On the afternoon of this day, Sister Hui was about to go over the plan she had thought about how to let Brother Xuan worship a famous teacher so that she would not be so obsessed by the old lady, and made up her mind to implement it after returning from the Dingbei Hou Mansion, but unexpectedly, the ink painting came in mysteriously and completely disrupted her mind.

"Are you saying that the third aunt of such a big day was actually punished to kneel in front of the stone steps of the old lady's Shoukang Hall?" Sister Hui asked again, and the book in her hand was snapped in front of the water willow case because she was too anxious.

No wonder she was so surprised, just because although Qiao's is not as favored by the old lady as Xiao Li, she is a person who knows the times very well, no matter when, her face can always support the old lady, and she will never let the old lady pinch the handle, that is, the old lady wants to yell at her twice to relieve her boredom, but she can only roar twice, and she can't set off the wind and waves. Now that he can be punished to kneel in front of the court, it is indeed puzzling news.

"Miss, there is another matter here, I also heard from the third-class maid who kept vigil outside the old lady last night, she said that the old lady seemed to have a big dispute with the Hou Ye that night, and faintly mentioned the marriage of the eldest lady, and asked the Hou Ye if it was Mrs. Hou's idea to marry the eldest lady so casually." The ink painting took a few steps closer and whispered in Sister Hui'er's ear.

Sister Hui sighed again, I was born to be useful, although the ink painting jumped out of a bit, but even a sprinkler can tell her such a thing, it is obvious that the popularity is indeed good.

"Miss, just watch this matter, don't snoop on it." Although the ink painting was spoken in Sister Hui'er's ear, the voice was not small at all, so that Qiu Ju, who was guarding the attendant in the house, listened to everything.

Sister Hui waved her hand indifferently, "Now Mother Zhou has taken the ink book and the ink qin to get the monthly case of our yard, and Mother Wang has gone to make me an osmanthus sheep **, just the three of us, it's okay, so let the ink painting talk about it." ”

She was really curious about this matter, Qiao Shi had always been able to bear it, and she really couldn't think of what made her so angry with the old lady for a while.

The ink painting got Sister Hui'er's permission, and her eyes became excited, just like seeing a new dress that was very worthy of her, and the whole person was full of brilliance.

"Miss is right, and the slave will go beyond the norm to say a few more words."

The corners of Qiu Ju's mouth twitched, and the little girl also knew that she had said a lot. But he didn't say anything more, but thoughtfully took a low machine and put it at Sister Hui'er's feet. Seeing this, Mo Qin smiled and sat down, cleared his throat and began to speak.

It turned out that Qiao took Sister Jing and Sister Yan back to her parents' house yesterday and did not return for a day.

At night, Hou Ye greeted the old lady according to the usual practice, because although Hou Ye was very filial and talented, a cold face was not as happy as the old lady of the fourth master. The mother and son originally finished talking about all the matters in the court and the family today, and by the way, they talked about the stupid things that Chu Jinli had done after the aftermath had been completed, and the Hou Ye could go back, but unexpectedly, the Hou Ye not only took the initiative to stay in Shoukang Hall for dinner last night, but also chatted with the old lady very enthusiastically for two hours after dinner.

Although the old lady was a little puzzled about this son's abnormality, she was happy in her heart.

She was about to say intimately that her son could go back to rest first, and she was also going to bed, but when she saw her son suddenly kneeling on the ground, she kowtowed and said: "Mother, my son has found a good family for Sister Yan, and consulted Qin Tianjian, now it is spring, the beginning of everything, and the eighteenth day of next month is a good day to get married, and I want to discuss with my mother whether it is feasible." ”

The old lady's heart, which was still hot, was completely cold in an instant, and a pair of sharp eyes swept the cold-faced son back and forth for half an hour, and then said slowly: "What the child is looking at must be a good relative, tell me which prince and son it is." ”

Speaking of the word "prince", it was squeezed out of his teeth. Rao is Chu Jinzhang has always had big ideas in the court, because he is a filial son, he heard that his mother was angry at this time, and he was a little bottomless in his heart. But when he thought of the prosperity of Anning Houfu in the future, that uneasiness was quickly run away from the clouds.

"It is the second son of the Liu family, the secretary of the ministry, and last year Enke, the emperor personally awarded the Jishi."

Chu Jinzhang is a man in the end, and what he values is the qualifications and prospects of his future life. The old lady is a woman who has devoted her life to the struggle for the back house, and her favor for power and wealth has always been what she can see in front of her.

Sure enough, the old lady spoke again, and her voice was a little colder: "Although this dynasty strictly ordered non-Shu Jishi not to enter the Hanlin, and non-Hanlin not to enter the cabinet, but our sister Yan is the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion, and she has never suffered half a cent since she was a child, and her food and clothing have always been the best for her. ”

"Yes"

Chu Jinzhang was about to argue, but was interrupted by the old lady who slapped the Nanmu Buddha beads on the armrest, "Don't tell me anything, after a few years, you will be the wife of the cabinet, and what if you are the first wife, then the Liu family is a big family." Not to mention the troubles of the family, that is, Liu Shangshu's family is also four generations in the same house, Sister Yan is just a ** milk when she marries, you are a man who doesn't understand the twists and turns of the back house, and your wife doesn't understand either? ”

Well, after listening to the ink painting for a long time, I finally got to the protagonist. Even Qiu Ju, who didn't agree with the ink painting, showed some curiosity on his face.

"Hou Ye was speechless by the old lady's series of questions, and after half an hour he looked at the old lady and said, 'But mother, Liu Shangshu is a close disciple of Yan Ge Lao, and he has always been kind, if we can help the five princes win over Yan Ge Lao, it will be a great achievement.' Mo Hua lowered his voice and learned Chu Jinzhang's tone and spoke.

Sister Hui thought that if one day this ancient mansion could not be mixed, she could go out of the house with ink paintings to find a teahouse, set up a stage, and talk about storytelling, which is a way to make money.

She looked at the ink painting here and thought wildly, and the ink painting over there was unaware, and continued to say: "The old lady listened to the words of the Hou Ye, but she sneered three times on her face, and said, 'Son, I know what your idea is, but I just want to let our Hou Mansion stand above the other Hou Mansions, you have such ambitions, but you have miscalculated, marrying a Liu family to help the five princes lead the line of the old pavilion is a great achievement, in the future, the five princes will be grateful, but it is not as strong as our own family, let the five princes come to cling to us." ’”

"Hou Ye asked what the old lady meant, and the old lady said"

Speaking of this, he glanced at the direction of Sister Yan'er's yard, and then turned around, this time he really whispered in Sister Hui'er's ear, and Qiu Ju also had to come over to listen to it.

"The old lady said, if the eldest lady marries the five princes directly, and then the five princes ascend the throne, our Hou Mansion will be the descendants."

It seems that the old lady wants to emulate the old queen mother Liu Jia, although she is a woman, she is still a concubine, but this vision and resourcefulness are indeed very comparable.

Chu Jinzhang was also dazzled by this idea for a while, and for a while, the thousands of scenery of the Liu family passed half in his mind, and he had to say that it was indeed tempting.

But he remembered his wife's emotion before going to bed last night: "Our sister Yan is a straight and innocent person, the old lady is well raised, and she will definitely be matched with a husband who can handle and love her in the future." ”

Qiao's words were like a mallet, smashing his dream of shining the lintel.

Chu Jinzhang is Sister Yan's father in the end, Sister Yan's temperament is very clear to him, not to mention outsiders, even to his father, he can't say a few good words, the five princesses and princesses can't talk about whether they can climb up, but they say that in the future, Sister Yan will become the queen and will bring the family tired, but this is absolutely impossible.

Therefore, there was his gentle dissuasion and tough words to marry Sister Yan into the Liu family, the old lady has been tough all her life, so she is naturally tougher, and she has the sentence "I haven't killed you yet, you don't want to think" that they heard in the yard last night.
