Chapter 43

The reason why Mrs. Shi didn't go to the southwest was because she wanted to maintain the relationship between the Shi family in Beijing on the one hand, and on the other hand, it was also because of Xiangyun that she wanted to choose a noble son-in-law for Shi Xiangyun in Beijing and settle her family. After all, the southwest side is not as prosperous as the capital. For the sake of the Shi family, she has already treated her eldest son badly, and she doesn't want to wronged Xiangyun in this regard.

But these days, every time she reads the newspaper, she feels deeply afraid. Seeing that the princes were getting older and about to recreate the rebellion of Prince Yizhong in the past, Mrs. Shi was not only afraid. The Shi family now only has her and Xiangyun people, and the two sons are the capitals with real power. If that prince has the heart to pull the Shi family into the horse, he and Xiangyun will inevitably be their targets. The Shi family has so many relatives and friends in the capital, but when it is really dangerous, who can help?

At this time, Mrs. Shi realized that what she had thought was too simple. It's just that she has the heart to leave at this time, but she can't rest assured about Xiangyun's affairs. She thought about finding a family member for Xiangyun first, and then she could leave with peace of mind. But for a while, she couldn't find a satisfactory candidate. So it's in a dilemma.

Mrs. Shi had the intention to entrust Xiangyun's marriage to a trustworthy person, but she couldn't think of a suitable candidate, and the closest relationship with the Shi family should be the Jia family, but the way the Jia family acted made her disagree. Didn't you see that the girl of the Jia family has been waiting for the boudoir? I don't know what kind of home I can find in the future. At this time, Shi Xiangyun recognized Lin Ruhai as his father-in-law, and Mrs. Shi planned to entrust this matter to Lin Ruhai.

As early as a few months ago, Mrs. Shi wrote a letter to Lin Ruhai, entrusting the matter to Lin Ruhai. But there has been no response from Lin Ruhai. It wasn't until Xiangyun came back that Mrs. Shi didn't know what was going on, presumably Lin Ruhai hadn't seen the letter yet! It's just that Mrs. Shi is more confident in this matter, the girl of the Lin family has become the noble princess of Qi, and with the friendship between the two people, it is expected that Shi Xiangyun's marriage will not be bad in the future.

Old Lady Shi couldn't help but sigh as she watched the candle flame flicker in front of her. "Yun'er, I thought, it's better for you to stay in the capital."

Shi Xiangyun was still imagining that he could travel around, but he was dispelled by the old lady's words, "Why?" Grandmother, I'm going too. ”

"Good boy, listen to me. The reason why I keep you in the capital is that the relationship between the historians in the capital still needs to be maintained, you are the most suitable person, you are still young, and many times, those filthy methods will not be used on you. Moreover, there are also the Jia family, the Lin family, and Concubine Nan'an in the capital, if you want to come, they will protect you well. Second, although the Shi family has avoided the border, since ancient times, the most important thing in seizing the heir is military power, and your second and third uncles may not be safe. I have to think about the future of the historian. And you're just a child, I think, someone will protect you. Even if your second and third uncles are really implicated, the Shi family still has you, so it can be regarded as leaving a way back for the Shi family! Besides, you are so old, your marriage should be arranged. Xiang Lan and Xiang Xue have their mothers, even if they are in remote places like the southwest and northwest, the marriage will not be bad. But you're different. Your mother's clan lives in Jiangnan and can't give you any substantial help, and your second uncle," Mrs. Shi hesitated for a moment, but still said, "I may not really plan for you." Instead of letting him take care of your marriage, it is better to find a marriage in the capital. I have entrusted your marriage to your stepfather, with your relationship with the Lin family, presumably your future husband's health will not be too bad! ”

Shi Xiangyun suddenly remembered Wei Ruolan in the original book, and hurriedly asked, "Grandmother, but there is a candidate in the second uncle's letter?" ”

Mrs. Shi looked at Shi Xiangyun, the love in her eyes was very complicated, at least, with Shi Xiangyun's current experience, she didn't understand it very well. Mrs. Shi sighed, saying that Hui Ji will be hurt, Yun Yatou is so smart, for the Shi family, I don't know if it's a good thing or a curse, she is only afraid that after a long time, the truth of the boss's death in vain may not be able to be hidden! Especially if Yun Yatou meets someone from the Zhang family. Therefore, this is also one of her selfish intentions, knowing that the Zhang family will not set foot in the capital within thirty years, so she doesn't want Yun Yatou to leave the capital one step.

"You're smart. Your second uncle's letter did mention a personal candidate. The other party is the eldest son of the Hou family in Changchun, Wei Ruolan. The Marquis of Changchun is now the commander of the Southwest Battalion and the top boss of your second uncle. Originally, this marriage was also a dream, but there was something else in it, Wei Ruolan was the son of Changchun Hou's original wife, and Changchun Hou is now remarrying the concubine of King Dongping, although she is a concubine, but she is quite loved by King Dongping, and Mrs. Changchun Hou gave birth to twins that mean dragon and phoenix Chengxiang as soon as she entered the door, so she also gained a firm foothold. And Wei Ruolan's maternal grandfather's family has fallen, Wei Ruolan herself is weak, and the son Wei Ruofang in the dragon and phoenix womb is only two years younger than Wei Ruolan, but he is smart and clever, Wen Taowu is good at everything, and there is a foreign family like Dongping Wangfu. The Marquis of Changchun has not invited the prince for a long time, and Wei Ruolan's position in the mansion is really embarrassing! ”

So that's the case, no wonder Wei Ruolan was described in the original book with only the words 'Wang Sun Gongzi', and Mrs. Wang also used the word 'noble son-in-law' when talking about this marriage. In fact, the marriage between Wei Ruolan and Shi Xiangyun in the original book can only be said to be good-looking on the face, but it is not very good on the inside.

Although the Wei family holds real power, Wei Ruolan's identity is embarrassing, and the ownership of the position of the prince of Changchun Marquis is not yet known, although Shi Xiangyun was born in a family of two marquises, but at that time, Shi Nai Shi Mo had no real power, and Shi Xiangyun was an orphan daughter without a father and mother. These two people get together, and on the surface, they seem to be a good match, but in fact they are sympathetic.

It's just that now, after so many changes, why does Shi Nai still mention this family business?

"So, weighing the pros and cons, I can only choose to let you stay in the capital. I still believe in Lin Hai's character. Old Lady Shi said as she rubbed Shi Xiangyun's hair.

Shi Xiangyun was silent, and for a while, she was also a little confused. Originally, she thought that even if she really married Wei Ruolan, it was not impossible to be a happy widow, but now that she knew this, she hesitated, the situation of the Wei family was so complicated, even if she could really be a widow with peace of mind, it was estimated that Mrs. Changchun Hou would not be at ease. In order to win the trust of the Wei family, the second uncle didn't know what he would do.

"Yun girl, I know you're smart. It's just that people live in this world, and there are always too many things to scruple about, and sometimes, there are only trade-offs. As the one who was abandoned, it may not be really abandoned by everyone, and as the one who is protected, it may not really have a clear conscience. You know what I mean? Old Lady Shi looked at Shi Xiangyun meaningfully.

Shi Xiangyun subconsciously avoided the old lady's eyes, and she said with a smile: "Old lady, I know." Although I would love to follow you to the southwest to have a look, if I really can't, it's not impossible to stay in the capital. There is also Sister Lin with me on the left and right! "She also wants to see the beautiful Grand View Garden of the Jia family!

Mrs. Shi was a little disappointed in her heart, but after thinking about it, Yun Yatou was still young after all, and when she was older, she might be able to understand her hard work. "Well, let's get to that for now! Seeing that autumn is coming, I guess I will have to wait until next spring to set off! Alas, maybe you can wait until a qiē is arranged before leaving! ”

Shi Xiangyun nodded, just at this time, Dong Solstice came in and asked if he was going to have dinner, so Mrs. Shi let Dong Solstice set the meal. After dinner, Shi Xiangyun accompanied Mrs. Shi to talk again, politely refused Mrs. Shi's offer to stay in Chunhui Hall, and went back to Huilanyuan to rest alone. She didn't want to be brainwashed by Mrs. Shi anymore, and from Mrs. Shi's words and deeds, she also guessed some of the truth about her father's death. She is not a serious ancient, and she doesn't have so many scruples about the clan, but thinking of Mrs. Shi's care for her for so many years, as well as her eldest brother and Xiangxue, Shi Xiangyun is also a little hesitant. What is she going to do if things are really what she thinks.

This night, Shi Xiangyun's bedroom has been lit by the lamp, and the same is true of Chunhui Hall. When Mrs. Shi heard the return of the winter solstice, she sighed, closed her eyes, and continued to recite the Heart Sutra in her mouth. I thought that I would not regret my decision, but the more time passed, the more unpeaceful my heart became.

The Shi family is calm here, but the Jia family is busy on the side, and in October, the Jia family is finally ready, Jia Zheng dared to go to this request, and the saint quickly approved it, and the concubine was provincial on the fifteenth day of the first month of the first month of next year. At the same time, the provincial dates of Wu Guifei, Zhou Guifei and other concubines were also finalized, and the capital suddenly became lively, and they had never been born for many years.

Because of such excitement, King Rui was robbed of his position, and the things he thought about behind closed doors were like a shudder in the sea, silently.

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, Jia Mu sent someone to pick up Shi Xiangyun to pass the house, saying that it was the provincial concubine and invited Miss Yun to be lively. Mrs. Shi politely refused on the grounds that she was unwell and wanted Xiangyun to serve her illness. After Jia's mother knew, she was very depressed for a while, when she took Daiyu into the palace that day to thank her, she had already greeted Yuan Chun, and Yuan Chun was also a little moved by his own mentions, after all, Shi Nai, Shi Nai, and the two brothers now hold real power, if they can pull the Shi family to their side, the benefits are self-evident.

It's just that Yuan Chun also has his own thoughts, Mrs. Wang and Jia Zheng have respected each other like ice, Jia Zhu died early, he and Baoyu were born and were raised by the old lady, and they have never been filial to Mrs. Wang for a day, and now, the mother is old, and the only thing she wants is to marry a daughter-in-law who is close to her for Baoyu. If you can't meet such a small request, you will be a woman in vain!

In addition, what Mrs. Wang said is also reasonable, in order to get ahead, she spends money like running water, and she also knows what the situation is in the Jia family. Although the Xue family's status is low, it is a wealthy family, and the aunt of the Xue family has already said that if the golden and jade relationship is fulfilled, then the Xue family will be responsible for all the expenses they have in the palace in the future.

Yuan Chun felt that Shi and Xue were really difficult to choose. In the end, I thought about waiting until the day of the provincial family, and after seeing it in person, I would make a decision!
