Chapter 143: Hit You in the Face (Part II)
"That's right......" Qing Ruxu calmly passed by Qi Ayaxue, stopped at the door, suddenly turned around, smiled, and said: "If these paintings are circulated, I will definitely tell the world the county lord's infatuation with Jiang Rin, and when the time comes, I don't know if the benefits to the county lord outweigh the disadvantages, or the disadvantages outweigh the advantages?" ”
Qi Ayaxue had already lost the opportunity from the moment she said it, and her arrogance seemed to be burned to ashes with Jiang Rin's paintings! At this moment, looking at Qing Ruxu's departing back, the bones of hatred were tingling. She grabbed the paintings scattered on the ground and threw them all into the brazier!
"County Lord......"
Min Feng stepped forward worriedly, but was waved away by Qi Ayaxue! "She already knew! How would she know what I was going to do? How do you know what's in my mind? I also know that the matter of approving the order comes from my mouth...... I really underestimated her! Qi Ayaxue's face was pale, and she only felt that her cheeks were burning, as if she had been slapped dozens of times by Qing Ruxu!
However, she didn't know that Qing Ruxu's counterattack was much more than that......
………………
The winter snow and the oppressive and slightly dark weather made Xie a little irritable.
Since her eldest son, Lin Yi, became the Duke of Rongguo, she has been promoted to the wife of the Rongguo Mansion, and her biggest concern has been solved, but as a mother, she always has an unfinished heart, for example, her son's family affairs......
"Where's Grandpa Guo?"
Hearing her question, the maidservant Ziying immediately stepped forward and replied, "Grandpa Guo went out of the house early in the morning. ”
"Hmph." Xie snorted lightly: "How could he have gotten up so early before?" It's hiding from me! ”
Lin Yi has been forced to marry by the Xie family for several days, and he has been tired of it, and getting up early in the morning is easier for him.
Ziying didn't know what to say at this time, so she said: "Grandpa Guo also has the heart to follow Mrs. Tai, but there is really no suitable candidate, even if you tie Grandpa Guo to your home, it won't help......"
Xie Shi calmed his eyes, remembering the few words he heard about Lord Qi in the Song family yesterday, and he was very hesitant in his heart. Such a fatherless, motherless, and no elders are in charge, it stands to reason that it is indeed more convenient than asking to marry the daughter of someone else, but Qi Ayaxue is indeed a person with a high heart, how could she agree to marry Yi'er!
"Ziying, have you heard that the county lord of King Qi's Mansion has any signs of marriage?"
Ziying was taken aback: "Lord Qi? Slaves...... I haven't heard of anyone acting as a matchmaker for the lord of the county, Mrs. Tai...... Interested in praying to the county lord? ”
Xie Shi sighed, knowing that this matter was extremely difficult, "Alas, don't you think it's okay too?" ”
Ziying can't say that her grandfather is not good, but the facts are in front of her, a person who doesn't like women, if he is his daughter-in-law, can he still be good? Who would want to marry? It stands to reason that there are many slaves and maids in various mansions who want to climb up to the masters in the mansion, but in their mansions, the servants are far away from the grandfather of the country, and they have no intention of climbing up at all. What's more, the lord of the county, that is a rather lonely woman, no matter her appearance or talent, she is not worse than any lady in the capital, if it weren't for the embarrassment of her identity, she would have been asked to marry by hundreds of schools of thought!
"Mrs. Tai...... Lord Qi is indeed a suitable person, but ...... If you want her to marry into our mansion willingly, I'm afraid it's not easy, so I have to think of other ways...... "Ziying is Xie's confidant, and she dares to point out one or two things, although she is pitting Qi Ayaxue, but she is a person from Rongguo Mansion, and she should think about her own family."
Xie Shi said wistfully: "Although the Lord of Qi County has no parents and elders to make the decision, few people have provoked her for many years, firstly, because she is the daughter of a rebel, and no one wants to have anything to do with it; Second, because the emperor is unwilling to embarrass an orphan girl in order to show his mind as an emperor, if anyone bullies her, the emperor will inevitably make decisions for her. ”
Therefore, if you want Qi Ayaxue to enter the door obediently, you can't use a strong ......
Ziying thought about it, and there was no good way to say: "If Grandpa Guo can temporarily regain his mind and make some changes, it will ...... in time."
"If he can take care of it, we won't have to think so much." Jingzhong's impression of Yi'er is already like this, how can it be easily reversed. Xie Shi sighed, "You must think of a proper way, you must take her down in one fell swoop, and you must not show the news before this, lest she make any response." ”
Ziying didn't expect her to decide to make such a decision to make a calculation to pray for the county lord, but when she thought about it, she felt that it was inevitable. Mrs. Tai has no other way, for the sake of her son, there is nothing she can't do.
Xie Shi couldn't think of paying attention for a while, so he remembered the things in the house, "What about Lin Shengyuan's stupid thing?" ”
Ziying choked for a moment, I'm afraid that only they are Mrs. Tai who call their husbands like this in the capital. "The old man also went out......"
"Hmph, Lin Shengyuan, this dog thing, don't care about Yi'er, is Yi'er just my son!"
Since Lin Shengyuan was forced to give the title to his eldest son early, he has completely become enemies with their mother and son, when the two do not exist. Mixed with the concubine all day long, or went out to have fun, some time ago I bought a woman back, Xie didn't drink her tea, Lin Shengyuan simply crossed her and lifted her aunt directly, this Aunt Ling saw that their husband and wife were not harmonious, so she didn't take Xie in her eyes with Lin Shengyuan's connivance, and became a blessing.
Xie has been busy with his eldest son's family affairs and has no time to clean her up, and he has become more and more proud these days.
Ziying was afraid that Aunt Wen's matter would recur again, so she persuaded: "Mrs. Tai, the matter of Grandpa Guo will not be solved for a while, but it is the atmosphere in the house, it is better to tidy up, so as not to become the same as when Aunt Wen was in the past." ”
Xie suffered a lot of temper because of his eldest son's bad family, and he just took Aunt Ling out of anger. "Go, invite Aunt Ling over."
Ziying promised to give an order, and after waiting for a long time, she didn't see Aunt Ling coming, urging people to ask, but she said that Aunt Ling was sick and couldn't come to ask Xie for peace.
Xie Shi snorted coldly, "The shelf is not small, it is not only sick, but also the heart of the old country's grandfather, I should also take a look." As she spoke, she whispered to Ziying to prepare something, and then got up and went to Aunt Ling's yard.
Lin Sheng was far away from the mansion, Aunt Ling was panicking in the house, I heard that the Xie family had to see her, so she came in person, and secretly scolded the troubled old woman in her heart, wouldn't she take advantage of the old man's absence in the mansion to give her an ugly look? She randomly slapped some powder on her face to make her face look paler.
As soon as Xie came in, Yingying bowed: "The concubine has seen Mrs. Tai." ”
Aunt Ling was wearing a peach-colored dress, which looked particularly eye-catching, but it made her deliberately whitened face even whiter.
"Looking at the face, it's really sick." Xie Shi leisurely walked to the seat and sat down, looked at Aunt Ling's maidservant, and said: "There is a new batch of bird's nest in the big kitchen, I ate it better than in the past yesterday, go and stew a bowl for your master to eat, just to replenish the body." ”
Aunt Ling raised her eyebrows in surprise, and the maid looked at her and hurriedly went.
Xie Shi's face was not the slightest strange, and said: "I have been worried about the family affairs of Grandpa Guo recently, and Grandpa Lao Guo has neglected to take care of him, and I am grateful to have you to help me." ”
Aunt Ling couldn't figure out what Xie meant, and she didn't know if she was sarcastic, so she replied honestly: "Where is Mrs. Tai, this is the duty of a concubine." ”
Xie Shi smiled: "I guess you have also heard that there was an Aunt Wen in the house before. ”
Aunt Ling chuckled in her heart, this is here to give her a dismissal? "Yes, the concubine heard about it."
Xie Shi's face was pale, "That Aunt Wen, she is a person who doesn't know how to take proportion, she used to pestering Grandpa Guo day and night, Grandpa Guo's body is getting worse and worse, and as I get older, I thought, shouldn't I let Grandpa Guo often go out of the house to those fancy places, do you say yes or no?" ”
Aunt Ling reacted, pondering what Xie meant, is it for her to guard the old prince and let him go out of the house less? "What Mrs. Tai said is that Grandpa Guo should be born in the mansion and raised it."
Xie Shi showed a satisfied expression, "I see that you are a capable person, so I will look at Grandpa Guo for me, and let him go outside the house if he has nothing to do." ”
Aunt Ling thought that she had guessed correctly, and felt that the Xie family was really a straw bag, so she didn't dare to do anything to her, so her expression became more lively: "The concubines all listen to Mrs. Tai." ”
At this time, the maidservant girl next to Aunt Ling came back with a bowl of hot bird's nest in her hand.
"How is it so fast?"
The maid goddess looked a little uncomfortable, tried her best to hide her panic, and after listening to Aunt Ling's question, she explained: "The big kitchen is stewing bird's nest for Mrs. Tai, so I directly served a bowl." ”
Aunt Ling thought that she was afraid of Xie Shicai's appearance, so she couldn't help glaring at her fiercely, and she didn't suspect it, "Let it go." ”
Xie Shi raised his eyes, glanced at her casually, and said, "Bird's nest should be eaten while it is hot, and it will not be easy to eat when it is cold." ”
"Mrs. Tai is here ......"
"No need to be polite." Before Aunt Ling finished speaking, Xie interrupted her, "But eat a bird's nest, how can I blame you." ”
"Yes......"
When Aunt Ling saw Xie like this, she didn't think much about it, she just thought that she was so polite in order to let herself tie up Lao Rongguogong, so she picked up the bird's nest and ate a few bites. When I took her to scoop up the fifth spoonful, I overheard Xie Shi say, "These are enough, and it's not good to eat any more." ”
Aunt Ling's hand paused, and she looked up at her in confusion.
Xie Shi motioned for everyone around him to step back, and then put on a cold smile and said, "The things in here, I'm afraid that eating too much will kill you, these few bites are just ......."
The bowl in Aunt Ling's hand slammed to the ground, and she looked at Xie Shi in shock: "It's just right...... What the? ”
"It's just the right thing to keep you infertile for life."
Aunt Ling looked down at the porcelain shards and bird's nest residues on the ground in a daze, and then looked up at Xie's smile, only then did she understand, she began to feel the slightest pain in her abdomen, her feet fell back weakly, and cold sweat had flowed down her forehead.
"You...... How dare you give me something like that? ”
