Chapter 188 The Second Young Master Makes a Comeback

The Liang family seemed really impatient.

The decree of bestowing marriage has been made for several years, but the Liang family was unwilling to marry the talented and beautiful daughter-in-law to the concubine son of the Hou family who was a political opponent, so they kept procrastinating on the grounds that their daughter was still young. Through the eldest daughter Ke Wangfei Liang, the youngest daughter Liang Yue was sent to the palace to "accompany" the queen mother, hoping to "encounter" the emperor by chance, so as to get rid of the absurd marriage and make her daughter climb high.It's a pity that the emperor was unwilling to cooperate with the performance, and Liang Yue asked the empress to send her home because of some minor mistake.To this day, she is already a big girl, and she also has a marriage contract bestowed by the emperor, so where is her future?
The power of Grand Master Liang and his officials has been declining under the suppression of the emperor in recent years.Grand Master Liang suddenly realized that he had been in charge of the government for many years, and he was one-sided in matters of state affairs. When the emperor was young, he could still sit back and relax. Now that the emperor is full-fledged, how can he be accommodated?He kept fighting against the emperor in order to maintain his power and position, which is a big taboo for ministers. In fact, with his status as a veteran of the two dynasties and a minister of Tuogu, as long as he is smarter, the emperor will not be able to move him easily. Why should he be eliminated by the emperor? made his excuse?

So he restrained his movements a little, and handed over some matters that would annoy the emperor if he couldn't make concessions, and handed over to a few officials of little value under him to do it for him, while he kept silent at the top, and would only intervene when encountering major events; On the other hand, he went to the Qingguohou's mansion to discuss his daughter's marriage. Seeing that the Qingguohou Li Zhang tried every means to evade it, and cursed in private, he specially asked his eldest daughter to ask the queen mother to speak, so that the Qingguohou's mansion would not have a chance to delay. He also asked his wife to come to the door in person.

It was originally a marriage bestowed by the emperor, but the queen mother spoke again, so the Qingguohou's mansion stopped talking.In fact, the master of the Hou Mansion has long been mentally prepared to marry a daughter-in-law who is not from an unsatisfactory background. He just wants to delay the arrogance of the Liang family. Various preparations have already begun. Since Mrs. Liang has come to the door, The old lady made the decision and decided to officially marry after the second grandson Li Chang finished the Enke examination.

Mrs. Liang reluctantly accepted the arrangement and went back.The old lady immediately ordered An's to prepare the dowry, renovate the new house, purchase all kinds of wedding supplies, and choose the manpower to serve the new wife.An shi held her breath and complied, and returned to the yard, where Lord Hou came over again and said that there must be no mistakes in the wedding, everything must be careful and careful, there are many people watching outside, and the overall situation must not be ruined by a moment of anger and so on.An's only felt full of grievances, but she couldn't vent it to her husband, so she could only drop a blue and white cup after he left.

The next day, Li Chang had to move out of his own yard because the house was going to be refurbished. For the convenience of reading, he had to arrange a small room next to the outer study to live in.

After he returned to the mansion this time, he restrained himself a lot, and he didn't make fun of the maids. He was very polite to the agates, pomegranates and others who were sent to serve him, but he completely ignored the maids and bookboys who were used to him in the past.Two of them had asked someone to send a letter to him, saying that the current situation was very miserable, and begging him to save him, but he also burned the letter, pretending that he didn't know anything and devoted himself to studying the sub-collections of classics and history.

In the past few years, he finally understands a truth, a person's fame is nothing, unless he is successful in the officialdom, otherwise he will not be able to suppress An Shi and her son-in-law for the rest of his life!

During his years in the village, he complained about himself and wasted his time. He could only try his best to recover his homework in the last little time before the exam.He thinks that he is already very smart, and this little thing is nothing to worry about.

Of course, while studying hard, he did not forget to make his grandmother happy, which is the foundation of his life at home.Every morning and evening is indispensable, and after he greets his grandmother, he still has to chat with his grandmother, chatting and joking to please her, sometimes meeting his younger sister and two cousins ​​who come to greet him, he knows Grandma loves her cousins ​​so much, she doesn't hesitate to praise them.

In fact, in terms of selfishness, he felt that the cousin of the Huo family was too put on airs and didn't care about others, and seemed to look down on him, which made him very annoyed. Which brat would be lucky enough to have her?It's really the ancestors who burned high incense!Although the wife I am about to marry is also a beauty, but her temperament is not so pleasing, maybe because she has read too many books, she thinks she is a talented woman, and her temperament has become sharp. Women should be more honest and submissive...

Li Chang was only thinking wildly, but he didn't notice that his gaze stayed on Fan Xiru for too long. Fan Xiru always acted carefree, so he couldn't help but blush.The old lady was a little displeased, this grandson has only behaved for a few days, why is he making old mistakes again?They are all about to get married, but they still want to provoke girls from relatives. This is not a family that can be dismissed casually!

The old lady stopped smiling and coughed twice before waking Li Chang up.He was startled to realize that he had just been rude, and the scene was a bit awkward, so he hurriedly said haha, chatted a few more words, then excused himself to go back to the study and retreated.

Fan Xiru blushed, but still pretended to be okay, and didn't mention it at all. The old lady loved her even more, and that night she gave her a set of gold thread-studded jewels, saying it was "the jewelry she used when she was young", I don't wear it now, I give it to the younger generation.

Perhaps Li Chang wanted to make up for this mistake by spending more time with his grandmother for the next two days. If he met his cousins, he bowed his head and avoided them very politely.The old lady slowly calmed down, and became fond of him again. She also personally asked about the renovation of Yingyue Hall, and gave him a few treasures from the bottom of the box as decorations for his new house.Rumors arose in the Hou's mansion, saying that the second young master had gained power again.

Huo Yi watched coldly all the way, and from the next day, he cut down the time spent in the old lady's room, and tried to avoid the time when Li Chang went there, and privately restrained the maid who served her, not to stay in the house if there was nothing to do. Drop in everywhere, especially stay away from that second cousin.

Chunying has been by her side all the time, how could she not know the reason for her order?Naturally, this order is strictly followed.She still remembered that there was a public case between the second young master and herself. Although she didn't know if the other party knew about it, she was also one of the witnesses and informers back then, but it was better to avoid it as far as possible.This time, firstly, he has grown up and changed his master, so he may not be able to recognize him, and secondly, he didn't pay attention to the girls at all, so he let her avoid it, but it may not be so good in the future luck.

Chunying stayed in the small courtyard very honestly. Apart from finishing her work every day, she taught Xiao Lianhua how to cook, or made clothes, shoes and socks for her family.Since the second young master lived in the outer study, she didn't even dare to ask for the job of looking for books, and she gritted her teeth and gave up the chance to see Zhou Nian, so she had to find a way to ask for leave and go home.

But hiding like this is not the way to go. Seeing the second young master win back the old lady's favor little by little, Chunying panicked, thinking left and right, and discussed with Shang Shi'er: "Do you think we should remind her?" The third young master said? He has been following Lord Hou recently, busy with something, the old lady, except for saying hello in the morning and evening, he has not spent much time with the old lady. If the second young master gets up again, won't the third young master be in bad luck? "

Shi'er was also a little worried when he heard the words: "Yes, others always say that the second young master has learned well, but I think he won't get better! Now he must be plotting some kind of trick secretly!" For girls from Huanhuaxuan Said, the shadow of the second young master is too great, but he was killed in the past...

Ten'er thought for a while, then said: "Okay! I'll go talk to Xia He right now, and try to remind the third young master!" As soon as he got up, he was discouraged again: "No... the third young master has been leaving early and returning late these days. When I went there a while ago, Xia He complained to me. By this time, he is definitely not here! That girl Xia He is also an idiot, she can't understand anything, I was just running in vain..."

After hearing this, Chun Ying felt a little worried: "Where is Yanzhi? Isn't Yanzhi promoted now?"

"She never sees us. Who doesn't know she's a lady?"

"Then... Dong'er... Rong'er... By the way, Wisteria!"

Shi'er shook his head: "These are all unreliable, Wisteria is okay, but she doesn't like to get close to the third young master, and she will never help spread the word." As he spoke, he said harshly: "It's all Manru! A few years ago She took control of Huanhuaxuan and drove away those who disobeyed her. Luer married again, and few people in that yard can trust her now! Reliable!"

Chunying thought of the maid who would occasionally give fruit and snacks to curry favor with Huo Yi, and pondered: "If you really can't find anyone, just find Yanzhi! She has nothing else to rely on except the third young master. If you can't believe it, the third The young master will not specifically ask her to come back to serve him, besides, it is more convenient for someone who is close to serve her to say such things. Now you are the person next to Miss Biao, no matter how arrogant she is, she will not dare to be rude to you. "

Ten'er thought for a while, then nodded solemnly: "Okay! I'll go right after dinner! If I'm lucky, I might meet the third young master and come back to take a nap!" After a pause, he smiled wryly: "But I think... The third young master probably knows about this matter, right? No matter how busy he is, someone will always tell him..."

Chunying lowered her head and said slowly: "If we remind him, he will remember our relationship. He has been transferred for a few years, and Miss Biao has another matter... There is no harm in asking the third young master to remember us."

The two looked at each other, their hearts clear.

As soon as the door opened, Nan Qi walked in, and was a little surprised when he saw this: "I thought there was no one in the room, what are you talking about here?"

Ten'er went to embroider at the end of the bed in silence, and Chunying hurriedly asked, "Sister Nanqi, but miss is going to pass the meal? Where can I use it for lunch today?"

Nan Qi smiled: "How would I know? It's still far away from dinner time." She raised her eyes to look at Shi'er, her expression was a little gloomy, and she forced a smile and said to Chunying: "Just now I heard Chrysanthemum in the upper room. The son said, Miss has already granted you leave, and told you to go back after dinner, but the mansion is busy with things and there is not enough manpower, and several people in the courtyard have gone, so you have to come back before dinner."

Chunying agreed in surprise, turned her head to look at Shi'er, the other party gave her a wink, she understood in her heart, Zheng nodded, and then went to thank Huo Yi.

Nan Qi looked at his cousin who turned his face away again, hesitated to speak, and finally sighed quietly, and left.

After eating in a hurry, Chunying packed two or three things and went home lightly.Due to the lack of manpower in the mansion, she couldn't even gather the girls and women who would accompany her home, so she hurriedly said that her house was close and was in a back street, so she didn't need anyone to follow her, so she walked back along the mansion wall.

Before entering the door, she heard laughter and laughter in the house, which was mixed with children's voices. She was overjoyed, and hurriedly opened the door to go in. Sure enough, she saw her sister Qiuyu holding her son and talking to her younger brother in front of the door.She called out: "Sister! You're back?" After entering the door, even the second uncle and brother-in-law were there. The whole family gathered together, discussing something.

"Chun'er is back?" Second Uncle Lu looked her up and down, and said cheerfully, "It's getting more and more fresh. When I was young, I looked ugly, but now I'm a big girl!"

Chunying was very angry and funny, and after seeing the ceremony with everyone, she sat down with the second uncle: "The second uncle's mouth is getting more and more annoying! Drink some tea and clear your mouth, so that I can get an aunt to come back as soon as possible!"

As soon as she said this, everyone laughed together, and Mother Lu pushed her: "Is it possible that you learned fortune-telling from someone? How can you be so accurate?"

Chunying was stunned: "No way? I really want an aunt?!" She held the second uncle in surprise, "Which family is it from? Do I know him?"

Second Uncle Lu just smiled and didn't speak. Qiuyu walked over with a smile and said, "We all recognize him. It's the person next to Eldest Young Madam. Have you seen it? It's that Lime."

"Huh?!" Chunying stood up abruptly.

Qing Ning...seems to be only eighteen or nineteen years old...Second Uncle, he's already in his thirties...

Chun Ying felt tangled...
