At the same time, Chu Liangrao also thought of the snipe and clam competing for the fisherman's profit.
No matter who carries the black pot this time, there is no doubt that the beneficiary is destined to be the emperor.
But it stands to reason that such a foolish thing should not be something that a ruler can do, so could it really be the queen's handiwork? But sooner or later, the country will be the prince's, why would the queen give up the territory to others?
As for the prime minister, Chu Liangrao doesn't know about it, so she can't assert it at will.
Seeing that Chu Liangrao seemed to have thought of something, Zhou's mother asked, "What did the county lord come up with?" ”
Chu Liangrao shook her head and said, "I just think there are too many strange things about this matter, which makes people feel incredible." ”
Zhou's mother, who also thought so, also nodded, and at the same time told Chu Liangrao the details she heard one by one.
Regarding the official position in Zhou's mother's mouth, Chu Liangrao has only heard about it, but she still noticed some clues, thought about it, and asked, "Mom has gone to the palace to ask?" ”
After being stunned for a moment, Zhou's mother said, "It's negligent." ”
Chu Liangrao said: "You will work hard again tomorrow." ”
"Yes." After listening to the order, Zhou's mother retreated.
And Chu Liangrao instructed people to prepare a hot soup bath, and after soaking in the bath, Chu Liangrao's refreshing 'spirit' on her body was also a little better, she walked to the desk and picked up the pen to write a letter, pressed it on the table, and sent it out at dawn the next day.
In the next few days, Chu Liangrao spent the next few days waiting for news, and she couldn't take care of the potted plants sent by Princess Yinhua.
Can she not understand what her own county lord is thinking, how long has it been since she got married, and the county master has gone out, and now this kind of thing is coming out again, can you not worry? If the county horse really has three long and two short, I am afraid that the county lord will also have some bad messages at that time, and when the filial piety period is over, I am afraid that it will be difficult to marry again.
For this reason, the worried Du's mother prayed to the sky every day, hoping that Huo Tainan could come back safely.
The entire Huo Mansion seemed to be shrouded in dark clouds, but none of the subordinates were dissatisfied, let alone a word of rumor that was not good for Chu Liangrao. If she was put in an ordinary person's house, I was afraid that she would have been said to be Kefu.
Chu Liangrao couldn't help but sigh, how much thought did it take to make his subordinates respect him so much.
Feeling Huo Tainan's goodness, Chu Liangrao's thoughts became more and more intense.
Just waiting like this, Chu Liangrao also felt bored, so she listened to Du's mother's opinion and took a few people to the temple to worship. The temple I went to this time was naturally not the humble temple I met Xiao Mingyue last time, I burned incense and donated sesame oil money, so Chu Liangrao sincerely knelt in front of the futon and made a wish.
When she got up, she happened to see an acquaintance who was also combed into a 'woman' head, and this person was Aunt Lu, who she hadn't seen for a long time. I saw Aunt Lu with a big belly, supported by her subordinates with one hand, and supporting her waist with the other, and it was extremely difficult to give Chu Liangrao a salute.
Seeing that she was full of red face, she didn't seem to have suffered any grievances, Chu Liangrao secretly thought: I didn't expect Zhang Zixuan to be a 'prodigal' son again, and she was willing to treat the people around her well.
Seeing Chu Liangrao's indifferent expression, Aunt Lu said again: "The county lord also came to offer incense?" ”
"Hmm." Chu Liangrao responded.
Aunt Lu 'touched' her belly, and said with a smile: "I don't know what the county lord is asking for?" ”
Looking at Aunt Lu's flattering smiling face, Chu Liangrao didn't have the heart to say hello, and only asked where the host was, saying that she wanted to discuss Buddhism.
Seeing Chu Liangrao not giving face like this, Aunt Lu couldn't help but pout, what's the big deal, she has to be a widow and come out to 'show' her face. However, when she saw Chu Liangrao, she also thought of the fact that she almost married into the palace, and her hand 'touching' her stomach stopped.
The maid on the side reminded: "Auntie, hurry up and go back with incense, it's not too early." ”
"What's wrong with this delay?" Aunt Lu glanced at the person beside her and said, "This incense can be about sincerity, if you neglect the Buddha, can you afford it?" ”
After a sneer, the maid said, "What my aunt said is true." ”
'touched' and 'touched' her stomach again, Aunt Lu said: "My mother said that I must be a son in my belly, and I am just here to ask the Buddha to open his eyes so that he can get ahead in this autumn." ”
"Auntie is really considerate of the second master."
In the face of flattery, Aunt Lu smiled even more cheerfully.
After putting on the incense, she got into the carriage and went home.
On the way, he heard the sound of horses' hooves, and the coachman stopped the car and waited for the car to pass. Aunt Lu was dissatisfied and asked, "It's so decent, what are you going to do when you stop, can such a wide road hit someone?" ”
"Auntie, now that you are double, it is better to be cautious." The mother-in-law who served said.
Hearing this, Aunt Lu had nothing to say, so she had to disperse with a handkerchief, as if she wanted to disperse the unhappiness in her heart. Raising her hand to lift the corner of the curtain, she said impatiently, "Why don't you leave?" ”
At this moment, Aunt Lu only felt a strong wind sweeping, and as soon as there was a 'flower' in front of her, she hurriedly squinted her eyes, for fear of entering the sand. After the sound of horses' hooves passed, she picked up a handkerchief and dipped it in her tears and said, "Who is this past, why are you so reckless?" ”
The coachman hesitated for a moment and said, "If you go back to your aunt, it is the county lord of Ning'an who has just passed." ”
Hearing this, Aunt Lu stopped moving, and couldn't help but wonder in her heart, what is there to make the always steady Ning'an County Lord run like this, is it possible...... A thought rose in her heart, and Aunt Lu urged: "Hurry, hurry back home." ”
"Yes!"
Although the driver responded simply, the speed of the car was still unhurried.
Aunt Lu only felt impatient, urged again and again, and finally got up to reprimand the coachman.
I didn't know that one of them didn't stand firmly, and his body was crooked, but fortunately, the maid on the side was clever, and he was busy making a 'meat' pad with his body, so he was fine. And the mother-in-law in the carriage was already frightened, and after finally stabilizing her mind, she hurriedly asked Aunt Lu if there was anything wrong.
Aunt Lu, who was also startled, shook her head, and didn't dare to say anything urging, you must know that what is in this stomach is her future security, and now this news is going to be transmitted, but this belly must also be protected. Thinking about it, she sat down properly, but there was a pain in her lower abdomen.
Aunt Lu, who was flustered, forced her composure, for fear that the people who served in the carriage would see the clues.
As soon as the carriage stopped at the 'door' of Zhang's house, the maid with a keen sense of smell smelled a fishy smell, and Aunt Lu grabbed her hand with a snow-white face, and said profusely: "Go and ask for a midwife!" Just go! ”
Hearing this, the mother-in-law hurriedly opened her skirt, only to see the blood under her body flowing down the 'pants' and 'legs', and it looked very terrible.
If this is really giving birth, where will it be like this, the mother-in-law is up and down in her heart, for fear of being affected, so she went to the lady to deliver the message without saying a word. Knowing that Aunt Lu was not good, Mrs. Zhang was not ambiguous, and after a while, she invited a midwife and a doctor, and asked her subordinates to go in and pass a message to Aunt Lu, saying that she should relax and have already sent someone to find Zhang Zixuan.
Knowing that Zhang Zixuan went out of the house again, Aunt Lu's face became whiter, and she said through the screen: "Please also ask my mother to serve a snack, after all, this belly is also your grandson, you don't want your grandson to see his father at first sight, right?" ”
This seemed to accuse Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Zhang sneered in her heart, and said secretly: It's just a concubine, and you dare to say that it's my grandson? I don't look at how many pounds and taels I have, I don't think I'm optimistic about my stomach, and I still have my face splashing here.
At that moment, Mrs. Zhang comforted her with a few words of relief, and she left here.
Zhang Zixuan was originally a concubine, and Aunt Lu was a concubine, at this time, the main mother did not come forward, and Mrs. Zhang was only doing verbal work, which made her feel even more uncomfortable. But soon she didn't have time to think about it anymore, and the sharp pain made her almost faint, and in the end, she fainted directly.
At this time, Mrs. Zhang was drinking tea slowly and methodically, and asked the mother-in-law who went online with Aunt Lu.
The mother-in-law looked sincere, but her mind was flexible, and she said: "My aunt is careless on weekdays, and it is the same when she goes out of the 'door' today, and she is not honest when she sits in the car, so something happened to her move." ”
"Oh?" Mrs. Zhang put down the tea and said, "Then you should persuade you well, Aunt Lu is young and ignorant, how can she know the serious 'sex' of the consequences, this child is closed from the ghost 'door', or if you are not careful, it will be a matter of human life." ”
Hearing what Mrs. Zhang said seriously, the mother-in-law hurriedly made a grievance and said, "The old slave has not been persuaded anywhere, but the aunt has not listened to anything." After thinking about it, she said, "When my aunt saw the county lord, she looked restless, as if she had something on her mind. ”
"County Lord?" Mrs. Zhang's brows frowned slightly, and she asked, "Which county lord is it?" ”
"Mrs. Hui's words, it is the county lord of Ning'an, and I met the county lord when my aunt was incense today, but I don't know what happened, the county lord rode away in a hurry, and my aunt saw the county lord after seeing this appearance." After pushing the responsibility clean, the mother-in-law lowered her head and said no more.
Mrs. Zhang's heart was full of twists and turns, and she secretly wondered if Aunt Lu knew something?
Seeing that Mrs. Zhang's face was becoming more and more unkind, the mother-in-law hurriedly kowtowed and said: "Madam, the old slave really persuaded the aunt, but the aunt didn't listen to the order, and the old slave couldn't help it." ”
"Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who is indiscriminate." Mrs. Zhang said generously, "You also know that I, as a mother, have always persuaded Xuan'er to be obedient, but how could he ever listen to me?" Hearing this, the mother-in-law relieved herself and said, "Madame is bothered. "Hey, don't bother to say anything, you see, it's all this time, Xuan'er doesn't know how to come back and take a look." Mrs. Zhang's face was embarrassed, "The people who sent it out don't know if they have found anyone." ”
