Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Attitude of the Liang State Mansion
Chapter 58 The attitude of the Duke of Liang
Even if the ladies grew up from snacks and clothing, they are also well educated at home, but after all, they have experienced too few things, even if they sit at a table and feast, the topics they can talk about are limited, but they are just some clothes and jewelry materials.
But the elders are different at this table, everyone comes with a heart, and the banquet often achieves a certain purpose, and even so, those ladies are happy to laugh and laugh at the banquet.
What's the point of having a little more smiling faces? The important thing is that the goal can be achieved.
Because He Changan hid it well, Xu Huanche would not tell this matter, and He Yiqing also felt that it was not a good thing to be embarrassed by his cousin, who was one year younger than him and had always looked down on him, so Huai Suchi was tense here, but the water pavilion didn't know at all.
Shi He's is the nearest female dependant living in the Shouxing Mansion, so Shi He's took the lead and picked up the wine glass full of wine: "My sister-in-law is a noble daughter from the Liang Guogong Mansion, after marrying my brother more than ten years ago, she did her best to run this family, so that my brother has no worries about killing the enemy, and now she has raised her niece in Chang'an so well, it is really my sister-in-law's hard work." Today, taking advantage of my sister-in-law's good day, I He Xunyu will give my sister-in-law a glass of wine, and I will do it first. ”
Everyone raised their glasses one after another: "Mrs. Gong Changbo has today every year, and there is a present day every year." ”
After everyone finished toasting, they heard Princess Zhaochang speak: "You don't know, this palace has heard that the future daughter-in-law of this palace is outstanding in everything, but there is a lot of credit for Mrs. Gong Changbo." The child of Gong Changbo's family, I have also seen it, the concubine is very noble, but she is not arrogant at all, the concubine is now the personal guard of our fourth prince, not to mention that the martial arts are very good, it is always good to be the prince's personal guard, isn't it?"
Princess Zhaochang didn't say that He Jiaqing was a nominal son-in-law, but only said that she was a son-in-law, and who else would be there to reveal the fact that He Jiaqing was born to her aunt without eyes.
If the person who is most likely to do this on the whole table is Princess Zhaoxing, but Princess Zhaoxing's family is not without concubines, and everyone understands what kind of situation Princess Zhaoxing treats concubines, she is not stupid enough to commit this taboo in front of everyone.
Duchess Liang Guo thought about it a little more, not to mention that the Bai family who raised He Jiaqing was a serious Mrs. Gong Changbo, He Jiaqing's biological mother Geng was also the daughter of her father's Korean father, she knew her father too well, although she refused to recognize the daughter of this Qinglou woman in order to hide her face, but she saw her father sitting in the study several times, thinking quietly about something, writing something, and then those papers were picked up by her, and what was written on them were two words, Jingjun.
Geng Jingjun is the name of Uncle Gong Chang's aunt Geng's family, in fact, although Han Gong looks like a rough person on the outside, he is not worried about this daughter who has never received her father's love since she was born.
If He Jiaqing is out of business, not to mention anything else, at least the Geng family has given birth to a son in Gongchangbo Mansion over the years, but he has never made waves, and she is also an aunt who keeps her duty in the eyes of her aunt and grandmother.
His father must be able to feel less guilty about this daughter, right?
And anyway, He Jiaqing is now the son of the Bai family, that is, the nephew of the Liang State Mansion, and the Geng family suddenly remembered the words of her husband Bai Benting the night before.
Bai Benting was very busy with official business during this time, and she frowned all day long, she never asked what happened in the outer house, which made Bai Benting feel very relieved, and when Bai Benting returned to the backyard this day, it was already the time to hold the lamp.
"My husband came back so late, but he had a party outside?"
Bai Benting was not drunk, but a little drunk, Geng personally dressed him, this is the habit of getting married to the present twenty years, never willing to fake his hand to the maid, Bai Benting was very moved by this, Bai Benting grabbed her hand: "Tomorrow is the birthday of the eldest sister, are you going to go to Gongchangbo's mansion?"
Geng removed Bai Benting's robe and hung it on the coat rack on the side: "What the master said is that the eldest sister will be thirty-fifth tomorrow, and it is also the fifth birthday, and the concubine has also invited many noble ladies and nobles from other people's families. The concubine also thought, Sister Hui must be brought over, our Sister Hui is not young, in a few years it will be the age of others, now go out and walk around, our Sister Hui will also have a little reputation. It's just that the niece of the second brother and sister's mother's family...... The second brother and sister went to ask for the grace of their mother, and they must let me bring that Du Ruo with me. ”
Bai Benting looked noncommittal: "The Du family was also a big family in Lanling earlier, but after all, it was not in the capital, so it was inevitable that the eyelids would be a little shallow, and it has become more and more declining over the years, Du Ruo's child has also met when he first entered the house, but I feel a little bit of a little childish, but if we disobey our mother's will because of this, I am afraid that the second brother and sister will make trouble again." So if Du Ruo is going tomorrow, you will take her with you, which of those noble ladies is not a human spirit? If Du Ruo is really shallow-eyed, he will lose the face of our Liang Guo Mansion or second, the most important thing is that he will bring humiliation on himself. If what she did was really out of line, when we replied to our mother in the future, it would be reasonable. ”
Bai Benting has always been very careful about what to do in his heart, he said this, Geng's heart also let go of the general heart, thought about it and said: "Master, there is one more thing, the concubine feels that the eldest sister has done a lot of things on her thirty-fifth birthday, in fact, she didn't mean to pick a daughter-in-law for Brother Yan, what do you think, master?"
"In my opinion, the most important thing is to get closer to the relationship between the He family and the Xu family, although the Xu family is the Marquis of Anshun, but the strong is that the ancestors of the family got the position of marquis when they opened the dynasty from the Tai/Zu/Huang/Emperor, but they got the title of Duke of Changguo before Gongchang Bofu, and later they were demoted. And now Anshun Hou's body is still tough, but the prince has already decided to be the youngest son, and in the future, it will be passed down one generation later, Anshun Hou Shizi must be the son of the third sister, if the two Xu He families can get along, it is actually not a good thing. ”
As he spoke, he picked up the tea on the small table and drank it all: "The tea is a little cold, but it's okay to use it to relieve hangover." As for Brother Yan'er, he is now fifteen years old, and now he is starting to see his daughter-in-law, which is actually about the same. And I looked at it coldly, Brother Yan'er, this kid is a rare manufacturable material, don't look at him now as just a prince's guard, but he knows in his heart, knows when to do something, and there is no mistake at all. In addition, the eldest sister has no biological son, and in the future, the title of Earl Gongchang will most likely fall on Brother Yan. What's more, Brother Yan is smart, he learned to stand in line since he was a child, even if the one is in trouble now, he still hasn't changed his original intention, if that one really becomes a big deal, Brother Yan'er's creation will be far more than that. ”
As he spoke, he stretched out two fingers and made a "two" gesture.
Geng Shi was startled and covered his mouth: "The master is saying, Second Highness, the concubine has always thought that since the Second Highness came down from that position, Brother Yan and the Second Highness have no original relationship, and they don't want to ......."
Bai Benting laughed twice: "Sure enough, it's a woman's family, and you can only see things on the surface." Heilan, you married me when you were a teenager, and now you have been twenty years, there are many things, and I don't want to hide it from you, to be honest, my position is the same as that of He Jiaqing, a child. ”
Nothing can make a woman feel more relieved than the trust between husband and wife, Geng Shi smiled: "I've never heard the master say this before, even when His Royal Highness was still the prince, I never heard it." ”
"The saint is a Ming monarch, and the most disliked thing is that the courtiers form a party for personal gain, if it is when the second highness is still the prince, I will obviously express my support for the prince, that is too hasty, it will make the saint feel that our Liang Guogong Mansion is in a hurry to support the young lord, and bring the young lord to order the princes, then I will be jealous of the Bai family. But now I can't act rashly, what I'm showing now is a pure minister who is completely loyal to the saint, but after all, I am the uncle of the Second Highness, and some things are a little biased, and I feel that it is human nature to ascend, but human affection is too much. ”
Geng Hailan: "The master said so much to the concubine today, there must be something for the concubine to do tomorrow, right?"
"Heilan is really smart. Now Brother Yan'er's identity, although it is not very high in the imperial capital, is a good match for many noble girls to marry. I remember that the only concubine of the Sui Anbo family seemed to miss the draft because of illness, but she was a good girl, and she has always been very good in the imperial capital. Sui Anbo and the eldest princess of Zhaoning also feel sorry for this only daughter, if we can let the daughter of Sui Anbo's family marry Brother Yan'er, we will contribute to a good thing. ”
Geng covered his mouth and smiled: "It's easy for the master to say, but Brother Yan is also a hot one in the imperial capital now, how many girls are staring at Brother Yan." ”
Bai Benting didn't say much, only left a few words: "It's man-made." ”
Thinking of these, Geng Shi opened his mouth: "I just think that my nephew, since he was a child, has been a smart man, and sensitive and studious, a few days ago my grandson also told me, that day he suddenly came interested in investigating Brother Yan'er's knowledge, than our family's Brother Zong'er is not worse or anything, but Brother Yan went to the palace as a guard a few years ago, it stands to reason that the time spent reading books should be much less than Brother Zong'er, which shows that this child must have squeezed out time to read sage books, which shows that he is a motivated." ”
Liang Guogong's eldest son Bai Zongzhe was also studious since he was a child, and at that time, the saint examined him a few questions and felt that this child was a malleable talent, and personally gave the word "sensitive and studious".
Everyone agreed, all of them were well educated by the Bai family, who was a mother who didn't want to listen to such good words, the Bai family smiled more and more comfortably, this is the happiest birthday she has had since she married into Gongchangbo's mansion for more than ten years, if it weren't for the change in Chang'an, she couldn't imagine that she could have such a happy day in her life
