The old lady was also crawling out of the house in the early years, and all she could see in her eyes was the square inch of the house, the old lady was not too confused, and she knew that the meat was rotten in the pot, and she knew that the third and fourth were stealing his house, and these old ladies all recognized it, who called that no one in her family could come out of the council.

It's just that when it comes to the outside, the old lady can't see it, and only sees the scenery on the surface of the Wu family.

"My son is not filial, I can't agree to the Wu family's family business, there are several inappropriate here, the Qi family is just sick, people like ours pay the most attention to this, if it is passed on, others will inevitably say that our family is mean."

The old lady hurriedly smiled and said, "Where will it be spread out, Yushan, you just have to rest assured, and your two younger siblings know, where do they dare to say it, Mrs. Qiao in the second room of the Wu family will not say it out, and even the maid next to the mother has been sent out." ”

Li Ming only pointed to Mei Xiang who was standing aside, "Didn't she know it too?" ”

The old lady covered her mouth and smiled, "Mei Xiang is your person, where will she talk about it?" Mother knows that you like Mei Xiang this girl in your heart, Mother has been keeping it for you, in the early years, Mother refused to give her to you, but also this girl can hook you to Mother a few more times, Mother thought that the two of you would do it together sooner or later, and then reward you, my Yushan understands the number of etiquette, I know that this is the girl next to the Mother, I haven't touched her for so many years, Mother has been paying attention to it, you are now serving few people around you, so you will lead her to the house, and there is no need for those rules, and when the new lady enters the door, you are not allowed to treat Mei Xiang badly. ”

The old lady snorted at Mei Xiang again, "Why don't you kowtow to your marquis?" This girl likes to be silly. ”

Li Mingwei liked Mei Xiang when he was young, he was young and enthusiastic at that time, and he wished he could get it, the old mother refused to pinch him for him, and Mei Xiang also pretended to be high and refused to post it, all these years, what kind of woman has Li Houye never played, this love in the early years has long been dull by the gorgeous years, but the old mother gave it to him as a gift, Li Houye waved his hand, "You go down first, kowtow to your wife first to receive the reward." ”

Seeing Mei Xiang close the door and go out, Li Mingwei wanted to say a few words to the old mother, several princes saw that they were big, and now this court situation is ignorant, "Mother, the Wu family's relatives are a little inappropriate, the Wu family is the third prince's foreign family, and now the eldest prince is out of favor, the second prince is smart and clever, and the Zhao family supports him, if our family has a relationship with the third prince, it will make the Zhao family jealous, mother don't take care of the Wu family anymore, there should be no such thing." ”

The old lady lowered her head and pondered, "My mother also thinks it's strange, on the first day of the new year, my mother entered the palace, and I saw the queen mother and the queen mother, and the queen mother said in front of us, saying that the eldest prince is not as good as the second prince, and praised the filial piety of the second prince, Yushan means that the future prince will be the second prince?" No wonder the Queen Mother pointed out the marriage and pointed out Miss Lu to the eldest man of the Zhao family, and they all complained that you refused to make up your mind earlier, Brother Shen didn't know how to be sad, oh Brother Shen, this kid didn't know about it yet, so he had to tell him as soon as possible, and Yuqin didn't want to meet with the eldest prince first. ”

Li Mingwei rubbed the corners of his forehead, he had long been accustomed to the old mother's jumping way of speaking, and this stubble suddenly turned to Brother Shen, why did he still involve Yuqin and the eldest prince? Didn't you talk about the Wu family just now, but fortunately, Li Mingwei got used to it, and asked in a deep way, "Which Lu girl is my mother talking about?" Wei Guogong's granddaughter Lu Yan'er? ”

"Isn't it her, that little girl is beautiful and knows filial piety" Before the words were finished, Li Mingwei hurriedly cut off, if the old lady continued, I don't know where it will go.

"It can be seen that what my son said is right, the fact that the Wu family is not pro-family is inappropriate."

The old lady opened her mouth, "Yushan, you don't know, the young lady of the Wu family is beautiful, and it is difficult to find it with a lantern, and my mother has put a lot of effort into saying that she is a family." ”

"Marrying a wife should be a virtuous man, what do you want to be beautiful, it's not good to attract the jealousy of the Zhao family for this matter."

The old lady smiled, "It can be seen that Yushan, you don't understand, the Wu family and the Zhao family have also done a family business, didn't Wu Guifei's sister-in-law marry the young son of the Zhao family?" This is also the queen mother's marriage, it can be seen that the queen mother is also willing to take care of the Wu family in her heart, and Wu Guifei has holy grace, how is this not a good family business? ”

Li Mingwei almost wanted to hit his head against the wall, but he really couldn't understand it more and more, and the old mother could also tell crooked truths.

The old lady continued, "I blame you for worrying about this and that, if you are willing to make up your mind earlier, the Queen Mother will not point Lu Yan'er to the eldest grandson of the Zhao family, what a good family affair is this, you are unwilling, but you have delayed Brother Shen, do you have to say that the Wang family of Yanci County is inappropriate, and the saint is suspicious of his family, is the old man of the Queen Mother a fool?" Are you willing to let Lu Yan'er marry the eldest grandson of the Zhao family? Yushan, your man's family doesn't understand the truth of the woman's family, just say the current Miss Wu, although she is a little older, it is also because the girl is too good and refuses to take it lightly, the young lady is beautiful and capable, and there are many marriages, and the mother is in charge of this matter, so you can't delay it. ”

Li Mingwei sighed helplessly, saying that he couldn't understand, so he simply said nonsense, "My son has already fallen in love with a young lady from a family, and he has already agreed for life, so the mother should not worry about her son's family affairs." ”

The old lady hurriedly asked, "Whose girl are you in love with?" Mother helps you look at each other, Yushan, you don't know, Wu Yuqiu looks good, their family is rich and rich, and they are willing to pay 100,000 taels of silver to marry. ”

The dowry of 100,000 taels of silver should be a joke.

Li Mingwei stood up, "I don't want the girl of the Wu family, and my mother doesn't have to bother, don't take care of the Wu family in the future, the Wu family is not secret, this matter has already been spread, and the reputation of the Hou Mansion is important." After thinking for a while, he added, "The identity of the girl in my son's picture is so noble, it's not time to say it now." ”

Li Mingwei took out two letters, "Mother, take a look, even my uncle and Brother Shen know about it, and I will lose face, if this is spread out, where will the face of the Hou Mansion be." ”

After Li Hou Ye finished speaking, he turned around and went out, it seems that he has been away from the house for the past few days, there have been many things at home, just walked to the moon gate, and saw Aunt Qiao standing there with Tingting, and said with a smile, "The concubine was about to say hello to Mrs., I didn't expect to meet Hou Ye, Hou Ye is blessed." ”

Li Mingwei is used to seeing these stories, and his heart is also very useful, "You go home first, and I'll go over to see you tonight." ”

Aunt Qiao smiled coquettishly, "Master Hou must not forget, let the slave family wait stupidly." ”

Li Houye smiled, these stupid women are so coaxed, after thinking about it, I went to the study first, and asked Guo Xincheng about the things at home, just after saying a few words, Guo Xincheng's family came in, and he hesitated.

Li Mingwei said with a smile, "My house has been entrusted to the two of you, what is there to say." He looked at Guo Xincheng's family again and asked, "Why can't Brother Shen come over?" What are you rubbing? ”

Guo Xincheng's family lowered his head in fear, "The eldest prince can't come over to say hello today." ”

"What's going on? You made it clear. ”

Guo Xincheng's family had no choice but to say, "The eldest prince refused to come back, saying that he had bad luck on his body, and he was afraid of colliding with Hou Ye's Red Luan Star." ”

Li Mingwei was so angry that the green tendons on his forehead jumped, "It's really nonsense!" There is no shadow at all, but he doesn't know where he knows, and he deliberately said such a bastard to anger me, I am his son, and he dares not to come back to say goodbye! ”

Li Houye was so angry that he walked around the house a few times, and Guo Xincheng looked at each other and lowered his head.

"Let Yuqin come over for a moment." Li Mingwei commanded.

Guo Xincheng's family didn't move, "The fifth miss is not in the house now, the eldest prince sent someone to pick up the fifth lady, the old lady agreed, even the second son, the third son, the fourth miss, the eighth miss, and the ninth miss are not in the house, they are all in the eldest son's place, but the slave maid heard that the young ladies have gone to the aunt's house." ”

Li Ming's only sharp eyes looked at the past, Guo Xincheng's family didn't dare to hide it and said it again, Li Mingwei hated it, Brother Shen'er, this kid was just messing around by himself, and he also picked up Yuqin, Brother Jin and Miss Eight What did they do in the past, Qi is really, even this can be agreed, it can be seen that he is sick and confused.

After thinking about it, I went to the main room to see Qi's family, in the end, it was a husband and wife for many years, and Qi's illness Hou Ye was also very sad.

When I walked to the door of the main room, I didn't see the maid on duty, Li Ming only opened the curtain and went in, first heard a small cry, a bad smell of soup in the house, and came to the room to see, several maids were surrounded here.

Hou Ye frowned and came in, "Are you feeling better today?" ”

Qi didn't expect Li Hou Ye to come over at this time, Li Mingwei sat next to her, the little maid on the ground hurriedly went out, only Caidie stood aside to serve, Li Mingwei reached out and touched it, Qi's thin shoulder blades were protruding, and he couldn't help but feel sour, "It's only been a few days, madam, why did you lose weight like this, and now you are still taking Imperial Doctor Su's medicine?" I'll have to try a different approach. ”

Qi Shi took a breath and said, "Hou Ye will sit with which aunt in the back, it will save the sickness, the concubine has not even combed her hair at this time, and she is really unable to serve Hou Ye." ”

Li Mingwei sighed, "You don't have to worry about me, I have someone to serve, but why are you sick like this, my heart hurts like a knife, and I will find a good doctor for you." ”

Qi closed his eyes, his face was pale, his lips were bloodless, Li Mingwei felt sad, sat with his head bored for a while, saw Qi lying quietly and seemed to be asleep, as soon as he raised his leg and was about to leave, he saw a new trace on the wall, the painting that had been hanging for eighteen years was gone, Li Mingwei frowned tightly, and looked at Qi inquiringly, Qi's pale face was haggard, Li Mingwei felt sad, and when he lowered his head, he saw the painting that was thrown on several cases.

The painting had been torn into several pieces, Li Mingwei remembered in a trance, that painting was still painted by him when they were newly married to the Qi family, Qi was still very young at that time, and shyly said that he would keep it for a lifetime, and specially found someone to frame it and hang it in the inner room, looking at the calligraphy and painting torn into several pieces, Li Houye was very angry, "Madam, did you tear this painting up?" What do you mean. ”

Qi Shi opened his eyes, and his tone was light, "If it's useless, tear it up, Hou Ye will marry another sooner or later, and it won't be possible to keep this painting to block the new lady, so it's better to tear it up." ”R1152
