Chapter 208: Xiao Wall (4)
Small talk with Xie An's wife? That's a lot of face to do. Da Liu only felt that he had not gossiped with outsiders for many years, and it was basically said by others, she just listened to it, and now she wanted her to gossip about the queen mother in person, and talk about some royal family affairs with others, it was really a little difficult for her.
However, she swore that she had just slapped her chest in front of her son, and naturally she couldn't back down at this time.
She thought about it for a while, and finally said, "If you talk about the court, I don't know much about it. ”
Xiao Liu was immediately very disappointed, and her disdainful expression immediately appeared, and she wanted to leave immediately.
Da Liu continued: "However, I know a little about things related to the Queen Mother. ”
Dong'er hurriedly joked: "But I don't know what the Queen Mother is busy with now?" Because Huan Xuan often claims to be in the palace to do errands, this matter is what Xiao Liu wants to know the most, Dong'er is familiar with the master's heart, so she naturally asked for her what she was embarrassed to ask.
Da Liu's face was a little embarrassed, and he lowered his voice and said: "There have been some rumors in the palace recently, one is that the queen mother said that she asked the king of Huiji to live in the palace, but in fact, she put the king of Huiji under house arrest, just to find a reason to fight against each other, and then naturally the queen mother will be in charge, and major internal and external affairs will fall into the hands of the Taiyuan Wang family." ”
Although this was a big deal, Xiao Liu was not interested, she asked anxiously, "What else is going on?" ”
Da Liu was even more embarrassed, and persuaded softly: "Sister, there are things in the world that can be done and things that cannot be done, and many things cannot be forced. ”
Xiao Liu heard it in a fog and asked, "What my sister said, why can't my sister understand it?" What are you referring to? ”
Da Liu said in a tricky way: "My sister will know sooner or later, and now outsiders are just speculation." ”
Xiao Liu asked, "Could it be that this matter also has something to do with my family?" ”
Da Liu didn't answer, but the look on his face was not misunderstood, naturally it was related to Huan Mansion, especially related to Huan Xuan.
What can the Queen Mother have to do with the Huan Mansion, and make outsiders talk about it in private but dare not say it clearly?
Xiao Liu hurriedly asked: "Could it be that my husband also participated in the affairs of the Queen Mother's plan to meet the king?" ”
Da Liu smiled and replied: "Sister should be like this, Duke Huan naturally participated in the plan of the Queen Mother, not only that, but he is also the confidant of the Queen Mother." ”
As she spoke, she deliberately made a tacit ambiguous look, and smiled at her meaningfully.
Xiao Liu is no matter how stupid he is, and at this time he also understood what Big Liu meant, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and said angrily: "This old slut, how dare she?!" ”
As soon as she was in a hurry, she poured out regardless of the smell of incense, and scolded angrily: "It's strange that I said that my husband didn't return until late at night every time he entered the palace, and his face was full of spring, it turned out to be Wang Fahui, a shameless slut, and his husband died and came to rob others, which was extremely shameless!" ”
Fortunately, the Da Liu family had withdrawn from the subordinates before, otherwise if this word spread, even the Xie Mansion would be implicated.
She hurriedly and deliberately persuaded: "Sister, we are good wives, no matter how many concubines our husband has, we can hold it in our hands and rectify it, but a person with a noble status like the Queen Mother is not something you and I can criticize, and Duke Huan can be ...... I am afraid that others will not be able to ask for it. ”
She glanced at Xiao Liu's face, and said slowly: "If one day, the queen mother holds the authority and the imperial power is stable, then she will remarry with Huan Gong as a wife, and reduce her sister to a flat wife, it is not impossible, there is a precedent for this in the previous dynasty, and my sister can't mess around and cause trouble for the family." ”
These words were like lighting a cannonball, and Xiao Liu, who was already angry, suddenly jumped up, stomped his feet and scolded: "He doesn't think about it!" Unless I'm dead, he won't want to marry anyone! ”
Da Liu calmly persuaded: "Sister, don't be too excited, maybe it's spread by outsiders, or it's not impossible for others to misunderstand, if you mess up, wouldn't it be more passive?" I, as a sister, don't want to see discord in your house, I shouldn't have told you about it if I knew it, if the queen mother knew about it, he would hate me Xie Fu in the future. ”
Xiao Liu looked at her with a grateful face, and said: "If my sister hadn't told me, I would still be kept in the dark now, how could I have thought that Wang Fahui, an old woman, would be so shameless, my sister rest assured, I will never tell others, you told me about this." ”
On the other side, Xie Yan and Hagi Niang were playing reversi at will, and Hagi Niang finally found out after getting along for a long time that her all-powerful Yan Lang didn't know how to play reversi, and she was quite encouraged for a while, so she played this chess piece with him in her spare time.
It is no wonder that Othello is a game that originated in England and was only invented in the nineteenth century, and Xie Yan naturally does not know how to play it.
The wonderful thing is that this kind of game can be played directly with the chess pieces of Go, which is a must-have pastime that is more fun than Shuanglu when you are at home. And this game is easy to get started, if you want to play well and be proficient, you need a lot of practical experience, and you must be able to take into account the overall situation, ingenuity and calculation, each way of moving contains countless possibilities, countless tricks, it is really boring to play.
However, Hagi Niang was only able to take advantage of Xie Yan at the beginning, winning a few games of Xie Yan, and within a few days, Xie Yan mastered the trick of this game, with his personality of taking one step and counting three steps, it is naturally the same as playing backgammon, how to win how you want, and you can win a few games if you want to. However, he has learned from the past, considering Hagi Niang's mood, he will occasionally deliberately release water to mobilize Hagi Niang's enthusiasm.
Hagi Niang looked helplessly at the chessboard where she was obviously about to lose, and couldn't help yawning and asked, "Yan Lang, hasn't Mrs. Huan said goodbye yet?" ”
Xie Yan reached out and stroked the corners of her eyes that were red from sleepiness, and said with a smile: "If you are sleepy, go to sleep, and it will be the same for us tomorrow." ”
Hagi Niang was also a night owl in her previous life, but she had been in ancient times for a long time, and she was used to the routine here, and she wanted to sleep when she arrived. After all, she is still young, and she is now a junior high school student, and she is the most sleepy. However, she wanted to sleep with Xie Yan and didn't want to sleep alone, so she got up and approached him, obediently got into his arms, closed her eyes and took a nap.
Xie Yan saw that she was gentle and lovely on weekdays, and she was coquettish like a child, so she couldn't help but laugh, hugged her and said: "Haginiang, I really can't imagine what you will look like when you give birth to a child in the future, you are a child yourself, how can you take care of our children?" ”
