Chapter 30: The Peerless Shuangjiao
In the blink of an eye, Xue Mansion is about to usher in the old lady's birthday.
Xu is not from a famous aristocratic family, and the old lady from the countryside does not like extravagance and waste, so the birthday banquet has always been extremely simple, and as in the past, she did not invite other people's ladies and ladies.
It's just that this year, the old lady said half-jokingly and half-regretfully, just looking forward to a reunion dinner for the family.
Who doesn't know what the old lady meant?
Therefore, as soon as Xue Hainiang was free, she went to Qiushuiju to discuss the matter with the Li family.
"I don't know what my mother's plans are?" Xue Hainiang leaned on the chaise longue, holding the stove in her palm because of the cold, her eyes were shining, and she was looking at the Li family opposite her.
Li Shi leaned on the chaise longue with her, holding the stove in her palm, she was stunned, and Fang said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid the old lady intends to release the one who is grounded in Qixiu Garden this time......"
Although the Lin family is not a famous family, it is also the daughter of the waiter, the young lady of a large family, and because of the support of Lin Shilang, Xue Jingzheng can have today's situation, it is because he has married into the Xue Mansion for many years, the Lin family is arrogant and domineering, although the old lady sees it in her eyes, she does not stop it much.
Xue Hainiang smiled softly, her phoenix eyes were soft like a pool of autumn water, and she said lightly: "My daughter proposed, my mother proposed to the old lady to lift the Lin family's grounding when she was in the province...... The old lady intends to release the Lin family, and it will be a matter of time before the Lin family lifts the ban, and the mother herself is the lady of the main room, so it is better to raise this matter first, so as to show the generosity and dignity of the mother to the people in the house. ”
After hearing this, Li couldn't help but look at Xue Hainiang, and said with relief: "Hainiang is really impressive to her mother now, and when you enter the palace in the future, your mother doesn't have to worry too much about you......"
Xue Hainiang was stunned, knowing that Li was referring to her entering the palace as a concubine in the future.
She proved it for a long time, and only after a while did she find her voice, "If Hai Niang fails to do what her mother expects after entering the palace, her mother is afraid that she will blame Hai Niang......"
The Li family expects her to win the favor of Nan Jiuxi, to favor the harem, and to shine on the lintel, but these are all things that she is ashamed of.
She would rather be trapped in the palace all her life, be a servant girl, and let others drive her, she would rather have no glory and wealth, and she would not want to be Nan Jiuxi's wife again!
She just wanted to ...... Let him live better than die!
Li smiled helplessly, "My mother only hopes that you will be able to live a worry-free life after entering the palace, how can I expect anything from you." ”
Xue Hainiang smiled and narrowed her eyes, but the bottom of her eyes was like an eternal autumn water, with a faint mockery.
As soon as she enters the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea, and it is a great fortune to be able to save her own life, so how can she be carefree in her life? What even the current queen mother can't do, how can she do it?
The next day, under the surprised and horrified eyes of everyone, the Li family proposed to the old lady to lift the Lin family's grounding, and the Xu family also smiled and echoed with a smile on the belly that was about to give birth, and the old lady was surprised but also agreed, and let the Lin family be released on the same day.
Xue Jingzheng, who learned of this, was also surprised and relieved for a while, in his opinion, no one in this mansion can intercede from the Li family and the Xu family, after all, after marrying into the mansion for decades, although the Lin family is a concubine, he is arrogant and domineering, and he does not put the Li family in his eyes at all, and the Xu family was almost treated as adultery because of the Lin family's chasing after the wind and shadows, and almost killed two corpses. These two people can be said to have a deep hatred with the Lin family, but now they are interceding for her, which naturally makes him feel emotional.
On the second day after the ban was lifted, Lin brought Xue Qiaoling to visit Qiushuiju, but she was dressed in plain clothes, and she had long lost her usual arrogance and heavy makeup.
Li knew that Lin had no intention of thanking him, everything was nothing more than to show others, and he had never talked to her too much, and after a few words of greeting, he said that he was tired and wanted to rest, and Lin retired with interest.
Immediately after the same day, Lin went to visit Xu in the Splendid Pavilion alone, and brought some tonic to the Splendid Pavilion to stabilize the fetus and nourish the spirit, and was grateful to Dade, Xu was not as cold as the Li family, and was extremely enthusiastic to keep the Lin family for dinner, and had a good 'heart-to-heart talk' with her, which made the Lin family feel a little uncomfortable.
A few more days passed.
That night, the snow fell all night until dawn, and the courtyard seemed to be covered in whitewashed jade, and the empty branches were only covered with snow.
Just after the end of the year, Xue Hainiang just returned to Furong Garden from Tanyuan, and was dragged by Mingxi to dress up, although it was a family banquet, but looking at Mingxi's posture, I was afraid that Xue Hainiang failed to amaze the audience, and she would never give up.
The purple snow satin dress cascaded down from the waist and fluttered to the ground, the cumbersome pattern totems overlapped at the end of the skirt, and the waist was tied with a gold embroidered belt. Because of the cold weather, Mingxi did not forget to put on a mink cloak for her.
Her waist-length black hair is half-pulled, embellished with step shaking and jade hairpins, and a touch of red plum blossoms on her forehead, which can be described as peerless.
Therefore, when Xue Hainiang walked to Tanyuan, everyone felt that their eyes lit up, and Xue Jingzheng and the old lady did not hide their appreciation and joy.
Since Xue Hainiang was favored and rewarded by the Queen Mother in Mafu that day, the old lady and Xue Jingzheng were full of expectations for her, hoping that she would be able to win the favor of the emperor and be favored as a concubine by virtue of her appearance and scorching talent in the future.
"Hai Niang is really born more and more exquisite. The old lady was full of praise when she saw herself, and then turned to look at Li, and said with relief: "This is all good for you to teach......
Seeing that the old lady praised the Li family, Xue Hainiang also smiled, the Li family is not as good as her, she will enter the palace in the future, and she will have nothing to do with the Xue Mansion, but the Li family is detained in this Xue Mansion for life and death, and it is naturally a good thing that she can be valued by others.
Xue Qiaoling wore a delicate crimson brocade robe as in the past, embroidered with cumbersome totemic brocade patterns, her dark hair like a waterfall was pulled into a flowing cloud bun, and her head was decorated with red agate and silver hairpins.
She saw that the old lady admired Xue Hainiang a lot, and she was dissatisfied, but she was not stupid, so she just coquettishly said, "Grandma only cares about saying that the eldest sister is good-looking......"
The old lady looked back at her when she said this.
Inherited from Lin's bright and charming face, it was a little more beautiful than the red plum in the courtyard, and the old lady looked more and more happy, holding Xue Qiaoling's soft hair and praising it continuously.
The granddaughter is beautiful and refined, peerless, and the granddaughter is gorgeous, charming and smart, and now she is looking forward to the Xu family in the womb is a son who can pass on the ancestry, and she is satisfied.
It is precisely because of this that many times she looks at Xu differently.
You must know that the continuation of the bloodline can be said to be the top priority, and the old lady is naturally not exempt from vulgarity.
