Chapter 540: Grandmother's Advice
The next day of New Year's Day, Eleven Niang really got the Queen Mother to take the initiative to allow leave, the third year of the new year home, not too late to talk with the overjoyed Jiuniang, Liu Jin, the first thing is of course to go to see the parent, Mrs. Tai looked at the granddaughter in a new skirt, at this time has been Tingting Yuli, since childhood born under the thick black eyebrows, the corners of the eyes are more delicate, at this time did not look forward to much, the eyes are as quiet as before, when the ceremony is a slight smile on the lips, a small pear vortex is trapped, the demeanor is beautiful, after the ceremony raises her eyes, the smile will penetrate into the heart of the eyes, or shallow, if the clear wave is slightly rippling, But it is glittering, although it is not pretentious, it is more and less pleasing to the eye.
Mrs. Tai already doesn't remember what Jiang Ji looked like back then, but at this time, in her eyes, among several granddaughters, Eleven Niang's eyebrows and eyes are the most Xiao son, and because her two children are very similar in appearance, Eleven Niang is naturally like her daughter Ah Yun.
Only Ah Yun is so old, her temperament is as stubborn as her, and because of many twists and turns that do not meet her wishes, she has become more and more arrogant and lonely, and she does not have such calm and calm.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Tai's heart couldn't help but tingle.
It was she who ignored Ah Yun's flaws in temperament, did not solve them in time, and was unable to change her daughter's fate, so Ah Yun ...... Step by step, he pushed himself into a desperate situation, and ended up in such a sad end.
Because of the sadness of being touched by Eleven Niang, Mrs. Tai only took her granddaughter's hand for a while, and looked at it silently.
Eleven Niang is also looking at Mrs. Tai, but she hasn't seen her for a few months, and her sideburns seem to have added a lot of silver frost, and the wind marks of the years will inevitably get old, although there is fat powder to cover up, the haggard between her eyebrows and eyes is still more visible, and suddenly she saw the corners of Mrs. Tai's eyes wet red, and Eleven Niang was also shocked in her heart: "Big mother? ”
Mrs. Tai finally woke up from her memories, sighed, Jinpa touched the corners of her eyes, but there was a smile on her lips: "Yiyi is becoming more and more like your aunt." ”
Eleven Niang also knew that the death of the concubine was a big blow to Mrs. Tai, since that day, because of the sadness in her heart, her health has deteriorated, but how many major and trivial household chores in the clan are inseparable from Mrs. Tai's overall decision, and she is also blindly supporting, and in the long run, it is not conducive to health.
But every time Eleven Niang has the heart to persuade her, Mrs. Tai always talks about him left and right, just like this today.
Even after sighing that sentence, without waiting for Eleven Niang to explain, she had already diverted the topic: "I knew that as long as the words on Chinese New Year's Eve reached the ears of the Queen Mother, she would definitely let you return home, the Queen Mother, just can't see that my life is comfortable, and always wants to block me." ”
This was a little longer, and the careful Eleven Niang heard that Mrs. Tai's breath seemed to be unstable, and asked worriedly: "Eldest mother is feeling unwell?" ”
"I was sick in the moon, and I will get better, so I miss our Yiyi more and more, and the words on Chinese New Year's Eve are what I deliberately said in public, the Queen Mother should think that there is a Seventh Niang in the middle to provoke, I am more and more dissatisfied with you, she wants to fall into the well, but I can't think of just letting me get my wish." Mrs. Tai saw that Eleven Niang was quite worried about her body, and she also secretly complained that she was in a state of turmoil just now, and showed a sad face in front of her granddaughter, so she deliberately eased the atmosphere by ridiculing the queen mother.
"The eldest mother can be well born, why not let the child listen to the pulse?" At this time, Shi Niang was familiar with medical skills, and she memorized a lot of secret recipes contained in Jin Kui's suicide note, so she had to diagnose Mrs. Tai's pulse.
But she was stopped by Mrs. Tai and asked her to sit next to her, but smiled and comforted: "It's just a little cold, and I'm old, this is inevitable, Yimo is worried, the eldest mother is fine, the eldest mother has not waited for Wei Haichi to deserve the day, and she is reluctant to swallow this breath." She has no more hope in this life, but she must live longer than Wei Haichi, she has to see that the woman's reputation is ruined, and she has to wait for Wei Haichi to die, and she can only smile at Jiuquan.
"Yiyi, in the blink of an eye, you have also grown into a big girl." The old grandmother caressed the little granddaughter's sideburns with pity: "I still remember that when you returned to Beijing at the age of five, you were a little older than a child, but your bearing was calm and calm. ”
"Yiyi can have today, all because of the kindness and protection of his relatives." Eleven Niang's words came from the heart, and she never forgot that when she was first reborn, when she knew that she had become the concubine of the Liu family, she had all kinds of scruples and uneasiness at first, if it were not for Mrs. Tai's grandmother and Xiao's mother-in-law, who were to take care of her, it would inevitably add more difficulties and obstacles, and her journey would not be as smooth sailing as it is now.
Mrs. Tai's decision to assist King Jin is of course because of the old grudge with Wei Haichi, and the factor of Concubine Liu, but leaving aside these two items, Mrs. Tai does have feelings for the Pei family, and she can't bear to see the Pei family sink their grievances, and even feel ashamed of failing to protect Aunt Pei in the first place.
Although the Pei Liu family is in-law, but Uncle Liu is not Mrs. Tai's own family, Mrs. Tai can redress the grievances of the Pei Zheng family and Zhaoxue at the expense of being sinister, which is indeed a deep sense of righteousness.
"A lot of things have happened in the court recently, you have to analyze with your father and Aya again, I am anxious to see you, just for one ......" Mrs. Tai also ended her sigh in time and talked about the topic: "The King of Jin is gradually approaching the crown, you and Ying'er have also reached the age of marriage, the Queen Mother has no excuse to delay the marriage of King Jin, this matter will be decided at the end of the year at the latest!" Recently, as far as I have observed, Ying'er seems to be moving around a lot with King Jin, and I was very worried at first...... You also know that your aunt and grandmother, although there is also a gap with the Queen Mother, but it has always been a dispute of righteousness, many things, she can't do it, even Ying'er, when she is old, your aunt and grandmother can't restrain her, if Ying'er is the princess of Jin, it will be harmful to the overall situation, but I thought about it later, how can King Jin be so unsuccessful? is close to Ying'er, this should be the intention of King Jin. ”
Eleven Niang sincerely admired: "The eldest mother is Mingjian." ”
"So, Yi Yi and King Jin have been open and honest?" Although Mrs. Tai has been planning for Eleven Niang to be the princess of Jin for a long time, her identity is ambiguous, if she has frequent contacts with the King of Jin, it will inevitably arouse the suspicion of the Queen Mother, and even with the nephew surnamed Liu, it is inconvenient to have too close contact with the King of Jin, so she has no chance to have a private conversation with He Ye, and the contact and negotiation matters have always relied on Eleven Niang and He Zhan and Lu Li as a link, but the matter of marriage can not let Eleven Niang, the daughter of the boudoir, speak by herself, so Mrs. Tai is still considering whether to entrust He Zhan or Lu Li when the time comes, Unexpectedly, Eleven Niang had already discussed with King Jin one step in advance and joined forces to dig a pit for Xie Ying.
Although she didn't blame Eleven Niang for being rude, Mrs. Tai inevitably felt stunned.
Eleven Niang also reacted immediately, she is still waiting to be married, and she seems to be too active and inconsistent with her consistent temperament, so she had to tell Xiao Xiaojiu's whole story.
Mrs. Tai suddenly laughed, rubbed her forehead and said, "I didn't expect Your Highness to misunderstand you and Xiao Jiu......"
Not to mention the misunderstanding, he even instigated Xiao Jiu to invite Eleven Niang to elope, these children are too impulsive!
However, Mrs. Tai thought about it for a while, and felt very comforted: "Your Royal Highness is grateful for the sincerity of our family's service, so that you don't remember the benefits and the beauty of adults, your aunt really didn't look away back then, King Jin is indeed affectionate and righteous, I hope he can realize his ambitions, Da Zhou, I need a Renming Emperor too much!" ”
After thinking carefully about the consequences of Xie Ying's behavior, Mrs. Tai bowed her head again and again: "This plan is very proper, the Queen Mother is suspicious, and she will not be happy to see the King of Jin and his wife in harmony. ”
"Everything depends on the mother's instructions." This is also from the bottom of my heart, Eleven Niang is actually not familiar with the Empress Dowager Wei, when she first entered the palace, she only knew that Wei Haichi was benevolent and poisonous, if it weren't for Mrs. Tai's careful advice to this half-sister to the habit of the city, Eleven Niang did not have the confidence to really be able to win the trust of the Queen Mother and gradually gain respect.
"But Yiyi, His Royal Highness the King of Jin certainly values affection and righteousness, but if one day he can really be in the position of Ninety-Five, it is inevitable that the harem will not be full of concubines, you ......" Mrs. Tai said here for a moment, and couldn't help but sigh: "As a woman, who is willing to be caught in intrigue for a long time?" If you only marry a noble child, although it is inevitable that your husband will take a concubine, but the etiquette is above, and the concubine does not dare to be too provocative. ”
Eleven Niang understands what Mrs. Tai is worried about, ordinary aristocratic families, even if they accept concubines, there are very few things that can be concubines as wives, and the concubines compete for favor, at most, it is only for some small profits, so most of them will not murder their wives, and the sinister will be reduced a lot, but the harem is not like that, the emperor is above the etiquette law, from ancient times to the present, I don't know how many incidents of taking concubines as wives have occurred, and even Zhou Wuzong, which can be described as a benevolent monarch through the ages, but also because of the abandonment of the Yuan Empress because of the favored concubines, many harem concubines are of noble birth, There is also the hope of seizing the main palace, and the fierce struggle is a hundred times more tragic than the aristocratic back house, even if He Ye is in love and will not spoil the concubine and kill his wife in the future, she must also guard against the endless treacherous conspiracy of those concubines, you need to know that even if the queen will not be abandoned by the emperor, but once she dies, the queen will also vacate the throne, and she will not die in the conspiracy in her last life?
In the eyes of many women, this is not a happy destination, Mrs. Tai is far-sighted, not those shallow people who only want to be rich and noble, and they really cherish Eleven Niang, if it is not forced by the situation, it is decisive that the granddaughter will not be sent to the magnificent splendid cage.
"Yiyi, the luck of a woman, in fact, is not in the glory and wealth, but in the old man with a confidant, if you are born in the rule of the prosperous age, the elder will also be like the seventh mother, for you to choose a slightly lower gentle son, Qin Se harmony and tranquility, the eldest mother often regrets, you are so smart, but because of this you have to bear the hardships." Mrs. Tai felt very guilty: "It's hard for you." ”
Eleven Niang said: "The seventh sister doesn't feel happy now, eldest mother, people may have their own fixed numbers in this life, Yiyi was not born in the world, and is destined not to be quiet, but she is very fortunate to still have the ability to contribute to the peace and security of the monarch and the family." ”
"You can not only foresee the future, but also face it calmly, the eldest mother also believes that you have your own plans, the eldest mother may not be able to help you a lot, only a promise, no matter what the future situation is, Jing Zhaoliu will become a help behind you, we are always your family, a line of solidarity, no matter when, you will not lose shelter to fight the enemy alone, remember not to forget."
Eleven Niang understands the weight of this promise, and she also sees a lot of families for the sake of Ronghua, sending her daughter into the splendid cage, relying on her daughter to enjoy wealth and nobility, but once the relationship and interests survive, there is no family relationship at all, and there is more ruthlessness that only wants to protect herself and cut off her flesh and bones, as a woman, she can't complain, because in front of the family, any personal selfishness is not worth mentioning.
Therefore, she bowed solemnly and took Mrs. Xie's golden promise.
"If the King of Jin is really determined to go to the domain, then the crisis in Jinshuo is a great opportunity." Mrs. Tai helped Eleven Niang up, and said again: "If everything goes well, you Xu will go to Hedong with the King of Jin, your family is far away, don't forget to take care of your life." ”
Mrs. Tai is not without sentimentality, this time, if you succeed, you will return, and if you lose, you will die, and I don't know when I will be able to reunite my flesh and bones, and whether I can still be reunited.
Eleven Niang was about to be relieved, and Mrs. Tai held her wrist tightly: "Before Yan'er went out with the army, I had already told him that if the king of Jin was defeated, I would leave Silla with you...... You two brothers and sisters, may be the only bloodline of Jing Zhaoliu, if the fortune is so really a big disaster, remember not to be righteous and use the love of children and daughters, to save your life! ”
