Chapter 144: Driving People Out
Shen Rong used to live outside the pass, and she only had two thoughts about the Great Wei woman, either she was afraid to speak out, or she was as arrogant as a Tuoba woman. Because the Shen family didn't have a good impression of Da Wei, she was so impatient to rush over when she first learned that Guan Ping had actually married a Da Wei woman.
Unexpectedly, it has only been a few days now, but it has subverted her previous thoughts.
In any case, Dawei is much more prosperous than Guanwai, such as all kinds of rouge, such as Dawei's dazzling cloth. No matter what kind of character the girl's family has, it is always more warm to talk about these things together, and the cloth just sent from the house, Sheng Mingzhu is the owner, so she let the sisters choose first.
Lingzhu has always been a polite person, the county lord of Yongning picked a red one, and Shen Rong picked a light blue dress that suited her heartβa few people were talking, and there was suddenly some chaos outside the house, and Steward Zheng walked out of the room with a smile on his face, and said to Sheng Mingzhu, "Madam, my lord is back." β
Sheng Mingzhu saw that he was smiling brightly, so he asked, "What's wrong with him coming back, is there anything good about the housekeeper to laugh like this?" β
Xu realized that his emotions were too exposed, Steward Zheng slightly collected the expression on his face, but finally couldn't hold back, and the little maid who was waiting next to him said, "It's Grandpa Zheng's niece and granddaughter who have come back from her husband's house in the past few days, and they haven't seen each other for six or seven years, how can you not be happy?" β
Sheng Mingzhu didn't marry in long ago, and he didn't know much about Steward Zheng's affairs, so he only smiled and didn't say anything. Soon I saw Guan Ping coming out from one side, he was wearing a proper court dress, his sleeves were windy when he walked, Lingzhu and Yongning, the two little girls, were mostly a little afraid of this Dingguo Hou, and he shrank his little head when he came from afar.
Sheng Mingzhu took the handkerchief, and when Guan Ping came over, he handed it to him and asked him to wipe his hands. Guan Pingyanfeng took a look at the girls next to his wife, and then quickly entered the house again. It was only a matter of a few breaths, and several girls in the room exhaled fiercely, Yongning looked at Lingzhu and said, "Sister Sheng is amiable, but every time I see Lord Dingguohou, I always feel a little panicked." β
Lingzhu didn't panic, but she knew that Yongning was timid, so she also followed her wishes, "My brother-in-law is too serious, and sometimes I look at him and I'm afraid." Shen Rong was beside her, she was five or six years older than these two little girls, so she didn't have to say this plainly. Next to him, Yongning raised his eyes and looked at her slightly, "Sister Shen, you said that you grew up with Master Hou, were you close to him when you were a child?" β
Shen Rong was stunned for a moment, and shook her head after a moment, "My cousin has always been reluctant to play with our younger ones. β
It's not just the young, either. There was a sudden change in my cousin's house, and I arrived at her house, and it was not easy for me to get along at that time. Just thinking about it, Guan Ping came out of the house, changed into light-colored clothes, and the solemnity of the whole person also faded a little, but his brows were still wrinkled.
"Why is the house so lively today?" He said.
In the past, he was rarely in the mansion, and Yongning would come occasionally, but basically he couldn't touch it. Sheng Mingzhu also knew about the things that the prince and Wei Xi were messing with now, and now it was a little inappropriate for a prince and concubine of the county lord of Yongning to appear in the mansion, so he leaned next to him and whispered, "It's just a little boring, so I'll find a few people to talk to." β
Guan Ping smiled and looked at the county lord of Yongning again, "It's not early, the county lord has been out for so long, and the elders in the mansion should be a little anxious." β
It's just noon, and Guan Ping's words have a bit of a sense of rushing customers. Yongning was a little afraid of him, and when he heard him say this, his face turned pale, and he didn't know what to say for a while, but fortunately, the maids who were waiting by his side were carefully selected by the crown princess, and he hurriedly stepped forward to Guan Pingfu, and said:
"It's been a long time since the county lord came out today", he bent down slightly, and secretly signaled to the county lord of Yongning. Yongning woke up and said, "Sister Sheng, it's not early today, I'm afraid that my mother will worry, so I'll go home first." As he spoke, he secretly glanced at Guan Ping again, but saw that he still had the same face as before, so he left in a hurry.
Shen Rong likes this county lord quite a lot, but she can see what her cousin means to drive people away, and she doesn't dare to say anything.
Guan Ping only stayed for a while, then went to the study again, and it was another afternoon with the door locked. Originally, a few people said it was right, but now that there is a lack of one person, there is also a lack of interest. Feeling that there was some lack in the house, Sheng Mingzhu took the two of them to sit in the courtyard, and Jin Zhi brought some jujube tea from the side.
"Lord Yongning, can't you take care of the mansion in the future?" Lingzhu is not like Shen Rong, who knows a little about the political affairs of Dawei today. Sheng Mingzhu raised her eyes slightly, originally Guan Ping came back and suddenly let Yongning leave without leaving the slightest face, how could she feel a little uncomfortable in her heart.
It's only now that Lingzhu asked like this, and suddenly realized that something was wrong. In such a situation, she is not only Sheng Mingzhu, she is also Guan Ping's wife. Just because of their proximity to the lord of Yongning, those courtiers and officials were able to make all kinds of articles on the matter of the prince, and they were widely implicated.
"It turned out that I had a fork in my mind today, Yongning is young and doesn't understand anything, and these days, I shouldn't have had much contact." Sheng Mingzhu said. Lingzhu was stunned for a while, smart people always think faster about this kind of thing, Yongning is young and doesn't understand anything, but how can the crown princess not understand anything.
It is not so easy for the royal county lord to travel, not to mention that Yongning is the eldest daughter of the prince, and the princess is in pain at the tip of her heart. It's not right to manage the government at this time, that is, Yongning doesn't understand it when he's young, and the princess doesn't understand it. Sheng Mingzhu smiled, diverted the matter, and added some tea to the quilt for the two, "In a few days, there will be a lot of fun in the Mid-Autumn Festival." Now that I'm preparing winter clothes for the house, I don't have time to go shopping with my cousin. β
Shen Rong said, "I don't want to go out and buy anything." β
"It was originally a beauty prescription in the palace, and it was accidentally obtained from the hands of the imperial doctor", Sheng Mingzhu said and picked up the jujube tea in her hand, although she was a wife, she was still in her prime, and now she was dressed in crimson clothes, her eyebrows were crooked, and she was like a beauty. Shen Rong hung her head, and the original plan in her heart faded a little.
It is said that being a wife is not as good as a concubine, she is not as beautiful as her little cousin, and her appearance is not as good as her little cousin.
ββ
The lord of Yongning County returned home at noon, his eyes were red, and his own subordinates told the princess.
The crown princess hurriedly went to her daughter's boudoir, and the lord of Yongning was wiping her tears with a handkerchief, and the maid on the side was cautiously persuading. The crown princess lowered her footsteps, walked to the edge of the bed, sat down gently, and patted the shoulder of the county lord of Yongning, "Yongning, what's wrong with going out today?" Did someone else bully you? β
When she first entered the door, the maid who was waiting with Yongning today told the crown princess what happened in the palace, but she still didn't believe it, in the end, Yongning was young, no matter how cautious she was, there was no need to be cautious about a little girl. What's more, Yongning is still a friend of Miss Sheng's family.
Don't you lose face to your own wife?
"I went to Sister Sheng today, I was fine, but when the Hou Ye came back, he asked people to send me back to the house with a cold face." Yongning said, still a little choked, "I look at Master Hou like that, I'm afraid he won't let me go to the mansion in the future, but I won't have much chance to talk to Sister Sheng in the future." β
Yongning and Lu are the age of sensible girls. But when she was young, she was bullied by evil servants, and she was originally cowardly, but now that she has just said it, she can only worry about the relationship with her friends, but the princess has a lot of thoughts in her heart, and when she reaches the point of her identity, she can't think about it anymore.
For example, Guan Ping drove Yongning out of the mansion without saving any face, what was it for? I just want to get rid of the relationship with the crown princess, or with Wei Xi - the more I think about it, the more panicked the princess naturally becomes, and she only comforted her daughter casually, and hurriedly came out of her boudoir.
"Where is the prince now?" She hurried forward, toward the study.
I haven't had much trouble these days, and when the prince comes back, he is usually in the study. The grandmother on the side wrinkled her eyebrows slightly, "Not long after the county lord went out at noon today, the prince also went out with him, and he hasn't come back yet-" After a pause, he said, "I said that today is the day of the sacrifice of the father of the concubine of Qin's side concubine, and I accompanied the side concubine to sweep the tomb." β
The crown princess's steps suddenly paused, and the dark color was a little ruthless in an instant, but she suppressed it.
"Go and inform the porter, if the prince comes back, quickly send someone to tell me."
Mama nodded yes, and the crown princess turned her head and quickly returned.
ββ
Many incidents in the prince's mansion are not clear, and the DPRK has been worried about internal and external troubles in the past few days.
The internal worry is Guan Ping and Wei Ci, the two big tumors in the court, and the external trouble is the unconscious cousin borrowed from the house. Now Shen Fang is like a giant tiger in the west, and there are a few alien races in the east, it may not be a big deal to put it in peace, but now the party struggle in the court is unbearable.
Guan Ping has been from Tanhualang all the way to the present, if he has no ambition to serve the country in his heart, how can he achieve such a status. It's just that now this outside - but it must be inside, and the heart is only boring. Especially in the morning, I held my stomach in the court, and when I returned to the house, I saw the lord of Yongning.
In the past, Guan Ping naturally didn't take it to heart, at most it was some gossip, and he felt that he was close to the prince.
But now he has a bad temper, and he is also tired of those people beating the plan on him and hitting his wife. I couldn't hold back my temper, and I put it behind me after discussing it all afternoon in the study, and when I was about to go back to my room at night, I suddenly remembered it again.
The candles in the room were faintly lit, and the people inside were not asleep.
Guan Ping opened the door slightly, and the person inside was leaning against the small window, holding a book in his hand and watching. His brows furrowed a little, shouldn't it be that she lost her face today and came to make up for it at night?
