Chapter 233 Inquiry
The next day, when Jinyi went to greet the concubine, she was listening to the concubine talking to Yunhui about Xie Yingran's marriage.
Yun Hui raised her eyebrows, "What does Old Madam Huan mean?" Obviously she wants to talk about the family affairs of her ancestors, but she is going to intervene? ”
Jin Yi's heart moved when she heard this, the Huan family really wanted to marry An Bianhou, so she quietly saluted the concubine first, and sat quietly aside.
The concubine looked calm, and only said indifferently: "This matter depends on what your in-laws mean, the prestige of the Zhenguo Mansion is there, and it is said to Huan Mozhi in the second room, he will be the uncle of the country in the future, as for the ancestral family, it is naturally impossible to fight." ”
Jin Yi was amused in her heart, in order to prevent Yunhui and the Huan family from getting too close, the concubine took great pains, and her words implied that the Xie family had the meaning of clinging to the powerful.
Sure enough, Yun Hui couldn't stand it when she heard it, "Since my father-in-law said that he wanted to marry Ying Ran to Zu Junguang, how could he covet the wealth of the Huan family again." Besides, Ying Ran is so pampered at home, and she has a big lady's temper, and her mother-in-law is reluctant to take her as a victim of marriage. ”
Jin Yi said: "But now that Mrs. Huan has mentioned it in person, if my mother insists on talking about this family with the ancestral family, I am afraid that she will offend the Huan family." ”
The concubine glanced at Jinyi, smiled slightly on her lips, and didn't speak, just looked at Yunhui.
Yunhui frowned and said: "It's really too much for the Huan family to do this, in vain I have such a good relationship with Mrs. Man, if they really intend to say goodbye to Huan Mozhi, I should have said it first when I went to deliver the invitation yesterday, but I wanted to rob it in front of the ancestral family, and let our family be a villain." ”
The concubine said: "After I haven't seen guests in the past few years, the female relatives of the northern family are all looking at the Huan family, and their family is looking at the relatives, who dares to say 'no'?" ”
"We northerners should take care of each other,...... Yun Hui said, looking at Jin Yi dissatisfied, "It's Sister Yi'er, you are too close to those ladies in the south." ”
The concubine coughed lightly and said, "Yunhui, you have been away from Beijing for too long and can't see the situation clearly." How can we understand it now as we did in the past? The meaning of the Holy One is also to make harmony between the north and the south, regardless of each other. Besides, like the Wang family, he befriended you kindly, and he didn't stretch out his hand and didn't hit the smiling person, Yulou didn't enter the court to be an official, so why did you bother to be a gunman for others. ”
Yun Hui looked uncertain, lowered her head and thought. She is actually not a stupid person, but she has a noble status since she was a child, and she is respected everywhere she goes, and she never disdains to intrigue with others.
The Anbian Marquis Mansion has been in Beisai for many years, and she is far away from the court and does not get involved in the dispute between the government and the government, so after she returned to Beijing, she still interacted with the female dependents of the northern scholars according to the old practice, but ignored the southern people.
At this time, when I think about it, in the past few months of interaction with the Huan family, although Mrs. Man and others are kind and kind to them, they do have a lofty posture in their bones, and they only think that the character of the northerners has always been arrogant. But now in the social situation, most of the northern female dependents are still Gong Wei beside the Huan family, although their own family is the royal house, they can only be willing to live behind, the subtle relationship between them faintly makes Yun Hui feel unhappy, if the future of this distinction between the superior and the inferior is adjusted, will the Huan family be hostile to their own family?
The concubine knew that she had figured out the key, and reminded her again: "Your temperament is too straightforward, everything is black and white, and you don't know how to be flexible." In the current situation between the DPRK and China, it is natural that the friendship with the north cannot be severed, but the female dependents of the south should not be too alienated. Yulou has just attacked the throne, and there are a lot of people staring at him outside, as long as you don't offend people at will, you can be regarded as helping him. ”
Yun Hui looked at Jinyi, it seemed that she must understand this, but her partial mother couldn't believe herself, and she felt a little deflated in her heart, "Mother rest assured, I will be measured in the future." ”
Jin Yi thought for a while and said to the concubine: "Mother, I want to go to my ancestral house tomorrow to see Ru'er, then ......, if Sister Ying wants to go, should I take her with me?" ”
Yun Hui said, "Why can't you take her?" Could it be that it has become a sentence of the Huan family, our Xie family and the ancestral family can't even have a relationship. ”
The concubine sighed in her heart, she married her to the Anbian Marquis Mansion in Beisai that day, because she was so straightforward, she was really not suitable to stay in Jianye Capital, "You still let Weiran write back, tell the meaning of the Huan family, and see what your in-laws plan." ”
turned to Jin Yi and said: "If Sister Ying is willing to go tomorrow, you can take her with you." After all, the Xie family and the ancestral family have a deep relationship, and we can't even let us see each other. ”
Jin Yi nodded in response, and said to Yun Hui with a smile: "Sister, do you want to go with me tomorrow?" ”
Yun Hui thought for a while and said, "The gifts I received yesterday haven't been counted yet, and I'm afraid that tomorrow will be another day, so I won't go first." Wei Ran said that he would go hunting in Zhongshan in a few days, and we would go together then. ”
Jin Yi saw that she was a little unkind to herself in the past two days, and at this time she was willing to take the initiative to invite herself out, so she naturally smiled and nodded in agreement.
When Yunhui returned to the Rufang Pavilion, Xie Weiran took Ming'er to Fengyulou, she had to take someone to sort out the birthday gifts received yesterday, register them one by one, and then put them into the warehouse, and was busy until noon, Xie Weiran came back.
After lunch, Yun Hui asked Lan Gu to take Ming'er out, and Rouge brought in two lamps of Qian Fenglu. Because Yunhui likes to drink this, Jinyi deliberately taught the recipe to the chef of Rufang Pavilion, although the taste is slightly insufficient, and the taste is a little sweet, but it is still deeply loved by Yunhui, and it is necessary to drink a pot every day.
Yun Hui held the tea cup in her hand, looked at the crimson tea soup in the cup, and suddenly asked Xie Weiran, "If you marry Ying Ran to the Zhenguo Mansion, what do you think?" ”
Xie Weiran wasn't surprised by her sudden words, but smiled gently: "Father has been thinking about the promotion and appreciation of his grandfather, so he wants to marry Ying'er to the ancestral family, why did you mention the Zhenguo Mansion again?" ”
Yun Hui looked at him inquiringly, "Then what if the Huan family wants to ask to marry Yingran?" "Today's concubine's words, she thought about it again after she came back, although she thought that her father-in-law was not the kind of person who coveted power, but she was a little unsure.
Although Xie Weiran has been staying in Beisai all the year round, he has a better understanding of the situation in the DPRK than Yun Hui, and after listening to her two questions, he already knew in his heart, smiled and did not answer, but asked her, "What does Mother think?" ”
Yun Hui couldn't hold her breath anymore, and said impatiently: "This is to say goodbye to your sister, what can my mother think?" Yesterday, my mother mentioned this to the fourth lady of the ancestral family, and the fourth lady was willing, but Mrs. Huan was listening, and she said that their family Mozhi's family affairs had not been decided, which meant that she wanted Huan Mozhi to marry Yingran. ”
Xie Weiran thought about it, but asked another question: "I heard that Huan Mozhi used to be good friends with Yulou, but the relationship between the two has been a little tense recently. ”
Yun Hui told him about the falling out between Huan Mozhi and Zu Juntian, and said: "Old Mrs. Huan said it cleverly, let them see each other for themselves, compared to the examples of Yulou and Jinyi, so that my mother had nothing to say. ”
"Old Mrs. Huan is like this, isn't Mrs. Zu annoyed?" Xie Weiran then asked.
"Even if it's annoying, who let Old Madam Huan grow up to her?" Yun Hui sighed, "Tomorrow Yulou and they are going to the ancestral house, you have to visit the grandfather." ”
Xie Weiran nodded, "This is natural. This time when I returned to Beijing, my father specially asked people to go to Changbai Mountain to find a few old ginseng, which had grown into a human shape, and instructed me to send it over in person, and there were some gifts for the fourth master and Juntian, I will go to Yulou tomorrow and take Ying'er with me.
