260. 261 An unusual calm
Early the next morning, the full moon rushed to Mingshui Pavilion to say goodbye.
Linghuquan lived in Anping Wangfu a few days ago, and when he heard that the full moon was back, he also returned to the Hou Mansion early this morning. It is also because of the old lady's birthday tomorrow that Linghu Quan always has to show up.
Ling Huquan saw the full moon, with a long-lost smile on his face, and took the full moon's hand and asked long and short questions.
Although he knew her temper, Ling Huquan was still worried that the full moon would be unpleasant in the palace, and now seeing her spend a month in a smooth way, Ling Huquan was also relieved.
But when she heard the full moon tell about Lin Yidonghe in Weiyang Palace, she still gasped. Ling Huquan only felt that it was another risky move. Although the full moon is now back safely, it is the Nine-Fold Palace, and if something happens, Linghu Quan and Linghu Hongxi will not have time to pass.
Fortunately, there is no danger now.
"Full moon, tomorrow night is the old lady's birthday, this year's birthday was held in a hurry, and there are only a few days to prepare, this time Zhao Yuer is fully responsible, I heard that she went to look for you?" Ling Huquan has always been lukewarm about the old lady's affairs, in fact, now, she cares more about the full moon than the old lady.
"Auntie, Zhao Yu'er came to me to help with today's birthday, but I came back and brought back the Buddhist scriptures that needed to be copied, so I really couldn't spare time, but fortunately, Miss Zhao was also very open, and she didn't insist," the full moon said lightly.
It's not that she deliberately conceals Ling Huquan, what Zhao Yu'er is like, Ling Huquan may not be unreal.
"That Zhao Yu'er-heh-"
Sure enough, when Ling Huquan mentioned Zhao Yu'er, there was a little more contempt on his face.
"Auntie, is it because she wore white clothes in her first year of junior high school?"
Linghu Quan was not there that day, and if he was there, he wouldn't say much, but in fact, the old lady sang the whole audience.
"This is one of them, I'm afraid that she is always thinking about the position of the head of the Hou Mansion." Ling Huquan said the key.
The full moon also thought of it early, but he pretended to be stupid and never took the initiative to mention it.
Marrying a wife or taking a concubine is a father's business, and the old lady has the right to talk to her aunt, but there is no reason for her daughter to say much, so the full moon just waits and listens.
"In fact, if you want to stop Zhao Yu'er, it depends on whether your aunt and grandmother have the right candidates. Full Moon knew that her aunt rarely took the initiative to come forward in these things, but her grandmother didn't. ”
The full moon followed Ling Huquan's words, and seeing Ling Huquan nodded, the full moon felt a chill in his heart, it seems that the old lady has found a suitable candidate when she goes to the Yue Xiangguo Temple.
"Hmm. Tomorrow is the time for the old lady to show the suitable candidates she has selected to everyone in the Hou Mansion. Ling Huquan glanced at the full moon with some concern.
Because the old lady is dissatisfied with the full moon, once she brings back the people, she is only afraid-
"Full moon, no matter what, this new lady has entered the door, you have to endure a little at first, you can't be like when facing the second lady, this family always needs a decent lady." Ling Huquan seemed to have been brewing for a long time, and finally spoke.
She felt both distress and guilt for the full moon. But the water in the Hou Mansion is so deep, and if she is a helpless daughter's family, if she is not in harmony with every lady, it will be extremely unfavorable to her in the end.
The heart of the full moon is as cold as water, but the face follows the meaning of Linghu Spring, which is decent and generous.
"Auntie rest assured, in the past, the full moon was young and ignorant, and there were many times when she contradicted her grandmother and second lady, but now that her grandmother has brought the right person back, the full moon will definitely not disappoint your aunt."
said so, the heart of the full moon has never been warm.
Ling Huquan also has her helplessness, after all, the water spilled by the married daughter, if it weren't for the identity of Princess Anping, and Ling Huhongxi's love for this sister, just based on the old lady's meaning, naturally she didn't want to see Ling Huquan in the Hou Mansion.
For the old lady, only those who have the value of use can stay in the house.
Ling Huquan did not obey the old lady's wishes whether openly or secretly, and King Anping died, although the emperor and the queen mother took good care of Ling Huquan, but after all, Ling Huquan had no actual rights and no military power in hand, but he was just guarding an empty Anping Palace.
The old lady is naturally not pleasing to the eye.
"Auntie, in fact, the full moon understands that these words of the aunt are for the good of the full moon in the future. In this Hou Mansion, the father is the marquis of the court, not to say that there are many opportunities, but he is also busy with government affairs, and the full moon is ashamed that the daughter's family can't help her father, what she can do is to follow the rules and not bring trouble to her father. Since the grandmother has a suitable candidate, no matter what, the grandmother is the head of the family except for the father, and the full moon must be respected.
Auntie rest assured, the full moon knows how to do it, and the full moon will not disappoint my aunt. ”
In the face of Linghu Spring, the full moon is also a rare relaxation.
But she knew that her heart was not completely honest and calm.
The right person brought back by the old lady, no matter who it is, is the old lady's choice, can enter the eyes of the old lady, and become the old lady's right and left hand in the future, not to mention helping the old lady push the Hou Mansion to a higher position, this suitable person is not a simple role.
Ling Huquan looked at the full moon with satisfaction and nodded slightly.
"I'm relieved that you can think so. In fact, for you, I, as an aunt, have never taken much care of me before, I just want to be able to watch the scenery and marry in the future, as a woman all her life is just a husband and a child, you can be a female official now, and you will marry in the future, you know? ”
Ling Huquan has something to say, in fact, she doesn't approve of the full moon becoming the second Rongle. Because in Linghu Quan's eyes, it was only a matter of time before the full moon surpassed Rongle! With her intelligence, Mo said that she was a fourth-grade female official, and it was possible to be a second-grade and first-grade in the future.
But is this really a good thing for her?
In Linghuquan's heart, he still hopes that the full moon can marry peacefully.
"Got it, auntie. The Full Moon doesn't want to get involved in too much complexity, the simpler the better. ”
The so-called extreme must be opposed.
Even though in the bottom of her heart, she has seen through a qiē, and the simplicity she wants will never belong to her.
Looking at the full moon with his eyebrows lowered and his eyes thoughtful, he let Fox Quan breathe a long sigh of relief.
Full Moon knew that the sincerity on her face had touched Ling Huquan, and as for what happened next, not both she and Ling Huquan could control it.
――
After the full moon left, Mother Qi, the steward of Mingshui Pavilion, walked in and carefully served tea.
Seeing Ling Huquan's worried face, Qi's mother comforted her softly,
"Princess, the eldest lady has become more and more handsome in the past six months, and she will definitely be able to promise a good family in the future, so the princess will put her heart in her stomach."
Ling Huquan came back to his senses, his eyes were in a trance, and he said quietly,
"This kid is clear-minded but refuses to go along with those people, but fortunately, he is smart and sensible, and I hope that this Hou Mansion will be peaceful for a while in the future."
Ling Huquan's words are not unreasonable.
Now the second lady's virtue is hopeless. And since the old lady can go to Xiangguo Temple, she has also moved out the last killer card, which is enough to shut up the second lady, and it is also enough to be worthy of the name of Mrs. Houfu. Originally, the old lady wanted to keep it until the last resort, but she didn't expect to use it now.
For the old lady, it was under the internal and external troubles that she had to come up with the last killer card in distress.
It's just that the suitable person selected by the old lady, although he is the old lady's person, will not make too out-of-the-ordinary actions in a short period of time when he has just entered the house.
As soon as you want to see tomorrow night's birthday banquet.
――
The full moon returned to the Pujia Pavilion, and the face sank like water all the way.
Tie Ying was injured, and it was inconvenient to go out to run errands in a short period of time, so Lin Yidongyao sent Yinxiu to protect her in secret early this morning.
Tie Ying is responsible for the security of the Pujia Pavilion, and the Hidden Gold is in the dark to protect the full moon at all times.
Pujia Pavilion seems to be peaceful and quiet for a day, but the masters hidden in the shadows outside are always in an endless stream, it seems that the old lady is going to be hard at a critical moment because of the second lady's incident last time.
At night, the full moon lies down to rest, but it always can't sleep steadily, although the beginning of autumn, the night is unusually hot. really responded to the autumn tiger, more humid than the sultry heat of summer.
The full moon woke up in the middle of the night, got up and wiped his face, and it was quiet outside the window, not even a trace of wind.
The overly quiet space gave her a sense of tranquility and oppression before the storm. It's as if the air has stopped circulating.
Again, she thought of four words - eventful.
――
Early the next morning, the house was lively.
The old lady is very popular in Kyoto, although the dinner has not yet begun, there are many familiar ladies of the family who came to say goodbye, and the front hall is full of laughter and laughter.
The full moon has been staying in the Pujia Pavilion to hide and be quiet, bowing his head to copy Buddhist scriptures.
Until the last moment, she didn't want to leave the Pavilion and go to the front hall.
I don't know when she became so fond of quiet.
After a while, Ning Jing and Ximeng walked in together, and when they saw the full moon copying Buddhist scriptures, they didn't speak, one was playing a fan next to them, and the other was making tea and adding water.
"How's the antechamber?" The full moon let go of the problem and closed her eyes.
From morning to now, it has been two hours, and she has been sitting here copying Buddhist scriptures, and she rarely even moves.
I cherish my dreams and quietly admire my young lady's determination.
Even Yinxiu, who secretly protects her, has an indescribable feeling of moving. The front hall outside is bustling with all the excitement of the frying, but this Miss Linghu is as steady as Mount Tai copying Buddhist scriptures with peace of mind, with such determination and perseverance, it is no wonder that His Royal Highness the Fifth Highness favors her.
From her, Yin Xiu seemed to see the style that the Fifth Highness admired the most, outstanding but indifferent as the wind.
Ximeng and Ning Jing glanced at each other and said separately,
"The front hall is very lively, but it is all the old lady and some family ladies, the Hou Ye has not come back yet, Miss Zhao is busy before and after, and the old lady praises her vigorously."
"Aunt Wu and the fourth lady were also present, but the fourth lady didn't talk much, and the old lady's eyes were cold when she looked at her, but Aunt Wu was cautious, for fear of making the old lady unhappy."
