Sweet Beauty Chapter 52: grind a mill

Mrs. Bai San Wei Wei Shi saw that the old lady was just staring at her silently, and she was also a little worried.

But these words today, if the second uncle is the mother and son of the old lady, the old lady will not react in this way. She bet, in fact, it is based on the old lady's attitude towards the second room over the years, and the cold-blooded affection towards Chen's mother and daughter, I bet whether my private guess is true or not, and I bet that the second uncle is not the mother and son of the old lady at all, and Jing Shu is not the granddaughter of the old lady!

The old lady's heart for the second room is far more than the mother and son of the second uncle!

Wei Shi gritted his teeth again, squeezed a few tears, knelt down and said: "Mother, daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law is indeed a bit selfish to say this, you know that our brother Shan can't study, our third master he I have also been begging the second uncle to find an errand for Brother Shan, but the second uncle always refuses, and now Brother Shan has nothing to do at home all day, which makes my daughter-in-law really worried."

"You know, my father used to have a little face with the Lord Zhongnan, but now the Zhenfu, the commander of Jingwei, is my father's former colleague. , said that I could arrange a civilian post for my nephew in Jingwei, but my nephew was obsessed with Sister Shu, my brother said that if we tell my nephew about Sister Shu, we will give that position to Shan. Brother..."

The Marquis of Zhongnan is an old minister when His Majesty was the second son of King Nanping. He has followed the current southern and northern wars for many years and has won the favor of the emperor. Back then, Wei Shi's father was a subordinate of Zhongnan Marquis. Wei Shi's words are not without credibility. Degree...

It would not be a bad idea to sacrifice Sister Shu for the sake of her grandson, and although Wei Shi's previous remarks were all selfish and provocative, even if Mrs. Bai was not an ignorant old woman, those words were like thorns Yes, it pierced into her heart, very deeply.

Old Mrs. Bai finally closed her eyes tiredly, and after a while, she said, "That nephew of your mother's family is the one who ranks third? If you don't have words, you can't do it. Can your second uncle like him? I remember that you asked the third child to mention it to the second child earlier, and it made the second child lose his temper, right?"

Weiss was overjoyed when she heard this. She could hear the old lady's tone and tone, and it was obvious that she had let go!

Weiss said hurriedly: "Mother, you are Sister Shu's grandmother. As long as you agree on the marriage, how can you get a child's refutation? As long as you hire a matchmaker and the two families exchange Geng posts, the marriage will be counted. Yes, it is decided, and the second uncle has no reason to disobey you."

Wei Shi saw Madam Bai's closed eyes rolling, gritted her teeth, and said in a low voice with some caution: "Also, mother, because of your body these days and again, daughter-in-law thinks This is all because of sister Shu's confrontation, so I took the courage to take sister Shu's birth date and my nephew's horoscope to Jiang'an Temple to find Master Jiang Yuan, who matched the horoscope for them, and specifically asked if The impact of these two getting married on your mother..."

"Master Jiang Yuan said that Sister Shu and my nephew's horoscopes are not the best match, they can only be regarded as acceptable, and that my nephew's life is heavy and will suppress Sister Shu's luck. But Master Jiang Yuan said that this matter is of great benefit to your mother, because my nephew will not only suppress Sister Shu's luck and luck, but also suppress her ill-will, so It can resolve her unfavorable anger towards you and benefit your longevity..."

Old Madam Bai suddenly opened her eyes and stared at Wei Wei, Wei Wei was shocked, and a thin cold sweat broke out on her forehead, but her face was terrified and serious.

Jiang'an Temple is a new temple after the establishment of the new dynasty. The masters in the temple were originally from Jiangnan who migrated to Beijing to escape the war. Due to the reasons of fellow villagers, Mrs. Bai would like to go to this temple instead of burning incense and worshipping Buddha. Other temples in the capital where the incense is strong or the noble officials like to go.

This Master Jiang Yuan is also familiar with Mrs. Bai, so although what Weiss said just now is a bit bizarre and ridiculous, Mrs. Bai believed it by a few percent when she heard that it was Mr. Jiang Yuan.

Next, Weiss does not directly say that Jing Shu and his nephew are very compatible and can resolve Jing Shu's conflict with her, but that his nephew will restrain Jing Shu's luck and luck. But it made Mrs. Bai believe a few percent more.

Wei Shi was stared at by Mrs. Bai, but at this time, her eyes slowly turned red, and she choked with tears: "Mother, this matter, my daughter-in-law also feels a little bit unworthy of Sister Shu, but the Bai family raises Shu. Sister-in-law for so many years, but she is so tired that her mother's health is getting worse every day...Daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law really can't bear it..."

"Now there is a way to relieve her hostility and eliminate her conflict with you. This is what she should share as a granddaughter. And my nephew has a deep love for her and can marry my nephew In the future, it will be a good thing to have a smooth husband and wife and beauty."

Added, "If our sister Yan, for the sake of your mother's health, longevity, and well-being, let her die, presumably she would be willing, no matter how painful our daughter-in-law and our third master are, they will not hesitate. "

"The second uncle has always been filial. For the sake of his mother, he must have no objection. Otherwise, he is not filial. Our Bai family has a long history of filial piety, and filial piety is the foundation. Regardless of your mother's life, how can you be a descendant of the Bai family..."

Old Madam Bai's hands like chicken feet clung to the quilt with some convulsions, her heart kept rolling and struggling, and the familiar chest tightness and headaches hit again, and beads of sweat rolled down on her forehead , described as terrible.

Wei Shi was also startled when he saw this. He hurriedly stepped forward to massage the old lady's breast and pressed his temples, and said repeatedly: "Mother, mother, please calm down, don't be angry, this matter, daughter-in-law. It's all for the sake of the mother's body, but as a child, everything is up to the mother, whatever you say is what you say, but don't be angry..."

After such a good tossing, Mrs. Bai finally calmed down.

Old Mrs. Bai gasped and said, "I know about this matter, I have my own calculations, you go down first, don't make things happen by yourself!"

Wechsler was overjoyed when he heard the words, and hurriedly responded to Shengnuo and withdrew with trepidation.

Old lady Bai and Wei Shi thought they were talking in the old lady's bedroom, and there was no one serving at the time. The old lady's confidant and maid were also sent out to guard outside, so these words Of course it won't spread.

But Mrs. Bai is not a good master, and naturally she will not be surrounded by an iron bucket.

Since Jing Shu is wary of Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Bai, it is impossible to live in Zhuangzi unprepared. She thinks that Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Bai will not count or count themselves.

So she had already studied the people around Mrs. Bai, seized the handle and offered benefits, and bribed Miaohong, a close maid next to Mrs. Bai. At least 80% of the conversation is heard.

Miaohong passed the matter to Jingshu one by one.

Because of the previous life, because of Lan Ma's plan to make her infertile, Jing Shu had no expectations for the people of the Bai Mansion, and she would not be a little surprised if they did anything to deceive her. It's just that the naked-naked-naked conspiracy has to add a layer of hypocrisy or a cloak in the name of filial piety to disgust for a while.

Jing Shu thought about it carefully and then consulted Jiang Yu's opinion, and then passed the conversation between the two to the second master Bai through the second master Bai's personal servant.

Master Bai's face turned blue after hearing this.

If it was before, he was proud of being the son of the Bai family, proud of the reputation of the Bai family's scholarly family for hundreds of years, always satisfied with the strictness of his father and mother, kindness and filial piety to his son, and a harmonious family of brothers, friends and brothers. When he was proud to continue the reputation of the Bai family, he would definitely be very, very displeased when he heard this kind of **** from the servants, and he directly held the servants to blame. The younger brother and sister are dissatisfied, and feel that the daughter of the butcher in the market can't marry.

But he still believes in his mother, and believes that she will scold the three younger siblings, and he will not listen to such absurd remarks and arbitrarily set up his daughter's marriage.

Nowadays, because of his mother's disgust and rejection of his daughter, because his wife was pregnant, he could not return to Beijing, and he neglected to continue all kinds of "filial piety", which caused his mother to be displeased with all kinds of black faces these days. , and vaguely heard about the deductions and poor treatment that the eldest daughter and granddaughter received at home in the past, and the fact that the eldest daughter was almost assigned to the third sibling Wei's family...

This is bit by bit. When I don't start to doubt everything, everything is covered by a beautiful outer veil, but once I start to doubt everything, everything will come out, and the coldness of thinking is really seeping from the bones out...

Now that he heard these words from his confidant, he thought that his little daughter, who had been pampered and raised by his wife and had always been well-behaved, filial, and pure, had been driven to Zhuangzi to worship Buddha. Terrible calculation!

Thinking of her mother calling her little daughter a "demon" in her dreams, what is the attitude a grandmother should have towards her granddaughter? Where can there be a little bit of grandchildren love?

Thinking of how her little daughter was aggrieved with tears in her eyes, but she endured it, Mr. Bai's heart was really distressed and guilty.

Therefore, at this moment, Master Bai has an endless chill and uncontrollable anger towards not only his third younger sibling, Wei Shi, but also towards his mother, Mrs. Bai, especially when he has begun to doubt his own background.

After all, Mr. Bai has served as a local official for many years. Since he has become suspicious and has become estranged with Mrs. Bai, he no longer feels that everything does not matter as he used to, as long as he follows his mother's will and fulfills the reputation of mother's kindness and filial piety That's it.

Now, it's a different look when it really works.

Master Bai calmed down, and immediately sent someone to investigate the matter of Wei's family, and what Wei Shi said that his daughter and her prodigal nephew "have the same characters. What the **** is going on here...

The Wei family wanted to cover up the matter of Mr. Wei, but this matter could not be investigated. What's more, the Wei family, in order to reduce expenses, even started to sell some used items. Servant, in a few days, not to mention that Mr. Wei lost tens of thousands of taels of money in printing and gambling, that is, the content of the conversation between Mrs. Wei and Mrs. Wei, Mrs. After checking the records, they handed it over to Master Bai Er.

The confidant said: "Master, the conversation between Mrs. Wei and the third lady did not avoid the servants, except that the old lady of the Wei family told Changqing the content of the conversation that day. We also found I met a little maid who was serving outside at that time. She also heard the conversation at the time, and she said eight to nine to ten. The maid was sold by the Wei family and is now in our hands. If the master wants to meet , may be summoned to meet you."

"After the third lady came back from Wei's house, she went to Jiang'an Temple in Qingting Mountain again, and met the master Jiang Yuan in the temple. According to the little inquiry, the third lady gave a rare sum of money that day to donate money. sesame oil money..."

With a "bang", the inkstone on Bai Er's table was swept to the ground by him, splashing ink all over the floor.

Master Bai always pays attention to elegance and demeanor, and rarely loses his temper like this, let alone throwing things, but at this time, he is really angry, and he feels that the turmoil in his heart has nowhere to vent.

*******

Jiang Yu has been living in Jingshu's Zhuangzi, and accompanied Jingshu after the seventh day of the seventh day of the seventh lunar month before 'bringing' other generals and teams who officially entered Beijing back to Beijing.

Therefore, on the seventh day of the seventh month of the seventh month of the year this year, Jingshu did not respond to her sister Bai Jingyu's invitation as she did in her previous life, and went out to play with Bai Jingyu and her cousins. Due to the plot of her cousins ​​in the Wei family, she then "accidentally met" Ling Xiu'an, the prince of Ling Guogong...

So Jingshu didn't know about this year's Girl's Day. Although Ling Xiu'an was involved with Rong Weijia, after a long period of depression and self-psychological construction, she still felt that she really liked Bai Jingshu. I can't give up my true intentions because of Rong Weijia's selfish calculations, so I still plan to pursue Bai Jingshu and marry her according to my own intentions...

As for Rong Weijia, Ling Xiu'an felt that her identity was inherently shameful. If she would have been raised outside at that time, she would wait for the right time to see if she could be accepted as a second room. Because she was born a bit like Jing Shu, outsiders would also As long as he likes this type, he won't go too deep into a concubine.

At most, in order to appease the mother, in the future, she will take her child to Jing Shu as her son-in-law and daughter-in-law.

This is also what Weijia "begged" for herself, she couldn't blame him for being cruel.

Therefore, Ling Xiu'an still had a good design on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month. He hoped that he could "ran into" Jingshu again. I haven't waited for my sweetheart in the afternoon and evening...

On the other hand, Rong Weijia still didn't know that the matter between him and Ling Xiu'an was because of drugs, and that Ling Xiu'an had doubts and prejudices against her, so he just thought that it was Ling Xiu'an who couldn't resist his own charm. , I can't help it, that's what happened. When she was learning those secret arts, the maids had told her since she was a child that most men could not stand the temptation, especially the temptation of the best...

So she is full of expectations for this daughter's festival. She thought that Ling Xiu'an would invite her or come to find her, take her out for fun, and show her something.

So Rong Weijia began to wait a few days ago, until the person sent to inquire about the news in the morning of the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, the terrified Dao Shizi had gone out this morning...

So Rong Weijia went to find Ling Xiu'an like a ghost, looked at him from a distance, followed him for a whole afternoon and a night, watching him with the lotus lamp in disbelief, not knowing who he was looking for, waiting Who only sees Rong Weijia from sadness and disappointment to anger and humiliation to numbness, really bites a silver tooth, and can only swallow tears and blood in his stomach.

Let's say that Jiang Yu first went to the palace to thank him when he returned to Beijing.

Although the old emperor Jing Yuan had already received good news and knew that the war in Xining had stabilized, he was still very happy to see Jiang Yu's triumphant return. He rewarded him with a lot of things, and told him that he would announce the ban in the early morning the next day. He has the title of a general of the town, and at the same time let him serve in the Ministry of War, as the left servant of the Ministry of War of the third grade.

Of course, what Emperor Jing Yuan did the next day really caused the court to speculate again and again and became very uneasy. This, this is really unreasonable!

It is normal to have a military meritorious title and the title of General Zhenguo, but can a prince of a vassal go to the Ministry of War to be the left servant of the Ministry of War? !

It's just that Emperor Jing Yuan quickly ordered Jiang Jue, the fifth son of King Kang, to go to the Ministry of Industry, and Jiang Lian, the second son of the King of Fujian, to go to the Ministry of Rites. Although they were both of the five highest-ranking positions, they were not like Jiang Jue. He has run errands many times, and has practiced in the army for several years. He has directly commanded the army and made military achievements, so the situation is different and cannot be directly compared.

To allow the prince of the vassal to directly enter the six-part experience, at least to show that His Majesty has not really made up his mind on who to choose his heir? ...

No matter how the court reacted the next day, and no matter what rewards Emperor Jing Yuan had, one of the main things Jiang Yu saw when he saw Emperor Jing Yuan was that he told Emperor Jing Yuan that he wanted to marry Jing Shu as his wife.

Then they reported Jing Shu's family background and the true identity of the second master Bai, and handed over a detailed investigation report on the life of the second master Bai Zhongqian.

Naturally he also told Jing Yuan Emperor Bai Er, but he still doesn't know his background.

Emperor Jing Yuan turned over the meticulous information about Mr. Bai Er handed over by his nephew Jiang Yu. While he was satisfied with Jiang Yu's stable and comprehensive temperament, he was very satisfied with the news that it was not unexpected. Some speechless.

Because Jiang Yu had said when Emperor Jing Yuan and Empress Dowager Zhuang discussed his marriage a few years ago that he already had someone he liked, and when things stabilized, he would tell them and ask them to marry him.

Empress Dowager Zhuang and Emperor Jing Yuan heard that the girl was also Jiang Yu's mother, Princess Xia, the Princess of Shu. Both Empress Dowager Zhuang and Emperor Jing Yuan were both Xia's aunt and first cousin. Xia Shi grew up and knew that she had a smart and stable temperament, so naturally she did not have much doubts.

I just didn't expect it to be such an identity.

But Emperor Jing Yuan had a good impression of the former Rong family, and he didn't care too much about the life experience of the second master Bai, but since it was a marriage gift, the gift should not be a fake identity, he thought, but still Another thought arises...

However, although Emperor Jing Yuan almost acquiesced to this matter, he did not directly confer the marriage. He only said to Jiang Yu: "I have already asked the Ministry of Rites to start the draft. Presumably, the Ministry of Rites has already received the list from each family, and the Bai family should also The name of this fifth Miss Bai has already been handed over, you can confirm it again. In this way, when the time comes, it is better to let your imperial grandmother check and give you marriages justifiably, rather than let others speculate."

"As for the identity of Bai Zhongqian, the eldest son of the Bai family, I will find the right time to call Bai Zhongqian to talk to him, see his reaction, identity matters, don't tell him beforehand, lest he have any ready.”

Jiang Yu knows the character of his uncle, so it's not surprising to hear him say this. He doesn't care so much about the details of the second master Bai. As long as the emperor agrees to his marriage, there will be no mistakes in the big picture. Then I took my thanks and went down to see the Queen Mother Zhuang, the grandmother of the emperor.

As for Mr. Bai Er, whether his future father-in-law will be frightened and psychologically tortured by the emperor, he can't control that much. He even feels that his father-in-law's temperament really lacks someone to grind him. ...

Jiang Yu went to the harem to meet his grandmother, the Empress Dowager Zhuang. Speaking of this palace, these days were also quite uneven due to draft matters.

One is naturally that everyone has vaguely known that His Majesty intends to choose a son among the princes to inherit the heir, so wouldn't the marriage of these princes stir the hearts of various families who are staring at the future successor?

But if the marriage comes first, and the heir comes after, the daughter who has been meticulously nurtured by the big family can afford the post.

The second is that people who are familiar with this majesty know that this majesty has always been unpredictable, false and true, true and false, but he is arbitrary and strong, and he is not at the mercy of others.

He revealed a hint of intention to choose a prince of a domain to inherit his heir, and then immediately ordered people to start the draft, disrupting the peace of the harem and the court, but he might also be selected among these beautiful girls. The last few filled the harem.

Speaking of which, Emperor Jing Yuan has not drafted a new person into the palace for many years. In fact, His Majesty is only about fifty years old, and the possibility of rebirth as a prince is still very high, so the fundamental possibility of selecting a prince to succeed him is What he released...

So in addition to worrying about the adoption of the prince and the marriage, the concubines and concubines in the harem are also vaguely worried about what will happen if the new prince is born. This needs to be carefully arranged...

Emperor Jing Yuan told Jiang Yu, "The Ministry of Rites must have received the list from each family." This is an understatement. In fact, the list and portraits of the first batch of ladies have already been distributed to Empress Zhuang, Empress Hua and To the imperial concubine's palace.

At this time, Empress Dowager Zhuang was in her bedroom, Cishou Palace, looking at the list and the portraits of the ladies from the Ministry of Rites, while listening to Queen Hua and Concubine Xiang adding to her about the family backgrounds of these ladies. background character or something.
