Chapter Ninety-Six: Resentment
Mama Gui said it reasonably, Princess Pingtai lowered her head and pondered for a long time, and finally had to say: "You ask people to contact the head of the Hua family and find a time to come out to talk, no matter what they think over there, when we see someone, we will have a little bottom in our hearts." ”
Mama Gui thought about it and responded. Then talking about the fact that Mrs. Guo sent someone to inform Xu Qirong to participate in the banquet held by Miss Qiu Er, Mama Gui sneered and said, "One is the princess's grandson, and the other is the concubine of the little prince, and there is no need for interaction between the two." ”
I thought of it with Princess Pingtai.
Princess Pingtai nodded: "Okay, you go and tell Sister Rong, you don't have to eat mung bean porridge with ice, she doesn't have to go to the banquet the day after tomorrow, and Sister Jin doesn't have to go, just say that I don't allow it." ”
Mama Gui hesitated a little: "What should I do over there in the second room?" ”
The second room mentioned by Mama Gui refers to the room of Mrs. Guo, which is calculated from the two brothers Xu Jinyan and Xu Jinxing.
Princess Pingtai waved her hand: "She may not dare to turn her face against me." ”
"Yes." Mama Gui bowed her head.
Princess Pingtai asked again, "What has Yuan'er been busy with lately?" ”
Last time, Xu Tingyuan rashly agreed to the marriage of Xu Qijin and Yi Tongchi, Princess Pingtai was unhappy, but when she returned to Xijing City and saw Xu Si's dazed appearance, she didn't even know where to reprimand.
Last time, Xu Tingyuan "accidentally" forgot the thrush in Lanzhi Courtyard, and he has never been here again.
Mama Gui thought for a while and said, "I just heard the little maid's mouth broken, and the second master asked a few friends to go boating and brought Brother You with him." ”
Princess Pingtai nodded, she found that Xu Tingyuan had been very close to Xu You recently.
Mama Gui hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I heard that the second master has the intention of passing on Brother You'er. Your Highness, look at this...... The second master is young, and he may not have no heirs in the future. The uncle has two sons-in-law, and it may not be a good thing to succeed one. ”
When they first came out of the Buddha Hall, Princess Pingtai and Mama Gui knew that Qiao's had the intention of following Brother You'er to Xu Tingyuan's room, but Xu Tingyuan meant to be resolutely opposed at that time, and with Princess Pingtai's support, this matter was never mentioned again. Now that I bring it up again, judging from Xu Tingyuan's behavior, could it really be that Master Xu Si changed his original intention?
Although Xu Tingyuan is confused, he is not a person who changes his decision lightly. Princess Pingtai thought for a while and said, "You tell him to go down, as soon as the fourth master comes back, let him come to Lanzhi Courtyard." ”
Unlike Mama Gui, Princess Pingtai has always called her two sons according to the ranking of the entire Xu family.
A few days after Princess Pingtai and her entourage left Jiangzhou City, Hua Weijing also returned to Xijing City with people. As soon as I returned to Xijing City, I heard the news that the Xu family was looking for a zombie silkworm for ten years, and it happened that Hua Weijing had this thing in his hand, so he was busy and sent it quietly.
It was also at this time that he learned that Xu Wu had lost his voice after being poisoned. Hua Weijing was angry about this, but it had been almost three years since the incident, and no matter how angry he was, he was helpless. What's more, it's someone else's business, and it has nothing to do with him.
Master Xu Si is just a little confused, not stupid. Hearing Princess Pingtai tell him to go to Lanzhi Courtyard, he probably guessed what Princess Pingtai was for.
Master Xu Si came back with Xu You, and Xu You stood aside when the next person reported it. It was probably because Master Xu Si was really good to Xu You during this time, so when he heard that Princess Pingtai called Master Xu Si over, Xu You actually acted coquettishly, as if Master Xu Si was already his father.
"Fourth uncle, I haven't asked my grandmother for a long time, can the fourth uncle take me along?"
Princess Pingtai has a cold temperament and does not pay attention to the joy of her ancestors and grandchildren, even Xu Qijin, Princess Pingtai is not particularly welcome, should she have a cold face or a cold face when she sees Xu Qijin. Therefore, although the two brothers and one sister of the big house are also the grandchildren of Princess Pingtai, the number of times they have stepped into Lanzhi Courtyard is only a handful.
Because of Aunt Qiao's grandmother, the eldest lady can't get close to Princess Pingtai. But it doesn't mean that she doesn't want to be close to Princess Pingtai, after all, nominally, she is still the princess of Da Chen Kingdom. Therefore, on weekdays, in addition to teaching Xu You to please the fourth uncle, Mrs. Qiao also taught him to be closer to his grandmother.
Xu You is a gentleman, and the only good thing is that he is willing to listen to his mother. It's just that Princess Pingtai's temperament is there, and it's not that he can get close if he wants to. At this time, I saw that Fourth Master Xu was going to see Princess Pingtai, thinking that my grandmother liked the fourth uncle so much, in front of the fourth uncle, maybe I would be waiting to see him!
Seeing that Fourth Master Xu didn't speak, Xu You hurriedly said, "Fourth Uncle, I promise not to talk nonsense to make my grandmother angry." ”
Fourth Master Xu paused for a moment, then smiled good-naturedly, and said, "Your grandmother is looking for me, maybe the fourth uncle did something wrong to make her angry, so don't follow it." Mr. Pei is a great Confucian in the world, because of his loose nature, he did not enter the field. The books he told you today are all of the best, and there are just two or three in my study, so I'll have someone send them to you later, and it's good for you to take a look at them. ”
But everyone doesn't like to read. Hearing what Master Xu Si said, Xu You subconsciously frowned and was about to shake his head and refuse, but when he remembered his mother's words, he squeezed out a smile on his face: "Don't worry, Fourth Uncle, it's not too late for you to look for it when you have time." ”
Master Xu Si nodded, and said seriously: "Brother You, it's good if you are willing to study." Even if you don't take the scientific exam, it's good to read more. If you have this heart, the ancient books collected by the fourth uncle will be left to you, and the fourth uncle will not feel distressed. The young lady of the Fang family that your mother told you is also a well-informed girl. Now so, that's good. ”
The Fang family is a scholarly family, and Miss Fang's father is a sour talent, and he can be regarded as famous. Compared with the Xu family, it is a small family, and when you buy a bun, you can meet a dignitary in Xijing City, and the Fang family is even more insignificant. Xu You didn't like the Miss Fang family at all, and the reason why he ordered her was because Master Xu Si had praised Fang Xiucai for writing well. Xu You has reservations about this, if the article is really well written, it will not be so old and still a talent.
Xu You hid the impatience in his eyes, and with a look of admiration, he urged the fourth master Xu: "My nephew is awake, and my nephew will remember the teachings of the fourth uncle." I'm afraid that my grandmother is still waiting, and my nephew won't delay the fourth uncle. ”
Fourth Master Xu nodded, with some relief on his face, and patted Xu You's shoulder: "Go back!" ”
Then he went back to Pingqiu Courtyard and changed into a set of casual clothes at home, and then he took his personal servant to Lanzhi Courtyard.
After retiring from the audience, Master Xu Si and Princess Pingtai stood face to face, and they didn't know where to start for a while, and they couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. Fourth Master Xu looked at Princess Pingtai's cold appearance, sighed in his heart, and took the initiative to speak, as he had done many times before.
Princess Pingtai understands her son's temperament and knows that he will speak first if he can't stand it. But she didn't expect that what Master Xu Si said would be so unexpected.
Master Xu Si said: "Mother, I want to pass on You'er." ”
The corners of Princess Pingtai's mouth twitched: "You are still young, your eldest brother has only two children, what to say about the transition at this time." ”
After a pause, Princess Pingtai said again: "Let's talk about Brother You'er...... Square peg. ”
Master Xu Si shook his head, it turned out to be a rare firmness: "I will go to the eldest brother and sister-in-law to say, Brother You'er and I are in love, and there is no problem." The meaning of those words showed that he was not asking for Princess Pingtai's opinion, but just informing her.
Princess Pingtai stood up with a brush, and her feelings were a little out of control: "Why do you have to pass Brother Youyou?" "She has heard a little about Brother You'er's grandson, and she has a very heavy habit of being gentle, and she is not very friendly to Sister Rong and Sister Jin.
Seeing that Princess Pingtai's love was out of control, and Master Xu Si's love was even more out of control, and his eyes were still a little red when he looked closely, and Master Xu Si, who had always been gentle, also stood up, as if he was confronting Princess Pingtai.
No matter how much he spoke, it sounded like there was a hint of malice.
"Why do you have to go to Brother Youyou? You say why! Mother, you might as well not have given birth to me in the first place! ”
"Now ask me why? Mother, if you want to ask this, you should be asked by the son! ”
Princess Pingtai was shocked by Master Xu Si's words, she had been hiding in the Buddha hall for so many years, and she had never fulfilled the slightest responsibility as a mother, Xu Ting resented her, she understood. However, she didn't expect that her son not only resented her, but also hated her to the point of resentment!
At this time, Princess Pingtai's face was still the slightest cold, she never thought that there would be such a situation, and she was a little dazed and at a loss. The whole person stood there, a little more pitiful.
As soon as Master Xu Si spoke, he immediately regretted it. Anyway, the person in front of her is her mother, except for Sister Jin and Zhuozhuo, his only blood relative.
It's just that at this moment, he really can't comfort Princess Pingtai calmly. In the bottom of my heart, I am resentful in the end.
Master Xu Si sighed, lifted the hem of his clothes and knelt on the ground to kowtow to Princess Pingtai three times in a proper manner: "It's not early, mother rest." The son still has some things, so he retired first. ”
Ping Taigong took the initiative to move his lips, and wanted to open his mouth to stop Master Xu Si, but he was a little silent, and when Mama Gui came in, she didn't stop anyone.
Princess Pintae has no experience raising children, and she used to grow up in the palace, so she doesn't know what a good mother should do. She was actually a little aggrieved in her heart, when she first came out of the Buddhist hall, her son was just not very close to her, and he has gotten a lot better over time. Why did she suddenly resent her irresponsibility now?
"Your Highness." Mama Gui spoke softly, with comfort in her tone.
The bewilderment and dazedness on Princess Pingtai's face have not faded: "No one has taught me how to be a mother." ”R1152
