Chapter 289: Confrontation

Eleven Niang remained silent, which made Xu Lingyi very bored.

He smiled mockingly to himself, lost interest in talking, and lowered his head to drink tea.

The Marquis found a room where a soft low snoring sound suddenly sounded.

Xu Lingyi was startled. He looked up and looked over. His wife sitting opposite her had her head lowered and her eyes were fixed on the embroidery in her hands without blinking. If he hadn't seen the corners of her mouth slightly raised, he would have thought it was his auditory hallucination.

After not talking to him for a few days, he suddenly spoke. Did his words make Eleven Niang curious or Eleven Niang's anger has dissipated? No matter which case it is, it is an opportunity to break the ice between them. Xu Lingyi

Of course I won't let it go.

There was a touch of joy between his brows.

The women that the Ou family openly recommended to the Ministry of Rites were all known for their virtuous reputation in the local area. I sent someone to inquire about the women who secretly recommended them to the Ministry of Rites, and it was said that they were all extremely beautiful. Xu Lingyi's voice was as gentle and calm as before.

, but with a bit of lightness.

He had been a little uncomfortable in the past few days, but now he was willing to lower his posture and talk to him. The movements in Eleven Niang's hands gradually slowed down, showing a listening look, giving each other a step up.

The cold war is just to make the other party understand your attitude, but a long-term cold war cannot solve any problems except causing discord between the couple.

This time, we are choosing a concubine for the eldest son of the emperor instead of a concubine for the emperor. Only one official concubine is selected. How can a person with outstanding appearance and noble conduct be more conducive to the selection? According to common sense, the District family should select a person with outstanding appearance in advance.

Women build momentum for them, and then supplement them with one or two women in case of emergencies, to ensure that the recommended person can finally get into the eyes of the Queen Mother. But the people of the District family seem a bit disorganized in this matter.

They were working hard both openly and secretly, so that the people in the Ou family in the Ministry of Etiquette were in a very difficult position and didn't know what to do. The Yang family actually came out on top.

Eleven Niang looked up at Xu Lingyi with a surprised expression.

Xu Lingyi looked at it and smiled slightly: I'm not angry anymore.

Angry, Eleven Niang looked at Xu Lingyi seriously and said simply and honestly, it was the same thing with Brother Jie last time. Master Hou threw the child to me without a word of explanation, which made me worry for a while. It was like this again.

I never say a word to my concubine when something happens, how can I not be angry?

I also know that a man should speak loudly and resoundingly. Although you and Mr. Xiang only have a verbal agreement, it is also what you promised. Even if I don't want to in my heart, I shouldn't say anything for the sake of the Marquis's face.

When I go to see Miss Xiang, I also want to make the wedding a decent and lively affair. I just understand that I have a hard time getting over my feelings.

As she spoke, there was a hint of displeasure on her face. The Marquis also said that telling Brother Yu about this marriage was, firstly, for Brother Yu's future, and secondly, for the sake of the peace of the house. Each of the brothers has his or her own interests.

If you have Bentou, you won't only be thinking about the wealth at home. I think it makes sense. You have considered everything carefully and arranged it properly, and you have also talked to your second sister-in-law who has a keen eye for pearls. If you had carefully thought about it in advance

I told my concubine, no matter how stupid I am, thinking about Lord Hou’s painstaking care for his children, and thinking about the kindness of the Xiang family in betrothing their first daughter to Brother Yu, I can only feel grateful to the Xiang family and their second sister-in-law.

He also angrily said that he wanted to see Miss Xiang, which was a disgrace to Mr. Xiang and his second sister-in-law. When the Marquis refused to agree, he must be blaming me for not knowing the general situation.

When Xu Lingyi heard that Eleven Niang said that no matter how unwilling she was, for the sake of the Marquis, she would arrange the marriage of Brother Yu and Miss Xiang Er in a decent and lively manner, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. Then she heard Eleven Niang say that she was angrily

When he asked to see Miss Xiang, he knew that Eleven Niang was just saying something out of anger, and he felt happy. When Eleven Niang asked him if he was blaming me for not knowing the general outline, he quickly said: No, no.

Eleven Niang pretended not to hear. She continued: "You don't know, I met my second sister-in-law in those days, but I didn't even mention it, let alone say a few words of gratitude. If you are more open-minded, just smile."

It's over. If you are a little more generous, you secretly laugh at me for not knowing how to repay, and feel that you have been entrusted by others to be loyal but your journey has been in vain. How can you face your second sister-in-law if you let me know the truth?

How to mention this matter to my second sister-in-law?

Xu Lingyi was very embarrassed. She murmured: Second sister-in-law is not a narrow-minded person.

But Eleven Niang heard this and sighed: Just because the second sister-in-law is not a narrow-minded person, the Marquis and I should treat each other with sincerity and respect. Otherwise, I will not

Feeling uneasy, he said again, "Speaking of which, if the second lady of the Xiang family is as docile as the second sister-in-law said, she would be a good match for Brother Yu. Even though I am his stepmother, I still hope for his good, and I hope for their brothers and sisters."

Harmony between the two families can make the Xu family prosperous. Such a good thing has caused so many troubles. He said that he glanced at Xu Lingyi.

He couldn't help but look embarrassed. But in his heart, he was still thinking about Eleven Niang's visit to Miss Xiang's family, so he bit the bullet: That Miss Xiang's family

Of course I want to see it

Xu Lingyi smiled bitterly.

Mr. Xiang agreed to marry his eldest daughter, why didn’t I, the mother-in-law, ask any questions? Eleven Niang said, after all, the second sister-in-law is also the aunt of the Xiang family, why should I ask the second sister-in-law to discuss the deposit with Mrs. Xiang?

The betrothal gift failed

Xu Lingyi felt relieved: He should go and see it, and he couldn't help but smile on his face.

Eleven Niang stood up and called Yanrong to come in and help her change clothes.

At this time, Xu Lingyi stood up and looked at Eleven Niang in surprise. Was it too hasty?

Who said that Eleven Niang had gone to see him at this time? He had to wait until the eldest sister’s wedding ceremony. I was going to the second sister-in-law’s place.

What to do? Xu Lingyi was stunned, looking a little nervous.

Eleven Niang thought about the rumors that she had heard that Yuan Niang was at odds with the Second Madam.

It seems that the conflict between Yuan Niang and the Second Madam has frightened Xu Lingyi.

She suppressed her smile and said, "Of course I want to thank my second sister-in-law for helping Brother Yu broker such a good marriage and relieving Mr. Hou's worries. I don't know if I don't know. Now that I know,

No matter what, I had to thank my second sister-in-law in person. Then he hesitated for a moment and said: Mr. Hou, let’s go together too. This will make it appear more solemn.

Xu Lingyi was relieved after hearing this, and there was a bit of joy in the corners of his eyes and brows: Of course we will go together, of course we will go together.

Eleven Niang covered her sleeves and smiled, and asked Chun Sui to come in and help Xu Lingyi change clothes. She washed herself in the clean room, changed into a goose-yellow embroidered grass green Ruyi pattern coat, and went to Shaohua Courtyard with Xu Lingyi.

On the way, she took the initiative to ask Xu Lingyi: Will the emperor's eldest concubine come from the Yang family?

It is unlikely that Xu Lingyi said, this matter must be decided by the emperor in the end.

Then the Marquis said there was something fishy about the Ou family, so what was going on?

The maids followed at a distance, and the two slowed down their pace, talking as they walked.

Marquis Jinghai has nine sons and three daughters. The eldest son, the fourth son, the sixth son and the seventh son are all legitimate sons, and the other sons are all concubines. The imperial concubine is the second daughter of the third wife. The eldest son was established as the heir apparent thirty years ago. These days

Nian Jinghaihou is very old, and all family affairs are taken care of by the prince, who is well-known in Fujian. He came to the court when the emperor ascended the throne, and I have met a few times. He is a very reserved and steady person.

Xu Lingyi's expression gradually became solemn. In the matter of fighting for the throne, the winner will be the king and the loser will be the bandits. It is the risk of losing the family. Without a little certainty, no one dares to act rashly. In the matter of the fifth prince, the Ou family was too eager for quick success and quick gain.

.For this reason, I also met with Wang Jiubao quietly. I asked him about the situation of the District family, fearing that there was something I didn’t know. When he said this, his eyes looked solemn. Who knows, what Wang Jiubao said was almost the same as what I knew.

.At this time, the matter of recommending the emperor's eldest concubine came up again. Both times, the methods of action were very similar, sometimes feminine and aggressive, sometimes sophisticated and smooth. At this point, he stopped and looked at Eleven Niang. I suspect that there is something going on within the District family.

Problem

Anything involving politics will become very complicated. Eleven Niang felt that even if she knew it, she would not be able to help Xu Lingyi. She said directly: Is that a good thing or a bad thing for our family?

I don’t know yet. Xu Lingyi smiled faintly, changed his tone and said, but I think it should be a good thing.

As long as it's a good thing

Eleven Niang walked forward with him and told him about Brother Yu: Since she wants him to take the imperial examination and official career, her husband's affairs are urgent. I think when I go to the second sister-in-law later, I might as well ask the second sister-in-law.

She helped find a husband

Xu Lingyi said: After all, the second sister-in-law is a widow and has not had contact with her old acquaintance for many years. How can she be so embarrassed to always trouble her? I think, what do you think about sending Brother Yu to Mr. Jiang of Jinxi Academy in Le'an?

how

Eleven Niang was slightly startled.

Xu Siyu is only twelve years old this year. Is he willing to go to such a far away place to study?

Jade is useless if it is not cut. She had a flash of thought, and Xu Lingyi said, not to mention Mr. Jiang's knowledge and character are obvious to all. If he goes there to see things, his vision and mind will be wider. It will only be good for him in the future, not bad.

When did the Marquis come up with this idea? Eleven Niang said with a smile, but she didn't say a word.

This is what you reminded me of. Xu Lingyi smiled and said, didn't you say that reading a thousand volumes of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles? Since Brother Qin can follow the third brother to go to work and endure hardships, Brother Yu also needs to practice a lot.

It’s not a reminder, maybe it’s a little touching.

Only when you know how vast the world is can you know how small you are. Maybe Xu Siyu will fall in love with the title of Marquis of Yongping even more because of this. Maybe he will know that there are more important things in the world than the title. Although it is a double-edged sword, don't try it

Give it a try, who knows what the result will be?

Eleven Niang smiled slightly, Shaohuayuan was right in front of her.

From December 29, 2010 to January 7, 2011, the number of pink votes for female channels doubled.

Woo woo woo
