Chapter 286: What?!
Xie Songhua saluted her according to the rules, and then sat on the side under the instructions of the old lady.
"That day back from the suburbs of Beijing, our little county king always mentioned the four girls, a good girl's upbringing, the queen mother and the princess did not give up, over the years, the old body is also a little honorable, the little county king is the old body watched grow up, thinking that it is rare for him to take a serious look at a girl, so he also helped to speak, this is why our little county king recklessly came to the house."
The old lady hurriedly said humbly: "The dragon and phoenix among the people of the little county king, he is straightforward, and he is not reckless."
On such an occasion, there is no room for Xie Songhua to intervene, even if it is her marriage that is being discussed.
The two elderly women set the tone of the conversation at the moment.
"It's not a secret, about the princess of the little county king, our eldest princess, including the saint, has other plans, but it's not time yet, it's not good to publicize it, the villain's family, I don't know the importance of this, so I dare to come to the door to talk nonsense, and when I went back that day, the princess knew about it, and she was really shocked.
That night, he called him to reprimand him well, who knew that this child had aroused a rebellious mentality, and he wanted to run to the palace to let the saint be the master, alas, this child is older, and it is really difficult to do, but fortunately, although the saint loves him, he did not let him be in that way."
The smile on the old lady's face was a little unbearable, this meaning was very clear, neither the eldest princess nor the saint would agree to let Xie Songhua marry into the eldest princess's mansion as the princess of the county.
Mama Zhao didn't seem to see the old lady's expression, and continued: "But the children of other families like ours are all pampered and raised, especially the little county king, in this world, how can there be anything he can't get?
It's really a lot of trouble, there is no way, the old body thought, relying on my old face in Beijing is quite good, I specially invite Ying to come over and take a look, the old lady will not feel buried!"
"Where do you start?" The old lady hurriedly gathered her spirits and said with a smile, "Mama Zhao is a distinguished guest who can't be invited by our people, and we are looking forward to coming sooner or later!"
"In that case, the old body won't go around the bend," Mama Zhao showed an almost happy smile on her face, and suddenly wondered, "Why don't you see the second wife?" It stands to reason that on such an occasion, the mother of the fourth girl should also be present."
When these words were said, the faces of the people present were a little embarrassed, Xie Shuhua's matter has been spread by everyone, she was raised by the Qi family, why is she not on such an important occasion now, after a little thought, you can understand.
Mama Zhao is clearly giving the Xie family a dismount.
The old lady said lightly, "My daughter-in-law's health has not been very good in the past two days."
"Ah! I see," Mama Zhao still smiled, so she continued her words, "Last night, our eldest princess and the old body summed it up, this is the concubine...... Our girl is probably not very suitable, but our little county king is a relative of Yudie, and according to the rules, there are two side concubines, but they can still be discussed, what do you think?"
Xie Songhua sat aside, and when Mama Zhao was talking to the old lady, it seemed as if she couldn't see her at all.
She couldn't help but tighten the chair on the side, and her face tensed.
Side concubine?
After all, isn't she just a concubine?
She has no grudges with the eldest princess's mansion, and she has never thought of climbing their family, why do they have such a face and come here to open their mouths like alms with the position of a side concubine?
Xie Songhua has seen the appearance of those aunts setting rules in front of the Qi family, and he also knows from the mouths of Aunt Lan and others how low the status of concubines in this era is.
If she really marries into the eldest princess's mansion and becomes a concubine, I am afraid that sooner or later one day she will be angry to death.
The old lady glanced at her at this time and coughed lightly.
Xie Songhua immediately understood that the old lady was telling her not to be impatient.
"I think the eldest princess is also a heart of love for her son, we are all families with children, so naturally we all want to give our children the best things, but if they have anything to want, they can give it, they will definitely give it."
"That's not it!" Although Mama Zhao responded like this, the smile in her eyes was gone.
The old lady immediately continued: "It's just that the eldest princess may not know that our family is also very doting on children, for example, my granddaughter, although she has been living abroad since she was a child, and she has not been back for a long time, but the house has not been slow at all.
On the contrary, because she has endured hardships for many years, she always feels indebted in her heart, and I just hope that she can live peacefully and happily in the future, and my granddaughter is also well-behaved and pragmatic, and she has never had those lofty thoughts, she ......."
Speaking of this, the old lady smiled lightly at Xie Songhua, "I just want to marry a down-to-earth offspring and live a small life in peace!"
As if he hadn't noticed that the smile on Mama Zhao's face had disappeared, he continued, "Those of us who are elders, can't even satisfy her with this little little wish? I have already agreed in private that I want to take a good look at her for her!
The honor and wealth of the Eldest Princess's Mansion, how many people are looking at it! It is not a blessing to give birth to my granddaughter, the little county king was brought up by his grandmother, and he was taught by the gentleman in the small palace, so he is naturally a sensible child, but the young man has a heart, which may require his mother to take a lot of trouble to persuade the little county king."
The old lady said one sentence after another, and there was no room for the other party to object.
Mama Zhao's face became more and more ugly, and when the old lady finished speaking, a layer of frost had condensed between her eyebrows and eyes, and she snorted coldly and said, "The Xie family doesn't look down on the position of our county king's side concubine?"
The old lady's expression did not change, and she said lightly, "It's our four girls who can't climb high."
The expression on Mama Zhao's face became more and more ugly, she picked up the teacup, took a sip, and suddenly put it down with a "sonorous", and her tone became hard, "When it comes to this, I won't beat around the bend."
What is the situation of your Xie family now, you yourself should know best, that is, in the past, it was already an honor for the fourth girl from the countryside in your house to be able to take the position of our side concubine.
Now that such a thing has happened, that is, those ordinary people may not be willing to want your girl, if it weren't for the little prince who likes it so much, and in order not to hurt the face of the two families, I persuaded in front of the princess and took the initiative to take this matter.
Who would have thought that you knew that you couldn't climb high, and now handed you this ladder, and you didn't climb up along the way, it's really boring to take Zhang as Qiao like this."
Unexpectedly, she spoke so explicitly, pointing directly at Xie Shuhua, the old lady was suddenly so angry that her face flushed, and before she could speak, she coughed first.
Xie Songhua didn't care about the so-called rules and etiquette, so he hurriedly got up and walked over, holding the old lady's arm, "Mama Zhao, I'm from the countryside, and it's only been more than a year since I arrived in Beijing.
But these people invited are naturally not comparable to Mama's attainments in this area, I would like to ask Mama Zhao, this specially ran to other people's homes, and rushed to the ground to ask other people's girls to be concubines, where are you learning the rules?" z.br>
Xie Songhua has been silent from beginning to end, Mama Zhao seems to have really forgotten her, and she was robbed by her at this time, and she was a little confused for a while.
She hadn't finished her words, "Since Mama understands the rules so well, don't you know that the rules are taught to your own children by the elders, if your own children don't understand the rules and break the rules of other people's families, the first thing, shouldn't you come to the door with your own unsuccessful person to apologize first?"
Mama said that the eldest princess's mansion looks down on our girl, why did you come to the door like this, it seems that our Xie family has never been to the eldest princess's mansion to ask for anything, right? Or does Mama think that because you have served the old queen mother, you can bully the court women at will? Does the Holy One know that you have ruined the reputation of the Empress Dowager so much?"
"...... you" Mama Zhao had never been so rude, she pointed at Xie Songhua's nose and scolded, "What are you?!"
Xie Songhua sneered: "Mama is a funny question, you came to my house and made my grandmother angry like this? Instead, ask me what it is? How? Don't you know whose door you go to?"
