Chapter 346: Turmoil (Part II)
Eleven Niang didn't wait for Amber to come and go, but waited directly for Xu Lingyi.
Amber followed behind him, trying her best to hide it, but her demeanor was still a little nervous.
Eleven Niang was secretly strange in her heart, but Mrs. Tai thought that Amber was Eleven Niang's maid, and she didn't doubt him, so she greeted her son with a smile: "Come here!" He also instructed Wei Zi, "Tell the mothers-in-law to set the meal!" ”
Everyone gathered around Mrs. Tai to have dinner.
Eleven Niang smiled and let the others go first, and she fell last.
Amber knew her intentions, took two steps forward, and said quickly: "When I went, the emperor was talking with the marquis in the study. I was stopped in the wing by the Janissaries. I only dare to say that I went to pass the rice. ”
The emperor's sudden visit, does it have anything to do with what Mrs. Li said?
Eleven Niang was frightened in her heart, bowed her head slightly towards Amber, took a deep breath, and then went to the east wing with a smile.
Back in the house, she stood in front of the kang and looked Xu Lingyi who was drinking tea up and down.
Xu Lingyi looked strange, thought for a while, and said, "It's okay." The emperor just came to me on a whim to take a look. You don't have to worry! "An understatement.
"It's not that the concubine is worried about this." Eleven Niang looked at Xu Lingyi with a smile, "The concubine just feels that the Hou Ye is very calm." I didn't see it, it turned out that Hou Ye had met Xiaoxiao when he was in Shandong? ”
Xu Lingyi was stunned, and said after a while: "How do you know?" ”
Eleven Niang told Xu Lingyi about Mrs. Li's visit.
The more Xu Lingyi listened, the tighter his brows locked, and said slowly: "Mrs. Li came to you, let me talk to Liang Laoge, and recommend General Li to be the general soldier of Fujian?" ”
"Listen to Mrs. Li's tone, that's what it means!" Eleven Niang weighed the authenticity.
Xu Lingyi rubbed the mouth of the tea cup with his thumb, and he didn't make a sound for a long time.
"Master Hou!" Seeing that his eyebrows were quite gentle, Eleven Niang couldn't help but whisper, "Did you really meet Xiao Xiao at that time?" ”
There is a lot of meaning in this statement.
Xu Lingyi was very surprised.
He looked up at her and muttered, "Naturally, it can only be said that it is a small night!" ”
Eleven Niang nodded calmly.
Xu Lingyi had an unconcealable consternation on his face.
Eleven Niang, you have the guts!
And Eleven Niang listened to Xu Lingyi's words, but thought in her heart: In other words, it's not Xiaoxiao!
She thought of the disappearance of the Marquis of Jinghai and wanted to ask, but then she felt that this matter was too important. It's better to hide it in your mouth than in your heart. In the final analysis, it doesn't matter whether Xu Lingyi did it or not, what matters is how the emperor views this issue.
"The emperor is coming," her expression became solemn, "did you mention the disappearance of the prince of Jinghai?" ”
Xu Lingyi's eyebrows raised slightly.
The Ou family dared to ambush him halfway with the strategy of diverting the tiger from the mountain, so he dared to use Wang Jiubao's network of local snakes to send a skilled soldier except for the Hou Shizi of Jinghai, so that the Ou family would fall into the civil strife of the dispute between the sons and the concubines, so as to achieve his goal of surrendering the army without a fight...... He was named a noble concubine in the Ou clan and began to deal with the Ou family. By the time Zhangqiu's behavior was beyond common sense, he was already suspicious. Regardless of the dissuasion of the people around him, he went to Shandong with his body as bait. The people of the Ou family really made a move. He also confirmed the information he had received, and decided to get rid of his son by drastic means. In order not to let people link these two things together, he handed over all the surviving people to the Shandong Command Division at that time. Otherwise, the emperor would not have felt guilty when he saw him.
These things have been hidden from others, but they have not been hidden from the pillow person of Eleven Niang.
She was an intelligent and sensitive person. Instead of continuing to hide it, it is better to tell her the truth so that she will not be upset.
"The Ou family didn't have a charter for what they did a few days ago." He said implicitly, "Plus I've been in obscurity these days, and the emperor thought it was the Ou brothers who caused Xiao Wall." I didn't think about anything else. ”
Eleven Niang thought of the death of the fifth prince, the exposure of Xu Sijie, and Xu Lingyi was attacked and dismissed...... Turning passive into active, to this day, the situation has finally been reversed!
She let out a long sigh. Since hearing Mrs. Li's words, my heart has finally fallen. Then I thought of Sister Zhen's marriage.
As a human being in his two lives, Xu Lingyi has become famous, and there are times when he trembles from time to time. If Sister Zhen marries into the Li family in the Jiji camp, and follows Li Ji's career with ups and downs, I am afraid that she will be exhausted in a few days.
After thinking about it, he heard Xu Lingyi suddenly say: "As for Sister Zhen'er's marriage, let's decide the son of the Shao family!" ”
Are the two of them thinking about Sister Zhen's marriage together?
Eleven Niang was slightly stunned.
Xu Lingyi has already said: "In this world, nothing is perfect. Compared with marrying far away, I would prefer my sister Zhen's life to be stable. Although the Li family kid is good, Li Zongbing acts aggressively, but he is not a good match. What's more, Mr. Li started his family by his wife, and Mrs. Li will definitely value the status of her daughter-in-law. Once Li Gongzi encounters difficulties, he is afraid that he will encourage his daughter-in-law to run for his son. Sister Zhen is a gentle and obedient person. When the time comes, won't Sister Zhen be the second Mrs. Li? The Shao family is different. A century-old family, prosperous people, stable family style, will not be easily involved in temple disputes. With the protection of the family, Sister Zhen married into the Shao family, and she could teach her husband and children and live a small life with peace of mind. ”
Eleven Niang agrees with this point of view.
The Li family has a weak foundation, and it is the time to start a business, and it is good to marry a daughter-in-law who can help. To put it mildly, if something happens to the Xu family, I'm afraid that Sister Zhen will be disliked immediately!
"And the predicament of our Xu family is not in the present, but in the future." Xu Lingyi said, a hint of fierceness flashed in his eyes, "Even if we don't find a helper, we can't find someone who drags our feet." ”
The crisis of the Xu family was in the later establishment of the prince and the succession of the unification. The Shao family has been a family for a long time, has experienced these things many times, and the family has a big business, so it is natural to act cautiously. And the Li family will look at the chaotic scene at that time, and Li Lingzhi will not only not remain neutral, but I am afraid that he will also think about supporting the merits. If the situation is favorable to the Xu family, it is good to say, if the situation is critical, let alone having the same heart with the Xu family, there may even be a situation of rebellion......
Eleven Niang said "um" softly.
"I'll handle the affairs of the Li family." Xu Lingyi looked at Eleven Niang, "Didn't he want to ask the Fujian General Army?" When the time comes, I will come forward to say hello to Liang Ge Lao. As for whether Liang Ge Lao sells this face, it depends on what Liang Lao Ge has plans and whether Mr. Li is so strong. As for the marriage, let's just say that the two children don't match, right? In this way, the Li family has less resentment. ”
That's for the best. Sometimes, it is better to offend a gentleman than a villain.
Speaking of which, Eleven Niang remembered that the fifth lady was talking about the matchmaker for Sister Zhen'er: "...... It's better for Hou Ye to make a decision early. Lest it be dragged around, our sister Zhen will have a reputation for being picky. ”
Xu Lingyi was very surprised when he heard this, thought about it, and said: "I'm afraid that if Jinghaihou makes such a fuss, people with a little seniority will stare at the position of Fujian General Army." "I suspect that the family of the fifth lady as a matchmaker is the same as Mr. Li, and wants to use Sister Zhen'er's marriage to pull a relationship." We'll go to discuss Mrs. Tai early tomorrow morning, and then you'll go and discuss this matter with Lin Da* in the afternoon." ”
It's better that way. can be used as an excuse that Xu Lingyi and other families have a verbal agreement, and justifiably postponed the marriage done by the fifth lady.
The husband and wife discussed, and Eleven Niang sent Xu Lingyi away.
After moving back, they resumed their old lives. According to the day, Xu Lingyi has been resting in Aunt Qin's house for the past few days.
Eleven Niang called Aunt Wen over.
Hearing that she had decided to marry the Shao family, Aunt Wen took a long breath, with a little joy at the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, and bent her knees to salute Eleven Niang: "Madam, your great kindness, the eldest lady will definitely not forget it." ”
What does it matter if you act with your heart and forget or not?
Eleven Niang smiled and did not speak.
In the middle of the night, the wild goose on duty was awakened. The mother-in-law guarding the door whispered: "Aunt Qin's side, the lights are bright." Something unusual. ”
Yan Rong rewarded the mother-in-law with half a penny, sent the little maid to take a look, and went to the inner room lightly.
The inner room was closed and the room was dark.
She leaned on the door and listened, without a sound, hesitated for a moment, and then turned back into the house.
After about a stick of incense, the little maid came.
"I don't know what's going on," she whispered, "I only know that Master Hou was fine when he went, and suddenly he ordered Aunt Qin's eldest maid Cui'er to help clean up the east wing." Cui'er knelt in front of the Hou Ye and kowtowed. Hou Ye was so angry that his face turned blue, and he opened the back door and went to Banyuepan. ”
Yan Rong was taken aback: "Have you already gone to Banyuepan?" ”
The little maid nodded: "When I went, Master Hou was coming out of Aunt Qin's yard!" ”
"Help me inquire tomorrow and see what's going on?" Yanrong said, and took out half a penny, "This one will buy you snacks." Then the next day, while serving Eleven Niang to wash her face, she told Eleven Niang about it.
Shi Niang pondered for a while and said, "Since Hou Ye went to Banyuepan, I'm afraid I don't want anyone to know about it." Don't mention it again. But I was curious about what happened, and I actually provoked Xu Lingyi to Banyuepan.
When I met Xu Lingyi at breakfast, he didn't mention anything, and Eleven Niang pretended not to know and went to Mrs. Tai.
Hearing about the decision of the two, Mrs. Tai thought about it and did not raise any objections, but said: "If you marry someone, you are someone from someone else's family." Even in Yanjing, it is easy not to come back, not to mention that Cangzhou is only three days away. Let's settle this matter! "I don't know if I'm convincing Xu Lingyi and Eleven Niang, or convincing myself.
Eleven Niang proposed to let Sister Zhen remarry when she was sixteen years old.
Mrs. Tai was a little surprised.
Eleven Niang explained: "Because it is a distant marriage, it is not easy to come back in the future, and I want to keep her for a few more days." "I'm also afraid that Sister Zhen will marry too early, and she will not have an opinion in the future. I am worried that she will give birth too early and damage her body or suffer from difficult childbirth.
"It's fine." Mrs. Tai said, "People are bigger, and they are more steady." ”
Then Eleven Niang went to the fifth lady and told her about wanting to marry the Lin family.
The fifth lady smiled and said, "It's us who mentioned it late." ”
Regardless of whether she was sincere or fake, she finally exposed this matter.
Eleven Niang went to Lin Da * Grandma in the afternoon.
When Lin Da*'s grandmother heard the letter, she was relieved: "These days, many people have proposed to Zhong Ran, and Zhong Ran is interested and silent. I'm worried, but I'm glad you're here! ”
"This is fate!" Eleven Niang smiled and greeted Lin Da*'s grandmother, and put forward the condition that Sister Zhen would leave the cabinet at the age of sixteen.
