Chapter 123: Old Lady
"Uncle has a thousand hearts, and Governor Li won't really touch his cousin, presumably it's just asking about the case, and my cousin will return home one day." In the back garden, the maid Yuyan imitated the prince's emphasis and repeated the words, causing all the maids to laugh.
The old lady was lying on the rocking chair in the shade of the tree, nodded when she heard the words, and said, "The Wang family is shameless, and it is not interesting to come in a hurry." Where can such a misfortune occur when the money is out early? ”
"Isn't it! You don't know, old lady! At that time, Uncle Wang's face was ugly and tight, like a blue-faced ghost! It's really funny! Yu Yan hurriedly joked.
The old lady pursed her lips and smiled, closing her eyes. The Wang family, after enjoying the blessings of the past few years, I don't know how many catties and taels I have? Wang Guifei was gone in her early years, and the relationship between the prince and her uncle's family is a veil, and no one is good-looking, if they don't still care about their Wang family, how can they be allowed to this day?
At the moment, the prince's major affairs are the most important! You can endure everything on the side! As long as they ascend to the first position in the world in the future, what are these relatives who don't know each other?
The old lady only felt that her heart was surging, like a wild beast ready to move, and people were only in this life! If you don't be a master, you will be a prisoner, if you didn't climb up hard, where would you have such glory now? I'm afraid that she is still a palace maid in the Huanyi Bureau, and she will die in the palace but she will be alive.
She suddenly opened her eyes and said to the maid who was playing a fan behind her: "Yuqing, go and spread the wild goose to see me." ”
The maid Yuqing handed the fan to the others, hung her head and answered, and went.
It didn't take long. Li Hongyan trotted over, and when he entered the courtyard, he smiled and said, "Mother." Are you looking for me? ”
The old lady nodded, silent. The maids avoided each other, leaving only the mother and son of the Li family.
"I heard about the silver, have you done it for the prince?" The old lady said slowly.
Li Hongyan moved a footstool, sat in front of the rocking chair, fanned the old lady and said, "Mother, look at you, can't I settle this little thing?" ”
"It's not that I'm afraid you'll be uneven! It's just that the Wang family has been embarrassed in front of the prince after this battle, you have to slow down from the middle circle, don't make the relationship too stiff. ”
Li Hongyan heard this. was a little unhappy in his heart, because he was in front of his mother, he said unabashedly: "Mother, I don't understand, now why does our Li family have to avoid the edge of the Wang family?" What is the Wang family? Wang Guifei is also a person who has been dead for many years! And you are the one who brought up the prince with your own hands! In the prince's heart, you are his mother! If you want me to say, take the opportunity of the prince to annoy them, and completely kill the Wang family, as long as they fall. Hasn't our Li family become the largest family in Huaizhou? ”
The old lady frowned, and did not respond to her son's words, although what her son said referred to her heart, but there were some things that could only be thought in her heart. What you can't say with your mouth is that the more you are not proud of your achievements, the more humble you are. to live longer.
Hongyan, this kid is also over forty years old this year, but after all, he hasn't really experienced those open and secret battles in the palace. I don't understand the reasoning.
"Hongyan, what has that kid been doing lately?" She shifted gears. Suddenly asked about the side.
Li Hongyan was also stunned, he was still talking about the Wang family's silver, why did he suddenly ask about Xiaofeng?
He frowned and replied, "Mother, Xiaofeng is an unsuccessful person, you have nothing to remember what he does?" ”
The old lady's brows became deeper and deeper, she couldn't help but prop up her upper body, and scolded her son: "Haven't you only been rich for a few days, and you have learned what kind of concubines you are like those pompous people?" Our Li family is not from a generation of eunuchs! What do you do with these empty things? In my opinion, Xiao Feng is the most promising of your group of unsuccessful sons! You don't know how to cultivate a good life, but you're vain? ”
"Yes! Be! Mother's lesson. Li Hongyan had to bow his head and respond.
"Xiaofeng is the same age as the prince, and it is the time for young people to talk. I have time to let Xiaofeng go into the palace and walk around, he also served as the prince's accompaniment in his early years, if you hadn't spent him in the past few years and replaced him with filial piety, he would have become the prince's henchman. ”
Li Hongyan only lowered his head and said nothing, Li Xiaoli is his eldest son and his favorite son, who is steady and down-to-earth, honest and filial. is not like Li Xiaofeng who plays with flowers, and is a skin monkey when he pees. If he wasn't afraid that he would take the prince badly, how could he change Xiaofeng to go out? But filial piety is good, but there are not many words, a stuffy gourd, not the young prince is happy, it seems that the mother is worried, the Li family wants to hold on to the big tree of King Yu, and it is more from the beginning, the older generation of Runiang, like him is so old, one day the prince will go first, and the younger generation has to pick out a few people to get close to the prince.
"I'll go back and make arrangements, and let Xiaofeng go back to the palace to do things in a few days." He was busy comprehending.
The old lady furrowed her brows and lay back in the rocking chair.
As he was talking, he suddenly heard a creak at the courtyard door, and the maid Yuqing leaned in and replied, "Old lady, the prince has come to greet you." ”
Li Hongyan hurriedly moved a stool and sat on the side, and the old lady also opened her eyes with a smile.
Zhu Chenyun strode into the courtyard, and said to the old lady excitedly: "Jin Niang! I'm going to let the Wang family ...... today," halfway through his words, he saw Li Hongyan, and said, "Hongyan is also there?" That's what I said, you're a great idea! The Wang family came to visit today and took out the silver, guess how much he gave at once? ”
Li Hongyan hurriedly got up, pretending to be unaware and said, "Five thousand taels? Is he willing to pay 5,000 taels at a time? ”
"What five thousand taels?" Zhu Chen's eyebrows fluttered and said, "It's eight thousand taels!" I said, "How could he have no money?" This is not? When it was his turn to do things in his own house, he was willing to pay as much money as he could! ”
Li Hongyan hurriedly patted his thigh and said with a smile: "Hey! The Wang family's one who doesn't have long eyes! The whole is a candle embryo! ”
"Isn't it!?" Zhu Chenyun laughed when he heard this, and the anger he suppressed after being rejected by the Wang family was also vented with today's events.
The old lady coughed and said, "The prince has won the silver, and his heart is happy." It stands to reason that the old body should not talk too much. But the so-called everything can't be done, the prince has passed the difficulty today, but what about Ming'er? What about the aftermath? There are many places where silver can be used, and the Wang family still has the value of the Wang family. ”
Zhu Chenyun's laughter stopped dumbly, he thought about it, sat next to the old lady, and said with a smile: "I listen to Jin Niang!" Jin Niang can always take precautions for me, but I am too carried away. Ming'er, I will let my cousin go, and then go to see my uncle in person and comfort him. ”
The old lady smiled and clapped his hands and said, "This is what does big things!" The road ahead of you, Lord Wang, is still very long and difficult, and any forbearance and dormancy are necessary, but as long as one day...... All grievances and costs can be reversed. ”
"That's what Jin Niang said." Zhu Chenyun said with a smile, "Can you drink the rice wine I sent yesterday?" It is brewed by a newly opened winery in Huaizhou City, and I heard that it is an old shop that has been done in Beijing in the past, and the taste is all with Shangjing. You always say that you miss the food in Kyoto in the past few years, and you don't know if this wine is authentic? ”
"Authentic! Very authentic! The old lady's smiling eyes narrowed, "Lord Wang, your important affairs are important, you don't have to worry about these trivial things in your old body, people's energy is limited, don't be busy yourself." ”
"Jin Niang's affairs are big deals!" Zhu Chenyun said, "If it weren't for you, how could I be where I am today?" My mother died early, in my eyes, you are my mother, and now I can only do my filial piety in front of you. ”
The old lady laughed more and more: "The old body can't afford to be the prince's mother!" The old body has today's blessings, and it is already a virtue accumulation in the previous life! Lord Wang, our Li family has your grace to have today's luck, if it is said that our Li family is grateful for your goodness. The old man dares to say something here, the heirs of the Li family have been your servants for generations, and they will not hesitate to go to the soup and fight the fire. My little grandson Xiaofeng was stubborn in his early years, and he went back to raise him for a while, but all the bad problems have been changed, if the prince doesn't dislike it, let him come into the house to serve you? ”
"Hyo-feng?" When Zhu Chenyun heard this, he suddenly remembered a handsome and free face, "Naturally, it's good!" I still remember the year when Xiaofeng left, I hugged him and cried, refusing to let him go home, if it wasn't for his mother being gone, he would have been following me all the time. ”
"Now that Xiaofeng is sensible, we can rest assured that he will serve you." The old lady said, "The prince still remembers him, it's really his creation, I'll let him in when I catch up with Ming'er." ”
"Xiaofeng is also seventeen, right? I remember he was the same year as me! Zhu Chenyun remembered the past hair small, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, "I still remember that he took me to steal the chicken in the kitchen and roasted it in the backyard to eat, but his hair was burned, and he had to remove his bald head, shiny and shiny!" But I laughed at me for half a year! ”
Li Hongyan hurriedly wiped his sweat and said, "Yes! Oh, yes! Xiao Feng is young and ignorant, monkey-like, lawless! In the past few years, I have been disciplined at home, and I am much more stable. ”
Zhu Chenyun didn't care if he was stable or not, in his opinion, it was still interesting to Xiaofeng in the past. The people in the palace are like marionettes, they are respectful and hypocritical in front of him, and he has not had a friend who can speak to his heart for a long time.
At this moment, he is brewing a big event, if it is done, it will be the most important turning point in the course of life, it is the time when he is depressed, and the past hair can enter the house, naturally it is no better.
"Don't rush Ming'er, let him come tonight! I had a drink with him and talked at night, which can be regarded as catching up with the old days! He said excitedly.
The old lady glanced at Li Hongyan, and Li Hongyan hurriedly smiled: "Obey!" I'll go back and get that monkey to see the king!" ”
Everyone laughed. (To be continued......)
