168 On the reward of meritorious deeds (4)

"This is the mother's good daughter, come, sit down and talk with the mother. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" affectionately pulled Liang Mingzhu to sit down, Liang Mingzhu nodded: "Hmm! Mother, Pearls listen to you. The mother and daughter chatted happily, and finally Liang Mingzhu asked in a low voice: "Mother, the second brother is back, when do you plan to propose a relationship with the second brother?" "Why, you're more anxious than your mother?" Wu deliberately kept a straight face.

"Mother, of course I'm in a hurry, my eldest brother already has a fiancée and has set a wedding date. I'm going to get married soon, and my second brother doesn't even have a fiancée, and I, as my younger sister, must be anxious for my second brother. A few days ago, I was ignorant and made my second brother angry, mother, you have to help me explain to my second brother, I really know it's wrong. It's all because I'm ignorant! Admitting his mistakes is very diligent, Wu pursed his lips and smiled: "Don't worry about this, my mother will not let Zhu'er be wronged, as long as Zhu'er obediently listens to her mother's words, remember no!" ”

Nodding vigorously: "Mm-hmm, mother, Zhu'er knows." Qi Yuxian walked to the window and a white dove flew in. Without hesitation, he stretched out his hand, and the pigeon fell into Qi Yuxian's hand. quickly took down the note from the pigeon's hind legs, and Liang Mingda and Qi Yuxian relied on this pigeon to deliver the news. It has been two days since he returned to the capital, and Liang Mingda also heard about Qi Yuxian's reward from the saint, and he was happy for Qi Yuxian, which Qi Yuxian deserved.

For this reason, Qi Yuxian aroused a lot of jealousy and envy in the Dingguo Mansion, and these Qi Yuxian didn't care. The twenty boxes of jewelry have been locked in the warehouse by Qi Yuxian, and the old lady asked Qi Yuxian to keep it by herself. Naturally, she had her considerations, and Qi Yuxian didn't want to think about it so much. After all, Qi Yuxian can stay in the Dingguo Mansion for a short time, so she has to speed up her pace, and the note is full of Liang Mingda's longing for Qi Yuxian.

Put the note on his chest, smile slightly, and immerse himself for a long time. Qi Yuxian walked to the table and sat down and replied to Liang Mingda. Not so free to go out whenever you want. In the queen's bedroom, looking at the queen with her mouth wide open, the saint coughed lightly. "I'm sorry, Shengshang, the concubine is out of shape, please forgive me!" I really can't imagine that the four princes actually went to the Holy Lord to ask the Holy Lord to give Qi Yuxian and Liang Mingda a marriage. Is it a reason for the four princes to say that they regard Qi Yuxian as their sister, or is it true?

The queen was suddenly in a trance, "Queen, don't say you're stunned, when I just knew, I was just like you." Now I want to discuss with the queen, if Jue'er doesn't marry Qingning, which girl in the capital is suitable for Jue'er? "The four princes are not young, and they should also get married. The family affairs of the three princes have been decided by the queen mother, and the family affairs of the four princes have been shelved because the four princes went to the front line in the south of the Yangtze River. ”

The eldest prince's family affair was a holy marriage, and the fourth prince was favored by the queen since he was a child, and the queen mother was also favored in every way. I'm afraid that the family affairs of the four princes are a little difficult without the nod and acquiescence of the four princes. The queen pressed in her heart and did not speak. "I couldn't have imagined it for a moment, so let's do it! Since Jue'er insisted on not wanting to marry Qingning, then forget it. It's just that since Qingning can't marry Jue'er, she can't marry Liang Mingda. ”

The queen was smart and silent, and the saint told the four princes through the queen. asked the four princes to think clearly, and the four princes greeted the queen early the next morning, and were slightly stunned when they listened to the queen's words. "Mother, did my father really say that?" Raising her head to look at the queen, the queen hooked her lips: "What, now you don't even believe the words of the queen mother?" "That's not what you mean, Queen Mother, you listen to your son's explanation!"

The more anxious the fourth prince was, the more calmly the queen raised her hand: "Okay, the queen mother knows what you mean, but the queen mother tells you now, you know it in your heart." Your eldest brother will be able to return to Beijing tomorrow, and you will go with your father to pick him up when the time comes. "The queen mother, the sons obey the order." Out of the queen's bedroom, the four princes went to the Liang State Mansion. Liang Mingda was resting in the courtyard, and when he saw the four princes striding over, he hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Weichen see the four princes, Chitose Chitose Chitose!" "No need to be polite!" The fourth prince helped Liang Mingda to get up.

"Mingda, let's go inside and talk." gave Liang Mingda a look, Liang Mingda took the four princes back to the house with understanding, "Mingda, it's not that this king doesn't help you, it's just that my father probably won't easily agree to your relationship with Qingning." You have to be prepared, it's really not good, you discuss with Qingning, if you can, let Qingning beg the Queen Mother, I'm afraid there is still hope. ”

There is no hope at all on the Shengshang's side, as long as the Shengshang insists, the queen and the four princes are powerless to change. However, the Queen Mother may not be, as the biological mother of the saint, she must at least give a few thin noodles, and Qi Yuxian's contribution this time is indeed very great, as well as Liang Mingda. The four princes all felt indebted to Liang Mingda, "Four princes, Weichen understands." Thank you to the four princes! "Mingda, this king is also ashamed to say that he promised you, and now he breaks his promise. But Mingda, don't worry, this king will definitely repay you for saving your life in the future! "The four princes know how to repay the grace, and when they receive the grace of a drop of water, they should repay each other with a spring, not to mention that it is a great grace to save lives.

"Fourth prince, you are serious, this is a matter within the responsibility of the ministers. Wechen's family affairs are troublesome for the four princes to worry about, but Weichen's is not. Liang Mingda still has great hopes, and now he can't hide the loss in his eyes. Soon the four princes left the Liang Guogong Mansion guiltily, and in the evening, Liang Mingda unknowingly came to the outside of Qi Yuxian's courtyard, and took advantage of the night to appear in front of Cuiyu, who subconsciously covered her mouth.

How did Liang Mingda appear in Qi Yuxian's courtyard, and what should he do now? "Shhhh Liang Mingda wanted to find Qi Yuxian, and Cuiyu looked around hurriedly: "Second son Liang, wait a minute, the slave maid will go and inform the girl." "Let Liang Ergongzi come in!" You are guarding the door, don't let anyone approach, and if there is any movement, notify immediately, remember that there is none! "This is related to Qi Yuxian's reputation, and it is not a trivial matter." Girl, don't worry, the slave and maid know, and the slave and maid will invite the second son of Liang into the house. "Cuiyu is not worried about Qi Yuxian, Qi Yuxian knows how to be proportionate, she is a good girl, Mama Chen has not neglected Qi Yuxian in this aspect of discipline over the years, Liang Mingda felt very stable when he saw Qi Yuxian at this moment.

The two of them looked at each other wordlessly for a long time, and finally Qi Yuxian gently lowered her head and coughed, Liang Mingda came back to her senses and smiled wryly: "I've seen the county lord." "Isn't Liang Ergongzi too polite?" The window paper between him and Qi Yuxian had been pierced, and Liang Mingda smiled: "Indeed, there is no need to be polite with Miss Qi." "Don't call Qi Yuxian County Lord anymore, it seems to be much better this way." What are you doing here? He lowered his voice, "I just want to see the girl, I want to come and see, is it okay?" The sudden words made Qi Yuxian bow her head a little shyly.

It was also thanks to Liang Mingda who was embarrassed to say it, and then Liang Mingda did not hide Qi Yuxian. The saint did not agree to the family affair between Qi Yuxian and Liang Mingda, Qi Yuxian frowned, "Don't think too much, I will find a way to solve it, you can wait for me to come to the door to propose marriage." He patted his chest and promised, "Okay, I'll wait!" "With Liang Mingda's words, Qi Yuxian is of course willing to believe that her vision is not so bad.

"Girl, girl." Since Liang Mingda left, Qi Yuxian has been sitting in a daze, and Cuiyu couldn't help but call Qi Yuxian softly, which scared Qi Yuxian a lot and calmed down: "What's wrong, Cuiyu?" "Girl, it's getting late, it's time for you to rest." Timely reminded Qi Yuxian, Qi Yuxian nodded, and then Jade waited for Qi Yuxian to rest, Liang Mingda returned to Liang Guogong's mansion, and happened to meet Liang Guogong in the hall.

Liang Guogong sat and waited for Liang Mingda, "Da'er, come to my father's side." Liang Guogong called Liang Mingda cordially, and Liang Mingda strode in front of Liang Guogong and said: "Father! "Dar, come, sit down." There must be something important to tell Liang Mingda, otherwise Liang Guogong was waiting for Liang Mingda to do something so late. "Your eldest brother's family affairs have been decided, and now it is your family affairs." Liang Guogong didn't go around in circles, and it was not too early now, so if he finished talking earlier, he would let Liang Mingda rest earlier.

"Father!" Liang Mingda didn't know what Liang Guogong's plans were, and he went to find Qi Yuxian tonight, so that Qi Yuxian could wait for him to come to the door to propose marriage with peace of mind. The fourth prince said that the saint refused, and Liang Mingda had a headache. Knowing that the four princes also do their best, some things can be done not as much as they want! "Da'er, I have discussed with your mother for my father, and I will set up your family affairs in these days, and I will be busy with your eldest brother getting married in some days, and I will be busy." Liang Guogong sighed and looked at Liang Mingda.

Liang Mingda quickly said: "Father, son's family, son wants to make his own decisions." Liang Guogong had a calm face: "You want to make your own decisions, do you know what you are talking about now?" "Father, the son knows, please forgive the father, the son's family affairs want to make his own decisions." "Humph! You are now older, your wings are stiff, and since ancient times, marriage events have been the orders of your parents and the words of matchmakers. Why can't I get to you, you still want to make your own decisions. Well, tell me, who do you want to marry? ”

If the girl Liang Mingda wants to marry can bring benefits to Liang Guogong, Liang Guogong will naturally consider it. But Liang Guogong already had a candidate in his heart, and he also discussed it with the Wu family. "Father." Liang Mingda was hesitating to weigh whether to tell Liang Guogong, once he told Liang Guogong, he would open the bow and not turn back. But he can't keep it from Liang Guogong, after all, he still needs Liang Guogong's help, Liang Mingda said softly: "Lord Qingning!" ”

"Say it again!" Liang Guogong stared at Liang Mingda with both eyes, and Liang Mingda repeated again: "Lord Qingning!" "I said the county lord of Qingning earlier, I have discussed it with your mother, and I am the county lord of Qingning." Liang Guogong's words made Liang Mingda hesitate: "Father, you really discussed with your mother the county lord of Qingning. "There is no way out of the mountains and rivers, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village, "Why, do you think that your father will lie to you!" Liang Guogong deliberately glared at Liang Mingda angrily, and Liang Mingda hurriedly smiled: "Father, my son didn't mean that, father, don't be angry with your son." ”

It's just too happy, "Tomorrow, after the eldest prince returns to Beijing, my father will go to the Dingguo Mansion with your mother to propose marriage to you." "I will definitely be able to marry the county lord of Qingning, and their ideas rarely coincide with Liang Mingda. Liang Mingda respectfully said: "Please leave everything to my father." "No, you should be an official in the court, this little thing will be handled for you by your father, and you can wait to marry the county lord of Qingning with peace of mind."

With Liang Guogong's assurance, Liang Mingda slept peacefully tonight. The saint did not go to the queen's bedroom, so he asked Gonggong Gao to talk to the queen and stay in the imperial study to correct the folds. The queen can understand that the saint has a lot of opportunities, and it is normal to have no time, "Father-in-law Gao, this palace knows, you go and tell the imperial dining room to prepare more supplements for the saint, and make up for the saint's body, remember no!" ”

"Queen Mother, the slave knows, don't worry. At that time, it was not early, and the slave did not disturb the mother's rest, and the slave retired. Father-in-law Gao leaned over, "Hmm! Go ahead! The queen looked at the back of Gonggong Gao leaving lightly, and looked away: "Mama, are the four princes going to bed?" "Mama go and take a look quickly, and then come back to the queen in a while. Concubine Qi squinted: "The saint didn't go to the queen's bedroom, in the imperial study." ”

"Back to the words of the noble concubine, yes, the saint corrected the folds in the imperial study." If you don't go to the queen's bedroom, that's fine, Concubine Qi's mood suddenly felt a lot more comfortable. Be kind to Mama, too, "Go down!" Hongu is tired and has to rest. Early in the morning, the saint hurriedly sat up: "Grandpa Gao, Grandpa Gao!" "Holy Lord, the slave is here, what do you command?" Gao Gonggong did not hesitate to push open the door of the imperial study, strode in front of the saint, waiting for the saint's command, and the saint's forehead was full of beads of sweat.

Gonggong Gao raised his head in surprise, "Holy Lord, what's wrong with you?" As he spoke, he took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped it for the saint, "I had a nightmare. The Holy One told Gonggong Gao, "Holy One." "As an old man serving by the saint's side, Gao Gonggong can't guess what to tell himself? If you ask the Holy Lord and don't tell yourself, wouldn't it be nosy, some things should be said, you can ask, and some things can only be knocked on the side.

"Is the eldest prince in the capital today?" The saint soon didn't mention the nightmare, so the high father-in-law should not have heard it and didn't know. "If you go back to the saint, yes, the eldest prince will be able to go to the capital today. The minions are ready, and the four princes are going to the city gate to meet the eldest prince. "You go and inform the four princes, let him go earlier, I am waiting for them in the palace!"

The second prince and the third prince still thought about it behind closed doors in their respective mansions, but the saint did not let them come out. No one dared to intercede with them, and even the Queen Mother felt that she had to teach them some lessons. Otherwise, you don't have a long memory, and as a prince, how can you deceive the saint. Even if it is for the sake of the saint's body, but things have priorities, don't you look at what it is, Jiangnan has always been the area that the saint is most concerned about.

First of all, not to mention that Jiangnan is the land of fish and rice, how much tax revenue of the imperial court every year is contributed by Jiangnan. In addition, the candidates in Jiangnan alone account for half of the candidates in the country, and how many talents have been cultivated for the eastern bordering country. For this reason, the saint and the queen mother attach great importance to the Jiangnan region, this time the second prince and the third prince pretend to be smart, but the smart is mistaken by the smart. Wait until the moment when the eldest prince and the fourth prince arrive at the holy imperial study together, and the saint will be assessed in his heart.

"Sons see their father, long live, long live, long live!" The fourth prince and the eldest prince knelt down together to greet the saint, "Okay, good, good, just come back, hurry up." After a brief chat, let the fourth prince take the eldest prince to the queen's bedroom, and the saint still has to deal with the twists and turns. There are a lot of excerpts all over the country, and now the north is not very stable, and the saint has another headache.

Then the saint decreed to go to the Liang Guogong Mansion and reward Liang Mingda with 1,000 acres of fertile land and 1,000 taels of gold, which was regarded as a reward for Liang Mingda's trip to Jiangnan. Wu smiled happily, Liang Mingda won glory for the Liang Guogong Mansion. Liang Mingzhe gently patted Liang Mingda's shoulder: "Second brother, it's good!" (To be continued.) )
