Shuhua hadn't slept yet, and was crooked on the bed flipping the Book of Songs. Liang pulled his face, sat down at the head of her bed, and before he could speak, he was already crying. Shuhua said: "Mother, what are you doing?" ”

Liang shook the handkerchief, wiped his tears and said, "What are you doing, what are you still asking me to do?" Listen to the current bustle in the main courtyard, and then look at the rewards that others have received, why can they be so proud? Isn't it all because you didn't go?! ”

Shuhua glanced out of the window and said, "Reward? When have we ever been missing these? When does my mother care about this little money? He opened the book again and set his eyes on the scroll. Liang was stunned and said, "How much money is this?" What does this reward represent, it is the joy and affirmation of the eldest princess, you didn't go, but let Yu Yatou get His Royal Highness's favor back! It's okay to reward those things, the key is that now she is in the limelight alone, isn't it very bad for you? In the future, if she enters the palace and becomes a mother, Yu's tail may not be where to go! ”

Shuhua put the book down and said, "Mother just wants me to enter the palace like this?" ”

Liang was stunned, and without waiting for her to answer, Shuhua sat up, looked at her and said: "Even if I can't see my figure all year round, even if I am secretly plotted in it, even if one day my servant is accidentally beaten into the cold palace, even if my heir born in the future is assassinated, and even if the saint will go west in a few years, I will live in the harem with this youthful face and eat fasting and chant Buddha for a lifetime, or simply be buried, are you willing to take these risks and let me enter the palace?" ”

Liang was speechless and stood up in a daze, "This, isn't this all, let's say okay?" ”

Shuhua straightened her back and narrowed her eyes slightly: "Yes, I once promised you to fight for you, but if I have to endure so much pain in order to be able to get your eyebrows raised, do you feel happy?" You can't even tolerate an Aunt Liu, but would rather your daughter compete with those thousands of women for a man? ”

Liang stood in place in a daze, unable to speak for a long time. Suddenly, she thought of something, her eyes widened sharply, and she rushed to the bed and pointed at her, "You, did you deliberately not go to Jinquan Temple?" ”

Shuhua turned her head slowly, "Mother finally has a smart time." Yes, the last time Dr. Wu came to ask my sister-in-law for a pulse, I asked him for some medicine that can disrupt menstruation, and I took it yesterday, and today Mr. happened to be there, so I asked Aunt Ren to send me back. So even if you want to hide this and force me to go, my husband won't allow it. ”

Liang only felt that the sky was dark for a while, and it took a long time to stand firm on the bed railing.

With this happy event in the long room, the haze brought by Xie's birth of a daughter and not a boy was swept away, and Yu's walked with the wind in the past few days, and everyone smiled when he saw it, and he even sealed many thank-you gifts to Guo Yao. At least Guo Yao didn't know if he confiscated the glass, because the old lady had not been out of the house for a long time, she was relieved for Yuhua, and asked about the glass this time.

In order to make her happy, Liuli blew nonsense, and told her what she saw and heard at the lantern festival when she was a child, which made her laugh. After laughing, the old lady said again: "No, laughing makes my stomach hurt." As he spoke, he stroked his hand to his abdomen. Liuli noticed that her gastrointestinal problems were denser than before recently, and secretly worried about it, but she was still smiling on her face, and gently massaged her.

The old lady sighed and said, "I'm afraid I don't have much." ”

Liuli was taken aback, the old man said these words were ominous, so he said softly: "Why did the old lady say this, the nine girls are still waiting for you to protect it!" ”

The old lady closed her eyes and didn't say anything for a long time, and then finally said, "You can work harder and help me drag it out for another year and a half." ”

Liuli was silent and grabbed her hand.

If Liuli didn't care so much about the old lady's body before, since the time she protected her in front of Yu's face at the banquet of the Three Dynasties, she deeply felt that this old lady who looked powerless could really help her, and her illness has since become her heart disease, and Fang Cai's sentence can be said to have directly stabbed her heart.

When the old lady took a nap, Huanhua came over, and Liuli sat with her under the south window to drink tea and eat snacks. Looking at the leaves that began to wither outside the window, she said, "I don't know if the White Horse Temple is far from here?" ”

Huanhua said: "What do you want to do?" ”

She sighed and said, "I want to find Master Yongxin to treat the old lady." Last time, the old lady was so sick, and he rescued her, he should have done it. If the curfew wasn't so strict, she wouldn't have had to follow those rules, and maybe she'd gone to him herself, even though Yongxin had said they might not see each other again.

Huanhua sat up straight: "Is the old lady very sick?" ”

Ruri nodded and didn't speak. Huanhua was silent for a long time and said, "This is really bad news. He raised his head again: "It seems that many people have been sick recently, not only the old lady, but also the fourth sister." From August 15 to now, she hasn't even gone to school, and when I went to the second room, the second aunt had a very bad face and didn't let me see her. I'm wondering, is it really that serious for my daughter's family to come to that? Her face turned red.

Liuli had this experience, but she couldn't say it, so she had to cough and avoid the conversation.

I thought that Shuhua's "illness" would get better in a few days, but I didn't know that this delay had come in September and I hadn't seen it yet. The old lady couldn't help but be concerned about this matter, and even asked Liang a few times, but Liang was hesitant. On this day, Wu Yinzhong came to check the pulse, and the old lady was about to ask him to go to the second room to show Shuhua, but Qian Changsheng suddenly came in with a solemn face.

"Old lady, I know that someone from Lord Song's mansion has come up."

When the old lady heard that it was the Song Mansion, she hurriedly waved Wu Yinzhong away and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Qian Changsheng paused, and then said, "I'm going to come to our house to make an appointment." ”

The old lady said, "Propose? Did they not repent of the covenant? Even the apology gift has been sent over for many days, how can I propose it again? ”

Qian Changsheng said: "This time I am not mentioning the fifth girl, but the fourth girl." ”

"Four girls!" The old lady lost her voice, "The fourth girl has never had contact with their family, how can she mention her?" ”

Qian Changsheng said: "When the full moon banquet was held in the second room last time, the fourth girl had several contacts with Mrs. Song, and it was Mrs. Song who fell in love with that time. ”

The old lady was silent for a moment, and then suddenly said, "Quickly invite someone in." Go and invite the second lady to me as soon as possible! ”

When Liuli heard that someone from the Song Mansion was coming, she originally thought that she was proposing marriage to Yanhua, but now when she heard that it was the fourth girl, she was like being filled with paste, and she was a little confused.

Just thinking about it, Liang was invited over, thinking that he had heard about the Song Mansion's proposal on the road, and his face was also very flustered. When the old lady saw her, she frowned and said, "You know that the four girls are preparing to enter the palace, but now the Song Mansion has come to ask for marriage again, you can tell me how to do it!" ”

Although he has not yet been elected, and it is not a violation of the royal law to make a marriage contract, but the Liang family is bent on the way to the palace, and he knows that the Song Mansion cannot be offended. Hurriedly said: "The old lady is angry, today is just the day to ask for a proposal, so I can refuse politely......"

"You say it nicely, politely refuse!" The old lady raised her crutches and said, "This Song Mansion is now a hot figure in the court, and others can't ask for it, can you refuse it politely?" I said that Mrs. Song is obviously very satisfied with the five girls, and this marriage is almost decided, how can I regret the contract halfway, it turns out that you inserted a lever from it! Now it's good that you've come to me again and say 'refuse'! ”

Liang was reprimanded, where did he dare to squeak, and it happened that Qian Changsheng also invited the people from the Song Mansion, so he had to fight hard to meet him.

Liuli looked at Liang's anxious appearance, it really didn't seem like she was secretly planning, thinking of Shuhua being so strange recently, suddenly flashed in front of her what Shuhua said to her when she woke up from a nightmare that night, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat at the moment,—— this very assertive fourth girl, isn't it because she doesn't want to enter the palace, so she privately found her husband's house for herself?!

If so, then Shuhua is also bold!

The one who came to propose the date was the housekeeper lady of the Song Mansion, as well as the old acquaintance that Song Bi and Old Lady He shared when they were serving in Jiangnan, and the wife of the now retired Governor Chen Shang. Seeing the old lady, Mrs. Chen saluted and said, "Congratulations to the old lady, congratulations to the old lady!" I haven't seen you for many years, and I will bring you good news when I see it, and I wish you a happy old man every year! ”

This Mrs. Chen is in her fifties, her mouth is very clever, and she is a well-known and sociable figure in the circle of official wives, and now she has become the matchmaker of this family affair. The old lady also smiled: "I actually asked you to be a matchmaker, this is the right invitation." ”

The housekeeper of the Song Mansion is also surnamed Song, and Song Niangzi smiled and said: "What the old lady said is that our lady has seen the four girls since the last time, and she loves the girl's character deeply, and she can't let go of it day and night, thinking that the third young master of the house is at the age of marriage, so she wants to make this Qin and Jin good relationship with your mansion, so she invited Mrs. Chen to come to the door together, and ask the old lady to reward an auspicious day, so that our master can propose marriage for the third young master." ”

The old lady waited for Biyun Qingshang to put on the tea fruit, and then said with a smile: "Lord Counselor was also a colleague of our old lady back then, and we also deeply admire the behavior of Lord Song and his wife, plus the doctor is now in the imperial court, it is an honor for the four girls to marry your mansion." ”

Song Niangzi hurriedly said: "The old lady is too awarded." ”

The old lady invited the other party for tea, and after a while, she said with a little apology: "It's just that our four girls are thirteen years old and are going to school under Mr. Guo, so the government has not begun to consider her marriage. ”rs
