Chapter 34 Entering the Study
The old marquis took Mingzhu home, and in the carriage, the old marquis looked at his little granddaughter with rolling eyes, and asked, "Did you mention yƬ and let Zhou Li learn martial arts with me?" Why? ā
Mingzhu rolled her eyes and wanted to fool her, but when she saw her grandfather's majestic eyes, she sighed and told the truth, "I think it's good for our family to take him, the queen mother said that the emperor trusts King Rong very much, and he is a brother in the end." He often told me not to let me get too close to the princesses and princes, and not to be too close to anyone. In that ......, Zhou Li and I didn't play with the princes, we were not on both sides, just playing against us. As soon as I said this, the Queen Mother took my words, explaining that what I did was right, otherwise the Queen Mother would have blocked back. She tilted her head in thought, then nodded earnestly, "I'm not wrong." She insisted.
The old marquis looked at his granddaughter deeply, let out a long breath, raised his head and laughed, "Hahahaha!" Good granddaughter, grandfather will take you to eat delicious food. ā
Mingzhu was happy all of a sudden, and the monkey pressed him on his grandfather, "Really, I want to eat sheep and scorpions, and I want to eat steamed buns." ā
"Okay, eat them all, go to the market." The old marquis happily hugged his granddaughter, knocked on the wall of the car and commanded.
"Grandfather, did I do the right thing?" Mingzhu opened her big round eyes, and waited for a compliment.
The old marquis deliberately kept a straight face, "How can you make your own decisions about such a big thing?" What if the emperor gets tired of our family? ā
Mingzhu pursed her lips and smiled proudly, "No, I don't count what I said, how can I take it seriously." Besides, the emperor is filial, and the queen mother has always restrained the Shangguan family, and our family has never done anything that disgusted the emperor, how can I be angry for my hairy child, the belly is too small, isn't it. But the opportunity is fleeting, now is the time when Zhou Li and King Rong are distressed, our family can hand over an olive branch, King Rong must remember it in his heart, what is the meaning of icing on the cake, isn't our family just trying to be a peaceful wife. She stiffened her neck, and she had a plan in her heart.
The old marquis's eyebrows became brighter and more joyful, and he patted Mingzhu's head, "As long as you are filial to the Queen Mother, I am not dead yet, so you don't have to worry about it." You just have to eat, drink and have fun, and you are not afraid of becoming a little old lady if you are so wide. ā
"Grandfather, how can I be a little old lady, I am the most beautiful. You haven't rewarded me yet. "The pearl is not followed, the cow stock sugar seems to be coquettish, and the children's words are soft and sweet, so that the old marquis seems to have drunk honey wine, and he is drunk in his heart.
"Okay, reward you, go back and reward you with that ancient inkstone, you have to practice calligraphy well." The old marquis was happy, and he rewarded his granddaughter with an ancient inkstone in the previous dynasty.
"Hee-hee! Grandfather Xie, I like that inkstone the most. Mingzhu smiled happily, and the laughter was as cheerful as a silver bell, which made people can't help but smile.
Not only got the gift, but the old marquis also took the pearl to the most prosperous street to play, gnawed on the mutton bones, ate big buns and belly, and the two of them were full of oil, and also brought Huangqiao baked cakes and sugar gourd miscellaneous snacks, saying that they would take it back to their grandmothers and sisters to taste, and also ordered the Li family's famous sauce beef, and the suckling pigeon went back to add a dish to the father and second uncle.
The old marquis was happy, and he also responded to Mingzhu's request, went to the overpass to see the juggling, and the pearl of music slapped vigorously, generous grandfather's indignation, and shouted reward, haha grandfather paid silver.
After playing until it was almost dark, the old marquis said: "Good girl, it's time to go home, it's going to be dark." ā
Mingzhu raised his little head and looked at the sky, and then saw that the little guy was carrying a large bag with both hands, barely satisfied, and nodded slightly, "Forget it, next time I come out to play, go home." The wave of the little hand was quite arrogant.
The old marquis looked at his granddaughter's little adult's appearance, and he was so happy that he took Mingzhu back to his house in a carriage.
As soon as I got back, people waited at the second gate, "Oops! If you don't come back, old lady, the minions will send someone out to find you. The old lady was in a hurry, thinking that something had happened to you in the palace. The housekeeper followed the old marquis and chattered.
After entering the house, the maids hurriedly got up, fetched water to wash, and changed into homely casual clothes.
"You old man, where have you gone, why haven't you come back for so long, and you haven't sent a letter to your family, is the emperor unhappy?" The old lady sat up, a look of anxiety on her face.
"Grandmother, we're going to the market, and I've brought you some delicious food, and I've brought snacks for my fathers." Mingzhu changed her clothes and washed her face, and ran out happily and threw herself into the old lady's arms.
"Oh my good girl, why are you running around with your grandfather, so happy to get a reward today?" When the old lady saw her little granddaughter come back, the smile on her face was a little more than usual, and her spirit was much brighter.
"Well, it's no big deal to enter the palace today, King Rong begged the emperor to let me help teach his son Zhou Li, this is still the job your granddaughter found for me, don't you ask me for a reward, and cheated my inkstone." The old marquis pointed to Mingzhu and joked with a smile.
"Really? Mingzhu is so capable? How could the emperor agree? The old lady also showed obvious surprise.
The old marquis described the cause and effect of the incident, and the old lady looked at Mingzhu with a more distressed look in her eyes, "Good behave, we don't have a son in our family who is not angry, you don't need to be so scheming, you just need to be filial to the Queen Mother." "My eyes are full of distress.
"This kid is precocious, and he can figure out a lot of things with half a claw, and it's really rare to have such a good opportunity! Follow me into the study in the future. "The old marquis made up his mind to treat Mingzhu as a sister-in-law, and generally equate it with education.
"I'm afraid that Huiji will be hurt!" The old lady hugged Mingzhu and groped gently.
"No, this child is a blessed one, you forgot that the master said that she is a good character who is rare and blessed with longevity, and a good upbringing will be a promising one in the future." The old marquis felt that his granddaughter did not have a face that died young
"My granddaughter won't enter the palace, I'll tell you." The old lady suddenly became sharp, and her eyebrows and eyes were a little sharper.
"Who said that I was going to send her into the palace, there is a queen mother, you still want to be long, don't dream. I don't have that idea at all, the eldest daughter of our family must be in the main room, and ordinary young talents are not qualified to marry my granddaughter. "The old marquis said in his heart, my granddaughter is qualified to be a princess, who can say for sure what the future will be.
"If you don't mean that, I'm relieved, I don't want anything else but to ask the children to be safe." The old lady's momentum softened.
"Don't worry, ask someone to clean up a yard in the front yard and come out, if it's better, pick a few capable subordinates to serve, don't ask for a maid. With Brother Li, our family will have a lot less risk in the future. My granddaughter is a little lucky star, and the road will be smoother in the future. The old marquis touched his head with a look of joy.
The old lady was also very happy, hugged Mingzhu and kissed her, "Obediently want to eat something, let them make it for you." ā
"I'm not hungry yet, let's have some soup in the evening, whatever soup I want, lighter." Mingzhu lazily crooked on the Rui Guifei couch, dozing off in a daze.
