Outside the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, it is very lively today, and from time to time, people pass by pretending to be casual.
No, two middle-aged women in their forties and fifties came again.
"Aunt Liu, have you heard?" One of the green-clothed women winked at the brown-clothed woman beside her.
The brown-clothed woman looked towards the gate of the palace knowingly, and said with great interest: "Ms. Wang, my sister-in-law happened to pass by at that time, and I saw it with my own eyes. That girl looks so delicate, like a tofu Like Xi Shi, that Mr. Fang is really beautiful and blessed!"
"I'm sorry for this delicate girl," the woman in Cuiyi sighed with regret, "I see, once you enter the gate of the palace, don't even think about getting out!"
"But don't their big families talk about three wives and four concubines? Why is the eldest girl in the palace unwilling to accept that little lady? After all, that girl is a poor girl..."
"Aunt Wang, don't even think about it. The eldest daughter of the palace is like a princess in our southern border? Have you ever seen a princess-to-be concubine take a concubine?"
"That's true..."
The two women gradually walked away...
Behind them, a little girl carrying a snack basket heard all these words, sighed helplessly, and then entered through the side door of the palace.
Hey, the big girl is really in bad luck, she was made a fuss by that Xiu'er in the afternoon, and now there is a lot of rumors in the streets and alleys, especially the name of the big girl's jealousy is plausible.
When this kind of thing happens to a man, it means that it is a blessing, but if a woman gets involved, her reputation will be tarnished!
Even the eldest daughter of the palace is no exception!
Outside the palace, there was a lot of discussion; inside the palace, there was endless embarrassment.
These things naturally spread to Nangong Yue's ears through the mouths of the maids. Nangong Yue was really worried about Xiao Fei. After hearing that she had returned to Yuebiju from Fang's courtyard, she hurried to be with her , playing chess and stroking the piano together as if having nothing to do...
When he learned that Xiao Yi hadn't come back, he simply stayed with her for dinner.
Of course Xiao Fei understood that Nangong Yue had come to accompany her specially, and was very moved. Thinking that Nangong Yue was tired all day today, Xiao Fei was about to persuade her to go back to rest early, but she saw Taoyao hurried into the room, first bowed her knees to the two masters, and then said with some embarrassment: " Miss, the third uncle of the Fang family took Master Leibiao to his wife just now, saying that he came to apologize, and then, then..."
Taoyao swallowed her saliva, and finally said in a vigorous voice: "Then the third uncle's wife handed over the Geng Tie to Madam, Madam did not agree for the time being..." But she did not refuse either.
The Geng post is a formal marriage proposal. Once Xiao Fang agrees, it will no longer be no match and no employment as mentioned in the afternoon!
For a moment, Xiao Fei's face turned pale.
What makes her sad is not the third aunt who proposed marriage, but the mother's attitude!
In the afternoon, she had made it so clear to her mother that she would never marry cousin Lei, but her mother still ignored her thoughts...
Why on earth did the mother disregard her wishes like this?!
Xiao Fei couldn't help but think of Han Qixia, presumably sister Xia was really desperate that day, so she resolutely abandoned everything she once had...
No!
You can't do this yourself!
Xiao Fei stood up abruptly, and said to herself: If mother thinks that she will obediently let her make arrangements, she is very wrong!
"Sister Fei," unexpectedly, Nangong Yue took Xiao Fei's hand and said seriously, "You wait here. I'll go to the main courtyard and talk to my mother."
"Sister-in-law..."
Xiao Fei wanted to say something, but Nangong Yue stopped her with gestures: "If you treat me as a sister-in-law, let me go."
Xiao Fei, a girl who has not left the cabinet, if she keeps talking about marriage to Mrs. Fang San, it will only hurt her reputation even more.
Although this matter is not so legitimate for me to come forward, but I can only drive the ducks to the shelves...
Nangong Yue took Baihui to Xiaofang's courtyard in a hurry, one maid immediately trotted to report, and the other led Nangong Yue to the main hall.
Before reaching the entrance of the main hall, a voice from the room was already heard from afar:
"Aunt," Fang Shilei said politely, "it's all my nephew's fault. My nephew was ignorant when he was young, so he committed such mistakes. That Xiu'er, my nephew has already sent someone away. Please ask my aunt Explain one or two things to my cousin. In the future, my nephew will definitely treat my cousin wholeheartedly!"
"Hey, Brother Lei, what do you want my aunt to say about you?" Xiao Fang sighed helplessly, "You are too careless! Since you have a heart for Sister Fei, you should have 'arranged' that woman to be the one." , why bother..." Her words sounded like reprimands, but her tone was not harsh.
"Fourth Aunt," Mrs. Fang San said with a smile on her face, "Do you want to settle the marriage of the two children as soon as possible, so as not to cause extra complications and let outsiders speculate and speculate, which will ruin Sister Fei's reputation?" !"
Xiao Fang paused for a moment, then finally nodded and said: "That's right... Nanny Qi, go and get Sister Fei's Geng Tie!"
"Wait a minute, mother!" Nangong Yue finally couldn't bear it anymore.
For a moment, all three people in the main hall looked at her in unison, Nangong Yue's face sank like water, she stepped forward to bless Fu behind her, and said: "Mother, I don't think Cousin Lei and Sister Fei are very compatible! "
Nangong Yue's words were so merciless that Mrs. Fang's mother and son's faces turned black when they heard it.
Xiao Fang didn't have so many scruples, and said in a cold voice: "Since ancient times, children's marriage is the order of parents and the words of matchmakers. The imperial concubine is too lenient! Sister Fei's marriage It's not your turn to intervene, Crown Princess!"
Nangong Yue smiled slightly, and said plausibly: "Mother, as the old saying goes, the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother. The daughter-in-law is naturally qualified to speak about Sister Fei's marriage."
Xiao Fang was so angry that he stopped talking for a while, knowing that Nangong Yue was trying to make sense.
The so-called "eldest sister-in-law is like a mother" means that under the premise that her mother is dead or her mother is not around, her biological mother is right here, so it's Nangong Yue's turn to intervene in Xiao Fei's marriage.
How could Nangong Yue not understand this truth? She knew in her heart that it would be unwise for her to force her words at this moment, but if the two families were allowed to exchange Geng Tie, even if she tried to find a way to break the marriage at that time, there would be that Xiuer in the palace first. The commotion at the door, the rumors from the outside world may be even more outrageous, and Xiao Fei's life may really be ruined.
Even if the eldest daughter of the palace has no worries about marrying, once her reputation gets in the way, those who come to ask for her will probably be people with ulterior motives!
Xiao Fang looked at her anxiously, and could no longer pretend to be virtuous in the past, and said coldly: "Sister Fei's marriage is decided by my mother, and the concubine Shizi takes good care of your own Bixiaotang. Stop meddling in your own business! Nanny Qi, hurry up."
Nanny Qi hurriedly responded, ran back to the inner room, and quickly took out a red letter, which seemed to have been prepared a long time ago.
Nangong Yue didn't move until now, and at this time she made a look at Baihui, so, just as Liu Mama was about to hand over Geng Tie to Xiao Fang, Bai Hui suddenly appeared in front of her, and quickly took Geng Tie away. .
He actually robbed it? Everyone was stunned.
Nangong Yue took the Geng Tie from Baihui, smiled slightly, and said softly: "Mother, this Geng Tie is really important, in order to avoid losing it, let my daughter-in-law take care of it temporarily."
"Mr. Nangong!" Mrs. Fang suddenly stood up, gritted her teeth and looked at Nangong Yue, "How dare you!"
"Since the mother still has guests, the daughter-in-law will leave first."
Nangong Yue was blessed and was about to leave. Seeing this, Xiao Fang's anger almost rose to the top of her head, and she blurted out: "Come on! Stop her!"
Immediately, several women rushed over, hesitantly blocking the door.
Baihui took a step forward and stopped in front of Nangong Yue.
The two sides stared at each other covetously, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense, and swords were on the verge of breaking out.
At this moment, a servant girl hurriedly came forward and said: "Princess, the prince is here..."
Before she finished speaking, Xiao Yi had strode over. He only glanced coldly at the women who were blocking the door, and those women subconsciously took a few steps back, very panicked.
Stepping into the main hall, Xiao Yi greeted Xiao Fang as if nothing had happened, then frowned, looked at Nangong Yue with a distressed expression, and said, "Ah Yue, why do you look so bad? Who made you angry? Is it?... You, because you have such a good temper, even if others are rude to you, you are too embarrassed to care about others. Hey, your temper is the worst. "
These words are clearly confusing right and wrong! Mrs. Fang San was depressed for a while, when did they provoke Nangong Yue, it was clearly Nangong Yue who came here by herself! She dared to grab Geng Tie.
As soon as Fang Shilei saw Xiao Yi, he shrank subconsciously, really wishing to hide behind Mrs. Fang San.
As soon as Xiao Yi came, Nangong Yue's heart, which was still somewhat uneasy, settled in an instant, and her heart was warm and sweet. With A Yi here, she has both a sword and a shield, and she just needs to be her weak little wife obediently.
Mrs. Fang San couldn't help but said in a strange voice: "Ah Yi, how dare we provoke your concubine? It is your concubine who is angry with your mother! Although the concubine is the honor of the princess, even if it is Princess, you should be more humble to your mother-in-law!"
Xiao Yi's brows were tightly furrowed, and he said solemnly: "Third aunt, how can you turn right and wrong into black and white! How could my concubine be mad at my mother?! Aunt, you probably don't know that when the concubine is in her boudoir, So I got a plaque from the emperor, boasting that the concubine is "Huizhi Lanxin", that plaque is now in Bixiao Hall, if my aunt doesn't believe it, I will order someone to get it..."
Mrs. Fang Third took a quick look at Mrs. Fang, saw Mrs. Fang nodding slightly to her, and said with a dry smile: "No need, Ayi. Naturally, Auntie believes you."
Xiao Yi sighed, and said again: "Third Aunt, it's not that your nephew is talking about you, you need to be cautious in your words and deeds in the future. Just like just now, my mother didn't speak, but Third Aunt seemed to be speaking clearly. Could it be that Third Aunt is Is the worm in my mother's belly okay?" He looked at Xiao Fang and said, "Mother, Third Aunt has no intentions, so don't blame her!"
As he said that, he shook his head with disappointment on his face, as if he was saying, Third Aunt, why did you become so confused when you got old, and you lost the appearance of an elder!
Xiao Yi's few words hurt Mrs. Fang on the one hand, and blocked Xiao Fang's mouth on the other hand.
Nangong Yue stood aside with low eyebrows, but a deep smile flashed in her eyes. A Yi is still A Yi, and he is so angry that he does not pay for his life.
Mrs. Fang San was furious, and snorted coldly: "A Yi, is that how you talk to your aunt?"
However, Xiao Yi looked at Mrs. Fang San innocently: "Third Aunt, what did I say to you?"
Mrs. Fang San's face was livid, she can't hurt herself again!
Xiao Yi deliberately looked at Fang Shilei, and said, "Cousin Lei, did I disrespect my third aunt just now?"
Fang Shilei was so frightened that his heart skipped a beat, he hurriedly said: "How could that be?! Cousin Yi respects my mother very much..."
Mrs. Fang San was not mad at Xiao Yi, but she was so angry at her son's words that she almost didn't catch up. She said in her heart: What a crime! She saw this son lying in front of her. bone!
Mrs. Fang San's face turned blue and purple, and her whole body was shaking like chaff.
But Fang Shilei was eager to leave here as soon as possible, bowed and said: "Auntie, since Cousin Yi has something to do with you, then mother and I will not bother you."
As he said that, he almost couldn't wait to pull Mrs. Fang to leave, but Xiao Yi stopped him: "Cousin, you seem to have forgotten something?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Fang Shilei responded repeatedly, and hurriedly took back his Geng Tie from Xiao Fang's desk, feeling extremely conflicted in his heart. If he had known that Xiao Yi did not agree to this marriage, he would definitely not have dared to come to propose marriage, but the problem is, if this marriage fails, his mother will not accept Xiu'er and Xiao Lian, so what should he do when he returns this time? How about Facing Xiuer?!
