Chapter 236: The Unexpected Messenger

Wen Yi was a little dazed, her fingers involuntarily grabbed the sleeve of her shirt, and the tighter she tugged. Seeing this, Li Chunxi was a little strange: "What's wrong with you?" King Kang's son wants to choose a wife, and it has nothing to do with you. ”

Wen Yi suddenly woke up and smiled reluctantly: "It really has nothing to do with me, it's just ...... I'm worried that the third aunt will act too out of line and make people laugh, and the reputation of our Gu family will be affected again. ”

Li Chunxi said: "Isn't it? Such a relative, it's really troublesome, you can't get rid of it, but she is an elder, and you still have to be respectful. My grandfather is gone, several uncles and aunts are kind people, but they all live in Huaicheng, and my father has an aunt on the other side, who is also a non-stopper, husband and children are lazy and annoying. My mother only because of the fact that my father only has this one relative, she receives some help from time to time, but she still can't help but be angry. When our family was about to enter Beijing, she made a special trip to my father to beg my father, asking my father to bring their family with him, and asking my father to find an official for her son to be an official in Beijing, and then find a rich family for her daughter to marry. My father reasoned with her, but she sprinkled in front of the gate of our house and told my mother to scold her before she was dismissed. Just to prevent their family, we set off before dawn and left far away before we stopped. Although Mrs. Liu Shangshu is more noble than my aunt, she is just as troublesome. ”

Wen Yi smiled reluctantly, but she was a little absent-minded, how could she hide it from Li Chunxi like this? The latter pushed her: "What's wrong with you?" If you are worried about Mrs. Liu, my father said that Lord Liu is a smart person and will never let his wife continue to make a fool of himself, the eldest lady of his family, in all fairness, is not bad, but she is younger and a concubine, and the queen mother can't even look down on the concubine of the Yao family, let alone her? If Mrs. Liu understands and no longer rushes to please Mrs. Yao, after a few days, no one will mention this matter. Even if someone laughs at it, it is a joke that the Liu family is delusional, and your Gu family should not be tired of being too much. If you are worried that your sisters are about to leave the cabinet, but they are being talked about at this time, why don't you talk to the lady in the Shilang Mansion and mention Mrs. Liu? Your fifth sister, isn't she going to marry into the Liu family? ”

Wen Yi was embarrassed, but what she was worried about was not for outsiders, so she could only say to Li Chunxi: "Thank you for reminding me, if the third aunt wants to make jokes again, I have to ask my grandmother to come forward and tell my uncle and grandmother." The incident between the fifth sister and the sixth sister before, which had already made people see the jokes of our Gu family, has finally passed, and there is another incident where the third aunt went to Brother Liu's house to make a big fuss. I don't care about the Liu family at the moment, but the reputation of the Gu family's daughter can't be worse. "Pause," you said...... The queen mother intended to choose a wife for King Kang's son, and even Zha Yue was disgusted, I don't know which family's daughter can get into the eyes of nobles? ”

Li Chunxi smiled and said, "How did I know this? At most, they just heard them talk about which maiden the queen had summoned, or which relative's daughter had been met by Yao Guo's husband. The prince of King Kang has been dragging on for several years, and now even the prince is excepted, although they all say that the prince himself wrote to request, only saying that he is young and immoral, and he is not worthy of being a king, in fact, who doesn't know what the emperor meant? Now that there are many young children with titles in the clan palace, there are more unmarried people, who has time to care about an unsuccessful prince of King Kang? We've also seen that person, he has been messing around a lot in the past few years, but if he really loves his daughter, who can look down on him? I'm afraid it's hard to choose this person, and the Ruan sisters have mentioned that they may look for it in the homes of people who are slightly inferior below. ”

Wen Yi secretly clenched his fists: "Then the prince of King Kang can also agree?" His temperament, looking at it, doesn't look like he will be obedient. ”

Li Chunxi snorted coldly: "What can he do even if he is disobedient?" He even lost the prince, a child of a clan like him, a big handful of them in the capital, the queen mother worried about him, and he still had to be suspicious, so he was too ignorant. A person who has the ability doesn't know how to lift, and he can still be said to be high, and he doesn't know how to lift like this, which is to humiliate himself" paused, "but...... The crown prince seems to be very concerned about this, and has persuaded the queen mother to listen to the meaning of King Kang's own meaning. For this reason, the queen specially called the crown princess to admonish her. The sisters of the Ruan family complained to us about this, it was all the prince's troubles, but it affected the crown princess. ”

Wen Yi became more and more frightened when she heard it, and the prince persuaded the queen to listen to the wishes of King Kang and choose a wife, so Zhu Jingshen ...... There won't be any delusions, right?

Whether it is the emperor or the crown prince, the two kings of this dynasty are all bent on cutting the domain, and the latter is more determined. Zhu Jingshen abandoned the prince, maybe he was worthy of the prince's heart, will the prince obey his will in order to repay his "loyalty" and send the eastward to the battlefield in northern Xinjiang? So...... What is the prince's attitude towards Zhu Jingshen's marriage? Should he ...... Really do something to force marriage, right?

Wen Yi was uneasy, now that the eastward journey was imminent, Zhu Jingshen was about to get married, and he had the support of the prince behind him, and he didn't know what he would do.

Li Chunxi called Wen Yi twice, and couldn't hold back any longer: "What's wrong with you today?" Looking like you can't give up? No matter whose daughter King Kang wants to marry, it has nothing to do with you? ”

Wen Yi hurriedly said: "Originally, it didn't matter, I was just worried...... He didn't know a few girls originally, if the queen mother and His Royal Highness the crown prince really listened to him, he wouldn't ...... Count on how many of us, right? ”

Li Chunxi was stunned, lowered his head and thought about it, and said, "Zha Yue is already out, Ruan family sisters...... How dare he think about it? As for Long Ling, the relationship with the Ruan family is about to be decided, and the Queen Mother and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must not be boring. You are the one who is engaged, and I ......" she smiled, "My father is now forbidden in the palace, my family affairs are not so easy to decide, if he really picks me, the emperor will be more suspicious of his intentions, not to mention, he is still younger than me" She clenched her fists and waved vigorously, "Even if that kid really dares to be delusional, don't think I will promise that as long as he shows a little tone, I will personally carry a knife to the door and cut him, is it really easy to bully my aunt and grandmother?" ”

Wen Yi was dumbfounded, and couldn't help laughing: "It's really amazing, he must not dare to be delusional." ”

Li Chunxi glanced at her coldly: "Are you laughing at me?" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare." Wen Yi said, "I admire my sister very much, that's how I can repel those disciples who don't have long eyes."

Li Chunxu pouted: "You don't coax me, I'll teach you to be a good person today." You just do things too softly, obviously not a fool, but always have too many scruples, one thing has to be thought about before and after, so that people are angry but don't know, you are soft, people think you are a bully, you have scruples, people have to rely on, know what way to deal with you. You have sent the handle to others by yourself, but you only know what to think about the reputation, etiquette, rules, and so on, when people calculate you, you are still dreaming"

Wen Yi was stunned, with mixed feelings in her heart, and after a while, she stretched out her hand, held Li Chunxi's hand, red eyes, and said in a low voice: "Thank you......"

It's really a word to wake up the dreamer.

Li Chunxi seemed to be a little unaccustomed to her closeness, and his expression twisted: "What are you doing?" It's hot, let go."

Wen Yi smiled, let go of her hand, and was about to speak, but she heard Xiuzhu report outside the door: "Mrs. Luo Si is here with two young ladies." Li Chunxi said: "Yes, Aunt Luo said that she was going to visit our house recently, and I thought that my mother had brought our sister and brother over, so she also came together." Wen Yi hurriedly called: "Please come in" and then greeted Li Chunxi together.

Mrs. Luo Si stood in the courtyard with her two daughters and greeted Mrs. Lu: "How is the old lady doing?" Since you arrived in the capital, why didn't you tell us and let us come and see us? If I hadn't been going to Li's house and heard about it, I wouldn't have known you were here. ”

Mrs. Lu said with a smile: "I only arrived yesterday, and I thought about seeing people again for two days, but I never thought that you and your niece were so enthusiastic." I've heard the nine girls say, she went all the way to Beijing, and she didn't get to be taken care of by the fourth wife, and I, as a grandmother, should thank you for her. ”

"I don't dare to do that." Mrs. Luo Si smiled, "Nine girls are so painful and considerate, who doesn't like it?" I should take care of it, and I should have been, where can I afford your thanks? Then he called his two daughters to kowtow.

Ming Fang and Ming Fei met Mrs. Lu, so they turned to Wen Yi on the side: "My sister hasn't been at home for a few days, what are you busy with?" Ming Fei also smiled and asked, "My sister promised to make a call for my little jade lock, but it's been more than a month, hasn't it been done yet?" Sister shouldn't forget, right? ”

Wen Yi said ashamedly, she has been busy making clothes, shoes, socks and silk armor for Liu Dongxing for most of the month, where can she take care of her children's things? I had to apologize: "I have already fought halfway, but I have been busy recently, so I delayed it, and I will definitely finish the fight in a few days and send it to you in person." ”

Mrs. Luo Si smiled and said, "You just indulge her, a hook, what is it?" You probably don't have the heart to do this. ”

Wen Yi blushed and lowered her head.

Mrs. Li smiled and said, "Let's all come into the house and talk, although the weather is not very hot, the sun is also panicking." And they said yes, and turned and went into the main house.

At this time, Mrs. Lin, who was guarding the door at the second gate, came over and said to Wen Yi: "Miss, there is a girl outside, who said that she is a friend of Miss, passing by here, because she is in a hurry, it is inconvenient to come in to visit, but she has a few words to tell Miss, please Miss move to the car and talk about it." ”

Wen Yi was stunned, and wondered in her heart: Who could it be? What do you have to say in the carriage? Then he thought of the maid Qiu Tan beside Zhu Jingshen, the prince of King Kang, and couldn't help but be vigilant in his heart, so he said: "Since you are a guest, how can you not invite in?" Please go to the small hall in the outer courtyard. ”

Mrs. Lin hesitated for a moment, approached Wen Yi and said in a low voice: "Miss, the little one used to be in the old master's house, and she also saw some of the world, and that girl looked at the coachman, the maid, and the mother-in-law who were waiting around her...... It seems that they all came out of the palace. Maybe there is something important to say this. ”

Wen Yi heard that there was more than one person coming, but she was a little relieved, thought about it, and said to Mrs. Lu: "It seems that she is a friend of her granddaughter, and her granddaughter will go out to see her and come back immediately." Old Madam Lu nodded: "Don't be too lazy, please go to the outer courtyard to watch the tea." A few of us talked in the inner courtyard and didn't bother. Wen Yi comprehended, confessed to Mrs. Li and Mrs. Luo Si and others, and went out of the second gate, but called Qiuguo, Hexiang and two mothers-in-law to follow, and when they arrived at the gate, they didn't go out, but just stood in the door and looked around: "Where is that girl?" ”

Mrs. Lin pointed to the entrance of the alley: "The car is parked there." ”

Wen Yi walked over with someone, and saw that it was an inconspicuous carriage, the coachman was not in the seat, but there were several guard-like people around, and there was a middle-aged woman standing in front of the car, with low eyebrows and eyes, and her hands were tied. ”

The carriage curtain was lifted, revealing a familiar face, and he smiled slightly: "Miss Gu Jiu, don't come to harm?" ”

Wen Yi was secretly taken aback, it was actually a barberry who hadn't seen her for a long time

The princess Du Yuanru's confidant maid Xiao Bai must have followed her into the palace when the prince got married, how could she suddenly come to her house?

Wen Yi didn't care about this, turned around and told Qiu Guo and the others to step back, and quickly got into the car. As soon as she entered the carriage, the middle-aged woman put the curtain down and stood guard in front of the carriage, not letting people get any closer.

When Wen Yi arrived in the car, Xiao Bai smiled and asked her to sit down, although she sat down, she was a little uneasy: "How could Xiao Bai girl come out of the palace?" But...... But what does Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess have to order? ”

Xiao Bai smiled and said, "Miss Nine, Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess often says that you are her close friend, please don't be so polite." ”

Where did Wen Yi dare to be presumptuous: "Your Royal Highness has a noble status, and the little girl will never dare to slack off." Even though Du Yuanru repeatedly emphasized that the two were friends, so that she didn't have to be so polite, she still didn't dare to ignore it in the slightest. It's easy to get used to it, once she gets used to it, even if Du Yuanru himself doesn't mind, there will be people who can't see it, why should she cause trouble for herself for this little thing? She's just a weak girl with no power or power.

Xiao Bai's smile deepened, and he was not annoyed by her words: "Madame once said that Miss is a person who knows etiquette, and the slave is convinced. Then he got straight to the point, "The slave maid was on the order of Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, and she had something to say to the young lady." Miss doesn't have to be polite, just sit upright and listen. ”

Wen Yi originally planned to kneel down to listen to the order, but when she said this, she sat down honestly and bowed her head to listen.

But then Xiao Bai's words surprised her: "Your Highness wants to ask Miss, Prince Kang, in addition to the two meetings that Miss talked about when she was in Dongyang Hou's Mansion that time, have you had other contacts?" ”
