Chapter 322: Do You Love Your Eldest Grandson or Your Younger Grandson?
"Didn't you say that I agreed to paint the shadow wall?" Mrs. Tai knew what the mother-in-law was talking about and said displeased.
The courtyard was originally used to house the princes of the Xingguo Palace in the past dynasties. It has been empty for so many years. Now, in order to grant a title to his eldest grandson, it is imperative to let him live in this courtyard.
Then the words on this shadow wall must be cleaned.
The current prince lives in the courtyard, but the words on the screen wall at the door belong to the previous prince, and the two are not in a father-son relationship. This makes people extremely uncomfortable, and it also has a bit of bad luck.
Mrs. Tai is very fond of this promising eldest grandson, and of course she does not want her eldest grandson to be criticized. Moreover, the old man has always been more concerned about such bad luck. An important reason why he did not fall in love with Princess Qinghua in the first place is Because Princess Qinghua's biological father died early, the wife thought she was an unknown person and was unwilling to let her enter the Xingguo Duke's mansion.
Even if there is Princess Ruian behind her.
"Master Hao won't let me paint, and he just made a big fuss in the yard. Madam doesn't know what to do!" the mother-in-law said helplessly.
"What, Hao'er is back, where is he? Why don't you let him come to see me?" Madam Tai did not expect that the eldest princess Ruian would let Shao Yuanhao come back, and immediately said with great surprise, but she didn't care about Shao Yuanhao's big trouble. Shao Yuanhao made a lot of trouble when he was in Xingguo Duke's Mansion!
"Master Hao left again!" the old lady said eagerly.
"What, you actually left? What's going on? Hao'er didn't come to report even after he came back!" Madam Tai was furious.
"It's not that I didn't come to report this. Young Master Hao had been playing outside and not entered the inner courtyard before. There were many guests coming and going today. Madam didn't notice it. I noticed that Young Master Hao had already made a fuss in the inner courtyard. After that, He even smashed the ink bucket angrily and then went back to Princess Ruian’s Mansion!”
The mother-in-law felt bad and knew that the madam was angry, so she immediately explained.
"Why don't you keep the person?" the Tai Furen said angrily, with an ugly face. Shao Yuanhao had grown up beside her since he was a child, and he was a child without a father and mother. The Tai Furen felt particularly sorry for him. If it weren't for Ruian The eldest princess is powerful and says that Shao Yuanhao is her only relative, and the madam will never let him go no matter what.
"Master Hao was very angry at the time, and no one dared to stop him. He also said that no one was allowed to paint the shadow wall, otherwise he would not be polite, and would even lead Princess Ruian to the door. The one who came up, he said he would send people to tear down the wall in a few days and then move it to the Grand Princess's mansion!"
The mother-in-law smiled bitterly, with deep wrinkles on her face.
"This kid just said childish things!" The wife sighed, and her anger was calmed down by Shao Yuanhao's childish words. How could that wall be moved out of the Xingguo Duke's Mansion? If it was really demolished, it would not be the same as before. The wall has been destroyed, not to mention that the fonts on it cannot be preserved.
At this time, Mrs. Tai felt that Shao Yuanhao was ignorant and would say such a thing.
But now that she had said this, Mrs. Tai felt a little hesitant. She frowned tightly and leaned back, "Then why don't you paint that wall? This is Hao'er's only thought!"
"Mrs. Madam, what do you think the eldest son should do? The crown prince has not yet ascended the throne. The news coming from the palace is because he feels that our eldest son's name is unfair. That is the courtyard where the crown prince lives. Is it possible that the prince's position should be changed? That yard will always be empty?" the old woman said with a smile.
These words touched the most important thing in the heart of Mrs. Xingguo. How could the position of the heir apparent of Duke Xingguo be pushed down again and again just because of her own thoughts?
Of course she felt sorry for her little grandson, but she liked her eldest grandson even more.
The eldest grandson, who has always been decent and polite, is the pride of the Xingguo Palace and is as popular with the dowager as the eldest granddaughter.
Comparing this, the grandson's position has to be further back. However, if Shao Yuanhao never comes back, he will be regarded as the heir of the eldest princess Ruian. His son is married rather than married. Thinking of it, At this point, the wife was both angry and annoyed. She just felt that the eldest princess Ruian was going too far.
Obviously Hao'er's surname is Shao, and he is indeed a bloodline of the Xingguo Duke's family, but because the eldest princess Ruian has no other relatives, she and Hao'er are separated from each other.
I don’t know what the eldest princess Ruian said in front of Hao’er, so that Hao’er didn’t come to see her immediately even when she arrived at Xingguo Duke’s Mansion, which made her angry. Thinking about this, she felt more and more that Shao Yuanhao Following Princess Ruian is not a good thing.
But she couldn't get Hao'er back. Although the Queen didn't say it clearly, her meaning was clear. She said that the eldest princess Ruian now has such a relative by her side. She asked Shao Yuanhao to be raised by the eldest princess Ruian. As for what will happen in the future, Let’s talk about it later, besides, Haoer himself is still willing!
Just these few words left the Dowager speechless and unable to find anyone to reason with.
The Queen Mother said this, and it should be the Queen Mother who also spoke. Princess Ruian has always had a very good relationship with the Queen Mother.
Mrs. Tai felt very aggrieved, and she felt more and more that her original decision was right. Princess Qinghua herself was not destined to live long, and her own son was also unlucky. Now, even her two children have not survived. Extremely bitter.
In Mrs. Tai's heart, she already regarded Qin Yuru as her own granddaughter.
"When I politely accept the maid from the Qi Mansion as my adopted daughter, you can send me a pair of jade bracelets and say it's my wish. As for Yuru, you can also send a pair and choose the one in my warehouse. A pair of blood jade." Madam Tai ordered.
A pair of jade bracelets from Qi Rongzhi and a pair of jade bracelets from Qin Yuru. They sound very fair, but the meanings and gifts are very particular.
Qi Rongzhi became the adopted daughter of Mrs. Xingguo, and also the adopted granddaughter of the Tai Madam. On such a day, it was appropriate for the Tai Madam to give a gift.
But Qi Rongzhi, who was adopted as her granddaughter, only got a pair of ordinary jade bracelets, while Qin Yuru, as a guest, got a blood jade bracelet that was many times more valuable. This originally represented the meaning of the dowager, or represented the rejuvenation of the country. The meaning of the government.
"Just say that I have a fate with her and like her very much!" The madam closed her eyes for a moment and said thoughtfully. The madam felt that this was the only thing she could do for the time being. I believe that Mrs. Xingguo will understand that for this daughter-in-law, she She was very satisfied with it, and it was her biological niece. She originally wanted to order it for her eldest son.
Even in order to marry his eldest son, he took him to his house early, thinking about the friendship of raising their childhood sweethearts. Unexpectedly, his eldest son met Princess Qinghua, and in the end he even asked for marriage. Princess Qinghua, regardless of her own wishes, went to the palace to ask for a marriage from the emperor.
Every time she thought of this, Mrs. Tai felt unhappy and felt sorry for her niece.
Fortunately, he still has an obedient second son, and fortunately, his niece still obeys him and obeys the emperor's orders. After crying in his room for a few days, he promised to obey his orders. .
The wife was satisfied with her and felt guilty at the same time, and was reluctant to let her go, so she could only assign her to her second son. In the eyes of the wife, her second son could not be compared to her eldest son in any case, no matter it was In appearance or other aspects, they are far inferior.
Unfortunately, things are going wrong, and the final position of Duke Xingguo fell to the second son. Thinking of this makes Mrs. Xing sad, but she also feels that this incident is undoubtedly a compensation for Mrs. Xingguo.
Finally, she was able to get the position of Duke Xingguo's wife. This may be God's will. Her niece is the legitimate Lady of Xingguo. After all, her eldest son went against her will and God's will. You will suffer such evil retribution!
Thinking of this, the lady clasped her hands together and recited the scripture in a low voice.
"Yes, I'll be there soon!" The old lady nodded and said, seeing the madam closing her eyes and chanting Buddha's name, she winked at the maids on the side.
Several maids all moved smartly.
He took out a scripture, a string of Buddhist beads, and a small wooden fish, and placed them in front of the madam. After that, the maids withdrew respectfully.
The lady closed her eyes and put the beads on her neck. She skillfully picked up the wooden fish at hand and knocked it gently. She silently recited a passage in her mouth. She forgot a few parts before she opened her eyes and looked at herself. He read the scriptures in front of him and continued to read.
The mother-in-law also quietly stepped out and whispered to the maid standing at the door: "Madam is reciting sutras inside. No one is allowed to disturb you. If Madam has ordered, go in and serve immediately. I will go outside to serve Madam." Give me a bracelet!”
"Yes, Aunt Yu!" Several maids bowed their knees respectfully.
Grandma Yu looked at the madam behind her again, and saw the madam sitting on the couch with a solemn face and chanting sutras in a low voice. She knew whether she would stop for a while, so she turned and left.
Qin Wanru searched all the way but couldn't find Qin Yuru, so he turned back. Halfway through, he saw many ladies and ladies going in the same direction. He heard that the marriage recognition ceremony of Duke Xingguo and his wife had begun. In the flower hall over there, there were also Just go forward with everyone.
Along the way, there were more and more people on the road. Everyone knew the news and were rushing out in that direction!
Qin Wanru mingled with the crowd and followed them to a flower hall, a large flower hall, but it was not the previous one.
From a distance, I saw that my grandmother and Shui Ruolan were both on it. Although it was not the main seat, it was quite close to the main seat. There were seats lined up by the wings, and there were some smaller seats behind the front seats. The chairs in No. 1 are for the ladies who come with the ladies from various mansions.
Coincidentally, Qin Yuru had already arrived, right behind the old lady.
A little maid stood at the door and looked around. When she saw Qin Wanru appearing at the door, she immediately walked through the crowd and said to Qin Wanru with a smile: "Second Miss Qin, you are here. The old lady of your house, please hurry up." Get over here!"
