Chapter 681 The fan has ears and is greedy

On the low case of Jinsi nanmu set up by the window, the shadow of the tree is rustling, the autumn sun is shining, and the yellow leather house is piled up a foot high. The girl with blue silk hanging her shoulders slightly hangs her face, her eyebrows are dyed with halo, the long skirt with a light background wrapped her ankles, and the curly grass pattern stretched by the skirt also falls on the sun. She seemed to read it very attentively. After a long time, she gently turned over the page of the book, and sometimes said something, talking about the name and title copied in the mansion.

The furnishings in the tea room are extremely simple. In addition to this small case, there is only a row of low shelves. There is no jade ornaments and coral carvings that my daughter likes, but books of uneven height, and even plum bottles are missing. The only thing that can be called decorative rather than practical objects is about the corner. Green sandalwood root carving.

There is no incense in the room, and the vine contains a faint tea, and the thick and light fragrance of jade osmanthus with the slow west wind.

It was a quiet afternoon, but suddenly with a roll of bamboo curtains, the girl's light laughter disturbed a room of silence.

Qiniang and Ba Niang entered hand in hand. Seeing Liu Niang turning her head slightly with dissatisfaction, Qi Niang pushed a maidservant's little seal: "Just let you tell me know first, but you said it was unimped, but you disturbed Sister Six's work hard."

However, when Liu Niang saw that it was her sister, her expression had returned to peace. She stood up, first told Xiaozhu to "be served tea", and then let the two sisters to the banquet. There was no chair in the tea room, and there was a banquet on the platform, which seemed to throw a few plain apricot mats very casually.

Qi Niang took a look at the books that were still spread out on several cases. As soon as her eyes touched many boring words and dense names, Wu Xiu frowned: "Since the eighth sister is no longer addicted to poetry, she has been ignorant in the family book. When she goes back to her room, it is full of abacuses. Sister, I also saw you buried your head in the mansion. I'm the only one who is more and more idle by you, and there are many father and mother.

While closing the book, he threw it casually: "My father often teaches me the sixth sister, but as soon as I saw that this mansion copied the name of a dry person, I couldn't help but feel dizzy. They are all people I don't know, regardless of his promotion and relegation."

Liu Niang didn't seem to have the idea of defending, but she didn't care that Qi Niang threw away her "hobby" from the case. Ba Niang was worried that the seventh sister's joke would not respond to the embarrassment. She carefully pulled Qi Niang down: "The third uncle and the third aunt are the most lenient. How can they restrain the seventh sister? In addition, the seventh sister likes to ride and shoot, and she just voted Grandma's heart, replying, directly praising the seventh sister was like my aunt in those years. How dull I and the sixth sister were.

"Since I have leisure, my father doesn't have to go to the palace to be on duty every day, but he doesn't often teach me swordsmanship like when he was a child. Recently, he likes to talk to the sixth sister. I'm jealous of the sixth sister." Qi Niang smiled, but she didn't look annoyed at all. She raised her eyebrows gently: "Sixth sister, we didn't mean to disturb your quietness. I heard that the fifth brother-in-law was discussing with my father in the study. I had the intention to listen to the corner of the wall, but I was blocked by the maids. Dad has always appreciated the sixth sister and took you with you. Maybe it's accurate. We went in, and this should be counted. We haven't competed chess with our fifth brother-in-law for two years. I think I have made some progress, and I'm waiting for the opportunity to test it.

"The fifth sister and fifth brother-in-law didn't enter the palace today. Why did the fifth brother-in-law come to visit the third uncle now?" Liu Niang just spoke.

Qiniang and Ba Niang naturally ignored each other. They didn't even know that the beautiful scenery was far away. Qi Niang raised her eyebrows again: "Sister Eight, you have lost a game of me. I said that once the Sixth Sister knows that the fifth brother-in-law is visiting, you can let this stuffy gourd open its mouth, how about it?" He covered his mouth and smiled with the back of his hand and smiled: "Sister, my grandmother and my mother have been difficult for your marriage these days. Although there are many talents in Kyoto, there are only a few people who stand side by side with the fifth brother-in-law. I really don't know when the sixth sister chooses a son-in-law compared with Sha Tinke."

The three girls had already arrived. Because the eldest princess did not want them to marry early, the marriage was delayed. At this time, the youngest Ba Niang was almost 17 years old. Except for Liu Niang, the marriage of the next two took the lead. At this time, if they were not to be outsiders, the funny words between the sisters gradually became "bold", and Qi Niang has always jumped again. Take off, it's not as good as those reserved and shy boudoirs, so there is no pressure to make fun of Liu Niang.

What is rare is that Liu Niang is not as careless as before today. Her dark eyes stared straight at Qi Niang with a serious look, but she said, "I also heard from my grandmother that the marriage of the two sisters has been settled. You must be satisfied with your future husbands, and you are inevitably anxious. This implies that I have blocked you. Six gifts have been completed. I'm really sorry. Sisters, take care of it. As he spoke, he really got up and was blessed.

Qiniang certainly stared, and the innocent Ba Niang blushed with shame. She pulled Qi Niang up and leaned over to help Liu Niang. For a moment, she didn't know whether to defend or be scolded. Seeing that Liu Niang couldn't help raising the corners of her lips slightly. Then she came to her senses that the other party was also joking and stamped repeatedly: "It's all right for Sister Six to refute Sister Qi. , who told her to be unscrupulous, but even I was affected. What a injustice.

The three sisters laughed and made a fuss. Somehow, Qi Niang and Ba Niang teased each other. Instead, Liu Niang leaned against the window and looked at the right Yugui. She didn't know what was thinking. The light leaked by Ke Zhi penetrated into the bottom of her eyes, like shining into the deep cold pool, swallowed up by the paint. Looking carefully, she only There is a little trance in the depths.

"Sister, it's easy to block the fifth brother-in-law, why don't it..." Qi Niang wanted to mention the game again. She thought that the most urgent thing was Liu Niang.

Liu Niang stood up while pulling, but frowned slightly and said, "The fifth sister and brother-in-law just returned to Kyoto yesterday. They came to visit again today. There must be something business. It's not easy for us to disturb the third uncle to talk to the fifth brother-in-law. The fifth sister should also be in Yuanyingtang. It's better for us to see each other."

Qi Niang was a little stunned and smiled: "I ignored it. Yes, the fifth sister should be edicted to enter the palace today, and she should be walking with her brother-in-law."

The three sisters met Linglong on their way to Yuanying Hall, but the eldest princess asked her to invite Liu Niang.

Seeing that Liu Niang and Linglong turned around the corridor, Qi Niang said to Ba Niang, "It may be a matter of marriage. Eighth sister, why do I think this is extraordinary? Although the sixth sister is taciturn, she has always had her own ideas. She often attended banquets. If the sixth sister is impatient, she will refuse it bluntly, but this marriage Grandmother asked her what she wanted, but she didn't say anything. She only said that it was strange to rely on the elders to make the decision.

Ba Niang is obviously not used to talking about the marriage of sisters openly, and said, "Originally, the marriage should be decided by the elders, and the sixth sister is also a courtesy."

Qiniang shook her head and turned around with Ba Niang full of lawsuits.

Liu Niang followed Linglong into the Yuanying Hall, but she did not see the eldest princess and directly enter the main room as usual. Instead, she walked through the side door and took the partition on the east side of the tea room. She was suspicious. She saw Yijing sitting in a circle chair against the partition, holding a covered bowl in her hand and frowned. When she pushed the door and entered, she was exposed. Come on with a smiling face.

"Five Sister." Liu Niang came forward and was helped up by Yijing as soon as her knees were bent.

Yesterday, although Liu Niang went to the Wangfu and met Yijing, the two sisters had not yet had a chance to talk. At this time, Liu Niang was thinking about the words and intending to hide her uneasiness in her heart for a long time, but she was signaled by Yijing to "don't make a sound". Liu Niang was even more confused and held the warm tea according to the appearance of Yijing. After sitting for a moment, I heard the voice of my biological mother Huang's greetings from the other side of the partition, and said "I dare not be" with my grandmother.

As soon as Liu Niang frowned, Yijing covered her palms. A pair of clear pupils seemed to have pity and held Liu Niang's hand a little harder.

Although the eldest princess has been waiting for Huang for a long time, she did not mean to embarrass her. This "dare not be" is cold and indifferent, which must have made Huang a little panicked, and the silence at the other end of the fan was slightly longer.

Liu Niang turned her body slightly and looked at the green gauze on the partition, and could faintly see her biological mother standing beside her.

"Huang, do you know what's wrong?" The eldest princess's tone was even cold. When the voice fell, there was a crisp sound of the porcelain cup tapping on the tea tray.

This silence is longer.

"It seems that you are stubborn." The speaker was still the eldest princess: "Let me ask you, how did Feng'er's Geng Tie get into the hands of the empress dowager? What else did you say that you have reached a mutual wish with the Duke to give marriage style and Chen Liulang?"

Yijing looked at Liu Niang very worriedly. The absurd thing Chen Liulang made was already known in the streets and alleys, and the women in the boudoir also knew his details. As for Jinyang, it was probably only known today. Liu Niang must know it. The eldest princess was furious when she heard this just now. Of course, she refused to let Liu Niang marry the Chen family. He insisted on letting Liu Niang listen to Huang's intentions. Yijing was worried that Liu Niang was sad.

Liu Niang is Huang's biological daughter, but she is currently being used by her biological mother. She uses her lifelong events to seek power, and she doesn't care about Liu Niang's happiness. If she were, she would be cold and sad, but I'm afraid it can't be avoided.

However, beautiful scenery did not find shock or anger pain between Liu Niang's eyebrows. Although the eyebrows frowned more tightly, only doubts and calculations appeared.

Then he heard the other end of the fan and said, "My concubine did give Feng'er's Geng post to the Chen family. This was also Mrs. Chen's frequent to discuss with my concubine. Later, the empress dowager's edict saw that although my concubine knew that this should not be hidden from her mother and the prince, Feng'er has always been my concubine, and the concubine can also be the master of the marriage."

It turned out to be such a strong attitude. It seems that Huang is no longer planning to maintain a "virtuous" face.

heard her again and said, "This matter was originally the intention of the empress dowager, and my concubine also understands that Liulang was very ridiculous in the past. His mother and the Duke will not agree, but at present, the emperor has a lot of fear of the Duke of Wei. The second uncle and the third uncle are now idle. If the Duke of the State is the sixth mother again The Empress Dowager was enraged, and my concubine was really worried..."

Every word, she plans for the family.

Binjing's palms were slightly heavy, but what she felt was Liu Niang's backhand. When she raised her eyes, she saw a calm face, which seemed that even her doubts and calculations had disappeared, and even the corners of her lips curled gently. Although the smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes, there was no sarcastic sadness.

"When will my Su family rely on aggrieved descendants to retain glory, and it's not your turn to worry about honor and humiliation." The eldest princess was obviously angry, but her tone was more indifferent.

"My concubine is the imperial wife of the imperial court, and she wants to do her best for the family." Huang also confronted each other: "If the mother and the prince really disapprove of this marriage, they can also explain to the empress dowager that as long as the empress dowager is no longer pursued, the Chen family will not force it."

Hearing this, Yijing was very depressed. Although he knew that it was not up to Huang, it was difficult to resist his anger.

Liu Niang also suddenly got up. Just as Yijing thought she was going to push away the partition, she saw her move out.

The carved door opened, and the autumn sun shone into the threshold, stabbing a bright sting on the green brick. Liu Niang stepped out of the threshold, and her shoulder ridge was straight, but she stood under a honeysuckle.

Yi Jing followed immediately, and then called the "sixth sister" but did not know how to persuade her.

"The eldest sister and the fifth sister have already seen their mother's thoughts." Liu Niang smiled faintly at the corners of her lips.

A word "also" has many meanings.

But that's her biological mother. Even if she knows that her biological mother has a ulging heart, alienation and indifference are not so easy.

"I just don't know whether I will marry Chen Liulang or not, what are the benefits for my mother? I read Di Chao. During this period, many of Chen Shenyi's acquaintances and colleagues have been transferred from important positions by the Holy Lord. Is Chen Shenyi actually at peace with the Empress Dowager? I asked the third uncle, and he didn't want to tell me, fifth sister..." Liu Niang took a deep breath: "If I don't expect it wrong, the emperor will not want to maintain in-laws between the Duke of Wei and the King of Chu. Although you have returned safely, you may still be dangerous in the future."

Liu Niang's calmness made Yijing worried. After several hesitation, she raised her hand and gently stroked Liu Niang's hair: "You guessed well, but you don't need to worry about these things. Sixth sister, the elders will never be coerced by the Empress Dowager."

"I understand what grandma meant for me." Liu Niang held Yijing's hand and smiled more deeply: "I'm not worried. Of course, our Duke of Wei will not be coerced."
