Chapter 35 Birthday 2
"What music did the third sister learn from Mr. Shui today? Is it difficult for you, sir? Mr. Shui likes to pick my finger. He always thinks that I played the wrong place and the wrong place. Does she also pick you like this? Li Tian changed the topic and talked about Li Yunshang's favorite topic easily. Sure enough, when it came to the piano, Li Yunshang's eyes were bright and she smiled happily, "How can you be embarrassed?! She has never picked me. I want to learn from mountains and rivers. I have told my husband two or three times, but my husband just doesn't teach me, saying that I don't have that kind of mood and can't bounce out of that mood..."
Qingzhi was served with tea again. Li Yunshang and Li Tian talked and laughed for a long time before saying goodbye and went straight to the main courtyard where Mrs. Yang lived.
Mrs. Yang was looking for clothes and jewelry. When she saw Li Yunshang coming in, she quickly waved and shouted, "You came just in time. Have you agreed? You just have some face in front of her, and you don't have many decent clothes. People like Dongyang Prince's Mansion can't wear too simple clothes. What you have added in the past two years are all homely clothes. How can you go out to meet guests..."
"Mother!" Li Yunshang shouted in a hurry and was about to speak. Mrs. Yang frowned, threw away the clothes in her hand impatiently and shouted, "I didn't wear this dress before. Why is this color so old? Forget it, send the Buddha to the west and ask for help. You are about the same as the fifth sister, who is tall, short, fat and thin. She must have a lot of clothes, you..."
"Mother!" Li Yunshang raised her voice and shouted again, "You don't have to look for it. I won't go tomorrow."
"Don't go? She won't take you?" Mrs. Yang suddenly straightened up and raised her voice sharply all the way. Li Yunshang said urgently, "The fifth sister said that the royal palace of Dongyang County is a person who is used to it. Her eyes are very high. She is afraid that I will be wronged. Even the Lin family is not willing to go to their house easily!"
"Nonsense! Just listen to her nonsense! Is it her kind to hear what you said?! If you go there, won't she be wronged if she goes? Anyway, you are also the legitimate wife of the dignified government! You are better than her! If she goes to Dongyang County, you will have to go!? Why is she noble than you? I think you are a careless fool, you are a useless fool! Can't you say that? Can't you plug her back in front of her? What are you afraid of? This is the Duke's Office! Duke Yongguo is your own father! What is she? Why do I look down on you? You are the legitimate daughter of the dignified government!" Mrs. Yang's voice was high and sad.
Li Yunshang's tears of being scolded by her rolled in her eyes. How could she hear the wrong in her voice? She bit her lips and choked and said, "Dongyang County Prince and the Lin family are in-laws. When did they deal with our family? The fifth sister went, which was not the face of the Duke's Mansion. The fifth sister said that first, her grandmother made friends with the old lady of Dongyang County King's Mansion, and then the Lin family and Dongyang County King's Mansion were in-laws. That's why they invited her. She will also go to the Nanning County Palace tomorrow and go with her aunt. What's the use of telling me this?
"You?!" Mrs. Yang's face was pale and pointed to Li Yunshang and screamed. She didn't say anything, but the evil fire that had been burning in her heart all year round was overwhelmed by the surging sourness: "I'm all... for you."
"If your mother is really for me, you should be polite to your fifth sister." Li Yunshang looked at Mrs. Yang with tears in her eyes: "I know that my mother is good for me, but this is a matter of asking for someone else. There is no reason to curse and force her. Which part of my fifth sister not good to me? But my mother to my fifth sister... My mother still doesn't understand? I followed Mr. Shui to learn the piano. My mother herself said that I am blessed. Isn't this the place where the fifth sister treats me sincerely? Mother, why do you suffer..."
Shut up! You eat inside and outside! What do you know? That's her, she should pay you back! She should! In those years... If it hadn't been for that... those things, could this family have been like this? When your eldest sister was a child, there were more than a dozen or twenty girls waiting on her. What was the situation in the house at that time and what is the situation now? Who is to blame?! She deserves it!" Mrs. Yang held an old dress tightly in her hands and trembled all over: "Go! Get out of here!"
"Mother!" Li Yunshang was frightened by Mrs. Yang, who was suddenly furious. She looked at Mrs. Yang fearfully and did not dare to move. Mrs. Yang gasped, waved her hands at Li Yunshang, grabbed her chest tightly, closed her eyes, took a few deep breaths, and reluctantly calmed down the madness and pain, "Mother is fine. Mrs. Zhou replied yesterday. There is no commission. You are seventeen years old. Mrs. Yang's voice is only sour.
Li Yunshang was stunned for a long time, lowered his head and looked at his toes blankly. The family that Mrs. Zhou went to mention was just a sixth-grade official, but his son was more promising. In the middle of the year before last, such people refused to marry the Duke of Yongguo.
Jiang, the princess of Nanning County, was busy for two days, and then hurried to hold the lamp before returning to the house, but she was very busy. Jiang Yuanshen, Jiang Yuan, the direct brother of Jiang, was transferred to the capital and picked up his wife Cui and a son and a daughter. Yesterday morning, he rushed to the capital.
Although the Jiang family in Huaiyang is a hundred-old family and has many talents, the princess of Jiang County is not promising for several generations. The great-grandfather of the Princess of Jiang County was a prime minister, but to Jiang's grandfather, he only achieved six grades. Later, Ding You went home and did not become an official again. Jiang's father stopped when he was admitted to the examination. Princess Jiang County's two brothers and one brother, The two brothers also failed repeatedly. With the help of the clan's uncle, they entered the official road. Only his younger brother Jiang Yuanshen was smart since childhood and came from the imperial examination. Now he has reached the fourth grade, and he has been transferred to the capital.
Jiang Hong, the eldest son of Jiang Yuanshen, is 19 years old this year. He is the best of the Jiang family in Huaiyang. He is talented, thoughtful and old. The year before last, he was deeply valued by the elders of the clan. He is regarded as the leader of the next generation of the Jiang family. Princess Jiang Jun thought of her nephew and smiled from the corners of her eyes. Brother Hong'er Character and such talent will have great future, and may be a prime minister!
"Is Dalang back yet? If you come back, please invite him to come here." Princess Jiang ordered happily, and the little girl answered. At first, Lin Yangfeng, the son of Nanning, came in briskly. The long bowed and smiled and said, "My mother is back. Have you all settled your uncles? Did you have dinner?"
"It's all right, do you still need to remember it?" Princess Jiang looked at her eldest son with satisfaction and motioned him to sit on the kang. She screened the maids and women. She looked at him and said with a smile, "I heard that Princess Liu Jun's birthday banquet tomorrow, do you still need to speak outside?"
"No, this article is really crazy. If three or five people can get together, you must have a few sentences and write two poems." Lin Yangfeng said with a worried face.
"That's good. If Princess Liu Jun is going to celebrate her birthday tomorrow, the fourth master will definitely go to celebrate her birthday. If she doesn't write, I'm afraid he will have to leave after her birthday. You won't see him. If she can write, the fourth master loves learning the most. Anyway, she has to stay for a while to read a few articles, and you can find an opportunity to say a few words to him. Mother has two things to do. I'll tell you. Listen to it."
"My son took my mother's instructions." Lin Yangwen was not very comfortable. How could the fourth prince talk to him alone? The so-called talking to him is that the fourth prince speaks to the crowd... Is he also one of the members of the crowd, but he doesn't want to talk to his mother anyway.
"You take Brother Hong with you tomorrow, and you have to take good care of him. Although Brother Hong is good at poetry, after all, he is new here and doesn't know anyone, and he doesn't understand the rules of our capital. You and Erlang should make more suggestions. Don't admit the wrong person and make jokes. Tomorrow is his first response to the relationship. If you don't want him to win anything, you should recognize people and learn the rules first. With Brother Hong's talent, there are many times to stand up later. Princess Jiang said carefully, and Lin Yangfeng nodded and agreed very quickly. This was easy. When Princess Jiang Jun saw her son nodding and agreed, she continued to say, "This second thing, when you pay attention to it properly tomorrow, thank Sister Tian and the fourth prince to face to face."
"Thank you for? What did the cousin of the Li family say thank you to the fourth prince? Lin Yangfeng was surprised, and Princess Jiang said sullenly, "What are you saying? You forget it quickly. Last winter, your sister, Sister Li and Sister Yu met robbers. Did you forget? Didn't the fourth prince save it?"
"So that's it!" Lin Yangfeng laughed and subconsciously looked for a reason to push the messenger out: "A Niang is too polite. It's been half a year, and they have forgotten it. Besides, didn't you kowtow to thank Mrs. Xu face to face? Why is this thank you again? It's time to be annoyed by others."
"You child! This heart is really breathless!" Princess Jiangjun stared at her son angrily: "I don't want to repay the kindness. I forgot that it is noble conduct. How can I forget it after being greatly favored? Mrs. Xu and I kowtowed. That's thanks for saving your sister and sister Yu. Who thanked Sister Li for saving my life? When did you thank me? Forget it. No matter what happens, you have to thank him in person.
