Chapter 173: Supplication
Lin Long was slightly stunned, go to Chen Guogong's mansion?
Before she could figure out what Ye Zhong was going to do, she heard her urging again, and hurriedly said: "Mother-in-law, you are sick, you should rest more at this time, what do you command, I will go over ......"
Ye Zhongshi frowned, and finally endured the discomfort in his body, "It's better for me to go in person to show sincerity, okay, don't ask more, hurry up and prepare." ”
Lin Long moved his lips, and saw that Ye Zhong had made up his mind, so he didn't ask any more questions, and went out to order someone to prepare the carriage.
When he was busy with this qiē, he saw that Ye Zhong had already been prepared and waited at the gate of the courtyard supported by embroidered satin.
"Mother-in-law, let's get into the carriage first." Lin Long held one of Ye Zhong's arms and helped her into the carriage.
When she was about to get into the carriage, she looked at the two sleeping children, and told Lin Lu to go back to Nanyuan first and wait, and if there was any need, just order the subordinates directly.
"Mother-in-law, this time there is a lot of trouble for you." Ye Zhongshi lifted the curtain of the car and said politely, this time she fell ill, and it was also thanks to Lin Lu's to see the two precious golden grandsons, and she was also grateful in her heart.
"Mother-in-law, don't say that, besides, I'm very happy." Lin Lu's hurriedly responded, and urged Lin Long to hurry up and get into the carriage, so as not to let his mother-in-law wait for a long time.
Lin Long was relieved to be helped by Ruyan to get into the carriage, there have been a lot of things recently, she didn't even go to the Jade Skin Shop for many days, but fortunately, when Ye Tian came to visit her, she told her about the operation of the shop, and she had to entrust the six aunts to worry about the business, she really couldn't take care of it.
Ye Tian didn't shirk it, and said that she didn't have to worry, she was still watching in the store. After all, Ye Manjun encountered such a terrible thing, not to mention the big house, just her, she has been stuffed for a long time, what a good girl, but her fate is bumpy.
Along the way, Ye Zhongshi seemed to be in poor spirits, and he was half-asleep on the pillow.
Lin Long waited carefully on the side, and she couldn't be sloppy at all, and finally arrived at Chen Guogong's mansion, she hurriedly nudged Ye Zhong's family, "Mother-in-law, it's here." ”
Ye Zhongshi opened his eyes slightly, and his eyes were confused for a while, and finally focused on his daughter-in-law's handsome face, "Arrived?" ”
"Just had someone hand me a prayer post." Lin Long hurriedly helped her sit up, and personally served her with tea.
Ye Zhongshi drank a few sips of tea, and then he seemed a little more energetic, and rubbed the corners of his forehead lightly, "I just had a dream, and I dreamed that Sister Jun was back......"
At this point, she couldn't say it anymore.
Lin Long was busy massaging Ye Zhong's temples, "Mother-in-law, you can't do this, if you continue for a long time, your body will definitely be unbearable." ”
"Why don't I know?" Ye Zhongshi said helplessly, "It's just that when I think of Sister Jun, my heart is as uncomfortable as burning, and I really can't wait to take a boat to Ruyang City to pick her up now." ”
When Lin Long heard this, he could only sigh a few times in his heart, but he still persuaded and persuaded him on his face.
The carriage drove into Chen Guogong's mansion and stopped in front of the shadow wall, she was busy helping Ye Zhong's to get out of the carriage, and saw Chen Yan, the head of Chen Guogong's mansion, hurriedly greeted her with someone, obviously just receiving a greeting from the Xiangyang Hou Mansion.
"Duchess of the Kingdom." As soon as Ye Zhong stood still, he hurriedly greeted Chen Yan.
Chen Yanshi was also busy returning the salute, and then looked at Lin Long, who got off the carriage behind, and hurriedly greeted again, in short, he tried not to be rude.
"I took the liberty to visit, the time was in a hurry, and I didn't have time to say hello first, but it was not our mother-in-law and daughter-in-law." Ye Zhong said politely.
"What did Mrs. Ye say, we are happy that you can come." Chen Yan hurriedly said, "Presumably Mrs. Ye also knows what happened in Ruyang City, right?" My mother-in-law also fell ill because of this, and the doctor said that time was running out. After speaking, he sighed deeply.
Lin Long, who was walking beside Ye Zhong's side, looked stunned, and looked at this Chen Yan's with both eyes, obviously the other party had made some preparations. Along the way, after thinking about it, she can be regarded as having figured out what Ye Zhongshi plans to do, but now it seems that it is not easy to perform.
Sure enough, Ye Zhong could also hear Chen Yan's subtext, and his steps paused, and after a while, he said: "It just so happens that I also want to come to visit Mrs. Chen, so please ask the Duchess to lead the way." ”
Chen Yanshi nodded, and hurriedly instructed the big girl next to him to run errands and report to the old lady first, "Please here." ”
Ye Zhong and Lin Long are not polite, now is not the time to talk about this, especially Ye Zhong, she can't wait to meet Mrs. Chen.
After going around the house for a while, the three of them abandoned the mule cart and entered the courtyard where Mrs. Chen lived.
Lin Long's nose was very smart, and he smelled a smell of medicine from a distance, it seemed that Chen Yan's family was not lying, this old lady Chen was indeed ill, and she was obviously hit by the same big blow as Ye Zhong's.
She peeked at Ye Zhong's expression, and didn't see that the mother-in-law's expression had changed, and she began to worry about what she wanted.
Chen Yan lifted the curtain and personally led the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law into the inner room, "Mother-in-law, the two ladies from the Xiangyang Hou Mansion have come to see you." ”
Mrs. Chen was sick in bed, her face was much older than what she had seen a few months ago, and the expression on her face was very depressed, and when she heard her daughter-in-law's voice, she was supported by the maid and struggled.
As soon as Ye Zhongshi saw this old lady Chen, his eyes immediately filled with tears, and he didn't even say a polite word, he immediately knelt down with his ears and knees, and looked at Mrs. Chen with tears streaming down his face.
"What is this for? Hurry up, hurry up...... "Mrs. Chen said busily, she can't bear the big gift of this line, although she is the old Duchess of the country, and she is higher than the Hou Mansion in terms of rank, but in terms of strength, the Chen Guo Mansion is gradually declining, not as prosperous as the Xiangyang Hou Mansion.
"Mrs. Ye, what are you doing?" Chen Yan's family was also in a hurry, and hurriedly helped Ye Zhongshi to get up.
Helplessly, although Ye Zhong's family is also sick, it seems that the next plate has taken root, no matter how Chen Yan's pulls her, she will not get up.
"Mrs. Hou, hurry up and persuade your mother-in-law." Chen Yan's family had no choice but to ask Lin Long for help, "It's cold on the ground, and you're going to get sick when you turn around, so it's not good......"
Lin Long did not respond to Chen Yan's request this time, but also knelt down, now is not the time to care about face, after all, they have to put down their faces if they have begged this old lady Chen.
"This, this can't be helped," Mrs. Chen was so frightened that she almost rolled off the bed, "Mrs. Xiangyang Hou, you are still the county lord, how can you kneel down and get old?" What's wrong with your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law? Something to say......"
Don't be scary when you come, although Mrs. Chen guessed what they were going to do when she received the news, she never expected the scene to be so hot.
Chen Yanshi was so anxious that he was even more in a cold sweat, persuading this and that, but he couldn't pull up the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Ye Zhong gently pushed away Chen Yan's hand and looked at Mrs. Chen, "Old Mrs. Chen, even if our two families almost became in-laws, they just made people. Now that you know the news of your grandson's death, although I am very sympathetic to Princess Ruyang's pain of losing her child, my sister Jun is still so young, she can't live like this for the rest of her life......"
At this point, she couldn't stop crying, and she couldn't say any more.
Lin Long stretched out his hand to hug Ye Zhong, who was crying incorrectly, and looked at Mrs. Chen with a clear face with red eyes, "Old Mrs. Chen, please have mercy on our sister, write a letter to Princess Ruyang, let her read on the friendship between the two families, and persuade King Ruyang to write a letter to cancel the family affairs between the two families, so that our sister Jun can come back." ”
Mrs. Chen and Chen Yan glanced at each other, and sure enough, they still came to mention this matter, what does the saint mean and their Guogong Mansion has not yet understood, the old lady is sick and the matter is half-true, the purpose is to let the Ye family retreat, but who knows that the Ye family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will stage this play as soon as they come in.
As soon as she mentioned her daughter, Mrs. Chen also began to cry, she cried no less than Ye Zhong's in the past two days, she was blind from crying, this woman had no son, and the evening was absolutely bleak. She originally thought that Ye Manjun was there to accompany her daughter, and her daughter at least had someone to talk to, but seeing Ye Zhong's like this, she couldn't bear it.
"Hurry up, and talk about it when you have something to say." That's all she can say.
Ye Zhongshi cried for a while, but he was in love for a lot, "Old Mrs. Chen, if you don't agree, you will forgive me for kneeling here today." I also know that this is difficult for a strong man, but now that the matter has come to this, Mrs. Chen should understand my feelings as a mother, for the sake of my sister, I can even give up my life, what else can I not let go? ”
These words made the Chen family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law also cry, and they were also mothers, and they also understood Ye Zhong's feelings.
"This marriage is given by the saint, and our Hou Mansion has no right to cancel it if it is canceled, but the Ruyang Wangfu is originally a lineage of the Zhu family, and it is a blood relative to the saint. They can unilaterally write to ask the Holy Lord for mercy, let our sister Jun come back, and then set up a son in the palace of the other day, and choose someone else, so as to save our sister Jun and her embarrassment. ”
When Mrs. Chen heard this, her expression paused slightly, "This mountain and water are far away......"
"Old Mrs. Chen, as long as you give a letter, our Hou Mansion will quickly send it to Ruyang City, and it will be handed over to Princess Ruyang." Lin Long hurriedly added.
Mrs. Chen originally wanted to find an excuse, after all, she didn't know what her daughter thought? Then there was a bit of embarrassment on his face.
Lin Long glanced at the faces of the Chen family, suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly said: "I heard that the two girls in your mansion are the show girls who are candidates for this election, I don't know what Mrs. Chen and the Duchess of Guo think?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the Chen family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law suddenly widened.
Lin Long's words are too tempting, which is equivalent to saying that if she loses the election or is a concubine, she can do it for them. If this was said by someone else, they could have regarded it as a joke, but when it was said by the queen's only righteous daughter, the truth of the word did not need to be verified.
"Mrs. Hou, is this true?" Chen Yan's was the first to react, after all, these two are her daughters, and as a mother, she must think about her daughter.
Lin Long smiled confidently, "Ming people don't say secret words, Duchess Guo, if I can say this today, I will be sure to do it." ”
If this can be exchanged for Ye Manjun's opportunity to return to Beijing, she will naturally not give up. It's just that it is necessary to ask for the stepmother Su Ziyu for this matter, which is just a gesture for Su Ziyu, the master of the middle palace, of course, she still owes this stepmother a great favor.
When Chen Yanshi got this, he immediately became enthusiastic, and hurriedly looked at his mother-in-law, "Mother-in-law, I see that this sister Jun is pitiful enough, and if she encounters this before she gets married, she will write a letter to her aunt and grandmother, and ask her to let Sister Jun come back." ”
Ye Zhong and Lin Long also hurriedly stared at Mrs. Chen, and they saw how the old lady made a choice.
Mrs. Chen was silent for a long time, on one side was her own daughter, and on the other hand was her own granddaughter, both of whom she was reluctant to give up, but she couldn't help but think about it, and after thinking about it a few times, she said: "I'll repair a book to my daughter, but whether she will do it or not, I can't pack the ticket." We haven't seen each other in all these years, and I don't know what she thinks now. ”
"Thank you, Mrs. Chen." Ye Zhong said busily, "Now I can only do my best and obey the destiny of heaven." ”
Mrs. Chen sighed, she is really doing her best, obeying the destiny of heaven, it is not easy for them to be mothers.
Chen Yan's family hurriedly went to help Ye Zhong's family up, because he was in a hurry, Ye Zhong's family was still in danger of standing still, but fortunately, Lin Long reacted quickly enough, and he grabbed her other arm and helped Ye Zhong's to sit down with Chen Yan's family.
Chen Yan didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly ordered someone to summon the house doctor.
Ye Zhongshi waved his hand, "I'm not in the way." "At this time, it is only serious to get the letter in hand.
Mrs. Chen no longer delayed time, busily grinded the ink and paper, got out of bed tremblingly, sat on the Luohan bed, and began to write a letter to her daughter.
Chen Yanshi saw that her mother-in-law was writing a letter, and she was busy pulling Lin Long out, this god was still eye-opening, and when she was anxious for her two daughters, she sent Lin Long this timely rain.
"Mrs. Hou, I don't know how to thank you this time?"
"Duchess Guo, needless to say, we are just mutually beneficial." Lin Long said, "By the way, the two daughters of your mansion plan are ......."
"Defeated." Chen Yanshi immediately gave two words and smiled bitterly, "Don't hide it from Mrs. Hou, my two daughters, one is weak, the other is willful and rude, no matter who enters the palace, I will be sad about gray hair, it is better to let them all lose the election, so that I can still take care of one or two." ”
When Lin Long heard this, he also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, this is easy to do if he loses the election, isn't it Su Ziyu's words? "Don't worry, Duchess Guo, after we send the letter to the Ruyang Palace, I will enter the palace immediately."
"That's great." Chen Yanshi said happily that her daughter had only been in the palace for two or three days, and she couldn't think about it.
This is just a mother's heart, Lin Long thought.
As soon as this letter arrived, Ye Zhong and Lin Long did not delay any longer, and hurriedly set off to rush back to the Hou Mansion, preparing to send the letter to Ruyang City.
The two hurried back to the mansion, only to see Zhong Guoshi waiting for them anxiously.
As soon as he saw Ye Zhong's, he hurriedly greeted him, "Grandma, you can be regarded as back......
"What's going on?" Ye Zhong asked with a pale face.
"Not a mother-in-law yet? If something like this happened to her niece, where could she still sit still? I entered the palace early in the morning, and I was afraid that I was going to ask the Queen Mother for mercy......" Zhong Guo said.
"Since I'm going to the Queen Mother's bedroom, nothing should happen?" Ye Zhongshi was not so worried.
"That's true, but I'm afraid that my mother-in-law will get worse at this time." Zhong Guo was afraid that his mother-in-law would contradict the Queen Mother, so he was afraid that there would be no good fruit to eat.
Ye Zhong's face immediately became anxious, this is not a joke, he was busy standing up and was about to enter the palace, but he knew that his body could not support it, so he immediately sat down, his legs were weak.
"Mother-in-law." Lin Long was about to come in with tea, and when he saw this scene, he hurriedly stepped forward to help.
After understanding the ins and outs, she frowned and said: "I will enter the palace now, for the sake of today, if my grandmother really angers the queen mother, only the queen mother can be even." ”
Su Ziyu is about to give birth, and the Queen Mother will sell her face no matter what, and she will not make Su Ziyu unhappy at this juncture, and this is the reason why pregnant women are bigger than the sky.
"Okay, please ask my niece and daughter-in-law." Zhong Guoshi hurriedly thanked him.
"Can you enter the palace alone?" Ye Zhongshi has more concerns, "Or I'm more relieved to go with you......"
"Mother-in-law, you can recuperate, I'll just go to this matter." Lin Long hurriedly sat down according to Ye Zhong's family, this return trip was very reluctant, wouldn't it cost Ye Zhong's life to enter the palace again?
She repeatedly assured that Ye Zhong's family was a little relieved to let her enter the palace alone.
Lin Long couldn't even drink a sip of tea when he returned to the house, let alone go to see his sons to dispel his fatigue, so he was busy entering the palace again.
Su Ziyu's belly is bulging high, and Mama Jin is now facing the enemy every day, for fear that if there is a mistake, her master will give her life, after all, this is the first child that her master has conceived since a habitual miscarriage.
Even those adopted children are not allowed to get close to Su Ziyu, who knows what these princes and princesses are thinking? I have to guard against it.
"How is the condition of the Eighth Prince?" Su Ziyu touched her stomach and asked, since Concubine Shu went, the life of the Eighth Prince has been prolonged to this day.
"The imperial doctor said that he still hangs his life with the original medicine, as long as he survives this winter, it should not be a problem to live for another year or two." Mama Jin replied, she didn't bother to care if that kid was alive or dead? His own master is too kind-hearted.
Su Ziyu frowned slightly, "Tell the Imperial Doctor to be careful, I don't want to see someone die at this time." ”
"Don't worry, mother." Mama Jin hurriedly responded.
Su Ziyu was in a good mood and ate a piece of pastry, took two bites, and said curiously: "How are those group of show girls doing?" ”
When it came to the draft, the people around Su Ziyu were angry, even if they wanted to choose, it was not too late to wait for the mother to be born.
"I've heard that the table is good......"
"Tell me about the best ones......
Su Ziyu gave an order, how could Mama Jin and the others dare to hide their secrets, and hurriedly told the situation of the show girls, of course, this group of show girls is indispensable to get close to which palace concubines? Who went to stammer with the Queen Mother?
Listening to these gossip, Su Ziyu's eyes began to have a plan.
Just as she was about to give instructions, Lu Su hurriedly came in to report, "Niangniang, the county lord of Ngee Ann asks to see you." ”
Su Ziyu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Let her in." ”――
