Chapter 239: The Wise Old Lady
The Yang family understood from Liu Qingsu's words that the people of the Liu Mansion might not go to Ziyuan. Although he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, Liu Qingsu took the initiative to invite the sisters of Wu'an Houfu after all, and he still took Wu'an Houfu to heart.
In fact, the Yang family also knows that the Zhuangzi here is the Seventh Prince, and there is also a Yushan eldest princess in the Zhuangzi, Liu Qingsu is not a person who can be the master of the house no matter what, and to put it bluntly, he can't be too prominent, after all, as the saying goes, a gun shoots a bird.
Originally, Liu Qingsu said this invitation, and the Yang family would definitely agree. Qi Yueling and Qi Yueting really miss Liu Qingsu very much. It's just that it's really inappropriate right now.
The Yang family came out alone this time because Qi Yueyan was gone, and he didn't know what kind of demon the girl had committed, but she even recognized the Seven Princes, and Zhuangzi, who entered the Seven Princes this time, was like losing his soul. Yang felt that something was wrong, and warned her a few times, and also knocked on the people waiting around Qi Yueyan to serve Qi Yueyan wholeheartedly today.
Who knew that Qi Yueyan excused herself to be flattering, and then after a while, the maid next to Qi Yueyan came over and said to Mama Yang with an anxious face that Qi Yueyan was gone.
It wasn't until the Yang family heard that they called the maid to the front in person, and they overheard someone talking about holding a banquet in the Zhuangzi of the Seven Princes on the way, but the Seven Princes had just arrived at the mansion at this time, and it didn't take long for Qi Yueyan to fall, and then said that her feet hurt and asked the maid to go back to report, she followed slowly behind, and when the maid turned back, Qi Yueyan was gone.
Yang knew that something was wrong with this from the little girl's mouth.
So the Yang family came out to find Qi Yueyan in person, and they didn't want to make too much trouble. It's not good for other people in the house to know, especially Qi Yueting's girl seems to like Liu Qingsu very much, plus Qi Yueting has been more pained by the Yang couple since she was a child because she is young, so she is relatively simple when she encounters a lot of trouble.
Second, the Yang family knew that if Qi Yueting knew that Bao Qi was not Qi, she would say that she would leak her mouth in front of Liu Qingsu. At that time, it is estimated that Wu'an Houfu and Liu Mansion will be embarrassed, and Liu Qingsu is estimated to be even more sad.
The Yang family is now just secretly hoping that Qi Yueyan is lost.
The Yang family, who met everyone in the Liu Mansion, was actually very embarrassed, but he had to say hello. After all, the in-law relationship between the two governments is there.
At this time, Liu Qingsu's invitation made Yang feel more and more unnatural.
So Yang said to Liu Qingsu: "I received Qingsu's kind aunt, but this Zhuangzi is too big, I'm afraid that something will happen to these girls and I won't find anyone for a while." When you come back from Zhuangzi, let a few of your sisters go to the house to disturb you. ”
To be honest, Liu Qingsu actually wanted to hear such an answer, even the old lady also hoped for it. The old lady really has something to ask Liu Qingsu.
But when Liu Qingsu heard Yang's answer, he faintly felt that something was wrong.
Because Liu Qingsu felt a little strange, Liu Qingsu deliberately looked at Yang. found that Liu Qingsu, the maid who was now following the Yang family, felt that it looked like Liuli in front of his second cousin Qi Yueyan.
Suddenly, Liu Qingsu felt that there must be something inside. But at the moment, she couldn't think about it.
After Liu Qingsu and Yang said goodbye and separated, they led the people of Liu Mansion to Qixia Garden.
Along the way, not only Liu Yunxiang and Liu Lingzhi were amazed, but even the old lady was also amazed by the scenery in Zhuangzi.
As soon as she arrived at Qixia Garden, Liu Yunxiang said: "Second sister, this Zhuangzi is really beautiful, and the place where you live is even more beautiful."
Liu Qingsu said: "I also think this Zhuangzi is very beautiful."
Liu Yunxiang saw Liu Qingsu answer. And because Qixia Yuan was full of people from the Liu Mansion, Liu Yunxiang forgot a little about her sense of proportion and said: "The second sister will also be the owner of this Zhuangzi sooner or later." It should be nice for us to come and have fun at home. ”
Liu Qingsu lowered his head and didn't know how to answer for a while.
The old lady said directly to Liu Yunxiang: "Four girls." Don't forget to be measured! ”
Liu Yunxiang hurriedly realized that what she had just said was extremely inappropriate.
At this moment, Zizhu came in and said that the kitchen had brought some pastries.
Liu Qing thought it was arranged by the eldest princess of Yushan, and his heart became more and more grateful for the arrangement of the eldest princess of Yushan.
"Grandmother, let's sit down and rest first."
Only then did the old lady say to everyone in the Liu Mansion: "You all sit down first, since it is the grace of the eldest princess of Yushan, it is good to sit here and rest." ”
The old lady specially named the grace of the eldest princess of Yushan. This is also a response to Liu Yunxiang's words.
Speaking of the old lady, the old lady's words are also true, Liu Qingsu can only live in Qixia Garden because he has to serve the eldest princess of Yushan.
After thinking about it, the old lady said, "If you feel bored, you can walk around this Qixia Garden, but don't go out." You elders should be optimistic about the two little girls, there are many people today, just. Don't let them go out to see it, save nothing but mistakes. ”
Liu Qingsu first said to Qingzhi and Liuhong: "Qingzhi Liuhong, you also have to take care of it." ”
After that, Liu Qingsu said to the people in the Liu Mansion: "Mother, aunt, and two younger sisters, if there is any need, I will order them." ”
Liu Yunxiang couldn't sit still for a long time, and she had already pulled Xue's arm and said, "Mother, let's go out for a walk?" ”
The Xue family and the Yu family and the Liu family were not stupid, and they felt that the old lady might have something to ask Liu Qingsu, so they all went out under Liu Yunxiang's coquettishness.
Suddenly only the old lady and Liu Qingsu were left in the house.
The old lady glanced at Liu Qingsu and said, "Today, the Autumn Garden Meeting, do you know what arrangements the eldest princess of Yushan and the Seventh Prince have?" ”
Liu Qingsu shook his head and said, "This granddaughter doesn't know. However, the granddaughter felt that the eldest princess of Yushan and the seventh prince should have some arrangements. It is said that this autumn garden party was also held in a hurry, but the granddaughter felt that the eldest princess of Yushan and the seventh prince were not in a hurry at all. ”
Liu Qingsu was still afraid that the old lady would not understand what she meant, so Liu Qingsu continued: "This morning, it was almost time at the end of Duchen, and Qingzhi saw that Zhuangzi began to prepare things. ”
The old lady looked puzzled after hearing this, and then said with a slightly heavy face: "Then do you know that the queen's will yesterday said that everyone in Zhuangzi had to pay the entrance fee today." How much to pay depends on everyone's hearts for the eldest princess of Yushan and the Seven Princes? ”
Liu Qingsu was also stunned when he heard this.
What's going on? Isn't this a big bargain?
Liu Qingsu said to the old lady anxiously for a while: "The granddaughter doesn't know this, but the queen mother doesn't seem to have a relationship with the eldest princess of Yushan."
The old lady naturally knew what Liu Qingsu meant when she didn't finish speaking, and it was no secret that the queen mother and the eldest princess of Yushan had a mustard, and it was almost semi-public.
That's why the old lady felt even more incredible.
Liu Qingsu thought for a while and asked, "Grandmother, how much did our Liu Mansion pay for entering the park today?" ”
The old lady said: "I took out your grandfather's collection of Wenxing's "Autumn Geese and Wild Goose Water Birds". ”
Liu Qingsu was suddenly a little surprised, she didn't expect the old lady to take out this painting.
If she remembered correctly, none of the sisters in the previous life got this painting. Speaking of this painting, it is also one of the favorite paintings and calligraphy works of Mrs. Liu during his lifetime, that Wenxing is known as a master of calligraphy and painting who has never been seen before or since, and Wenxing's painting is worth a thousand gold in one square foot.
When the old lady saw Liu Qingsu's surprised appearance, she thought that Liu Qingsu's words were also good, and calligraphy and painting had never been separated. Liu Qingsu estimated that most of them also knew and even admired Wenxing.
In the end, Liu Qingsu couldn't help but ask: "It's a pity that grandmother used this painting." ”
The old lady said, "I'm afraid if it weren't for this painting." I'm afraid today's painting is also light. ”
Liu Qingsu felt a little strange, a painting of such a large value was still light?
"Grandmother, what's going on?"
The old lady said: "Originally, these things may tell you that you may not understand very well, but now that you have a marriage contract with the Seventh Prince, in the eyes of everyone, we are close to the eldest princess of Yushan." In any case, our involvement with the royal family will only be more, not less. That's why grandmother told you to keep an eye on yourself. Think about it. Be observant. It has always been a blessing and a curse to be too deeply involved with the royal family, and you must remember to think before you make a decision when acting in the future. ”
Liu Qingsu listened to the old lady's earnest words and nodded.
The old lady continued: "Today, those officials in Beijing have put it bluntly, and when they come to this Zhuangzi, they are afraid that they are all making clothes for others. Of course, this time it was because of the will of the queen's mother. But it is difficult to say that the people of the provinces do not have other thoughts. You said that you think that the eldest princess of Yushan and the seventh prince are not in a hurry at all, but I think that the eldest princess of Yushan and the seventh prince will not be attentive at all at this autumn garden meeting. ”
Liu Qingsu said: "But this is the will of the queen's mother."
The old lady said with a smile: "Don't say it's you, even if I hadn't heard you say about the attitude of the eldest princess of Yushan and the Seventh Prince today, as well as the news I heard on the road, I wouldn't have known that behind this autumn garden meeting is the current saint." ”
Liu Qingsu suddenly sounded, and when she was in Yuhu at the beginning, the eldest princess of Yushan seemed to express her dissatisfaction with Emperor Wen, and also said Emperor Wen's confused words.
So Liu Qingsu told the old lady what the eldest princess of Yushan said when she received the post on the edge of the fishing lake, and told the old lady again, and even said that the queen's last intention to the eldest princess of Yushan and the seventh prince was to stamp the treasure seal.
After hearing this, the old lady couldn't help but sigh and said, "The queen mother is indeed true."
As a courtier, you naturally can't say that the Lord is wrong, so there are some things that can only be understood.
The old lady looked at Liu Qingsu's lowered head, and she also knew that Liu Qingsu knew what she was going to say.
So the old lady said: "I'm afraid there is turmoil in the court!" ”
Liu Qingsu was very incomprehensible and even skeptical of what he said to the old lady.
In the last life, she didn't see any major turmoil in the court until she died? Although she is a woman, if the court is in addition to any major turmoil, the Houzhai will also know. Even in her last days, Xiang Shaohui was very busy.
Seeing Liu Qingsu's expression, the old lady said with a look of disbelief: "This time it should have something to do with the eldest princess of Yushan and the seventh prince, but the ministers should have a great opinion on the eldest princess of Yushan and the seventh prince, they have no way to take the seventh prince, but it is likely to take our Liu Mansion." Your father and your uncle will be fine, they do things in a measured way. I'm most worried about you and the five girls right now. ”
After Liu Qingsu heard the old lady's words, she remembered that the eldest princess of Yushan knew that Liu Anzhen's queen mother had made this autumn garden party.
So Liu Qingsu told the eldest princess of Yushan about the news she got in the palace, and the initiator of all this was Liu Anzhen, and also talked about the attitude of the eldest princess of Yushan and the seventh prince by the way, as well as her own attitude at that time.
The old lady nodded and said, "Second girl, you did a good job this time, and the fifth girl should really take it back." It's always safer at home than in the palace. I don't know what our Liu Mansion has done, I knew that I shouldn't have softened my heart and let that girl be born at that time. ”
It was the first time Liu Qingsu saw the old lady so unshy about showing such a seemingly impersonal side in front of her. Liu Qingsu even thought that if the old lady in the previous life did this, would she not be so miserable in the previous life?
The old lady said: "Now you are also dangerous, I am afraid that those people will calculate with you from time to time, and calculate your marriage with the Seventh Prince." ”
Liu Qingsu listened quietly.
There was silence in the room for a moment.
It didn't take long for Liu Yunxiang and the others to come back with excitement on their faces.
"Grandmother, grandmother! The scenery in Qixia Garden is also good, but unfortunately my grandmother didn't go. ”
The old lady smiled and said to Liu Yunxiang: "You can go and see it for your grandmother, grandmother is old and doesn't have such good energy." ”
When Liu Yunxiang heard the old lady's words, she hurriedly stepped forward and pulled the old lady's arm and said, "Grandmother can talk nonsense, where is grandmother old." ”
The old lady pretended to be angry and said, "You girl dares to say that grandmother is talking nonsense, it's really bold enough." ”
Liu Yunxiang said: "Grandmother is the most sensible, granddaughter I am a good word." ”
The old lady smiled and said, "Look at this dead girl's reason." ”
Liu Qingsu also said with a smile: "My granddaughter thinks that what the fourth sister said is good, and my grandmother is not old." The granddaughter supports the fourth sister. ”
The old lady pretended to be sad and said, "You are all starting to do the right thing with your grandmother one by one. ”
Everyone laughed for a while.
Later, Xue said: "A few of them are intimate with their mothers, and the two girls on the side are well-behaved, and the daughter-in-law has heard a lot of people say that all the girls in our Liu Mansion are good." ”
At this time, the old lady changed her solemn expression and said: "Let's try to keep a low profile in Zhuangzi today, I'm afraid there will be some things today." ”
When everyone heard the old lady say this, although they didn't know what the old lady heard from Liu Qingsu, they didn't dare to relax at all when they looked at the old lady.
And at this time, it is indeed getting more and more lively outside. (To be continued......)
