MTL - A Complete Explanation of the Negative Textbooks of the Imperial Examination-Chapter 99 Ome

"Why don't you hear what the female relatives say!" The old lady waved her hand to chase Xiao Jingduo out, "Go out, the princess is so big, how can we bully her?"

Rong Ke smiled lightly, she lowered her head and turned the tea cup without speaking.

It is easy to give others the illusion that she is gentle.

After Xiao Jingduo left, the old lady was finally able to talk about the topic of her trip: "Princess Ganning, you must know that our Xiao family moved from Zhuojun to Chang'an. At that time, Duo'er and his second brother played very well... Even now, Duo'er is always talking about it, wanting to help his second brother."

The old lady knew that rashly and Gan Ning would not be able to mention Xiao Jinghu, so she started with Xiao Jingduo, first said how good Xiao Jingduo was at home, and then said how close Xiao Jingduo and Xiao Jinghu were brothers and sisters, and finally, just like a little bit of water He mentioned it a bit: "Duoer told us a few days ago that it's a pity that Xiao Jinghu can only suffer in Yiwei. If he has a way, he is always willing to help his brother."

Rong Ke took a tea cup from the table to play with and asked, "Is this what he meant?"

"That's right!" The old lady hurriedly replied, "Although Yiwei looks bright, but the internal conflict is too serious... The old man's words are not to say that Yiwei is not good, but...Yiwei is too Well, there are all the sons of the Gonghou family, and it is very narrow to play tricks on outsiders. Hu'er has a simple and honest nature, never causing trouble, and I don't know how to provoke the sons inside, and he is very ostracized. So, We just wondered if we could let him go somewhere else."

Rong Ke laughed in her heart, these ladies were afraid that they forgot that she had a title called Yangxin before she was named princess. She probably knew a lot more than this old lady Xiao thought. Rong Ke knew very well what Xiao Jingduo spent in Dingyong Hou's mansion before, but now these people dare to use Xiao Jingduo's name to ask her for grace.

Rong Ke didn't change her expression, and said, "I didn't know this was the case in Yiweili, so naturally I couldn't stay there. In this case, let Xiao Jingduo's second brother go to the university outside the city. The battalion, where the military law is strictly controlled, can only come out once every six months, so this kind of oppression will never happen again. Moreover, the soldiers in the large battalion will be dragged into the deep mountains from time to time to train, and they should be close to them in battle. This is the best place for my son to go."

"No way!" Mrs. Xiao shouted quickly, only to realize that she was rude after she exited, she retracted behind Mrs. Xiao, and the old lady spoke on behalf of her daughter-in-law, "Although Hu'er is in Yiwei He was ostracized, but the Langjuns didn't know each other until they fought. After a long time, Hu'er also developed feelings for Yi Wei, so it's not good to rush him out of the city. Princess, look..."

"Why, do you think the way out from this hall is not good?" Rong Ke said slowly.

The cold sweat on the back of the old lady brushed down: "No, I dare not. Children and grandchildren will have their own children and grandchildren, so let Hu'er toss with this kind of thing, I don't dare to bother the princess."

The old lady Xiao said these words in a cold sweat, how could she almost forget that this is not an ordinary princess, but also the regent princess. Fang Caiqian Ning Mingming was still smiling, and his tone was not so intense, but he almost scared Old Madam Xiao's courage.

Old Mrs. Xiao did not dare to mention Xiao Jinghu again, Xiao Jinghu’s temper was spoiled by the family. The place is full of sons and brothers from rich and noble townships, and this kind of temper made Xiao Jinghu suffer a lot. The old lady felt sorry for her beloved grandson, and she turned her face down to beg Xiao Jingduo to no avail, so she had to beg Qian Ning with a shy face, but Gan Ning scared the old lady away with a few words. You can't go to places like the barracks, let alone go back in half a year. Once at home, the old lady didn't worry about her precious grandson going to that kind of place. In comparison, Yi Wei was pretty good.

No one dared to mention Xiao Jinghu for a while, for fear that Gan Ning would go back and really throw Xiao Jinghu into the barracks. The old lady smiled sarcastically and said: "Actually, Duoer is far from the time when the family is separated, but it is a good thing to be sealed as a marquis, and there is really no reason to stay in the family. I have always regretted it, and I love this grandson the most on weekdays. I'm really reluctant to not be able to see him every day. And he hasn't married yet, and such a big house has no one to take care of, what's this called..."

Rong Ke took a sip of tea: "If you are not willing, why don't you move here for two days? You are an elder, so you can't be neglected. If you come, I will let Ye Ting send ten palace maids to come over. , I made a special trip to serve you. When you return to Dingyonghou Mansion, you can also take it with you."

The old lady was startled, didn't she bring ten ancestors by her side? And it's still the kind that can't be sent away. The old lady's face was stiff: "Thank you Princess for your kindness, don't have to be so troublesome, there are still a lot of things in Dingyong Hou's mansion, I can't get out of my body, I can't come here to help Duo'er, besides, although I am an elder, I have been intervening in Duo'er. It's not good for my son."

Rong Ke smiled and said, "Yes."

So what? The old lady was startled, and then comforted herself to think too much, and said in a ramble: "Speaking of all these years, we have wanted to talk to Duoer, but he has been unwilling, otherwise, how can I use this old woman to worry about him? back home."

"He won't?" Rong Ke asked inexplicably, "Why is this?"

"We don't know either." This sentence is true, the old lady really doesn't know. She dragged the princess in front of her to complain: "Princess, don't you know, I've been worried about his marriage over the years, and I've found several girls, but he doesn't agree with life or death. He and his cousin are childhood sweethearts, according to reason. It's a good thing to be kissing and kissing, but he pushed it for no reason, and after that, he was released for four years, and he went out to fight not long after he came back, and it has been delayed until now!"

"My childhood sweetheart, it's really not easy." Rong Ke smiled inexplicably and nodded.

"Isn't that true! Speaking of princess, you haven't seen his cousin yet? She looks so happy, at first glance, it is a good life for the Wang family!"

Rong Ke knew that Mrs. Xiao was talking about Cheng Huizhen, she actually knew this person, and even placed a spy from the East Palace beside him, but speaking of it, she had never met Xiao Jingduo's cousin. What does it look like.

What does a good family look like?

And when the old lady talked about her granddaughter, it was so eloquent. She saw what Cheng Huizhen thought and how good it was, so she naturally said it to Rong Ke like this: "...His cousin has been smart since childhood. The needlework is especially good, both soft and well-behaved. I remember when they were young, Huizhen often ran to Duoer's house. Go back. Back then, Duoer had just lost his mother, and I remember that Huizhen went to cry with Dalang, don't send Duoer to the monastery..."

Coincidentally, Rong Ke also knew about it, and she even had a hand in it back then. But she didn't expect that the version inside Dingyong Hou's mansion was like this.

"In this way, their cousins ​​really have a deep relationship."

"Yes, they all say that there is no guessing between young and old. I have lived for so many years, and I don't know how many couples I have seen. When I grow up, it is better to know the matchmaker than to play from childhood to adulthood, especially childhood sweethearts like them. , grew up in one place since childhood, the most knowledgeable, the temperament is also compatible, can only live a long time after becoming a husband and wife! It's strange, Duoer Mingming and Huizhen play very well, I mentioned marriage before he was released, but he was uncharacteristically , I don't want to answer, I don't know why..."

Why, not because she said that he is not allowed to settle a marriage with her cousin. Immediately afterwards, Rong Ke placed spies beside Cheng Huizhen.

Rong Ke held up the tea cup and smiled. She was already bright and beautiful, and her smile was even more radiant. Rong Ke asked with a smile, "Now, what does Xiao Jingduo say?"

For some reason, the person on the other side was clearly smiling, but the old lady felt a little panic in her heart. "When the period of national filial piety is over, I will tell Duo'er that it has been so many years since he left. Poor Huizhen is infatuated and has been guarding at home. Although Hui is really my granddaughter, after all, her surname is Cheng and not Xiao. , it's not good to delay the youth of other girls' families in vain, presumably Duoer can understand."

Rong Ke smiled this time and didn't speak any more. Cheng Hui really knew the future. Although all she knew was about boudoir affairs, it was a heresy after all and could not be treated sloppily. Rong Ke was worried about what to do with Cheng Huizhen at first. She asked Cheng Huizhen to stay in her boudoir, but it was impossible to keep Cheng Huizhen from marrying. If Xiao Jingduo wanted to marry Xiao Jingduo, it would be a solution to both.

Anyway, Xiao Jingduo is his own person and will not let the rebirth matter leak to the outside.

The old lady and Rong Ke said this carefully, and suddenly found that the momentum around the princess became sharp, the old lady was a little scared, and whispered: "His Royal Highness Ganning?"

Rong Ke reacted immediately, turned around and pursed her lips and smiled: "I'm fine, I just thought about things. Since Mrs. Xiao has the heart to match Xiao Jingduo and his cousin, then this is also a good thing. It's just that Xiao Jingduo is now a marquis, and he is more or less a second-rank marquis, but Mrs. Cheng is only white, I am afraid it is a bit difficult to talk about kissing."

The old lady sighed: "That's right, the old man is also worried."

"It's better to let her enter the palace to be a female official for a period of time. With the status of a female official, it will be easier to say kiss in the future."

Because Rong Ke is a female regent, it is inconvenient for many close officials of the emperor, such as Buque, Supplements and other male officials to accompany him at any time, so she took this to promote female officials, from various prime ministers and third-rank officials The officials picked a few smart women and accompanied Rong Ke when they entered the palace. They organized books and made suggestions for her on weekdays. In the past, the emperor's close officials could not be measured by the size of the official rank. After Rong Ke raised this point, some conservative officials scolded, while some clever people sent their daughters in without saying a word, even if they could not actually get in touch with government affairs, they would have a good name. it is good.

Rong Ke said that this is the true identity of Cheng Hui, and it is true. The old lady has also heard that some female officials are walking in front of the imperial palace in recent days, but these people are the daughters and granddaughters of the prime minister. When will it be the turn of the Dingyong Houfu? Not to mention that Cheng Huizhen is not a serious Miss Hou's mansion, just a boarding lady.

The old lady was overjoyed and grateful. After sitting for so long, Rong Ke suddenly felt upset and got up and said, "It's getting late, this hall will go back to the manor first, so I won't talk with a few of you."

The old lady also quickly stood up and said, "Respectfully send your Highness Gan Ning!"

Xiao Jingduo walked back immediately after dismissing the guests. Rong Ke was still behind, wondering if she was tired of waiting... But as soon as he entered the door, he saw Rong Ke with a The maids went out. Xiao Jingduo paused for a while, what happened to Rong Ke, why doesn't he seem to be in a good mood?

"Your Highness, why are you leaving now?" Xiao Jingduo walked to Rong Ke in two steps and asked.

"Otherwise?" Rong Ke asked with a blank face, "Marquis Chengxi has not yet had a wife, so it is not appropriate for me to stay. I will visit later."

Where is this and where? Xiao Jingduo looked surprised: "His Royal Highness, what's the matter with you?"

"It's up to you?" Rong Ke almost finished the sentence with gritted teeth, and then left without looking back.

Xiao Jingduo stood on the spot, the setting sun hit him, pulling his silhouette extremely long.

"Green Han."

Qinghan was startled by this voice, glanced at Xiao Jingduo's face, and dared not raise her head again: "The slave is here."

"Did someone say something to His Highness?"

Qinghan sighed, as a maid from the East Palace, she still has the ability to control the field, so she had to report truthfully: "Fangcai, the old lady and His Highness talked about Erlang-Jun."

"Xiao Jinghu?" Xiao Jingduo frowned, then shook his head resolutely, "No, he must have said something else."

Qinghan was also surprised at this time. Wasn't His Highness angry because the old lady begged the princess for grace in the name of Xiao Jingduo? Qinghan tried to recall what the old lady said just now: "Other than this, the old lady didn't say anything... Oh yes, the old lady said about marrying the Hou Ye, and..."

"Wait." Xiao Jingduo interrupted Qinghan's memory, "Who is the engagement?"

"Your Majesty."

"With whom?"

"Miss Biao. Your Highness has agreed to accept Miss Biao into the palace as a female official, so as to exalt the identity of Biao girl."

The more Qinghan spoke, the lower her voice, she was clearly looking for the reason to make the princess angry, why did she feel that Xiao Jingduo was also angry?

What are you angry about? As a maid, Qing Han is really tired.

Xiao Jingduo stood there and paused for a while, finally feeling that he could suppress his temper, and then he strode back.

The old lady and others escorted Rong Ke out of the second door, and now a large group of people are walking back slowly. When they saw Xiao Jingduo coming with a cold face, they thought that something happened in the courtroom, so they silently moved out of the way, not wanting to touch the bad head, but in the end, they found that Xiao Jingduo had stopped in front of him.

The old lady and the second monk asked, "What's wrong, who made you angry?"

"Grandma, take a step to speak."

Old Mrs. Xiao became more and more confused, and followed Xiao Jingduo to the house. Seeing this scene, the people from the second and third rooms rolled their eyes and wanted to send someone to follow them secretly.

However, Mrs. Xiao just moved her hand. Before she could make a gesture, she saw Xiao Jingduo turn back and glanced at her without any emotion.

Mrs. Xiao was horrified on the spot, feeling her blood was frozen. When Xiao Jingduo and the old lady walked away, Mrs. Xiao slowly eased up.

My God, Mrs. Xiao retracted her hand and found that her palm was sweaty. Only today did she really realize that Xiao Jingduo had really been on the battlefield and killed people.

The old lady was taken to a room by Xiao Jingduo, and the maid who was serving wanted to follow up, but heard Xiao Jingduo say: "Go out."

The maid was surprised and looked at the old lady for help. Before the old lady could speak, she heard Xiao Jingduo speak again: "Don't let me repeat it a third time, go out."

The maids trembled all over, and didn't even dare to lift their heads.

The old lady is not happy now: "What are you doing, how can you call my maid? There is a sentence called, the elder's maid..."

"Grandmother." Xiao Jingduo interrupted the old lady directly and asked straight to the point, "What did you say to Gan Ning?"

"What?"

"Do you know who she is? She even dares to say such nonsense? Usually I think that you are my elder after all, so try to retreat as much as possible. Before you and I have a salary, I agreed without saying a word. Erniang, Sanniang, and their husbands came over. I also pushed aside the gathering of my colleagues and tried to support them. But I didn't expect that this would make your hearts bigger and bigger."

When the old lady asked for her salary to be confiscated, Xiao Jingduo thought it was reasonable and agreed. He has not been short of money in recent years, so he doesn't care about these external things, but the old lady has to make an inch, and now she dares to touch his scales.

This time the old lady understood even if she was a fool, Xiao Jingduo became angry when he knew that they were begging for grace behind his back and the princess. However, the old lady was unconvinced and said: "You can't write two Xiao Lai in one stroke. Since you are in the Xiao family, you have to help your brothers and sons and nephews. Who is not like this, how can one person open up the situation in the officialdom?"

"So, you use my name to ask for an official position for Xiao Jinghu?" Xiao Jingduo said, "Why don't you use Xiao Ying's name?"

This sentence hit the old lady's lifeline at once. She was anxious to argue, but Nuonuo didn't know what to say: "I... I didn't see that you were familiar with Her Royal Highness. , Dalang is an elder after all, so he can come forward and ask for a junior."

"Forget it, you can do whatever you like, I'm too lazy to care." Xiao Jingduo closed his eyes tiredly, and had nothing to say to his eccentric and paranoid grandmother, "It's just that I have set up a new door now, and if there is no major event in the future, my grandmother will not come."

Old Mrs. Xiao was stunned for a moment, then jumped: "What do you mean by that! I'm your grandmother, you dare..."

Xiao Jingduo suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were like swords. Mrs. Xiao couldn't help but shivered. She suddenly remembered that Xiao Jingduo was named a marquis because of his military exploits. I heard that he led a sneak attack on the Turkic camp, and I don't know how many people were killed directly or indirectly by him...

At this time, Mrs. Xiao clearly realized that her eldest grandson had been out of their control. Before she knew it, it grew into a towering tree, which is no longer the Xiao Jingduo in her impression.

Xiao Jingduo was angry for a moment, and then forced himself to calm down. He slowly reined in his murderous aura, and after he recovered, he said, "I'll have someone send my grandmother back to the house."

"No, we have our own carriage!" The old lady also got up and walked out tremblingly. She didn't take two steps when she suddenly heard Xiao Jingduo asking behind her, "What did you tell her about Cheng Hui?"

"I didn't say anything. It's just that the two of you are childhood sweethearts, and you are in love with each other... Waiting for Huizhen to be a female official for two years, the marriage happened."

"How can you say that, your cousin has been waiting for you for so many years..."

"She's not waiting for me." Xiao Jingduo didn't want to mention it again, rubbed his eyebrows, and said, "Since she bears the name of my cousin, it should be a good home for her It's right. In a few days, I'll find a marriage for my cousin."

The old lady originally wanted to refuse, but when she heard that Xiao Jingduo personally came forward to find a good marriage for Cheng Huizhen, she immediately turned her anger into joy: "Really?"

Xiao Jingduo was too lazy to answer, opened the door and ordered the maid to **** the old lady out.

Although Mrs. Xiao was forcibly "sent" out of the house by her grandson, she was embarrassed and still had some beauty in her heart. Although Xiao Jinghu's matter didn't work out, Cheng Huizhen got a huge advantage. First, Princess Ganning let Cheng Huizhen enter the palace as a female official, and then Xiao Jingduo promised to find a good husband for Cheng Huizhen. After the two people's commitments were connected, Cheng Huizhen would later Can life get any worse?

Thinking of this, the old lady still has some doubts. Why are Gan Ning and Xiao Jingduo not letting go of Xiao Jinghu's affairs at all, but they are so generous to Cheng Huizhen?

In the room, Xiao Jingduo himself had some headaches.

It couldn't be easier to deal with the old lady and Cheng Huizhen, but where is Rong Ke, how to solve it?

The author has something to say: after-school tutorials

Tutoring teacher: When doing questions, you must understand what the old lady's intentions are and what she wants you to do...

Xiao Jingduo's indifferent face: She wants me to die!
