At this time, Aunt Qiao smiled, with some flattery on her face, and said to Princess Pingtai: "Since the fifth lady is here, then I will go back first." ”

Princess Pingtai didn't raise her eyelids: "Go!" ”

Immediately, a maid came forward to put a cloak on Aunt Qiao's grandmother, Xu Qirong took a closer look, but it was gray rabbit fur, and pearls the size of fingernails were made of beads on it. After the cloak was made, Aunt Qiao's face was wrapped in a face that had been full of vicissitudes of time, giving the gray rabbit fur cloak a feeling of pearl casting.

really responds to the old saying, some people are not born to enjoy wealth before others, and they don't look like princes when they wear dragon robes!

Aunt Qiao, who was wrapped in a cloak and flattered Princess Pingtai, nodded, and then held the small hand stove that the maid stuffed into her hand and left in a hurry.

Xu Qirong was very surprised and asked, "Grandmother, what is she doing here?" ”

Princess Pingtai's expression remained unchanged: "She is also a poor person." ”

When Xu Qirong heard this, he was even more confused, and turned his head to look at Mama Gui, who explained while receiving all the needlework and thread into the sewing basket: "She is also a cowardly personality, and she was brought by Xu Tingjin and Guo Pingyao to oppose His Highness, and wanted to block His Highness." But I don't want to think about it, who is His Royal Highness, what kind of person is she, it is not an exaggeration to say that there is a difference between cloud and mud, and now she is forced to come to His Royal Highness every day to have a 'deep sisterhood', His Royal Highness has not done anything yet, she is scared first. ”

Xu Qirong frowned: "She comes over every day to make needles?" "Last year, I only divided half of Princess Pingtai's maids, and now everyone comes to Princess Pingtai every day, and it can be seen that Princess Pingtai's life in Ruyi Lane Xu Mansion is getting more and more difficult.

Xu Qirong noticed that Mama Gui called the eldest master this time, and her name was Xu Tingjin. Could it be that the doubts about Xu Tingjin's life experience, Princess Pingtai has already made a conclusion?

Think so. Xu Qirong asked.

The maids in Lanzhi Courtyard were all bought by Princess Pingtai herself, and Mama Gui personally trained them, so when Xu Qirong asked this, she was not very scrupulous.

Princess Pingtai didn't care about this either, and said lightly: "It's just that I'm sure he's not Da Lang...... Don't tell your dad about this, he doesn't have a plan. Who knows what to do with a hot brain. ”

Xu Qirong wanted to say that Master Xu Si has been doing things more thoughtfully recently, but after thinking about it, this matter is very important. If Xu Tingjin was really not the child of his grandmother and grandfather, Xu Jinxing would definitely know it, and he would have to ask the clan in Lingzhou to call the shots.

Xu Qirong nodded, and then asked, "How did grandmother determine it?" But what is the basis? ”

Princess Pingtai glanced at Xu Qirong. Thinking about the things Xu Qirong has done in the past two years. didn't hide it from her, and didn't care whether it was appropriate to tell a little lady about this matter, and stated in a flat tone: "Xu Tingjin has always been close to Xu Jin, and even Sister Yun is particularly willing to please Xu Guo's family. I only thought that he grew up with people over there, so I didn't think much about it. It wasn't until your father's incident began to feel that something was wrong. ”

Xu Qirong's eyes widened, waiting for Princess Pingtai to continue to say the following.

Princess Pingtai suddenly pursed her lips and refused to speak. I just glanced at Mama Gui.

Mama Gui was a little helpless to take out the small hand stove that Princess Pingtai was holding, and used a thin skewer to dial the charcoal inside. said: "Last winter, when it was snowing heavily, Xu Jinxing drank with his colleagues, and on the way back, he picked up a woman who was so cold that she lost half her life, and brought it home. After washing, I found that the woman was quite beautiful, with a flattering face, and when she woke up, she asked, but there was nowhere to go, so she left someone by her side to serve. ”

Hearing this, Xu Qirong's face couldn't help but feel a little strange.

Mama Gui continued: "It's been a long time, and it's inevitable that it will ...... Not long ago, Xu Jinxing promoted her as a new aunt. Then I found out that Aunt Xiang was pregnant, baby, and as soon as I got home on weekdays, I went to Aunt Xiang's yard. ”

Xu Qirong gasped, although she knew that Xu Jinxing was not a serious person, but over the years, she had not seen him carry her aunt, there were only two aunts in total, Aunt Dong and Aunt Duan had been around for more than 20 years. How graceful and graceful this Aunt Xiang must be, in order to coax Xu Jinxing to ignore Mrs. Guo and a group of children, the eldest will take another concubine when she is old.

is obviously talking about Xu Tingjin's life experience, why did Mama Gui suddenly talk about this Aunt Xiang again? Xu Qirong felt that something was wrong. After thinking about it carefully, it suddenly dawned on me: "This Aunt Xiang is grandmother's person?" ”

Princess Pingtai nodded: "That child was picked up when I was pregnant with your father, and when I picked it up, it was pink and tender, and my face was red on a snowy day, and I couldn't bear it." So he gave a sum of money to a peasant in the village, and asked them to take the child in. Who knew that the child was a miserable man, married at the age of 15 and a man who could only drink and gamble, and it was common for him to be beaten and scolded on weekdays. finally survived until the man died, but he was bullied by his uncle, so he escaped and went to Xijing City. ”

It was rare for Princess Pingtai to say such a big thing, and at the end, she paused, and concluded: "After arriving in Xijing City, she was calculated by someone's teeth, and she was sold several times, and she was sold to Mama Gui. ”

Xu Qirong was a little unbearable: "She...... Why do you want her to serve ...... such a hard life?"

The latter words are a little unspeakable, she shouldn't have asked Princess Pingtai about this, Princess Pingtai herself is already in a very difficult situation, where can she control others! It's not Aunt Xiang, there will be Aunt Sweet.

Princess Pingtai didn't care, and said lightly: "That's what she learned." ”

Xu Qirong was stunned.

Mama Gui explained: "His Royal Highness also asked me to give her some silver to make a living, but her beauty hurts herself, how can she protect herself when she is lonely? He took the initiative to ask to stay by His Royal Highness's side, and was willing to learn the tricks of the charming people, and after studying for four years, he invited himself to Xu Jinxing's side. ”

Xu Qirong remembered that four years ago was when she poisoned her throat in order to save her sister and Jiaren. It was also when my grandmother moved out of the temple. Now it seems that the grandmother had secretly prepared at that time.

Seeing that Xu Qirong was stunned, Princess Pingtai said lightly: "In front of the person he likes, men are always willing to let go of their defenses. Aunt Xiang mentioned Xu Tingjin's filial piety to him to Xu Jinxing, and Xu Jinxing said that if it weren't for him, Xu Tingjin would not have become the eldest son of the Xu family in this generation. ”

Xu Qirong was shocked, although everyone had guessed this conclusion before, but this time it was really confirmed.

How sad Grandmother must be! Xu Qirong thought.

Xu Qirong wanted to ask, since Xu Tingjin was not her real uncle, where did her real uncle go? Fortunately, Mama Gui coughed twice to remind her, and hurriedly held back this question. When these words were asked, it was always Princess Pingtai who was hurt.

A mother, who can't even figure out whether the person who has been her son for more than 30 years is a tanuki or a prince, is too much of a failure.

The atmosphere in the room was a little depressing, Xu Qirong was reluctant to do this, so he hurriedly opened his mouth and talked to Princess Pingtai about his intentions, and mentioned the matter of Xu Si marrying his stepfamily.

Xu Qirong said: "Grandmother, I know you don't want to persecute your father, but this time my father himself relented...... My father is now just a year old, but he can't enter the officialdom, he is not good at trading, there are few people in the family, and most of her friends are hermit-like people, although they often get together, it is common for them not to see each other for two or three years. After my sister got married, I always felt that my father talked a lot...... He was probably also afraid that there would be no one to talk to him in the future. ”

Princess Pingtai has such a cold temperament, and her eyes were sour when she heard this. Her eldest son is nowhere to be found, and her youngest son is so lonely.

Princess Pingtai hesitated for a moment: "But I'm still trapped in this square inch now, and I don't know which girl is good." ”

After a pause, he said, "Otherwise, you should inquire first and find out if there is a suitable person?" ”

How can a daughter who has not yet come out of the cabinet find a candidate for her father's steproom!

Mama Gui couldn't cry or laugh, and persuaded: "This matter can't be rushed, and it's even more inappropriate for Sister Rong to do it." Why don't you let the old slave inquire about it? ”

Princess Pingtai also felt that her proposal was wrong, and shook her head: "It's not good for you to go out too much." ”

Xu Qirong pursed his lips and said, "There really is a candidate...... Grandmother still remembers the house next door to us, the young lady surnamed Qi, the one who came to help my grandmother when she got married, and picked fish bones for my grandmother...... She seemed to have some thoughts about her father. ”

Princess Pingtai listened, thought about it carefully, and then remembered that Miss Qi was coming. After half a sound, he hesitated: "She doesn't look as good as your father!" ”

Xu Qirong choked, she didn't expect that Princess Pingtai was such a cold person, and she actually valued her appearance.

Mama Gui also shook her head: "That Miss Qi is too shrewd and strong, with her means, how easy it is to get hold of the second master, if she really marries her, the second master will inevitably suffer." ”

When Mama Gui said this, Xu Qirong and Xu Qijin had thought about it a year earlier, but for such a long time, Miss Qi really liked her father, and since she really liked it, how could she use means to control her father!

So he told Princess Pingtai this, and Princess Pingtai was silent for a while before saying, "Since this is the case, let's consider it...... However, it is true that it is not good-looking enough. ”

Xu Qirong stared at Princess Pingtai and didn't know how to answer this.

Mama Gui smiled and said, "Your grandfather was also a famous beautiful man back then!" ”

Also, their Xu family is good-looking, not to mention her father and several uncles are personable, even Xu Jinxing, who is almost sixty years old, is still quite handsome. (To be continued......)
