Concubine like a house

Chapter 133
Hearing this, Mrs. Tai couldn't help secretly saying that the emperor was shrewd.He obviously had something in his words, on the surface he was targeting the Zhuang family, but in fact he was jealous of the Yun family.Mrs. Tai thought so in her heart, showing disappointment on her face, and shook her head: "We Cheng'er is not blessed, and we can't stand up to the head of the country. Since the sage refuses so much, I don't dare to mention it anymore, you Look at it and point out a marriage."

In fact, Emperor Tianshou also wanted to find a family among the civil servants in his heart, and he was even more jealous of military generals holding military power, and marriage with the Yun family would cause more troubles.He thought that if he wanted to give a marriage to the eldest son of Yunfu, the girl must not only be dignified and worthy of the name of the future mistress, but also her status and blood should not be too low.

Before coming to Yunfu, Emperor Tianshou already had a suitable candidate in his heart. At this moment, seeing Mrs. Tai gave a step, he stepped on it unceremoniously, and asked with a smile: "Mrs. Tai, do you see Helian?" How about your daughter?"

Helen's?Helen Qi's sister?As soon as the Emperor Tianshou said the words, Mrs. Tai remained calm, but Chuxiu and Shen Yu's expressions darkened, especially the latter was on the verge of getting angry.

However, before these people could refute, Nie Peixiao got up from her seat first, and blurted out: "No!
I disagree! "

Emperor Tianshou was very displeased when he saw his ninth younger brother stand up to disrupt the situation.But he couldn't get angry in front of everyone, so he had to explain to Mrs. Tai again: "The Helian family has a century-old family of officials and ministers. There are countless civil servants in the family, and there are many talents and masters. The Yun family is full of wealth, and Helian I can't see a better match for your scholarly family."

The most important thing is that since the downfall of her in-laws, the Ming family, the Helian family has no real power in their hands, and all the positions they hold in the court are empty positions. It seems that the official rank is very high, but it is actually dispensable.Of course, the Emperor Tianshou would not say this.

But Nie Peixiao didn't care, and continued to answer: "Brother, the Helian family is definitely not good! You don't know, the brothers and sisters of the Ming family came to seek out Chuxiu's bad luck a few days ago, and Mingying is a crazy woman." If the Yun family and the Helian family get married, the Ming brothers and sisters will take the opportunity to cause trouble again! You don’t want to see the Ming family make a comeback, do you? You should think twice about this marriage!”

Nie Peixiao spoke so urgently that she was even more anxious than Mrs. Tai and Chuxiu.Someone said what she wanted to say, and it was hard for Chuxiu to speak again, she couldn't help but look at Shen Yu, both of them were worried, and they were silent.

On the other hand, Mrs. Tai, still calm and composed, finally accepted the words and sighed softly: "Thank you, His Royal Highness Cheng Wang, for considering my Yun family. In fact, this is the second thing, the marriage is bestowed by the Holy King Jinkou, do the brothers and sisters of the Ming family dare to make trouble again? only……"

Mrs. Tai coughed lightly, then sighed again: "To tell you the truth, I have carefully inquired about the few daughters of the Helian family who have not left the cabinet. One is sixteen, and Chenger doesn't like it when he is too old; The age is too young to have children. There is also a 14-year-old, who is of a suitable age, but I heard that he is destined for the god of water... Our Cheng'er has fire in his life, and water and fire cannot tolerate each other. Does this mean that the husband and wife are not in harmony?"

It was the 12-year-old Miss Helian who the Emperor Tianshou was interested in. After hearing this, he couldn't help replying: "The eldest son is fourteen, and there is a lady in the Helian family who is twelve years old. They are about the same age, and they are a perfect match."

Mrs. Tai waved her hand quickly, and her mournful expression gradually appeared: "No, Cheng'er's first priority in getting married is to extend the heirs, 12 years old is too young, and wait a few years before giving birth. My old woman is a person who has one foot in the coffin. Maybe someday I will close my eyes, if I can't see my great-grandson born, I will die with regret!"

Hearing this, Emperor Tianshou still refused to give up, and then persuaded: "Actually, that 14-year-old lady is not bad. This is a fate with fire and water. Believe it or not. You can't believe it all."

Mrs. Tai shook her head again and vetoed: "If Cheng'er is in charge of water and Miss Helian is in charge of fire, it will be easy to handle. Water can put out fire, and we Cheng'er can always be on top of her. But the two are the opposite! Miss Helian Bringing water is to extinguish the fire of our Cheng'er! The Yun family is already full of yin and yang, if he marries such a daughter-in-law again, wouldn't Cheng'er be suppressed by his wife? The Yun family should be criticized again The hen is in the morning..."

At this point, Mrs. Tai looked at the Emperor Tianshou again, and her words were clearly dissatisfied: "Besides, I don't know if the Holy Majesty has inquired about it. This Miss Helian is mediocre, how can she be worthy of Master Yun with such aptitude?" Motherhood?"

Faced with Mrs. Tai's dissatisfaction and questioning, Emperor Tianshou had no way to refute, and what's more, what the other party said was reasonable and impeccable.The conversation with Yixi tonight also made the Emperor Tianshu understand that no matter which family he wants to marry to Yun Cheng, Mrs. Xie can find a lot of reasons to oppose it. Only the daughters of the Ye family and the Zhuang family can hit her target. Mind.

Should he risk offending the Yun family and throw away Yun Cheng's marriage, or fulfill Madam Xie's wish and marry Miss Ye family or Miss Zhuang family to Yun Cheng as his wife?For a while, Emperor Tianshou was caught in a dilemma.

After thinking about it, he had no choice but to make a deliberate look: "This is embarrassing for me. I usually don't care much about the ladies of the various families, and I don't know who is the most suitable. Why don't you write the horoscope of your son's birthday to I, I must find the most suitable candidate for your grandson-in-law, what do you think?"

"It's the only way up to now." Mrs. Xie nodded, showing her powerlessness again, and ordered Yun Cheng to write down her birth date.

As soon as Yun Cheng walked out of the banquet hall, Mrs. Tai immediately stood in awe, and then solemnly said to Emperor Tianshou: "Actually, the biggest obstacle to marrying Miss Ye is the Empress Dowager. As long as she nods her head and agrees, this marriage will not be too difficult. I know that it is not easy for the Holy One to say this... I am willing to go to Jingzhou in person, and I am confident to persuade the Empress Dowager, what do you think?"

Hearing this, the Emperor Tianshou was also choked, and he found that he couldn't find a reason to refuse!So, he deliberately held the wine glass and poured himself a drink, taking this opportunity to delay the time, and waited until a glass of wine had entered his stomach, before he came up with an excuse: "You are old, and it is hard to travel and travel. If you trust me, I will hand over to you." How about I mediate this matter?"

Mrs. Tai still refused to give up, and asked urgently: "Then how long can you give an answer? I really can't wait, in case something happens to me during this period..."

The Emperor Tianshou didn't bother to answer the conversation, Shen Yu, who had been silent all night, finally spoke at the right time to ease the atmosphere for the two parties: "Mrs. Tai, please don't say anything depressing, the prosperity and prosperity of the Yun family depends on your advice! The Holy One has already opened his mouth, and he will definitely choose a good marriage for the son!"

Chuxiu was also afraid that Mrs. Tai would push the Emperor Tianshou into a hurry, so she echoed: "my uncle is right, you are healthy and healthy, you can't curse yourself."

Seeing that the two juniors couldn't hold back, Mrs. Tai couldn't help thinking that they couldn't hold back.Now that the reunification of the North and the South is imminent, and the Emperor Tianshou is afraid of the Yun family, how could he turn his face so easily and be ruthless?Only Chuxiu's temper, which is tough but not soft, will take three or two threats to heart.

The more Mrs. Tai thought about it, the more she felt that something bad happened between the two of them, but she couldn't reveal it, so she had to withdraw the topic abruptly, pretending to be sleepy, and said: "Then there will be Lao Sheng." One sentence: "It's all because of your dereliction of duty as a mother. If you didn't start late, how could those good girls marry their in-laws?"

Chuxiu quickly lowered her eyes and admitted her mistake.Seeing Chuxiu save him from the siege, Emperor Tianshou couldn't understand the tricks of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but he was relieved anyway.He took advantage of the opportunity to ask about Chuxiu's business affairs, and then he talked about other topics, and Yun Cheng also handed over his birth date.

This feast ended lively in their respective minds.

Walking out of the banquet hall, the Emperor Tianshou was still at the front.Mrs. Tai looked at the gap and glared at Chuxiu, silently reprimanding her for being weak and timid.The two were communicating with each other with their eyes, but the Tianshou Emperor, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, turned around and said solemnly: "It's not easy to come to Yunfu, I want to pay homage to the two Marquis."

Regardless of whether Tianshoudi's words were superficial or sincere, Mrs. Tai and Chuxiu were very moved.Especially Mrs. Tai, although there is no sad look on her face, her words have gradually weakened: "Please forgive me for being mentally weak and not going to the ancestral hall with the saint, let Chuxiu take you there."

Emperor Tianshou also saw Madam Tai's restraint, and when he thought of her loss of her husband and only son, she could understand a little bit, so he put aside his prejudices and said politely: "I'm bothering you tonight, and you have been troubled all night."

Mrs. Tai smiled and said, "When you leave the mansion, the old man will come and see you off." "No need." Emperor Tianshou waved his hand, "I will leave directly after going to the ancestral hall to worship, and Madam Chuxiu will see you off."

Mrs. Tai did not say any more polite words. In fact, Yun Cheng's marriage failed to come to an end tonight. After all, she was dissatisfied with Emperor Tianshou, she didn't want to force herself, and she asked herself that it was not necessary: ​​"Thank you for your understanding, the old man will retire first Already." He said with a slight bow, making a gesture to walk in the direction of Rongjin Hall.

"It's hard to travel at night, let General Shen take you back." Mrs. Ming Mingtai was accompanied by a maid, and the Yun Mansion was also brightly lit, but the Emperor Tianshou said these words.

Madam Tai glanced at Shen Yu secretly, but did not refute: "Your Majesty is more thoughtful." Shen Yu also knew the meaning of God's gift, so he escorted Madam Tai back to Rongjin Hall.The rest of them, besides Tian Shudi and Chu Xiu, also included King Cheng Nie Peixiao and his son Yun Cheng.Seeing this, Yun Cheng also said wittily: "Mother, I just wrote my birthday horoscope tonight, so it's not suitable to go to the ancestral hall to worship." Nanxi has a rule since ancient times that people who have talked about their relatives that day cannot enter dark places.This excuse was very timely, and Emperor Tianshou also looked at the young Yun Cheng with admiration.The latter kept bowing his head and eyes, full of courtesy.After listening to Yun Cheng's words, Chuxiu also nodded and went back: "You go, get some rest earlier." Yun Cheng then respectfully withdrew and returned to Zhiyanxuan.At this moment, only Tianshoudi, Nie Peixiao, Chuxiu, and the guards they brought out were left.The three of them walked towards the ancestral hall without a word, the closer they got, the heavier their hearts became.After walking in silence for a long while, Emperor Tianshou suddenly asked: "Mrs. Xie Tai is interested in Ye Lingyan, or Zhuang Yiran?" Thorough." Emperor Tianshou sneered and stopped asking further questions until he reached the gate of the ancestral hall before turning to Chuxiu Youyou to comment: "You and Mrs. Tai are both women's methods. If you want to talk about being bright and aboveboard, it's just saying. He never used Conspiracy, only use conspiracy." This should be a very high evaluation, let alone from the mouth of the emperor.It's a pity that the person who was praised has now turned into a pile of bones, which makes this praise extremely sad, and Chuxiu can't help but want to cry.Emperor Tianshou didn't pay attention to Chuxiu's expression, and walked into the ancestral hall.Only then did Nie Peixiao persuade in a low voice: "Brother Huang is not targeting you, he is annoyed by Mrs. Tai." Follow up with the shrine.In the Yun's ancestral hall, there are enshrined tablets of the Marquis of Lixin in the past dynasties. Since the tablets are made of wood, in order to prevent the ancestral hall from flooding, the house is not lit day and night.The guardian of the shrine did not expect that Chuxiu would come at night, so he quickly took a candle and went out to greet him.

No matter how prosperous and glorious the Yun family is, no matter how many generations of Li Xinhou and no matter how literary and martial arts are, they can't escape life, old age, sickness and death after all, and turned into memorial tablets in this ancestral hall.This is Yun's backbone, and at the same time it is Yun's sad place.

Both Emperor Tianshou and Nie Peixiao were intimidated by the solemn atmosphere, and they were also infected with sadness for no reason.With the faint candlelight, the two burned a stick of incense respectively, and stood silently for a while before coming out.

From the beginning to the end, Chuxiu only said one sentence: "On behalf of my husband, I thank the Holy Majesty and His Highness King Cheng." At this time, Emperor Tianshou was full of emotion: "Let's go!" This is to drive back to Prince Cheng's mansion .Chuxiu silently followed, and saw him off in the direction of the outer courtyard.After Nie Peixiao came out of the ancestral hall, her mood became mixed and she didn't say a word.Several guards followed behind, even more invisible.

The Yun Mansion at night seemed very quiet, even so quiet that it was almost eerie.The nursing homes hidden in the dark are like ghosts walking in the world, secretly watching the whereabouts of several people, silently.

From the Yun's ancestral hall to the outer courtyard, you have to pass Zhiyanxuan on the way.When he reached the arched door with hanging flowers, Emperor Tianshou stopped again and looked up at the big thin gold characters on the door: "Zhiyanxuan? Written by Yunci?"

Chuxiu nodded: "It was written by my late husband." Tian Shudi narrowed his phoenix eyes and looked at these three words, as if remembering Yun Ci.In the end, he only said four words from the bottom of his heart: "Heaven is jealous of talents." After speaking, a scent of medicine slowly wafted over, and it was Qian Yun who approached from the opposite side with a cup of soup. come out.The soup was steaming at night, and the smoke was very obvious, and Qian Yun's whole face was hidden in the mist.She walked very fast, and her sight was disturbed by the smoke, she didn't notice anyone on the opposite side, so she walked into the Zhiyan Pavilion.

Chuxiu didn't know what Tianshoudi thought of, but he suddenly turned his head and asked, "Who is this medicine for?" Just before Chuxiu asked Qianyun to take care of Danxin, he naturally guessed that it was the medicine for Danxin. Then he blurted out and replied, "It's indifferent."

After the words came out, Chuxiu regretted it again.There was a little nervousness on her face, she was afraid that Emperor Tianshou would be interested in Danxin, and she was afraid that he would be bitter about Danxin's rebellion... So she hurriedly explained: "The concubine's identity is just a guess."

However, this time, the emperor did not reply.Smelling the scent of medicine lingering in the air, he fell into silence again. After a long while, he asked Xiu with a half-smile, "Which room does she live in?"

After going out of Xiuxiu for a moment of confusion, I suddenly realized that the "she" in the emperor's mouth refers to the indifferent...
