Chapter 335 Narrow and vicious, Yu Dong and his wife
In the Lixiang courtyard, Xiao Xie's face was full of depression. He slept very uneasily. After tossed and turning for two hours, he still turned over and leaned against a noble concubine's couch in the corridor to enjoy the cool.
Mother Shan, the steward beside her, came over and saw that Xiao Xie looked unhappy and shook the fan flatteringly: "Madam, why don't you take a nap today?"
Shanshi is Xiao Xie's dowry maid. At present, she is helping Xiao Xie manage all things in the back house and is not responsible for following up. Today, he didn't go to Rongxi Hall. He didn't know that Xiao Xie suffered a small secret loss, and Xiao Xie didn't mention it. She just asked, "What's the way to make you think about it? How on earth can the medicine be taken by our concubine without scruples?
Shan looked around cautiously and saw that the nearest maids were dozens of steps away, so she lowered her voice and said, "After all, the ribs are Mother Xie's daughter, that is, to make friends with Miss Jiang, but Miss Jiang's mind is not obvious for a while, and it is too risky to use her."
Little Xie glanced at Shan: "Isn't this nonsense? The ribbed thread can't be used at the moment."
"So, I have to pass the old princess."
Xie muttered: "This is a way. Today, I see that Su's aunt can please her vigorously, which is impressive. This girl is not as spoiled as I thought, and she also knows that she is not as good as in the boudoir. Although she doesn't have a serious mother-in-law, my second aunt can't suppress her. After all, the old princess is still us. It's better for the mother of the royal family to be encircled than to commit a crime.
Shan said again: "However, the lady also has to be cautious. If this really comes out of your hand and is detected by the son of the world, it is a handle. In the eyes of the maidservant, she still has to be in the middle. Although Zhu has some scruples, she is too cautious and her heart is not all directed at his wife. When I returned, I passed her, and I was also holding a handle. I was not afraid that she would not obey her orders in the future.
The Zhu family mentioned by Shan is Mother Zhu beside the old princess.
Xie's eyes lit up and thought for a while, and the displeasure on his face finally dissipated a little: "Or do you think of Zhou Dao... How's your boy doing outside business?"
Shan Shi's face was full of smiles: "Thanks to my wife's help, it turned out to be a small business, and what I earned was just a warm insurance, but with the care of my wife, I have recently had an income of 20 or 30 taels a month."
"This is worth the monthly salary of a four-grade official." The meaning of the words is that you should be grateful.
Shan's heart collapsed: Madam, do four-grade officials rely on monthly salary to support their families? If so, everyone sharpened their heads as an official, and they can do business.
Of course, her face was full of humility: "Madam is the food and clothing parents of the slave family. The maidservant remembers the lady's kindness and doesn't say that the official's monthly salary. How can this slave dare to make his own living? It's all the lady's kindness."
Xiao Xie smiled gently, as long as you know.
While talking, he saw Yu Dong strode through the hall with his hands behind his back. Xiao Xie quickly greeted him: "The second master is back. Didn't he go to the teahouse?"
Yu Dongen gave a look at Shan, who bent her knees to comfort him, went straight into the inner hall, raised the curtain in the second room, saw several maids cleaning up the room, left a "go out", sat on the kang, put an arm on several cases, and looked gloomy.
Little Xie came in with his heels, hung the curtain, pushed the window, and made sure that there would be no ear of the wall. Then he asked, "Have you seen Huang Er?"
Originally, it was still in the old year. Since Yu Yu completed the Bingzhou case beautifully and returned from Xiangzhou, it was rumored that he was going to enter the cabinet. Yu Dong was a depressed man in his heart and finally made up his mind to express his "sincerity" when he saw Huang Er, but he didn't know who the "master" in Huang Er's mouth was until yesterday, he got Huang The second wind, I went to a secret place several times this morning before I saw the third prince.
After a conversation, Yu Dong did not hesitate, but he still didn't know what the third prince wanted him to do. He, a leader of Xishanwei, was also in charge of more than a thousand big-headed soldiers, many of whom were the old departments of the Duke of Wei. How could he help the third prince bring down the crown prince? After thinking about it all the way, I got more and more out of the point.
At this time, when I heard Xiao Xie's inquiry, I gave a favor and didn't say it in detail.
Seeing that Yu Dong did not plan to talk in detail, Xiao Xie curled the corners of his mouth and said about today's incident in Rongxi Hall. He couldn't help complaining: "Jing's thoughts are really a little sharp. Forced by her, I have to go to my aunt to save in the morning every day."
"In a woman's opinion, this is nothing more than sleeping less." Yu Dong's face was impatient: "With your means, it's really too much for Yu Yu to remind Jing to greet her."
Xiao Xie was full of disapprove: "Whapprovable or not, and there is no harm to us. What I said was originally a 'goodwill'. Who let my aunt listen to it?"
Yu Dong sighed: "I always think that Yu is weak. Even if he is trusted by the emperor, it is nothing more than the sake of his father's feelings. Unexpectedly, when he was reminded today, he knows that he has been hiding his light and keeping a low profile over the years. There are some means. Because he expected our plan, I said that Zhouer used to be as good as Jing. How can his aunt My mother rejected you bluntly, and the emperor suddenly gave the marriage to Yu Wei. Thinking about it, the boy must have spoken ill of us in front of the emperor and his aunt and grandmother.
Xiao Xie was shocked: "Is that the emperor's letter?"
Yu Dong snorted heavily: "What if you believe it? After so many years, there is no evidence, and all the insiders have also become dead. After all, I still have the blood of my father. I am the grandson of Gaozu. Can I be punished by suspicion alone? But since the emperor is on guard, even if Yu Yu is dead, Zhouer may not be able to inherit the throne.
Little Xie didn't care: "Unless the title of King of Chu is gone, what else can he do?"
"Your brain..." Yu Dong's eyes widened: "Can't the eldest brother marry again?"
"I haven't married for so many years... Isn't he reluctant to give up his affection for the princess?"
"That's because Yu Yu is still here. I was reminded today that the eldest brother and son have suspected us for a long time. It's not just a warning. As soon as Yu Yu died, even if we do things seamlessly, can the eldest brother not care about it? Will you still let Zhou'er attack the Lord? Even if the eldest brother is affectionate and has no intention to marry again, is there only Zhouer? As long as the emperor acquieses, which one can't be adopted?
Xiao Xie was completely stunned: "That..."
"Only when there is a change of people on the throne will we have a chance."
Xiao Xie took a deep breath: "Is the second master trying to rebel?"
Yu Dong almost lost his anger: "Are these two words also words? I mean, we have to work hard on the heir to the throne.
Little Xie curled the corners of his lips: "I'm a woman. How can I know this? The second master wants to win over the prince?"
Yu Dong didn't say much and fell silent.
Xiao Xie asked again, "Then the plan we plan..."
"You have to be more careful. In short, you can't take the handle. If you can really borrow someone else's hand, even if you can't attack the Lord now, it can be regarded as aggrie for your mother for many years. If Yu Yu dies, the old woman and brother will not be painful? What's hateful is that the bitch of the Liang family died early. Yu Dong's eyebrows are extremely angry.
Liang is the mother of the old princess. If she hadn't come back to prove it, Xie Yunqing's biological mother, Qi would not have been retired. Xie Yunqing, with his identity as the direct daughter, of course, could have married the former king of Chu as a concubine.
"The first step is not to let Jing girl have a body so soon and pass on to the generations of Yu Yu." Xiao Xie nod heavily: "Is the medicine given by the second master still safe?"
" ordinary people can't detect it, but they have to be careful. Yu Yu has so many doubts..."
"Don't worry, I already have a way." Xiao Xie said what Shan just now.
"That's fine. Yu Yu is not on guard against his grandmother. Maybe he will let us get it. Even if we go to investigate, it is difficult to detect it. Although Jiang Qinggu has some knowledge of poisons, this is a woman's medicine. He may not understand it. Even if something is really strange, there is a Zhu's top crime. How can she prove the medicine? You gave it, but you can falsely falsely believe that she is in the middle and has bad intentions. Yu Dong smiled coldly.
The next day, when the scenery "go back to the door", Xiao Xie finished the morning province. Sure enough, he brought Mother Zhu to speak, invited people to Lixiangyuan, retired the maidservant, took out the bag of medicine, claiming that it was only a tonic, but told Mother Zhu not to say where to come, but to find a suitable time to give it to the old princess.
"This medicine is the secret recipe of the previous dynasty. It is not better than those ordinary practitioners. Once the bride takes it, she will not worry about holding them for three years. Mother is a sensible person, and naturally she will have a set of words to persuade the old princess." Xiao Xie's face is full of pride.
M Mother Zhu secretly complained - Xiao Xie's words are naturally countless. If this medicine is really good, why doesn't she give it to the old princess herself and give it to her own hand? He specially told me not to hand it over... There must be something wrong. This is nothing like saying a few bad words that are not painful or itchy. If you don't do it, you will lose your life!
But Mother Zhu also has her own difficulties and does not dare to disobey Xiao Xie on the surface.
After thinking about it, I came up with a compromise.
I won't mention the aftert for the time being, let's talk about the government.
Because the scene is married to the clan, the return door is naturally solemn, which is not comparable to the corner gate from the front. The Guogong Mansion opened the main door today. The slaves and maidservants in the outer court all kneel down in the door. The Duke of Wei greeted him in person. Instead, he wanted to salute his daughter and son-in-law. Of course, Yu Xi held his father-in-law. After a few words, he followed the State of Wei. First, I went to the front hall for tea and chatted with several brothers-in-law.
Today, several married daughters of Yichen, Er Niang and Si Niang also returned to their mother's house with their son-in-law, and the Guogong Mansion was very lively.
Yijing and Yu Yu said goodbye for the time being, walked through the main road of the front yard and entered the back house.
Huang, together with Li and Xu, led her two daughters-in-law and the three daughters who were still waiting in the boudoir waiting in the hanging flower door, and the daughter-in-law of the inner house also knelt together to welcome them.
Hearing Huang's call "Princess Concubine", Yijing quickly said, "Mother doesn't need to be courteous. Let's call her as before."
Huang's face was full of love: "The etiquette cannot be abandoned."
Despite this, Li Shi straightened up her slightly bulging lower abdomen and pulled Yijing to Yuanying Hall: "Grandma has been looking forward to it for a long time. Jing'er, go in quickly. Your eldest sister, second sister and fourth sister are also back."
The married daughter is also a "guest" when she returns to her mother's house, and there is no need to wait for the door to welcome her.
Yuanyingtang is very lively today. The eldest princess saw that the scenery was refreshing and happy. She knew that she had been living a comfortable three days after her wedding and didn't ask much, so she had to chat with her sisters.
At noon, Yu Yu, accompanied by the Duke of Wei, came to Yuanying Hall with Fuwang, Zhou Lang and Yao Lang to greet the eldest princess.
The return banquet of nobles is generally separated by men and women. Son-in-law and other male guests have to go to the front yard, but the eldest princess does not follow this custom, saying that family reunion is a celebration, but it is better to learn from those ordinary people and get together to be lively.
The luncheon was set in the waterside by the mirror pool, with a total of three seats. The Duke of Wei and his son-in-law had a table, the eldest princess and Huang and other daughters-in-law, and several sisters were allowed to sit at a table.
After the meal, the sisters went to chat in the garden. Yijing took time to pull Si Niang aside, and then asked early in the morning that she found the enchanting maid behind Li: "Why is it a new face?"
The fourth mother sighed: "My grandmother insisted on sending her in, saying that her mother was pregnant. Instead of letting the maids in the house take advantage of her, don't use her mother's family."
Since the incident of Auntie, Su Ke and Li's husband and wife have made up, and their lives are a little sweet as newlyweds, but they don't want Grandma Li to worry about the sky and actually began to toss around again.
"My grandmother's mind is not right, but my mother still cares about her. This maid is not like Chen, and she is afraid that she will be in trouble again in the future." The fourth mother is not without worry.
I was talking, but I saw Er Niang coming over with a gloomy face.
On the day of the personal welcome ceremony, Yijing saw that Er Niang was holding fire. The day was special, and it was difficult for her to ask. Today, Er Niang's face was more lightning and thunderous, and she stared at someone at the table of Duke Wei from time to time - of course, her husband's son-in-law Zhou.
Bingjing suspects that this young couple must have had a conflict.
I don't want to say to Si Niang as soon as she came over and said to Si Niang, "How's the fox charming son next to the fourth sister?"
Beaup> The beautiful scenery is surprising and suspicious. Si Niang didn't get married until April. How could she have a fox charming son?
Siniang was embarrassed and silent for a while before explaining to the scenery: "It's a family that can't be publicized. We really shouldn't say bad words about the elders, but my grandmother... not only gave one to my mother this time, but also persuaded my mother to give it to me and my second sister."
Binjing:......
Er Niang's eyes turned red with anger. She originally hated Grandma Li. She even heard Li's grandma say that Li had wanted to marry her to marry a businessman, and she became more and more reluctant to see her grandmother, but she didn't expect that Li also listened to Grandma Li's words and persuaded them to take the two beautiful maids back to her husband's house for a room.
Si Niang was about to open her mouth when another smoky girl came from outside the pavilion. Isn't it the one next to Li's?
