Seventy-three

The county lord of Taichang is fifteen years old this year, only a little younger than the second prince, she has a very square face, her complexion is slightly dark, and her clothes are very ordinary, but her eyebrows are very dark, and her eyes are very bright.

Zhou Baolu intuitively felt that this was a person who was not easy to deal with, and it was definitely not easy to fool, so she instinctively chose to be open and honest.

Although the county lord of Taichang has a noble status, but because she has no family to follow, she is just an empty title, so she rarely comes out to walk around, and her father died early because of the rescue, and her mother is a widow and abides by the etiquette law.

Zhou Baolu has thought about this problem, from the situation of the mother and daughter of Taichang County, it can be imagined that their mother and daughter should be more introspective, pragmatic, and proud people, although the imperial court treats their mother and daughter preferentially, but in fact, their identities and family backgrounds are not so compatible, they are not willing to go too far, so that people look down on them, and although their husbands are loyal to death, they are always not dead, and they are self-sustaining.

Zhou Baolu feels that such people are particularly difficult to deal with, because they will have stubbornness in their personalities and refuse to turn around, which is very nerve-wracking.

Of course, the county lord of Taichang was also taken aback when he received Zhou Baolu's post, although she was given to marry as the princess, and she would be the princess and princess of the county in the future, but she didn't expect that the olive branch of the top wealthy family would come so early.

The two looked at each other, and Zhou Baolu smiled first: "Sister Taichang is here, and it just so happens that the two princesses have just arrived, and they haven't gone in yet, but they are just talking." ”

When Zhou Baolu wants to please people, he can really make people likable, that is, the Taichang county lord is more self-controlled, and slightly stereotypical people think that this big-eyed little girl is very likable, smiles happily, and has a sweet mouth, especially when the Taichang county lord does not recognize people's shortcomings, he is very long-sleeved and good at dancing, and no one will feel embarrassed.

As he was talking, Wang Jinxiu's sedan chair also arrived, and before Zhou Baolu could speak, the eldest princess first made a big joke: "Ouch, the third brother and sister are here." ”

Suddenly made Wang Jinxiu a big red face, they were used to making trouble, and they almost chased after the eldest princess.

Only then did the county lord of Taichang know that this was the third princess of the royal gift, the daughter of the royal family.

Zhou Baolu pulled Wang Jinxiu and said with a smile: "It just so happens that you are here, Xiaorou is thinking about you, you can accompany the second princess to go in and sit." ”

Wang Jinxiu is such a well-behaved person, at a glance, he knew that Zhou Baolu had a trick, so he smiled and said: "It's rare to meet the second princess, let's go in and sit, I heard that Xiaolu has dozens of pots of ink chrysanthemum at home, and the varieties are different, and it is rare that she is willing to invite us to come." There is also the cook in their small kitchen who makes snacks for the princess, which is given by the saint, and Huaiyang snacks are better than local restaurants, Xiaolu said that he was specially borrowed to serve today, let's try it. ”

The second princess still smiled softly and went in with Wang Jinxiu.

Zhou Baolu invited the county lord of Taichang and the eldest princess to sit in his room, this meeting, the county lord of Taichang has never forgotten in his life, when she was talking, she thought from beginning to end that this was Zhou Baolu for the eldest princess and herself, but after going home, she savored it carefully, and suddenly realized that the eldest princess was just talking, and it was the little girl with big eyes who really led the conversation. And after this conversation, she really looked at Zhou Baolu with admiration.

The eldest princess is a straightforward person, Zhou Baolu also chose to be open and honest, and she entered the topic very quickly, and she was very sincere, so the vigilance that the county lord of Taichang had unconsciously opened since receiving the post slowly let go, and she knew that the eldest princess said these words to her because she would soon become the second princess.

She also said directly: "The husband is the wife, even in the future, I will only take care of the inner house, serve the upper and lower levels, and the major affairs outside, where is there a place for me to speak?" ”

The widowed mother taught her very strictly, as a woman's rules and etiquette, chastity and virtuousness, from childhood to adulthood, every word and deed, has long been deeply carved into the bones, of course, there is pride and dignity.

Zhou Baolu listened to them and suddenly smiled: "Listening to Sister Taichang's words, I think of an Aunt Gu in our family. ”

Compare your aunt to her? The county lord of Taichang changed color, and was about to rebuke him, Zhou Baolu had already continued: "Aunt Gu entered the mansion, behaved most appropriately and thoughtfully, and knew books and etiquette, and the female commandment can be recited backwards, really not like an aunt, I am very curious, seeing that her words and deeds are very respectable, I also deliberately asked twice, it turned out that her father was involved in the piracy case on the beach, and was executed by the red letter, along with the men over fifteen years old in the family, they were all beheaded, and the family assets were confiscated and left out. Aunt Gu's mother is also well-known for her virtue, serving her parents with filial piety, treating her husband respectfully, loving her children, and treating her concubines fairly.

I listened to Aunt Gu's words, but I wondered, the so-called wife and husband are less virtuous, is this virtuous or not? ”

The county lord of Taichang was stunned for a long time, and suddenly asked, "How is this Aunt Gu now?" ”

Zhou Baolu said with a smile: "It's not bad now, I am favored by my husband, and now I am pregnant and waiting to give birth in the backyard." can also take care of the younger brother one or two. ”

No matter how good it is, she has been reduced from an official lady to an aunt, which is a better way out of the fall......

The county lord of Taichang said slowly: "The theory of virtue is only from the heart, there is the misfortune of Aunt Gu's family, but there is also such a virtuous lady as Mrs. Lin Ge, I listened to my mother's teaching at home, and naturally kept the chastity of the girl, that is, in the future, the marriage matter will be decided by the saint, and I am naturally the husband for the sky, and the husband's affairs outside are not what our women should ask." Chicken Si Chen, how to make. ”

The eldest princess is most afraid of listening to this kind of words, and before she finished listening, she has already shown a miserable expression, Zhou Baolu saw that she was going to speak, and knew that it must be inappropriate, so she quickly stopped and smiled: "Sister Taichang is right, this kind of thing doesn't need to be asked, I listen to the eldest princess's meaning, it's not an outside matter, it's just a matter of the head brother in the family, right?" ”

Xiaolu is too good at turning corners! The eldest princess almost wanted to applaud her, and the county lord of Taichang said: "I understand what the eldest princess meant, Qing Concubine Niangniang's actions that day, I also know the situation, His Royal Highness is not to blame, I think it is naturally in the face of the second highness, it's just that my own brother, if you have something to say, just say it clearly, it has nothing to do with me." ”

This is an upright and rigid person, and he speaks clearly and leaves no room at all, Ding is Ding Mao is Mao, Zhou Baolu breathed a sigh of relief, although such a person is difficult to deal with...... Because you can't convince her, but you are a person who can distinguish between good and bad, stereotypical people have the advantages of being stereotyped, and sleek people also have the benefits of being sleek, it just depends on how you make friends with her.

Anyway, Zhou Baolu didn't need to convince her, she just needed to express Xiao Hongcheng's kindness through her.

Although Xiao Hongcheng did not say it explicitly that day, Zhou Baolu actually knew in his heart that Xiao Hongcheng meant that he didn't really want to solve the matter by such a conversation, what he wanted was just a posture, a statement, as for how much the two princes heard and believed, Xiao Hongcheng didn't care so much.

Even to be precise, this conversation is enough as long as it reaches the ears of the emperor.

Zhou Baolu smiled and invited them to sit in the back garden together, but the county lord of Taichang said: "Since what the Grand Duke has said has already been said, I don't have to go to the back, so I will leave." ”

It's really too much.

Zhou Baolu couldn't keep it, so she had to send her to the door in person.

The lord of Taichang County has an ordinary family background, sitting in a small sedan chair with magpie Dengmei, which has stopped in the courtyard of the second gate at this time, and a daughter-in-law of thirty is waiting for her to get on the sedan chair at the door, and she also lifted the sedan chair curtain in a proper manner: "Miss, please get on the sedan chair." ”

The county lord of Taichang had just taken a step on one leg, and Zhou Baolu suddenly grabbed her wrist with one hand, and said with a smile: "Hey, I have this memory, I actually forgot, I just sent someone to pack some snacks and ask Sister Taichang to bring it to my aunt to taste." ”

She was anxious, and her hands were heavy, the county lord of Taichang was defenseless, and she was actually pulled by her to stumble, and she took several steps back before standing firmly, and she was unhappy in her heart: "You ......"

The two of them took three steps back, and at this time they had already retreated behind Cherry, and Zhou Baolu immediately changed his face: "Take these people down!" ”

There were already a lot of small servants waiting on the second door, although I didn't understand what was going on at this time, but the eldest lady suddenly attacked, and everyone still instinctively forced up, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Taichang county lord who carried the sedan chair exclaimed: "Miss...... Miss...... We were wronged, we didn't do anything. ”

The county lord of Taichang might as well suddenly have such a strange change, he was stunned for a moment, and then he was furious: "Miss Zhou, what are you going to do!" Are you going to detain me? ”

Zhou Baolu didn't move, and only sent the maid: "You guys hold the county lord first." ”

The four maids hugged each other, the county lord of Taichang was a little girl, even if she had housework on weekdays, she didn't want to struggle.

Zhou Baolu shouted: "Take it all down for me, quickly!" ”

The mother-in-law saw that the situation was not good, and turned around and wanted to run, the mother could even see that there were a few punches and kicks, but in the end they were not able to defeat many men on the second door, in addition to the small maid and the guards, plus the cherry shot, it didn't take much effort to be all tied up strongly.

The county lord of Taichang was stopped by a few maids, so he had to sneer: "Miss Zhou has a lot of ability, but what is the use of detaining me, it's in vain." ”

Zhou Baolu didn't pay attention to it immediately, and motioned for Cherry to search her body, Cherry □leaned down and searched for the daughter-in-law, and then suddenly got started, slowly groped on her face, and then tore off her face like a trick.

Everyone was shocked, no one spoke for a while, and after the skin was torn off, the face of a young woman with a four-five resemblance was revealed.

When did the county lord of Taichang see such a scene, his face turned white with fright, and even Zhou Baolu was shocked even though he knew that something was wrong, but he didn't expect that he could tear his face off.

The county lord of Taichang stammered: "You, who are you, why are you pretending to be Mother Xu." ”

Although she is rigid, she is not stupid, of course, she knows that these people spend such strength, pretending to be a sedan chair mother, definitely not to send her home safe and sound.

These people obviously wanted to carry her away quietly, as for the consequences of being carried away...... The county lord of Taichang had a cold back, and his clothes were soaked with sweat in an instant, even if they didn't do anything and were left out for a night, then their reputation would be lost, even if they arrived home safely, they were afraid that they would only hang themselves.

Zhou Baolu obviously found out that something was wrong at that moment, because she was close, she was afraid of being hijacked by them, so she made an excuse to send something and quickly pulled her back, but her mother didn't find out that there was a problem, how did Zhou Baolu find out?

The county lord of Taichang still palpitated, and he felt that there were traps everywhere around him, how could Zhou Baolu find out that their mother was wrong? Could it be that this is a bureau arranged by Zhou Baolu, deliberately saving himself in order to gain trust, favor and favor?

In this case, anyone is inevitably suspicious, and the county lord of Taichang is naturally no exception.

Zhou Baolu observed how powerful his words were, and when he saw that the county lord of Taichang was puzzled, he explained softly: "This person said a word when you came, and I invited you to get into the sedan chair just now, and his voice was a little different. ”

The county lord of Taichang was puzzled: "I didn't hear anything different. ”

Zhou Baolu smiled: "She deliberately imitated the voice of the previous mother, which is quite similar, but I have been most sensitive to the difference in sound since I was a child, and it is obvious that there is a difference." ”

However, she could see that the county lord of Taichang only barely believed it, not convinced.

Whatever, I didn't ask her for anything. Zhou Baolu just said: "This person is pretending to be the mother of Sister Taichang's family, and his intentions must be sinister, and Sister Taichang will have a good trial." ”

The county lord of Taichang said in surprise: "Since it has been confirmed that it is a different person, why is she pretending to be for Lu, where is Mother Xu now?" These are naturally necessary to be tried, but now she should be sent to the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion to be tried, right? How can it be my trial? ”

She called Zhou Baolu confused.

She groaned for a while, and then pulled the county lord of Taichang to walk further, and said softly: "Although this matter actually involves me, the origin may also be because I gave Sister Taichang a post, and this was originally out of the kindness of Her Royal Highness and the eldest princess, so I don't interfere in this matter and hand everyone over to Sister Taichang." It's just that I like my sister's character, so I take the liberty to persuade me that I must think twice about where my sister wants to send it for trial. ”

Zhou Baolu's words covered the fog, called the county lord of Taichang is simply confused, she is a very simple person, at home with the widowed mother and the same widowed grandmother, an uncle is also the father's half-mother brother, all the year round, the aunt is in charge of the house.

Because of my grandmother's noble character, there was really nothing to do at home, just so smoothly and steadily.

She doesn't have the quality to see a leopard at all, let alone a talent like Zhou Baolu, who will ring when she knocks on the top of her head and feet, and she is immediately dumbfounded.
