Chapter 123: A Delaying Tactic
In the Zhenghai courtyard, Tian was lying on the couch, letting a maid take a beauty hammer and hammer his waist and legs.
As soon as the curtain opened, Zhao's mother's figure flashed in, blessed her body and asked for peace, and took the beauty hammer from the maid's hand, and personally served Tian.
The maid retreated with amusement.
"And how is the Lu clan doing?" Tian still closed his eyes, as if unintentionally asked.
Since Lian Chengmei advocated a thorough investigation of the premature birth, Qianning has been locked up for several days. Cui's and the others took turns to interrogate Yongmei Zhai's subordinates, and carefully inspected all the incense boys used by Lian Chengmei in the house, but they didn't find anything big.
There was no progress in the matter, the suspicion on Qianning was neither proven nor washed, and Tian did not open his mouth to release people, but Liu mentioned that he wanted to lift Qianning's grounding, but no one answered, so he had to give up.
originally thought that the Tian family had completely sacrificed Qianning to please the Lian family, who would have thought, but he secretly told Tianya to observe and listen to Yuxuan's movements, if someone was disrespectful to his master, he would definitely come to report.
Therefore, in the past few days, Zhao's mother has to report on Qianning's situation every day, and today is no exception.
"The eldest and youngest grandmother still followed the usual habits, eating and drinking every day, and in her spare time, she was playing and reading books, or she was strolling around the yard, and there was nothing abnormal in her speech and behavior. It's just that a few little maids couldn't hold their breath and complained a few words, but they were also scolded by the young grandmother. The young grandmother really didn't see any complaints. ”
Tian nodded, and there was a faint approving look on his face, "This Lu clan." It's a calm one. Unlike the Lian family, he will only do things according to his own petty temperament, and he has no consciousness of a clan woman. ”
This is not the first time Tian has praised Qianning. belittled Lian Chengmei, Zhao's mother was frightened from the beginning, and now she is in the habit, but she is secretly worried about Lian Chengmei, she has no children, and she has lost the favor of her elders, and the future will be more and more difficult. On the other hand, Qianning. Although the momentum has fallen on the surface, it has slowly won the appreciation of the Tian family, and I am afraid that it will not be outside the pool in the future. So. During this time, I listened to Yuxuan's heart, but I told Tianya that she had served the young grandmother, and she must not be lazy.
Fortunately, Tianya is a clever one. I didn't let myself worry about it at all. Thinking of this, Mother Zhao's words also added a little more to the maintenance of Qianning: "It's not, our son has been touching soft nails at Mrs. Shizi every time these days, you said, it is really rare to miss the old love like our son, and it is really rare to have affection and righteousness, but Mrs. Shizi does not know how to cherish it." It's been a long time, but I'm afraid that the heart of the son of the world will also be cold. ”
These days. Zhao Luoyan was given a lot of face by Lian Chengmei, although the Tian family did not see it with his own eyes, but since someone sent the news to him, it is impossible to say that he is not angry at all, how can he not pity his baby Jin Sun being subordinated like this, but now that the turmoil in the court is imminent, he has to rely on the power of his in-laws to find a stable position, and he has to endure it if he can't bear it.
Fortunately, Lu's daughter-in-law is sensible and did not make trouble at this juncture, otherwise, even Chengmei's side would not be able to appease her, and the family would not be at peace.
The more I think about it, the more I feel that Qianning is likable, but it's a pity that she has an identity......
"Listen to Yuxuan, but I have to serve well, and after a while, the matter will calm down, and it is naturally indispensable to be appeased. During this time, you have to bother staring a lot. ”
Mother Zhao naturally guessed that Qianning was just being locked up for a show, where did she dare not serve well. Lian Lian answered.
Qianning didn't know Tian's plan, but she didn't believe that the Hou Mansion would discredit the young grandmother who was marrying Ming Media so without evidence. Therefore, I have some confidence in my heart, and I am not in a hurry, so I still live my little life step by step.
Being able to hold your breath doesn't mean that your subordinates can stand it. Not to mention other people, even if it is dew, I can't hide the anxiety in my heart, and I take advantage of the time when the subordinates outside deliver food every day.
It's just that those subordinates dare to say anything, and they always hurriedly put down their meals and left.
On this day, Dew came in with a lunch box, her face was still as melancholy as ever, and she sighed while setting the dishes and chopsticks.
Qian Ning couldn't listen anymore, put down the book in her hand, and came over to help: "I said dew, if you continue to sigh like this, you will become an old lady, and when the time comes, it will be up to you to get married." ”
Lu glanced at Qianning angrily, "I don't know when I will be able to go out, where can I still think of getting married?" ”
"How can you not want to? Grandma, you are also very thoughtful in Su Ri, and you are not such a weak person who is bullied, why is this time silent, and it doesn't matter if you have been wronged or not? Dew said all the doubts in her heart.
Qian Ning didn't want to worry so much anymore, and pointed to the food on the table, "How do you think this meal compares to the past?" ”
Lu was stunned for a moment, thinking that Qianning was going to divert the topic again, so she replied angrily: "What else, six dishes and one soup, not good or bad." ”
Qian Ning snorted: "You also said, it's not good, it's not bad, if I was really wronged and given up, would those people in the kitchen still take these good meals and dishes to serve?" I'm afraid that someone told them not to fall into the trap for us. ”
Dew looked at the table of food, and suddenly realized, and her face turned from sadness to joy, "What grandma said is true." In the past, when the prince didn't come to listen to Yuxuan, the food was not a little worse than now, but now he is locked up, but he didn't snub us on the meal, it is conceivable that someone must support us. Those cooks, I know, the most to see the wind rudder. The more Lu said, the more confident she became, and finally smiled and took Qian Ning's hand: "Grandma, you said, this has been closed for a long time, is it time to let us out?" ”
Qian Ning was angry: "I don't know this...... I'm just afraid that I'll have to wait for Lian's to dissipate......"
The wind and waves of the Hou Mansion are slowly subsiding, Xu is Hou Mansion's posture is enough, and even the family is not too embarrassed, Zhao Luoyan's position is also quickly arranged, and he is arranged to do editing in the Hanlin Academy.
Although it is not a very oily position, it is close enough to the saint, besides, the Hanlin Academy is high, and they are all serious scholars, compared to the local officialdom, there are fewer twists and turns, and they are the most suitable for a straight-headed person like Zhao Luoyan.
The Hou Mansion was very satisfied with this arrangement, and they were also very grateful to the Lian family for their contribution, and ordered Zhao Luoyan to take Lian Chengmei to his father-in-law's house to thank him.
Lian Chengmei was still cold, ignoring Zhao Luoyan. Even his wife was anxious when she saw it, and took advantage of the fact that her lord took her son-in-law to the study to do a file of learning, and dragged Lian Chengmei to the house to talk about herself.
"You say you, why are you still so petty? The child is gone, aren't you sad to be a son-in-law? What's the use of you always having a cold face on him? When the time comes, his heart will be pushed outside, and it will be too late for you to cry, let alone have any more children. Mrs. Lian hated that iron could not become steel, and persuaded Lian Chengmei with a serious voice.
Lian Chengmei has heard this kind of words many times, and she has persuaded herself to think about it and accept and tolerate her mother-in-law's family, but when she thinks of the dead child, her heart throbs, "Mother, now like this, where am I still in the mood to have a child with him again?" The thought of children breaks my heart. ”
Even Mrs. Lian covered her hand, looking very sad, "How can my mother not know your mood?" At that time, your second brother was born not long ago, and I also made up my mind that I would never take care of your father again, and let him live happily with the concubine. However, after all, they are husband and wife, sharing honor and disgrace, where can they say that it will be broken? No, after a long time, he got used to it, it was okay for him to go to the concubine, to me, all in all, the position of the main room is always mine, and the concubines and daughters are also mine, those concubines and concubines, where can they cross over? When I think about it like this, my heart is wider, and I get along with your father more harmoniously than before, which is why I have you......"
Lian Chengmei's eyes seemed to be a little loose, and asked, "Mother, then you, do you no longer love your father?" If you love, how can you bear it? ”
"Love?" Mrs. Lian seemed to have heard a joke, "Which big family's patriarch is worthy of the word love?" Love, for people of our status, is too heavy to bear. You, just listen to your mother's words, take care of your body, deal with your relationship with your son-in-law, and have a few more children in the future, and you won't be afraid of any troubles. As he spoke, he patted Lian Chengmei's hand again, "Since you have chosen to marry into a family and be a housewife, you must have the consciousness of sacrificing your feelings." Those who talk about love are the behavior of concubines, and they can only get a place by relying on their husbands' love, but we don't need it. Come to think of it, you don't want to relegate yourself to the status of a concubine, do you? (To be continued.) )
