"Mother-in-law?" Xu Shi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and the solemnity on his face immediately dispersed, a little crying and laughing, and turned to Mrs. Xu and said, "The third girl is still too young, don't do anything, the old lady is not strange." ”

After that, she looked at Chen Ying again, and said helplessly: "Three girls, can you also believe the words of those old women?" People love to chew the root of their tongues, and they don't have a word of truth all day long, and you are really a child, hearing the wind is rain, and bluffing me. ”

"My niece didn't believe it either." Chen Ying followed her words and said, and her clear eyes suddenly looked at Xu's with a little meaning: "However, the sudden attack of the county lord of Xiangshan made my niece change her opinion. The niece thinks that the discussion of the mother-in-law is not groundless. ”

The Eldest Princess's Mansion and the Chengguo Mansion have always been well water and do not interfere with river water, although Guo Yuan and Chen Lu are not very compatible, but it is only the little girls who are competitive, and they have never risen to the battle between the two mansions.

And today, Guo Yuan's ruthlessness and poisonous intentions are by no means a little girl's nonsense.

Xu's heart jumped, and he suddenly woke up, and couldn't help but gasp: "Lu'er......"

As soon as she said these two words, a chill rushed up her body, making her shudder.

Guo Yuan pointed at Chen Lu, just for her reputation, doesn't that mean......

"In the palace, there must be a rumor." Old Madam Xu opened her mouth slowly, and her voice was very slow.

If she hadn't heard the rumors, the eldest princess would not have let Guo Yuan deal with Chen Lu.

Chen Ying didn't speak, only bowed up and sat back in the chair.

With Old Madam Xu's wisdom, she must have seen through these things at a glance.

"You're doing a great job." Old Madam Xu said again and looked at Chen Ying.

This time, the sharpness in her eyes had disappeared, replaced by kindness and approval.

"You're doing a great job." She repeated.

Xu Shi has now understood a little.

Indeed, Chen Ying did a good job.

The title of Duke Chengguo has only been passed down to the present for only three generations, and it can be passed on for two more generations in the future, and it is not a problem to maintain its prosperity for decades. And Grandpa Guo's current momentum is already too strong, not to mention holding heavy troops, and the four sons under his knees are also very promising.

The experience of the prince Chen Xun in the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army, His Majesty has a lot of reuse, and the position of the governor of the same knowledge in the future may not be unexpected; The second son, Chen Shao, was born in a serious Jishi, and he did it before he disappeared; The third son, Chen Mian, is also a two-list jinshi, and now he is a judge in Dali Temple; The fourth son, Chen Li, was admitted to Xiucai a few years ago, and he is preparing for the exam recently, preparing to participate in next year's autumn festival.

Today's Chengguo Mansion is no longer a simple noble, but has the atmosphere of a family, and it is still a family in charge of soldiers.

Such a momentum is inevitably eye-catching. If His Majesty intends to grant the position of crown princess, it may not be with the intention of wooing.

"The Guogong Mansion is not rare, those are empty." Xu's face was slightly gloomy, and his voice became solemn: "Besides, we don't need to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix." It's really a dog's eye and people are low. ”

"That's what we think, but not necessarily that." Old Madam Xu sighed, "On the body of the Guogong Mansion, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at it." ”

Xu nodded yes, turned to Chen Ying again, and said sincerely: "Good boy, thanks to you today, if you hadn't said those words to the eldest princess on the spot, what would others think of our Chen family." As she spoke, her eyes turned red again, and she pressed her eyes with a handkerchief: "I only suffered our sister Lu, and she suffered a disaster." ”

Emperor Yuan Jia is a filial son, although he was not born by the Empress Dowager Xiao, but from his accession to the throne to the present, the Empress Dowager Xiao has helped him a lot, and the relationship between the royal mother and son is also quite deep.

Regardless of whether Emperor Yuan Jia was tempted or really intended, the Guogong Mansion should not show a positive attitude.

Chen Ying offended the eldest princess on the face today, but secretly offended the Empress Dowager Xiao, presumably Emperor Yuan Jia will also consider it in his eyes.

"Our Chen family is only a direct minister." Old Madam Xu said so, her voice was very solemn.

The Chengguo Mansion has no intention of clinging, let alone using the imperial power to show power, Chen Ying has expressed this intention clearly.

"It's just that the eldest princess is also His Majesty's only sister in the end, so we still offend people." Xu said at this time.

She had already collected her tears, frowned, and her face was full of worry: "The Queen Mother is the most protective of her shortcomings, even though this matter is not our beginning, but the eldest princess's face is really broken." The Queen Mother will definitely blame us. When the time comes, she will have to enter the palace to ask for guilt, which will calm the anger of her old man. ”

As she spoke, she sighed, and swept her gaze over Chen Ying: "Third girl, you have to be ready, the eldest princess's mansion, I'm afraid you still have to show your face in order to turn your face around." ”

This trip is inevitable after all, this matter is not related to the prince's choice of concubine, Chen Ying is indeed rude first.

When her words landed, Mrs. Xu looked at her, and suddenly asked, "Old man, do you know why Ying Yatou wants to do things desperately?" ”

Xu Shi was stunned for a while, and said softly: "The three girls are doing this, just to show the attitude of our government." It's just that this method is a little extreme, and the eldest princess's mansion must always give an explanation, otherwise it will seem that we are too arrogant. ”

Old Madam Xu looked at her fixedly for a while, a trace of disappointment crossed her face, and turned to Chen Ying: "Three girls, you come here." ”

Chen Ying got up in response and said respectfully, "Yes, grandmother." ”

After saying that, she looked at the Xu family, and her voice was calm: "Auntie, eldest princess, we really can't soften our bodies, not for anything else, just for the reputation of the eldest sister, the Guogong Mansion must also be tough to the end." ”

Xu choked and was furious.

She has no opinion that the second room wants to come out, but they shouldn't step on the face of the long house, and they shouldn't use Chen Yi's reputation as a trick.

"Three girls, you can't say that." She immediately said, and Hewan's face was quiet, as if she had no quarrel with the world: "You have done Sister Yi a great favor this time, and the eldest aunt is very grateful to you, and she also knows that you are a good child." But the eldest aunt still has to say that you, your words are too much, and you don't like to listen to your words, your performance today is fundamentally out of character, and even more so because of the grandeur of our government. We are walking around outside, and we have our own way of speaking, how can we be as straightforward as you? Although you are kind, but your good intentions have done bad things, and your words and deeds are even more extreme, and you have lost the golden mean. ”

In the end, it is from a family, and opening and closing the mouth is the golden mean of the saints, although the words are gentle, but the meaning of the question is very deep.
