Along the way, the eldest lady thought about it, and no matter how she thought about it, she felt that Yulan's marriage was a pie-in-the-sky thing. In this matter, the old lady and the old lady must nod. Back in Yiningju, because the eldest master has not yet gone down, the eldest lady is a little restless.

After taking a sip of tea, he immediately called Wu's mother in, and ordered, "You go and open the storeroom, find out the few good official satins you have recently obtained, pick two, oh, pick four horses and send them to Lu Jingzhai,"

Mother Wu was taken aback. The eldest lady is stingy, although her attitude towards Yulan has gradually improved in recent days because of the relationship between the crown princess, but it has not reached this point. Those few satins were honored by the eldest girl, and the material was excellent, and the eldest lady liked it very much, so she gave it to Miss Seven.

"Ma'am?" Before Wu's mother could react, the eldest lady said again: "In addition to this matter, you go to Lu Jingzhai to take a closer look, the seventh girl's food and clothing, but there is anything inappropriate, if the girl is incompetent, all come back to report me!" ”

Mother Wu's jaw is about to fall to the ground now. The eldest lady waved her hand and said, "Don't go yet!" Mother Wu was just about to leave in a daze, and the eldest lady called her back again, "You instruct to go down, and in the future, all the supplies of Lu Jingzhai will be increased by 30%, and they will be pressed, according to Miss Yan's share." Go, go, go! ”

When Wu's mother went down, the eldest lady sighed slightly. If Yulan really became the princess of Jin, she would at least have a second-grade fate, and even her own mother-in-law would be compared. It's just that I'm thinking about enveloping her now, isn't it a little late?

Just thinking about it, a maid came in and reported: "The old man has gone down!" The eldest lady hurriedly took a few maids and mothers-in-law to the outer study. The eldest man had just changed his clothes, and before he had sat down to take a bite of tea, he saw the eldest lady break in in a hurry.

Although Aunt Liu was chased, the relationship between the husband and wife did not improve significantly, and when the eldest man saw the appearance of the eldest wife, he did not have the calm bearing of being a housewife, and his brows couldn't help frowning: "What's the matter, so anxious?" ”

The eldest lady didn't care about the dissatisfaction in the old man's tone, sat down on the pear blossom wood circle chair opposite him, and first called all the maids and maids who served to go down, and then said to him: "Master, there is a great happy event to discuss with you!" ”

The eldest man said unhappily: "What happy event can our family have?" "The prince lost power, the old lady stepped down, the eldest lord felt unlucky these days, and it was a happy event?

The eldest lady told me about today's county lord's mansion. The eldest lord was really shocked: "What? What you say is true! The prince of Jin asked to marry the seventh sister, or to be a concubine? ”

"It was the county lord who said it to me personally, and the second and fifth siblings were all present, so there will always be no mistake!"

The old man's face showed a hint of joy. Now that he has lost his father's biggest backer, and the prince can't participate too deeply in court politics, if he takes the line of King Jin, the official fortune will be prosperous in the future, and the prosperity is not just around the corner?

As for whether Yulan is happy to marry into the palace, these are of course not within his consideration.

The eldest master's tone softened: "This is indeed a good thing. ”

The eldest lady hurriedly asked, "Then the old man agrees to this family business?" ”

The eldest man said: "Such a good family affair, even if you can't find it with a lantern, I don't refuse to agree." The eldest lady said: "Then the old man quickly followed me to the Songfeng Study House and told my father, the prince of Jin is now in the limelight, and I don't know how many women and young ladies in Beijing are thinking about it, and they must settle this family business as soon as possible to feel at ease." ”

The eldest man had a headache when he saw his father, but at this time he couldn't retreat, so he could only get: "In this way, I will go with you!" ”

The eldest lady lives by herself, and the old lady refused to agree to Yuxin's matter last time, thinking that this time the old lady would no longer have any reason to object. Who knew that the two of them saw the old lady tremblingly and told the story again, but the old lady was speechless for a long time.

The eldest lady was anxious and secretly gave the eldest man a look. The eldest lord had to bite the bullet and said: "My son has always felt that this family business is not bad...... "I will tell you how much benefits you can bring to the Yang family and how much benefit you can bring to the Yang family by marrying the Jin Prince's Mansion." He had already typed the draft on the way to come, and he said it smoothly. The eldest lady was also on the side to help.

The old lady sat on the top, and the more she listened, the more her brows furrowed. He said: "Let me ask you, the concubine of King Jin died early, is there anyone else in his room?" If so, how many side concubines and how many concubines are there? Does he have children under his knees now, and if so, how many sons and daughters, which are the concubines and which are the concubines? What is the situation in the back house of the Jin Palace, and will Sister Lan have to take care of the house immediately after marrying? How much do you know about these? ”

How could the eldest lord know about these things in the back house, so he went to see the eldest wife. As soon as the eldest lady heard about this family business, she felt good, where did she have time to inquire about the affairs of Ye Yichen's house. stammered: "There should be a side concubine in the Jin Palace, who often sends posts over, and her maiden name is Qi...... As for the child, it seems that there is a sister-in-law...... This is really not clear for a while! "Where to say it clearly for a while.

The old lady smiled coldly: "Should?" Seem? Still unclear for a while? You didn't even know the details of the people and came to persuade me to agree to this marriage? You only know how much benefit Lu Dao has for you to marry Sister Lan'er, as parents, have you considered your daughter? She fills the house at a young age, can she be willing? She is the main concubine of the prince's mansion as a concubine, but she has the ability to control those side concubines? You don't want any of this, just for the glory of your own future, are you marrying your daughter or selling your daughter?! Is there any such parent in this world? ”

The eldest lady was blushing at the old lady's words. It was the mother-in-law's responsibility to say that she was married, and she didn't even inquire about the situation in the man's family, so she hurriedly responded to the reason. It's just that the eldest lady heard that Ye Yichen instructed Yulan, and the county lord personally came forward to deliver the news, so her heart was hot, so she wanted to respond immediately. I have to say that the prince is really popular now, and the eldest lady is afraid that if she starts slowly, she will lose this fast son-in-law, and she always thinks that she can rest assured that she can rest assured.

The old lady waved his hand very impatiently and said, "You go down and listen to the situation of the Jin Palace." ”

The old man and the eldest lady made a fuss again, so they had to come back disgraced. When the eldest lady returned to Yiningju, she immediately launched an investigation without mentioning it.

Yulan returned to Lujingzhai, and as soon as she rested for a while, Wu's mother came in with the official satin rewarded by the eldest lady, with sincere words and a smile. Putting down the eldest lady's reward, he told the eldest lady about his intention to improve the share of the green jingzhai again. Later, I asked the girls how the mothers were calling, and if they felt that it was not enough, they just said, and the eldest lady naturally made the decision to change her to a few clever ones.

At this moment, Mother Qian and Xiaoyue Xiaoyu were all dumbfounded. Yulan naturally understood why the eldest lady was treating herself like this, and she couldn't cry or laugh for a while. only politely entertained Mother Wu, asked the little maid to serve good tea, and said that everything was fine in Lu Jingzhai, and the mother-in-law and girls were also attentive, so they didn't have to worry about their mother's replacement.

Mother Wu flattered her for a while and finally left. Soon another girl named Nightingale came in, Yulan recognized that this was waiting in the Songfeng Study, so naturally she didn't dare to slack off, and the Nightingale said: "The old lady asks the seventh girl to go to the Songfeng Study House immediately, and he asks you if the old man has something important!" ”

Yulan sighed in her heart and said, "Please wait for my sister, I'll change my clothes and go with you!" ”

Yulan changed her clothes and followed the nightingale to the Songfeng Study, and along the way, she felt up and down, according to her personality analysis, the eldest lady and the eldest master would definitely not object to this family business, which Yulan knew very well. But the old lady is different, Yulan is afraid that the old lady will think too much, but she is unwilling to marry into the palace, if she can't pass this level, then wanting to marry Ye Yichen is just a dream.

In this era, there is no time for women to interfere in marriage matters.

Over the past year, Yulan has been under the knee of the old lady as a granddaughter, serving filial piety every day, reading excerpts, waiting for pen and ink, the old lady likes her to be smart and sensitive, articulate, and behave decently. The grandfather and grandson have already developed a very strong relationship.

Only this time the Songfeng Study House is very different. Yulan entered the room, only to see that the huge study was empty, and there was not even a single figure. The maid Nightingale who led the way closed the door, and only the two ancestors and grandchildren were left.

The old lady looked at her shrinking and worried: "I am so clever on weekdays, why did this become like this." Sit down and talk! ”

Yulan hurriedly thanked him and sat down on the side. The old lady took a sip of tea, sighed and said, "Look at your appearance, you already know about this matter!" ”

Yulan knew that he couldn't hide his grandfather's fiery eyes, so he nodded and said, "My granddaughter has already listened to what Aunt Fifth said!" This is not a lie, as soon as Yulan returned to her yard, Mrs. Fifth sent a personal mother over and told Yulan about it. Of course, the fifth wife is also kind to do this, for fear that Yulan will not know about this matter and be passive.

The old lady nodded and said, "It's good to know the way!" It is said that your parents are in charge of your marriage. But after all, you have been waiting by my side for so long, and your background is pitiful, so I pity you a little, I wanted to teach your mother to choose a good character and family style for you, the scenery and scenery to marry in the past, and live a few good days, but I didn't think that the first person to come to propose marriage was actually the prince of Jin! ”

The old lady paused slightly, and said: "I know a lot about the prince of Jin, if it is not for his own consent, the lord of Qingjiang will definitely not be his master." Regardless of your background, according to his temperament, he must marry a woman who can get into his eyes, I don't know when you actually had a head and tail with Prince Jin? Although the tone was gentle, there was also an endless sense of oppression inside. After all, the old lady is also a person who has been in the top position for a long time, and the power of life and death is only a little exposed, which is also frightening.

Yulan didn't expect the old lady to be so shrewd, under the gaze of those piercing eyes, Yulan couldn't sit still anymore, she knelt next to the chair with a puff: "The granddaughter is guilty!" ”

At that time, the etiquette and religion were still very strict, and although Yulan never regarded meeting in private as a thing, if this kind of thing was really publicized, it would definitely be a great thing.

The old lady said, "In that case, you can kneel and talk about it!" ”

If it is a conspiracy trick, how can Yulan be compared with the old lady who has been immersed in officialdom all his life, maybe the old lady already knows his lie halfway through. It's better to play the family card and make a fuss about the love of grandparents and grandchildren.

Her heart turned a thousand times, and in an instant she decided to tell the old lady part of the truth.

So Yulan told the truth about the process of falling into the hands of the enemy on the Tongzhou Road, Ye Yichen rescued her all the way, took her to travel hundreds of miles, and fled all the way back to Beijing. Yulan said: "This matter should not be hidden from my grandfather and parents, but my granddaughter really doesn't know how to speak, and I ask my grandfather to forgive me!" His Royal Highness the King of Jin saved his granddaughter's life, and he had such a ...... with his granddaughter contact, the granddaughter can no longer marry someone else except him! Fortunately, the prince does not dislike his granddaughter's humble background, and the granddaughter is really grateful, and asks her grandfather to fulfill her granddaughter! The granddaughter has no regrets in her life! ”

The old lady couldn't help but be very surprised when she heard that Yulan had such an opportunity. This was originally no wonder Yulan, the old lady was also relieved, he didn't want to appreciate this granddaughter in virtue of anything bad, he was in a good mood, so he smiled and said: "I see! The prince of Jin is strict by nature, you can get into the eyes of the prince of Jin, and you can be regarded as quite capable! I can't blame you for this, but get up and speak. ”

Yulan saw that his grandfather's tone was gentle, so he got up and sat on the chair. The old lady said: "So, are you willing to marry into the palace?" ”

Yulan said stubbornly: "The prince of Jin has a good character, Yunwen Yunwu, and has a great life-saving grace to his granddaughter, and his granddaughter is cheeky to say a word, yes...... Yes! The granddaughter has nothing else to ask for but her grandfather to fulfill it! Yulan really didn't care about face at this time. If the old lady says a word, I'm afraid that Ye Yichen won't have any way. He can't bring troops to rob Yulan and go back.

The old lady sighed: "It's the first time you ask me, if it's anything else, I will agree, just this one ......"

Yulan's heart sank, and he shouted urgently: "Grandfather! ”

The old lady patiently explained: "You are waiting by my side, every discussion is unprecedented, and your knowledge is more than a step higher than that of your brothers, I have always regretted that you did not give birth to a male body, otherwise my Yang family will definitely have a successor." Although I have never made some of my plans clear to you, I am sure you know them in your heart. I stepped down from the position of Shoufu, I don't want to get involved in too much battle for the throne, I don't have a few years to live, the second generation of the Yang family has no outstanding talents, if you rashly get involved too deeply, in the future, I am afraid that there will be a disaster of raiding the family and destroying the family. Everything should be based on a stable word first. ”

"Lord Jin is good everywhere, and I also believe that with his character and identity, there is no reason to embarrass a woman, even if it is bad for you in the future, it will not be much worse. It's a pity that he has a special identity and there are too many variables to marry him. If I were just an ordinary old man, I would naturally follow your wishes and marry you to the person you like, but now, my grandfather really does not approve of this marriage! ”

Yulan didn't understand that if he married Ye Yichen, he would inevitably let the Yang family re-enter the core of the power struggle, which was not in line with the old lady's strategy of "stability" first, so he was naturally reluctant to marry Ye Yichen.

Yulan had a premonition of the old lady's opposition, but when he really said this, Yulan still couldn't control the huge disappointment, and somehow, the tears couldn't control the flow of tears, and she said in a choked voice: "Grandfather, please be merciful, granddaughter has nothing else to ask for, please allow this thing for the sake of her granddaughter's dedication for many days!" ”

Seeing Yulan crying so bitterly, the old lady was also sad in his heart. He said softly: "Lan'er, you are not that unreasonable child, if you are replaced in my position, the fate of a family and the fate of a person, how to choose, what will you do?" ”

Yulan's mind was booming, how to speak.

The old lady said again: "Except for Ye Yichen, no matter which one you fancie, I will try my best to fulfill you." It's just that Ye Yichen can't do it! ”
