Chapter 13: Nian Qing

Feng Luan didn't know what to do, Xiao Duo still felt sorry for himself for a while in his heart,—— if he knew it, he would definitely not be happy, and he would only get goosebumps immediately. At this moment, she was holding a light yellow osmanthus wine, drinking it slowly, listening to Baozhu's tone of regret, and talking about the "good story" of Xiao Zhan asking to marry the Qin family's daughter.

"Miss Qin Ba is really blessed." In the end, she said with envy.

Feng Luan smiled slightly when he heard this.

Xiao Zhan is really a smart person, and he will draw inferences from one case and make the marriage beautiful, so that he not only pleases the people of the Qin family, but also earns face for the Empress Dowager Qin and Concubine Qin De, which naturally adds points for himself.

Thinking about it, Miss Qin Ba's heart was also pounding.

In fact, Xiao Zhan is not bad, good-looking, radiant, and not gentle, but not the kind of temperament that does not enter oil and salt, and his age is comparable to himself. If he is not a prince and does not participate in the succession, it is actually a good choice to marry him.

Unfortunately, there are no assumptions in this world.

Feng Luan looked up at the blue sky outside the window, a white cloud, which was gently sent away by the wind, and soon disappeared. It's like her mood at the moment, the regret ......, but it's just a moment.

Xiao Zhan finally married the daughter of the Qin family, he has his days to live, his road to go, and he has nothing to do with himself.

Baozhu was in a trance and asked, "Miss, do you want to have ham dumplings?" ”

Feng Luan looked up at her and said with a smile: "What's wrong with you?" I've never eaten salty rice dumplings. Looking at the disappointment in the pretty girl's eyes, "I didn't become a princess, what are you disappointed about?" You just want to be the princess's dowry girl? Look at your little bit of talent! ”

Baozhu suddenly blushed and waved his hand again and again, "Miss, don't make fun of me." ”

Feng Luan put down the jade glass cup, "The zongzi is not easy to digest, I won't eat it, take out the rice and share it for everyone." He sneered in his heart, hoping that she would not make any more mistakes in this life, otherwise, he would not have any mercy.

But that's not the point of my own concern.

What I care about is the future fate of the entire Feng family.

After General Fan's fall from his horse, the Fan family's step-heir, and the matter of becoming a princess, step by step, the eldest uncle should begin to believe in himself. At the moment, Xiliang is still just a small turmoil, but it won't be long before the big war will start, can the eldest uncle persuade Prince Ying before this? If he insists on going on the expedition, will he repeat the tragedy of "treason and collaboration with the enemy" in his previous life? Then it implicated Prince Xiang, the eldest princess of Liyi, and then ......, it was the Feng family of Fengguo Mansion.

Time is running out, and the eldest uncle has to make a decision quickly.

Feng Luan has the heart to talk to his uncle, but the second room has not been peaceful recently, and he doesn't talk about the mystery of his life experience, just for Zhenniang's marriage, the atmosphere is tense. At the moment, Zhenniang's matter is more anxious, thinking of this, he called Baozhu in again and asked, "Have there been any movements between Aunt Gong and Zhenniang recently?" ”

Baozhu came in briskly and shook his head, "If there is any movement, I will definitely tell Miss as soon as possible." ”

Feng Luan frowned, "Be careful." ”

It seems that there is nothing new for the time being.

So is Aunt Gong and Zhenniang stopped? Or has the situation changed on the Mu family's side, and the eldest aunt doesn't plan to get married? Otherwise, it was Aunt Gong and Zhenniang who impressed their grandmother, maybe they were secretly thinking about it.

Anyway, Zhen Niang has no grievances with herself in her past and present lives, and I still hope that she will marry well.

*******

The days passed silently and in a flash.

In the back courtyard of Qingxue Hall, Aunt Gong was asking, "Mrs. Tai answered the idea for you?" ”

"Yes, grandmother answered." Zhen Niang thought of this, and her face showed a look of relief, "Just say let me keep quiet, lest it be like the Feng family is demolishing the stage with the Mu family, and after the family affairs are found, the two families will be decided, and the eldest aunt will be angry, and it can't be done." ”

"Amitabha." Aunt Gong shook her face to the sky, recited the Buddha, and choked up: "It's a shame that Mrs. Tai has mercy on your granddaughter, and is willing to make decisions for you, and it is not in vain that I have kowtowed for several days in the past." As long as your family affairs are booked, go to the temple to make a vow, and set up a safe and immortal tablet for Mrs. Tai, and the sesame oil will continue every day. ”

Zhenniang smiled slightly, "That's as it should be." ”

Aunt Gong said again: "Actually, I was in a hurry a few days ago, and I thought about letting you marry back to the Gong family if it really didn't work." She added, "It's not Mrs. Tai's maiden family, it's your uncle's family." ”

Zhen Niang looked hesitant, "My uncle's family is not famous, and my cousin is even more mediocre in learning, but he is just a talent, and he doesn't even have a fame." It's not that I dislike him, our family is a princess after all, but I'm afraid that my family won't agree to my low marriage. ”

"Didn't I have to do it?" Aunt Gong sighed, "Although your cousin is a little mediocre, but your uncle owes me a favor, and he is a blood relative to you, so if he marries, at least he won't suffer." "Thinking of back then, in order to exchange some silver for my brother's study, I bought myself as a concubine, and I couldn't help but feel sad and bitter.

It's nothing to endure hardships by yourself, but a poor pair of children are left behind.

"Forget it." Aunt Gong was happy again, "Don't talk about those who are depressed." She smiled, "Mrs. Tai has been a duchess of the country anyway, and the people she knows are all wealthy families, and no matter how poor they are, they are also eunuchs, as long as you pick a clean and reliable net worth, and marry you smoothly, I will rest assured." ”

"Auntie, don't worry." Feng Zhenniang persuaded: "We were in a hurry a few days ago, and then I thought that I was going to marry me off, and there was a second sister in front of me, so I had to wait for her to make a family appointment before it would be my turn." Therefore, even if the Mu family is interesting, there is no hurry, we still have time to pick it slowly. ”

Aunt Gong was overjoyed when she heard this, "Yes, yes, let your grandmother pick carefully." ”

The mother and daughter discussed it for several days, but because Feng Shijie was young and a brother, they never asked him to come in and mingle. He didn't know that Lu Dao's biological mother and sister had already planned it, but he couldn't help but feel anxious when he looked at their nervous faces.

He hesitated for a few days, but after the last moment, he gritted his teeth and ran to his father-

This is a big basket!

The second master, Feng Ze, has always been in poor health, Zhen Niang's matter, the family has hidden it from all over the family, and Mrs. Tai has strictly ordered him not to talk nonsense, so he has been kept in the dark. Now that he was told by his son, he realized that there was something wrong with Lu Dao. Especially when I heard that my wife didn't care, let her concubine marry and go to the Mu family to fill the house, and raise children, I couldn't help but be so angry that my heart was surging, "Come on, go and ask the second lady to come and talk!"

The girl who was named secretly screamed bitterly and went quickly.

It took a long time for Zhen to come over slowly.

"What day is it?" Across a curtain of crystal beads, before she arrived, her voice arrived first, like a murmuring spring in the forest, but her words were very mean, "The sun came out of the west, right?" Otherwise, how could the lord think of me as a person? ”

Feng Ze's face sank, and he scolded the girls in the house, "Go down!" ”

"Why is the master angry? That's not good. Zhen's posture was like a willow, and he walked in with a beautiful light.

She was born beautiful and difficult to give up, and her aura was natural, she only swept her moth eyebrows, and her face was lightly smeared with a layer of rouge, which was already an amazing beauty. Like the most beautiful peony in the garden, the flower king is full of beautiful shadows and bright lights, even if the flowers are in full bloom, they cannot hide her brilliant light.

Step by step, Yingying walked in, ringing and dingling.

Feng Ze couldn't help but be stunned.

The slender and stretched distant mountain eyebrows, the eyebrows are slightly upturned, "ask the husband in a low voice, the depth of the thrush is not in time", all kinds of memories of the past continue to rise, and my heart can't help but hurt.

Because of the choking in his throat, the words of indignation became weak, "Why don't you care about Zhenniang's marriage?" ”

Zhen first chose a place to sit down, facing the light, which made her look like a bright and beautiful spring light. Unhurriedly dusted off his skirt, thinking that there was no flaw, and then asked leisurely, "What happened to Zhenniang's marriage?" Marrying into the Mu family, not marrying into the wolf's den fire pit, mother-in-law is still his own aunt, isn't it? ”

Feng Ze didn't want to quarrel at the beginning, so he endured it, "Mu Laosan already has a son. ”

"How?" Zhen chuckled, "Didn't Aunt Gong also raise a brother?" Did I give birth to it? ”

Feng Ze argued: "How can it be the same?!" Shijie is a concubine, and Mu Laosan's son is a concubine. ”

"Why is it different?" Zhen's slow-mindedness, "What kind of heirs, concubines, won't all the family property be the same in the future?" It's just that the elder has a few more sacrificial fields. She smiled, "I think the master is distressed about this, it doesn't matter, in the future, when the old man is divided into three families, I will give the eldest son more share, and I will make up for the son of Zhenniang." ”

Feng Ze said angrily: "It's not appropriate to let Zhenniang go to fill the house for others." ”

Zhen smiled lightly, "Her biological mother is just an aunt, not even filling the house." ”

"You!" Feng Ze was so angry that his hands and feet trembled, and he reprimanded: "Don't mess around!" ”

Zhen asked rhetorically, "Did I say it wrong?" It happened that Aunt Gong heard that her son was in trouble, so she hurried over, so she pointed at her and asked, "Tell me, aren't you an aunt?" Is it still the wife of the main house? ”

Aunt Gong just listened to half of it, and heard the old man reprimand Mrs. "Don't mess around", and she knew that she was arguing. But I can't help but come in and persuade him, otherwise it will be noisy, how can I clean it up later? Mrs. will hate herself, and Mrs. Tai will also complain that she has added anger to the lord and started a fire, wouldn't it ruin Zhenniang's family affairs?

At this moment, seeing that the lady had a spring power on her face, there was a slight anger between her eyebrows, and after listening to her question, she immediately knelt down, "The slave and maid don't dare, the slave and maid are just serving the master." ”

"Did you hear that?" Zhen looked at her husband defiantly and hooked the corners of her mouth, "It can be seen that Aunt Gong is an understanding person." ”

Feng Ze was angry, angry, and stunned by his wife. Holding on to the chair, he calmed down and said, "Don't talk about anything else, just say Zhenniang, I don't think this family matter is appropriate, you quickly pushed it." ”

"So who is the right person to marry? Emperor Lao Tzu? Zhen sneered coldly: "It's just a girl raised by a little woman, a half-slave and half-master, and she really thinks she is a daughter." The minister's mansion has to pick and choose, and if he doesn't look at it, he won't be afraid of the wind and flashing his teeth when he says ...... to go. ”

Her willow eyebrows were upside down, and the slender jade pointed at Aunt Gong, and said, "And you!" I ignore it on weekdays, and if you don't come to Qingxuetang, you think you're the wife of the main house? You dare to instigate the old man to quarrel with me, do you want to anger me so that I can be corrected? ”

crackling, a large number of hats smashed down on Aunt Gong.

Aunt Gong was ashamed and ashamed, and her face turned pale with fright by the housemother, and she hurriedly argued: "Madam, I didn't ......" wanted to say that it was her son's reckless fault, but after thinking about it, it was better to admit it herself, so she lowered her head and didn't dare to say more.

"Humph!" Zhen glanced at her, and then looked at her husband, "Believe it or not, I let out the wind of 'spoiling concubines and destroying wives', and Zhenniang didn't even have a chance to fill the house!" ”

Aunt Gong's face suddenly turned white into a piece of paper.

Feng Ze was furious, "You dare?!" ”

"I don't dare?" Zhen's original anger of three points suddenly turned into seven points, she smiled, "Then you just have to wait and see if I dare or not." ”

Feng Ze was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Aunt Gong suddenly panicked.

If there is really a rumor of "spoiling the concubine and killing the wife", others will think that Zhenniang has no rules and don't say it, and then think that Zhenniang is a concubine who offends her mother-in-law, how can anyone dare to marry? ! If you can't get married, you can ruin your daughter's life.

Don't look at the master, but in the past ten years of getting along, I know that the master can't hold his wife at all, and if he continues to quarrel, only he and his children will suffer. So he hurriedly crawled over on his knees, and cried, "Madame, Madam, you have a large number of them. Kowtow again and again, "Today's things are all wrong, it's all my fault, let Mrs. deal with it, just don't affect the third lady......"

"Stay away from me." Zhen looked disgusted, looking at her as if she was looking at a bedbug, "Make something!" It's just that I spent a few taels of silver to buy gadgets for the pleasure of my lord, and they are still rampant! She sneered, "It made me angry, called people Yazi, sold you, and just bought two catties of melon seeds for the girls to eat." ”

"Plop!" With a bang, Aunt Gong fell back.

The girl outside listened to the movement, looked over, and saw an aunt inside, Mrs. and the lord were like fighting cocks, where did they dare to ask more? hurriedly and quietly carried someone out of the house.

"You, you......" Feng Ze kept coughing, choking and blushing, "Ahem......"

Zhen's elegant voice, "Master, take it easy, if it comes out that you are angry with your aunt, it won't sound good." ”

Feng Ze was even more angry, his face was red and purple, his hands trembled, and he pointed at his wife, who was as delicate and prickly as a rose, "You are really ......" coughed violently for a while, coughing so much that tears came out, and then remembered that she used to serve tea and pour water by the bedside, and there were also gentle and considerate times? It's not what it looks like now.

He felt extremely uncomfortable, and his anger suddenly turned into sadness, and he choked up: "Nian Qing......, do you want to hate me for the rest of your life?" Do you have to hate me for the rest of your life before you are willing? ”

Zhen's expression froze.

How long has it been ...... not to hear my husband call her by her name? But she quickly recovered.

In the next moment, he said: "That's right, I hate you for the rest of my life." ”

"...... for a lifetime" Feng Ze chewed on his wife's words in his heart, hating people and hating for a lifetime, it would take a lot of strength, he suddenly felt sad and happy, "You know the truth, I have never had anyone else in my heart." ”

"Really?" Zhen sneered softly, "So Aunt Gong's children jumped out of the stones?" ”

"They, aren't they......" Feng Ze's face softened a little, and turned red again, "I ......, I, I have to leave a back for the second room." ”

"Huh." Zhen laughed with tears in his eyes, "That's really hard work." ”

Feng Ze looked at her, only to see her face slightly sideways, the golden sunlight, outlining a beautiful side face arc, like a holy jade girl with sadness. There are a thousand words to say in my heart, but I don't know where to start. Besides, this is not the time to catch up, and the marriage of the concubine must be settled first.

So he softened his tone and sighed: "Zhenniang's marriage is related to her whole life, why should you be difficult for her?" ”

"Why am I embarrassed for her? I didn't ask her to marry, it was your sister who mentioned it. Zhen turned her back and forced back her tears, she turned her head and looked at her husband with a sarcastic expression, "Besides, the third child of the Mu family is from the Liguo Mansion, and he is not lame or blind, why is he not worthy of her?" Could it be that she can't make gold crystals?! ”

Feng Ze frowned and said, "Can't you push away this family business for Zhen Niang?" She's your daughter too. ”

Zhen smiled "fluttering", "The master has been staying with Aunt Gong for a long time, and he speaks in a tone. Word by word, he said loudly: "You remember!" Zhenniang was not born by me, not raised by me, and has nothing to do with me. ”

Feng Ze clenched his fists and endured his anger, and was patient, "She was raised by her aunt, yes." "Careful persuasion, "But a person's background is not a ...... that he can choose"

"That's a good thing to say!" Before the words fell, Zhen had already stood up suddenly, walked up to her husband, her beautiful phoenix eyes flashed, and asked, "What about me?" Why don't you say that you don't choose your origin? What about Luan? Why don't you say she can't choose? You keep saying 'Zhen Niang, Zhen Niang', have you ever thought about me, thought about Ah Luan?! ”

Feng Ze hurriedly distinguished, "Ah Luan is different, she has a good identity, and she will naturally have good relatives in the future." ”

"Good family?" Zhen rolled down tears, and the beauty was like a pear blossom with rain, "But you said it yourself back then, I am a sinister species, and Aluan is a small evil seed!" Can a bad seed marry a good relative? Gritting her teeth, she looked at her husband angrily, pointed to his face and asked, "Evil seed, evil seed, ...... evil seed, isn't it your sin?" Not your species?! ”

"I'm ......" Feng Ze's face was as pale as paper, and his breathing was short, and it took a while for the violent coughing to stop, "I'm sorry, Nian Qing......, it was my ...... and my fault back then." ”

Zhen burst into tears and sneered: "Don't you dislike me? So I fulfilled you, found you a good aunt with an innocent net worth, and gave birth to two good seeds, what are you not satisfied with? Her tears were full of hatred, "I just ask you to let me and Ah Luan go, and let us live a quiet life." ”

She turned, turned her head and was about to leave.

"Nianqing." Feng Ze struggled and grabbed her wrist, trying to hold her, "...... Don't go. As a result, Zhen was unprepared and fell into her husband's arms, and the atmosphere suddenly became embarrassing and ambiguous.

"Let go of me!" Her voice was high-pitched.

"Nianqing......" Feng Ze murmured softly, but his hand hugged his wife tightly and did not let go, the familiar breath and the soft temperature in his arms made him extremely nostalgic, "Don't go." ”

"Smack!" Zhen raised his hand and slapped her husband in the face.

She struggled out of her husband's arms and spat hard, "You make me disgusting!" If something goes wrong, it will only be pushed on the weak female stream, dare not do it, you are not a man at all! She dusted off her shirt in disgust, "Don't touch me with your dirty hands!" Work hard for the incense in the second room, go with your Aunt Gong, and give birth to a few more good seeds. ”

Feng Ze was stunned.

Zhen took a sip of the loose cloud sideburns, straightened the golden hairpin, walked to the door proudly, let Mama Zhen wash her face with water, paused for a while, and then walked out of the door with a plain face.

And inside the house, Feng Ze seemed to have been drained of his soul and collapsed.

******

When Zhen returned to Haitang Chunwu, Feng Luan got the news that her mother and father had a big quarrel just now,—— fainted Aunt Gong, and her father was angry, and her mother closed the door when she returned to the house.

I had the heart to persuade him, and after thinking about it, I still waited for my mother to dissipate my anger before going over.

After a while, Mrs. Feng hurriedly went to Qingxue Hall, crying with a voice and flesh, "I only have this drop of your blood and bones for half my life, and I am angry with you, which one do I want to rely on in the future?" My son......"

This sounds inappropriate, and Changfang Zhidao will definitely complain.

Aunt Gong hurriedly instructed the girl to guard the door, and it was strictly forbidden for words from inside to spread out.

She had just fainted, not really frightened by her mother. But there is no way to continue the conversation, for fear that the housewife will be annoyed and really say cruel things about betraying herself, so she has to plant it again. At this time, the second old man was so angry that his health was not good, and Mrs. Feng also rushed over, where did she dare to pretend to be sick? It has long been "woken up".

Mrs. Feng cried for a while, wiped her tears and asked, "Why did the Zhen family come over to make noise?" ”

Aunt Gong lowered her head and didn't dare to answer.

Feng Ze lay on the bed with a pale face, not wanting to cause any more trouble, so he said, "I was wandering in the garden before. He coughed and lied on the other hand, covering up for his son: "I heard the two little girls talking about it, saying that the family wanted to marry Zhenniang to the Mu family, I felt that it was inappropriate, so I asked the Zhen family to come over and say a few words." ”

"Bastard! Bastard! Mrs. Feng became angry, pointed at her subordinates and scolded: "Didn't you say that you are not allowed to let the master know these bad things, right?" You are all deaf. "Immediately ordered to find out the little girl who was chewing the root of her tongue, and quickly dragged it out and sold it.

Where can I find it? The subordinates of Qingxue Hall all knew what was going on, but they didn't dare to say more, so they pretended to go out to check and inquire.

Mrs. Feng looked at her son again, and couldn't help but feel sad again, "I have lived for so many years, and I have never seen a daughter-in-law who is specifically angry with her husband, and now that you are sick, she doesn't say that she rushed over to ......serve" and cried, "Oh my God, where is this daughter-in-law to marry?" It was the ancestor who married! ”

Aunt Gong was suspicious.

Zhen's maiden family is not a wealthy family, there is no title in the family, and his father's official position is not obvious and he has left early, leaving only an elder brother who works as a waiter in the Hanlin Academy. Speaking of which, originally she was considered a high climb when she married into the Fengguo Mansion, and she had no heirs, so she should be even more weak-hearted.

Why are you still so arrogant? Even my mother-in-law and husband can't help it-

There's definitely something strange here.

Aunt Gong understood this truth, but she didn't dare to say more.

What kind of background should be the person who can make the Feng family of Fengguo Mansion jealous? Otherwise, it is the mother-in-law and her husband who have some tricks, and they are pinched in Zhen's hands, and it is an unsightly filth thing to think about.

Either way, I still don't know how to do it.

As an aunt, what kind of thing can be considered on the table?

Aunt Gong remembered the words that the housemother said before, "It's just that I spent a few taels of silver to buy gadgets for the master's fun", and "I sold you, just to buy two catties of melon seeds for the girls to eat." I couldn't help but feel sad, and I was extremely worried about my situation.

I used to think that the housewife never rubbed herself, the old man was considerate, had a pair of obedient children, and lived a good life.

Now it seems that all this has no foundation, and the wind blows and falls.

Son Shijie said, after all, it is a gentleman, and in the future, he will marry his daughter-in-law and pay for the wedding banquet. Daughter Zhenniang is different, whether she is good in the second half of her life depends on whether she marries well or not.

So at the moment, she has to be even more cautious, and she can't let Mrs. Tai know the truth about today's matter, otherwise, she feels sorry for the old man who has been wronged, and she can't help the Zhen family, so why don't you send all her anger to herself? and then anger Zhenniang, that can't cry back.

Aunt Gong kept thinking about it, thinking about the arrangement.

Mrs. Feng cried for a while, and when she saw that her son was fine, she slowly stopped crying.

The second old man Feng Ze kept drinking tea because his mother came over, suppressed his cough, and made a relaxed appearance, and the atmosphere in the room gradually improved, and the girls breathed a sigh of relief.

There was a small clattering sound outside.

Mrs. Feng said angrily, "Who's outside?" What the hell are you doing?! ”

A girl hurriedly replied: "It's okay, it's okay." Probably afraid of being punished, he explained, "It's some news from the outer court, and it has nothing to do with the master." ”

Feng Ze was not at ease, and asked, "What's the matter?" Let's talk about it. ”

The little girl trembled and bowed her head to enter the door, "It's all talking outside, it's ......" Her voice was nervous, with an indescribable panic, "...... Xiliang and the imperial court fought. ”
