Chapter 208: Concubines
In Shui Xuan, Zhuo Zhaojie asked Ning Shaobi in surprise: "Since the Sacred Heart now belongs to the King of Zhending, and he will not be abandoned for trivial matters, why do you still have to be restrained in doing things?" ”
"The Sacred Heart belongs to Tang Si, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not belong to Tang Si!" Ning Shaobi smiled and said, "Now that the saint is here, Ma Zheshu is killed by someone, that is an ordinary murder, or it is done cleanly, and the 'sex' is an accident." But after the crown prince ascends the throne in the future, no matter who did it, even if it is really an accident, this matter will only be made by the king of Zhendingjun. ”
He said slowly, "The prince who His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wholeheartedly supports is Tang San, even if Tang Si is also the prince's own son, and even the son-in-law, but His Royal Highness the Prince's most beloved son is not him, now Tang Si has to do it, it is not the most important thing to prove to the saint and the queen that he is capable enough to be the emperor's grandson, because the saint has always attached importance to the opinions of the queen and my grandmother, and now the queen and my grandmother are on Tang Si's side, as long as he does not make a big mistake, even if he wantonly suppresses Tang San, as long as he does something to cover up, Even the crown prince could not shake his position. ”
"The problem is, this doesn't mean that Tang Si can really do this, because he is only the emperor's grandson now, not the prince, and the throne must pass through the crown prince before it can be passed on." Ning Shaobi exhaled and said softly, "This is why we have to be cautious in our words and deeds now." ”
Zhuo Zhaojie changed color slightly: "That hemp fold is not killed!" "Although she hated Ma Zhi Shu and was narrow-minded, she only listened to Chen Luojia's one-sided words and planned such a vicious revenge, involving the Lin family, the Bai family, the You family and even the Zhuo family.
"Must be killed." Ning Shaobi shook her head and said calmly, "The prince loves Lu Ji too much, in order to be able to let Tang San inherit the throne, he can even give up Tang Si, now these people are not removed, will they let him step on our heads in the future?" Especially this numbness and sparse 'mind' narrow-mindedness is so narrow - when this person entered Huaixing Academy, because he was a son of a businessman, he was despised by his classmates, at that time, Lin Hewang and Song Weiyi loved his talent, and they helped him out of the siege and promoted him several times, not to mention that Song Weiyi's marriage with the You family was an accident under the 'yin' mistake, even if Lin Hewang was biased towards Song Weiyi in this matter, he didn't think about his 'friendship' for many years, such a person, since there are gaps, how can he stay? ”
Zhuo Zhaojie was stunned for a moment and said, "But ......"
"Since I have seen through this matter, I naturally have a countermeasure." Ning Shaobi said softly, "It's just that it's not good to tell you now, in short, you don't have to worry, you see, the so-called wine bead case, the so-called breaking of the marriage contract between Ou Xianniang and Chen Zirui, which one is not in my calculation?" ”
Although what he said was reasonable, thinking that the prince was determined to support the king of Yanchang County, and now that the saint and the queen were older, Zhuo Zhaojie still couldn't rest assured, but Ning Shaobi obviously didn't want to tell himself anything now, and Zhuo Zhaojie didn't want to brush him off, so he smiled reluctantly: "I believe in you." ”
After a pause, Zhuo Zhaojie couldn't help but ask, "But what about Shi Wu now?" ”
Ning Shaobi snorted and said strangely: "What's wrong with Shi Wu?" ”
"He's going to marry Mu San Niangzi now, right?" Zhuo Zhaojie said in a low voice, "What about Ou Xianniang?" In the end, it was also from the Marquis of Dunyuan, could he go to Shi Wu as a concubine? ”
Ning Shaobi smiled when she heard this: "Although Ou Xianniang has some means, it is far worse than Mu Sanniang, not to mention that she is a concubine, but there is no aunt who is the princess to help make the matter to the queen and make a final decision, so she will definitely not be able to compete for the position of the wife, how to say that she is also the little lady of the Hou Mansion, if she is a side concubine, it is okay, a concubine...... How can it be? Unless Dunyuan Hou is dead. ”
Zhuo Zhaojie saw that he was still relaxed, and couldn't help but pull his sleeve hard, and said angrily: "People are serious with you!" In this case, how can Ou Xianniang still be willing to help Shi Wu? What if she regrets it and denounces you? ”
"What's the whistleblower of her?" Ning Shaobi disagreed, and said, "Shi Wu told her that the two families have different political views, so it's better not to get along, so she went to find a way to find a way to do it herself, and Shi Wu gave her a hint at most in the middle, if there is no evidence, what can she expose?" Besides, if this matter spreads, it would be good if her sister and brother didn't take the opportunity to expel their mother and son from the house, and Ou Xianniang was more stupid in front of Shi Wu. ”
“…… Is that all there is to it? Zhuo Zhaojie asked in disbelief, "How can you say that she also quit the marriage for Shi Wu?" ”
Ning Shaobi snorted slightly, and said: "Among the little ladies provoked by Shi Wu, she is very innocent with this Ou Xianniang, if the little ladies he provoked will marry back, even if these little ladies are willing to be concubines, the Shixiang Mansion and the Huarong Eldest Princess Mansion are not enough." And in addition to saying some sweet words to Ou Xianniang, he didn't take Ou Xianniang seriously, can Ou Qianniang still rely on him? ”
After thinking about it, Ning Shaobi said lightly, "This matter will be dealt with by the fifth meeting, it has not been a day or two since he provoked the little lady, except for the previous loss of a people's 'girl', when will the little lady be willing to seek his revenge?" Ou Xianniang wants to care, most of them are also with Mu Sanniang, anyway, Mu Sanniang's means are powerful, Ou Xianniang can't help her. ”
"......" Zhuo Zhaojie secretly spat out a mouthful of blood, "Shi Wu disposed of it, should it be to push Mu Sanniang out?" ”
Ning Shaobi said: "Well, he will probably say a few words to that Ou Xianniang, such as having no part in this life and being a husband and wife in the next life." ”
"Ou Xianniang will forget about it?" Zhuo Zhaojie thought this was incredible.
Ning Shaobi said indifferently: "It depends on who says it, Shi Wu will say it, so naturally forget it." ”
Zhuo Zhaojie took a deep breath, solemnly grabbed his sleeve, and said, "You...... You'd better not learn from him! ”
"I can't learn if I want to." Ning Shaobi smiled slightly, took her hand, and said, "The only person I ask for is now destined and shared, what does it have to do with me no matter how many others in this world?" ”
Zhuo Zhaojie's smile suddenly opened when he heard this, like a clear lotus blooming, and the layers of rhyme bloomed, and Man Xuan was bright!
Ning Shaobi stayed until the sun set before reluctantly saying goodbye, Zhuo Zhaojie returned to Nianci Hall with a smile, but saw You Shi take a post, talking to Aunt Mao, saw her come in, and said with a slight smile: "You came just in time, take a look at this post." ”
Zhuo Zhaojie was in a good mood, and asked with a smile: "But which family has a birthday?" I couldn't help but be stunned when I took it, but it was sent by the Lin family in Lanlingfang, and the official reason for mentioning it was to thank Duan Chenguang for helping Lin Hewang to seek medical treatment in the fourth room, but this "formal reason" was inadvertently mentioned - Lin Hewang wanted to take a concubine.
"Isn't Bai Ziqian already in Chang'an now? Why does the Lin family still have to take concubines? Zhuo Zhaojie unbelievably returned the post to Aunt Mao.
Hearing this, You's and Aunt Mao both laughed, and Aunt Mao said: "What Qi Niang said, we don't prohibit men from taking concubines, as long as you tell your parents and get the consent of your wife, you can carry people into the 'door', where is there a place for your mother's family to speak?" Mrs. Bai's 'sex', can she say a word? ”
Zhuo Zhaojie's face turned slightly red, and he said angrily: "Auntie! I think, Mrs. Zhang is not afraid of offending the Bai family by doing this? ”
"The idea of taking a concubine was proposed by Bai Ziqian." You Shi's faint words made Zhuo Zhaojie even more surprised: "How could he bring this up?" ”
You said: "It's not strange, Bai Zihua's 'sex', her mother's family will not know?" In the past, when Lin Hewang was a good child, relying on her husband's love, Mrs. Zhang was not a very picky mother-in-law, and she could get by, but now Lin Hewang has to rely on Mrs. Zhang's support, but she can't afford anything at all, how can she gain a foothold in her husband's family? The Bai family took the initiative to take a concubine, and it seems that the Bai family is tolerant and considerate, thinking about this, Mrs. Zhang may be a little more tolerant of Bai Zihua, after all, now the Lin family already wants to directly change a daughter-in-law 'wife', taking a step back like this is a better ending for both parties, who told Bai Zihua not to be angry? ”
Zhuo Zhaojie sighed: "Is this concubine among the 'jade' Yan and Yinyan?" ”
"It's not, the person who sent the post just now said that it was introduced by Bai Ziqian, it was a 'girl' who grew up in a book outside Moling City, surnamed Fan, this scholar was a dead reader, because he didn't produce, he lost a few acres of thin fields handed down by his ancestors, and then he was poor, his wife got sick in her early years and had no money for treatment, so she left with her hands, and there was a 'woman' and a son under her knees, and she was born with dementia, and now she is thirteen years old, but she has to help her with clothes and food." You Shi snorted, "It's really difficult to find such a person for the Bai family." ”
Mao Gu saw that Zhuo Zhaojie seemed puzzled, and explained on the side: "That scholar is now old, and it is unknown how long he can live, but although this Fan family Xiaolangjun is demented, his body is very strong, because of the early death of his biological mother, and his father is a sour Confucian who can't resist his shoulders and can't lift his hands, this Fan family started a family at a young age, serving his father and taking care of his younger brother, although he had to break the house and have a small property, but she was well organized, and he was well-known for his ability and filial piety and friendship in several villages near the local area. Because of such a family background, and reluctant to father and younger brother, has not been able to get out of the cabinet, and now she is eighteen years old, and she has never been able to say that she is a family, and now the Fu family recognizes her as a god'daughter', and promises to settle her father and younger brother, and will find a good 'girl' to match her demented brother in the future, so as to continue the incense of the Fan family...... sent her to Chang'an to be a concubine for Lin Hewang, Qi Niang thought, this Fan family is capable, and can 'operate' the backyard instead of Mrs. Bai, but her background is not high, and she cannot threaten Mrs. Bai's status, the most important thing is that her father and brother are in the hands of the Bai family, where does she dare to disrespect Mrs. Bai? Even if Lin Hewang has another favored 'servant' concubine in the future, the Fan family will inevitably protect Mrs. Bai and report to the Bai family. ”
Zhuo Zhaojie sighed: "Aunt Fu is really worried about Sister Bai. ”
As You said, this Fan is an excellent candidate, but how rare is such a candidate? It must be capable and easy to control, and it must have a bit of posture so as not to be looked down upon by the Lin family - I don't know how long the Fu family has been looking for before they find someone!
She then asked, "So this so-called banquet to reward my mother is actually for concubines?" Mother goes? ”
You said: "It's all perfunctory before, and this time Mrs. Zhang sent the post over for the sake of the fruitless discussion last time - this time and that time, the matter she mentioned last time is obviously going to be invalidated now, where can I not go?" ”
After talking about the Lin family, You's mind returned to his 'daughter', "Why did you keep that kid for so long?" What did they say? ”
As soon as she asked, Zhuo Zhaojie suddenly remembered what was going on, and hurriedly said, "There is something I was about to tell my mother......
