Chapter 261: Asking for but Not Wanting
"The mother concubine misunderstood, it wasn't what she told me......" Song Ming simply told him what happened in the Lu Mansion that day.
When the old princess heard this, her mouth was open for a long time and she couldn't close it, and she exclaimed, "Why is the little girl of the Shu family so shameless, everyone Jiang Sanlang is married, and she still has that kind of shameless bad thoughts." And that little girl Xia, it's a girl from Xiqinbo's family, right? A few days ago, someone came to draw the string and wanted to treat her as your daughter-in-law, and I thought it was good. Tsk, those little girls look well-behaved and clever on the surface, but behind their backs, they are not ghosts or ghosts, and they specialize in shameless things. She thought for a moment and said, "Anyway, now that Jiang Saburo has not divorced his wife, Saburo's daughter-in-law is still Jiang Saburo's daughter-in-law, so you can't beat her idea." What's more, she is also Changting's granddaughter-in-law, how powerful Changting is, how much she values the Lu family, you know it in your heart. I will rarely see her in the future, if Changting detects your thoughts, I won't let you go......"
Song Ming bowed his head and was silent for a long time, then raised his head and said, "Mother, my son is so old, he knows what he can do and what he can't do. If the etiquette is inconsistent, the son will definitely not do it, and he will pay attention to his words and deeds in the future. Seeing that the old princess's expression relaxed, she said again, "Please let the mother agree to her son's request, can you not urge your son to find a woman for the time being...... If Jiang Saburo really takes a break from the Lu family, his son can also have a chance...... Lu, she, she's really a woman her son can't ask for......"
After speaking, Song Ming knelt in front of the old princess.
Back at the eldest princess's mansion, Lu Man asked He Cheng and Jiang Jiu to go home directly, and she sent the old horse back to Heming Hall, just as the eldest princess had already taken a lunch break.
The old horse went back to her room to rest, and she sat down directly next to the eldest princess.
The eldest princess had a good impression of Shu Mingwei, and felt that the Jiang family was sorry for her, and she had to tell the eldest princess about the Shu family's alliance with the Wang family and the Hong family.
When the eldest princess heard that He Cheng was calculated because Shu Mingwei's brother passed the word to Wang Haobai and Zhu Nerd, and had a good time with a few sons and daughters of the Hong family, she was really angry and scolded, "The Hong family is looking for death, follow the Wang family to find our family's affairs......"
Lu Man was very satisfied, and the old lady regarded the matter of herself and her younger brother as the matter of the eldest princess's mansion.
I only heard her continue, "I hope the Hong family can remember the lesson and stop following the Hong family and the Wang family to make fools." If I still don't know it, for the safety of this family, I won't be soft. He added, "Why did the Shu family get involved?" Oh, I said that Master Shu was so old why he was promoted to the official position, it turned out that he had climbed to the Wang family...... Alas, it's a pity that the little girl Shu has a good appearance and a good temperament, but her fate is not good. First of all, our family made her marriage difficult, and if her family was involved in unnecessary disputes and was used by other families, it would be really pitiful. “
Lu Man didn't expect the eldest princess to have such a good impression of Shu Mingwei, and she didn't even think about whether her brother passed the message for Shu Mingwei, or because she was instructed by her, and regarded her as a victim. If the impression is good, everything is good.
Lu Man opened his mouth, but he still didn't dare to say the words that he overheard Shu Mingwei and Miss Xia's corner that day. That day, a Song Ming was involved, and a man and a woman "hid" behind the boulder and eavesdropped on others, saying that it was not good for their reputation. Although there are two girls and a child, the ancient nobles generally did not treat their subordinates as human beings.
She didn't want to say more, but if she said too much, she would fall behind, so she had to catch something else next time and then take eye medicine.
After a few more words of laughter, Lu Man said goodbye and returned to Donghui Courtyard.
The days flickered to the middle of August, the weather had gradually cooled, and Lu Man's belly was bigger.
On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Lu Man and the three of them were going to the eldest princess's mansion to have dinner and admire the moon and watch the play.
Originally, He and He Cheng were invited, but they refused, because they invited Shopkeeper Li and several doctors from Tongrentang, as well as Mama Wang's family to celebrate the festival in Yuqing Hospital.
I heard that during the day, Lu Ke, the second master of the Lu family, came to invite He Cheng home for a reunion dinner, but He Cheng refused on the grounds of "wanting to accompany his mother for the holiday". Lu Xin was taking the township test, and the Lu family would rather let the concubine of the big house invite He Cheng than let Lu Chang and Lu Feng from the second room come, and the two brothers were completely given up by the old lady. It didn't work out, in order to let He Cheng go back for the holidays, he didn't let the two brothers go home.
In the Crane Ming Hall, lanterns are hung everywhere before it gets dark, and it is a festive scene.
In the Hibiscus Hall, there was laughter. The eldest princess is bold, she doesn't eat or talk, and today's festival makes the atmosphere much more lively than before.
I heard from a few old men that the emperor received another good news from the border early this morning, and the Xie family army won another big victory. And this victory, the black riot camp also made a miraculous achievement. It was the black riot battalion that touched the enemy's route to transport grain and grass and burned the grain and grass, causing the enemy to cut off the supply and be defeated and retreated by the Xie family's army.
The Great Chu Dynasty and the Great Jin Kingdom have fought many times, and this battle should be the smoothest one.
While the emperor praised Xie Dashuai for his invincibility in using soldiers like a god and the Great Chu army, he also praised Jiang Zhanwei a few times, saying that he was resourceful, young and promising, and was the pillar of Great Chu.
The second master was really happy, and the sound was very loud. The third master was also happy, praising Jiang Zhanwei from time to time, and asked several children and nephews to learn more from Zhanwei. And although Jiang Houye was also smiling and praising him, he couldn't hide the loneliness on his face. He regrets it very much now, he knew that Jiang Zhanwei was such a genius, and he couldn't suppress it, so he should have gathered his heart earlier, so that he could use it for the family......
The eldest princess was honored to be happy, but the old concubine didn't like to listen to it, so she threw the bowl on the table and scolded, "Those concubines just like to do things that can't be put on the table, and they play tricks for personal purposes." ”
The eldest princess hurriedly said, "Master Ma is confused again, this is a war between two countries, either you die or I live, what else to talk about with the enemy is not on the table." ”
Jiang Zhanyu also said, "Yes, grandfather, the Great Jin Kingdom came to rob our Great Chu Country of grain and kill our people, can we still talk about Yang and politeness with these extremely vicious people?" ”
The old horse tugged at his beard, and his eyes were blank again.
Lu Man secretly rolled his eyes. This old man is too angry, and the war between the two countries can still be related to the concubine. It's just that it's useless for him to hate the concubine, if this momentum continues, they won't be able to suppress this concubine.
Jiang Zhanwei's miraculous feats were one after another, and one on her head was also counted on him. If he comes back alive, he will surely be successful.
Everyone was talking lively, and a subordinate came to report, "The eldest princess, the master of the horse, the master of the marquis, and the third master sent his own soldier Liu Chun back." ”
The eldest princess was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Quick, let people in." ”
