"Lord Wang, if Yu Ning is still surnamed Xiao, the Xiao family will be like a tiger, and it will be the impostor who will be restrained at that time. In any case, Mrs. Mao is also the daughter of the Mao family, how can she do something that is not good for her mother's family? ”

Even if it is Linglong, she will not do anything unfavorable to the Jin family, let alone Mrs. Mao?

Yan Xu thought for a while and muttered: "The incident between the two uncles back then, the prince of Chu committed suicide, and Mrs. Mao returned, and the father married Mrs. Mao to the Duke of Chu to make a continuation. It is said that the power of the Duke of Chu is weak, and it is all maintained by Mrs. Mao's dowry, so the Duke of Chu is very afraid of the inside, and does not dare to take concubines, and there is no connecting room, and Mrs. Gao is very dissatisfied with this stepmother who is younger than her, thinking that she broke the incense of the Gao family. ”

Linglong has also heard of these things, she has frequent contacts with the Dong family of Linjiang Hou Mansion, but the daughter of the Dong family never mentions Mrs. Mao, thinking that the relationship between the Gao family and her stepmother is not good.

Hearing Yan Xu suddenly talk about these things, she was stunned, these things are all of interest to the women in the back house, and Yan Xu is not a person who cares about them.

She raised her eyes to look at Yan Xu, and from her angle, she could see Yan Xu's pursed lips.

She couldn't help but lean over, kissed the corner of Yan Xu's lips, and whispered: "There are two biggest crises in the Duke of Chu, one is childless; The second is that there is no money. Among them, childlessness is the most important. What the prince means is that if you can help them with this, Mrs. Mao will owe a favor, but Lord Wang, don't you want to give it to the beauty of Chu Guogong, right? But the concubine heard that the Duke of Chu was already old and frail, and she was afraid that she was weak. ”

The corners of Yan Xu's mouth raised slightly, and there was irrepressible pleasure in his voice: "What is your little head thinking about all day, Chu Guogong is over seventy years old, I'm afraid that if you see a beauty, you will die in a hurry." “

After saying that, he burst out laughing, completely devoid of the anger he had just had.

Seeing that his mood improved, Linglong breathed a sigh of relief. Although a man has to have a little temper to be good enough, Yan Xu is like a spoiled child every time he starts his temper, but he is also an identity that cannot be beaten and scolded.

She glanced at him angrily, and said coquettishly: "Is what the concubine said so funny?" Obviously, it was the prince who said that the state of Chu cut off the incense. ”

Yan Xu realized that she had gone too far, she had just scared her, and now she was laughing at her like this.

He hugged her to his chest again, kissed and kissed, and loved her in every way, and then said: "The Duke of Chu lost his wife in his early years, and later had an outer room and a son. The Duke of Chu has passed the sixtieth birthday, and his biggest wish is to let this son become a knight, and Mrs. Mao should also have this idea, otherwise a hundred years later, she will not even have a person to worship incense. ”

"But where the father is" Linglong paused and didn't continue.

Yan Xu frowned and asked, "What do you want to say?" ”

Linglong pursed her petal-like lips and whispered: "The concubine is just thinking, Mrs. Mao is very blue-eyed by the queen mother, and it is not difficult to let the son born to the outer chamber of the Duke of Chu be a lord, if she really has this idea, why didn't the queen mother help her?" Maybe she didn't want to. ”

Yan Xu was puzzled: "A hundred years later, someone will offer her incense, why is she unwilling?" ”

Linglong muttered: "I don't want to do it instead." ”

Yan Xu was slightly stunned, then laughed again, and teased her: "When I didn't get married, I said that I wanted to have a stepchild, and you agreed at that time." ”

Linglong immediately remembered that she mistakenly thought that he was inhumane at that time, and her pretty face turned red, the biggest oolong in her life was that she was molested by her inhumane husband on the night of the cave room.

"What do you say I do, forget it, the concubine still won't tell you, the two sisters are still waiting, I'm over." She twisted and struggled to get up.

Yan Xu hugged her tighter and coaxed her softly: "Okay, okay, don't talk about that." ”

He added: "You're right, like this kind of matter involving the government, don't use Mrs. Mao, she is a woman, and it is also difficult to be caught in the middle, I better think about it." ”

Hearing that Yan Xu changed her mind, Linglong also breathed a sigh of relief, although Mrs. Mao was cold to her, but she had a good impression of Mrs. Mao, and she didn't want to watch Mrs. Mao being stirred in.

She was a little embarrassed: "During the court, I took Mrs. Mao's purse"

Like lightning, Yan Xu remembered that day in the carriage, he had indeed seen her holding a purse as if she was looking at stolen goods, and he had also ridiculed her.

"Why do you even steal from Mrs. Mao? The Duke of Chu is very poor, if you want to start at the Great Dynasty, you must also find a rich one. ”

Well, that's how the big thief educates the little thief.

Linglong was slightly stunned, and said: "Of course I didn't take her purse for money, she ignored me, I was just curious, you know that a woman's purse will always contain some small things, I just want to see what is in her purse, and infer what kind of person she is." ”

Yan Xu listened to her eloquent words, so she wanted to follow what she said, aren't all the pickpockets on the bridge that day tall, and they can infer what kind of people they are.

But he was just thinking about it, and of course he couldn't say it. The little thief blank is the most interesting like this.

"Then can Concubine Ai deduce what kind of person Mrs. Mao is?" Yan Xu listened attentively.

Linglong sighed: "Except for a few taels of silver tickets, there is nothing that is ugly and ugly, and I lost it, and I didn't look at it carefully." ”

Yan Xu smiled, pinched her nose, and said: "Since this is the case, then don't do this kind of thing that hurts others and yourself in the future, if you have itchy hands, then tell me, and I will take you to do business." ”

Linglong snorted, moved her fingers slightly, and took out a purse from him: "Hey, why do you also bring a purse?" ”

Yan Xu never carries a purse.

Yan Xu was very angry, snatched the purse from her hand, and said: "You can see clearly, this is what you gave me back then, I remembered it that day, and I found it in Muxitang at noon." ”

The bright blue plain satin material is embroidered with chicks eating rice.

Linglong remembered that she seemed to have given him such a purse, so she smiled and said, "Then give it back to me, you don't bring any silver when you go out, and it's useless to ask for a purse." ”

Yan Xu didn't fight with her, returned the purse to her, and said, "Take it, I don't bring this kind of mother-in-law's thing." ”

Linglong smiled and checked her purse, and found that it was heavy, she opened it curiously, and poured out two small stone seals from it.

The lithographs were carved from the most common stones, one a rabbit and the other a monkey, and the carving was so clumsy that it was barely possible to distinguish the shape.
