Chapter 13: The Uncle Who Likes Deer
Walking straight to the second door, the little maid retreated politely, Huang Gongzi looked back at his eyes, and said to himself with a smile: "This little deer is really interesting." ”
A team of guards quietly followed, and just when they heard this, although they didn't dare to raise their heads, they were muttering in their hearts, why did the uncle suddenly become interested in deer today? I've said this twice.
The leader respectfully waited for Huang Gongzi to get into the carriage, and secretly thought to himself, maybe it's time to add a pair of deer to the uncle's back garden?
It's just that there is no need to say this kind of trivial matter, the man also got into the carriage, and said in a low voice: "The young lady in the forest was surnamed Gu, and she was the third lady of the Changguo family, and the son was the maiden nephew of the Duchess of Changguo, and the parents were gone, and the uncle couldn't tolerate it, so he only attached to his aunt's family, and they didn't know Uncle Ludao, they only thought that he was the cousin of the princess of King Yan." The young lady by the water in the back is surnamed Zhang, she is a Miss Sun of the Weiwu Hou family, and there are no other men around her, but on the sixteenth day of the previous child, Princess Liu Jun went back to the Weiwu Hou Mansion and met the ladies in the Weiwu Hou Mansion. ”
Huang Gongzi nodded, Princess Liu Jun is the aunt of Concubine Qing in the palace, she has always been very close, and she has to enter the palace every other day to ask Concubine Qing Niangniang for peace, this matter is already very clear when she finds it here.
It seems that the young lady of the Gu family really thinks that he is a poor child and wants him to be the wronged leader, but this young lady of the Zhang family is different.
Concubine Qing, that's the second master's mother.
Seeing that he didn't say how to deal with the matter, the man lowered his head and prepared to leave, but the old man asked irrelevantly: "What about the young lady?" ”
And one more?
The man was stunned for a moment before he reacted: "That young lady is Miss Sun of the Zhou family of Zhenguo Gong, and the niece of the Hou Shizi of Wu'an." ”
Although he was not prepared, at least according to the rules, the people who have been with the uncle have to figure out the ins and outs, and Zhou Baolu's identity is naturally known.
Huang Gongzi listened, he still just nodded, and did not speak, a beautiful girl in the carriage with ice muscles and jade bones, dressed in a light blue gauze dress, boiled a pot of tea, the fragrance of tea overflowed, permeating the entire carriage, Qianqianyu held a curling stone, poured a cup and sent it to Huang Gongzi, the man did not dare to delay, and quietly retreated.
Huang Gongzi stared at the jade hand holding the green smoke thin jade cup, and a pair of red gold bracelets inlaid with rubies on his wrist were shining brightly, he didn't know what Lu Dao thought of for a while, he was stunned, and forgot to take the tea.
There was silence for a while, only the sound of horses' hooves was heard.
Zhou Baolu felt that today's events were really interesting, the rest of the time, she was in a very good mood, as long as she thought about it, she couldn't help laughing, in the afternoon, many of the ladies said goodbye and went back, even the Miss Wu family who was bent on overwhelming everyone also quietly left, Zhou Baolu just got free, and was about to go to find Chen Yi'an's brothers, but saw that a bright red, gorgeous figure was surrounded by a group of maids.
It's really so gorgeous at any time, Zhou Baolu saw the visitor, and immediately smiled: "Little aunt, little aunt, where did you go, I've been looking for you for a long time." ”
The person who came was a jade snow-like beauty, but sixteen or seventeen years old, standing in the flowers, even the surrounding flowers lost their color, it was the young daughter of Wu'an Hou, Chen Xiqing, the ninth aunt of the Chen family, she saw Zhou Baolu and took her hand: "You still say it, I can't find you when I come, I heard that the eldest sister went to Rong'an Hall, I thought you followed, so I went to look for you." It's really obscure, that guy is all there, and I don't know what Lu Dao is talking to the big sister, when I see me go in, the color of my face is not color, the big sister looks at me lightly, as if I offended her, I asked where you are, and you won't tell me, I won't kidnap where you are going, as for guarding me so much? There is also that Chen Qi, who is a mess in his own home, and he is also good at adjusting three nests and fours, and he speaks in a weird manner, I am not comfortable, and I don't give her a good face! ”
The two of them stood next to each other biting their ears.
These two people almost grew up together, and they were both brought up by Zeng's family, and their tempers were almost the same, and they were the most fatal, and there were endless words to say when they met, Zhou Baolu heard her talk about Mrs. Yang and her two daughters who instigated their mother, and knew that there was a story about it, so she smiled and said: "Come on, come on, while I'm free at this time, you tell me, I also have a fresh story here, wait for you to say, I'll talk about it." ”
It turned out that Chen's biological mother died early, leaving only her and the current Wu'an Hou son Chen Xihua two blood and blood, and later the Hou Ye Chen Changling married the eldest daughter of the long-lost Shouning Hou to fill the house, and gave birth to two sons and two daughters, and the discussion that Chen heard today came from the two daughters of the stepmother.
The Chen family is a careful person, and he is a soft-hearted person, even if now Mrs. Wu'an Hou and the prince of Wu'an Hou have already torn their faces for the inheritance of the title, and most of the imperial capital knows the way, the Chen family still thinks about the mud.
She has no other skills, and she only persuades her brother to endure when she goes back.
It's rare to go back to her parents' house today, and she can't help but persuade her brother again: "Even if Mrs. has some grievances against you and your daughter-in-law, how big of a deal can it be?" In the end, it is the mother, filial piety is still important, whose son and daughter-in-law have no grievances in front of the mother? It's not that I said, my brother and daughter-in-law are good at everything, it's just that this temper is too strong, people like ours still have to be soft, otherwise it won't be like it if people look at it. ”
Chen Xihua knew the temper of his sister, so he couldn't bear to say anything, and Chen also nagged: "I have less days at home now, and I have no energy, and I see that Lu'er is also following Xueye, that kind of domineering character, I can make trouble at home just after I came back, and I am angry with the family law, and my legs are weak, but fortunately, the princess hurts her, so it is over, the people in the yard are the people in the house of the prince, and there are young masters, how can it be good if it is stiff?" I can't come forward to appease him, hey! ”
He sighed as he spoke.
Chen Xihua continued to endure, this matter was originally his handiwork, and Zeng Shi had already replied to him the details of this matter, and his niece was decisive and intelligent, and he appreciated it very much.
It's just that although this sister can't be counted on in a daze, in the end, she is her own sister, Chen Xihua has to persuade two sentences: "Sister is too worried, even if she has a son, she is just a slave, she can't go beyond you, and she can't compare to Lu'er, sister don't pay attention to them, and do more to raise her body." ”
Chen only felt that her brother and sister-in-law didn't understand her situation, sighed for a long time, and chattered about the unsatisfactory for a long time, Chen Xihua continued to have guests here to worship, and she didn't sit much, so she went to the main room to ask Mrs. Yang for Wu'anhou, and as soon as she walked up the steps, she heard Mrs. Yang's two biological daughters talking about Zhou Baolu in front of Mrs. Yang.
"That kind of domineering temperament, and the sister-in-law is full of learning, hey, I have heard it several times outside, several ladies said that the eldest lady of the Zhenguo family is likable, and there is grandeur in action, and she is worthy of being the eldest granddaughter of the princess. I still want to think about it, it's a shame that you haven't seen her in our house, how can you have the appearance of a young lady, and the village girl in the countryside is softer than her. ”
It was the fourth aunt and grandmother of the Chen family who said this.
The seventh aunt and grandmother answered with a smile: "What the fourth sister said is right, although I rarely come home, I have seen it twice with my own eyes, relying on the eldest sister-in-law to protect her, it is more majestic than the young lady at the head of our house!" I don't want to think about it, but it's Miss Cousin, when the mother is not there, there is nowhere to go, so she is raised in our house, but she is just under the fence, do you still think you are a serious lady? ”
Chen's eyes were red when he heard this, and he felt sorry for his daughter's life, and he was angry that his daughter was not angry, so that people had something to say, and the big girl behind him listened to it, her eyes flashed, she pursed her lips, and said in a low voice: "Madame doesn't have to go in, right?" ”
Chen refused, in her opinion, Mrs. Yang is not also a mother in a thousand ways, the etiquette cannot be abolished, and it is necessary to go back to her parents' house to ask for peace.
There were only Mrs. Yang and her two biological daughters in the house, and none of the other aunts and grandmothers.
Seeing Chen come in at this time, the two younger sisters couldn't help but show a little embarrassed look, they had been talking badly about Zhou Baolu in this room before, obviously Chen heard it, but everyone knew the temperament of this aunt, Chen Qi's eyes rolled, and when Chen asked Mrs. Yang to say goodbye, he said: "Big sister only came this time, we have all been here for a while, why didn't Sister Lu come?" Hey, I told my mother and sister before, Sister Lu is not young, or should learn the rules, people like us, such a girl, I am afraid of causing jokes. ”
This made the arranger behind Zhou Baolu say it above board.
Chen's mouth moved, and he said with little confidence: "Lu'er is still young...... It would be nice to be older for her. ”
Sure enough, he didn't say anything.
Chen Si said with a smile: "This is the New Year, Sister Lu is also thirteen, and it is also time to pick others, if the eldest sister still doesn't care, I'm afraid it will be too late." ”
Chen was also worried about this in his heart, and was stunned for a while.
Everyone exchanged a look, Mrs. Yang smiled and said: "The granddaughter is nothing else, that is, the temperament is a little wild, in my opinion, the Buddhist scriptures are the most meditative, the eldest aunt and grandmother turned around and detained her to copy some Buddhist scriptures every day, and it is a blessing and a pleasant nourishment, maybe the granddaughter is just afraid." ”
Chen's heart moved, and he couldn't help but nod.
Chen Si and Chen Qi looked at each other, and they both saw each other's smiles.
Chen Qi is the most enthusiastic about the struggle in the backyard, and almost didn't think much about it, he had a sub-story to teach Chen, how to tell Zhou Baolu, how to make Zhou Baolu copy it willingly, inside and out, what he said was reasonable, and Chen, who listened to the article, just nodded, and felt that it was appropriate.
Mrs. Yang and Chen Si were both smiling on the side, occasionally echoing a few sentences, so that Chen completely listened.
