Chapter 378 A close relative, a couple
In the Duke's mansion, Huang was very reluctant to invite Mr. Qiu Zimo, the daughter of Mr. Qiu, to come for an "interview review" because of the sign of the Duke of the State. The woman has been twenty-two this year. She is tall, with a slender waist and cut shoulders. Although she only wears only a semi-old autumn-colored skirt, she is embroidered with green calyx plums and tied a piece of blue silk. The clothes are simple, and there is only a poor-colored jasper hairpin between the green silk, but when she sits there, she looks shy, elegant, beautiful and delicate, making her like a beautiful woman painted by a famous artist.
The speech and manners are impeccable, gentle and polite, just right, neither flamboyant nor restrained. Just looking at this, it is not much different from a noble family.
This midsummer heat is all gathered in Huang's heart.
What made her more restless was that after Qiu had only sat down, the eldest princess got the news and sent a woman to invite someone. Unexpectedly, she asked her to go to Yuanying Hall for a meal, and did not let Huang to accompany her - "The old lady sympathizes with the hard work of running the house, that is, let Miss Qiu go talk for a while, and the lady will stay." The woman looked respectful. The smile, in the eyes of Huang and Mother Lan, seems to be slippery without a smile.
"How can the old lady do this? My aunt, who was appointed from the former mansion, didn't let her go to Yuanying Hall to say hello if she had nothing to do!" Mother Lan became more and more unconvinced and complained, which made the magma in Huang's heart ready to spray.
I Reasonably, she knew that this matter was irrevocable, but emotionally, she could not accept such a good concubine to enter the door smoothly.
It was hard to get a message from Huang Tao. It was Jiang who came to send a message. Of course, he also complained: "Mr. Qiu, I have seen him before. The old pious woman in our family also invited her to come to live in the house. The surnamed Qiu was originally the eldest sister-in-law's mother-law's daughter. The little wives were married, and he had no er, so he was He was recommended to the government and was very close to the eldest brother. It must be that the mother and son looked at the second sister-in-law and had a bad heart. It was really hard to die. Your brother said that the thief mother and son were uneasy and kind, and he couldn't bear to let your sister suffer. It was hard to find out that the surnamed Qiu was initially interested in a personal soldier in the Duke's Mansion and wanted to marry his daughter to someone. Home, I don't know why I was persuaded by the eldest brother.
"How do you say that?" Huang was immediately concerned.
"Although the surnamed Qiu is a poor man, he is a self-respecting man. Originally, he was not willing to let his daughter be his concubine. Didn't the Guogongfu arrange a house for him? In the back alley of the house, there lived next door, which is the mother and son of the soldiers. Not long ago, the surnamed Qiu saw our eldest brother and wanted him to match Qiu and the relatives. There was a head of the outer courtyard. After listening to it, Qiu said that his own soldiers seemed to have some connections with the old prince. Although he was a staff member of the government, he was not as familiar with his uncle as his uncle. He wanted to ask his eldest brother to mention it first. The eldest brother may think that it was not easy for his family to come forward and planned to persuade his mother-in-law to discuss with the eldest princess first. His mother-in-law must have had bad intentions, but it turned out to let the big I persuaded my uncle that the girl would not pay attention and see if she could ask something famous from it. Huang Tao didn't want to get Huang's mother's will. If it can damage Qiu's reputation, the Duke's mansion is He Hexungui. Even if he is a concubine, he can't accept a woman who can't be innocent.
Huang hurriedly asked someone to find out who Mr. Qiu lived next door.
The name of his own soldier is Du Li, who was established recently. His father was an old minister of the old country and once fought with the battlefield. As a result, he died in the battle with the ten counties of naturalization. The old prince was very sympathetic to the orphans and widows. Du Li originally became a relative, but the daughter-in-law was domineering and Du's mother was not in good health. Often lying sick, his daughter-in-law not only did not serve the disease, but also often scolded the locust and coldly. Du Li was a filial son and wrote a divorce letter in anger.
Du Li is a person who is highly trusted by the Duke of Wei. Although he has not been the commander of the Duke of the State, I'm afraid that in the past two years, the Duke of Wei will recommend him as a hundred households of Jingwei. The future is bright. No wonder Mr. Qiu is willing to marry his daughter to him, but the daughter of the district staff has been withdrawn. Du Li may not like it. Maybe so, Mr. Qiu I plan to persuade the Duke of Wei to be a matchmaker through Jianninghou before I can make a calculation.
After Huang knew this inside story, she almost believed that it was Mrs. Huang, a witch, who blocked it. Seeing that Juan's children had become married, no longer controlled by her and had no scruples, she wanted to add obstacles to her!
The Duke of Wei is filial. Once the two elders reach an agreement, he will not disobey. No wonder as soon as the Qiu family came, the eldest princess immediately got the news. She should have known Qiu's people.
Huang's heart was painful and itchy, as if two rows of teeth had grown, biting her flesh and blood fiercely.
Thinking about herself over the years, she became a cow as a horse, did housework, endured full of resentment, and gritted her teeth to raise Su Yu's brother and sister into a human being. How can others understand that every time she thinks of the sinister and harshness of Huang's mother, she can't wait to swallow the three parents's three parents alive!
If it hadn't been for the future of Liu Niang and Xi'er, she couldn't have made a little mistake. Maybe she couldn't help doing it.
As a result, after years of forbearance, she still had to suffer from the disgust of the old pious woman. She admitted that she was gentle and respectful in front of her mother-in-law and was not picky. Compared with the Li and the Xu family, she was a well-deserved head mother. Even the former elder sister was not as careful as her. Unexpectedly, the eldest princess treated Li, a humble daughter-in-law, treated her humble family. Love, not to mention Xu, but for her... not to mention years of prevention, now she is easily provoked and intervened in the internal affairs of the long room.
Huang broke the palm of his hand, and then slightly calmed down his anger. He called Bai Lu and told her to immediately talk to Commander Qi - Commander Qi was young and emerged among a group of his own soldiers because of his outstanding swordsmanship. He was generous, loved to make friends, and could also convince the public. Coincidentally, Du Li was close friends with him. , I heard that he is still a brother with a different surname, maybe he knows something.
The two families of Qiu and Du were originally close neighbors. Mr. Mr. Qiu suddenly had an eye on Du Liqing. It is hard to guarantee that Qiu's heart was not moved first. The woman of a small family is far from a high house of this rich family. Qiu is not the daughter of a boudoir who can't go out of the door. If there is gossip... This matter may not have changed.
It doesn't matter if the Duke of Wei knows that she is probing. After all, she is the mistress of the Duke's government. Shouldn't she be cautious about "getting a concubine"?
Huang has no psychological burden.
The result naturally satisfied her. Commander Qi actually told Bai Lu that Qiu often went to Du's house to gossip with Du's mother and helped make needle-line decoction. He went back to find Du Li and happened to meet Qiu's family. Du's mother also introduced them and said that Du Li was always on duty, thanks to Qiu's frequent care.
When Huang heard this, he couldn't help but think about how to persuade the eldest princess to dispel Naqiu as a concubine.
And in the study outside the Duke's mansion, Duke Wei is also listening to the secret report he arranged--
"It was Bailu in the lady's courtyard. Today, she looked for Qi Wei to talk. The two people standing in the porch on the edge of the mirror pool, about half a quarter of the time, handed Qi Wei the same thing, and then returned to the back house. They were far away. They faintly saw as if they were a pair of insoles and didn't hear what they said."
It's actually Qi Wei!
Duke Wei raised his eyebrows, got up and walked out to the gate. He saw Qi Wei talking with people with a red face, and his eyebrows were dancing badly.
Duke Wei approached quietly and coughed heavily before interrupting Qi Wei's loud voice. The boy turned around flexibly. When he saw that it was the Duke, he immediately stood straight and the corners of his mouth were still not closed.
"Come with me." Duke Wei stepped out of the threshold and walked silently to the mirror pool until Liu Xia stood still, turned around and stared at Qi Wei inexplicably, and saw the white hair and sweat on his back of his "cronies", and the corners of his mouth were "sewn".
"What did you say to Bai Lu today?"
Qi Wei subconsciously trembled his eyebrows and bones, and his temples were slightly dyed red. Suddenly, he twisted and pinched for a while, and then opened his mouth: "I report back to the Duke of Wei, my subordinates are interested in Miss Bai Lu and are trying to persuade Gao Tang to ask his wife to marry... Today, Miss Bai Lu is here to send her subordinates insoles, er... They know that they should not be private. I accept it, but I can't help it..."
Duke Wei endured a few times and finally clenched his fist and rubbed his temples - Qi Wei was loyal and straightforward. He could not expect that Huang, who was the main mother, would be malicious and naturally unprepared against Bai Lu.
"Don't talk nonsense. I don't have time to pay attention to your affairs. I ask you what you said to Bai Lu today!"
Seeing that the Duke of Wei's face was full of solemnity, Qi Wei stopped the "internal confession". He felt inexplicable. After thinking about it for a while, he hesitated to answer: "Bai Lu is just gossip with her subordinates. When she talks about Miss Qiu and asks her if she knows her, of course she knows her. The godmother can praise Miss Qiu and says that she is kind-hearted, that is Du. Brother, I am grateful to Miss Qiu in my heart.
Sure enough, Bai Lu was instructed by Huang.
Duke Wei clenched his fist behind him, and his eyebrows were even more cold: "Before Qingping'an and his party, Bai Lu also met you before the New Year?"
Qi Wei's eyes widened and nodded in a daze: "Yes, Bai Lu asked what had happened outside. Why did the old lady restrain the little ladies to go out during that time, and even several ladies were not allowed to go to the banquet? She was very nervous, and her subordinates comforted her a few words... Later, she asked her if she wanted to go. Qingping'an, my subordinate answered yes and told her to be stationed outside the temple for three days. Because the prince's order, both the main courtyard and the back mountain must be careful and must ensure the safety of the princess. My subordinates also felt strange. They also muttered a few words with Bai Lu, saying that although Qingping'an is quiet, it is still under the jurisdiction of Kyoto, and there has never been anything in that area. What a mess..."
Speaking of this, Qi Wei's face turned pale and his eyes were staring blue, because he suddenly thought of the princess being attacked.
I panicked and subconsciously was about to kneel down.
"Get up straight." Duke Wei suppressed his voice, walked back and forth a few steps, and took a sharp look at Qi Wei: "Do you know what you should do?"
The sunlight was pale and poured on Qi Wei's bloodless face, and his shoulder spine was stiff.
"Bailu, she is a lady..." After a sound, a few words were squeezed out of his teeth, and a cold sweat was dripping on Qi Wei's forehead.
The Duke of Wei's fingers have also been stiff and faintly ringing. At present, Huang's heart is vicious and there is no longer suspicious. There is no such coincidence in the world. She has the intention to find out about the deployment of Qingping'an, and the next day she saw Jiang, and then Yijing was attacked. That's a poisonous arrow, and she wanted the life of the scenery!
"I dare not forgive my subordinates for their sins." Qi Wei no longer has the intention of marriage, and his face is like ashes.
Duke Wei closed his eyes and calmed his anger for a moment. Huang endured for many years without revealing a trace. His mind was cautious and detailed. He would not easily confess such a deadly plan to the servant. I'm afraid that even if Bai Lu got her instructions, she did not know her purpose, let alone Qi Wei. How could he think A few gossips almost killed the scene. Today, he admitted to Bu Gong, which showed that there was no idea of betrayal.
And with these alone, it is naturally impossible to implement Huang's crime.
In a moment, there has been a decision, and there is no anger in the deep voice: "From now on, you are no longer the personal guard of our government. I will give you a letter of recommendation, and you can go to the Chuzhou garrison. You can understand what to say and what not to say.
"Yes, I understand." Qi Wei was both annoyed and guilty, and his eyes had turned red.
Duke Wei was not in the mood to talk more with him. He waved his arm heavily and walked to Yuanying Hall with his head. He didn't want to be in front of the door, but he met Huang.
Under the scorching sun, Huang's dark lines were light red, and his elegant clothes made the corners of his lips more and more gentle. Although the "cidentally met" Duke of Wei at this time surprised her, she was just a short stunned and smiled without hesitation.
The back of Wei's waist palm clenched into a fist, as if his eyes were burned by the bright sun, his eyes were slightly, and the corners of his lips seemed to smile: "Why did you come to such a big sun?"
