Chapter 690: Return to the capital
When Xiao Shen faced his eldest daughter-in-law again, his mood was really mixed.
So much so that after she was stunned for a long time, she accepted Guo's mother's "eyebrow flirtation", her eyelashes fluttered twice, and she stretched out her enthusiastic hands: "I haven't seen you for a long time, Chun'er is a lot more marked than Fenyang, alas, this is really, how else to say that the eighteenth change of the female university, Chun'er is not yet eighteen?" In another year and a half, it will really not even be comparable to the immortals! A pair of apricot eyes stared at the spring return and sprayed bright light outward, and his fingers also used force: "At that time, you still had some soft calluses on your hands, and now you can't feel it at all, how do you maintain it?" Sergeant Ruan is still coming back with you this time, no need to be formal, hurry up and invite Sergeant Ruan to come, our mother and three good students will talk about their son, and it will not be too late to go to see the old lady next day. ”
Spring Return: ......
Guo's mother: ......
"Mrs. Tai is also looking forward to seeing the eldest grandmother when she returns home, so Mrs. should be serious first." Guo's mother was really helpless, so she said it so obviously.
Xiao Shen sighed: "That's it, who made the old lady a respectful elder, and she still has to be scrupulous in terms of face." He took Chun Hui all the way to the Hesitant Garden, but his steps dragged on, and he didn't forget to say a small word: "Chun'er's uncle's cousin, but I have lived with the old lady for a while, the old lady's thoughts, I feel ashamed to say it, I actually want Brother Ting to accept the Li family aunt as a concubine, it's really a shame that the old lady can say it, don't say that the Li family aunt and Chun'er are uncles and cousins, so there is no such relationship, she is a woman who has fallen out with the family and the family, where does she have this qualification?" The old lady pulled the Li family, nothing more than to disgust our mother, I bluntly refused, but the old lady still didn't give up, maybe I will bring up the old words again today, you have a preparation in your heart, and you don't have to worry too much, the horizontal and vertical court brother is facing you, and the collision is also the collision, the old lady doesn't take care of this matter, that is, she herself speaks out, and outsiders will laugh at her for acting too absurd. ”
Chun Gui saw that Guo's mother was so anxious that her eyes were about to pop out, but Xiao Shen seemed to be unaware, and she also felt secretly funny in her heart.
The old lady has not changed much from a year ago, her gray sideburns have never been dyed black, her decadent complexion has not improved, and her physique has still not lost weight, but this son looks more and more like puffiness and does not see wealth, and her gaze will naturally not become soft, but her eyes are blank, and there is not much sharp pain when she cuts it.
The spring return is only back to the Taishi Mansion today, and Lan Ting first visited the elders of the clan, and the old lady can only be dealt with by her.
Courtesy is inevitable, and there is only courtesy.
The old lady really took the lead in making trouble: "Since you are back, let me get to the point first, you have been married into the Taishi Mansion for nearly three years, and you have not raised a man and a half woman under your knees, so you will not still refuse to nod and take a concubine, right?" Before you and Lan Ting went to Nanjing, I took charge of raising He Rou as an aunt, but after all, He Rou was a slave, and because of your slander, Lan Ting didn't treat her very well, and she was an aunt who was probably in name only in the future.
Gu's, another daughter-in-law, but if the husband is in office, even if there is half a point of virtuousness, he will handle the concubine for the husband, I see that you do not follow the three and four virtues, and I don't expect you to go to Nanjing to understand these etiquette, I will be the master for you, Wan Niang is your cousin, I also value her virtuous and filial piety, your sisters and two husbands together, so as not to make trouble again, although she is reconciled, but the fault is not on her, I believe you will not slander your cousin, you listen well, immediately in the rebuke of the eagle house, clean up the two wings, Place Wan Niang and Rou respectively, and draw up a charter, which of your wives and concubines will serve Lan Ting on which days in January, it must be fair. ”
Where is the tone of discussion, it is simply to give orders.
"Mrs. Tai, please forgive me, my granddaughter-in-law can't obey her fate." Chungui protested directly.
"You!" The old lady's prepared anger suddenly burst out: "You dare to be so jealous!" Dalang's daughter-in-law, you are Gu's mother-in-law, do you still have to wait for me to discipline such a jealous woman! ”
Chun Gui's heart moved, and it seemed that ...... The old lady should have reached some kind of agreement with Empress Shen.
"Mrs. Tai, I said a long time ago that Mrs. Tai's idea is inappropriate, virtuous and filial? Where does the Li family embody virtue and filial piety? If she wants to be really virtuous, she will not insist on reconciliation and divorce knowing that her husband is being slandered, she is really filial, and she will not disobey her mother's orders and insist on acting recklessly. ”
Xiao Shen's response was once again unexpected.
"And he said gently." Xiao Shen continued to play: "Brother Ting'er doesn't hate her for nothing, and even if she is gentle and innocent, there is no common saying, only marriage listens to the orders of parents, where is the saying that concubines have the orders of their parents, it is inappropriate for Mrs. Tai to force Brother Ting'er to take concubines, not to mention that Brother Ting'er is still the head of the Xuanzhuo Hall, it is Mrs. Tai...... If it weren't for Brother Ting'er's filial piety, he refused to open the ancestral hall and read Weng's father's will in public...... Mrs. Tai has to go back to the Jiang family, what power does she have to decide. ”
The words almost didn't choke the old lady, and she didn't blink to death.
Chun Gui had nothing to say, so Xiao Shen pulled her out.
But in front of the hesitant garden, Xiao Shen said goodbye to Chungui: "No one lives in the garden these times, although there have been servants and maids sprinkling and sweeping, after all, you still need to take care of it yourself, I won't delay you, quickly settle the trivialities, and the two of us will talk about it another day." ”
Chun Gui smiled and thanked him.
After Guo's mother followed Xiao Shen back to the courtyard, she immediately closed the door and questioned: "How can Mrs. Tai contradict Mrs. Tai?" Didn't Madame forget the queen's advice? Madame should cooperate with Mrs. Tai......"
"Mother Guo, you have also followed me for all these years, I have a sentence to ask you, are you loyal to the queen or me?" Xiao Shen also smiled at this time, and his eyes were like frost.
"The queen mother and her wife are blood relatives......"
"Hell blood relatives, I've lived all these years, and I'm finally alive." Xiao Shen sneered: "Yes, there is no sister elected to the harem, my mother is in the world, I have no hope of marrying into a big family with a surname, I should receive her love and be grateful to her, but I was not obedient enough to her in the past?" She designed the Zhu family and let me marry into the Taishi Mansion, I was innocent, and I took on the reputation of stalking for no reason, until now there are still people who say that I do not abide by women's morals, and I killed the Zhu family and robbed the Zhu family's marriage!
For her, I have been slandered all my life, and I admit it, and I still work hard to consolidate the status of the emperor's eldest grandson for her, but in the end, what good will I do? She even accused me of being stupid and useless! Yes, I brokered Gu Chungui to marry Lan Ting, didn't I get her approval for this matter? How could I have expected that the Gu family had such a great ability, which led to such a result! ”
The more Xiao Shen spoke, the more angry he became, and his eyes turned red: "She is my own sister, and she actually said that she would get Brother Xie into Nantai to serve the emperor's eldest grandson!" She is trying to coerce me, and she will control her all her life, so I will just give it up, but I will be a flesh and blood brother, and I will never let Brother Xie and the emperor's eldest grandson be imprisoned in Nantai together! ”
With a "bang", it was Xiao Shen who suddenly smashed the tea cup on the case: "No one can threaten me to pay Brother Xie for life, she is the queen, and she can't be my sister!" From the day she took Brother Xie away from me, she was no longer my sister but my mortal enemy! Who can I rely on? Who else can I rely on? Only Lan Ting can save Brother Xie, who else can I help if I don't help Lan Ting?! ”
Guo's mother was stunned.
