Chapter 012: What is Cause and Effect?
Chen Xiang's narration lasted for quite some time.
Because she was a bystander to the whole thing, and she was in the flower hall throughout the whole process, she knew more comprehensively than Chen Ying, so she could say it clearly.
After speaking, Xu Shi said softly: "Sit down, it's hard for you to remember clearly, drink saliva and moisten it." ”
Chen Xiangjuan's face turned slightly red, and she bent down and sat back.
Xu Shi turned to Mrs. Xu again, and said unhurriedly: "Old lady, look, this is how things are. There is another thing that the second girl didn't see, just when we said goodbye, the eldest princess's face was always straight, and she only nodded at her daughter-in-law and left, but she pulled the second lady Gu to talk for a long time. The daughter-in-law thought, today, we have offended the eldest princess severely. ”
As she spoke, she sighed, pressed the corner of her eyes with a handkerchief, and suddenly choked up: "Sister Yi'er popped out of my stomach, and now she has suffered such a big grievance, my heart hurts." However, the eldest princess had already made amends, and the daughter-in-law thought that she couldn't compare herself with her, and she had to take into account the overall situation. But now it seems that the eldest princess is very angry, and the daughter-in-law is not afraid of anything else, just afraid that she will make trouble with the queen mother, and it will be difficult to clean up. ”
She seemed to be more and more worried, and with a long sigh, she put away her veil: "Now I have to ask the old lady to show me, how should we deal with this matter?" ”
Chen Yi moved uneasily in his seat, and stopped talking.
But it's just a matter of wanting to say something.
Just like when she opened her mouth in the flower hall.
Mrs. Xu closed her eyes slightly, didn't speak for a long time, and seemed to be asleep.
Xu and her were aunts and nephews, and they still knew her temper very well, and knew that it was not appropriate to disturb at this time, so they also sat quietly and drank tea.
After a long while, Old Madam Xu moved slightly in her seat, and said slowly: "Third girl, do you have something to say?" ”
The old man's thin face was almost expressionless, and his eyes were still not open, as if he were speaking into the air.
Chen Ying stood up, bowed, and then straightened up: "Yes, grandmother." ”
Xu Shi glanced at her lightly, and pressed the corner of his lips with a handkerchief.
Old Madam Xu was a little surprised, as if she didn't expect Chen Ying to really have something to say, she was slightly stunned, and nodded and said, "Okay, you say." ”
Chen Ying saluted again, and said in a very clear voice: "Grandmother, the eldest aunt has reversed the relationship between cause and effect. ”
Xu Shi was stunned for a moment, and the veil also left his lips.
Why did you suddenly talk about cause and effect?
Shouldn't it be Chen Ying who pleaded guilty to the old lady?
What does sin have to do with cause and effect?
Also, what does it mean that this aunt of hers is wrong about cause and effect?
"What cause and effect do you say?" Xu asked, his eyebrows furrowed slightly.
"Back to my aunt, what my niece said is the cause and effect of all the events that happened today." Chen Ying replied quietly: "Our offending of the eldest princess is not a result, but a cause. Because the eldest princess had long been intent on embarrassing the Guogong Mansion, it was only when the lord of Xiangshan County framed the eldest sister. ”
Old Madam Xu, who had been half-closing her eyes, opened her eyes for the first time, and her cold and lightning gaze swept towards Chen Ying.
Chen Ying immediately sensed it.
It didn't look like an old woman's eyes.
Sharp, bright, decisive, with a strong penetrating power, like real lightning striking the body, making people tremble from the inside out.
Of course, Chen Ying did not tremble, nor did she dodge, but calmly looked back at Old Madam Xu.
In just one breath, the two of them rolled their eyes at the same time.
The indifference in Mrs. Xu's eyes was the same as the indifference in Chen Ying's eyes.
The old lady didn't like this granddaughter, just as Chen Ying didn't have affection for this grandmother.
In fact, from the first day she came to this time and space, Chen Ying instinctively disliked this grandmother, and when Mrs. Xu saw Chen Ying for the first time, she couldn't love this bland-looking granddaughter.
However, at this moment, the two grandparents and grandchildren, who hated each other, strangely perceived that they agreed on certain points of view.
The corners of Chen Ying's mouth twisted a very weird angle, and Old Madam Xu closed her eyes again, not knowing whether she didn't want to look at this granddaughter who was smiling strangely, or if she wanted to show her profundity.
"Three girls, what do you mean by that?" Xu asked again, her eyebrows frowning more and more, which made her seem to have added a sense of sorrow.
"My niece heard that she is going to choose the crown princess." Chen Ying did not directly answer Xu's question, but leisurely opened up a pen.
These words successfully made Xu's face change slightly, and his voice unconsciously raised: "What did you say? What does this have to do with the selection of the crown princess? ”
Chen Ying sighed in her heart, and her tone of voice was still peaceful: "My niece also heard from others, the eldest princess of Yongning, who intends to let the girl from her husband's family enter the palace." ”
"You mean...... The Guo family? Xu was a little incredulous.
The eldest princess of Yongning married Guo Zhun, the eldest son of Xingjibo, which was still a "grand event" back then. First, because the eldest princess is two years older than Guo Zhun and married at the "advanced age" of twenty-two; The second is that Guo Zhun is a widower, he died at the age of nineteen, and became a horse master at the age of twenty, and at the end of the year of the wedding, the eldest princess gave birth to the lord of Xiangshan County.
As for why the eldest princess married Guo Zhun, a widower, you can know a thing or two just by looking at the bright appearance of the lord of Xiangshan County.
Guo Zhun was the most famous beautiful man in Quan Shengjing when he was young, and even now he is middle-aged, he is also handsome and extraordinary. The eldest princess fell in love with him at first sight, and she didn't marry him, and finally got her wish by coincidence.
This Chun marriage is said to have been agreed to by the Empress Dowager Xiao and His Majesty today.
Empress Dowager Xiao only gave birth to a daughter, the eldest princess of Yongning, who was extremely pampered, and it was the first year of Yuanjia, when Emperor Yuanjia first practiced Zuo, there were kings inside, strong enemies outside, the throne was extremely unstable, and the queen mother was in urgent need of help.
There are rumors in the market that the reason why this family business can be completed is that His Majesty made a deal with the Queen Mother. Of course, this is just a legend, and no one dares to confirm it.
All in all, Guo Zhun, a beautiful man and talented son, and the eldest princess of Yongning, the most noble of the Great Chu Dynasty, formed a new family, and the Great Chu royal family has another good story, which is a fact that everyone can see.
"Let's all go back to dinner first." Old Madam Xu looked at Chen Yi and the others, paused for a moment, and deliberately added: "The three girls stay." ”
Xu opened his mouth, closed it again, and gave Chen Yi a reassuring look.
No one dared to disobey Old Madam Xu's order, Chen Yi and the others quickly left, and there were only three people left in the room.
"Where did you hear that?" Xu Shi was the first to speak, his face was solemn, and he hid the trace of weighing at the bottom of his eyes.
"My niece went back to Xingjibo Mansion to participate in the poetry meeting, and listened to the old women in the mansion talking quietly behind her back." Chen Ying replied.
