Seven or eight days later, Pei Lingniang came to visit again, but this time she came alone.

She met Qingrong and told her what had happened in the house in the past few days. Qingrong learned that now Pei Lingniang is in charge of all the affairs in Cui's mansion, but since she heard that the queen was happy, that Mrs. Li suddenly fell ill for some reason, saying that she would recuperate behind closed doors and no longer take care of things.

It's just that Pei Lingniang didn't seem to be very satisfied with this result, and sighed lightly: "It's a pity that she is an elder in the end, and there are people from the Li family behind her who stand up for her, so she can't really be treated like her." ”

Qingrong nodded and said with relief: "It's not that it's completely nothing, and Madame shouldn't be in a hurry." ”

Pei Lingniang nodded when she heard this, and said with emotion: "That's also because the queen is pregnant, this unexpected joy, otherwise it would be difficult... But to talk about this, it was really thanks to you and Zhonglang General that day, if the queen had any accidents... That's unimaginable, God forbid. ”

Qingrong also sighed, these things are really a coincidence.

Pei Lingniang suddenly smiled, "By the way, I also heard about Siniang and Linrang." ”

"Oh? What's up? Qingrong frowned slightly, did this Cui Chenyu make this matter public so quickly?

Pei Lingniang smiled even deeper, "Sanniang, don't hide it from me, Lin Rang told me and Ning Qian that he wanted to marry Siniang as his wife." Lin Rang and Ning Qian had a deep brotherly relationship, so they didn't choose to hide it from him. But don't worry, only my husband and wife know about this now, and we haven't told anyone else. ”

Qingrong smiled, "I see, but this matter has not yet been decided, who knows what will happen next?" ”

Pei Lingniang didn't think so, she said: "I also know who is leaving, since he has decided like this, he must have thought it through, and he must not be talking about it." ”

Qingrong just smiled and didn't say anything.

Seeing this, Pei Lingniang couldn't help but sigh: "It's not easy to say that it is not easy to come to Lai, he lost his father at a young age, and his mother also went a few years ago." Because Linrang's mother is hard and has a bad relationship with the clansmen, Linrang has also suffered a lot for this, and the marriage has been delayed again and again... Now that he is willing to start a family, Ning Qian and I are naturally happy for him. ”

Qingrong was curious, so he asked: "I have also seen him, he is polite and modest, and he is not like a person who will quarrel with his clansmen." ”

Pei Lingniang shook her head, "It's all about the elders, he's just an innocent person who was implicated." Linrang's mother is the step-room of the old county prince, and the lady in front is the sister of Ning Qian's stepmother, who gave birth to her first child and left a son. It's just that the child died of illness after a few years, and the mother-in-law thought that it was deliberately done by the mother, so she had been targeting their mother and son, and the mother was also fierce, and she had not dealt with her, and even the people of the clan did not like it... When I was not married, I had only heard about these things, and I didn't know much about them. But I've lived there for years, and I don't know what my mother-in-law is, and many things are just things she made up out of jealousy. ”

Qingrong was very emotional when he heard this, "There is such a thing? ”

She just watched the position of the county magistrate fall into the hands of others, and her heart was unfair. After letting her mother go, she changed her normal routine and wanted to pay attention to the marriage for Linrang, but Linrang's uncle's family did not follow and warned her not to interfere... She made up her mind to tarnish Linrang's reputation and ruin his marriage, so that he would have no children under his knees, and then if he wanted to pass from his brother's stepchildren, he would inherit his family fortune and title... It's just that Pity Linrang has no grievances and no hatred against him, and he has suffered many unjustified disasters in vain. ”

Qingrong couldn't help but be surprised, this Li family's mind was too vicious, "This is inevitably too much!" ”

Pei Lingniang nodded, "Ning Qian and I also look at her, but she is an elder in the end, she has raised children for the Cui family, and she has served mourning, so we can't do anything?" It's just that I hope Sanniang can rest assured that the person who is willing to let is reliable in his conduct, and he is a rare gentleman, and he is by no means such a weak and incompetent person with no responsibility. ”

When Qingrong heard this, he also knew a little in his heart, not only Pei Lingniang, but also Xue Shao said the same, it seems that this Cui Chenyu's character is indeed credible. It's just that if he can handle these things in the clan well, Qingrong still doesn't believe it, after all, she doesn't want Siniang to deal with those difficult clansmen in the back house all day after she really marries. But thinking of Siniang's intentions, Qingrong felt that she shouldn't have been beaten to death with a stick in this matter.

Shake and shake, and you still can't let go so easily on your face.

Qingrong nodded and smiled, and hesitated: "Madame has said so, then I naturally believe it, but now that Siniang is still in the palace, I think there is no need to rush these things." ”

"Linrang actually wanted to settle this matter for a long time, but I haven't been able to find the right time, and now my mother-in-law is too busy to take care of herself, but I'm afraid she won't be able to interfere in Linrang's affairs."

Qingrong didn't think so, the Li family has been married into the Cui family for decades, and those relationships are in it, even if she doesn't have the time to manage it at this time, what about the future? That Li family's mind is so vicious, if the abacus fails, he may not know how to deal with Siniang in the future!

Qingrong was embarrassed and sighed, "Madame naturally sympathizes with her husband's brothers, how can I not pity my sisters in my family?" We are all married women, how can we not know that it is not easy to live a stable life in this back house? ”

Pei Lingniang naturally understood what she meant, she smiled suddenly, and said: "Sanniang, you and I are destined, and our temperaments are similar, so I am willing to treat each other with sincerity." It's not that I haven't thought about it for you, of course you are worried that Siniang will not have a good time in the Cui family in the future, but this family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and a woman wants to get married, and she always has to face these things in the back house, but what kind of person the other party is, she always can't escape. Good luck is like you, mother-in-law is generous, concubine is harmonious, husband and wife are loving, and life is naturally smooth. What about the bad luck? Is this day over? ”

Qingrong didn't speak, and saw Pei Lingniang looking at her, her eyes were bright, and her tone also carried a fearless momentum, "Instead of looking forward and looking backwards, being timid, and not daring to try, it is better to be able to stand alone and establish your own place in the back house." ”

Pei Lingniang is naturally not a simple person, if she is a man, I am afraid that she is also a good hand for officials. Qingrong smiled heartily and said, "Madame has extraordinary knowledge, naturally she is not an ordinary person, nor is she comparable to others. ”

Pei Lingniang shook her head and smiled, "In my opinion, there is nothing bad about this marriage, Siniang is a high-ranking duchess when she marries, and she doesn't have to serve her in-laws, and she also likes her." This rich future, the affection of husband and wife, both, what's not bad? ”

Qingrong smiled: "It seems that Madame is here to be a lobbyist for Cui Langjun." ”

Pei Lingniang glanced at her and said, "If that's the case, I just told you so much with my heart and lungs?" ”

"Then I should thank Madame for her kindness."

Pei Lingniang said: "Linrang cares about your thoughts very much, and what I said today does have his meaning." But I'm not talking nonsense with my eyes open, and I hope you can rest assured. As for the elders of the two families, Lin Rang may ask the uncle of the Zheng family to come forward. He was thoughtful, and hoped that he would first ask you about the meaning of Ling Zun, and then talk about asking his uncle to come to the door to propose marriage. ”

Qingrong nodded and said, "I understand what Madame meant, thank you Madame." ”

It seems that he arranged this in an orderly manner... Since Siniang is her wish, then she, as a sister, naturally wants to help her.

……

On the tenth day of the lunar month, it was the time when officials were resting. Qingrong also took the time to go back to her parents' house, and also probed the tone of the Wang family and Lu Wenzhong, and asked them how they planned to marry Qingran.

Lu Wenzhong and Wang's marriage to Siniang is also similar to the previous plan for Qingrong, but this is just a plan. After all, the Lu family offended the Xie family before, and the future is unknown, in order to seek the protection of the Wei family, Siniang's marriage also asked the queen about the meaning of the queen, but this made Lu Wenzhong and the Wang family a little worried.

Qingrong informed his parents about Cui Chenyu and said, "If the queen agrees to his wishes, this marriage... I'm afraid that I have a settlement, I don't know what Grandpa and Auntie think? ”

Naturally, there were worries, but Wang asked again: "Siniang is really willing?" ”

Qingrong sighed lightly and nodded, "She dispelled her thoughts at that time because of the difference in family background, and after a while, the two of them discussed it again, Cui Chenyu came to Xue Mansion and told me that he wanted to marry Siniang as his wife, and it seems that he didn't just talk about it." The next thing is second, it still depends on what the grandmother thinks. ”

Lu Wenzhong shook his head, "Siniang has been there, and it is true that she is not wronged." Even if you and I plan for her a lot, if she doesn't want to, won't she be wronged? What's more, if you get married, you can't just look at the things of the housekeepers, you still have to look at the other party's personality, otherwise it is useless to have relatives in the family, no matter how good they are. Isn't that the case with the third brother of Changxuan? ”

Qingrong nodded, this is also true, "Since this is the case, then follow Siniang and fulfill her wishes, right?" ”

……

Qingrong naturally informed Pei Lingniang of this matter and asked her to tell Cui Chenyu. Because of their marriage, the two have been getting closer and closer recently.

Qingrong didn't hide this from Xue Shao, Xue Shao was a little surprised at first, but thinking about the strange things that Qingrong and Cui Chenyu had before, it seemed to make sense. It's just that he was still a little unhappy in his heart, he looked at Qingrong and snorted coldly, "You can hide it, just tell me now." ”

Qingrong smiled and said, "It's not that it's not decided, and I naturally can't say it." Now that it's decided, I won't tell you, I don't mean to hide it from you. ”

I don't know if he was too coaxing, but fortunately, he just wanted to deliberately bluff Qingrong, and soon that dissatisfaction disappeared in his heart. He nodded, mumbled.

Seeing that he still had no expression, Qingrong stepped forward and asked with a chuckle, "Annoyed?" ”

As soon as she approached, the tip of Xue Shao's nose was filled with a faint fragrance, and he naturally recognized that this was the smell of her bathing. He looked away quietly, thinking about something in his head, and shook his head, "No." ”

"Then you don't look happy?"

"If you kiss me, I'm naturally happy."

Qingrong looked at him, a little funny, but he still stepped forward and pecked him a few times on the lips, "How are you now?" ”
