Chapter 156: Shangsi
Tong Yan looked idle and put the book on her face.
Speaking of which, by the middle of March, Mingyi is going to get married, and tomorrow is probably the last time she will go out for a girl.
Originally, Mrs. Linjianghou didn't allow her to go out, but seeing that the wedding was coming, she and Shuning both handed over the post to Mingyi, and Mrs. Linjianghou was relieved.
I didn't expect Mingyi to be the first to marry, it's really a trick.
Tong Yan quietly raised the corners of her lips.
Different from Zhaoyang Yuan's full of comfort, the people in Li Tonghui's courtyard are simply trembling, walking on thin ice, especially the magpie and Xi'er who serve closely, although the county lord does not beat and scold them, but they have a gloomy face every day, and anyone who sees it is afraid.
Mrs. Wang agreed to Tonghui before, worrying about her marriage, and in the past few months, she has also found a few men of good age for Tonghui, but they are all mediocre people, but they have just been graced and done some idle jobs, and their appearance is not very good, but they can be called Zhou Zheng.
Tonghui naturally didn't even look at it.
Although the nurse Zhang didn't dare to speak out, she also muttered silently in her heart, although these children of the family are not very outstanding, but they are not idle children, and even a few are still the eldest sons of the family, married and stayed for a few years, that is the head of the house, and the county lord inevitably has too high a vision.
In fact, Mrs. Wang is not unwilling to choose some better men for her, but it is too difficult to find men who are of the same age and both civil and military, and who are also dignified and have the same door.
Besides, although Tonghui is the county lord, she is a concubine, and her biological mother is a madman.
is the so-called marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous person, it is not King Yong or the princess who comes forward, like Mrs. Linjianghou, as soon as she heard that Mrs. Wang had this meaning, she immediately politely refused.
Tonghui doesn't take these things to heart now, she is very irritable now, Xu is thinking about it day and night, and for several days, she has dreamed of Cheng Shizi.
Every night, Cheng Shizi smiled at her, looking at her with deep and bright eyes, seeing that she was so excited that she couldn't help herself.
But when she opens her eyes every morning and wakes up, she will remember that Cheng Shizi has a marriage contract, and that woman is still her sister Tongyan.
The pleasure of the whole night fell to the bottom all at once, and the faint stinging pain in her heart made her breathless.
She now kind of understands why her mother had to marry Daddy at that time.
Tonghui suddenly grabbed Zhang's hand and stared at her with wide eyes, startling Zhang.
"What's wrong, county lord?" Zhang looked at Tonghui with a stunned look and muttered.
The corners of Tonghui's mouth twitched a few times, but her face turned red, and she didn't know what to say.
Zhang looked at her like this, how could he not know what she was thinking, his brows frowned at the moment, and he said in a tough tone: "The county lord listens to the old slave's advice, this woman should not be obsessed with a man's appearance, it is useless, choose a man who is right, responsible, and can protect you and respect you for a lifetime, it is right." ”
"What the nurse said is right, but the son of Yemen is responsible, another talent, both civil and military......"
"But the family already has a marriage contract with the county lord of Zhaoyang." Zhang clapped his hands with hatred of iron and steel.
"But they're not married yet." Tonghui looked at her directly and spit out these words lightly.
Zhang's gall was almost frightened, and he lowered his voice and said hurriedly: "What do you want?!" ”
She suddenly thought about Wang Youyu again, if there is a mother, there must be a daughter, and the county lord will not follow her mother's old path!
is a good girl, but since she was a child, she has to be more sensible and sensible, how did she become like this all of a sudden, Zhang can't figure it out.
Tong Hui lowered her eyes and smiled faintly, "If something happens to Tong Yan, or if the prince has something with me, then won't this marriage contract be null and void?" ”
"County Lord!" Zhang exclaimed and knelt down in surprise, pulling Tonghui's arm, "You are sober!" That's your sister, and if the matter is revealed, the prince will kill you! ”
Tonghui sneered, yes, since she was a child, the prince has never treated her as a daughter, even if her mother is crazy, he has never cared about her for a day, where is there such a father, I am afraid that a distant relative will be a few points better than him.
Looking at her ruthless face, there was still a little bit of usual gentleness and suppleness, Zhang's head was buzzing, and he said straight in his heart: It's bad, it's bad, the county lord is afraid that the devil is stunned! Even blood relatives can't tie her up!
"Needless to say, I have made up my mind, if I can't marry Cheng Huai, I can't sleep day and night, does the nurse want to see me lose weight day by day?" She looked at Zhang's fixedly, and saw that Zhang's heart was furious.
What the hell can stop the county lord!
Zhang's mind flashed, and before he had time to think about it, he blurted out all the things Wang Youyu had done.
But what she didn't expect was that the county lord was just slightly stunned and actually laughed.
"It's providential." Tonghui clapped her hands and leaned back with laughter, her eyes gradually becoming ruthless, "Since Mrs. Rou lost to my mother, then Tong Yan will inevitably lose to me, speaking of which, Tong Yan should not come back, if she doesn't come back, none of this will happen, the person who has a marriage contract with Cheng Huai must be me, how can there be so many twists and turns?" ”
Is this still the gentle and kind Tonghui she knows? I didn't feel guilty at all, I didn't expect to be a little more ruthless than Miss! Zhang was shocked, and his heart gradually became cold.
What's more, it's a self-digging grave!
But Tonghui has made up her mind, and she can't be ignored, just waiting for a suitable time, and everything will go well.
This is the first Shangsi Festival that Tong Yan has had since she came to Beijing, and after breakfast, Qingzhi and her sisters prepared hot water and waited for her to bathe.
A layer of bluegrass floated in the barrel, and the whole room was filled with a faint aroma.
Tong Yan leaned on the edge of the barrel very happily, and Ren Tongyan and Ji Yue helped her rub her body.
Today, not only her, but also other women, need to be bathed in bluegrass so that they can pray for a year without disaster or disease.
Tong Yan made an appointment with them in the middle pavilion of Wufu Mountain on the outskirts of Beijing.
When Tong Yan arrived, Mingyi was already sitting there, not only stood beside her, but also brought two guards from the Hou Mansion, the girl in blue was delicate and lovely, leaning on the vermilion pillar, looking at the scenery, like a very beautiful picture.
The maid next to her saw Tong Yan and whispered back to her own miss.
Mingyi turned his head and looked on the road, saw Tong Yan, was overjoyed, stood up and waved at Tong Yan.
Tong Yan lifted her skirt with a smile and walked over quickly.
After a while, Shuning also arrived, followed by seven or eight people waiting and guards in the palace.
The three of them laughed and laughed, so lively.
"Eh, princess, you see there's a man over there." The palace maid beside Shuning, Lang Yue, looked at the bottom of the mountain and shouted in surprise.
Shuning and Tong Yan looked at each other and smiled when they heard this.
Mingyi curiously followed the point of the moon, looked down the mountain, and asked repeatedly: "Where, where?" Why is there still a man coming, why didn't I see it? ”
