Chapter 289: Confrontation (Part II)

Eleven Niang was silent, and Xu Lingyi was very bored.

He smiled self-deprecatingly, lost interest in speaking, and lowered his head to drink tea.

"What did Master Hou find?" Suddenly, there was a soft whisper in the room.

Xu Lingyi was stunned. Look up. The wife sitting opposite her hung her head, her eyes staring at the embroidery in her hand without blinkingβ€”if he hadn't seen the corners of her mouth curled slightly, he would have thought it was his own auditory hallucination.

I didn't talk to myself for a few days, and now I suddenly opened my mouth...... Is it his own words that make Eleven Niang curious? Or has Eleven Niang's anger subsided? Either way, it's an opportunity to break the ice between us. Of course, Xu Lingyi will not let it go.

There was a faint joy between his brows.

"The women who are recommended by the Ou family to the Ministry of Rites are all known for their virtuous names in the local area, and the women who are secretly recommended to the Ministry of Rites, I sent someone to inquire, and it is said that they are all extremely outstanding." Xu Lingyi's voice was as gentle and calm as just now, but it was a little light.

He has been a little uncomfortable in the past few days, and now he is willing to lower his posture and talk to himself...... The movements in Eleven Niang's hands gradually slowed down, revealing a listening look, and gave each other a step.

The Cold War is only to make the other side understand its own attitude, but a cold war that is too long cannot solve any problems except to make the husband and wife discordant.

"This time I chose a concubine for the emperor's eldest son instead of a concubine for the emperor, and only one concubine was selected. How can a person with excellent appearance be more conducive to being selected? According to common sense, the Ou family should select a woman with outstanding virtue in advance to build momentum for it, and then supplement it with one or two women in case of emergency, so as to ensure that the recommended person can finally enter the eyes of the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother. But the people of the Ou family seem to be a little disorganized in this matter. Both openly and secretly are working hard, so that the people in the Ministry of Rites are very embarrassed and don't know what to do. actually let the Yang family come out on top. ”

Eleven Niang looked up at Xu Lingyi, revealing a surprised expression.

Xu Lingyi looked at it and smiled slightly: "Not angry?" ”

"Angry!" Eleven Niang looked at Xu Lingyi seriously, and said very simply, "The same happened to Brother Jie last time. Hou Ye didn't say a word and threw the child to the concubine, which made the concubine worry for a while. This time again...... I never know that I will be a concubine in case of trouble, how can a concubine not be angry?

"The concubine also knows that a manly husband must speak loudly. Although you and Master Xiang only made a verbal agreement, it was also something you promised. Even if the concubine is unwilling in her heart, for the sake of the face of the Hou Ye, she should not say anything about going to see Miss Xiang, and she must also handle this marriage decently and lively. It's just clear that the concubine's body and mind are difficult to settle. ”

As she spoke, her face showed a little displeasure, "Master Hou also said that telling Brother Yu about this family affair is for the sake of Brother Yu's future, and for the peace of the house." The brothers have their own heads, so they don't just worry about the family's wealth. The concubine sounds very reasonable. You have thought about everything thoroughly, arranged it properly, and found a discerning second sister-in-law to talk about it. If you tell the concubine in detail in advance, the concubine body will be stupid and dull, thinking about the Hou Ye's hard work for his children, thinking about the Xiang family's kindness to the concubine to Brother Yu, and only being grateful to the Xiang family and the second sister-in-law, where can you say indignantly that you want to see Miss Xiang and splash the face of you, Lord Xiang and the second sister-in-law? Hou Ye didn't agree at the time, he must be blaming me for not knowing the general situation, right? ”

When Xu Lingyi heard Eleven Niang say, "No matter how unwilling you are, for the sake of Hou Ye's face, she will also be decent and lively to handle the marriage between Brother Yu and Miss Xiang Er", she couldn't help but be a little surprised, and when she heard Eleven Niang say "indignantly proposed to see Miss Xiang's family", she knew that Eleven Niang was just a momentary angry talk, and she was happy in her heart, and when Eleven Niang asked him, "Are you blaming me for not knowing the general situation", he hurriedly said: "No, no!" ”

Eleven Niang just didn't hear it. continued: "You don't know, I met my second sister-in-law in those days, but I didn't mention a word, let alone say a few words of gratitude. If you have a bigger heart, you can smile and pass. If you have a little less energy, you secretly joke that the concubine doesn't know how small the picture is, and she feels that she is entrusted by others and loyal to others, but she runs around in vain. You let the concubine know the truth, how to face the second sister-in-law? How do you mention this matter to your second sister-in-law? ”

Xu Lingyi was very embarrassed. muttered: "The second sister-in-law is not the narrow-minded person......"

Eleven Niang heard this sentence and sighed: "Just because the second sister-in-law is not a narrow-minded person, the Hou Ye and the concubine should treat each other with sincerity and respect." Otherwise, the concubine would not be so uneasy! He added, "Speaking of which, if the second lady of the Xiang family is really as the second sister-in-law said, her personality is extremely tame, and she is very compatible with Brother Yu." Although I am his stepmother, I also count on him to be good, and I hope that their brothers, concubines and harmony can make the Xu family prosperous. Such a good thing has given birth to so many waves! As he spoke, he glanced at Xu Lingyi.

He couldn't help but look embarrassed. But I was still worried that Eleven Niang was going to see Miss Xiang's family, so I hardened: "That Miss Xiang's family? ”

"Naturally, I want to see it!"

Xu Lingyi smiled bitterly.

"Master Xiang agreed to marry his daughter-in-law, don't I, as a mother-in-law, ask a word?" Eleven Niang said angrily, "No matter what, the second sister-in-law is also the aunt and grandmother of the Xiang family, do you still let the second sister-in-law discuss the deposit and dowry with Mrs. Xiang?" ”

Xu Lingyi was relieved: "That's what you should go and see!" I couldn't help but smile on my face.

Eleven Niang got up and called Yan Rong to come in and help her change her clothes.

"Go at this time?" Xu Lingyi stood up and looked at Eleven Niang in surprise, "Wouldn't it be too hasty?" ”

"Who said this time is gone!" Eleven Niang glanced at him, "Why don't you wait until after the eldest sister's removal ceremony!" I'm going to my second sister-in-law! ”

"What are you going to do?" Xu Lingyi was stunned, and his expression was a little nervous.

Eleven Niang thought of the rumors that she had heard about the discord between Yuan Niang and the second lady......

It seems that the contradiction between Yuan Niang and the second lady has made Xu Lingyi a frightened bird!

She forced a smile and said, "Naturally, I want to thank my second sister-in-law!" The second sister-in-law helped Brother Yu to facilitate such a good marriage, and relieved the worries of the Hou Ye...... I don't know, I don't know, now that I know, I have to thank my second sister-in-law in person. Then he hesitated for a moment and said, "Hou Ye will go with you too, right?" This also seems more solemn. ”

Xu Lingyi was relieved when she heard this, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows showed a little joy: "Naturally, we want to go together!" Naturally, we want to go together! ”

Eleven Niang covered her sleeves and smiled, called the end of spring to come in to help Xu Lingyi change her clothes, freshened up in the clean room, changed into a goose yellow embroidered grass green Ruyi pattern jacket, and Xu Lingyi went to Shaohua Courtyard.

On the way, she took the initiative to ask Xu Lingyi: "Will the eldest princess of the emperor come from the Yang family?" ”

"Unlikely!" Xu Lingyi said, "This matter still has to be decided by the emperor in the end." ”

"Then Master Hou said that there is something strange about the affairs of the district family, what is the matter?"

The maids followed from a distance, and the two slowed down, talking as they went.

"Marquis Jinghai has nine sons and three daughters under his knees. The eldest son, the fourth son, the sixth son, and the seventh son are all concubines, and the other sons are concubines. The imperial concubine Niangniang is the second daughter of the third room. The eldest son was made a son thirty years ago. In recent years, Jinghaihou has been very old, and all the affairs of his family are taken care of by the prince, and he has a prestige in Fujian. When the emperor ascended the throne, he came to the court and had several encounters with me. He is a very restrained and calm person. Xu Lingyi's expression gradually became solemn, "In the matter of competing for the crown, the winner is the king, and the loser is the villain." It's a risk to the family. Without a few uncertainties, no one dares to act rashly. In the matter of the five princes, the Ou family was too eager for quick success. For this reason, I also quietly met Wang Jiubao. I asked him about the situation of the district's family, and I was afraid that there was something I didn't know. Speaking of this, his eyes were solemn, "Who knows, what Wang Jiubao said is similar to what I understand." At this time, there was a matter of recommending the eldest princess of the emperor. The two methods of acting are extremely similar - the follow-up is insufficient, sometimes feminine and fast, sometimes sophisticated and sleek......" Speaking of this, he stopped and looked at Eleven Niang, "I suspect that there is a problem within the Ou family!" ”

Things that get involved in politics will become very complicated, and Eleven Niang feels that even if she knows, she can't help Xu Lingyi. She said very directly: "Is that a good thing for our family?" Or is it a bad thing? ”

"I don't know yet!" Xu Lingyi smiled faintly, changed his tone, and said, "However, I think it should be a good thing!" ”

It's a good thing!

Eleven Niang walked forward with him and told him about Brother Yu: "...... Since he wants to take the imperial examination, the matter of Mr. is imminent. I think I'll go to the second sister-in-law later, so it's better to ask the second sister-in-law and ask her to help find a gentleman! ”

Xu Lingyi said: "After all, the second sister-in-law is a widow, and she has not had contact with her old acquaintance for many years. How embarrassed to always trouble her. I thought, what do you think of sending Brother Yu to Mr. Jiang of the Jinxi Academy in Le'an to study? ”

Eleven Niang was slightly stunned.

Xu Siyu is only twelve years old this year, is he willing to go to such a far place to study?

"If you don't cut jade, you can't make a weapon." Her thoughts flashed, and Xu Lingyi said, "What's more, Mr. Jiang's knowledge and character are obvious to all." If you go there to see and learn, your vision will be broadened. There is only good for him in the future, and there is no harm in it. ”

"When did Master Hou get this thought?" Eleven Niang smiled, "But I didn't say a word!" ”

"This is what you reminded me!" Xu Lingyi smiled, "Didn't you say that it's better to read a thousand books than to travel thousands of miles?" Since Brother Qin can follow the third brother to endure hardships, Brother Yu also has to hone it. ”

I can't talk about the reminder, maybe it's a little touching!

Knowing how vast the world is, you know how small you are. Maybe Xu Siyu will be more tired of the title of Marquis of Yongping because of this, and maybe he will know that there are more important things in the world than the title. It's a double-edged sword, but if you don't give it a try, who knows what the result will be!

Eleven Niang smiled slightly, and Shaohua Courtyard was in front of her.
