Queen Xiaoxi

Chapter 264 Xitara Gangan’s plea

Miao Xian was sitting in her room, looking at her private room.

Miao Xian touched two pieces of fine silk and said to Caihe, "Sure enough, the silk in this palace is finer and brighter than the silk outside."

"No, I am still thinking about you, young lady. Otherwise, how would we have these good things." Caihe, who was born in the family, flattered Miaoxian.

Miao Xian said with a smile: "From the items that the empress admired, I took a pair of gold-headed noodles, a pair of silver-headed noodles, a pair of enamel vases, two pieces of grosgrain, and two pieces of double-layered brocade."

"Miss. What are these?" Caihe asked strangely.

Miao Xian curled her lips in the direction of the main courtyard and said, "It's not just for the rich lady. It's not like you don't know that this young lady in our family is amazing. As soon as the marriage was settled, my wife I am hurriedly preparing the dowry box. I wish I could send the entire Xitara mansion to my daughter."

"My wife only has one daughter, Miss Yuli. She is an old woman, so naturally she loves her very much." Caihe said something fair.

Miao Xian nodded and said: "I understand this too. If Lingling wants to get married in the future, I will also plan every possible way to prepare her with ten miles of red makeup and marry her off in a glorious way. Besides, my wife is accompanying her anyway. It's her own private house and public belongings, and I can't bear to do anything with them. It's just that the eldest grandma is not happy."

"Grandma is naturally unhappy. Grandma is the eldest son's direct daughter-in-law. After all, everything in the Xitala Mansion will belong to me and grandma in the future. Besides, the young master and lady under Grandma's knees have also reached the age of engagement. If all the subsidies are given to Miss Yuli now, my sons and daughters will not benefit much." Caihe has been with Miaoxian for several years, and has also seen clearly the twists and turns in the homes of these so-called wealthy families. .

"But if I were in the position of the eldest grandma, I would be worried. After all, everyone only loves their own children. Well, everyone knows that my natal family is in decline, and there is nothing good to give to my aunt." Miao Xian said. It is clear that you are telling lies with your eyes open.No one in the Xitala House knew that the Second Mistress had the support of the empress in the palace and would always get good things from her.But Miao Xian still wanted to leave all these good things to her children.

Caihe naturally understood what Miaoxian meant.

Miao Xian said earnestly to Cai He: "In a blink of an eye, your age has also arrived. Do you want to be a head-dressing lady outside or a daughter-in-law in charge of the house? You must have a plan in your own mind. "

Caihe immediately blushed with embarrassment and said coyly: "I haven't made up my mind yet, my slave?"

"Then you have to think carefully. You have been with me for so many years, and I remember your goodness. Don't worry, I will get you a decent dowry no matter what." Miao Xian said sincerely to Caihe. .

Caihe immediately knelt down and said movedly. "Hey, what's going on? Why is Caihe still kneeling on the ground?"

Xitara Gangan walked into the room from outside, looked at the appearance of the master and servant, and laughed quickly.

Caihe immediately got up from the ground, saluted Xitala Gangan and said, "Greetings to the second master."

There was no smile on Miao Xian's face, and she said dryly, "Why didn't the girls inform the second master when he came in?"

"We are husband and wife, why should we be so outspoken? I originally thought that you would discuss things in the room and not let anyone inform you." Xitara Gang'an sat opposite Miao Xian, looking at the scattered things on the heated floor with greedy eyes. The private room above.

Miao Xian saw the desire in her husband's eyes and quickly ordered Cai He, "Cai He hasn't put all these things away yet."

Caihe quickly put away the private room carefully one by one.

Miaoxian picked up a piece of silk and thought carefully about making clothes for the children. "The color of this silk is really nice." Xitala Gang'an boasted and said: "By the way, Miaoxian, why haven't I seen you bring your children into the palace to pay your respects to the empress in the past few days? Is there such a relationship between relatives? The more we move around, the closer we get."

Miao Xian glanced at Xitala Gang'an strangely and said, "The next few days will not be a good day for sister Yuli. I thought that there are many things in the house, so I can help my wife. So I told the empress, He said he would go back in a few days."

"You are too ignorant. No matter how important Yuli's marriage is, it can be more important than meeting the empress. Besides, sister Yuli's marriage will naturally be decided by the wife, and it will not hinder you." Xitala Gang'an He immediately lectured Miao Xian excitedly.

Miao Xian glanced at Xitala Gang'an and said: "Second Master, it's okay to say this in front of me, but don't say it anywhere else. If this word reaches my wife's ears, Second Master, can you I don’t have a good look on my face.”

Xitara Gangan's expression changed, and he said brightly: "I made a mistake in saying that."

Although he said this, Xitala Gangan was still dissatisfied.He is a concubine, but he is still the son who carries on the family line.Normally, the eldest brother and the third brother, who are his legitimate sons, would be better than him, but now even his daughter is getting married with a higher pomp than him.These days, watching my eldest daughter prepare a dowry for Yuli with great joy, I wish I could evacuate the entire Xitala Mansion.Even so, my mother-in-law keeps saying this is not enough and that is not enough all day long.Amma didn't stop her, and just added a lot of private rooms of her own.Seeing this kind of treatment made Xitala Gangan extremely jealous.

Miao Xian heard the anger in Xitala Gang'an's words, but she didn't speak.Just kept touching the silk.

Xitala Gangan did not dare to accuse his wife now. He could only suppress his dissatisfaction and said: "Now the empress has returned to the palace with Lord Long Live, and the road is closer to Changchun Garden. You can enter the palace at any time. Brand, you should always bring the children into the palace to pay your respects to the queen. The queen is lonely and helpless in the palace, but if you go often, you can still talk to the queen."

"You don't have to worry about this, Second Master. My wife is living a very good life in the palace, and Lord Long Live is always by my side. As long as Lord Long Live is here, Queen Mother will not be lonely and helpless." Miao Xian faced Xita again. La Gangan preached.

"This is my fault again. But even if Long live the Lord is always by my side, how can I be with the Queen all the time because of my busy schedule? As my cousin, I am close to you. Even for the sake of the children, You should also go in often to pay your respects to your wife." Xitala Gangan was thinking about something in her heart, so she tried to comfort her.

Miao Xian looked at Xitala Gangan strangely and said to herself: What happened today.He persuaded himself to enter the palace.Maybe there is something secretly hidden from me.

Seeing his wife, Xitala Gangan felt a little guilty. He coughed twice and said, "Tomorrow is a rare good day. Why don't you, Miaoxian, hand a sign to the palace? Tomorrow you will take the children to pay your respects to the empress." The children have never entered the palace before they grow up. It is also good to go in and gain experience."

"It's time for the second master to worry about this matter. It's time to enter the palace to pay his respects to the empress. I will naturally take the children into the palace." Miao Xian saw that her husband's eyes were evasive and knew there was something fishy, ​​so she stepped in to stop it. road.

Seeing that his wife refused to accept her words, Xitala Gangan could only grit his teeth and said truthfully: "Miaoxian, please help me. Amma said that as long as you enter the palace and test her voice in front of the empress. After coming back, Amma He will help me move up and down, and let me move up one liter. Our family of four, except for me, are all at the fifth level. I also want to move up."

Miao Xian listened to her husband's explanation and thought: Sure enough, there is something up his sleeve.If I hadn't insisted on it, I probably wouldn't have told the truth to myself.How could I marry such a man?

"Miaoxian, Miaoxian, please help me. The higher my official position, the better the future of my children. Miaoxian, this is the opportunity that Ama finally gave me, so please help me. Don't worry , if it happens now, I will definitely live a good life with you." Xitala Gang'an came to Miaoxian, held Miaoxian's hand and begged.

Miao Xian stared blankly at the unfamiliar husband in front of her.

Seeing that his wife did not respond, Xitala Gangan said again: "Miaoxian, now your natal family has fallen into decline. Although the empress in the palace is favored, after all, Long live the Lord is old. If one day the empress loses her favor, you The only one I and my children can rely on.”

Just when Xitala Gangan was begging Miaoxian.

Caihe outside reported to the inner room: "I'm reporting to the second master and the second grandma. Sister Taohua from the wife's courtyard is here. She said that the wife invited the second grandma to come to the main courtyard to talk."
