Chapter 577: Three Generations
took Princess Ping'an and Nuo Nuo to Hengshui Residence, and immediately a girl came up to say hello. Seeing that everyone's eyes couldn't help but glance at Princess Ping'an's face, Yue Qianqiu, who often came and went, said with a smile: "Okay, don't peek there, in the future, Nuo Nuo will often take her mother over to sit idle, and when the time comes, there will be a time for you to watch." ”
This was half a joke, half a beating, and for a while none of these subordinates, who had been taught a lot by the eldest lady, dared to make another time, and after they didn't even dare to say it, they sent everyone to the door of the main house, and opened the curtain to invite everyone in.
Yue Qianqiu turned sideways and let Princess Ping'an take Nuno in first, and then followed him into the threshold. When he entered the house, he saw that everyone else had already arrived. Like the girls who were eager to watch just now, more than a dozen pairs of eyes instantly fell on Princess Ping'an, including curiosity, doubt, contempt, and contempt.
After all, in a strict sense, there is nothing wrong with marrying without telling the word, and it is used on the four-room couple. However, the old lady Yue personally recognized Nuo Nuo and admitted this daughter-in-law, even if others have more dissatisfaction, they can only suppress it in their hearts, but at this time, those critical eyes are indispensable.
However, after seeing each other and greeting each other politely, the second wife and the third wife tasted the taste one after another. Compared with their sister-in-law, who has always been strong and atmospheric, this fourth brother and sister is the kind of person who is delicate to a little cowardly at first glance, but when she wants to stab her twice, she takes it as if nothing happened, but after a while, she will quietly return the salute, which is actually a needle hidden in the cotton.
If it's just that it's not easy to deal with, it's just that the old lady has already admitted this daughter-in-law, even if the old lady Yue has already admitted this daughter-in-law, they can also find fault with each other's background and family background. However, the four brothers and sisters sat there, smiling and moving, all of them were dignified and noble, and at first glance they seemed to be raised by a big family somewhere.
Because of this, after several confrontations, the second wife decisively shrank back and no longer be the pioneer of the temptation.
But the third wife was really unconvinced, especially when she was blocked in the Qin family because of those scholars making trouble, the two brothers not only didn't think she was right, but they all helped Yue Qianqiu speak.
Therefore, she took a deep breath and asked directly, "When did the fourth brother and sister achieve good things with the fourth brother?" It's just a matter of not writing a letter to my family, not even a post or a letter explaining afterwards, which is too unusual......"
Before she finished speaking, she only heard a bang, and when she looked up, she saw that it was the eldest master who patted the armrest, and the third lady was shocked and hurriedly closed her mouth. But even so, what came was still the rebuke of the big lord like a storm.
"Third brother and sister, are you the head of the family, or the eldest sister-in-law in the fourth room, everything has to be reported to you? The fourth brother had already written a letter back to report the matter of marrying a wife and having a daughter like an old lady, so he sent someone to send Nuo Nuo back. As for the fact that I picked up my four siblings in the middle of the road this time, it was also the news that my father sent me in advance! What nonsense is there outside, I intercepted people on the way, and you can actually believe it? If the fourth brother hadn't sent me a letter earlier, how could it have been such a coincidence! ”
When the third master Yue saw that his wife was reprimanded by his eldest brother, even if he was angry with her and talked nonsense, but as a husband and wife, he had to save face for her after all, so he still had to come out and speak for his wife and said: "Big brother, she just lost her words for a while......
"Gaffes? Some words can be lost, some words can be lost, she is already a mother-in-law, and she doesn't even understand such a shallow truth? Besides, the housekeeping of the fourth room, the old lady has not yet spoken, who dares to point fingers? ”
Mrs. Yue San had never seen the usual silent uncle suddenly thunder and rage like this, she was ashamed and angry for a while, her face was red, but she didn't dare to reply, but she was unwilling to admit her mistake, so she could only sit there stiffly, biting her lip and clutching her handkerchief silently. But she never expected that although the eldest lady said that she came out to be a peacemaker, she said an unbelievable news in the end.
"Master, the fourth brother and sister have just come home, please calm your anger, don't frighten people. The third brother and the third brother and sister should go back first, and persuade her well, there is a new concubine in the family, harmony is the best, and how the fourth brother and sister are, it is indeed not our turn to evaluate. You know, the old lady had already spoken to Ye Xiang and Yu Xiang, and when she turned around, she wanted to invite the two ladies to bring their daughters-in-law to meet the four brothers and sisters, and also threatened that her daughter-in-law had good luck, could it be that you want outsiders to see the joke? ”
The second wife originally planned to watch the excitement, but when she heard the eldest lady's words, she immediately realized that the old lady's daughter-in-law's good luck was undoubtedly praised by herself.
So, she hurriedly stood up and said with a smile: "The third brother and sister have always been knife-mouthed tofu hearts, you know the eldest brother and sister-in-law, today is really just a momentary gaffe." In this way, my third brother and I sent her back first......"
Although she and the third wife were a little ugly in the past, they also loved to fight for authority, but now that the long house is powerful, the eldest lady has even taken over the power of the housekeeper, she made up her mind not to let the third room be suppressed too much, and she had to pretend to be a good person with a pleasant face, and together with the third master of Yue, who was also holding back the fire in her heart, she invited the third lady who had a face as if she had cooked prawns.
As soon as they left, the two granddaughters-in-law of the second and third rooms would stay, so they naturally hurriedly retreated, and the room that was crowded just now with nowhere to put their feet was suddenly empty.
It was only at this time that Yue Qianqiu, who had been silent just now, let go of the hand that had been holding Nuo Nuo, and said to Master Yue with a smile: "Thanks to the eldest uncle, otherwise the third aunt will continue to mess around, and I will not be able to bear it." ”
The eldest lord glanced at his daughters-in-law and the maids and servants who were standing on the side, and immediately retreated with knowledge and interest, only the eldest lady left Yue Xiuyi, the eldest grandson, he glanced at his wife and understood what she meant by teaching her grandchildren, so he did not avoid Yue Xiuyi, and sighed softly.
"The fourth brother is working hard outside, and the fourth brother and sister have suffered so many twists and turns and grievances with him, I can't be angry for a while, just to be fair, it's also impulsive."
As he spoke, he looked at Princess Ping'an sincerely and said: "It's just that the next family comes and goes, I'm afraid that some shallow people will have to say something ugly, and it is likely that there will be times when the four brothers and sisters have been wronged, I will make amends to you here first." ”
Princess Ping'an was sick and weak in the past, her biological mother was humble, and her father almost never noticed that there was a daughter like her, and she didn't know how much idleness she had suffered from her brothers and sisters.
At that moment, she smiled indifferently and said: "Big brother, you have apologized to me many times for various things on the road, they are all family, there is really no need to do this." Ever since Shiro told me how he had run away, I knew there was always going to be some trouble when I came back. Now that I'm back, I've never regretted marrying him, and these little things don't matter. ”
"That leather monkey who has never been born in heaven and earth, it is really his blessing to marry you."
Lord Yue nodded sincerely. found that Yue Xiuyi was full of suspicion and looked at this and that, just full of confusion, he did not immediately explain to the eldest grandson, but glanced at the eldest lady again, and saw that his wife bowed slightly, obviously signaling that there was something to say, but it didn't hurt to say it, the inside and outside had been cleared, and no one would eavesdrop, so he opened his mouth again.
"I also came back today to find out that His Royal Highness King Jin began to go to the court yesterday, contrary to his previous attitude of not going to the court and not doing anything, and began to go to the court, and interacted with some officials. And although the county lord of Beiyan Huoshan is now recuperating in Liu's mansion, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not come out, and the emperor and the eldest princess have also visited her before, but it is not good to say whether she is really sick. ”
After saying these two news, the voice of the eldest master was extremely soft, but his tone was very solemn: "Dare to ask the fourth brother and sister if they have ever met with them before?" ”
Yue Xiu gasped when she boarded, and her mouth opened wide. He knows the movements of Xiao Jingxian, the king of Jin, but what the hell is the county lord of Beiyan Huoshan Mountain? Isn't it Xiao Qingqing, the owner of the Red Moon Palace, who lived in Liu's Mansion to recuperate, and Yue Qianqiu found it? Also, what does it mean that the fourth uncle and grandmother have met with them...... Could it be that the fourth uncle and grandmother are from Beiyan? Could it be that the fourth uncle went to Beiyan?
Compared with Yue Xiuyi, who was already frightened, Yue Qianqiu was much calmer. He still held Nuno who was rolling his eyes, and his eyes were looking at Princess Ping'an who was frowning and contemplating.
After a while, Princess Ping'an said softly: "My mother is from a humble background, and her health has never been very good, so she is not very present in all kinds of big scenes, and there are differences between men and women, although King Jin is the younger brother of the first queen, he has nothing to do with me, so the number of times I and King Jin have met from childhood to adulthood will not exceed five times, each time it is a large number of people, and he may not remember me." ”
Speaking of this, she paused for a moment, and then said uncertainly: "However, King Jin has always been unpredictable, and if he has the ability to never forget, it is very possible." ”
Yue Qianqiu immediately nodded and agreed: "Xiao Jingxian's demon, it is very likely that anything will happen to him, you really have to be more careful, it is best not to let him see his mother, after all, no one can be sure whether he has seen his mother in Beiyan before!" ”
Princess Ping'an couldn't help but smile when she saw Yue Qianqiu arranging Xiao Jingxian like this, and then said thoughtfully: "As for Xiao Qingqing, the county lord of Huoshan, I seem to have heard her name in my early years, but then the first queen passed away, and she has no news, even if she has seen me, it was at least more than ten years ago. ”
Hearing this, if Yuexiu repeatedly can't taste it, he will waste all these years that his wife has not only invited famous teachers for him, but also called people to his side all the time to mention his life.
Realizing that the fourth uncle and grandmother in front of him were from Beiyan, and I was afraid that her status in the palace was not low, and he could see Xiao Jingxian, the king of Jin, and the characters of the lord of Huoshan, he thought about his fourth uncle and ancestor who had never met before, and only felt that there was nothing impossible in this world.
The gentleman who ran away from marriage actually lurked in Beiyan and became a high-ranking official? This is really unthinkable!
Regarding Yue Qianqiu's suggestion, Lord Yue nodded approvingly, however, Princess Ping'an hesitated slightly, but said softly: "However, the county lord of Huoshan will not mention it for the time being, although the king of Jin is just hearsay, I also know that it is a person who does what he wants." If one day the family has a banquet for guests, even if they are all female guests, he will come uninvited and go straight forward, it is not allowed. ”
She couldn't help laughing as she spoke: "What's more, King Jin and Shiro used to have a good relationship, although it was after my 'death', but with his character, it may not be impossible to inquire about me, a very inconspicuous princess, and even if someone says that he got my portrait or something, it is not strange." But I've been 'dead' for a while, and he's been out all the time, so I'm sure I haven't seen him for at least three years. ”
At this time, Yue Qianqiu finally couldn't help but interrupt: "It's all a bad idea from my father, what can't I die, mother, you are obviously alive and well, how can you still talk about it now?" ”
The eldest lady couldn't help laughing: "What Qianqiu said is that even if you are young, you have a taboo anyway." ”
Princess Ping'an smiled lightly: "I'm used to it, when I married him, I knew that it was difficult for me to say how long I could live, and I just treated every day as if it was the last day to live, just enjoy life happily." Now that I am lucky enough to be able to come to Jinling and meet Shiro's father, brother and relatives, where do I still have so many taboos! ”
Speaking of this, she spread her hands indifferently: "So what I mean is very clear, I haven't seen it for three years, even if there is an image in the hands of people, as long as I behave differently from the Ping'an princess that King Jin saw at the beginning, then he will definitely not recognize it." ”
Yue Qianqiu saw that Yue Xiuyi had inevitably stared out of his eyes because of Princess Ping'an's self-confession, and Lord Yue exchanged glances with the eldest lady, obviously assessing the success rate of doing what Princess Ping'an said, so he pushed Nuo Nuo to Princess Ping'an's side, stood up with a smile and waved to Yue Xiu.
"Chang'an, our uncle and nephew haven't had a private chat for a long time, how about finding a place to chat?"
Although he was extremely frightened and wanted to continue listening, seeing that his grandfather and grandmother had no intention of stopping Yue Qianqiu, Yue Xiuyi could only agree dryly, and was dragged out very reluctantly.
As soon as he got out of the main room, he found that there was no one in front of the door, and the most powerful girls and servants beside his grandmother in the past were standing in the middle of the courtyard with their faces outward and inwards in rows, staring in all directions, clearly to prevent anyone from approaching.
As for whether there are more people guarding in places he can't see, he won't be able to see it for a while, but in his heart he very much agrees with such a posture that seems to be a big fuss.
Because the fourth uncle and grandmother in it turned out to be Princess Ping'an of Beiyan! If he remembered correctly when he read the information of Beiyan from his grandmother before, it is said that it has been almost two years since Princess Ping'an of Beiyan passed away, and her husband is Xiao Changjun, the king of Lanling County, who is now in the middle of the day in Beiyan! The fourth uncle actually went to Beiyan to be the king of the county, should he say that people are too bold, or too creative?
And Yue Qianqiu glanced at Yue Xiuyi's body, and then at the roof, and determined that it was impossible for him to carry people up to the roof to whisper, so he gave up this plan, and without mentioning the fatal inside affairs just discussed, he directly reached out and hooked up with Yue Xiuyi's shoulder, and the two of them touched their heads for a while.
"Chang'an, the two of us are about the same age, you are good at studying, Xiucai has already passed the exam, and then you have to learn from your grandfather and father, and you will be admitted all the way, but it is not me who pours cold water on you, the achievement of the ancestor and grandson Sanjinshi, many families, and scholars are very difficult to achieve, not to mention our Yue family."
"Our Yue family is my eldest uncle, that is, your grandfather is the most skilled in writing, and when my eldest brother, that is, your father, took the exam, he naturally went to the exam in a dignified manner, but when he was selected, someone used some means."
Yuexiu chuckled in her heart when she boarded. Of course, he, the son who admired his father, would not have known about this kind of thing before, but not long ago, the eldest lady mentioned it to him vaguely, and even told him that even his father himself didn't know, and the reason why he was selected was not for anything else, but because the emperor wanted to reward his grandfather for his many years of assistance, his hot charcoal-like imperial examination thoughts faded a lot.
He knows his father's knowledge, if even his father's gold list title is not so bright, can he really be admitted to the Jinshi? It doesn't matter if he is twenty or thirty, but can he take the exam until he is forty or fifty?
What's more, the eldest lady has almost exposed the unspoken rules of fraud and even fraud in some science fields, so he quickly calmed down after the initial shock.
"Uncle Nine, what do you want to say?"
"Chang'an, do you plan to come out and do things now? Well, not in the name of the official, but in the name of the eldest grandson of the Yue Mansion? ”
The moment he faced this question, the face of the eldest grandson of the Yue family suddenly froze.
