Chapter 132: The Old Lady's Thoughts
"Why should I..." Mrs. Liu glanced at Grandma Liu and sighed, "It's just that it's hard to convince everyone. Besides, it's not this time either. You are a sister-in-law, so you don't have time to persuade the eldest girl.
.”
Grandma Liu had been begging for a long time, but Mrs. Liu still didn't agree. Grandma Liu couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
"It's getting late, you should go back and take good care of Da Lang. Is Da Lang feeling better lately?" Old Mrs. Liu asked Grandma Liu.
"After eating the things the old lady sent me, I'm feeling much better. In two days, I'll be able to come to pay my respects to the old lady in person." Grandma Liu said with a smile.
"Tell him that he will have a good life and don't be in a hurry. I have nothing to do here. There is also a senior official in the Yamen who has taken leave of absence for him. It is prudent to take good care of your health. You are still young."
"Yes." Grandma Liu quickly agreed.
"Go." Mrs. Liu looked tired, closed her eyes slightly, and waved casually to Grandma Liu.
Grandma Liu had no choice but to retreat from Mrs. Liu's house.
After coming out of Mrs. Liu's place, Grandma Liu did not go back to her own courtyard, but went straight to Mrs. Liu's yard.
In the upper room, Mrs. Liu and Liu Ruoyuan were sitting on the couch, waiting for news from Mrs. Liu/grandma.
"...I have said everything I can say, but the old lady only said that it is difficult to convince the public. She also said that there is no need to rush, and it is not this time, there will be another chance in the future." Grandma Liu roughly compared what Mrs. Liu said with Mrs. Liu.
Liu Ruoyuan learned the lesson.
Mrs. Liu frowned, while Liu Ruoyuan was anxious.
"...It's all the third wife who caused the trouble!...It's just a matter of a word from the old lady, so why can't it be so difficult to convince everyone? There were fewer such things in the past, and they were never so difficult." Old Mrs. Liu used to suffer from migraine.
Liu Ruoyuan, who convinced everyone in the family, often did eccentric things. But now, when Liu Ruoyuan felt that it was most important, Mrs. Liu suddenly worried about whether she could convince everyone.
"Old lady, I'm afraid..." She had something else on her mind. Mrs. Liu only said half a sentence, but considering Liu Ruoyuan's temperament, she swallowed the second half.
"Does the old lady have no room for talking?" Liu Ruoyuan was unwilling to give in and asked Grandma Liu again.
Grandma Liu looked at Mrs. Liu and then at Liu Ruoyuan, thinking about it in her heart.
"That's not true." Mrs. Liu said. Mrs. Liu's ears are soft, which is something everyone knows.
When Liu Ruoyuan heard what Grandma Liu said, she was about to get up and go talk to Old Mrs. Liu herself. Mrs. Liu glared at Liu Ruoyuan and stopped her.
"I didn't hear what the old lady said, why are you still making trouble now? Aren't you afraid that the old lady will annoy you even more? Even if the old lady loves you, the family is different now. Every pair of eyes is staring at us, and we can't even move at all.
Wrong, you grabbed me and didn’t let go. Is that possible? Do you want to impose a harsher punishment?”
Liu Ruoyuan had no choice but to stand down and look at Mrs. Liu aggrievedly.
"Mom, at least think of a way."
"Don't be anxious. Just like you have been doing these days, be obedient. If the old lady knows about it, I will feel sorry for you in my heart. After all, there are still a few days, and maybe the old lady will change her mind." Mrs. Liu asked Liu Ruoyuan to behave.
Be more obedient and you can win back Mrs. Liu's heart and shut Mrs. Liu San's mouth.
"Then what if the old lady still refuses to change her mind?" Liu Ruoyuan asked.
One of the main purposes of the eldest princess's grand banquet was to select a favorite daughter-in-law for Han Qing, the prince of the Hou family. Although this matter was not stated openly, it was also known to everyone. People in Beijing, including some in Beijing,
The official families outside, as long as they had girls of the right age, all rushed to attend this banquet, hoping that their girls would be attracted by the eldest princess and marry into the prince's mansion and become the prince's wife. In the future, the prince's wife would also
Became the emperor's niece.
If you miss this banquet, it almost means losing the chance of being selected.
Mrs. Liu and Liu Ruoyuan had already set their sights on the Zhengding Hou Mansion, and naturally they would not give up so easily.
"When the time comes, there will naturally be other ways." Mrs. Liu said thoughtfully.
…
The next morning, Mrs. Liu Er and Liu Ruosi came to pay their respects to Old Mrs. Liu. When everyone left, Old Mrs. Liu spoke up and left Mrs. Liu Er and Liu Ruosi behind.
"How are you, Third Girl, lately?" Old Mrs. Liu suddenly asked.
Both Mrs. Liu Er and Liu Ruosi felt a little baffled, but Mrs. Liu Er still answered truthfully.
"Back to the old lady, the three girls have been fine recently, and their bodies are much stronger than before."
"That's good." Old Mrs. Liu nodded, "You have taken good care of the third girl these two days. When you go to the house of the Marquis of Zhengding to congratulate the eldest princess on her birthday, the third girl must not get sick again."
of."
Last time at Daxiangguo Temple, Liu Ruosi said she had a stomachache and did not go to see the eldest princess and Princess Yongjing. Mrs. Liu still remembered that.
Mrs. Liu Er couldn't help but glance at Liu Ruosi, thought about it, and nodded in agreement, regardless of how Liu Ruosi winked at her.
"Yes." Old Mrs. Liu was still satisfied with Mrs. Liu Er's attitude, "You are at this age and have become a mother a long time ago. You should have some calculations in your heart."
Old Mrs. Liu spoke to Mrs. Liu Er partly in a scolding and partly instructive way.
"Third girl is at a good age. You should make plans for her. Take her with you often and teach her to get to know more wives and grandmothers. She is still young and has nothing on her mind. You can't always let her go. It will be delayed.
she."
It was rare for Mrs. Liu Er to hear Old Mrs. Liu thinking about her and Liu Ruosi like this. As Liu Ruosi listened, she felt that the topic seemed to be drifting in a strange direction. She wanted to speak out, but she also knew that there was nothing here.
There was no room for her to speak, so she had to lower her head and pretend to listen quietly.
"These girls in the family are all top-notch in terms of appearance and character. Our family does not expect to be the best, but the child's conditions are better, so we can't be wronged. Although you and the second master are adopted heirs
, that child Wen'er looks fine. After all..."
"From now on, you will still have to rely on Third Girl. When Third Girl is well, you will have more hope and more expertise."
However, the more Mrs. Liu spoke, the more intimate she became. Mrs. Liu could not help but be moved. Even Liu Ruosi was slightly moved in her heart. After comparing, Mrs. Liu finally realized that they were better, so she transferred her beloved wife to her.
My heart turned to them.
"What the old lady said is true. I am a careless person. Fortunately, the old lady gave me guidance." Mrs. Liu Er stood up and said.
"What are you doing when you get up? Just sit down and talk." Old Mrs. Liu raised her hand and asked Mrs. Liu Er to sit down and talk.
"...I have thought about all the families in the capital now. The Zhengding Marquis Mansion is considered to be the top... Only this one legitimate son, Long Live Lord's nephew, is certain to succeed the Marquis."
, even the next generation will inevitably have the title of Marquis. His family is also relatively quiet, and we all saw the young prince that day. He looks good and is of a good age..."
Mrs. Liu Er and Liu Ruosi couldn't help but exchange a surprised look. Mrs. Liu's words actually meant that they should strive to be favored by the eldest princess and marry into the Hou Mansion as the heir's wife!
It turned out that Old Mrs. Liu also took a fancy to the Zhengding Hou Mansion. However, Old Mrs. Liu originally planned to marry Liu Ruoyuan into the Hou Mansion, but now, this candidate has become Liu Ruosi.
Liu Ruoyuan has completely fallen out of favor with Old Mrs. Liu. Now Old Mrs. Liu seems to value Liu Ruosi the most. However, if the result of the importance is like this, Liu Ruosi would rather not have it.
After coming out of Old Mrs. Liu's place, Mrs. Liu Er and Liu Ruosi, mother and daughter, were in complicated moods.
"Mom, I don't want to. That Han Qing is not a good person." Returning to Mrs. Liu Er's room, Liu Ruosi dismissed the serving girls and simply showed off her cards to Mrs. Liu Er.
"Mother knows, mother knows." Mrs. Liu Er nodded. Even if it hadn't happened last time at the back of Daxiangguo Temple, Mrs. Liu Er had heard from Mr. Liu Er and Mr. Zhao that Han Qing was a dandy. Moreover,
, recalling the scene when she saw Han Qing in the Daxiangguo Temple, Mrs. Liu Er herself felt that Han Qing's eyes were a little wandering, and he looked more frivolous.
Mrs. Liu Er did not expect Liu Ruosi's future husband's family to be rich and powerful, but at least the person Liu Ruosi married was a reliable and stable man. Han Qing's appearance was too far away from the word "safe".
"Mom, then you won't listen to the old lady and just..."
"No, of course not." Mrs. Liu Er said immediately. Although Mrs. Liu Er was very touched by Mrs. Liu's attitude today, she decided to give up her daughter's life because of this touch. However, Mrs. Liu Er said
It is absolutely impossible. If there is anything in this world that Mrs. Liu Er will never compromise on, it is something that concerns Liu Ruosi.
"Si'er, don't be afraid. When your father comes back in the evening, I will talk to your father. Let your father reject the old lady."
When Liu Ruosi heard what Mrs. Liu Er said, she burst into laughter.
"Mom, your heart is too honest." Liu Ruosi smiled and said to Mrs. Liu Er, "Although the old lady said it very clearly today, she didn't say it clearly. We all know in our hearts that we will let my father refuse.
It’s just unnecessary.”
"Although the old lady has a good plan, it is just a plan. It also depends on whether the eldest princess likes us."
Mrs. Liu Er also laughed when Liu Ruosi said this.
"I'm impatient." In fact, this is no wonder Mrs. Liu Er. In the eyes of any mother, her children are not the best in the world. Naturally, she thinks that they are the only ones who look down on others, and no one else looks down on them.
of.
"When the time comes, there will be so many people, so many of them must have their own thoughts. We just don't come forward, don't stand out, and hide as much as we can, then nothing will happen." Liu Ruosi said. She was only worried about Liu Er.
The attitude of the wife and Mr. Liu Er was not taken to heart by the rest.
