Concubine Raiders Chapter 53: Night Talk
Chapter 53 Night Talk (Pink Ticket)
Xu Lingyi raised her eyes. Without anger and prestige, Mrs. Tai was silent for a while.
"As for going to Jiang's house to ask for marriage," he sat down slowly, and said in a deep thought, "I also ask my mother to consider it."
Mrs. Tai recovered. She sighed softly and smiled bitterly: "I know you are unhappy. But I also have my intentions. Yuanniang looked excited at the time, and you were not letting go. The room was full of distinguished guests. If I didn't agree, who would know What's wrong! Besides, the Jiang family is full of noble families, and two emperor teachers once came out, and they are deeply respected by the world. I'm afraid they may not want to have a relationship with our family. I thought about it, even if I ask, Jiang family Whether to agree or not is still unknown? It's better to respond temporarily and make plans later." After speaking, he sighed, "Jiang's family is innocent, and there is awe-inspiring style. Speaking of which, Yuanniang is still very discerning. Moreover, Back then, your father said. Marry a wife and marry a virtuous person. Most of the women from this generation of scholarly families are smart, elegant and capable of self-cultivation. Therefore, regardless of the ridicule of others, they came three times to ask your second brother to marry your sister-in-law." The corners of the wife’s eyes were slightly wet, the son who died of illness, "You can see it too. Your second sister-in-law has just responded to what your father said-when presiding over the middle of the gift, he was kind and generous; after your second brother passed away, he was able to stick to it. It's all because of Xiang's daughter who is a good tutor. I don't know how happy I am if Brother Qian married Jiang's daughter!"
Xu Lingyi's expression eased a lot when her mother mentioned her brother who had passed away. He said frankly: "My mother is afraid that this will offend the emperor!"
"Yes." There was a serious expression in the lady's expression, "The emperor and the empress are still married, and the empress has given birth to three sons; you first flatten the Miao man, then conquer northern Xinjiang, and stand for danger. The power of supporting the Qing; our home is just like the flower chopsticks and the raging fire cooking oil. How can I not be afraid! I am afraid that the emperor will be uneasy, afraid that people with intentions will make irresponsible remarks in front of the emperor. Empress..." As she said, she stared at her son with scorching eyes, "We can't make a step right now. Just wait..." Then, she pointed to the sky, "It's the day of the first day!"
"Mother. The full moon will be lacking, and the water will overflow." Xu Lingyi's expression was faint, "This world's things are never going to end. You can't give up eating because of choking, and just do nothing for fear of being remembered. !"
The lady was slightly startled: "You mean..."
Xu Lingyi nodded: "I disagree with the Jiang family, not because I am afraid that the emperor may be suspicious, nor that the Jiang family will not agree. Since I have taken the burden of revitalizing the family business, if I even give it to my son I can’t choose a daughter-in-law who is knowledgeable and respectful. What else to talk about? Why not go to Miaoman and Beijiang to compete with others?" His brows frowned slightly, "I mainly think that Brother Chen is too young. At this time, we can only choose a person of the same age to discuss marriage. The child is too young to be indeterminate. It looks good now, it may not be good if it is older. There are many such examples."
Mrs. Tai nodded slightly.
"But if I find someone much older than Brother Jian, I'm afraid that they will not get along with the piano in the future." Xu Lingyi has a slight worry between his eyebrows, "I wanted to wait for Brother Jian to be older, and then help him take a closer look... …He is a son, and the future daughter-in-law will preside over the mid-term contribution, set an example for the whole family, and can’t be sloppy!"
The wife kept nodding her head: "You are worrying very much. It's just Yuanniang's side...We can stay, I'm afraid she can't wait." After speaking, there was a bit of helplessness in her tone, "Not to mention her Always clever and smart, now that when the lamp is dead, I don’t arrange a lot of things properly, I’m afraid I will not be at ease."
Xu Lingyi made no sound and dropped his eyelids. I picked up the lid of the tea cup and flicked the floating leaves in the tea cup: "So please consider this matter."
"You mean..." Madam Tai was a little confused.
"When I came out of the small courtyard, I asked someone to inquire about Jiang's family." Xu Lingyi sipped a sip of tea. "Among the Jiang brothers, Jiang Bai, Jiang Song, and Jiang Gui are the sons. Among them, Jiang Bai holds a bachelor's degree in the Hanlin Academy. He has three sons and two daughters, of which the eldest son and second daughter are direct descendants; Jiang Song returned to Le'an to open a college called'Jin Xi', with one son and one daughter, both direct descendants; Jiang Gui served in Taiyuan The prefect has two sons and two daughters, of which the eldest son and the eldest daughter are direct descendants. Jiang Bai’s second daughter is two years old this year, Jiang Song’s eldest daughter is four years old this year, and Jiang Gui’s eldest daughter is twelve years old this year. I want to marry brother Qian Jiang Song's eldest daughter!"
Mrs. Tai pondered: "The children are small and indefinite, but who raises them like others. Then Jiang Bai's ups and downs in the official career, his children will inevitably get some wealthy habits. And Jiang Song is teaching and educating in the countryside, and his children may be too. It’s a little bit steep...the noble family like us, who stands on the cusp of the storm, prefers that she is lonely and proud of herself, rather than her long-sleeved, good-looking dance wooing her husband to fight for fame and fortune..."
"That's what I planned." Xu Lingyi's eyes flickered, and a blade-like cold light flickered from the bottom of his eyes. "I'm afraid Yuanniang didn't think so. Besides, she did everything to strive for the best. I like to keep my hand. This is no exception. I asked Ma Zuowen from the Pedestrian Division to talk to Jiang Bai for me before I came. If Jiang Bai has a broad vision, he naturally knows that the so-called prince must be pricy before he can be cleaned. The emperor is the old calendar decades ago. If their family wants to continue to be so prominent, they have to find another way out. If he doesn't even have this vision, the Jiang family will not be far away from the day of decline. ."
"It's still thoughtful and thoughtful." Madam Tai smiled. "Jiang Song has no officials and no titles, but Jiang Bai is a bachelor of the academy, and a cabinet candidate. It is better to be married to Jiang Song than to be married to Jiang Bai. Moreover, if something happens, our two families are always The in-laws should help each other. Even if the emperor knows, he will only think that we are tolerant and humble."
"So this matter is clearly to be caused by Yuanniang. Let everyone know why our family wants to marry the Jiang family." Xu Lingyi nodded, "Secretly, but you still want you to go out in person. To avoid being self-defeating, Become in-laws with that Jiang Bai."
"I know it's great." The lady chin slightly, glanced at her son, hesitated for a moment, and said: "There is one more thing. When I went to the palace to visit the empress on the second day of February, I met the imperial concubine. She asked about Yuanniang’s illness. She said half-jokingly and half-seriously that she has a younger sister who looks beautiful and beautiful. If you hadn’t already had a wife, it wouldn’t be a shame to be worthy of you..."
Xu Lingyi laughed: "In that case. Just leave Qiao's affairs alone-lest you be embarrassed!"
The wife didn’t feel surprised to see her son, she wondered: "What have you heard?"
Xu Lingyi's smile gradually became smaller, and he answered the question in a different way: "It's okay to let Yuanniang beat and beat, so as not to cause such troubles later!" After speaking, he got up and said, "It's getting late, and you are tired of the day. Let’s rest early. I guess there should be a letter from Ma Zuowen early tomorrow morning. If you haven’t answered the letter, then don’t mention the marriage with the Jiang family again-the reaction is so slow, so you won’t be burdened by his family!”
Too many births today, Madam Tai is indeed tired. Called Wei Zi to send Xu Lingyi.
Wei Zi brought two little maids and octagonal glass lamps. Send Xu Lingyi out of the yard.
Xu Lingyi’s personal servants Linbo and Zhaoying had brought two escorts in Tsing Yi hats and waited in front of the door. Seeing Xu Lingyi, the two escorts rushed forward and picked up the little servants’ hands. Lamp, Linbo stepped forward at the same time and smiled and arched his hands to Wei Zi: "Sister hard work!"
Wei Zifu: "Don't dare." He saluted Xu Lingyi again, and took the little maid back to close the courtyard.
Xu Lingyi stood at the gate of the courtyard and looked up at the stars, silent for a while.
Linbo exchanged glances with Zhaoying, and both saw anxiety in the other's eyes.
"Let's go!" After a while, Xu Lingyi lifted his foot to the flower hall behind the wife's house.
The two dared not hesitate, Linbo led the two young servants with lanterns in front, while Zhao Ying served on the side.
Halfway, Xu Lingyi suddenly said: "Did you ask clearly?"
"I've asked you clearly." Linbo said hurriedly, "Because the madam missed Yanhong to call him for questioning, he saw you resting again, so he followed."
Xu Lingyi looked as usual and said: "What did the lady ask him?"
"I said he was called, but his wife was not there." Linbo whispered, "Yanhong asked him to wait there, he didn't dare to leave. That's why..."
"Leave him to Manager Bai!" Xu Lingyi whispered, "Let Manager Bai be more clever."
Linbo replied respectfully, and followed Xu Lingyi through the flower hall and onto the road between things.
"Master Hou!" After hesitating for a while, he whispered, "I'm afraid that the key has already been lost in the back garden at this time."
Xu Lingyi was startled, stopped, stood in front of the flower window wall for a while, and said softly: "Then go to Aunt Qin!"
Linbo responded and served Xu Lingyi to Aunt Qin.
Knocked the door, but Aunt Wen's personal servant Yuer was the one who answered the door.
"Master Hou!" She opened her eyes, "Why are you here?" She was shocked and said in a hurry, "No, I mean, I thought you would rest in the courtyard, so Aunt Wen came to meet Aunt Qin is a companion..." As she said, she hurriedly stepped sideways and said, "Hou Ye is here."
The small courtyard was awakened immediately, and they all wore clothes or lighted lights in a panic. Or step forward to please Xu Lingyi.
Xu Lingyi looked at this situation, and before Aunt Qin and Aunt Wen came out, he threw a sentence "Let the two aunts rest well", and turned to the wife.
The wife just stopped, and heard that her son had folded back, and got up quickly: "What happened?"
"It's okay!" Xu Lingyi said, "I'll go to your warm pavilion for a night!"
The lady took a look at her son~IndoMTL.com~ without asking anything, she ordered the maids to unpack the box and take out the used bedding that was put away two days ago and put them out for him.
In the early morning of the next morning, it rained on the patter, and it fell on the young leaves that had just emerged, and it was fresher than usual.
Eleven Niang opened the box and let Shi Niang choose clothes and accessories.
Bin Ju's face is not worried, and Dongqing muttered at the door: "Why don't you let her pick the fifth lady's things, just look at our lady's temper."
"Don't say a few words!" Holly whispered, "The big lady's fire hasn't been quenched yet? You were careful to get up and burn our young lady."
Bin Ju can't help but mutter: "Am I just telling you?"
Before she finished her words, someone behind her said: "Is Miss Eleven here? The eldest lady invited her over."
The two looked back and saw Luo Qiao smiling standing behind them.
