The Lantern Festival has passed, and the long Spring Festival is also over, and it is not like a festival that needs to be brightly lit to celebrate, but late at night on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, the Yue family is uncharacteristically lit everywhere. The subordinates of each courtyard were so quiet that they didn't dare to make a sound, and they all listened attentively to the movement of Hemingxuan.

That's right, on this big night, after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, he stayed in the palace and did not return on duty, and today is also the old lady Yue, who came back after the end of the day, called all his sons and daughters-in-law to Hemingxuan.

The second wife and the third wife each took their children to enjoy the lanterns with their mother's family last night, and when they returned home, they learned about the dispute downstairs in Chaoyun, and they were angry, hateful and afraid for a while. The two were disgraced by their respective husbands, and they were worried all night but didn't see their father-in-law come back, so they were a little relieved, but they didn't expect that they still couldn't escape this hurdle now.

Although the old lady Yue did not speak salty or light after they arrived, and did not mention the incident last night at all, but the second wife and the third wife were thinking about it for a day and a night, thinking that the long pain was better than the short pain, and it was easy to see that there was a gap in the old lady Yue's cloudy words, and the second lady said loudly: "Old lady, yesterday the sister-in-law took the fourth brother and sister to Chaoyun Tower to enjoy the lanterns......

Before she finished speaking, she saw the old lady raise her hand slightly, realizing that her father-in-law didn't want to hear this, and her explanation and justification were suddenly blocked there.

However, the third wife was not as eye-catching as her sister-in-law, and mistakenly thought that the second wife was waiting for her help, so she hurriedly followed and said: "My second sister-in-law and I didn't go because we had an appointment with my mother's family, but the person who made trouble was planted on us, which is really hateful......"

Seeing that Old Lady Yue frowned slightly, the third old man was obviously a little impatient, and hurriedly opened his mouth to stop: "Dad didn't ask you this, what are you talking nonsense here!" It's already embarrassing, aren't you enough? ”

was yelled at by her husband, and the third wife was full of grievances and couldn't hold back anymore, and instantly burst out: "Where did I say something wrong?" It's a good Lantern Festival, I have a lively festival with my brothers, sisters-in-law, nephews and nieces at home, how could I expect to be slandered! Although my fourth siblings and I are not as close as my sister-in-law and her, after she came back, I didn't take care of and send things, so why did I look down on her? ”

"It's all the daughters-in-law of the Yue family, even if I have any grievances, as for asking outsiders to shout at her in public, isn't it? That's clearly framed, despicable and shameless! ”

Seeing that his wife was not done yet, if he didn't stop it, he would probably really say something irreparable, so he was furious, grabbed the third wife's wrist and shouted: "I think you are crazy!" Is enough enough? If you say enough, you will go back with me, they are all children and daughters-in-law, and they don't know how to set an example for them......"

Seeing that the third son dragged the third daughter-in-law out, the old lady put down the teacup in his hand and said unhurriedly: "Did I say who to go?" ”

The steps taken by the third master were immediately retracted. He glanced back at the old lady uneasily, and saw that the old father's face could not see joy and anger, he became more and more uneasy, and hurriedly pulled the third lady with red eyes back to her place, and glared at her after letting go of his hand, and then he knelt down in fear.

"Dad, it's all sons who can't control it......"

"Get out of the way!"

The old lady Yue reprimanded unceremoniously, and when he saw that the third old man was trembling, he drooped his head and stood up and retreated, so he said angrily: "I haven't mentioned what happened last night, you are more wronged than the other, scrambling to dig out your hearts and lungs, pointing out that I don't know your little thoughts?" Don't worry, it's not a family matter, I don't care about the strict Xuanlong manager. ”

Mrs. Yue said I don't care, not only did she not make the two couples in the second and third rooms feel at ease, but made them gasp at the same time. Yan Xu and Yue Xiaosi are iron buddies, and they are Yue Qianqiu's masters, and it is certain that their elbows are turned in. If he really lets him pull out something, they can't even wash it by jumping into the Yellow River!

Just when they hurriedly wanted to defend themselves, they saw the old lady Yue gently patted the armrest twice, and said lightly: "But there are pros and cons to everything, and the affairs of the fourth daughter-in-law cannot be hidden from people for a lifetime. ”

This name is divided into two words, the second master and the third master always feel that the older lady is referring to something, and the soul is not possessed for a while. You must know that Yue Xiaosi ran away from marriage and ran away from home in a negative mood, and there were also quite a few tricks behind them.

As for the second wife and the third wife, what they thought was that the fourth brother and sister could actually meet the emperor, and they were envious and jealous of this, but they could give them a hundred guts, and they didn't dare to ask what was going on, so they could only promise to say yes. At this moment, the eldest lord, who had been standing aside without saying a word, suddenly coughed lightly.

"Dad, is that to wait until the matter of the fourth brother and sister is settled, and then entertain the two Xiangye and Mrs."

Mrs. Yue had just completely forgotten the Haikou he had boasted about, and when he heard the eldest son mention it, his eyes lit up, and he immediately slapped his thigh; "Whoever said it, of course, will be invited immediately! It's best to let them see it for themselves, that's the fun! ”

When the eldest lady saw that her father-in-law was guilty of a child's flaunting temper, she couldn't help laughing for a while, and hurriedly pulled Princess Ping'an and said, "Then do what the old lady said, when the time comes, I will help the four brothers and sisters, just like the previous small banquet, how about entertaining guests in the Qingfen Pavilion?" If the old lady says yes, I'll go back and write a post. ”

"Well, the day after tomorrow." Old lady Yue said unreasonably, "I'll go and tell those two in person tomorrow, if you don't come, you have to come." ”

This is pure nonsense, the eldest lady knows the character of the old lady, so naturally he will not try to stop the old man, so he can only echo and say a few words, but the eldest lady gently pulled Princess Ping'an's sleeve. It wasn't until this time that Princess Heian, who had been a little absent-minded just now, came back to her senses, but a spirit opened her mouth and asked, "Why hasn't Qianqiu come back yet?" ”

Realizing that this was in Hemingxuan, and there were a lot of people around, she suddenly felt a little embarrassed: "When my father called me over before, Nuo Nuo was still talking about it. Even if he goes to King Jin's Mansion to join in the fun, it's so late, he won't go to the cave room, right? ”

"How can he have the strength to make trouble in the cave room, people have been watching dramas and drinking all afternoon, and he has slept in the Jin Palace."

With these words, there was a gentle knock on the door outside, and as soon as the door opened, it was Yue Qianqiu who stumbled into the room, and everyone saw the pair of nudge hands behind his back. Although that person passed by in a flash, just like what he said, in the Yue family, no one could ignore the strong presence of this shadow, even if he didn't like to appear in front of people most of the time.

And after Yue Qianqiu stood firm, he saw that everyone except the old lady was looking at him...... Behind the scenes, even Princess Ping'an was full of curiosity, and he shrugged his shoulders, who was accustomed to this, and then strode up to the old lady Yue, and said with a smile: "Grandpa, I'm back." ”

"You still know to come back! If I hadn't asked Xiaoying to pick you up, would you be going to stay in King Jin's Mansion until early tomorrow morning? Could it be that you still plan to let Xiao Jing take Pei Bao'er to see you early in the morning? ”

The old lady Yue unceremoniously pointed to Yue Qianqiu's nose and counted it, seeing that he rubbed the soft flesh under his nose, and muttered that it was just a moment of sleep, he was really helpless against this lazy boy, so he could only kick it away: "Your mother and Nuo Nuo have been worried all night, thinking why is there no one to see, go over and compensate her!" ”

When Yue Qianqiu immediately passed in high spirits, Princess Ping'an didn't say a word about him, just nodded and pulled the person behind her, looking like a hen protecting her cubs, the old lady Yue couldn't help but secretly think that he had to get Yue Xiaosi back to subdue this kid, otherwise with his current mental strength, he didn't have time to keep an eye on this little grandson who would cause trouble all the time.

After a small episode, the old lady Yue said in a deep voice: "The emperor will be a prince in a few days, and you will all restrain your children, grandchildren and subordinates, don't cause trouble." It is true that being slandered by others is a disaster, but if you think for yourself, there is no wind and no waves, if you don't ask around there, as for letting people take advantage of such a loophole? If you have any thoughts, ask me directly! ”

The two couples in the second and third rooms suddenly looked like earth, and secretly complained to themselves. Your old man is so strong, even if we are full of questions, how dare we ask you? can be used to being suppressed by such an old man, seeing that the eldest lord and the eldest lady respectfully agreed, the cheap mother and son in the fourth room also nodded casually, and they could only respond with a bitter face.

"If you understand, you will go back, don't let me say some things over and over again, I am also old, and I don't have time to repeat them over and over again. One day, when I kick my feet to see your mother, you can go to Yingtianfu with housework! Seeing that the faces of his sons and daughters-in-law changed suddenly, they all wanted to kneel, and the old lady Yue beat the handrail angrily, "Put away this set, take a walk, I feel upset!" ”

Princess Ping'an didn't say a word and pulled up Yue Qianqiu and bowed and retreated, they left, the third master dragged his wife and quickly slipped away, and the second master didn't dare to stay and be scolded, and hurriedly beat the second wife with a smile and followed him back. But the eldest lady did not move, and after everyone left, seeing that the eldest lady did not move, she took the initiative to go over and cover the door again.

When she walked back to her original position, Old Lady Yue couldn't help coughing and said, "There is a small shadow outside, why don't you go in person." ”

The eldest lady put her hands in front of her and bent her knees slightly, because she smiled: "He doesn't know how much he has helped you on weekdays, and he also took a trip to bring Qianqiu back this big night. ”

The old lady Yue smiled at the intimate words of the eldest daughter-in-law, and the bad mood just now disappeared. He looked at the eldest son who was standing on the side, and thought that Renren and Yue Xiaosi were really two extremes, and after a while, he said: "The emperor's canonization of the crown prince was forced by Emperor Beiyan, and of course, he was forced to make up his mind by that Lin Zhining. Although a few teachers have been selected for the King of England, including Xiao Jingxian and Lin Zhining, the crown prince Zhan Shi has not yet been selected. ”

If Yue Qianqiu was here, he would definitely mutter, this is not simple, isn't it enough for the prime minister to serve as the prime minister?

But Da Wu doesn't have that rule, such as the prime minister, a minister who is at the apex of a hundred officials, to concurrently serve as the crown prince Zhan Shi, it is impossible, and even Shangshu concurrently serves as the crown prince Zhan Shi is too big. Even when there is a prince most of the time, most of the prince Zhan Shi is just a temporary stop for Hongluqing or Dali Siqing when he moves.

However, Lord Yue didn't think that his father deliberately talked to him about this matter, but only instructed him to take over the position of Prince Zhan Shi and take on other positions after a transition. He took a soft breath in disbelief, and then asked carefully, "Didn't Dad before...... Don't you want the Yue family to get close to the British king? ”

"I don't want to do it right now." Old lady Yue's face darkened as she spoke, "Qianqiu has mentioned that little fat man many times, although he is much more decent than he was at the beginning, it is still difficult to say whether he can become a Ming Jun in the future." Even if the emperor really made a prince, I didn't want the Yue family to get too close to him. But the emperor personally mentioned this matter to me, and asked Yu Jianzhong's son to also register his name in Zhan Shifu. ”

Although he seems quite calm about everything on weekdays, at this time, the old lady Yue seems to be as irritable as the father of ordinary people who want his son Jackie Chan: "Although you are not as flexible and changeable as Xiaosi, but you are calm and generous than him, I don't expect you to be the prime minister, you will be a scholar in the sky, and then steadily retire to support the third generation, with your daughter-in-law's ability to teach her children and grandchildren, the Yue family has almost this background." That dead little fat man is an uncertain person, and if you stab Lou Zi, you have to top the tank. ”

What's more, Yue Qianqiu had already told him what Xiao Qingqing had said to the emperor and the eldest princess of Dongyang before, and it was not clear whether that kid was the emperor's son or not, even if the emperor made up his mind now, what if something changed? The only regret he has now is why he didn't send it directly to the emperor after picking up Yue Qianqiu, but just nodded to the emperor.

Anyway, I can't tell the bloodline, even if Qianqiu will get into trouble with 10,000, it's still a little stronger than the little fat man! Of course, if the little fat man and Qianqiu were replaced, I don't know how many ministers would be angry with that kid......

The eldest lord glanced at his wife, who was first stunned and then calmed down, and finally said deeply to the upset old lady Yue: "Dad, my son knows your hard work. Since it is the emperor's will, accept it. Although my sons and grandchildren were not taught by me, and it is not easy to restrain the British king, if I can't do it, almost no one in the world can do it well. ”

helped Princess Ping'an to return to her relatives' house, and Yue Qianqiu was about to send her into the main room to rest, but suddenly she only felt a hand tightly pressing his hand on her arm. Seeing that Princess Ping'an did not turn her head sideways, but her hand was cold and piercing, he asked in a low voice, "Mother is worried about Dad?" ”

"It's not just him." Princess Ping'an paused slightly, then lowered her head slightly, "My right eye has been jumping for the past few days, although I know that this is superstition, but when I hear so many things recently, I always feel a little uneasy...... Qianqiu, your father has a soft armor mixed with gold wire, and I think there are similar things in the Yue family, so it's best for you to wear one for self-defense when you go out these days. ”

As she spoke, she looked sideways at Yue Qianqiu, and said seriously: "One south and one north have almost established the crown prince successively, but they can't be said to be completely sincere, but forced by the situation, this is not a good sign, no matter how careful you are." ”
