Chapter 218: Relatives
In the spring room.
Si Zhu instructed the kitchen to make blood swallow porridge for Yingchun, and at noon, Mu Xiang personally brought it up. "Madam," Si Zhu said with a smile, "Eat some quickly, this is the old lady over there who picked it herself." ”
Yingchun got up from the couch and frowned, "Si Zhu, look at you in the past few days, you have been on the mountains and the taste of Shanghai, and you want me to eat so many things a day, you can't raise pigs?" ”
"Madame, look at what you said." Si Zhu couldn't help but laugh and whispered.
"Don't look like you're empty-hearted, I don't know what you think, do you want to say bad things?"
"How dare a slave?" Si Zhu immediately defended.
Yingchun waved his hand, "That's it, you go and bring the porridge over, I'll eat it here, I'm too lazy to go down." ”
Si Zhu brought the porridge, Yingchun looked at the delicate little bowl, and suddenly thought of the old lady, thinking of the future of Jiafu, Yingchun's hand holding the spoon did not fall for a long time.
"Madame, are you afraid of the heat? Otherwise, the slave and maid will blow it to you. Si Zhu mistakenly thought that Yingchun was worried about the hot porridge.
Yingchun put the small spoon lightly on the edge of the bowl, "Si Zhu, I am inconvenient now, but I am thinking about the old lady in my heart, and you will go and send a letter to the old lady in a while." ”
Si Zhuyi hesitated, "Go in person?" Si Zhu was shocked, what kind of confidential matter made Mrs. so relieved, and she had to go in person?
Yingchun nodded, "Yes, you go in person, be sure to hand over the letter to the old lady, even to the mandarin duck and amber, do you understand?" ”
Si Zhu agreed.
Jia Fuzhong.
As soon as Mother Jia had rested, the mandarin duck said back and forth: "Old lady, Si Zhu from the second aunt's grandmother is here and brings a letter to the old lady." I originally said that it would be handed over to me, but Si Zhu's girl didn't agree with anything, she had to hand it over to you in person, she said it was the second aunt and grandmother. ”
"What do you mean?" The old lady put down the teacup, "You go and call Si Zhu in, and send all the little girls in the house out." ”
"Yes." The mandarin duck agreed and withdrew.
Si Zhu was brought in, she gave a gift to the old lady first, Mother Jia ordered her to get up and reply, Si Zhu stood up, took out the letter in his arms, and handed it to the mandarin duck on the side.
Jia Mu took the letter, unfolded it and carefully looked at the contents of the letter with a magnifying glass. After a while, Jia Mu put down the magnifying glass and smiled at Si Zhu: "You go back and tell Ying Yatou, just say that I understand her intentions, let her have a good life." ”
Si Zhu retreated.
Jia Mu handed the letter to the mandarin duck, "Go, take this and burn it." ”
"Burned?" The mandarin duck was a little surprised, but she didn't dare to ask more, so she took the letter and went outside to burn it.
When the mandarin duck came back, Jia Mu was staring at the swinging clock. The mandarin duck stood on the side, not daring to say anything. After a long time, Mother Jia sighed deeply, "It's really embarrassing to welcome a girl, it's really a thoughtful child." ”
The mandarin duck didn't know the seriousness of the matter, so he didn't dare to reply to Jia's mother's words.
"It's just," Jia Mu shook her head and leaned back on the couch, "There are so many things that I can control?" Jia Mu seemed to be very tired, lying on the couch and closing her eyes. Yingchun, what a good boy, he saw the future of Jiafu so thoroughly, and came to tell her again. It's just that many things have been doomed from the beginning. If you want to turn back halfway, there is no way to come.
Si Zhu returned to Sun's mansion and learned from Xiang Yingchun.
"The old lady just let the lady have a good life."
Yingchun nodded, "You did a good job, go down and rest for a while, there are still a few Huaijiao here." ”
Si Zhu replied with a smile: "I'm not tired." ”
Yingchun thought of something again, and instructed Si Zhu, "Just now Mrs. Li sent a girl from there and said that Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Li will come over tomorrow, and you are ready to greet the guests." ”
Si Zhu nodded.
Yingchun hadn't seen Mrs. Li and Mrs. Lu for a long time, thinking that these two ladies were still friends he had made for the first time since he crossed over, especially Mrs. Li, who was upright and upright, but had a very similar temper with Yingchun. It's a blessing to see these "handkerchiefs". Thinking about it, Yingchun's face was full of smiles.
The next day, the Spring Festival was already ready, and as soon as the hour passed, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Lu came to Sun's mansion. Although Yingchun did not greet him in person, Si Zhu took a few girls to the front to pick up the two ladies.
The two ladies entered the courtyard of Yingchun, Yingchun was already standing at the door, and when they saw the two coming, they smiled and saluted, "My body is inconvenient, and I don't welcome Mrs. Li and Mrs. Lu from afar, I hope to forgive me." ”
Mrs. Li walked over first and took Yingchun's hand, "You are too late, everyone has a good relationship with each other, what are you talking about?" ”
Mrs. Lu also came over at this time, looking up and down at Yingchun, "Mrs. Sun is a little blessed." ”
Yingchun knew that the two ladies knew that she was pregnant, her face was slightly red, and she asked the two ladies inside, "Please speak inside." ”
The three of them entered the inner room, sat down as guests, and Yingchun said with a smile: "How are the two ladies doing lately?" ”
Mrs. Li and Yingchun are more familiar, so they laughed first, "It's okay, but Mrs. Lu came this time for something." ”
Yingchun looked at Mrs. Lu, and Mrs. Lu said with a smile: "Before, Mrs. Sun asked me to discuss the matter of Sister Ling's marriage, but now I have some eyebrows, there is a candidate, I want to tell Mrs. Sun about it." ”
When Yingchun heard that it was because of Sun Huiying's matter, he hurriedly asked, "What kind of family is it?" ”
"Dinghai Hou Han's family."
As soon as Yingchun heard about Dinghai Hou, he could be named Hou, and he must not be an ordinary family. It's just that such a family, how can they marry a girl who is old and not from a high-ranking official family?
Mrs. Lu saw Yingchun's doubts, and explained with a smile, "The ancestors of the Han family of Dinghai Marquis also followed the first emperor, and when they arrived at Dinghaihou's father's generation, they attacked the throne, because their father and Dinghai Hou were not in good health, so it was just a false name, and he did not master any practice. However, there will be no shortage of money in the court. I think Master Sun should have heard of it. ”
Yingchun nodded, "It makes Mrs. Lu tired, but I don't know what the identity of this son is?" "In fact, Yingchun already has a number in his heart, Dinghai Hou, such a family, the hereditary son-in-law will not say it to Sun Huiying.
Mrs. Lu smiled and said: "It is a son-in-law, this son-in-law is five, eighteen years old this year, and his aunt died early, but she has been raised by the old lady of the Hou Mansion, although she is a concubine, but Mrs. Hou Ye has never been embarrassed by this son." Once upon a time, he had four elder brothers, and he was raised by the old lady, and Mrs. Hou was not good at asking anything. Last year, the old lady died of a sudden illness, and the fifth prince returned to the Hou Mansion. It's just that the old lady said that she wanted to personally choose the family of the fifth son, but the old lady's death of illness actually delayed such a good talent. Mrs. Hou Ye was also in a hurry, for fear of making outsiders think that she owed the fifth son, so Zhang Luo proposed marriage for the fifth prince. ”
Yingchun smiled, thinking that this Mrs. Hou didn't take this concubine in her eyes, otherwise she would really be a parent, and she would put her child at this age, and she would not discuss marriage?
Yingchun smiled and nodded, "It sounds like a perfect match for my little sister, but I don't know what the character of this fifth son of Han is?" ”
Mrs. Lu smiled lightly: "Others say that he is a little wooden, he doesn't know how to fight for status with his brothers, and he doesn't know how to fight for property, but it's good for me to look at people." ”
Mrs. Li spoke on the side at this time, "My lord mentioned this fifth son of Han, and it is rumored that he is a fool who does not go to his mother-in-law all day long, nor does he go to his brother's place, and honestly reads in his yard." Mrs. Sun can ask Master Sun, I think, Master Sun has also heard of the name of Han Wugongzi. ”
Yingchun listened, and felt that this person was very safe. Some things can be fought for without fighting, and if one is not careful, it will bring disaster.
Yingchun thanked the two of them, and the two ladies told Yingchun about pregnancy. Yingchun kept the two ladies to have lunch here before ordering someone to send them out.
When Sun Shaozu came back in the afternoon, Yingchun told Sun Shaozu what Mrs. Lu said.
"Fifth Prince Han?" Sun Shaozu raised his eyebrows, "Isn't it the Han Wu fool rumored outside?" ”
Yingchun glared at Sun Shaozu, "Don't talk about people like that, I just want to ask you, can you hear, is this person a proper person?" ”
Sun Shaozu sat beside Yingchun and stroked Yingchun's small hand, "It is rumored that this person is a nerd outside, but I think it's good." Mrs. Lu can help us find such a person, which is also Hui Ying's blessing. ”
"Is the nerd alright?"
"Naturally, it's good, and there are some things I think you understand. Although the Han family of Dinghai Hou withdrew from the official career, they also did a good job in the business field, the family business was huge, and the sons-in-law and concubines also fought for their own selfishness. And he alone can put himself out of the world, not relying on him left and right, no matter which one happens in the future, it has nothing to do with him. ”
Sun Shaozu smiled lightly, "Besides, this Fifth Prince of Han looks like a reading material." Lord Hou and his wife are stupid to read and read as this son, and now they don't like this son, nor do they hate this son. If you think about it carefully, in such an intriguing family, can you do this level, will it be a simple person? I see, this person is the smartest person in the Hou Mansion. ”
Yingchun didn't speak, but he knew in his heart that Sun Shaozu was also very satisfied with this family business. "Then I'm going to talk to my mother tomorrow?"
"You will go early tomorrow morning, and tell your mother that I also agree to this marriage. You ask your mother to tell Hui Ying that such a character, such a family, after this village, there will be no such shop, let Hui Ying not make a mistake. ”
Yingchun nodded, but there were some worries in her heart, would Sun Huiying agree to this marriage?
