196 A piece of infatuation
Old Madam Xie thought for a while and looked at Xie Chang, "There is really no more suitable person than her, old lady, what do you think?" ”
Xie Chang nodded, "Princess Chiyang's status is precious, maybe she has to go through the Ministry of Rites, these rules and etiquette must be unclear for a while, it's late today, Chonghua is tired all the way back, it's better to rest early, and we'll discuss it carefully tomorrow."
Old Madam Xie nodded again and again, Xie Tanwei helped her to get up, and said affectionately, "Mother, I will help you go back to rest, and then go back to Chongguang Courtyard."
Old Madam Xie was willing to let him work, and patted his hand in disgust, "Is it impossible to decorate so many maids and wives around me?" It's not your turn to do such a thing, just go back and rest, you are good, it is the most important thing! ”
Xie Tanwei coaxed her to laugh a few more words, and went back to Chongguang Courtyard to sleep without mentioning it.
Early the next morning, Qiu Xiyin got up as usual, and after practicing for an hour, he went to Mrs. Qiu.
Mrs. Qiu has always paid attention to health preservation, going to bed early and getting up early, and every day after getting up, she has to play a five-bird play in the courtyard for half an hour before washing and changing clothes.
Qiu Xiyin pinched it, just as Mrs. Qiu finished the five-bird play and bathed out, Qiu Xiyin personally took a dry towel to wipe her hair.
Mrs. Qiu didn't allow it, she smiled and said, "Grandmother, I have been gone for three years, and I finally came back, and my grandmother will always give me a chance to fulfill my filial piety."
Mrs. Qiu also relied on her, three years have passed, her silver hair has thinned a lot, Qiu Xiyin looked sad, waited for her to dry her hair, and commanded the comb woman to comb her hair to comb a dignified and complicated bun, and went to the courtyard to cut a bright red canna for her to insert in front of the bun.
Mrs. Qiu scolded with a smile, "I still wear flowers when I'm old, and you're not afraid of people laughing at me!" ”
Qiu Xiyin was tired of being coquettish on her, "No, flowers with beauties, my grandmother is the first beauty in Jiangnan, and wearing flowers is called famous flowers and the country is happy."
Mrs. Qiu was coaxed by her to smile, the grandfather and grandson laughed and dressed up, and Mrs. Hua and Mrs. Qiu and others came to say goodbye one after another.
Three years have passed, and Mrs. Qiu is much younger than three years ago, and her white hair can't cover the brilliance on her face.
Five years ago, Deng Wenya entered the palace and sealed Concubine Liang, and soon became pregnant.
The heirs of Xiaochengzong are thin, and there is only one Xiao Yin for so many years, and he suddenly got a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, and his surprise can be imagined, and he immediately gave the name of the little prince as Qi and the little princess as Lin.
Deng Wenya's body is not very strong, the first child is twins, several times after giving birth, when she was seriously ill and unbearable, she cried and begged Xiao Chengzong to foster a pair of children to the queen's name, so as not to have no shelter for her weak children after her death.
Xiao Chengzong responded, and the queen who had been unfavored and childless for many years was inexplicably surprised, for fear that Deng Wenya would regret it, and immediately took a pair of princes and princesses back to Kunning Palace.
I don't want another month to pass, Deng Wenya has slowly improved, only the child has been carried to the queen's palace, and the queen mother has a resolute attitude and does not allow filial piety to go back on her word.
Xiaochengzong then listened to Ning Shenzhi's suggestion, compromised and took the little princess back to Deng Wenya's side, and recruited Deng Wenya's father Deng Lu to enter Beijing, and enshrined Enbo, hereditary replacement, and gave Enbo Mansion.
The Deng family has been in business for generations and has become a hereditary earl, and its surprise can be imagined, and the family immediately moved to the capital, and the Qiu family also happily moved to Xinfu to become an earl.
Mrs. Qiu also raised her eyebrows, but her temperament has become kinder in recent years, and she is much younger, but she is still the same as she was at the beginning.
Mrs. Hua has not changed at all, she still has such a dignified appearance, sitting opposite Mrs. Qiu clearly, and sitting with Qiu Mingzhu and Qiu Baozhu sisters in her hands.
They are seventeen years old, originally Qiu Xiyin thought that she had been out for three years, even if they didn't leave the cabinet, the family affairs should be decided, but they didn't want to, but they haven't been decided, but Mrs. Hua has always had a high vision, and she looks at these daughters as if they are eyeballs, and it is not uncommon to be carefully selected.
Qiu Buyan sat down with Mrs. Qiu, three years have passed, she has grown into a slim girl, lively and bright, with a striking complexion, just sitting there will press down the Qiu Mingzhu sisters with superior appearance and temperament.
At the beginning of this year, her relationship with the crown prince Xiao Yin had been announced to the world, just waiting for her and Empress Lu to enter the East Palace.
Five years ago, Qiu Shixing entered the Xie Academy as a master, and took Mrs. Qiu and Qiu Xiyin to live in the Xie Academy.
At that time, Xiao Chengzong had clearly expressed that he wanted to marry Xiao Yin, the prince and concubine of a country, and its importance was self-evident.
The hatred in this life is much more restrained and smarter than in the previous life, at least on the surface.
Old Mrs. Qiu is proud of her good concubine's granddaughter, and even more proud of her future princess's granddaughter, no matter what she says, she will eventually turn on one of them.
Qiu Xiyin just came back, but she made her ready-made good excuse, and after a few words, Mrs. Qiu smiled and said, "Although the rules of the heavenly family are different, it doesn't hurt for my sister to catch up with my sister, but Yinyin is not small, it should be considered in the end."
Qiu Xiyin pretended to be shy and lowered her head, and Mrs. Qiu said lightly, "Yinyin has me and her grandfather in charge, so you don't have to worry about it."
Where does Mrs. Qiu want to take care of Qiu Xiyin's family affairs, the purpose is different, she didn't get angry when she heard it, and said with a smile, "Actually, really speaking, Yinyin doesn't need to be in a hurry, my father and mother should really be planning for Mingzhu and Baozhu sisters, there are many people in the capital who have not yet left the cabinet at the age of seventeen, but they have not yet decided on a marriage, except for our family, we really can't find a second home."
Qiu Mingzhu and Qiu Baozhu both blushed and lowered their heads, and Mrs. Hua said lightly, "I was about to talk to my mother about this, but it's not appropriate to mention this kind of thing in front of the children, or wait for the children to leave."
This is to ridicule Mrs. Qiu for being unorthodox, Mrs. Qiu snorted coldly, "Sister-in-law has been picking up for so many years, and the Bodhisattva blesses sister-in-law to pick out a fairy for the pearl and the orb."
Seeing that the more she talked, the more unseemly she became, Mrs. Qiu scolded coldly, "What nonsense are you talking about in front of the child? Come and eat".
The morning food was quickly put up, Qiu Xiyin took the lead, Qiu Buyan was also able to flatter, Qiu Mingzhu and Qiu Baozhu were also playing on the side, and the atmosphere was better again.
After finishing the morning meal, Mrs. Qiu said to Qiu Xiyin, "You just came back, don't be busy reading your books, first get together with the two aunts and sisters, I invited a storyteller yesterday, and a singer, you have a small banquet, have a good time."
The four girls retreated, and Mrs. Hua glanced at Mrs. Qiu again, and Mrs. Qiu said, "Second daughter-in-law, you can also go back and rest, I don't need you to serve here."
Old Lady Qiu snorted, when she was rare, even if she was picked by Tartar, she would not be able to find a better grandson-in-law than her!
After Mrs. Qiu left, Mrs. Hua asked Mrs. Qiu to step down, got up and saluted Mrs. Qiu, "Mother, you also know that in the past few years, for the sake of the pearl and the pearl, I have seen all the sons and daughters inside and outside Beijing.
Baozhu is simple in nature and shallow in mind, I have already agreed with my sister-in-law to marry her back to my grandfather's family, at least I don't have to worry about her being offended. Mingzhu - "Cool text."
The old lady Hua said with a long sigh, "Mingzhu's thoughts, mother, you also know, this girl usually looks gentle and obedient, but in fact, her temperament follows the old lady, and she is the most stubborn."
In the past, I also probed the tone of Mrs. Xie, Mrs. Xie is a child who loves children, and said that she must ask Xie Sigongzi to agree to it.
Our enemy family and the Xie family are also considered to be scholarly families, the door is right, Mingzhu's talent can be regarded as a match for Xie Sigongzi, and they are serious relatives, isn't it a good thing to be close to each other?
Now that the fourth son of Xie is back, the daughter-in-law implores her mother to help her daughter-in-law explore the Xie family's tone, if the Xie family responds, it is the best, the Xie family should not, and I should make another plan for Mingzhu as soon as possible."
Mrs. Hua said that she was deeply blessed, Mrs. Qiu was silent, she liked Xie Tanwei very much, if Xie Tanwei could become her grandson-in-law, she would naturally be happy, but even if she was Qiu Mingzhu's grandmother, she had to admit that her granddaughter was really not worthy of Xie Tanwei!
It's not that Qiu Mingzhu is anything bad, but she doesn't seem to be particularly outstanding, and even her mother was not as good as her back then.
Just thinking about the dazzling Xie Tanwei standing with her granddaughter who is not brilliant at anything, she feels bad!
I'm sorry for Xie Tanwei!
Such a good boy, at least you have to find someone who is similar to Yinyin, right?
"Mother!" Mrs. Hua stepped forward and was sincere, "Mother, you should pity your granddaughter!" ”
Mrs. Qiu was even worse, and scolded, "You're embarrassed to say it!" Whether it's a big family or a small family, I've never heard of a girl's sincerity!
Haven't you had enough of your own lessons? Now it's like this with the pearl! You're not loving her, you're hurting her! ”
The ruddy face of the old lady turned pale in an instant, and she was crumbling and almost unstable on her feet.
Mrs. Qiu is soft-hearted, thinking that she has been filial for so many years, unlike Mrs. Qiu, who is going around stirring up trouble, seeing her like this, her tone softened a little, "Mingzhu is my granddaughter, I also love her, I only hurt her again, I have to say a fair word, if Mingzhu wants to marry Xie Sigongzi, it is indeed a little high."
Even if you enter the door, you may not be able to accept the heart of the fourth prince Xie and sit firmly in the position of the wife of the head of the Xie Academy.
I look at the cotton brother of the Xie family with a pure temperament, and the appearance of the talent is not bad, now working in the sixth department, the future is limitless, it is better to-"
"How?" Mrs. Hua exclaimed, "Mother, Brother Mian'er's father is a bad gambler and was expelled from the Xie family, and his mother is a sick seedling, and she needs ginseng and deer antler to raise all day long, and no matter how big the furniture is, she has to fill it in!"
He himself only won a fellow jinshi, and now under the shadow of the Xie family, he has found an errand in the sixth department, what future can he have? My pearl, no matter how low she is, she can't marry into such a family and suffer from sin! ”
Mrs. Qiu was afraid that she wouldn't understand the depths, so she patiently explained, "Brother Mian used to support his mother alone, but will he chew his wife's dowry in the future?"
The most important thing in choosing a husband is character, the child is also in his early twenties, there has never been a mess around him, and it is even more filial piety to support his mother.
Even your father has praised him several times for his gentleness and purity, and what is even more rare is that he is exquisite, but his mind is correct, and his future will definitely be no different."
Mrs. Hua knelt down, "Mother, mother, I beg you, as long as you go and ask, other daughters-in-law don't dare to force it, mother, you don't need to use other people to prevaricate your daughter-in-law, for so many years, the daughter-in-law only begs her mother this time, begs her mother to be fulfilled!" ”
Seeing that she was so stubborn and misinterpreting her kindness, Mrs. Qiu was so angry that her heart was sullen, and she sneered when she heard this, "You don't have to kneel to me, I know your thoughts, if I refuse to go, you will definitely blame me for being biased!" That's it, my children are all debts, so I should pay off my debts and give up this old face!
Only my ugly words are ahead, if people don't look down on the pearl, don't blame me for not working hard! ”
Mrs. Hua sneered, "Mother is angry, mother is angry."
Mrs. Qiu picked up the teacup and snorted coldly, Mrs. Hua knew that she was driving herself away, so she got up, thought about it, and finally asked uneasily, "When will Mother go?" ”
Mrs. Qiu sneered, "Why don't you go now?" ”
Mrs. Hua sneered, "The daughter-in-law is not urging her mother, she just wants to have a bottom in her heart."
"People have just come back, you are in a hurry to come to the door, you are not ashamed, I am ashamed of you!"
Mrs. Qiu waved her hand impatiently to drive her away, "Since I promised you, I will not go back, I will discuss with your father first and then make a decision."
Mrs. Hua was relieved and left satisfied.
……
……
Qiu Mingzhu took a few girls into the water pavilion in his yard and said with a smile, "I am the chief here, and I will be the east today, and I will invite everyone to eat lotus cakes and lotus soup."
The water pavilion is ventilated on all sides, and the four corners are placed with icebergs, which is very cool, and a few girls listen to the music, eat lotus cakes, and chirp to ask Qiu Xiyin what they have seen and heard on the road, but they are also very harmonious.
At noon, Qiu Mingzhu ordered a banquet in the water pavilion, the four girls sat at a table, halfway through eating, the carrots came over in a hurry, but it was Xie Jiamian who came, Mrs. Qiu left him to eat, and asked her if she had time to meet.
Qiu Xiyin hurriedly swallowed the rice in his mouth, put down his chopsticks, and blessed a few people, "It just so happens that I am also full, so I will leave first and forgive my sins."
Qiu Buyi hurriedly said, "It just so happens that I haven't seen my ninth cousin for a long time, so I'll go too."
Qiu Xiyin nodded indispensably, Qiu Buyan stepped forward to grab her arm, but Qiu Xiyin avoided it sideways.
Qiu Buyan showed an aggrieved look on his face, "Third sister, the third sister hasn't come back for so long, I want to be close to the third sister."
Qiu Xiyin said lukewarmly, "I'm not used to contact with people, Cousin Nine is still waiting, are you going?" ”
