【Chapter 631】The Problem of Incense
When Wang saw Zhu Yilan for the first time, his face softened slightly. She is still quite satisfied with Zhu Yilan's appearance and demeanor. is worthy of being the county lord of the imperial court, this look, this demeanor, are not found in other women. It seems that his son has a really good vision, and he has recognized her and has always refused to let go. Now, it is finally a positive result and a beautiful woman has returned. She saw that Xu Xingxia had indeed not suffered any harm, and her heart was put down, and her mood was very good. She looked at Zhu Yilan and said kindly: "This kid, thank you for your hard work." ”
In the past period of time, Lin Xiaoniang, who has a mysterious background, has been by her side every day, subtly instructing some basic manners and etiquette of the Wang family. This Lin Xiaoniang knows a lot of things, from the court to the people, obviously not as simple as the daughter of an ordinary bookkeeper. The strange thing is that even Xuan Yingwei did not investigate the exact identity of Lin Xiaoniang. Mr. Ledger does exist, and he does have Lin Xiaoniang's daughter. It's just that her performance and her identity always seem to be a little bit different.
In this regard, Lin Xiaoniang's explanation is that when she was fleeing, she was frightened and stimulated, and she couldn't remember many details. She only remembers the outline of her hometown. After investigation, Xuan Yingwei believed that the outline of the hometown mentioned by Lin Xiaoniang did exist, that is, near Mianchi County, Henan Prefecture. And there is indeed such a family in the local area, but they moved away earlier. The details that followed were not as clear as anyone else's. Xuan Yingwei's investigation ends here.
is the so-called residence and migration of the body, and after a period of time, unconsciously, the Wang family has the appearance of an old lady from a large family. The etiquette answers, even compared with the old ladies in the palace, are not inferior. There is a little more sincerity and a little less hypocrisy. If no one specifically explains, I'm afraid no one will be able to see that this old lady, two years ago, had to stay up all night weaving and worry about three meals a day.
Xu Xingxia said with a smile: "Mother, you can just call her Xiaolan." She had already decided not to go back to the capital. What happened over there had nothing to do with her. In the future, if you feel bored, or want to hear fresh stories outside, you can find Xiaolan. ”
This statement made Wang feel very satisfied. What she was not comfortable with was Zhu Yilan's status as the county lord. If she is the county lord, as a mother-in-law, her status in front of her daughter-in-law will naturally be shorter. This is the last thing she wants to see. It is estimated that no father-in-law and mother-in-law are willing to take the initiative to greet their daughter-in-law every day, right?
Now, Zhu Yilan has taken the initiative to give up her identity as the county lord and dissociated herself from the imperial court, and her scruples no longer exist. Thinking back again, Zhu Yilan's sacrifice for Xu Xingxia is really not small. Strictly speaking, there are also her father and grandfather and others. Her two younger brothers are still alive as well. Other relatives are also a large group. Under such circumstances, it also took considerable courage and determination for her to come to Xu Xingxia's side bravely.
Compare the heart to the heart, and Wang's heart will soften. For Zhu Yilan, the more he looks at it, the more pleasing it is to the eye, and the more he looks at it, the more he feels that his son's vision was really good. She took Zhu Yilan's hand and said kindly: "Lan'er, Xia Er talks about you every day, I don't know how to eat, and I can't sleep at night." Now that you're by his side, I'm relieved. This child is a bit naughty, if something bad happens, you have to be bold enough to correct him. If you can't manage it, just tell me and I'll take care of it for you. I'm his mother, I'm not afraid of him turning the sky upside down. ”
Zhu Yilan's cheeks were slightly red, and the big stone in his heart fell to the ground. When the old lady said this, she recognized her existence. And in the last few sentences, the meaning is even richer. This is quietly telling her, in our Xu family, you don't have to be tied. There are some things, as a daughter-in-law, you have to take care of it. This is still very important. Some elderly people who protect their shortcomings can't afford their sons to be disciplined by outsiders. Those who are mothers can take care of them, but those who are daughters-in-law can't be managed. Contradictions are inevitable. The old lady is giving her power publicly.
The relationship between a daughter-in-law and her in-laws is one of the most difficult relationships in the world, even for the royal family. Since the old lady recognized her existence, it would be easy to handle it in the future. I accidentally saw Xu Xingxia next to me, quietly sticking out his tongue at her. Zhu Yilan felt a burst of warmth in her heart, and she felt like a warm home. This feeling is much more comfortable than being in the palace. She said respectfully, "Yes, grandmother." ”
Wang's attention was really not on Zhu Yilan's body, and after she recognized Zhu Yilan's identity, she turned her head to Xu Xingxia and asked worriedly: "Xia'er, what happened to the gunshot just now?" I heard that the assassins were coming? Who sent the Assassins? ”
Xu Xingxia said quietly: "Mother, it is estimated that the people below are wrong with you." There were no assassins at all. Someone accidentally misfired. ”
Wang said suspiciously: "There are no assassins? How did you hear that there were still three corpses of assassins? ”
Xu Xingxia said with a smile: "Mother, there are indeed no assassins. The people below like to listen to the wind and rain, no matter what, they like to give full play to their imagination, and they can't wait to say things as if the sky is going to fall. Their purpose is to get the attention of others. Actually, there is no such thing at all. You ask the little lady to see if there are any assassins? This news must not have been reported to you by Xiao Niang, right? ”
As he spoke, he quietly glanced at Lin Xiaoniang and asked her to lie for him. It's funny to say. His son's speech may not be as good as Lin Xiaoniang's words. Lin Xiaoniang is afraid that she already knows every pore of the Wang family. It is estimated that the Wang family herself can't figure out whether she needs Lin Xiaoniang to be her daughter-in-law, or whether she needs her to be her long-term companion. It is said that the elderly are afraid of loneliness, and this is true.
I don't know why, Lin Xiaoniang's face doesn't seem to be very good. Slightly pale. Under the reflection of the light, there was not the slightest color of blood. However, her face before was not very good, and she looked a little weak. Even the Wang family had to find a way to supplement her with a little nutrition. Tonight's face was a little pale, and no one felt that there was anything wrong. After all, she is also a smart person, so she naturally knows what is going on with the assassins. It's normal to be accidentally frightened and your face is a little pale.
Receiving Xu Xingxia's color, Lin Xiaoniang blinked obediently, pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Old lady, the official is right." Some people below, when they encounter a trivial matter, they can't wait to say it as if it were a big thing, for fear that they won't be able to attract the attention of others. A lot of things that sound terrible, but in the end, it turns out that they are just rumors. It's like the last time the City God Temple in Ningxia City said that it was haunted, and everyone was very nervous, but in the end, it was found that it was just a beggar who had no food to eat, and came to steal tribute late every night. ”
"Besides, with the skills of an official, even Mo Yuegen can't plot against him, what assassin can hurt an official? There are hundreds of guards inside and outside this Qin Palace. Everyone had muskets in their hands, so where could any assassin break in? Old lady, you also know that big man Liu Chuang, who is the commander of the chasseurs. He was such a stout man, what assassin could defeat him? With him, the officials are a hundred at ease. ”
Lin Xiaoniang's words really worked, and after listening to it, Wang didn't bother with the assassin's problem. Of course, Wang was still not at ease, and wanted to say something, but it was not easy to say it to his face. Under Lin Xiaoniang's subtle influence, the Wang family gradually understood that his son's identity was different from before. There are some things that can only be said in very private situations, and when outsiders are present, they must never be said. This is a matter of the chairman's majesty.
You said that the high-ranking chairman of the committee, if he is always reprimanded by his wife in public, maybe he will have a signature action of pulling his ears or something, what do you think and what do you think about the people around him? How do you evaluate it? This is certainly not a good thing. A sense of mystery and distance has always been the only way to generate authority. This is something that no one in a position can avoid. Especially in the magical land of the East, which has not changed for thousands of years.
Xu Xingxia glanced at Lin Xiaoniang again, and motioned for her to fool the Wang family back first. Regarding the question of the assassins, Xu Xingxia didn't want the Wang family to know too much. The more she knew, the more worried she became, which might affect her health. What mother-in-law does not worry about the safety of her children? Wang's biggest heart problem was the problem of his daughter-in-law. Now, the daughter-in-law's problem has been successfully solved, Wang's heart disease is gone, and he should live a carefree and carefree life. If you add another piece of heart disease, it won't be good.
Lin Xiaoniang leaned into Wang's ear and whispered a few words. Wang's gaze suddenly fell on Zhu Yilan's body. She seemed to see something, nodded with satisfaction, and said gently: "Since there is nothing to do, I won't delay you." Lan'er, I'll leave it to you, Xia'er. There are some things that you have to pay attention to from now on. Our Xu family has two sons, and there is no incense yet, so you have to worry a lot. ”
Zhu Yilan's cheeks were suddenly hot, and she was so embarrassed that the back of her ears was red. The old lady's words are much more direct than those of the royal family, and she has not fully adapted to it. However, her current identity can be regarded as the master of Xu Xingxia's harem, and the issue of incense is, of course, the existence that she should pay the most attention to. The issue of this heir has always been of paramount importance, and there must not be the slightest sloppiness. It is normal for Wang to be anxious.
Especially with Xu Xingxia's identity, there is a big difference between having a son and not having a son. Even if she can't give birth to a child right away, she has to let someone else give birth to a son. If there is no son, the old lady will definitely not be at ease. If this problem is not solved well, she will lose a lot of points in front of the Wang family. In the end, it may be that the master of the harem is not guaranteed. She hurriedly saluted and said, "Grandma, please rest assured, Lan'er believes that there will be good news soon." ”
After receiving an affirmative answer, Wang nodded with satisfaction. Zhu Yilan is so well-behaved, she is much more comfortable as a mother-in-law. It seems that the matter of holding a grandson should be something to be done. Xu Xingxia glanced at Lin Xiaoniang and expressed his gratitude. Lin Xiaoniang suddenly quietly breathed a sigh of relief, supported the Wang family, and slowly turned around and left.
Zhu Yilan also quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and many of the original worries disappeared completely. Meeting in such a situation seems to be much more casual than meeting in a formal situation. If you follow the normal rules, you don't know how many procedures you have to have. If according to the rules of the palace, she, the daughter-in-law, does not toss for most of the day and goes through twenty or thirty rules and etiquette, I am afraid that she will not be able to see her father-in-law and mother-in-law.
And it is not easy for my parents-in-law to accept me. The princess of the Ming Dynasty or something, when choosing a husband, was basically a family with an average background. In such a family, the status of the princess is naturally the highest. However, it is not easy to have a good time. Don't think that if others are superficially respectful to you, they really accept you. That's for you. I don't know how many things I have in my mouth and belly, hiding a knife in my smile, and making stumbling behind my back. Fortunately, Wang doesn't seem to be such a person.
It's just that the old lady's level has passed, and when she thinks of the problem of incense, Zhu Yilan has a big head. After all, she and Xu Xingxia are not married yet, and it is impossible to inherit the incense in person for the time being. Moreover, with her identity, before the wedding, there was no possibility of having sex with Xu Xingxia. She believes that Xu Xingxia will not ask to have sex with her before the big wedding. However, the problem of incense really has to be solved as soon as possible. Otherwise, the old lady will have to be in a hurry.
Zhu Yilan said in a low voice: "Why didn't Tesna come?" Is it pregnant? ”
Xu Xingxia smiled bitterly and said: "I also hope it is, but unfortunately, it's a pity, Lang Zhong told me that it's not." There was something wrong with her body, which happened to be committed this winter, and she needed to recuperate quietly. I asked her to take it in Ningxia Town, and not to go anywhere. It is estimated that after the beginning of spring, the climate will warm up, and there should be no problem. ”
Zhu Yilan nodded thoughtfully. She thought Tesna was pregnant. If that's the case, it's easy to do. Now it seems that this hope is not reliable. It is estimated that Tesna's health is not very good, so she has been skin-to-skin with Xu Xingxia for so long, and she is not pregnant. It seems that new hope has to be pinned on Wuyunna's body. Uyunna's body, there shouldn't be any major problems, right? It won't affect conception, right?
