Chapter 232: The Old Master
After the birthday banquet, the guests began to disperse one after another, and the dark fragrance garden invited the troupe to come back, and those who stayed behind ate tea and watched the play in the flower hall.
The daughters of the Huan family were the first to leave, and as soon as they returned to the house, Mrs. Huan called her second daughter-in-law, Mrs. Man, to come over and told her about the only daughter of Anbian Hou, Xie Yingran, about her marriage, "...... Concubine Chu Chen told her ancestor about this first, I don't know if it was her own intention or the meaning of Xie Houye, but this family must not let go of this family matter. ”
When talking about this in the flower hall today, Mrs. Man was not present, and after hearing the old lady's words, she said with a smile: "Even if the concubine intends to tell Miss Xie to the ancestral family, if our family is willing to marry, Marquis Xie will not be able to ask for it." ”
Old Madam Huan nodded, and she was also quite confident, "I plan to tell Mo Zhi about this family business." ”
Mrs. Man's eyes rolled, Xie Yingran is only thirteen years old this year, four years behind Mo Zhi, if this family affair is decided, it will not be able to greet him in person until two years later, and he will be almost twenty years old by then. If it is said that the age is similar, the fourth young master of the third room is fifteen this year, which is more suitable.
Turning his mind and smiling proudly, now that he has Yanyan as the crown prince and concubine in this room, it is naturally not comparable to the three rooms, plus his father has just been appointed as the assassin of Liangzhou, and even the old man has seen him, and he speaks very politely and gently, and the family affairs of the Hou Xie family in Anbian are naturally going to fall on their son, even if they get married two years late, it is nothing.
"Mother is the most distressed and silent, and if there is a good family matter, she naturally thinks about him first. However,......" Mrs. Man was a little worried, "this kid has a strange temperament, and he has picked a few for him before, but he is reluctant, so I don't know if this Miss Xie is willing." ”
"I didn't force him when he was reluctant before, but this time you can't let him mess around, so you have to be a mother to make it clear to him." Mrs. Huan said: "I said it today, let the children see each other for themselves, at next month's preparatory meeting, you talk to Mo Zhi, he is a reasonable person, naturally he will not object." ”
Mrs. Man nodded in response, and told the old lady what Mrs. Rodhey said today, "...... I think that this Princess Chuchen is a person with means, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with. ”
Old Madam Huan raised her head and thought for a long time, and said, "Then go and inquire about it, and if necessary, let people go to Shangxiu Hall for a trip." Her face was gloomy, and she sneered: "I see that she is very happy to talk and laugh with the people of the Xia family today, and she has always been friends with the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, so she is a little confused about her identity as a northern family." ”
"Now it is rumored that she is the best at regulating women's physique, Mrs. Cai is looking for her, does she want her daughter to be the first to conceive the emperor as soon as she enters the palace?" Mrs. Man said with a frown.
"Rumors are inevitably exaggerated, how can such a thing as a woman's conception be said to be there by a prescription?" Old Madam Huan looked disdainful, "It's just some tricks to win people's hearts." ”
Mrs. Man thought for a while and said with a smile: "It's still a mother's idea, those two maids are now in her room, if she can really get pregnant in a month or two, and then she can't serve her husband, she can instigate the lord of Yunhui to take Lianxiang and Lianyu as a concubine." If you can't conceive after a long time, you can naturally take a concubine on the grounds of an heir. In the future, if he really wins the favor of Prince Chuchen, it is also possible to be made a side concubine. ”
Old Madam Huan laughed, "Although Qin Jinyi was born with a foxy appearance, which made the man fall in love at first sight, but just like her father, after two years, the freshness has passed, and it is not the concubine room that has carried room after room." There are few amorous people like today's saints, and there are few people in this world. ”
At this time, in the Lingxi Building, the dinner time has passed, and the people in the building today have gone to the Dark Fragrance Garden to help, and when they come back, Jin ordered Mama Liu to take the reward and send it to everyone as a reward.
Mama Liu arranged for the night watch, so she asked the rest of the people to go back to the room early to rest.
Lian Xiang and Lian Yu lived in the same room, and as soon as Lian Yu entered the room, she closed the door and whispered to Lian Xiang: "You are too reckless today, there are people coming and going in the small kitchen, why do you dare to chase Tongxi and talk?" In case someone sees and tells the princess, such a thing of thinking about the old master is the most taboo of the master. ”
Lianyu has a beautiful appearance, and her manners and deeds are gentle and gentle, compared with it, Lianxiang is very bright and moving, and she looks light and lively. The two of them are handmaidens specially cultivated by the Huan family, and they are usually given as gifts to other powerful people, such a moving and static character can cater to everyone's different preferences.
Lian Xiang pouted lightly when she heard this, "When the second lady sent the two of us here, although she just told us to listen to the new master, do you think it is really enough to let us serve the prince?" ”
Lian Yu glanced at her, a little disdainful in her heart, she always thought she was smart like this, but her tone was still soft, "I'm just reminding you, now the two of us are not only not taken seriously in this mansion, but there must be people secretly watching, or yesterday as soon as we went up to the second floor, Mama Liu would have come here." ”
"The princess must have known about yesterday's incident, and she didn't say anything, so what is there to be afraid of. We used to be people from the Zhenguo Mansion, and it's no secret. If you ask about today's events, you will only see your former companions and say a few words. We have been here for two months, and we have never been in contact with that side, so it is difficult to ensure that the second lady is in a hurry to wait, and blames us for being ignorant. ”
Lianyu was speechless, in fact, she had some plans in her heart, such as a servant girl like herself, she learned to serve people since she was a child, and finally was transferred to others as an object like a vase, and she didn't really want to do the fine work in Cao Ying's heart in Han, what she could do for the old master was nothing more than blowing the wind on the pillow and the like, if it was such a reckless approach as Lianxiang, I am afraid that she would not even be able to protect herself, and she was still delusional about listening to the news to please the old master.
She walked to the table and poured herself a cup of tea, took a sip, and said slowly: "In short, you don't have to be so anxious, in case you have something late, it doesn't matter if you are unlucky, don't bother me." ”
Lian Xiang sat on the couch and said with a smile: "Good sister, I am thirsty, and pour me a cup of tea." ”
"You didn't break your hand, you won't pour it, but you will call me." She glanced at her, and said so, but still poured a cup and handed it to her.
Lian Xiang covered her lips and smiled, took the tea and took a sip, "I know your best ,......" and sighed again, "Actually, you are right, like us now, it is difficult to even get out of the courtyard gate of Lingxi Tower on weekdays, even if you are in a hurry, it is useless." ”
She pouted in the direction of the upper room, "You still have to think of ways to please the masters." (To be continued.) )
