Chapter 191: The Second Young Master is back



The Liang family does seem to be in a hurry.

The marriage decree has been in place for several years. It's just that the Liang family is unwilling to marry the talented and good-looking concubine to the Hou Mansion concubine of the political opponent faction, so they have been dragging it on the grounds that their daughter is still young, and during this time, they also sent the youngest daughter Liang Yue to the palace through the eldest daughter Princess Ke Liang, "accompanying" the queen mother, hoping to "meet" the emperor, not only to get rid of the absurd marriage, but also to let the daughter climb the high branches. It's a pity that the emperor was unwilling to cooperate with the performance, and Liang Yue also asked the queen to send her home because of a small mistake. Dragged to this day, she is an eighteen-year-old girl, and she also has a royal marriage contract, where is there a good future?

The power of Taishi Liang and his officials has been declining under the suppression of the emperor in recent years. Taishi Liang suddenly woke up to the fact that he had been in charge of the government for many years, and he had said everything about national affairs, and when the emperor was young, he could still sit back and relax, and now the emperor has full wings. Where can he be tolerated? In fact, with his identity as a veteran of the two dynasties and a minister of Tuogu, as long as he is smarter, the emperor can easily move him, why give the emperor an excuse to destroy him?

So he restrained his movements a little, and some things that could not be conceded and would annoy the emperor were handed over to a few officials who had little value to do for him, and he remained silent in the court, and only when he encountered a major event, he would open his mouth to interfere; On the other hand, he went to the Qingguo Marquis' Mansion to discuss his daughter's marriage, and saw that Qingguo Marquis Li Zhang did everything possible to shirk it, and scolded him in private, so he specially asked his eldest daughter to ask the Queen Mother to speak, so as not to let the Qingguo Marquis Mansion have a chance to delay, and asked his wife to come to the door in person.

It was the emperor who gave the marriage, and the queen mother spoke again, and the Qingguo Marquis Mansion was not verbose. In fact, the owner of the Hou Mansion has long been mentally prepared to marry a daughter-in-law with a poor background, just to delay it to hit the arrogance of the Liang family, and all kinds of preparations have already begun.

Mrs. Liang reluctantly accepted the arrangement. Went back. The old lady immediately ordered Ann to prepare the dowry, renovate the new house, and purchase all kinds of wedding supplies and select the manpower to wait for the new daughter-in-law. An Shi held his breath, returned to the courtyard, and met Hou Ye and said that the wedding must not go wrong, everything must be careful and careful, there are many people outside staring at it, and the overall situation must not be ruined because of the momentary anger. An Shi only felt full of grievances, but he couldn't vent it to his husband, so he could only drop a blue and white cup after he left.

The next day, Li Chang had to move out of his own yard because the house was going to be renovated, and for the convenience of studying, he had to tidy up a small room next to the outer study to live.

After he returned home this time, he restrained a lot, and he didn't laugh with the maids, and treated the agate, pomegranate and others who were sent to serve him very politely, and completely ignored the maids and scholars who were used to it in the past. Two of them had sent him letters saying that the situation was miserable. begged him to save him, and he also burned the letter casually, just as if he didn't know anything, and devoted himself to studying the subset of scriptures and history.

He has finally understood a truth in the past few years, a fame is nothing, unless he is successful in the officialdom, he will not be able to suppress An and her sister-in-law in his life!

During the years he was in the village, he felt sorry for himself and wasted his time, and he could only do his best to recover his homework in the last bit of time before the exam. He thinks he's already smart, and that's a little bit of a thing.

Of course, in addition to hard work, he did not forget to make his grandmother happy, which is the foundation of his family life. Every morning and dusk is indispensable, and after he has asked for peace, he has to chat with his grandmother, talk about homely things, talk and laugh to please her, sometimes meet his sister and two cousins come to say goodbye, he knows that his grandmother loves his cousins, so he does not hesitate to praise.

In fact, in terms of selfishness, he felt that the cousin of the Huo family was too upright, did not care about people, and seemed to look down on himself, which made him very annoyed, but the cousin of the Fan family was delicate and lovely, and her skin was white and plump, I don't know which stinky boy was blessed to have her? It's really the ancestors who burned high incense! Although the wife who is about to marry is also a beauty. But that temperament is not so pleasing, maybe because I read too many books, I think I am a talented woman, and my temperament has become harsh, and women still have to be honest and supple......

Li Chang only cared about his thoughts, but he didn't notice that his gaze on Fan Xiru stayed for too long, and Fan Xiru had always been arrogant, and he couldn't help blushing. The old lady was slightly unhappy in her heart, this grandson has only been behaving for a few days, why did he make an old mistake again? They are all people who are about to marry a wife, and they still want to provoke the girls of their relatives, this is not a family child who can be sent casually!

The old lady smiled and coughed heavily twice before waking Li Chang. He was shocked to realize that he had just been rude, and the scene was a little embarrassing, so he hurriedly snorted, chatted a few more words, and then withdrew under the pretext that he wanted to go back to the study to study.

Fan Xiru blushed, still pretending to be nothing, not mentioning it at all, the old lady was even more fond of her, and sent a set of gold wire and gem-encrusted heads to the past that night. It is said that it is "jewelry used when I was young", but now I don't wear it anymore and give it to younger generations.

Li Chang may have made up for this mistake, and increased the time spent with his grandmother in the next two days, and if he met his cousins, he bowed his head unconventionally and avoided it, and he couldn't find fault with his words and actions. The old lady slowly lost her anger, fell in love with him again, and personally inquired about the renovation of Yingyue Hall, and rewarded him with a few treasures at the bottom of the box to make decorations for his new house. Rumors spread in the Hou Mansion. It is said that the second young master has regained power.

Huo Yi watched coldly all the way, and from the next day, he cut down the time spent in the old lady's room, and tried to avoid the time when Li Chang went, and restrained the maid-in-law who served him in private, and didn't hang out everywhere in the mansion if he had nothing to do, especially to stay away from the second cousin.

Chunying has been by her side, how could she not know the reason why she asked her so much? Naturally, this order is strictly followed. She still remembered that there was a public case between the second young master and herself, although she didn't know if the other party knew that she was also one of the witnesses and informants back then, but it was better to avoid it as far away as possible. This time, firstly, he grew up and changed his master, he may not recognize it, and secondly, his attention was not on the girls at all, which made her dodge, but she may not be so lucky in the future.

Chunying is very honest in the small courtyard, in addition to completing work every day, is to teach Little Lotus to cook, or make clothes, shoes and socks for the family. Since the second young master lived in the outer study, she didn't even dare to ask for the errand of finding books, and gritted her teeth and gave up the opportunity to see Zhou Nian, so she had to find a way to ask for leave and go home first.

But it's not a way to hide like this, seeing that the second young master is trying to win back the old lady's favor little by little, Chun Ying panicked, thought left and right, and found Shi'er to discuss: "Do you say we want to remind the third young master?" He has been with the Hou Ye recently, busy with something, the old lady, except for saying hello in the morning and evening, he has not accompanied the old lady much. If the second young master rises again, won't the third young master be unlucky? ”

Shi'er was also a little worried when he heard this: "Yes, others always say that the second young master has learned well, but I think he can't get better!" There must be some kind of trick hatching in the dark now! "For these girls from Huanhuaxuan, the shadow of the second young master is too big, and he died back then......

Shi'er thought about it. Then he said, "Okay! I'm going to talk to Xia He and find a way to remind the third young master! As soon as he got up, he was deflated again: "No...... The third young master has been going out early and returning late these days, and when I went there a few days ago, Xia He complained to me. At this time, he will definitely not be there! Xia He's girl is a nerd again, and she can't understand what she has to say, I'm just running for nothing......"

When Chunying heard this, she was also a little worried: "What about rouge?" Isn't Rouge a step up now? ”

"She never interacts with us, who doesn't know she's a young lady?"

"That'...... Winter ...... Rong'er ...... That's right, Wisteria! ”

Shi'er shook her head: "These are all unreliable, Wisteria is fine, but she doesn't like to get close to the third young master, and she will never help pass the word." As he spoke, he said fiercely: "It's all Manru!" A few years ago, she controlled Huanhuaxuan and drove away all the people who disobeyed her, Lu'er married again, and there are few trustworthy people in that courtyard now! The new Lixia, I don't know her well, and I don't know if she's reliable! ”

Chunying thought of the girl ring who occasionally sent fruit snacks to please Huo Yi, and muttered: "If you really can't find someone, just look for rouge!" She has nothing else to rely on now except for the third young master, if she can't believe it, the third young master will not ask her to come back and wait with her, besides, this kind of thing is only convenient for someone who is close to waiting. You are now the person next to Miss Cousin, no matter how big her shelf is, she will not dare to be rude to you. ”

Shi'er thought about it, and nodded solemnly: "Okay!" I'll go after dinner! If you're lucky, maybe you'll meet the third young master coming back for a nap! After a pause, he smiled bitterly and said, "But I want to ...... The third young master probably knows this in his heart, right? No matter how busy he is, someone will always tell him......"

Chun Ying lowered her head and said slowly: "Let's remind us, he will remember our relationship, it has been a few years, and Miss Cousin has that thing again...... It doesn't hurt to ask the third young master to remember us. ”

The two looked at each other, and their hearts were bright.

As soon as the door opened, Nanqi walked in, and was a little surprised to see this: "I thought there was no one in the house, what are you talking about here?" ”

Shi'er was silent and turned to the embroidery at the end of the bed, and Chunying hurriedly asked, "Sister Nanqi, but Miss is going to pass the meal?" Where can I use it at noon today? ”

Nanqi smiled: "How would I know? It's still far from dinner. She raised her eyes to look at Shi'er, her expression was a little gloomy, and she reluctantly smiled and said to Chunying: "I heard Ju'er say in the upper room just now, Miss has approved your leave, and told you to go back after dinner, but the house is busy, there are not enough people, and there are several people in the courtyard, and you have to come back before dinner." ”

Chunying responded in surprise, looked back at Shi'er, the other party gave her a look, she understood in her heart, nodded solemnly, and went to thank Huo Yi.

Nanqi looked at his cousin who turned his face again, and stopped talking, but finally sighed faintly and left.

Chunying hurriedly ate, then packed up two or three things and went home lightly. Due to the lack of manpower in the house, she couldn't even get together the maiden and mother-in-law who accompanied her home, so she hurriedly said that her house was close and in the back street, and she didn't need anyone to follow her, so she walked back along the house wall.

Before entering the door, she heard a lot of laughter and laughter in the house, which was mixed with children's voices, she was overjoyed, and hurriedly pushed the door in, and sure enough, she saw her sister Qiuyu holding her son in front of the door and talking to her brother. She cried out, "Sister! You're back? "When I entered the door, even the second uncle and brother-in-law were there, and the family got together, not knowing what was being discussed.

"Chun'er is back?" Second Uncle Lu looked her up and down, and said happily, "It's getting more and more smart, I looked ugly when I was a child, but now I'm also a big girl!" ”

Chunying was angry and funny, and greeted everyone before sitting down with the second uncle: "The second uncle's mouth is getting more and more annoying!" Take a sip of tea and cough up, so that I can ask my aunt to come back as soon as possible! ”

As soon as she said this, everyone burst into laughter, and Mother Lu pushed her: "Could it be that you learned fortune-telling from someone?" How can you say it so accurately? ”

Chun Ying was stunned: "Won't it?" I'm really going to have a sister-in-law?! She grabbed the second uncle in surprise, "Which family is it?" Do I know each other? ”

Second Uncle Lu just smiled and didn't speak, Qiu Yu walked over with a smile and said, "We all know each other, it's the person next to the eldest young grandmother, have you seen it?" It's that lime. ”

"Huh?!" Chunying stood up suddenly.

Lime ...... It seems to be only ten years old...... Second uncle, you're in your thirties......

Chunying felt entangled......

(It's the end of the month, ask for pink ......)...
