After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, many people who rushed home for the New Year began to leave home to embark on the journey of the new year. www.biquge.info Some people have to leave their homes in order to make a living, some people say goodbye to their parents in order to study, and some people travel far away for business and even take risks to go to sea......

Luocheng, Qingyuan Marquis Mansion is also rarely shrouded in sorrow at this moment, just because the second girl Qiu Yanran wants to travel to Ningzhou to relax, and she has to stay for a month, the old lady is reluctant, she prepared a lot of things not to say, and wiped her tears with a thousand instructions, people don't know and think that Qiu Yanran is going to get married.

Xu Yuanniang couldn't understand how Qiu Yanran's arrogant and coquettish temperament could suddenly put down her posture to visit a so-called "mother's Jinlan friend" and take the initiative to live in the Zhuangzi where they lived?

I heard that the Guo family is just a relatively wealthy farming family, with thousands of acres of fertile land, a big Zhuangzi, and more than a dozen rice shops, and then each generation can produce three or five talents, one or two people, I heard that the ancestor also produced a Jinshi, that's all.

Such a family, not to mention that the hostess is just the so-called "Jinlan friend" formed by the Ji family when she was about ten years old, and she has rarely had contact with her for decades, even if she is a serious relative, she is afraid that Qiu Yanran will not look down on her, heh, so there must be a demon when things go wrong, she intuitively felt that Qiu Yanran's purpose of going to Ningzhou this time was not simple, not for distraction, but for ambition. Since marrying into the Qiu family, Xu Yuanniang has seen very clearly that the sister-in-law has a high heart, and she has been thinking about getting rid of the stupid fiancé of the Ding family.

Whether Qiu Yanran can get rid of the Ding family Xu Yuanniang doesn't care, she is not so vicious, she has to watch Qiu Yanran marry into the Ding family. It's just that she is really worried about what drastic measures Qiu Yanran will take and do something embarrassing, which will not only affect Qiu Yiran's future, but also affect her future children, especially her daughter.

Gently stroking her still flat lower abdomen, a trace of worry appeared on Xu Yuanniang's face. Yes, the doctor just diagnosed her yesterday, and she has been pregnant for almost two months. No one knows how difficult it is for her child to come, so whether it is a man or a woman, she will protect her children and will do her best to pave the way for them to make their future smooth.

Not long after arriving at the Hou Mansion, Baoxing, the big girl beside her, found Jue Zisan in the chicken soup sent from the big kitchen. She was extremely angry at the time, but more than that, she was glad. Sure enough, as her mother expected, the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion will make a fuss about the heirs, first make her unable to give birth to children, and then threaten her to hand over the dowry with no children, and even get money from her mother's family to fill the Hou Mansion unconditionally.

Oh, Baoxing is the big girl that her mother has prepared for her a long time ago, and she has been sent to study medicine since she was a child, in order to protect her in the future as a dowry maid in her mother-in-law's house, Mingyue's parents, brothers and sisters are all in the Xu family. It is said that the merchant family is shrewd, but the merchant family lacks power, even if the other family exchanges some power and seeks long-term interests by using silver and marrying daughters, it is still difficult step by step, and even frightening step by step, is not it shrewd? If there is no treasure star, she would have become a hen that will not lay eggs in the mouth of her mother-in-law in the near future

However, when she confirmed through temptation and secret investigation that Xianggong Qiu Yiran was very much looking forward to their children and had no idea about the chicken soup of the child, her mood suddenly improved, and she also increased her confidence in the future. At least, with her efforts, the relationship between her and Qiu Yiran is still good.

Xu Yuanniang, the silver spent on Qiu Yiran's future, has always been generous, but now, Qiu Yiran has taken refuge in the prince and found a position as a political secretary, and is preparing to show his skills with great interest, all the way up.

Xu Yuanniang was also happy when he looked at it, Qiu Yiran's title would be in his generation, if he didn't work hard to find a future, when their children grew up, what else could the Hou Mansion leave for them?

When Qiu Yiran walked into the house, she happened to see Xu Yuanniang leaning against the window and looking out, and said with a smile: "You are annoyed by Yan'er, I won't be able to see her for a while." Originally, they were all outside to send the second sister, but the mother said that there were still a few words to explain to the second sister in private, so they all went back to the room first.

was forced to marry a merchant girl, and at the beginning, Qiu Yiran was unwilling. Although he heard that Xu Yuanniang was shrewd and generous and received a good upbringing since childhood, he was still worried that this wife would not be able to stand on the stage with a copper smell and could not afford the identity of Mrs. Hou.

No, Xu Yuanniang's appearance, bearing and performance greatly surprised him, considerate and not humble, gentle and not cowardly, and most importantly, he was willing to take out silver to support him for his future. Xu Yuanniang's dowry is not amazing, but her dowry shop and Zhuangzi have very good and stable income, so she will not stick to the box of silver, so he is becoming more and more satisfied with this wife. Especially after he took the prince's line, after Xu Yuanniang married into the mansion, he regarded her as a virtuous helper of Wangfu.

Originally, Qiu Yiran was still a little dissatisfied with Xu Yuanniang's reluctance to take more dowries to supplement the Houfu family, but Xu was right, he still had a long way to go, not to mention that it cost a lot to get an official position this time, and she would need a lot of money in the future, and her dowry was just that, if it was all used up all at once, it would be too late to make up when needed. Moreover, although the income of the Hou Mansion Gong Middle School is small, it is still enough to maintain the current living expenses, so why can't he wait for his future to stabilize and then think about improving his living standards? Only when he is really good, will the entire Hou Mansion be good.

He also figured out now that the Xu family was his daughter-in-law, and it was natural for him and his children to use her dowry, so it was not good for the Xu family to raise the entire Hou Mansion, right? She didn't have as much dowry as Yin Zhiruo, so she couldn't afford it? It's better to wait for him to be really developed, and then take care of his younger siblings. Mother dislikes the low standard of living in Houfu now, but hasn't it been like this for so many years?

Looking at Qiu Yiran, who was obviously in a good mood, Xu Yuanniang also smiled and said: "It's terrible for my mother to hear Xianggong's words, how dare I dislike my sister-in-law?" But I'm really a little worried, my sister-in-law is so arrogant and slow, and she may live in the Guo family, and she won't cause anything, right?"

Qiu Yiran disagreed: "What can you do? She just wants to stay away from home and find a quiet place to relax." He was also a little worried before, worried that Yan'er would break the jar in order to get rid of the Ding family, and she couldn't reach Ming Shizi. The Guo family is just a rich man with the smell of books, not a broken jar, it is better to marry the Ding family, the young master Ding is not born stupid, as long as Yan'er can give birth to a smart son in the future, there is no hope?

However, last night he received news that the fifth prince would go to Ningzhou to deal with some things on behalf of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Haha, he knew that her sister had a high vision, and since she woke up from the fall, her temperament has calmed down a lot, and she has become more intelligent and scheming.

Although she couldn't understand how Qiu Yanran knew that the fifth prince was going to Ningzhou, since she and her mother didn't make a noise, and even hid it from her father and him, there must be their reasons, and the matter really needs to be kept secret if it didn't work out, and the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion can't stand any rumors anymore.

Qiu Yanran is here, if it is done, the relationship between their Hou Mansion and the royal family, His Royal Highness the Prince, and Concubine Qi will be close. Even if it's just a side concubine, it can be on the royal gold book. As long as he can make some achievements, his sister will be favored in the Five Princes' Mansion again, and the brothers and sisters will work together, and when the prince ascends the throne in the future, their Qingyuan Marquis Mansion will not rise.

In case, Qiu Yanran didn't succeed, the matter was silent, and everyone just thought that she had gone for a trip and came back, and there was no problem.

Xu Yuanniang snorted coldly secretly, businessmen and people in officialdom have a common strength, that is, they are good at observing words and feelings. From Qiu Yiran's face, she could see that he must have known the true purpose of Qiu Yanran's trip, but he didn't plan to say it.

Okay, he just knows it, as long as it doesn't hinder Qiu Yiran's future, she really doesn't care about what Qiu Yanran does.

Well, about the child in the womb, it is time to tell Qiu Yiran, because after three months, it should be revealed, and it is unrealistic to hide it from your mother-in-law. Also, she wants to get a small kitchen in her yard when she is pregnant and picky, although she must use her own private money, but she still needs Qiu Yiran to help her say it in front of her parents-in-law.

Xu Yuanniang was thinking about how to speak, and Baoyue came in with a bowl of freshly boiled tocolytic medicine: "Madam, the medicine is ready, it's time to drink it." Uh, Hou Ye," she looked up and realized when Hou Ye had come back.

"Medicine?" Qiu Yiran hurriedly asked, "Yuan Niang, are you sick?" When he returned home yesterday, he seemed to have seen Baoyue send a doctor out, but he was called by his mother before he could ask anything, and then he forgot about it after he was too busy.

"No," Xu Yuanniang waved her hand to let Baoyue out, and blushed herself, "It's just that the doctor said that the concubine may have been busy recently, and the fetal appearance is not good, so it is more reassuring for the concubine to take a few doses of medicine." ”

"Oh, wait, fetal phase? no," Qiu Yiran was so excited that she couldn't speak, "You...... Yuan Niang, do you have this?" This is his first son-in-law, how can he not be excited? Uh, he has to hurry up to report the good news to his father and mother, and his mother was telling him a few days ago that he is the eldest son, and that spreading branches and leaves is as important as the future, so let him hurry up.

Xu Yuanniang said shyly: "Well, the doctor only confirmed it yesterday, and said that it has been almost two months." "No matter how generous and neat she is, it's still very shy to talk about such a thing, this is the first child, and she still belongs to the bride.

"Okay, great!" Qiu Yiran was indeed very happy, "You have to take care of it from now on, and the affairs of the house will temporarily bother your mother for a while." "He has been very successful recently, he has successfully obtained an official position, and he is happy to add Lin'er, which is really a double happiness!

Xu Yuanniang shook her head and hurriedly said: "No, don't force your mother, she still has to recite scriptures and copy scriptures." The doctor also said that the concubine's body has a good foundation, as long as she doesn't work too hard. In order to avoid criticism, he had to copy more scriptures and donate them to the temple regularly, and he also regularly went to the temple to live in the temple for three days and chanted with the monks in the morning and evening, hoping to reduce the bad reputation brought about by the collusion with the mountain bandits.

Qiu Yiran thought about it for a while, and said with a sneer: "It's okay, it's okay, you should pay attention to yourself, fortunately, the maid and wife next to you can also do it." "Mother always complains about Yuan Niang's slamming of the door, but in fact, everyone in the house knows that even with the current standard of living, Yuan Niang has to fill in a lot of private silver every month, not to mention her dowry Zhuangzi has to send a lot of fresh vegetables, wild things, etc. every day. The mother knows best how much foundation the Hou Mansion has in the middle school, and how can she be willing to take over the middle feed again? Unless Yuan Niang is willing to hand over all the dowries to the middle school.

Xu Yuanniang nodded, struck while the iron was hot, and took advantage of Qiu Yiran's slight guilt at this moment to bring up the matter of the small kitchen. She was not ambiguous, and directly told the poisonous chicken soup before. It's just that Jue Zisan only said that it was something that would make a woman hurt her body and not easy to conceive, and she didn't say that she suspected who wanted to harm her, but only said that the people in the big kitchen obviously didn't understand this, and she didn't feel at ease, and the nurse Wang Pozi she brought from her mother's house not only made the most delicious meals for her appetite, but also was very proficient in the dietary precautions for pregnant women.

Qiu Yiran is also a human spirit, glanced at Xu Yuanniang deeply, and said: "Okay, I'll go and tell my mother, it just so happens that I often go out early and return late now, and it is indeed more convenient for us to have a small kitchen in our own yard." With his understanding of his mother and Yanran, he has not received any benefits from Yuan Niang so far, either of them may do this, and it is not surprising that his mother wants to take Yuan Niang through her heirs.

However, not to mention that he is still quite satisfied with Xu Yuanniang now, she also plays the role of Mrs. Qingyuanhou, such as the handling of the chicken soup incident, she is very generous, wise, and takes into account the overall situation. Taking a step back, even if he is not satisfied with this wife, can he still divorce his wife? He has already divorced once, and it has brought huge losses and negative influences that cannot be eliminated so far, if he does it again, whether it is divorce, divorce, or spoiling his concubine and destroying his wife, his image in the eyes of everyone will be even worse, and it will definitely affect his future, which is really unnecessary.

Xu Yuanniang nodded meekly: "Thank you, Xianggong!" She knew that Qiu Yiran had guessed the truth, but even if there was evidence for such a family ugliness, it couldn't make a big fuss, let alone no evidence. The contradiction between the mother and the wife will always be difficult for a man to deal with, and she is already very satisfied with Qiu Yiran's ability to have such a reaction, much better than she expected before she married into the Hou Mansion.

Of course, if Qiu Yiran's reaction makes her dissatisfied, or even completely disappointed, she also has her own means to protect the child and protect herself. It's just that in that case, the relationship between him and Qiu Yiran is really only about calculating and using each other.

"What should I do," Qiu Yiran also said softly, "By the way, I also want to thank you, the jade-inlaid wool cloak you gave to Yan'er is very precious, right?" At that time, Qiu Yanran's eyes lit up, and she couldn't believe it, and her mother rarely showed a little smile.

Xu Yuanniang said: "It is also the concubine's body, and the sister-in-law goes out to visit, which also represents the face of our Hou Mansion." "When to be generous, how to use the least amount of silver to achieve the best effect, she has been applying it freely since she was a child. (To be continued.) )
