Chapter 366: Finding a Good Match
"The old slave is really stupid, and he really doesn't understand why the Bai family is so eager to give birth to a child for Xiangye." Mama Fu paused, and then continued, "Even if Xiangye accepted a few beautiful concubines one after another, he still spoiled the Bai family, and the Bai family only needs to take care of his body, and he will naturally not worry about not being able to conceive Xiangye's children in the future." ”
"This is where the Bai clan can see through compared to the other concubines." The old lady had already handed the teacup to Mama Fu and said, "After talking to me for so long, take a sip of tea to moisten your throat." ”
"The old slave thanked the old lady." Mama Fu took the teacup with both hands, handed it to her lips, took a sip, and said, "The old slave is really stupid, and I hope that the old lady will explain the reason, so that the old slave can have a long insight." ”
"Sanfu, Xiangye had already accepted several concubines before marrying the Ye family, but he always spoiled the Bai family." The old lady also picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip as she spoke, "But since the Ye family entered the mansion, the wind direction has completely changed, and Xiangye quickly left the Bai family behind, and accompanied the Ye family to play chess and tea in the Yunxi Pavilion every day." ”
Back then, when Ning Fanzhi had not yet married Ye Lanshuang, he was quite favored by the Bai family, although the mansion accepted a lot of concubines, but it was still respected by the Bai family, and the Bai family at that time seemed to have the frame of the main mother, and even delusionally imagined in his heart that Ning Fanzhi would one day be able to correct himself.
"The old slave also remembered that when the Ye family had not yet entered the door, Xiangye was also very fond of the Bai family, and even handed over some housekeeping in the backyard to the Bai family, and asked her to help the old lady take care of it." Mama Fu's eyes flashed, and she brought out her recollection, "At that time, the old slave also reminded the old lady that it was really inappropriate for the Bai family to be the housekeeper as a concubine, but the old lady was very unimpressed, and finally complied with the wishes of the prime minister and let the Bai family take care of some of the trivial matters in the prime minister's house." ”
I have to say that the old lady's insight is incomparable to ordinary people, at that time, Ning Fanzhi was fascinated by Bai's appearance, and even entrusted some of the housekeeper's affairs to Bai's hands, Fu Mama is the old lady's confidant, so she naturally wants to mention the old lady from the side.
The old lady listened to the complaints of the aunts in the house, the discussions of the subordinates, and the suggestions of Mama Fu, but she was always indifferent, allowing the Bai family to claim the status of the master mother, and allowing the Bai family to play a vicious way to suppress the aunts below.
Just when Mama Fu thought that Zuo Xiangfu's mansion would have a mess because of the Bai family, Ning Fanzhi, who was proud of the officialdom, fell in love with Ye Lanshuang, the only daughter of Mrs. Ye, at first sight in the poetry club, even if she knelt in the old lady's Ci'an residence in the pouring rain, she also asked the old lady to allow her to marry Ye Lanshuang into the mansion as his wife.
The Ye family is noble, but it is a Qingliu family for generations, and today's Qinggui family is naturally no different from Ning Fanzhi's career, but Ning Fanzhi at that time was really for Ye Lanshuang, and marrying her as a wife became Ning Fanzhi's only wish at that time.
"It is said that the Xiangye back then was indeed confused by Bai's appearance, so he spoiled her for so many years." Mama Fu also watched Ning Fan's cold window study hard for ten years, and once he entered the office, although he could not peek into his heart like the old lady, but he also knew that he had great ambitions, "According to the old slave's determination to marry the Ye family back then, it was really the Ye family's heart, otherwise how could he try to rebel, and wanted to threaten the old lady's mother-son relationship, and he must have married the Ye family as his wife." ”
The old lady was widowed at a young age, and the reason why she didn't remarry was that she didn't want to wronged Ning Fanzhi, if it weren't for the careful cultivation of the old lady, it would not be so easy for Ning Fanzhi to be the top student in high school, so as to glorify Ning's lintel.
The old lady has worked hard for more than ten years to cultivate Ning Fanzhi into a talent, and finally looks forward to his high school champion entering the court, and hopes that she can marry a noble wife and help him rise in his career.
Although the Ye family's family is noble, it is a noble family for generations, and although Ye Taifu is the emperor of the two dynasties, he is a two-sleeved and innocent character. Ning Fanzhi married Ye Lanshuang as his wife, and he really didn't help in his career.
When Ning Fanzhi was infatuated with the Bai family, the old lady was naturally unhappy in her heart, but she also understood in her heart that since ancient times, flowers have not been red for a hundred days, and when the Bai family's appearance bloomed like a flower, Ning Fanzhi would naturally change her mind.
The old lady can let Ning Fanzhi favor the Bai family, and even turn a blind eye to Ning Fanzhi for the Bai family to break the rules of the house, but she can't let Ning Fanzhi grind with Ye's ears and temples day by day, and mix oil in honey, just because the former is fascinated by sex, but the latter is devoted to talent.
At that time, Ning Fanzhi was at the age of officialdom and strength, and after falling in love with Ye Lanshuang, he naturally refused to change his mind easily, but the old lady also knew that if Ning Fanzhi was in a hurry at that time, he was very likely to give up his future for Ye Lanshuang under impulse.
In desperation, the old lady had to agree to Ning Fanzhi's request, relieved Ning Fanzhi to marry Ye Lanshuang into the door, and even went to the door of the Taifu Mansion to marry Ye Lanshuang for Ning Fanzhi.
Mrs. Ye resolutely disagreed with Ye Lanshuang marrying into the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion as his wife at the beginning, Mrs. Ye has never had a clean sleeve, and he has no attachment to power, so he naturally hopes that his beloved daughter can marry into an ordinary scholarly family, not seeking glory and wealth, but only asking for her pearl to be able to love and be happy all her life.
At that time, Ning Fanzhi really loved Ye Lanshuang, and he was really overwhelmed by her talent, but Mrs. Ye was unwilling to marry Ye Lanshuang as if she was gentle on the outside, but Ning Fanzhi was secretly ambitious inside.
The old lady saw that Ning Fanzhi's request to marry Ye Lanshuang was deadlocked, and seeing Ning Fanzhi depressed day by day for Ye Lanshuang, she decided to show an old face and personally come to Ning Fanzhi's request to marry Ye Lanshuang.
It is said that Ning Fanzhi has just entered the official career not long ago, although he relied on his real talent and learning from the old lady to learn from the left and right, and he was like a fish in water in the officialdom, but he was a young talent, from the scientific examination to the official worship of the left minister in just five years, he was sleek and sophisticated, but he didn't know the ambition to converge between the edge and the eyebrows, Mrs. Ye is a generation of noble families, and the daughter only hopes that the person can hold her baby daughter in the palm of her hand, and she also does not want Ye Lanshuang to marry the upstart in the court and get involved in the wealth and nobility.
Thinking that Jiang is still old and spicy, this sentence is really vividly expressed in the old lady, and when Ning Fan was begging to marry Ye Lanshuang, the old lady mentioned him from the side: Instead of blindly asking for marriage, it is better to let Mrs. Ye see his determination to break the boat.
When Ning Fanzhi was struggling to marry Ye Lanshuang, because of the old lady Chen's suggestion, a flash of inspiration appeared in his mind, and then he handed Emperor Qi the fold of wanting to resign, and Emperor Qi at that time stepped on the white bones of his brother and sat on the throne.
Therefore, after Emperor Qi saw the excerpt of Ning Fanzhi's resignation, he naturally wanted to follow the precedent of Corporal Lixian to go to the Zuo Xiang's mansion to visit the thatched house, so Emperor Qi finally understood the reason for Ning Fan's resignation, but it was to be the only daughter of Ye Taifu's baby - Ye Lanshuang.
Emperor Qi knew the reason for Ning Fanzhi's resignation, and in order to leave the talent of the pillars of the court, he immediately summoned Taifu Ye into the palace and persuaded Taifu Mo to hinder a good marriage.
Ye Taifu only has Ye Lanshuang's beloved daughter, so she is naturally spoiled as an eyeball, no matter how Emperor Qi persuades, she is still unwilling to let go and let Ye Lanshuang marry into Taifu's mansion.
Although Emperor Qi wanted to achieve a marriage between Ning Fanzhi and Ye Lanshuang, he couldn't ignore Ye Taifu's intentions, after all, Ye Taifu was a veteran of the two dynasties, and he was also a minister relied on by the emperor, so Emperor Qi naturally couldn't directly give a decree to give marriage.
Although Emperor Qi was afraid of the face of the Emperor Taishang, he did not make an order to match a marriage, but on the grounds of chess, he summoned Ye Taifu into the palace every day to play games.
This Ye Taifu was playing chess with Emperor Qi in Ziyun City, and Ye Lanshuang slipped to the corner gate with the grandmother guarding the mansion on her back and quietly met Ning Fanzhi.
At that time, Ning Fanzhi really loved Ye Lanshuang, although he met Ye Lanshuang without telling Mrs. Ye, he was sticking to the defense of men and women, for the sake of Ye Lanshuang's reputation, he did not cross that threshold every time he met, but told Ye Lanshuang about his love through the door.
Ning Fan's dignified champion Lang is literary and elegant, and he sincerely admires Ye Lanshuang, and every time he asks the maid to hand over to Ye Lanshuang's love poems, they all contain his affection, which makes people cry when they hear it and think about it.
Although Ye Lanshuang is a woman, she is the only daughter of Mrs. Ye, Mrs. Ye is a two-term emperor, she is naturally brilliant, and her daughter's talent is naturally not bad, so every time Ye Lanshuang replies to Ning Fanzhi's poems, he often tosses and turns, and it is difficult to sleep.
More than a month has passed like this, and Emperor Qi will summon Ye Taifu Rugong to play almost every three or five days, and Ning Fanzhi will quietly sneak to the corner gate of Taifu's mansion every day to talk to Ye Lanshuang about his feelings.
For Ye Lanshuang to meet Ning Fanzhi quietly, Ye Taifu naturally would not be completely unaware, but he was also extremely helpless, suffering from nothing to be done, after all, Ye Lanshuang also really belonged to Ning Fanzhi, plus Emperor Qi was playing the side drum from the side.
The old lady Chen saw that Emperor Qi was also trying his best to promote this family affair, coupled with the private meeting between Ye Lanshuang and Ning Fan Zhiyueyu, even if it was separated by a door, it would still damage Ye Lanshuang's reputation after all.
Seeing Emperor Qi, who deliberately matched a good relationship, and Ning Fanzhi, who never changed his original intention, plus the old lady Chen who came to the door to propose marriage five times, Mrs. Ye finally agreed to marry Ye Lanshuang into the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion as his wife.
