Mrs. Yuan glanced at her daughter helplessly, "Why don't you miss your own brother? Instead, you miss Brother Yi all day long!"
"Humph, the third brother has been bullying me all day long! I wonder what he is doing! I am not in the mood to have a warm face and a cold butt. Besides, the second brother is also my brother. I will be close to whoever treats me well. What's the matter? wrong?"
Mrs. Yuan had long been accustomed to the quarrels between her siblings and was too lazy to argue with her: "Okay, have you remembered what mother told you?"
"Oh, remember, mother, how many times have you told me, why should I offend my sister-in-law when I have no time!"
Mrs. Yuan scolded her, "Just don't be jealous!"
"Jealous?" Gongsun Nan was stunned for a moment, then curled his lips, "Hey, aren't there a few stinky riches!"
After saying this, Gongsun Nan felt uncomfortable in his heart. This was what Gongsun Tian, the third sister, said about her before!
It turns out that the third sister really disdains her! Then didn't the way he showed off in front of her make her look like a monkey? !
As Gongsun Nan thought about it, he became a little angry, thinking that if his sister-in-law wanted to show off to her, she would treat her like a monkey!
That’s not right, why do you admit that you are a monkey as you talk?
"Humph!" Gongsun Nan stamped his feet and walked out of Yuan's house holding the things for Gongsun Yi.
Yuan was confused, "What's wrong with this girl?"
Mother Liu on the side smiled and said: "Our second girl is simple-minded and lively, and our ideas are different. I can't guess it!"
Ms. Yuan shook her head, "She has such a temperament that if people treat her well, she will rip her heart out! Why don't you let people lie to you sooner or later?"
Mother Liu looked solemn, "Ma'am, are you talking about the prince's side?"
Yuan took off the earrings and threw them into the box, and said: "The princess is a smiling tiger. No one can find fault with her. Think about it, how can this person be perfect? It makes people feel unreal, but the princess is the only one who can find fault with her." There hasn’t been a trace of falsehood for so many years. Haven’t you heard that sentence, mom? If you can lie to people for a lifetime, then it’s not called lying.”
Mother Liu was confused by what she said, "Then what the wife means, the princess, is it true or false?"
Mrs. Yuan said "Alas", "I don't know, I can't see clearly. Even the eldest son of our family has never made any mistakes from childhood to adulthood. I even doubt that the two of them are immortals descended from the earth? But if that's the case, why? What if there is another Gongsun Zhen who can't stand up to them?"
Mother Liu said: "The uncle doesn't seem to take the position of the crown prince seriously. Besides, he is a eunuch, and now he is in a high position. What is the use of an empty crown prince?"
Yuan rolled her eyes and said, "Is it possible that there are a bunch of immortals growing up in this house? They are all indifferent and good people, but we are the only ones who are vulgar!"
Liu's mother told her happily, "It doesn't matter who they are, as long as they don't bother us, that's all."
"That can't be done. I've lost my smile to the princess for so many years. I always follow her lead, but in the end it's all in vain. I'm not even as good as a smiler!"
"It may not be all in vain. The prince's talents may not be inferior to those of the elders, but he will definitely stand out in the future. When the time comes, it will definitely be good for the third young master and the second young lady to borrow her light."
Yuan was not so optimistic, "What if the young couple doesn't like him? What's the saying? The dove occupies the magpie's nest! Don't worry about the reason for the dove. Since it occupies someone else's place, it is wrong in the first place. , if it were me, even if I don’t need the throne, I wouldn’t feel comfortable. I have to take back my things first and let them know that I don’t want this thing. If I want it, it’s mine! "
Liu's mother said, "What Madam said is true, but I don't know if the couple thinks so. Maybe we can get a clue at tomorrow's family dinner?"
Yuan took a deep breath, "I'm still hesitant. Brother Zhen is now a shining golden thigh. Since he is a member of his own family, it feels like a waste not to get some golden light, but we used to have a good relationship with the princess and her son. It's close, but now the wind has changed again, I'm afraid it will make the second-in-command who comes from a noble family look down upon me!"
"That's not necessarily the case. Grandma has to think about the future of the girl and the young master. Shouldn't the second bedroom be used? Seeing that the third girl is about to get haircut, she was just a girl in her hometown.
Forget it, the palace is in such a situation, and there are not many choices. Now it is different. The palace has come back to life, and we have returned to the capital. Can the second wife be willing to marry her daughter to any family? "
Yuan's eyes were full of lawsuits, "You mean, the second wife will go to please Brother Zhen and his wife?"
"The key point is... I think the uncle and grandma are different from the princess and the prince."
Yuan raised his eyebrows.
Mother Liu said: "Uncle, there is no need to say more, let's talk about eldest grandma. Although the Xuandehou Mansion has been silent for many years, the second master of the Li family has to be reused when he enters the court. It shows that the emperor has the Li family in his heart, and the second master Li She is really capable. There is also Mrs. Li Er. She is good at business. Even in a place like the capital, business is booming. If she is not good at dancing, how can she do it? I am afraid she is no worse than the princess, but she is Be restrained and low-key, don’t show off, and play with people’s hearts over time, no need to play with words!”
Ms. Yuan pondered for a while, "You continue."
Mother Liu added: "I just feel that the uncle, the grandmother, and the Li family are all visible and tangible. It's not like the princess and the prince, who are good but can't be implemented. I feel uneasy..."
What Liu's mother means is basically that the princess and her son are fake in everything. The whole body is shining, and it shines on everyone who sees it, but when it comes to specific benefits that fall on anyone, there is really no benefit. The princess relies on her mouth, and the prince relies on his face.
Mrs. Yuan tapped her fingers on the table, "Oh...Mom...you are such a sensible person. You are the one Dazhiruoyu is talking about..."
Mother Liu felt embarrassed when she was praised, and she thought to herself, "Do I look stupid?"
Yuan said: "I have been thinking about this for the past few days. Now that you have said this, I have accepted it! That's right! The princess and the prince are good at everything, but it makes people feel empty. Unreliable!"
So, the second wife has always maintained a good or bad relationship with the princess, mother and son. Did she already see through it?
Yuan felt a little suffocated in her heart and refused to admit that she had lost to the high-ranking Hong family. "Then... how can we hug Brother Zhen and his wife's lap naturally and without showing any trace? If we can let the Yuan family I don’t need to get some glory, but let Brother Zhen take a look at my brother’s political achievements. There is absolutely no falsehood! If the staff really relies on the evaluation over the years for transfers, my brother should have been promoted long ago..."
Those noble children relied on their ancestors' reputation and slowly smashed their money with them, and they could always hit the fifth or sixth grade. But for people like them, even if they have money, they have to work their way up based on their ability. It's not just about spending money. Things that can be solved.
