Chapter 23
Mrs. Li Guogong was stunned.
"King of Chu?" Why did the King of Chu ask about this?
Or, how did the King of Chu still remember this?
The King of Chu was a powerful and powerful official in the court and his majesty relied on. He could even remember the storm caused by the dispute over wives and concubines in a Duke's mansion.
"The prince really asked that?"
"No. The prince clearly asked the girl named Jiang Huan. Our Duke came back and said, your face was green." Mrs. Fan and Mrs. Li Guo, who had a good relationship with her, held her hand and whispered, "And it was in the court. On the spot, the censor wanted to participate in the inner curtain of your family. You also know that now, these censors are staring at us, the powerful families, and want to find something to gain a reputation that is upright."
What does the censor do? Supervising all officials also impeaching all officials. The more powerful the target of this impeachment, the more it can show the character of the censor.
Earlier, although Duke Li Guo had these facts about the outdoor room, the censors did not think so.
Are there fewer families in Kyoto who love concubines and kill wives? Impeach them one by one, and the censor will be exhausted.
But Duke Li is different.
This is obviously named by the King of Chu, in other words, quite typical.
Therefore, Li Guogong almost participated.
Thinking of the things that the Duke of the Country came back to say, Duke of the Country Fan pushed Duke of the Country Fan and whispered, "Don't be soft-hearted. Chu treated you so much, and there was no sisterly affection at all! Now, it's just right that you can take advantage of the prince's inquiries about this matter and beat Chu's arrogance! A family like us would definitely not ask such a vicious woman to come in. Just ask her to stay outside for the rest of her life!"
As a good wife, she was naturally on the same boat as Duke Li Guo’s wife, and said sneered, “It just happened that the prince would tell the prince to tell the matter about Jiang Huan, and let the men in our house take a look at what kind of virtues the children of those concubines and servants are!”
These family members have suffered from their concubines and sons on weekdays and cannot count the amount of idleness. Now they are called the Chu mother and daughter to be defeated, and even if it is not their own business, they are happy.
"Our Duke has always been the most shameful person." When Duke Li said this, he did not feel sorry for Duke Li, but instead he smiled a little.
When Duke Li, who was most shameless, looked at the daughter of the outdoor room and the outdoor room in the court with a dumbfounded look at the King of Chu who was greeting him openly, he was very satisfied with the shame of his eyes from all directions.
What's more, everyone in the court wants to have an impression in front of the King of Chu, so that they can be promoted by the King of Chu in the future and have a place in the court.
Duke Li did it too.
He did sign up in front of the King of Chu.
But I believe Duke Li really doesn't want this impression.
"The Tai'an Marquis Mansion is also disgusting. I heard that the Chu family has been in and out of the Tai'an Marquis Mansion recently. What does this mean? Could it be that the Tai'an Marquis Mansion still want to support the Chu family?" Duke Fan sneered, "Mrs. Tai'an Marquis also wanted to visit my mansion. I saw that, I wanted me to be a matchmaker for her eldest girl. But now I'd better let her do it. Let her go and arrange it myself."
Mrs. Fan Guogong is a very enthusiastic person who likes to be a mediator and is also in Kyoto's noble families. She likes to joke and has a good relationship with each family and abbot. Therefore, these aristocratic families like to invite Mrs. Fan Guogong as a mediator.
Since she said that Tai'an Marquis' Mansion was not good, she really didn't want to be a matchmaker for the Chu family.
The wife of Duke Li Guo just listened to it.
It is impossible for her to speak for the Chu family.
The old lady and Yan Ning were soft-hearted and gave Mrs. Tai'an some information, asking her to arrange the marriage of the Chu girl in advance. In the eyes of Mrs. Li Guogong, this was the only thing the Jiang family could do. However, she did not expect that she wanted everyone to come and make Jiang Huan famous, but she did not expect that the King of Chu had already helped Jiang Huan become famous in Kyoto.
There was a smile on the corner of her eyes and she started to laugh with the wives she had made for years. After talking for a while, she saw Duke Fan secretly blinking at her.
This is obviously something to say, so Mrs. Li Guogong came out with Mrs. Fan Guogong through changing clothes.
The wife of Duke Fan has a round face and is very festive. Because she gave birth to four sons for Duke Fan, she could stand firmly in Duke Fan's mansion, even if Duke Fan's concubines were crowded, she could not shake her position.
What's more, the power of the Duke Fan's mansion is in the hands of Duke Fan's wife. The food, clothing and expenses of the concubines depend on the face of Duke Fan's wife. Therefore, Duke Fan's concubines are more powerful than Duke Fan's wife.
Therefore, Mrs. Fan lived a good life, so she smiled all day long, looking at her joyful and cheerful, everyone also liked to get close to her.
However, Mrs. Li Guo did not dare to underestimate Mrs. Fan Guo Guo.
One is that she has three sons, and maybe she will have to help Duke Fan as a matchmaker in the future. Another is that Duke Fan has countless concubines, but only the children born by Duke Fan’s wife are standing by, and the other concubines have no descendants at all, which is very amazing.
"What do you have to say?" She was coming out with Mrs. Fan when she saw a petite figure wearing a big cloak walking through the corridor on one side and running over. A clear and childish face appeared under her snow-white fox fur hood.
The little girl was holding a very steep and bright red plum, with a snow-white face and a red red plum illuminated on her face, which made her look particularly beautiful. The little girl was so happy and energetic today. She happily held the red plum and rushed to the Duke of Li Guo and shouted, "Grand Aunt!"
"I ran around after getting better." Duke Li smiled and held Yan Ning's hoodie, and said to her, "Why didn't you pay me a favor to Duke Fan?"
Yan Ning just now held the plum blossom and ran towards Duke Li wholeheartedly, but did not see Duke Fan. When he saw him, he hurriedly paid homage to Duke Fan and said a little shyly, "I am rude in front of you."
She is delicate and timid. Even if Mrs. Fan smiled, she still made her feel embarrassed. However, although she was timid, her daily upbringing was still there, so she would not be very disgusted in front of outsiders. She raised her head and smiled at Mrs. Fan and said, "I'll disturb my wife and aunt. Then I'll come again later."
"What are you doing here?" Mrs. Fan asked with a smile, pulling her and asking.
Yan Ning pursed her lips, glanced at Mrs. Li Guogong, and said happily, "The plum blossoms outside are blooming just in time. I picked one of the most beautiful ones, and I want to enjoy it for my aunt." Her eyes fell on Mrs. Li Guogong, with full attachment and admiration, and obviously she was sincere and filial to Mrs. Li Guogong.
Mrs. Li Guogong couldn't help but feel soft in his heart and asked with a smile, "Have you sent it to the old lady?" Her eyes were very loving. Mrs. Fan Guogong looked at the two of them and couldn't help but her eyes lit up. Hearing Yan Ning nodded obediently and said, "It's already given away. The old lady said it's very good. Auntie, I'll leave it to my aunt first, and I have to send it to my cousins."
"Then you go quickly." Mrs. Li Guogong called the maid beside him and asked Yan Ning to go play by himself.
Yan Ning hurriedly gave blessing to Mrs. Fan again, and then he helped Fu Dong, who was now more careful in her care, and left happily.
"Aning is also a big girl now." Yan Ning was born well, and Mrs. Fan was naturally not blind. At this moment, she exclaimed. Thinking of Mrs. Li and Yan Ning as if they were biological mother and daughter, she couldn't help but ask with some concern, "I dare not ask about your big girl's marriage, and you should know it in your heart. But this child, what are your constitutions?"
Seeing that Mrs. Li Guo looked over slightly, Mrs. Fan Guo Guo Guo smiled and said, "This child has a weak temper and is also a charming and raised temperament. If your husband can't choose well, I'm afraid..." She coughed and continued with a smile, "She is about to grow up now, and you have to think about her marriage as an aunt. Now, every family in Kyoto is not a girl, every family has not yet grown up, so as not to be confused when porting their husbands, or to be less picky and regret it in the future."
Although Yan Ning has not yet gotten married, she should have looked like this at this time.
Otherwise, if you wait to consider these things when you are waiting to get married, it will be too late. Those good children who match their age will be picked out.
Mrs. Fan Guo was truly enthusiastic.
Because he loves to be a mediator, Mrs. Fan actually considered Yan Ning and really thought there were a few good ones.
"She is still young. You also know that this child has a rough life. Our old lady will inevitably feel sorry for her and cannot bear to let her get married early." Duke Li paused and said gratefully to Duke Fan, "It's hard for you to think about my Aning. Although her marriage is still young, I would like to ask you to see more for her. She is weak and pure and can't be the eldest daughter-in-law of a wealthy family." She was afraid that her selfish intentions would settle Yan Ning and Jiang Wei, and then there were better people in Kyoto than Jiang Wei. If Yan Ning was called Yan Ning, he would not get a good job, so he wanted to help Yan Ning look at him more. Anyway, even if other people's family was not good, Yan Ning had the retreat of Jiang Wei.
Jiang Wei is her third son, and she is still early to get married, so she can naturally wait for Yan Ning.
"I have been a matchmaker for a long time. Don't you understand this? Okay, then I'll take a look everywhere. Don't worry, you will definitely not be so arrogant that Aning will be embarrassed." Mrs. Fan actually likes Yan Ning very much. She thinks that such a weak little girl is best for herself to be her youngest daughter-in-law. She has a weak temper and is not mean, and is innocent and innocent, so she will not have any conflicts with her sister-in-law. She just lives a very good life with her younger son with peace of mind.
However, Mrs. Fan still didn't say this because she looked at Mrs. Li, who seemed to have considered it. She smiled and said to Mrs. Li, for a while, before she greeted several female relatives from the noble mansions and left together.
When she left, Duke Li Guo's wife supported her forehead and thought about it. After all, she felt that Yan Ning had already turned thirteen after the New Year and Xu Sui'er, and was about to get married in the blink of an eye, so she called Yan Ning to her.
Seeing that Yan Ning was in a good mood today, she was grateful to the imperial physician who came to take care of Yan Ning, so she smiled at Yan Ning and asked, "Aning... do you think your cousin Awei is good?"
Her smile was warm and kind, and Yan Ning was stunned and suddenly blushed.
