Chapter 99: What to do if you can't get married
As night fell, Cao Ming entered the second gate and went straight to the main courtyard of Mrs. Wu.
When Mrs. Wu saw Cao Ming coming in, she hurriedly asked people to send hot cloth, tea and soup, and some snacks, and watched Cao Ming drink a bowl of soup and eat a piece of dim sum before raising her hand and retreating from everyone.
Cao Ming moved over and sat next to Mrs. Wu, with a faint fear on her face, "It is said that Uncle Zhongyong has committed suicide and martyred his mother." ”
"Hmm." Old Madam Wu sighed lowly.
She has always let people look at Uncle Zhongyong's mansion from afar, and she already knows about Uncle Zhongyong's suicide.
"I have made a decree to get rid of Sun Daqing's loyal and brave uncle's son, and Sun Erqing will be attacked as loyal and brave uncle, and the word hereditary has been removed, as if it is the meaning of the prince." Cao Ming continued.
Old Madam Wu was stunned for a moment, and then sighed, "The Sun family doesn't have this hereditary title, and the descendants are like that, and it will be difficult in the future." Alas, you go on to say. ”
"Well, I heard General Xie and the crown prince say that Mrs. Tao was originally with Mrs. Sun, and it was Mrs. Sun who said that Mrs. Sun said that she wanted to eat a bowl of dried vegetable noodles rolled out by Mrs. Tao herself at noon, and Mrs. Tao went back to make dried vegetable noodles, so when the incident happened, Mrs. Tao was not in Daxiangguo Temple."
Old Madam Wu hummed and sighed again.
She knew that Mrs. Tao was not there at that time, and she also thought that Mrs. Tao should have been taken away by Mrs. Sun.
Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Tao, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, are as close as mother and daughter, and Mrs. Sun took Mrs. Tao out.
Alas.
The prince had a great temper, pointed at Li Sanlang's nose and scolded, and said foul language.
Li Sanlang said that he didn't dare to say more at the time, first, everyone was taken back, Uncle Sun kept saying that the old man was pitiful, and secondly, he was thinking about educating the people or something.
The prince smacked him in the face, saying that he used this to educate the people, is he going to teach those scum to rape and kidnap the women of good families, so that they can have a chance to be an old lady? ”
"Well, that's the reason." Old Madam Wu kept sighing and motioned for Cao Ming to continue.
"At that time, he was punished for kneeling, the third prince interceded for him, and he was also punished for kneeling, and when I came back, I was still kneeling, saying yes, kneeling for a day and a night."
"Then it's nothing, it's just a kneel, but it's just a kneel, and it's over.
Have you heard anything else? What about Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Zhang? ”
Old Madam Wu looked at Cao Ming and asked.
Cao Ming shook her head, "I haven't mentioned this matter since then, the prince has a gloomy face all day long, his temper is very big, and he has smashed the cup once, which has never happened."
I've been in Jinghua Palace, and I'll be back as soon as I come out. ”
"Well, the grandmother was in the innermost part at the time, and she dragged on for a while by taking advantage of her old age.
When Mrs. Sun took poison, Mrs. Zhang took that ......"
Old Madam Wu paused, "Scum! Kill, the last time I looked, I saw a cavity of blood spurting up. ”
"Huh? Ay! Cao Ming breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good to kill." Since Uncle Zhong Yong has martyred his mother, Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Zhang will definitely be fine. ”
Cao Ming's words were filled with a hint of relief.
"Hmm."
Old Madam Wu patted Cao Ming's hand.
"The prince asked the third brother of the Li family to pass on that sentence, and it also means to let the third brother of the Li family teach and explain, the third brother of the Li family is a little honest, and now it is a big mistake, but he is punished for kneeling for a day or two, this must be for the sake of Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Zhang."
Old Madam Wu's words paused, revealing a smile.
"There is another thing, the sword that Mrs. Zhang cut people was the fourth sister of the Li family, who took General Xie's sword and threw it to Mrs. Zhang."
"Huh?" Cao Ming was stupid when she heard this, "The four ladies of the Li family are so good at kung fu?" ”
Old Madam Wu was stunned by Cao Ming's words, and then laughed.
"What kind of kung fu is so good, she is a delicate little lady, where does the kung fu come from?
She rushed over and tried to snatch the knife from Mrs. Sun's hand, and fell on the platform, General Xie was anxious, but he was afraid that he would be more distressed. Ay! ”
Old Madam Wu laughed and patted Cao Ming on the shoulder a few times before she reacted.
"The wife didn't expect it at all, coming back from the Great Xiangguo Temple, I thought about it carefully, little by little, and thought about it, I thought about it for a long time, this clue, it's not nothing, the wife just didn't expect it, I really didn't dare to think about General Xie.
Who would have thought that? A person like General Xie and such a character really didn't dare to think about it. ”
Mrs. Wu sighed with emotion.
"Lady, what do you mean by that? Do you mean, the four ladies of the Li family and General Xie? General Xie? That is, General Xie? ”
Cao Ming understood every word of his wife's words, but he understood the meaning of these words, but he still couldn't believe it, it was too unbelievable!
That's General Xie!
"I'm afraid it's almost over, and Mrs. An must know about it.
When she called me back, she must have known and knew, so she gave me a reply.
I was still wondering at the time, the fourth sister has not yet decided on someone, how can she dare to say so much?
Thinking about it now, at that time, she must have known, but she couldn't say.
Also, for a while, I looked at Mrs. Xie and the old lady of the Xie family, but I loved to laugh a lot, and my complexion was good, I thought about it for a while, and I couldn't think of anything that could make this lady and son happy like that together.
It's really unthinkable, I thought about everything, but I didn't dare to think about General Xie and think about this matter. ”
Mrs. Wu sighed as she spoke. Cao Ming kept blinking as she listened.
"One more thing.
Your fourth sister told me a while ago, saying that it was Ah Pei who said that her wife was very busy for a while, busy picking people, saying that she would pick a lot of people.
Now that I think about it, I was careless again.
Ah Pei's marriage must have been decided many years ago, when she was a child and waited for her, she was picking a companion to marry, so she didn't need to pick it now, besides, even if she picked it now, how many people could Ngapoi marry? It's enough to let Ah Pei pick it herself, and she can use her wife to be busy for a while?
This is to pick someone for the general's mansion.
In that general's mansion, it is now an empty mansion, and there are some small servants who follow them or something, and I heard that even in the kitchen, there are a group of men. That girl is another bare pole.
But don't you want to pick people well, you have to pick a lot of people?
Looking at it like this, good things are not far away, too, in another year, General Xie will be thirty. ”
"Twenty-nine." Cao Ming was dazzled when she heard it, and subconsciously added.
"Speaking of which, our Cao family still has some blessings, and you are even more blessed."
Old Madam Wu smiled.
"I didn't expect General Xie to be able to start a family, and the girl in the picture is the girl, this Xie family, but for two or three years, you see, I'm afraid it will be more prominent than the Wang family.
That girl is also a person with great blessings, and this descendant will definitely be no worse in the future. Alas, in the end, it's a hundred years old, it's really enviable.
Ngapoi is a blessed one, and fell in love with that girl, and your fourth sister said that the girl loves Ngapoi very much.
Ah Pei and the sixth sister of the Wang family are like sisters, and the sixth sister of the Wang family and the girl are close friends.
Look, how good that is!
Third brother, this is your blessing, this is the blessing of our Cao family. ”
The more Mrs. Wu thought about it, the more satisfied she became, and the more she spoke, the happier she became.
"Why." Cao Ming smiled.
"As for!"
Old Madam Wu had a serious face.
"The prince's real eloquence is strategic, and the emperor is also eloquent, when this matter is clarified, this family matter is decided, General Xie is only afraid that he can get a prince."
Cao Ming's eyes widened in surprise.
"Where is the identity of that girl, she is married to General Xie, the prince is treated as a brother, and the emperor is a son who hurts.
Alas, I also considered the benefits of that girl's status at the beginning.
However, now it is better for the Cao family than her marrying into our Cao family.
That girl is too good, her life is very blessed, our Cao family can't afford it, and it's best now.
This man must not be greedy, but must go forward step by step in everything.
Ah Pei was born in the Xie family, and he is a good child, and you are also a good child, and in the future, you will definitely be able to give birth to good sons and daughters.
Now so, it's the best! ”
"Yes." Cao Ming listened intently to Mrs. Wu's words.
Old Madam Wu sighed for a while, and was about to call someone in, when there was a rush of footsteps outside, and the big girl on duty reported through the curtain: "Old lady, the second aunt and grandmother are here, and they are in a hurry." ”
"Let her in."
Cao Ming hurriedly stood up and greeted the door.
The second grandmother, Cao, rushed into the house.
"Go and rest, I'll talk to your second sister."
Old Madam Wu first smiled and said to Cao Ming, then looked at Cao Shi and smiled: "Why is it in such a hurry?" What's the matter? ”
"My wife also knows that I have been careless since I was a child, and I have been ...... for most of the day. It was much better to see the wife.
My wife knows all about it, right? Something big is going on in our family, it's ......."
Cao patted her chest, she was indeed much better now, especially when she saw her mother-in-law's smile.
"Don't worry, sit down first, bring a bowl of soup to your second aunt and grandmother, have you eaten dinner?" Let's see if there are any mutton shortbreads, your second aunt and grandmother love to eat them. ”
Old Madam Wu patted Cao Shi to comfort her, and at the same time ordered with a smile.
Cao exhaled twice and sat sideways on the edge of the couch, this time it really eased up.
"The wife knows, your wife and the old lady have gone back? Have you stopped? How's the complexion? ”
Old Madam Wu watched Cao drink a bowl of soup and eat a shortbread before she asked with a smile.
"When I went back half an hour ago, our lady and the old lady were dressed in blood, and they wore a long gown that came from nowhere.
Mrs. said that they had cremated Mrs. Sun and scattered her ashes into the river before they returned.
Mrs., our wife killed someone, and the old lady of the Sun family was killed by our wife!
You say......"
"I know, how is the old lady? Is your complexion good? Old Madam Wu gently patted Cao's hand.
"It doesn't look very good, and my face is very ugly. Our lady said the old lady was fine, so let me not worry. ”
Cao Shi exhaled again and patted his chest.
"I'm in a hurry again. Our lady and the old lady bathed and ate something, though not much. The old lady said that she wanted to read a night period to Mrs. Sun, and the lady said that she would accompany me and let me go back to rest, saying that it was okay.
By the way, the third master hasn't gone back yet, and he hasn't sent a little guy back to say it, Erlang said that the third child is fine, let me not worry. ”
Old Madam Wu listened intently, and said softly: "Your lady and the old lady are fine, nothing at all.
You go back in a while, don't rest this night, carefully look at the soup, tea and rice, tomorrow morning, remember to invite a doctor to come to the house, and ask your wife and old lady for a pulse.
San Lang's matter, the third brother said just now: The matter of the Sun family, San Lang passed a message for the prince before, and asked Uncle Sun to think about what filial piety is.
At this time, such a thing happened, and he spread the word, but he didn't click it, which is a big mistake.
At this time, San Lang was punished for kneeling in Jinghua Palace, and the third brother of the Huo family was also kneeling with him.
Don't worry, you'll be fine on your knees.
Did the four ladies go back? ”
"I went back and got home before dinner. Ermen's mother-in-law said that half of her skirt was full of blood. She is also in Daxiangguoji Temple today! Lady, you say ......"
Cao's eyes widened, could it be that this fourth sister also rushed up to kill someone?
"Well, then it's okay, you go back quickly, work hard all night, you old lady and lady, Cui Weiju, San Lang, and your third sister, you have to be careful everywhere.
Let's go back. If there is something going on in your house, it will be a good thing, so go back. ”
Old Madam Wu smiled and rushed out to catch up with Cao.
Cao stood up, "If my wife says so, then I will rest assured, I will go back, my wife will rest assured, I will go." ”
Cao's footsteps briskly walked out of the upper room and went straight back.
……………………
In the afternoon of the next day, the emperor squinted and smiled at Xie Ze, who came in with a long scroll.
"In the past two days, the minister, the Privy Council, and the household department have negotiated the grain transportation route and several places where grain and grass are stored......"
Xie Ze saluted and put the scroll on his hands.
"Put it here first, you have to calm down here, take a closer look, grain and grass are a big deal, and the war is about heavy grain and grass, put it here first, wait for me to calm down for a while, and take a good look."
The emperor interrupted Xie Ze's words, reached out and took the scroll and put it on the long case.
"There's one thing, just a few words, this, it's really a bit urgent, I can't help but talk about it.
Lu Guogong, Lao Yang, you know this person, don't say anything else, have a good eye, that's nothing to say.
A while ago, for a while, Lao Yang told me that he had taken a fancy to the little girl of the Li family.
I think it's good, don't you think? With his two boys, what a good pair!
It would have been good, but you said that you were yesterday, in public, you were so ......"
The emperor circled his arms.
"That's it...... Alas, you said that she is a good little lady, this reputation, this innocence, right, how do you say that this old Yang still asks his son to marry? ”
"Lu Guogong really wants to ask for marriage, and he won't care about such a trivial matter."
Xie Ze didn't raise his eyelids.
"Well, this is also true, this person with no reputation, Lao Yang like that, really doesn't care about such a trivial matter, that is, hugs, this innocence is still there.
But you rush up so much, the Luguo Mansion really doesn't dare to ask for marriage, who knows if you have a crush on someone, right? What if you really like someone else's little lady?
You fell in love with it, and you were married by the Lu Guogong Mansion, didn't you offend you to death? This is the hatred of taking a wife, which family can commit it? You say, don't you? ”
The emperor's brows were twisted, and he looked like this.
"Aze, I really don't mean anything else, I just thought a little more for that little girl, you said, you rushed and hugged yesterday, in the future, who would dare to come to the door to ask to marry that little girl?
I know that you are a reasonable person, and you will definitely not be accountable, but your prince, when the time comes, you may not be reasonable, this matter, even I am worried about it, you say, which family dares to come to the door to ask for marriage? That little girl, isn't she going to be able to get married?
Well, tell me, what can I do? ”
The emperor looked distressed, and his two hands snapped.
"What do you think should be done?" Xie Ze looked at the emperor.
"Aze, I really don't mean anything else, just worry about that little girl, that little girl is not small.
Originally, how good was the Lu Guogong Mansion, right? Now, look at it, you rushed yesterday, I'm afraid that no one will dare to marry except you, look at ......"
"Well, I'll ask her, and if she's willing to marry, I'll marry her."
Xie Ze's expression and voice were indifferent.
The emperor stayed for a while, snorted violently, took a few steps forward, looked at Xie Ze carefully, and waved his hand with twelve points of uncertainty.
"Then you, you go now, I'm okay here, your prince must be okay there, you go quickly, you go to busy yours, go quickly!"
"Yes." Xie Ze bowed and retreated.
The emperor watched Xie Ze come out of the Yanfu Palace, stood for a while, raised his hand and patted his forehead, and spun in circles.
This is too smooth, how can this matter be like this? It's impossible!
In the middle, there will be a reason, there will be a change, there will be twists and turns!
Aze, this kid is very ghostly, he has a designated backhand!
Well, he's got to hold it down, he's got to think about his next step......
