Three hundred and fortieth seventh chapters match
King Ding is now in great power. The benefits that can bring to be friends with Princess Ding are too great. Maybe it can change a person's life. When Li thought of this, he couldn't help but ask Mrs. Xue: "Auntie, do you want to send some things to Prince Ding's Mansion to congratulate him? Or will your niece go there in person?"
Old Concubine Xue said lightly: "The gift must be given, but it doesn't need to be given too expensive. Just ordinary people don't have to go there in person. There must be many people who will congratulate you. There are no elders in the Ding Mansion. If you go there, let Princess Ding come out and ask him out, it seems ignorant."
Li thought about it and asked again: "Then the niece-in-law should have gone there. Maybe she can help entertain guests? We have relatives. The last time we met, the niece-in-law went there. Now, in the name of the elders, we are helping to clean up the trivial matters."
"No need." Old Concubine Xue shook her head slowly, "This time it is another hurdle for Princess Ding. It is natural to be better to take over. If you can't get over... Those who can help at this time can certainly give you a great favor, but the risks can be predictable. We should not be greedy for this credit."
Li showed obvious disappointment. She was not so eager for quick success and instant benefits. The reason she was so active this time was because her daughter was almost the age to say kinship. Seeing that Lewen, the princess of the county, was now difficult to say kinship, she couldn't help but worry about her daughter. The couple were both mediocre and could only rely on the Prince Guo's Mansion. Fortunately, their children were smarter, but in this Yancheng, they had no backing, whether they were going on a career or their children's marriage.
When the noble lady in the inner house dating, she was dependent on Concubine Xue, but now Concubine Xue is older and has no energy to help in everything. If she could make friends with one or two noble people with high power, it would be of great help to her son's career and daughter's marriage.
The old concubine Xue knew Li's anxiety. Recently, the noble daughters in the city made Li anxious in order to escape the marriage. Although Li's daughter Yuzhu was only eleven years old and the marriage was not a turn, the marriage seemed quite difficult, and Li was not good at socializing. The nephew was just a small official. When he was there, the couple could still live with the Prince Guo's Mansion. If he had something to do that day... I was afraid that Prince Guo and his wife would not help take care of them.
Old Concubine Xue was powerless to do anything about this. The Li couple was too mediocre and they were obedient. It would be good to rely on their own guidance to manage the city. They were old, and their nephews and grandchildren probably couldn't control them, and they still had to depend on themselves.
It is correct that Li wanted to rely on the Ding Prince's Mansion, but it is not so easy to rely on. He didn't know how to die if he accidentally died. He would be able to get along well, but it was unnecessary to get too close. The couple did not have the ability to deal with the dangers that followed.
After being poured with cold water by the old concubine Xue, Li came out in disappointment.
After leaving the small courtyard where the old concubine Xue lived, Li was a little depressed and wanted to go back to his home directly. His father-in-law and the old prince were brothers, so they were originally a family, and the mansion was connected together, but there was a narrow alley between them. Unfortunately, with a title and without a title, it is different. Now they are still a prominent prince's mansion. If they are not protected, they are afraid that they will not even be able to live in this area.
There are only a few places where the powerful and powerful gather in Yancheng. There are constantly rising new nobles, and new princes need to live in the house when they grow up. They can't let these people live in the suburbs. Therefore, the declining nobles can only move the place for others. The clever ones will sell the house at a high price when there is nothing to do, and wait for the royal family to come to discuss letting them make room, and give them a house that is about the same size but is remote. Can they still bargain with the royal family?
Her husband was just a small official and attached to the Prince Guo’s Mansion. Now, Prince Guo is gradually unable to speak in the court. The prince looked ignorant and had a little distant relationship with their family. Even Prince Guo was dissatisfied with the old concubine Xue, and then he was a little angry at them who were close to Prince Xue, so he could not rely on Prince Guo’s Mansion.
Just as Li was thinking about his thoughts, he didn't notice that a beautiful little maid turned out to her and saluted her with a smile, "Hello, Mrs. Li."
Li was startled and took a step back. Fortunately, he was supported by his maid. Even so, he was a little ugly and became a little angry.
The little maid also knew that she had caused trouble and hurriedly knelt down, "I deserve to die, please forgive me."
Li was not that sarcastic person. Since the little maid admitted her mistake, she would not hold on to others for such a trivial matter. She said, "Forget it, be careful when walking in the future and get up."
The little maid then stood up and explained: "Madam, I am the princess of the county, and I am called Song'er. The princess of the county asked you to have a gathering. After I rushed to the old concubine's courtyard, I heard the old concubine's sister say that the lady had just left, and I was afraid that I would not be able to catch up, so I took a small path and disturbed her. Please forgive me."
"Do you know what the Princess of the County is looking for me?" Li frowned. She had no friendship with Princess Guo County who had nothing to do with tea and chat. Princess Guo County must have something to do with her.
Song'er lowered her head and said, "I don't know this slave."
Li looked at Song'er at the age of thirteen or fourteen and had a very good face. He was obviously an inconspicuous little maid. There were so many maids and nannies around Princess Guo County, but he asked such a little maid who knew nothing to come to find her. He obviously did not respect people very much.
Although her heart was a little distorted, Li still did not want to make a grudge with the Princess Guo County, so under Song'er's leadership, she moved to Shi'an Courtyard where the Princess Guo County was located.
Princess Guo was sitting on the couch and was wearing it all her homely clothes. The light blue satin cotton jacket was not embroidered with a little simple appearance. It looked similar to Li's clothes, but the pair of purple jade bracelets on her wrist were particularly dazzling. This was her usual dress, and she was not dressed too deliberately and gorgeous in front of someone who was lower than her. But there must be a precious ornament on her body to keep a distance.
Although Li is not a very smart person, he has the same reminder of the old concubine Xue. He also knows that the princess of Guo County is not much different from pretending to be gorgeous in the eyes of the old concubine Xue. The same propaganda and intention are the same, but it is better to conceal it.
The Princess of Guo County politely asked Li to sit down, and ordered the maid to serve tea, and then brought out a few exquisite snacks, saying that they were newly developed in the kitchen, so Li asked him to come and try it.
Li was even more energetic. According to past experience, the more polite the Princess of Guo County was to others, the more they would ask for things. With the degree of politeness, the more difficult things they asked for.
With a sense of caution, Li was not interested in dim sum at all. But Princess Guo asked her to taste her and let her comment. She also said a few words. After all, they are all the wives of their families, and no one has ever eaten this stutter. The regular comments can be said with a mouthful.
After saying this, he slowly talked about his children. When mothers talked about their children, they always had common topics. Li thought that his children were still young and there was nothing to be a taboo to talk about, so he gradually took off his guard. In addition to having nothing to make people plot against, he also talked about his daughter Lewen because Princess Guo County talked about his daughter Lewen, sighing and looked at him but didn't look at the right candidate. He regretted that he hadn't seen each other well for two years. Now he is anxious and it is not easy to find a good candidate.
In order for her daughter to be elected to marry her, the Princess Guo was anxious to tell her daughter that she had not been selected to marry her. Although almost everyone in the city is doing this now, it has not been revealed after all, and no one dared to make an appointment with her daughter in order not to be selected.
Li always believed that Princess Guo County regarded her as an outsider and would not discuss anything with her on weekdays, but today she was abnormal and thought that she had vomited bitterness. Even the reason for the hiding of the relationship was revealed by the taboos, which seemed to be close. Li herself also has a daughter, and mothers are more likely to sympathize with people who are also mothers.
The person's heart became weaker and his guard became weaker. The topic slowly revolved around Li's daughter Yuzhu. Princess Guo County picked Li and agreed to her for a few words of concern. Then he suddenly said: "Yuzhu is now 11th, and she is not young anymore. It's time to book it now."
"Yes, I just didn't see the right child." Li was confused by the topic of Princess Guo County before, and he was used to echoing and said casually.
Princess Guo County immediately responded, "If my younger brother and sister have no plans yet, I know there is a better family."
"Who's family?" Li asked casually again, then his vigilance suddenly arose again, and he thought to himself that it was bad, why was he sobbed in? After a long time, the Princess Guo County was making a decision to attack Yuzhu's marriage. She was so careless.
Princess Guo County said kindly without a smile: "Speaking of it, brothers and sisters should be familiar with each other, Princess Ding's mother's family."
The smile on Li's face froze. Who said she was familiar with the Meng family? She had only met Princess Ding twice, and she had never even stepped forward with the threshold of the Meng family. Even if she was familiar, no one in the whole Yancheng was unfamiliar with anyone.
Princess Guo County did not seem to see the change in the expression on Li's face, and continued to say on his own, "The younger brother of Princess Ding, Meng Guang, is now fourteen. I heard that he performed well in the army and had a bright future. Many families in the city want to marry the Meng family, but the Meng family now has a high vision and most people look down on him. Now, I think of your Yuzhu, which is really a good family."
Li was shocked for a long time, and finally found his voice and said, "This Meng family's military generals have never had any contact with our family. Although our master has a small official position, he is also a civil servant after all. I'm afraid this is not suitable, right?"
