Chapter 52: Tearing the face
"That granddaughter just got into the carriage, and she was not happy to see it."
Bixue came in from outside, looking worried, "But the girl has offended others?" ”
"She's the way she looks!"
Wei Xiangjun wiped his forehead, his palms were full of cold sweat,
"What's wrong with the girl?"
Bi Xue looked at Wei Xiangjun.
Wei Xiangjun looks like this time, and he can't see anywhere.
took advantage of living one more life than others, Wei Xiangjun really thought that everything could be mastered. Now that I think about it, she was clever enough to push herself to the edge of the cliff.
Bi Xue looked out of the house, "When that granddaughter came over, she bombed us all outside, could it be that something happened again?" ”
"Nothing, the futon is thicker, go back and change it for me!"
Wei Xiangjun said perfunctorily, afraid that Bixue would ask, so he simply got out of bed, "Help me comb my hair, I'll go to the front to take a look." ”
Sitting in front of the dressing table, Wei Xiangjun looked in the mirror and unconsciously stroked his forehead.
If she is unlucky, because Fengyi Palace has been convicted, I don't know if she will be blackened again.
Wei Xiangjun will never forget that scene. She was tied to the execution table, scorched by a soldering iron, howling desperately like a trapped beast.
"Girl, look at this ......"
Bixue spoke again.
Wei Xiangjun raised his eyes, and Bixue in the mirror was holding a jade pendant.
"The water is good, I haven't seen it, Shi Niang bought it?"
Most of Wei Xiangjun's gold and silver jewelry was left by Grandma Wei. In addition, it was Mrs. Zheng who bought it for her.
"The girl last month was outside, didn't she ask people to come back and get the silver? The account room couldn't be moved for a while, so I remembered that Chang Fu had brought two hundred taels of silver in front of him, and he had been collecting it from us. ”
Wei Xiangjun took a second look, and finally saw the vivid hibiscus clearly.
"After the silver was delivered, it was never opened. When I opened it, I found that there was still a jade pendant inside. ”
"Or misplaced, when you see Chang Fu, remember to return it to him."
Bi Xue hesitated for a long time and said, "Chang Fu said that this silver was given to the girl by Xu Qi." ”
Wei Xiangjun rolled his eyelids, "Why did he give it to me?" On the same day, I fell off Wangfeng Ridge and promised to give a reward of two hundred taels of silver. The surname Xu pretended to be Qinggao, and he had to return it. ”
Wei Xiangjun was upset enough, but he didn't expect Xu Qiming to be there, and he could add a block to her.
"Why did he give him a jade pendant?"
Bi Xue asked tightly, "Could it mean something else?" ”
"Whatever he means, just pay it back!"
There seems to be someone outside.
Mrs. Zheng went back to her parents' house today, and there was only Granny Guo behind her ears in the yard, Bixue put down the jade pendant and hurriedly went out.
Wei Xiangjun sat steadily, and his eyes unconsciously fell on the jade pendant again.
After screwing for a long time, Wei Xiangjun picked up the jade pendant and threw it into the jewelry box on the table, and then he didn't bother to stuff the things to the bottom layer.
When Wei Xiangjun finally felt comfortable, Bixue also returned to the house, "Girl, the old lady of Dongfu asked someone to pass the word and let the girl go over here." ”
After thinking about it for a while, Wei Xiangjun ordered, "Arrange the carriage!" ”
Wei Xiangjun hadn't set foot in Dongfu for a while.
Although they are all descendants of the Wei family, some people only have their own future in their hearts. Whoever dares to stand in the way, the knife in their hand is faster than the person outside.
Of course, Wei Xiangjun didn't want to tear his face with the Hou Mansion of Hanxiang, the grasshopper on a rope couldn't fight first before the foreign enemy arrived.
Last time, the old lady had a birthday, although Wei Xiangjun didn't go, the ceremony was on.
As for the old lady, occasionally send someone over to say hello.
Everyone just wants to get by on face.
Suddenly came to look for it today, Wei Xiangjun didn't expect it.
In the flower hall in the back garden of Dongfu, in the chirping of a group of female dependents, Wei Xiangjun stepped forward and saluted.
The old lady complained lovingly: "Sister Xiang hasn't been here for a few days. Your father is out now, and there is no one in Xifu, so he should have moved around a lot. If he knows that you are not close to us, he is afraid that he will blame the old man for not taking good care of him. ”
"A few days ago, I went far away, and Xiangjun planned to come to you when I came back, but it happened that the old lady happened to think of me."
Wei Xiangjun said polite words to him.
"It's good to come, a family, we don't pay so much attention to it."
As soon as Wei Xiangjun entered the flower hall, the old lady with scrutiny in his eyes seemed to be happy.
Someone coldly interjected, "The eldest girl is now out of breath and has learned to speak." Who doesn't know that you have a face in front of the queen's mother, and you have long since stopped taking our Hanxiang Marquis Mansion in your eyes. ”
There is a reason why Qiu can't always help upright, and he speaks regardless of the occasion.
Wei Xiangjun smiled slightly.
In this room, there are always people with weak hearts, and there is no need for her to be as knowledgeable as Qiu.
"Go down!"
The old lady really opened her mouth, "Who let her in?" The old body can't afford this waiter! ”
Qiu's face changed, but he was still not convinced, "Wei Xiangjun ran to the official mansion to sue his father, not to mention that Uncle Heng lost his official, and even Master Hou was almost implicated." She is guilty of unfilial piety and disrespect. The concubine is just a few words for the Hou Ye. ”
The old lady was suddenly angry, "Where did we get this rule in our house, and the slave and maid also taught the master a lesson?" But Master Hou thinks that the old body has lived too long, so he deliberately supports the concubine to say something indiscreet? ”
His arms could never twist his thighs, and Qiu retreated almost in embarrassment.
The excitement of Dongfu had nothing to do with her, an outsider, and Wei Xiangjun stood silently beside her.
After the atmosphere was cold for a while, a woman standing behind the old lady laughed, "Can the old lady see that our sister Xiang is a little different?" ”
This is the Xue family, the daughter-in-law of the governor of Dongfu, who can speak quite well in front of the old lady.
"I didn't see it. Even if it's different, she's my great-granddaughter! ”
The old lady's expression was slightly relaxed.
Grandma Xue pointed at Wei Xiangjun, "This girl looks tanned a lot, and her little face is also red." It's also enviable, her daughter-in-law is half a year older than her, and she hasn't even seen the gate of Hengyang. ”
Ordered someone to take the Western glasses, and the old lady really looked at Wei Xiangjun for a long time, and finally shook his head, "It's the daughter of the Hou Mansion." Although we don't prohibit girls from showing their heads here, it's always hard to leave home. It's just that this child has his own father, and the master and his mother are in charge, and my old woman can't talk much. ”
"The lesson of the old lady, Xiangjun always remembers it in his heart. My master is old and has no children or daughters, so I always need to help more. And my father, he is alone, his salary is meager, and he is a man who does not understand mundane affairs, and I don't earn more money to help, he is only afraid that he will starve to death. ”
"Dongheng is also blessed to have your daughter."
The old lady sighed lightly, and suddenly changed the topic, "How is the queen mother now?" ”
Wei Xiangjun only smiled slightly, but did not answer.
The privacy of the nobles of the royal palace naturally cannot be discussed at will. I don't know how the old lady, who has always been shrewd, forgot this rule.
The old lady quickly came back to her senses, cleared her throat, and said, "You can enter the palace now to wait, and you should do your best." But in the palace, it's not as good as at home, there are some things that can be hidden, so let's avoid it! You may feel that the old body is afraid of being implicated, so you can teach such a lesson. Speaking from the heart, you are the descendants of the old body, how can I not hope that everyone will be safe? ”
Although he has a lot of dissatisfaction with Dongfu in his heart, Wei Xiangjun also knows that the old lady has a sentence that is right - there are some things that you have to hide if you can.
It's a pity that she only came to her senses at this time.
"Old lady, Mrs. Gao's carriage is parked outside!"
A servant woman came in to give her a report.
I don't know where it is sacred, the old lady got up from his seat and wanted to go out to greet him in person.
At this time, Wei Xiangjun and Grandma Xue were standing at the foot of the steps of the flower hall, waiting for the guests together.
"Although the big guys know that you have fallen for the queen's mother. But the glorious lintel is not a girl's business after all. That day in Baoqing Building, I met your teacher, and she also asked me to help you pay attention to whether there is a suitable person. In fact, your mother mentioned before leaving, she doesn't care about the family, as long as the child has a good temper and a clean family background, he is willing to treat you wholeheartedly. ”
Although she almost became a mother in her previous life, she is still a girl in this life after all, and when she is talked about about her family, Wei Xiangjun's face is not blushing, and it is not suitable.
Wei Xiangjun was shy on his face, but he was thinking nonsense in his heart.
If she can still live, she will simply marry once and taste what it is like to be a wife. As for the candidates, as long as they are not from Liang Guo, everything else is fine.
"This thing Erfu, I can talk to your mother the most, she can't control it at this time, don't worry, your aunt and your master will not teach you to suffer."
"I know that my aunt is really good to me."
Wei Xiangjun grabbed Grandma Xue's arm.
"Sister-in-law, what is the origin of this Mrs. Gao?"
Another granddaughter-in-law from Dongfu came over to inquire.
"The Gao family of the Changning Mansion, you all know it! At that time, the father of Changning Gong and General Yue was known as 'Wengao Wuyue', and they were both ministers of the humerus of Jibei. Jibei's new policy is led by Changning Gong, and he was also the master of the former prince. Later, the former prince unfortunately died, and the Duke of Changning helped the lord of the country to the throne, so he retired and returned to his hometown to retire. ”
Grandma Xue is also from a family, and it is rare to read poetry and books, and she is very honest about the affairs of the Changning Mansion, "Mrs. Gao is the daughter-in-law of the old man." His husband has been working as an official outside all these years, and now he has been transferred back to Beijing, and he was immediately promoted, and he was directly promoted to the secretary of the ministry, and I heard that he will go one step further soon. ”
"That's a fat shortage. No wonder the old lady was so polite and personally greeted the door. Could it be that our Hou Ye is going to rise again? ”
Grandma Xue hurriedly reminded, "Beware of your mouth, there are some words that the old lady can hear, and you must not be scolded." Let's put it this way, although not many people know about this tall man, but behind him is the Duke of Changning, and most of the officials in the DPRK and China are brought out by the old man, and he always has to sell face. ”
Wei Xiangjun inexplicably thought that Liang Guo also has a person who is determined by his words, and it seems that the number of powerful ministers in the world is about the same.
"That new Concubine Gao Xian, but she has something to do with the Changning Mansion?"
Someone else asked, "It is said that the most favored person in the palace is the one who has only been in the palace for a month, and he has risen several levels, and he is close to Fengyi Palace." ”
