CHAPTER XXXVI
He was slightly tired of sending the future away, and then took the hand of the close-fitting big girl into the bedroom to change clothes, and the old grandmother next to her came over to remove her coat, and said worriedly: "When is this batch of heads, Mrs. is not a nobleman in the palace, they are really sick and seek medical treatment." ”
He took off the expensive jewelry on his head, moved his stiff neck and said: "It's just to see our lord's face in front of the emperor recently, thinking about finding my curve to save the country." ”
"Isn't this a fool? Where can Madame be the Lord? The old lady walked up behind He and pinched her shoulder.
"It's just a mother's heart." He closed his eyes slightly and sighed: "If it weren't for the eldest sister who had been engaged in private, and our family was in the filial piety period, I was afraid that I would be in a hurry to get angry." ”
"Speaking of it, it's still a matter of Prince Bao, this prince and lady have been gone for so many years, and they don't want to marry a daughter-in-law for the prince, otherwise why wait until now to make the families in Kyoto worry."
He chuckled and said, "That princess is just filling in the house, where is she in charge of the affairs of the adult concubine's house." This is why the saint has a good relationship with the uncle and nephew of the prince today, and the saint has never forgotten the little uncle, otherwise why are there so many princes and sons, and the saint mentioned the prince of Bao. ”
"It was strange for Mrs. Shizi to go back then, otherwise it would be a good family affair." The old lady lowered her voice and said.
He agreed in his heart, but said: "It's just some false rumors, but whose girl is not a mother's distressed meat?" No one can afford to gamble ......"
The old lady hurriedly said: "Isn't this the reason......
"It's a good loss, it's a good loss, Sanniang and Wuniang are still young." Thinking of this, Ho's whole body finally relaxed.
"Our girls will naturally have a good home......
As soon as Mama finished speaking, the sound of Acacia and Meng Chenxi talking came from outside, and the old Mama smiled again: "I think Madame is a little haggard these days, and the girls can see it." ”
As soon as he arrived at the flower hall, He really saw Meng Xintong, who had been hiding in the embroidery building for many days and embroidering the wedding dress, sitting aside, Acacia and Meng Chenxi didn't know what they were talking about, and the two little heads were muttering together.
"What is the wind that is blowing you three here?" He stretched his sleeves and walked slowly, unable to stop laughing.
Meng Xintong and Meng Chenxi don't like to talk much on weekdays, so Acacia got up and saluted and said: "It's still the second brother's filial piety, but I care about the eldest aunt but I'm embarrassed to say to the eldest aunt, when I went to the eldest sister's yard, I said a lot, and we didn't understand until later that it was the eldest aunt who had a bad face recently, we...... He came to the door to make amends. ”
Who doesn't want to hear that his son is filial, He's face is exhausted, and he clicks on his acacia and scolds with a smile: "It's really a defeat for your mouth!" Who doesn't know what that kid is thinking, why bother to cover it up for him, but he wants to tease you, you just don't be fooled. ”
"That's not it, my mother has really lost weight recently...... Meng Xintong walked behind He and said guiltily.
He touched Meng Chen's face, and said with a light smile: "I know that you are all filial, this is not a big deal, your father is really hard, I am just more people here." ”
"We can't help with anything, so we want to make some meals for the uncle and aunt, it's not complicated, it's all home-cooked dishes, as long as the uncle and the aunt don't dislike it." Acacia didn't lean over, just stood behind Meng Chenxi and said.
Only then did He Shi see that Acacia had just discussed with Meng Chenxi, she reached out and pulled Acacia and hugged her carefully: "You are still children, you are not going to get married compared to your eldest sister, there are more things to learn, and it is not too late to wait for you to be older, and then to do something simple in the dining room." ”
Acacia shook He's arm and said coquettishly: "Let's try it, if it doesn't work, isn't there a big kitchen?" ”
He only thought that Acacia was cooking with the cook in the big kitchen, so he couldn't twist her.
Acacia can't actually cook any big dishes, but in her previous life, Mo Li often went in and out of her bedroom in the middle of the night, and kept yelling that she was hungry, forcing her to make a few good home-cooked dishes, and now she can do her best for the uncle's family.
The two little girls were led by Mama to the small dining room in the main courtyard, Meng Xintong stayed and talked to He for a while, and when the sun just set, Ding Anbo unexpectedly came back earlier than usual.
When He saw him, he was distressed for a while, and he didn't care about his daughter's presence, so he went up directly and gave her husband a coat.
Ding Anbo also wondered that the eldest daughter actually came out of the embroidery building, and couldn't help but ask a few more words, and was greatly comforted when he learned that the girl in the family was going to wash his hands and make soup, but he still said hardly: "Well, it's not wrong to learn more before getting married." ”
He Shi glanced at him and didn't expose it, but just asked, "Why did you come back so early today?" But the head of the palace ......"
"It's almost busy." Ding Anbo sat at the table and drank the new tea, and relaxed: "The vassal king will arrive in the middle of this month, and all matters do not depend on me alone, I just listen to the orders of the saint to help. ”
"That's why the Holy One trusts you, doesn't it?" He complimented.
Ding Anbo nodded and replied, "That's also my creation." ”
At this time, He Shi thought of the prince of Bao, and inevitably asked: "Have you heard about the marriage of that prince, does the saint have any ideas?" ”
"How can the divine will be measured? It's just that Kyoto is a pretty good girl, I'm afraid there are opportunities. "Ding Anbo also doesn't want the girl in the family to marry into the mansion of the son, after all, the mountains and rivers are far away, and it is not easy to come back, and the death of the former wife of the prince is too strange, but no one has come to the door because her family is in decline, who knows what will happen to filling the house? Fortunately, there was no suitable candidate in his family.
Meng Xintong's heart was cold, around her, it seemed that only Shen Jiali matched her age, but she then put her mind at ease, after all, Shen Jiali only sent a letter a while ago, it seemed that she was going to make a small decision the day before yesterday, and when Shen Jiali decided on her family, she was not afraid that she would be selected.
"Huo Ranke is back?" Ding Anbo suddenly looked at He Shi and asked.
He shook his head suspiciously, "Didn't he go out with you?" ”
"I think I haven't come back yet, the saint has recently thought of the brave general, and knows that the general only has a single seedling, so he thinks that he can see it in the near future."
Mo Liang and Zhuang Jinyuan twice discovered the fraud of the officials under the Prime Minister's Mansion, although the Ding'an Bo Mansion was therefore obedient to the lord, but the Ding'an Bo Mansion was not ungrateful, and Mo Li's name was naturally sent to the Shengshang's desk, which also gave the Shengshang an impression, and it was also mutually beneficial.
"I heard that the child is not doing very well, his aunt is sweet-hearted, and he has no adult support, and now the main house in the house is occupied, but after all, they are raising Mo Gongzi, and others can't say anything. Now that it's time to arrive, with the Holy Summons, the big house is allowed to converge one or two. He also heard Da'er mention it, but he felt that Mo Liang was really pitiful.
"Third sister?"
Acacia stood at the door with the dish and came back to his senses, laughed dryly and walked in.
Mo Li has never entered the palace in her previous life, she and him are like mice living in the cracks, no one cares, no one can get out of the predicament, and in the end, they don't survive to keep each other warm. Now that she is living like a fish in water in the big house, Mo Li will also enter the palace to meet the saint, presumably if he knows how to manage as he did in his previous life, he will not let his aunt lose his reputation later.
Maybe they will be able to follow what she thinks, just miss it and then walk their own trajectory in their own world.
It's good.
Acacia endured the unknown sourness, put the plate on the table and said, "Uncle, auntie, try my craft." ”
Bang!
A cup was knocked to the ground without a trace, smashing a gap.
"This ...... How is this good, the Holy Majesty summons you...... The ......" The middle-aged man in brocade sat on the top with a sad face, that is, he had just touched the teacup in a panic.
Beside him sat a delicately dressed but not luxurious woman, with a delicate appearance, but the sharp eyes ruined the otherwise peaceful face.
"What are you panicking about? See you. The woman asked people to clean up the teacups on the ground, and smiled slowly: "What are you afraid of, master?" ”
"What if, what did he say before the Holy One?" The middle-aged man said in a trembling voice.
The woman pinned a strand of broken hair behind her ear, revealing a jade bracelet that was half emerald and half purple, and it seemed that there was still flowing water in it.
"What can he say? What did we do? ”
The middle-aged man couldn't help but stand up and said, "Why don't we move back to the big house?" ”
"Why? Isn't Mo's home your home? Your brother is dead, does this family need a hairy child to control it? Mrs. Mo touched the fine mahogany in the house, and said with greed in her eyes: "That child is still young, we are just replacing his parents, we can't be left uncared for, that's too pitiful." ”
"Yes...... But...... Those dowries of the Yus. Master Mo's gaze went straight to Mrs. Mo's wrist.
Mrs. Mo unhurriedly hid the bracelet in her sleeve and said, "Your brother didn't leave any property back then, if you hadn't helped raise that child, he would have starved to death." As for the You family, it is just a girl from a small family, and the family is out of order, who said that she will have a dowry if she marries in. ”
Master Mo still hesitated.
"If the master is worried, and he can't stop him from going, then ......" Mrs. Mo took out a porcelain vase from her sleeve and turned around: "It's better not to let him speak." ”
"Ma'am...... Madam, he has lost his memory for a year, let's, we don't need to. Master Mo said with a blank face.
Mrs. Mo winked at Master Mo and said, "Seeing that the old man is in a hurry, isn't this also a good idea?" ”
