Chapter 293 Poverty is solitary
The two hundred and ninety-third round
Before the Lu sister-in-law fell into the water, there were indeed only two Lu sisters in the pavilion next to the pond. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info: How can one person fall into the water and another get out of the water? As long as others think about it a little, they will put the culprit on the eldest daughter of the Lu family.
There is a lot of privacy in the back house of the powerful prince. Because of the big family business, it is common for several rooms to be incompatible, and even the children of the concubines born in one room have different identities, which indicates that there is no equal status.
The lord is often inherited by the concubine of the long house, and it is more convenient to seek a career outside the country than the concubine. The concubine can only be idle at home, and when the time comes, he will marry a wife and have children, and pass on the lineage to spread the branches.
As for the concubine of the back house, the most important thing in life is to get married. Because the surname is more noble than ordinary people, the husbands who marry are often young talents from one in a hundred. In this way, a screening will form a situation where there are more monks and less meat. The relationship between the concubines and daughters is even worse than that between the concubines. In the past, there was a scandal about the concubines of a certain family fighting for a husband.
In fact, there are more unknown incidents, hidden in the dark places beyond the reach of rumors, growing in the backhouses of various families, gradually fermenting into sour brew, until one day it suddenly erupts.
For example, this time, the concubine of the Fan Yang Lu family fell into the water at the noble banquet held by the eldest grandson's mansion. In fact, pushing people into the water without saying a word is already a not very new stalk. However, this method has endured for a long time.
When the eldest grandson heard people shouting for help, she already had some calculations in her heart. She has lived in the huge mansion for seventeen years, and she faces countless aunts and househusbands every day, and the tricks of various infighting in the back house are as clear as a mirror.
There are several possibilities for this today.
One is that the concubine had a quarrel, and the concubine was pushed into the water by the eldest daughter; The second is that in order to frame the eldest daughter, the concubine fell into a pond that was not deep; The third is that the concubine really accidentally stepped on the empty steps, and the center of gravity was deviated and caused to fall into the water.
The hairpin lady asked the eldest grandson to escape Aya's reproach, and said that the first possibility was a black and white fact. The eldest grandson lady has done a lot of outrageous things with the hairpin girl since she was a child, but she still can't do it if she is "framed" indiscriminately, even if the eldest daughter does not look innocent.
The eldest grandson patted the hairpin lady's hand and bowed, "I already have a preliminary plan." After that, she walked into the distance, took the initiative to sit next to the eldest daughter of the Lu family, poured her a cup of tea soup with calming effect, and asked, "Yan Niang, what happened in the pavilion just now?" You have to tell me the truth, or you will have to listen to the words of the concubine who will wake up later. ”
Lu Yan took the glazed white teacup with trembling hands, and the tears of the bean could no longer be held back, falling from the red eyes.
Seeing this, the hairpin lady sighed, knowing in her heart that the eldest grandson did not want to ruin the future of this eldest daughter, and she would no longer care about this idle matter. She is not the proprietor, and she has no intersection with the Fan Yang Lu family, so it is superfluous to give advice to the eldest grandson, and now she stepped back to her seat, but she just happened to see Qin Ying lying on the side of the case.
Qin Ying seemed to hear the sound of the seat being occupied, and turned her face to the hairpin lady and said, "...... Is it right to be pure and inactive? She squinted a pair of drunken eyes, looked at the hairpin lady's somewhat blurred face, and asked.
In fact, when the hairpin lady and Qin Ying first met, they had already discussed what "pure and inaction" meant. However, Qin Ying was quite heartbroken when he talked about it now.
The hairpin lady reached out and tried Qin Ying's forehead, seeing that she didn't drink the heat, knowing that she wasn't talking drunk, her face couldn't help but be more serious: "Confucius Zeng Yun, if you are poor, you will be good to yourself, and if you are good, you will help the world." The practice of pure inaction is limited and only correct when you are destitute. ”
Qin Ying nodded thoughtfully when she heard this, and then asked again: "Then what are you and now?" ”
“…… What do you think. The hairpin girl said four words lightly, and dragged the tail note meaningfully. She understood that Qin Ying was questioning her attitude of protecting herself, but she didn't feel that she was wrong. They have not yet gained a foothold among the nobles, how can they intervene in what happens to others? What is it that blindly making a move is not a fire?
Qin Ying lowered her eyes when she heard this, obviously the words of the hairpin lady had already dissected the reality to her.
Now Qin Ying and the hairpin lady are newcomers, and the other is back, neither of them can have a decisive prestige in the noble girl circle, the only thing they can do is to take care of their mouths and hands and feet, and try not to get involved in trouble.
Despite this, Qin Ying felt aggrieved. But since she has put on women's clothes, she must be prepared to endure hardships. In the past, she wore men's clothing for two years before she gradually entered the official career. It can be seen that all achievements have to go through a forbearance.
Reluctantly convincing herself, Qin Ying raised her head and thought about how she could make a name for herself among the nobles as soon as possible. When she was chatting with Zheng Ru just now, she heard that Su Zhiyan had only entered the circle of nobles not long ago.
Qin Ying thought about it, and the corners of her mouth curved, the starting point of the two of them was not different. It's up to you to see who can shine in the noble ladies and win the favor of the queen and your majesty. Four years is not long or short, and it is more than enough to compete for the position of crown princess, isn't it.
After a while, the eldest grandson had already found part of the truth from Lu Yan's intermittent narration. She comforted Lu Yan a few words, and then got up to deal with Aye, who hurried to the backyard with a bad face.
Uncle Changsun Guo's court affairs were not busy, but he had a lot of time to entertain guests. When eating tea with Gao Shilian, Uncle Changsun Guo heard that at the banquet of the noble ladies in the backyard, the concubine of the Fan Yang Lu family fell into the water, his eyebrows wrinkled fiercely, and he said in his heart that this back house is really not worry-free.
Originally, holding a banquet for noble ladies in the eldest grandson's mansion was a good thing to bring glory to his face, and it could also help his network more. Now it has become a bad thing that offends the Fan Yang Lu clan.
Uncle Changsun Guo thought like this, and walked to the back house with a gloomy face.
Gao Shilian saw that the eldest grandson Wuji would deal with the chaos in the back house first, and also asked him to resign, but the eldest grandson Wuji did not agree, only said that he would return to the room as soon as possible. In the past, the eldest grandson was in decline, that is, Gao Shilian adopted the eldest grandson brother and sister, how can the friendship between the uncle and nephew be measured by time.
The eldest grandson saw Aya at the door of the backyard and made a salute, apologized again and again for not taking care of the guests as the proprietor, and took Aya to the backyard to place the Lu family's daughter's wing to visit.
In front of outsiders, Uncle Eldest Sun was not good at his daughter, but just nodded with a straight face. After entering the wing, his eyes fell on the lying man, and said, "Why are you still not awake?" ”
She bowed her head and saluted again before replying respectfully: "The doctor has already left a prescription and has sent a little servant to the West Market to grab medicine...... I want to come to the small kitchen to boil the medicine, so that she can wake up after drinking it. ”
Uncle Eldest Sun Guo blew his beard and reprimanded: "If you follow your method, when will this be?" All the remedial actions of our family must be done to the Lu family after she wakes up. He stroked his beard impatiently, combed it and said to himself, "--I'm going to spend a lot of money to invite the Lord of Xihua to come." (To be continued.) )
