Seeing what Master Xu Si thought, Mama Gui sighed: "Your Highness is too naΓ―ve, she thinks that Xu Jinxing's scum is just a coward, you two brothers are orphans of your brother, as long as she hides in the Buddha hall, everything should be fine!" Unexpectedly, the current situation has emerged. β
Regarding Mama Gui's explanation, Xu Tingyuan still believed it, but: "I have insoluble blood with the eldest master, this is not a fraud." β
Mama Gui frowned, it happened suddenly, they patronized and went angrily, and now Xu Tingyuan raised this question again and again, Mama Gui realized the seriousness of the matter.
"Or do they have a special way of cheating?"
Xu Tingyuan shook his head: "No matter how bad Xu Tingjin is, he is also a person who reads sage books, let him lie and persecute his own brother with the same father and mother, he should not have lost his heart to this point." β
In other words, he would rather believe that the two are not brothers, and that his brother is such a person who has lost his conscience.
Mama Gui had no choice but to say: "Your Highness is in turmoil right now!" When His Highness's mood eases up a little, the old slave will tell His Highness about this...... The uncle and the second master are not brothers, so this can't be justified! β
Xu Tingyuan nodded, and no longer argued with Mama Gui, Mama Gui was more confused than him, even if she defended, she couldn't justify anything.
Xu Qijin and Xu Qirong are two sisters, one person and one tea. You took a sip of me, and drank two pots of it, only to see that Master Xu Si personally sent Mama Gui out.
Mama Gui looked at the two sisters and sighed. said: "Good boy, I'm sorry for you." Then he took his leave.
Xu Qirong looked at Xu Tingyuan, his expression was quite calm, and he breathed a sigh of relief. This means that they are at least not talking about tearing their faces. In any case, Princess Pingtai is their grandmother, Xu Tingyuan's mother.
Xu Tingyuan "talked" with Mama Gui for such a while, and the depressed soldiers in his heart were almost gone, except for the hatred for Xu Jinxing in his heart. It's quite quiet, but I still hope that Xu Tingjin is confused by Xu Jinxing, and he doesn't really want to deal with his own brother.
But it's not something he can change just thinking about.
I saw Sister Jin and Sister Rong. Xu Tingyuan is always pleasant, although he doesn't know about general affairs, he still half-squinted and asked a few words about the opening of Xinglin Medical Center, and asked about Xu Qijindu's family. Seeing that there are no major problems on either side. I actually cleaned up and went out again.
Xu Qirong had the heart to inquire about what Xu Tingyuan had just talked about with Mama Gui, but the people were not allowed to approach the study, so Xu Tingyuan turned around and went out again, so he had to give up. I asked about Mr. Du's visit this time.
Xu Qijin pursed his lips: "This Du Dagongzi actually has a childish heart, seeing that I didn't say a word, and didn't even let them enter the gate, he began to be anxious, and his neck was red as if he had drunk several pots of Northwest spirits." β
Xu Qirong was a little embarrassed: "When does my sister plan to let go?" It was Du Dagongzi who gave his sister no face first. My sister has to give him a good try. It's just that my sister is going to live at Du's house in the future. It's not good to overdo it. "If you leave a strong reputation like the Lord of Frost Mercy, I'm afraid it will make my mother-in-law and concubines dislike!
Xu Qijin couldn't understand this, nodded, and said, "I'm measured." β
Xu Qijin has always been thoughtful, and Xu Qirong was relieved when he heard her say this.
In line with the mentality of giving a sweet jujube with a stick, Xu Qijin asked Gao Bo to sort out the fields and shops under her name in the past two days, and planned to wait for the next time Du Dagongzi came to give a dowry gift, as a dowry list, let Du Dagongzi take it back. In this way, Xu Qijin not only has the reason to be magnanimous and does not care about Du Zhong, but also has enough capital to please his mother-in-law...... The Du family is a salt transport envoy, and the family background is naturally very rich, but it is not good to show too much wealth in his position. In any case, a daughter-in-law with a good temperament and a generous dowry is liked by anyone.
The sisters' mother died early, and their father has not remarried for so many years, and he doesn't know if he will remarry in the future. Xu Qijin thought that his sister was simple, and he was going to get married in a year or two at most, and when his sister got married, no one taught him by word and deed, but he was afraid that he would suffer, so he couldn't care about being embarrassed, so he simply told Xu Qirong about his plans.
"For a woman, the favor of her husband is not the most important thing, the most important thing is the reputation of the woman and the recognition of her in-laws. For example, if I do this this time, it is true that I will offend Mr. Du, but I will please Mrs. Du. With Mrs. Du's love and the reputation of being virtuous and virtuous, no matter how much Duke Du hates me, he can't embarrass me. Even taking a concubine requires my consent. β
Xu Qirong has added this truth in her previous life and this life, and no one has ever told her this truth in her two lives. Before getting married in the previous life, Xu Guo's kept teaching her to grasp Yun Lan's heart, as long as Yun Lan had her in her heart, she could help her father.
When she first got married, Yun Lan was really kind to her, but even if Yun Lan was still interested in her at that time, her life was not easy, and her mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and sister-in-law looked down on her and relied on Yun Lan's methods, and made it difficult for her to practice her in every way. Now listening to Xu Qijin's words, I have a sudden understanding.
For women, even if the back house is a square inch of land, it is also their battlefield, the bargaining chips in their hands, but three, their own reputation, the favor of their mother-in-law and the favor of their husbands. Among them, the most useless is the so-called husband's favor.
While the sisters were talking, Gao Bo came to the door with a list.
After giving the list to Xu Qijin to read, Gao Bo turned to Xu Qirong and said, "Fifth Miss, the eldest master has been beaten." β
Xu Qirong was stunned for a moment, and his first reaction was that Master Xu angered Princess Pingtai because he forced them to have four rooms, and was beaten by Princess Pingtai. But after thinking about it, Princess Pingtai can't even get along with her son, so how can she teach Master Xu a lesson? When I think about it, my expression becomes a little subtle.
Gao Bo explained: "It has been spread all over the entire Xijing City, it seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince told the eldest lord to do something, and the eldest lord did it, and the last injury was finally healed, and this was given thirty boards by His Royal Highness the Prince." β
The connection between the things before and after, where can you still figure out why Xu Tingjin was beaten!
There is no doubt that the person who wrote the anonymous letter to Master Xu Si was Master Xu. Like Liang Wenjing, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince probably also had such doubts about his father's life experience, and the eldest man wanted to climb the prince's line, so he single-handedly matched the marriage of Xu Qiyu and Yan Youan. The prince has the heart to find out about his father's marriage, so he is naturally willing to accept the eldest master.
The fifteenth princess and His Royal Highness the crown prince are the same concubine, and Xu Qiyu suddenly got close to the fifteenth princess, which is not difficult to explain.
It's just that what Master Xu didn't expect was that Princess Pingtai actually stood on the side of the fourth room without hesitation, and there were high-ranking monks such as Master Fashi who came out to say that Feng Shui moved the grave, forcing Xu Tingyuan to voluntarily erase the name on the family tree, not to mention it, but to make his life experience unclear in the eyes of others.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was already a little obedient, and now he felt that he had been mocked by Master Xu, how could he not teach Master Xu a lesson!
Xu Qirong's mind turned again, and he immediately understood why he was so miserable in his previous life. Yun Lan is a member of the prince's party, and at that time she only thought that the country would be the prince's in the future, and if Yun Lan said good things in front of the prince, she would not be able to save her father's life. Now that I think about it, the prince thought that his father was the bloodline of Emperor Chen Qian, so how could he let his father go? Even Yun Lan agreed to marry herself, but I am afraid that it was also instructed by the prince!
The crown prince has been the old prince for more than 30 years, even if there is no suitable prince in the palace to replace him, the court and the central government from time to time instigate Emperor Chen Qiandi to abolish the crown prince on the grounds of the prince's mediocrity. As soon as I learned that I might have a brother, I couldn't keep my position as the prince, so I couldn't keep it, so I couldn't get the other party to death!
Thinking of this, Xu Qirong only had a wry smile left in his heart, his father's broken letter back then probably wanted her to stay away from this quagmire, but unfortunately she was self-righteous, not only did she not stay away, but she also jumped into it head-on.
Seeing Xu Qirong's expression change, he kept his mouth shut and didn't answer, Gao Bo didn't say anything more, and quietly waited for Xu Qijin to look at the list.
After reading it, Xu Qijin handed the list to Yu Qiu again: "You take it and copy it." Then he said to Gao Bo, "You wait for a while, and when Yu Qiu's copy is finished, you will take a copy with you." I'll keep a copy here, and I'll give it to the Du family directly when the time comes. β
It's not a serious dowry list, it's just a thorough explanation for the Du family, and everyone knows it.
Gao Bo nodded: "Don't you want to keep a copy here for the second lady?" β
Xu Qijin shook his head: "It's so early!" "When the wedding date is set and the dowry is set, it's good to keep a dowry list here.
Sending Gao Bo away, Xu Qirong still didn't come back to his senses, Xu Qijin sighed, and was about to have a good talk with Xu Qirong, when he saw Xu Qirong let out a sigh, he suddenly opened his eyebrows and smiled.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a suspicious person, since he has already doubted Xu Tingjin's life experience, Xu Tingjin will not have a good time in the future, and the most important thing now is to remove his father from this suspicion. As long as no one thinks that Daddy is the bloodline of Emperor Chen Qian, those troubles in the previous life will naturally be avoided.
It was Xu Qiyu who ran to Lanzhi Courtyard every day a few days ago, but I was afraid that it was just to secretly find the so-called evidence, and found a picture of "Thunder, rain and dew are all Jun'en" and no longer approached Lanzhi Courtyard. I'm afraid that Caiyue will die tragically because of this.
Although I don't understand why Xu Tingjin is relieved that Xu Qiyu will do these things, he also explains why Xu Tingjin held Xu Qiyu so much some time ago, and he didn't even care about the life or death of his own daughter.
It's just that now, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a dislike for Xu Tingjin, the Yan family has always obeyed the prince's will, Xu Tingjin naturally can't be friends with the Yan family anymore, Xu Qiyu and Yan You'an's marriage contract is still there, I'm afraid that life will be difficult in the future.
Thinking of this, and then thinking of Caiyue, who died tragically, Xu Qirong felt a little relieved in his heart. (To be continued......)
