Chapter 60: Ruthless (3K5, Three More Seeking Pink)
Zheng Suxin said it so sincerely, even the Yao female officials, who had always had a holiday with her, couldn't make a mistake.
Female official Yao couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Zheng Yiren really deserves to be a model for women, no wonder the Queen Mother values Zheng Yiren." β
"Needless to say? Zheng Yiren's fourth female book has become a model of the boudoir in our Great Xia Dynasty. The Queen Mother praised Zheng Suxin with a smile, and said with deep feelings: "Actually, it doesn't matter if you can have a son or not." The important thing is that the man's heart is not on your side. You already have the position of the original spouse, as long as the man's heart is with you, other women, no matter how many sons they have, are born for you. β
The smile on the corner of Female Officer Yao's mouth froze. She suddenly remembered that the Queen Mother was the successor of the first emperor, she had never given birth to children in her life, not even a daughter, and she was not as good as Zheng Suxin. If he mocked Zheng Suxin like this just now, will it make the Queen Mother feel too much?
Zheng Suxin had already thought of this, so she deliberately followed Lady Yao's words.
Now that Lady Yao realized that she had gone away, the smile on the corner of Zheng Suxin's mouth became more obvious, and she said slowly: "Queen Mother Mingjian, this is the reason." Whether you can have a son or not, in fact, it doesn't matter at all. For example, if you look at Sheng Qiye's family, Sheng Qiye's wife only gave birth to a daughter. Sheng Qiye took a concubine in the countryside and also gave birth to two boys and a girl, how similar to the situation in my family. However, the only difference is that the children born to Sheng Qiye's concubine are all older, and this concubine just entered the mansion and died of a heart attack within a few days. This is also the reason why she is blessed, the small people in the countryside can't bear this splashing wealth. β
The Queen Mother nodded, "That's the reason." Then he remembered Zheng Suxin's feast, and said, "Have you posted all your posts?" Now there is something wrong in Sheng Qi's family. He can't go to other people's homes as a guest, right? β
Zheng Suxin smiled gently: "It's just a concubine, do you still want someone to mourn her?" But you're right. Wait for me to go back and discuss with the uncle and the old man. β
The Queen Mother remembered the appearance of Old Man Wu who got into the eyes of money, and couldn't help laughing: "Your old man is going to die of distress." You're still going to ask him? β
"The Queen Mother doesn't know, my old man said, Sheng Qi is back, this guest must be invited, and the money must be paid. However, he wants to save a province by himself, so he only eats soy sauce bibimbap for the past few days, and refuses to dip a little oil meat. If we want to eat something good, we have to hide in the room and eat it, if he knows about it. But you have to point your nose and scold. Zheng Suxin remembered Old Man Wu's unkempt appearance, and couldn't help but sigh.
The Queen Mother laughed and said, "Wu Tongqian is this virtue." Your Wu family, it is said that the heads of the family for generations have been very picky, otherwise how can you call it 'God of Wealth Wu'?! - That kid from your husband's Monarch Pavilion is a loose man, unlike his ancestors. β
Wu Tongqian is the nickname of the old man Wu of the Wu State Mansion when he was a teenager, and only a person of the Queen Mother's age and status can call him that.
However, Zheng Suxin heard that the Queen Mother said that "God of Wu" was "God of Wealth Wu", and said that her husband Wu Changge was different from the people of her ancestors, and she was no matter how good she was. was still stiff, covered his sleeves and said with a smile: "Queen Mother, have you also heard of 'God of Wealth Wu'?" I don't know who urged the narrowness like this, and changed our family's good 'God of Calculation Wu' to 'God of Wealth Wu'. When our old man heard about this nickname, he blew his beard and glared at him, and slapped the table and bench. I have to find this person and greet him with a feather duster! β
The Queen Mother and Lady Yao thought about Old Man Wu's sharp-beaked monkey cheeks. The way they chased people around with a feather duster laughed.
Zheng Suxin has been serving the Queen Mother in the palace and had lunch. When I went to Yunge to take a nap, I took a sedan chair out of the palace and went home.
The mansion of the Duke of Wu was to the west of the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty.
The spacious mansion stretches for dozens of miles, facing the mountain in the northwest, and there is a huge lake in front of the mountain, the water vapor is steaming, and there is often a state of smoke and waves.
Zheng Suxin got off the sedan chair in front of the gate, looked at the family emblem of the white tiger painted on the high gatehouse, and smiled slightly.
She entered through the corner gate and did not go directly back to the inner courtyard, but went to Guanyun Residence, where Wu Changge lived daily in the outer courtyard.
Wu Changge's official position is a loose official, and he usually does not need to go to the yamen.
During the day, he took care of the Wu family's business in Guanyunju in the outer courtyard.
Zheng Suxin did not let the little maid pass it on, but went directly to Wu Changge's study in Guanyunju, which was actually the east room of Guanyunju.
"Hey, you're back so early?" Wu Changge put down his pen with a smile and walked out from behind the bookcase.
Zheng Suxin nodded with a smile and asked him, "Is the old lady at home?" I have something to discuss with you. β
"What's the matter? Tell me first. If I can't handle it, it's not too late to go to my dad again. Wu Changge personally cooked tea for Zheng Suxin.
Looking at it from the angle from which Zheng Suxin was sitting, she could just see Wu Changge's impeccable side face, which looked like a girl's house.
Zheng Suxin sighed lightly, lowered her eyes, and said in a low voice: "The concubine in Sheng Qiye's family has just disappeared, and the Queen Mother asked if the dust washing banquet we held for Sheng Qiye is going to change the day?" β
At the beginning, Zheng Suxin proposed to hold a dust washing feast for Sheng Qiye, but Wu Changge was very disapproving, thinking that with his father's miserly temperament, he would definitely not agree to hold a banquet for outsiders.
Unexpectedly, he mentioned it to Old Man Wu, and Old Man Wu actually agreed, and took the initiative to say that he wanted to prepare more decent dishes, and he couldn't neglect Sheng Qi.
This kind of words come out of the mouth of a person like Old Man Wu, who only takes pleasure in counting copper coins all his life, which is really too rare.
Only then did Wu Changge become interested and devote himself to the preparation of this feast.
He just finished a qiΔ, and he just had to send a post to someone, and he actually said that he would postpone it!
Wu Changge was a little unhappy, he turned a rabbit purple bamboo pen in his hand, drooped his eyelids, and said listlessly: "It's just a concubine, if she dies, she will die, can you mourn her?" β
The corners of Zheng Suxin's mouth curled up when she heard this, and her voice became softer and softer: "You can't say that, after all, she is a concubine who gave birth to a son for Sheng Qiye, maybe her son will inherit Sheng Guogong's position in the future?" You see that Duchess Sheng Guo is not too young......" means that Duchess Sheng Guo Wang may not be born.
"That's right." Wu Changge was persuaded by Zheng Suxin very much, and said, "Then let's go and ask my father together." β
Old Man Wu's residence in the outer courtyard is called Zhile Hall. It is taken from the word "happiness" in the "Yin Fu Sutra", "to be happy, to be quiet, to be cheap".
Zhile Hall is a small two-story building facing the water. The single eaves rest the mountain, which is very narrow and long. The single-row house, like a long corridor with doors and windows, is the best place to recuperate in summer.
When Wu Changge and Zheng Suxin came in, Old Man Wu was holding the account book, crackling and dialing the abacus.
Hearing that they had come in, Old Man Wu said without raising his head: "Go and sit on the side, and talk to you when I finish settling this account." There is no tea today, only white water. β
Wu Changge and Zheng Suxin looked at each other and smiled. Sit aside and wait.
Old Man Wu dialed the abacus quickly, and saw ten fingers flying, like a streamer phantom, dazzling to see.
When he had finished counting the books, he closed them and threw them aside, and asked them, "Is there anything wrong?" Then asked Zheng Suxin: "You just came back from the palace?" Is there anything the Queen Mother commands? β
Zheng Suxin hurriedly stood up and said, "Yes." Because Sheng Qiye's family suddenly passed away, the Queen Mother asked us if we wanted to change the day for the dust washing feast prepared for Sheng Qiye. β
Wu Changge smiled beside him: "In my opinion, there is no need to change it." It's just a concubine......"
Old Man Wu was holding a glass of white water in his hand. There was a rare look of Yan SΓΉ on his face, and he said, "It's better to postpone it for a month." I have to let his concubine serve after five or seven. β
Wu Changge looked away stupidly.
Zheng Suxin smiled: "Okay, you and the Queen Mother want to go together." β
So they agreed to set the date for the feast to be more than a month away.
For the sake of prudence, Old Man Wu even said. He wanted to go to Sheng Guogong's Mansion in person and set the date with Sheng Qi in person.
Their dust feast was held for Sheng Qi, and of course they had to take care of Sheng Qi's schedule.
Zheng Suxin's eyes were slightly condensed. TiyΓ¬ said: "Dad, why don't you let Changge go to the Shengguo Mansion?" He is the same age as Sheng Qiye. More talkative. β
Old Man Wu touched his bare head and laughed, "No, no, no." Changge is not even a prince, and Sheng Qi is a prince. That's disrespectful. I'll go for it. Although I'm older, I'm in the same position as Sheng Qi. β
Wu Changge was even more annoyed when he heard this, and glared at Old Man Wu hatefully.
Zheng Suxin gently held his hand and shook it.
Wu Changge suddenly felt that the chagrin in his heart had vanished, and he also shook Zheng Suxin's hand gratefully.
Zheng Suxin said again: "A few days ago, my mother said that she wanted to record Kun'er in my name, dad, you pick a day, and open the ancestral hall to give him a family tree." β
Old Man Wu smiled, nodded and said, "This is the right matter, let's do this first." He said to Wu Changge again: "Record Kun'er in the name of Frangipani, and you will have the eldest son, and I can also ask you to be crowned the son." You must remember to keep your duty, and don't spend a lot of money in the future! β
In a short period of time, Wu Changge's heart seemed to fall into the oil pan to fry first, and then put it in ice water, it was simply "ice and fire", and he was so excited that he couldn't speak.
Zheng Suxin glanced at him lightly and said in a low voice, "...... Idiot! β
Wu Changge woke up and saluted Old Man Wu with great joy, "Dad! I will definitely listen to you, save money, and don't spend a lot of money again! β
Old Man Wu laughed, waved them out, prepared his own carriage and horses, and went to the Shengguo Mansion in the north of the capital.
Zheng Suxin heard that Old Man Wu had gone to the Shengguo Mansion, and said to Wu Changge thoughtfully: "Changge, at that time, I asked you to ask your father to check whether the mother and daughter of the Wang family in Wangjia Village had anything to do with the Sheng family, and you said that you had checked it, and it didn't matter." But now ......"
Now it turns out that there is not only a relationship, but also a direct relationship.
Zheng Suxin didn't believe that with the power of the Wu family, there would be such an oolong thing.
Wu Changge believed his father's words and said, "Don't think about it anymore." So what? Isn't it? Anyway, you know everything. If you can't let you know, it's useless for you to ask. β
Zheng Suxin was so angry that her liver hurt.
β¦β¦
In the Shengguo Mansion, there was no big white hanging, but blue and white lanterns were hung in the inner courtyard, and a mourning hall was set up in the Cuizhu Xuan where Tu lived before his death.
Sheng Siyan went to Cuizhuxuan and saw that the three children born to the Tu family were crying there mournfully, and he couldn't bear it, so he only went to the pillar incense and came to the Yanyu Hall where the Wang family lived.
"What's wrong?" Wang saw Sheng Siyan walk in with a depressed face, hurriedly put down the medicine pestle in his hand, and came over to hold up her chin and take a closer look at her complexion.
Sheng Siyan said: "I just came back from Cuizhuxuan. β
Wang understood, she looked at Sheng Siyan and asked her, "What do you look like?" Relented? Aren't you amazing? β
Sheng Siyan was a little embarrassed, put his head into Wang's arms, and said sullenly: "Of course not." Tu is to blame, I just saw Ning Fang and them crying so sadly, and I was a little embarrassed. β
Wang sighed and stroked Sheng Siyan's head, "You, it's really good to forget the scar and forget the pain, you forgot that Ning Fang was going to push you under the car the first day she saw you?" β
"Do you remember?" Sheng Siyan grinned.
"Of course I do. Whoever wants to harm my daughter will not die well. Wang Shiyan said, and said to Sheng Siyan: "Everything really has to leave room for others, and this kindness cannot be lost." Even if you want to make a move, you have to give the other party a chance to choose. If the other party is killing themselves, then no one else can be blamed. And if the other party has a good heart, he will not go to a dead end at all. The so-called 'there is no way to bring good and evil, only people bring themselves to it'. β
That being said, but if men don't take concubines, women don't have to fight like black-eyed chickens.
Sheng Siyan sighed and said ruthlessly: "Mother, if I marry someone in the future, I must ask that person to agree not to take a concubine for the rest of my life, and I can't take a concubine if I have no children at forty!" β
