The eldest lady laughed and said: "Yes, yes, no matter how urgent the matter is, it will only be a month or two for Zuo, of course we can wait." ”

"It's just," she simply walked to Du Mingxin's side, sat on the edge of the kang, and laughed in a low voice, "I heard that there is a Li Gongzi temporarily living in the outer courtyard of the palace now, right?" ”

Li Mobai? Du Mingxin was a little surprised, why did the eldest lady pull Li Mobai into the scope of choosing a son-in-law?

"Yes, this Li Gongzi is a friend that the prince made when he was in Shaanxi." Du Mingxin smiled indifferently, "Now I have a reputation for raising people, and I came to the capital this time for the spring festival in February." ”

The eldest lady looked clear, and still laughed in a low voice: "I've inquired about all this!" Just now, when Sister Zhu and I came in from the door, we also ran into each other, and we were really a gentle and polite and humble gentleman! Appearance with Sister Zhu is not a grievance! ”

Du Mingxin supported his forehead, Li Mobai didn't know anything, the eldest wife had already taken out the eyes of her mother-in-law to look at her son-in-law!

"This, Li Gongzi is alone in the capital, have you inquired about his family?" Du Mingxin asked.

"Didn't you say it was a friend of the prince? Can that be wrong? The eldest lady said with a smile, she approached Du Mingxin a little closer, and almost leaned on her ear and said, "Your eldest uncle also asked his colleagues and classmates to inquire carefully, and they all said that Li Gongzi's father was the first adviser by the emperor's side back then, and he was the emperor's right-hand man!" ”

"The reason why Mr. Li didn't come to the capital with him is just the lonely temper of a scholar, and he doesn't look down on the feudal prince. Now that the emperor's major event has been accomplished, Mr. Li stayed in Shaanxi to live a quiet life, and sent his son out to join the office, this scholar has all the face, and he has fulfilled his loyalty to the emperor, but you can envy your uncle and their gang! ”

Du Mingxin frowned slightly, what the eldest lady said was basically the truth, but it sounded very different from what Chen Xi said to her.

Li Mobai's father, Li Weiyu, is not just a counselor by Chen Yuantai's side. Almost everyone in the Shaanxi family in the DPRK and China knew that if it were not for Li Weiyu's incitement and plotting by Chen Yuantai's side for five years, Chen Yuantai would not have been able to turn back so early.

Or it can be said that if there is no Li Weiyu, Chen Yuantai may be like Wu Yueguo fifty years ago, satisfied with tearing the earth and sealing the king, and will not have the ambition to unify the world.

Such a person with a backbone in the back of his head and a talent is actually very dangerous. Chen Yuantai is a good hand at fighting, so he is not very afraid of Dingguo Gong, Chen Xi, and Shen Yao, after all, if you talk about martial arts, these people are not his opponents.

However, Li Weiyu is different, his strength lies in conspiracy, in the dark room, conspiracy and conspiracy, are his forte. In addition, he has a clear mind, and the wealth of seizing the world and being a supreme minister cannot make him tempted. To be able to choose to retreat bravely from the rapids when the great success is about to be completed, this person's mind is by no means comparable to ordinary people.

Chen Xi said in the letter that the only person Chen Yuantai was worried about was Li Weiyu. If he can assist Chen Yuantai to push down the Zhou Dynasty, then he will also have the ability to destroy the Yan Dynasty. Li Mobai's entry into Beijing was the result of a game between the two of them, in order to contain Li Weiyu, who was far away in Shaanxi.

The complicated thing about such a family is not the inner courtyard, but the relationship with the emperor. Du Mingzhu, a young lady who prides herself on having a bit of talent, but is actually very arrogant, is afraid that she can't afford the heavy responsibility of the daughter-in-law of the Li family.

What's more, for the wife of Li Weiyu's only son, Chen Yuantai may have his own plans, and the Jin Palace's mansion is not good to interfere. If Li Mobai really married Du Mingzhu, then the Jin Wangfu would not only be in-laws with Xingguo Gong, but also become real in-laws with Li Weiyu. At that point, even if Chen Yuantai doesn't say anything, what will the prince think? What will the Anguo Mansion think? It's no wonder that Chen Ting doesn't turn the situation upside down!

But how should these words be said to the eldest lady?

Facing the eldest lady's expectant gaze, Du Mingxin hesitated and spoke: "As far as I know, Li Gongzi has been suffering from a stubborn illness since he was a child, and he has only gradually recovered a few years ago. You see that his body is still a little thin now, this, I have never heard the prince mention his marriage, maybe the Li family wants to wait and talk about it. ”

After all, Li Mobai is only sixteen this year, and if his health is not very good, then it is reasonable for the Li family to want to wait until he is twenty years old to get married. But Du Mingzhu is eighteen years old this year, and the marriage was delayed because of the war, but now Chen Yuantai has been on the throne for more than a year, and there have been countless happy events in the capital, and there are really not many official ladies of Du Mingzhu's age.

The meaning of Du Ming's words was heard by the eldest wife. It's hard to find someone whose family background is stronger than Li Ling, where is she willing to let go so easily?

"It looks like Li Gongzi is in good health today!" The eldest lady smiled, "I carried a big bow on my back, saying that I was going to hunt with Xingguo Gong outside the city." You just said that the Li family wanted to wait, but the prince said it? ”

"I figured it out in private." Feeling that the words he said were thrown back straightly, Du Mingxin smiled very unnaturally.

"Sister Xin," the eldest lady took Du Mingxin's hand, gritted her teeth, and squeezed out two tears, "You ask yourself, since you came to the capital, how does the eldest aunt treat you?" In the past, you were in Kaifeng, and the old lady at home had to take care of everything, and the eldest aunt couldn't take care of you in those years, it was my fault! If you are angry in your heart, just come at me, and you will scold and punish me, and I will never say anything. ”

"But this is Sister Zhu'er's lifelong event!" As she spoke, the eldest lady was moved by her true feelings, her eyes were red, and tears were falling down, "Since Du Mingjing married Sister Zhu to Shangshu Mansion, do you know what kind of life Sister Zhu and I have lived at home?" Her aunt, if there is a slightest dissatisfaction with food, clothing, housing and transportation, she will be noisy and noisy. If I didn't agree with each other, I clamored to go to Shangshu Mansion, but for the sake of Du Mingjing's pregnancy, I was embarrassed when I went back...... I am a wife in the main room, and now I have been reduced to being a cow and a horse for the concubine's room...... Sister Xin'er, if I hadn't been reluctant to Sister Zhu, I would have been hanged with a rope a long time ago! ”

"Isn't there a big brother?" Du Mingxin took out a handkerchief and handed it to the eldest lady, and asked softly.

"Aunt Zhang is his father's concubine, how can he say anything?" The eldest lady took the handkerchief, wiped her tears, and blew her nose fiercely, "As for Du Mingjing's side, he still expects the people of Shangshu Mansion to help him twice in the future, how can he offend people to death......

In this way, it seems that only Du Mingzhu marrying a better in-law than Shangshufu can solve the dilemma of the mother and daughter. But in this inner house battle, either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind, and when Aunt Zhang and Du Mingjing come over, it is estimated that they are two bitter tears. Du Mingxin didn't want to get involved in the conflict in the inner courtyard of his uncle.
