Chapter 131: The Great Lady
The emperor showed obvious favoritism for the king of Zhending on the prince's birthday, and even the emperor's favor of the king of Zhending was even greater than that of the prince, and the uproar caused by this incident in Chang'an was unimaginable by Zhuo Zhaojie, who was not sensitive to political affairs before.
Not only did Zhuo Fangli and You's attitude towards the 'door' marriage of the Yongcheng Hou Mansion change dramatically in an instant, but the entire Zhuo Mansion was in a state of rumors, and the eldest lady had several half-hearted attacks in a row, taking advantage of the panic of the masters up and down, and the subordinates who stole the property, and ordered those people and their families to be driven out of the Hou Mansion, and even broke several people's 'legs' in the middle, and rewarded the servants who worked hard, so grace and power were combined, so the scene was calmed down, and the four rooms came to discuss with the You family - not to mention that the Shen family was still in the other courtyard and did not come back, Even if she comes back, she can't really take any good ideas other than the fifth room, and besides, the idea she came up with, where can she dare to use the big room and the fourth room?
At this time, only the big room and the fourth room got together, and the eldest lady's face was ugly, but there was no panicked 'color' in her demeanor, and said: "In fact, this time the saint and the queen have expressed their attitude, at least the saint is still there, in the end, we have to remember my father's work in the past, at most, it is just to let my father give office, and in the end our family still has a title." ”
After a pause, the eldest lady said in a deep voice, "If it's really here...... King of Zhending...... At that time, there was no saint to protect our family! ”
You sighed and said: "Despite this, the prince is the beloved son of the saint and the queen, and the king of Yanchang County is the prince who loves him...... It's worrying, in this case, our family is not optimistic. ”
"That's what you said." The eldest lady nodded and said, "But my father helped the king of Yanchang County, but he didn't do anything rebellious, and the king of Zhending County is the grandson of the emperor, not the grandson of the emperor, is it a sin not to get close to him?" Even if the saint wants to weaken our family and the Ou family in order to really determine the king of the county, and fabricate accusations, it will not reach the point of being beheaded by the full 'door', I guess that the worst result is just exile, we are at this age anyway, and it is nothing to really die on the road, but the poor are still the children. ”
Speaking of this, You's tears almost fell again: "If I had known that there was today, I should have agreed to Qi Niang earlier, even if the Yongcheng Hou Mansion just 'handed over' a token, I would ...... today."
"It's not too late." The eldest lady's only biological bone 'flesh' Zhuo Zhao 'Yan' has been out of the cabinet, and although the concubine 'daughter' who is now called her mother in the big room is also distressed, but in comparison, she is going to breathe a sigh of relief, so she is still very calm at the moment, "The Hou Shizi of Yongcheng is still very concerned about Qi Niang, I heard that since Qi Niang returned to Chang'an, the prince of the world even bought another yard in Tongshan Fang, where we Jingshan Fang and the eldest lady lived, and asked when Qi Niang would come out." 'Gate', go to live in the courtyard one day in advance, in order to get up early the next day and wait outside the 'gate' of the house to meet each other. ”
You Shi said gloomily: "But now the situation is so ......"
"This prince has always been favored by the eldest princess of Jiyang, and he has always been arrogant and accustomed to 'sex', and the eldest princess depends on him for everything - since the saint and the queen have chosen the king of Zhending, of course, they don't want to see the king of Yanchang have enough power to compete with the king of Zhending, and it is not our family who stands on the side of the king of Yanchang, then again, now at this time, I won't say anything about the scene, our family can have the appearance of today, all thanks to the support of my father, but the children and grandchildren are not sensitive. Among the Ou family, it is our family that has the least influence! The eldest lady said calmly, "The saint and the queen are not trying to 'force' the king of Yanchang County to death, there is no need to beat the three families. ”
"Sister-in-law, what do you have in mind?" You knew that the eldest lady was the eldest daughter-in-law of the mound 'woman' personally selected by her mother-in-law, Liang, and she was also the niece 'daughter' of Concubine Zhou - don't look at the prince of Qin Wang who was beaten by the prince of Yongcheng, the concubine could only run to the queen and cry, this is because the saint and the eldest princess of Jiyang are siblings, so naturally there is no one who does not protect her sister.
When the first emperor, this concubine was proud of the 'spring' wind from entering the palace to the death of the first emperor, and she had never lost favor, if it weren't for the first emperor's serious illness, most of the people sitting on the throne now would be the king of Qin.
Before the eldest lady left the cabinet, Concubine Zhou was already a concubine, although the eldest lady was not Concubine Zhou's niece and nephew, but she often walked around in front of Concubine Zhou.
At this moment, the You family heard that the eldest lady had a plan here, which was related to the Zhuo family's wealth, wealth and even safety, so naturally there was no eagerness.
The eldest lady patted her hand gently, a trace of 'color' flashed in her eyes, and said, "Taifu is also old, the heirs of the Gu family are thin, and he is the Yue family of Hachiro...... What is the relationship between the Ou family and our family? Moreover, the Ou family is still the father-in-law of the king of Yanchang County, and the descendants are prosperous, and the Duchess of Qiguo is also from the Ou family! ”
You Shi took a deep breath and said, "If that's the case...... That's good to go! But this is not something we can say. ”
After a pause, You hesitated and said, "What sister-in-law means, is that Ning Shaobi ...... Qi Niang."
"If this is the little lady of someone else's family, I will naturally persuade the little lady to find Ning Shaobi and beg." The eldest lady glanced at You's and said calmly, "But the children of our family, especially Qi Niang, I can't hurt her!" She can't open this mouth! ”
The eldest lady said in a deep voice, "Originally, there was no accident in our family, the lintel of the 'door' was lower than the background of Ning Shaobi, and Qi Niang's 'door' begged him before he passed, and what kind of face did Qi Niang have after passing the 'door'?" Now that the situation in our family is critical, if we go to him again, Qi Niang will be even more decent! This shelf must be served to Qi Niang! Don't lose it until the last moment! ”
You understood what the eldest lady meant, and said with a wry smile: "But what should I do?" ”
"I've got some eyebrows, but now I need your help." The eldest lady squinted her eyes and said, "Although the saint and the queen are old, but the prince is in the prime of life, and the succession of the emperors and grandchildren is still far away, even if all three families are defeated now, in the future, the prince is really determined to support the succession of the king of Yanchang County, without the Zhuo family, the Gu family, and the Ou family, can't there be the Zhang family, the Wang family, and the Qian family?" What's more, now that the two emperors and grandsons have no deep grudges, this killing of the 'chicken' is an example of the monkey, and it is almost the same to kill one! ”
She looked at You's, "Zhao 'Yan' has already been out of the cabinet, it is said that I don't have anyone in this family who can't be relieved, but after 'manipulation' for decades, it will always be impossible for me to look like this, this time there is a bit of a risk, you think about whether to do it or not, and then make a decision - but no matter what, don't spread it!" Out of this 'door', I will not admit anything I have said when I come here today. ”
"Is it only our 'woman' Taoist family to discuss?" You Shi's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, he hesitated, and said in a low voice, "Is it ...... Say hello to your father? What a big deal! ”
The eldest lady glanced at her and shook her head solemnly: "Father will not agree." She explained, "The saint is old, the prince is in the prime of life, it is difficult to say what the future will be, the father may not die, of course, the father is also thoughtful, the future ...... The prince always loves the king of Yanchang County more, who can know what will happen in the future? My father 'spent' a lot of effort on the king of Yanchang County, how could he give it up like this? So this time, my father would rather be suppressed by the emperor and protect the king of Yanchang County, the question is...... If the king of Zhending County really takes advantage of this to become a trend, our family's grievances will be in vain! ”
The voice was low, "Father...... Isn't it getting old? The two of us are daughters-in-law, I dare to say this, you can't mention it at the fourth brother - our husband has no real job, one is the lack of talent, the other is the ability is not obvious, the father is afraid of seeking a position to be released, once he is framed by the people of the king of Zhending County, it will cause trouble to the king of Yanchang County, so he has been detaining people in Chang'an...... I'm not complaining about my father, but Chang'an is full of talents, and our husband is ...... Even in front of the prince and the king of Yanchang County, they are just familiar, if you want to talk about reuse, it is far from it, in addition to my father, the most important thing in our family is the king of Yanchang County is Hachiro, but how young is Hachiro? ”
"Do you think, in case father ...... The so-called people go to tea and cool, Hachiro has no one to support, there is Chen Zirui by the side of the king of Yanchang County, and the Ou family is the foreign family of the king of the county, where is Hachiro going to be arranged? The eldest lady sighed, "So, not only did I tell my father that I wouldn't be agreed, but I couldn't let my father know about this matter at all!" She looked at You's family, "In fact, the situation of the Gu family is similar to ours, if the old one goes, the small situation will be much worse, unlike the Ou family, how can I say that there is also a Duchess of Qiguo and a princess of Yanchang County!" ”
You's eyesight in the political situation has always been inferior to that of the eldest lady, so she asked blankly at this moment: "What does the sister-in-law mean, is it to push the Ou family out?" I naturally agree, the Zuo Ou family is not an important family for us, but what should we do about this matter? ”
"If the king of Yanchang County inherits the unification in the future, the Ou family will be the descendant, since they will get the greatest benefit, now there is no reason not to pay the most, I speculate that the saint should start from the Ou family, otherwise when the saint is there, the king of Yanchang will not be able to give up, I am afraid that the saint will move the Ou family, and I am not at ease with our family!" The eldest lady squinted, and suddenly changed her words, and said: "Now that the climate is getting warmer, it seems that summer is about to begin, and Qi Niang has only traveled from Jiangnan to Chang'an, and it is inevitable that the climate will not be satisfied, and there will be cases of accidental illness for a day or two." ”
She changed the topic so quickly that You couldn't help but be stunned, but then she understood, and said solemnly: "I know, thank you sister-in-law for your advice!" ”
With the words of the eldest lady, Zhuo Zhaojie "fell ill" on the couch that night and couldn't get up, and even the visits of several cousins were blocked by Ah Xing, saying that he was afraid of giving them a bad time.
The news then spread out of the Hou Mansion......
Upstairs in Jinghong West, Zhuo Zhaojie wore a red and white lotus 'flower' embroidered on the Qianfei Diyue Luo, tied a 'color' skirt between ultramarine and lotus silk, and was loosely draped with a primrose 'color' cardigan with wide sleeves, lazily lying on the desk eating cherry cheese, although she looked depressed, but her face was ruddy and her eyes were clear, no matter how she looked like she had been sick, she swallowed a mouthful of frozen cheese, and she was not "fine" and teased the dough on the dough - the dough was the name of the lion cat given by Ning Shaobi, This little lion cat's snow-white appearance is very similar to the glutinous rice balls in the flour dough that is often eaten during the Dragon Boat Festival - of course, this one seems to be mentioned by Zhuo 'Yu' mother, and Zhuo Zhaojie was said by his cousin and felt very similar, so he gave this name.
The dough ran around with Zhuo Zhaojie's hand, pounced on it from time to time, playing and playing, suddenly turned his head and ignored Zhuo Zhaojie's hand, but ran to the mat a few times, hooked Zhuo Zhaojie's skirt, and climbed onto her lap, Zhuo Zhaojie reached out and picked it up, barely 'revealed' a trace of smile: "Are you tired of it?" ”
But seeing the dough's claws and feet shaving, whimpering, Zhuo Zhaojie sighed, and called Ah Li: "Xu is hungry, take it down to eat something." ”
So that the 'women' knew that Zhuo Zhaojie was in a very bad mood for the past two days, and they didn't dare to say much, Ah Li gently took the dough and went down quietly.
Zhuo Zhaojie also didn't have the heart to continue to eat cherry jelly, but held his cheeks coyly, looked out the window, and thought in a daze: The third day...... Hit the return from the palace audience, this is the third day, Jiulang he ...... Is something really going to happen to the Zhuo family?
She bit her 'lip', the eldest lady came to tell her in person, she was very clear about the reason for her "illness", Zhuo Zhaojie's mood at the moment was too complicated to say - when the You family objected to her and Ning Shaobi's relationship, she was extremely angry and asked her if she had taken a fancy to Ning Shaobi's identity, but now she wants to use Ning Yaobi's identity in turn......
Even though the eldest lady solemnly stated that this matter could not harm Ning Shaobi, it was just that Ning Shaobi influenced the eldest princess of Jiyang, but Zhuo Zhaojie no longer understood political affairs, and he felt that he was ignorant...... What is this?
Family & Sweetheart...... Zhuo Zhaojie lowered his arm and buried his head in the crook of his arm: "How good would it be if I was really sick?" ”
In the midst of illness, you don't have to think about it wholeheartedly.
