Chapter 494: Intent
Du Hengshuang's post was sent to Yin's house, and Yin Guier was very puzzled. She stared at the lightly fragrant and leisurely light purple flower note, as well as the small "Du" character on it, and thought about it all night, but after the last time, she was still moved by the sentence on the flower note, "The good wind borrows strength, and the green clouds are waiting".
She wants to get ahead very much, and this time Her Majesty chose a concubine, not only the Yin family had high hopes, but even Yin Gui'er was also thinking about it and wanted to give it a go.
The person who sent the post told her that Mrs. Zhu Guohou was invited. Although she didn't know Mrs. Zhu Guohou, she knew that the person of Zhu Guohou should not be such a blatant liar. - Besides, the address of the Du family's mansion will not be wrong.
The next morning, Yin Gui'er finished breakfast, put on the curtain and took her adoptive mother, took an ox cart, and came to the door of the Du family's mansion.
Du Hengshuang had been waiting there for a long time.
Hearing that Yin Gui'er was coming, Du Hengshuang smiled slightly and ordered, "Please invite Little Lady Yin in." β
The Du family's mansion is not as magnificent as the Marquis of Zhuguo's mansion, but for Yin Gui'er, it is already dizzying.
When she came to the upper room in the inner courtyard, Yin Gui'er crossed the threshold, raised her eyes and saw the beautiful lady sitting on the top, and turned her head slightly. For the first time, she understood what it meant to be glamorous.
"Little lady Yin, please take a seat." Du Hengshuang waved his hand and pointed to the position closest to him.
Yin Gui'er took a deep breath, bent over and said, "I have long heard that Mrs. Zhu Guohou is beautiful, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation." Gui'er has always been conceited, and now that she sees her wife, she has to bow down. - There is such a stunning lady as this. Gui'er should go home and live a down-to-earth life. β
Seeing Du Hengshuang's side, Yin Guier was a little disheartened, thinking that Mrs. Zhu Guohou was so beautiful, and there were many stunning beauties raised in the boudoir among those wealthy nobles. His family is just a small official, and he is already a big step behind others in his family background, and even his appearance, which has always been very confident, now seems to be not necessarily comparable to those high-ranking nobles, and his competitive spirit has faded for a while.
Du Hengshuang got up with a smile, took her hand and sat down, and said with a smile: "Little lady Yin is too modest." As the saying goes, every flower has its own eyes. People who like you. Naturally, when you are a fairy beauty. I don't like it, even if the real immortal descends to earth, he doesn't bother to look at you. Since you want to enter the palace, you have to plan carefully, how to not open the election yet. Just say these frustrating words? β
Yin Gui'er said embarrassedly: "Gui'er came from a humble background. I haven't seen the world either. Today, I saw such a stunning lady as such. For a while, I thought that there were many ladies in the boudoir who were so beautiful that I couldn't compare to them? β
"You can rest assured. I've seen all the nobles in Chang'an City this time, to tell you the truth. There are indeed two women who are comparable to Yin Xiaoniang. β
Yin Gui'er's heart sank, and her head hung lower.
"However, I dare say that there is no one who will fall into the eyes of His Majesty like you." Du Hengshuang waited for a while before smiling.
Yin Gui'er raised her head suddenly, with surprise in her eyes, looked at Du Hengshuang, and blurted out: "Mrs. Zhuguohou, aren't you comforting me?" β
"Of course not." Du Hengshuang smiled, and said, "Do you think I'm so free that I specially invite you to come to the door to tease you?" β
This is also Yin Gui'er's doubt. She didn't know why Du Hengshuang offered to help her. Her family background is too far from Du Hengshuang. Besides, Du Hengshuang's husband, the Marquis of Junzhu, is now even more prestigious, and he has newly sealed the history of Jingzhou Thorn, Du Hengshuang doesn't have to do anything in her life, she just lies at home and gives birth, she is the housewife of the top wealthy family in Daqi. ββWith the position of Thorn History, the Xiao family can be regarded as squeezing into the ranks of the top giants in Daqi.
"What do you mean by daring to ask Madame? With your family background and status, Gui'er really can't figure out why you did this......" Yin Gui'er looked at Du Hengshuang inquiringly.
Du Hengshuang smiled, asked his subordinates to serve tea to Yin Gui'er, and then waved his hand to let the people who were waiting go down, and then said in a low voice: "Since I offered to help you, I naturally have something to ask for." β
Yin Gui'er breathed a sigh of relief.
There is no love for no reason in this world, there is no hate for no reason, and of course there is no good for no reason.
Du Hengshuang said that she had something to ask for, and Yin Guier really let down her guard.
If Du Hengshuang was kind enough to help her, Yin Gui'er would definitely be even more unable to sleep. - Even if she accepts the kindness, she will be restless. Because those who keep saying that they "want nothing" actually want more.
Yin Gui'er became lively, took a sip of tea, and praised: "The tea here is mellow and fragrant, and the entrance is delicious, which is really rare. β
This central hall is tall and magnificent, with the door facing south, and the early spring sunlight shines in through the door, dispelling the little chill that remains on the hall.
The two women in the hall sat there quietly, like a picture of a quiet lady, so beautiful that it seemed to be painted.
Du Hengshuang gathered the small sable shawl on his body, coughed lightly, and said: "This matter, it's a long story, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read. You only see that our Hou Mansion has a good moon, but the hard work behind it is no different from other people's homes. β
Yin Gui'er put down the teacup and looked at Du Hengshuang intently.
Du Hengshuang said with a smile: "Don't tell lies in front of real people. I want to help you because I don't like someone in the palace. - If you can enter the palace, you will definitely be able to share her favor. If you can get your wish, my troubles can be solved, which is really a good thing to kill two birds with one stone. Yin Xiaoniang ......"
"Madame, call me Gui'er." Yin Gui'er said briskly, "I understand." Madame has a request, and I have a wish. If I can get my wish, Madame will naturally be able to seek kindness. β
Du Hengshuang nodded lightly, "I don't ask for much." I think you want to enter the palace, but also to get the favor of His Majesty. If you want to be favored, you naturally have to distinguish people's favors, so carefully speaking, our goal is the same. I didn't ask you to do anything that had nothing to do with you. If you think about it, this deal is not worth it. β
Yin Gui'er understood what Du Hengshuang meant as soon as she heard it. Besides, she is a native of Chang'an, and because she wants to enter the palace, she also inquired very clearly about the high gate of the Chang'an City family and the secrets of the palace.
She knew that now His Majesty's favorite concubine was Mu Guifei. And this Mu Guifei was born in the Muhou Mansion with the surname of Zhao Mu. Yin Gui'er wants to enter the palace and be favored, that is, she wants to share the favor of Mu Guifei, and naturally she will have an antagonistic relationship with Mu Guifei.
That's it, the most famous person in this Mu Hou family is not this Mu Guifei, but her sister-in-law, Mu Yelai, who is famous in Chang'an City.
Thinking of Mu Yelai, I also knew why this Marquis of Zhuguo asked her to help her enter the palace and compete for favor with Concubine Mu.
Because almost everyone in Chang'an City now knows the Dao, Xiao Shi, the Marquis of Zhuguo, and Mu Yelai are fighting hotly, and even the Marquis of Zhuguo went on an expedition four months ago. It was also Mu Ye who came and went to the Ten Mile Pavilion to see him off. This Lady of the Marquis of Zhu didn't even see a shadow.
Yin Gui'er felt for a moment that she understood what Du Hengshuang meant.
Mu Ye looked at it and looked like he had already had a head and tail with the Marquis of Zhuguo.
Now Du Hengshuang can't do it if he doesn't make a move. What she has to consider is not the question of whether Mu Yelai can enter the door, but the question of what identity Mu Yelai will enter the door.
If Mu Yelai can only be a concubine. Du Hengshuang will not be like this.
The question is that Mu Yelai may not necessarily satisfy this identity as a concubine. Because of Mu Yelai's background. and her sister is the identity of His Majesty's favorite concubine. Later, it was possible for them to persuade His Majesty to marry and have a concubine.
Only by merging the heirs, the children born by Mu Yelai in the future can inherit Xiao Shiji's position as the inspector of Jingzhou Thorn History. Otherwise, Du Hengshuang already has two sons-in-law. No matter how many children Mu Yelai gives birth to in the future, he will not be able to inherit this position. What's more, Du Hengshuang's eldest son has been crowned the son of the world by His Majesty.
Therefore, for the Muhou family, if they are determined to win the position of Jingzhou Assassin History, they will definitely do something to let His Majesty give marriage......
Although this Mrs. Zhuguo Marquis is the first to enter the door, she is like a mother, and it seems that she can't resist it.
Thinking of this, Yin Guier felt that she completely understood Du Hengshuang's intentions, and her intentions coincided with herself, and her psychological burden was a little less.
"We are in a cooperative relationship, you don't have to worry." Du Hengshuang said with a smile. It is convenient to talk to smart people, she can see that she doesn't need to explain more, Yin Guier has already thought about the cause and effect of this matter "clearly".
Du Hengshuang smiled slightly. The world will think that she helped Yin Gui'er enter the palace in order to compete with Mu Yelai for favor in front of Xiao Shiji......
Ahh
wants her Du Hengshuang to compete for favor, and it will be useless in the next life!
"Madame, rest assured. I also sympathize with Madame's situation. I remember that when my wife married the Marquis of Zhuguo, the Marquis of Zhuguo was just a small official of King Yijun, and now he is a feudal official who guards one side. Yin Gui'er stood up and saluted Du Hengshuang, "The grace of dripping water should be repaid with a spring." As long as Mrs. can help me enter the palace, Gui'er can swear that she will repay Mrs. for the rest of her life. If there is a broken promise, there will be no bones! β
Yin Gui'er made such a heavy oath, Du Hengshuang was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly got up to help her up, and said: "I just said, we are in a cooperative relationship, each takes what he needs, don't feel that you owe me." The more she said this, the more embarrassed Yin Gui'er became, and the more grateful she was to her.
Du Hengshuang took her to the inner room to talk, and gave her a box of exquisite jewelry, a box of high-quality clothes, and two grandmothers who were familiar with court etiquette, and followed her back to Yin's house.
These things, even if the entire Yin family are sold, they can't make it up.
Yin Gui'er became more and more grateful, and went with a thousand thanks.
After Yin Gui'er left, Du Xiancheng came out of the compartment next to him, looked at Yin Gui'er's distant back, touched his beard, and muttered: "This woman looks very smart and can carry it clearly." Saying that, he glanced at Du Hengshuang, "When you are as old as her, you are not as well-behaved as her." β
Du Hengshuang said angrily: "When I was as old as her, my father didn't see me, how do you know that I ......" Before he finished speaking, he knew that he had lost his words.
Du Hengshuang looked at Du Xiancheng's faded face, leaned over very anxiously, shook Du Xiancheng's arm gently, and said, "Dad......"
Du Xiancheng smiled and patted Du Hengshuang's hand, "It's okay, it's okay." You're telling the truth. I regret it too. However, after speaking, he didn't mention this matter again, but just said to Du Hengshuang: "Mu Hou's eldest son, there will be more fire." He has been bold in the past few days, and he has been hiding in Muhou Mansion and not coming out. - Hmph, he thought he was hiding in Muhou Mansion, so I had nothing to do with him? β
Du Hengshuang was very worried, "If he just doesn't come out, can we still rush to Muhou Mansion to find him out?" - Isn't that revealing? β
Du Xiancheng smiled hesitantly, and said mysteriously: "Do you want to follow your father to see the excitement?" β
Du Hengshuang nodded hurriedly, "I want it." β
The father and daughter walked out of the gate of the Du Mansion one after the other.
Du Hengshuang came out of the front door and went to the Haixi Mansion in the car of the Marquis of Zhuguo's Mansion.
Du Xiancheng disguised himself from the back door, pretended to be a coachman, and came to the back door of the Haixi Palace.
Du Hengshuang came to the Haixi Palace, changed his dress in his sister Du Hengxue's room, and put on the curtain before coming out of the back door and getting into the car that Du Xiancheng was driving.
Du Xiancheng had a hairy beard, and tied a headscarf that the old peasants often tied, covering most of his face, and no one could recognize him.
The father and daughter drove the car and came to a place not far from Muhou's Mansion.
As soon as I got there, I found a circle of people in front of the door of Muhou Mansion, pointing there, as if something had happened.
Du Hengshuang lifted the corner of the car curtain and saw a delicate little woman kneeling at the door of Muhou Mansion, holding a child in her arms, and kept saying that she wanted to see the eldest son of Muhou Mansion.
