Chapter 438 Suddenly there is a turning point, and the willow dark flowers are bright
Xie drew up the bride price list and calculated the details of the banquet. As soon as it was trivial, she handed it over to Shan's accompanying rooms. As long as she took it, she didn't have anything to work hard. There was nothing to do. The king's palace held a banquet, and the long history department was responsible for the regulatory process. There were also classic meals for the preparation of the banquet. There were ceremonial music, songs and dances, classics, etc. Officials control, Xiao Xie is not worried that these subordinate officials will be lazy at all. At least they hold a banquet in the royal palace, and always have to take into account the patriarchal style.
This is the advantage of the prince's mansion's "middle feeding" that is different from ordinary aristocratic housewives. It involves ceremonies and officials help to handle it. Everything can be done according to the rules of etiquette. You don't need to do it yourself and be happy and leisurely.
She found a "busy" reason to go out today. In fact, she was entrusted by Yu Dong to visit Xie Mansion in the outer city.
Although Yu Dong complained that the third master only cared about his own interests and rashly turned against the brothers of Zhen, he still planned to maintain good relations with the third master. Not to mention that the third master knew his selfishness, even for the sake of the money owner of the Nian family, he had to trap his own uncle.
So he asked Xiao Xie to bring a gift box to congratulate the third master on his "happy housewarming".
Although the location of the house in the outer city is slightly secluded, Sheng was renovated at the beginning of the year, and the floor area is not narrow, but this can't comfort the anger of the Third Master and the Nian family. In front of Xiao Xie, the Nian family scolded the Duke of Zhen and said that he would never give up. When he contacted Uncle Enyi, he had to kill the Duke of the country. Go and ask for justice.
Little Xie was instructed by Yu Dong and dared not participate in it any more, that is, he was just submissive.
After listening to the complaints and harsh words for more than half a day, Xiao Xie's happy mood was more or less affected. On the way back, he was a little depressed. When he returned to the Lixiangyuan and just drank a cup of tea to quench his thirst, he heard Shan's report of the news from Mother Zhu.
Since there were no detailed words, there was only one result - the imperial concubine was skillful, full of etiquette and patriarchal, and talked about the reputation of the clan, persuaded the old princess, and let the second wife marry herself.
It was already the late autumn evening, and the wind was getting cooler, but Xiao Xie was furious by the bad news, and his blood boiled all over his body.
However, Shan Shi also sighed repeatedly: "I have been wasted to waste my wife's hard work and painstaking efforts to take care of the feeding. After all, it is still not as good as the prince and the prince and the son have the holy family. At the beginning of this year, not to mention the Lu silver in the palace and the tributes from various places, there are many rewards on the festival, not to mention those industries. How much can Erlang's bride price be paid? The small weapon is so narrow. Besides, regardless of the dowry of the government, Guangping's fief is a large amount. For her, more than 100,000 yuan is like a handful of cattle. Even if the old princess ignores trifles, can she not know it? After all, it's still biased."
Xiao Xie saw that the wealth he had captured was about to fly. He was full of righteous indignation and grievance. Hearing this, his eyes were even more red. How could he be willing? First, he jumped his feet in the Lixiang courtyard to vent. He still felt that his anger went straight to the sky and couldn't help it. Without careful consideration, he rushed to Rongxi Hall with fierce momentum. Go.
In fact, over the years, she has been extremely favored in front of the old princess. The king of Chu is an uncle and it is not easy to argue with his wife, and it is even more impossible for Yu Yu to quarrel with his aunt. Xiao Xie has been called for wind and rain and has not been able to find his position for a long time. This time, he is really angry. There is no reason. Yu Dong repeatedly told him the word "hidden tolerance" He had been burned with anger for a long time, and he just wanted to make a fuss and splash as if he wanted to vent.
When I arrived at Rongxi Hall, I heard that Yijing came to sit with the old princess after taking a nap today. Xiao Xie snorted coldly, his eyes were full of hatred, and strode in.
It coincided with the two sisters Anran and Anjin's appointment to greet Rongxitang. During this period, because of the mediation of the good scenery, the old princess's attitude towards the two granddaughters has changed greatly. An Jin is a sharp person, driven by the good scenery, and her words are gradually lively. Although Anran is still as pure as ever, his expression is better than from the front. Many, no longer afraid of the head and brain, the old princess only felt happy in her eyes. At this time, her children and grandchildren gathered together and talked happily.
Suddenly, a "Thunder Mother" came and shouted solemnly at the Anran sisters: "Get out!"
The two little women like flowers and jade looked pale in an instant and "evaporated" without saying a word.
The old princess was also stunned, and the scenery was even more "shocked". She leaned beside the old princess with fear, and even "frightened" to see the ceremony.
Before the old princess came to her senses, Xiao Xie stepped forward, with two eyebrows and a pair of angry eyes. She was finally a little rational and did not go straight to the "pretentious" villain. Between the opening and closing of the two blue lips, the saliva splashed: "Jing girl, do you dare to make a mistake in front of the elder? How long has it been since you got married before you dared to make trouble? This is seven crimes. Don't think that you dare to act recklessly in the royal palace by relying on the momentum of your mother's family. No matter how noble you are, you should know that your husband's family is the emperor!"
Xie has been holding this for a long time. At that time, the scenery was not ready. Just because Yu Dong's father and son were married to the Su family, Xiao Xie had already regarded her as an imaginary enemy, thinking that the scenery would rely on the power of the state government and come to her "mother-in-law".
Yi Jing praised Xiao Xie in her heart - this temperament is so cute, and her unscrupulous words are really an excellent quality worthy of praise.
I won't contradict Xiao Xie. I just buried my face in the handkerchief that I quickly took out. I fell into the arms of the old princess and choked: "Grandma, I said that my second aunt will definitely blame me..."
"How dare you let the villain sue first!" Xiao Xie was furious. If it hadn't been for Mother Zhu's advice, she would have rushed up and started.
In addition to being shocked, the old princess did not come to her senses and directly transitioned to anger. She saw how clever and lively a child the beautiful scene used to be. At this time, she was so scared that she was so scared that her eyes were in tears. Under the anger, she added a piece of dry wood. First, she patted the beautiful scene's shoulder as comfort, and raised her face was full of frost: "What are you saying? Nonsense! Do you dare to bully people in front of me? Do you still know that this is in the royal palace? Do you still know that you are the emperor of the clan? It's really unruly!"
When Xiao Xie heard this, he covered his face and cried: "Mother, are you biased? Can't I beat Jing's mouth to please me over the years..." Her legs softened and fell into the circle chair beside her, crying to pieces.
Seeing the sadness of her niece, the old princess's anger subsided a little and slightly eased her tone: "Don't cry, family, what you should have said. Alas, the second daughter-in-law, not I said you, is also a person who is about to have a daughter-in-law. Her temperament has not diminished at all, and she has not been clear whether it is black and white. She came up with horizontal eyebrows. Angry, Jing is young and young. She used to be spoiled. How can she stand your fierce face?
Yi Jing pretended to be pitiful for a while and no longer acted coquettishly. He quietly took out another dry silk handkerchief in his sleeve, wiped his tearful eyes that were scented by mint and oil. First, Xie, who rushed forward and crawled on the table and cried bitterly, bent his knees: "Second aunt calmed down, even if I No, the second aunt teaches well..."
Of course, Xiao Xie knew that the scene was pretending, and her heart became more and more angry. She raised her hand and slapped--
At least, Yijing has also practiced a period of riding and shooting skills with his aunt. Although he did not dare to play an axe in front of martial arts practitioners, he would not let Xiao Xie really fight and stagger to the side, but his arm was swept by Xiao Xie's fingertips.
The old princess gently and angrily went straight to her forehead, slapped the case, pointed to Xiao Xie's index finger and trembled, and couldn't say a word for a while.
Yi Jing was also worried that the old princess would be angry, so she quickly stepped forward to hold her and advised her tightly, "Grandma, don't worry. My second aunt was also angry for a moment and didn't hit me." He also said to Xiao Xie, "No matter how angry the second aunt is, she should calm down first. As my grandmother said, she has something to discuss slowly... I know that the second aunt is in a hurry because of her second brother's marriage, but about the appointment, it does involve the law of the clan. I have been outspoken. If the second aunt feels that there is something wrong, please correct it. "
"What's the truth? What's the patriarchal law? The uncle inherited the throne, but Zhou'er is also a descendant of the royal palace... Mother, it's not that I covet these two money. I'm really wrong. Why do all the benefits belong to Uncle and Wei'er? Isn't the second master's father's flesh and blood? Even if the concubine comes out, if it is another family, the concubine's son can also divide the family property. The second master is not greedy for these, but it's just Zhou'er's marriage. Why can't the royal palace bear the bride price?
This nonsense may not be able to confuse the old princess, but today there has been a good-view analysis. At this time, I saw Xiao Xie's such arrogance and dared to fight against her granddaughter-in-law in front of her. Even if the old princess is confused, she will no longer recognize this crooked reason. First, she still sits in Luo Han**. He asked softly, "Are you really not playing?"
Little Xie was almost angry.
But without waiting for her to speak again, the old princess has stared sharply: "The royal title and family property are inherited by the eldest son, which is patriarchal law! The second is a concubine, but why have I treated him as a concubine over the years? Touch your conscience and think about it carefully! The second title has also been nearly 20 years, and the expenditure should be borne by the royal palace? Why did the prince and I ever care about these things, but Dong'er has always been a general of the town. He was crowned by the heavenly family and led the tribute. If you marry your eldest daughter-in-law, do you have the reason to let your brother give a bride price? Not to mention the founding of Dalong, think about the hundreds of years of Dongming, has there ever been such a precedent? I was fooled by you and agreed without thinking about it. Thanks to Jing'er's timely reminder, otherwise it will spread, won't others laugh at Dong'er and you for a little self-interest, and don't even care about the face of the royal family!"
When the old princess said this, her eyes turned red: "Dong'er is the prince's flesh and blood. As a direct mother, have I ever treated him a little? Not to mention Zhou'er and Xiang'er, who were born so big, don't I feel sorry for them when I watch them grow up? I have always hurt them as my own grandson. You said that I am biased, but I also admit that Yuaner is my grandson, and it's not good to beat his little body and bones. What's wrong with me to love him? Think about yourself, is it like Zhouer and Xiang'er?
Little Xie never thought that the old princess would say such righteous words. She was stunned for a moment. Although she felt her heartburn, she couldn't say anything.
This is a little regretful. I shouldn't be angry and unscrupulous. I consciously handed the handle to the front, and even grit my teeth with hatred of the "digging the pit and trap" of the scenery.
As soon as the arrogance decreased and the grievance surged up, Xiao Xie's tears couldn't stop.
The old princess suddenly felt wronged and shed tears: "That's all, there is nothing to argue about. I also know that you plan for Zhou'er's future. As a mother, how can you not be biased, but you can't ignore the rules. Don't mention this matter in the future. Family, don't fall into grudges because of money."
Xiao Xie's dream failed, and tears surged even more.
At this time, the curtain was lifted, and Yan'er reported: "The prince and the second master have come. They have been standing outside for a while and dare not disturb..."
As soon as Xiao Xie heard this, she completely woke up and knew that she had done something wrong again. She didn't know how Yu Dong would scold her. After all, she was still a girl. She knew that crying in front of her uncle in front of her uncle would only be humiliating, so she gradually stopped crying.
The scenery returned to normal early and stood aside.
The king of Chu looked calm and sat down as usual, but Yudong's face was as black as the bottom of the pot. He couldn't help kneeling on the ground: "Mother, they are all sons who are unfilial. Just because they were persuaded by their colleagues some time ago, they took their savings to start a bank with others. For a while, they couldn't turn around. Zhou'er's wedding date was urgent, and their son was also There was nothing I could do, so I asked my wife to ask my mother to agree to buy a bride price from the royal palace first, and then repay the money to my eldest brother. I thought that my wife would be wrong, so I made this misunderstanding. He stared at Xiao Xie again: "No matter how anxious you are, you shouldn't be unscrupulous. I think you are so lawless because of your mother's constant favor, and you don't apologize to your mother."
The second master was really better than Xiao Xie's. Unexpectedly, he thought of such an excuse. Yijing was depressed and looked at the king of Chu, but he frowned slightly. Obviously, he was not prepared.
It's a good situation, but it's a change!
Although this sentence is "borrowed", but there is no basis for saying it. Yu Dong and his wife are also sinister villains. For them, the word "honest" can't match the weight of a fart, and they really beat the dog with meat buns.
Little Xie was reminded by Yu Dong, his resentment suddenly subsided and he was overjoyed. He quickly knelt on the ground side by side and couldn't help glancing at Yijing and the King of Chu.
When it comes to this, the king of Chu has to take care of his siblings at least and can't stand by.
Little Xie raised the corners of his lips and admired Yu Dong.
