Chapter 469: Red and White Face
Gan Peilin understood now, Mrs. Taishou brought the other two ladies with her, just to make her dizzy and make her nod. If she were someone else, she would indeed not buy it, but Cao Yixun did help Ganfu and Xiangfu, and it was not good to chill the old man for such a little thing.
"The lady came to mention this matter in person, and was willing to let Ling's granddaughter be committed to being a concubine. It is clear that we have gained benefits, how can we refuse. Gan Peilin smiled gently, but the words changed: "It's just ......"
"Just what?" Mrs. Taishou couldn't help frowning, thinking that this Gan Mansion daughter was really not so simple.
"That's right, what's the 'just' in such a good thing, Mrs. Prime Minister, this sugarcane is not sweet at both ends, just get a good one." Mrs. Xu said this with a smile, intending to remind Gan Peilin not to be too greedy.
"Madame, is there anything you can't decide?" Mrs. Chen asked with a smile: "It's better to say it, and we'll give you a total." ”
"Several ladies have misunderstood, Pei Lin didn't mean that." She curled the corners of her lips slightly, and said with a bright smile: "I'm not the only lady in the Prime Minister's Mansion. On the same day, the Queen Mother made the decision and married Princess Zhen to her husband as a wife. I don't dare to be self-absorbed about taking concubines. Otherwise, if I think about it, I'm not sensible. ”
"That's right......" Mrs. Taishou bowed slightly: "I forgot that there is another one in the Prime Minister's Mansion!" ”
Gan Peilin smiled gently: "Originally, there were two ladies in this mansion, and many things had to be discussed. Since Mrs. Taishou and the two ladies are here as guests today, it is better to invite the princess to come and sit down. ”
Mrs. Taishou and the other two ladies glanced at each other and nodded.
"Rulan, go and invite the princess over." Gan Peilin's expression was calm.
Liulan understood and quickly retreated.
Before Zhen came, Rulan didn't tell her anything. She walked in with a proper smile on her face.
"This is Princess Zhen." Mrs. Taishou stood up and bowed slightly.
The two ladies also greeted each other.
Zhen raised his chin slightly, held the sleeping horn in his arms, and walked in softly and slowly. "It's rare for Mrs. Taishou to be a guest with her two husbands, this princess is late, please forgive me."
"The princess wants to take care of the little son, and we are bothering." Mrs. Taishou glanced at the child in her arms, and always felt that Princess Zhen was demonstrating. It's just that it's hard to say whether it's for them or for another lady to see.
"It's a good thing that Mrs. Taishou came over this time." Gan Peilin smiled warmly: "The princess might as well sit down and speak slowly." ”
Zhen nodded slightly, sat down next to Gan Peilin, hugged the child in his arms, and then looked at Gan Peilin: "What a happy event, Sister Peilin, you are so happy." ”
"Mrs. Taishou's granddaughter wants to say that she will be a concubine for our family." Gan Peilin smiled brightly.
"A granddaughter as a concubine?" Princess Zhen turned to look at Mrs. Taishou and frowned: "The granddaughter of Mrs. Taishou is also a famous lady in the imperial city. Coming to the Prime Minister's Mansion to be a concubine, isn't this wronged? ”
"How?" Mrs. Taishou straightened her face and said with warm eyes: "My granddaughter has a bad fate. She lost her mother when she was young, and her father's heart was not in her. Now I can be regarded as a lonely widow, my wife has reached this age, and I don't know how many years I can take care of her, so I want to find a good husband for her. Since she has taken a fancy to Xiangye, then I must come to Zhang Luo for this family wife. Mrs. Fang Cai had already nodded, but she didn't know what the princess thought? ”
"Sister Peilin nodded?" Zhen turned his face in surprise and looked at Gan Peilin.
"Nature." Gan Peilin smiled and said: "We took advantage of it, and other girls suffered losses and became concubines, so how could I not agree." What's more, this matter is that Mrs. Taishou personally came to the door, and it is an honor to value our Prime Minister so much. ”
"Honored?" Zhen glanced at Gan Peilin and said unhappily: "You asked me to come because you were going to ask my opinion." ”
"That's nature." Gan Peilin smiled peacefully: "The princess is also the wife of the Xiangye, and she is the master mother of the Xiangfu, and the matter of taking a concubine must of course be approved by the princess." This is the number of rites in the imperial city. Even the royal concubines have to go through this process. ”
"Since you're asking for my opinion, my opinion is very important." Zhen gently stroked the child in his arms, and the corners of his lips hooked slightly: "I don't agree." ”
"What?" Mrs. Chen couldn't help but be surprised: "What did the princess just say?" ”
Zhen suddenly turned his face and looked at Mrs. Chen with his eyes in aim: "Madame's ears?" Princess Ben said and disagreed. Can't you hear? ”
"Princess, you are too illiterate to speak." Mrs. Chen's face turned red from choking. "It is said that Mrs. Taishou is much older than you, but she is your elder. Even if you're reluctant, it's not good to refuse so bluntly, right? Then how do you make a good girl behave? If this thing gets out, will it have to be a lifetime of mistaken girls? ”
Zhen glanced at Gan Peilin sideways, then looked at Mrs. Taishou's face, and sneered: "What do you mean is that if I don't nod, then the girl can't be a person?" Dare you to be a matchmaker, but a door-to-door forced marriage! ”
"Ahem...... Mrs. Taishou has never been hit like this in person, and she is suddenly angry.
"Mrs. Taishou, please forgive me." Gan Peilin hurriedly got up and saluted her. "The princess grew up in the west since she was a child, and she is not very familiar with the etiquette of the Celestial Empire. In addition, she is a person who practices martial arts, and her temperament is bold and upright, and she is not very good at saying some tactful words. It may even be a word that doesn't make sense. I also ask for the forgiveness of several ladies. ”
"You don't have to be a good person here." Zhen pursed his lips and smiled, and said coldly: "If my husband proposes to take a concubine today, then no matter whose daughter he wants to accept, as a wife, I will nod." But you so-called ladies, ladies I don't know at all, insist on pushing your own daughters and other people's ladies to my husband's side, then I won't agree. said that I don't know if my husband is handsome and martial, and everyone flocks to him, so how many places in this prime minister's mansion can't pile up these people. In short, Mrs. Taishou will never nod unless she can send someone directly to my husband's bedside. ”
"You ......" Mrs. Taishou was beaten by her powerful face and alternating red and white: "Okay, good, good princess of Chenguo, I have learned today." ”
After saying that, she got up and walked out: "Even if I have no eyes, how can I fall in love with your family." Let's go. ”
Gan Peilin hurriedly got up and took two quick steps to stop him: "Mrs. Taishou and stay, it is better to let me show my husband in this matter." If the husband nods, I will naturally order someone to arrange it. ”
"Hmph." Mrs. Taishou glanced at Gan Peilin and said indignantly: "I'm afraid that my granddaughter won't have such a long life, and she won't be angry if she marries in." Keep this blessing for yourselves. ”
Gan Peilin was just putting on a show, and he didn't really plan to chase him out.
Seeing them leave angrily, they couldn't help frowning.
"You sing red face, I sing white face, good people let you do it, Gan Peilin, is it so difficult for you to refuse them directly?" Zhen had already found out that Gan Peilin was unwilling, so he deliberately asked her to come over to stir up the situation. "Are you so afraid of damaging your reputation?"
"Not really." Gan Peilin turned his face worriedly, and said slowly: "Cao Taishou is kind to Ganfu, kind to Xiangfu, and my grandfather's eight friends, how can I offend his wife." We have an old saying here that if you don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, you can't do things absolutely, and you can't have no room for turnaround. ”
"It's weird." Zhen said unhappily: "Since that's the case, then why don't you just nod." Anyway, it is insignificant for the Prime Minister to raise an extra idler. Besides, a concubine can't shake your status, why don't you move out of me and stir up this matter? ”
"Where did Cao Taishou come from's granddaughter?" Gan Peilin is particularly familiar with the situation in Caofu. "Cao Fu has always been a strong man, and he added a granddaughter earlier, and the whole family was very happy. But the child died only a few days after he was caught. The ones that came out later, the generation, are all grandsons and granddaughters. ”
"No granddaughter?" Zhen also felt strange. "Then whose girl is she going to stuff as a concubine? What's in it for her to stuff someone else's girl over? ”
"Yes, I just didn't understand this layer, so I didn't dare to say anything." Gan Peilin sighed suddenly: "Fortunately, princess, you understand my thoughts, and our cooperation is seamless." ”
"Shhhh I'm not here for you! Zhen pouted and said, "Actually, I really don't like the husband who others stuff women for me." Why should they stuff it if they want, I won't let them get their wish. ”
"Alas!" Gan Peilin sighed and said, "Let's not say who that woman is for the time being, just say this practice...... I'm afraid it won't be long before the imitator will work. ”
"What?" Zhen was puzzled: "Isn't it enough for them to come in waves?" Still going to follow suit? ”
"You and my husband, sooner or later, will soar to 90,000 miles." Gan Peilin and Zhen looked at each other: "You know that three thousand in the harem is not an uncommon thing. If these women can be sent to the Prime Minister's Mansion in advance and just wait for it to be completed, they are also people who have experienced hardships with their husbands. How can they be treated badly in the future! ”
Zhen couldn't help but take a sip, she was indeed jealous because of this. She didn't want to see Jiang Yu's side and other women.
But......
Shouldn't she want Jiang Yu's life?
"Is the child still asleep?" Gan Peilin frowned and asked, "Is the injury on his body tight?" ”
At the mention of this, Zhen's eyes turned red: "Such a young child suffers such a crime." I wish that needle had been stuck in me. Whoever does such a thing, don't blame me for not tolerating her! ”
"Check it slowly." Gan Peilin sighed: "There is not peace in the house, and there is not peace in the palace." We are destined to walk on the most dangerous and anxious road of this time. There is no way back. ”
Zhen didn't make a sound, just secretly thought: The road I want to walk is more rugged than yours, and sooner or later I will let Jiang Yu repay everything he owes me one by one!
