Those things about the landlady

Chapter 116

King Wei had explained beforehand that it was not for the princess to argue too much with Shu Ran, even if she hit a soft nail, she would bear it if she could, but what does Concubine Yang mean by this?Want to fight her in public?
She didn't have the obligation to get used to the other party, and retorted: "Why are you in such a hurry, side concubine Yang, it has nothing to do with you. Didn't you hear what Mrs. Hou said? She doesn't want to climb high."

Seeing the scene turn cold, Mrs. Zhong smoothed things over with a smile and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, don't waste your time here. The chrysanthemums in our mansion are all rare species. If you don't It’s a waste of money to appreciate it.”

When she said this, the atmosphere immediately became active, and everyone followed suit. Concubine Yang gave Wang Concubine a look of disgust, and then left with the lady she had made friends with.

Shu Ran and Sister Ning also looked at each other in blank dismay, they couldn't figure out how the princess in the palace was able to stand upright. Mrs. Zhong seemed to know what they were thinking, and deliberately followed them and fell behind.

With a friendly smile, she said to Shu Ran with some embarrassment: "Don't be surprised, Mrs. Hou, our concubine has always been innocent, straightforward and unscheming, she can say whatever comes to her mind, although sometimes it makes people feel helpless, in fact, she has no malicious intentions. "

Shu Ran nodded with a smile, but it was not easy to say anything, after all, it was not her family, and it was not her turn to speak up, so Mrs. Zhong looked away at Sister Ning when she saw that she was not answering.

The more she looked at it, the more she was satisfied, and she wished she could immediately decide on their marriage, but she also knew that she should not act too hastily. The greatest advantage of Mrs. Zhong was her patience. She had enough patience to wait for the opportunity, and at the same time, she was willing to create opportunities for her son.

She took Sister Ning's hand and said with a smile: "Sister Ning is getting more and more beautiful. A few days ago, I got a piece of good Shu brocade, and the color didn't suit me very well. I thought of you first. Why don't you buy it?" I’ll just give it to you, there’s nothing else going on right now, why don’t you go and get it with me?”

Sister Ning was flattered, she said politely: "Thank you Madam for your love, you should keep such a good material for yourself, it will be used in the future."

Mrs. Zhong pretended to be angry and said: "Why do you have such a relationship with me, girl, and I don't have a daughter, so the material will not look good after a long time, maybe you don't like it."

Sister Ning hurriedly waved her hand, "Madam misunderstood, how can I dislike it, I really deserve it."

Mrs. Zhong chuckled, "Don't be nervous, and don't be polite. Since I said I would give it to you, I must give it to you sincerely. You can just let me get the material, and I can also go Hide away and be quiet."

Now that we've talked about this, Shu Ran doesn't have much to say, Mrs. Zhong must have a plan for her actions, but with her status, Shu Ran concluded that she dared not do anything excessive, so she didn't. Block more.

Sister Ning came out today to bring Madam Cao, she is different from Mrs. Luo, she is hard to fool, with her guarding Sister Ning, Shu Ran is at ease.

Along the way, Sister Ning and Mrs. Zhong chatted and laughed so disharmoniously, it would not be an exaggeration to say that they are as close as a mother and daughter, but Madam Cao was always vigilant. Mrs. Zhong's yard is not far away, and they arrived after a short walk. , the two were just about to go in, when a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old walked up to him, that boy was imposing, although his appearance was not very outstanding, his aura was unforgettable.

Sister Ning met him suddenly, she was unprepared, she blushed suddenly, and hurriedly turned around to avoid it, Mrs. Zhong seemed also surprised, she hurriedly asked: "Heng'er, why did you come to me?" Here, what's the matter?"

The Fourth Young Master glanced at Ning'er without any trace, then looked at Mrs. Zhong and said, "I'm here to get a book. I accidentally left it here with Mother last time. Let's go now."

There was indeed a book in his hand, and Sister Ning saw it even though she turned her back. Mrs. Zhong said to her son with disdain: "Hurry up, I have to entertain distinguished guests here."

The Fourth Young Master cupped his fists at Sister Ning to express his apology, and Ning Sister avoided it sideways. Madam Zhong smiled unconsciously when she saw that she had achieved her goal. "I also didn't expect this child to come to me, did it scare you?"

Sister Ning shook her head, "It's okay, I just ran into it by chance, let's go in first, I'm worried that my mother will be anxious after waiting for a long time."

Sister Ning is so smart, it's not hard to guess Mrs. Zhong's thoughts, even if she made a trick, it means that she is very satisfied with her, and the fourth son is also the object of her consideration before, although he is not very popular in the Wei Palace. , but they have never really suffered a disadvantage, and now they are slowly emerging. The mother and son are not simple characters.

After getting the materials from Mrs. Zhong, Ning and Ning hurried back to Shu Ran. The mother and daughter didn't say much when they met. Shu Ran spoke carefully.

Mrs. Zhong's thoughts were simple and straightforward, Shu Ran didn't want to comment much, she frowned and said: "Don't think too much, what she does is her business, your marriage depends on my nodding with your father, I will discuss it with your father at night, but I don't know what the prince thinks."

Sister Ning said nonchalantly: "Daughter's marriage may not be able to get out of the Wei Palace. It is probably either the son of Concubine Yang or Mrs. Zhong's son. As long as it is not the noble eldest son, it will be fine."

Sister Ning thought clearly, so there was nothing to reject, Shu Ran sighed, and only hoped that the Wei Palace would come to the end, otherwise they would not know what to do as a big family.

After returning home, Shu Ran immediately sensed that Yao Jiaxing had something on his mind. She sent her daughter away first, and then asked him carefully.

Yao Jiaxing didn't mean to hide anything, he said in a deep voice: "I thought that the emperor is strong and we still have a few years to live in peace. Today, the prince revealed that the emperor has frequently recruited imperial physicians recently, and there are also bad news from the palace. , the other princes are a little ready to move."

Shu Ran's face changed. If something happened to the emperor, how could the peace of the capital last long? She said anxiously: "Then what should we do? I'm afraid King Wei won't be able to stay dormant there either."

Yao Jiaxing nodded, "My lord, on the surface everything is business as usual, but in the dark we have to step up our actions, and we have to close the nets. We don't need to do anything in the mansion for the time being. It's superfluous to do anything if the capital is not peaceful. If not, I will send your mothers back to Caohe Town first."

Shu Ran immediately objected: "What do you mean? Can I just share wealth with you? I will never leave the capital, and I will face everything with you."

Yao Jiaxing touched her bun helplessly, and comforted her: "Don't worry, I'm just in case, the prince also mentioned to me about Ning's marriage, he wants to ration Ning to the fourth son, the four Although the young master's mother is only a wife, she is very capable, I am quite optimistic about him, if the prince can make further progress in the future, sister Ning's fortune is yet to come."

Shu Ran had no room for objection, she said a little unhappy: "The lord personally asks for marriage, what can we say, the fourth son is not bad at all, General Ye might as well decide on it, let's talk about what happens in the future. "

When Yao Jiaxing first came back, the Ye family specially sent congratulatory gifts and mentioned the matter of engagement, but Shu Ran didn't give a clear answer, so it's better to do it together, Yao Jiaxing didn't object, and the Ye family was also an excellent choice.
