Ju Xi looked at the uncle's self-reliance today, and almost without thinking about it, he made the judgment that the hostess "didn't have a good time for long" and began to sleep and be lazy again, thinking that the eldest grandmother personally gave and repeatedly emphasized the privilege of letting her supervise and remind, so he didn't take the uncle's explanation of "don't wake up the eldest grandmother too early" seriously, and was preparing to suddenly attack and exert her lion's roar magic skills, mercilessly laughing and punishing the eldest grandmother's weak will, but I didn't expect that when the tent was lifted, I saw such a strange scene.
After staring at each other for a while, Ju Xi climbed into bed and lay down close to look at Chun Gui: "Grandma won't be awkward with the uncle, right?" ”
Chungui looked at her angrily: "So obvious? ”
"Really?" Ju shy "tsk" twice: "This is rare!" When the slave maid was serving the grandmother to wash up last night, I saw that your expression was not very happy, your face was clouded with lightning and thunder, and the uncle's words were less than usual, so I guessed in my heart that you two had a dispute? I just couldn't believe it, and it was the slave who was too careful, but I didn't think it was really awkward. ”
She was still lying on her stomach in front of Chungui, her eyes were rolling around for a while, and she suddenly straightened her spine: "Isn't it, the uncle is not happy because of the marriage between His Royal Highness the Sixth and Miss Dong, and the eldest grandmother is jealous?" ”
Without waiting for Chungui to respond, Ju Xi talked about the basis for her judgment: "Nothing else happened yesterday, the eldest grandmother has always been broad-minded, and trivial things will not be taken to heart, the slave and maid think about it, and there is only the possibility of being jealous, and the uncle is really, although the Duke of Jin did intend to marry the Taishi Mansion in the past, even if the eldest lady made a hindrance from it, the uncle himself didn't insist on it, right?" Now I feel annoyed, no wonder the grandmother is not happy. ”
"What nonsense!" Only then did Chun Gui stop Ju Xi from continuing to use her imagination, and stretched out her foot to kick her gently.
But I can't help but "think wildly" in my head, wondering if I am really jealous? This is really unreasonable, she knows Zhao Xiu's intentions, and for the sake of the overall situation, she has long decided to refuse the good intentions of the Duke of Jin, otherwise no matter how Mrs. Shen interferes with it, Zhao Xiushu will not be at the mercy of it. How could he be depressed because Miss Dong married someone else?
He is by no means jealous, he should see that Zhao Xiushu is bored alone but unable to do anything, and he doesn't know why he is bored so he can't solve problems at all, so he is annoyed and dissatisfied, in the final analysis, he is blaming himself - Chungui decisively chose this "virtuous and virtuous" reason for himself as a footnote, and refused to admit the mistake of being vexatious.
But it seems that Uncle Zhao shouldn't be complained about anymore?
Chungui decided not to delve into the root of this sulking, she is a generous person, just like Ju Sha said that she has always been broad-hearted, since she has chosen not to ask Uncle Zhao why he is dissatisfied with the fact that the sixth prince is about to marry Miss Dong, he should not think crankily about making petty sex, a night of sulking is enough to destroy the body and mind, and continuing to make fire is not conducive to the beauty plan.
When I returned from the routine morning examination in the garden, I heard that Tang Hui asked to see him, only to see him offer a tray of silver taels with white flowers, and said that it was on the order of the uncle: "The uncle said that since Mrs. Yi wants to recognize the eldest grandmother as a righteous daughter, she will definitely officially organize a recognition banquet, first, the eldest grandmother will prepare a gift to the relatives of Dong and Yi, and since the eldest grandmother has the name of sister with Miss Dong, she will be more generous when adding makeup. Make a list of well-known silk jewelry and other shops in the capital to facilitate the preparation of gifts for grandmothers. ”
Chun Gui was not pleasing by this plate of silver ingots, thinking that although Lan Ting didn't mention it last night, he didn't mention Mrs. Yi's recognition of her as her goddaughter, I was afraid that this matter didn't need to be discussed anymore, and it wasn't just because of the inexplicable troubles that I didn't care about at all. When I think about returning from spring in this way, I feel even more that I am making a fuss and sulking all night for no reason.
So he was unilaterally annoyed, and unilaterally reconciled, planning to personally cook a few of Lan Ting's favorite dishes tonight to show his sincerity in turning hostility into friendship.
It was just that the mood of turning anger into joy did not last long, when Chungui listened to the teachings at Sergeant Ruan's temporary residence as usual, and was still drinking tea with Sergeant Ruan in the pavilion in the small courtyard, listening to her talk about the Empress Dowager Shengde's collection of books in the past, there were a few very interesting ones, and the uninvited guest Mrs. Peng fell from the sky.
I don't know what kind of mentality this person has, he has always ignored Sergeant Ruan, as if he didn't treat Sergeant Ruan as a guest, but today he was full of smiles, first shushing and asking for warmth, followed by polite and cold noise, and his intentions were quite obvious. Chun Guizheng guessed whether Aunt Peng had a request for Sergeant Ruan? I saw that the second aunt aimed her enthusiastic smile at her.
Based on his consistent understanding of Mrs. Peng, he entered a state of preparation for war when he returned to the spring.
"My sister-in-law came to visit the door last day, talking about her niece, although she is not a girl from the official eunuch family, but she also knows how to answer gifts and look good, and my sister-in-law wants to be a matchmaker for my niece, and said that I will make a second ......room for our family brother" Speaking of this, she paused deliberately, and looked at Chungui with a smile.
Chun Gui was very calm and kept his ears listening.
Mrs. Peng had no choice but to continue her self-talk: "My mother's sister-in-law is indeed a good intention, thinking that in the Taishi Mansion, whether it is the eldest uncle or the second master, after the appointment, there are relatives who take concubines to add joy, and Brother Ting is the third yuan and the first, what a glory is this?" It is more necessary to follow the customs, but Brother Ting's daughter-in-law has not been in Beijing for a long time, and there are few relatives and friends of the family to help her, so it is inconvenient to inquire which door has a girl who has not been out of the cabinet, and it is even more difficult to know the temperament and conduct of the other party.
My sister-in-law thought, Brother Ting is like this, Tian Xi's matter naturally can't be too casual, the concubine is from a good background, and the girls in the Shangjia family should not be considered, although her aunt is not married to the official eunuch family, but the husband's family is also a cultivator, and she doesn't want her daughter to be a concubine, but Brother Ting is different from ordinary after all, if Brother Ting's daughter-in-law comes forward to hire on behalf of the Taishi Mansion, it will not be considered an insult to the girl of his family, and it can even be called a beautiful talk.
But I know in my heart that our family has always not cared about those false names, and we also see the difference between the noble and the low a lot lightly, let's just say Brother Ting, and never treat Harmony as a slave, knowing that the eldest sister-in-law has long chosen Harmony to be his housekeeper, and she is usually respected, Brother Ting's daughter-in-law is not in a hurry to take care of the concubine for Brother Ting'er, and naturally she has identified Harmony early on, so I didn't agree to my sister-in-law's proposal, but my sister-in-law was annoyed, and I was forced to be helpless, so I told her these inside information. ”
Halfway through this gushing discussion, Mrs. Peng paused again, seeing that Chungui was still indifferent, and there was no anger and didn't want to talk at all, as if this matter had nothing to do with her, Mrs. Peng secretly sneered, took a sip of tea, and continued slowly: "My sister-in-law listened to my explanation, so she didn't get annoyed anymore, and only reminded me that 'although only one concubine from a slave background is how simple and slow, it is impossible to lose the joy of this feast, but fortunately, there is a statement of respecting Xianci's last wishes, but it will not cause slander, But since your grandmother has this idea, she should quickly take care of it
, save the world from talking about her unreasonable, and bear the charge of being jealous and intolerable, who doesn't know that Grandma Ting has both the favor of the Empress Dowager Shengde and the praise of the queen's mother, causing gossip is not only related to her own body'.
When I heard this, I woke up, and I also knew that I was not the serious elder of Brother Ting's daughter-in-law, I was just an aunt who should not overstep the line, but who let the eldest lady be far away in Fenyang now, it is very inconvenient to remind you of these things, so I have to worry about it, today I am in a hurry to find you, and I am disturbing Sergeant Ruan's teaching, just to ask you, when do you plan to officially give Herou the name, are you worried that only giving Brother Ting'er a concubine is not enough to add joy? Brother Ting's daughter-in-law is planning to release the harmony first, so that it is convenient to entertain relatives and friends, you will inform me and I will help you handle it, this matter is indeed not suitable for delay. ”
After speaking, he stared at Chungui with a motherly smile: I don't believe that this can't anger you!
Spring return was indeed excited.
Of course, she didn't want to take a concubine for Lan Ting, at least she didn't want to take the initiative to take a concubine, and she never scoffed at the practice of achieving a good name by taking the initiative to take a concubine, even if she knew that the world was sophistication and popularity, she didn't think that taking the initiative to take a concubine was a perfect strategy, not to mention that she didn't like Herou in the first place, not to mention that after the snooping of the canal, she understood that once Herou became the result of the Lan Ting's concubine, she was likely to die violently, she didn't want to be on guard at any time against the conspiracy and tricks of those ill-intentioned people in the Taishi Mansion against Herou, life was already cumbersome enough, Why does she want to escort Herou?
The most convenient way is to marry another person and let her leave the sinister place of the Taishi Mansion as soon as possible, but Uncle Zhao obviously does not have such an idea, so at least let He Rou stay in the study of the outer courtyard, which is beyond the reach of her whip, and she does not have to worry about others assassinating and marrying her.
So Chungui didn't have to weigh the benefits and disadvantages at this time, and responded directly: "Auntie, this is misunderstood, at that time, when Cao's mother insisted that her mother-in-law's last wish was to let Herou be the uncle's concubine, I asked the uncle for verification, and the uncle said that this was all made up by Cao's mother, and the uncle was still young when the mother-in-law passed away, and according to the family motto of the Taishifu, it is strictly forbidden for children to violate the law, where will the mother-in-law consider letting the uncle take a concubine?" The uncle told his nephew and daughter-in-law that Herou was just a maid selected by her mother-in-law for her, not only did her mother-in-law have no intention, but even the uncle never thought of accepting Herou as a concubine. ”
Mrs. Peng also immediately put away her motherly smile: "Brother Ting's daughter-in-law, this can't be nonsense, even the old lady acquiesced to the title of Aunt Herou sooner or later, and said Brother Ting'er, if you really don't have this idea, how can you delay Herou's marriage, no matter what, Herou is the righteous daughter of Brother Ting's nursing mother, looking at this affection, Brother Ting'er can't ignore Herou's lifelong events." Again...... Uncle Zhu's wife also proposed last time that if Brother Ting really doesn't like Herou, it is better to let Herou go to Zhu's house, and Cao's mother will find another home for Herou, but Brother Ting didn't pay attention to his uncle's suggestion?
Brother Ting's daughter-in-law, you are still young now, I am afraid that because my father has never taken a concubine, so I still have the so-called obsession of a lifetime and a couple, but after all, you married into the Taishi Mansion, and Brother Ting'er is not in vain at the moment, whether it is national law or etiquette, it is reasonable for Brother Ting'er to take a concubine, you can't be willful, otherwise...... Not to mention hindering the reputation of the Empress Dowager Shengde and the Empress Dowager, even Sergeant Ruan will be implicated by you. ”
Mrs. Peng turned her face and smiled at Sergeant Ruan: "Who doesn't know Sergeant Ruan's character, Shu Niangzi kindly asked Sergeant Ruan to teach and guide you in the rules of morality, if you have a reputation for jealousy, won't the world think that Sergeant Ruan has failed in his responsibility to supervise the church?" ”
