Chapter 142: Confrontation between concubines

There is a kind of horror in the inner house, that is, before the servant and maid have become the real confidant of the master's mother, they are asked if they have admiration for the male master, so they secretly have some ulterior intentions.

Qingping inexplicably encountered this terrifying incident today, she immediately felt that her future was in jeopardy, her whole body trembled and knelt on the ground, and she used all her strength to put her palms up, she looked serious and serious, trying to make her expression, words and deeds look sincere and true: "The slave swears by her life, and she doesn't feel that the uncle is hearty and clear!" ”

It happened that Lan Ting stepped into the room and heard this......

What did he do to make the maid who returned from spring so disgusted?

And the question with the anger of getting up was misunderstood, and the pair of master and servant who swore by the curse in a hurry also quickly found out about the presence of the male master, one cried and laughed and the other was drenched in a cold sweat, and they couldn't help but find a crack on the ground and wanted to hide in it for a while.

This little joke kicked off the prelude to the day, how much made Chun Gui a little less nervous about the upcoming tea ceremony, she had actually listened to Lan Ting explain when she was walking in the garden last night, why did the old lady care so much about Lan Ting couldn't wait to gather the clansmen to let Chun Gui recognize her relatives When the old lady received the letter sent back from Fenzhou, she learned that Lan Ting rushed to serve the illness and was married by Mrs. Shen first, so that she and the daughter of the Jin State Mansion who saw her granddaughter-in-law missed each other, and a grievance can be imagined.

And because she took it for granted that an orphan girl from a broken household was not as good as the little toe of the daughter of the Guogong Mansion, and she must be disliked by Lan Ting, so the old lady didn't think about informing her relatives and friends at all, but she was sharpening her knife Huo Huo's plan to wait for Lan Ting to go home, and immediately find a bride to find a wrong place and break off a letter of resignation, maybe she can also save the marriage with the Jin State Mansion.

Although the old lady was tempted through the Peng family, and she also understood that this plan to quickly cut through the chaos would probably not work, she didn't expect that Lan Ting would gather the clansmen to recognize her relatives so quickly, wouldn't she make her defeat and plan public?

"It's okay to be in another position, it's the second uncle and grandmother I once mentioned to you, when I was about to marry the boudoir, I had some dislike with my grandmother, and for most of my life, the two old ladies had to fight each other, and my grandmother was afraid that her mind would be seen through by the second uncle and grandmother, and she would be squeezed by her uncle and grandmother." Lan Ting explained the cause and effect of this as if nothing happened, as if the person who cheated his grandmother had nothing to do with him by a hair.

Chungui realized that today's confession ceremony might have another sword and sword, but he had to be careful not to be injured by mistake.

On the way to Xuan Zhutang, Chun Gui silently reviewed the personnel he had heard from Mrs. Shen and Lan Ting.

Zhao Taishi inherited the throne of Xuan Zhutang as the eldest son, and now there are two grandparents alive, the second uncle and Zhao Taishi are brothers of the same mother, and the fourth uncle is the cousin of Zhao Taishi. In other words, according to the blood relationship, the relationship between the second uncle's family and the Taishi Mansion is the closest.

The second uncle and grandmother are from a scholarly family, and have three sons and two daughters, although the eldest son is younger than Zhao Zhizhou, he and his cousin participated in the examination that year, and his score was much higher than that of his cousin......

So in the round of "competition" of the eldest son, the eldest lady lost to the second old lady, and for the women in the house, the eldest son is undoubtedly the most important round of "competition", so the eldest lady is worried about it, and at the same time feels that she is a head shorter, the more

In front of the second old lady, she reduced her confidence.

As for the three aunts in the next room of the second uncle's family, Mrs. Shen and Lan Ting did not elaborate on their origins and temperaments, so they could only slowly explore and experience it by Chun Gui.

And in line with the strategy of "catching the thief and capturing the king first", the aunt was not the top priority, as long as Chungui won the recognition and love of the second uncle and grandmother, there was no need to worry that the close relatives of this family would be critical and harsh on her, and even hoped to get another respectful protection, even her own old lady was so jealous of the second uncle and grandmother, Mrs. Peng, the nephew and daughter-in-law, must not dare to be arrogant.

So Chungui's attention was focused on the second uncle and grandmother, and to her surprise, the old lady seemed to be more amiable.

But there is no rich heaven and earth pavilion like the old lady, although the skin on the face is inevitably a little saggy, and it can be seen that it is a goose egg face, what attracts attention is the extremely spiritual and clear eyebrows and eyes, which should have a sharp aura, but because of the gentleness of her expression and tone, there is no compelling trend, she doesn't say much, and there is a smile on her face, but she barely looks at the old lady in the opinion of Chun Guiliu, which is a little convinced that the gap between the concubines is estranged.

The expected scene of swords and swords did not appear, and the whole confession ceremony went exceptionally smoothly, and the spring return finally breathed a sigh of relief and completely relaxed.

Unexpectedly, something happened at this time.

The reason is that the old lady was negligent that Zhao Xiaoliu did not follow Lan Ting back to the capital because she focused on Chun Gui yesterday, and it was only under the reminder of Mama Su that she remembered that her little grandson had not visited her grandmother at the first time after a long time, and she inquired suspiciously, only to know that Zhao Xiaoliu had not returned to Beijing at all, but it was late at that time, and the old lady could not call Lan Ting to go to her courtyard for interrogation for a fait accompli.

So he waited until this time and said: "Brother Xie is the most inseparable from your brother, he was forced by his aunt to stay in Fenyang, I don't know how to cry this time, according to me, it is better to send someone to take Brother Xie back." ”

Mrs. Peng was also surprised when she heard her mother-in-law speak: "Why was Brother Xie left in Fenyang?" Sister-in-law, this is ...... Although it is said that the mother can't give up her own flesh and blood, but Brother Xie is about to reach the age of enlightenment, and he casually invites a gentleman in Fenyang, and the uncle is still busy with government affairs, so it is inevitable that he can't care about it, how can he compare to the eldest brother Ting'er to supervise his studies. "It's still a matter of order, but I didn't forget to provoke Lan Ting: "Brother Ting'er don't complain about the eldest lady, just say that Lantai and Lange have been closer to the eldest brother than me as a mother since childhood, and the second aunt also ate Brother Ting'er's vinegar at that time." ”

This kind of provocation with a sense of joking is undoubtedly the most suitable for the current occasion, although Chun Gui heard Mrs. Peng's ill intentions, but of course it will not be unfair for Mrs. Shen, she is still unable to protect herself, and the matter of thanksgiving is still left for the future.

And as for the reason why Zhao Xiaoliu did not return to Beijing, Chun Gui knew very well, and she expected that Lan Ting would not stand idly by.

Sure enough, I listened to him: "It is my idea to let the sixth brother stay in Fenyang, it is for the sake of the sixth brother's studies, I am about to take the exam, I am afraid that I don't have so much time to urge him, and Mr. Yin is also in Fenyang, and he enlightens the sixth brother, but he can save another Xixi." ”

This response once again surprised the old lady and Mrs. Peng, but compared to the old lady's obvious dissatisfaction, Mrs. Peng kept silent with flickering eyes, not knowing what thoughts were secretly turning.

"Even if you want to take the exam and focus more on your career in the future, there is no one at home who can supervise Brother Xie'er's studies! Although Mr. Yin is the master of Min Gong, he did not participate in the examination, and no one can guarantee that he is qualified enough to be the teacher of Brother Xie, I have asked your uncle to keep an eye on Brother Xie for him......"

The second uncle and grandmother interrupted the old lady's words at this time: "Sister-in-law, what I said is as if An Luhou once took the exam and was named on the gold list, how can I guarantee that I can see people?" Although Mr. Yin is not on the path of career advancement, his talent and knowledge are appreciated even by Uncle and Min Gong, so why can't he guarantee that he is qualified as a teacher of Brother Xie? ”

The image of warmth and ze, which had just been established in the consciousness of Chungui earlier, immediately collapsed, and the edge of the second uncle and grandmother was like a sharp sword out of its sheath.

The old lady stared at the old woman for a while, and actually turned her face in a different direction, trying to persuade Lan Ting as usual: "Let's not talk about your studies, you don't know Brother Xie'er's temperament, the most respectful is your eldest brother, he can't listen to anyone but you, this time you can't help but say that you stayed in Fenyang, and didn't make a fuss?" He's still so young, how can he be born when he cries and hurts his body. ”

Chun Guixin said: Zhao Xiaoliu's overlord will indeed turn the Fenzhou Prefecture upside down, just look at his sturdy little body, how could he be injured by his own crying, but the eldest lord and Mrs. Shen will have a headache.

"It is precisely because the sixth brother is too willful that he can't continue to be arrogant." Lan Ting was indifferent.

"That's why I said let him come back to the capital, and your uncle will discipline him......"

"Sister-in-law, the more you say this, the more ridiculous it becomes." The second uncle and grandmother joined the fight again.

Chungui lowered her eyelids: The old lady's words seemed to be interrupted by someone with a great chance, and she almost never said it completely, this ...... It seems that the prestige of the highest elder of the Taishi Mansion is greatly lacking.

She continued to watch the game.

"Brother Xie has all parents, and there is no shortage of teachers, where can I bother An Luhou?" The second uncle and grandmother's eyebrows were crooked, but it did not affect her sharp momentum at all.

The old lady looked like she was going to avoid the end, but she still looked at Lan Ting unswervingly: "Brother Xie has a mother-in-law, isn't his temperament more and more arrogant?" It turned out that I didn't finish my words in a hurry just now, and I didn't completely entrust Brother Xie to your uncle's supervision, usually my grandmother urged him, and your uncle just helped. ”

"Sister-in-law, don't be so complacent, sister-in-law's temperament is much more than that of the eldest nephew and daughter-in-law, if it weren't for the sister-in-law's wanton interference in recent years, Brother Xie would not be so willful, even his father and mother dare to confront him in person, and only Lan Ting can restrain him."

Spring Return: !!

Although it is said that there are no outsiders here, and there is no worry about the ugliness of the family, in front of so many juniors, the second uncle and grandmother directly revealed the competition between the old lady and Mrs. Shen, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and such a fierce combat effectiveness can be described as unparalleled in the world.

The old lady finally couldn't bear it anymore, and stared at the second uncle and grandmother again for a while, before she said aggrievedly: "Brother and sister mean that I can't discipline my children and grandchildren?" ”

"Why does my sister-in-law think that she has this ability? If you are not convinced, I only ask you one thing, who was Lan Zheng injured and why? ”

Chungui watched the old lady die down, and dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak.
