Chapter 18 The Foolish Concubine Builds Momentum
"Please come over? What did the eldest prince say? Shen Li was surprised, she had very little contact with the West Courtyard since she entered the mansion. One is the rules of the palace itself, and the other is Concubine Zhong's means of governing the palace, and both sides have always lived their lives behind closed doors. Now that there is a sudden trouble, does the West Courtyard want to move in front of her?
"The eldest prince has passed." Zi Mo replied, "When Chang'an just sent someone over, he specially told us that there is the eldest prince over there to take care of it, and it doesn't hurt if Mrs. goes over." ”
Shen Li didn't think about it for a moment, then got up and said, "Qingxing came over to change my clothes, Zi Mo, you personally led someone to invite Aunt Wei in my father's courtyard, and asked her to go over no matter what." ”
"Yes." Zi Mofu responded, and immediately turned around.
Over there, Yinglan and Feilu heard that something had happened in the West Courtyard, and they immediately led the black and them back.
Shen Li changed his clothes and said to Yinglan: "You guys are here as usual, and the black and lily will come with us." She paused, and then said: "Add a few more dishes to the lunch at noon, and go to Chang'an to ask if there are any taboos in the diet of the second son." ”
"Yes." Several maids were busy answering in unison.
There was a long way from their courtyard to the west courtyard, and Shen Li didn't leave in a hurry, anyway, Gu Yun had already passed, and her position as the eldest sister-in-law was not hot, and she didn't have to rush out.
"If I'm not mistaken, this Mrs. Feng should be the biological mother of the second son?" Shen Li asked the black man who followed behind him as he walked.
Wu Qian nodded, "Yes, but Mrs. Feng is not liked by the prince, and her temperament is not very good." After the second son was full moon, the prince sent the second son to Concubine Zhong's room. ”
Shen Li frowned, what is the reason for this. Concubine Zhong had only been out of the door for more than a year at that time, and it was not that she couldn't give birth. Putting a concubine's child over like this, what do people think. And it is said that the treatment of this second son in the mansion is second only to Gu Yun, and even Concubine Zhong's biological children cannot be compared.
There are really a lot of weird places in this palace. Shen Li's eyes were a little more solemn and a little more melancholy.
By the time Shen Li led the people over, the Lan Courtyard had already cleared the field.
Several concubines who came to see the excitement were sent back to their courtyards, leaving only the two sons and Mrs. Feng, who was still crying.
The people in the courtyard had long since avoided it, and only an old woman and a big maid in the house were still persuading Mrs. Feng on the side.
Shen Li left a group of people outside the house, and only brought Qingxing and Wuqi inside.
Gu Yun came up and squeezed her palm. "My father is not in the house, so I have to let my wife come over."
Gu Jin also looked tired, and there were two scratches on Junxiu's face. He stepped forward and arched his hand at Shen Li, "Sister-in-law, hard work." ”
Shen Li frowned, and instructed Qingxing on the side: "Go and let someone get the wound medicine, the second son is injured." ”
Gu Jin waved his hand hurriedly, "It's not in the way, it's just a little injury." ”
Shen Li solemnized his color and said: "Second Uncle is wrong in what he said, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet of each family soon." The second uncle is highly valued by the prince, and he must also follow all parties to socialize. Besides, the second uncle's proposal is a timely matter. The houses where each family has a good daughter must also take advantage of this season to take a look at each other. The second uncle went out with scratches like this, what did others think? ”
Shen Li said repeatedly, Gu Jin, who asked, was speechless, and even Mrs. Feng's cry involuntarily became smaller. Shen Li asked Wuqian to pour a cup of tea, personally presented it to Mrs. Feng, and gently persuaded her: "Madame, if you encounter something difficult, you might as well tell me." The weather is dry and dry, and the lady is crying like this, doesn't it still make the second son feel distressed. ”
Mrs. Feng was still angry, and waved away the tea handed over by Shen Li, and the hot tea suddenly splashed. Shen Li couldn't dodge, and his left hand was knocked into the Nanmu coffee table on the side.
"Ma'am." Wu Qian exclaimed, Gu Yun hurriedly walked over and grabbed Shen Li's hand, and carefully examined it, but fortunately it was only red, and there was no other damage.
"Sister-in-law is alright?" Gu Jin also hurriedly rushed over and asked.
Shen Li quietly rubbed the wrist of his left hand and shook his head: "It's okay." ”
"Auntie, since you don't listen to persuasion like this, just calm down here alone. It's me who is confused, and I even want my sister-in-law to persuade you. Gu Jin turned around and said with a disheartened face.
"Auntie?" Mrs. Feng suddenly broke away from the old woman's support, stood up and pointed at Gu Jin and said: "Good aunt, I gave birth to you after suffering a lot in October when I was pregnant, and I worked hard and suffered a lot of separation for you, and now you have climbed the high branch and become the second son that everyone envies, but I can't even see you." The only thing you remember all day long is the one in Biwuyuan, but do you remember who gave birth to your own mother? When she said this, a powdered face was crying tears and snot, and she couldn't see it.
Shen Li sighed and said to the cowering maid to the side, "Why don't you go and wring a handkerchief for Madame to wipe your face." ”
A room of people except Mrs. Feng is not good at making a sound, the maid went to twist a hot handkerchief over, the old woman personally took it and wiped it off for Mrs. Feng, and also persuaded: "The second son is also busy with things these days, how can he not hurt his mother and son when he is a son." Rest, what if you cry and break your body? ”
When Mrs. Feng calmed down again, Shen Li said again: "There is always a source for everything, Madame is so aggrieved today, but someone has added something to Madame, hasn't it?" ”
The old woman pressed Mrs. Feng's shoulder, and Mrs. Feng knew what she had just done. She pretended to think about it in her heart, and her face suddenly became a little polite. stopped sitting, stood up and grabbed Shen Li's hand with one hand. "Young lady, you are now the master of the East Courtyard, and you don't know the suffering of our West Courtyard. You assign and distribute, can you ask about this son's family affairs? ”
She didn't say if she could call the shots, she only said if she could ask, Shen Li naturally couldn't say no. Seeing that although Mrs. Feng's face was poignant, the eagerness in her eyes couldn't be hidden, what else did she not understand. "Of course you can, but this will be the prince still taking a fancy to the second son, let's wait first. Concubine Zhong has always been rigorous, and when the time comes, she will invite people to come and have a look. ”
Although Mrs. Feng is not smart, she knows the truth of playing straight balls very well. "Jin'er is valued by the prince, and the concubine knows it. His marriage is a major event, and I naturally have nothing to worry about with Sister Zhong's palm. It's just that the young lady is commenting, but I just want to set a concubine candidate for him, and he pushes back. Although I am an aunt with no status, is it possible that I can't achieve a little bit of the Lord? ”
This is a matter in the uncle's room, how Shen Li is so good. Besides, this is really confused, and the serious family affairs have not yet been decided, and they are already thinking about choosing a concubine. But in any family with a background, who can stand this.
She didn't answer Mrs. Feng's words, but said with a smile: "Madame is also in a hurry, with the appearance and conduct of the second uncle, it is to be matched with a noble girl." Think about it, how can anyone who has a good daughter accept that his daughter has not yet started, and his son-in-law has the reason to be a concubine. If you don't take it slowly, you have to wait for the second uncle's small family to settle down before talking about this. ”
Mrs. Feng couldn't find the words to refute, and she was anxious about what was in her heart, and she was about to mess around again.
"What's the matter, so many people gathered."
Shen Li turned around, but it was Aunt Wei who led the maids in.
"I'm tired of the young lady, and I have to run around to go on this trip." Aunt Wei stepped forward to greet Gu Yun, Gu Jin and Shen Li, then turned around and smiled at Mrs. Feng: "If Mrs. Feng has any grievances, just go and tell Concubine Zhong." If Concubine Zhong can't solve it, there is also a main courtyard that can help you mediate. If you make such a fuss, if you let the prince know, there will be more than one confinement that can solve it. ”
Mrs. Feng shrank for a moment, she seemed to be very afraid of Aunt Wei, and when Aunt Wei entered the door, she kept her head down in silence.
Shen Li glanced at her strangely, and then said to Aunt Wei: "Madame is probably also worried, a little out of proportion, and I ask my aunt to be considerate." ”
Aunt Wei glanced at her with a smile, bowed and said, "What the young lady said is exact." As she spoke, she turned to Mrs. Feng and said, "In this case, Mrs. Feng will clean up and calm down in the courtyard." ”
