As the saying goes, "The big petite, the small habit, the middle is the most easy to feel cold." "Parents probably can't make a bowl of water, just like Concubine Wu, knowing that the younger son was guilty of Emperor Taizong, and having to force the eldest son to ask for forgiveness, and now the king of Zhongsui County has returned to Beijing, and he feels sorry for him that he has no errand for Juelu, so he still forced Prince Zhongyong to think about it, Prince Zhongyong has his own concerns, coaxing the old lady and saying:" Although the twelve resisted the decree, the first one to be guilty was Princess Chaoyun, in case we got the fire, Princess Chaoyun is not a person with a good temperament, and she rolled around with the emperor to make trouble, and she was not afraid to be angry with the old twelve. Now it's easy to get him back after three or four years of cold, and he can't fall short in such a vacancy. ”

Compared with the two sons, the eldest son is more reliable, and the mother naturally relies on it: "Then what about your idea?"

King Zhongyong said clearly: "The emperor has leaked his mouth, and he wants to canonize the emperor's grandson after Zhengdan, then the princes will push the kings, and they will not skip the old twelve, we can't expect Princess Chaoyun to nod, but if she shakes her head, the emperor is afraid that he can't ignore it, and now there are a few months of work, the son is here to ask King Kang for personal favors, and the mother concubine urges the old twelve to be patient and not to make mistakes, and then send his son and daughter-in-law and the twelve daughters-in-law to walk around the Earl's Mansion every three or five times, and work hard three times, I am afraid that she will not be embarrassed to pull down her face to catch the old mistakes!" ”

Concubine Wu thought about it for a while, felt that it was Lao Cheng's way to be serious, nodded and said: "I'll mention him there, and if I want to mess around again, Bento has never given birth to this son!"

King Zhongyong wiped a handful of sweat: "I have suffered for many years, and now I should have grown." ”

With this episode in it, Concubine Wu was extremely enthusiastic about Qin Siyue (Long Xi), and praised Mei Jun to Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Zhang.

The Huang family thought about the account of the granddaughter, and Concubine Wu also hit the Gu family with the idea, the eldest son of the prince of Zhongsui County has reached the age of discussing relatives, Mei Jun is a concubine, but where is her life experience, with a concubine of the convicted clan is rich and rich, if the two families get married, wouldn't it be a war into a jade silk? Princess Chaoyun is not only not embarrassed by her son, but has to support her in-laws for her sister-in-law's future.

This idea was born, the more I thought about it, the more appropriate it became, and as soon as the banquet began, Concubine Wu asked Mei Jun very frankly about her life.

Gu Lao Taijun didn't think much about it when she heard the inquiry, because she replied: "There are a lot of official media who come to the door, the eldest daughter-in-law and the princess have a high vision, and I am also picky for fear of the child's grievances, just in response to the old saying of 'think twice and don't care', six or seven out of ten asked them to sift through, and the remaining three or four can't pass my eyes, fortunately, the child is small, and I am not afraid of being delayed by our mothers." ”

Qin Siyue (Long Xi) must find an uncle who is clean and self-loving, Mrs. Zhang is from a scholarly family, and her son-in-law must be a scholar with meritorious reputation; Gu Lao Taijun is a noble daughter, and she looks down on people with a thin foundation, so where can there be a talent like Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) to choose from? No result is inevitable.

Concubine Wu smiled even more: "It is related to the child's life, and it should be doubly careful." ”

Mrs. Gu had a little aftertaste: "I am now in the sky, and I have the fatigue of youth, after all, after all, I am separated by a generation, let my parents and sisters-in-law decide!"

Concubine Wu took this matter to heart, thinking about finding an opportunity to explore Qin Siyue (Long Xi)'s tone.

When it comes to origin, Concubine Wu is counted down in the harem of the first emperor, earlier but as a female official in the palace was favored by Taizong, and successively rose from the nobles step by step to the respect of the imperial concubine, she is better than the Ming Guo concubines will be a person, has always been respectful and polite in front of the queen, there is no praise from the top and bottom of the six palaces, in the early years, Qin Siyue (Long Xi) saw that Concubine Wu was favored, and suspected that she had the life of Lao Feng Nirvana, and privately wrote poems in the imperial study's "Book of the Later Tang Dynasty, Volume 52, Column Biography II": "Today you are the master, the Ming Dynasty has shifted the two translations, and the Yuan Chen position is in vain, how can it be like the old palace maid!" Emperor Taizong watched without saying a word, and after that, he did not praise the sage of Concubine Wu in front of others.

Even so, Concubine Wu's decency in front of the Empress Dowager was ten times better than that of Zhen and Ming, and she entered the palace the next day to thank her, and when she mentioned her young son, she said that she wanted to marry and feud with the Shenlong General's Mansion.

The empress dowager followed the pace of the emperor's son, since the king of Zhongsui County was pardoned and returned to Beijing, she had the intention of appointing, and she didn't want Qin Siyue (Long Xi) to give birth to a mustard for this, so she vaguely agreed: "I'll ask and talk." ”

This is the cleverness of Concubine Wu, according to the etiquette, the queen mother is a serious grandmother, she wants to be in the middle to say that she is justified.

Qin Siyue (Long Xi) shook her head without thinking about it: "This can't be done, the king of loyalty has a son with me, in case he asks his wife and children to be angry with my sister-in-law, won't it become my sin?"

"You've been thinking too much. The queen mother wants to speak for her grandson, "How can it be a woman's heart?"

"No way, no yes or no, it's not a matter of words. "Qin Siyue (Long Xi) can't be sloppy on this," I'm going to choose someone else, it's forgivable to be deceived and confused, knowing that there is a festival between the two but nodding and agreeing, this has to be in case, I will find tofu that can kill people too late. ”

The queen mother was reluctant: "I'm afraid that you shouldn't, so I didn't boast in front of Concubine Wu." ”

"Old lady, you're afraid to think too much. Qin Siyue (Long Xi) smiled slightly, "Let's watch, if the loyal king happily agrees to this family business, then he has other plans, I should no one should answer him; ”

The Empress Dowager realized: "You mean to eat the three pillars steadily." ”

The sons have reached the age of marrying a daughter-in-law, and it is unrealistic to jump on his feet, so King Zhongxue glared: "How can the son of the master marry the daughter of the Gu family?"

Princess Yan was not afraid of him at all: "Even if you want to marry, people may not be willing to marry!"

Loyal to the king.

Princess Yan sighed: "Master, I don't know who you show to Princess Chaoyun when you hold a grudge, you were in front of Emperor Taizong when he was assassinated on his southern tour, I didn't see the situation at that time, could it be that you were originally going to block Taizong, but Princess Chaoyun took the lead, so you gave birth to Mustard?"

"You-" If you really want to be like what Princess Yan said, why can't their brothers hold a woman's family.

Princess Yan has two biological sons, and she wants to think about them, but seeing that her husband is stubborn and unwilling to reconcile with the Gu family, she simply poked him in the heart: "Master, what you did that day was that you were not subject to the jurisdiction of women, and in a big way, you did not accept the holy will of Emperor Taizong and the emperor, and now you are unwilling to return the dust of the past to the earth, is it because of the old grudge that Princess Chaoyun was temperate and did not win the military power?"

It is more appropriate to replace the military power with the "throne", and Princess Yan's meaning is very clear: not reconciling with Princess Chaoyun is equivalent to admitting that you still have different intentions, and you can do it yourself.

King Zhongsui lowered his head: "You and your mother will watch it." ”

Princess Yan smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid I won't be able to climb high!"

The fallen phoenix is not as good as a chicken, and the king of loyalty is conceited, and he also knows that today's Shenlong General's Mansion is not easy to climb, and when he heard his wife's words, he turned his head and said nothing.

If it is an ordinary declining clan, Mei Jun's marriage to be a wife is not a humiliating identity, but the king of Zhongxian County was convicted of the emperors of the two dynasties, and the introduction is still on Qin Siyue (Long Xi), so Mrs. Zhang has to weigh it carefully: "I'm afraid it doesn't match!"

Qin Siyue (Long Xi) decisively: "I have returned to the Queen Mother, tell my wife in vain, in case there are any more lobbyists, you will not be caught off guard." ”

Mrs. Zhang expressed her concerns: "No matter how expensive our family is, it is also a courtier, and the loyal king is a white body, in the end, it is a noble man, since ancient times, there is a reason for the Jun family to choose courtiers, how can there be a courtier who dislikes the royal family?"

Qin Siyue (Long Xi)'s heart is not on this: "Drag it out first, and wait for the New Year." ”

Another pair of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are also discussing the family affairs of the "Phoenix Egg", Gu Lao Taijun won Zhiqing earlier, but unfortunately Lin Hai and his wife are not very enthusiastic, the Xu family has a Xinglan, but she is an orphan girl, what happened before, Gu Lao Taijun and Huang said that it was pure self-deception if they were not young and that their marriage was on the agenda.

Last year, Gu Lao Taijun specified that he would not be conceited that he would not have the life of a county horse (otherwise he would not be able to put his eyes on Lin Zhiqing's level), but now it is different: he has more identity as the emperor's grandson's uncle, and it is unrealistic to match the princess, and there is still room for operation if he wants to find a county lord.

"The prince of Zhongyong is very much used by His Majesty, and the princess only has a pair of sons and daughters of the prince and the county lord, if it is agreed, it will be a good thing for Bufan and Danqi. The uncle of the emperor and the brother-in-law of the prince's son, the more Huang thought about it, the more he flattered, "If we don't have a relationship, we might as well contribute, and we may not be able to do it!"

Old Taijun Gu was very moved: "Don't be in a hurry, wait for another opportunity, let Bufan show his face, as long as the concubine takes a fancy to it, this matter will be half of it." ”

Huang smiled and said, "It's up to the old lady to decide." ”

Old Mrs. Gu also smiled: "I don't plan for him, who do you expect!"

Huang hesitated for a moment and said, "There is another sentence, I have to ask the old lady for what it means." ”

"Huh?" asked Old Lady Gu, "What words?"

"Bufan's evil obstacle is already twelve, according to the rules of our family's early years, four maids should be arranged to serve around him, for his body, he should have pressed it, but now he has moved far away, and there is no one who knows the cold and the heat to serve or can't let go, so he simply crossed the bright road and put a proper person in the house, so as to avoid the joke that public salt becomes private salt, I don't know what the old lady means?"

Mrs. Gu moved: "Which one do you like?"

Huang immediately asked, "What does the old lady think of Twilight?"

After a little muttering, Old Taijun Gu said: "When it comes to appearance, morning dew is better. ”

"Old lady, the daughter-in-law's shallow view still needs to be an honest maid who knows the general situation to be able to control the unruly. The morning dew is not bad, but the daughter-in-law feels a little smarter, afraid that she will indulge in nonsense. Huang Shi slowly concluded, "It's always the old lady who teaches her, and it won't be bad, so it's okay to accept her." ”

"You're thoughtful. Old Mrs. Gu called Chunhua in, "Go to the eldest lady and pass on my words, in the future, Duxue's share of profits will be the same as that of my aunts, and then cut a penny from my monthly money to make up for her, which can be regarded as a reward for her taking care of her." ”

Huang hurriedly said: "If you can let the old lady break the bank, just reduce her daughter-in-law's monthly money to her." ”

Old Mrs. Gu waved her hand: "No need! ”

Gu Ming and Gu Ying are all practicing their skills, this one struggles to turn over and learn to climb, the other holds the fat foot and stuffs it into her mouth, Mrs. Zhang is not happy, watch this for a while, tease that for a while, laughter keeps coming out of the main room, Chunhua asked the big girl on the scale: "Why is Mrs. so happy?"

Si Liang smiled: "The two little boys are inside, and the wife has been happy for a long time." ”

Chunhua understood: "Quickly help me report." ”

Mrs. Zhang listened to Gu Laotaijun's words and bowed slightly: "It's better to be sparse than blocked, it's also a method." ”

Chunhua bowed and smiled: "That's what the old lady meant." ”

Mrs. Zhang asked, "Now there are a few people waiting in front of Bufan. ”

"Plus Twilight Snow is six. Chunhua said while thinking, "The other five are Morning Dew, Yunxiang, Jiahui, Shen'er, and Liang'er." ”

Mrs. Zhang asked casually, "How many months are they?"

Chunhua remembered and understood: "Duxue is in the name of the old lady, and there is a monthly example of one or two silver, morning dew and Yunxiang are the big girls, the monthly money is one hanging, and the other four are five hundred wen." ”

Mrs. Zhang nodded, and ordered the maid to make light tea: " Earlier, Changbai changed the rules of the school, and the girls' gouache and rouge procurement was not satisfactory, so you passed my words to the account room, and since the next month, the fat powder procurement in the girl's house has been abolished, and the old lady and the princess have added ten taels of silver to the monthly case, and I and the old man and the second master and the second wife and the daughter-in-law are still the same, Changbai and Lian'er are set to ten taels, and the brothers and sisters who are not married are five taels, and the aunts of the previous generation are counted as three taels and one hanging money, and the younger generation has received the house, and the two taels are hung with money, and the monthly money of the twilight snow does not have to move the old lady's share of the profits。 ”

Asa agreed and went.

Chunhua said in his heart: Although it is a monthly increase, it is clear that he wants to use this to press half of the master.

The news spread, and those who were not short of money didn't feel anything, like Aunt Mu, who rarely had extra money, were all happy, and privately recited Buddha to Gu Bu: "It's still the eldest lady who is charitable, and knows our difficulties, earlier you were tired of not being able to bear the pen, ink and silver, and the wife will take the monthly money to make up for it, and our mother and son will have twice the amount of money, and we will be able to be much more generous in the future!"

Gu Buyi echoed: "Auntie can also do less needlework, so as not to tire her eyes." ”

Aunt Mu said with a smile: "As long as you study and earn a jinshi like the eldest son, it will be worth it for your mother to work hard." ”

Earlier, Qin Siyue (Long Xi) was angry and cut more than half of the share of the second room, until Mei Jun was in charge of the house, and asked for a favor to restore the old practice, this time Mrs. Zhang was in charge, even if the Huang family felt that the big house was taking advantage of it, they didn't dare to talk about it, so they also got the benefits.

At the Mid-Autumn Palace banquet, Princess Zhongyong led her younger brothers and sisters to mention the words of marriage, but the object of this marriage was replaced by Jin Ming, the eldest son of the king of Zhongxi, Qin Siyue (Long Xi) shook her head again and again: "My sister-in-law is a concubine, and she is really not a good match!"

Princess Zhongyong said: "High married women and low married women, next to the royal gate is the prince's mansion, we all know the upbringing of the house, although the eldest girl is sideways, Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Ronghou have not lacked education, earlier she studied with Princess Weicheng, and her bearing is not inferior to the lord of the palace. ”

Princess Zhongsui echoed: "What my sister-in-law said is very true, according to the order, our concubine and the prince originally wanted to set it for Kun'er first, I think it is inappropriate, the second lady in the house is set to the seventh prince, the eldest lady is better to find a lower-level uncle to be considered appropriate, from Emperor Taizong, Kun'er is a third-class concubine grandson who is lower than the prince, how much has wronged the eldest girl, Ming'er's age is more appropriate, and I have today's selfishness." ”

These words are obviously full of loopholes, Qin Siyue (Long Xi) is not good at prevaricating too much, and after thinking about it, he said: "There is no reason for the ministers and the clan to discuss the family, so let's do it, if you don't change your mind in the first month of next year, how about we think about it in the long run?"

Princess Zhongxue thought to herself: She must be worried that we are now sick and rushed to the hospital, and after a year, we will have a knighthood errand and repent. Let's drag it out for a few months, see that our original intention does not change and we are willing to discuss it again, and it is also for the future of my sister-in-law, which can be regarded as well-intentioned!

Thinking of this, Princess Zhongxue responded very happily: "At that time, His Royal Highness will also ask His Royal Highness to match with Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Ronghou." ”

Qin Siyue (Long Xi) nodded: "It's easy to say!"

When Mrs. Zhang heard that the son-in-law candidate was replaced by the son-in-law of the loyal king, she couldn't help but hesitate: "If this is not allowed, does it seem that we don't look down on the royal family?"

Qin Siyue (Long Xi) also had this concern: "I believe in his sincerity, but it is not good to respond casually, isn't the loyal king thinking about the errand of the title? ”

Mrs. Zhang said: "You look at it, the old man and the old lady have me informed." ”

Qin Siyue (Long Xi) bowed slightly: "Speaking of which, I may not have seen Jin Ming's face for a long time, so I'll take a look at it later." ”

Mrs. Zhang sighed: "It's really time to get married, starting from Sister Mei, all the way to Brother Ming and Brother Ying, they are lined up, and they will not be idle every year in the future." ”

Qin Siyue (Long Xi) was stunned: "What Mrs. said is true." ”

"You don't know yet?" Mrs. Zhang suppressed her voice, "Xiao Shihou's family gave a festival gift, and the old lady vaguely reminded her to propose marriage to Lan Yatou, I don't think the old lady is eager." ”

"Huh?" Qin Siyue (Long Xi) was quite curious, "It is said that I can't think of Sister Lin's account, the first one that catches my eye should be Miss Shi, could it be that Aunt Lin is relieved? Or is the old lady willing to accommodate the Mu family?"

Mrs. Zhang is not stupid, as soon as she opened her mouth, she guessed eight or nine: "According to my shallow opinion, the old lady and the east must be the master of a higher family." ”
