Chapter 852: Past Events (2)
The little girl raised her head in praise, and with curved eyebrows she gave a proud smile to the two old men who told her to shut up.
Xiao Yining: <(｀^′)>
Wang and Lin: ......
Jiang Tingsong looked at Wang Cheng and continued, "What Wang Xuezhe said just now is correct. Xuezhe Lin's mother actually doesn't have a close relationship with the family. She was raised by the then Empress, now the Empress Dowager, since she was a child. She only returns home a few times a year, so the Lian family adopted Miss Lian."
"I once heard my mother mention that Miss Lian is very popular with the Lian Taifu and his wife. Mrs. Lian brings her to banquets, and whenever she encounters her own daughter, she will specifically instruct her to take good care of her and not let her be bullied. Even Lian Chen, the youngest son of the Lian family, is quite unfamiliar with his own sister."
Then, the old man brought the topic back to reading companionship.
"The fact that the Lian family's children were chosen by the late emperor to serve as his companions in the palace was also due to Lin Xuezi's mother mentioning this to the Empress, who requested that the young Lian Chen not be allowed to enter the palace."
"This is the right move. Although the late emperor had many children, it is inevitable that there would be open and covert fighting among the tutors, which could lead to bad habits."
"Ms. Lin's mother was affected. After the Xuanping Marquis's family and her brothers and sisters entered the palace, she asked the Empress for permission to return home at night."
At this time, Xiao Yining raised her hand again and curiously interrupted, "Master Jiang, who was my uncle's study partner?"
Wang and Lin: →_→, why are you mentioning the old man again?
Jiang Tingsong patiently explained, "Your Majesty at the time disliked staying in the palace, so the late Emperor agreed to allow him to establish a residence outside the palace. Therefore, Your Majesty studied at the Li family school when he was young, and did not have a companion."
Little Yining's mouth opened into an "O" shape, which made him admire the old baby even more. He didn't expect that he had been so independent since he was a child.
Lin Yuzan brought the topic back and asked, "Master Jiang, are you saying that my mother left the palace because her brothers and sisters entered the palace?"
Hearing this, Jiang Tingsong sighed and nodded, "That's right. I don't know why, but once when I passed by my father's study, I heard him scolding Miss Lian and Miss Song. They pestered your mother so much that she couldn't concentrate on her homework. At that time, the three girls lived in the same palace."
He paused for a moment before revealing another piece of information: "You actually have an uncle, but while he was in the palace, he met with an accident while protecting Miss Lian. Therefore, Imperial Tutor Lian begged the late emperor to take his two daughters out of the palace."
"Although the late emperor agreed to this, he also did something absurd at the time."
"Absurd?"
Wang and Lin looked at each other, frowned, and began to think about the old things they had heard recently.
Little Yining frowned unconsciously - she had never heard of the uncle who saved Aunt Lian in the girls' school, and little Liu Zhenying had never mentioned him either.
At this moment, Jiang Tingsong responded: "This matter is embarrassing for the royal family, so it has not been spread outside. My father knew about it, and he happened to be present at the time."
As soon as these words were spoken, Xiao Yining's curiosity was immediately piqued, and she looked at the old man with bright eyes.
Jiang Tingsong continued to look at the two old men and said slowly, "I mentioned before that the late emperor liked to act on impulse. When he learned that Young Master Lian had an accident in the palace, he was furious. This also reveals the intentions of Young Miss Lian and Miss Song."
"So, he came up with a method of drawing lots to arrange marriages. Whether the three girls could marry the prince was determined by heaven..."
Before the old man finished speaking, Xiao Yining's mouth opened into an "O" shape again. The answer was already clear in everyone's mind. God still favors lovers, but the two did not end up together, and the ending was not good.
But she couldn't help but interrupt again: "But Master Jiang, you clearly said at the beginning that it was because of the third son of the Leng family that Aunt Lian was jealous!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Tingsong explained again, "My princess, you may not know that the eldest son's misfortune was indeed related to the eldest son of the Leng family. He thought the two girls were attracted to him, and Princess Zhaoyang was also involved. This caused many misunderstandings, making the two girls mistakenly believe that the prince was interested in them."
"At first, the two women drew lots to choose Leng Qingyin, but at the end, they knelt down and told the late emperor that their favorite was the Crown Prince, so it became a three-person drawing."
Xiao Yining: (?д?; ), stale melons are really unpalatable!
This talk is full of twists and turns, without any real content, and relies entirely on the imagination of love, hate and vengeance.
Wang and Lin were also confused and looked at each other with frowns.
After the kid finished thinking about the drama, he asked a third question: "Master Jiang, that Leng Qingyin is a bad guy. Did the late emperor punish him?"
Jiang Tingsong shook his head slowly: "Although the eldest son's accident was inextricably linked to Leng Qingyin, it was not his fault, so the late emperor scolded him."
"However, I heard from my father that the late emperor stopped Princess Zhaoyang from marrying Leng Qingyin and instead arranged her marriage to the upright young master of the Zhu family. Leng Qingyin's name was also placed in the lottery, and the marriage was decided by heaven. However, at that time, Miss Lian changed her mind again, saying that she loved the son of the Marquis of Qiyuan. In the end, Leng Qingyin married Miss Song."
At this point, all the old gossip that the old master knew was told.
He sipped his tea, set the cup aside, and urged, "I have told you everything I know. You two should quickly recite the answers to the questions for me."
Wang and Lin quickly digested this old gossip which only contained a little information, and without further delay, they quickly took up their pens and wrote silently, so that they could send this irritable old man away as soon as possible so that they could go back to bed and continue to rest.
Little Yining reconstructed what he knew into a melodramatic drama, then muttered, "Sure enough, apart from my grandmother, there's no one good. Sister Liu keeps saying Aunt Lian is a good person."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Tingsong laughed and shook his head. "My Lady, in this world, judging the good and bad of things based solely on appearances is foolish. Therefore, we need to unravel the mystery to find the truth. As I know, even a few words may not necessarily be the truth."
"Even the good or bad of the eldest lady needs to be investigated by the princess herself. Don't make a biased judgment based on a few words from others."
The little girl nodded in agreement and sorted out the melon in her mind again. When she grew up, maybe she could write it into a melodramatic novel and sell it in Liu Zhenying's Changchunzhai for a little money.
At this moment, a sarcastic remark came to her ears.
"Sister Qing is so stupid. Don't you know that things have two sides, and people have two sides too?"
Xiao Yining: (▼へ▼メ)
The two little kids' eyes met in mid-air, and old sorrows and new hatreds instantly flooded their hearts.
Fortunately, Lin Yinhu's foresight came into play again. Seeing that the two little kids were not in good shape, he quickly pulled them to another place to fight.
The study finally returned to its former tranquility.
At the same time, the sound of two little kids quarreling could be heard not far away, but after a few breaths, they let out three screams and everything returned to peace.
After an unknown amount of time, the gate of the Lin family slowly opened, and Jiang Tingsong walked out. He glanced sideways at the two little foxes who had sent him out, and snorted coldly.
Wang and Lin finally breathed a sigh of relief, then lowered their eyes to look down at the three little ones with red eyes behind them.
Just now they were playing in the corridor and accidentally disturbed Wan Niang, so they all got beaten up.
The two old men smiled helplessly and were about to ask the three children to go back, but they heard the remarks that made them angry again.
Xiao Yining: "Why didn't Scholar Jiang scold my father and uncle?"
Wang Gungun: "They must be very cunning and sly. They fooled Mr. Jiang and took him away!"
Lin Yinhu: "Beating is love, scolding is care. It must be that Jiang Daxueshi doesn't like my uncle and Uncle Chengzi!"
Wang and Lin: (?? ?), these three little brats, we never see any good from them!
