Mama Mao pondered and said: "But the marriage of the five girls, the old lady can't be the master, doesn't she still have a grandmother above her." ”

Cheng Shipi didn't smile, this was looking at her perfunctory, and said: "But the old lady spoke, and she couldn't help but listen to it." ”

Mama Mao choked for a moment and looked at the old lady. The old lady let out a deep breath and directly picked out, "The second one's family, I'll tell you clearly, Jiao Niang, I am useful." ”

Cheng Shi tightened his eyebrows, "Useful?"

"Do you know why I came back with Jiao Niang?" Cheng shook his head, puzzled, and the old lady said in a deep voice: "I'm for Manniang." ”

Cheng Shi was even more confused when he heard it, "Manniang, what's the matter with Guan Manniang?"

Mama Mao brought red dates and snow clam soup, the weather is hot, the old lady has not eaten much recently, and she can still drink a little of these soups and soups, Mama Mao also brought a bowl to Cheng's, and the old lady said while eating, "Originally, when Manniang was not pregnant, I was always afraid that she would be bullied by the concubine, she had no children, and her position in the Xiangwang Mansion was not firm." So I thought about sending Jiao Niang over and helping her, first, to help her block the goblins in Nafu, and second, if Jiao Niang was pregnant, their sisters would have something to rely on in the future. ”

Cheng didn't expect the old lady to have such a plan, and he was shocked. She is a heart-to-heart, and immediately understood the old lady's intentions, she was afraid that Manniang would not be able to support it for long, so she sent it in Jiaoniang again, so as to firmly grasp the thigh of Xiangwangfu. She is despicable for such an act of relying on the daughter of the family to seek glory.

You must know that back then, she didn't want Manniang to marry into Xiangwang's Mansion at all, Xiangwang was a good person, but Princess Xiang was mean and tricky, and Yingsui Liang was famous, and Manniang didn't know how many grievances she had suffered in recent years.

The old lady stirred the bowl with a soup spoon and made a crisp porcelain collision sound, "But what, now that Manniang is pregnant, I probed Princess Xiang's tone again that day, and I didn't like Jiao Niang when I heard what she meant, so I stopped thinking about it." ”

After a few sips, she got tired of it again, and she handed the cup to Mama Mao.

Cheng said: "Since this is the case, what's wrong with giving Jiao Niang to Brother Yu now." ”

The old lady wiped her mouth with a towel, and when she heard Cheng's words, she raised her eyes and looked at her deeply, "You forgot, Jiao Niang is going to participate in the draft of the Golden Autumn." ”

Cheng chuckled at the corner of his mouth, "This draft, there is no way to lose the draft." ”

"But I'm not going to let my lady lose the election. "The old lady has long left a follow-up move, and people can't hang themselves from a tree.

Cheng suddenly raised his eyes and crashed into the old lady's dry eyes, because of the old lady's words, he panicked for no reason, "The old lady wants Jiao Niang to serve the saint? ”

Behind her back, she also joked with Second Master Hua that the You family in Beifu sold her daughter to seek glory, and in a blink of an eye, the old lady was about to sell her grandson to seek glory.

The old lady smiled and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes expanded, and every line seemed to be full of calculations, "It doesn't have to be a saint, maybe it will be favored by a prince or a meritorious hero." But it doesn't matter to anyone, as long as she can make our Hua family have one more good marriage, it is her greatest use. ”

She stretched out her hand to hold Cheng's family, "The second family, don't blame your mother for not agreeing to you, you have to look at the long-term in everything, I am doing this step by step, all for Junze and them." ”

Cheng's heart was shocked, and he slowly withdrew his hand, listening to her treat Jiao Niang as a cargo, and couldn't help but think about whether it was in her eyes back then, her daughter was the same as today's Jiao Niang, just a chess piece for her to strengthen the Hua family. Cheng didn't say much, but his heart was cold.

Hua Junze's most important thing recently is to accompany Ying Che, and he was surprised that Ying Che suddenly said that he wanted to stay, but everyone proposed it, and he couldn't refuse.

As for why he wanted to stay, Hua Junze actually had a bit of a spectrum in his heart.

The two walked side by side and talked about He Zhiping.

"Someone from the Yushitai wrote a book to visit him, saying that he was corrupt and perverted the law, disregarded people's lives, and in order to build another courtyard for himself, he took the land of the people below as his own, and also imprisoned the people who complained and gave him hard labor, and the crimes of his sons were also full of books that could not be contained. So my old man sent me to investigate him, and if it was true, I would not spare him when I went back this time. ”

"I've heard of this, and I've heard that he released the prisoners in the prison to build construction for him, and several people died of exhaustion. But because he is a state pastor, no one dares to investigate him. ”

Ying Che smiled coldly, "The feudal official, he thought that the emperor was far away, and he wanted to be the emperor of the soil here." ”

Hua Junze said: "Now that you are the Lord of the Qincha, his good life is over." "His father has been suppressed by He Zhiping all these years, and he has long been unaccustomed to it.

The two smiled and continued walking.

At this time, there was a small girl moving flowers, and Hua Junze saw that the varieties of this flower were rare, so he asked, "Where are you moving flowers?"

The little girl replied: "It was Young Master Cheng Yu who asked us to move to the Jiao Niang girl." ”

Hua Junze understood, waved them away, and then said with a smile: "Ah Yu is really attentive, knowing that Jiao Niang likes peonies, he will send them in a different way, such a delicate mind, I can't compare." He lowered his head and stared at the vamp of his shoe, taking a peek at the change in Yingche's expression.

Ying Che's heart moved when he heard this, his face did not change, he was silent for a while, Hua Junze said: "His Royal Highness came forward to testify for Ah Yu that day, which really scared me, did His Royal Highness really meet Ah Yu in the Temple of Mercy and Grace?"

"You don't believe the king?" asked Ying Che rhetorically.

Hua Junze said: "It's not that I don't believe it, it's just too much of a coincidence, I thought His Royal Highness just said that to relieve our Hua family." ”

Ying Che looked ahead, "It's true that this king did meet him. But he came forward to testify for Cheng Yu at that time, not for him, but for ......

After breaking up with Ying Che, Hua Junze went to his mother's yard, and Cheng told him what the old lady said, and he was not only shocked but also angry.

None of their brothers are sons who eat, drink and have fun, and they will definitely be able to bear the lintel of the flower family in time. He knew what the old lady was worried about, the title of the Hua family was only hereditary for three generations, and in their generation, if there was no one who could shoulder the responsibility of the family, the Hua family would soon decline.

But his Hua family won't use his daughter to seek wealth, his own sister has already taken her own happiness, and now she wants to take the happiness of her mother?

"I think your grandmother has made up her mind, even your uncle in the capital can't be disobedient. ”

Hua Junze was silent for a while, and said, "That's okay, my mother will find an opportunity to talk to Brother Yu and persuade him to put away that thought." ”

Cheng was still a little unwilling in his heart, "You also oppose your cousin and Jiaoniang?"

Hua Junze said: "This matter is not useful if I am in favor or against, even if the old lady does not plan to do so, I am afraid that this lady has already been ......" The following words came to an abrupt end.

"By whom?"

Hua Junze sighed faintly, "Hey, you don't care about this matter." ”

Cheng didn't bother to care about these things, and instead talked to him about his marriage. When it comes to getting married, Hua Junze is one head and two big, and he really doesn't have this mind now.

In his ears was Cheng's babbling talking about whose girl in the city looked like this, what her character was, and her thoughts had already flown away, remembering a girl he had unintentionally bumped into in the capital a few months ago, and he didn't know whose young lady it was.

That night, Jiao Niang couldn't sleep again, she lived in this room, the first noon was not hot, and after the afternoon, the sun was stored in, until the heat could not be dispersed at night. There are also voices outside the window, and she can't stop it even when the window is closed, which disturbs her from sleeping.

Seeing that Qinghuan was sleeping, she couldn't bear to disturb her, so she put on a gauze dress and quietly left the hospital.

There was a cool breeze in the night, and it was still pleasant to walk leisurely, and she walked along a row of acacia trees that had just bloomed, and there were acacia petals that fell on her shoulders, and she did not brush them away. Instead, he took a silk handkerchief to catch the fallen petals and went around. Acacia flowers have the effect of sleeping well, and she plans to take some back into medicine to cure her insomnia.

I saw a person standing behind a prosperous and lush acacia tree in front of him, and the man was long and jade, and the leaves covered his appearance, and he couldn't see it really, but he felt that this figure was a little familiar.

I was still thinking that this was who didn't sleep like her in the middle of the night, when I saw the man suddenly come out from behind the tree, her eyes widened, and the silk pocket with the acacia flower in her hand fell to the ground, and she turned around and left.

"Stop!" the man shouted, and Jiao Niang's legs stopped there obediently, slowly turned around, and greeted the man, "Lord Rui Wan'an." ”

Ying Che didn't tell her to get up immediately, his unfathomable eyes were fixed on the top of Jiao Niang's head, staring at Jiao Niang's scalp numb, before he said idly, "Get up." ”

Jiao Niang stood up straight, her chin resting on the intricate embroidery of the collar, well-behaved like a little daughter-in-law. Ying Che bent down, "Why did you run away when you saw this king?"

He was very close to her, and he could smell the smell of ambergris on his body, this spice is very rare, and only a few boxes are paid every year, and the saint does not like to use incense, so he gave all the gifts to Ying Che, which shows his grace.

Jiao Niang held her breath and let her panicked heart slowly settle down, "At night, when I suddenly saw someone, I was startled, and I didn't see that it was His Highness. Her voice grew quieter and quieter, and at last she was gone.

Ying Che wanted to hear what she was saying, so he leaned closer, "Why don't you sleep so late?" His voice was low, with a touch of tenderness.

Jiao Niang's body leaned back slightly, raised her eyes to look at her, and quickly hung down, "It's hot, I can't sleep." He added, "I'm afraid of the heat." ”

Ying Che saw that she was about to lean over, pursed the corners of her mouth, straightened up, and gave her room to breathe, "Do you like the peony you sent?"

Jiao Niang slowly raised her eyes and looked at him deeply, in the past two days, I don't know what evil wind Ying Che has smoked, and she sends peonies to her every day, and they are all extremely precious varieties, like Wei Zi, Yao Huang, Doulu, Er Qiao, plus what Cheng Yu sent before, she can sell flowers directly.

Ying Che saw that she was only looking at herself, and her eyebrows tightened, "What, you don't like it?" It seems that as long as Jiao Niang says he doesn't like it, he is ready to turn his face at any time.
