Chapter 168: A well-behaved punching bag
Murong Huaide frowned and shook his head, "No need, I'm afraid that the mother concubine will say that you pick the rest before sending her there." ”
Dong Rong smiled and persuaded, "If the concubine doesn't accept it, it's fine, but if we don't give it, the gift will be inadequate." ”
How can there be a child in the world who really hates his mother, Murong Huaide said coldly and hardly, but in fact, he still faintly hoped that the family would get along well, so with a hope of one in ten thousand, he asked Yiba to hold a few good materials and a pair of mutton fat jade bracelets and send them away.
Needless to say, Princess Liu not only smashed the jade bracelet and threw the fabric, but also used the excuse that Yiba didn't understand the rules and wanted to slap her mouth twenty. If it weren't for Bhachi's fast running, it is estimated that the little face would have become a steamed bun at this time.
The little girl was so aggrieved that she pouted, and said vigorously that she would never go to the main courtyard again. Murong Huaide's face darkened when he heard this, and he said coldly, "The day after tomorrow, I will send someone back to Qingxian to deliver the letter, you prepare some materials for the Cao family's Wang family, as for the main courtyard, you don't have to pay attention to it." ”
Dong Rong is extremely protective of her temperament, and when she heard that Princess Liu was going to fight Yiba, she was already a little annoyed in her heart. Hearing this, he naturally completely extinguished the idea of "family and everything is prosperous", and instead called Zizhu and Wen Niang to help with the staff list.
In two months, Dong Ping should go to Fucheng to take the exam. Dong Rong wanted to go back and take care of it herself, but she always had a faint feeling these days, as if she was going to live in Kyoto for a long time. In case of a rainy day, if you can't say it, you have to send a gift to Yang's house first. First, he entrusted Mr. Yang to take care of his younger brother, and secondly, it also implied that Mrs. Yang herself had not forgotten the oral marriage contract between the two families.
The Yang family is a scholarly family, and the gifts can not be all gold and silver vulgar things, so you can't choose two elegant and valuable ornaments, and then send a few good materials popular in Kyoto and two sets of exquisite head and face jewelry.
The rest of the Cao family and the Wang family are not so particular, and they only need to pick up practical or expensive clothes and foods. Especially Mrs. Cao, she gave her a pair of five-tael gold bracelets, and the old lady could wake up with a smile when she kept it.
Dong Rong made a list while calculating, and finally went to the warehouse to pick and choose, and finally all the gifts were ready, only the delicate and valuable ornaments were left without eyes.
Fortunately, on the second day, the congratulatory gifts of the shopkeepers in the state capitals were sent in like water, and she finally found a Tianhuang stone ornament, carved a picture of the autumn mountain sunset, which is very elegant, and must have won the favor of Mr. Yang.
Steward Zhang was ordered to escort the car back to Qingxian, the orchard is about to be harvested in autumn, and in the end it still needs a person who is familiar with everything to manage.
On a drizzly morning, Steward Zhang took two carriages out of Beijing and returned. Princess Liu has seen all kinds of good things sent to Xuemei Xuan these days, and she regrets that she shouldn't have rejected her son's intention to repair that day, otherwise her treasury would have been full at this time. It's a pity that her intestines are repentant, but she can't say it, so she has to secretly think about how to drag her son and prevent him from going back to the other courtyard with her daughter-in-law.
God promised to be gracious this time, and stood on her side for the first time. Just when Murong Huaide instructed the new steward Boss A to prepare to go back to the other hospital, news came from the courtyard where the old prince was recuperating that the old prince, who had been in a coma for many days and only relied on ginseng soup and other tonic medicines to continue his life, actually woke up.
Murong Huaide immediately rushed over with Dong Rong, Princess Liu was sitting on the edge of the bed, and there was not even a maid in the room, which seemed very empty.
Dong Rong secretly glanced at the somewhat weird old prince with a ruddy face, and there was a sigh in his heart, the dying person suddenly became so radiant, needless to say, it must be back to light.
Murong Huaide obviously thought of this, he helped his wife forward to salute together, and finally whispered, "Father, this is the child's wife, she is pregnant with twin sons in her belly, and it is almost six months now. ”
The last time father and son met was on the day when Murong Huaide just returned to the palace, and then the old prince woke up and fell asleep after spitting out a mouthful of blood, and then he was in a coma. Therefore, this is the second meeting between father and son.
"Come, Qiu'er, let my father take a closer look." The old prince smiled and took his son's hand, and finally said with relief, "You really look like your father when he was young, and I just heard your mother and concubine say that you are both civil and military but don't like political affairs, and my father is relieved." ”
After saying this, the old prince looked at his daughter-in-law with a smile again, nodded and said, "It's a good boy, Qiu'er is much smarter than his father back then." That's good, that's good, our Zhongshan Wangfu hasn't broken its bloodline after all. ”
Princess Liu listened to it on the side, her face was extremely bad, and she said angrily, "Qiu'er doesn't like political affairs, why are you still very happy?" Don't you spend your whole life drinking, but you still have to bury Qiu'er? ”
The old prince didn't seem to hear her words, reached out and pressed it on a raised wood grain on the side of the bed, and then took out a bloodstone seal and two deed papers from a small box that popped up, and finally put it directly in his son's hand and instructed, "My father thought that the blood was cut off, and under the grief and anger, the family business was also ruined. Fortunately, these two shops were left, just for the two grandchildren as a meeting gift. ”
Murong Huaide saw that his father, who was almost the same as his appearance, was now thin and almost out of shape, and the complaints that had accumulated in his heart for many years began to ferment somehow, and they were full of sourness. He persuaded in a low voice, "Father, it is better to wait for the two children to be born and give them to them personally." ”
The old prince shook his head with a smile, "No, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for them to be born." ”
Murong Huaide was still about to speak, but the old prince turned to look at Princess Liu, I don't know if he remembered the things he had been with for many years, his face was sometimes happy and sometimes annoyed, but in the end there was only helplessness.
"Yuehua, you... Do it yourself. ”
Princess Liu suddenly heard her husband call her daughter's name, but she didn't react for a long time, she opened her mouth and didn't wait to speak. Murong Huaide was already prostrate and shouted, "Father, father!" ”
Dong Rong hurriedly walked to the door with her stomach and called someone, "Hurry up and ask the imperial doctor to come." ”
The two imperial doctors were waiting under the eaves, and when they heard the sound, they hurriedly came in to check the pulse of the old prince, and at the end of the day, they looked at each other and knelt down in unison and said, "The prince... The crane has returned to the west! ”
The room was silent for a long time, no one spoke, Dong Rong looked at her husband who was standing by the bed like a clay sculpture, stepped forward and gently shook his hand. Murong Huaide turned his head blankly, his eyes gradually regained a little brilliance, his subordinates shook his wife's little hand tightly, and said in a low voice, "I'm fine, you go back first, I... Still busy! ”
"Well, don't forget about you and me and my sons." Dong Rong answered lightly and turned around and walked out the door, Zizhu and Yiba immediately stepped forward to help her walk towards Xue Meixuan.
As soon as the three of them stepped out of the courtyard gate, bursts of cries sounded behind them, and one of the female voices was particularly sharp, and her voice was full of disbelief and despair.
Dong Rong couldn't help but sigh, just like a group of little girls fighting for a flower, and finally a girl violently drove away all the opponents, but when she turned around, she found that the flower had withered. At this time, Princess Liu is the girl who has wasted her youth...
"Stop!" Liu Xiaozhen stood behind a moon gate holding the maid's hand, and saw Dong Rong's master and servant passing by, so she shouted.
Dong Rong glanced at her lightly, but she didn't have the slightest intention of staying under her feet, and completely treated this master and servant as a flower and plant on the side of the road. Liu Xiaozhen was still holding everyone's beautiful shelf, but now she was so angry that she lifted her skirt and chased after her, and said angrily, "Are you deaf, I called you, why don't you stop?" ”
Dong Rong was already thinking about her husband, and she was in an extremely bad mood. She didn't want to cause trouble, but people took the initiative to block the road and scold, so she didn't plan to let go of such a "well-behaved" punching bag.
"Whether I am deaf or not, Miss Liu does not have to care. is a scholarly family of the Liu family, and it stands to reason that even if the daughter who teaches does not understand shame, at least she should know the minimum etiquette. In terms of seniority, I am your cousin-in-law; In terms of grade, I am a second-grade order, and you are a common person. Shouldn't Miss Liu bow down when she sees me, the Liu family's tutor is really... Gee! ”
Liu Xiaozhen was reprimanded by Dong Rong with a gun and a stick, and her face turned red, and she clenched her fists with hatred, "You are just a lowly peasant girl, why should you let me see me?" You really think you've flown up the branches and become a phoenix, but you're actually a crow! ”
"Why? Just because I am the princess of the emperor's decree, oh, no, I will be the princess immediately. And you, it's just a 'lady show' who wants to be a concubine in every possible way and is still disliked by others, it's really pitiful. Don't talk about salutes in the future, if you don't kneel and kowtow to me, I'll look at your aunt's face. ”
"You... How dare you say it again, I'm going to... I want to..."Liu Xiaozhen was poked to death, and she was so angry that the green tendons on both sides of her forehead burst out.
Dong Rong scolded viciously, and felt much more comfortable, so she smiled and waved her hand, and responded, "I'm not your maid, why should I listen to your orders." Hurry up and go to the main courtyard to shoot the princess's ass, remember to cry elegantly, don't make my husband hate you even more! ”
With that, she continued to hurry slowly, leaving Liu Xiaozhen so angry that her face was deformed. However, Hongyu secretly felt that she was relieved of her hatred, and hoped that the new princess would turn her head back and scold for a few days and nights, and it would be better to anger her vicious master to death directly.
Yi Ba looked back and peeked as he walked, and at the end he smiled and whispered, "Madam is so powerful, she scolded Miss Liu so much that she couldn't raise her head, it's really painful." ”
Zizhu glared at her and said angrily, "You know that you join in the fun, and you don't protect Mrs. a little, what if she goes crazy and hurts Mrs.?" ”
"She dares!" Yiba glared and said angrily, "That day, she slapped the old princess in my mouth, if she just did it, I just had an excuse to beat her all over the ground to find teeth." ”
Dong Rong heard the two girls say funny, and the depression in her heart completely dissipated.
The three of them had just returned to Xuemei Xuan, and before they could finish drinking a cup of tea, they heard the direction of the main courtyard become noisy.
Dong Rong sat in front of the window and looked at it for a long time, and began to think about her child's father again, but now that she took care of herself, she gave him peace of mind, so she had to ask Wen Niang to bring back the linen clothes for everyone to change into, and she also changed into a set of moon-white shirts and skirts.
(This is to make up for last night's update, and I didn't finish writing until I was too sleepy in the early hours of the morning to fall asleep.) There is another shift in the afternoon, which is today. Everyone, wait a minute, sorry, hug, what! )R638
