242 Concubinage (4)

Li gently stroked Mingxian: "You are still young now, you don't understand, you will understand in the future." You persuade your mother to look away. Then he hugged Mingxian, and the Queen Mother gave Duan Zhirui the four beauties. The people of the capital also knew, and everything in the palace was remembered by the people. Zhou couldn't help but be a little angry, how could this queen mother give Duan Zhirui four beauties in a good manner.

Even if it is given to four beauties, how could Duan Zhirui ask for it. Zhou saw that the relationship between Duan Zhirui and He Songzhu was very good, and Duan Zhirui actually accepted it. Hearing that she had also entered an aunt's yard, He Songping hurriedly persuaded Zhou: "Mother, don't be impulsive now, we don't know if it's true?" Zhou's face was flat: "I don't know the truth yet, it's like this now, how can I say it's not true."

You see what the people have said, how can I calm down when it comes out like this. How much suffering your third sister has suffered, now it's okay, no, I'm going to take your third sister and Mingxian back. can afford to support your third sister and Mingxian. "The Zhou family is now strong for the mother, and He Songping can't pull the Zhou family. You can only go to the Pingyang Hou Mansion with the Zhou family impulsively, and you can't stop the Zhou family, so you can go directly.

When I arrived at the door, I met Li Yanran, dressed in a rainbow-like colorful carved silk smoke and haze Lingluo dress, with gorgeous colors, light and soft. The wide water sleeves are fluttering, like colorful wings when they are unfolded, and the huge skirt sways to the ground, and when they turn, they flutter like floating clouds. There are a few small and delicate jade Ling'er tied at the end of the waist with a ribbon, which is clear and refreshing when dancing, and it is very good, and there are three pairs of jasper hairpins on the hairpin.

There is a string of pearls hanging from the end, and the jade is Lantian jasper. Verdant and lustrous, pearl is the South China Sea moon pearl, white and bright, streamer, more set off the person elegant and dusty, noble and graceful. Gently moving, the pearl curtain swayed and moved, and the wind appeared, and when it danced, it swirled up, like a silver curtain surrounding. The long strand of pearls swayed and touched the cheek. Warm and smooth. Of course, Li Yanran didn't come alone.

came with the matchmaker invited by Li Rufeng, and the matchmaker met Zhou and He Songping. I couldn't help but admire, the general is really blessed, Zhou is wearing a lilac plate collar and narrow sleeves. It is inlaid with purple patterns. The waist is tied with a soft vermicelli cigarette into a beautiful bow. It shows a slender figure, and it also gives people an elegant and noble feeling. Bun and mist. The diagonally inserted gold box is inverted with a weeping lotus hairpin, and the silver tassel set with diamonds is shining.

Qing Dai'e eyebrows, bright eyes, jade fingers and arms, thin waist and snow skin, limbs are fragrant, and lotus socks. A light purple Pingluo skirt, long and dragged to the ground, without a single pattern, only a few half-opened oleanders embroidered with red silk thread on the cuffs, milky white silk girdle, and Luo Cui soft yarn in hand. Hang a small sachet and wear a green jade chain, and it looks like a willow, and these days Zhou's cultivation in the capital is also good.

The matchmaker was just about to speak, but was interrupted by Li Yanran. "Aunt Zhou, where are you and Sister Ping going?" The Zhou family was also embarrassed to say that he would go to the Pingyang Hou Mansion, and He Songping followed the Zhou family. Anyway, the Zhou family is going to the Pingyang Hou Mansion, He Songping is worried about the Zhou family, and now Li Yanran is here. Thinking that the Zhou family would also ease his mood, in fact, He Songping was not convinced, I heard that the Zhou family also persuaded He Songmei to take a concubine for her eldest brother-in-law Cui Moran.

But when it comes to the third brother-in-law, it doesn't work. Zhou's really has two standards, in fact, Zhou's thinks that He Songzhu worked so hard with Mingxian that he was taken off by Duan Zhirui. Now that Duan Zhirui has remarried He Songzhu, he doesn't know how to cherish it. Then the Zhou family brought He Songzhu and Mingxian back, and it happened that these days, Zhou and He Songping also seemed lonely and bored in the house.

I believe that with He Songzhu and Mingxian, it should be much better. The matchmaker received Li Yanran's eyes and hurriedly spoke: "Miss Zhou, can we come in?" "Miss Zhou, Zhou hasn't heard this name for a long time. hurriedly let Li Yanran and the matchmaker enter the door, and He Songping was also confused. The matchmaker came to explain the intention, that is, Li Rufeng wanted to marry Zhou, and Zhou's mouth was wide open, no!

He Songping was also dumbfounded, Li Rufeng wants to marry Zhou, so won't he and Li Yanran become sisters? He Songping had always hoped that someone could accompany the Zhou family, and when they all got married, the Zhou family would be left alone, and now Li Rufeng sent someone to the door to propose marriage. Zhou's delay in squeaking is too funny! Li Yanran hurriedly walked to Zhou's side and pestered Zhou: "Aunt Zhou, you agreed."

You don't know how much I like you if you could be my mother. That's really great, Aunt Zhou, okay? Staring at Zhou longingly, Zhou didn't know that Li Yanran liked him so much. Zhou opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't say anything. Now that the Zhou family has not digested it, Li Rufeng wants to marry himself. Zhou had to think about it, and the matchmaker left first.

Li Yanran pestered Zhou: "Aunt Zhou, my father is really good, since my mother died in childbirth when she gave birth to me, my father has never had any other concubines." Take care of me alone with peace of mind, Aunt Zhou, you are also alone now, I like you very much, you should consider my father and give my father a chance, okay? He Songping hurriedly walked over, "Sister Li, don't worry about this matter, you let my mother think about it." ”

Li Yanran pursed her lips, and Zhou said softly: "Yanran, Aunt Zhou knows that you like Aunt Zhou very much, but you have to let Zhou think about it, okay?" Zhou first perfunctory Li Yanran, Li Yanran nodded helplessly and went back. Li Rufeng was looking forward to Li Yanran and the matchmaker coming back in the house, but the matchmaker said that the Zhou family did not agree. Li Rufeng's face was not very good, and the matchmaker hurriedly said: "General, this is also a good thing."

At least you didn't refuse, General, you waited patiently for the bride to promise you! This matter is wrapped up in the slave maid, and the slave and maid will definitely do it properly for you, so that you can marry the bride as soon as possible. Li Rufeng gave the matchmaker a silver reward, and the matchmaker happily left General Li's mansion. He Songping stared at Zhou, "Mother, in fact, several of our sisters have also discussed. There must be the right person, and we will not object.

General Li we know each other month, and he is kind and kind, mother, or do you think about it? As soon as He Songping's words were finished, Zhou made a straight face: "Don't say such a thing in the future." He Songping asked in surprise: "Mother, what's the matter with you." Why didn't you mention it? The eldest sister and the third sister will definitely let you agree if they know about it. Mother, don't be stubborn and think too much. ”

Although Zhou separated from He Shouchun, he never thought of being with other men. is still married, and the Zhou family has accepted several daughters for the rest of their lives. Now that there will be a matchmaker to propose to him, Zhou was a little shocked. However, after the shock, Zhou will not agree. Zhou was going to Pingyang Hou's Mansion to help He Songzhu, but now Zhou was not in the mood to go, so he went back to the house directly.

He Songping, who was staying, stomped her feet. No way. This time it was a great opportunity. He Songping wanted to hurry up to find He Songzhu and tell He Songzhu. The two discussed and came up with ideas together, He Songzhu saw He Songping in the hall, He Songping hurriedly walked in front of He Songzhu: "Third sister." I have something important to tell you. He Songping immediately came to the courtyard. smiled and said, "Fifth sister." What's wrong? ”

He Songping took He Songzhu's hand, "Third sister, do you know? A matchmaker came to the door today. "It's for you to propose. Of course, you have to think more about it yourself. If it's really suitable, you let your mother agree. Saying that, He Songzhu couldn't help but gently stroke He Songping's hair, and He Songping suddenly laughed. The laughing branches trembled, and He Songzhu's brows tightened.

"Fifth sister, what are you laughing at, do you think what the third sister said is wrong?" As soon as He Songzhu's words were finished, He Songping restrained her smile. "Third sister, I didn't mean that, you know, that's not a marriage proposal for me. It's for my mother. Proposing to the Zhou family, He Songzhu was a little stunned. There are still people who will come to propose marriage to the Zhou family, and He Songzhu is still concerned about who is optimistic about the Zhou family and wants to marry the Zhou family.

"Who?" He Songzhu asked the doubts in his heart, "Third sister, you may not guess, who do you also know?" People He Songzhu knew, He Songping didn't follow He Songzhu in circles, and took He Songzhu's hand: "Third sister, I'll tell you, Sister Li brought the matchmaker with her, you know!" "That won't be Li Rufeng!" Could it be General Li? "Third sister, you really guessed correctly, it's General Li.

Third sister, what do you think, General Li came to propose. Do you think my mother should say yes? "In fact, He Songzhu's current idea is very simple, as long as someone is willing to accompany the Zhou family. It depends on why Li Rufeng wants to marry Zhou, whether he simply wants to live with Zhou, or whether he has other purposes. He Songzhu will not follow He Songping, and simply thinks that Zhou should agree.

He Songping saw that He Songzhu was a little hesitant, and couldn't help but speak curiously: "Third sister, don't you think the general is very good, don't you agree?" He Songping stared at He Songzhu expectantly, but don't. He Songping is also counting on following Li Yanran to become a sister, "Fifth sister, don't be so optimistic about this matter first." You don't know the curve yet, you listen to the words of the third sister, don't persuade your mother to marry the general when you go back now.

Don't object, you wait for me to think about it first, and I'll give you the answer. Don't move easily, otherwise, it will cause trouble, remember? He Songzhu told He Songping in front of him uneasily, and He Songping also nodded: "Third sister, you can rest assured, I know, I won't come nonsense." Then I'll go back first, you remember to check it out earlier, I'll wait for your good news. ”

After saying that, He Songping should also leave, and now he is in the Cold War with Duan Zhirui. What should He Songzhu do, go to visit the general in person, definitely not. In this way, you can know what the general thinks, but now it's not good to go by yourself. In the end, He Songzhu thought about it and went to find his eldest brother-in-law Cui Moran and went to the Dingguo Marquis Mansion. When Duan Zhirui heard that He Songzhu was out of the house, he was not at ease, so he sent someone to protect He Songzhu.

As for He Songmei's relationship with Cui Moran now, it is not good, although Cui Moran said that she has taken a concubine. But if he didn't go to Aunt Bai and Aunt Lian's yard, he was much better than Duan Zhirui. Hearing what He Songmei said, He Songzhu couldn't help sighing: "Eldest sister, why do you have to wronged yourself like this!" You can tell your eldest brother-in-law why you should bury yourself in your heart alone, eldest sister, you are too stupid. ”

He Songmei shook her head: "Third sister, I'm really fine, I don't feel bitter." By the way, third sister, why are you here, is there anything else? He Songmei really guessed correctly, He Songzhu gently took He Songmei's jade hand: "Eldest sister, you think about it carefully, follow the eldest brother-in-law." I believe that with the eldest brother-in-law's liking for you, I won't not be incomprehensible, think about some, okay? ”

He Songmei chuckled: "You! It's just a heart that can't be, okay, I promise you. He Songzhu breathed a sigh of relief: "Eldest sister, do you know? Today, a matchmaker came to the door to propose to her mother. "To Zhou. He Songmei opened her mouth wide and didn't squeak for a long time. He Songzhu also knew that He Songmei was shocked, and he was too. But who would want to marry the Zhou family, and the Zhou family is also in the house.

I only occasionally go to Wenxiang Pavilion, could it be that someone has taken a fancy to the Zhou family and wants to really marry the Zhou family. Or had other plans, He Songmei hurriedly stared at He Songzhu: "Third sister, who is it?" "Eldest sister, we also know this person, it is the general. Do you remember? "General Li Rufeng. How could He Songmei forget. He Songmei nodded: "Naturally, do you still remember, is the general going to marry his mother?" ”

"Hmmm! Eldest sister, do you think my mother should agree? He Songzhu opened his mouth to ask He Songmei, and He Songmei pondered. In the end, he said conservatively: "We can't make decisions for my mother." It's up to the mother to think about herself. But if my mother really wants to marry the general. We'll support it. But if the general had other ideas, I thought that my mother might not be more comfortable than now, and sometimes one person's life is more comfortable than two.

Third sister. What do you think? Since getting married, He Songmei's thoughts have not been so naΓ―ve. Before, they even took He Songping and said that they wanted the Zhou family to marry. Find a companion to live a good life, but the general is a wealthy family after all, and the Zhou family once married. also gave birth to their five daughters, and more importantly, the general had no other ulterior motives.

He Songmei and He Songzhu are still unclear, maybe Zhou's life alone is also good. Although they are not by Zhou's side, they don't have to worry about other aspects of Zhou's family, there are maids who will serve Zhou's well. "Eldest sister, I understand what you said, then let's wait and see how it changes, so as not to respond to all changes." He Songzhu smiled lightly, "Third sister, I followed you to think of a piece, then we will wait quietly." ”

The two sisters talked about other things, He Songmei couldn't hold on anymore, and was a little sleepy. was about to fall asleep, and when He Songzhu was leaving, he gave He Songmei ten bottles of spring water, "Eldest sister, I specially asked the master to come, you continue to drink, don't forget." "He Songzhu's concern, He Songmei will keep it in mind." You can rest assured, when my fetal position is stable, I will go back to see my mother.

When the time comes, our sisters will discuss it again, and you should go back quickly. Reluctantly left He Songmei's house, and saw Cui Moran when he left the yard. He Songzhu asked Cui Moran to say goodbye, thinking about what He Songmei told him about taking a concubine. He Songmei's personality won't tell Cui Moran, let's talk about it yourself! "Brother-in-law, in fact, there are some things I shouldn't have said, but if I don't say it, maybe you won't know it from my eldest sister's mouth for the rest of your life."

He Songzhu's words made Cui Moran stunned, and then looked at He Songzhu. "What does the princess want to say, just say it." "Do you think my eldest sister is willing to give you a concubine? Have you never wondered why? "You mean that your eldest sister is unwilling to give me a concubine, but she has to give me a concubine?" Cui Moran grabbed the meaning of He Songzhu's words, "Brother-in-law, I knew you were very smart, and I guessed it at once." ”

He Songzhu smiled indifferently, Cui Moran did know. It must be the Ming family, who else in the mansion will coerce He Songmei to take a concubine for himself, except for the Ming family, there is no second person. "Thank you, Princess." "You're welcome, brother-in-law, now that you know, you should know what to do. My eldest sister is also very weak now, and she can't stand the stimulation. He Songzhu reminded Cui Moran by the way.

Cui Moran nodded seriously: "Please rest assured, princess, I know what to do." If it is useful in the future, I will ask the princess to speak. "Now that Cui Moran has spoken, it is not easy for He Songzhu to refuse." Actually, the eldest brother-in-law, now there is one thing I want to ask the eldest brother-in-law for help. Although Cui Moran said that he was curious that He Songzhu would not let Duan Zhirui help and let him help, he hurriedly said: "The princess, please speak." ”

"Today, the general Li Rufeng sent a matchmaker to the house to propose marriage to his mother, and the eldest sister also knew. I wanted to ask my eldest brother-in-law to find out why the general wanted to marry his mother. I believe that it should not be difficult for the eldest brother-in-law. "Obviously, Cui Moran was stunned, Li Rufeng wanted to marry He Songmei's mother Zhou." Don't worry, I will investigate as soon as possible. "If there is a brother-in-law, then I will leave." Soon He Songzhu left the Dingguo Marquis Mansion.

Cui Moran still checked Li Rufeng's affairs first, so that he could follow He Songmei to speak. In the evening, Duan Zhirui came directly to Cui Moran's study in the Dingguo Mansion, and Cui Moran did not have any suspicions. Today, He Songzhu asked himself to investigate, which means that there are some contradictions between Duan Zhirui and He Songzhu. Or some small friction, "Why does Duan Shizi have time to come to my study, it's really a rare guest, a rare guest!" ”

Cui Moran laughed at Duan Zhirui in front of him, Duan Zhirui had a cold face: "You don't seem to be much better, I heard that Cui Shizi has recently accepted two new aunts, and the country is beautiful." "That's not as good as Duan Shizi's good fortune, the Queen Mother personally gave four beautiful concubines." Cui Moran would not let go of the opportunity to ridicule Duan Zhirui, Duan Zhirui was very angry in his heart, otherwise he would have tested He Songzhu.

I have already rejected the Queen Mother, and now it is really difficult for Qihu to fall. It's a pity that He Songzhu still ignored himself, Duan Zhirui had a straight face: "What did Zhu'er tell you today?" The guards sent didn't dare to approach He Songzhu too much, and said that He Songzhu had been talking with He Songmei in the house for an hour. Before leaving, Cui Moran also said a lot of things in He Songmei's courtyard, and on He Songmei's side, Duan Zhirui naturally wouldn't ask. (To be continued.) )
