Linglong

Chapter 84

Mrs. Su thought about it carefully, and it really made sense, she said with a smile: "The people who spread the rumors are not malicious, but they just don't want the little girl from the Yu family to fall into the Zhou Palace, and it's for her own good." The words came out of her mouth Then I felt that it seemed inappropriate, so I added, "It's not that the Prince Zhou's mansion is not good, it's just that although the Yu family has an ordinary family background, the young girl of the Yu family looks really spoiled. After all, it hurts, doesn't it?"

"Who says it's not?" Song Changqing smiled sweetly.

Mrs. Su turned her mind, frowned and said, "Even if the Yu family is really willing to marry the girl, who would dare to take it? This will offend His Highness King Zhou." Song Changqing pursed his lips and smiled. What kind of family, how can the news be well-informed? There are a lot of people who don't know the details, and it is not difficult for the Yu family to let their daughter out." Mrs. Su thought for a while pretending to be thoughtful, and said with a smile: " There is something interesting about this matter. You don’t want to marry a prince, you don’t want to be rich and honored, and you insist on betrothing to an ordinary family.”

Mrs. Su felt very relieved, "I hope so. One is that Qiao's family and the Prince of Zhou's mansion can't get close to relatives, and the other is that the Yu family must have offended the Prince of Zhou's mansion, and even the second wife will not benefit. Maybe the King of Zhou will Take your anger out on the Qiao family."

Now that she is competing with Qiao Sirou, she doesn't care about anything else, but she is happy to see anything that can hurt Qiao Sirou.Anyway, she has no biological children, the picture is nothing more than that when she was alive, she was majestic and uncompromising in the Heqinghou Mansion. After death, the title still falls in the big house. , even if it's not your own, so what's the matter.

Seeing that Mrs. Su's expression became happy, as if a big stone in her heart had just been let go, Song Changqing's eyes flashed with contempt and impatience, she changed the subject, and sighed: "However, it is also possible that these rumors may backfire and help Yu Linglong It is unknown if Shun Shundang became the Princess of Zhou."

Mrs. Su was furious, and her face darkened, "Sister Qing, don't talk nonsense! What kind of family is the Yu family, and his girl is worthy of being Princess Zhou!" Song Changqing seemed to have expected her anger, and explained with a smile on his face Said: "Auntie, have you heard? Qin Wangfei's father has been personally appointed by His Majesty as the commander of the Tongzhou Guard, and enjoys a salary of the third rank, and the treatment is very good. You also know that Qin Wangfei's father, Mr. Lu, is just a frail scholar. How can he be the commander of the Tongzhou Guard? It's just a false name, for the sake of Princess Qin's face. Auntie, King Qin and King Zhou are both His Majesty's beloved sons. How can Princess Qin see Princess Zhou like this? cannot?"

The father-in-law of the second prince Qin Wang was the brother of Mrs. Chu Guogong, a poor scholar, but his daughter became Qin Wangfei, so he became a commander appointed by the emperor himself, a third-rank official.

Mrs. Su was very surprised, "If that's the case, then the Yu family will burn incense..."

Song Changqing said in a gentle manner: "Not only that, my mother is even more proud of her spring breeze."

Mrs. Su thought that Uncle Yu would also become a third-rank official, Linglong would become Princess Zhou, and Qiao Sirou would naturally be more confident with such a relative, and dared to confront her, Mrs. He Qinghou, she couldn't help being angry and wronged Sad, he sneered and said: "That's right, the eldest daughter-in-law is Xu Dudu's beloved daughter, and the niece has become the princess of Zhou again, can she not be proud?"

Song Changqing was obedient, seeing her furious look, he lowered his head knowingly, not daring to answer.

Mrs. Su was angry for a while, before she frowned and asked, "What do you mean by saying that this rumor might help Yu Linglong become the princess of Zhou?" Song Changqing smiled, "If the rumor is true, but But Er Er, if there is no news about the storm in the city, nor does it reach the ears of Yu's family, what's the use? If it is delayed until His Royal Highness Zhou comes back, one will probably order the withdrawal of those who spread the rumors, and the other will be more against Yu. Linglong feels pity, maybe she will..." She looked at Mrs. Su timidly, and didn't say any more.

Although she didn't go on, how could Mrs. Su not think of it?His face was sallow.

Seeing that she was secretly angry, Song Changqing held back his anger, lowered his head and thought for a while, and didn't dare to continue to burn oil on the fire.After sitting for a while, he said with a smile: "Auntie is having a good time, I'll come back tomorrow to say hello." Mrs. Su nodded expressionlessly, Song Changqing saluted, and walked out lightly.

After Song Changqing left, her words kept lingering in Mrs. Su's ears, "The wind and rain in the city was not passed on, nor did it reach the ears of the Yu family..."

"No way!" Mrs. Su thought twice, beat the bed hard, and said ruthlessly: "You must not let the little girl of the Yu family get her way! Otherwise, the second room will bully me even more. Is it coming? Is it restrained?"

Song Changqing was about to get married, and the Heqinghou Mansion had a lot to prepare for, but Mrs. Su fell ill at this moment and lay down, unable to manage affairs.Qiao Sirou saw it in her eyes, how could she be in a hurry?So I went to ask Mrs. Tai for instructions, "This is the first time that our family has a wedding, so we can't make people laugh at it, mother, don't you think so? Sister-in-law is sick and can't manage, mother...?" Mrs. Tai thought about it Thinking about it, he said with a smile: "Why don't you work hard for a few days first?" Qiao Sirou blessed, "Mother, I am obliged to do so." Mrs. Tai was overjoyed, "Then it will be hard work for you." Qiao Sirou looked calm, "This is Da Lang married a wife, how can I, as a mother, dare to say it’s hard work? Mother, please give me the key to the warehouse and the pair of cards, so that I can take care of it temporarily.” Mrs. Tai felt that Qiao Sirou’s words made sense, and called the maid over , ordered her to ask Mrs. Su for the key to the warehouse and the pair of cards.

Mrs. Su has been the housekeeper for a long time, and when she heard that Mrs. Tai asked for the key and the matching cards, and wanted Qiao Sirou to be the housekeeper temporarily, she was so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven.Holding back her breath and ordering someone to hand over the key and the pair of cards, she fell on the bed and almost didn't come up in one breath.

Mrs. Su ordered the maid to call all her companions.

As night fell and the lights came on, Mrs. Su and her companions were discussing something secretly in the room. Mrs. Su's figure was reflected on the snow-white window paper, revealing a bit of mystery.

Xu Chuanjie also heard the rumors in the city, thought twice, and wrote a letter to Linglong, reminding her to be careful.

Linglong directly asked Xu's courier to bring back the letter, "Sister Xu, don't worry, I know it well."

Although they didn't meet each other, Xu Chuanjie looked at Linglong's flying handwriting, and there seemed to be Linglong's cute and clever face in front of him, and he couldn't help smiling.Little sister, your current situation... If you go right, there will be a lot of flowers in the future; if you go wrong, you may be lost forever.I can still be so calm now, I admire it.

"Maybe I will really call you cousin in the future." Xu Chuanjie carefully put away Linglong's reply, thinking with some melancholy.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was the happy day when Song Changqing married his wife and Xu Chuanjie left the court.

Linglong, who has been reclusive since the draft turmoil, came to have a wedding reception with Qiao.

The female guests of Heqinghou Mansion Merchants Bank were in the big flower hall of the inner house. Mrs. Qiao was arranged to sit with Mrs. Zheng and others, while Linglong was invited to the right side of the hall with Qiao Zhijun, with girls of the same age.

With her cousin Qiao Zhijun by her side, Mrs. Qiao felt more at ease.

Song Changqing and Song Changqin are the hosts, so they naturally help to entertain the guests.These two sisters are good enough for the scene. They shuttled between the tables surrounded by young girls.

Apart from Qiao Zhijun, there were two sisters Hu Shaofen and Hu Shaolian from the Zhenyuan Hou Mansion, Zu Jiying who lived in the Zhenyuan Hou Mansion, and a few people Linglong didn't know. A girl in clothes, with a round face, loves to smile, and looks gentle.She smiled good-naturedly, "I haven't met you before, may I ask if you are..." Linglong smiled politely, "Must your surname be Yu, I am the third in the family."

"So it's Miss Yu San." The girl in yellow opened her eyes wide in surprise.

Qiao Zhijun raised his eyebrows.how?Is Miss Yu San so scary?Who are you showing this look to?

"Miss Yu San!" An exclamation came from the neighboring table, "Isn't she just going to enter the Zhou Palace to be... a concubine?"

The voice was very high and shrill at first, and many people were attracted to it involuntarily.After she spoke, her voice gradually lowered, but at this moment, the surroundings were silent, and she could still hear clearly.

Qiao Zhijun's face turned red and then pale, and he looked over viciously, "Who is hurting people with nonsense? Is there any shame?"

She is usually considered gentle, but how can my cousin stand up to being insulted like this.

A girl about twelve or thirteen years old at the next table stood up abruptly, and said loudly, "Who is shameless? A woman who knows her status is unworthy and yet deliberately seeks to become a dragon or a phoenix is ​​called shameless!"

She was wearing a brocade beige with a red bottom, like a flame, and her momentum was overwhelming.

Qiao Zhijun's face turned as red as a shrimp, and he stretched out his arm and pointed at the girl in red, "You, you are talking nonsense! You are talking nonsense!" He was so angry that his hands trembled and he spoke incoherently.

Obviously, the young girl in red had the upper hand.

The two masters, Song Changqing and Song Changqin, both looked terrified, staring at the girl in red with disbelief.

The girl in red was proud, and her voice became louder, "Am I wrong? As a girl, she should be chaste and keep her own, instead of attracting bees and butterflies!"

Mrs. Qiao and Mrs. Zheng walked this way with panicked faces, and the guests who were far away couldn't help but stand up and watch this side.

Linglong frowned.This is Song Changqing's wedding banquet. The host didn't come forward to dissuade such a provocation at the wedding banquet. Is this a joke on purpose?It seems that my aunt and cousin don't have many friends and enemies in Heqinghou Mansion.Hmph, today is my cousin and sister Xu's big day, no matter who wants to ruin the wedding, I will not let you do it!It is even more impossible to slander me!

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Linglong quietly stood up.

She was wearing a pea-green brocade brocade shirt with a few light purple flowers embroidered on the corners, elegant and pleasant, reflecting her face as bright as fine jade, which made people's eyes shine.

"No wonder." Many people sighed secretly, "You are so eye-catching at such a young age, and you will become stunning when you grow up. No wonder, no wonder."

Linglong calmly smiled at Qiao Shi and Zheng Shi, signaling them not to panic.

Zheng's eyes were sore, "Little sister, this girl is really different from her. She is calm and calm, and men are not as good as her. It's like a mountain collapses before her, and her color doesn't change." Qiao's face turned pale at first. Linglong smiled at her, but her heart was relieved, "Long'er is not scared." She was just worried about Linglong, and she didn't pay attention to the worldly eyes. Although the situation in front of her was not optimistic, there was a faint smile flowing in her beautiful eyes , shimmering and shining.

The girl in red just now saw that Qiao Zhijun was furious, but Linglong's face didn't change at all, and the master was not hurt, so how could she stop working hard?

"Miss Yu San, are you waiting to be taken into the palace?" She looked at Linglong presumptuously, and said in a provocative tone: "There are rumors raging in the city, haven't you heard of them?"

Linglong stared at her, and said slowly and clearly word by word: "The Yu family's tutoring is not to listen to or speak of indecent words, so-called rumors, I will never listen to them, and I will never tell them. "

Zheng's expression was gratified.

Qiao Zhijun also gradually calmed down at this time, looked at Linglong intently, and was excited, "Little cousin is very good at fighting, so I don't need to help her!"

The girl in red didn't expect Linglong to be so sharp, and blushed, "If you really have a tutor, you should know your shame..."

Linglong gave a "chi" smile, with a contemptuous expression, "Does your family's tutor let you follow everyone else's words, accuse girls you don't know after hearing rumors?"

Linglong could have been more aggressive, but this is the happy day of Song Changqing's marriage. Linglong's intention is to calm down the situation first. As for the arrogant girl in red in front of her, she might as well settle accounts with her.

"I don't want to accuse people indiscriminately." The girl in red said angrily: "Did His Royal Highness Zhou visit you at Yu's house in person? You are a boudoir girl, how did you know His Royal Highness Zhou? Training, bah, who would believe it?"

"That's right." There were quite a few people around who attached to her.

After King Zhou arrived in the city, it was difficult for the officials to see him, but he went to see you at Yu's house!No one would believe you if you were a nice girl, right?

Zheng Shi and Qiao Zhijun became entangled.

Linglong's face was cold, as if frost and snow had condensed, and she asked in the eyes of the girl in red: "When the late emperor was in power, my great-grandfather was enlisted to go to Beijing and had an audience with the late emperor in Huagai Palace. Do you know what he said to the late emperor?"

"How would I know." The girl in red was stunned.

Not only the girl in red, most of the onlookers didn't understand Linglong's intentions.

Linglong said coldly: "His Royal Highness King Zhou came to Yu's house, and my grandfather entertained him himself. Do you know what my grandfather said to King Zhou?"

"I, I don't know." The girl in red suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart and stammered.

Linglong's eyes turned cold, and she raised her voice to question, "You don't know what my grandfather and King Zhou said, so you dare to use your filthy heart to speculate at will? This girl, I don't know you, I don't know which family you belong to Girl, but I can be sure that Lingtang must have only taught you the secretive, dirty, and dirty things in this world, and never told you that there are corporals in the world who are courteous and virtuous, help the world, and care for the common people!"

"You, you, you..." The girl in red was speechless, in a panic.

"Ladies and wives, ladies, please sit down, please sit down." Two middle-aged women who looked like housekeepers came over and invited everyone to the table with smiling faces.

Linglong smiled like a flower, "Today is my cousin's happy day, everyone, please drink a few more glasses, don't be restrained."

Linglong stopped looking at the girl in red, and smiled at Yanyan, clearly telling everyone: I am the bridegroom's cousin, for the sake of the groom, I don't care about ignorant people, I only hope that the wedding banquet will be harmonious and happy.

"It's okay to be beautiful, but you are also scheming, eloquent, and graceful. You can't accept it." Hu Shaofen and Hu Shaolian looked at Linglong like this, and couldn't help sighing.

There are many people who think like them.

The person who wanted to make Linglong look ugly probably didn't expect that instead of ruining Linglong, it made Linglong's reputation.

Song Changqing stood in the corner, as if missing something.Originally, she thought that Yu Linglong was born better and had better luck than others, but who knows...

Song Changqing noticed a cold gaze cast on him, and couldn't help shivering.

Turning her head to look over, she saw Linglong was sizing her up with cold eyes.

Song Changqing tried his best to squeeze out a smiling face.

Linglong smiled softly and contemptuously.
