Chapter 16: The Mysterious Mr. Gao (III)
===== the mysterious Mr. Gao's three-point line ==================
Lian'er came to greet the old lady as usual, helped the old lady comb her hair, accompanied the old man to breakfast, and then prepared to go to the flower hall outside to meet the Baihuatang steward who had been recruited back with Xinjie. On normal days, the old lady likes to be free, and she doesn't want her daughter-in-law and juniors to make rules, except for Lian'er, other people don't come often so early. Today, I was very surprised, and Mrs. Tang came before she could tie her hair for the old lady.
Lian'er stopped combing her hair and gave her a salute, but the eldest lady didn't even look at her, but just said a word of obsolescence arrogantly. After greeting the old lady, he served tea to the old lady.
In the eyes of ordinary people, Mrs. Tang is a lucky one, her mother-in-law is generous and not nosy, she just takes her grandchildren to take care of the foreign affairs of Baicaotang and Baihuatang, and leaves all the backyard affairs to Mrs. Tang to take care of. In terms of money, the Tang family can not only be described by the word wealth. Mrs. Tang would go to Beijing with Tang Lan once every other year, but whenever she went back, she could happily show off in her mother's house and Mrs. Jingzhong's circle. not only greatly satisfies personal vanity, but also earns enough face for the mother's family. And several sons and nephews of the mother's family also had a smooth journey because of the relationship between the Tang family. For this reason, several sisters-in-law and siblings of her mother's family were very enthusiastic to entertain her.
Many sisters in Beijing envy her, she has a stable position in the Tang family over the years, since the death of the flat wife of the Yu family, Tang Lan has not remarried, she has been Tang Lan's only wife all these years. Although she can't settle in the capital for a long time, there is no fighting in the backyard of ordinary large families, and her life is quite comfortable. Except, of course, for seeing the third young master who was an eyesore.
Now that Xintian and Xinye are adults, they have not only inherited the handsome and suave sons of the Tang family, but also the two biological sons are talented and have excellent martial arts. On the old lady's birthday, many official ladies who came admired all the way in front of her. Naturally, she knew what these people meant. However, she didn't want to pick a daughter-in-law in Xianyang or Kansai, she hoped that Xintian and Xinye would eventually settle in the capital, and she would be able to live with them in the capital when she was old. Xianyang is too remote, and this Wabao village is even more boring.
In her early years, she hoped that Xintian and Xinye could enter the ranks, according to the background of the Tang family, there was no need for these two children to participate in scientific examinations or fight for martial arts champions or the like, with the recommendation of her father and uncles, it was not difficult to do a martial arts job and gradually be promoted. Although Xintian wants to take care of the Tang family's family business, it is easy to take an idle job in the capital. In this way, it is easier to marry a matchmaker. However, neither son was willing. Tang Lan is also not active, it is useless for her to be in a hurry. Although when she got married in her early years, her mother taught her countless ways to control her husband, but it didn't work when she came to Tang Lan. In the past, when Tang Lan was serving in Beijing, she always hoped that Tang Lan could take the initiative to take her back to the capital to stay in the capital, but later after he had the goblin in Yumen, he never mentioned it, and after the goblin passed away, he didn't mention it. Now that I'm at home, I don't plan to go back to the capital in the past few years. Although Tang Lan treated her as close as a guest, the two rarely spoke, and when he was in Zhuangzi, except for the fifteenth day of the first month, he usually went to her room as usual, and usually lived in the study by himself. I went to her room and spent the night just in the morning. She always felt that Tang Lan was a vulgar martial artist, and she didn't know how to live a delicate and interesting life. For decades, she has long forgotten that Tang Lanqin, chess, calligraphy and painting were all excellent, and she was a rare talent in Beijing who was both civil and military. For decades, all she saw in his eyes was indifference. A few days ago, she saw other looks in Tang Lan's eyes again, maybe appreciation, but this time the object of her eyes was the girl of the Bai family. This kind of look made her jealous, and only when Tang Lan was with the goblin from Yumen back then, there was a brilliance in his eyes.
Watching Mrs. Tang happily watch the girl of the Bai family comb her hair in the mirror, that kind look also made Mrs. Tang feel dazzling. A vixen is a vixen, and it is eaten by both men and women.
Although it was a little embarrassing, Mrs. Tang still did not forget the purpose of this trip.
"Old lady, Mrs. Gao came here before, saying that her Mr. Gao was originally for the Kansai Festival to make Lord Wu's second lady and our third young master protect the media, but for some reason the master directly rejected it. It stands to reason that the parents of the children of the big families in the capital discussed the family affairs of the children first, and only after discussing them did they notify the husband to send someone to hire them. After all, the ladies know each other better. Mrs. Gao meant that the Wu family was originally very sincere, maybe the old lady and the old lady didn't understand, let the old lady and the old lady take a look at it again. Although Lan Xin did not worship the church back then, the sedan chair was also carried to the gate, It stands to reason that the third child is remarried. Miss Wu is innocent and innocent. Miss Wu I have also seen in the capital, beautiful, smart and clever lord, in the circle of celebrities in the capital, is a well-known talented woman, in the palace deeply favored by Concubine Wu, and well-behaved, if married, will be filial to the old lady. Let the old lady think again. ”
Lian'er's reaction made the old lady very satisfied, she did not stop her work because the eldest lady came to talk about Xinjie's marriage, and she did not have a gloomy face, and her face was calm. Chen Biyan replied lightly: "Since Lan'er has already rejected this matter, don't mention it again." ”
Mrs. Tang knew that the old lady was determined to let the third child marry the orphan girl of the Bai family, so it was okay, without the support of her mother's family, she couldn't go anywhere, just for the third child. She didn't come here for him.
"The third young master's affairs are naturally decided by the old lady, if you make up your mind, I will go back to Mrs. Gao." Anyway, she didn't have much friendship with that tall lady, but it was just a scene. Although Mr. Gao has many disciples in the court, he is an outdated emperor, and he can't get into her eyes.
"In addition, my sister-in-law in Beijing sent a letter saying that the Earl's Mansion of Zhongyi is now choosing her mother-in-law's house for their third young lady." The Earl's Mansion of Zhongyi is the maiden home of the current queen, and Uncle Zhongyi and Tang Lan used to be robes in the army, and they had a good relationship: "It is said that the people who seek relatives in Beijing have broken through the threshold. "I pretended to sell a pass here, and I didn't continue.
Chen Biyan sighed in her heart, This daughter-in-law has dealt with her for more than 20 years, why hasn't she grown up yet, but she doesn't want to lose her face too much in front of the juniors, so she has to say lazily: "The third lady of the Zhongyi Uncle family is called Zhen Min, I saw it when I was a child, but she is a virtuous and quiet girl." Her sister Zhen Yu has a lot of life, although she is five or six years older, but she is also very compatible with our Yu'er, when we were in Beijing when the two families played together, the two Yu'er, one big and one small, always stuck together, and joked that they married their Yu'er to my house, and they had a companion together. ”
"Isn't it?! It's just a pity that we are far away in Kansai, and when she said kissing, the lord was busy with other things, and he didn't bother to go up to propose. ”
Mrs. Tang did not answer, and although the child was lively, he lacked wisdom. However, Mrs. Tang doesn't care about this, she is interested in the position of the Zhen family in the harem and the court, and marrying the Zhen family will be a big help for Xintian. She doesn't want her son to just take care of the family business and have no future in the court. Many children of the high family in the capital want to marry this family and climb to the queen's maiden family.
"My sister-in-law said in the letter that the countess was looking for her, and she wanted to marry us. I think that girl is very good, the eldest and youngest grandmother of our family wants the daughter of such a high-ranking family to suppress those subordinates. ”
"Didn't Zhen Min participate in this year's autumn hunt?" Every year in this autumn hunt, the children of each family are allowed to participate in the women's boudoir, which is also an opportunity for everyone to see each other. If you go, the Zhen family really wants to get married, so they should work hard over there, instead of coming all the way to Kansai to propose marriage at this time.
"I went, but Zhen Min was not good at riding and shooting."
The old lady understood, the Zhen family was afraid that Xintian on the hunting ground would not look down on Zhen Min, so they got engaged here. It's just that she doesn't like Zhen Min's personality and looks at Wen Jing, but where can the potential pampering hypocrisy escape the eyes of her decades of watching people.
"You also know this autumn hunt, maybe Xintian can pick a noble girl he likes for you, and let's take a look."
"If it's really as your old man said, but no matter how good it is, it is not necessarily higher than this Miss Zhen, her aunt is the current queen, and her cousin is the prince. How many high-ranking disciples stared at her? ”
The old lady was really speechless, where did the children of the Tang family use selling their marriage to bind the prince and the next prince.
"Wait, wait until the kids come back. He can't see people in the paddock, and he doesn't know until he likes to see them. People are in this life, and if you have the conditions, you always have to find a person who is okay with the children. Our family doesn't have to worry about anything else, but we just want our children and grandchildren to be happy. ”
Although Mrs. Tang was extremely dissatisfied in her heart, she also knew that if she continued to talk about it, there would be no result. She felt angry, even the sister-in-law in Beijing would plan for her family's new day, why wouldn't the old lady be it, just partial to the third child. How did she know that her sister-in-law in Beijing happily took this matter in order to show her face in front of Mrs. Zhen, so that she could get closer to Mrs. Guo in the future, where was she really planning for her. Tang Lan never talked to her about business, so she never understood the current situation in the DPRK and China, without the escort of the Tang family, where could Yiyi's seat be secured.
