The Moon Over Tang Dynasty

Chapter 88 Anyone who comes has ulterior motives

 The Su family’s daughter and Pei Xingjian? Liuli was really surprised this time, so she showed her shock more clearly.

Ms. Cui raised her eyebrows and said, "You haven't heard them mention it?" She smiled again, "It's just an old story. That's how I said it at the beginning. It's not known whether it happened or maybe it was misinformed by others..." He turned around and picked up the embroidery sample and said, "Look at this color scheme, I always feel it's not bright enough."

Liuli could only take a few glances at the embroidery samples, "The gold thread used here is even more gorgeous. It is just for babies to make bellybands, but it is not easy to use gold and silver threads. One is too rich, and the other is the baby's skin." The most delicate ones can’t stand this.”

Ms. Cui nodded in agreement, and the two talked about the embroidery pattern for a while. Liuli tried to ask about the Su family several times, but Mr. Cui hesitated and avoided it. Liuli estimated that the heat was about the same, so she simply Looking at Ms. Cui, she said, "Do you know Mrs. Su, Madam? Liuli once heard that the son-in-law she married was somewhat incompetent, so Mrs. Yu came to teach her. Unfortunately, the daughter of the Su family was ill-fated and passed away not long after. Needless to say about Mrs. Yu’s temperament, Liuli has seen the Su family’s sister-in-law, Luo, who is also very capable and capable. Could it be that the Su family’s wife is not like this? "

Ms. Cui thought for a while but shook her head, "Mrs. Su was originally given to General Su after he turned forty years old. She is the only daughter in the family. The Su family is usually very pampered. I heard that she is a little weak, so the marriage was arranged for her. She also chose someone from a well-to-do family, and her uncle and husband were both good-natured. Unexpectedly, her husband later became obsessed with throwing money and lost badly. Madam Su was probably very angry because she was only a year away from the wedding when she left. Many. But some people say that she was unwilling to have this marriage because she was depressed..."

As he spoke, he let out a long sigh, "I have never met Mrs. Su, but I have only heard from people who are familiar with the Su family that Mrs. Su is as beautiful as a flower. She is a rare beauty in Chang'an City, with a gentle temper. , and she is extremely intelligent. No wonder Mrs. Yu went against General Su's wishes and had to plan for her daughter. However, the beauty's fate cannot be saved by human power. "

Liuli listened blankly. Cui glanced at her and said with a smile, "These are just rumors. They can't be true. Apart from anything else, a person who keeps promises is a very observant person. I heard that he used to stay in Su every day. It’s just that Mrs. Su has been in and out of the general’s house since she is a little older. She has never been there in the past few years, and she only came to have a drink when she was still a child a few days ago.”

Mrs. Yu's own daughter refused to marry Pei Xingjian no matter what, but she hurriedly offered to marry him as her goddaughter. Pei Xingjian also annoyed the Su family because of past events, but she just got better recently... Liuli lowered her head, feeling more and more sorry for the woman in front of her. Be impressed.

For some reason, Mrs. Yu's words when she first met him rang in my ears again, "If you are weak-tempered and don't have much mental courage, I will never agree to keep the promise, lest in the end you just become another person." A lady from the Lu family has harmed you as well as him." Although we still don't know what happened to the Su family's daughter and Pei Xingjian, but as long as the Su family's daughter is really weak and soft-tempered, Mrs. Yu will naturally never agree to let her marry To Pei Xingjian - if nothing else, it was Cui who came to her and said such a thing to her, I'm afraid the illness would be a minor one.

Seeing Liuli's head hanging low and not saying a word, Mrs. Cui couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth. She suddenly patted her forehead and sighed, "Looks like I'm so busy that I'm confused. After a while, maybe we can still do it." Kiss! Kiss!”

Liuli felt clear that this was about the coral. On the afternoon of the day when the Pei family sent the letter in the third year of junior high school, an official media came to propose to the coral. The target was a descendant of Xijuan Pei. She was busy after receiving the news. I quietly asked Mrs. Yu to inquire about it. A few days ago, I heard back that the man was just a distant member who made a living by collecting rent for the Hedong Duke. He was in his thirties, and the lady in front of him refused for some reason. She lived with him and divorced him, leaving behind a son. Because of this matter, she went back to Kudi's house for lunch on the last day of the year. Sure enough, Kudi Yanzhong asked about this person. He only said lightly that he had never heard of it. I was afraid that he was definitely not a direct descendant. Nor will he have an official status. Mrs. Cao's expression changed at that time - she probably always refused to let Hualu marry with too much difference, and she would be laughed at. Although Liuli had no intention of caring about who Hualou married, she couldn't watch her marry into the hands of the Hedong Duke.

When Mrs. Cui mentioned this, she smiled absently and said, "I heard my grandpa say something when I went home a few days ago."

Ms. Cui chuckled softly, "Are you talking about that Pei Laoqi? It turned out that he somehow heard that your younger sister was outstanding and had delusions. At that age, he couldn't support his own family, so he still wanted to Marrying the daughter of an official? The eldest princess just heard about this matter yesterday, so she asked him to give him a few words. The eldest princess said that since the aunt is such a character, the younger sister can't be bad, and it happens that the prince is still around. I'm looking for a good person who knows everything about me. Isn't this a ready-made candidate? If it works, will the aunt and us get married at this time? The lady has arrived at the aunt’s house!”

Liuli couldn't help but was stunned. Mrs. Cui quickly added, "Don't worry, aunt, my sister will be a serious concubine as soon as she comes in. She will have whatever I have, and I will never wrong her."

Liuli didn't know what to say for a moment. After a while, she smiled and said, "Thanks to the eldest princess's great love, Liuli is flattered." Does this golden girl really value her so much? Are you so afraid that you can get a little help from your mother's family? As soon as I couldn't find out about my distant cousin, this happened again! Since the other party is willing to spend such a huge amount of money, there is probably nothing she can do to stop her...

Ms. Cui smiled and said, "How about fate? When you become our Pei family in the future, the eldest princess will invite you to stay in our house for a few days."

Liuli paused for a moment before laughing and said, "How dare you disturb the eldest princess like this?"

Mrs. Cui then talked about how hospitable the eldest princess was, and which Zhuangzi in the Hedong Palace were the most interesting. Liuli listened, but her eyes were wandering, as if she didn't know where she was thinking. Mrs. Cui just smiled and continued talking. , and finally smiled and said, "You will know when you go there one day. If you receive my invitation, you are not allowed to refuse."

Liuli nodded, seeming to agree, and seemed not to hear what she was saying at all, but Cui didn't mind at all, "I've disturbed you for half a day, and I have to go back to restore the princess, so I have to say goodbye. Next time I’ll bother you again.”

Liuli still nodded, and when she saw Cui standing up, she suddenly came to her senses, "Why are you leaving, Madam?"

With a smile all over Cui's face, "Princess is still waiting for me." Liuli quickly stood up and sent her to the upper room. Cui apologized to Mrs. Yang a few more times and left with a smile.

As soon as she walked away, Mrs. Yang smiled and said, "What is the purpose of this prince's wife?"

Liuli lowered her eyes and smiled, "I'll give you a house and let's chat a bit."

Mrs. Yang made a sound of interest and asked, "How did you cope with it?"

Liuli smiled softly and quietly, "Of course, I accept everyone who comes." After thinking for a long time, he sighed, "Old Madam, today, Liuli may need to borrow a capable person from Old Madam. Mrs. Yang laughed and said, "What the hell, just tell them to do something."

On the second day, the Kudi family sent their maid to ask Liuli to come back to discuss something. However, Liuli actually caught a cold and couldn't move for a while. It took four days before she finally left the Wu Mansion. When she arrived at Kudi's house, , Kudi Yanzhong's neck grew a little longer with anticipation. As soon as he saw Liuli, he hurriedly sent people out and asked, "Did you know that the prince of Hedong actually sent a matchmaker to come to propose marriage a few days ago?" Let Coral be your concubine?”

Liuli nodded, "Ah Ye mentioned it, but Liuli was not feeling well that day, which made Grandpa worried."

Kudi Yanzhong sighed, "This marriage is just fine. Although it is not as good as yours, Coral is a concubine after all. Being the concubine of the prince of Hedong is not an injustice. However, Qingquan reminded me that day, Why was the Hedong Gongfu family so anxious to settle down? A distant descendant's successor failed, and the prince changed the next day. I just remembered that your aunt seemed to have said that the Hedong Gongfu and Pei Sheren seemed to be different. Discord, that’s why I want to ask you, what’s going on?”

This was what Liuli asked someone to bring to Qingquan in private. Liuli naturally knew it, but she still lowered her head and thought about it for a long time before slowly saying, "I may not believe it, and my daughter doesn't know exactly what it is." My mother did tell me that the Pei She people had not had a good relationship with the people on both sides in the early years, and told me to be more careful. A few days ago, the wife of the Crown Prince of Hedong came to the Duke Ying's mansion as a guest and told her daughter After talking for a while, the meaning behind the words was very difficult to understand, and my daughter is now even more confused than before. "

"It's just that for more than a year, my daughter has been staying in the palace, and she has understood a truth. We can't understand the twists and turns in the hearts of those nobles. There is only one thing, stick to your duty, and never do anything. Only by being greedy can you stay safe. It stands to reason that the wife of the prince of Hedong Palace has never even met her daughter. How can she decide that the distant cousin is not good enough and immediately change her daughter? I don’t know what they want to do, but it seems that Xiang Zhuang is dancing with a sword and has ulterior motives. It depends on my daughter’s wishes, so I should think twice about this matter. "

Kudi Yanzhong listened blankly at first, but then the more he listened, the heavier he felt. He sighed, "According to your opinion, it would be better to refuse this matter?"

Before he finished speaking, the curtain was raised with a bang, and Mrs. Cao rushed in with an angry look, "Da Lang, are you confused?" He gritted his teeth and pointed at Liuli and said angrily, "I knew you were upset. You are so kind, but you don’t want your sister to have a good future. Why don’t you cancel Pei Sheren’s marriage? It’s weird to talk about your sister’s marriage! How come they have ulterior motives? Tell me why!"

Liuli just looked at her indifferently, "My daughter is just discussing the matter. If my mother-in-law really thinks this marriage is good, she can accept it. But if something happens in the future, don't blame Liuli."

Her expression made Mrs. Cao a little surprised. After looking at her for a long time, she still sneered, "How wealthy and honorable the Hedong Duke is, and the Crown Prince's wife is also a decent and noble lady! You just married a sixth-grade woman." Officer, can the Hedong government still use this to plot against you? Don’t take yourself too seriously!”

Kudi Yanzhong shouted hurriedly, "My daughter is just a kind reminder, but she is overly worried. You should have a sense of what you say!"

Mrs. Cao hurriedly turned around and said, "Da Lang, although Pei Sheren has a bright future, is it possible that he can still compare with Hedong Duke's mansion? What kind of status does the eldest princess have to come to plot against a family with no foundation like ours? Then The matchmaker made it very clear that the princess had wanted to find such a person for a long time, and Coral just happened to fall into her ears. Besides, if she missed it, she would never get it again. , Our family has rejected that mansion twice, but it’s only three times. Is Dalang really determined to offend them? Dalang is also someone with errands now. How powerful is the Hedong Duke’s mansion..."

When Liuli heard this, she sighed in her heart. Kudi Yanzhong's expression changed a little. After a moment of pondering, he turned to Liuli and said, "What your concubine said is not unreasonable. We will think about the coral matter carefully." Ichiban, don’t worry too much.”

Looking at Mr. Cao's proud face behind Ku Diyanzhong, Liuli felt both funny and angry. She couldn't help but shook her head and smiled, "My grandfather and my concubine should have made the final decision regarding the coral matter. It's my daughter's responsibility to decide." As I said, I still have to go back and take medicine, so I’m going to leave now.”

Kudiyanzhong still wanted to keep her, so Mrs. Cao quickly said, "My mother is in good health. It's better to take medicine on time." Kudiyanzhong saw that Liuli's face was three points paler than usual, so he had no choice but to nod.

As soon as Liuli got in the car, Ani sneered, "Auntie, why do you bother to care about them? The prince's wife looked eager to treat others, but she didn't have any good intentions in her words. I'm afraid it wasn't a good intention to give the house to the auntie. They are so eager to take in the aunt's concubine. Even the maid thinks it's wrong, but the aunt's concubine only thinks that you have evil intentions! In this case, just let her go and save your anger. "

Liuli wiped her face gently with the back of her hand, feeling that a layer of powder could almost fall down. Looking at Ani's angry face, she couldn't help laughing, "What's there to be angry about? I said what I should say, they It's probably their destiny to do what they want. "A Ni, a maid, can see things, but her father can't. Is this called ghostly obsession? The most surprising thing is that the Cao family can actually think of threatening Kudi Yanzhong with his future, which is really a sign of progress. If you think about this, you can probably guess that the Hedong Duke's mansion wants to use coral to deal with him, right? Perhaps Mr. Cao felt that Hualu was able to bully and bully her by relying on the Hedong Palace? In this case, I won't be able to blame her in the future.

Liuli sighed and looked out the car window. Perhaps it was because the emperor and his concubine officials had already set off for Zhaoling yesterday. The road today seemed particularly empty. The carriages were running fast. However, they returned to Yingguogong’s Mansion in just two cups of tea. Liuli got off the carriage at the corner gate. Just now When I walked to the door of the courtyard, I saw a maid rushing out, "My aunt is back!"

Liuli saw that she looked wrong and asked quickly, "What happened?"

The maid's face was heavy, "Not too long after Madam left, a guard came to report that Zhaoyi had a fetus for some reason in the palace last night, and she was born prematurely!"
