Chapter 136: There are no doors
Jiang Ziyan has grown so big, this is the second time he has been to his grandfather's house. Even when her mother Ye Yuyao was still alive, because everyone in the Guogong Mansion was outside the Saiwai, she did not bring Jiang Ziyan back to the Ye Mansion.
Now Jiang Ziyan has been here twice, and I am afraid that the original owner will not come to Ye Mansion often if he is alive.
There are more boys than girls in Ye Laoguo's mansion, since Ye Laoguo's grandfather's generation, there have never been girls, and when he came to Ye Laoguogong's place, he gave birth to Ye Yuyao's daughter, what a baby, but he died early.
The three ladies of Yefu gave birth to a boy and never came out again. In other families, even if it is an ordinary big family, they will accept concubines and spread their branches, but there is one of the ancestral teachings of Yefu that concubines are not allowed.
Jiang Ziyan became the only treasure of the Ye family, and everyone in the Ye Mansion transferred all their love for Ye Yuyao to Jiang Ziyan.
Jiang Ziyan met her grandfather and grandmother, and naturally she was affectionate, and she met Wang Yingying here.
Wang Yingying and her eldest cousin had a wedding held a year later, and at that time, Jiang Ziyan was burning the royal court in southern Xinjiang, and it was a pity that she didn't see her eldest cousin Xiao Dengke.
The eldest cousin is in the barracks outside the city, and he usually does not go home. After lunch, Wang Yingying took Jiang Ziyan's hand and went to her courtyard to whisper.
Mrs. Ye saw that the two girls could talk, and she was also happy in her heart, so she let them make trouble.
Jiang Ziyan allowed Ye Yu and Ye Cicada to be free, and let them play with their acquaintances and friends.
When I arrived at Wang Yingying's yard, there was a girl who served tea, and Wang Yingying sent people back, only herself and Jiang Ziyan were in the house.
Seeing Wang Yingying's solemn look, and not knowing what to say, Jiang Ziyan sat there drinking tea and waited patiently.
"Yan'er," after passing the door, it was Jiang Ziyan's cousin-in-law, Wang Yingying called Jiang Ziyan's nickname, "You are not in the capital these days, I heard that someone wants to stuff people into the palace of the king of Chu, you have to be prepared." ”
This is really troublesome, just returned to the capital, and encountered such a thing.
Seeing that Jiang Ziyan didn't speak, I don't know if Jiang Ziyan didn't care, or if he was stupid.
"Some time ago, Princess Qi gave birth to a royal grandson, a banquet was set up in the palace, and the ladies of all the mansions arrived.
His Royal Highness the King of Qi's mother Tuoba Imperial Concubine proposed that Princess Qi's sister Zhao Linlin marry to the Chu Palace, and give His Royal Highness the King of Chu a side concubine, and the emperor agreed, I am afraid that His Royal Highness the King of Chu will have a holy decree to the palace after returning to Beijing. ”
Wang Yingying didn't say anything during the meal. I was afraid that I didn't want my grandmother to hear it, so I privately dragged myself to the boudoir to talk secretly.
"My mother-in-law and two aunts know that they only hide it from the old lady, afraid that she will not be able to stand it when she is old. This is full of capital, except for our Ye Mansion, whose lords are not wives and concubines. Hearing Wang Yingying say this, it seems that Wang Yingying can accept the matter of three wives and four concubines.
Wang Yingying saw that Jiang Ziyan had not spoken, and said: "At the beginning, my parents insisted that I marry into Yefu, because they fancied the men in our Yefu and did not take concubines, although I also have several aunts, my parents still do not approve of taking concubines, especially my mother, who is willing to share their men with other women." ”
Jiang Ziyan didn't speak, and she didn't know how to pick up Wang Yingying's topic.
It is common for men in this world to have groups of wives and concubines, especially those with status, sometimes the number of wives and concubines often shows the wealth of the family, which capable man does not want to show his charm in front of others.
Nangong Hao, as a prince, can be called the best among men in terms of wealth and status, as well as ability and character, and if such a man does not have a few women in the back house, it seems a little abnormal.
Jiang Ziyan couldn't accept such a thing, why did Miss Ben desperately kill the enemy in front to protect her family and defend the country, but there were people in the back house who wanted to dig their own corners?
If you want to enter the Chu Palace, you can't have a door!
Jiang Ziyan didn't speak, it doesn't mean that Jiang Ziyan will accept such a thing.
Wang Yingying saw Jiang Ziyan's eyes glowing coldly, and she regretted telling Jiang Ziyan about it: "Yan'er, are you okay?" ”
Wang Yingying was afraid that Jiang Ziyan would not be able to accept it, and if Jiang Ziyan picked up the guy and killed him in the Zhao Mansion, it would not be impossible.
Jiang Ziyan came back to her senses and said with a smile: "If you want to be a side concubine for Nangong Hao, you have to agree with Nangong Hao himself, right?" This is the end of the matter. Let's talk about some joy. ”
Wang Yingying saw that Jiang Ziyan was not as vulnerable as she imagined, so she put her heart in her stomach.
It seems that the worries of the mother-in-law and aunt do not exist, and Miss Biao may be much stronger than they think.
"Cousin-in-law, when will you give birth to a baby?" Jiang Ziyan looked at Wang Yingying and smiled.
Although no one told Jiang Ziyan that Wang Yingying was pregnant, from Wang Yingying's complexion, Jiang Ziyan had already seen that Wang Yingying must be pregnant with a baby.
"No wonder my mother-in-law and aunt said that you are a ghost and spirit, and I can't hide anything from you." Wang Yingying blushed as she spoke, where is this the proud woman who didn't let her eyebrows shave when she saw her at the beginning, and she was clearly the beautiful girl of Yingying Yanyan in the back house.
It turns out that it becomes like this when you get married?
Jiang Ziyan didn't look down on the woman in the back house, but she felt that Wang Yingying had changed too much.
"Did you really get me right?" Jiang Ziyan pulled Wang Yingying's arm: "Cousin-in-law, let me show you, whether this baby is a boy or a girl." After speaking, give Wang Yingying a pulse.
"Yan'er still has such abilities?" Wang Yingying showed joy, who doesn't want to know in advance whether she is pregnant with a daughter or a son.
"It's been three months, right?" Jiang Ziyan asked.
"Well, it's been exactly three months." Wang Yingying is now generous and talks to Jiang Ziyan about the child in her belly.
"Can you tell if it's a man or a woman?" Wang Yingying was anxious to know whether she was pregnant with a boy or a girl.
Jiang Ziyan smiled: "I don't have much ability, but I feel that you are pregnant with twins." ”
"Really?" Wang Yingying was not happy but was a little nervous: "Am I really pregnant with twins?" ”
"Well, that's for sure, but I don't know if it's a man or a woman." Jiang Ziyan put down Wang Yingying's sleeves and covered them on the back of her hand.
Although it has warmed up now, it is still necessary for pregnant women to pay attention to keeping warm.
"How's that okay?" Wang Yingying stood up and circled around the room.
"This is a good thing, no matter how many people ask for it, it is not uncommon to come to you." I really can't understand it, my cousin-in-law won't be overjoyed, confused, right?
"What's not unusual?" The two of them only cared about talking, and the maid in the courtyard did not report, and the eldest lady opened the door and walked in.
Then the second and third aunts also walked in, and the house suddenly became lively.
"Auntie," Jiang Ziyan hurriedly stood up, saw the two aunts who came in behind, and then called: "Second aunt, third aunt." ”
"I heard what you guys said just now, how did you see that we didn't speak? Do you dislike us old women? "The third aunt has always loved to joke with young people, and since Wang Yingying passed the door, she and Wang Yingying have become New Year's friends, but she seems to be like a mother-in-law.
"Auntie, ... Wang Yingying didn't know how to reply, and was a little embarrassed.
Usually Wang Yingying is not such a twisted temperament, why did the smoke arrive and appear restrained?
"Yan'er, are you bullying your cousin?" Looking at Wang Yingying's embarrassed face, the third aunt smiled more and more.
"Third aunt, you have wronged Yan'er, now my cousin-in-law is a great hero of our family, even if you borrow a cigarette, Yan'er doesn't dare to bully your cousin-in-law at this time." After Jiang Ziyan finished speaking, his face was aggrieved.
The second aunt came over and said, "Looking at your cousin-in-law like this, it is clear that she has been wronged, and it is just the two of you here, it is not that you bullied your cousin-in-law, or the three of us can't do it?" ”
Wang Yingying saw that everyone deliberately said something wrongful to Jiang Ziyan, and hurriedly said: "My cousin didn't bully me, it's my own bad good, I... I... My cousin said I was pregnant with twins. "Tell everyone about this matter, Wang Yingying seems to have unloaded her burden, and she is a lot more relaxed, and the entanglement on her face is gone.
"Really? That's a good thing! Tell the old lady to go quickly, and let them be happy and happy. After the third aunt finished speaking, she walked out.
"Wait," the eldest aunt stretched out her hand to stop the third aunt, "let's figure it out, how to tell the old lady." ”
Jiang Ziyan didn't understand, didn't she just report good news, and she still needed to sum it up? The eldest lady of the Ye Mansion was not so timid before.
