19. Messing around

Xia Xing raised his hand and signaled: "Little Dezi, do you know how their eight characters are not matched?" Let's hear it. "Everyone was speechless, 'Your Highness, your focus is always so unexpected, hehehehe'.

Xiao Dezi slapped a thousand children and said: "Back to His Royal Highness, it is not worthy of being polite, it seems to be a very poor annotation, 'big murderer, the house is restless'." Di Tai hurriedly said: "This is not Miss Jiang's eight characters, this is Jiang Bao'er's, it seems that God can't stand it anymore, but I can't let them get married." ”

Xia Han was full of inquiry: "Xiao Dezi, do you know very well? Although this matter has been concerned by many parties, and there is a lot of buzz outside, it is impossible to even have such a clear conversation between Mrs. Dou and Miss Jiang, at that time, there were only the two of them in the study? Xiao Dezi said respectfully: "Back to Your Highness, this matter is not spread from the outside, but from the palace." ”

Lu Wan echoed: "Yes, Your Highness, this is from Cining Palace, and this matter was told to the Queen Mother by Taifu Dou himself." Xia Han understood: "Oh, I want to hear about it." "I thought it was meant to be told to us.

Xiao Dezi continued: "This is the story that Mrs. Dou told to the Queen Mother about him and Miss Jiang in order to let the Queen Mother give her marriage. Since Mrs. Dou and Miss Jiang met that day, Mrs. Dou asked Miss Jiang to go home to get married, and Miss Jiang ran away in a panic, the more Mrs. Dou thought about it, the more wrong it became, how could Miss Jiang and a woman enter the palace casually? ”

"And she couldn't come to see herself, at that time, Mama Ke took her to say, 'This is a new girl, teaching painting, he will be more relaxed in the future', how did she become a Mengxue girl? And he married the Jiang family in the matter with the household department, there are few people in Beijing who don't know about this, how could he let her in as a maiden? ”

"Whose will is it? So Mrs. Dou immediately sent someone to inquire about Miss Jiang, and he sat in front of the window and remembered that day in Huguo Temple to ask the little master about Miss Jiang, so he asked which family came to the temple to offer incense today, and what the little master said at that time, it was the female dependant of the family of Lord Jiang in the matter from the household department. Am I mistaken? ”

Mrs. Dou waited in a trance for a day, and only when she returned home in the evening did she inquire clearly. Back to him: The Jiang family has two daughters, and it seems that the second lady Jiang Bao'er is the second lady who is talking to the young master, and I heard them say that the eldest lady Jiang Ling'er was hired as a concubine for the third prince of the Jiumen Admiral's Mansion. Miss Jiang Baoer is preparing to get married at home, and the Admiral's Mansion seems to be urging the Jiang family to set a date and come to pick up Miss Jiang these days. The Jiang family doesn't know how to do it, just like the last time we went back, Miss Jiang was sick at the Governor's Mansion, and now it is rumored that the Jiang family's feng shui is not good, as long as there is a young lady who is sick. Young Master, Young Master, Young Master, are you listening? Master..... ”

"Mrs. Dou asked the little guy again, 'So the Admiral's Mansion went to propose marriage after us'?" The little guy replied, "Of course, young master, I heard that the third young master passed by Zhuangzi and fell in love with the young lady inside, and asked someone to inquire before going to the Jiang family to hire him." Mrs. Dou immediately hammered down the table angrily and said, "Good Jiang family, say that the second lady will be said first, and then the eldest lady, is it that I Shangshufu didn't make it clear or did he not understand?" ’”

"The little guy said again, 'It's absolutely clear, the second uncle went there in person on the day of the meeting, and the two young ladies of the Jiang family are two years old, one is the same as the basket and the other is not the same, how can this be wrong?' Mrs. Dou asked, 'When did Miss Jiang in the palace enter the palace'? ”

"The little guy returned" was a month ago, and it was after the Admiral's Mansion proposed his relatives, and the young master discussed his relatives and Geng Tie before. I heard that when Miss Jiang entered the palace, the female official next to the queen asked for leave to return to her hometown, so she first worked as an errand in Fengxiang Palace, and then the female official came back, and the queen was very satisfied with Miss Jiang's management of Fengxiang Palace during this time, and felt that she was good at learning and was short of people, so she recommended her to Mengxue as a female master'. ”

That night, Mrs. Dou couldn't sleep over and over, thinking about Miss Jiang when she first met her in the temple, and thinking about her demeanor when she saw Miss Jiang again in Mengxue, secretly scolding herself for being careless, why didn't she find out earlier. At that time, Miss Jiang must have been very sad and wronged when she saw herself, how did Miss Jiang spend this time? ”

"It's easy to open the palace door, Mrs. Dou can't take care of breakfast, and he runs to Mengxue without a moment's delay, at that time, the palace people who opened the door and the snow were startled, and Mrs. Dou ran half of Mengxue before he remembered that there is no one in class now, but the painting classes are scheduled in the afternoon, he can't wait, grabbed a sweeping palace maid and asked where Miss Jiang is, and ran to see Miss Jiang."

When Mrs. Dou arrived at Miss Jiang's residence out of breath, Miss Jiang was feeding the young birds in the flower hall. Mrs. Dou looked at it quietly for a while, then walked in and said, 'I didn't expect it to grow so big', Miss Jiang was shocked and asked, 'Mrs. Dou, why are you here, but is there something wrong?' ”

"Mrs. Dou smiled and said, 'You should call me Zijun, I know everything, don't worry, everything is with me, you are here waiting for me to come back', and then went out without looking back. This Mrs. Dou went directly out of the palace to the Jiang family in the household department, and the Jiang family was very happy to hear that Mrs. Dou came to the door, and Lord Jiang greeted him at the gate from afar, and Mrs. Dou did not go straight to the topic when he entered the house. ”

"Master Jiang pretended to be confused there and said, 'Virtuous nephew, the two families have already met, just waiting to discuss the marriage date, and now the little girl still has half a year to go, I mean let's set the wedding date in the second half of the year, and the New Year's Day will be good." Oh oh, that's too busy, isn't it, how about a month early? Well, this, around the Mid-Autumn Festival, how about the virtuous nephew'? ”

"Mrs. Dou said quietly, 'Lord Jiang is mistaken, I came today to hope that Lord Jiang can set things right, and this matter has not yet reached the point where everyone knows about it'. Master Jiang wiped the sweat from his head and said, "Where did you start with the virtuous nephew, is there anything that the lower officials have done inconsiderately?" ”

Seeing that Lord Jiang still didn't admit it, Mrs. Dou raised his hand, and Fu Bo stood up and said, "Lord Jiang, I personally came to propose a kiss for the young master that day, what we talked about that day, I still remember Qingqing, can I help you recall your memories?" You promised well at the time, what do you say about this stealing of a partner'? ”

Seeing that Lord Jiang still didn't admit it, Mrs. Dou raised his hand, and Fu Bo stood up and said, "Lord Jiang, I personally came to propose a kiss for the young master that day, what we talked about that day, I still remember Qingqing, can I help you recall your memories?" You promised well at the time, what do you say about this stealing of a partner'? ”

"At that time, Lord Jiang couldn't sit still, stood up and said, 'How can I say this, the chief manager, I also follow the meaning of Shangshufu, how can I say that, how can I let others think of my Jiang family's daughter if it is passed out'? Fu Bo was angry at that time and said, "How can Master Jiang say that it is according to the meaning of Shangshufu, we came to mention the eldest lady Jiang Ling'er's relatives at that time, what do you mean by replacing this with the second miss?" ”

"This Lord Jiang said, 'Oh, why is Ling'er, it has always been Bao'er, Ling'er has already set up a marriage, how can this Ling'er and the basket have not had relatives for more than a year? At that time, when the chief manager came to propose, he said that he hired my Jiang family's daughter-in-law, and this concubine is not the only one left, don't you tell me that you don't even know if the woman has a marriage before you come to propose'? The chief steward was immediately choked speechless. ”

Bing Ning tilted his head: "How come?" Xiao Dezi, didn't you say that in order to make her daughter marry better than Miss Jiang, Mrs. Jiang Bao'er was married before she proposed to Miss Jiang? And what kind of admiral Sanshao is behind Dou Taifu to get married. ”

Xiao Dezi explained: "Girl, everything is said by the Jiang family, that's not a matter of a sentence, Miss Jiang must not have decided to be in charge of an outsider, can an outsider know better than her parents?" Ditai said angrily: "So he wants to repay the debt? "This Lord Jiang has no credibility at all, which is infuriating.

Xiao Dezi nodded and continued: "Taifu Dou saw that if he couldn't reason with this Lord Jiang, he could only suppress people with power, so he said, 'Master Jiang, no matter how you explain what happened before, you should be clear about the purpose of my coming today, and you should also know the attitude of Shangshufu, please think carefully and give me an answer'." ”

"Then Lord Jiang immediately got up as a scoundrel and said, 'Dou Gongzi, aren't you embarrassed to be a subordinate and embarrassed to the Jiang family? This Ling'er is married, how can she marry you again? And you've already negotiated with Bao'er to get married, where are you so close to Bao'er? Besides, the reputation of one daughter and two marriages is ruined, how do you let Ling'er behave? How can the lower officials explain to the Admiral's Mansion? ’

"Mrs. Dou said angrily: 'So, Lord Jiang is going to go his own way?' When Mrs. Dou and Master Jiang were tense, the voice of the maid and Mrs. Jiang came out of the living room compartment, "Miss, miss, what's wrong with you?" Bao'er, Bao'er, wake up, don't scare my mother, Bao'er'. ”

"It turned out that Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Bao'er heard that Mrs. Dou was coming, so they went to the cubicle to eavesdrop on the conversation, and the messy inside and outside did not give in, but Lord Jiang was very angry when he heard that his daughter had an accident, and stood up and said, 'Although my Jiang family is not as powerful as the Dou family, I will never do such a treacherous thing, Ling'er's family affairs are decided, Dou Gongzi, please do it'."

"After Master Jiang brushed his sleeves away, Mrs. Dou in the Jiang family's living room jumped to his feet casually, and even said, 'What kind of person is this, what kind of family is it, it seems that we rob the people's girls and use power to oppress people, obviously they are secretly making ghosts.' Fu Bo also sighed and said, "What now, young master, do you want to tell the master about this?" ’”

Mrs. Dou said no, go back first. He was afraid that Dou Shangshu would know that he would be even more displeased with Miss Jiang, and before this group of people left the mansion, they met the third prince of the Admiral's Mansion, and the other party was very enthusiastic and began to greet him, "Dou Gongzi is so coincidental, I heard that you and the second lady are married, congratulations, we will be connected in the future." Mrs. Dou was unhappy in her heart, and when she saw these three sons, she was even more angry, and she walked away without giving any face. ”
