Although Bai Yueyi felt that it was a little inappropriate for her mother to always do such things, she didn't dare to directly contradict it.

Thinking about his poisoning or the sister-in-law of Changfang who saved his life by sending medicine, his mother indiscriminately opened the ancestral hall and wronged his sister-in-law, and the matter was over, but this will take advantage of the sister-in-law's pregnancy to take a concubine for her cousin......

Not to mention anything else, in the eyes of others, my family is afraid that they are wolf-hearted and ungrateful, right?

Despite this, the Bai Lu clan still insisted on sending someone to invite Rong Changning, and Rong Changning also came as promised. The maid is cooking new tea from Lingxi, and the flower hall of the reception is cleaned and cleaned, and it is simple and elegant.

There are fruit preserves and melon seeds on several pear blossom wood desks, and as soon as I enter the door, I hear people talking and laughing inside, so discordant.

And Rong Changning's face was as cold as ever, which was very incompatible with this piece of harmony.

But what does it matter if it doesn't fit? The so-called 'don't speculate for more than half a sentence', where Bai Lu's family is there, Rong Changning just eats tea, and he just buys three rooms to save face.

Looking around, Bai Lu's family, her daughters, and the new daughter-in-law are all there, and there is only her maiden sister-in-law, and the other is the Lingxiao girl at yesterday's family banquet.

Seeing that someone had entered the door and bypassed the flower screen, Bai Lushi hurriedly got up and came over to greet him, and put his figure low: "It can be regarded as looking forward to the distinguished guest!" Changning quickly sat down. ”

Looking at the seniority of the room full of people, it was not his turn to sit on it, Rong Changning stopped and no longer let her pull it, and found a position to lean on the side and sat down.

"How can Changning sit here?!"

"It's too high." Rong Changning looked at Bai Lu's clan with a smile: "Changning was afraid of slipping under his feet, so he fell down before he sat down." ”

The originally amiable person had a smile on his face, and he didn't know that he didn't say the right thing and offended the person in front of him.

And the joy in Lu Lingxiao's heart, who was full of expectations, was also halved, he didn't say a few words yesterday and didn't have any impression of Rong Changning, but if he saw him again, he would crush half of the people to death when he heard her words.

In the future, if you really go to the Ming Wuhou Mansion and find such a bad hostess, will life be better?

Thinking about it, Lu Lingxiao was stunned, and couldn't help but retreat.

Bai Lu's didn't dare to speak much, and Rong Changning let her sit wherever she wanted. On weekdays, he talks like pouring beans, but now he doesn't know how to open the conversation.

After thinking for a while, he turned his head and asked his sister-in-law: "I have been to Haihui Temple on the fifteenth, and my sister-in-law is going back?" ”

"Yes, it's been a long time, and it's time to go back. Originally, I wanted to see my family Aji, but unexpectedly, I also fulfilled Ling Xiao's wish. Seeing that everything is okay with you, that's fine. ”

"Who's to say it isn't?"

Ling Xiao's wish? Didn't you see Bai Chuxi?

In and out of these words, they are all being directed to Bai Chuxi, and Rong Changning has already clarified it in his heart. I didn't want to listen to their nonsense to use to greet them, so I only asked: "When I came out, Changning was looking at the account books at home, and he dropped it after reading half of it." When I saw my aunt calling me over, it didn't look like gossip, just say what you want, it's all my own family, and I don't have to look for too many twists. ”

After calculating from the entrance just now, Rong Changning said two sentences, both of which made people not know how to answer.

It seems that in her eyes, she doesn't put Sanfang in her eyes at all, but she is so respectful that people can't and dare not look for trouble.

Seeing that no one spoke, Rong Changning raised his eyes, ignored everyone and leaned on the hidden table, only looking at Bai Lu and waiting for her to speak. His expression was calm but impatient, as if Bai Lu's words were about to get up and leave.

With such a momentum, Bai Lu's laughed dryly, but he began to be indignant in his heart: "Calling Changning here today, it is indeed an important matter to discuss." ”

Rong Changning tilted his head and motioned for Bai Lu to continue.

I heard Bai Lushi sigh lightly: "Hey, let's still have something to say!" Changning, you are pregnant, you can't take care of many things at home and abroad, and it's not easy to serve the head of the house, so it's time to choose someone to come in and serve. The very big Ming Wuhou Mansion, the courtyard actually asked you to light the lamp and watch the accounts and take care of the housework. ”

"It's my job to take care of the housework, and there's nothing big about it." 163

"......" was choked by her, and Bai Lu couldn't help but groan for a while: "That's it, I didn't say that I would accept a concubine." People outside looked at it, and secretly said that it was Changning that you controlled the family and refused to call a concubine, so jealous, which is detrimental to women's morality. ”

Hearing this, Rong Changning couldn't help but smile: "Is it harmful to women's morality? This kind of thing, it doesn't matter if others say it, but the head of the family and grandmother say it. My grandmother has always been upright, and my grandfather does not tolerate sand in his eyes. If it really hurts women's morality, I'm afraid I won't be allowed a long time ago. However, this world has really become more and more strange, and what is going on in people's houses, but we must ask outsiders before making a conclusion. It's funny. ”

"That being said, it's not good to be seen. In the entire imperial city, there is nothing behind Ah Yi, and it is impossible to say it. It's also good to collect someone to save face. Auntie, this is really for your sake, and I'm even more afraid that others will say that you are not. ”

Saying that, Bai Lushi turned his head to look at his sister-in-law next to him: "Ah Yi is my eldest child, it is like my own son, if you two are not doing well, your aunt is uneasy." My aunt is also from the past, and I know that you have some scruples in your heart. You believe your aunt, if it is sincere, no matter how many concubines can't stop Ah Yi's sincerity towards you. ”

"Is that so?" Rong Changning couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "It seems that the concubines behind my uncle were all accepted by my aunt?" I'm ashamed to say that. ”

"...... you" Bai Lu's sister-in-law didn't seem to be able to listen to Rong Changning's words, and wanted to accuse her with the momentum of her elders, but was stopped by Bai Lu's family: "Changning is still young, so I don't understand the power." ”

I saw her sighing sadly and long: "The way of the world is like this, no one's backyard is guarded by only one woman. Not to mention, even if it is Princess Yonglu, isn't it still called Baining Hou to take a concubine? ”

Speaking of his mother, Rong Changning couldn't help but secretly pinched the longan in front of him in his hand, and the sweet juice flowed down Rong Changning's fingers, and finally dripped on the desk.

Bai Lu's family didn't mean to stop at all: "After all, I want to take a concubine, so it's better to find my own person." Resting in the backyard, it's also easy to talk, and there is a little to take care of! It's better to discipline than the ones you bring from outside. My niece Ling Xiao has not married yet, but she has Ah Yi in mind. Don't hide it from Changning, I see that Ling Xiao is also good at giving birth, there are few people in the long house, and it is a serious matter to extend the heirs. ”

After saying that, I saw Rong Changning hanging his head and saying nothing, picking up the tea bowl and blowing the hot air on it, as if he hadn't heard Bai Lu's tirade just now.

Bai Lu refused to give up easily, and then said: "Ling Xiao is my own niece, so naturally she is of the same mind as Changning. This kid has a good appearance and character, he can do everything in poetry and songs, and he is a descendant, so he is worthy of being a small man in the Ming Wuhou Mansion. ”

"Where's the son?" Rong Changning glanced at Lu Lingxiao: "The young lady who came out is also my aunt's niece, wouldn't it be too aggrieved to be a little little bit of our Mingwu Marquis Mansion?" ”

Finally seeing Rong Changning spitting, Bai Lushi hurriedly said: "Don't be wronged!" She has admired Ah Yi since she was a child, which is already a blessing! ”

Rong Changning shook his head: "No matter how you think about it, you have wronged Miss Ling Xiao, it is better to ask Master Hou to write a letter of harmony and departure, and I will give up the position of the master mother to Miss Ling Xiao." ”

After speaking, Rong Changning raised his eyes and looked at the Bai Lu clan.

The Holy God gave marriage, and wrote and divorced for a concubine for no reason? That's either crazy or crazy! Not to mention that Bai Chuxi can't write, and Mrs. Ying Guo won't let him write it.

If Rong Changning is wronged and complains to the saint, the Lu family will suffer. Bai Lu thought in his heart, this matter still can't be too urgent.

She doesn't eat it if it's soft and hard, so how can it be good?

After thinking about it, Bai Lu glanced at Lu Lingxiao below.

Lu Lingxiao immediately understood, put down the tea bowl in his hand and knelt in front of Rong Changning, not to mention anything else, 'bang bang bang' kowtowed a few times: "Madam, you have a lot of kindness, how dare Ling Xiao dare not do the stick that beat the mandarin duck." Ling Xiao just wanted to find a place to stay in the Hou Mansion, and he just looked at the Hou Ye from a distance, and this life was enough! ”

Behind them, Xiaodong and Xiaoqiu couldn't help but look at each other, this even "scared" and "begged" was to put their housemother on the pot and ask their housewife to reach out and light the fire.

Let them say both reasonable and unreasonable, what else can their housewife say? I'm afraid I'm going to be overwhelmed.

Rong Changning didn't look at Lu Lingxiao, thinking that although Bai Lu's words were not listened to, there was some truth in them. Bai Chuxi himself does not take concubines, and it is a good story to spread it. It's another thing to block it yourself and pass it out.

She was unreasonable, and now the room is full of people from the Bai Lu clan, how to spread today's words is not up to her?

Rong Changning, who never disdained to be jealous in the backyard and had a lot of trouble with a group of ladies, only thought about how to deal with this matter first and then make plans later.

Before he could speak, he heard Bai Lu's say again: "Fortunately, Ah Yi and Ling Xiao also saw the right eye yesterday." ”

"Yes, if Ah Yi doesn't like it, forget it, it's just a ...... of this concubine's affection."

After hearing this, Rong Changning hooked his mouth and smiled, and said to Ling Xiao on the ground: "Even if you break your head here, it's useless, the Hou Ye at home has the final say." I can make up my mind in those parents, but I dare to make up my mind for such a thing. After I went back last year, I didn't hear Hou Yeming say how to talk to Miss Lingxiao, in case we will be wrong, and I will be reprimanded later. ”
