Concubine Raiders

Xu Lingyi's Phoenix eyes were raised, and she was not angry. She even let his wife stop talking for a moment.

"As for the matter of going to the Jiang family to ask for marriage," he sat down slowly and pondered, "please give your mother more consideration."

Mrs. Tai recovered. She sighed softly and said with a bitter smile, "I know you are not happy. But I also have my intention. At that time, yuanniang was very excited. You refused to let her go again. If I didn't agree, who knew what would happen again! In addition, the Jiang family is full of noble families, and once produced two imperial masters, which are highly respected by the world. I'm afraid I may not want to be related to my family. I thought, even if I went to ask, it was still unknown whether the Jiang family would agree or not? It's better to do it for the time being and plan later. " With that, he sighed, "the wind of the Jiang family is pure, and there is the wind of Haoran. Speaking of it, yuanniang is still very insightful. What's more, your father once said, marry a wife and marry a virtuous man. Most of the women who come out of this family are intelligent, elegant and self-cultivation, so they come to ask for your second brother to marry your sister-in-law three times, regardless of others' ridicule. " Mention of the son who died of illness, too madam eyes slightly wet, "you also see. Your second sister-in-law did exactly what your father said: when he was in charge of the mid-term report, he was honest and generous; after his second brother died of illness, he was able to stick to it. It's all due to her good tutoring. I don't know how happy I am if elder brother Zhun can marry Jiang's daughter! "

Listening to her mother talk about her brother, Xu Lingyi's expression eased a lot. He said frankly: "my mother is afraid that it will make the emperor unhappy."

"Not bad." Madame Tai looked dignified. "The emperor and empress are still married, and the empress gives birth to three sons. You pacify the Miao man first, and then conquer the northern Xinjiang. Our family is just like the flowers, brocade and cooking oil. How can I not be afraid! I'm afraid that the emperor will be upset. I'm afraid that someone with a heart will gossip in front of the emperor. I'm even more afraid that I'll lose a lot of money because of small things, which will implicate the empress... " She said, her eyes burning at her son, "we can't make a mistake now. Just wait... " Said, pointed to the sky, "is the first day!"

"Mother. When the moon is full, it is short; when the water is full, it overflows. " Xu Lingyi's expression is light, "this world's matter, which has long flourished.". You can't stop eating because of choking. If you're afraid of being missed, do nothing! "

"You mean..."

Xu Lingyi nodded: "I don't agree to marry with the Jiang family. I'm not afraid that the emperor will be suspicious, nor that the Jiang family won't agree. Since I have taken the responsibility of rejuvenating my family, if I can't even choose a daughter-in-law who is knowledgeable, polite and sincere to my son, what else can I talk about? Why don't you go to the Miaoman and the northern Xinjiang to compete with others Said, his brow slightly frown frown, "I still think Zhun elder brother is too small, at this time propose marriage, can choose a age is equal. Children are too young to be sure. Now look good, big may not be good. There are many examples of this. "

Mrs. Tai nodded slightly.

"But if you find someone who is much older than brother Zhun, I'm afraid that they will not get along with each other in the future." Xu Lingyi's eyebrows were slightly worried, "I wanted to wait for elder brother Zhun to grow up, and then help him to have a closer look He is a legitimate son, and his future daughter-in-law is to lead the whole family and not be careless! "

Too madam does not stop nodding: "you worry very much. It's just yuanniang's side We stayed, just afraid she couldn't wait With that, there was a bit of helplessness in the tone, "besides, she has always been smart, and now when the lamp is dry and oil is exhausted, I'm afraid she won't be at ease."

Xu Lingyi did not say anything. She lowered her eyelids, lifted the lid of the tea cup and brushed the floating leaves in the cup: "so please consider this matter carefully."

"You mean..." Mrs. Tai is quite confused.

"When I came out of the courtyard, I asked people to inquire about the Jiang family." Xu Lingyi sipped the tea gently. "Jiang Bai, Jiang song and Jiang GUI are the legitimate sons of Jiang's brothers. Among them, Jiang Bai was the master of the Imperial Academy, and had three sons and two daughters, of whom the eldest and second daughters came out directly; Jiang song returned to Le'an to open an academy called "Jingxi", with one son and one daughter, both of whom came out directly; Jiang GUI was the magistrate of Taiyuan, with two sons and two daughters, of whom the eldest son and the eldest daughter came out directly. Jiang Bai's second daughter is two years old, Jiang song's eldest daughter is four years old, and Jiang GUI's eldest daughter is 12 years old. I want to marry Jiang song's eldest daughter for brother Zhun! "

Too madam ponders: "although the child is small, does not have the qualitative determination, but who raises looks like who. Jiang Bai was up and down in his official career, and his children inevitably became rich and noble. Jiang song taught in the countryside, and his children may also have some precipitous character In a noble family like ours, we prefer her to be aloof and lofty, rather than dance with her husband and strive for fame and wealth... "

"That's what I intend to do." Xu Lingyi's Phoenix eyes flashed slightly, and the cold light like a knife edge passed by her eyes. "I'm afraid yuanniang doesn't think so. In addition to striving for the best in everything, she also likes to keep a hand. I think this is no exception. Before I came, I asked Ma Zuowen of pedestrian department to speak to Jiang Bai for me. If Jiang Bai has a long-term vision, he naturally knows that the so-called "Qinggui" should first be expensive in order to be clear. Emperor Shi is the old Chinese calendar decades ago. If they want to continue to be so prominent, they have to find another way out. If he doesn't have this vision, the Jiang family will not be far away from the day of decline. "

"Men are considerate." Mrs. Tai said with a smile, "Jiang song is not an official, but Jiang Bai is a master of the academy and a cabinet candidate. Naturally, it is much better to marry Jiang song than to marry Jiang Bai. Moreover, in case of anything, it should be said that our two families are always in marriage and help each other. Even if the emperor knows it, he will only feel that we are tolerant and humble. ""So it's clear that yuanniang is going to make trouble about it. Let everyone know why our family wants to marry the Jiang family. " Xu Lingyi nodded, "secretly, but I still want you to do it in person. In order to avoid self defeating, he will form a family with Jiang Bai. "

"I know it's great." Too madam tiny jaw head, looked at son one eye, hesitated for a moment, way: "still have one thing. On the second day of February, when I went to visit the empress in the palace, I met the Empress Dowager. She asked about yuanniang's illness. Half jokingly and half seriously, she has a sister who looks beautiful. If you hadn't already had a wife, it would not have been humiliating to be with you... "

Xu Lingyi laughed: "in this case, don't worry about the Qiao family - lest you be embarrassed!"

Too madam sees son not a trace of surprise, strange way: "what did you hear?"

Xu Lingyi's smile gradually narrowed. She said, "it's better to let yuanniang beat her, so as not to make such trouble again in the future." Then he got up and said, "it's getting late. You've been tired for a whole day today. Let's have a rest early. It is estimated that there should be a letter from Ma Zuowen early tomorrow morning. If you haven't answered the letter, don't mention the marriage with the Jiang family in the future - the reaction is so slow, so as not to be implicated by his family! "

Too many things happened today. My wife is really tired. He called Wei Zi to send Xu Lingyi.

Wei Zi took two little maids and brought the octagonal glass lamp and sent Xu Lingyi out of the yard.

Lin Bo and Zhao Ying, Xu Lingyi's close companions, had already taken two orders in green clothes and hats. They were waiting in front of the door. When they saw Xu Lingyi, the two servants rushed forward to take the lamp from the servant girl's hand. LiNbO also stepped forward two steps with a smile and arched his hands to Wei Zi: "hard sister!"

Wei Zifu: "I dare not." He gave Xu Lingyi a salute and closed the gate with her servant girl.

But Xu Lingyi stood at the gate of the courtyard, looking up at the stars in the sky, and did not speak for a long time.

LiNbO and Zhaoying exchanged a look, both of them saw uneasiness in each other's eyes.

"Let's go!" After a long time, Xu Lingyi went to the flower hall behind Mrs. Tai's house.

They did not dare to hesitate. LiNbO walked in front of them with two little boys' lanterns, while Yingying served them on one side.

On the way, Xu Lingyi suddenly said, "are you clear?"

"Yes." Lin Bo said in a hurry, "because his wife sent Yanhong to ask him questions. He saw you resting again, and then he followed him."

Xu Lingyi looked as usual and said, "what did the lady ask him?"

"He was called, but his wife was not there." LiNbO said in a low voice, "purplish red let him wait there, he dare not go. That's why... "

"Give him to the bailiff." Xu Lingyi said in a soft voice, "let manager Bai add a more clever one."

LiNbO respectfully answered is, followed Xu Lingyi through the flower hall on the east-west road.

"Marquis!" After hesitating for a long time, he whispered, "I'm afraid the key has been lost in the back garden at this time."

Xu Lingyi was stunned. She stopped and stood in front of the flower window wall for a moment. She said in a soft voice, "then go to Aunt Qin."

Lin Bo Ying here, serve Xu Lingyi to Aunt Qin.

Knock on the door, answer the door is Wen aunt's personal maid yu'er.

"Marquis!" She opened her eyes wide. "Why are you here?" "No, I mean, I thought you would stay in the yard, so aunt Wen came to stay with aunt Qin..." Say, busy side body gave way, toward inside shout "Hou Ye is coming".

The courtyard was immediately woken up, and they all put on their clothes in a panic, or lit a lamp, or went to greet Xu Lingyi.

Looking at the situation, Xu Lingyi did not wait for Aunt Qin and aunt Wen to greet her, so she said, "let the two aunts have a good rest." she turned and went to Mrs. Tai.

Too Madame just rested, heard that the son folded back, busy to get up: "what happened?"

"It's OK!" Xu Lingyi said, "let me stay in your warm Pavilion for a night."

Too madam looked at son one eye, what also did not ask, command servant girls to open a cage, two days ago put up half new old bedding out to him to spread.

******

in the early morning of the next day, it began to rain and fell on the young leaves just emerging, which was more green than usual.

Eleven Niang opened a cage, let ten Niang pick clothes and jewelry.

Binju's face was not worried, and holly murmured at the door: "why don't you let her pick the things of Miss five, just look at our young lady's good temper."

"Don't say a word!" Holly said in a low voice, "the big lady's fire is not over yet? You should be careful and burn our young lady. "

Binju murmured: "I'm not just talking to you?"

Before her voice fell, someone said behind her, "is Miss eleven there? The eldest lady asked her to come

Two people turn round, see fall Qiao to smile to stand behind. (to be continued, please visit www.qidian.com , more chapters, support authors, support legitimate reading! )
