Chapter 89: A Double-edged Sword
The second lady accompanied her mother-in-law out of Xiyuan, and just happened to meet Zhu Chengye and her son Zhu Pingluo returning home, the old lady looked at the father and son coming, and then looked at the Yunzhi around her, and smiled at the second lady: "Your family is all good-looking." ”
"That's not your ......" The second lady wanted to say, it was not born and raised by you, but her heart turned, they and the old lady have no blood relationship, and the conversation changed and said, "It's all thanks to your careful training." ”
The old lady knew that she had said the wrong thing, and she would not go back, so she just didn't hear it, and when the father and son approached, she asked them to go back and rest earlier, and she only took Yunzhi away.
The second old man told his daughter: "Serve the old lady well, don't just play." ”
Yun Zhi responded, didn't say much, and quickly walked away.
Seeing the old and young leave, Jiang said to her husband: "You instructed in vain, and you made the old lady unhappy when you said it, she raised Yun'er in the palm of her hand, and you want us to talk more?" ”
Zhu Chengye said: "I am her father, I can't say anything, you don't always look at the old lady's face, I can't raise my godfather's fault, how can I shirk my responsibility." ”
Jiang Shi heard that the words were wrong, and asked his son: "In the court today, there is something that does not go well, and your father is very angry." ”
I only heard my son answer: "Everything is too peaceful, why does my mother ask this?" ”
The second master said, "Okay, let's rest, you don't have to be in front of you." ”
Jiang didn't want to say anything more, after the family dispersed, the young lady followed her husband back to their small courtyard, the son and daughter couldn't find their mother and refused to sleep, and saw their father come back, so they couldn't put it down.
The young lady dotted the official robe that her husband had changed, instructed the maid to pass the food, and when she was done, she said with a smile: "Hurry up and eat, don't mess with them." ”
Ping Luo came over with her little girl in her arms and asked her wife: "Mother is embarrassed for you today, is she angry?" ”
The young lady said angrily: "Don't say these things in front of the child. ”
So she ordered the nurse to take the two dolls, pushed her husband to dinner, and cooked vegetables for him on the side, while saying: "There is always something new in the family, and my mother can't be angry, so many years have come, so why bother me." ”
Speaking of this, she asked, "But I see, is my father angry?" ”
Ping Luo nodded: "Something happened to the ministry, and someone pushed the blame on my father, although it was resolved, the impact was always bad." In fact, if my father asked my uncle to come forward, things would be much easier, and he refused to bow to my uncle. Why should a brother be like this, my uncle will not ask my father to bow his head, he just wants to save face. ”
"Be quiet." The young lady reminded her husband, and then said softly, "I am always a little unsure in my heart, but if I think about it, there are indeed many things that have not been solved at home. ”
Ping Luo smiled gently: "It has nothing to do with us, you and I act openly and fairly, don't worry about the troubles of others." Do you really think that the Zhu family is stronger than the Prime Minister's Mansion? In the Gaomen mansion, which family doesn't have some chicken and dog bits and pieces, how can there be less open and secret fighting, just for a good word. ”
When the words fell, I heard the cry of the little doll, and the nurse hugged Miss Sun in front of the door and said: "The girl must be with her father, and she can't be coaxed, eldest son, you can coax." ”
Ping Luo got up and went to the door, hugged the crying little girl, coaxed her to burst into tears and laughed, and the young lady stepped forward and patted her daughter's buttocks: "Naughty." ”
The couple sat down and continued to eat, Ping Luo smiled and said, "The third aunt's child is born, what should we call Yanran?" ”
"Naturally, it's an uncle or an aunt, even if she's a few years older." The young lady hugged her daughter so that her husband could eat, and mentioned Qingqiu Pavilion together, saying that the brothers and sisters were very lively together today, and she looked forward to Yanran in the future to have a good husband to enlighten her.
Ping Luo said: "It's been a few days since Qingqiu Pavilion began, I haven't gone to greet me, you can send me something another day, and say thank you to Miss Yan." ”
The young lady replied gently: "I will take care of these things, you don't have to worry about it." ”
Ping Luo was eating, and when he raised his eyes to see his wife, his eyes gradually became ambiguous: "Don't say it, the third uncle is really capable." ”
The young lady saw her husband's bad intentions, covered her daughter's ears, and looked shy and cute: "You are not allowed to be presumptuous, more and more improper." ”
The little couple on this side are affectionate and sweet, but the second lady over there has to be careful to stay by her husband's side.
Zhu Chengye ate half a bowl of rice, but he had no appetite, so he sent Aunt Mei down to discuss with his wife and ask her mother's family to come forward to do a few things.
The second lady's maiden family is also a Houmen nobleman, but she is not as noble as the Zhu family, otherwise she would not marry her, the daughter of the concubine, to the son of the concubine.
But when they were young, the couple also had sweet love, but those feelings have long been wasted by the years.
Outside the door, Aunt Mei withdrew with her maidservant, far away, and her maid whispered: "The third lady is a few years older than you, and now she can still be pregnant, don't you want a man and a woman by her side?" ”
Aunt Mei shook her head: "Have you seen it, the second master has always only discussed with his wife when he has something, and I am by his side, but it is just to relieve boredom and be funny." The two sons in this room are good children with good hearts, I am not afraid of getting old and down, I don't have any threat to the second lady, and she will not treat me badly. Otherwise, if I give birth to a child, I don't know, I am not thorough, and I still want him to become a thorn in the side of others, why should I bother. ”
The maid listened reasonably, and nodded again and again: "What you said is, look at the two aunts in the big house, our second lady here still treats you as a sister, everything is discussed, and she never scolds." But Aunt Liu, their lives are sad, but they all have children, and they should be more expensive. ”
Aunt Mei advised: "Say a few words, and carefully come out of your mouth." ”
And at this moment, the Liu family and the Chu family were standing respectfully in front of the eldest lady, I don't know how long it has been, the Yang family has not spoken, and the slightest movement can make the two of them tremble.
Finally waited for the next person to pass the word, the eldest master came back, and soon after Zhu Chengqian entered the door, seeing this scene, his heart was half cold, and he only pretended to be idle and asked: "Why is it so lively, are you here?" ”
"I want to ask the master to call the shots, so I called them here." The Yang family sat without moving at all, and when the maidservants came to serve her husband and took off his coat and sat down, she raised her hand to send a bowl of tea and said, "The children's business, now that the children are older, the Liu family and the Chu family are not young, there are some words that should be explained." ”
Zhu Chengqian only cared about drinking tea, but he just wanted to leave here.
The eldest lady said: "Ping Jue has a big temper these days, I don't know who is fanning the flames behind his back, provoking him to make trouble with me, what do you say?" ”
The Liu family and the Chu family were frightened, and knelt down one after another: "Big lady, we don't have it, we really don't." ”
Yang asked: "I don't raise your children well, and I plan to ...... them."
"Stand down." Zhu Chengqian suddenly spoke, interrupting these words, and the tea bowl he put down was slammed hard, which shocked Yang's eyebrows, and he continued, "Stand down, I have something important to discuss with my wife, you stand down." ”
With a stack of "retreat", the Liu family and the Chu family would not be stunned no matter how stupid they were, they helped each other to get up, and hurriedly walked away.
"What do you mean?" Yang glared at her husband angrily, "In front of them, hit me in the face? ”
Zhu Chengqian suppressed his temper and said calmly: "I want to discuss Hanzhi's matter with you." ”
Yang's long eyebrows were raised: "What's wrong with Hanzhi?" ”
Zhu Chengqian said: "I want to visit Princess Min and make it clear to her about Hanzhi, the child's anxiety is not caused by man, if she can understand, the two families will be harmonious, and we don't have to worry about it." ”
"No, are you crazy?" Yang said angrily, "They should be let die of this heart, and don't see Hanzhi again in this life." Zhu Chengqian, think about it, why did we do this in the first place, in order not to implicate this family, but it is a double-edged sword, which in turn becomes you and me hurting the emperor's heir, and it can still cut our throats. I'm wholeheartedly wishing your family, if you don't care, okay, it's a big deal to die together. ”
"Don't get so excited." Zhu Chengqian said, "I didn't say that you did anything wrong, I just want to solve it better, do you keep worrying, paper can't contain fire." ”
"If you can't cover it, you have to wrap it." The eldest lady said, "Hanzhi was born by me, and I will naturally decide her affairs, you have a son and daughter, but I am afraid that I can't tell a little bit of truth, why bother to be pretended." ”
Zhu Chengqian said: "Don't get excited, say something boring. ”
Yang said coldly: "Besides, there are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door, so it's better for the prince not to go to see their mother and daughter alone, you'd better stay away from that woman and away from the palace gate." Even if you don't care about anything else, you should always take care of the emperor's thoughts, your son of heaven will never forget the old love, and whoever gets close to half a step will prick his eyeballs. ”
Zhu Chengqian also remembered the incident more than 20 years ago for a while, and said with a wry smile: "It's been more than 20 years, as for it?" ”
Yang sneered: "Why not, the queen mother can still be wrong?" I advise the lord to listen to me, stay away from the Kishu Palace, and don't anger the emperor. ”
Zhu Chengqian frowned and asked his wife, "What is the queen going to do?" ”
