"I was surprised before. This fourteenth sister-in-law has always been so smart. Even if she is a rough boss, she will not offend her easily without some reason. Besides, my mother has a good reputation. She has fallen into a trap at this moment and is also involved. Not to mention Bage's entire backyard, even Bage's concubine children probably hated her to death. What on earth do you want to do in such a way that goes against her temperament?" Qiu Yilan rubbed her forehead with a solemn expression, "Now it seems that she is probably pregnant again. "
"The Fourteenth Young Madam is pregnant?" Su He asked in surprise, "Why hasn't there been any news about it?"
"You don't want to think about what happened to her when she was pregnant for the first time. How dare she reveal it?" Qiu Yilan stroked her swollen belly and said with an ugly face, "That person who is both her biological mother-in-law and her biological aunt wants to be with her mother's family. Be careful when asking for help, don't let the news get to her ears and get rid of her!"
Su He helped run errands about what happened back then, so he knew about it. Now when he recalled it, he gasped: "If I hadn't personally participated, I can't believe that there are such people in the world! In comparison, our wife It’s so philanthropic!”
"The Zhuangzi where the Fourteenth Sister is going now is far away from the capital. It's a remote place and it's not easy to get there." Qiu Yilan recalled it - although He Shuijin was busy this time, as a The person raising An'er must also have a rough idea, "When the time comes, I will report my illness there, or simply find someone to destroy the road. In short, I will find a way to delay it for a few months. I am pregnant, and I will give some benefits to Aunt Chi." The third uncle came to intercede, and the third uncle promised to let her stay in Zhuangzi until the birth!"
"Based on what I know about this fourteenth sister-in-law, I'm afraid her plan is not just for a safe delivery, lest the He family get mad and attack her again. She went to Zhuangzi to have a baby in preparation for the birth. The huge Duke's mansion is not Maybe no one will take over!”
Qiu Yilan sneered, "Shi's husband just died, and now he's still lying on the couch! Zhang's abilities are not enough. She can't manage such a big mansion by herself. What else can He do if he doesn't come out to take the lead again?! Sister-in-law Fourteen’s methods, don’t take this opportunity to dig a big hole for her!”
Su He stuck out his tongue: "After all, the third lady is not a good person, this is just retaliation!"
"Both my mother-in-law and I were taken advantage of this time!" Qiu Yilan figured out He Shuijin's plan and couldn't help curling her lips, "Without my mother-in-law controlling the He family, how could the 14th sister-in-law leave the capital? When we went to that remote village this time, it was because of my pregnancy that Ms. He had to let her go out... But she was really pitiful. She met such an elder, but she came from the same family, and she was in the way of her parents' family. The hands are tied, it’s not about not dealing with her... I don’t know what kind of hole she dug for the He family this time, how can I deal with her without disturbing the He family! "
Sighing, "You prepare some medicinal materials for fetal protection and abortion from my storehouse, follow the clever people from the Ruan Mansion, quietly catch up with her, and give them to her in the name of snacks or something like that. I don't want to embarrass her, but she This time he didn’t even say anything to me, so he had to beat me!”
During the time when she and Mrs. Zhuang were slightly distracted by the little Tao mother and son, the discussion about Ling Zui's marriage in the mansion of the eldest princess Maode was coming to an end - the eldest princess frowned and said to her daughter Ling Qu: " It's been a few days since the Jiang family communicated. We are the man here, so we can't wait too long. We must reply today and tomorrow!"
Ling Qu thinks this is something to consider? Said: "My daughter thinks it's okay. Mrs. Zhuang loves her niece very much and treats her as her own daughter. Moreover, my younger brother just saved Mrs. Zhuang's biological daughter before. There is no need for Mrs. Zhuang to trick him. She must have good intentions to bring him and Zhuang Man together now." ”
"How can there be no problem?" Princess Maode asked worriedly, "Why don't I know she has good intentions? But think about Zui'er's reputation in the capital! I don't know if Mrs. Zhuang just came back, or will the Zhuang know? ? We agreed happily, but if her niece is not willing, how can we step down? !”
… When Jiang Jiadou defeated the Gu family and started dividing the cake, as the fourth brother-in-law and a die-hard member of the Jiang family, Zhuang Mo should have been promoted. But the Jiang family was fighting within the family, and the four-fang court was too weak, so the positions offered to him were almost worthless. Zhuang Mo was so angry that he simply refused the promotion and continued to work as his secretary!
This imperial son, Si Yecai, was only from the fourth rank. Even if he was his legitimate daughter, marrying the youngest son of the eldest princess and the Marquis would definitely not be qualified under normal circumstances.
Even though the Jiang family, the in-laws of the banker, are very powerful now, the eldest princess, as the legitimate royal daughter and the biological aunt in the world, still needs this face, right
So she felt very embarrassed—after all, she still didn’t know what her son looked like? If she hadn't really found a suitable one, she loved her youngest son so much that she would have married him long ago!
Ling Qu reminded: "Since Mrs. Zhuang loves her niece so much, wouldn't she ask her what she means first?"
"Didn't Mother Chang say that if our family is interested, Mrs. Zhuang will go and ask the dealer about his intentions?" The eldest princess hesitated.
Ling Qu was a little dumbfounded: "You also said that we are the men and the banker is the girl! You said that Mrs. Chang is embarrassed to tell you that the banker has already agreed, so you are waiting for our family to speak?"
"Even so, Zui'er has never seen Mrs. Zhuang's liveliness. Don't you remember it when you were a child?" The eldest princess frowned, "Her little niece is no quieter than her eldest niece! I didn't do it when I came to visit. Don't listen to your cousins mentioning that she is very flamboyant and has the same demeanor as Mrs. Zhuang... In the past, when the eldest daughter of the Jiang family and the third daughter of the Jiang family did not leave the court, there was nothing they could do about her, especially when she had the Jiang family to do it! "Reliance, don't bully Zui'er! It's not like you don't know that although Zui'er likes to spend time and party, he is not sensible, but his temperament is easy to talk to."
His brows furrowed even more as he said this, "He was joking with the eldest lady of the Ou family before, and he was beaten as if by that eldest lady. Didn't he just hold his head and run away without thinking about it?"
If this matter hadn't been caused by Ling Zui's fault, even if Ou Qinglan's elders were not easy to deal with, the eldest princess would have come to her door long ago to ask for an explanation for her son!
Ling Qu hummed: "It would be better to be more powerful! Mother, didn't you say before that this lazy little brother should marry someone more powerful to control him?!"
"But you can't be too powerful!" The eldest princess obviously felt soft-hearted when she saw her son and was about to regret it. She argued, "If it's too powerful, should we still control him? It's just to discipline him, right?"
"Shouldn't the little brother be disciplined?" Ling Qu had long thought that Ling Zui should be properly disciplined, lest he could only rely on his parents to eat and wait for death in this life. He said disapprovingly, "In the beginning, he was actually good at studying, but later he was lazy. "
The eldest princess scolded: "Nonsense! Is it so easy to get out of Hanlin?"
Ling Qu knew that her mother always doted on her younger brother, so she twitched her lips and said, "Okay, then my daughter would like to ask you, if you reject this marriage for him, is there a suitable person?" She spread her hands, "If there is, it can still be done. Wait until today?”
He added, "Besides, why are you worried about Miss Zhuang bullying your younger brother? Miss Zhuang's only reliance is the fourth brother of the Jiang family. But think about who is the most valued heir of the fourth brother of the Jiang family now? Jiang Yashuang! Jiang Yashuang! His wife, Princess Ningyi, had been taken care of by her younger brother before she came out of the palace, not to mention the relationship between her younger brother and Ruan Qingyan! The four members of the Jiang family now rely on Ruan Qingyan! "
"Besides, my daughter heard early in the morning that Princess Ningyi has a good relationship with Miss Zhuang. Do you think Miss Zhuang would bully her younger brother for the sake of the princess?"
Ling Qu said disapprovingly, "To take a step back, Miss Zhuang is as aggressive as Mrs. Zhuang. You said that although Mrs. Zhuang has a reputation of jealousy for so many years, when has she ever been embarrassed to be called General Zhenbei? Zhuang's Aunt My nephew knows how to handle things, and he is not a fool like Princess Qi!"
Princess Maode rubbed her forehead for a while: "Well, call him over and ask him about himself!"
... Ling Zui was called over and heard that it was Zhuang Man. He thought about it carefully and then hesitantly said: "Do you remember that Miss Zhuang is extremely shrewd?"
"My son doesn't like it, does he?" The eldest princess breathed a sigh of relief.
Ling Qu couldn't help snorting coldly when he saw this, thinking that his mother always doted on his younger brother so much, and he didn't know when this younger brother would be able to make a difference
Unexpectedly, Ling Zui's eyes lit up and he said, "You're so aggressive!"
"..." At this time, the eldest princess and her daughter were both stunned. They looked at each other for a long time before hesitatingly said, "Didn't you take a detour when you saw Ou Qinglan before?"
"There aren't any aggressive women in your backyard, right?" Ling Qu looked at him suspiciously, "What kind of madness are you getting?"
The eldest princess scolded her daughter: "What are you talking about!" She turned to Ling Zui and quickly changed her face to a kind face, "Zui'er, don't be afraid of your sister. If you have any ideas, just tell me!"
Ling Zui rubbed his hands and said awkwardly: "My child... I just feel that shrewd women are really good-natured and easy to get along with!"
"This... if it's easy to get along with, wouldn't it be easier to get along with someone who is gentle and virtuous?" The eldest princess choked after hearing this, and after a long while she said, "You kid... do you like aggressive people or do you like easy people? ah?"
Ling Qu was also a little confused and said: "I think Miss Zhuang can definitely control you from messing around. As for saying she is easy to get along with... it depends on your luck, right?" Anyway, among the ladies in the capital, except for Princess Ning Yi and Ou Qinglan , Princess Chunfu, Zhuang Man’s biological sister is probably the only one who thinks she is easy to get along with!
If this can be regarded as a reputation for being easy to get along with, are there still difficult people in the world
"You can't talk about what Chunfu did. What else can I say besides praising Miss Zhuang's true temperament?" Ling Zui racked his brains to think of reasons, silently going crazy in his heart, "No matter how aggressive and arrogant Miss Zhuang is, there is someone The good thing is that she puts her happiness and anger aside, and if I offend her, she will make a fuss openly, which is safer than Chunfu, right?"
The type of Princess Chunfu usually looks gentle, virtuous, self-denying and tolerant, but she doesn't want to be patient anymore, and there are no signs at all: her two direct cousins cut her off as soon as they said they would, and there was no trembling after the cut!
After witnessing the scene in Shazhou, Ling Zui couldn't help but think that this was another hidden version of pure happiness when he heard "the young lady from so-and-so's family is gentle and virtuous" - and then he thought of this woman's gentle and generous face. After entering the house, she took good care of her and took care of her. When she was free, she would take the initiative to introduce two flower-like concubines to herself, and then raised her children as her own children... Finally, one day she finally couldn't bear it anymore and did all kinds of things to herself. Chop, chop and mix with noodles to make steamed buns...
Just thinking about it makes me sweat all over my body! ! !
"Anyway, I won't get close to a girl with a similar temperament to Chunfu even if I beat her to death!" Ling Zui thought in fear as he coaxed his mother and sister, "Miss Zhuang is fierce, very fierce, not good at pretending, and is not happy in her heart. It’s better to have a wife who is jealous and quarreling all the time than to have a wife who is usually virtuous and generous and doesn’t know why I died!”
I thought that if I missed this village, there would be no store like this - there are not many ladies with reputations for being shrewd, but the one who has such a reputation and dares to say that she will be the daughter-in-law of the eldest princess is only Zhuang Man - Ling drunkenly stalked her, Must marry!
