Chapter 68: The Wang Family
"County Lord, I heard that the prince over there is a Mr. Gong banquet, it seems that he is an archery gentleman invited to the county lord of Zhaoyang." Magpie looked cautiously at the face of her sovereign.
Tonghui nodded, unable to see joy or anger.
She put down her chopsticks and scooped a spoonful of soup, but she didn't know the taste of food in her mouth, and she was slightly bitter.
With a "bang", she put the bowl on the table, wiped the corners of her mouth with a frown, and said in disgust: "What kind of soup is this, why is it so unpalatable, and now the kitchen people dare to step on my head and fool me?" ”
Seeing that the county lord didn't say anything, Que'er thought it was okay, but suddenly made a cold bowl, which startled her.
She trembled and tentatively reached out to get the bowl of soup, peeked at the county lord, and saw that the county lord did not object, so she took it up and tasted it with confidence.
This fish soup is delicious, very delicious.
She glanced at the county lord again, and whispered: "Then the maid will go to the kitchen to change you with osmanthus sour plum soup, it's sweet and sour, and it will be clearer." ”
"No need, no appetite." Tonghui pushed the dishes and chopsticks impatiently, stood up and went to the yard.
Que'er hurriedly put down the soup, followed, and persuaded in a low voice: "Why bother with the county lord, it is still your own body that hurts." ”
Tong Hui laughed angrily, "What, I'm still not good when I'm full?" ”
"The servant doesn't dare." Magpie snorted and hung her head.
Tonghui sneered, "There is a post on my bookcase, you take it to the palace and hand it to Wang Lan." ”
Magpie didn't dare to delay, bowed her head and hurriedly left.
Since the county lord of Zhaoyang came, his own county lord has begun to have a bad temper, and he has become more and more moody in the past few days, and the previous empathetic county lord is like two people. Magpie sighed and shook her head.
Tonghui stood in the courtyard for a moment, she broke a peony flower that bloomed just right, and forcefully pulled off the petals of the flower one by one, and threw it on the clean and tidy stone floor.
She couldn't restrain the irritability in her heart, she wanted to be sisters with Tong Yan, but whenever she heard what Tong Yan had, and she didn't, it was unspeakable pain in her heart.
Tongyue, she can not care, because Princess Yong is Tongyue's mother, but why is Tongyan? Is it just because you were born beautiful? Why can Tong Yan be recorded as a concubine under the name of Princess Yong, she can get the unreserved favor of her father, and even the favor of the queen mother, and she can also have good friends like the fourth princess, Miss Xu, and Miss Zhou.
And what about her? is also the daughter of King Yong, why has she been subjected to such cold eyes since she was a child, and no one even cares about marriage.
Tonghui's eyes filled with tears, and she closed her eyes in pain.
Wang Lan held the post in her hand, and the corners of her mouth smiled, unexpectedly, she knew that Qingping must have asked for something when he suddenly approached her.
Didn't Qingping just want to go to Chongguo Temple to ask for a marriage, and he couldn't go far without his elders to follow, so he wanted to beg her aunt to go with him.
Wang Lan knew very well in his heart that Qingping's father did not love his mother, although he had the title of county lord, but even marriage was a problem, this move was just to test their Wang family's attitude and see if they could worry about her marriage.
Although her grandfather didn't let Qingping's aunt be mentioned, Qingping was also her cousin no matter what, and the bloodline was constantly parted, and outsiders mentioned it, and they all knew that the Wang family was Qingping's foreign family.
Why bother to cover your ears and steal the bell, isn't it just that the eldest aunt is crazy, and she didn't get it from the Wang family, and it is also the king's business to be criticized.
She took the maid and went to the courtyard of her mother, Mrs. Wang.
After listening to her words, Mrs. Wang did not immediately agree, but fell into deep thought.
It's not up to her to say anything about this, but to ask her husband and father-in-law what they mean.
This sister-in-law has always been a forbidden area in the family, and it is not allowed to mention it, and the county lord of Qingping has rarely shown up for so many years, and the entire Wang family has not paid attention to this niece.
"Auntie, Qingping and we are cousins after all, you gave birth to my brother and me, Daddy is an only son, the family is cold, if you don't have more envelopment, there will not even be a few relatives to help in the future, if Qingping and I get closer, Qingping inherited the kindness of our family, married better, and we are not harmful." Wang Lan fell on Mrs. Wang's lap, although she was coquettish, she was reasonable.
Mrs. Wang was also a little moved when she heard it, the Wang family's incense is not prosperous, and her son and daughter are all seedlings, which has always been a thorn in her heart.
She caressed Wang Lan's hair lovingly, and said loosely: "Wait for me to ask your father at night, if your father agrees, I will take you to Chongguo Temple in four days, okay?" ”
Wang Lan smiled and nodded: "Okay, I know that A-Niang is the best." ”
Wang Yihai didn't return to the mansion until dark, Mrs. Wang was used to it, and the Criminal Department had always been very busy.
She waited for Wang Yihai to change clothes and eat.
I didn't mention it to him until he blew out the lamp.
After hearing this, Wang Yihai sighed, "What a sin!" ”
Mrs. Wang didn't know why, and then saw her husband nodding and muttered: "It's also my negligence, I forgot that I still have a niece, so let's go, after you come back from the temple, you think about whether there is a suitable son in the capital, choose a few to talk to me, let's get an idea together, and then I will mention it to King Yong." “
The more he talked, the more reluctant he felt, whether King Yong was willing to take care of him or not was one thing, Qingping was still King Yong's biological daughter after all, no matter what happened, he couldn't ignore her.
But Qingping is also his niece, in case King Yong doesn't care, he can't just leave it alone.
He scratched the top of his head irritably, "That's it for now, and then talk to me when you've chosen." ”
Mrs. Wang smiled and nodded, and gently soothed him: "You don't have to work too hard, let's just help with this matter, after all, Qingping has never been to the door, and we have never asked about it as uncles and aunts, and it is not possible to say whether this matter is successful or not, and we can't refuse it directly, what do you say?" ”
"Yes, Madame is right." Wang Yihai's frowning brows relaxed, and he smiled and held the soft hair that Mrs. Wang gave him on the shoulder.
"Sir." Madame Wang bowed her head slightly shyly and timidly, and glanced at him with wavy eyes.
The eyes seemed to be hooked enough, and he wanted to refuse and welcome, with a faint crimson floating on his cheeks, and red lips pouting slightly.
Wang Yihai's heart moved, that worry had long disappeared, his eyes were bright, his lips were hooked and he smiled, and kissed Mrs. Wang's red lips.
For so many years, Wang Yihai has doted on Mrs. Wang and never accepted concubines, a large part of the reason is because Mrs. Wang will always be as shy as a virgin when they first got married, gentle and considerate, and as they grow older, they have more coquettish women, and they are always welcoming and taking the initiative to make him physically and mentally happy.
The husband and wife, like glue, were turned over by the red waves, and they had to make trouble for half the night.
