Chapter 207: Old Lady
Lufu,
It is also known as the Lady Bongshin Mansion.
In a family, there will always be a card, resting in the homes of ordinary people, which is called the pillar or the head of the house, and the capital Lu Mansion, although the family is not the old lady, but in the eyes of outsiders, the weight of the Lu Mansion, ninety percent of the weight, is pressed on the old lady's crutch.
Heaven and earth are the king's teacher, although heaven and earth are in front, but they have never been revealed, so the king is the greatest, as the nurse of today's saint, the generation of Mrs. Fengxin, naturally beyond the ordinary worldly balance.
In the Lu Mansion, whether it is the young master, the young grandmother or the servants, they all call her the ancestor, and when outsiders visit the Lu Mansion, they respectfully call her the old lady.
At this point,
The old lady was kneeling on the futon, with a Buddha statue hanging on the offering table in front of him, reciting scriptures silently.
Behind him, outside the threshold of the door of the small Buddha hall, Lu Bing, the head of the Lu family, the eldest son of the old Taijun, was standing respectfully.
Shaoqing,
The old lady opened her eyes and slowly got up with the support of a maid named Ling Xiang beside her.
The small Buddha hall is not small, but the place for the Buddha is not big, because there is a bedroom on the west side, and the east side is the tea house, so it can only be wronged by the Buddha, although it occupies the center, but the thing is cramped.
The old lady entered the tea house, and Ling Xiang began to make tea.
A cup of chrysanthemum tea, refreshing the spleen and fragrant, was given to the old lady;
A cup of hairy tips, sweet aftertaste, is given to the master.
The old lady put down the Buddha beads, picked up the teacup, and said:
"Say it."
Lu Bing didn't touch the tea, but said respectfully:
"Mother, why?"
Why did the Lu family get involved in this matter?
The prince is watching,
The Manchu Dynasty civil and military are watching,
This big wedding is destined to be a hot potato, others can't avoid it, but their own family accepts it.
And it wasn't him, the head of the family, who took it, but his own mother-in-law.
The old lady took a sip of tea, silently gently pulled the petals with the lid of the cup, and said:
"Because he is the son of His Majesty."
Lu Bing was sitting precariously, as if asking his mother for advice, and asked:
"Why?"
"Are you asking your mother, why do you help Xiao Liuzi?"
"Yes, my son asked, this is it."
"For my mother just now, I have already answered you."
Lu Bing frowned slightly, obviously puzzled.
The old lady put down the teacup and continued:
"I'm used to being a pure heart, and the mundane affairs at home are also in charge of your family, people, as long as the days are quiet, there won't be so many thoughts.
In your opinion, being a mother is helping the little six sons;
But in the eyes of Wei Niang, it is only His Majesty's children who are helped.
Don't say that the little sixth son came to the door, but he was replaced by other princes who came to the door, even if the third child in the Huxin Pavilion escaped by himself and came to the door of our Lu Mansion to knock on the door.
We're here to help. ”
Lu Bing's lips opened slightly, and he seemed to have figured it out.
"The Lu family, unlike other mansions, if you are a mother, you may be a little straighter, don't you like to listen to it."
"Mother said, my son is provincial."
"The scene of the Lu family today, the errands of your brothers today, are exchanged for the affection of His Majesty when he was the mother of the mother."
In the real rich and noble families of this era, the work of the nurse is not only to nurse the child and wait for the child to end after weaning, but after weaning, she will continue to be an old mother and serve the child to grow up.
Therefore, Mrs. Fengxin not only has the friendship of breastfeeding today's saints, but when she was a child in the palace, her majesty was brought up by Mrs. Fengxin.
"My son understands it." Lu Bing said respectfully.
It's a fact.
"Therefore, our Lu family is different from those ministers, because there is such a relationship between our Lu family and the Holy Lord, so we are family members.
Between ordinary courtiers and the Son of Heaven, it is the righteousness of the monarch and the minister, and we have more love.
You also know what kind of virtue your younger brothers are, but everyone also has an errand in them, and this is the love of the Son of Heaven for us.
Since you are a member of the family, how can you not help the younger generation in front of the old man?
You remember,
Mo said that this time it was the sixth son,
It's just that one day the prince rebelled and was about to be arrested, he ran to our Lu family and knocked on the door, and our Lu family had to open the door for him.
Don't worry that Your Majesty will punish the crime, and even if it does, it will be greater than the crime of not opening the door.
Because they are princes, they are His Majesty's real family members, and they are His Majesty's own sons, His Majesty can bully them, and Lao Tzu beats his son, after all, it is a matter of course.
But if anyone else dares to do so,
You have to weigh it yourself,
Do you have the qualifications?
Your Majesty's son, only Your Majesty can move, let him kneel when he kneels, let him lie on his stomach, and other people, if they dare to fall into the well, that is, they will not give His Majesty face.
Besides, we, our Lu family, if we don't even have this kindness with Your Majesty, then what else can we rely on? ”
"Yes, mother, my son understands."
"Mention a little bit more about you, matter, since you have already responded to the mother, today, the little sixth son is going to come to our house to marry someone."
What kind of red lanterns, red silk, happy faces, these things, things that can be bought with silver, are nothing.
I have to be more enthusiastic about the girl of the He family, and move my heart a little more, even if I pinch myself, I have to wipe a little tear from my old body, and make a distressed gesture of marrying a girl.
True or not, like not, false or not,
That's an afterword,
As long as the attitude is in place, this love will be done, and in the future, at least there will be a reason to move around.
Today, you give people face, tomorrow, people will give you face;
You are too shrewd on weekdays, and you are afraid that her mother will be confused for a while and can't figure out this account. ”
"What did you hear?"
"Hehe, it's just some tongue-chewing words."
"The son has no way to govern the family, and he disturbs the mother's tranquility, which is the son's fault."
"You have a lot of things, where do you have a lot of mind to take care of the family, but also for the mother is lazy, just want to be quiet and don't want to take care of things, on weekdays, those small characters of the finches chirp and listen to a few sounds, but you can also relieve boredom.
But when it comes to business, they can't help it. ”
"Listen to my mother's orders."
The old lady picked up the teacup again,
Ling Xiang stepped forward and said:
"Master, yesterday when I sent supper to the girl of the He family, the second young grandmother taught the rules of eating tea in front of the girl He."
When Lu Bing heard this, his eyes froze.
The second young grandmother is the daughter-in-law of Lu Bing's second son.
The old lady took another sip of tea, and said as she put it down:
"I've been young for my mother, women, sometimes my heart is really small, hehe."
Lu Bing got up and arched his hand:
"Mother's command."
"Xiao Nanzi's daughter-in-law belongs to the Qiu family, right?"
"Yes, Qiu's."
"Well, it's not a small family, but ......... Take a break. ”
"Yes."
"The people of our Lu family don't have much ability, because people like us didn't start by their skills.
But, you must not be stupid.
Xiao Nanzi's leg was broken, and the cry had to be listened to by the girl of the He family. ”
"Yes."
Even if it was his son's leg that was about to be broken, Lu Bing still responded without hesitation.
The old lady picked up the Buddha beads again and said:
"I dare to look down on the background of the daughter of the He family, and I feel that the background of the butcher's family is low, hehe;
I don't know what the sky is thick and I don't know what I am.
The daughter of the He family wants to marry the prince, and the person wants to be the master, we are a group of slaves.
In this world, how can a slave dare to laugh at the master for not knowing the rules of eating tea!
propriety
What kind of rules are the Rausch thing,
In the eyes of us slaves, the words of the master are the rules! ”
"Yes, mother, my son wrote it down."
"Girl."
"The slave is here." Ling Xiang responded.
"Call the moon girls, they come in and help me get dressed."
When Lu Bing heard this, he was slightly stunned and said:
"Mother, you ......"
The old lady glanced at her son and said:
"Although you also played with His Majesty and Liang Ting when you were young, you were still young at that time, and there are some things that you don't know."
You don't know anything, the old lady didn't say this.
That is, in the eyes of the old lady, there are too many places in the little sixth son that are like when His Majesty was young.
Especially that night, when Xiao Liuzi came to the Buddha Hall to beg for himself, that look, that posture, and the tone of voice when he spoke were simply the same as those carved out of a mold of His Majesty.
But these words really can't be said, not even his own son.
Everyone in the world says that His Majesty's succession to the throne today is very smooth, because among the children of the former emperor, His Majesty is so good, so good that he hardly needs to think about anything else.
But this does not mean that the other children of the former emperor are waste.
"Since my Lu family is temporarily acting for the girl of the He family today, the old body must come out to support this field for the little lady of the He family."
Saying,
The old lady looked at Lu Bing with blazing eyes,
sighed in my heart:
Although I am old, I can still stand up and earn another incense for my Lu family.
Ling Xiang said:
"Ancestor, just come and serve you."
The old lady waved his hand and said:
"The little lady of the He family has no girl around her, and now she is married lonely like this, it is unavoidable, Lingxiang, you are personally trained by the old body, and you will follow me when you are young.
Here, I don't need you to serve for the time being, go and dress up, be this dowry girl, and enter the house together. ”
Ling Xiang's heart was shocked, she still really knew about this arrangement, but she still immediately took three steps back and knelt down in front of the old lady.
Road:
"The slave knows."
didn't say anything sensational, such as reluctance, feelings or anything, because Ling Xiang knew that the old man in front of her, who had served her for so many years, could see through too many things.
"Your parents, brother and sister-in-law, are now servants in my Lu family?"
"Yes, Old Ancestor, thanks to Old Ancestor's help."
It is really a great blessing and luck to be a servant in a high-ranking family.
The old lady nodded,
Road:
"Within a year, if you are pregnant, then wait for the funeral of your parents, brother and sister-in-law."
"......" Lingxiang.
The old lady looked at Ling Xiang, a smile on the corner of her mouth, and continued:
"You are a smart and shrewd girl, the little lady of the He family is pregnant now, and she can't wait; It stands to reason that you, the dowry girl, already have the gift of sharing the same bed;
But since you are the girl sent by my Lu family to marry, you are the one used by my Lu family to show favor to the little lady of the He family, if you are evil because of you, why bother to come?
Don't blame the ancestor for my ruthlessness, ancestor I am here for your good, this pregnant woman, especially the woman who is pregnant with her first child, has the most careful thoughts.
It's that Ji Chengjue is really a beast, and he wants to force you, then you have to hold a hairpin against your neck, if you dare to follow, old body, dare to do it. ”
"Yes, the slave knows."
"One year, you just wait for a year, it's yours, it's not bad for this year, a year later, if you want to fly on the branches to be a phoenix, it's up to you, but you have to wait for the old body for me to wait for this year."
Say something that is not afraid of taboos,
A prince's mansion, what's the point of fighting for women's families, if you really have that opportunity in the future, you can fight for it generously.
If you can really fight for it, my Lu family's children and grandchildren, I can't say that I have to count on your Lingxiang girl to take care of it. ”
"The ancestors are as kind to the slaves and maids as a mountain, and the slaves and maids dare not ........."
"Alright."
The old lady interrupted Ling Xiang's words,
"If the old body can lick your face and live until that time, when it is time to talk about the rules, the old body will also kneel down to you happily.
Go down and pick up yourself. ”
"Yes, Ancestor."
Lingxiang went down.
The old lady looked at her son and said:
"Don't be here, remember, you are going to marry your daughter today, anyway, you will also act."
Lu Bing directly ignored his mother's last words, and just saluted silently, ready to leave.
The old lady said again:
"Don't be afraid, don't worry, the matter of seizing the heir is not something that you can not mix if you want to, but as long as you do things in your heart, no one can handle you on this matter, because our Lu family is a slave of the Son of Heaven, and the only one who can decide the fate of our Lu family is the Son of Heaven.
To do things, you don't have to be tied, just do it with the attitude of doing things for the Son of Heaven. ”
"The son is grateful for his mother's teachings, and the son has saved."
"Go ahead."
"Yes, my son is leaving."
Lu Bing, who left the small Buddha hall, instructed the old housekeeper beside him to find a stick.
Later, he will break his second son's leg.
While standing there waiting,
Lu Bing's mind came up with what his mother had said earlier.
In fact
Wei Zhonghe only determined today that in the hands of His Majesty, there is also an intelligence yamen independent of the secret spy department, and that yamen is more secretive, and at the same time, the authority may be greater, and it may even be staring at the secret spy department.
But in this world, few people know that the person who helped Emperor Yan take charge of this yamen is Lu Bing, who was given an errand by virtue of his mother being His Majesty's nurse, this is His Majesty's milk brother.
Therefore,
Lu Bing knows more about the Six Princes than others, the relationship between the Six Princes and the remnants of the Min family, the relationship between the Six Princes and Ping Yebo, and the hidden faces of the Six Princes in the past few years.
Long
Lu Bing let out a sigh:
"Mother, you said that you can't avoid it if you want to avoid it, it's true;
But mother, do you know,
People are not fighting with their brothers at all,
he
It's a fight with Your Majesty. ”
