第301章 苦命鸳鸯
这日,正赶上李玉沐休,吃罢早饭,静姝便命紫云将李玉请到了清风苑。

李玉彬彬有礼的向静姝见了礼,坐定后,开口问道:“二嫂请我过来可是为着我的婚事?”

静姝为了与李玉说这个事,原是斟酌了许久,倒是不曾想李玉倒是亲口问了出来。

静姝缓缓道:“我正是想要与四弟提及此事呢,虽说婚姻大事皆是长辈们做主,但这毕竟是关乎一辈子的大事,我还是想听听四弟的意思。”

李玉笑了笑,淡淡道:“我也没什么想法,便是谁不嫌弃我,愿意嫁过来,嫂子便帮我订下来就是了。”

静姝见李玉又说这样自暴自弃的话,她耐着性子开导道:“四弟有功名在身,如今又进了刑部,将来前程无量,何必总是不得开怀?”

李玉听了静姝的话,没有言语,只苦笑着端起茶盏轻酌着。

静姝也不再与他兜圈子,委婉的直奔主题道:“我与祖母倒是看中了京中几个权贵之家,但女儿家好的其父母品行却不一定好,父母体面的,女儿又都有这样那样的缺点,相看了好些个,倒是没找到与四弟般配的。”

李玉是个聪明人,听了这话便明白了静姝的难处,他开口道:“若是权贵之家没有何时的,便是寻个普通人家就是了。”

他放下茶盏,苦笑道:“左右人家不嫌弃我就是了,我又哪里有资格挑三拣四的。”

“一切单凭嫂子做主就是了。”说完,冲着静姝微微一礼,抬腿便走。

“出身不是一个人能选择的,上辈子的恩怨也与你无关,只是这人生却是你自己可以把控的,我倒是觉得四弟该心胸宽广些,将目光放得长远些才是。”

李玉走到门口,静姝对着他劝道。

李玉虽然心性狭窄了些,但对这个一向真心关怀他还救过他性命的嫂子却是打心眼里敬重的。

李玉听了静姝的话,他微微顿了下,随即转过身,对着静姝回道:“多谢嫂子的开导。”

静姝冲着他微微点点头,回道:“如果你真的不在意姑娘的出身,我保证会悉心为你选一个好的来。”

翔林苑内,平阳刚与李翔用罢早饭,玉珠进来回道:“禀三爷,夫人,杏姨娘过来请安了。”

平阳闻言,回了句:“让她进来罢。”

一会功夫,娇杏缓缓入内,朝着李翔和平阳施礼问了安后,便恭敬的立在了一旁。

平阳刚刚产女不久,还没出月子,她围着薄毯倚在贵妃榻上,看了娇杏一眼,问道:“听说你前两日身子不舒坦,可好些了吗?”

这娇杏自从回了府中,一向安守本分,在平阳跟前更是规规矩矩,而且平阳见李翔待她也不过淡淡的,不过是在她这阵子不方便同寝时才过去住两夜,所以平阳现下便是一点儿也不将这不起眼的小妾放在心上了。

每日见她来规规矩矩的请安,也不过是与她随口敷衍两句。

娇杏见平阳问话,便规矩的回道:“前两日不过是吃错了东西,闹得腹中不舒服,现下也已经无碍了。”

说着,她从婢女手中捧过几件小儿的衣裳用物,对着平阳道:“姐儿就要满月了,妾身也没有什么拿得出手的东西,这几件小衣是我亲手所做,还望夫人不要嫌弃。”

平阳命玉珠接过东西,嘴上客气道:“有劳杏姨娘了,我这里也无事,你身子刚好,早些回去歇着罢。”

娇杏也不多言,恭敬的退了出去。

娇杏前脚刚走,李翔便也找借口出了屋子。

他三两步赶上娇杏,拉着她在背人的墙角站定。

娇杏被李翔拉着,她慌乱的左右看看,问李翔道“你又跟着出来做什么?万一让人看见了,可如何是好。”

李翔一手擎着墙壁,将娇杏半圈在怀中,问道:“你肚子还疼吗?”

娇杏看了他一眼,回道:“已经好了,我没事的,你不必惦记着。”

李翔垂下了头,微微叹了口气道:“可惜这胎不是儿子,我真的没法跟她开口让你停药。”

娇杏听了这话,一时间心中百转千回,她拉住了李翔的手,脸上挂着笑意,回道:“夫人是个心善的人,早晚会得贵子的,待你们有了嫡子,我便亲自去求夫人停了这避子汤,我也不求旁的,若是能为你生个乖巧可爱的女儿,我此生便再无所求了。”

李翔侧过头去,吸了吸鼻子,神色暗淡道:“你身子本来就弱,那避子汤又如此伤身子,我怕你”

不待李翔说完,娇杏便抬手掩住了他的嘴,冲着他道:“哪个妾室不是这么过的,旁人能受得,我便能受得,你莫要操这个心就是了。”

李翔与娇杏自幼相识,这个看似普通的姑娘,在李翔心中却是至宝,可他却也只能靠着这样隐忍的方式,偷偷的爱着她、护着她。

李翔心中憋闷,哽咽着对娇杏道:“我真恨自己没本事,我若是有二哥那样的功勋在身,能在族中举足轻重,也不至于让你受这样的委屈。”

所谓的规矩不过是给弱者定的法则。当初静姝不孕,李陵能顶住压力为了心爱的妻子不纳妾,主要就是因为他有本事顶起李氏一族的兴盛,族人无不要靠李陵挣下的功勋得平安谋前程,所以,便是他破了规矩体统,谁也不能拿他和静姝如何。

娇杏听了这话,她心中一酸,抱住李翔,掉着泪安慰道:“你莫要这样想,只要能跟你在一起,我便已经知足了。”

偌大的府邸,殿宇巍峨,两人却只能悄悄躲在背人的墙角说几句贴心话。

二人抱在一起,紧紧相拥。

过了好一阵,娇杏强自忍住悲伤,挤出笑脸,岔开话题问李翔道:“快到端午了,你想吃什么馅儿的粽子?我包给你。”

李翔破涕为笑,宠溺的看向怀中心爱的女子,逗着她道:“只要是你包的,我都喜欢的。只是,这次可千万要蒸熟了给我吃。”

娇杏想起二人从前的糗事,忍不住掩嘴笑道:“不过就给你吃了一次生粽子,你倒是小气吧啦的记了这么些年。”

李翔伸手捏了捏娇杏的脸蛋,调侃着回道:“我那次可是拉了三天肚子,这般惨痛的经历,我怎敢忘记。”

Rebirth of the High-Mansion Matriarch

重生之高门主母
Author:

The heir of the Duke of Zhenguo, Li Ling, is a remarkably talented and brave young man. His delicate wife, Shen, feels stifled living with him. After five years of marriage, she is completely submissive to him, but he shows her no warmth at all. If it were only because of his cold nature, she could accept it. However, when the Xiongnu invade and the ninth princess is forced into a marriage alliance, Li Ling unexpectedly becomes infuriated and requests a military expedition on behalf of his cousin, the princess. She finally understands the reason for his cold treatment toward her. Angered, she decides she no longer wants to stay with him and prepares a divorce letter, just waiting for Li Ling to return and sign it. To her surprise, after one night's sleep, she finds herself back in the early days of her marriage to Li Ling... Li Ling has married a dutiful little wife who is completely submissive to him. During their first month of marriage, she takes care of him comfortably. Recently, however, Li Ling notices something strange about her. In the mornings, she no longer helps him get dressed; during meals, she doesn't serve him dishes or soup anymore; at night, whenever he approaches her, she turns away. The stern and aloof Li Ling can no longer hold back. He moves closer and asks, "Madam, are you feeling unwell?" She merely gives him a dismissive glance. Li Ling scratches his head and says, "Are you perhaps not quite accustomed to life in the residence?" She lowers her head and remains silent. Unable to endure this, Li Ling keeps a close watch on her every move, hoping to understand her heart. One day, while watching a polo match, he sees her giggle as she covers her face while looking at a certain man on the field; another day, he finds her resting her chin on her hand, dazed while reading a talented poet's work; and on another occasion at a palace banquet, he even sees the crown prince give her a faint smile... Li Ling’s heart grows more and more chaotic each day.
