After Wu left, Xia Chu and Xia Bangqiu still had to learn from Mr.

Luo Ziqian's face was thoughtful.

Mama Gu has always understood her mind and knows that she has a grudge against the Wu family's daughter's draft.

The Xia family is unwilling to get involved with the royal family.

If Wu Qingyun really chooses the imperial concubine, even if it is just a side concubine, no matter how the Xia family leaves, it is also a family that is related to the prince's family, and it is natural that they are on the side of a certain prince.

This is by no means the situation that the Xia family wants to see.

In particular, the Xia family does not touch the royal family, it was Luo Ziqian who proposed it, and the old man Xia agreed.

"Old lady," Mama Gu called out again and again, seeing Luo Ziqian looking up, she didn't seem to be displeased, so she said with some apprehension: "It's better to let the uncle operate...... so that the eldest lady of the Wu family loses the election."

"No need," Luo Ziqian shook his head, if he really wanted to do this, it would seem a little too deliberate, so that the emperor could see it, wouldn't it look like the Xia family was dissatisfied with the prince? No matter how bad his son is, he can't tolerate the contempt of others, not to mention that person is the emperor. "If she can choose, let her go, why bother to be this wicked person."

The Wu family thought it was very beautiful, but they didn't look at Wu Qingyun's qualifications. When she was young, she had also entered the palace a few times because of Old Man Xia, and she had seen the current queen mother, she was not a fool.

Choosing a concubine for the prince, one looks at the family background, and the other looks at the personality. What does Wu Qingyun have? Although she is a little eccentric, not as arrogant and arrogant as before, but some of her thoughts are too dark, although she hides it well, there is never a shortage of people in the palace.

Especially when she tried to calculate Xia Xue twice, the gloom on her face could almost drip water, and the impetuousness in her heart was almost difficult to hide.

"But what if ...... is chosen?"

No one can guarantee that everything is foolproof.

Mama Gu didn't dare to gossip in the palace, she was a slave and maid, she was born inferior, what kind of place the palace was, it was definitely not her who dared to chew her tongue.

"What does that have to do with my Xia family?" Luo Ziqian waved his hand to stop her from continuing: "The Holy Lord's intention is obvious, she has no chance. "Of course, this draft has the meaning of choosing a backstage for the prince, but today it will not tolerate others coveting their authority, even if that person is their son.

No matter how much the pros and cons are weighed, it will not be Wu Qingyun's turn.

After that, a trace of sarcasm flashed in Luo Ziqian's eyes, she didn't understand the emperor's mental tricks, but she had seen it.

For the sake of the stability of his country, that man can live up to his wife, give up his sons-in-law, and treat them as chess pieces, but those who are not tall can be favored by him.

In her previous life, she couldn't look at it as indifferently as Xia Chu, she had resentment in her heart. In this case, why did she enter the palace, she could marry a man who didn't dare to bear her as a wife, and she could live freely for the rest of her life, but it was a holy decree from that man that restrained her in the backyard of the deep palace from then on.

If it weren't for Xia Chu, she thought, she would hate that court even more.

Sometimes she thinks that she and Xia Chu are 'dependent on each other', but more often, she depends on her. The calmness and calmness of the queen's mother were like a needle that fixed the sea, calming the turbulence in her heart.

She didn't want to accept her fate, and she didn't want to become such a bitter woman, even if she suppressed the resentment in her heart, there was nowhere to vent, but it made her extremely uncomfortable.

Mama Gu nodded yes.

The master has always been far-sighted, she has seen all the way over the years, even if she was puzzled at first, but what happened later made her breathtaking. As a woman, the master actually doesn't lose to any man, even the deceased old lady, not just because this daughter-in-law got a little benefit?

The Xia family can have such a family business as it is now, who knows, in fact, it is all the credit of the old lady?

Now the old lady says the same thing at home, even the old man will not disobey her wishes, everything goes according to her, one is to treat her affectionately, and the other is because the old lady has never missed a step!

In the past few years, the young masters have grown up, and the old lady has become more relaxed, and there is a sensible third lady raised under her knees, which can make her laugh - Gu Mama also suspected the old lady's intention to raise the third lady, but then she gradually discovered that the old lady in front of the third lady was something she had never seen before.

As if he had unloaded some burden, he was so relaxed and unconcealed, because he trusted Miss San, right?

"Yan Hong, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, we are all old!" Luo Ziqian only needs to look at it to know the thoughts of this Gu Mama, who has been with him for most of his life. Although she is not a friendship with herself since childhood, but as a maid, she has followed herself from the beginning of her anger to the future, never complained, nor has she ever been arrogant because of her power, she has always been very satisfied with her, secretly thought about it, and asked: "Your great-grandson is not young, right?" ”

"Back to the old lady, the eldest one is already six years old, and the younger one is four years old." Mama Gu replied respectfully.

Luo Ziqian was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but sigh: "The days go by so fast!" ”

I think that as soon as she opened her eyes when she first came, she heard Gu Yanhong crying with joy and congratulations, saying that she was pregnant, and she finally saw the moon and the moon, and there was hope for her life. It is from these words that we can know what kind of life she lived as a daughter-in-law back then!

She was scared half to death when she first came, and this kind of thing happened to her, how could she not be afraid? After a long period of ignorance, her belly was as big as a day, and she vaguely had the consciousness of being a mother. Luo Ziqian has never been pregnant, and this feeling is very novel, and it just so happens that Liu is also pregnant for the first time, and her performance has not shown flaws.

At that time, she was immersed in the joy of being a first-time mother, and it was not until soon after the full confinement that Xia Hui was about to move back to sleep with her, that she suddenly remembered that she had a husband......

At that time, I was really stupid enough.

It is absolutely unacceptable for two people to get along, and for her it is still a strange man, and to sleep in the same bed, which is absolutely unacceptable, so she found an excuse to let him live in the study for two months, and when even her mother-in-law began to ask, she had to accept this reality.

How many years of running-in can we have today?

With her stubborn temper, she would never be willing to let her go to Xiao Fu Low to cater to a stinky man. If it weren't for the fact that he still had some friendship with the original owner, she might have obeyed her mother-in-law's wishes and invited herself to go down to the court!

But it didn't come that far.

When her mother-in-law forced Xia Hui to take a concubine, and when she pressed him to share a room with two concubines with filial piety, she was not uncomfortable in her heart.

It was only then that she understood that no wife in this world would be willing to see her husband take a concubine and have a room, even if she was educated with three wives and four concubines since she was a child, even if she was ...... That person was the Queen.

At the beginning of the summer, he was in that position as a last resort, but later, he was cold and didn't care.

Fortunately, the Wei family is honest, and the Shen family is useless.

Poor Wei went early, leaving Xia Qing behind.

"Old lady?" Mama Gu's voice came into her ears, and Luo Ziqian suddenly came back to her senses, and saw her with a concerned face: "But I'm tired, why don't you go back to the house and rest?" ”

When people get old, they always like to think of old things, she shook her head and said, "It's nothing, it's just that I remember some things." ”

What's up? Mama Gu wanted to ask, but seeing that she didn't want to say more, she didn't open her mouth.

The years are ruthless, but people are affectionate.

**

The show girls who entered the palace returned home one after another, until the last batch was sent out of the palace, and there were only five or six people.

And the prince who has reached the age is just this number.

Each family naturally knows that their girl has been chosen, but they don't know which prince they are worthy.

Since he was selected, he naturally hoped to pick someone who could have real power and had a strong enough background from his grandfather's family. Among them, there are two princes born of palace women, even though the royal status is impeccable, but they really become their own sons-in-law, but it is also difficult.

It's just that the emperor won't put his son out for the king to choose, and they can only accept their fate.

Wu Qingyun was the first batch to go home, and although the Wu family never complained about such a result, she also felt that her grandmother and father were disappointed in her, and her mother was still as good to her as ever.

She herself was a little uncomfortable.

I've tried very hard to show it, but the mother doesn't seem to see her at all! All of their eyes swirled around the high-ranking women of their fathers and brothers in the family, and it was her turn to just go through the motions!

In a place like the palace, no matter how much she has a plan in her heart, she can't show it to these palace concubines!

The result can only be disappointed!

The holy decrees were promulgated one by one, the dust settled on the candidates for several princesses, and the craze set off by the draft in the capital finally faded along with the autumn sun.

On the day of Qixi Festival, Xia Mansion did not have a good holiday, first came the news that Xia Xiu was married in Jiangyin, the old man Xia was unhappy for a whole day, and then Xia Xue started the night before, and the big house Wu didn't even have time to clean up, so he panicked and followed the Liu family to report the news, or a morning Luo Ziqian learned the news and asked people to send something over.

At noon, I heard that when the sun was high, Xia Xue gave birth to a sister who was carved in pink and jade.

Because she was born on the Qiao Festival, everyone said that it was the Qiao sister who was the Weaver Girl, so she took the name of Qiao Sister.

On the same day, I listened to Xia Bangqiu muttering about 'Sister Qiao'er', 'Wang Xifeng' and 'Jia Baoyu of the Red Mansion', and they all sounded like names, but I didn't know what they meant.

Although she is just a girl, Liufu is very happy, and the full moon is very big. Xia Chu and Xia Bangqiu also went to participate with Wu's Xiao Wu and Mei's, and Xia Chu also brought a congratulatory gift from his father and mother from Jiangyin. Xia Xue is their niece, such a happy event, of course, they have to pay tribute.

Confinement in summer is the most difficult, the summer snow is hot and sweaty, but the house does not dare to put an ice basin, for fear that the confinement will not sit well and spoil the body. Fortunately, she was born very smoothly in this birth, her body is good, she is also very energetic, and she has gained some weight, and she looks more noble than before.

Wu Qingyun also came to Xia Xue's house that day, and she came with the Zhou family to watch the ceremony, smiling on her face, but her eyes were quenched with poison.

This kind of bitter hatred is terrifying.

It's just that everyone's attention was not on her at that time, even Xia Bangqiu didn't notice it. No one would have thought that she would show such a look in front of the public.

If the beginning of summer hadn't been sensitive to people's eyes, he probably wouldn't have noticed.

She didn't mention it to Xia Xue, there was no evidence, but what she said was to sow discord. Xia Xue was a little wary of Wu Qingyun because she trusted Luo Ziqian, but she had never really seen it after all, and she was always suspicious.

Sister Qiao's child was born very well, taking advantage of her parents, and she was only a few months old when she was already delicate and meticulous, and she must be a sign of the villain when she grows up.

This year, Chongyang passed again, and at the beginning of the summer, he did not climb high with his uncle to look into the distance, but stayed in his own yard to enjoy the chrysanthemums.

The large golden chrysanthemums bloomed brilliantly, reminding her of the person who had climbed high and looked at it with her.

Even though the years have passed, some memories remain fresh.

still remembers that when she was newly married, she was just as shy and timid. That man was tall and handsome, really like a Zhilan jade tree, if he said that he was not moved, he was just deceiving himself.

Newly married Yan'er, he also painted her eyebrows and spoke heartily for her.

It's a pity that after all, it's just a mirror, and it's like a dream.

"Third sister." The crisp child's voice disrupted her troubled thoughts, the sorrow on her face faded, and when she turned her head, she saw the pink boy running towards her happily, and in the distance, there was still a young man in a dark robe.

He looked at them, unable to see his eyebrows clearly, and she swept them lightly, her eyebrows slightly raised.

How did they get here?

"Brother Yu," Xia Chu stretched out his hand to take him, took out a handkerchief and wiped his face for him: "Why are you running in such a hurry?" ”

Song Yu didn't answer, but looked at her curiously and asked, "Third sister, what are you looking at?" ”

Why...... It was so attentive and silent.

He was still young and didn't know that there was an emotion in the world called sadness.

"Nothing, just a few things that came to mind." She smiled and said, her eyebrows and eyes crooked, with affection: "Why are you here?" ”

He was only nine years old at the time, and a half-grown child still had the right to be willful, and although his cousin advised him not to come, he still came.

Just because I wanted to see her.

Don't think that because he's young, he doesn't understand anything. He only knew that there were so many girls, he only liked the third sister of the Xia family, she was not as noisy and shy as other girls, her expression was always very gentle and peaceful, and that gaze made him happy.

The little boy woke up one day from a nightmare that made him cry. There is no third sister in the dream, the girl with a very nice and warm voice seems to have a power that can soothe people's hearts.

Because he likes it, it's easy to remember, even if it's been a long time, just from a distance, he can still see her at a glance.

Only she is different. (To be continued.) )
