Chapter 463: The housekeeper is so tired
Until the sunset, Ning Xianbi was still holding her son and staring at the door. Suddenly, she felt her shoulder tightening. When she looked back, she turned around and found that it was Mrs. Xue. She sighed and said, "Go back. Qianshan is going to fight. It's better than being locked up in the sect's mansion? Didn't you say you won't go for too long this time? When he returns triumphantly, I'll ask you to come here to wait for him early in the morning until he comes back. Now we are going back. He is not here, and this year's life will be passed. We are pretty good, and we've sent him. Look at his father, he hasn't come back yet. Really, his son has gone to fight... He doesn't say he's back to send him off." As he said, he wiped his tears with a veil.
Ning Xianbi hurriedly said, "The master is so busy. I guess Qianshan has already done a goodbye with the master before, so the master has not come back today." As he said, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law left with support.
Shen Mao, who was talked about by them, was standing on the palace gate at this time, looking in the direction of the East City Gate. There was no one around, and no one knew what the old man was thinking.
"So it's here." But I heard a sound behind me. When I looked back, I saw Ning Shibo coming over and laughed: "Xiaguan just came out of the imperial study room, but when he arrived at the cabinet, the cabinet was not there. No one knew where you went. I guessed it a little, thinking that it should be here. Sure enough, I found it."
Shen Mao smiled slightly and said, "You have been exhausted these days, aren't you? I've lost weight, but fortunately I'm in good spirits."
Ning Shibo smiled and said, "Yes, I'm happy to lose weight now. It's better than those guys who can only eat well at home by drinking to relieve their sorrows." After saying that, he came to Shen Mao. He looked at the east city gate from afar and murmured, "General Shen must have left the city now, right?"
"Yes, he always goes out of the East City Gate when he goes out of the city, but he is used to being at the South City Gate when he comes into the city." Shen Mao smiled slightly, then sighed: "Now everything is settled, and only Ningxia Jinyue is the two major concerns left. If they can be completely crippled this time, then the Daqing Dynasty can be guaranteed to be safe for decades."
Ning Shibo nodded and said, "No? Otherwise, the emperor would not be so inhumane. He sent him to the war so quickly, and he would not lose his chance. After all, Marshal Jiang is old, and General Shen's reputation and prestige in the army cannot be replaced by anyone."
Shen Mao nodded silently and sighed for a while, "Okay, it's useless to watch more now. Let's go down. The autumn wind in the evening is also very cold. Let's stop catching a cold, but it will be a joke." As he walked, he asked Ning Shibo, "You have met the emperor just now? How is he? I think he is becoming more and more capable now. Didn't you tell him to find out the mistake, right?"
Ning Shibo laughed and said, "It's good, it's okay. Fortunately, it's a mistake. In front of me is Lord He from the Ministry of Works, which made the emperor find several mistakes. In the cold weather, I saw him stretching his sleeves to wipe his cold sweat. The emperor is getting more majestic. Even though he speaks as calmly as before, he always feels full of oppression for no reason."
Shen Mao smiled comfortably and said, "That's it. As a king, it should be like this. In fact, the Supreme Emperor is not so arrogant and powerful, just because he became the emperor. There is nothing he can do. By the way, have you heard any rumors? It seems that the palace is much more lively now. The Supreme Emperor and the Empress Dowager don't know what to do, and the Emperor and the Empress Dowager still have to watch every day?"
Ning Shibo said strangely: "I haven't heard of this low-ranking official, why? Did the Master of Ge hear anything? Why did you ask the emperor to watch every day? Isn't the Supreme Emperor... Isn't he voluntarily abdicated?"
Shen Mao shook his head and said, "I don't know the specifics, but one thing is certain, probably not because of the throne. I'm afraid there is another hidden truth. Last time I relied on my uncle to ask the emperor, but I was amused and crying when I saw him. Somehow, I always felt a little uneasy in my heart. You don't know that the Supreme Emperor had not become the prince yet, but he was also a fearless person. I'm afraid that he would not make any trouble after he was the emperor."
"What a mess?"
Ning Shibo couldn't help but feel a little sweaty on his head. Using such an adjective to describe the Supreme Emperor, he was really uncomfortable. He thought about the emperor he had met in his mind and found that there was no sign that he could be worthy of the word.
Shen Mao smiled slightly, knowing that it would be difficult for anyone to accept this statement, so he didn't say much. He then changed the subject and said, "Although the government is busy, you should worry about the things that children should worry about, right? I have been to Liaodong for so long before, but now I've been busy again after returning. My family should have complaints."
"No, never." Ning Shibo smiled and waved his hand, then said seriously: "The official has asked his son to buy a betrothal gift at home, and he wants to go to the Prince's Mansion to hire him before the New Year."
Shen Mao smiled and said, "Well, if this is the case, you can get married after the New Year. I remember when I talked to Lord Fang before, it seemed that there would be many good days next year, especially after the beginning of spring, you can ask him to choose one. Both children are in love. Originally, I was probably hoping that your father would come back and you can decide to get married immediately. Who would have thought that when you come back, the wedding date is far away. Don't let both children blame you in your heart."
"Yes, the official understands." Ning Shibo thought to himself, look at what the Master said, it turns out that I have become a burden in the eyes of those two children now.
Shen Mao went back and told Mrs. Xue about the news. Mrs. Xue smiled and said, "The serious master should also remind the in-laws, otherwise the eldest lady and the princess would be anxious and could not say anything. Since this way, I will tell the eldest lady to go tomorrow and make her happy."
Shen Mao nodded, thought for a while and said, "It's okay, but the ancestor's birthday is coming. The ancestor is 75 years old this year, and it's the birthday. When our family is in good health, you can discuss it with your sister-in-law and have a big deal."
Mrs. Xue smiled and said, "It's not that I have discussed it before? I don't want to have a big fuss about my ancestors. But my eldest wife and I understand in our hearts that this is impossible for our ancestors and us. Now that our family has risen, how can those officials who are tempted by the enemy come and make friends quickly? Especially in the past, they watched one by one, and if they don't quickly remedy it, it would be strange if they have to raise their relationship."
Shen Mao smiled and said, "Just understand. It is natural for people to compete with the flames and possess the power. How many people with character are there? We can meet a few more when our family is in trouble, and that's good."
Mrs. Xue smiled and said, "I'm fine, I'm afraid that when Shaoyao hears this, her head will get bigger again. She moved back before, but she was tired for more than ten days, so she even shouted that she couldn't bear it."
Shen Mao smiled slightly and mentioned the daughter-in-law. He was also satisfied from the bottom of his heart. He nodded and said, "That was just a shout. I have watched coldly for so many days. Her housekeeper is stronger than the concubine before Qianshan, and she is not arrogant. Although she is young, she understands the principle of giving both kindness and power. This child was not simple before, but now she looks even better."
Mrs. Xue also said, "No? I said so too. In the past, Caizhi... When she was there, the mansion was good, but the servants were afraid of her and did not respect her. Now that my daughter-in-law is in charge, it makes the servants respect and fear. I talked to the eldest wife in private, and she said that the two are the most difficult to balance, and what can be done is good. The child Shaoyao is actually capable, just lazy."
Shen Mao was a little strange when he heard her say this. He turned around and smiled, "Madam used to dislike her daughter-in-law the most..." Before he finished speaking, Mrs. Xue glared at her slightly and heard her whisper: "I have done such a blinding thing in my life. You are still unwilling to let it go, right? I always mention it. Yes, I used to dislike my daughter-in-law, but after so many things, I think she is very good and getting better and better. Does the master think it is not possible?"
"Okay, why can't it?" Shen Mao said with a smile, but he sighed in his heart, thinking that he had learned from his daughter-in-law? Now he is much more powerful. But I occasionally mention it today, and it becomes "I always mention it." The conscience of heaven and earth, where did I mention it before? It was just that today's words were spoken.
This is just a joke in my heart. In fact, Mr. Shen felt that although he was an old couple, if he did this occasionally, it would be more interesting than respecting each other.
In a blink of an eye, the eldest princess's birthday was approaching.
In addition to busy birthday celebrations, two days before this, Ning Xianbi also accompanied Princess Xue and Princess Tang to Baiyun Temple to fulfill her vows. Princess Dacheng was very sincere in worshiping Buddha. When her family was in a downturn, she still recited scriptures day and night to pray for her family. Now she has made a comeback and is even more glorious than before, so she naturally has to thank the Bodhisattva for her blessing.
After settling for the day to go to Baiyun Temple, all the people were busy all the time. Qinglian, as the capable housekeeper next to Ning Xianbi, was no exception. Because of the number of car and sedan chairs this day, when he entered the house, he saw Luhua waving his hands quietly. Qinglian understood, so he took a light step and walked up to her and asked quietly, "Is grandma sleeping?"
Ning Xianbi is now the princess, but there is a princess in her family, so she still follows the old rules and calls her grandmother.
Luhua smiled and said, "I'm not asleep. I just came back from somewhere. I was so tired that I fell on the bed and said I didn't want to move. I was about to go in and search for clothes. But when I saw that I was sleeping, I came out quietly again."
Qinglian nodded, and suddenly heard Ning Xianbi's voice sounding inside, "Oh! Why do you have to be so bad? Otherwise, so what if I forgive you for a while? Now I know why men in a big family want three wives and four concubines. It's not for the sake of the blessing of the whole family. It's just that women are the housekeeper." (To be continued.
