Chapter 10: Heirs
Princess Yong was a little embarrassed when she saw Tong Yan and Tong Hui looking at her, she smiled and told her a few more words, so that the two of them dispersed.
Tong Yan was surprised in her heart, it seems that the princess and her sister must have a good relationship, otherwise how could they be so out of shape.
Tonghui walked with her, and when she saw that her face was full of curiosity, she couldn't help but smile and said, "Sister, it's strange why the mother concubine is so excited?" ”
Tong Yan nodded hesitantly and said, "I think the relationship between the princess and her sister must be very good." ”
"Maybe." Tong Hui came over and naturally took Tong Yan's hand, and explained in a low voice: "The mother concubine's father is now in the court as Taichang Siqing, and he was born in Jinshi, and he can be regarded as a Qingliu faction, and his ancestors have no foundation in the court. He gave birth to two daughters and a son, both daughters married well, one married the princess as a princess, that is, our mother concubine, and the other married Jiangnan, which is the sister of the newborn son of the mother, but the one who married Jiangnan was the eldest son and grandson of the Gu family of the Jiangnan clan, Gu Zhe, who was also considered to be Gao Pan.
It's just that this aunt's son is difficult, and she gave birth to a daughter in the past three years after marrying, and her stomach has no movement. ”
Tonghui said with some embarrassment.
It's really not easy, Tong Yan also sighed, "Then if this aunt has no children all the time, does she have to take a concubine for Gu Zhe?" ”
Tonghui thought for a while and said: "The clan still pays attention to the birth of the heir, if there is no child, I can't tell whether it is a concubine or a step, if the concubine gives birth to a child, it is not good to keep the son to go to the mother!" ”
"Ahh Tong Yan was very surprised, leaving her son to her mother is inevitably too cruel.
"Even if the mother is kind enough to keep the concubine, the clan will not agree, after all, it is the future heir, but there is no possibility of instigating the heir to go the wrong way." Tonghui smiled again: "Let's really talk farther and farther, my aunt has given birth to a son safely, and these things naturally don't exist." ”
After that, she warmly took Tong Yan's hand and said: "If my sister is usually lonely, you can come to me to play, and if you have anything unclear, you can also come to me to ask, although we only met today, but in the end they are also sisters, this blood relationship is here, I am very kind when I see my sister in my heart." ”
Only then did Tong Yan realize that when she smiled, there were two pear vortices on her face, which was very cute.
After all, it was a newcomer, and Tong Yan didn't know what kind of temperament everyone in the palace was, but Tong Hui told her so much about the princess's family affairs, and she also felt that Tong Hui was close to her, and said with a shy smile: "Then thank you sister." ”
Tonghui said happily: "Then can my sister go to play with my sister usually?" You can also see it, Tongyue's character, I can't get along with her, and I don't have a sister to accompany her on weekdays, I see that my sister has a gentle temper, but she is very close to me. ”
Looking at her clear eyes, Tong Yan also smiled and nodded: "It's good, I'm a stranger to me when I first came, it's really good that my sister can accompany me to talk." ”
Tonghui smiled even more happily when she saw that she agreed.
Soon, the two arrived at the place where they were going to part ways.
"I want to wait for my father and brother to come back in the evening, we have to go to the front yard, can I go with you, I will come to you when the time comes." Tonghui grinned and took her hand.
Tong Yan smiled and nodded.
The two parted, Tonghui had to go north, and the courtyard where Tongyan lived was a few steps away.
When Tong Yan disappeared from Tong Hui's sight, the gentle smile on Tong Hui's delicate face disappeared all at once, and she walked quickly with a wooden face.
The close-fitting maid was not surprised, and followed her silently, not daring to say anything.
Tonghui's yard is smaller than Tongyan and Tongyue's.
As soon as he entered the courtyard gate, the nurse Zhang greeted her with a smile, "The county lord is back." ”
Tonghui ignored her, ran straight into the bedroom, closed the door, and didn't let anyone in.
She leaned against the door, biting her lip, her eyes reddened, and tears fell like broken beads.
The nurse stood outside the door frowning, looking at the two maids standing at the door of the bedroom with their heads down, and asked in a low voice: "What's the matter, aren't you happy to go out in the morning, is the princess angry with the county lord?" ”
The little maid also felt uncomfortable for her own county lord, she pouted and beckoned the nurse to put her ears together, and quietly recounted everything that happened in the morning.
"This little hoof!" Zhang gritted his teeth and whispered hatefully, looked at no one in the courtyard, and continued: "The upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, I don't believe it, if it weren't for the instigation of my mother, the teenage little doll could say such things out of thin air!" ”
Tonghui leaned against the door and heard it, crying even more, squatting directly on the ground, burying her head and sobbing quietly.
Zhang heard the sobbing sound of his own county lord, and patted his head in annoyance, "It's all to blame for the old slave's mouth, the county lord doesn't want to cry and break his eyes, it's not worth it for these people!" ”
Tonghui is sad, how can she stop for a while.
Zhang listened to Tonghui's suppressed cry, and couldn't help but feel sad, this county lord is past the age of Jilu, and the princess doesn't say that he looks at people for the county lord, and the prince hates Mrs. to death because of his wife, and the county lord is unlucky, and he is born in the belly of his wife, and the prince is lukewarm to the county lord. In a few years, the county lord will be even older, and his father doesn't love his mother, so where can he find a good family!
If it weren't for the fact that the young lady had to come to be a concubine for King Yong, how could she end up like this, and how could her own county lord have to please an unidentified wild girl! And you want to be called a sister! It's really embarrassing!
Thinking about it, Zhang also wiped away tears.
When the two maids saw Zhang's crying, they wiped Zhang's tears in a panic, "Mom, don't cry, you have to cry again, and the maids will inevitably shed tears." ”
Speaking of it, it is also a creation to make people, although Tonghui is the lord of the county, but it is similar to the concubine of ordinary people, like duckweed mustard.
And such a helpless concubine is very prominent, regardless of his father or mother.
Tonghui's family, the Wang family, is the number one noble family in Beijing.
Mrs. Wang's mother-in-law, Liu, is now the aunt of the virtuous concubine, Mrs. Wang's sister-in-law is the current Zhuang Concubine Niangniang, and Mrs. Wang's father, Wang Yuanzhi, is even more high-powered.
It's a pity that in such a prominent family, there is a noble lady like Mrs. Wang who can't support the wall.
Back then, King Yong, who should have fallen in love with a wife, cried and shouted that he wanted to marry into the palace, and he was willing to be a concubine.
almost didn't make Wang Yuanzhi angry to death, but the poor Wang Shangshu was ruined by the eldest daughter of this in-law, and he would rather cut the father-daughter relationship with him than follow King Yong.
