Chapter 294: Second Watch
Chapter 294
Lin Baozhu didn't bother to pay attention to her, but seeing that she had said it by name, she couldn't dodge herself. [No pop-ups. I don't have to make people think that she is a bully, and she is laughed at in the hearts of others.
"What does the old lady mean is that if the ladies who have shops and make a living in their hands, they should be ridiculed? Or does the old lady not need to have private property, so she can't tolerate so many private properties in the hands of others? But anyone who runs private property is willing to degenerate in the eyes of the old lady? ”
As Lin Baozhu's voice fell, the surrounding people who were still talking about congratulating Lin Baozhu's wife, and their faces changed slightly. After that, the whole scene completely cooled down.
Everyone was not just surprised by Lin Baozhu's sudden attack, but the old lady's words were too far-fetched. Although Lin Baozhu is a merchant girl, she is different from the merchants next to her, she is the emperor, and she holds the hottest industry in Dazhou today. But any shop that can make money, as long as it is not against the law, there is no Zhang Ji who does not interfere, and a few years ago and today, Zhang Ji is licensed to do the same business with the prince of Qi to do the ban on the sea.
Putting aside what that means for the time being, just talking about Zhang Ji's identity as an emperor is not something that ordinary people dare to despise. What's more, at the first birthday banquet of the prince of the Protector's Mansion last year, he personally wrote a plaque of benevolence and benevolence to encourage him.
Now that the old lady is so naked, isn't it a shame on today's face?
And, to be honest, who can gain a foothold in the capital, which lady doesn't have a rich family background under her hands? Which one was not accompanied by a well-run Zhuangzi and a shop when he got married? If the old lady said, wouldn't even the people next to them be involved?
This is also what Lin Baozhu has thought about a long time ago, but it is basically impossible for anyone who can enjoy living in a luxurious place in the capital to rely only on the court's wealth. And most of the Zhuangzi shops in the family are handed over to the wife of the family to take care of, so as soon as Lin Baozhu said it, the old lady of An Guo not only looked down on her, but simply killed a boatload of people with a stick.
Sure enough, before the old lady of An Guo could speak again, she saw two high-status clan wives beside Lin Baozhu open their mouths.
"It is estimated that the old lady has not been out of the house for a long time, and her brain is a little unbright, doesn't the Zhuangzi of the Anguo Mansion also sell melons and fruits everywhere every year? I heard that there were a few times when there were difficulties, and the old lady personally dealt with them, otherwise those Zhuangzi might have been burned by the mob. The woman shook her head, as if kindly reminded, "According to me, the old lady is also old, since she can't look down on business dealings, why bother to manage it?" Just throw it away, let that Zhuangzi fend for himself, and save a handful of years and liver fire. ”
The old lady of An Guo still wanted to reprimand Lin Baozhu coldly, but with the opening of the two clan wives singing and harmonizing, even if she wanted to, she had no chance. Even if she has an edict status, if she compares it with the royal family, it is not enough to see. Especially the so-called once a son of heaven and a courtier, with the opening of the Duke of Protector and the auxiliary general General Fuyuan, the achievements of the Duke of Anguo have gradually faded out of the minds of the world.
What's more, her two grandsons, even with a few close nephews, have not yet entered the court. Although she is confident that her grandson is talented and will be able to go to high school in the next imperial examination, she also knows that if there is no one in the court to take care of it, and she can't do anything shocking, I'm afraid that even if she is in high school, she will only be a small official in a local area at most. If the emperor remembers An Guogong's loyalty, Xu will be named to stay in the capital, but he will never let them enter the center of power too quickly.
Speaking of which, in fact, the old lady of the Anguo Mansion is also very clear in her heart that if she wants her grandson and nephew to be valued by the emperor at a young age like the Duke of Protector, the only way is to go to the battlefield and fight. It's just that she lost her husband when she was young, and later lost her son to the battlefield, even though they have made great achievements, but what is the use? Therefore, she was reluctant and would never dare to take the risk of sending her grandson to the battlefield again. And who doesn't need to stay up for many years to be a civil official? Or just wait for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?
All the ways didn't work, so she had to think of another way. It's like someone else, don't you just hit the idea on the protector now?
An Guogong also left a lot of old ministries back then, and he has been a general for decades, whether it is the love of the robe or the subordinates who were loyal to him at the beginning, it is enough for a military general to be moved.
Left and right, her grandson didn't need those, just used as a bargaining chip to suppress the protector. As long as the protector of the country is moved, recommends to the emperor and the prince, and takes care of it in secret, she will be sure enough to let her grandson stand out in the court.
It was also for this reason that she couldn't sit still, and got the news that the Protectorate Mansion was holding a banquet, and even if she didn't receive the post, she cheekily took her granddaughter shàng mén.
She is old, and she does not know tomorrow after today. But there are still dozens of people in the Anguo Mansion, and she can't watch the Anguo Mansion completely decay. If she can't find a reliable family business that can hold the lintel as soon as possible, I'm afraid that as soon as she closes her eyes, the Anguo Mansion will be defeated.
The old lady suppressed a breath in her heart, and no longer mentioned this stubble, but talked about the drama: "That Cai Bo is also a good blessing, although he has the original match, he can't be on the stage, and later married the noble Xiangfu Xiǎo Jiě, who is also generous and tolerant." In this way, it is no wonder that his career was smooth all the way later, although he was not as powerful as the ministers, but he could also be simple in the emperor's heart, so that people dare not underestimate him. It's just that I don't know how many children the two wives gave him, otherwise it is estimated that another good story will be born. ”
Lin Baozhu had long seen that the old lady was trying to suppress her, and then push her granddaughter out. But it depends on whether she's happy to accept it. So, even though she heard the old lady's words, Lin Baozhu didn't pay attention to it, but talked to others about being pregnant with a smile.
The people on the side are not stupid, who doesn't know the old lady of Anguo and the duchess of Huguo, which one should they please? Even though An Guogong has made great achievements in Sheji, he is a person who has not been there for decades, not to mention that the exploits of the Duke of Protector to kill the King of the Huns are rare in a hundred years, which is greater than the achievements of the Duke of Anguo for several generations.
So, the people on the side didn't see the ugliness of the old man of Anguo, and turned their heads to Lin Baozhu with a respectful smile: "The protector is really a blessing, he has a daughter who is like a flower and a jade, and a young master who is smart and clever and rare even the queen mother and the queen mother, and the current lady must also be a filial piety in the womb, and it will come out when I look at you." ”
Lin Baozhu said a few words modestly and began to listen to the words on the stage. As for how the other wives talked about it, she didn't care.
"Hehe, is the Duchess of the Protector of the country disagreeing with the words of the old body? If you are annoyed and angry, you will ignore it? Seeing this, the old lady of An Guo was not angry, and immediately put down the teacup in her hand with a cold face, and there was a condensation around her, and even the actors who were singing on the stage were silenced in fear.
"You must know that a woman should regard her husband as her heaven, and jealousy is not what a good wife is called. The Protector values you, and you should also think about the Protector's Mansion and persuade the Protector to take concubines as soon as possible to spread the branches, and this time it is not a pity for the ancestors of the Zhang family. After speaking, she also pretended to show an expression of emotion and kindness for you, and continued to persuade, "The children of those people always have to call you mother, and it is better than outsiders saying that you are not generous enough." ”
Lin Baozhu raised his eyebrows, since the Lin family's affairs, there is really no one to be such a bright shàng mén as a lobbyist. asked her to take a concubine for her own man, which is really bigger than a face.
In fact, the old lady of An Guo was also flattered too much, and many others would call her an old lady, and she could get the dignity given by nobles when she entered the palace, so she naturally looked down on Lin Baozhu a little bit in her heart.
"What does the old lady mean? I'm young, and I don't like to beat around the bush, so you just have to make it clear. As she spoke, her eyes swept over the peach-faced granddaughters brought by Mrs. An Guo, and said with an uncertain expression.
In this way, doesn't the old lady of Anguo Mansion feel angry in her heart? However, just when she was about to sneer, she saw her granddaughter, who was the most iconic in her hand, glimpse the person striding outside the garden, and suddenly her beautiful eyes frowned, as if she was a little angry, and said: "Duchess Huguo, my grandmother cherishes you for not having a concubine to teach her, so she kindly said a few more words to you, and you are so contradictory, aren't you afraid of other people's jokes?" ”
If a vulgar-looking woman said this, Xu would not be valued, and the Anguo Gongfu Xiǎo Jiě, who was partial to her mouth, had a pair of watery eyes, a beautiful face, peach cheeks with anger, and red cheeks that were born of anger, she was really a natural beauty. As soon as she opened her mouth, although it was a reproach, it first softened people's hearts.
And when her words fell, she saw that Zhang Manchu had already gone straight to her daughter-in-law. Originally, the daughter-in-law held a banquet, and the garden was full of female dependents, so it stands to reason that he should not come forward. But just now, when he was practicing his fists and feet across the courtyard, he saw a maid who hurried over, eagerly saying that his daughter-in-law had a quarrel with the old lady of the Anguo Mansion, and he was afraid that there would be a big conflict.
He was worried that his daughter-in-law would suffer a loss, and he was even more afraid that his daughter-in-law would hurt her body because of her anger. Therefore, where do you still have scruples about avoiding or not avoiding, you can simply come in person, so you can rest assured.
As soon as Zhang Manchu entered the garden, he saw a woman who didn't know what to say in front of her daughter-in-law and said something angrily, and immediately her eyes narrowed, and her heart sank a little. With an expressionless face, he walked directly past the woman to his daughter-in-law's side, looked at her daughter-in-law carefully, and then asked in a low voice full of concern, "Daughter-in-law, are you okay?" ”
He saw that his daughter-in-law's face was really not very good, so he was naturally distressed. However, before Lin Baozhu got up to speak, he saw that the Anguo Mansion had just spoken, and said to Zhang Manchu Fu Fu Xingxing: "It just so happens that the Duke of Protector has come, you are a minister of the imperial court, and you should be the same as my grandfather, father, uncle and others as the Great Zhou generals, although the generals do not pay attention to too much etiquette and restraint, but they will never bully the old and disrespect the elderly." Although the Duchess of the Protector has an order, she should not speak disrespectfully."
In order to be able to shine among the women, she got the guidance of her grandmother, and she naturally dressed up very brightly. is different from the usual ladies in the boudoir, she is holding the fairy sideburns, wearing a long skirt with tribute satin brocade, her temperament should be elegant and noble, but when she starts her temper, she is not short and neat, which is really a little hot.
The delicate woman blushed and complained that if it were another man, she should be pitied even if she was not moved. However, Zhang Manchu only glanced at her coldly after confirming that his daughter-in-law was fine, with a tense expression, and said, "Are you looking for me to complain?" If you are in the barracks, the person who complains about the black behind your back is the most disgusting. What's more, it is my daughter-in-law who is in charge of the Protector's Mansion. ”
"Today, I read that you are invited by my daughter-in-law, don't care, if there is any more, it doesn't matter which old lady in the house or 嫡xiǎo jiě, just drive out the door. If you annoy me, even if you smash your mansion, it is possible, you know, I am a barbarian, and I don't care about any etiquette or etiquette if I am in a hurry. ”
When the concubine of the Anguo Mansion heard this, the expression on her face suddenly froze, and she was terrified, but when she saw the look in her grandmother's handover eyes, she still forced her face and sneered: "Could it be that this is the hospitality of the Huguo Mansion?" ”
