Chapter 125: Alliance
Mrs. Qing'an Hou is not a good mother-in-law, but since Chunting and Luo Yu got married, she has not made any substantive moves to stumble on Chunting, except that she did not call the people from all rooms to come over on the day of the tea ceremony, as if Chunting had nothing to do with her.
Of course, it is not excluded that Chunting, as a good daughter-in-law, did not ask her to grasp the handle, and she was not conscious every day and morning, and Chunting was not so attentive to the Sun family when she was a girl. No matter what she thought behind her back, at least in front of Mrs. Qing'anhou, Chunting behaved respectfully, and Mrs. Qing'anhou didn't even dare to say anything serious in front of Chunting, but whenever she found something wrong with Chunting, Chunting looked at her with red eyes, as if she had suffered a lot of grievances.
These days, the two of them are not tired of each other, but the well water does not interfere with the river water, and now Mama Ding wants Chunting to take the initiative to provoke contradictions, and Chunting feels very embarrassed.
Chunting is a good boy who doesn't want to stir up trouble, he has always adhered to the principle that people don't offend me, I don't offend people, I haven't taken the initiative since I was a child, and the first time I want to do such a thing, it is inevitable that I will be a little weak-hearted, so the good boy Chunting decided to discuss this matter with Luo Yu.
On this day, Luo Yuzheng was lying on the bed and was about to rest, and when he turned his head, he saw Chun Ting looking at him directly, so he reached out and took the person into his arms and asked, "What's wrong?" What's the matter? ”
Chun Ting thought for a moment, told Luo Yu everything that Mama Ding told her, and then looked at Luo Yu with anxiety.
"Mama is right." Luo Yu chuckled, "Look at the Luo family and the Bai family, aren't they both the eldest daughters-in-law who handed over the middle feed after entering the door?" There is no difference between our family, you just have to do it. ”
"But Mother ......"
As soon as Chun Ting hesitated to speak, he was interrupted by Luo Yu, "You don't have to care about your mother, we won't live with our mother for the rest of our lives, besides, you will have to be in charge of the family sooner, so it's better to adapt to it sooner if you take over earlier." ”
With Luo Yu's permission, Chunting slept peacefully, she was afraid of Luo Yu's embarrassment, on the one hand, her mother, on the other hand, her wife, how many men in this world have delayed a woman's years because of the word foolishness, if the old lady of the family lives longer, it is not uncommon to be a daughter-in-law for a lifetime.
Fortunately, Luo Yu was still on her side, and Chun Ting leaned into Luo Yu's arms, dragging Luo Yu's clothes and falling asleep.
On the second day, Chunting got up very early as usual, stretched out his hand to wake up Luo Yu, who was holding her, and then tidied up his appearance and went to Yao'en Courtyard to greet Mrs. Qing'an Hou.
Probably her mother-in-law was in a bad mood today, Chunting didn't even see Mrs. Qing'anhou's face, she sat in the main hall and ate a belly of tea, and Mrs. Qing'anhou sent a maid to come over and tell her that she was not feeling well, so she didn't have to wait any longer.
Chunting was as good-tempered as ever, not only did she not show any dissatisfied expression, but she casually rewarded the maid with a small silverfish, and told her to wait until Mrs. Qing'an Hou was comfortable and sent a little maid to Yuqing Courtyard to inform her, and she didn't stay long, and led the chess to leave.
Halfway to the road, Chunting suddenly stopped, and before Qiyu could ask her what happened, Chunting walked again, but this way was not to go back to Yuqing Courtyard, but to Sanfang.
Seeing Chunting like this, he no longer asked what Chunting was going to do, so he silently followed behind, watching her wife calmly go to the courtyard of the fifth lady.
The fifth lady was very surprised to see Chunting coming, but in the end, she was the lady who had been in charge for all these years, so she immediately changed her face, warmly beckoned Chunting to sit down, and brought a few plates of snacks and fruits up, Chunting glanced at it, all of which she was willing to eat, it is estimated that she did not find flower tea, and the tea cup was filled with honey water, which was prepared with heart.
It seems that the fifth lady has not been idle these days, these trivial things have been inquired, and she can still remember it, she is worthy of being the lady of the family for so many years, and this detail must be perfect, Chunting sighed to herself.
Chun Ting pinched a piece of dim sum and put it elegantly in his mouth, unable to find a mistake in his demeanor. I was in a hurry to get up in the morning, and I didn't have time to eat a few bites, but now the fifth lady arranged it just to her heart.
"I haven't seen my younger siblings come out and walk around, and I'm still thinking that you are not happy to deal with my cousin-in-law, why do you have time to come to me today?" The fifth lady joked and looked at Chunting with interest.
Chun Ting smiled shyly, "Sister-in-law can laugh, I'm just a newcomer who doesn't want to cause any trouble for my sister-in-law." I'm young, I don't understand many things, we don't rely on my mother in the room to guide me or two, I'm just an idler, but I can't always meddle in their father's affairs, it's really boring in the yard every day, don't you come to talk to my cousin-in-law, my cousin-in-law doesn't annoy me, right? Or am I delaying my cousin's work? ”
Chun Ting said a long list in one breath, and the fifth lady didn't show any impatience, and after listening with a smile, she asked someone to add a cup of tea to Chun Ting, telling her to moisten her throat.
Looking at the little girl in front of her who still had some childish on her face, the fifth lady sneered in her heart, she was still ignorant of the world, but now it seems that this is not the case, how many pits have been set up for her in these words? But come to think of it, people who have been born as maids and mixed up to this point can still have dim sum machine means? After crawling around in this world, who can still come out innocently, the innocence is just pretending to be shown to men.
"I'm annoying to you wherever you are, if you don't come to look for me, I'll look for you." The fifth lady was light-hearted, "The old lady is indeed a little busy, I thought you could share her old man's worries, but you are a quiet person, come here to gossip with me." ”
The two glanced at each other, there was more or less tacit understanding in their eyes, Chun Ting's heart was a little settled, she knew that it would not be wrong to come to the third room, what she lacked now was a powerful helper, she wanted to divide power from Mrs. Qing'an Hou, she had to have something to do, it was impossible for her to rely on herself, and the fifth lady was really a suitable candidate.
The fifth lady has been in charge of the family in the old house of Shaoling for many years, and Mrs. Qing'anhou took away her right to be in charge of the family as soon as she came, but Mrs. Qing'anhou is an elder, and the fifth lady is not good to say anything. But fortunately, the fifth lady is also a local snake, in the old house of Shaoling for so many years, it is unbelievable to say that the fifth lady has no arrangement at all, so she came to find the fifth lady today, the purpose is very clear, the fifth lady is also a smart person, without talking too much, the fifth lady can understand the meaning of the spring court, even if the wall has ears, she is not afraid, so a temporary, maybe a solid alliance will be finalized.
Chun Ting returned to Yuqing Courtyard with satisfaction, no matter what kind of mentality the fifth lady had in response to her request, in short, this is a good start, no matter whether the fifth lady is the one who takes advantage of the fisherman, at least she will not live in Shaoling for the rest of her life, right? If King Liang succeeded, they would naturally have to return to the capital, and the fifth lady would not be able to go to Beijing with them if they stayed in the old mansion; If King Liang is defeated, his life may not be able to be saved at that time, so how can he still worry about who is in charge of the family.
Therefore, this deal, no matter how you calculate it, Chunting will not lose money.
The next days were still calm on the surface, and it was uncertain who was turbulent behind the scenes, and Chunting was still her good daughter-in-law and baby, and no one could find fault with this new lady when she saw people.
However, before Chunting could make any moves, Luo Yu was about to leave Shaoling. Not because of him, because King Liang was going to make a move, King Liang wanted to attack Yicheng and wanted to find the Su family to borrow the way.
A few days ago, several feudal kings in the north were having a good time, even if the war was about to spread to the capital, King Liang did not take any action, like a bystander, watching them fight and kill, and even contacted a few people who had a relationship with him before to send troops to reinforce, taking advantage of his unpreparedness to take over the three cities in the north, and was directly labeled as a rebel by Prime Minister Guo Cheng in Kyoto.
But what people said is right, King Liang's move is no different from rebellion, it is King Liang who takes advantage of his unpreparedness to reap the benefits of the fisherman, and uses the least number of troops to attack the most territory, but whether he can hold it depends on two things.
King Liang sent nearly one-third of the troops in the fiefdom to the northland to fish in troubled waters, and also touched a big one, but I am afraid that everyone is coveting this fish, however, the north is far away from here, and many things are beyond the reach of King Liang's whip, if the troops are moved to Xingqing in the north, it will inevitably be empty, King Liang does not want to give up the fish that has just arrived, and does not want to ask someone to steal the nest, so he has to have more troops.
And Yicheng happens to be a piece of fat sent to King Liang's mouth, Yicheng is vast and sparsely populated, but the army is sufficient, if Yicheng Taishou is a person under King Liang, it's okay to say, but if he is willing to be a minister, what do you do with so many troops? King Liang sent people to negotiate several times but failed, and now he finally can't help but come hard.
Moreover, attacking Yicheng will not only gain troops and territory, but most importantly, King Liang wants to see the attitude of the Su family. The Su family and the Luo family are in-laws, but the Su family is a century-old family, and the background is incomparable to the Luo family, Luo Yu is willing to cooperate with King Liang for various reasons, but Su Hanran is not necessarily, no matter who sits on the chair in the end, the Su family is still the Su family, and the troubled times are not swaggering, this is the capital of the Dashi family.
Luo Yu went here to go to Huaiyang to discuss this matter with Su Hanran, King Liang's army would arrive soon, and Su Hanran needed to make a decision as soon as possible.
It is very interesting that the main general sent by King Liang to attack Yicheng this time was not Changyan or the Qi clan, but sent his younger brother Cheng Wang. On the one hand, it is to show his sincerity to the Su family, and on the other hand, it is probably the most trustworthy King Liang now, and there is only King Cheng alone.
