Chapter 252: Life (7)
Whether there are children or not can often determine the fate of a woman in the harem.
Liu Siqiong is favored again, but she does not have a prince by her side all the year round, and it is indeed a difficult thing to dominate the harem.
But if you can't fight for your stomach, you can only rely on Liu Siqiong herself, where can others help.
Liu knew that what the ancestor said was reasonable, but she was still unwilling. Liu Silu died too unjustly, and their sisters did so many things for revenge, how could they just stop with their mouths?
Besides, some things are good if they are buried in their hearts, and if they are placed on the table, they will be like a smashed bronze mirror, which can no longer be rounded.
The Liu family is so ruined that at this point, if she gives up revenge for the future of the little prince, how will she face the old ancestor and everyone in the family?
"What? Can't trust the old woman? The ancestor seemed to be smiling.
Liu smiled sarcastically, of course she couldn't believe it, after more than ten years, what the future will be, who can say for sure? Besides, under the nose of the ancestors, she may not be able to live until the day when the little prince grows up, and she may die in this deep mansion compound like Liu Silu.
Besides, Chang's pushed the little prince to the throne, that is, he put his net worth and life on the little prince, and when the little prince ascended to the throne, the virtuous concubine Niangniang sat firmly on the throne of the queen mother.
Liu didn't answer, but what she thought in her heart couldn't hide from the old ancestor, the old ancestor's fingers caressed the string of Buddhist beads on the wrist, which was when she entered the palace on June 19 this year to accompany the queen mother to listen to the Buddhist scriptures. The things that the queen mother gave were worn by the ancestors since then, and she said with a smile: "Think I'm raising tigers?" A delaying tactic? Liu's family, Liu's family, the court battle is by no means comparable to the calculation of the back house, the battle for the throne, when you are the prince, you can't avoid it, and you can't avoid it after becoming the emperor, 20 years ago, King Yong was defeated and killed himself, and 20 years later, you are still making a fuss about the remnants of King Yong. Even if the little prince will one day reign in the world, you will be a member of the Liu family. Can you protect him? The struggle for imperial power. I have seen more than you, and my Chang has experienced more than your Liu. ”
Liu lowered her shoulders, she knew that the old ancestor was a delaying tactic, but she couldn't refute it. She knows. What the ancestors said was right.
The glory of the Liu family today. All come from the virtuous concubines, and they rely on the protection of the virtuous concubines to keep a place in the capital of countless noble families. If Concubine Xian suffers, the Liu family can't do anything, if you want to assist the little prince, how much ability the mother's family has, the Liu family still knows it.
Is it to press the treasure on the other princes according to the mind of the virtuous concubine Niangniang in order to be safe, or to fight for the highest glory in the future?
Liu stared closely into the eyes of the old ancestor, her mind went blank, but soon, she understood.
The opportunity seems to be equal, before the little prince grows up, the Chang family and the Liu family have to have a competition, if the Liu family can gather their own strength, they can not rely on the power of the Chang family in the future, they can kick the Chang family away after the fact, the gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late, if the Liu family can not rise for a long time, then let the Chang family take it, give the Chang family glory, and after the death of the old ancestor from the imperial family, let the Chang family still be beautiful.
Liu gritted her teeth and hated in her heart, which was far from her and Concubine Xian's original intentions.
The old ancestor moved Liu Silu out again at this moment: "If Silu comes to choose, she will not hesitate to agree to the old woman's conditions." Things have happened, if you pursue it, both will lose, Silu will maximize her interests, she sacrificed herself for the sake of Concubine Xian, who was still a show girl, and Concubine Xian Niangniang should also seize the opportunity for Silu. ”
If it was Liu Silu, what kind of choice would she make, Liu knew the answer in her heart, and she also knew what to do best, but she was unwilling to eliminate it in her heart.
Tu could see that the Liu family had wavered, she breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Sixth brother and sister, I know that you hate in your heart, but you calm down and think about it, does your seventh sister want you to avenge her, or let the Liu family be full of glory?" ”
Liu was silent.
There are few men in the Liu clan who are officials, and the Liu family is famous for their beauty.
She and Concubine Xian can bring down the Chang family, even if they seek skin with the tiger, they can make the Chang family irreversible, but what about after that? Concubine Xian has spent her entire life, and she can only be the imperial concubine, and after she passes away, can an idle prince's foreign family really go further? Or wait for the new emperor to ascend the throne, and then find ways to support the newcomers in the harem?
That kind of future is too different from the future that the ancestors showed her.
Is it a quick knife to cut through the mess, or a fight?
Liu's hand hanging by her side clenched and loosened, loosened and clenched, and after a long time, she breathed a long sigh of relief, the corners of her lips curved, and her smile was helpless and mocking: "Compared with my ancestors, I am too tender." ”
The old ancestor still shook his head, as if he was talking to the Liu family, and as if he was listening to other people, she said: "A person, no matter what he says or does, can always trace the root, that is what he thinks in his heart, but the human heart is the most complicated thing. Rao is an old woman has lived for half her life, and there are also things that she can't see through. ”
Liu Shi was stunned, a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes, and he asked, "Old Ancestor is talking about red notes?" ”
"Yes, before letting her go to Henghan as a concubine, she was in Songling Courtyard for more than ten years, and the old woman asked herself that she had never treated her badly, but she stood on your side." The ancestor smiled bitterly, she has had a lot of loyalty in her life, and she has also been betrayed, and she should no longer care about this kind of thing, but maybe it is because she is old, thinking of the girl who grew up like a granddaughter, the old ancestor will still feel a little heartache.
At the moment when the red note eyebrows were in the center of the eyebrows, the cinnabar mole seemed to fall on the chest of the old ancestor, and it was as if the scissors had also pierced her chest.
Liu sighed lowly, she tucked her scattered forehead hair to make herself look less embarrassed, and then slowly talked about the red note.
"Do you remember the ancestors? When she met Red Note on the side of the road outside the city, she was about the same size as Yu Xi. Liu Shi compared the height of the red paper that year, and not much higher than the armrest of the Eight Immortals Chair, "It's that high." I think she's so dirty. took a set of Yu Xi's clothes and changed them for her. In my opinion, this was not a big deal, but the red note later told me that she had always remembered that it was the first time she had worn such a nice dress, and she knew then that she could wear such a good dress. ”
The corners of the old ancestor's mouth moved, and he sighed: "Even if I gave her a lot of good things later, in her eyes, it can't compare to that set of clothes." ”
Chu Weilin heard this. I was also amazed in my heart.
She had thought. There would be various reasons for the red note to join the Liu family, maybe it was gold and silver, maybe it was the future, but she never thought of it. It turns out that the reason is as simple as that.
For a hungry and cold man. For young children whose families are ruined. What made her remember it for the rest of her life was the basin of clean water that washed away the stains on her face, and the clothes that surprised her that she could dress up like a rich girl.
This is the beginning of her transformation from a beggar.
Thinking of the red note, Liu Shi was also a little embarrassed: "At first, I just wanted the red note to inquire about the old things from Chang Henghan's mouth. Later, she was asked to instigate the relationship between the Zhao family and Chang Henghan, but the child was too soft, she would not instigate, but fortunately, the two of them had a quarrel with themselves. When I asked the red note to approach Yu Ye, she didn't dare at first, and told me to be in a hurry, so I did it. But I didn't expect that she would choose to commit suicide. ”
"Don't underestimate the soft-natured child, the rabbit bites when he is in a hurry." The Old Ancestor raised his hand and pressed his eyebrows, and said, "Since she will be grateful to you for her clothes, you should understand that she will also betray you for some other reason." ”
Liu pursed his lips but did not respond.
Chu Weilin pondered the words of the old ancestor carefully, and she thought that she understood what the old ancestor meant.
Hongjian grew up with Mama Duan, although she didn't suffer any grievances, she didn't have much warmth. There has never been a person who treats her as gently as Chang Yuye, even if she knows that it is not in line with etiquette, even if the red note has bad intentions at the beginning, Chang Yuye's warmth touched her, so that she was reluctant to drag him into the water, reluctant to see him separated from Chang Henghan's father and son.
When he knew that the month of the fetus in his womb could not be concealed at all, Red Note chose to commit suicide, even if he paid for his life, he had to keep the secret.
Ironically, Chang Yuye lost his words after drinking and shouted the name of the red note.
"These things, when you get out of this door, don't mention a word again," the old ancestor said solemnly, "Liu, since we choose to be grasshoppers on a rope, we will rot the old things in our stomachs, and I won't say anything in front of Hengyi." No matter what you think of him in your heart, on the surface, you are always husband and wife. Yu Xi is thoughtful, she still has to say kiss, don't let her see the clues. ”
Liu lowered her eyes, she knew that the ancestor said that it was rotten in the stomach, then it would never lead to any rumors, these things were exposed, there was no benefit to Changfu, for the sake of Changfu, the ancestor would definitely keep the secret, and he would also let others keep the secret.
It's just that Chang Hengyi is there, the Liu family doesn't care about anything, she can give up revenge for the virtuous concubine and the little prince, but by no means let go of hatred, she still hates Chang Hengyi very much, if she is in the same room, she is afraid that one day she will be unable to help but insert the scissors into Chang Hengyi's chest.
"I'll handle the matter with him by myself, and I don't have to worry about my ancestors." Liu said lightly.
The old ancestor glanced at the Liu clan and admonished, "If you don't want others to see something, it's best to have everything as before." ”
Liu was silent.
The old ancestor raised his chin at Chu Weilin: "Let people fetch water." ”
Chu Weilin responded, got up and went out to order his subordinates.
Mama Duan personally brought water in and waited for Liu's to clean her face, Liu's crying was terrible just now, and now her eyes are red and swollen, and she can't cover it at all.
Liu didn't care, he didn't look in the mirror, he cleared his throat, and said, "No matter what, I always have to go into the palace to see Concubine Xian." ”
"That's as it should be." Ancestor Dao.
The Liu family left Songling Courtyard first, and many maids and women saw her and talked about it.
Over the years, it seems that it is rare to see the ancestor reprimanding his daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law, Liu's appearance, as if he had done something wrong and asked the ancestor to teach him, thinking that Tu and Chang Yuyun were still in Songling Courtyard, I couldn't help but think, isn't it the second room to complain?
They can't guess what the situation is, probably because of the Da Zhao family, and several daughters-in-law are fighting for power and profit.
When Tu Shi came out, she heard a few words, she sneered, did not explain, and went straight back to Qinglan Garden.
The old ancestor left Chang Yuyun to speak, and said seriously: "I don't know how long I can stabilize her, she agreed for the time being today, but when I see Concubine Xian, maybe there will be changes." Even if Concubine Xian agreed, it can't be said that there is no one in case. Yu Yun, while I can still say a word in front of the saint and the queen mother, let's think about it at the beginning of spring next year, first, it is an experience, and second, to avoid this eventful capital. If there is really any change, I will let them divide the family first, no matter how ruthless the Liu family is, what they hate is the long room and the fourth room, and it has nothing to do with the second and third rooms. Remember the words of the old woman, and you can have the last laugh if you live a long time. ”
Chang Yuyun was moved, this is the words of the old ancestor who poured out her heart and lungs, she is thinking about Chang Fu all the time, Chang Yuyun held the hand of the old ancestor and nodded: "The sixth uncle is not a fool, don't worry." ”
This is just a comforting word, Chu Weilin and Chang Yuyun both know that the Liu family is going to overthrow the entire Chang family, and even if the ancestor hurriedly separated the family in his previous life, he still did not save anyone.
In this life, after such a conversation, no one can say whether the Liu family will change.
But as a person, you always have to look forward, they live again, how can they watch the Liu family cut off their way of life.
Coming out of Songling Courtyard, the husband and wife returned to Ji Jinyuan together.
Brother Lin hadn't seen his parents for most of the day, so he stretched out his hand to hug him, Chu Weilin hugged his son with a smile and kissed him on the cheek.
Brother Lin giggled, and rubbed a lot of saliva on Chu Weilin's face, elated.
Chang Yuyun changed his clothes and returned to the east room, Shui Fu and Huanyi were setting the table, the steaming meal was full of aroma, at a glance, it was the dish that the two of them liked on weekdays, and a small bowl of egg custard, which was prepared for Brother Lin.
Chu Weilin didn't rush to eat, tried the temperature of the egg custard, and fed it to Brother Lin by hand, while listening to Fang's mother talk about the child's situation that day, a smile hung on her face, as if the previous Liu's incident had not affected her emotions.
Chang Yuyun looked at such a picture, and unconsciously, there was a smile in his eyes.
No matter what happens outside, their couple's small days can always make him feel warm, and this warmth will give him the strength to resolve the ups and downs outside.
The burden was on his shoulders, but his mood gradually relaxed, Chang Yuyun walked to Chu Weilin and sat down, and asked her with a smile: "Linlin, if you are released next year, where do you want to go?" (To be continued......)
