going to do with a girl? She did something wrong, didn't she still have your mother-in-law? You just have to tell your mother-in-law, she is in charge of whether you should fight or sell, what do you toss yourself! ”
Since Jiang Danhua became pregnant, the Ou family really regarded her as the pearl in the palm of her hand, and the rules were not established, not to mention that it was almost the same as responding to requests, if any of the people who were not long-sighted offended Jiang Danhua at this time, Xiaoshi did not believe that Mrs. Ou would cover up.
Jiang Danhua choked for a moment, and cried again: "Now that my child is gone, it was all that cheap maid, I want to kill her!" ”
In the end, Mo Ruomu, who knew the daughter, saw that Jiang Danhua avoided talking about the reason for the accident, and felt that something was wrong, and turned his head to stare at Mu Xi: "What is going on?" ”
Mu Xi lowered her head at her. What's going on, what does she say?
Tingquan is a maid of European Airlines, and most of these maids have been accepted in the end. Because the Ou family has a strict family education, they don't put the girl in the room before the son marries a wife, so Tingquan is actually still a girl's family, and there is nothing out of the ordinary. However, everyone also knew that sooner or later Tingquan would be a member of European Airlines, which was also something that Mrs. Ou acquiesced to.
Speaking of which, most people do the same, but Jiang Danhua is reluctant in his heart. Tingquan was born with five or six colors, especially since he was a child, he followed European Airlines, and he was also proficient in poetry and books, writing and painting, and he had a bit of a bookish atmosphere, so he taught Jiang Danhua to look unpleasant.
Originally, Tingquan only served in the study, never came to Jiang Danhua's eyes, and Jiang Danhua married into the Ou family and was also a bride, although he was worried about this in his heart, he didn't dare to attack at will. It's just that after she became pregnant, the Ou family picked her up, and they thought about taking this opportunity to send Tingquan away.
Sending a maid is nothing more than two ways: selling and marrying. Tingquan has served European Airlines for ten years, and he has never made any mistakes, so he can't sell it, so Jiang Danhua picked someone at random in his companion room to tell Tingquan about his family.
"Who did you pick?" Xiao Shi already felt that something was wrong when he heard this. The companion room was all selected by her for Jiang Danhua, so she naturally knew that there was no young and suitable person in it.
Jiang Danhua turned his head and muttered, "Isn't it Steward Li?" Even though he's a little older, he's also a steward......"
"You-" Xiao Shi died of anger. Steward Li is thirty years old and has not yet married, because he has a birthmark on his face, and his face is a little terrifying. Jiang Danhua asked for such a person to Tingquan, how could Tingquan agree? Not to mention Tingquan and European Airlines, even if there is no hope, the maid may not be willing to marry Steward Li.
If Jiang Danhua carefully picks a good one for Tingquan, even if Tingquan himself is reluctant, Mrs. Ou and Ou Hang have nothing to say, maybe they really use this child to send people away, but Jiang Danhua is clever again, he not only wants to send Tingquan away, but also wants to come up with his own breath and pick such a person.
Tingquan was unwilling, and in a hurry, he collided with Jiang Danhua. Jiang Danhua was annoyed, so he wanted to scratch her face. Hearing that Quan Ben was kneeling on the ground, he got up and dodged when he saw the situation, Jiang Danhua threw himself into the air and stopped his foot, fell to the ground, and had a miscarriage.
When Xiao Shi heard this, he almost wanted to slap Jiang Danhua: "You are crazy!" For a girl, she gave away the child in her belly, "My uncle is an official, and sooner or later there will be someone around him, do you have to toss everyone like this?" Which family doesn't live like this, don't say it's my uncle's girl, it's you-you're pregnant now, and you should arrange someone for your uncle......"
Jiang Danhua stiffened his neck and said: "King Anjun has a noble status, he doesn't have a concubine, he is a seven-grade petty official, but he wants to take a concubine and a maid——"
"That's—" Xiao Shi really didn't know what to say. King Anjun doesn't accept concubines, that is, Taohua has the ability to hold him, if Jiang Danhua also has this ability, he can naturally, if he doesn't have this ability, be honest as soon as possible. What's more, Taohua will never treat King Anjun's maid like this, haven't I heard that a few days ago, the big girl of King Anjun married a high-grade imperial doctor and went to be a wife? Take a look at other people's arrangements, and then look at the Li steward picked by Jiang Danhua, how much is the difference here, what do people say?
Taohua stood at the door of the inner room, neither advancing nor retreating, but Mu Xi saw it at a glance, and hurriedly glanced at the envoy. This is really embarrassing for everyone, Xiao Shi glared at Jiang Danhua fiercely, and reluctantly got up with a smile and said: "You work again, it's really - your sister is ......"
Taohua didn't say much to her, went straight to the bed and sat down, carefully checked Jiang Danhua's pulse, and said: "The days of pregnancy are shallow, and the miscarriage will not hurt your body too much." The fifth sister is young, so it's okay to take care of it. I'll make a prescription and eat it seriously for a month. ”
In fact, Fang Cai Langzhong also said so, but Xiao Shi was not at ease, and now he was relieved after listening to Taohua's words, thanked him repeatedly, and secretly pinched Jiang Danhua, Jiang Danhua lowered his head and said, "Thank you third sister." ”
Taohua really didn't have anything to say to her, so she got up and said goodbye. When I got out of Jiang Danhua's yard, I heard a cry in front of me, and when I looked up, it was two mothers-in-law who set up a maid in green clothes and went outside. The green-clothed maid was crying and saying something, and Taohua vaguely heard the words of "Mrs." and "Young Master", and knew that this Eight Achievements was Tingquan.
If you want to talk about this matter, it is really difficult to say who is right and who is wrong, but Jiang Danhua has a miscarriage, and even if Tingquan is not half wrong, he can't leave it. In fact, if you really say it, it is this custom of taking concubines and keeping maids, which will cause contradictions from the root.
However, this kind of thing is not something that Taohua can reverse, she can only sigh, go to Mrs. Ou to say goodbye, and leave the Ou family.
There is such a bad thing on a good day, and I don't know if Jiang Songhua's celebratory banquet can be done. Taohua was emotional, and listened to the sound of horses' hooves on the street in front of her, and galloped over like a drum: "Where is this urgent report?" "If it is not an urgent matter, it is not allowed to gallop like this in the downtown in the capital," this year, it looks like another eventful autumn......
