Fragrance on Red Sleeves (III) (II)

Mrs. Liu glanced at the queen, and glanced at the girls of the Lan family, To be honest, from her heart, there is really no character worthy of Tang Xinyang. So the deadlock was broken: "The queen mother said no, this person is old, and he likes to worry about his juniors." My lord was a minister in the same hall as the second master of Tang back then, and when he talked about the second master, he was so impressed that he threw himself to the ground. The little general came to my house to play when he was young, and it has been more than ten years, but I didn't expect to be so handsome. If Second Master Tang has a spirit in the sky, it is also comforting to look at. "Anyway, I deliberately wiped the corners of my eyes with a handkerchief." The little general also came to sit down at home and talk to your uncle. ”

"The juniors must be bothered." Tang Xinyang said respectfully.

"The queen mother forgives the courtiers for being excited for a moment to intercept your words. The courtiers just suddenly thought of the old man, and her heart was uncomfortable. Mrs. Liu deliberately became more sad.

"Oh, this palace forgot, your family boss once had a great friendship with General Tang Wen Pingnan. Lord Liu and his wife, in their early years, were also childhood sweethearts with General Tang Gang. The queen said with a smile rather than a smile.

Mrs. Liu smiled slightly: "The queen mother was the first talented girl in the capital back then, and many people here have not seen the demeanor of the mother back then, which is really their loss." Although Mrs. Liu didn't like the queen to mention her bad things back then, she also knew that she couldn't get into trouble with her, so she quickly patted her ass.

"Isn't it?!" The second young lady of the Tang family, Gao, hurriedly took it: "We were still praising the sisters of the Lan family here just now. The Lan family is really capable of cultivating people, and these sisters are all top-notch, but I heard the old man in the family say, When the queen mother was among the ladies in the capital, she was famous, dignified and beautiful, otherwise how could there be such a blessing?! The courtiers follow our husband and master outside all the year round, and often come to the palace to see the demeanor of the mother, and here dare to ask the lady to give an object, and the courtiers take it back and look at it every day, and it is also good to recall the charm of the mother. ”

Mrs. Liu sneered and patted Gao's lightly: "You monkey spirit, you like to be a moth when you are not out of the cabinet at home, and Xinyu's child has not brought you to the point for so many years, and you actually dare to run to the palace to worry about Niangniang's things." ”

As soon as she said this, everyone in the temple burst out laughing.

"Mother, don't listen to her. Besides, where is the mother as stingy as you. But to be honest, everything here is definitely good. Take it back, my second master will not dislike me. You don't know that the laziest thing in my second master's body is his mouth, and it's not easy to listen to him say two words. With the mother's reward, maybe he will say a few more words to me when I go back?! Gao said with a grin.

"It turns out that Tang Ershao doesn't like to talk at home, I thought he was looking at us and didn't know each other." A woman said.

"Don't you know, we're usually at home, and if I don't talk, there will be spiders crawling in this room. He* was quiet, and he often didn't answer when I spoke. This spider is the best at listening, and if it doesn't hear movement for a long time, it thinks it's no one, and it will weave a web in the house. So I didn't dare to come out for a long time, for fear that my second master would be surrounded by cobwebs when I went home. Gao said with a smile: "So Niangniang asked Rong Chen's wife to leave." ”

Then he stood up and saluted. The queen naturally didn't want to stay long, and Tang Xinyang and the other wives also left one after another. Only the Lan family remained.

Seeing that everyone was gone, Mrs. Lan carefully tested: "Although this Gao family is from a military general's family, he is a clever person with exquisite faces. ”

The queen glanced at her sister-in-law impatiently: "What's wrong with the general's family, it's even more terrible for the general's family to come out." Those who came out alive on the battlefield, do you think it's just martial arts and good luck? How can you do without brains and vision. Gao has been loved by General Gao since he was a child, and there must be a reason. When the old lady of the Tang family chose her granddaughter-in-law, she also chose the Gao family after thousands of choices. Not only because of the lintel of the Gao General's Mansion, but because of the Gao family's extraordinary courage and intelligence.

In the early years, you asked you to send two nephews to join the army, but you refused. Ruo Fang is too, he could have followed his second brother to take office two years earlier, but he didn't go, and his knowledge was not solid, and now he can't get ahead in Hongwen Hall. If a few of them can make a name for themselves in the barracks, our Lan family will be more tough. You don't want to, and you're not raising them for nothing. But as long as they have some military merits, they are all easy to transfer back now, and they can gain a foothold in the imperial court. Look at the children of the Tang family, although we say that they are arrogant, but if they are arrogant, they have capital. When Tang Xinyang was hunting in autumn, he not only saved the emperor, but also helped the palace a lot, and the eldest and ninth of the Tang family stood in front to block the arrows for Yi'er. These feats cannot be made with the skin of the mouth. If you can educate the children of your family to be like this, why do my Lan family need to worry so hard now. ”

The two Mrs. Lan could only make promises, but they didn't think so. The eldest lady said in her heart, this is not your son, of course you don't feel distressed, you have to endure hardships in the barracks. The second wife was also unconvinced, in order to stabilize the queen's position and help her sister, the second master Lan went to Gannan to be the governor, and the brother had already done his best for her, did he have to catch up with his nephew. Now that her son is a civil official in Hongwenguan, her aunt doesn't support her, and she complains.

The queen glanced at their blank looks, and knew she couldn't talk to them.

"Forget it, it's too late to say that. But these girls, you should be more attentive when you go back. The queen said angrily.

Mrs. Lan bowed her head again and replied, "Hey, the courtiers know. I don't know if there are other candidates besides the Rongguo Mansion. This little General Tang just now? ”

"The matter of the Rongguo Mansion, although it is likely to give us face, but you still talk about it again and decide the next step. Don't let people think that we are in a hurry to marry our daughter. As for Tang Xinyang, you also saw the situation just now. ”

"Niangniang, forgive the courtiers for their courage," Second Mrs. Lan finally had a chance to speak: "The Tang family really doesn't give Niangniang face. They are too self-righteous. If it goes on like this, outsiders will still think that we are begging the Tang family. ”

The queen just snorted and didn't speak.

The second wife was even bolder: "The courtiers heard that some time ago, there were many ginseng Tang families in the court, if it wasn't for the queen mother who was there to block them, they would have died a long time ago." Niangniang should abandon the Tang family. There are more people available in this court, and there is not only one Tang family. ”

Mrs. Lan frowned: "Brother and sister, don't talk nonsense about this. ”

"Where am I talking nonsense," Second Mrs. Lan suddenly stalked: "Some time ago, the second master returned to Beijing to report on his work, and many military officers from the DPRK and China will discuss with him in the future, and they will impeach the Tang family again, forcibly overbearing in the army, and appointing private individuals. ”

The queen also frowned, not for the Tang family, but for the second brother who didn't come to discuss this matter with her. Some time ago, she knew about the continuous impeachment of people related to the Tang family, and at that time Yiyi told her that this was done by the prince's political enemies, if Yi'er didn't lie to her, if the second brother was co-opted, the matter would be complicated, and the second Mrs. Lan was still talking, and she suddenly interrupted her: "This kind of thing, you can't say it again." It's complicated, and it's not something that you, a backhouse woman, can know. Thinking of Yi'er's attitude, she spoke again: "We can't offend the Tang family, and we must have a good relationship." Although Cher's incident was a bit unexpected, it was also Cher's mistake, and no one else can be blamed. It's just that we didn't prepare ourselves and used the wrong people. ”

"What do you mean?" Mrs. Lan asked cautiously.

"Let Ruohan Ruofang and them make friends with the children of the Tang family as much as possible. If you can become an in-law, you can do it. ”

When Lan Ruoqian heard this, she looked up at the queen eagerly. It's just that Mrs. Lan frowned: "Ruohan, they usually get close to some of the children of the family and the literati in the academy. The young children of the Tang family all learned at home, and there was little intersection between the two sides. ”

"Can't be friends without being in a college? They're all adults, and you tell them to do these things, you don't have to teach them. If you can't even do such a small thing, how can you do a big thing in the future?! The queen finally couldn't help but lose her temper. My mother's family is really worried. Originally, she was not powerful in the palace, and when Yi'er was not the prince, they couldn't help, she could only rely on her father's friendship with the queen mother to live cautiously, and her mother's sister-in-law didn't like to help her very much. Now that Yi'er has become the crown prince, and he is the prince of the prison country with real power, her mother's family wants to rely on her again.

The troubles of the past few days, the warning that the Queen Mother gave her openly and secretly yesterday, looking at this group of so-called relatives who are only promised, made her suddenly feel disheartened: "You were also complaining about the arrogance of the Tang family just now. But have you ever thought carefully about why the Tang family is so strong? In addition to the foundation of the ancestors, every child of the Tang family, what you can see in the capital, can be in charge. The second grandfather of the Tang family, at the age of twelve, went out with his father and infiltrated the enemy to rescue people when the two sides were fighting. It is precisely because of this that the Queen Mother dares to hand over great things to them. Now even Yi'er is convinced that handing over the matter to the brothers of the Tang family must be better than handing it over to someone else. Compare the children of the Lan family. Can Hongu leave anything to them to do with confidence? are also relatives, how can you make this palace embarrassing?! ”

"Mother," the grandmother beside the queen whispered to her. Since Concubine Chen's attack at the flower banquet, the queen has been in an irritable mood, and today it is estimated that it has reached its peak. But the two wives of my uncle's family are good people, not only can they not give advice to the queen, but they will cause chaos. How can you expose your emotions to them at this time, in case they go out and cause an accident, isn't it more difficult to clean up? Moreover, the people from the Inner Chamberlain Mansion were already waiting outside, so she hurriedly reminded: "Today's time to save relatives has arrived, and several fathers-in-law from the Inner Chamberlain Mansion are waiting outside." Moreover, according to the requirements of the Queen Mother, the next courtier's visit to the audience arranged in advance the fiancée of the third young master of the Tang family..."
