"Let's talk," Luo Qingrong put down the fishing rod in her hand, the late spring afternoon was full of thick sleep, she got up and had nothing to do, and she was lazy to embroider again, so she took the fishing rod and went to the creek behind the courtyard to fish.
"Madame plans to open a rouge shop with Aunt Han," Shi Lu said softly.
Since she talked to Zhang Lan that time, I think Zhang Lan also understands that she can only accept the facts, but she has not made trouble with her father anymore, and she has a non-caring attitude towards Aunt Jin, and she has completely exempted the two aunts from asking for peace in Shuiju, and she has also put away her previous careless attitude towards Mrs. Luo.
Thinking about it, I was ashamed of Zhang Lan, Luo Yuanpeng didn't go to her more because Aunt Jin was pregnant, it was almost extinct in the Streamer Pavilion, and Aunt Jin, who was pregnant but fell out of favor, was also very safe, and only carefully took care of the child in her womb, as smart as her, she naturally understood how hard-won this child was, if she lost it, it was just a bowl of soup.
This Zhang Lan really didn't change, and it was only a long time before she couldn't hold back anymore and got back and forth with Han Yinyun.
"I heard Jin Feng say that Madame is asking Han Yinyun about the affairs of the various prefectures in Beijing," Shi Lu couldn't understand what his wife thought, and the good Aunt Lan didn't ask for advice, so she went to Han Yinyun.
Let her go, Luo Qingrong shook his head, and focused his attention on the fishing line, there is a way that the country is easy to change, and the nature is difficult to change, she has said everything she should say, if Zhang Lan insists on falling willingly, there will be a day when she regrets it, and the father who has made great achievements in war has such an unobtrusive wife, which is not a bad thing, Luo Qingrong laughed at himself, this is much better than Zhang Lan's idea of "asking for land and asking for help" to settle the emperor's heart.
"Did you drink today's medicine?" Luo Yuanpeng came out of the clean room, saw Zhang Lan who was already lying down, and asked casually.
"Eat," Zhang Lan said strongly, she didn't know what she was for, she still lived with such a man, and in the Feixu Pavilion Streamer Pavilion not far from herself, there were his women, as well as herself, who was also one of these many women, "Today, the imperial doctor gave a few more pairs." ”
"How do you feel?" Luo Yuanpeng said and took his wife in his arms and started to untie her clothes, "I don't know if I can get pregnant this month~"
Zhang Lan felt bitter in her heart, but she was powerless to push her husband away, since when did her love with Luo Yuanpeng turn into a disgusting and painful thing that made her sick, this matter is no longer caused by love, sweet and beautiful, but with a strong purpose - for the sake of the heir, Zhang Lan sometimes wonders, if the imperial doctor says that she can't have children, will Luo Yuanpeng touch herself again?
But no matter how sad she is, she doesn't even have the qualifications to refuse, because she still has to give birth to his sister-in-law, and she has seen clearly these days that a woman without children is like a house without a foundation, which can collapse at any time. And what made her understand this turned out to be a ten-year-old girl, Zhang Lan laughed silently, now she doesn't care what Luo Qingrong's origin is, because whether they are from the same place or not, they are not all the way, and these days, although Luo Qingrong is very distant from her, she is not hostile, and even when she is at her lowest, it is Luo Qingrong who comes to relieve her.
"Lan'er, what's wrong with you? Unhappy or where is it uncomfortable? Luo Yuanpeng felt that his wife's interest was not high, so he couldn't help but stop his movements, and gently kneaded the softness of Zhang Lan's left breast.
"It's okay," life is like rape, since you can't resist, it's better to enjoy, Zhang Lanyan smiled, turned over and rode on Luo Yuanpeng, "Let me come~"
Whether emotionally or for survival, she can't do without this man, fortunately, it is not difficult to make him happy, and she also needs more reliance to live better.
Mrs. Luo carefully looked at the two granddaughters in front of her, Luo Qingrong is already thirteen years old, today she wears a gray squirrel gown with silver and green plates and gold two-color entwined flowers, and only a jade hairpin and a gold chisel flower inlaid with tourmaline beads are inserted in the meniscus bun, and the soft sea covers half of her forehead, and the black pupils are like gouache lips like cherry blossoms, like a pretty narcissus in the cold winter, Qi Shi's heart admired, quite a little bit of the joy of my family having a girl growing up, "Today is a big day for the good king to catch the wind, you must bring a good sister, and say hello to the queen mother for me~"
"Yes," two years have passed in the blink of an eye, although my grandmother's body has not improved much, she has survived, which makes Luo Qingrong happy, "Qingrong will take care of her sister." ”
"You take the two girls out of the house, and you have to go through some care in everything, this time it's not as usual, I'm afraid that the ladies and ladies of all the provinces will go, and you also know the temper of those girls and ladies," in the end, Mrs. Luo couldn't help but ask Zhang Lan again.
"Mother, don't worry, I took Mother Qin and Aunt Lan with me, Aunt Lan is an old man in the palace, with her, there should be no problem," Zhang Lan reported her arrangements to her mother-in-law, "Brother Yang will trouble my mother." ”
First of all, Aunt Jin lived up to expectations and gave birth to her second son Luo Xuning, and Zhang Lan finally gave birth to her sister-in-law Luo Xuyang a year ago, which can be regarded as sitting firmly in the position of Mrs. Hou.
"You just have to rest assured, there are nurses and girls watching, what trouble, and Brother Yang has been sensible since he was a child, and I am also happy to look at this baby," Although she doesn't like Zhang Lan, Mrs. Luo still likes her grandson Luo Xuyang very much, and from time to time asks Zhang Lan to take the child to Qingtai Courtyard to show her.
Mrs. Luo's love for Luo Xuyang Zhang Lan also saw it in her eyes, and she knew that although the Luo family looked at their heirs and did not treat them harshly, they were different from their concubines, and their own son was the youngest, but he was significantly higher than Luo Xuning, who was one year older, in terms of treatment.
In the past two years, Zhang Lan has no mood when she first married Luo Yuanpeng, since she has accepted Aunt Jin's pregnancy and childbirth, Luo Yuanpeng only has her as a woman, and it has become an empty word, when she was pregnant, Su's mother and the eldest wife of the Luo family in Iron Lane Yang also reminded her that she should find a girl who can handle it and put her face in the room, but Zhang Lan can't do it for her husband to send a woman after all, as for Aunt Jin, she is virtuous and tight, and she has already put two girls in the room.
What about being angry? Zhang Lan felt that she was numb, she only felt that she was so stupid before, stupid to expect a man with a group of wives and concubines to give up the entire forest for herself, and now she also saw it, as long as she couldn't see it, it would be regarded as if it didn't happen, fortunately, Luo Yuanpeng was not a ruthless person, the more he didn't say it, the more he felt sorry for himself, and rarely stopped in the Streamer Pavilion, sometimes Zhang Lan was thinking, that's it, anyway, he couldn't go back, since he was a person in Yong'an, he had to follow the customs.
And Zhang Lan's business is not as successful as imagined, the dim sum shop has changed places, and the rouge shop is barely making ends meet, Zhang Lan has been here for a long time to know that her own idea of beauty knowledge, how poor she is in front of these women who have nothing to do all day to figure out how to be more beautiful, the light business made Zhang Lan gradually lose her previous fighting spirit, especially after giving birth to her son, her attention was on her son, and the business affairs were also handed over to Su's mother and Xiao to take care of.
There is no outside "career", Zhang Lan also from time to time to make an appointment to walk around the mansions, after a long time, she also saw the doorway, it turned out that the noble lady did not want to eat as she imagined, dress well, and have elegant manners, just this "food, clothing, housing and transportation" is a university question, the emphasis inside makes her, a teacher who grew up in a working family, breathtaking, and she hopes to take the opportunity to play the "famous" poems, in the palace Huayang County Lord Luo Ayanjin has written amazing masterpieces in various poetry meetings, Zhang Lan didn't dare to take it out again, if it crashed, I am afraid that people would be more willing to believe that she had plagiarized someone else's masterpiece.
And the relationship between her and Luo Qingrong has been a real "gentleman's friend" in the past two years, and the previous conversation gave them a tacit understanding that did not need to be spoken, and it was also the previous conversation that made Zhang Lan a little reluctant to face this seemingly calm and indifferent, but actually fine stepdaughter.
The importance of going to the palace for a banquet this time Luo Yuanpeng and the Qi family both specially explained to her, thinking of Concubine Dai Shu's intentions, Zhang Lan couldn't help but look at Luo Qingrong, who still had a calm face.
Concubine Dai Shufei chose a concubine for the eldest son of the emperor, this is a major event in Beijing, the emperor has already run to the fourth person, and none of the nobles wants to serve a man who can be a grandfather, and the sixteen-year-old good king Liang Yuanshen has become a sweet and sweet in the eyes of the mother-in-law in the capital.
"It seems that everyone who can come is here," Zhang Lan glanced at the carriages of the various families at the palace gate, and said softly to Luo, "What are your plans?" With Luo Sujuan by her side in the car, Zhang Lan has never been able to find a chance to talk to Luo Qingrong, if Luo Qingrong is interested in this good princess, she will fully support it.
"Let's just watch the play with peace of mind, what does the mother's choice of daughter-in-law have to do with the Luo family?" In the past two years, Luo Qingrong and Zhang Lan have not intersected much, but with that conversation, the two of them were more tacitly direct when they spoke again, "The princess is not so easy to do." ”
"Really?" Zhang Lan was full of surprise, she was impressed by this daughter again, didn't she even look down on the princess? Do you really regard fame as dung? "But the girls from other families are all flocking to it, and it's not far from coming to that good king~"
"My daughter is still young, what did my mother tell me?" Luo Qingrong tilted his head to the side and stroked the silver fox collar under Luo Sujuan's hand, "Is it cold?" ”
"It's not cold," Luo Sujuan was limited by her identity, and it was the first time she had entered the palace when she was ten years old, and when she came, Aunt Jin had already heard her face and order, asking her to follow Luo Qingrong honestly, not to run around, and not to show any limelight, but such a scene still made her face flush with excitement, "Sister, let's go in quickly." ”
Today is really the family of girls of the right age in the capital is here, Luo Qingrong smiled helplessly, this Concubine Dai is too careless to do things, and she really doesn't hide it at all.
"Sister Rong," Ji Shenyu was looking for Luo Qingrong after getting out of the car, "It's good that you're here, I'm really afraid that I'm bored and can't find someone to talk to." ”
"Mrs. Luo is also here," Mrs. Ji smiled helplessly and greeted Zhang Lan, "This daughter of mine is the most unruly, and it is a joke to come," the Ji family has no idea of marrying the royal family, and now the two princes are one and the other, and one is virtuous and favored, so it is better to stay away at this juncture.
