18 Night talks
Fu Yi listened to her mother Wei's words, her cheeks became more and more red, and her beautiful eyes were full of expectation.
The second cousin Fu Xuzhi was accompanied by the prince, and he has been very close to the prince over the years, so the prince has come to their Anguo Mansion. She happened to meet the prince Xiao Yan who was playing chess with her second cousin in the garden that day, and the whole person was stunned at that time, the world only said that the prince was ruthless, not as easy to get along with as the second prince and the third prince, but she looked at it at a glance, and only felt that His Royal Highness the prince was as cold as the moon in the sky, and the majesty of the person who belonged to the superior was even more unapproachable, and there was a sense that it could only be looked up to and not blasphemed.
At that glance, she could no longer forget the prince Xiao Yan, and later, she even had the intention to accompany the prince for a long time.
As the mother said, the emperor valued the first queen, and he wanted to give them a decent place in the Anguo Mansion, so that the Anguo Mansion would have a crown princess, since the eldest aunt gave birth to a son, then this dignity should also fall on the girl in the Anguo Mansion.
And they only have one concubine in the Anguo Mansion, so she naturally takes it seriously.
Fu Yi felt that the best man in the world was not as good as the crown prince Xiao Yan. Therefore, whenever her grandmother, Mrs. Wei, mentioned her family affairs, she only said that she wanted to accompany the old lady for a few more years, and later, her mother probably saw her thoughts and helped her deal with the old lady. It's just that this is the first time that her mother has broken this layer of window paper, so that Fu Yi is shy and expectant in her heart, and she subconsciously looks at her mother Wei.
"The mother knows her daughter's thoughts, but she needs to help her daughter." Fu Yiyang begged.
Wei Shi took his daughter's hand, I don't know what I thought, and there was a little hesitation between my eyebrows.
Fu Yi saw it and hurriedly asked, "What, what is my mother worried about?" ”
Wei glanced at his daughter, and then sighed softly: "It's your grandmother, I am your grandmother's niece, and I haven't understood your grandmother's mind for at least seven points over the years." In fact, your grandmother was reluctant to marry the emperor back then. ”
"Your grandmother feels that our Anguo Mansion is based on the merits of Conglong in this capital, as long as An An is a pure minister, no matter how he can maintain his current prominence with the merits of his ancestors, this is much more secure than being involved in the battle for the throne."
"So, when your eldest aunt gave birth to Xuzhi, your grandmother was still relieved. Who would have thought that the emperor would lock our Anguo Mansion on the prince's boat, and ordered Xu Zhi to be the prince's companion, and there have been many rewards over the years, so Xu Zhi often walks around the palace. Although your grandmother was pleased with her grandson's appearance and suppressed all the noble sons in the capital, deep down, she was still a little worried about this matter. So, I pondered, if you want to marry the prince, no matter what the prince thinks, your grandmother will probably not agree. ”
After Wei's words were finished, the shyness on Fu Yi's face suddenly dissipated, and her heart continued to sink, and then a wave of anger rose.
"Grandmother is really short-sighted, since our Anguo Mansion has become a party of the prince, why can't we fight more? If the crown prince sits in that position, wouldn't it be good for us to have a daughter in the middle palace who has entered the middle palace? Does grandmother think that she is so forward-looking and cowering, and the second or third prince can let go of our Anguo Mansion when she becomes the emperor? ”
Wei Shi was so frightened by her daughter's words that her face turned a little pale, but fortunately, there were only two people in the room at this time, so she only lowered her voice and said: "Be cautious, don't talk about the throne!" ”
Fu Yi's face didn't show any timidity, and said, "Does the mother think that what her daughter said is unreasonable? Since you have already stood in line, you can naturally fight. When the time comes, the second cousin and His Royal Highness's monarchs and ministers get along, the daughter enters the middle palace, and the second cousin helps each other in the previous dynasty, isn't it a good thing for our Anguo Mansion? ”
"If my daughter is blessed to give birth to His Royal Highness's eldest son, maybe our Anguo Mansion also has the dignity of the current Empress Dowager Pei's mother's Feng'en Mansion, do you think this is true?"
Wei Shi was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect her daughter to have such great ambitions, she was a little apprehensive for a while, and then she became a little excited, and only after a while did she grab Fu Yi's hand and said: "Sister Yi is right, if you are a man, you will definitely be no worse than your cousin." Since you have such ambition, my mother can't guarantee that your grandmother will not be an obstacle to you. ”
Fu Yi smiled when she heard this: "Then thank you mother." ”
......
Jing'an Hospital
At nightfall, the house was lit up.
Zhou sat in front of the collapse and looked at an account book in his hand, but he didn't turn a page for a long time, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
One hand took the ledger in her hand, and said with a little blame: "I said earlier that these ledgers are good to read during the day, and I am not afraid to look bad at night with the lamp in my hand." ”
Zhou turned around, glanced at the man in front of him with disgust, got up and said, "Okay, it's the concubine's fault, I will listen to the master in the future." ”
The person who came was Fu Xian, who was in his forties, and he looked particularly elegant, tall in stature, and outstanding in appearance.
Zhou Shi saw the things Fu Xian was carrying in his hand, and the smile on his face was a little more, but he said with a few words: "Master doesn't have to bring these snacks to me often, my younger brothers and sisters made fun of me because of this last time." Besides, this Fuji's dim sum is the most difficult to buy, and you have to queue for half an hour to buy it, and the master is not afraid of being recognized and losing his identity. ”
Fu Xian didn't care, only said: "I love my daughter-in-law, and I didn't buy it for others, what is there to lose my identity." Besides, you've been busy all day in charge of the house, and I can't help you with the affairs of the inner house, so can't you get your favorite pastries in front of you? ”
Zhou listened to Fu Xian's words, and was naturally extremely happy in her heart, although she had some difficulties in marrying into the Anguo Mansion over the years, no matter how big the difficulties were, they were all smoothed out by Fu Xian's perennial kindness to her.
Not to mention that Fu Xian has never taken a concubine, Fu Xian's open-mindedness and thoughtfulness are incomparable to other men no matter what.
Zhou personally took the pastry he was holding and put it on the table, and turned his head to call someone to set the meal. When Zhou helped Fu Xian take off his coat and watched Fu Xian wash his hands, the two came out from behind the screen and sat down at the table, the meal was already on the table.
After the two of them finished eating together, it was a little darker, and when only the husband and wife were left in the room after freshening up, Fu Xiancai opened his mouth and asked: "When I entered the door, I saw you staring at the account book and wandering, but what was on your mind?" ”
He guessed: "Qionghua is a little willful when she urinates, but she is disrespectful to you in her words?" ”
Zhou glared at him: "What are you talking about, your sister-in-law is married far away from the south and is not allowed to return to Beijing all the year round, and now that she has returned to her parents' house, she is arrogant, can't I tolerate her as a sister-in-law?" It's for you, I'm not that small. If there's one thing I don't like about it, it's her eccentric look. I can't figure it out, the girl also came out of her belly, why she didn't hurt at all. ”
Fu Xian saw that she was a little angry, and hurriedly said: "Look at you, I only guessed one sentence, and you have so many words." I don't think that you are the duchess of the country, and no one in this house dares to give you a look, so Qionghua has just entered Beijing, and her temperament is willful, and her mother is used to indulging her. ”
"We are husband and wife, if she makes you wronged, it is not good for you to come forward as a sister-in-law, and I, as a brother, will personally tell her."
Zhou was silent, and sighed softly for a long time: "I'm worried about my marriage." ”
Fu Xian was puzzled: "What's so worrying about this, Xu Zhi looks good, and he is also decent and valuable to be a companion in front of His Royal Highness, and his reputation in the capital is even greater than that of me as a father, and his marriage doesn't have to worry, there are many girls who want to marry him." ”
"Isn't it your birthday in a few days? When the time comes, the wives of each family will come to the door with their own girls, you take a good look at each other, if it can be settled, Zhang Luo Zhang Luo will not have more daughters-in-law in half a year? ”
Zhou listened to Fu Xian's words, and only looked at Fu Xian after a while: "I don't know if Xuzhi's marriage will make Shen think more." ”
Fu Xian was still a little puzzled at first, but seeing his wife's face at this time, where could he not understand, so he immediately said: "Don't worry, in a few days, I will go up to the fold and ask for the son of the world, so as to calm the boss's heart." ”
Zhou shook his head: "You don't know He Zhi's body, he is still sick now, and when the time comes, he will enter the palace to thank him, and the mansion will also hold a banquet, if it is more solemn, it will be more cumbersome, where can his body withstand these tiredness." ”
"Besides, Shen is now under pressure because she has never been pregnant, and I can't support her clothes anymore when I see her thin. It is said that serving He Zhi was too tired to lose weight like that, but I am also a woman, so I can't guess her thoughts. ”
"Don't give the title of the son of this world, the Shen family has even more pressure in his heart. I tried my best to have a child, we He Zhi is not in good health, but we can't stand it......" Zhou didn't continue, but the meaning couldn't be clearer.
Zhou hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Besides, there is also my mother, I don't seem to want to call He Zhi the son of this world, otherwise, in the year He Zhi got married, you would have to ask for an excerpt, and your mother would not suddenly fall ill." I didn't think about it at first, but in the past two years, I have gradually understood it, and my mother likes it even more. ”
"It's just that you also know that He Zhi is both a grandson and a long, and the only bad thing is that he is weak and sick, if Xu Zhi gets the position of the son of this world, I am afraid that their brothers will have a knot in their hearts in the future. Besides, there is also the Shen family, if I were the Shen family, I would not be able to ask others to snatch my husband's position as the son. ”
"The palms and backs of my hands are full of meat, and I really don't know what to do."
Fu Xian listened and listened, his face gradually became solemn, he held his wife's hand, and thought for a long time before he spoke: "In this way, when Xuzhi's body is better, I will hand over the fold and ask for the son." As for my mother, I'll talk to her properly. We have a total of two He Zhi and Xu Zhi in the long room, He Zhi is not in good health, he inherited the title, Xu Zhi beat the urine to read with the prince, if the prince ascends the throne in the future, he will have the merit of the dragon, and he is naturally a close minister of the Son of Heaven. If there is a case, we are afraid that the whole family will not be able to fall well, let alone say that the son of the world will not be the son. ”
"If you talk to Shen in private, you can say that it is my thoughts, so that she can rest assured. As for the matter of children, take your time, and you have to enter the house for five or six years before you get pregnant. ”
Zhou glanced at her husband, the sorrow in his eyes was a little less, and he slowly spoke: "I don't ask for anything else, I just ask the two children not to have a disagreement because of the position of the son of the world, and cause discord between the brothers." ”
Fu Xian patted her hand and said with relief: "Don't worry, He Zhi has a gentle temperament, and Xu Zhi is also considerate and respectful of his brother, I dare not guarantee that the two of them will not be able to do anything." ”
He said, and said with a little joke: "If you gave birth to a daughter back then, you don't need to worry so much, there is only one long room on the left and right, and he can only be the son of this world if he is in good health." ”
Zhou listened to Fu Xian's words, but said: "That's also worried, if my daughter enters the East Palace and becomes the crown princess, I have to worry about whether she is doing well every day, whether she has been wronged, even if she becomes the queen one day, the emperor can't be the only one by her side, I have to worry about not being able to sleep." ”
"I kind of know, being a mother is to have an unfinished heart, either worrying about this or that."
Fu Xian smiled and said: "You, you only gave birth to two under your knees, if you give birth to three, your mind will not be on me as a husband at all." ”
Zhou knew that Fu Xian was coaxing her to be happy, but he couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Okay, they're all such adults, and they haven't spoken in a measured manner." ”
Saying this, her heart finally settled down a little, she turned sideways and buried her head on Fu Xian's shoulder, leaning on him and slowly falling asleep.
