Chapter 211: Sandwich Biscuits for Embarrassment
This time, it is necessary to chase books all the way to the corridor between the inner and outer courtyards. Chun Ying looked carefully at the front and back, left and right, except for the occasional figure or two figures flashing behind the small doors, there were only her and the third young master on the road. This mecca road is built to prevent floods and fires or emergencies, it is said to be a southern custom, by a marquis a few generations ago presided over the construction, usually in addition to the servants who watch the night, only the family members who take the shortcut will go from here, it is really a good place to whisper. Chun Ying beat a drum in her heart, looking at the back of the third young master in front of her, she was so entangled that she had to secretly type the words she was going to say several times.
Third young master, don't blame me, you are cousins, and if you really want to get married, it's not a good thing, and you can't give birth to a fool. If I hadn't been cornered, I wouldn't have interfered, not to mention that the final result was not caused by me, if you want to blame the Huo family and the Gu family......
The third young master, Li You, didn't go too far, and when he saw that there was no one in the passage, he stopped by a wall where there was no small door opening. Turning his head, he said coldly: "What's going on with the Huo family's cousin's marriage?!" I listened to the letter from the old lady, and thought it was the Huo family's own opinion, but someone told me that my cousin had already had an affair with the Gu family's son, and you and Shi'er were originally my people, waiting in that courtyard, didn't you see any traces?! Why don't you come and report to me?! The more he thought about it, the more angry he became: "No wonder I'm so diligent and careful, my cousin is lukewarm, and people who dare to love me think I'm a fool?!" ”
Chun Ying was already prepared, and said busily: "The third young master must not think like this!" Which one is this chewing his tongue in front of you? Miss Cousin has always been very polite to you, and she never had such thoughts! ”
"What's the rumor?!" Li You tightened his brows, "Then you persuaded me not to be too ostentatious, did you notice it?" Why don't you just tell me straight?! ”
At that time, how did she know that Huo Yi would really marry the Gu family? I was still worried about the complaint, and in the future, Huo Yi became the third young grandmother, and she would give her small shoes to wear, and said busily: "That time, the second young master went to the old lady to ask for peace, and he was in a hurry when he entered the house, and the young ladies and Miss Cousin avoided behind the screen, and they almost didn't have time, and then the second young lady had no taboo to talk to the second young master, and she also pulled Miss Fan, and after returning to the hospital, Aunt Qing was muttering that it was not in accordance with the rules, because the second young master was already old, and the two young ladies were at the age of leaving the cabinet. When I heard this, I thought, Miss Biao's house rules are probably very strict. I was afraid that the third young master would be too close, but it would annoy Miss Biao, so I persuaded you. In front of Young Master Zhou, I can't say that the second young master is not, and I don't mean anything else. ”
"Is that so?" Li You's anger decreased slightly, but he still didn't give up, "What's going on with the Gu family's son?!" ”
Chun Ying hurriedly said: "Shi'er and I don't know where such rumors come from, although we are just waiting in the upper room, and Miss Biao's personal errand has never been our turn, but if there is really a personal relationship, where can we hide it?" In addition to going back to the Huo family's house or going to the second master of the Huo family, Miss Biao will only go out of the house when she enters the palace to greet the queen, and at other times, she stays in the house, and even Mrs. Gu does things, but only sends the housekeeper to the temple to make arrangements. When Miss Cousin went out, I didn't follow, but I think there are many people waiting, and I can't hide any accidents, so where to start with my personal feelings? ”
Li You listened. I already believe it a little, but the doubts in my heart can't go away for a while: "Is this true?" You are afraid that I will punish you, so you deliberately trick me, right? ”
Sanshao, can you not be so smart?!
Chun Ying secretly wiped her sweat and said with a smile: "I'm not Miss Cousin's cronies, can't I tell the difference between relatives and relatives?" The third young master has always treated us well, why should I lie to you for outsiders? "I secretly thought that after I went back, I must talk to Shi'er about it.
Li You gradually calmed down, and felt that Chunying's words also made some sense, he had always known that the gossip of the people in the family was unreliable, and he himself had suffered from it, but the person who revealed the news was the girl next to his mother after all, if things were not accurate, she would not tell herself, could there be any reason why he didn't know? So he asked in a deep voice: "Why was the big girl next to Cousin Huo, named Dong'er, thrown out?" I've heard that it was because she leaked her cousin's affair to others that caused this discussion. If my cousin is innocent, how did this rumor come about? ”
Sure enough, my wife did it! Chunying scolded secretly in her heart, and pretended to be puzzled: "What Dong'er said outside, I don't know, Miss Biao picked her up because she didn't come back overnight, and she was sent back early in the morning by the people on the second door." Miss Biao thought that she had lost the face of the Huo family, and she was afraid that people would gossip, so she asked someone to take her back. I was afraid that someone would chew her tongue and ruin Miss Cousin's reputation and make the old lady angry, and I specially instructed the other girls not to mention this matter to others. ”
Li You suddenly realized that the girl next to the young lady. If there is any indiscretion and it is known to others, it is indeed a big scandal. He felt angry when he thought about it, thinking that Dong'er was unruly, punished, and deliberately slandered the reputation of his master, which was really disloyal and unjust, he wanted to warn the girl next to his mother that he was, how could he talk about something that had no shadow, and even disregarded the reputation of his own young lady? If this kind of thing spreads outside, the girls in the entire Hou Mansion will not be able to see people!
Chunying was watching her face from the sidelines, her eyes rolled, and she said: "Actually, Miss Biao's family affair, I heard that it has been said for a long time. When the second wife of the Huo family came that day, she mentioned to the old lady and Miss Cousin that when the aunt was there, she had discussed the matter of marrying with the Gu family, but then the aunt was gone, and the family let go of the foreign post, so it was delayed, and it is said that the aunt mentioned it to the old lady before she died. Now that the son of the Gu family has won the Jinshi, Master Gu took the letter from the old man to the Huo family to propose marriage. Second Master Huo saw that it was his brother's last life, so he responded without saying a word. When Miss Biao heard about it that day, she was taken aback, and the old lady and the people in front of her could see it clearly. The third young master doesn't believe it, can he go and ask? ”
Li You remembered that when his grandmother told him, he did tell himself not to blame his cousin, saying that his cousin himself couldn't think of such a thing, and he regretted it a little in his heart, but because he listened to other people's gossip, he was suspicious of his cousin's character, but fortunately he didn't make any trouble. Otherwise, if he was scolded in front of his grandmother and father, wouldn't he have cheapened his second brother for nothing?
But he was still a little sullen in his heart: "How can a good thing be like this? I've never heard of Cousin Huo even dating someone else! Originally, my mother was not happy, and my cousin wanted to keep filial piety, and I didn't think it would be done, but depending on my grandmother's meaning, it seemed that she was going to get married, so I had the idea of wanting to please my cousin. ”
Chun Ying persuaded: "The third young master cares about his cousin, but he is the heart of friendship as an elder brother, who dares to laugh at you?" The gossip spread by others, that is the panic of others! The old lady, the Hou Ye and the lady never mentioned that there was a marriage contract between the third young master and Miss Biao, it was all some people chewing their tongues! ”
Li You smiled, straightened up, and raised his chin: "That's!" I'm a good brother! The second sister and the third sister, I often send things, and others gossip, that's because they misunderstood! Although I am unhappy, I can only do this, although Cousin Huo is good, there may not be a better one in the future. Probably because of fate, otherwise my cousin has been filial piety for half a year, why did my grandmother delay mentioning the marriage, and in the end it was cheaper for others?
Looking back at Chun Ying, the suspicious place turned into awe of himself, Li You was satisfied: "This time I heard it wrong, you go back and do a good job, you must do your best to serve Cousin Huo!" If you don't do a good job, I won't spare you! ”
Chunying was too busy to respond, and said a good word according to his tone, until he left satisfied, only to breathe a sigh of relief, and secretly wiped a cold sweat.
It's hard to do. Especially this kind of sandwich biscuit-like ring, she is about to become a liar, I hope this depressed day will end soon!
Turning back to the road in front of the second gate, I don't know if it's because of Chunying's cold sweat a lot, others saw her, but they didn't misunderstand to go elsewhere, but a few more familiar mothers-in-law curiously asked her what she did to offend the third young master, she laughed haha and mixed up casually, and wanted to withdraw, but suddenly heard a woman begging for something outside the second gate, why did she hear a little like Manru's voice.
She followed the prestige, but only saw a few mothers-in-law pushing a young woman in blue to leave, because the woman had her back to her, and she couldn't see whether it was Manru or not, but the back was much thinner than Manru, so she felt that she had heard it wrong, and after thinking about it, she felt that even if it was really Manru, it had nothing to do with herself, so she said hello to those mothers-in-law and went back to the small courtyard.
The weather gradually turned to autumn colors, and suddenly it rained for a few days, and a cool breeze began to blow in the evening.
Fan Xiru was elected to live in the palace for half a month, and then came out safely and steadily, not fat or thin, and he was in a very happy mood, not caring at all that he was not selected.
In this batch of selected ladies, only six beauties from well-off families or low-level officials were selected into the harem, three of them were only named the lowest ladies, two were named electors, and only the distant niece of the Empress Dowager Liu was named a talented person. Before the decree of canonization was issued, the news of the queen's pregnancy again also spread throughout the court and the opposition, and it is said that it has been four months.
This news broke all the speculations caused by the queen's sudden illness, and the result was naturally happy and worried. The queen already has two healthy princes, and if she is pregnant with another child, no matter whether she gives birth to a boy or a girl, her position cannot be more stable. The low grade of the new concubines also showed the emperor's respect for the empress, and some people in the court had to put aside their original intentions and start other ideas.
The beauties who were not selected were not all able to go home and marry on their own, those who were born in a high-ranking family or a family of eunuchs in Beijing were returned, and many beauties from all over the country called the emperor an edict and distributed it to the palaces of various clans and princes and ministers, and King Jing, who had always been good friends with the emperor, naturally got two more.
As soon as the old lady and the marquis of the Qingguo Marquis Mansion heard the news, they began to worry about Princess Jing. Princess Jing has only had one son since she married King Jing for many years, and she has tightly controlled her husband, except for the two concubines arranged by herself, the other concubines in the palace are almost widows, and there is already some gossip in the clan. The last time the emperor gave a beauty, she sent four back to her parents' house without saying a word, at that time she had only given birth to a son not long ago, and she was being favored, so the emperor just laughed it off, this time it can't be done again!
The old lady hurriedly asked her son to go out to inquire, and after two days, she didn't hear any movement, so she sent someone to ask. The man saw Princess Jing, and saw that although she was a little angry, she didn't have much of a seizure, and on the night when the beauty entered the mansion, he let King Jing favor one of them, and the food, clothing, housing, transportation and waiting people were all arranged. The man privately asked Yunzhu, who was waiting beside the princess, to know that Princess Jing had also made trouble, but the palace concubine Niangniang sent someone to appease her, and also said a lot of truths about being a good wife. Princess Jing is now angry and has nowhere to vent, so it has stopped.
When the old lady heard the report, she breathed a sigh of relief, and was busy asking someone to send a bunch of medicinal supplements and toys that the little boy liked, and asked her granddaughter to relax, she was the wife of the Yuan, she had the eldest son, and she was on the jade plate, who could shake her status?
But Hou Ye's mood is a little complicated. King Jing's Mansion has already sealed the prince, and there is no shortage of concubines, and the daughter is also very popular in the palace, why does the emperor not give it early or late, but at this time he gave a beauty? also asked the concubine to send someone to warn her daughter not to be jealous, her daughter had done more excessive things before, but the palace didn't care about it at all!
Now that the Liang faction in the DPRK has declined, Liang Taishi is sick at home, completely ignoring political affairs, and the emperor has finally tasted the taste of being his own master, is this the emperor to limit the power of the heroes? The cunning rabbit is dead, the lackeys are cooking, is this day too early?
(The minds of the big guys are just too complicated...... Ask for pink ......)...
