Chapter 208: Misunderstanding (1)
The woman looked at the little county lord Mu in front of her, slowly draped the big gun in her hand on her shoulders again, and helped her tie a knot so that it would no longer fall off.
"County Lord, you are the heart of the princess, the princess will never marry the county lord to the Pingning Hou Mansion to suffer, the eldest son of the Pingning Hou family, you also saw it when you were young, a few days ago, you just won the lift, is a noble and rare character. Mrs. Rao and Princess Niangniang of Pingning are also sisters who are young, and they will not embarrass the county lord if they want to. ”
Lord Mu Xiaojun glanced at the grandmother, who was the person who served by the concubine's side, and was pointed out to serve by her side not long ago.
She was in a hurry when she left the house, so she had to take her with her, who knew that she had been muttering all the way to the present, and had been persuading herself to go back, fortunately, she did not report to the palace privately, otherwise such a person would really not be able to stay.
"Mama was originally serving by the side of the concubine, so she naturally praised the eldest prince of Pingning Hou in the sky and on the earth, and there were dragons and phoenixes among people. Although the mother concubine and Ping Ninghou are sisters who are young, they have not been in contact for so many years, and they are the people who used to be good, but now they are also fading. The Pingning Hou Mansion invited the second wife of the Ping family to marry me, but it was just because he valued the status of our Mu Wangfu in Lijiang. ”
Lord Mu Xiaojun said, and handed the gold-wired copper-patterned stove in his arms to the grandmother.
Seeing that the look on the grandmother's face gradually dimmed, she no longer looked at her, and without saying much, she continued to speak as she had just said.
"Although the Pingning Hou Mansion is powerful, it can make countless enemies in the capital, how many pairs of eyes are staring at them tightly, hoping that they have made a little mistake, so that they can grasp the mistake and pull the Hou Mansion off the horse."
When the mother heard this, she lowered her head, not daring to say more, just looking at her appearance, there must have been countless words in her heart that had not been revealed.
First raised his head and glanced at the little county lord Mu, then lowered his head again, and hugged the stove tightly, as if he was afraid that the stove would fall inadvertently.
Finally, the grandmother couldn't help it, raised her head and looked at the little county lord in front of her, and said lightly.
"County Lord, originally you had a marriage contract with the prince of the Dingwu Marquis Mansion, who would have thought that the prince would have a sweetheart and invite the Dingwu Marquis's wife Tao to come and divorce the princess."
The grandmother swallowed her saliva and said: "The princess didn't want to retreat for the sake of the reputation of the county lord, but the Tao family couldn't be easily offended, and the prince of Dingwu had a sweetheart again, so the princess retreated." After the princess and the Dingwu Marquis Mansion divorced, the second wife of the Ping family came to the door in person a few days and told the county lord and the eldest prince of Pingninghou. ”
When Lord Mu Xiaojun heard this, he didn't care, but said angrily.
"The original one who was engaged to me was still the son of the Dingwu Marquis Mansion, but now he has become the eldest son of the Pingning Marquis Mansion, neither a child born by a concubine, nor raised in the elder's house, relying on an aunt to pull up, what ability can he have?"
Lord Mu Xiaojun looks down on the eldest son of the Pingning Hou family, this is the reason, Ping Ruan Ming, the eldest son of the Pingning Hou family, is neither the son of the current Mrs. Pingning Hou, nor the son of the previous lady, but the blood and strength of the Pingning Hou in his early years, born with a rough girl in the firewood room.
After the rough girl gave birth to the eldest son of the Pingning Hou Mansion, then Mrs. Pingning Hou also gave birth to a son-in-law, although Ping Ruan Ming was the first son of the Pingning Hou Mansion, but his mother was from a humble background.
The old lady of Pingninghou disliked it and did not keep it in her own house, and Mrs. Pingninghou only had her own son in her heart, so she didn't care.
In this way, Ping Nguyen Minh grew up in his aunt's room.
For this reason, although he is the son of the Hou Mansion, when Ping Ruan Ming was young, there were not many people to befriend him.
If it weren't for the second wife of the Ping family who took pity on this nephew, she said a few words in front of Pingning Hou, but I was afraid that it would be difficult to make a move.
That grandmother also knew that the eldest prince of the Pingning Marquis Mansion was from a humble background, and compared with the little county lord of the Mu Wangfu with golden branches and jade leaves, it was really a heaven and an underground.
The grandmother also felt in her heart that this marriage was really too bad for the county lord. But the princess has already agreed with the second wife of the peace family, if the county lord does not marry, it will give those who are staring at the palace an opportunity.
At that time, those people made rumors that Lijiang's Mu Wangfu held its own status and was valuable, and looked down on the prince from the Hou Mansion.
The situation in the capital is now turbulent, and how many pairs of sharp eyes are staring at the southwest and staring at the Mu Wangfu.
For the sake of the princess and the prince, she still persuaded her.
"County Lord, although the life experience of the eldest prince of the Pingning Hou Mansion is not as good as you, but behind him is the entire Pingning Hou Mansion, with the Hou Mansion supporting him, his career is still long, and the blessings are also ahead. And the county lord married a high marriage in the past, and Mrs. Pingning Hou is not your serious mother-in-law, so I guess I won't be too embarrassed for you. ”
When Lord Mu Xiaojun heard this, he was also tired of her, and wanted to call someone out to invite her away.
"Mama, if you're fine, go back to the house and rest! I know all these words of Mama. But in the end, whether to marry the eldest son of the Ping family or not, I have to decide personally. Even if it is the mother and the princess and the father, I can't just do this to master my life's affairs. ”
After that, Lord Mu immediately called two or three strong maids to come in, took the grandmother's arm, and put her out.
As soon as Lord Mu Xiaojun entered the house and was about to lie down, the maid who had just been sent out by her to inquire about the news hurriedly entered the house, her face nervous, as if she knew some shocking secret.
,
Without waiting for her to speak, Lord Mu Xiaojun asked first, "Lan'er, you look like you know something?" If you know something, say it quickly, don't dwell on it. ”
The maid named Lan'er first glanced around the house, and saw that there was no one else in the house, so she dared to whisper.
"County Lord, the man you met on the street just now is none other than His Royal Highness Jiang Zhiming, the prince of the Dingwu Marquis Mansion. The son of the Jiang family lives in Pengpugu Mansion, and tonight he heard that there is a temple fair in Puning Temple, so he came over. ”
"What! That little scoundrel turned out to be Jiang Zhiming, the son of the Marquis of Dingwu, who divorced me a few months ago. Lord Mu obviously didn't believe the maid's words, and asked again.
"You said that he is Jiang Zhiming, the son of the Dingwu Marquis Mansion, what proof do you have? But who can prove that he is Jiang Zhiming, the prince of the Dingwu Marquis Mansion?"
Before Lan'er entered the house, she knew that the county lord would not believe it. Fortunately, she had already inquired about it in advance, and that person was sure to be Jiang Zhiming, the prince of Dingwu Marquis who was now living in Gu Mansion.
"County lord, the slave maid has already instructed someone to inquire, there is also a shop of the Gu Mansion on the long street, and the owner of the shop said that when he delivered goods to the Gu Mansion a while ago, he saw the son from afar in the mansion, and it was determined that it was Jiang Zhiming, the prince of the Dingwu Marquis Mansion."
Lan'er has been serving by her side since she was a child, and her words will not be false, but she is completely different from Jiang Zhiming, who is like a scoundrel, and Jiang Zhiming, the legendary prince of Dingwu Hou who is like a crown of jade!
It's obviously two people!
When Lord Mu Xiaojun thought that such a little scoundrel had a marriage contract with him, he immediately congratulated himself that he had already broken off the marriage contract with him. If she marries such a scoundrel, then her life will be ruined to the point that there is no scum left!
Lord Mu didn't think much about it, and let the maid bring a basin of water and wash up, and then rested on the couch.
Lan'er's words just now, but Jiang Zhiming's handsome and dashing appearance in her heart, and the appearance of Yushu in the wind were unsightly, she really couldn't figure it out, why should a prince of the Hou Mansion be a shameless little boy who is hated?
The little county lord Mu over there had already rested, and Jiang Zhiming here had just returned to the restaurant, and as soon as he went to the private room, he saw the stone leaning crookedly in the house, and fell asleep, without the slightest intention of coming out to find himself.
The snoring was loud for a while, so angry that Jiang Zhiming hurriedly kicked the boxwood stool placed in the room, Jiang Zhiming's strength made it heavy, and the boxwood stool flew to the side of the stone at once, and woke up the stone lying on the ground asleep.
"It's dawn, there's a fire, shouldn't you wake up?" Jiang Zhiming said, ignoring the shoes he was wearing, and kicked the bulging cheeks with his foot.
"Where is the fire? Where is the fire?" Shi heard Jiang Zhiming's voice, hurriedly got up from the ground, first rubbed his eyes, and after opening them, he saw that his son-in-law had appeared in front of him at some point.
"Childe, when did you come back? and he did not wake up the stone, but let it fall asleep all the time. ”
As he spoke, the stone straightened his messy clothes, and wiped his dripping face with his sleeve, regardless of his image.
"Seeing you sleeping as heavy as a dead pig, I can't bear to wake you up. But if you continue to sleep, it will be dawn and it will be time to go home. Jiang Zhiming looked at the stone and looked like he hadn't slept enough, and said impatiently.
"Childe, what are these words? Since we made an appointment with the Gu family girl tonight, and now the Gu family girl hasn't come yet, how can the son just say go? What if the Gu family girl arrives later, and she can't see her son?"
When Shi said this, he seemed to have forgotten that it was the morning of the second day, that the temple fair had passed last night, and that he had slept all night.
"The temple fair is over, she shouldn't come! The porter in the house had already sent someone to find us, saying that Gu Yutang went to Puji Temple in the east of the city tonight, stayed for a long time, and didn't see our figure, so he was personally sent back by Fan Siping. ”
Jiang Zhiming spoke, feeling a little guilty and unhappy in his heart. Fan Siping's kid sent him back, and it was clear that he wanted to be jealous.
Not only that, Gu Yutang's girl also borrowed this matter and inadvertently told him that she had already minded it. As for how to make up for it, it depends on your own performance.
After returning to the house, it was already the fourth watch. It was already dawn, and the servants and maids in the house had already gotten up, ready to freshen up the masters.
The maids and maids shuttled under the porch, heading to the big kitchen, presumably to get breakfast.
Gu Yutang came back after the third watch, because Da Han and Ah Hua were eating wine outside, they were full of alcohol and dazed. Gu Yutang couldn't rest assured, so he asked the mother-in-law who followed the car to bring them back.
As for herself, she came back in Fan Siping's carriage, and last night, she and Fan Siping talked a lot, never before, and really got to know him.
Jinping's Fan family can have a good son like him, and the prosperity of the family is just around the corner.
