Chapter 88: Talking and Laughing
Hearing that Chunjiang's cousin mentioned the loan shark of the eldest wife, the housekeeper wondered: Isn't this already over? How did it get brought up again ?!
Looking at the other party's puzzled look, Cousin Chunjiang sighed, and then said: "Bin'er, who is beside Mrs. Chun, has quarreled with Chunxing in the past few days, and vaguely mentioned the matter of the eldest wife...... When I pressed it, I found out that it was Chunni who found someone to sue the official ......, "and even lost so much silver to the government because of his family."
"Mrs. Chun, this is really ...... Confused! The housekeeper didn't want to comment too much, so he could only say such things that were not salty or light, and he was thinking about Chunjiang's cousin's plan in his heart, and asked tentatively: "Master, this is ...... But I'm not a good outsider......"
Cousin Chunjiang smiled bitterly, patted the butler's shoulder, and said, "Brother, it's been so long, don't you understand who I am?" …… It stands to reason that I can't keep Chunni from doing this, but ...... She was also forced to be ruthless by the eldest lady...... I don't dare let anyone know...... You also know Chunhua's temper...... There are even Chunni's two younger sisters at home, which is really tricky! ”
Of course, the housekeeper knows Chunjiang's cousin - honest and honest and kind to people, he really can't do this trade-off......
"I also want to fool the past, but Chunhua is the main room of my Zhang Mansion, and my father-in-law was so good to me when he was alive, I really feel sorry for her!"
The housekeeper smiled and said, "Hey! Master, what else should I do?! It's easy to do, so wouldn't you just find a reliable and clear-minded wife housekeeper?! It's so simple! ”
Cousin Chunjiang disagreed, shook his head and said: "I can't see clearly, when I don't have a housekeeper or a lot of money, I am a good mother-in-law, once the money and power are touched, it will not be so clean!" …… How can there be a reliable wife?! ”
Yes, the eldest lady is playing usury, Mrs. Chun is moving money to her mother's house, and Aunt Min is still pregnant, is it possible that the housekeeper means to let herself marry another one?
"No! Not! Three women in one play, there are too many women in our house! ”
The housekeeper was busy explaining: "Master, you misunderstood, I see that Aunt Min is a master who can carry it clearly, just because the identity of this aunt is really low...... But the good thing is that I'm pregnant now......"
Cousin Chunjiang understood.
The matter of the eldest lady's usury has already provoked all the clans of the Zhang family, and if she is allowed to take care of the house, there will definitely be more trouble; However, what Mrs. Chun has done is really excessive, and she can't keep it in the future, will she do something for her own selfish interests, and then do something "self-inflicted damage of 800 and injury of the enemy of 1,000"; After all, only Zhang Minmin and Aunt Min are suitable!
But Aunt Min is an aunt after all!
"But...... Min Min is pregnant, and the housekeeper is a hard job! Cousin Chunjiang hesitated, for fear that she would slip off the child from overwork, and said, "Besides, aren't we talking about Chunni?" Why did it get to Min Min again?! ”
Steward Zhang said: "Master, say something unkind!" You don't understand what you're doing! Just love and mud! Didn't Miss Yiqing suffer several losses for this? But Miss Yiqing is smart! "And the others are stupid!" The Zhang family in the capital is the descendant branch of the Zhang family, the family has a big business, whether it is the master or the subordinate, there must be a charter for behavior and speech, and you must not let your own mind deal with it, after all, the Zhang family in the capital represents the head of the Zhang family, and can no longer be as confused as ordinary people! ”
Cousin Chunjiang remembered that Chunhua put on loan sharks: the departure and stay of his main room actually required a collective discussion among the elders of the whole clan?! Isn't it involuntarily?! ……
"Master, you don't want the old men of the side branch to help you 'marry' a new lady, do you?"
"Not really, right? Besides, how can they know about Chunni? Cousin Chunjiang said weakly.
The housekeeper no longer answered, and said too much, the key is to have Cousin Chunjiang figure it out by himself!
After a long while, Cousin Chunjiang agreed to the housekeeper's suggestion, so he arranged for someone to start arranging.
……
Inside the Royal Palace.
The emperor and the empress dowager were leisurely playing chess, and the concubine was sitting on the side watching the game with the cat in her arms.
Zhuqing held the refreshments and stood respectfully with the smiling face.
The concubine put her hands on the white Persian cat's head, and the cat purred in pleasure.
Hearing the movement, the Queen Mother didn't squint, but said: "Old monkey, are you holding your cat to eat my blessing?" You're going to have to watch out for me! My two precious treasures are expensive! ”
The concubine hurriedly said: "My mother, I am also an old cat, but I have been in a bad mood recently, so I took it out to bask in the sun, you see that it is old and can't run!" Your two little ancestors are better than him! ”
The two parrots stared at the white auspicious with great interest, and the auspicious glanced at him contemptuously, and then lay back into the concubine's arms.
The Emperor smiled and watched the two mothers having fun.
"The mother is skilled, and the son-in-law has lost again!" The emperor was convinced, took the soothing fragrant tea handed over by Zhuqing, and said, "Mother is drinking Lu'an incense tablets again?" But because of the bad rest lately? ”
The emperor is Ye Qingmei's own son, but he is a secret in the palace.
Externally, the emperor's biological mother is a concubine, and the queen mother is just a mother-in-law.
The emperor has always been filial, whether it is to treat the queen mother or the concubine, he has always treated everyone equally, and even treated the queen mother more politely!
The Queen Mother smiled kindly and said, "You kid has always been careful, but I've been thinking about Zhen'er too much recently, so I can't sleep...... It's okay! ”
Zhu Qing hurriedly took the Queen Mother's words and added: "It's okay, our Queen Mother looks at the longevity picture sent by the eldest princess every day, and she can't close her mouth happily every night, and she has insomnia!" Aren't you going to have some soothing refreshments? ”
"I've seen that longevity map, not only the eldest princess's handwriting, but half of it is embroidered by the lord of Luyao himself! This filial piety is really enviable! The concubine also said.
Everyone was in for a smile.
Since the last time the Queen Mother took the initiative to see the eldest princess, the knot in her heart has been completely opened, and the whole person has been in good spirits! Especially after seeing that Wang Luyao was almost a copy of her daughter, the eldest princess Zhen'er, she was so old and happy that she had to choose a husband in person to make up for the regrets left by the eldest princess back then!
These days, the Queen Mother is working so hard, it is all kinds of aspects and hints from everyone: I must pay attention to a few reliable and handsome young people for my granddaughter!
The emperor's heart is like a mirror, and he also paid attention to the sons of several families from this year's move.
The emperor smiled and said: "The son of Lord Zhuge of the Ministry of War is good, I look handsome and talk extraordinary!" ”
"No! The old man Zhuge is too stubborn, and his wife is very tough, I'm afraid that Lu Yao will be angry when she marries! The Queen Mother disapproves.
The concubine persuaded: "But his family style is very positive, our county lord will not have so many warblers and Yanyan in the past!" The concubine was very satisfied, and if she had a daughter or granddaughter, she would definitely agree.
"A few more!" The Queen Mother was not satisfied, and asked for more horizontal comparisons.
"The second son of General Dingyuan's family, although he is a descendant, has many brothers and sisters, and the old general is afraid that he will not be able to level the bowl of water." The emperor thought for a long time, and then came up with a handsome young man.
The Queen Mother's brows tightened, and she said, "If you don't think it's okay, then I don't agree even more!" Change again! ”
"It's gone, Ancestor! There are many brothers and sisters who have a family background, and there is finally a Zhuge family without concubines, and you have many rules; The rest are those whose status is not worthy of Lu Yao, and they can't be inappropriate! I can't even think about it! The emperor directly denied the illusion of the Queen Mother.
The queen mother understood that when the eldest princess married Wang Wei, she was dissatisfied, but fortunately, Wang Wei was still kind and treated the eldest princess who had no children with courtesy, and there were no concubines, rooms, or even bed warmers. But Wang Wei is only one, and the queen mother does not want her granddaughter to repeat the mistakes of the past.
"Queen Mother, the rules are bigger, let's be bigger! This rule has always constrained concubines a lot, besides, which family doesn't have any rules?! I look at the son of the Zhuge family, it's very good! The concubine agreed with the emperor's vision.
The emperor smiled and said, "Can I still pit my niece?" How many times did the old man Sheng Wei hint at me, but I didn't promise his son! The people of Dali Temple are too twisted in their stomachs, and they don't dare to marry his son if they marry her daughter! ”
The Queen Mother laughed and said, "That's not good, Sheng Wei is almost out of hair, my Zhen'er can't look down on such an old man!" …… Emperor, just listen to you, it's better to settle this matter as soon as possible! ”
"Listen to Mother! What about Brother Su? It's not small, I heard that the princess of the Wa Kingdom ......" The emperor asked about Prince Su.
The Queen Mother said: "Don't worry about him for now, after all, he is still young, let him fight with Rui Boy!" With their virtue, which of the noble daughters in the capital is willing to marry?! Let him play for a few years, and wait for the prince of the Wa Kingdom to quickly take Na Li back! ”
The emperor and the concubine no longer answered, and breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.
The Queen Mother originally liked Li Ge's daughter Li Shishi very much, and Man Chenru, the daughter of Man Yanjun's Shangshu, and wanted her son to have more contact with the second daughter...... By the way, get rid of the entanglement of Na Li......
However, Man Yanjun wanted his daughter to marry the eldest prince, and his proposal to the queen mother flickered; Li Ge Lao wanted to keep his only daughter for a few more years, so he was also very resistant to the Queen Mother's proposal.
Several parties are at a stalemate.
Unexpectedly, this Li Li girl's fox kung fu is so powerful! …… Caused the little prince of Rui and Prince Su to fight each other, and the matter was boiling in the capital!
The Queen Mother was afraid that the twisted melon would hurt the hearts of Miss Qianjin and the boss, so she temporarily dispelled the idea of marrying Prince Su.
Seeing that the concubine was cold, the concubine turned to ask: "I heard that our three princes have been running to Prince Heng's mansion every day recently, as well as Imperial Doctor Jin from the Tai Hospital, but there is good news in Mu Ya's eyes?" ”
