Chapter 018: Hand-picked by the Queen Mother
"Mother, why are you squeezing the second brother again?" Wu Zhoukong was very helpless.
"Mother squeezes him?" Mrs. Cicada snorted strangely: "Mother is just telling the truth, you said, you were injured, which time was it not because of you, a good second brother?" When he was a child, he was naughty, teasing the dog next door, and was chased and ran, and you went to help drive the dog, and the result? You are the one who was bitten by the dog. ”
"Mother, wasn't the second brother still young at that time! What do you have to do with a child? And shouldn't the big brother go to help? ”
"Okay, when I was a child, my mother won't mention it, just talk about the latest, not long ago, he lifted the roof of the idle king, and he didn't admit his mistake, and then you went to the idle king's mansion to accompany him, what happened? You were slapped by the Idle King, he was good on his own, nothing happened, and ......"
"Mother!"
Mrs. Cicada Ru's eyes glared: "It's useless to call his mother, don't think that he is the best martial artist in the house, my mother should respect him, let him do everything, he is just a good person, he is now just an idler without an official and a half-job, not to mention his troublesome nature, he is an official and a general, and he can't share worries for His Majesty, he is a scourge." ”
"Madame, you've said that!" Lord Wu frowned slightly and opened his mouth to maintain.
Mrs. Cicada snorted coldly: "Yes, you can spoil him!" Now he will be a little devil, and he will be a big demon in the future, and see how he will be spoiled by you in the future. ”
After speaking, Mrs. Cicada left in a huff.
Looking at the back of Mrs. Cicada Ru's departure, Wu Wangye sighed softly: "Did you hear that?" Your second mother is right, you, it's time to take care of it, are you ...... about that thing?"
"Father, I suddenly thought that I had something to do, so I left first." Wu Chengsi said with a smile and left.
"Eh, you kid!" Wu Wangye glared, half loud, and then sighed heavily: "It's been so long, can't he still forget it?" ”
"Father, no matter what the second brother does, in fact, his heart is not bad, and every time there is a reason, and it is not his fault, so ......"
"For the father to know, otherwise do you think the father is the kind of person who covers and dotes on his son without saying anything?"
"Of course not, my father is a wise and martial man."
Wu Wangye suddenly sighed again: "It's just that it's not a way to go on like this, people who know will still read him well, but what if you don't know?" Look at the kings and grandchildren of the whole city, and even the common people, who didn't poke him in the backbone behind his back, if he hadn't been deeply favored by His Majesty and the Queen Mother, those people would have been scolded a long time ago. ”
Wu Zhoukong thought for a while, and suddenly, he smiled and said: "Father, it's better to find a family for the second brother, the so-called starting a family, and when he gets married, maybe his heart will become mature." ”
Lord Wu's eyes lit up: "Eh, this is a good idea, then we ...... like this"
As soon as Wu Chengsi walked out of the gate of the palace, he sneezed for no reason.
"Who's thinking I'm not going to make it?" Wu Chengsi said narcissistically, but he didn't know that at this time, he had been calculated by two men who loved him.
"What? You refused? ”
In the hall of the Night Pavilion, the nurse was surprised: "I said the county lord! Do you know what you've done? That's the Taiyi Pavilion, the highest field of doctors, but anyone who walks into the Taiyi Pavilion is a well-known figure, if you enter the Taiyi Pavilion, who will dare to say that you are incompetent in the future? But you ruined your future with a single word. ”
I smiled slightly: "Nurse, look at what you said, is it so pity?" ”
"Yes!" The nurse replied sullenly.
"Well, even if I'm a good place to go, do you want me to lose my backbone and die for someone who can't even remember my name?"
“……”
The nurse was dumbfounded for a while, and then sighed: "Hey, it may be fate." ”
"Nurse, fate is such a thing, it can be changed by yourself, hard-working children have food, you see, don't we need other people's alms now and don't worry about three meals?"
"You~" The nurse smiled helplessly: "It's okay, the nurse doesn't ask you to be rich and noble with the prince, I just ask you to be safe." ”
Hearing this, I just smiled and didn't say anything, but in my heart, I secretly said: Nanny, don't worry, it's just a Tai Yi Pavilion, there is nothing to be sorry for, because in the future, I will definitely be a doctor above the peak, those who once looked down on me, despised and ignored me, bullied and hurt me, I will all step on the soles of my feet.
I want them to know what it means to be truly strong.
"Zhao Yan, you come out for me!"
At this moment, there was a sudden shouting sound outside the door.
"County Lord, it's the second lady!" The nurse said.
I pursed my lips sarcastically: "Still so ignorant of life and death, I'll go meet her." ”
"County Lord......"
"Go back to the house and take care of the lawyer! He's on his way to taking his medicine. ”
The nurse opened her mouth, but seeing that I was so resolute, she had no choice but to say, "Then be careful!" ”
I nodded, and walked out.
"Zhao Yan, you little slut, what are you grinding? Come with me. After saying that, Ye Lian didn't care what my attitude was, and left directly.
I raised my eyebrows coldly, I didn't want to pay attention to it, but thinking about it, it's boring to be idle anyway, let's see what Ye Lian wants to do, and pass the time by the way.
Following Ye Lian, I walked out of the Night Pavilion, I thought I would be bullied by Ye Lian somewhere, but I didn't want to, Ye Lian just brought me to Ye Guichen, and there were still a few people sitting in the hall.
Aunt Liu, Aunt Qiu, Lin Ling, and two women and sons who have never seen each other, judging from their age and dress, they should be Aunt Lin and Ye Xie.
Is this a three-class triage?
"Now that everyone is here, I announce one thing, two days later, the Queen Mother will hold a flower-viewing banquet, and the sons and daughters of all the mansions will participate, and our Zhenguo Mansion is also on the invitation list, so you are ready to prepare for the past two days, don't lose the face of the Zhenguo Mansion, you know?"
"Father, do you think it will be the queen mother who wants to choose a wife for which prince?" Ye Ling first asked happily.
Ye Guichen smiled slightly, but seemed to hope so: "The queen mother's thoughts, my father can't guess, but there is one thing, you have to remember, you represent the Zhenguo Mansion, and your behavior should not be reckless, and there are ......"
Ye Guichen wanted to say something more, but in the middle of his words, he saw a line of words I wrote: Those have nothing to do with me, right? I'm going too?
Ye Guichen's face was cold, and he said coldly: "The Queen Mother asked you to participate by name, so don't embarrass me." ”
Named?
This was a surprise.
Not only me, but even Ye Lian and Ye Ling and others on the side were surprised.
"Father, you're right, are you? The Queen Mother actually named her to participate? What's going on? Ye Lian said with some jealousy.
Thinking that she Ye Lian is also a well-known talented woman in the capital, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but the Queen Mother did not mention her, but instead handpicked Zhao Yan, a waste, so how could she not be jealous!
"Yes, what is she Zhao Yan? She is a waste, but such a waste was handpicked by the Queen Mother, and she didn't think it was possible. Ye Ling was also very skeptical, thinking that Ye Guichen must have said something wrong.
If he said that it was Ye Lian, then she didn't doubt it, after all, Ye Lian was a well-known talented woman in the capital.
"That's why the father will say that he can't understand the meaning of the Queen Mother, if it is usual, this kind of banquet may be like you said, it may be for which son or daughter to find a good match, but this time it is a little different! So you have to be careful, especially Miss Four, you know? ”
I hooked my lips coldly, and mocked in my heart: I'm afraid that I will lose your face, since you don't want me to lose face, then you have to let you have some blood.
Thinking of this, I flipped my little hand and looked at Ye Guichen.
Ye Guichen was stunned for a moment, and looked at me suspiciously: "What do you mean?" ”
I wrote a word on the small board in my hand: money!
Ye Guichen glanced at it, nodded a little clearly, and then turned to Aunt Liu: "You add it to her, she can't wear these things on her." ”
Aunt Liu nodded, and was about to answer, but I snapped my fingers at this moment, and everyone's eyes immediately turned to me, and I, smiling, shook my head, and then wrote a few words: I bought it myself.
"And how much do you need?" Ye Guichen's face was expressionless, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
I held out a slap in the face.
"Fifty taels?" Ye Guichen guessed: "Don't be too ......"
I shook my head: a crested hairpin, a pair of jade bracelets, a gold chain, a set of brocade robes, the standard attire of the county lord, five thousand taels, not expensive, right?
Looking at the words I wrote, Ye Guichen's face darkened, but Ye Guichen hadn't spoken yet, Ye Lian had already said angrily: "Zhao Yan, who do you think you are?" The Queen Mother just happened to think of you, so she called you into the palace by the way, don't you think that you are a phoenix in this way, the county lord's formal attire? As far as you are talentless and unattractive, are you qualified to wear it? ”
I am the eldest daughter of the eldest princess, the imperial nephew of His Majesty, and the imperial grandson of the Queen Mother.
I wrote a series of words again, looking at those words, everyone was dumbfounded, Ye Guichen also pondered, and after half a sound, he said: "Aunt Liu, give it to her!" ”
Aunt Liu's eyes widened, and she was jealous in her heart: "Master, do you really want to give?" Five thousand taels is not a small amount. ”
"You know what? The Queen Mother has not seen the four daughters for a long time, but now she is suddenly hand-picked, the Queen Mother's thoughts, are you accurate? ”
Hearing Ye Guichen's words, I laughed in my heart, because I had long known that Ye Guichen wanted to save face, and I was worried that what I said would not become true, so I knew long before I said that five thousand taels were basically counted.
"But isn't five thousand taels too much?" Aunt Liu said.
At this time, Aunt Qiu suddenly smiled, and then sneered coldly: "I think that at the beginning, when the eldest lady Ye Rong was named a concubine, the outfit on her body only used more than four thousand taels, and Zhao Yan opened her mouth to five thousand taels, sister, do you feel wronged?" ”
