Chapter 17

In the Rong'an Hall, the old lady sent An's granddaughter and grandson to the future, leaving the four daughters-in-law to speak.

"Which families have the eldest princesses invited to the princess's mansion recently?" The old lady touched the Buddhist beads in her hand and asked.

Mrs. Weiyuan Hou replied: "There are Lord Liu's daughter, the lord of Pingwang's Mansion Lening, the third lady of the British Mansion, the daughter of the commander of the soldiers and horses of the five cities, and the girl of Ming Jin. As she spoke, she couldn't help but smile again, "Mingjin girl seems to be quite attractive to the eldest princess of Changping, and every time the eldest princess asks her to come over to the house to play, she will always give her something different." ”

The second lady smiled and said: "Isn't it, the eldest princess also asked someone to send a bottle of Hundred Flowers Jade Dew Pill to Ming Jin the day before yesterday, Ming Jin, this girl has a heart, and she gave it to us." ”

Hearing the "Hundred Flowers Jade Dew Pill", the women present all showed envious and happy expressions. Baihua Yulu Pill is a beauty medicine developed by the Tai Hospital, I heard that the manufacturing process is complicated, the medicine is expensive, and it can not be made more, and it is generally only supplied to a few nobles in the palace, and even a few princesses want it, and they have to ask the queen mother. The eldest princess of Changping is the sister of the current emperor, and she has a very good relationship with the saint, but I heard that she only got a bottle of Hundred Flowers Jade Dew Pill, so she was willing to give it directly to a little girl.

Of course, when Ah Bao received the Hundred Flowers Jade Dew Pill, he bottled it separately. There were nine pills in a bottle of Baihua Yulu Pill, three pills were given to the old lady, two pills each for Mrs. Weiyuanhou and the second lady, one pill for each of the third lady and the fifth lady, and I didn't keep one for myself.

The third lady said with some concern: "Although the eldest princess loves Mingjin well, it's not good to be so much......" I was a little jealous in my heart, her bright moon looked like a flower and a moon, and she obviously went to enjoy the flowers with her that day, but why didn't she enter the eyes of the eldest princess? Or did the long house and the second room give Ming Jin the opportunity at that time?

The fifth lady glanced at her and said with a smile: "The third sister-in-law is too careful, I heard that the daughters of several other families have the same eye as the eldest princess, and they often ask them to go to the princess's mansion to play with the lord of Qingning." However, it is still the Ming Jin girl who is angry, as soon as she returns to Beijing, she will be able to get the eyes of the nobles, and there is no need to worry about marriage in the future. ”

The third lady glanced at her hatefully, feeling that she was burying herself, "Fifth brother and sister, the fourth brother is now in a high position, and Ming Jin, as the only daughter of the fourth brother, will not be bad." ”

Listening to the two of you coming and going, the old lady was a little annoyed and said: "Okay, you just stop talking, you are all adults, and you are still blushing for little things like children." ”

The two hurriedly shut down, and answered the old lady with low eyebrows.

Mrs. Weiyuanhou and the second lady watched from the wall when they began to pinch each other, especially when the topic of these two people was related to Li Jiyao, they understood that this fourth uncle was the forbidden place in the old lady's heart, and they didn't want to get involved. Of course, the reason why the old lady relies more on the eldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law is not only because they are the daughters-in-law of their own sons, but also because they know the general situation, unlike the other two who always sharpen their heads and want to show something.

It seems that because of the mention of Li Jiyao, the old lady was not in a good mood, and her voice was a little gloomy, and she said: "Old man, you say, the eldest princess of Changping may have taken a fancy to Mingjin?" ”

Mrs. Weiyuanhou smiled and said: "Maybe yes, the eldest princess of Changping did reveal her meaning to me that day, but this matter has not been put on the surface, and there is no fixed number, and the daughter-in-law thinks that it is better to ignore it first." ”

The old lady exhaled and nodded, "It should be so." Zhou Yuyi is a talent, humble and humble, quite praised, and his future is limitless. With Ming Jin, it also deserves it. "If the Marquis of Weiyuan Mansion can catch the line of the eldest princess of Changping, it will be harmless to the Marquis of Weiyuan. This also saves her from worrying about her granddaughter's lifelong events, which can be regarded as an explanation for her youngest son.

The second lady also showed a happy expression on her face, her Mingfeng had already made a marriage, and there was only one concubine Mingshuang by her side, so naturally she couldn't go past Bao, and she was not sad that her niece could have a good marriage. However, the third lady and the fifth lady were a little angry and helpless. Zhou Yu is talented, good-looking, and has a family background, and is humble and courteous, gentle and considerate, he is indeed a good husband candidate, which mother wants to marry her daughter to such an excellent man, but it is a pity that they do not have a husband who has made meritorious contributions at the border, and her daughter cannot enter the eyes of the princess. In the final analysis, Ah Bao was able to enter the eyes of the eldest princess of Changping, but it was only because of Li Jiyao's military exploits.

However, the old lady's joy lasted only one day, and early the next morning, the Marquis of Weiyuan received several letters sent back from the border.

"Mother, the fourth brother has a letter. Early this morning, the letter arrived, and there were several of them. Mrs. Weiyuan Hou held a few letters in her hand, "The fourth brother has a heart, and he has sent back several letters in a row, not only to his mother, but also to the master and several uncles, well, there is also one here for Ming Jin." ”

The old lady happily took the letter from her daughter-in-law's hand, and said happily: "This evil obstacle still has a conscience!" ”

Ah Bao was also happy, and respectfully took the letter sent to her by her father from Mrs. Weiyuanhou, and I don't know if my father would have eaten only meat and not vegetables without her advice, and often beat and injured the guards in informality, and then lay down on the bed and died without treatment...... I don't know if there are so many problems with men, and they can't be corrected for a few years, and if she doesn't stare at it, the problems will come up.

"This Evil Obstacle !!"

Suddenly, an angry scolding pulled Ah Bao's thinking back, and he saw the old lady sitting in the top position with an angry face, so angry that her face was red, and everyone was scared, and the girls of the Ming generation were a little panicked, I don't know why the old lady was so angry.

Mrs. Weiyuanhou and the others were also startled, obviously the old lady was still reading the letter with a happy face before, but now she was angry, and her intuition must be that Li Jiyao, who was still guilty of middle school and second disease, said something in the letter that made the old lady angry.

"Mother, don't be angry first, lest you get angry and hurt your body."

Several ladies stepped forward to be relieved, and when they saw that the old lady was still out of breath, they knew that this time was not trivial. Mrs. Weiyuanhou hinted very vividly that the little girl of the Mingzi generation present left, although Ah Bao wanted to know what "good" things his father had done, but the old lady's face was really terrifying now, and it was not easy to stay, so she had to leave Rong'an Hall with a few younger sisters full of doubts.

Li Mingfeng and Li Mingyi walked on either side of Po respectively, both looking at Po worriedly.

Every time the fourth uncle did something to make his grandmother angry, Ah Bao would always be treated coldly by his grandmother, and even angry. They think Ah Bao is quite innocent, this time the grandmother is so angry, and they don't know if Ah Bao will be implicated again.

Ah Bao smiled at them, and said while holding the hands of the two of them: "Yesterday, the eldest princess gave me some good tea, you can also go and taste it." ”

The two girls smiled and went with Po.

*****

After the little girls left, the old lady finally couldn't stand the anger, beat her chest and scolded: "That evil obstacle, am I unwilling to die if I am not angry?" Thinking that everyone wants to be like him, he can even make such a ridiculous request, does he want his daughter to be unable to marry for the rest of his life? ! There is no girl in my Weiyuan Marquis Mansion who can't marry Lu, if it doesn't work, just let her go to the temple to be a sister-in-law......"

Hearing this, everyone was shocked. Mrs. Weiyuanhou and the second lady were busy soothing her chest, the third lady and the fourth lady were busy looking for tea, and in addition to her mother, she was also in a hurry to get the meditation pill.

After a while, the old lady took a meditation pill, leaned on the big pillow weakly, and said to the eldest daughter-in-law: "You tell the eldest that no matter what the fourth child asks in the letter, don't pay attention to him, and forget it when he dies!" And a few of you are the same, tell the truth about my words, the second, third, and fifth. ”

Mrs. Weiyuanhou persuaded: "Mother, you dissipate your anger, the fourth brother is a reasonable and filial person, maybe you misunderstood him." Since I haven't read the letter, Mrs. Weiyuan Hou doesn't know what Lu Dao said in the letter, according to Li Jiyao's urine, it is not certain that he may really do something shocking. I know in my heart, but I can't say anything wrong in front of the old lady, and the mother can scold her son, but she can't be scolded by others.

The old lady waved her hand weakly and handed her the letter that had been crumpled by her anger, "You can see for yourself." ”

Mrs. Weiyuanhou spread it out and looked at it with questions, and when she saw a certain place, her face also stiffened.

What is "my son Bao's husband, I can only marry her in this life, if there are other concubines, they can't be a good match for Bao!" I hope that my mother will pity Ah Bao for losing her mother since she was a child, and choose an innocent and clean husband for her...... "Is it true that a man has a concubine who has a concubine, but he is not clean?"

Mrs. Wei Yuanhou couldn't understand this uncle's thoughts for a while, and felt a deep generation gap.

Not only did Mrs. Weiyuan Marquis not understand, but when the four masters of Weiyuan Marquis Mansion came back, they all read the letter sent back by Li Jiyao, and they also felt that they couldn't understand how the head of the fourth brother (fourth brother) was long, and why they could always make some requests that made people cry and laugh.

Several old men gathered in the study of Weiyuan Marquis, read each other's letters, and found that in addition to the different titles, the content of the letters was the same, even the sentence "My son Bao's husband, I can only marry her alone in this life, if there are other concubines, they can't be a good match for Bao!" I hope that my mother (eldest brother/second brother/third brother/fifth brother) will pity Ah Bao for losing her mother since she was a child, and choose an innocent and clean husband for her......"

Several old men laughed and laughed, but the second old man patted the table and smiled: "Sure enough, there is the style of the fourth brother!" Hey, does Zhou Yu have a roommate? At the end, he didn't forget to ask narrowly.

Wei Yuanhou sneered: "It is right for a man to have three wives and four concubines, although there are also people with only one wife, but there are a lot of intercourse in secret, how can all men be guilty of such a dementia with him?" Don't pay attention to him, Zhou Yu is good-looking, and he is really a good match for Ming Jin. ”

The third master and the fifth master looked at each other, and it was difficult to publish anything. In fact, they feel that since Li Jiyao made that oath in front of his deceased wife's tablet, they have not been able to understand his strange thoughts. He is not harsh to himself, but he will also care about his son-in-law at this time, according to his harsh requirements, I am afraid that his daughter will not be able to marry for the rest of her life.

"Big brother, if you don't listen to him, I'm worried that the fourth brother will make trouble......" The second master knew this brother best, and sighed: "I'm afraid that he will write directly to the imperial case and ask the emperor to make decisions for him." ”

Suddenly, the big man present looked ugly as if he had eaten something.
