Chapter 176: Crossfire
Although he was assured by the Duchess of Dingguo, the Duke of Dingguo, who regarded Wang Siye as his best friend and Aze's father-in-law, did not dare to completely count on his wife.
He was afraid that his wife would make trouble again and make things unmanageable.
Fortunately, Aze has a girl who can be taken to heart, and Dingguo Gong is happy to hear about it.
Gu Tianze has a favorite person, he will act more cautiously, and he will stay away from the palace.
Every time Dingguo Gong saw his son getting along with Emperor Qianyuan, he felt frightened, in his opinion, Aze was too bold, and the calm Wang Zhiyao reminded him that Aze would be more respectful in the face of the emperor and the prince.
So, Dingguo Gong worked hard to prepare a gift for Wang Yixin.
The Duchess of Dingguo watched from the sidelines and sneered silently.
Before the apprenticeship, the Duchess of Dingguo was dressed in a full set of Duchess makeup, with a cart of generous gifts, holding a painting with the inscription of Emperor Qianyuan, and let the eldest princess accompany her to go to Wenzhengbo's mansion.
The posture of apology is full, and in Wang Zhiyao's opinion, wealth is compelling.
Although in the Earl's Palace, the Duchess of Dingguo was very polite to Wang Zhiyao, and praised Wang Zhiyao in front of the Jiang family several times, but her condescending coldness seemed very insincere.
The eldest princess followed the Duchess of Dingguo step by step, and rarely spoke, but she was quite similar to the Duchess of Dingguo, like the flower of Gaoling, like Wang Zhiyao and other mortals could only avoid its edge.
"The front flip and the Jade County Lord couldn't figure it out for a while, thanks to Ling Ai's persuasion."
"It's just a coincidence."
Jiang didn't like the Duchess of Dingguo very much, and replied lightly: "You don't blame her for being nosy, you don't need to come to the door in person." ”
"Lord Wang left this painting behind, how can I not go there myself?"
The corners of the Duchess Dingguo's mouth were hooked. "By the way, I can congratulate Madame Chiang on the reunion of her family. Moved into the Earl's Court. This mansion has been built long enough. I don't know if Mrs. Jiang is used to living there? ”
"It's fine." Jiang said with a smile: "Since I returned to the capital, I have either lived in Bofu or Houfu. On the contrary, I miss the time in the Northwest even more...... I remember that my Jiang family had a manor. ”
Although the northwest is bitterly cold, it is not as rich as the capital, but Jiang Dayong was known as the king of the northwest before entering Beijing.
The Chiang family has the status of the first noble lady in the northwest.
After returning to Beijing, although he was deceived by Wang Yixin and others for more than ten years, the Jiang family has always enjoyed great wealth.
The maiden home of the Duchess of Dingguo...... It can't be compared with the Jiang family at all.
Wang Zhiyao lowered her head slowly, her grandfather was really powerful. Jiang also understands the essence of fighting father, the Duchess of Dingguo died early, she has been attached to her clan uncle with her mother, who will take her seriously before leaving the cabinet?
Although she married into the Dingguo Mansion and became a dignified Duchess of Dingguo, she couldn't change the fact that her mother's family was not powerful.
Not to mention the Wen Zhengbo Mansion, which is now underestimated by her, the Duchess of Dingguo is afraid that she has not even been to the noble family a few times before leaving the cabinet.
Does she still want to be richer than the Jiang family?
The Duchess of Dingguo twisted her handkerchief, "Mrs. Jiang is very wanton in the northwest. ”
Wang Zhiyao said before Jiang Shi spoke: "My mother prefers the capital, and the capital has made my father and mother a good relationship." ”
Do you want the emperor to suspect that the Jiang family is worried about the northwest as king?
The Duchess of Dingguo is too bad.
Jiang glanced at Wang Zhiyao with disgust, "Duchess Dingguo smiled." ”
"Love is quite lively."
"You've won a prize."
Wang Zhiyao bowed her head as if she was shy, and received the praise of the Duchess of Dingguo. "I don't dare to do it."
Didn't praise you!
The Duchess of Dingguo held her breath, she had never seen a thick-skinned and stupid lady. "A few days ago, I heard a message about Madame Jiang's concubine......"
"I don't have a concubine, I'm afraid the Duchess is mistaken."
The Jiang family would never let Wang Duanhan's brother and sister enter the Earl's Mansion again, she was afraid that Wang Yixin would be soft-hearted, and she was also afraid that the two of them would destroy her happy love.
"Even if they go out of the way, after all, they are the blood of Lord Wang, and Madame Jiang has always loved Lord Wang very much, so she saw that the former concubine had a hard time?"
"I can't compare to the heart of the Duchess of the country, and I can choose the county lord for the concubines, since they are not in the name of the fourth master, I ...... I can't manage other people's homes, and I'm not as good as you at all. ”
Jiang's voice was cold, "It is difficult for a Qing official to decide family affairs, and it is not enough to talk to outsiders about the merits." ”
The Duchess of Dingguo is just an outsider, why do you say three or four in this matter?
There is a sense of grievance for the concubine in the speech.
Jiang Shi glanced at Wang Zhiyao, "I am already ashamed of my own children, and I really don't have the heart to take care of my concubine." You are also a mother, and you are also the same as Dingguo Gongqin Se and Ming, not the meat that fell from your body, no matter how painful it is, it is limited. ”
"That's not necessarily, it's your son who is raised by your side." As soon as the Duchess of Dingguo loosened her fingers on the lid of the teacup, the lid of the teacup fell on the teacup, and the crisp sound of impact was like her words.
"But the fifth cousin and cousin Han are not raised in front of my mother, unlike you who raised your concubine, the fifth cousin was raised by Aunt Yin, and the cousin has always been by my grandfather and grandmother's side, they have not a deep relationship with my mother, and they are not as filial to you as the fourth young master."
Wang Zhiyao replied: "Besides, the way of hurting people is different. You have found a good family affair for the fourth young master, and hired the lord of the jade county, you originally had good intentions, but unfortunately the emperor happened to cut off the prince of the father of the lord of the jade county, according to what you said, the blood and family relationship is not easy to cut off, can the lord of the jade county be happy in his heart? Even if she is a childhood sweetheart with the fourth young master, grateful for your kindness, I am afraid that there will be some pimples in my heart, if you cherish the lord of Heyu, it is better to take more effort to relieve her, you are very face-saving in front of the emperor, for the sake of the fourth young master and the lord of Yujun after marriage and beauty, why not plead with the emperor, even if the lord cannot be recovered, you can also make the father of the lord of Yujun live a more decent life. ”
Duchess Dingguo's eyes were cold, "Do you think I'm nosy?" ”
"No, I ...... I want you to be so busy, and I'm worried about my mother, I'm afraid of delaying your business. ”
"You know what? And the matter of the Jade County Lord, you don't understand it at all. ”
"Ahem."
The eldest princess suddenly coughed twice, reminding the Duchess of Dingguo that there was a loophole in her words, "Miss Wang, my mother also has good intentions. ”
"Naturally, I know the kindness of Madame Lu Dao. I really don't understand what happened between the Jade County Lord and the Fourth Young Master. Wang Zhiyao said generously: "So I rarely get involved in other people's family affairs." Nor will they be biased in their beliefs. The five cousins have already passed away. Being close to my parents all the time will make their lives on the side of my parents even harder. My mother also asked less about their affairs for their good. ”
The Duchess of Dingguo was pale, and the eldest princess said in her heart, sure enough, Wang Zhiyao is not easy to mess with, looking steady and not good at words, in fact, she can say it better than anyone else.
"Princess Ben thinks the royal family won't mind if they are close to you."
"Her Royal Highness the Princess is noble. However, you don't know that after the Lang evil Wang family, the Wang family attaches more importance to the concubine than any other family, and cannot delay the future of the outstanding concubine, so there is a succession to say that they can only be born and raised by the official slave when they stay with my father, and they can be recognized as concubines when they go to the long house, and their status is much more valuable. ”
The royal genealogy can't catch up with the Wang family at all, and the heavenly family is also the least disciplined.
However, Wang Zhiyao was ashamed to say that the Wang family attaches great importance to her concubine, which also shows that she is very thick-skinned.
The eldest princess looked at Wang Zhiyao carefully, if she was her future concubine. With her unwilling temperament, she may stir up trouble in the Guogong Mansion.
"That being said. Now that the royal family has lost the status of patriarch, and life is not good, Mrs. Jiang doesn't want to take them back? ”
"Wealth and nobility can't be lewd, mighty can't be bent, and going back on their word is not the work of the Lei Lei clan."
“……”
At this time, not only the eldest princess, but also the Jiang family and the Duchess of Dingguo couldn't help but secretly sigh at Wang Zhiyao's 'integrity'.
Who wouldn't?
Wang Zhiyao said with a straight face: "Her Royal Highness the princess underestimated them, and also underestimated my father. Once you have chosen the path, no matter how difficult it is, you have to go on. Since the Duchess has heard about Cousin Han, I think you also know Cousin Han's talent, he missed this township test, and after three years of hard work, Cousin Han Xu is the title of the gold list, soaring to the sky. There is a good saying, don't bully young people into poverty. ”
“…… Once he is in high school, Madame Chiang is not afraid? ”
"My mother is not a person with a small belly, she will only be happy for Cousin Han." Wang Zhiyao smiled and squinted her eyes, "What's more, my mother and my brother." ”
Who will go to high school, obviously.
Wang Zhiyao means that she is afraid that her concubine will come out, so she desperately kills her concubine?
The Duchess of Dingguo is like swallowing a fly, she is very uncomfortable, she has four sons, the eldest son is the lord, the second son is also the lord, the third son Gu Tianze is favored by the emperor, and the youngest son is also very smart, will she be afraid of the concubine?
Duchess Dingguo's eyes changed, and she said: "Nine times out of ten, the person is not satisfactory, and the words must not be too full, and no one knows what changes will be made in the future." ”
Is this a warning?
Wang Zhiyao cheered up and said, "You are right. ”
Jiang didn't want to be too stiff, so he chatted with the Duchess of Dingguo.
After sitting for a while, the Duchess of Dingguo led the eldest princess to say goodbye, and after the Jiang family sent them away, she pulled Wang Zhiyao and said, "Be careful, I don't think she is well-intentioned." ”
"Mother......
"Yao'er doesn't have to offend her for me, and it won't hurt me to be said by others."
"But I can't tolerate them despising you."
Wang Zhiyao said: "It's not you who came up with the person who succeeded them, why should you bear the infamy?" Originally, they wanted to be the grandson of the patriarch of the Changfang, but now they pretend to be wronged and pretend to be driven out of the palace by their mother-in-law...... It's late. ”
"Yao'er ......"
"Mother, let my father come forward in this matter."
"I'm afraid that the fourth master will be embarrassed."
"He's my mother's husband, can't solve this thing? Seeing that you have been wronged, dare to say that he loves you? ”
Wang Zhiyao raised her eyebrows, a few days ago, Wang Yixin said something to her about a wife, "Mother, don't underestimate your father." ”
"I'll talk to him about ......" Jiang sighed silently, he really didn't want to mention Wang Zhixuan's brothers and sisters in front of Wang Yixin.
Will the fourth master be soft-hearted?
Wang Zhiyao said: "No." ”
It is impossible for Wang Yixin to do anything for Wang Zhixuan anymore.
In the carriage, the eldest princess asked worriedly, "Mother, are you not feeling well?" ”
Duchess Dingguo slowly closed her eyes, "She looks down on her concubine, and she is good friends with Lord Yujun, I think she is quite suitable to be the fourth 'noble concubine'." ”
ps try to update in the evening, if not, it's that I'm too busy, sorry, it's been a busy week. (To be continued......)
