Chapter 281: Desperate Trouble
Mo Shijiu returned to the county marquis's mansion to ask Xue'er for the crime, and then told the result of the handling of this matter, and added at the end: "This is obviously calculated, why should the eldest prince admit it!" β
Xue'er shook her head, straightened out her slightly messy sideburns and sighed: "You don't know my lobby brother, he has always been a cold-faced and soft-hearted person."
He has been the eldest son and grandson of the Dong family since he was born, and he is pampered and one, and he is inevitably domineering, which is like this in the eyes of outsiders.
But in the hearts of our little brothers and sisters, he is a qualified big brother.
When we are bullied, he will come forward to help us find the field, and when it is delicious, he will also share it with us. β
Of course, what Xue'er said is true, but Dong Chengyi is introverted, if you don't take the initiative to approach him, he won't take the initiative to lean towards you.
He was also selfish in the beginning, and his conversion was a later thing. In Xue'er's memory, Dong Chengyi's change began when she crossed over.
Because he was favored to develop his stubborn character, the eldest brother is very assertive, and the things he decided will not change easily, which can be seen from the fact that he said that he would no longer study after he died.
But the kindness in the bones is not cheating, which is also a common problem of the Dong family.
In fact, if he didn't admit it, then Geng Niangzi would only have a dead end, so he was soft-hearted and couldn't bear it.
Even if you know that you are being calculated, what can you do? Sue the official, don't admit it to death, or let Geng Niangzi dip in the pig cage?
This kind of ending is what he doesn't want to see, and the only thing he can do is to admit it, so that he can save the life of that Geng Niangzi. β
Xue'er is pleased that even though she is favored, Dong Chengyi is not spoiled as a gentleman.
"It's too cheap, that Geng Niang!" Qiao'er was upset for Dong Chengyi, and her indignant appearance made Xue'er want to laugh.
"Who let Brother Lobby be careless himself, do you want to admit that he was calculated in front of others? You don't know how good he is. β
Xue'er knows Dong Chengyi's cousin best.
In modern terms, Dong Chengyi is a sullen man, some machismo, and some chivalrous, and he is too upright in life.
is domineering on the surface, but in fact he is the most sensitive, and he is a kind mess in his core.
If you can walk into his heart and be recognized by him, it will be a lifetime thing.
What Xue'er didn't know was that she was complaining about her eldest brother here, where her fiancΓ©, His Royal Highness Youwang, was also in dire straits.
It was night at the Jingguo Mansion, the old prince came back earlier than usual today, the first few days Youwang was injured, there were many military and political affairs, and he returned home late every day.
Recently, the border has stabilized a lot, and he has a lot less things on hand, and he wants to come back early to accompany his old wife and granddaughter to dinner.
When he returned home, he didn't see his precious granddaughter, only his old wife was restless, and the servants around him were silent and trembling.
Feng Lao Guogong asked puzzledly: "What about Changle, why didn't you accompany Mrs.?" This girl doesn't stop even after she's in time, and there's no shadow all day! β
In his heart, his granddaughter is the best little lady in the world, even if she is an adult, she will not grow up like when she was a child.
The old lady's eyes flickered, and she didn't answer his question, but looked left and right and said to him: "Why did Lang Jun come back so early today?" β
The old man laughed and said, "Isn't this the girl who wants to be Changle?" I want to come back to eat with you, I haven't eaten with you for a long time! β
"Changle's girl is a little uncomfortable, resting in her own yard!" The old lady didn't expect her husband to come back so early today, so she had to lie.
The old man frowned his gray eyebrows and said worriedly: "Then go and see it for the husband, have you asked the doctor to see it?" That girl is most afraid of drinking medicine, no, for the husband to go and see it in person, otherwise don't worry! β
The old lady's heart suddenly swooped, and she subconsciously stopped: "No need, it's nothing serious, just let her rest in peace!" β
Feng Lao Guogong is not so easy to fool, seeing the old wife's words flickering, he suddenly felt bad in his heart, and retreated from the people who were waiting in the house, stared at his wife and asked, "Say, what happened?" β
"No, no." The old Duchess has a hard duck mouth, and still refuses to admit it.
"You and I have been married for decades, do you think that your husband is so easy to deceive, and you are still lying to me at this time?" The old man was a little angry, and he was dissatisfied with being concealed.
The old lady was a little unbearable, her husband's eyes were terrifying, the kind of momentum and eyes that can only appear on the battlefield, staring at her uncomfortable: "Changle, she, she went to Youwang's Mansion." β
"Going to pester Che'er again?" The old man hated iron and steel, and asked through gritted teeth.
"Don't you know how jealous our Feng family is today? After going to Chang'an for more than two years, haven't you understood the current situation?
Children are not sensible, are you still not sensible? Jinshang would rather let Che'er set a little-known Yongfeng county lord, and he is not sure about Changle, don't you understand the twists and turns?
Have you forgotten all the words your husband told you to the back of your head?
Our little lady is so worthless, is it upside down for others? β
The more he talked, the more angry he became, and he couldn't take back the anger he was all over, so the old lady was speechless when he asked.
At that time, there were many families who supported the Xuanyuan family to take the throne, but most of these families started with military merits, and in order to suppress the military, there were not many families left in charge of military power.
After Xuanyuan came to power, he made many reforms to the government and military politics. Some followed the system of the previous dynasty, and some were ingenious, which greatly reduced the power in the hands of the family and the ministers of civil and military affairs, concentrated the imperial power, and weakened the courtiers.
Now Wenchen is weak in the court, but the military ministers who started with military merits have the upper hand, and now the Dong family, the old family of the former dynasty, has been promoted, and then there is the county marquis of Changhai County, and the princess of Yongfeng County.
This is the beginning, but not the end.
"But, Changle her, she has the queen's aunt, the Guogong Mansion, and the uncles who fought on the frontier, so what does the county lord of Yongfeng have?" The old Duchess is still a little strong, counting the forces behind Changle.
She also knew that Cheng Ye Xiao He defeated Xiao He, and it was because of these forces behind Changle that she could not get what she wanted. But she didn't want to admit it.
In fact, she understands the truth, even if she is still persistent, she has already seen and figured out a trip to Chang'an! How can the wealth of the heavenly family still lose their old eyes.
Of course, her granddaughter's soft grinding made her heart soft, and she couldn't bear it even more when she saw her granddaughter haggard, so she was confused for a while.
