276 "Condolence"

The day after receiving the letter from Chi Mingxuan, Chi Linglong also personally went to the Mansion of the Marquis of Zhongyong to comfort his mother-in-law.

Yes, Chi Linglong is there to condole, not to serve the sick in the past.

It is said that as a child, Zhou was sick at this time and couldn't get out of bed, so she should have waited in front of the bed without undressing, so as to make a good name for herself.

However, Zhou fell ill, but she learned the news from Chi Mingxuan, not Zhou or the old lady, and specially sent someone to the Qin Palace, to inform her.

Oh, no matter what reason the Zhou family wanted to trap her in unfilial piety, and no matter whether her move was intentional or really forgot her, Chi Linglong really didn't have the heart to deal with the Zhou family now.

Zhou's methods, making and going, are all those few tricks.

It's just to ruin her reputation, so that she can let her knead it.

This person has a small heart, his means are not clever, and he doesn't know how to keep pace with the times.

If she withdraws from her family, she still needs to talk about other people's Chi Linglong, maybe she will crush her back molars because of this secret hatred, but now she is the princess of Qin, and the marriage date with Qin Chenghei has been set, and it is already a sure thing that she will marry into the Qin Palace.

has come to this point, and the Zhou family still wants to ruin her reputation?

Tsk, I don't know if it's okay to ease the relationship with her as a concubine in time, but I still want to grind her, Chi Linglong almost wonders if Zhou's brain is broken.

When Chi Linglong arrived at the door of the Marquis Zhongyong's mansion, the guards guarding outside the door saw her, and after stiffening for a while, they couldn't wait to respectfully ask her to salute, and then they trotted into the mansion to report.

Chi Linglong was the chief butler of the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion, that is, one of her father's henchmen, Wu Bo. Personally accompanied to the second gate.

Chi Mingxuan's sisters came to greet her when they heard the news, and Uncle Wu successfully retired.

Seeing that Chi Linglong had received someone and came over with a large number of gifts, Chi Mingxuan's eyelids blinked as if she had a convulsion.

She took Chi Linglong's arm and motioned to her with her eyes, "Are you really here?" ”

"Or what do you think?"

Chi Linglong glanced at Chi Mingxuan with disdain. Then he stopped chirping with her. But he turned his head and asked about Chi Mingzhu about Zhou's current condition. How the hell is it.

"The fever has subsided, and yesterday I invited the imperial doctor to come to the house and gave my mother a few doses of medicine, and my mother had a fever last night. I was already able to walk a few steps down the ground this morning. ”

"That's fine." Chi Linglong said: "When I came over, King Qin asked me to bring some ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum and other valuable medicinal materials. These medicinal herbs were all tributes from the palace in previous years, and the prince heard that my mother was unwell, so he asked me to bring them over. ”

Chi Mingzhu's sisters heard Chi Linglong say. The maids behind her were holding more than a dozen boxes, large and small, all of which were medicinal materials specially given by King Qin to the Zhou family for treatment. I can't help but feel excited.

King Qin, no matter what his reputation is outside. King Qin is really a character.

is a high-ranking and powerful person, and they are very favored, I am afraid that even their father will have to give three points when he sees the king of Qin.

King Qin actually sent medicinal herbs because of his mother's illness?

For a while, the expressions on the faces of the sisters of the Hou Mansion who heard this were a little different.

Not to mention what these girls are thinking about now, but the Lin family, who walked out of the Zhou family's courtyard, heard what Fang Cai Chi Linglong said, but he was so jealous that he almost broke his nails.

Of course, the shallow-eyed Lin family is not jealous of the fact that King Qin has not yet married the girl of the Hou Mansion, so he regards the Zhou family as his mother-in-law; She was just greedy for the box in her hand that was held by Biyun and a few people.

Those boxes, the most inferior are also made of high-quality huanghuali wood, and the boxes made of these high-quality wood, and the medicinal herbs that are placed, can the medicinal materials be worse?

What's more, Chi Linglong also said that the medicinal materials in the box were all tributes given to the Qin Wangfu by His Majesty before.

What His Majesty rewarded to the King of Qin, will there be something bad?

Lin's greedy eyes are about to stop.

She thought with a dry mouth that if she exchanged all these things for silver, she would have at least fifty or sixty thousand taels.

As soon as Lin thought of the silver, the expression on his face was a little dazed.

Simply, this person's gaffe was only out of shape for a moment, and then his own daughter, the second girl, Chi Mingwan, pinched her arm in annoyance, and after reminding her of the current occasion, the Lin family also instantly returned to normal.

"Yo, the five girls are back? Quick, come in. Your mother heard the girl tell you that you had come to the house, and that you were half cured. ”

Holding Chi Linglong's hand with one hand, he patted it affectionately, and looked at the traces of sluggishness, Chi Linglong's more and more outstanding little face, Lin's face was smiling like a flower, but his heart was full of mixed feelings.

Especially, when she saw what Chi Linglong was dressed up now, she was also very bitter in her heart.

Chi Linglong, this girl, which point can compare to her daughter Mingwan?

Tsk, even such a concubine can be involved in the family affairs of the Qin Palace, and her sister Wan's family affairs have to be picked carefully.

What is the second son of the Hou Mansion, the eldest son of the Bofu, the eldest grandson of the Hubu Shangshu, these hairy boys, whether they are born or look, who can match her Sister Wan?

Lin was contemptuous in his heart, some time ago, the woman who came to test her tone was silent on her face.

If it weren't for the emperor's harem, now whether it is the queen or the four concubines, they are all complete, and there are many high-ranking concubines such as Duan Concubine and Concubine Yi, and she will not stand out more if she sends her daughter to the palace, and the Lin family also really wants to send Chi Mingwan to the palace for a certain future.

However, the emperor's path can't go through, isn't there still the fifth prince, the crown prince, the seventh prince, the tenth prince, the Qianshizi and other princes and grandsons who have not married the concubine?

Her sister Wan is really a good choice for these princes and grandchildren.

As long as she plans properly, she won't worry about her daughter marrying badly.

Lin's thoughts didn't need to be said, but it was said that after Chi Linglong followed the sisters and entered the warm pavilion of Ziwei Garden, she couldn't help but be stunned when she saw the Zhou family who had lost more than a lap of weight.

In Chi Linglong's memory, Zhou has always been a slightly plump lady.

She is not very fat, and she is very well maintained, nearly forty, but she only looks thirty beautiful. Woman.

And now the Zhou family. With a sallow complexion, protruding hip bones, dry lips, and cloudy eyes, is this still the elegant and noble Zhou?

Chi Linglong played a filial daughter in front of the Zhou family, waited for Chi to have lunch in Zhou's Ziwei Garden, and then went to her small courtyard with Chi Mingxuan to rest. Chi Linglong couldn't help but ask. How the hell was Zhou angry.

Regarding Chi Shengjin's family affairs, one of the bends and turns, Chi Linglong got some news from Qin Chenghei. Ji Mingxuan didn't know at all.

However, what Chi Mingxuan told Chi Linglong about Zhou's illness was not fake. It's about Ji Myeong-jin.

"It's not all made by the third sister." Chi Mingxuan was holding a red apple and nibbling on it, and at the same time, he also whispered to Chi Linglong: "Didn't the mansion hold a flower banquet a few days ago. Let the noblewomen of Kyoto look at the second, third, and fourth sisters? ”

"I don't know what the second sister's family is. However, in the past few days, several noble ladies have entered our house under the trust of their relationship. Come and meet the great aunt. Isn't this someone who has taken a fancy to the third sister? ”

Ji Mingxuan "clicked" for a bite of apple, and while gobbling it up, he also said, "I don't know either." Those are all the noblewomen in the house, who want to marry the third sister for the son. However, there is one of them that I know. ”

He Chi Linglong bit her ear and said, "Mrs. Hou of the Hou Mansion of Wu'an wants to marry the third sister for the prince." ”

Chi Linglong's eyes widened in surprise, and Chi Mingxuan patted her hand, "I was as shocked as you before, but I was shocked and shocked, so I won't be shocked, fifth sister, you have to be calm." ”

Chi Mingxuan's appeasement was of no use to Chi Linglong.

If someone else wants to ask to marry Chi Mingzhen, Chi Linglong will not be so dumbfounded.

But the prince of the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion was none other than one of Qin Chenghe's only two friends.

Qin Chenghei is so big, he is a good friend of the two places.

One is Qu Lingnan, the prince of Wu'an Houfu, this is the people in Beijing, most of whom know it; The other is Qianshizi.

Few people know that he and Qin Chengji are close friends.

Don't talk about Qianshizi, but talk about Qu Lingnan.

Qulingnan is the son of the Marquis of Wu'an, and was originally the Yuan of the Marquis of Wu'an; It's a pity that Mrs. Wu'anhou, because of the birth of Qu Lingnan, broke her body, and died after Qu Lingnan turned three years old.

After that, Wu Anhou remarried a lady, who had a gentle temperament and the most good-tempered lady.

It's a pity that after marrying Wu'anhou, he gave birth to seven golden flowers in a row.

It is precisely because Mrs. Wu'anhou has never given birth to a son-in-law, and she has always attached great importance to Qu Lingnan, the sister-in-law left by the original partner, as her own child.

Qu Lingnan is a big grinning character, and Mrs. Wu'anhou has a gentle and kind temperament, if Chi Mingzhen, a hot-tempered horse, marries into the Wu'anhou Mansion,......

Chi Linglong can already imagine that after that, the Hou Mansion of Wu'an will be made a mess by Chi Mingzhen.

To tell the truth, although Chi Linglong and Chi Mingzhen are sisters and should be close, compared to sisterly affection, Chi Linglong is even more reluctant to make Qin Chenghei unhappy.

Qin Chengsi seems to be cold and desireless, but he is the most affectionate, Qu Lingnan is one of his only two friends, I think if Qu Lingnan has a bad time after that, Qin Chengsi doesn't say it, and his heart will not be happy.

The expression on Chi Linglong's face changed back and forth, and as if she had seen through what she was thinking, Chi Mingxuan also covered her mouth at the moment, patted her arm to comfort her.

"Fifth sister, don't worry, hey, the Hou Mansion of Wu'an is good, but the third sister has a high vision, but she can't look down on the Hou of Wu'an."

I don't know whether it is disdain or disgust, Chi Mingxuan sighed, "The eldest aunt thinks that the Wu'anhou Mansion is good, although there are more sisters-in-law, but the current Mrs. Wu'anhou is a stepwife, and she will definitely not dare to treat her harshly, and the Yuan match will leave her son to marry her daughter-in-law, which is one of them." Second, the son of the Marquis of Wu'an, I heard that he is the same as his brother-in-law, he is a clean and self-conscious. So far, there have been no concubines, and the daily life is taken care of and served by the servants. ”

He spread his hands again, shook his head and said: "If you want me to say, the conditions of Wu'an Hou Mansion are enough to match the third sister, but unfortunately the third sister is not satisfied, and when the eldest aunt discussed this family matter with her, she dropped the cup and cried, Wu'an Hou Shizi is a martial artist and a rough man." Even if she can't marry the son of the most beautiful and noble family in Kyoto, she will never marry a martial artist who abuses herself. ”

When Chi Linglong heard these words from Chi Mingxuan and her, her chest rose and fell non-stop.

Chi Mingxuan also said at this time: "It was precisely because the third sister shouted so much at that time that the little girl outside heard it." We only knew that the eldest aunt was sick by the third sister's anger, otherwise, hum ......"

He said: "It's a pity that the eldest aunt just loves the third sister too much." If you want me to say, the third sister said such an excessive thing, she punished her for thinking about it behind closed doors, it was too light. If it's my mother. Tut. I am afraid that if I dare to speak so openly, my mother will definitely punish me to go to the dark room for three days to reflect on myself. ”

In the end, he gloated, "That's because of it." Fifth sister, you didn't see the third sister today. She's still thinking about it behind closed doors. ”

Ji Linglong took a deep breath and digested all the information that Ji Mingxuan passed to her. I couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"You said, obviously she and the sixth sister are compatriots. It's my sister again, why don't I look at my sixth sister steadily? ”

Chi Linglong took a sip of tea and said, "With such a picky and fiery temperament, she still wants to marry the most luxurious and knowledgeable family in Kyoto." She thinks about beauty, thinks that she is the daughter of the Hou Mansion, and she is proud, and she can't wait to lift her chin to look at people. Hey, I'm afraid it's a noble girl from Kyoto who is more expensive than her. I didn't dare to have such a big breath as her. ”

shook his head helplessly and said: "With her temperament, sooner or later she will suffer a big loss." ”

Chi Mingxuan nodded approvingly, wrinkled her little nose, and took a bite of the apple with a "click", and whimpered: "I just hope that when the time comes, she won't trouble us, don't ruin the reputation of the girls in the Hou Mansion, and I will be Amitabha." ”

Chi Linglong and Chi Mingxuan talked a lot, and in the middle of the afternoon, they heard Chi Mingxuan's personal maid vanilla, and reported outside the door: "Two girls, four girls are here." ”

The fourth girl, Chi Minghuan, why is she here now?

Chi Linglong looked at Chi Mingxuan suspiciously, she had long since stopped contacting the people in the Hou Mansion, and she didn't know what these people were thinking about now.

Chi Mingxuan also frowned slightly, and whispered to Chi Linglong: "I guess, it must be because of her family." ”

The fourth girl, Chi Minghuan, is also a big lady, but compared with Chi Linglong, Zhou's hostility towards Chi Minghuan is greater.

It's not to blame anything else, it's to blame, the fourth girl's biological mother, Aunt Lin, is the old lady's maiden niece who came out of five suits.

I think that at the beginning, the old lady wanted to seek the position of loyal and brave marquis for her son, because of this, she didn't want the Zhou family to give birth to a child.

Based on this reason, the old lady teamed up with the second lady to drug Zhou.

It's a pity that creation makes people, but this matter was discovered by the Zhou family three years later.

Then, with Chi Zhongyuan's escort, Zhou Shishun gave birth to Chi Shengjin, the son of the Hou Mansion.

The old lady and the second lady were afraid of Chi Zhongyuan's deterrence, and they didn't dare to come out with a moth that "wanted people's lives", but they didn't want Zhou's life to be smooth.

As a result, the two conspired, and the old lady stuffed an Aunt Lin into her son's room, in order to block the Zhou family.

The Zhou family and the old lady have been fighting for half their lives, and Aunt Lin is the niece of the old lady, because of this, how can the Zhou family give Aunt Lin a good life?

If you say that a few years ago, because the old lady was in good health, she could still support Aunt Lin and fight in the ring with the Zhou family.

But since last year, the old lady has been inexplicable and always dreams of "Aunt Ning", and the old lady can't care about Aunt Lin anymore.

Aunt Lin's life is not good, how can the four girls live comfortably?

If it was just before, Aunt Lin and the four girls would have suffered losses and suffered crimes, and they would have been able to live their lives after all.

But right now, the girls in the house are busy talking about their relatives, but there are not only the two concubines of Chi Mingwan and Chi Mingzhen, but also the concubine of Chi Minghuan.

The mother-in-law took care of the daughter-in-law's family affairs, which was a matter of course.

However, that girl, isn't she afraid that she won't be able to marry her lover?

At the flower banquet held in the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion a few days ago, Chi Mingzhen and Chi Mingwan were in the limelight, although Chi Minghuan was a concubine, she was not without a noblewoman, and she fell in love with her for her nephew or concubine.

But the nostalgia is bad, but whenever someone asks Zhou about this concubine's family, Zhou's expression will immediately become lukewarm.

Those women who have always been shrewd and capable, especially good at reading people's faces, saw that Zhou's face turned cold, how could they not know that she didn't like this concubine?

As a result, even the lady who had a good impression of Chi Minghuan had to dispel her original thoughts.

In this capital, although there are not many noble girls, the girls of the concubines are enough for them to dazzle.

Because of a Chi Minghuan, let them have a bad relationship with the Zhou family, and this matter can't be done.

Moreover, there are many of them who have other choices, not except for Chi Minghuan.

As a result, Chi Minghuan's family affairs are really no one to care about.

Therefore, this time, Chi Minghuan, when she knew that Chi Linglong was also here with Chi Mingxuan, came to visit their sisters, needless to say, she must have come to find Chi Linglong and asked her for help.

What Chi Linglong could think of, Chi Mingxuan naturally thought of, so this girl is also sad and sad now, and asked Chi Linglong, "Fifth sister, if the fourth sister really came to ask you for help, will you help?" ”

Without waiting for Chi Linglong to reply, she said to herself: "Although I also think that sometimes the fourth sister is quite annoying when she talks. It's just that in the end, it's the sisters of the house. No matter how bad we are on weekdays, it's always hard to deal with the fourth sister's family. ”

He sighed like a little adult, "Marrying is a woman's second reincarnation, and if she doesn't marry well, she will have to suffer for the rest of her life." ”

Chi Linglong valued Chi Mingxuan and shook her head, but she couldn't help laughing out loud and knocked a chestnut on her forehead.

"If she really came to talk about it, I would definitely help her. After all, in the final analysis, the fourth sister is more involuntary than me. Especially Aunt Lin......"

Chi Linglong sighed, although it was not good to talk about the aunt in her father's courtyard, she couldn't help but say, "Aunt Lin has come to settle down, and she hardly goes anywhere except for her own small courtyard on weekdays. If it weren't for the desperate family earlier, she was forced to rely on the old lady to beg for food, and if she wanted to come, no matter what, she would not have ......" (to be continued)
