Chapter 223 Spring heart is budding and wants to make a desperate note
In He Ruiyuan of the Duke of Wei's Mansion, Huang rubbed her eyebrows and leaned against the noble concubine's couch tiredly. Today, she sent away Mrs. Qin from the prime minister's mansion and received a greeting from Jin Xiangfu. She didn't have time to think about Mrs. Jin's intention. It was time to meet the housekeeper to arrange housework. She was busy and finally got everything right. But the twilight is already dark.
"Go ahead and ask where the prince eats." Huang ordered Yuzhi.
However, seeing that Mother Lan had already entered, she waved her hand and let the maids retreat before saying, "Your Highness is here. I have finished talking with the Duke in front of me. I ordered to put the dinner in Yuanying Hall and ask my wife to come over."
"How could the Third Highness..." Huang asked half a question and subconsciously frowned.
"The first lady left the third highness for dinner, and I heard that she also sent someone to invite the fifth mother to come over." Mother Lan carefully looked at Huang's expression and suppressed her voice: "Madam's earlier analysis was reasonable. The old lady should have had no intention of five or six princes, which made the queen afraid, but the third prince... Because of the matter of southern Zhejiang this time, she may make the old lady change her outlook on him. In addition, His Royal Highness has just returned to Beijing today. Listen He said that he came to our house before he could return.
Huang became more and more annoyed: "I tried it some time ago. The old lady only said that she would not be able to meet Jing'er until October, and there were two Sanniang and Si Niang in front of her. At this time, it was still too early to discuss marriage. If the general's wife asked me, it would be difficult for me to say, but looking at the enthusiasm of the Third Highness..." Of course, it was even more annoying. Yes, the eldest princess actually invited Yijing to Yuanying Hall. What does this mean?
"Madam still needs to plan early. You can't watch Wu Niang marry into the royal family again." Mother Lan said fiercely.
It's not so easy. Even if you put aside the eldest princess, you can't let the nobleman find something strange... Huang thought secretly, but even Mother Lan concealed this and pondered for a while before saying, "I think San Niang will still come to greet you today."
Since the beginning of the first month, Sanniang has become more and more attentive to come to Ruiyuan. She is not to mention the morning and evening, and insists on serving Huang's meals, rain or shine, but she can stand more rules than her aunt.
Mother Lan understood Huang's meaning and nodded with a smile.
Sure enough, this Huang family only went to Yuanyingtang, and Sanniang was followed by two maids to Heruiyuan, but she was pulled by the second-class maid Qiaoer with a smile: "Sanniang stayed. Madam went to Yuanyingtang for dinner today, so I won't bother you."
Sanniang stood under the steps, and there was a layer of doubt in her heart - Huang was busy because of the palm feeding, and the eldest princess was not a person who was confined to family gifts. She had been spared her from morning and evening. She used to eat in Ruiyuan. Why did she go to Yuanying Hall today?
Thinking of this, Sanniang took a smile from the corners of her lips. First, she said a few good words, praised Qiaoer, and seemed to ask casually, "Grandma has something else today, so she invited her mother to Yuanying Hall?"
Qiaoer got the benefits of Sanniang a long time ago. Thinking of the words that Mother Lan muttered "unintentionally" just now, she looked around and saw that there was no one else, so she quickly said, "I heard that the old lady left the third highness for dinner, so she invited the lady over. Only the little women went there."
Sanniang was happy and a little resentful in an instant - grandma was really biased and couldn't forget Wu Niang.
I didn't stay with Ruiyuan. I turned around and went out, but my pace slowed down, and my mind kept thinking about it: I was about it, and I was about to get married, but I didn't see any hope in planning that matter. I didn't have any chance of winning, but I was finally unwilling.
Grandmother would not worry about the marriage of such a common daughter, so she had to flaunt her mother, but she did not dare to say those words directly... The only hope is to make the third prince move first. He mentioned it first, and the elders may not object.
What's wrong with the common daughter? If you are expected to become a princess, you can change the genealogy and record it in the name of the Duke's wife.
But in the back house, how can you have a chance to meet the third prince? What's more...
No, you can't let go of the opportunity. For the sake of the future, it's time to gamble.
Sanniang finally made up her mind and stopped walking towards Yantingyuan and went unswervingly to Yuanying Hall.
As soon as I arrived at the door of the weeping flower door, I saw Yijing coming from the other side with Xia Ke and Qiu Yue. San Niang smiled slowly. When she grasped the intimate and eager look, she shouted crisply, "Five sister."
After a few steps forward, he couldn't help but take Yujing's arm: "The fifth sister also came to greet her grandmother?"
Yijing is not energetic - the long winter has made her impatient. What's more about the medicinal materials is not as simple as she thought. In the past two days, she has been nestled in the house and is planning how to persuade her grandmother to act together with her. There is no safe excuse. She is annoyed and lazy to move. However, today because of the evil return from southern Zhejiang, she insisted that the matter was so smooth, and she had to thank her face to face.
There was a mess in her mind. She didn't want to waste her mind to socialize with the third prince. However, her grandmother sent someone to invite her, but she couldn't refuse. After a long time, she reluctantly came to Yuanying Hall.
Seeing San Niang's deliberate closeness, there was nothing else she didn't understand, but she couldn't stop her from greeting her grandmother.
I had to be "nabred" all the way by Sanniang.
In the main hall, there is no seat yet. The eldest princess is in the tea room behind the partition, listening to the third prince talk about the situation in southern Zhejiang.
Naturally, the Duke of Wei also sat with him, but Huang was not present - her task, of course, was to set up a banquet, avoid the kitchen, and stared at the servants to prepare meals - there were three princes, and of course, the main dishes and wine points had to be added, which could not be like the past.
Linglong knew that Wu Niang would come, but she didn't expect to add a San Niang, so she was stunned and watched San Niang holding Wu Niang around the partition.
"That Wang Jiong used to be known as 'loyal and upright', and some officials once praised him for being affectionate and righteous. Although he was a noble son, he was quite excluded by his mother and brother because he was not young, so he found a mistake and expelled him from his home. Because Wang Jiong was very talented, he was appreciated by a local scribe and not only married his daughter to him. He also recommended him to Kyoto. Wang Jiong himself did have the ability, but it was not long before he met Jin Xiang's party pal. After becoming an official, he was quite smooth. Gradually promoted to second-grade political envoy. After his father Wang Ying learned about it, he accommodated him, but he also said that the status of the wife he married without his parents was too low and forced him to marry another. Wang Jiong Because he resolutely did not abandon his wife, he was kicked out of his family by Wang Ying.
The third prince was talking, and saw two beautiful girls turned out behind the fan. His eyes had just lit up, and one of them was San Niang. He felt very happy, but he stood up gently and wrapped his hand to see the salute: "Good morning, two sisters."
Yingjing patiently blessed her body and stood respectfully beside the eldest princess.
When the Duke of Wei saw San Niang, his expression was solemn - originally, the third prince came today to discuss business matters, and the other was to thank him for the "secret help" of the scenery. It was difficult for the Duke of Wei to refuse, and the eldest princess did not think there was anything wrong. She knew some political affairs. It's good to listen to it.
How could you have thought that Sanniang would follow?
After Sanniang saluted, she sensed the dissatisfaction of the two elders, and her heart became more and more aggrieved. Her throat was clearly astringent, but she still squeezed out a gentle smile and stood brazenly on the other side of the eldest princess.
"Why is the third girl free to come today?" The eldest princess asked lightly.
"I originally wanted to serve my mother's dinner, but I didn't know until I heard of my grandmother's side." Sanniang thought that she had not come to Yuanying Hall for many days to say hello. She was originally a little timid, but when she thought about it, her grandmother never paid attention to herself. No matter how much she flattered her, she couldn't flatter her, so she ignored it and only said with a smile, "Your Highness is talking about Southern Zhejiang? Some time ago, I went to a banquet with my mother and often heard people talk about it. They all said that His Highness had made great contributions this time. I was curious, but today is a coincidence. Smiling like a flower, I'm looking forward to it.
The eldest princess was more and more unhappy to hear what she said. Duke Wei's eyebrows were also deepened and looked at San Niang: "Go to the kitchen and have a look. Why hasn't it been properly?"
San Niang's heart was immediately cold, but her unwilling emotions filled her viscera, but she did not even dare to rebel against her father's words. She answered "yes" aggriefully, and then she came out of the tea room, and tears of humiliation spilled on her face.
Then the eldest princess let Yijing sit down and said, "Sanlang wanted to thank you in person, so he called you. In addition, since you were involved, you should also listen to the current situation. If you go to the palace for a banquet in the future, or go to another house with your mother, those who catch up with flattery can also think about how to deal with each other."
Yi Jing responded. Seeing that the third prince really got up, he bowed to her and hurriedly replied, "I dare not be Your Highness like this. It's just a waste of a few words, and it didn't help."
The third prince smiled secretly: The little fox is really docile in front of the elders.
The eyes are shining, looking at the beautiful scenery - nearly half a year, the head is getting taller and taller, and the eyebrows are more beautiful and charming. Looking only at the appearance, she is a fake slender lady.
Beautiful scenery was stabbed with discomfort by the substantive eyes. When she looked back with some irritation, she saw that the third prince had moved his eyes and did not pick it lightly at all. He was very steady and polite. He couldn't help curl the corners of his mouth and listened to him continue to say that Wang Jiong - when his father should be guilty and lost his office, how could he take care of him regardless of the past. The mother and brother and sister; as an official for many years, how can they be honest on the surface? Even the official uniforms are sewn and mending, so that the official and imperial history mentioned him and praised him as "two sleeves of breeze". However, this time, after a thorough investigation, it was found that he was secretly produced in his name, and the good fields were all over the south of the Yangtze River, and the private vault of gold, silver and strange treasures were even more indisting. It is more than ten times more than the private property of the "big greedy" Liang Chutong in those years.
And as for the evil deeds of indulging officials to bully the people, grabbing people's wealth, and robbing people's women are even more numerous.
Yi Jing listened and became more and more absorbed. Gradually fixed the sight of Zhu Yu, and occasionally "doing" to the third prince.
As for which innocent people are involved, which crimes are not enough to die, which Southern Zhejiang Xungui have a lot of prestige and power in the garrison, and which nobles in Beijing have a good relationship with them, which are in-laws, etc., I pay more attention to the scenery.
Secretly wrote down several important families, thinking about their daughters, who have several connections and frequent contacts, what their temperaments are, and what should they do in the future.
Of course, there were also interrupts. They didn't say much, but they were all on the point. The eldest princess and Duke Wei were very satisfied.
After two Moments, the banquet has been ready. Su Yi invited Su Xing, the second master Su Ke and the third master Su Yu to "reve the wind" for the third prince in the main hall.
Naturally, there is also a seat in the teahouse. Huang and three other sisters-in-law, together with Sanniang and Yijing sisters, accompany the eldest princess for dinner.
Sanniang was absent-minded and repeatedly fell down because she had no chance to talk to the third prince, and once almost smashed the bowl.
Huang was shocked and broke out in a cold sweat, so he took Sanniang back to talk to Ruiyuan after hastily eating dinner.
