Chapter 230: Snatching Relatives
Mrs. Huan didn't see Xie Yingran in the flower hall, but when she heard the concubine and Mrs. Xian talk about the daughter of An Bianhou coming to Beijing, and asked Mrs. Xian about the situation of the children of the ancestral family, she already knew that An Bianhou wanted to marry the ancestral family.
Mrs. Xian listened to the concubine's meaning, but she was extremely satisfied with this family affair, the relationship between the ancestral family and the Xie family was already close, and the old man must be willing, so she smiled and said to the concubine: "Now that Juntian has become a family, Junguang's marriage has not yet been settled, and I am still worried." Speaking of which, he and Sister Ying are of the same age, and the two of them have known each other since childhood, and I like Sister Ying strangely. I'll talk to our old lady when I go back today. ”
The concubine smiled and nodded, she also knew that the ancestral family would agree to this matter, and was about to speak, when the old lady Huan on the side quipped: "The concubine tells the ancestral family every time she has a good marriage, why don't you also help our family Zhang Luo?" ”
The concubine looked back and smiled: "The old lady is smiling, how can I have a good marriage?" Ru'er is rude and willful, that is, Mrs. Xian does not dislike her. I heard that the eldest lady of the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion wants to give it to the second young master of your family, and this family business is also good. ”
The second young master of the Huan family was born to Mrs. Yi who was sitting next to her, and she answered with a smile: "The second young man of our family and the family of the Fan family talked about it a few years ago, and now our old lady wants to say a kiss to the third young master of the second room." ”
The second room of the Huan family is also a concubine, and now there is Huan Yanyan as the crown prince's concubine, and the wedding date has been set in August, so the second room is hot.
As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Xian's face changed slightly, although the ancestral family said that the title was above the Zhenguo Gong, but if it was about real power, it would not be able to catch up with the Huan family, although the Marquis of Anbian and the Marquis of Weiyuan were not in Beijing, but they were the two major marquis mansions with military power, not comparable to the Marquis of Qingrong and the Marquis of Changfeng. The concubine told herself about this family affair first, and the Huan family came to intervene again, which was really a bit overwhelming.
The concubine remained silent, and only smiled and said, "That kid Mo Zhi came here once a year ago, and he is seventeen this year, right?" Why haven't you talked about family affairs yet? It's time to hurry. …… It's just that Sister Ying will take two years to get married, and if she says it to Mozhi, I'm afraid it will be a little delayed. ”
Mrs. Xian saw that the concubine was helping her speak, and her expression was slightly relieved.
Old Mrs. Huan said with a smile: "The concubine doesn't know, the three boys in our family have a strange temper, and they said before that they were unwilling, so they dragged it until now." Although these juniors also have to listen to their elders in marriage matters, if they are not satisfied, they will inevitably bump and bump in their lives in the future. I also want to learn from the concubine, and let the children pick the one that fits their eyes, speaking of which, didn't the prince and the princess meet at the Pin Han meeting in my house? ”
The Huan family has been trying to win over An Bianhou for a long time, how can the only family member of the family, Miss Yan, watch the old lady Huan fall on the head of the ancestral family? As long as the Chuchen Mansion does not interfere and let An Bianhou weigh between the two families, his own winning chance will be great.
Mrs. Huan's words really made the concubine unable to refute it for a while, but the concubine originally talked about Xie Yingran and Zu Junguang's family affairs in front of the Huan family, and she also wanted to explore the Huan family's intentions.
Xie Yingran's entry into Beijing must have been known to the Huan family for a long time, and if they were interested in marrying this family, they would definitely come to the door to mention it. If you only talk about this matter privately with the ancestral family, and the Huan family will inevitably be caught in the middle and it will be difficult to do it, and if one is not good, both sides will be offended. It's better to make it clear in front of the Huan family and the ancestral family, and let the two families fight by themselves.
Moreover, although An Bianhou was interested in the ancestral family at the beginning, it was difficult to guarantee that he would not be moved by the power of the Huan family. Although he prefers the Xie family to marry the ancestral family in his heart, after weighing it like this, at this time, the Chuchen Mansion still remains neutral and waits to see what it becomes.
Mrs. Xian was silent, Mrs. Huan could clearly rely on the old and sell the old, she was a generation later than her, so she couldn't open her mouth to argue with her, thinking that she had to go back and explain this matter to the old man and the old lady, so that they could make a more secure decision.
Several people didn't speak for a while, and Mrs. Wang, who had been watching quietly, laughed in her heart, and saw the situation clearly. If it weren't for Anbianhou's intention to marry his ancestral family, presumably the concubine would not mention this matter to Mrs. Xian without authorization, but the Zhenguo Mansion is used to relying on children and in-laws to consolidate power, how could they let go of Anbianhou's fat. Although the ancestral family is not in real power now, there are still many supporters in the army, and it is really a happy thing for the southern scholars to confront the Zhenguo Mansion and the Zhongyi Mansion.
Mrs. Wang smiled and proposed: "It just so happens that the preparatory meeting of Yishantang will be held again next month, and it is the right time for these juniors to take a look at each other." ”
Mrs. Huan picked up the teacup and took a sip, smiled without saying a word, her meaning was already clear, so naturally she didn't need to say more.
Mrs. Xian's face was impassive, and she also smiled: "Mrs. Wang said very well, these juniors can't always worry about our own affairs, they must always agree." ”
Everyone started talking and laughing again, and the previous events were downplayed.
It was almost noon, Jin Yi went to the small kitchen to take a look, the dishes for the luncheon were ready to stop, and he was about to go back to the front to tell Yun Hui, and ran over after hearing the words.
Jin Yi glanced at her, turned around and walked out, heard the words and followed, and when she arrived in a secluded place, she whispered: "Just now the second lady of the Huan family sent someone to ask for a drink, and when I left, I saw Lian Xiang go out with me, I hid in the flowers next to me, and heard her tell the person that the upper two floors of our Lingxi Building are forbidden to go in." ”
Jin Yi nodded and asked, "Is there anything else?" ”
"No, that's all." Hearing this, he shook his head.
Jin Yi snorted and asked her to go back to the small kitchen. But she sneered in her heart, Mrs. Man so blatantly arranged for two people to enter the mansion, and she was so eager to let people come to collect the news, Huan Mansion did this, it was obvious that she was knocking on the Chuchen Palace, not like the Right Prime Minister's Mansion and blindly approaching with a gentle strategy.
Thinking about it, I feel relieved, with the power of Huan Ting now, naturally there is no need to be as cautious as the right minister.
Jin Yi turned a little worried in his heart, now what the Chuchen Mansion relies on is nothing more than that the emperor still cares about the old feelings, but if Sima Yulou really clashes head-on with Huan Ting, presumably the emperor will not shake the foundation of the court for a little old friendship, and it is bound to maintain Huan Ting.
Now, under the watchful eye of the Huan Court, the Chuchen Mansion can only be watched from the wall, that is, not to deal with the Huan family, but also to maintain the relationship between the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, the left and right, and maintain neutrality.
Jin Yi had mixed feelings in his heart, if Sima Yulou was not in a hurry to marry him, and was ready to inherit the prince in a few more years, maybe he would not be so passive towards Shanghuan Ting, and he would not be in such a dilemma as now. But he must have known that this would be the case, but he still ignored his own situation in order to protect himself.
She walked all the way, just thinking about it, turned a clump of Baozhu camellia, and hurriedly walked towards a person, almost colliding with it.
Jin Yi restrained his mind and looked at it intently, but it was Wang Zichen. At this time, I was already bored in my heart, thinking that every time I met her, it was always very unpleasant, so I only nodded at her indifferently, and was about to bypass her, but she pulled her sleeve.
"Princess, can you take a step to speak?" Wang Zichen said calmly. (To be continued.) )
