Chapter 53: Palm Bead (2)
After eating a meal, the atmosphere is excellent, you must know that once Pei Gui is in a bad mood on weekdays, he will follow the principle of "eating without saying a word", so scared that others dare not come out, Pei Zhiyan said, I haven't seen my father have so many words at the dinner table for a long time, it seems that this brother-in-law, in my father's pass, has passed it thoroughly.
According to the rules, Lan Yi should go back to the house with her husband after dinner, but Wei Changjue saw the reluctance in her eyes and said: "I hit it off with my father-in-law, and I have a lot of academic questions, I want to ask him for advice, Lan Yi, do you mind leaving an hour later?" ”
Pei Gui was satisfied with his son-in-law's studiousness, stroked his beard and nodded silently, while Lan Yi glanced at his man gratefully, "Don't mind, that Changjue, you and Daddy have talked about it, just send someone to call me, and I will talk to my aunt and brother for a while." ”
After they went to the study, Lan Yi laughed with his relatives in the house, talking about Pei Miaoqing's silent appearance just now, Lan Yi said: "It's not like her temperament, although she looks weak on the outside, she actually has a lot of ideas in her heart, and she has a good face, she always can't help but say it, this time she is so well-behaved, I'm afraid that I really hooked up with some nobles, so I am afraid that her mouth will attract my attention, so I am so cautious." ”
Aunt Li thought for a moment and asked, "What is the girl going to do?" ”
Lan Yi didn't think about it, but said, "I can't rush to Old Madam Ruan to stop her from seeing her." In a few days, I will invite her to sit in Prince Gong's Mansion, have a good chat with her, and maybe pull her back, after all, whether it is King Yu's Mansion or King Qi's Mansion, it is not a good place to go. ”
Aunt Li smiled and said: "Only the girl can say this, in the eyes of others, these two palaces are probably the best places in the world." ”
As she was talking, Aunt Leng suddenly sent someone over, saying that she wanted to take the third girl to meet the princess, and it would be better if she could say a few words alone.
"Aunt Leng's pleading is always straightforward," Lan Yi ordered, "Then let them come, just to trouble Aunt Leng and her brother to avoid it first." ”
Of course, Aunt Li would not fight for this time, and withdrew with Pei Zhiyan, and after a while, Aunt Leng and Pei Miaoyun hurried over, saw Lan Yi, saluted first, and then got up and came forward, "Is the princess tired?" If you're tired, we'll come back when you get some rest. ”
Lan Yi knew that she was always confused, and she didn't know when to say or do something, so she said directly: "Auntie has anything to say, just say it, I should go back after a long delay." ”
Aunt Leng said "oh", and hurriedly said: "Since this is the case, the concubine body will be cheeky to say, it is really your sister's business, and the concubine body can't help much, so I beg you to come here." ”
Lan Yi beckoned, Pei Miaoyun walked to her side, the sisters' hands were pulled together, Lan Yi said gently: "Didn't I answer the things you wanted me to teach you how to live before, and now I have other questions to ask?" ”
Before Pei Miaoyun opened her mouth, Aunt Leng interjected with a shaking handkerchief: "Miaoyun went back and told the concubine about it, and the concubine was also very happy, but she was ......."
"Let the third sister say it herself." Lan Yi interrupted her and explained, "If there is anything in the future, it can't be that my aunt came to Gongwangfu to say something to me, Miaoyun has to face her own thoughts and put forward her needs to me in a dignified manner." From today onwards, Miaojun has to learn to do this, you know? ”
Pei Miaoyun nodded vigorously, "I know, eldest sister." Actually, my aunt brought me here today for my marriage. Speaking of this, she was a little embarrassed, but thinking of Lan Yi's words, she still raised her head and said, "Aunt Bai was suddenly convicted, my aunt and I are a little afraid, we don't have Aunt Bai's ability, let alone the furniture she saved, it is impossible to pave a good marriage for me, so my aunt said, I want to beg you, let you help me find a good marriage." ”
Aunt Leng couldn't hold back on the side, pushed her, and whispered: "What 'you', ah, 'you', you want to be called 'princess', and you have to be called 'you', didn't you tell you before, I forgot about it!" ”
Lan Yi smiled and shook his head, "It doesn't matter, the old name, I listen to it better." It's just this matter, shouldn't my aunt and third sister look for Daddy first? After all, I am also a junior, how can I have the qualifications to point to my sister's marriage. ”
Aunt Leng was about to say something, this time it was Pei Miaoyun who took the lead, and said very directly: "Eldest sister doesn't know, Daddy has been getting busier and busier recently, I thought that after you got married, he would have more leisure time, but I didn't think that there would be more trivial matters in the court, if you didn't go back to the door, Daddy's feet would not touch the ground, and I was afraid that I would come back when I was united." ”
"Everything in the court is a big deal, don't talk about the word 'trivial'." Lan Yi reminded him, thought about it and said: "But parents always have the heart to love their son, Daddy must also remember Miaoyun's affairs, I interfere at will, it seems that our sisters don't respect him." ”
Pei Miaoyun felt that what Lan Yi said was also reasonable, but Aunt Leng was determined to hug the tree of her eldest girl, and said: "If the master is not busy, the concubine body will not be able to ask you to come, I really know that he is busy, and there is no housewife at home, Aunt Li is not good at walking around outside even if she is a housekeeper, so she can only ask you to help." In this way, you don't have to worry about anything, if you see a good man from a good family, you will be grateful if you say a word in front of the master. ”
Lan Yi felt that Aunt Leng and Aunt Bai were different, the calculations in Aunt Bai's eyes seemed to be seeking some benefits for herself, Aunt Leng was all about her daughter, but everything she did was for her daughter, as if it didn't matter who was in charge of the house and who collected the money, as long as her daughter was doing well, she would be Amitabha.
Lan Yi could not accept her father's concubine, but she was willing to accept a mother's love for a daughter, and after thinking about it, she said: "In this way, I will let Your Highness look at more young talents and pick some self-motivated, if there is a chance in the future, I will mention it in front of Daddy." ”
Aunt Leng's face was full of excitement, and she almost knelt down, and said in a loud voice: "Then thank you for the kindness of the princess, if Miaoyun's thing can be done, the concubine will definitely burn high incense for you every day." ”
Lan Yi raised his hand to stop her, "It's not necessary to burn high incense, it's just that ugly words have to be talked about in front of you, Miaoyun's open-mouthed character, if you go to a noble and wealthy family to be a concubine, I'm afraid that the wife will be suppressed, and life will not be very easy, it is better to pick an ordinary family, as long as the other party is good and motivated, as a wife, there is no way out in the future, at this point, if the aunt and Miaoyun do not approve, then I don't have to bother with this." ”
Pei Miaoyun was willing, and said that when she looked at the posture of the eldest sister getting married, she felt that her legs were weak, if she was allowed to be decent in so many people, she might not be able to do it, but Aunt Leng hesitated and said: "Princess, the concubine looks at the second girl and her heart is higher than the sky, in case she marries rich and expensive, but Miaoyun only enters a small family, will it seem that Miaoyun is too useless?" Naturally, no matter how well the two girls marry, they are not as good as you, the princess. ”
"Since my aunt said so, it's better to wait, after all, Miaoyun is younger than me and my second sister, and it doesn't matter if I stay for another year or two, if my second sister marries into a rich family in the future, my aunt thinks it's very good, and she can go her way." Lan Yi smiled faintly, "If you want me to help, of course you just want to let Miaoyun live the rest of her life safely." ”
Pei Miaoyun was also fluctuating in this matter, either listening to Miaoqing's pout, or listening to her mother's guidance, and at this time she felt that Lan Yi was reasonable, and she was confused for a while, she lowered her head and didn't speak, and Aunt Leng was also afraid of making a wrong step, so she said hesitantly: "Then I still ask the princess to help watch, if there is a good one, the lord will agree, and it is nothing if you don't marry high." ”
Lan Yi knew that they were undecided, and they didn't need to pay much attention to this matter for the time being, but because they remembered that if their mother was still there, they would definitely be heartbroken about their marriage, so she moved other ideas, and said: "Auntie is not in a hurry, marriage events must be seen slowly, they are all sisters, I will definitely remember it, and I will never let people treat Miaoyun badly, but there is one thing, I also want to ask my aunt for help." ”
Aunt Leng is a simple person, Lan Yi asked her for help, she didn't feel troublesome, but felt very faced, in order to have the capital to brag about in the future, her spirit was shocked, and she said: "If the princess has anything, even if she tells her, as long as the concubine can do it, she will definitely do it for you." ”
Lan Yi smiled softly and softly, looking at her face, for fear of missing a little expression, "It's not a big deal, Aunt Bai is bad, Mother Xu beside her has attracted a lot of words, she said that the death of my mother and brother was not an accident, but who killed him, Mother Xu was hesitant, no matter how she interrogated, she couldn't tell why." I thought, there are no dead ends in the house, people come and go, some things, if people don't know, unless they do nothing, if my aunt can recall any relevant details to tell me, I must be grateful. ”
Lan Yi was sure that Aunt Leng didn't know the details of Aunt Bai's detention, so she used these words to bluff her, assuming that she had something hidden in her heart, she should panic at this time.
And Aunt Leng's expression is also worth playing, she first listened to Lan Yi in a daze, and after listening to it, she was still stunned for a while, and finally seemed to remember something, and I don't know whether the doubts or feelings on her face are empty, in short, it is not the appearance of Su Ri, but only for a moment, she returned to her normal appearance.
"The concubine body just said, why did the lady and the little prince die inexplicably, it seems that there is another mystery here, but for a while, the concubine can't think of anything, if you think of it in the future, you will immediately tell the princess."
Lan Yi nodded, like a dormant hunter, quietly watching the prey step into the trap, not in a hurry, "Okay, then trouble Auntie." ”
