Chapter 264: The Queen Mother's Intention
Master and servant have been with each other for most of his life, and the lord of Fuling knows that Mama Wei is not a person who is honest and untargeted.
Mama Wei said cautiously: "Old lady, the slave maid thinks, there are a total of six masters who came to Liaodong this time, except for the five princes, the others have a great relationship with the lord of Mingzhu. ”
"Tell me about it?"
"Old lady, Gu Gongzi is the cousin of the Lord of Mingzhu County, and the brothers and sisters of the Zhong family are cousins of the Lord of Mingzhu County. If it is mainly based on the five princes, it is impossible that he does not have a confidant? ”
Mama Wei also asked them in private, knowing that Xiao Yao actually had a lot of contact with the Lord of Mingzhu.
Lord Fuling was shocked and puzzled: "But I heard Yao'er say that he once went to ask the Empress Dowager Zhong in person, but was rejected by the Empress Dowager?" ”
"Think about it, old lady. The Queen Mother is like a baby, and the lord of Mingzhu, who grew up in the palm of her hand, will she agree to marry because the young master went to ask for marriage? What's more, the young master has both parents, and you, the grandmother, have not expressed their desire to marry, and the Queen Mother will not easily agree to marry. ”
Mama Wei thought about it over and over again, the county lord of Mingzhu came to Shenzhou, and everything he did was for the young master.
Except for the young master of Mingzhu County, she couldn't think of any other reason.
Lord Fuling fell into deep thought, this matter can be big or small, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and it is also an opportunity with unpredictable blessings and misfortunes. Further soar to the top, bless the descendants, take a step back to wipe out the family, and die without a place to be buried.
After pondering for a long time, the Lord of Fuling rubbed his temples and frowned: "But I didn't see it, the Lord of Mingzhu County likes Yao'er?" ”
"Old lady, the county lord of Mingzhu is still young, maybe the queen mother just asked her to take the young master into consideration. Perhaps, this time it was to let the Lord of Mingzhu come to see the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, so he let the second son of Gu go along. ”
Mama Wei once inadvertently saw the young master looking at the back of the county lord of Mingzhu and lost his mind.
She knew that in the young master's heart, there must be the shadow of the pearl county lord, and she hoped that the young master could get what he wanted. What's more, no matter what aspect the Mingzhu County Lord is, he is a perfect match with the young master.
Lord Fuling still wavered, thought for a while and said in a low voice, "Ah Rui, why don't we give it a try?" ”
"Old lady, how do you try?"
Lord Fuling pondered for a moment and ordered: "You go and let out the news, I will send out twenty chrysanthemum posts this time, which is to choose a wife for Xiao Yao." If you are interested in receiving an invitation, please come and participate in the invitation. If the lord of Mingzhu has a heart, he will naturally behave. ”
Mama Wei nodded and smiled: "At that time, the lord of Mingzhu County will definitely be dressed up to attend, and he will be beautiful." ”
"I'm not just tempting the lord of Mingzhu, if the queen mother has a heart, Gu Shinian and Zhong Zibin, someone will definitely visit me before the chrysanthemum banquet."
The county lord of Fuling believes that if Empress Dowager Zhong intends to include Xiao Yao in the selection of the husband of the lord of Mingzhu County, no one will think about marrying before the lord of Mingzhu County has not been selected.
Mama Wei smiled, added a cup of tea for the Lord of Fuling, and said with a smile: "The slave will wait and see." ”
Lord Fuling's guess was right, after two days of calm, on the first night of the chrysanthemum banquet, Gu Shinian, the second son of the Guanwen Marquis Mansion, asked to see him.
Mama Wei personally welcomed him in, Gu Shinian had just bowed and saluted, and the Lord of Fuling had already said in a loud voice: "Hurry up, hurry up, don't be polite." ”
Gu Shinian still did enough courtesy, then took the gift box from Mingmo's hand, handed it over and said, "Old lady, Mingzhu and I came to Liaodong this time to cause you trouble." This is a small gift prepared by my father, and I ask the old lady to accept it. ”
Lord Fuling hurriedly asked Mama Wei to accept it, and smiled happily.
"Guan Wenhou and Gu Er Gongzi are too polite, you are all distinguished guests. Being able to come to my Xiao Mansion is already a blessing that makes us flourish and can't even ask for it. ”
Gu Shinian arched his hand and said, "Old lady, you're polite." We came all the way to harass us without prior notice, and it was ours who didn't. ”
The lord of Fuling County looked at Gu Shinian's handsome appearance, and praised a few more words, and Gu Shinian's ears were red when he was praised.
Busy said: "Old lady, Xiao Yao and I are good friends, and the Queen Mother and the emperor also appreciate him. Naturally, we should be closer to each other, and everyone hopes that this friendship will last forever. ”
"This is natural, when Yao'er was in the capital, she was taken care of by you, and the old body was grateful. looked forward to Xiao Yao's meritorious achievements and the honor of the emperor's marriage, and the Xiao family was grateful. ”
The county lord of Fuling quickly expressed his position, and Gu Shinian was still afraid that the county lord of Fuling would not understand, so he said tentatively: "Then I don't know who the old lady is for tomorrow's chrysanthemum banquet?" ”
"Let the second son smile, my third grandson Xiao Yong is one year older than Yao'er. His mother-in-law is frail, and his biological mother can't go on the stage, so he can only be managed by me, an old woman. ”
Lord Fuling's answer made Gu Shinian very satisfied, and he left with a smile after a while.
After Gu Shinian left, the lord of Fuling County breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Ah Rui, you are right, the Queen Mother has taken a fancy to Yao'er. It's not that I'm boasting, and I can't find anyone in the capital who is more civil and military than Yao'er. ”
Mama Wei's face was full of smiles, and she said happily: "That's it, the Queen Mother has a really good eye." ”
Lord Fuling was happy for a while, then slowly smiled, and sighed: "It's a pity, Mingzhu is too small, and it will take at least three years to get married." In case the sixth prince becomes the prince, there will be too many variables. ”
Mama Wei doesn't know how to weigh the pros and cons so much, she only knows that what the young master likes is good, so she can't understand the entanglement of the Fuling County Lord.
"Ah Rui, go and see, is Yao'er here?"
Since Xiao Yao returned to Liaodong, he would come every night to greet the lord of Fuling County. However, due to Xie's poor health, he usually goes to Xie's place first and then comes to Kangning Hospital.
Mama Wei was about to go out to ask, when she heard the little girl report: "Old lady, Madam and the fourth young master are here." ”
Xie Shi actually went out?
The county lord of Fuling was startled, and hurriedly got up and walked two steps, and sure enough, Xiao Yao supported his mother Xie Shi and walked in slowly step by step.
"You're not well, it's so cold, what are you doing here? What is there for Yao'er to say, even if I can come over, why go in person? ”
Although the Lord of Fuling was full of reproach, his words were distressed.
Xie Shi's face was pale, but his complexion was not bad, and he smiled and saluted: "Mother is generous, let me be lazy as a daughter-in-law, and my daughter-in-law is grateful." It's just that I feel in good spirits today, so I want to come over and say hello to my mother. ”
Xiao Yao watched her mother say a few more words, beads of sweat were already on her forehead, and she hurriedly helped her sit down on the chair next to her, and poured a cup of honey water.
"Yes, sit down. Ah Rui, go and open the back window, there is smoke from the brazier, and Madame can't stand it. ”
As soon as Lord Fuling's words fell, Xie Shi was already coughing. Fortunately, the honey had already been served, and she drank several sips before she could suppress the dry itch in her throat.
