Chapter 13: An Unlikely Old Lady

After Leng Qinghuan had breakfast, she asked Lingqi'er to inform the housekeeper to prepare the car, and she was going to deliver medicine to the old lady.

The medicine was prepared in advance, tore off the outer packaging, wrapped it in a paper package, and looked around, and saw the food box that Lingqier had just bought, and all the messy medicines were packed inside, and it was used as a medicine box. After all, you can't always touch the medicine from your sleeve in front of everyone, and sooner or later arouse the suspicion of others, this is a disguise.

After getting ready, I went out of the house, looked left and right at the door, and did not see the carriage of the palace. Just as he was about to send a bag to ask the porter, a coachman wearing a felt hat came over with a whip: "Princess Niangniang, please." ”

"Where's the car?"

The coachman raised his hand and pointed: "It's ready." ”

Leng Qinghuan looked at it, and the whole person instantly felt bad, this is a good carriage? The one pulling the cart is clearly a slick black donkey. The car was still a battered cart covered with straw felt. Yesterday, I just said casually in anger, this man actually remembered it, waiting here to take revenge on himself, he was so boring, and his heart and eyes were as small as a needle's nose?

It doesn't matter, anyway, it's his Murong Qi's face that he loses, what do you care about?

Heel Doudou got into the donkey cart, sat cross-legged, the coachman flicked the horsewhip, the little donkey snorted loudly, and stumbled, and walked very happily, and when he saw his temper, he was very irritable, and he was a bad friend with that Murong Qi.

The characters entered one generation after another, and the mood suddenly brightened.

When she came to Anguo Mansion, the porter knew her, glanced at the donkey cart, invited her into the mansion in surprise, and went directly to the old lady's yard.

The old lady had already gone to the ground and was feeding the fish under the pomegranate tree in the yard, when she heard that Leng Qinghuan was coming, she turned around and lay down on a rattan chair on the side, covered with a blanket, closed her eyes, and looked listless.

Leng Qinghuan saw it really from afar, and he didn't poke it, so he went to the front and put the food box in his hand at his feet: "Say hello to my grandmother." ”

The old lady lazily lifted her eyelids, and her breath was weak: "I came so late, is it that my old woman is too eyeless and disturbs your little couple to lie in bed?" ”

Poof, why is this old lady a little bit unserious? Can you make fun of this?

The mother-in-law on the side was pursing her lips and laughing, Leng Qinghuan was not a thief, but was said to be a big red face, and opened the lid of the food box: "Grandmother said that she was laughing, Qinghuan was preparing pills for you, so it was delayed." ”

The old lady's face suddenly sank: "A box of medicine, you don't want to poison me, or you want to kill me!" ”

This old lady is a jacket, anyway, it's all Li'er, and she is not angry.

Leng Qinghuan took out the medicine: "There are not a few, but it is only a supply of four or five days." Take your medication on time and you'll get better quickly. ”

The old lady stared at her and snorted lightly: "You just hope that I will hurry up, so I don't have to trouble you, right?" ”

Leng Qinghuan was full of helplessness, sat on the embroidery pier handed over by her grandmother on the side, leaned in front of the old lady, lowered her eyes, and said softly: "I naturally hope that your grandmother will get better as soon as possible." Qinghuan is also grateful for your hard work, even if I reconcile with the prince, I can still come to see you often. ”

The old lady's eyes widened, full of fierceness: "Dare to mention the word peace and separation to me again, believe it or not, old woman, I will show you?" ”

"Qing Huan is really not suitable for the prince."

"Took the initiative to admit defeat to that second lady? Deserter, no avail! ”

Leng Qinghuan was stunned.

The old lady lay on her back on the rattan chair, closed her eyes, and was silent for a moment: "Girl, do you know why I and the Queen Mother didn't agree to Qi'er to withdraw from the marriage and marry another, and insisted on matching the two of you?" You must know that Qi'er has been fighting on the battlefield with his maternal grandfather, and his foundation is weak above the court, and Leng Qinglang has the support of the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Officials, who is in charge of the performance assessment and scheduling of hundreds of officials, which is more helpful to Qi'er. ”

This is also where Leng Qinghuan is puzzled, how can he be: "Why? ”

"Just because of conduct! Marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous woman, Qi'er is a little impetuous, and her mind is mellow, and she needs a smart and virtuous wife. ”

Leng Qinghuan didn't say anything. If it is about reputation, the Jin family is good at acting, and his reputation as a concubine of the prime minister's mansion is arrogant and domineering, and the notoriety of bullying his sister-in-law should have spread far and wide.

"When your father went to Beijing to take the exam, he was nominated for the gold list, and he was recruited by the Jin family as a fast son-in-law, and he has not been heard from for nearly ten years. Your mother served her in-laws, worked hard to raise you and your brother to adulthood, and taught you to read and learn, which is not something that ordinary women can do.

Later, she went to Beijing to look for relatives, and the Jin family learned that they would do whatever it took to drive your mother and daughter out of Beijing. When they learned about this, they had ulterior motives to provoke your mother to expose your father's abandonment of his wife and children in the court, and used them to humiliate my Chang'an.

I still remember that your mother knew the overall situation and understood the general situation at that time, and she took care of your father in full view of everyone, and also took care of my Chang'an's face.

The envoys have no plan, and they tempt you with jewels, gold, and silver. At that time, you were only eleven or twelve years old at most, right? was able to deal with changes without being surprised, and was very smart, and refuted the Nanzhao people speechless.

At that time, the Queen Mother decided at a glance that the children taught by such an excellent woman as your mother would definitely not be bad. And the Jin family, knowing that your father already has a wife, first snatched love with a knife, and then bullied others by unscrupulous means. Therefore, the Queen Mother made the decision for your mother, demoted the Jin family to a concubine forever, and also set up this family affair between you and the Qi King.

After your mother died, it was not easy for you and your brother to gain a foothold, how could you be arrogant and bully her? But Qi'er has been growing up in the barracks, with a mellow and simple temperament, and he can't understand many things, you have to give him time, and one day, he will see your goodness. ”

These old events were brought up again, and Leng Qinghuan's memories were a little blurred. The original owner's mother was born in a scholarly family, and her maternal ancestor was a very famous Confucian scholar, so she appreciated her father, who was from a humble background but full of wealth, and married her daughter to this ungrateful negative person.

Although the original owner and his elder brother grew up in the countryside, they were carefully taught by their grandfather and mother since childhood, and their knowledge and insight are beyond their peers. And the original owner was really not such a cowardly and timid character, after entering the Prime Minister's Mansion, he swallowed his anger and smoothed out the original edges and corners.

The old lady's words also made her heartwarming and sour, and finally someone could understand her difficult situation, just like the grievances in her heart suddenly found a breakthrough, and her eyes were a little moist. It's a pity that I'm afraid that I will live up to the expectations of the two old people.

How would they feel if they learned that they were no longer perfect? Didn't you slap them in the face?

She lowered her head and bit her lower lip like a wronged child. The voice that spoke was also sloppy, with a trill: "Qing Huan is afraid that she will live up to the love of the Queen Mother and the Imperial Grandmother." ”

The old lady snorted lightly, and her eyelids were not teased: "My mouth is dry when I say it, my wife is dry, and you are still indifferent, I really don't know what to do." If you leave, you can take it first, and wait until tomorrow when you return to the door, go back to your mother's house and walk around again, and then you decide. It sounds good to call and leave, what is not good is to give up, Dad doesn't love his mother, is there still a place for you in the Prime Minister's House? If you want to go back, how can it be so easy? ”

waved his hand at her impatiently, and directly ordered the eviction.

The old lady didn't mention it, but Leng Qinghuan almost forgot. This dynasty is different from the customs of ancient times, the three dynasties return to the door is three days after the bride's marriage, and tomorrow is the day of return.

If the news that he has lost his virginity really comes back to the Prime Minister's Mansion through Leng Qinglang, what awaits him tomorrow is not known what kind of storm it is. Kim must use the topic to play, and he doesn't know what to embarrass himself.

Not to mention that it was abandoned, and in order to protect the reputation of the Prime Minister, he left himself with only a pig cage.

Leng Qinghuan swallowed the words behind, got up and left, handed the old lady's medicine to the grandmother beside her, and told the dosage. Mama sent her out of the yard: "The old slave is talkative, the old lady has been fighting horses for half his life, and he has a straightforward temperament, but many words are golden and jade words." The princess should not gamble on the moment. ”

After Leng Qinghuan thanked him, he turned around and walked out of the Anguo Mansion.
