Chapter 056 Waiting to be Married (1)

P: Wow, a certain Samu is wrong, thank you for u_yer and Shibi, woo, this is the first time that a certain Sa has received so many rewards, it's really jelly, too scared, ~~~~(&g;_&l;)~~~~, thank you for your support, thank you!!

The princess's mansion, the lake pavilion, and the gossip of the women are still in progress:

"Hey, if according to you, it's bad for the eldest son to take a lot of money to support his father, but it's good for the younger son who has no money but insists on charging his uncle? Clearly it is a fallacy! Lady A listened to Lady B's words, and couldn't help but roll her eyes and retort.

"That is, speaking of that Wang Jinjue, he really deserves to be the son of Master Wang. Holding the silver that was my sister's private property all day long, I followed behind Uncle Zheng Guo's doorman, and tried my best to please him. Hey, he's also a scholar, and I've heard that he has made a name for himself, why has he become so flattering now? Live like a villain, alas, I see, the Qingyuan Wang family is about to fall. The lady also nodded again and again, and sighed with emotion while twisting up the refreshments on the table.

"Actually, it's nothing. After all, there is a decree in the imperial court, and those children of the family who rebel against the two kings are not allowed to go out for three generations, and the third young master Wang can't be an official, so he naturally has to think of some other ways. Besides," the noble lady paused, deliberately looked around, and found that there were no outsiders, then she lowered her voice and said: "Since the fifth prince born to Concubine Zheng passed his fourteenth birthday, the direction of the court has changed. The Zheng family is even more aggressively recruiting subordinates, I heard that the housekeepers of the Zheng Mansion openly sell their official positions in the eastern and western cities, although they are all idle official positions such as the Hanlin Academy, but they are also officials of the imperial court. ”

"But no, I've heard about it too," Lady A hurriedly took over the topic, pointed to the peach forest on the other side of the lake with the handle of her fan, and whispered: "Have you seen those scholars, I estimate that when they finish participating in this flower paper banquet, most of them will vote under the Zheng family." If it weren't for the recruitment of troops, Princess Jingwei would not have re-bloomed the flower paper banquet. ”

"My sister is right, the Zheng family is really doing everything to recruit talents. And it's not just their family, have you received an invitation to the Cui family's flower-viewing banquet? Lady C nodded, several of them were close personal friends, and each other's husbands were also like-minded colleagues, and their political views were basically the same, so they were much less vigilant when they talked to each other.

After she said this, after seeing the other two people nodding one after another, she continued: "Princess Jingwei has made a flower paper banquet, and the princess's maiden family has come to a flower-viewing banquet. ”

"Oh, what are you talking about?" Seeing that the topic was becoming more and more sensitive, Lady A hurriedly smiled and changed the topic, "By the way, Mrs. Li was invited by Princess Jingwei to talk, and she also went for a long time, why haven't you seen her come out?" You say, what did Princess Jingwei call Mrs. Li to do this time? Do you still want to stuff women into the Guogong Mansion? ”

"Hehe, it's possible," the lady C also regretted what she just said, although they were best friends, but, but there were some things that could not be said even between sisters, mother and daughter, why did she lose her heart, and said it in a daze.

Fortunately, everyone understands people, and seeing that the noble lady A took the initiative to help change the topic, she was also happy to cooperate, covered her mouth and chuckled: "Princess Jingwei probably forgot, the imperial court has given the beautiful concubines to the descendants of the Duke of Fuguo many times, but which one can end up well?" Monks who are monks, who die of illness, and even those who barely survive, are just living dead who can only breathe. The descendants of the old lord are not at the mercy of others. ”

Lady C's brain seems to be a little short-circuited today, and she always talks about some very sensitive topics, which makes the other two noblewomen present very entangled.

"Speaking of Lord Li, I think of something. A few days ago, the Plum Blossom Theater rehearsed a new play, which seems to be the legendary story of Lord Li, and I heard that it is not bad. "Lady A fully shows that she is not only a gossip master, but also good at crooked buildings.

"Really? Hehe, then I'm going to take a look, do you know, there is a Xiao Dan in the Plum Blossom Theater, with a good appearance, a good figure, and a rare clear voice, our old lady likes her play the most. Lady B continued to crook the building.

"How is your old lady doing? Oh, last time I went to the house to ask her old man to say goodbye, the old lady specially instructed me...... "I didn't wait for lady C to interject, lady A hurriedly took over the topic and prepared to pull the topic to the edge of the sky."

"Okay, I went to the Temple of Mercy and Grace on the fifteenth day of this month to make incense, hey, speaking of the Temple of Mercy and Grace, ......"

Under the guidance of the two noble ladies, the topic became farther and farther away, and when Mrs. Li took Cui Yunniang back to Huxin Pavilion, the three women were talking about whose daughter-in-law was virtuous and whose mother-in-law was domineering.

"Oh, Mrs. Li is back, please take a seat!"

Lady A was facing the corridor leading to the Huxin Pavilion, and when she raised her eyes, she saw Mrs. Li coming over with a solemn face, and she hurriedly stood up and greeted.

"Hehe, don't sit down, there's something going on at home, I'll go back first, and your wives will talk slowly."

Mrs. Li didn't mean to stay at all, she came in and greeted a few familiar ladies, and then left quickly with Cui Yunniang.

Looking at the hurried backs of Mrs. Li and her entourage, the three women couldn't help but glance at each other, and found that each other's eyes flashed with the desire to gossip, and before they could sit down, they quietly guessed why Mrs. Li left the table early.

"Auntie, are you alright?"

Holding Mrs. Li into the carriage, Cui Yunniang saw that her face instantly turned blue, and hurriedly asked with concern, "Is Princess Jingwei embarrassed you?" Still is? ”

Mrs. Li waved her hand and looked at Cui Yunniang fixedly, her eyes full of inquiry.

Being watched by the scorching gaze, Cui Yunniang was very puzzled, and inexplicably a little weak-hearted, she moved her buttocks uncomfortably, and then touched her face again, pretending to be dazed and asked, "Auntie, is there something wrong with me?" ”

Could it be that the aunt knew about the small talk with a few noble ladies just now?

Cui Yunniang was a little flustered by Mrs. Li's eyes, she subconsciously avoided the other party's gaze, and couldn't help but guess in her heart: Well, I didn't say anything, why did my aunt look at her like this?

Mrs. Li stared at Cui Yunniang for a long time, and when she saw that her eyes kept dodging, she couldn't help but think of some things that Princess Jingwei said to her, sighed in her heart, and suddenly said: "Yunniang, you have been in the capital for some days, my aunt is busy with the affairs of the Guogong Mansion all day long, and she can't take care of you, and there are no acquaintances in the capital, so that you don't even have a friend of the same age, and you are lonely, I saw that you were not in good spirits yesterday, are you homesick?" ”

"Huh?" Cui Yunniang paused, she didn't understand the meaning of Mrs. Li's words, obviously she literally cared about her and felt sorry for her, but for some reason, she couldn't hear any emotion from Mrs. Li's tone.

Holding back the uneasiness in her heart, Cui Yunniang lowered her eyes, lowered her head and whispered: "Yun Niang is indeed homesick, misses her father, mother and sisters, but, but Yun Niang wants to follow her aunt more, and, there are ~~"

Speaking of this, Cui Yunniang blushed, and she was hesitant for a long time, but she still didn't say the word 'cousin'.

Of course, Mrs. Li understood her niece's thoughts, and before she heard Princess Jingwei's words today, she was also happy to fulfill her niece, but ...... Shaking her head secretly, Mrs. Li looked at the shy Cui Yunniang with some reluctance, but the love in her eyes was slowly receding.

The son is right, the niece's heart is too big and too flexible, and she may not be suitable to be the daughter-in-law of the Li family.

Mrs. Li gently patted Cui Yunniang's shoulder, comforting as usual, but she had already begun to think in her heart, well, counting the days, Wang Qiniang should also get rid of it, and after they received the official edict of pardon today, she would send someone to the Wang family as soon as possible to talk about the marriage date.

On the other side, the people of the Wang family are also talking to Wang Jinyu about the removal of clothes and Wang Qifang's family affairs.

"When I came, the old lady specially explained that while I was asked to take back the eldest master and the third young master, I also wanted to take you and the seventh lady back to Qingyuan."

This time, the old lady sent the second master of the family, and I saw that he was covered with wind and dust, and his eyebrows were also full of exhaustion, and he said the old lady's words lightly.

"It's hard work second uncle, my father and third brother are still 'busy' outside, and they are not in the inn, and it is estimated that they will not be able to come back until the evening. As for me, I originally planned to leave at the end of the month and rush back to Qingyuan before my mother's death day. Since the old lady sent you to pick you up, it is naturally better, and I can go home with you at any time. ”

Wang Jinyu is still gentle and elegant in the past, and her attitude is also very humble, but when she mentioned her sister, her eyebrows furrowed, and she said hesitantly: "But Qi Niang is there...... I don't know if the second uncle has heard that a few months ago, Qi Niang did not obey her father's orders and was kicked out of the Wang family by her father, and her father also went to the government to register. Jin Yu was worried, and his father was angry and had already written to the patriarch...... In this way, where does Qi Niang still have the face to go back? ”

Listening to Wang Jinyu's words, Wang Mingshan was not surprised, obviously he had heard about this matter a long time ago, and it is estimated that before coming, the old lady also explained to him how to deal with this matter.

I saw him rub his swollen eyebrows, sighed lightly, and said, "The old lady already knows about this matter, but such a major event as expelling the Seventh Lady from the Wang family still needs the patriarch to speak." When I came, the patriarch specially explained that the daughter of the Wang family should marry in the Wang family, so that Qi Niang could go home with peace of mind. ”

Although it was not explicitly stated, Wang Mingshan's meaning was very clear, that is, the Wang family still had the final say on the old lady and the patriarch, and Wang Mingchuan did not have this qualification for the time being.

Besides, Wang Mingchuan rebelled against the king of Qi and almost buried the entire Wang family, he is already a sinner of the Wang family, whether he can continue to stay in the Wang family is still a question, where does he still have the right to fire others?

Wang Mingshan's eyes flashed with disdain, and he said, "By the way, in order to rescue the eldest master and the third young master, did Qi Niang donate two properties?" The old lady ordered, saying that the family had not been divided yet, and the affairs of the eldest lord and their affairs were the affairs of the entire Wang family, and Qi Niang could not be left alone. However, the other expenses can only be borne by your big house. ”

Wang Jinyu raised his eyebrows, he understood that Wang Mingshan's so-called 'other expenses' probably referred to the money squandered by Wang Mingchuan's father and son.

In this way, what Wang Mingchuan and his son did in the capital have been reported back to Qingyuan's hometown? Could it be Qi Niang's arrangement?

"I did it!"

On the official road, Wang Qifang and Wang Jinyu sat in the carriage, looking at Wang Mingchuan's carriage in front of her, she said meaningfully: "Brother, my mother is not your alone, I am also her child."
