Linglong

Chapter 134

The wife of the Marquis of Heqing's mansion is very vigorous, because of Song Changqing's death, she was seriously ill, and after taking care of her with medication, she gradually recovered.

Mrs. Su felt very lonely in the mansion. Seeing Mrs. Tai getting better day by day, she felt as if she had an allied army. She served Mrs. Tai's bed every day, hoping that she would recover soon.

The current Heqinghou Mansion is different from before. Brothers Song Changqing and Song Changchun have grown up and become consuls day by day, especially Song Changqing. After marrying a wife and having children, he is much calmer and more capable. He has already served as a commander in the Beijing camp, and he seems to be the best among the noble children.As for Mrs. Su's adoptive Song Changlin, everything is good, except that he is a little old-fashioned like his biological mother Yan Yunqing. He must wait for Yu Jingxi to marry her after the expiration of her filial piety, making Mrs. Su's wish to marry a daughter-in-law and have a grandson as soon as possible. He Qinghou and Mrs. Su felt a little embarrassed every time they thought about what the Heqinghou Mansion would be like when it was handed over to him.

Honor is honor, and it depends on military merits and the emperor's favor and respect, not on dropping book bags.

Marquis He Qing felt a little regretful, and sighed secretly to Madam Su, "Madam, if I knew this was the case, I might as well have adopted Changchun back then."

Song Changchun has practiced riding and archery since he was a child, and his skills are very good. A few years ago, he entered the Habayashi Guard, and now he has a hundred households. Song Changlin is still studying in the Imperial College.Comparing these two nephews, Marquis Heqing still likes Song Changchun more, and he thinks that the sons of the Marquis should be like this.

Mrs. Su had a headache when she mentioned the matter of adoption, so she managed to pull herself together to comfort He Qinghou, "Your Majesty is also filial, and he made this decision after listening to Mrs. Tai's orders."

Marquis Heqing smiled wryly.

Back then, it was because Mrs. Tai had this idea, thinking that he wanted to adopt anyway, and the three sons of his younger brother were all sons of the Song family, and the adoption was the same, so he readily agreed-Song Yong has always been docile and obedient, Qiao Sirou He was very virtuous, He Qinghou didn't pay attention to them at all, and he didn't expect that Qiao Sirou would suddenly explode and bring Song Changqing and Song Changchun back to her mother's house.

What happened after that was beyond his expectation.

The matter has developed to this day, and it has completely exceeded He Qinghou's control.Looking back on the past, it's not that he doesn't regret it, but the matter has come to this point, no matter how much he regrets, what can he do?There is no such thing as regret medicine in the world.

He Qinghou knew that it was useless to think too much, so after complaining to Mrs. Su once, he didn't mention it anymore.He didn't mention this matter anymore, but Mrs. Su recalled the past over and over again, and it was hard to get rid of it.

She and Qiao Sirou had already turned against each other, and they were in conflict, but she had not had any good or happy events in these years, but Qiao Sirou married the daughter of Chongshanhou's mansion for his eldest son, and soon after, he embraced a white and fat big boy The grandson paved the way for the second son and let him serve as a guard, with a bright future ahead.Not only that, but her niece was also registered as Princess Zhou and became the daughter-in-law of the royal family-everything good happened for her.

Mrs. Su's face turned yellow with anger when she thought about this, she couldn't get out of her breath, an unknown fire was burning in her internal organs, and she was in excruciating pain.

Recently, Qiao Sirou finally encountered a troublesome matter, and Mrs. Su became happy.

What bothered Qiao Sirou was that Jiang asked someone to propose marriage to Qiao's family, to marry Qiao Zhijun for her only son Chang Na.

In fact, Chang Na is the only son of the founding father and the Jiang family. In the future, the founding father's mansion will belong to him. If Qiao Zhijun marries him, he will be the wife of the founding father in the future. In the eyes of those who are utilitarian, this is a good thing. .But Qiao Siqi didn't value these things when choosing a son-in-law for his daughter. He cared more about his son-in-law's character, virtue, and integrity. How could he value someone like Chang Ne? ——Even if Chang Na has "reformed" in the past few years, he is a person with stains after all, and what he did in the past cannot be erased.

Zheng's thoughts were even more detailed, and she also considered many issues that Qiao Siqi hadn't considered: Mrs. Jiang only had such a son, and she valued it too much. In the future, she must have strict requirements on her daughter-in-law. Mother-in-law, that's enough for Qiao Zhijun to have a headache.

Qiao Sirou and Qiao Siqi are close siblings, so the troubles of her elder brother and sister-in-law are naturally her troubles.

Mrs. Jiang is very sure about this marriage, and has already mentioned it to several relatives with great satisfaction.Su's natal family and Jiang's natal family's Ruixing Hou Mansion are relatives in a turning point, and this matter has also reached Su's ears.At first Su knew about this matter and was very angry, "After marrying Chang Na, she will be the wife of the founding father of the country, and even the daughter of the Qiao family, she is also worthy!" Frowning and looking unhappy, she knew that Qiao Sirou was worrying about her niece, so she gloated.

"Brothers and sisters, congratulations." She smiled to Qiao Siju, "The Qiao family is going to be a duke and wife. Congratulations, congratulations!"

Qiao Sirou was so angry that his eyes were about to burst into flames, and he said sharply: "Sister-in-law, please be careful! My niece is an innocent girl, and she hasn't married yet. Where did you mention the words of the Duke's wife? My sister-in-law is coming to Mrs. Hou, Don't you know that the reputation of the girl's family is important, if the marriage has not been settled, you should not mention it casually?"

Mrs. Su also knew that she was impolite. The man's family only proposed marriage, but the woman's family didn't agree. This unsettled marriage was so clearly stated. If the marriage fails in the future, where will the woman's face be put?But she held back her breath for a long time, and today she was finally able to hit Qiao Sirou. She would not let go of this great opportunity lightly, and said with a dry smile, "Why should my younger siblings do this? It is very lucky for my niece to marry her."

Qiao Sirou laughed back angrily, and said sarcastically: "What's the use of me telling my sister-in-law these obvious truths? My sister-in-law has never had any biological children in her life. You can't understand the heart of being a mother. Sister-in-law, if you have ever given birth However, if you have your own daughter, you will never say such a thing!"

Madam Su's biggest pain point is that she has no children. When Qiao Sirou said this, she couldn't hold her breath, and almost passed it by her back!
She pointed at Qiao Sirou, her chest heaved and she panted heavily, "You, you, you disrespect sister-in-law!"

Qiao Sirou was also irritated by her just now, seeing her like this now, she felt very happy, stretched out her hand with a smile, and pressed down the palm that Mrs. Su pointed at, "Oh, how dare I disrespect sister-in-law, she is Mrs. Hou Well, how amazing! I dare not disrespect you even if I have the heart and courage of a leopard. Sister-in-law, I am just telling the truth. You have never given birth, and you don’t understand the mind of a mother. Ah, I can bear it if I suffer and suffer, but if someone wants to bully my child, I really can't bear it!" Yan Ran smiled and added happily: "It's the same for aunts. Although nephews and nieces It's not as good as your own child, but it's not much worse, if someone wants to slander your niece and pour dirty water on her, then he really has the heart to kill!"

After Qiao Sirou uttered this long series of words eloquently, Mrs. Su stared at her blankly for a while, then fell to the ground.

—she fainted from anger.

"Bah, you deserve it!" Qiao Sirou spat angrily.

Even if you haven't given birth to a child, you shouldn't be so vicious!In the past you slandered Xiao Linglong, and now you slander Ah Jun, it's because I, Qiao Sirou, don't like you, and the children have never offended you, so why be so relentless! ——The reputation of a girl's family is important, don't you understand, don't you know?When you're spreading rumors, when you're talking nonsense, do you ever wonder what it means to a teenage girl's family?You... you... people like you deserve to have no children!You are wicked.

Qiao Sirou first ordered the maid to carry Madam Su back to her room, and asked the doctor to come and see her, and then went to Madam Tai to cry.

Mrs. Tai just recovered from her illness, but she was dizzy by Qiao Sirou's crying and complaining, "Your sister-in-law is not such a person, maybe there is some misunderstanding, maybe it is." She doesn't dare to offend any of her daughter-in-laws, think about it After a while, he timidly defended Mrs. Su.

Qiao Sirou sneered repeatedly in her heart.

Sure enough, don't expect Mrs. Tai to be fair, she will always be on good terms with each other, no matter what happens, she just wants to make big things small and small things small.

Qiao Sirou ordered someone to watch at the door, and when Song Yong arrived home, he invited him to Mrs. Tai, and Qiao Sirou cried to Song Yong again, "... She said that about Linglong before, and now she says that about Ah Jun. Do you want to force me to death? If the second master doesn't decide for me, simply give me a divorce letter, and divorce me back to Qiao's house, so as not to be so useless in your Song family!" Song Yong was very angry and shouted: "Sister-in-law is out of her mind. The man's family just proposed a marriage, and the woman's family has not spoken yet. She started arguing everywhere, lest the world will not be chaotic! If the marriage fails in the future, can Ah Jun still go out to meet people?" Repeatedly disobeyed Mrs. Tai and asked Mrs. Tai to give him justice.

Mrs. Tai, one head and two big ones, was originally sitting on the couch, but she couldn't handle it later, so she just lay down and moaned, pretending to be sick.

Seeing Mrs. Tai like this, Song Yong stopped arguing with Mrs. Tai and rushed out like a gust of wind.

He went to block his elder brother He Qinghou.

Marquis Heqing used to go home from the corner gate on the west side, this day when he got off his horse in front of the gate, he saw his younger brother Song Yong rushing out with a flushed face, glaring at him fiercely.

"What's the matter?" He Qinghou couldn't help frowning.

"Come with me!" Song Yong still retained a sliver of reason, and did not quarrel with him at the door, and Xiong Jiao dragged him home with high spirits.

He Qinghou was pulled hard by this reckless younger brother, struggling but unable to break free, so he had no choice but to follow him.

Song Yong pulled Heqinghou to a pavilion nearby, drove all the servants away, and quarreled with Heqinghou.

"Brother, you and sister-in-law think that life is too quiet, and you insist on making trouble, right?" Song Yong was furious, "I have three sons, you can adopt whichever you want, I said a word Isn't it all dependent on the eldest brother and sister-in-law! Originally, I hoped that the two brothers would live in harmony together, but looking at it now, it is clearly my wishful thinking! The eldest brother and sister-in-law have repeatedly provoked me!"

Song Yong has never been a shrewd person, but when he really loses his temper, He Qinghou realizes how difficult he is to deal with.

"Your sister-in-law didn't mean that..." He Qinghou wanted to explain for Mrs. Su.

"That's not what it means, what does that mean? She's such an old man, she doesn't even understand the world, she was the one who killed Sister Qing!" Song Yong's eyes were red, and he shouted at the top of his voice.

He hated Song Changqing for not living up to expectations, but Song Changqing's death, he was not without heartache.

Thinking about Song Changqing's death, he hated Mrs. Su even more: My daughter was adopted by you, and if you didn't teach her well, she finally led to a dead end!

Marquis Heqing didn't respond at first, but when he mentioned Song Changqing, he couldn't stand it anymore, and he broke out in cold sweat, "Second brother, stop making trouble, stop making trouble."

Song Yong had a stubborn temper, chased after him and pulled He Qinghou to prevent him from leaving.He Qinghou was forced to have no choice but to agree, "Second brother, I'll go back and talk about your sister-in-law, and I must talk about her." Song Yongxiu stared at him for a long time before letting him go.

Marquis Heqing went back listlessly, only to see Mrs. Su half lying on the bed with a yellow face, she looked very pitiful, the words of reproach had already reached her lips, and she swallowed them back.

He sat down on the edge of the bed and let out a long sigh.

Mrs. Su woke up not long ago, and she didn't know what was going on outside. She choked up and said, "...I was contradicted by my sister-in-law so much, how will I stand in this family in the future? Lord Hou wants to make the decision for me." He Qinghou snorted He said, "What are you doing? The second brother just yelled at me for a long time, and I managed to get away!" Thinking of Song Yong's messy and difficult appearance, he was very troubled.

Mrs. Su trembled with anger, "This Joe, the villain actually sued first!"

Knowing that Qiao Sirou made a fuss ahead of her, it was very difficult for him to get it back, and he was very annoyed.

He Qinghou was much more sensible than her, he frowned and said, "Why are you arguing about things that haven't been settled? I'm so old, I can't hold my breath." There was a sense of blame in his words.

Mrs. Su felt relieved after being reprimanded, with a slight smile on her face, "According to me, isn't it a blessing from the previous life for a girl from the Qiao family to marry into the Founding Duke's mansion? The family is actually unwilling, and the younger siblings are like her elder brother and sister-in-law, frowning for this marriage. You said, Mr. Hou, Mrs. Jiang has released all the words. If the Qiao family refuses to agree, it will not be like slapping the Queen in the face and making the Queen Is it shameless? Even if the Qiao family is unwilling, they can only hold back their breath and agree to this marriage. Lord Hou, let's just wait and drink the wedding bar. Hmph, I saw that at that time, how could my younger siblings have the face to be ashamed of me? Shout!"

"For the sake of caution, we should do this." He Qinghou agreed with Mrs. Su's statement.

If he was Qiao Siqi, even though he was reluctant to part with his daughter, he would still nod his head - even if he married his daughter unsatisfactorily, it was better than offending the queen.Furthermore, Chang Na is the only son of the founding father and his wife, and marrying him is really a good marriage.

Mrs. Su laughed even more freely, "Master Hou said so." Thinking of Qiao Sirou's embarrassment in the future, she felt very comfortable.

The next day, Qiao Sirou and Xu Chuanjie's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were invited into the palace by Princess Zhou. Mrs. Su cheered up, "Princess Zhou is newly married, so what's the matter with letting the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the second room into the palace at this time? , her foothold in the palace is not stable at all, this is to make her natal relatives put on face for her, and she must not offend the queen, right? It must be that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law returned to Qiao's house to be lobbyists, yes, it must be like this!" The more I thought about it, The happier I am, I don't recuperate in the room anymore. I get up, wash and dress up, and go to Mrs. Tai to talk and laugh with me.

"Mother, when my younger brother and sister return from the palace, there will be great news for you!" Mrs. Su said enthusiastically.

What Mrs. Tai would like to see most is the harmony of her family. After hearing Mrs. Su's words, her eyes became a line, "It's a good feeling, that's great!"

Mrs. Su seemed to see Qiao Sirou appearing in front of her with a dark face in front of her eyes. She found it very interesting and couldn't help laughing out loud.

Qiao Sirou, Xu Chuanjie, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law did not return until Shen Shi, and Song Changchun, who was supposed to be on duty in the palace, personally sent them back.

The joy on Qiao Sirou's face could not be concealed at all, her face was radiant and full of spring breeze, but Song Changchun's face was reddish, and he hurried away as if to run away after seeing Madam Tai and Madam Su. I don't know what I'm busy with, but after meeting my grandmother, I didn't even say a few words before she disappeared!"

Mrs. Su looked at Qiao Sirou, and then looked at Xu Chuanjie who was calm but also beaming with joy, she was very puzzled: Judging by their appearance, could it be that there is a happy event in the palace?This is not right, it shouldn't be.

Mrs. Su wanted to trap Qiao Sirou, but unfortunately Qiao Sirou was very tight-lipped and refused to reveal anything.

"What the hell?" Madam Su was dissatisfied and panicked at the same time. She began to vaguely feel that maybe some things were different from what she had imagined.

After Qiao Sirou and Xu Chuanjie left, Mrs. Su was in a trance.

This day Song Yong was called by Qiao Sirou after he came home, he closed the door and did not know what kind of good things he discussed with him, Song Yong's ecstatic laughter came from the room.

Madam Su panicked even more.

She guessed back and forth with He Qinghou, but she didn't guess what kind of happy event Song Yong and Qiao Sirou had, so she was very puzzled.

It wasn't until Song Yong and Qiao Sirou decided to hire the youngest daughter of Qiao's family as his second son, Song Changchun, that Heqinghou and his wife suddenly realized that, just like Song Changqing's marriage, Song Yong and Qiao Sirou once again made an arrangement for Song Changchun without the consent of his elder brother and sister-in-law. married!
"Second brother, you are not paying attention to elder brother." He Qinghou called Song Yong over and reprimanded him, "Can't I, as an uncle, intervene in my nephew's marriage? When my elder nephew made the marriage, you were there." In Shuntian Mansion, the eldest brother is in Jinling, so it’s okay, but now you are repeating the old trick, why is that? You can’t forget the principle that elder brothers are like fathers!”

Mrs. Su was also very angry, "Should we as uncles and aunts know nothing about our nephew's marriage? Master Hou and I were completely kept in the dark about the marriage in Changchun, it's shameless!"

Song Yong looked at them proudly, "It's no wonder that the younger brother didn't discuss it with the elder brother and sister-in-law. It's because the matchmaker has too much background, and it's so big!"

He Qinghou frowned, "Even if a prince or princess is a matchmaker, you can't refuse to agree, and you should discuss it with your eldest brother and sister-in-law first!" Mrs. Su agreed, "Yes, no matter how powerful the matchmaker is, you It shouldn't be like this!"

Song Yong raised his head to the sky, loudly, "Brother, sister-in-law, you should ask the matchmaker's identity first, and then make a conclusion!"

He Qinghou asked with restraint: "Second brother, do you dare to ask who the matchmaker is?"

Madam Su poked her neck, "No matter who he is, he can't surpass the principles of nature and human relations!"

Song Yong laughed twice, looked at them with pity, and said slowly: "Dare to teach the eldest brother and sister-in-law to know that the matchmaker is—" He dragged out his voice, arched his hands, and looked solemn, "It is— — Your Majesty and Queen!"

"What?" Marquis He Qing and Madam Su exclaimed in unison.

Song Yong met their unbelievable gazes, and nodded affirmatively and solemnly.

Marquis He Qing and Mrs. Su stood there stupefied for a moment, then fell to the ground with a "plop".
