144 Woman Matchmaker?
Liang and the others heard what she said.
Ancient and modern, inside and outside, but whenever a new official takes office, how can there be no replacement? Now all parts of the house have been almost stuffed by these three people, but there is an old lady in the Zhuangzi who is in charge, and he has not moved. Now that the steward there is only as long as he is replaced, he doesn't have to think about it at all, and these three people naturally sharpen their heads and pretend to be people inside.
Liuli can't wait for them to make a fuss, and the more fierce they are, the less they have the heart to find her trouble. None of these three are easy to get along with, and it depends on what they do.
Seeing that the fire had been lit, Liuli patted her ass and got up, picked up the two scrolls of words in her hand and put them in front of Liang: "Here are two pairs of words for the fourth girl, please ask the second lady to bring them back to the fourth girl." Then he took his leave.
Liang sat down in Qi's Nie's ** spicy gaze and spoke for a while before letting the maid go back to the room with this word.
Shuhua was embroidering a wedding dress for herself, and when she saw Liang come in, she got up and sat down. After Liang finished talking about what had just happened in the Begonia Courtyard, he handed her the two words, and said suspiciously: "You are so good with her now." You've always been a bit pretentious, so what's there about that girl to associate with? ”
Shuhua sat back on the embroidery stool, picked up the needle and said, "Mother still can't see how powerful she is, in my opinion, you will be unlucky sooner or later." ”
Liang pulled down his face suddenly: "What are these words?!" ”
Shuhua said: "You wait, although the Qi family is proud now, she is no better than the Yu family." The Yu family has been the eldest lady in the mansion for so many years, and her prestige in the hearts of everyone has long been deep-rooted. It didn't take the slightest effort for Qi to completely take her place. This is simply not possible. Judging from her current behavior, she didn't realize this at all, but just now Liuli suddenly talked about the change of stewardship in Zhuangzi, which shows that she has seen through Qi's point. So I'm waiting to see the jokes of the three of you. If the mother also follows the Qi family to act as casually, she will be implicated sooner or later. ”
Liang was speechless for a long time, and finally said sneeringly: "You mean that Zhuangzi's change of steward is her bait?" I really don't see that...... The two of the Qi clan and the Nie clan are thinking about how to add people to it, if the people who insert it have a conflict with the original steward of Zhuangzi, then where can our people fight those ruffians? …… Alas, when you say that, I'm a little scared! This girl, how can this girl have such a deep scheming? ”
Shuhua opened the two volumes of words to look at them carefully, and replied for a long time: "If there is no such scheming, where can the born thoughts write such a brilliant stroke?" Turning his head and looking at Liang: "Mother, don't be afraid. In my guess. As long as you don't touch her, she won't do anything to you. I'm going to get married next year, and I'm afraid you'll get deeper and deeper into this whirlpool for the sake of your immediate interests. Listen to me. No matter who is in charge of the house, you will not go deep into everything and will not die, and if you have to spare and spare others, you will be safe and sound. ”
Liang looked at her in a daze and nodded slowly.
Yanhua's wedding day was set for the ninth day of August, and it arrived within two days after Liuli received the sign. Although it was a house-filling, it was also a main room, but Nie still spent a lot of money to prepare a dowry of sixty-four for Yan Hua, which gave her enough face.
On this day, the county lord of Chunyang, the prince of Jing Guogong and his wife, and the prince and wife of the Marquis of Huaining came, as well as the in-laws of each room. Yu Youcheng's mansion only came to Yu's two brothers-in-law. I just came to Anxi Hall to sit down, put on the makeup gift and left. In the Song Mansion, Song Bi and Mrs. came together, so that Shuhua was bored in the room for a whole day and did not come out. Liang had a very happy conversation with Mrs. Song, and after a long time, these things happened later, and she was finally glad that Shuhua had chosen it.
Qi's as the head of the house, this time with Yan Hua's auspicious day high-profile appearance, Liuli only said that she was silent, just afraid that there would be some embarrassment in communication, but I didn't expect to get this, she actually had her own work, not as exquisite as Yu's, but in a group of ladies with a unique cool and bold to win admiration.
Liuli is now accompanied by Aunt Su's knees, and there is no part in the front yard to join in the fun, only to accompany her with the old lady to welcome guests in the flower hall.
There are a lot of visitors today, and the old lady is so strong, Liuli is afraid that she won't be able to hold on, so she greeted Nie and asked Liang to sit in the flower hall.
Chunyang has always been with the main courtyard for a long time, and now he has seen Liuli more times, and he is gradually getting acquainted. Liuli saw that her face was a little haggard, thinking that she was unwell, so she called Hongmei to give her carminative oil to massage her forehead acupoint. Chunyang said: "I just stayed up late with our master to deal with official business in the past few days, so it's okay." ”
Liuli said: "Why is my uncle so busy these days? ”
Chunyang saw that there were no outsiders in the flower hall, so he sighed and said: "The frontier battle is almost over, and Marshal Qi will return to the court." The saint really didn't know how to reward him, and the previous son summoned a group of royal brothers into the palace to eat tea and talk, and the prince proposed that it would be better to build a mansion and give it to the marshal first. However, there are also regulations for building a government, and there is no title, so it cannot be built indiscriminately. After pondering for a long time, the saint asked the Ministry of Industry to draw a map of the scale of our Yuwang Mansion first. Our Yuwang Mansion is an authentic palace, although the saint did not say it explicitly, but according to this meaning, isn't it the meaning of praying for this marshal to be crowned king! How dare the Ministry of Industry delay, I found our prince overnight and asked us to investigate and produce the map, no, our lord has been busy doing things in the past two days. ”
This king is not a trivial matter, except for the founding of the country, there is no precedent for such a king with a different surname! Liuli and the others couldn't help but widen their eyes when they heard this.
When the old lady heard this, she also stopped raising her glass and said, "In this way, this saint has really come home to pray for the grace of this marshal." According to his merits, it is not too much to be crowned a prince, but it is not a good thing that this courtier has too much merit. ”
Chunyang sighed, "The old lady said this, our lord said the same thing. This Marshal Qi's mother is the sister of the current Queen Mother, and the Qi family has always been close to King Qing, not to mention anything else, just the prince's side-" At this point she paused, as if she felt that this word should not come out of her mouth, so she pursed her lips.
Liuli knew that the prince and King Qing were not in harmony, but no one in the palace could tell whether it was right or wrong, so he didn't know how the two brothers were doing. When Marshal Qi returns to the court, the situation will inevitably fluctuate again.
After talking here for a while, it was rumored that the Hou Shizi and his wife of Huaining had arrived with Xiao Shizi. In the past, Xiao Shizi came alone for everything in the house, but this time the Shizi and his wife came in person, which couldn't help but make the old lady and others feel very excited.
The old lady propped up her body and went to the front hall to greet her, accompanied by Liuli and Huanhua. Yuhua did not appear today, and I don't know if he deliberately avoided suspicion or felt uncomfortable. After seeing the ceremony, the prince and Du Rui went to the side hall with the old lady to have tea, but Mrs. Shizi followed the old lady into the flower hall.
Chunyang and Mrs. Shizi are also familiar with each other, so he humbly sat down in the guest seat, where Guo Yao heard that the prince had arrived, and also came from Wutong Courtyard to accompany him.
Liuli and Huanhua were still around the old lady, listening to the female guests below. But somehow, the eyes of the Lady of the Princes always seemed to look at her intentionally or unintentionally. The first time or twice is fine. When I arrived three or four times, Liuli was a little up and down, didn't she go in a hurry in the morning, what was wrong with her makeup? But when I think about it, what I am wearing today is a new shirt made by Rui'er herself, the color is also a soft smoke blue, and the double bun and beaded flowers on the head have also been inspected by Laurel and Begonia several times, and the rouge or something should not be too colorful, and I can't think of anything wrong.
But in the end, he still didn't have confidence, so he quietly said goodbye to the old lady and went to the back room.
When Mrs. Shizi saw her leaving, she smiled slightly: "This girl just now, dare to ask which house is the daughter?" ”
The old lady glanced at Guo Yao, and said with a smile: "Fang Cai is the eldest son of the concubine, whose name is Liuli." ”
Mrs. Shizi bowed her head slightly and smiled.
He Lili was also very excited when he heard the arrival of the Hou Shizi and his wife in Huaining, and called the old lady out of the gap, and said: "The prince and his wife must have come to the mansion for Yu'er, why don't we ask the lord of Chunyang County to be a matchmaker and go and mention it to them!" ”
The old lady looked out of the door and said, "Since ancient times, where has the reason that the woman's family asked the matchmaker to propose marriage to the man?" I don't think it's appropriate. ”
He Qili frowned and said: "But the Huaining Marquis Mansion doesn't rain when it thunders, and now it's delayed in proposing marriage, so we can't wait like this forever?" "Our Changfang has lost the power to feed me, and my father can't even help me with this."
The old lady looked at him for a long time, sighed and said, "Your daughter-in-law has a good saying, you are indeed a husband and father who are bent on climbing up, regardless of his wife and sons. Let me ask you, when did the Marquis of Huaining say that he wanted to marry Yu'er? It's all speculation, speculation! ”
He Lili stood stunned for a moment, and suddenly said calmly: "The father accuses the child of clinging to it, but isn't the father this kind of person who is clinging to it?" What's more, I'm not just clinging to myself, but also for our He Mansion, Yu'er married into the Huaining Marquis Mansion, with the eldest princess's favor for her, and she will follow her to the palace to climb the relationship, isn't this a good thing for us? ”
The old lady's brows became tighter and tighter, and finally he couldn't help but say, "Do you only have this one daughter in your eyes?!" ”
He Lili was stunned, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, "What does my father mean by this?" ”
"It's not interesting!" The old lady held back the words that were about to spit out, and patiently brushed his sleeves inside.
