Chapter 97 Caught off guard by seeing relatives (1)
"Brother Bai, don't worry, it's just that Her Royal Highness the princess asked me a few words, and you see, the female official who came today spoke politely and politely, not like asking for a crime. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
Tian Shuqing comforted her husband who was sullen and didn't say a word after dinner, although she actually didn't have a bottom in her heart.
"Every time something happens to your father-in-law, you have to be tired." Wu Bai said with some concern.
Tian Shuqing's eyes were dark and speechless, Wu Bai was a little annoyed that he didn't open which pot to mention, and said, "I don't know what Her Royal Highness the princess said to you?" We are just ordinary people who are safe and secure! ”
"I can guess one or two, in the early years I had an aunt who married the former Pingnanhou, and the surname was Xiahou, and now the princess is married to this concubine, I am afraid that it has something to do with my aunt, the name of General Xiahou, in the northwest is like thunder. I suspect that when the princess saw me, it was either related to my aunt, who died young, or it was related to the Tian family. ”
Wu Bai was surprised: "Isn't that your own aunt?" Don't you know? ”
Oh, yes! I don't even know the situation in my aunt's house, so if I say it, no one will believe it?
Tian Shuqing smiled bitterly: "My father is about ten years older than my aunt, my aunt got married before I was born, and then I heard my mother say that when my aunt got married, my grandmother and grandfather prepared one-third of the Tian family's wealth or how much to give my aunt a dowry, my grandfather has a lot of children, my aunt alone accounts for so much, how can the rest of the people be happy?" When my grandparents were alive, they still had dealings with the Naping Nanhou Mansion, and when my grandparents passed away, the relationship between the two sides was broken. ”
"My mother has a better relationship with my aunt, but you also know that she is gentle and weak, and it has always been my aunt who contacted her, and then my grandmother and grandmother passed away one after another, and my father was no longer suppressed, and the concubine married at home, she was too busy to take care of herself, and she knew that the news of my aunt's death came, only to know that the person was gone, and when my aunt was gone, the Tian family almost had no contact with the Pingnan Hou Mansion."
Wu Bai sighed when he heard it: "Marrying the Hou Mansion of Daqi as the daughter of an imperial merchant, only the dowry can make the daughter's family have confidence, my grandfather actually did it right, and if the relationship with the Pingnan Hou Mansion is handled, the future business dealings are actually a very beneficial thing." ”
"My grandfather has been up and down in the business sea for many years, how can he not understand this matter, but he was already terminally ill at that time, and some things are also weak, what else can he do? My uncles have long been blinded by money and rights, where to think about the long-term, even if there is a place to think about the long-term, at that time it was the time to fight for power and profit, where can they still take care of this? ”
Tian Shuqing looked at Wu Bai: "I have been married to you for twelve years, and our family has grown from a small grocery store to the point where several shops have been opened like this, so I naturally know the difficulties and sadness." Two years ago, I heard the name of General Xiahou I didn't think about it, thinking that it was estimated that it could have something to do with my little aunt, but the tree lives a skin, and the person lives a face, and then I learned that it was my little aunt's son, General Xiahou was abducted and trafficked for five years in the early years before returning home after a lot of hardships, at that time, no one in our Tian family went out to find him, no one gave General Xiahou a helping hand, and then went to find someone when the people were soaring, I really couldn't pull this face, And although we work hard, we are all the Jiaye that we have saved little by little, you are a big man, you don't have to please anyone, you are upright, I see that you have a good life, even if you suffer a little, what is it. ”
Tian Shuqing's words are clear and reasonable, especially the last sentence, the man's face is bigger than the sky, which makes Wu Bai feel very useful.
"We have been married for so many years, needless to say, I understand you,"
Under the oil lamp, Wu Bai patted Tian Shuqing's hand, and then sighed: "Alas! I just heard that Her Royal Highness the princess is not very good-tempered, and you don't know anything when you go the day after tomorrow, what if you collide with the princess? ”
"Who said they didn't know anything?" Speaking of this, Tian Shuqing came to a little spirit, and showed the things that Xiao Tule brought to her husband: "This is sent by Her Royal Highness the princess to her maidservant, I will naturally wear this set of clothes when I go the day after tomorrow, and the things that the princess can send must also be what Her Royal Highness the princess wants me to wear that day, don't you say?" ”
Where do women don't like clothes and jewelry, not to mention Tian Shuqing, who came out of the splendid pile, even if she arrived at the Wu family, she judged the situation more shabby than before, but in the end she had seen these prosperous.
The things Lan Qiduo sent were actually very simple, and even because they visited other people's homes and asked Xiao Tuping to prepare some meeting gifts, Xiao Tuping picked some things that Lan Qiduo had not used on weekdays, or that were already very delicate and lovely in the eyes of others, but His Royal Highness did not look very good: Tuan brocade flower clothes with floral emerald gauze dew skirts, and a silver gold-plated beaded emerald hairpin.
The dots on the hairpin are gorgeous and abnormal under the light, Wu Bai saw his wife's happy appearance for a while, obviously the daughter of the imperial merchant with brocade clothes and jade food, but after marrying him by mistake, he lived a hard life.
Tian Shuqing quickly noticed her husband's eyes, and pushed him angrily: "What do you want?" These are rare good things sent by Her Royal Highness the Princess, even if I didn't necessarily buy them at home before, especially this little emerald hairpin, don't look at this little bit of craftsmanship, I tell you, don't want to buy it without twenty taels of silver, plus this workmanship, I plan to leave us Niuniu as a dowry! ”
Wu Bai couldn't cry or laugh a little: "Niuniu is only eight years old!" ”
"What's wrong with being eight years old? My dowry has been being saved since I was born! ”
Tian Shuqing said it very naturally.
"Hurry up and go to bed, get up early tomorrow, and see what we have to bring to the princess, although the princess and our identity is 108,000 miles, but that's all we can get, not afraid of jokes!"
"That's true, and that's what I think."
Tian Shuqing blew out the lamp and said in the dark: "Do you think I want to bring peace and Niuniu?" ”
"The two of them are used to making trouble at home one by one, this time you are going to the princess's house, what if you collide with the princess?"
Wu Bai held his wife's hand in the quilt: "You can't be afraid, right?" ”
"Who's scared? I...... It's not that I haven't seen the world, I think my mother took me to Mrs. Zhixian's house as a guest. ”
How could Wu Bai not feel his wife's duplicity, but such a wife did not have the usual stability, which made him feel very cute and fresh, and for a while, he was a little moved, and his hand slowly slid down the neckline of his wife's wide clothes, and after a while, an ambiguous moan sounded in the room.
Tian Shuqing was really nervous when she was going to set off early in the morning on the third day, although the Dingxi Protectorate was only one or two hours away from Xiliang Mansion, but she didn't know the bottom in her heart, the person she had ever seen the highest status was just the arrogant lady of the county magistrate she had seen when she was a child, it was said that the prefect of Xiliang Mansion was like a little maid in front of the princess, how could she be determined, and when she saw her husband who was also dressed up at the door, Tian Shuqing was stunned.
"What to see, I'm just going to Dingxi to have a look, I heard that a lot of people have come there recently, I'm going to investigate, can our grocery store also open one in Dingxi."
This man has always been like this, obviously caring about her but afraid that she won't be able to get off the stage, Tian Shuqing sighed more than once, she is lucky.
"Let's go! What's so good, don't delay the hour, it's a good thing to be able to arrive in Dingxi before lunch! ”
Tian Shuqing said briskly: "I will definitely be able to arrive, it is only mid-hour, and it is estimated that it will be around the middle of the year when Dingxi is waiting." ”
After she finished speaking, she remembered: "You went out, what should you do at home?" ”
"Ping'an is almost twelve, half an adult still can't watch the house, and besides, there are guys in front, and I also asked my neighbor Aunt Zhang to take care of it."
"That's good!"
"Since you come out, you can relax, now that the weather is neither hot nor cold, just come out and take a walk, and you will know to worry about it every day!"
"I'm not worried about my family."
The husband and wife chattered and sat in the hired carriage and walked to Dingxi, which was very warm and harmonious.
But he said that Lan Qiduo naturally didn't forget that there was a guest here today: "Don't dress up too gorgeous." ”
"Your Highness, just rest assured, I guess that the Tian family will definitely wear the clothes given by His Highness when he comes here today."
"What clothes did you give?"
"The emerald gauze skirt has a little emerald hairpin."
Lan Qiduo thought about it for a long time and didn't think about what the emerald gauze skirt looked like, there were too many of her clothes, and there was Xiao Tuping to take care of it, and she never cared about clothing.
"You can do it as you see fit!"
Sure enough, at about three o'clock (9:45 in the morning), the outside had already begun to report: "Your Highness, the second aunt and grandmother of the Tian family outside ask to see you." ”
"Invite people to the West Flower Hall."
There is a flower hall specially used to receive guests on the side of Lan Qiduo's Forgotten Worry Pavilion, and there is a small door in the Forget Worry Pavilion that can also be passed directly, so the distance is very close, and she began to change her clothes when people came: "This Aunt Tian is also very attentive, it has been nearly two hours since she came here from Xiliang Mansion, and she is here now!" ”
"But not everyone is like Lord Yang, dare not take Her Royal Highness the princess in their eyes!"
Who will have a good impression of the man who flirts with the girl's family, Yang Sanye is also unlucky, what he used to do was fine, but now it is simply a black history that he can't wash away in his life! But soon Xiao Tuping knew that Lord Yang was not the only one who dared not to put the princess in his eyes.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess has arrived!"
There was a little girl's crisp and pleasant voice, Tian Shuqing was still nervous in the end, and quickly knelt down and buried her head low: "The woman knocks on Her Royal Highness the Princess, Her Royal Highness the Princess Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose!" ”
"Show the second aunt and grandmother of the Tian family."
"The women don't dare."
"Sit down!"
Tian Shuqing dared to say anything more when he heard this, and he only dared to sit on the chair for a third of the time.
"How long did you have breakfast when you came here early in the morning?"
"If you go back to the princess, you have already eaten it when you go out in the morning!"
"That's just right, I'll have lunch with Hongu later."
"Your Highness Xie raises love." (To be continued.) )
