Chapter 299: Good Intentions (Part II)

The old lady was lying on a yellow pear couch carved with chrysanthemum patterns, covered with blue-blue rich and colorful satin. The old lady was half-propped up, and her face was tired.

Xue Chongyi didn't see the old lady speak, and continued: "It's really a good thing not to go out, and evil things to go a thousand miles." I heard about it before I left the yamen. ”

The old lady said: "It's nothing, it's just that the child doesn't understand and talks nonsense." ”

Xue Chongyi said: "I'm afraid that the speaker has no intention of listening to the heart, if no one talks about it in his ear, he won't talk nonsense everywhere." ”

The old lady frowned slightly, "You don't have to worry too much. There are also children who take things out of context, and besides, Brother An is different from ordinary people, so everyone will spread it. ”

Xue Chongyi was originally full of heat, and suddenly seemed to have been poured cold water.

The old lady said: "Brother An, I also look at it, it's just a child, I don't even recognize Rong Hua, can I still listen to what Rong Hua says?" I'm afraid that my in-laws can't take care of it during this period of time. ”

Xue Chongyi was speechless for a while, and mentioned Zhou Chong's matter again, "That Zhou Chong, I know that in addition to drinking all day long, he is gambling money, how did he choose such a person to come up, no wonder the thief is difficult to prevent." ”

The old lady glanced at Xue Chongyi, and the bright light startled Xue Chongyi.

The old lady said coldly: "The government hasn't said anything yet, no one knows what it is, don't say a small Zhou Chong, even if it's ten Zhou Chong, you can't make such a big mess, you haven't heard any movement in the court since you came back from accompanying the capital?" ”

The old lady suddenly asked him in turn...... Xue Chongyi was stunned, "Except for Prince An's rebellion, there is no other ......"

The old lady said: "You go to arrange Mingbai's affairs with you, what is going on over there?" ”

Xue Chongyi said frustratedly: "Who knew that what we promised before was good, but we changed the hexagram temporarily, and we didn't dare to leave, and we waited for many days." ”

Xue wanted to bring the medicine up, and the old lady got up and drank it, and rinsed her mouth.

Xue Chongyi said: "If you know that your family will ...... Mingbai and Mingwei and I will definitely come back sooner. ”

The old lady looked calm and seemed to be inadvertent, "You don't want to think about it, maybe you won't have such a thing at home." With so many people in the family, who dares to break in casually? ”

Xue Chongyi's heart couldn't help but tighten when he heard this, "What does mother mean?" …… Be...... Someone deliberately pushed us away? ”

The old lady sneered: "It's rare that you can still think clearly. Over the years, I have raised you all under my wings, so that you can't stand the wind and rain, I thought it would be good for you, but who knew that I would raise you like this, I don't want to know everything clearly, I only get entangled in trivial things, where is the appearance of a man. ”

"In vain, you entered the office early, and you have been running errands in the court all these years, and I still need to remind you of these things."

The more Xue Chongyi listened, the cooler his heart became, "What does my mother mean...... Who is going to target our family? What's in it for that? ”

"The benefits? In politics, as long as it is not an alliance, it is an enemy. Even if it is an alliance, it is possible to abandon it and become a pawn. Haven't I experienced enough over the years? I don't dare to make it clear to you on weekdays, for fear that you will be afraid, but even if I don't say it, you should realize something, we have suffered a lot in this, do you think that if you draw a clear line with King Xuan, our family will not be suspicious? It is said that wealth is sought in danger, don't forget to be vigilant just thinking about enjoying wealth. ”

Xue Chongyi's expression was solemn, "That's what Mother said." ”

The old lady said: "You have to think more about this family affair with Chang Ningbo's family." ”

Xue Chongyi didn't expect that Xue Mingwei's marriage would be involved, "Mother, this family affair has been decided a long time ago, and the knowledge post has already been delivered...... Besides, Miss Chang Ningbo is knowledgeable and courteous, and her heart is good, so it is a blessing for Mingwei to marry this relative......"

"Miss Ren grew up in front of Mrs. Ren, I can't say what will happen, if it is easy to talk about Heshun, even if it can't be Heshun......" The old lady sighed, "What kind of family are we?" At this point, how can you regret your marriage? But there are some things you also have to take precautions, fortunately, our family is to marry a daughter-in-law fù back, as the saying goes, marry with a husband, and it doesn't matter what happens to your mother's family. ”

Xue Chongyi only felt in a trance when he heard this.

The old lady said: "I also read the dowry list, it is less than when I was looking at Rong Hua, after all, Ming Rui is the elder, and people like us are more courteous, don't care about one or the other." ”

Xue Chongyi wanted to open his mouth to argue, but seeing the old lady's straight face, he only swallowed and retracted the words in his mouth.

The mother and son sat for a while, and the old lady took a sip of tea and saw Xue Chongyi sitting still, and raised her eyes, "What's the matter?" ”

Xue Chongyi wanted to speak and stopped, and only said after a while: "Everyone outside is talking about my jokes, saying that Yan Shan was taken captive...... I suffered a loss, I heard it outside and pretended not to hear it......"

The old lady said: "That's right, outsiders will just say it for a while, Yan Shan is even more aggrieved in her heart, after you come back, persuade her, let her see it, there will be a blessing if you don't die." ”

Xue Chongyi's voice became hoarse and disappointed, and it was difficult to say anything in the future, so he only said reluctantly: "I think that if I can be happier, I can also rush to the bad luck, and I can raise my head outside." ”

The old lady didn't wait for Xue Chongyi to continue, "Wait until the day of Ming's marriage, just put more firecrackers, I have good materials in my room, and the color is also fresh, let people use it to make a new dress for the second wife, and when the time comes, I will naturally be happy when I sit in the main hall. ”

Xue Chongyi was speechless for a while, so he could only say, "My son knows." ”

Xue Chongyi left, and the old lady went to rest in the blue yarn cupboard.

Mother Li brought pastries to the old lady to eat, and the old lady just looked at it and asked Mother Li to sit down next to her, "What do you mean by old 2?" ”

Mother Li was slightly stunned, "Slave maid...... The slave maid ...... "The second master is here for the young lady, just to use the uncle of the family to suppress the young lady, and Zhou Chong's matter naturally wants to blame the young lady."

The old lady's face turned slightly pale, "At this time, why don't they understand this truth, I didn't want to take care of them when I didn't divide the family, they never forgot the title, and they knew that I should have given him the title." Seeing that others were all calculating on the Xue family, how could he not know that he wanted to find out who the person who harmed the Xue family was, but he still had to find out the mistakes of his own family. He already knew why Zhou Chong didn't mention it early in the morning, but he didn't talk about it until after the accident. ”

"Besides, this time Prince An conspired against the crime, the Cai family also lost the profit, the biggest beneficiary is Prince Zhuang, I'm afraid this time it is a trap under Prince Zhuang, Chang Ningbo's family supports Prince Zhuang, what I'm most afraid of is that this family business is that the drunkard doesn't mean to drink."

"Lao 2 can really control it, and whoever he marries is okay, and I don't have to worry. Today, after my temptation, the old 2 looks unaware, so how can I get it, I still don't know if I will be used in the future. ”

Mother Li comforted the old lady, "No, the second master should have a calculation in his heart, and besides, our family is going through something, and the second master will be careful not to trust others easily." Even if the second master is wrong, there is still an old lady. ”

The old lady was a little tired, and her brow was loosened with her fingers, "What if I'm so sick that I can't even speak?" ”

Li's mother was speechless for a while.

"I have protected him for many years, not because of anything else, he was born before a full term, and the colt looked at his little cry and cried very little, and I was very fond of him, and I was unconsciously kinder to him. Back then, the emperor restored the hereditary title of the Xue family, if I passed it on to the second room, it would be like Mingrui was not a child of the Xue family. Being able to inherit the title of the Xue family can show that I value Mingrui more as the bloodline of the Xue family, rather than Mingrui having a grandfather of King Xuan. ”

The old lady never explained this, and she didn't know that the old lady had returned the title to the long house for this reason.

The hereditary title of the Xue family is inherited only by the descendants of the Xue family.

Mother Li has been with the old lady for so many years, so she naturally knows the old lady's heart knot, "Don't worry, the second master will naturally go back and think carefully after listening to your words." ”

I hope so. That way, she can close her eyes and feel at ease.

Brother An woke up, and Chen's mother stepped forward and said, "Uncle, Mrs. and Cherry are waiting at home." ”

Brother An jumped up from the kang all of a sudden, "My mother is going to see me?" ”

Chen's mother smiled: "Mrs. is in the uncle's room." ”

Brother An didn't even wear shoes and pulled Chen's mother, "I want my mother, I want my mother, ...... Come on. ”

Chen's mother reluctantly saluted Rong Hua in a hurry.

Rong Hua watched the Tao family pick up Brother An's carriage and leave, and then turned around and went home. People are so strange, the eldest wife is reluctant to mention that she gave birth to a son like Brother An, and her whole heart is on her two daughters, but it is Brother An who cares about the eldest wife the most.

The Tao family is like this now, she only thinks of a way back for Brother Hong, what should Brother An do? Who can take care of Anko?

Rong Hua returned to the courtyard and called Chūn Yao, Jinxiu, Rui Qing and others, "No matter what gossip there is in the house, whether it is about me or about the child in my belly, you must not return a word, if you hear it, you will not hear it, and you don't need to say it in my ear." ”

It's nothing more than saying that she has an older brother like Brother An, and she doesn't know what will happen if she gives birth to a child. No matter how bold the people in the house were, they didn't dare to say it in her ear, and these gossips couldn't affect her mood, so they naturally spread it.

And all of them answered. Rong Hua called Chūn Yao and Jinxiu into the Bisha cupboard again, "Let people quietly look at the big, there is no big thing not to use to reply to me." ”

Chūn Yao and Jinxiu looked at each other. In other words, they need to distinguish between big and small things.

Chūn Yao asked in a low voice, "Does the young lady think that the big are deliberately trying to be timid and submissive?" ”

Rong Hua smiled faintly, "Not necessarily." "No matter what happens in the house, it always doesn't affect the Qian family, and the Qian family always hides themselves tightly.

Dazhong and Dajiān are the most difficult to distinguish. She would rather believe what she has or not, and she can't be negligent in her precautions.
