Chapter 89 Night Encounter
Madam Mao thought carefully and said, "But the old lady can't make the decision on the marriage of the fifth girl. Isn't she still a legitimate mother?"
Cheng smiled and didn't laugh. He looked at her perfunctorily and said, "But the old lady can't ignore her words."
Madam Mao choked for a moment and looked at the old lady. The old lady breathed a deep breath and pointed it out directly, "From the second family, I'll tell you clearly, I'm useful to you."
Cheng frowned, "Is it useful?"
"Do you know why I came back with Jiao Niang?" Cheng shook his head and was puzzled. The old lady said in a deep voice: "I'm for Man Niang."
Cheng heard it even more confused, "Manniang? What's the matter with Guan Manniang?"
Madam Mao brought the red dates and snow clam soup. The weather was hot, and the old lady couldn't eat much recently, so she could drink some of the soup. Madam Mao also brought a bowl to Cheng. The old lady said while eating, "It turns out that when Man Niang was not pregnant, I was afraid that she would be bullied by her concubine. She had no children and her seat in Prince Xiang's mansion was not solid. So I thought about sending Jiao Niang over to help her. First, I helped her block the fairies in the mansion. Second, if Jiao Niang became pregnant, their sisters would have a support in the future."
Cheng didn't expect the old lady to have such a plan, and was shocked. She was a heartfelt and immediately understood the old lady's intention. She was afraid that Manniang would not last long, so she sent her to Jiao Niang to hold on to the thigh of the Xiang Prince's Mansion. She despised her behavior of relying on her daughter's family to seek honor.
You should know that back then, she didn't want Manniang to marry into the Xiang Palace. The Xiang Palace was a good person, but Princess Xiang was mean and tricky, and Ying Suiliang was famous. In the past few years, Manniang suffered a lot of grievances.
The old lady stirred the bowl with a spoon and made a crisp sound of porcelain collision, "But now that Man Niang is pregnant, I looked at Princess Xiang again that day. I didn't like the girl, so I stopped thinking about this."
After taking a few sips, she became tired of it again, so she handed the bowl to Mama Mao.
Cheng said: "Since that's the case, what's wrong with giving Jiao Niang to Brother Yu now."
The old lady wiped her mouth with a scarf and handkerchief. When Cheng said this, she raised her eyes and looked at her deeply, "You forgot that the girl is going to participate in the Golden Autumn Trial."
Cheng chuckled, "This is a talent show, what I don't want to lose the election is a way."
"But I don't plan to let Jiao Niang lose the election." The old lady had a long time ago, so she could not hang herself in a tree.
Cheng suddenly raised his eyes and hit the old lady's dry eyes. Because of the old lady's words, he felt unreasonable panic. "Does the old lady want her to serve the emperor? The emperor is fifty."
Behind her, she also joked with Mr. Hua to Mr. Hua about the You family in the Northern Mansion selling women for honor, and in a blink of an eye, the old lady was about to sell her to honor her for honor.
The old lady smiled and all the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes spread out, and every line seemed to be full of calculating. "It may not be the priest, maybe it will be taken by any prince or hero. But it doesn't matter who it is. As long as she can make our Hua family have a better marriage, it will be her greatest use."
She reached out to hold Cheng's hand, "Old family, don't blame your mother for not agreeing to you. Everything must be long-term. I will do it step by step for Junze and the others."
Cheng was shocked and slowly pulled his hand back. When she heard that she treated Jiao Niang as a goods, she couldn't help but wonder if it was in her eyes that her daughter was just a piece of chess piece for her to strengthen the Hua family, just a chess piece. Cheng didn't say much, but her heart felt cold.
Hua Junze’s main thing recently was to accompany Ying Che. He was surprised that Ying Che suddenly said he wanted to stay in, but he had asked him, but he was not easy to refuse.
As for why he wanted to stay, Hua Junze actually felt a little confused.
The two walked side by side and talked about He Zhiping.
"Someone from the Censorate wrote a book to him, saying that he was corrupt and abused the law and was disregarded by human lives. In order to build a house for himself, he also imprisoned the people who complained and worked as a laborer for him. His sons' crimes were also full of complaints and could not even be kept. So my old man sent me to investigate him. If it is true, he would not be able to spare him this time."
"I have heard of this, and I heard that he released the prisoners in the prison for him to build civil engineering, and he exhausted several people. But because he was the governor of the state and a chief official in the border area, no one dared to investigate him."
Ying Che smiled coldly, "The chief official of the border? He thought that the emperor was far away and wanted to be the local emperor here."
Hua Junze said: "Now with you, the imperial envoy, his good life is over." His father has been suppressed by He Zhiping over the years, and he has long been disgusted with it.
The two of them smiled and continued walking.
At this time, a servant moved flowers by. Seeing that there were few varieties of flowers, Hua Junze asked, "Where are you moving flowers?"
The servant replied: "It was Young Master Cheng Yu who asked us to move to the girl with a girl."
Hua Junze knew it, waved his hand and asked them to go, and then smiled and said, "A Yu is really attentive. He knew that Jiao Niang likes peony, so he sent it in a different way. I can't compare with such delicate thoughts." He lowered his head, stared at the upper, and peeked at Ying Che's expression on one side.
Ying Che's heart moved when he heard this, and there was no change in his face. He was silent for a little while. Hua Junze said, "That day, Your Highness came forward to testify for A Yu, which really scared me. Did Your Highness really meet A Yu in Ci'en Temple?"
"Don't you believe me?" Ying Che asked back.
Hua Junze said: "It's not that I don't believe it, it's just a coincidence. I thought Your Highness said so just to help our Hua family."
Ying Che looked ahead, "It is true that I met him." But he stood up to testify for Cheng Yu, not for him, but...
After breaking up with Ying Che, Hua Junze went to his mother's yard. When Cheng said what the old lady said, he was shocked and angry.
Their brothers were not young masters who were eating, drinking and having fun. They would have been able to take on the lintel of the Hua family in time. He knew what the old lady was worried about. The title of the Hua family was only hereditary for three generations. In their generation, if there was no one who could shoulder the great responsibility of the family, the Hua family would soon decline.
But the Hua family is not going to use their daughter to seek wealth. His own sister has already paid for her own happiness. Now, will she still have to pay for her beautiful lady’s happiness?
"I think your grandmother has made up her mind, and even your uncle in the capital cannot disobey."
Hua Junze was silent for a while and said, "It's good that way. Mother finds an opportunity to talk to Brother Yu and advise him to put away that thought."
Cheng was still a little unwilling to accept it, "Do you also oppose your cousin and the girl?"
Hua Junze said: "It's not useful if I agree or object. Even if the old lady doesn't plan like this, I'm afraid this beautiful lady has been..." The following words came to an abrupt end.
"What are you doing?"
Hua Junze sighed quietly, "Well, don't worry about this."
Cheng was too lazy to care about these things, so he told him about his marriage. When it comes to getting married, Hua Junze was one and two big shots. He really didn't have the intention now.
Cheng was talking in his ears about the girl in the city who looked like this and had a character. Her thoughts had already flew away. He remembered a girl he accidentally ran into in the capital a few months ago, and he didn't know whose lady it was.
That night, the girl couldn't sleep again. The room she lived in was a room, and it was not hot at noon. After the afternoon, the sunlight filled it up until the heat could not dissipate at night. There were also cicadas outside the window that kept ringing, and it couldn't stop it even if the window was closed, which made her unable to sleep well.
Seeing that Qinghuan was sleeping soundly, she couldn't bear to bother her, so she put on a gauze dress and quietly left the yard.
There was a cool breeze at night, and I was walking leisurely, but it was still pleasant. She walked along a row of Hehua trees that had just bloomed buds. The petals of Hehua flowers fell on her shoulders, but she did not brush them away. Instead, she took a silk squid to pick up the fallen petals and put them in a bag. Hehua flowers have the effect of sleeping, so she planned to take some back and use them as medicine to cure her insomnia.
I was enjoying myself walking like this. I saw a man standing behind a prosperous and lush Hehua tree in front of me. The man was tall and tall, and the leaves blocked his appearance. I couldn't see it clearly, and I felt that this figure looked familiar.
Thinking about who was not sleeping like her in the middle of the night, she saw the man suddenly walk out from behind the tree. Her eyes were dumbfounded, and the silk bag containing the hentai flowers in her hand fell to the ground, and turned around and left.
"Stop!" The man shouted, and the girl's legs stopped there obediently, slowly turned around, and gave a blessing to the man, "Prince Rui is in peace."
Ying Che did not ask her to get up immediately. His unfathomable eyes were staring at Jiao Niang's head, staring at her scalp numb, and then he spoke leisurely, "Get up."
The girl stood up straight, her chin against the complex embroidery of her collar, and she was as obedient as a young wife. Ying Che bent down, "Why did she run away when she saw me?"
He put her very close to her and could smell the ambergris on his body. This spice is rare. He only received a few boxes of tribute every year. The emperor did not like to use the incense and gave it to Ying Che, which shows his favor.
The sweet girl held her breath and slowly calmed down her panic. "At the middle of the night, I suddenly saw someone and was shocked. I didn't see clearly that it was Your Highness." Her voice became smaller and smaller, and in the end she disappeared.
Ying Che wanted to hear what she said, so he got closer, "Why don't you sleep so late?" His voice was low, with a touch of gentleness that seemed to be there.
The girl leaned back slightly, looked up at her, and then quickly hanged down, "It's hot, I can't sleep." She added, "I'm afraid of heat."
Seeing that she was about to lean over, Ying Che pursed her lips, straightened her body, and gave her room to breathe, "Do you like the peony I sent?"
The girl slowly raised her eyes and looked at him deeply. In the past two days, she didn't know what evil wind Ying Che had sucked. She sent peonies to her every day, and they were all extremely precious varieties, such as Wei Zi, Yao Huang, Dou Lu, Er Qiao, and Cheng Yu sent them before, so she could sell flowers directly.
