Chapter 77 1
Li Tian talked about meeting the fourth prince on the road, and even repeated what the fourth prince and herself said. Shui Qiuniang's face became more and more solemn. She slowly put down the cup and looked at Li Tian and asked, "Have you seen him before?"
"I've seen it, that is, when my grandmother's funeral, he happened to save me and Mrs. Xu and my party. He just looked at it from afar. In the future, how can I have a chance to see him?" Li Tian smiled bitterly and spread out her hand. Shui Qiu Niang's eyes flashed slightly and she was silent for a long time before saying in a low voice, "You didn't see him, he may not have seen you." Li Tian was stunned. Shui Qiuniang glanced at Yue Niang and others and gently ordered, "Yiluo left to wait. You two go back and have a rest." Yue Niang raised her eyebrows and looked at Shui Qiu Niang with an unhappy face, but stood up and went out without a sound. Qingzhi quickly bent her knees and retreated, and walked to the door without saying a word to guard.
"The spokes were interrupted with a sharp weapon. He arrived as soon as you got out of the car. This is arranged." Shui Qiuniang's gentle voice was indescribably cold: "If it weren't for the heart, who would go out of the city with a curtain and a beard chair?" He stared at you and went all the way to the Qingfeng Tower. Obviously, his heart was getting hot. If he had only seen it from a distance before the New Year, it would have been unreasonable.
Li Tian took a deep breath and nodded with approval, but his heart was as bitter as Huang Lian. When did he see himself? I don't know anything! Shui Qiuniang looked at Li Tian pititakingly. The coldness in her voice decreased slightly, and she asked with a trace of concern, "If he comes to ask for marriage, will you marry or not?"
"I won't marry." Li Tian shook her head without hesitation and said, "He is ambitious and uncertain. Lin Guifei and Dongyang County Palace are not good at each other. This is not a good person."
"Well," Shui Qiuniang couldn't see any expression on her face, and said in a low tone, "The first queen has been married for only three or four years. At that time, the official family returned to Long Qianpan Mansion. It was said that the official family and the former queen had a deep love affair. After the first queen left, the official family never married again. At that time, Aunt Yao took care of the royal family affairs. Aunt Yao was originally a big girl in the official house. She waited with the official at the age of seven or eight. She was also the biological mother of the eldest prince. Later, Ye Guifei entered the house and gave birth to the fourth prince the next year. When Ye Guifei was full, the official family asked her and Aunt Yao to take care of the affairs of the palace together. Later, the official family ascended the throne and did not set up a queen. The palace is also the same as the rules of the former royal palace, which is managed by Ye Guifei.
"What about Aunt Yao?"
"One year before the official ascended the throne, Aunt Yao died, saying that she died of illness." Shui Qiuniang's voice calmed without a trace of emotion: "Ye Guifei and Dongyang County Royal Palace are really not easy to get together, and the palace is not a good place to live in, but I'm afraid it's not up to you."
"So please come and discuss it."
"Life and death are determined, and wealth is in heaven. You are a blessing. The fourth prince's ambition is ambitious and must have many worries. How can the private feelings of his children match his ambition? It's useless for him to marry you. It's very reassuring to ask for marriage.
"Well," Li Tian exhaled softly, "I also think so. In fact, I'm not afraid that he will marry, but that he will be a scoundrel, strong, or... If his mind spreads to the outside, who in the capital dares to marry me?"
"Don't worry about the naughty rogue," Shui Qiuniang said with a smile on the corners of her mouth and said, "The fourth prince has been arrogant since he was a child, and his character is also very good. He can't do the naughty rogue you said. Besides, the official is very self-disciplined and has never been a woman. He doesn't like others to stay with women's sex. None of these princes dares to be presumptuous on women's sex. He is a big ambition. How can he make this taboo and make officials not happy? However," Shui Qiuniang paused and sighed, "I'm afraid that his thoughts will be spread to the outside by intentional people. There are all kinds of things in the capital. There are too many thoughts, and I'm afraid that people with intentions will take advantage of it..."
Li Tian put her hands together, closed her eyes, and was silent for a long time before barely suppressing her anxiety. She looked up at Shui Qiuniang and said, "I have to make an order and get married quickly. Before getting married, I can only ask for the Bodhisattva's blessing. In the future, if I don't have to, I won't go out again."
"Well, this is the best. You should also think about the benefits. At the age of the fourth prince, this situation comes quickly and goes faster. If you don't see each other for half a month, maybe there will be no such affection." Shui Qiuniang comforted, Li Tian sighed heavily, and now she has to think about everything only for good.
Li Tian sent Shui Qiuniang away and stood in the porch for a long time. At present, this marriage can only be entrusted to Mrs. Xu. The matter of cleaning up the Qingjiang Marquis's Mansion has to be done quickly. Amitabha and Bodhisattva bless Mrs. Xu. I hope that once the Qingjiang Hou Mansion is over, Mrs. Xu can be well-hearted, recovering from a serious illness, and be healthy.
Mrs. Zhou, the Duke of Lai, came out of her mother's house, leaning on the pillow with her eyes closed, and thought about the gossip she had just heard for a while. Suddenly, she opened her eyes and told the little girl, "Send someone to Qingjiang Houfu to have a look, ask Mrs. Chen if she is free, and she said that I'm looking for her to talk to." The little girl answered, raised the curtain and went out to order. A woman took the order. The driver turned around and drove the car slowly to Qingjiang Houfu.
In the main courtyard of Qingjiang Houfu, Mrs. Chen stood reservedly at the door of the upper room to pick up Mrs. Zhou and said politely, "Which gust of wind blew you here? Please come in."
"I've wanted to come and talk to you for a long time. As you know, our house has had a lot of things to do before, and I haven't been idle. Look at your look getting brighter and brighter. It's really getting younger and younger." Mrs. Zhou looked up and down at Mrs. Chen and warmly flattered her. The two of them were polite and I entered the room and sat down. They complained about the truth and falsely and showed off for a long time. Mrs. Zhou's face showed a mysterious gossip and smiled, "Is your house... Is Mrs. Xu better?"
"It's much better. What can I do, but I just took this disease to send Aunt Hong away." Mrs. Chen curled the corners of her mouth and said disdainfully. Mrs. Mrs. Zhou laughed, moved forward and then said, "Our house has not stopped for a while. So has your house. There have been enough things in this period. She deserves the matter of Aunt Hong. No wonder that someone else, an aunt, has gone over you to the Qingjianghou Mansion. , isn't it life or death? Have you heard that you can get used to an aunt like this? Look at me. I'm confused. Who dares to reach your ears?
"What else is coming out?" Mrs. Chen's heart jumped when she heard this. There have been more things in the past few days. Since Aunt Hong was sold, she hasn't had much peace of mind.
"I shouldn't have told you this. In fact, it's not a big deal. Speaking of which, it's still caused by Aunt Hong. She spoiled an aunt like that, and it was rumored that Mrs. Xu was kicked out by your uncle?"
"Where did this come from... Where did this come from? How did you spread this well?" Halfway through indignation, Mrs. Chen suddenly took a glimpse of the opportunity and quickly poked her head to ask Mrs. Zhou. Mrs. Zhou looked left and right and moved to Mrs. Chen's side and mysteriously said, "Although it's your uncle's gossip, this old man is just a stepson, but this stepson is also a son. As a mother, you know it well. But it's not that I talk too much."
"That's it, say it quickly."
"It's not a big deal," Mrs. Zhou swallowed for a moment and vomited: "It is rumored that the old man in your house drove his direct wife and daughter out of the city regardless of the city. He spoiled a concubine as his wife, saying that your house... said that your uncle took concubine as his wife and the concubine as his direct descendant, which is a mess. Speaking of which, which one has this ridiculous son? But the matter of the uncle in your house is a fundamental matter. This matter is a violation of the king's law! You have to be careful, if he is so tired that he loses his title... Oh, if people like us don't have a title, it's a matter of collapse! It's not strange that people are puzzled when they hear this. Look, he doesn't have a legitimate son. I heard that Mrs. Xu was also pregnant with several children in the past, but she didn't save it? This concubine is really exhausting. The uncle in your house is also really. Why do you think he is a son of the world?
What Mrs. Zhou said was heartbreaking, but Mrs. Chen was shocked and happy. She could hardly hide the surprise on her face. She reached out and grabbed Mrs. Zhou and asked eagerly, "Oh, really, how did such a thing come out? Isn't it hard to get along with our uncle?! Really, where did this come from? Did you say anything else? Didn't he say that he was so moral that he could not be the son of the world?
"Who knows where it came from!" Mrs. Zhou sat up straight, clapped her hands and continued to gossip: "This story is very powerful. This matter can't be tolerated. It's all messed up. This immoral thing is not a trivial matter! I just rely on the old seller to say more. You really have to rest assured about this matter. There are no people who have lost their titles for their children. Let's not talk about this. Your uncle's son has not had a legitimate son yet! How big is this! Look at the failure of those concubines? Let me tell you, the Marquis of Ningyuan will not mention it. As soon as Mrs. Lin died, she didn't even have a root in the blink of an eye. In the Duke of Yongguo's mansion, how powerful it was in those years. Look at it now, you don't know that their little wife, a serious little lady, has a good personality and appearance, and the capital is not so good. Little lady, but the former son said kiss and wanted to give it to a six-grade official, but they refused to want it. Look at this failure. If you hear about this matter, don't talk about it outside. Isn't the failure of his family just for the title of a commoner? You really have to tell your marquis about this. It's a big deal that the old man doesn't have a legitimate son..."
