Chapter 56
Hearing this familiar voice, Bai He raised her face with tears in surprise, "Wei Lang..."
There were some leaves of grass hanging on Wei Qilang's robe, although he was a bit embarrassed, but he was undoubtedly the one, "He'er, why am I willing to let you die?"
Everyone around watched the development of the matter with eyes wide open.
The sudden appearance of Wei Qilang immediately reversed the situation.People who originally thought that this little lady was going to die are now excited.
Bai He smiled and wiped her tears, she was so excited that she could hardly speak.
"You... are really pregnant with my flesh and blood?" Wei Qilang asked in a low voice.
Bai He's fingers trembled, but there was no hesitation on her face, she nodded again and again, with joy and anxiety, "Will you blame me? I... I don't want to cause trouble for you, but... I'm sorry, I..."
"What are you talking about? I should have welcomed you in a long time ago, but Auntie is too restrictive. Now that you have my flesh and blood, how can I make you suffer outside?" Wei Qilang stepped forward to hold Bai He helped her up from the ground, and even bent over to flick off the dust on her plain white skirt.
The young and inexperienced ladies around became nympho and cheered accordingly.
Wei Qilang raised his head and threw out an indifferent smile.He has a good face, and he was once known as the Yulang of the Wei family. With such a smile, he can't turn all living beings upside down, and it can also make the little ladies watching the fun at the door happy.
"It's said that Qilang of the Wei family is romantic, but today, he seems to be a man in love." Some people also said so.
"Qilang went out over the wall and took the little lady in." The servant woman hurried back to report.
Mrs. Wei immediately fell on her back in anger, and couldn't hold back for a long time, "I...I have done so much for him, isn't it for his own good? He...he actually..."
Madam Wei rolled her eyes.
The servant girl hurried forward to pinch him, shaking and shouting.
Mrs. Wei recovered her anger, her angry face was dark, "He, he is deliberately angry with me! I don't think I can control him anymore!"
Wei Qilang comforted Bai He, and placed her in his courtyard.
Only then did he slowly walk down the corridor, bowing his head and flicking off the grass leaves on his body.
"Didn't Mr. Lang say that Xiaocui from Xinghualou is more charming than Lady Bai?" The servant followed behind him puzzled, "Why..."
Wei Qilang snorted, "If there is no such precedent, Auntie thinks she can hold me in her hands at any time. I just want to let her know that I have my own ideas! Besides, the house in Xinghuafang will not be vacated. Come out, where can I put Tweety?"
The boy opened his mouth in surprise.
Wei Qilang snorted coldly, "I've had enough of my mother's domination! You still want me to marry Xiao's daughter? The Xiao family has a hag like Princess Shouchang, what good things can there be? Bah... ..."
The boy was tongue-tied, he wanted to say, I heard that Princess Shouchang is very different now... Wei Qilang was terrible, so he finally shut up and swallowed his words.
Xiao Yuzhuo was in a good mood when he heard that Wei Qilang had really accepted Baihe into the house.Immediately wrote a letter and asked someone to secretly send it to Xiao Shishiniang.
Even the rumors that "General Jing is raising a foreign room in Xinghuafang" failed to affect her relaxed and happy mood.
"Send the fresh melons from Zhuangzi to Auntie, and send some to a few aunts, and secretly pass this letter to Shiwuniang, so don't let others know." Xiao Yuzhuo told Zhuxiang.
Zhu Xiang retreated in response.
Mei Xiang was slightly worried, "My lady, the rumors about the general..."
"Then what's the matter?" Xiao Yuzhuo didn't care, "Rumors spread at this time, you don't need to think about it, it must be Wei Qilang who suffered a loss, he was unwilling, he didn't dare to face the general's house, so he thought of it This kind of indiscriminate means. Don't pay attention to him!"
"Isn't the servant worried about this?" Mei Xiang shook her head repeatedly, "The princess can still hear the rumors, so wouldn't the gentleman know?"
Xiao Yuzhuo frowned upon hearing this, "He is well-informed, maybe he knew it earlier than me."
Mei Xiang nodded again and again, "Will Mr. Lang be angry?"
Could it be that she was to blame for getting him into trouble?Will he take the opportunity to find her again?
This is really a headache, Xiao Yuzhuo frowned.Although Jing Yannian didn't treat the princess very well, his reputation outside has always been very good.
Men these days are most concerned about their own prestige, rumors say that he has a concubine, being romantic is not such a bad reputation for a man.But as a military commander, if he spreads the reputation of being fearful...
Thinking of the horror of his handsome face when it darkened, Xiao Yuzhuo couldn't help shivering, and said with a forced smile, "No, it's nothing, it's just a misunderstanding anyway..."
She had already scolded Wei Qilang several times in her heart.
She was not the only one who scolded Wei Qilang.
Xiao Shiwuniang read the note she secretly handed over, and knew what happened at the door of Wei's house today.Xiao Shiwuniang hadn't spoken yet, but the maid had already scolded Wei Qilang a hundred times.
"We are going to be married to the Xiao family, and he brought this outer room into the mansion at this time, and he is still pregnant with the outer room," the servant girl gritted her teeth angrily, "Isn't this embarrassing the lady?"
Xiao Shiwuniang nodded slowly, "Where are you making trouble for me? It is clearly an opportunity to slap the Xiao family in the face."
The servant girl was taken aback, and asked slowly: "Then, madam won't marry her to the Wei family, right? They've slapped me like this..."
"Looking at Mrs. Wei's reaction, the Wei family should want to marry the Xiao family, but Wei Qilang himself doesn't want to." Xiao Shiwuniang sighed.
The servant girl frowned, "What is the use of Mrs. Guangwei's wishes? Whether the lady will live well in the future depends on Wei Qilang's attitude..."
Xiao Shiwuniang drooped her eyes, her complexion somber, "For the benefit of the Xiao family, it's enough to form a good relationship. Whether I'm doing well...sometimes, it's not that important."
The servant girl shook her head again and again, "Madam loves my lady the most."
Xiao Shiwuniang snorted, "Aniang loves me, but there are some things that I can't help her..."
Third Mrs. Xiao kept an eye on the Wei family, and she must have heard of such a farce in front of the Wei family.
She was immediately troubled.
Her precious daughter was going to marry into the Wei family, but Wei Qilang actually welcomed the outer room into the door so carelessly when the two families were talking about their marriage?
Don't take Xiao's daughter seriously at all!
But Wei Qilang's father is the prefect of Jingzhao Mansion. The prefect is not a high-ranking official, but in Jingzhao Mansion, he has real power.
If it was the status of the Xiao family in the past, she would have turned her back if she said she had turned her back on her. Now the Xiao family is in danger...
"Alas..." the third lady sighed, "I have wronged Yan'er."
"Madam, Madam is not well..." The servant girl hurried in from outside the courtyard and knelt outside the curtain.
The third lady was thinking about her daughter's marriage, when she said "it's not good", she trembled in fright, and said sharply with an unfriendly expression: "Which courtyard maid is so unruly?"
The servant girl outside the door curtain said: "My servant, my servant is Yunxiang who is beside Shiwuniang."
Is it really related to Shiwu Niang?
The third lady's heart fluttered, and she immediately raised her hand, "Come in and answer, what's wrong?"
The servant girl's face was flushed, and her forehead was sweaty, she clearly ran all the way, "The lady said, she...she wants to go on a hunger strike, if the madam insists on marrying her to the Wei family, she...she will starve herself to death. "
After the little maid finished speaking, she quickly lowered her head, her eyes rolling around.
The third lady slapped the little girl fiercely, "It's outrageous!"
"Don't be angry, Ma'am. After all, Shiwuniang is young. She must have heard about Wei Qilang. Shiwuniang is a daughter of the Xiao family. She has never been wronged since she was a child, and she is the top sister among the sisters. Wei Qilang is so Don't be stingy, how can she bear it?" The old servant hurriedly followed the third lady's back, slowly persuading.
When the third lady heard this, a basin of cold water poured down her head.
She was much annoyed, and her voice was filled with grievance and distress, "Yeah, Yan'er has been well-behaved since she was a child, and even when compared with the princess, she never loses her momentum..."
The maid who was kneeling on the ground breathed a sigh of relief.
The third lady shook her head suddenly, "It's just that the princess's life is good, her life... oh!"
The servant girl was anxious and raised her head suddenly, "My lady buried her head in her head and cried for several times..."
"If she doesn't eat, then don't eat. It doesn't matter if she is hungry for a few days. When she wakes up from hunger, ask her to come see me again!" The third lady said with a straight face and a hard heart.
Xiao Shiliuniang pretended to be obedient and coaxed the eldest lady to be happy. As soon as she was released from the Xiulou, she heard about Shiwuniang.
With a proud face, she wandered to Shiwuniang's boudoir.
"Hey, what's wrong with Miss Fifteen? You don't look good? You're getting married soon, so you should be happy, right? Why are you listless? You're all in the capital, even if you miss your natal family, why don't you come back often? After Liu Niang finished speaking, she covered her mouth and laughed.
The maid stared at her bitterly, then lowered her head again.
Sixteen Niang saw that Fifteen Niang ignored her, she smiled and turned her head to greet the maid, "Hurry up and put on the snacks I brought for Fifteen Sister, Madam knows that I have been wronged these days, so she specially asked the cook at home to make it for me. I ordered several delicate snacks at the birthday banquet, it tastes very good, sister, come and try it?"
The servant girl quickly brought the snacks to the table.
Liu Niang seemed to have just remembered, and suddenly exclaimed, "Oh, I almost forgot, Miss Fifteen is on a hunger strike right now! Where can I get some snacks?"
She shook her head and sighed, squeezed a snack and put it in her mouth, and let out a long sigh.
"It's a pity, my sister can only watch me eat."
Shiwu Niang gave her a cold look, but she didn't take care of it. She turned her face to the side, picked up the idle book that was thrown aside, and looked through it.
"However, Third Auntie is not as soft-hearted as my aunt. Elder sister still needs to feel sorry for herself. Don't be so hungry that the time comes. Third Auntie will carry her sister to Wei's house even if she is afraid!" Sixteen Niang blew on the dim sum residue on her fingertips.
"Thank you for your reminder." Fifteen Niang said with a sneer, "Sister, you should take care of yourself more. My sister is not as young as Shi Seventy-eight."
Sixteen Niang sternly said, "My aunt will definitely take good care of me, sister should worry about herself first! You are hungry here, but I heard that the third aunt has already discussed it with the Wei family. It's Xiaoli's day."
Fifteen Niang was taken aback for a moment, and the servant girl beside her groaned.
Liu Niang laughed triumphantly, "Why doesn't my sister know? It seems that Aunt San is not afraid that my sister will starve to death, and she is not soft-hearted at all!"
"Get out!" Shiwu Niang said angrily.
Sixteen Niang was yelled at violently, and almost choked to death on the dim sum.
The maid served the tea bowl, and she gulped down several mouthfuls of tea, rolling her eyes, "Sister, why are you yelling at me? It's not me..."
"Get out!" Fifteen Niang suddenly stood up, pointing to the door, "Get rid of Xiao Shiliu, who has no age or age!"
"You don't need to rush!" Sixteen Niang also stood up abruptly, her face blushing, "How long will my sister be in the Xiao family's prestige? The Wei family will come in a few days!"
Xiao Shiliuniang was kicked out of the house.
Xiao Shiwuniang let out a breath, sat down and sat back, "Is it really necessary to have a little gift?"
A small gift is an engagement.Once the kiss is made, it is really irreversible.If she regrets the marriage after being engaged, then her reputation will suffer.
"Auntie just refuses..." Fifteenth Niang dropped the book, with a nasal sound in her throat.
The servant girl lowered her hands and persuaded her with red eyes: "Madam may be helpless, my lady should not be sad... Although Wei Qilang may not be very good, Mrs. Wei must be good to my lady. But time is limited, with mother-in-law's hands, are you afraid that you won't be able to deal with those concubines?"
Shiwu Niang looked helplessly at the servant girl, "How can you contradict yourself in what you said back and forth?"
The servant girl stuck out her tongue, she really had no choice but to comfort the lady, "By the way, why don't the lady write a letter to the princess for help? Maybe the princess has a way?"
Xiao Shiwuniang waved her hand, "She has tried her best to help me, what else can I do?"
"Miss, don't be discouraged. When the princess liked General Jing, no one liked it, and they couldn't say it. But if he has the ability to marry him... Isn't he living well now?" The maid's eyes were full of hope.
Fifteen Niang frowned, "One moment and another moment."
"My lady is on a hunger strike, what else can I not try?" the servant girl persuaded in a low voice.
Xiao Shiwuniang looked at the snacks on the table, thought of Shiliuniang's schadenfreude tone just now, and said, "Yeah, I've been forced to this point, what else can I not try? "
The maid hurriedly spread paper and ink, Xiao Shiwuniang stood in front of the window and thought carefully, and finally wrote a letter to Xiao Yuzhuo.
Xiao Yuzhuo received the letter, but before he had time to open it, he heard that "an honored guest came to the door".
"Uncle Madam is here, and now she has entered the gate and is walking towards the Chuihua Gate." The servant girl reported.
Xiao Yuzhuo was pinching the letter from Shiwu Niang, the corners of her mouth twitched, it was really a difficult scripture for every family.She put the letter away, got up and flicked the pleats of her skirt, "Uncle and Madam come here very rarely, let's go and greet her."
I don't know if it was because she was walking too slowly, or because my uncle and madam were urging her too quickly, the wind was blowing under the bearer's feet.
Before she could get out of the moon gate of the main courtyard, the sedan chair of my uncle and wife had already stopped outside the gate.
"My niece and daughter-in-law are far away, don't be surprised if I look at my aunt." Xiao Yuzhuo casually saluted and greeted her.
After getting off the sedan chair, Yang frowned and looked at her nervously, "Princess, are you here to invite me in?"
What he said was a bit lacking in confidence, and it was quite different from the deliberate criticism at the last Burning Tail Banquet.
Xiao Yuzhuo lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then he understood.
There were so many people that time, and Jing Yannian was at home, Yang knew that even if the princess did something wrong, she would not suffer.
It's different now, no outsiders are watching, and Jing Yannian is not in the house, surrounded by the princess's people, if she does something, she will suffer a lot.
It's no wonder that she is usually only willing to criticize the princess on Zhuangzi, and never dares to break into the mansion to make herself uncomfortable.
Then why did she come here today?
Xiao Yuzhuo thought about it thoroughly, and smiled slightly, "Uncle and Madam are so leisurely today, do you have time to sit at the house?"
Yang cleared her throat slightly nervously, "I have something to ask you, and your mother asked me to come..."
Xiao Yuzhuo looked at her with a half-smile, but didn't speak.
Yang licked her lips, "What does it look like standing at the door so carelessly?"
Xiao Yuzhuo took a step forward, smiled and stretched out his hand, "Auntie please."
She was pointing in the direction outside the yard.
Yang frowned in dissatisfaction, "There are no outsiders..."
Blocking the entrance of the main courtyard, she wanted to go in and have a look.
Xiao Yuzhuo refused to budge, "Auntie is a guest, how can I not have the way of hospitality? This way please."
Seeing that she had a smile on her face, but her tone was tough.At the Tail Burning Banquet, Yang Shi suffered a disadvantage from her, still remembering the lesson, he didn't dare to think that she was easy to bully when she smiled, so he followed her to the flower hall for foreigners in dismay.
"It's rare for my aunt to come, so go and prepare some tea and refreshments, which should be good." Xiao Yuzhuo ordered.
Only then did Yang regain some face, sat upright, and put on the appearance of an elder first, "On the fifteenth day of the lunar new year, neither the princess nor the gentleman went to the Zhuangzi, what's going on? No Miss your mother?"
Xiao Yuzhuo sighed softly, "Before I was busy with the tail banquet, I was really in a hurry. Later, I was not feeling well and couldn't go out. That's why I couldn't go back, which made my mother worry, but I also asked someone to send a message to my mother. Did you not see anyone?"
Yang was taken aback for a moment, his face was full of astonishment.
Xiao Yuzhuo understood after a little probing.
"Uh, I'm getting old, but, maybe I don't remember well? Your mother may have met someone, but she just forgot about it. She can't see you every day, so I hope you can spend more time with me on the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year. How could she know so many things!" Yang Shi wanted to prevaricate.
Xiao Yuzhuo smiled slightly, "My mother gave birth to a husband early, so why is she so old and confused when she is less than 40 years old? Aunt really..."
Yang Shi was choked by her, and his face was embarrassing.
"I'm afraid that my aunt thinks my mother doesn't know, so she deliberately blames me?" Xiao Yuzhuo said directly.
Yang frowned, and muttered in her heart, the princess is now not doing anything, just talking, but it is getting more and more annoying.
"Even if your mother didn't ask me to ask you, as an aunt, I raised the child and grew up with a mother, so I can't come to ask you? Do you think I don't have the right to ask you?" Yang asked sharply.
Xiao Yuzhuo smiled and said nothing, what's the use of being harsh?When a person's face can't be stern, it's most likely to be stern.
Mrs. Yang snorted heavily, and said again: "I came today not only to ask about this matter, but also to ask you—it is rumored that Nian'er raised a concubine in Xinghuafang, but is it true?"
Xiao Yuzhuo suddenly raised his head, narrowed his eyes and stared closely at Mrs. Yang, "This rumor has only just spread in the capital, and my aunt lives in Zhuangzi, so the news is very well-informed?"
Mrs. Yang was stunned, and said from left to right: "Nianer, he has such a great reputation, his news is naturally spread widely! Can't I, I know about it in Zhuangzi? What's so strange about that?" ?”
"My mother didn't come to ask after she found out, but my aunt couldn't sit still." Xiao Yuzhuo smiled slightly, "Is that strange?"
Yang Shi swallowed her saliva, "Nian'er was my grandma, and he kissed me. He had just been promoted to a general, and he asked for an imperial order for me. Naturally, I care more about him than her own mother!"
Xiao Yuzhuo lowered his eyes and sneered, "Isn't it just an outside room? There are no men who don't cheat. Auntie doesn't need to be so nervous."
Yang Shi listened to this, looked at her dumbfounded, and said stiffly after a while: "Isn't the Princess an evil person? I asked Wang Shi to serve you more, and you almost beat me with a whip... now? "
Xiao Yuzhuo snorted softly, "At this time and at that time, I have suffered a lot, so naturally I have to learn to be good. If you want to raise him outside, then you can raise him. If you want to take him back to the house, I will not stop you."
"No, no, no," Yang shook her head again and again, staring at her and said, "That's no good, you can't let them be kept outside! Men can't be so pampered!"
"Oh?" Xiao Yuzhuo raised his eyebrows, "Didn't my aunt teach me to obey my husband in everything, otherwise my husband will be weak?"
Yang opened her mouth, and hissed like a toothache, "How can this matter be the same? If a man gets his thoughts outside, his heart will not be in this house. The Princess will never tolerate it! The future troubles must be eliminated! "
Seeing that Xiao Yuzhuo didn't take her words to heart at all, Yang Shi seemed anxious.
"If you don't listen to me, don't you also listen to your mother's?"
Xiao Yuzhuo looked up at her, "Did mother ask aunt to bring a message?"
"Naturally," Yang said with a stern face, "Your mother has heard about the incident in the outer room. She doesn't like it. She said that Nian'er's reputation is bad and told you to deal with it as soon as possible!"
Xiao Yuzhuo couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"You can still laugh?!" Yang was furious.
Xiao Yuzhuo waved his hands, "Don't be angry, Auntie, I'll just agree, and I will definitely not tolerate it."
Only then did Yang look at Xiao Yuzhuo up and down, and reluctantly nodded, "As soon as possible!"
Xiao Yuzhuo hummed lightly, as a promise.
"Nian'er was bestowed by the Holy Majesty on this mansion. I haven't looked at it carefully yet. I have time today. I'll take a look around!" Yang said, then got up and walked out without waiting for Xiao Yuzhuo's consent.
Mei Xiang frowned and pinched her waist, "Is she really invisible?!"
Xiao Yuzhuo chuckled, "She must be going to see Aunt Wang, and find a clever maid to watch over her."
Zhuxiang stepped back to make arrangements.
Mei Xiang frowned, with anger still on her face, "It's just an aunt, but she thinks of herself as a serious mother-in-law! Even a mother-in-law can't be so arrogant and domineering in front of the princess!"
"Why do you need to be as knowledgeable as her?" Xiao Yuzhuo shook his head indifferently, not caring.
"The Princess is not angry?" Mei Xiang's round eyes widened.
Xiao Yuzhuo smiled, "Why should I be angry?"
"She also bosses and assigns the princess to do this and that!" Mei Xiang pouted.
Not only did Xiao Yuzhuo not show any anger on his face, but he seemed quite happy, "Tell me, why did she come to the door in such a hurry and asked me to deal with the 'outside room'?"
Mei Xiang frowned, and her face was a little confused, "Where is there any outside room? It's just a misunderstanding. She is so nervous... because she is afraid... that Mr. Lang really wants to belong?"
Only then did Xiao Yuzhuo restrain his smile, and put on a serious expression, "Yes, he is afraid that Mr. Lang really likes someone... Maybe it's not her who is afraid, but the one in the palace who is afraid."
Mei Xiang groaned, opened her mouth wide, and nodded heavily for a while, "The princess is afraid that Mr. Lang really has someone he likes, so she will..."
"So Mrs. Yang anxiously borrowed my hand to tidy up the outer room. First, it can eliminate the threat of the outer room to the princess. Second, this matter will definitely anger the gentleman, so that the gentleman hates me even more. Really Killing two birds with one stone, the deal couldn't be cheaper." Xiao Yuzhuo curled his lips.
Mei Xiang snorted, "It's her wishful thinking! She won't succeed this time!"
Xiao Yuzhuo narrowed his eyes and thought carefully, "Perhaps I should really thank Wei Qilang."
"Thank him for what? Destroying the reputation of the lord and the princess, and finally people in Chang'an stopped calling the princess a jealous woman, and now..." Mei Xiang pouted and muttered.
Xiao Yuzhuo shook his head, "What's a temporary rumor? It would be best if the one in the palace can't sit still."
"The chief of the county is Xie Wei Qilang, I'm afraid Shiwuniang doesn't want to thank him..." Mei Xiang said helplessly half-jokingly.
Xiao Yuzhuo suddenly remembered, "Letter! Fifteen Niang's letter!"
She hurried back to the main courtyard, and took out the letter she had put away.
Shiwuniang's handwriting is very beautiful and beautiful, the entire letter is clean and refreshing, although the lines are full of melancholy, but the clear and bright words and the clean paper still make people feel refreshed.
Xiao Yuzhuo sighed, "It's really unfortunate."
"Fifteen Niang is quite pitiful." Mei Xiang nodded in agreement.
Xiao Yuzhuo shook her head again and again, "I'm not saying that she is unfortunate, but that her own destiny cannot be held in her own hands, and what she wants to do can't be done according to her own will. Even getting married is not up to her. It's misfortune!"
"Ah?" Mei Xiang opened her mouth slightly and her eyes widened when she heard the words, "But... isn't everyone like this?"
Xiao Yuzhuo nodded heavily, "Yes, that's the misfortune of this era!"
"What did the princess say..." Mei Xiang was startled, looked around quickly, and said in a panic, "The princess is careful, if this word reaches the ears of the sage, she will think that the princess is dissatisfied with the sage...it is unspeakable , unspeakable!"
Xiao Yuzhuo frowned, really, he didn't even have the freedom of speech, how could he talk about other freedoms?
She dropped the letter and walked around the room a few times in boredom.
"Will the chief of the county write a reply to Shiwu Niang?" Mei Xiang looked at the dried ink in the inkstone.
Xiao Yuzhuo bit her lower lip, "I'll think about it again, there are more solutions than difficulties, we can't just let her marry into the Wei family!"
"Is there any other way, my lady? I thought that after Wei Qilang had something like this, the third lady would never agree to this marriage again, how would I know..." Mei Xiang shook her head and sighed, "It's a pity that my lady's [-] pennies are lost!"
Xiao Yuzhuo frowned and said, "Jingzhao Webster is an old aristocrat from Chang'an's family, and he was originally related to the Xiao family. He has made contributions to the current Holy Majesty and won the favor of the Holy Majesty. With the current situation of the Xiao family, it is natural for him to be married to the Webster." the best."
When she heard that Shiwu Niang was going to marry Wei Qilang, she specifically inquired about Wei's background from Liao Changsheng.
The Wei family has several branches, and Jingzhao Wei's is the most brilliant one among the several branches of the Wei family.If it weren't for the fact that the Wei family's population is not too prosperous now, it will definitely rise to a higher level.
This is a great opportunity for the Xiao family. The Xiao family has many heirs. If Mrs. Xiao Shiwu is married to the Wei family, it will be even better if she can get a boy in one fell swoop.
Even if the third wife loves her daughter dearly, she will not allow the fifteenth mother to marry into the Wei family.The Xiao family is afraid that they will find other daughters to form a marriage with the Wei family.
In the past, perhaps a girl from the Xiao family's concubine would also be able to climb into this family.But now that the Xiao family is in decline, Xiao Shiwuniang, who was born as a descendant, is naturally the best choice.
"If there is a better candidate..." Mei Xiang murmured to herself, "People go to higher places..."
Xiao Yuzhuo's eyes suddenly lit up, and he laughed when he saw her.
Mei Xiang was taken aback, "Why are you looking at me like that, lady?"
"You are always cute, but sometimes you are smart?" Xiao Yuzhuo smiled slightly, "Yanmo."
Mei Xiang was praised, and excitedly rolled up her sleeves, "The big maid in front of the princess, my servant is naturally smart!"
Xiao Yuzhuo picked up the pen and spoke in his mind.
Mei Xiang spread paper and ink nimbly, and asked cautiously, "However, what is cuteness?"
Xiao Yuzhuo tapped her forehead with the tip of a pen, "That's what you are."
When she wrote to Xiao Shiwuniang, it was not to tell her any new method, but to ask who was the "sweetheart" who was only mentioned but could not be said last time?Since there are some things that cannot be changed by force, then maybe there will be a turning point if you follow the trend?
Doesn't the Xiao family want to marry someone who can help them, in order to form an alliance?
If she has someone she belongs to and can help the Xiao family, wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?
Xiao Yuzhuo had already thought about this matter, she had to go to ask Jing Yannian or ask her mother to help.
Shiwuniang refused to say, it must be because of that person's low status, after all Jing Yannian is the emperor's favored minister, maybe he can recommend him and give him a hand.Senior officials can't do it for a while, and there is still hope for finding an important position.
She sealed the reply envelope and handed it to Zhu Xiang in person, "Be sure to hand it to Shiwu Niang, and come back when you get the reply. If the news is leaked, it will be bad for her."
Zhuxiang nodded cautiously and left with the letter.
Only then did Xiao Yuzhuo breathe a sigh of relief, and sat down lazily, "Is there someone watching over Yang's side?"
Mei Xiang went to ask, and came back not long after, "Zhu Xiang told her little apprentice Lian Wu to watch over her. The princess did not guess wrong at all. Uncle Madam went to see Aunt Wang!"
After wandering around the garden, Mrs. Yang inquired about Aunt Wang's residence and went looking for it.
Since Aunt Wang had no child, she stayed in her yard most of the time, not making a sound or going out.The arrogance of the past is completely gone.
"Auntie, uncle and madam have come to see you." When the servant girl entered the room to report, she was looking at a sample of a bellyband.
Hearing the sound, Aunt Wang's face darkened, and the sample in her hand stabbed and was torn in two.
(End of this chapter)
Hearing this familiar voice, Bai He raised her face with tears in surprise, "Wei Lang..."
There were some leaves of grass hanging on Wei Qilang's robe, although he was a bit embarrassed, but he was undoubtedly the one, "He'er, why am I willing to let you die?"
Everyone around watched the development of the matter with eyes wide open.
The sudden appearance of Wei Qilang immediately reversed the situation.People who originally thought that this little lady was going to die are now excited.
Bai He smiled and wiped her tears, she was so excited that she could hardly speak.
"You... are really pregnant with my flesh and blood?" Wei Qilang asked in a low voice.
Bai He's fingers trembled, but there was no hesitation on her face, she nodded again and again, with joy and anxiety, "Will you blame me? I... I don't want to cause trouble for you, but... I'm sorry, I..."
"What are you talking about? I should have welcomed you in a long time ago, but Auntie is too restrictive. Now that you have my flesh and blood, how can I make you suffer outside?" Wei Qilang stepped forward to hold Bai He helped her up from the ground, and even bent over to flick off the dust on her plain white skirt.
The young and inexperienced ladies around became nympho and cheered accordingly.
Wei Qilang raised his head and threw out an indifferent smile.He has a good face, and he was once known as the Yulang of the Wei family. With such a smile, he can't turn all living beings upside down, and it can also make the little ladies watching the fun at the door happy.
"It's said that Qilang of the Wei family is romantic, but today, he seems to be a man in love." Some people also said so.
"Qilang went out over the wall and took the little lady in." The servant woman hurried back to report.
Mrs. Wei immediately fell on her back in anger, and couldn't hold back for a long time, "I...I have done so much for him, isn't it for his own good? He...he actually..."
Madam Wei rolled her eyes.
The servant girl hurried forward to pinch him, shaking and shouting.
Mrs. Wei recovered her anger, her angry face was dark, "He, he is deliberately angry with me! I don't think I can control him anymore!"
Wei Qilang comforted Bai He, and placed her in his courtyard.
Only then did he slowly walk down the corridor, bowing his head and flicking off the grass leaves on his body.
"Didn't Mr. Lang say that Xiaocui from Xinghualou is more charming than Lady Bai?" The servant followed behind him puzzled, "Why..."
Wei Qilang snorted, "If there is no such precedent, Auntie thinks she can hold me in her hands at any time. I just want to let her know that I have my own ideas! Besides, the house in Xinghuafang will not be vacated. Come out, where can I put Tweety?"
The boy opened his mouth in surprise.
Wei Qilang snorted coldly, "I've had enough of my mother's domination! You still want me to marry Xiao's daughter? The Xiao family has a hag like Princess Shouchang, what good things can there be? Bah... ..."
The boy was tongue-tied, he wanted to say, I heard that Princess Shouchang is very different now... Wei Qilang was terrible, so he finally shut up and swallowed his words.
Xiao Yuzhuo was in a good mood when he heard that Wei Qilang had really accepted Baihe into the house.Immediately wrote a letter and asked someone to secretly send it to Xiao Shishiniang.
Even the rumors that "General Jing is raising a foreign room in Xinghuafang" failed to affect her relaxed and happy mood.
"Send the fresh melons from Zhuangzi to Auntie, and send some to a few aunts, and secretly pass this letter to Shiwuniang, so don't let others know." Xiao Yuzhuo told Zhuxiang.
Zhu Xiang retreated in response.
Mei Xiang was slightly worried, "My lady, the rumors about the general..."
"Then what's the matter?" Xiao Yuzhuo didn't care, "Rumors spread at this time, you don't need to think about it, it must be Wei Qilang who suffered a loss, he was unwilling, he didn't dare to face the general's house, so he thought of it This kind of indiscriminate means. Don't pay attention to him!"
"Isn't the servant worried about this?" Mei Xiang shook her head repeatedly, "The princess can still hear the rumors, so wouldn't the gentleman know?"
Xiao Yuzhuo frowned upon hearing this, "He is well-informed, maybe he knew it earlier than me."
Mei Xiang nodded again and again, "Will Mr. Lang be angry?"
Could it be that she was to blame for getting him into trouble?Will he take the opportunity to find her again?
This is really a headache, Xiao Yuzhuo frowned.Although Jing Yannian didn't treat the princess very well, his reputation outside has always been very good.
Men these days are most concerned about their own prestige, rumors say that he has a concubine, being romantic is not such a bad reputation for a man.But as a military commander, if he spreads the reputation of being fearful...
Thinking of the horror of his handsome face when it darkened, Xiao Yuzhuo couldn't help shivering, and said with a forced smile, "No, it's nothing, it's just a misunderstanding anyway..."
She had already scolded Wei Qilang several times in her heart.
She was not the only one who scolded Wei Qilang.
Xiao Shiwuniang read the note she secretly handed over, and knew what happened at the door of Wei's house today.Xiao Shiwuniang hadn't spoken yet, but the maid had already scolded Wei Qilang a hundred times.
"We are going to be married to the Xiao family, and he brought this outer room into the mansion at this time, and he is still pregnant with the outer room," the servant girl gritted her teeth angrily, "Isn't this embarrassing the lady?"
Xiao Shiwuniang nodded slowly, "Where are you making trouble for me? It is clearly an opportunity to slap the Xiao family in the face."
The servant girl was taken aback, and asked slowly: "Then, madam won't marry her to the Wei family, right? They've slapped me like this..."
"Looking at Mrs. Wei's reaction, the Wei family should want to marry the Xiao family, but Wei Qilang himself doesn't want to." Xiao Shiwuniang sighed.
The servant girl frowned, "What is the use of Mrs. Guangwei's wishes? Whether the lady will live well in the future depends on Wei Qilang's attitude..."
Xiao Shiwuniang drooped her eyes, her complexion somber, "For the benefit of the Xiao family, it's enough to form a good relationship. Whether I'm doing well...sometimes, it's not that important."
The servant girl shook her head again and again, "Madam loves my lady the most."
Xiao Shiwuniang snorted, "Aniang loves me, but there are some things that I can't help her..."
Third Mrs. Xiao kept an eye on the Wei family, and she must have heard of such a farce in front of the Wei family.
She was immediately troubled.
Her precious daughter was going to marry into the Wei family, but Wei Qilang actually welcomed the outer room into the door so carelessly when the two families were talking about their marriage?
Don't take Xiao's daughter seriously at all!
But Wei Qilang's father is the prefect of Jingzhao Mansion. The prefect is not a high-ranking official, but in Jingzhao Mansion, he has real power.
If it was the status of the Xiao family in the past, she would have turned her back if she said she had turned her back on her. Now the Xiao family is in danger...
"Alas..." the third lady sighed, "I have wronged Yan'er."
"Madam, Madam is not well..." The servant girl hurried in from outside the courtyard and knelt outside the curtain.
The third lady was thinking about her daughter's marriage, when she said "it's not good", she trembled in fright, and said sharply with an unfriendly expression: "Which courtyard maid is so unruly?"
The servant girl outside the door curtain said: "My servant, my servant is Yunxiang who is beside Shiwuniang."
Is it really related to Shiwu Niang?
The third lady's heart fluttered, and she immediately raised her hand, "Come in and answer, what's wrong?"
The servant girl's face was flushed, and her forehead was sweaty, she clearly ran all the way, "The lady said, she...she wants to go on a hunger strike, if the madam insists on marrying her to the Wei family, she...she will starve herself to death. "
After the little maid finished speaking, she quickly lowered her head, her eyes rolling around.
The third lady slapped the little girl fiercely, "It's outrageous!"
"Don't be angry, Ma'am. After all, Shiwuniang is young. She must have heard about Wei Qilang. Shiwuniang is a daughter of the Xiao family. She has never been wronged since she was a child, and she is the top sister among the sisters. Wei Qilang is so Don't be stingy, how can she bear it?" The old servant hurriedly followed the third lady's back, slowly persuading.
When the third lady heard this, a basin of cold water poured down her head.
She was much annoyed, and her voice was filled with grievance and distress, "Yeah, Yan'er has been well-behaved since she was a child, and even when compared with the princess, she never loses her momentum..."
The maid who was kneeling on the ground breathed a sigh of relief.
The third lady shook her head suddenly, "It's just that the princess's life is good, her life... oh!"
The servant girl was anxious and raised her head suddenly, "My lady buried her head in her head and cried for several times..."
"If she doesn't eat, then don't eat. It doesn't matter if she is hungry for a few days. When she wakes up from hunger, ask her to come see me again!" The third lady said with a straight face and a hard heart.
Xiao Shiliuniang pretended to be obedient and coaxed the eldest lady to be happy. As soon as she was released from the Xiulou, she heard about Shiwuniang.
With a proud face, she wandered to Shiwuniang's boudoir.
"Hey, what's wrong with Miss Fifteen? You don't look good? You're getting married soon, so you should be happy, right? Why are you listless? You're all in the capital, even if you miss your natal family, why don't you come back often? After Liu Niang finished speaking, she covered her mouth and laughed.
The maid stared at her bitterly, then lowered her head again.
Sixteen Niang saw that Fifteen Niang ignored her, she smiled and turned her head to greet the maid, "Hurry up and put on the snacks I brought for Fifteen Sister, Madam knows that I have been wronged these days, so she specially asked the cook at home to make it for me. I ordered several delicate snacks at the birthday banquet, it tastes very good, sister, come and try it?"
The servant girl quickly brought the snacks to the table.
Liu Niang seemed to have just remembered, and suddenly exclaimed, "Oh, I almost forgot, Miss Fifteen is on a hunger strike right now! Where can I get some snacks?"
She shook her head and sighed, squeezed a snack and put it in her mouth, and let out a long sigh.
"It's a pity, my sister can only watch me eat."
Shiwu Niang gave her a cold look, but she didn't take care of it. She turned her face to the side, picked up the idle book that was thrown aside, and looked through it.
"However, Third Auntie is not as soft-hearted as my aunt. Elder sister still needs to feel sorry for herself. Don't be so hungry that the time comes. Third Auntie will carry her sister to Wei's house even if she is afraid!" Sixteen Niang blew on the dim sum residue on her fingertips.
"Thank you for your reminder." Fifteen Niang said with a sneer, "Sister, you should take care of yourself more. My sister is not as young as Shi Seventy-eight."
Sixteen Niang sternly said, "My aunt will definitely take good care of me, sister should worry about herself first! You are hungry here, but I heard that the third aunt has already discussed it with the Wei family. It's Xiaoli's day."
Fifteen Niang was taken aback for a moment, and the servant girl beside her groaned.
Liu Niang laughed triumphantly, "Why doesn't my sister know? It seems that Aunt San is not afraid that my sister will starve to death, and she is not soft-hearted at all!"
"Get out!" Shiwu Niang said angrily.
Sixteen Niang was yelled at violently, and almost choked to death on the dim sum.
The maid served the tea bowl, and she gulped down several mouthfuls of tea, rolling her eyes, "Sister, why are you yelling at me? It's not me..."
"Get out!" Fifteen Niang suddenly stood up, pointing to the door, "Get rid of Xiao Shiliu, who has no age or age!"
"You don't need to rush!" Sixteen Niang also stood up abruptly, her face blushing, "How long will my sister be in the Xiao family's prestige? The Wei family will come in a few days!"
Xiao Shiliuniang was kicked out of the house.
Xiao Shiwuniang let out a breath, sat down and sat back, "Is it really necessary to have a little gift?"
A small gift is an engagement.Once the kiss is made, it is really irreversible.If she regrets the marriage after being engaged, then her reputation will suffer.
"Auntie just refuses..." Fifteenth Niang dropped the book, with a nasal sound in her throat.
The servant girl lowered her hands and persuaded her with red eyes: "Madam may be helpless, my lady should not be sad... Although Wei Qilang may not be very good, Mrs. Wei must be good to my lady. But time is limited, with mother-in-law's hands, are you afraid that you won't be able to deal with those concubines?"
Shiwu Niang looked helplessly at the servant girl, "How can you contradict yourself in what you said back and forth?"
The servant girl stuck out her tongue, she really had no choice but to comfort the lady, "By the way, why don't the lady write a letter to the princess for help? Maybe the princess has a way?"
Xiao Shiwuniang waved her hand, "She has tried her best to help me, what else can I do?"
"Miss, don't be discouraged. When the princess liked General Jing, no one liked it, and they couldn't say it. But if he has the ability to marry him... Isn't he living well now?" The maid's eyes were full of hope.
Fifteen Niang frowned, "One moment and another moment."
"My lady is on a hunger strike, what else can I not try?" the servant girl persuaded in a low voice.
Xiao Shiwuniang looked at the snacks on the table, thought of Shiliuniang's schadenfreude tone just now, and said, "Yeah, I've been forced to this point, what else can I not try? "
The maid hurriedly spread paper and ink, Xiao Shiwuniang stood in front of the window and thought carefully, and finally wrote a letter to Xiao Yuzhuo.
Xiao Yuzhuo received the letter, but before he had time to open it, he heard that "an honored guest came to the door".
"Uncle Madam is here, and now she has entered the gate and is walking towards the Chuihua Gate." The servant girl reported.
Xiao Yuzhuo was pinching the letter from Shiwu Niang, the corners of her mouth twitched, it was really a difficult scripture for every family.She put the letter away, got up and flicked the pleats of her skirt, "Uncle and Madam come here very rarely, let's go and greet her."
I don't know if it was because she was walking too slowly, or because my uncle and madam were urging her too quickly, the wind was blowing under the bearer's feet.
Before she could get out of the moon gate of the main courtyard, the sedan chair of my uncle and wife had already stopped outside the gate.
"My niece and daughter-in-law are far away, don't be surprised if I look at my aunt." Xiao Yuzhuo casually saluted and greeted her.
After getting off the sedan chair, Yang frowned and looked at her nervously, "Princess, are you here to invite me in?"
What he said was a bit lacking in confidence, and it was quite different from the deliberate criticism at the last Burning Tail Banquet.
Xiao Yuzhuo lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then he understood.
There were so many people that time, and Jing Yannian was at home, Yang knew that even if the princess did something wrong, she would not suffer.
It's different now, no outsiders are watching, and Jing Yannian is not in the house, surrounded by the princess's people, if she does something, she will suffer a lot.
It's no wonder that she is usually only willing to criticize the princess on Zhuangzi, and never dares to break into the mansion to make herself uncomfortable.
Then why did she come here today?
Xiao Yuzhuo thought about it thoroughly, and smiled slightly, "Uncle and Madam are so leisurely today, do you have time to sit at the house?"
Yang cleared her throat slightly nervously, "I have something to ask you, and your mother asked me to come..."
Xiao Yuzhuo looked at her with a half-smile, but didn't speak.
Yang licked her lips, "What does it look like standing at the door so carelessly?"
Xiao Yuzhuo took a step forward, smiled and stretched out his hand, "Auntie please."
She was pointing in the direction outside the yard.
Yang frowned in dissatisfaction, "There are no outsiders..."
Blocking the entrance of the main courtyard, she wanted to go in and have a look.
Xiao Yuzhuo refused to budge, "Auntie is a guest, how can I not have the way of hospitality? This way please."
Seeing that she had a smile on her face, but her tone was tough.At the Tail Burning Banquet, Yang Shi suffered a disadvantage from her, still remembering the lesson, he didn't dare to think that she was easy to bully when she smiled, so he followed her to the flower hall for foreigners in dismay.
"It's rare for my aunt to come, so go and prepare some tea and refreshments, which should be good." Xiao Yuzhuo ordered.
Only then did Yang regain some face, sat upright, and put on the appearance of an elder first, "On the fifteenth day of the lunar new year, neither the princess nor the gentleman went to the Zhuangzi, what's going on? No Miss your mother?"
Xiao Yuzhuo sighed softly, "Before I was busy with the tail banquet, I was really in a hurry. Later, I was not feeling well and couldn't go out. That's why I couldn't go back, which made my mother worry, but I also asked someone to send a message to my mother. Did you not see anyone?"
Yang was taken aback for a moment, his face was full of astonishment.
Xiao Yuzhuo understood after a little probing.
"Uh, I'm getting old, but, maybe I don't remember well? Your mother may have met someone, but she just forgot about it. She can't see you every day, so I hope you can spend more time with me on the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year. How could she know so many things!" Yang Shi wanted to prevaricate.
Xiao Yuzhuo smiled slightly, "My mother gave birth to a husband early, so why is she so old and confused when she is less than 40 years old? Aunt really..."
Yang Shi was choked by her, and his face was embarrassing.
"I'm afraid that my aunt thinks my mother doesn't know, so she deliberately blames me?" Xiao Yuzhuo said directly.
Yang frowned, and muttered in her heart, the princess is now not doing anything, just talking, but it is getting more and more annoying.
"Even if your mother didn't ask me to ask you, as an aunt, I raised the child and grew up with a mother, so I can't come to ask you? Do you think I don't have the right to ask you?" Yang asked sharply.
Xiao Yuzhuo smiled and said nothing, what's the use of being harsh?When a person's face can't be stern, it's most likely to be stern.
Mrs. Yang snorted heavily, and said again: "I came today not only to ask about this matter, but also to ask you—it is rumored that Nian'er raised a concubine in Xinghuafang, but is it true?"
Xiao Yuzhuo suddenly raised his head, narrowed his eyes and stared closely at Mrs. Yang, "This rumor has only just spread in the capital, and my aunt lives in Zhuangzi, so the news is very well-informed?"
Mrs. Yang was stunned, and said from left to right: "Nianer, he has such a great reputation, his news is naturally spread widely! Can't I, I know about it in Zhuangzi? What's so strange about that?" ?”
"My mother didn't come to ask after she found out, but my aunt couldn't sit still." Xiao Yuzhuo smiled slightly, "Is that strange?"
Yang Shi swallowed her saliva, "Nian'er was my grandma, and he kissed me. He had just been promoted to a general, and he asked for an imperial order for me. Naturally, I care more about him than her own mother!"
Xiao Yuzhuo lowered his eyes and sneered, "Isn't it just an outside room? There are no men who don't cheat. Auntie doesn't need to be so nervous."
Yang Shi listened to this, looked at her dumbfounded, and said stiffly after a while: "Isn't the Princess an evil person? I asked Wang Shi to serve you more, and you almost beat me with a whip... now? "
Xiao Yuzhuo snorted softly, "At this time and at that time, I have suffered a lot, so naturally I have to learn to be good. If you want to raise him outside, then you can raise him. If you want to take him back to the house, I will not stop you."
"No, no, no," Yang shook her head again and again, staring at her and said, "That's no good, you can't let them be kept outside! Men can't be so pampered!"
"Oh?" Xiao Yuzhuo raised his eyebrows, "Didn't my aunt teach me to obey my husband in everything, otherwise my husband will be weak?"
Yang opened her mouth, and hissed like a toothache, "How can this matter be the same? If a man gets his thoughts outside, his heart will not be in this house. The Princess will never tolerate it! The future troubles must be eliminated! "
Seeing that Xiao Yuzhuo didn't take her words to heart at all, Yang Shi seemed anxious.
"If you don't listen to me, don't you also listen to your mother's?"
Xiao Yuzhuo looked up at her, "Did mother ask aunt to bring a message?"
"Naturally," Yang said with a stern face, "Your mother has heard about the incident in the outer room. She doesn't like it. She said that Nian'er's reputation is bad and told you to deal with it as soon as possible!"
Xiao Yuzhuo couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"You can still laugh?!" Yang was furious.
Xiao Yuzhuo waved his hands, "Don't be angry, Auntie, I'll just agree, and I will definitely not tolerate it."
Only then did Yang look at Xiao Yuzhuo up and down, and reluctantly nodded, "As soon as possible!"
Xiao Yuzhuo hummed lightly, as a promise.
"Nian'er was bestowed by the Holy Majesty on this mansion. I haven't looked at it carefully yet. I have time today. I'll take a look around!" Yang said, then got up and walked out without waiting for Xiao Yuzhuo's consent.
Mei Xiang frowned and pinched her waist, "Is she really invisible?!"
Xiao Yuzhuo chuckled, "She must be going to see Aunt Wang, and find a clever maid to watch over her."
Zhuxiang stepped back to make arrangements.
Mei Xiang frowned, with anger still on her face, "It's just an aunt, but she thinks of herself as a serious mother-in-law! Even a mother-in-law can't be so arrogant and domineering in front of the princess!"
"Why do you need to be as knowledgeable as her?" Xiao Yuzhuo shook his head indifferently, not caring.
"The Princess is not angry?" Mei Xiang's round eyes widened.
Xiao Yuzhuo smiled, "Why should I be angry?"
"She also bosses and assigns the princess to do this and that!" Mei Xiang pouted.
Not only did Xiao Yuzhuo not show any anger on his face, but he seemed quite happy, "Tell me, why did she come to the door in such a hurry and asked me to deal with the 'outside room'?"
Mei Xiang frowned, and her face was a little confused, "Where is there any outside room? It's just a misunderstanding. She is so nervous... because she is afraid... that Mr. Lang really wants to belong?"
Only then did Xiao Yuzhuo restrain his smile, and put on a serious expression, "Yes, he is afraid that Mr. Lang really likes someone... Maybe it's not her who is afraid, but the one in the palace who is afraid."
Mei Xiang groaned, opened her mouth wide, and nodded heavily for a while, "The princess is afraid that Mr. Lang really has someone he likes, so she will..."
"So Mrs. Yang anxiously borrowed my hand to tidy up the outer room. First, it can eliminate the threat of the outer room to the princess. Second, this matter will definitely anger the gentleman, so that the gentleman hates me even more. Really Killing two birds with one stone, the deal couldn't be cheaper." Xiao Yuzhuo curled his lips.
Mei Xiang snorted, "It's her wishful thinking! She won't succeed this time!"
Xiao Yuzhuo narrowed his eyes and thought carefully, "Perhaps I should really thank Wei Qilang."
"Thank him for what? Destroying the reputation of the lord and the princess, and finally people in Chang'an stopped calling the princess a jealous woman, and now..." Mei Xiang pouted and muttered.
Xiao Yuzhuo shook his head, "What's a temporary rumor? It would be best if the one in the palace can't sit still."
"The chief of the county is Xie Wei Qilang, I'm afraid Shiwuniang doesn't want to thank him..." Mei Xiang said helplessly half-jokingly.
Xiao Yuzhuo suddenly remembered, "Letter! Fifteen Niang's letter!"
She hurried back to the main courtyard, and took out the letter she had put away.
Shiwuniang's handwriting is very beautiful and beautiful, the entire letter is clean and refreshing, although the lines are full of melancholy, but the clear and bright words and the clean paper still make people feel refreshed.
Xiao Yuzhuo sighed, "It's really unfortunate."
"Fifteen Niang is quite pitiful." Mei Xiang nodded in agreement.
Xiao Yuzhuo shook her head again and again, "I'm not saying that she is unfortunate, but that her own destiny cannot be held in her own hands, and what she wants to do can't be done according to her own will. Even getting married is not up to her. It's misfortune!"
"Ah?" Mei Xiang opened her mouth slightly and her eyes widened when she heard the words, "But... isn't everyone like this?"
Xiao Yuzhuo nodded heavily, "Yes, that's the misfortune of this era!"
"What did the princess say..." Mei Xiang was startled, looked around quickly, and said in a panic, "The princess is careful, if this word reaches the ears of the sage, she will think that the princess is dissatisfied with the sage...it is unspeakable , unspeakable!"
Xiao Yuzhuo frowned, really, he didn't even have the freedom of speech, how could he talk about other freedoms?
She dropped the letter and walked around the room a few times in boredom.
"Will the chief of the county write a reply to Shiwu Niang?" Mei Xiang looked at the dried ink in the inkstone.
Xiao Yuzhuo bit her lower lip, "I'll think about it again, there are more solutions than difficulties, we can't just let her marry into the Wei family!"
"Is there any other way, my lady? I thought that after Wei Qilang had something like this, the third lady would never agree to this marriage again, how would I know..." Mei Xiang shook her head and sighed, "It's a pity that my lady's [-] pennies are lost!"
Xiao Yuzhuo frowned and said, "Jingzhao Webster is an old aristocrat from Chang'an's family, and he was originally related to the Xiao family. He has made contributions to the current Holy Majesty and won the favor of the Holy Majesty. With the current situation of the Xiao family, it is natural for him to be married to the Webster." the best."
When she heard that Shiwu Niang was going to marry Wei Qilang, she specifically inquired about Wei's background from Liao Changsheng.
The Wei family has several branches, and Jingzhao Wei's is the most brilliant one among the several branches of the Wei family.If it weren't for the fact that the Wei family's population is not too prosperous now, it will definitely rise to a higher level.
This is a great opportunity for the Xiao family. The Xiao family has many heirs. If Mrs. Xiao Shiwu is married to the Wei family, it will be even better if she can get a boy in one fell swoop.
Even if the third wife loves her daughter dearly, she will not allow the fifteenth mother to marry into the Wei family.The Xiao family is afraid that they will find other daughters to form a marriage with the Wei family.
In the past, perhaps a girl from the Xiao family's concubine would also be able to climb into this family.But now that the Xiao family is in decline, Xiao Shiwuniang, who was born as a descendant, is naturally the best choice.
"If there is a better candidate..." Mei Xiang murmured to herself, "People go to higher places..."
Xiao Yuzhuo's eyes suddenly lit up, and he laughed when he saw her.
Mei Xiang was taken aback, "Why are you looking at me like that, lady?"
"You are always cute, but sometimes you are smart?" Xiao Yuzhuo smiled slightly, "Yanmo."
Mei Xiang was praised, and excitedly rolled up her sleeves, "The big maid in front of the princess, my servant is naturally smart!"
Xiao Yuzhuo picked up the pen and spoke in his mind.
Mei Xiang spread paper and ink nimbly, and asked cautiously, "However, what is cuteness?"
Xiao Yuzhuo tapped her forehead with the tip of a pen, "That's what you are."
When she wrote to Xiao Shiwuniang, it was not to tell her any new method, but to ask who was the "sweetheart" who was only mentioned but could not be said last time?Since there are some things that cannot be changed by force, then maybe there will be a turning point if you follow the trend?
Doesn't the Xiao family want to marry someone who can help them, in order to form an alliance?
If she has someone she belongs to and can help the Xiao family, wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?
Xiao Yuzhuo had already thought about this matter, she had to go to ask Jing Yannian or ask her mother to help.
Shiwuniang refused to say, it must be because of that person's low status, after all Jing Yannian is the emperor's favored minister, maybe he can recommend him and give him a hand.Senior officials can't do it for a while, and there is still hope for finding an important position.
She sealed the reply envelope and handed it to Zhu Xiang in person, "Be sure to hand it to Shiwu Niang, and come back when you get the reply. If the news is leaked, it will be bad for her."
Zhuxiang nodded cautiously and left with the letter.
Only then did Xiao Yuzhuo breathe a sigh of relief, and sat down lazily, "Is there someone watching over Yang's side?"
Mei Xiang went to ask, and came back not long after, "Zhu Xiang told her little apprentice Lian Wu to watch over her. The princess did not guess wrong at all. Uncle Madam went to see Aunt Wang!"
After wandering around the garden, Mrs. Yang inquired about Aunt Wang's residence and went looking for it.
Since Aunt Wang had no child, she stayed in her yard most of the time, not making a sound or going out.The arrogance of the past is completely gone.
"Auntie, uncle and madam have come to see you." When the servant girl entered the room to report, she was looking at a sample of a bellyband.
Hearing the sound, Aunt Wang's face darkened, and the sample in her hand stabbed and was torn in two.
