Chapter 525: , Strive for
Chapter 525, fight for
Dong’s family banquet, except for the case of He Gongzi punishing Anxi, there were no other accidents. After one day, the host and the host were still enjoying themselves.
After dinner, after Mrs. Dong sent the female relatives away, she helped the old Mrs. Dong back to the yard, and talked about the banquet today.
Ms. Dong sighed while drinking tea: "Daughter-in-law is becoming less and less useful now. After a banquet, it feels like the bones are falling apart."
Old lady Dong smiled at her daughter-in-law: "You, hurry up and marry Yuan Xuan. With a daughter-in-law, you can relax."
Ms. Dong put down the tea cup: "There have been several banquets at home, does my mother have someone to value?"
The smile on Mrs. Dong's face faded a little, and she said dissatisfiedly: "The girls from the local officials' family are pretty good in appearance and tutoring, but their family background is a little worse, and some are not worthy of our Yongjia Hou Mansion. ."
Mrs. Dong: "Mother, the title of the Marquis will be inherited by the eldest brother in the future. It has nothing to do with our house. My daughter-in-law thinks we can lower the qualifications a little bit."
The old lady Dong immediately said with disapproval: “How can this be done? It’s because you can’t inherit the title of your house, so you are looking for a noble family, so Yuanxuan will be able to help you in the future.”
Ms. Dong doesn’t really value family status, but she also thinks it makes sense for the old lady. Marrying a distinguished daughter-in-law will make her son much easier in the future.
Mrs. Dong was silent for a moment: “Don’t worry, if we don’t choose a place well, we will go back to the capital to choose. Last year I wrote back and asked your aunt’s grandmother to help me see.”
Mrs. Dong nodded, and talked about the punishment of Anxi by Young Master He.
Mrs. Dong listened and sneered: "It's okay for the He family to make trouble at another family's banquet. I really think that if we transfer to the capital, we can ignore our family? The He family is still a bit powerful in the locality. But when they arrive in the capital, what can they do, I hope they won't be able to ask us to come to you in the future."
Mrs. Dong quickly said: "Mother really doesn't need to be angry about this kind of thing. Let's just listen to it as a joke." After talking, she smiled, "It's the girl of Yiyi, I really like it, if it wasn't for her today. He and the poetry help Yuan Yao, and he also points out how much noise it will make."
The old lady Dong's complexion also softened: "The Yan family girl is really good."
Ms. Dong's eyes flickered, and tentatively said: "Mother, what do you think if you tell Yiyi to Yuan Xuan?"
Outside the door, Dong Yuanxuan, who came to see his mother in trouble, was about to enter the door when he heard this. His heart was shocked, and he could not help but stop silently standing outside the door and listening to the words inside.
Mrs. Dong twisted her eyebrows and looked at her daughter-in-law: "Why do you have this idea?"
Madam Dong smiled and said, "My daughter-in-law really likes Yiyi's girl. She is refreshing, generous, and capable. She has been helping Mrs. Li's housekeeper a few years ago. Whether she gets along well with Yuan Yao, and Yuan Xuan, too I have known since I was a child, knowing the roots and the bottom."
Listening to this, Dong Yuanxuan outside the door, his eyes brightened, and the joy on his face couldn't be suppressed, and the young man standing by the side looked at him several times.
However, the old lady Dong in the room interrupted Mrs. Dong.
"The Yan family’s family background is too low. If you get married with their family, let alone help Yuan Xuan, you might have to rely on Yuan Xuan to help them, no."
Outside the door, Dong Yuanxuan frowned upon hearing Mrs. Dong's decisive refusal, and one of them couldn't help but walked in.
Seeing Dong Yuanxuan, Mrs. Dong and Mrs. Dong were a little surprised.
Ms. Dong asked: "All the guests in the front yard have been sent away?"
Dong Yuanxuan nodded, he calmed down after entering the door, calmed down, smiled and walked to the side to sit down: "I came here just to see my grandmother and mother. The banquet is so busy today. Are you tired?"
The grandson was filial, and Mrs. Dong suddenly smiled and said, "What tired you are tired? As long as you can help you choose the right daughter-in-law, even if you are tired, your mother and I will be happy."
Seeing that his son was embarrassed, Mrs. Dong and Mrs. Dong both laughed.
After the two laughed for a while, Dong Yuanxuan asked, "What were grandmother and mother just talking about?"
Ms. Dong glanced at Mrs. Dong and smiled: “It’s nothing, just talk about Yiyi’s rescue of your sister today.”
Hearing this, Dong Yuanxuan's eyes flickered, and he was struggling. He knew that the little prince liked Sister Yan, but he still wanted to fight for himself.
After all, the little prince’s marriage can't be the master by himself, and sister Yan can’t be his concubine, so if he wants to marry sister Yan, it’s not as sorry for the little prince.
After hesitating for a moment, Dong Yuanxuan smiled and said, "Sister Yan and sister have a good relationship. The two have always been in focus." He said, pretending to be casual.
"Speaking of which, the Yan family has risen really fast over the years. When I first met the Yan family siblings, Master Yan was only a county magistrate. Now only a few years have passed. Not only did Master Yan become a prefect, even Old Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Li are already Madam Mingming."
"After the literary examination, I also started to follow Master Xiao. Today my father tried to teach him a literary examination and praised him several times, saying that he must be a good material for an official in the future."
Ms. Dong glanced at her son, her face was a little surprised. His son rarely talked to them about such things. What happened today?
Thinking of what she had just discussed with her mother-in-law, Madam Dong's heart moved. Did the son hear their conversation and feel happy?
Thinking of this, Mrs. Dong smiled and followed her son’s words and said: "The Yan family has indeed developed well in recent years."
The old lady Dong is not very interested, she just said: “If a family wants to go long-term, it has to look at the success of the younger generation. It’s hard to tell by looking at it now.”
Dong Yuanxuan said with a smile: "Grandma, the Yan family brothers are certainly promising. Not to mention Wenxiu, they are Wen Kai and Wen Tao. Now they are also doing things with the little prince. They can't go wrong in the future."
The old lady Dong shook her head: "After the little prince Ma Fangfei straightens, his own future is still unknown, let alone the people who followed him?"
Dong Yuanxuan condensed his eyebrows: "No, although the little prince said that the relationship between the Prince of Peace is not very close, but the emperor treats him very well, besides, the little prince is the son of a regular wife, and the concubine Ma Fang is just a successor to the family even if he is righting. Xiao Ye Is it possible that Chen can still compete with the little prince for the title of the palace?"
Mrs. Dong looked at her grandson disapprovingly: "You, you are still too young. The royal people always have interests first. The emperor may have a little affection for the little prince, but this affection is what counts in the balance of interests. ?"
"Also, don't underestimate the women in the backyard. Concubine Ma Fang was able to force Princess Guo away and make the little prince unable to live in the palace. Now when people in the capital mention the little prince, they are almost still stuck in a bad situation. In your impression, you can imagine how powerful her methods are."
"When there was no righting right before, the concubine Ma Bian fought so hard, not to mention that now it is just right. Wait and see, the title of Prince Ping, there is something to fight for."
said, shook his head.
"Now that the little prince is in Zhongzhou, he can still avoid leisure. If he returns to Beijing, hey, troubles will definitely be indispensable."
"This man has limited energy. He is entangled in all sorts of things. Can you still count on him to have a good future?"
Dong Yuanxuan was silent: "Grandma, you don't know the little prince, you really want to return to Beijing, Ma Bianfei still wants to slander the little prince like she did when she was a child, I'm afraid it's impossible."
The old lady Dong didn’t care very much: “Maybe, but the future of the little prince is definitely not easy. Okay, let’s not take care of other people’s affairs.”
