Chapter 81: The Feast of the Prince's Mansion (2)
"Grandmother, it's time, grandson goes first. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
The old lady nodded, "Go ahead, don't let your second uncle and aunt wait for a long time." ”
Only then did Gu Xiao know Tang Jing's intention to let her change her clothes.
"Old lady, big lady, then Gu Xiao has also left!"
"Good boy, go ahead!"
The eldest lady wiped her head and nodded with a smile.
It wasn't until the backs of the two disappeared at the door that the old lady sighed faintly.
"Alas! This kid is good, but his identity is a little worse. ”
The eldest lady frowned, "Old lady, we are not those people who hate the poor and love the rich, why bother looking at the identity of other girls?" ”
The old lady shook her head, "Rou'er, I know what you want to say, but Jing'er is not an ordinary person after all, he is the heir of the future Guogong Mansion, and he needs someone to help him, that girl...... Can't do it! ”
The eldest lady disagreed, Tang Jing was already smart, and with the help of his sister and the outside family, the future road can be said to be promising.
The most rare thing is that her son finally fell in love with a girl, and it just so happened that this girl also won her heart.
"Xiaoxiao's child is smart and clever, and he has won Jing'er's heart, and the old lady also knows that Jing'er is a dead-eyed person, once he decides it, he is afraid that ten cows will not be able to pull it back, if he is allowed to marry someone else, he is only afraid that it will be difficult."
The old lady didn't know where to go, so she would allow Gu Xiao to stay by his side.
"I don't know what your mother and son mean for that child, and I am grateful to that girl, after all, if it weren't for her, I wouldn't be alive now, but ...... The Guogong Mansion is not as good as the original Tang Mansion, and many things have to be worried, if outsiders know that the eldest son of our dignified Guogong Mansion marries a lowly little girl as his wife, wouldn't it be ridiculous and generous? ”
She not only has to take care of her grandson's happiness, but also has to protect the reputation of the Tang family, and if she wants to have the best of both worlds, she can only wronged Gu Xiao to be a concubine.
"What does the old lady mean......" The eldest lady vaguely understood what she meant, but she was not sure.
The old lady looked at Mother Zhao on the side, and Mother Zhao understood, drove away the maid who was guarding the side, and thoughtfully closed the door for the two.
"I heard that the four princesses are good to our Jing'er, the two of them are half childhood sweethearts, I sent someone to inquire, the four princesses are not only good-looking, but also very proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, whether it is status, or character and appearance, they are very compatible with Jing'er."
The eldest lady was surprised, she didn't expect that the old lady had just been in Beijing for a few days, and she was so concerned about Tang Jing's affairs.
"Jing'er is twenty-one, it's a bit unreasonable not to marry a wife again, if your mother and son like that Gu girl, after Jing'er gets married, you will raise her as an aunt."
"Old lady, you also said that the fourth princess is half of Jing'er's childhood sweetheart, since he is a childhood sweetheart, if he had a heart, he would have married a long time ago, why wait until now?"
The eldest lady is different from the old lady, she believes in her son's vision.
She also knows her son's temperament very well, and if she likes it, she will definitely not wait until today.
The old lady was a little hesitant, but for the sake of Tang Jing and the Tang family, she spoke again: "This emotional matter is all about cultivation, maybe the two of them can fall in love for a long time?" ”
The eldest lady smiled when she heard this, "Look at what you said, you also know that feelings all depend on cultivation, and the fourth princess and Jing'er have known each other for many years and can't cultivate feelings, so what?" ”
The old lady thought about it for a while, and felt justified, so she had to sigh.
"That's it, let's not mention this matter for the time being, let's talk about it first, how are you preparing for the banquet?"
The eldest lady was a little embarrassed, "Old lady, you also know that this kind of thing is usually prepared by the lord or you, but now the lord is busy with the affairs of the court, and now it is lost to me, how can I finish it in a short time?" ”
"Alas, now that I'm old, even if I have the heart, I can't do it! If you don't understand, just ask me. ”
"Okay, then I'll go and prepare first, it's cold outside, you pay more attention to your body."
"I'll rest for a while, and when your second brother and them come back, you'll come with them."
The eldest lady nodded, got up and walked out of the door, leaving with Hong Ling and Hong Luo.
"Madam, how did you hear that you and the old lady were talking about the eldest prince and Miss Gu?" Hong Luo helped the eldest lady and asked in a low voice.
Hong Ling was also very curious, although she didn't know Gu Xiao early on like Hong Luo, but judging from the eldest lady's attitude towards Gu Xiao, she also knew that she liked Gu Xiao very much.
"Alas, you also know that the old lady has always had her own opinions, where is it so easy to let go."
Since she heard her son say that she was with that Xiaoxiao girl, she tried her best to make the old lady relax and agree to let Gu Xiao enter the door.
It's a pity that the old lady has too many worries and has always refused to agree to Gu Xiao as his wife, and her son also said that she will only marry Xiaoxiao alone in this life, and she doesn't want to wronged Gu Xiao, so she can only spend it with the old lady.
"Madame doesn't have to worry, Miss Gu is kind-hearted, dexterous, and looks good, the old lady will agree one day."
"I hope so!"
The eldest lady sighed lightly, she didn't ask for anything else in her life, just that her son could live a better life.
"How did you discuss the banquet?"
Hong Luo and Hong Ling glanced at each other, and both of them looked at her with embarrassed faces.
"Madam, where do the slaves and maidservants do this?"
They are just maids, where do they know how to handle this kind of thing, isn't Madame embarrassing them?
"Forget it, I knew I couldn't count on you, so it's better to ask Xiaoxiao than to ask you."
Hong Ling and Hong Luo smiled helplessly, and since Mrs. met Miss Gu, she opened and closed her mouth to be Xiaoxiao.
In the past, when she saw the eldest prince go to her yard, she happily asked this and that.
Now, if the eldest prince goes to her yard alone, she will always talk for a long time, what to say, and she won't bring Xiaoxiao with her when she comes, what are you doing here by yourself?
often made the eldest prince cry and laugh, and said that he was not born to his wife.
"The slave maid found that since she met Miss Gu, the eldest son's temperament seems to be much gentler."
At least now when I see them, I will also greet them with my head, and in the past, I walked directly without looking at them.
The eldest lady nodded, "Yes, Jing'er's child's temperament has indeed been much better recently, and he was very alienated even when he saw me before, but now he is much more humane." ”
When Hong Luo and Hong Ling heard this, they couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Don't laugh, I think Xiaoxiao's child is very good, she not only knows how to please people, but also has good cooking skills, and most importantly, she can also melt my iceberg son into water, what a good girl, it is Jing'er's blessing to meet her."
"Yes, the slaves and maids know that Miss Gu is very good!"
The eldest lady raised her chin proudly and smiled so much that she couldn't see her teeth, as if it was not Gu Xiao who was praising her.
