The rumors spread quickly and dissipated quickly.
Although no one from the Xie family came forward to refute the rumors, the palace had already spoken out. The third son of the Xie family had no plans to marry him, and everything came from groundless sources.
The Tianjia spoke out to refute the rumors in person, and the people naturally did not dare to discuss them in public, but they still had to discuss one or two secretly.
For these, Xie Yunqing didn't care at all.
The queen summoned Gu Yunshuang into the palace to speak, and also talked to Gu Yunshuang. If she wants to talk about a girl for the third brother in the future, she will send someone to talk to her personally. As soon as the queen said this, even if the old lady wanted to give Cheng Lin to the third elder brother, she had to weigh whether she had the face to make the queen come forward.
After Gu Yunshuang left, the queen mother asked the queen to speak in her palace.
"So, the two young ladies of the Cheng family are still in the filial piety period?" the queen mother asked slowly, her expression calm, but her eyes were cold.
The queen said: "Ms. Xie said so, and there are rumors outside that the two girls pushed each other for the third son of the Xie family, but the third son of the Xie family went back to the academy to study after the New Year. The two girls hadn't even seen the third son of the family. Over."
The queen mother sneered: "Do you still have to guess? It must be because of the glory and wealth of the Xie family. The young girl doesn't even want a bit of face. Then Xie Yan is still the eldest lady of the ** government. Why don't you even teach this rule? It's simply outrageous."
"The remote place of Bingzhou is not as good as our capital. In the final analysis, it depends on the family tradition of the Cheng family."
"To pass on the will of the Ai's family, they said that the Ai's family sympathized with their sisters' failures, and sent people to send the "Four Books of Women" to their two sisters, and asked them to transcribe a hundred times. Three months later, the Ai's family personally inspected it."
The queen mother attaches great importance to etiquette and rules. Whoever makes a mistake in the palace on weekdays, she can just open one eye and close one eye. However, Cheng Lin and Cheng Yao really dissatisfied the Queen Mother. The two young girls could be so shameless. If you don't do a good job of punishment, the girls in Beijing will follow along with them. Isn't it a mess
The queen respectfully said: "The concubine took it down."
When the queen came out of the Queen Mother's Palace, she immediately prepared two sets of "Four Books for Women" and sent them to the ** Gongfu, and sent someone to beat Xie Yan.
Although the old lady of the Xie family is unreliable, she is the widow of the old man, even if she is a queen, she can't say that this old lady is not.
As soon as the people sent from the palace left, the old lady hurriedly called Xie Yan and asked, "What did the palace say?"
Xie Yan's face was sallow, and she said after a while: "The mother sent from the palace said that the trouble between Sister Lin and Sister Yao has been irrational, and it has been passed to the ears of the queen mother. The queen mother let us Strictly discipline and restrain Sister Lin and Sister Yao."
After listening, the old lady gritted her teeth and said: "I knew that it was Gu Yunshuang who was uncomfortable. It was obviously a good thing to kiss and kiss, but she didn't agree, and she went to the Queen Mother. What a misfortune..."
Xie Yan red eyes, "Mother, what kind of fairy do you say that our mother and daughter have committed this? Why is our sister Lin not worthy of that Zhang brother? The sister-in-law must violate us like this."
"Don't be afraid, my son, Sister Lin is beautiful and virtuous, and I'm afraid I can't tell a good marriage? Tell Sister Lin to Brother Zhang, I'm afraid that Sister Lin will be wronged, let's Lin
Sister, even if the princess and concubine are worthy of anything, the mother will be the master for you. "The old lady hugged Xie Yan, her face distorted with excitement.
The little maid serving tea on the side listened, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly. She is the son of the Xie family. Since she was a child, she was taught that everything must be considered for the Xie family, so she turned around and told Gu Yunshuang the conversation between the old lady and Xie Yan. .
Gu Yunshuang got a verbal promise from the queen because she entered the palace, so her heart was relieved. The old lady did not dare to toss again in a short period of time. She was in a good mood at this time, and she rewarded the little maid with a handful of silver.锞子.
"The old lady has lived for so many years, and she doesn't know what's in her mind, she knows all the time to be stubborn, and it doesn't make people worry about it." Gu Yunshuang said to the nanny Wu who has served him for decades.
Mother Wu poured a cup of tea for Gu Yunshuang, and said in a warm voice: "After boiled for most of your life, you don't know the old lady's temperament. If you have to be more patient with her, she will be more aggressive with you and demand more. Now you and the old lady are married, but what does it have to do? You are the master of the Xie family’s backyard. After all, the old lady is just the stepmother of the grandfather of the country. You and her can only maintain the appearance Harmony, just keep outsiders from watching Xie’s jokes."
Gu Yunshuang sighed softly, "I used to think that everything must be done to perfection, how can the family be harmonious and happy. Now it is really chilling to see the old lady's attitude like this. They didn't even consider us their relatives at all. Although Cheng Lin and Cheng Yao are her granddaughters, it is really hateful to be so unreasonable and improper to hold the Xie family's face."
Mother Wu persuaded: "The old lady praised her granddaughter as a god, and in the future let her have a headache for the marriage of the two cousins. You only need to worry about the marriage between our third son and the young lady."
Gu Yunshuang thought that her eldest grandson was already so old, she felt that the years were merciless, she said leisurely: "Our Xie family's eldest lady has also grown up. I was afraid that she would suffer from her reckless temper. Now it seems that Xu is getting older and knows how to converge, but my mother still feels a little distressed."
Since she returned from a tour of northern Xinjiang with Xie Yong, she found that her daughter had become much more stable. In addition to going to school, the daughter kept herself in her yard all day long. He heard from Wei Ran's servants that her daughter was either playing the piano or reading and writing.
Such a quiet and well-behaved, she was afraid that her daughter could hold back any problems.
"You said," Gu Yunshuang considered the sentence, "has Aqing been too safe lately?"
Xie Yunqing used to be the one who didn't cause trouble every day and was uncomfortable. Although his nature was not bad, he was too naughty after all. Although she couldn't bear to punish her daughter, she was still a little angry in her heart.
Madam Wu also hesitated and seemed to be thinking about whether she should speak, "When the maid went to northern Xinjiang with the grandpa, the slave was worried that the maid would cause trouble, and asked the maid’s little granddaughter Qingluo to take good care of the maid. Rili also persuaded the eldest lady to study. The servant girl came back and listened to the girl from Qingluo saying that when the old lady wanted to bring her grandmother and two cousins back, the lady firmly disagreed."
"The eldest lady and the old lady had an unpleasant relationship for a while, and then the Shen family came to **
*Speaking, the lady accidentally fell into the water and came back and got sick. When he was sober, he went to the old lady's yard, saying that he agreed to the Cheng family to move to Xie's residence. "
Gu Yunshuang's face became more serious as he listened, "You mean, Qing has become quiet recently. Is it related to that fall into the water?"
Sister Wu nodded and said: "A little girl, her most trusted relative is not around. She was bullied by an unreasonable old lady and fell into the icy lake again. She must feel aggrieved in her heart. I have been holding back for a long time, presumably. There are things in my mind, so I don’t want to say it anymore."
Gu Yunshuang said: "I have neglected to care for A Qing. Since we were young, we only wanted to give the best of everything to A Qing. But the grandfather and I were too busy to spend much time with A Qing, she There are no sisters. I finally have a Shen Miaohua. After this incident, I can see the other side of that girl. I always feel uneasy when Aqing gets along with people like Shen Miaohua. Fortunately, she is alienated from Shen Miaohua."
As Gu Yunshuang was talking, he thought of another thing.
The day before Xie Yong's resignation, it was her daughter who came to see Xie Yong. Although she didn't know what the father and daughter said, Gu Yunshuang knew that Xie Yong's surrender of the military power and resignation was definitely the first thing her daughter raised.
There is also the case of Xie Zhang. She didn't want to agree to the old lady's unreasonable request, and she was afraid that Xie Zhang's reputation would be stained by this incident. Under the frustration, Xie Yunqing put forward the countermeasures.
Xie Yunqing sent someone to chew her tongue in front of Cheng Yao. It was obvious that Cheng Lin was one year older than Xie Zhang. She was the right person to marry Xie Zhang. Why did her grandmother and mother marry her sister to Xie Zhang? Cheng Yao felt that her grandmother and mother were very partial, so naturally it was not easy to find her grandmother and Xie Yan to argue, so she went to provoke Cheng Lin. The two sisters argued and pushed, and someone spread the matter.
Then, someone inadvertently revealed that he was from Binzhou and had some information about the Cheng family. The gossiping people in the market asked, and the man pretended to like to show off and confided.
"Others don't know I still don't know? Why do you think the Cheng family's mother and daughter come to the capital? That Mrs. Cheng, Xie's grandmother, is fierce and jealous, a bowl of soup knocked out the uncle's posthumous child in the aunt's belly, killing two Ah. The old lady of the Cheng family fainted several times with anger, and the Cheng family did not wait to see Mrs. Cheng. In the end, Madam Cheng couldn't stay at the Cheng family, so she took her two daughters into Xie's house."
In the end, that person's intentions were still not fully summarized, "What kind of good girl can be taught by such a cruel woman? Madam Xie is also a shrewd one, so it's strange that her son can marry Madam Cheng's daughter?"
As soon as this person's voice fell, everyone began to guess that he said it was somewhat possible.
You said that since my uncle's bones were not cold, Madam Cheng moved out with her daughter in a hurry. Apart from being unable to stay at her in-laws' house, what's the explanation? So the public opinion in Beijing all pointed to the pickled things in the backyard of Cheng's family.
If it weren't for her daughter's calm and composure, I am afraid that this matter would not have been handled so satisfactorily, at least the Xie family had not been hurt at all because of this matter.
My daughter has grown up and is smart, but this kind of growth makes Gu Yunshuang feel distressed. If you can protect your daughter so that she can't see these dark sides, her daughter will still be that simple and carefree girl.
Gu Yunshuang felt a sense of frustration in her heart.
