Chapter 136: Aunt Wang
But she was still happy, after all, the third prince could come at such a moment, which really surprised and surprised her.
He hadn't forgotten himself.
Trying to survive in the gap between the favored concubine Gu and the main wife Zhu, she has not lived well these years.
An aunt who is not favored by men, the life can be imagined. She is not even as good as a maid with a face, and she has to be rejected by others when she eats and wears.
While suffering from the increasingly crazy movements of the three princes, the Wang family thought that those subordinates should look at themselves differently tomorrow.
After about a quarter of an hour, the third prince finally finished his work and got up to straighten his clothes, while Wang lay on the bed disheveled.
"It's too deserted in your house, so I'll give you a little incense. You smoke it. I'll come back tomorrow. The third prince looked sideways at Wang's Dao.
The Wang family felt sore all over, and when he heard the words of the third prince, he was overjoyed, and said, "Yes, the concubine has smoked the house fragrantly, waiting for the master to come." ”
The third prince glanced at Wang, then got up and walked out of her room.
In that room, Zhu sat on the couch by the window with Liu Mengyan in his arms, watching the maids outside set off fireworks with a smile on his face.
Tian's mother and a few maids were holding all kinds of fireworks in their hands and were setting off fireworks.
Liu Mengyan snuggled in Zhu's arms, watching the burning "trees full of gold" and "golden dragon soaring" spewing gorgeous sparks,
Reflecting the red faces of the maids.
She couldn't help but think of the previous life today, she had just lost her mother, and she was in a hurry, full of sadness.
"Mother, I heard Qiu Ping say, Daddy came over today?" Liu Mengyan asked softly.
"Yes. His mother told him that he would let him break the body of the person who harmed Qingde into ten thousand pieces, and his mother would forgive him. Zhu said calmly.
Liu Mengyan was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that my father can't do it!" ”
"Then we don't want him. As long as his mother occupies the position of the main room, he can't let the Gu family and daughter bully us. Zhu smiled.
"Hmm. We don't want Daddy. Li'er took her mother and younger brother to marry, and lived a safe and prosperous life, which is not bad. As long as the mother is not afraid! Liu Mengyan said.
"Mother is not afraid!" Zhu hugged his daughter tightly.
"Mother, what do you think of the Guo family?" Liu Mengyan said suddenly.
"What, he confessed to you?" Zhu lowered his head nervously and looked at his daughter.
"Not yet! The daughter just asked her mother, how is the Guo family? Liu Mengyan's face was calm.
"My mother thinks the Guo family is acceptable. As long as Guo Zitao is single-minded to you, unlike your father...... My mother was happy. Guo Jiali's Ministry of Rites is still a little poorer. But my mother's dowry is enough to buy you a very decent dowry. Zhu said.
"I don't know if people will come to confess!" Liu Mengyan sneered and said, "Mother is thinking about buying a dowry for Li'er!" ”
"If he doesn't come, it only means that he has no vision. My mother's daughter is so good, but she is worried that she can't marry a good family? Zhu said dotingly, "Your family affairs have to be discussed as soon as possible." Tomorrow, my mother will go back to your grandmother's house with you. ”
Liu Mengyan noticed a strange look flashing in Zhu's eyes, so she asked, "Mother, are you hiding something from Li'er?" ”
Zhu shook his head and said, "My mother still has something to hide from you." ”
"No, there must be something in my mother's heart. Is it related to daddy? Liu Mengyan sat up from Zhu's arms and stared into Zhu's eyes.
"It's really nothing. My mother has seen through your father, what else can make my mother sad? Zhu hurriedly covered up.
"Mother, you can't lie at all. Tell Li'er quickly, maybe Li'er has a way to solve the matter in her mother's heart. Liu Mengyan said hurriedly.
"After the fifth day of the new year, my mother will discuss your family affairs with your grandmother. As long as you have a partner, settle down early. He couldn't make up his mind! Zhu was forced to say so.
Surprise flashed in Liu Mengyan's eyes.
She already understood what Zhu said just now.
"Did my father tell my mother about Li'er's family affairs? Does he want Li'er to become the crown prince's concubine? Liu Ruli blurted out.
Zhu looked at his overly smart daughter and was speechless in surprise.
Although Zhu didn't say anything, the expression on her face said it all.
"He doesn't think about it!"
These words almost popped out of Liu Mengyan's mouth.
"Li'er, don't worry. My mother will never agree. So as long as your grandmother sets a family affair for you, and your mother promises it again, they can't do anything. Zhu pulled Liu Mengyan, who was stunned there, into his arms and comforted her.
Hearing the news suddenly, Liu Mengyan was really a little unable to adapt.
She had told herself that she would never set foot in a royal battle again in this life, and would never give everything she had for an unworthy man.
"Mother, I'm not afraid. Even if there is no family affair, Li'er will not be at anyone's mercy. Liu Mengyan said word by word.
Zhu put his arm around her and said, "Mother will never let you be his stepping stone." The daughter of the Fu family has something like that, and he still wants you to follow in her footsteps! ”
Liu Mengyan suddenly smiled and said, "Daddy really wants to be promoted, he wants to go crazy!" ”
"If he takes out the one in Rongxi Hall and the one in Rongde Hall, my mother will really divorce him, and she will not agree!" Zhu said.
"Mother, don't worry. He's wishful thinking. The life and death of the sister of the Fu family are uncertain, and the heavenly family will not make a move to regret the marriage for a while. After all, Fu Lao is an auxiliary minister of the cabinet. Liu Mengyan said calmly.
"No matter what, if you have already decided on the family affairs, we will take the initiative." Zhu nodded.
The next day, in the Rongxi Hall.
The third prince was accompanying the old lady of the third room to entertain the relatives of the Gu family who came to Liufu to pay New Year's greetings.
Gu was naturally present, and Liu Ruomei was also on the side.
The Gu family was flattering the three old ladies and the three princes, telling them some popular slang words, which made the three old ladies laugh.
Gu Shi was also talking intimately to one of the women who came on the side, but Liu Ruomei on the side suddenly felt a little bored.
She lowered her head and looked at the gold bracelet in her hand, which had been given to her by the third old lady early this morning.
A gaze shot from the opposite side, stabbing Liu Ruomei suddenly felt uncomfortable, so she raised her eyes and looked over.
I saw a young man in a brocade robe looking at her, and when Liu Ruomei saw him clearly, she couldn't help but smile slightly.
It turned out that this young man was the only grandson of the Gu family now, named Gu Yugui. His father is Aunt Gu's cousin, and he and Liu Ruomei are cousins.
The Gu family has fallen from the middle of the family since Aunt Gu's generation, and they all rely on the help of the old lady in the third room and the Gu family to survive.
Liu Ruomei looked at this Gu Yugui's fluttering eyes, and dared to look at herself like this in public, so she came up with a plan and said, "Grandmother, Mei'er wants to go out for a walk." ”
The old lady in the third room was talking to Gu Yugui's father, so she didn't stop her, so she went.
Liu Ruomei got up, walked outside, came to the door, and smiled back, seeing that Gu Yugui was still looking at her.
Liu Ruomei threw a wink at Gu Yugui, and then walked out the door.
……
Liu Ruomei took a walk in the small garden in front of Rongxi Hall with her hand playing the piano.
She had just walked past the rockery when she was suddenly startled by a figure.
"Cousin!"
Liu Ruomei pretended to look at him in surprise, and said coquettishly: "Why did my cousin come out too?" ”
"I haven't seen you for a few years, my cousin is really out of the ordinary, and she is becoming more and more beautiful...... "Gu Yugui said with a prodigal expression.
The piano on the side was about to say something, but was stopped by Liu Ruomei with a look.
"My cousin was also born heroic." Liu Ruomei pretended to be shy.
"Cousin! It would be nice if I could see my cousin every day, but it's a pity ......" Gu Yugui was praised by Liu Ruomei, and immediately wanted to pull Liu Ruomei's hand.
A young man like him, who doesn't learn or know, but has a bad habit of being a gentleman, has evil thoughts when he sees a beautiful woman on weekdays.
Liu Ruomei endured the disgust in her heart, and said with a smile: "If my cousin wants to see Mei'er every day, it is actually not difficult. ”
"Cousin, then tell me quickly, how can I make my cousin see you every day?" When Gu Yugui saw her say this, his heart suddenly burst into joy.
"It's not easy. As long as you become my brother-in-law, or brother-in-law, you will see it every day. Liu Ruomei snorted and laughed.
Gu Yugui touched the back of his head, looking like he couldn't understand the meaning of her words.
"Cousin, do you think Mei'er is beautiful?" Liu Ruomei is dripping and authentic.
"Beautiful, beautiful. My cousin is the most beautiful person I've ever met. Gu Yugui only felt that his heart was about to jump to his throat.
"Actually, I have a sister who is more beautiful than Mei'er. Would you like to see my cousin? Liu Ruomei smiled again.
When Gu Yugui heard her words, he said with a little disbelief: "My cousin is already a great beauty in the country, where is there anyone more beautiful than my cousin!" ”
"Absolutely. If you don't believe me, come with me! Liu Ruomei took the handkerchief in her hand and swept it towards Gu Qing's face.
Liu Ruomei took Gu Yugui all the way to Chu Xiuxuan. She wants to introduce this prodigal to Liu Mengyan.
At this moment, Liu Mengyan happened to be sitting in the wooden pavilion in Chu Xiuxuan's front yard, laughing with Bitong and a few of her maids.
Liu Ruomei took Gu Yugui to the door of Chu Xiuxuan.
They could see the people sitting in the wooden pavilion, but the master and servant of Liu Mengyan in the wooden pavilion could not see them.
"Cousin, look at the people in the wooden pavilion?" Liu Ruomei glanced at Gu Yugui and said.
Gu Yugui looked along Liu Ruomei's slender fingers, but saw a girl in scarlet clothes sitting between two women dressed as maids, they were talking something, and from time to time they let out a pleasant laugh like a yellow warbler.
The girl was wearing a crimson skirt, with a snake bun combed on her head, one on each side of the two and Tilian golden hairpins, which showed that her face was incomparably bright, with a goose-egg-shaped face, a pointed chin, red lips and white teeth, and the eyes under the long eyelashes were more like autumn water cut-out pupils, which attracted people's attention.
Gu Yugui stood in place, looking obsessed and motionless.
Seeing his appearance, Liu Ruomei raised a hand and shook it in front of Gu Yugui, smiling to herself: "Is it beautiful?" ”
