Hongdan lifted the curtain and came in, "Little master, the second girl from Qingzhou has sent a post." It is said to be a flower-viewing banquet. ”

"Who sent the post?"

"It's the housekeeper mother in the second girl's room. ”

"Let her in. Hanxiao was a little surprised, she didn't expect Shui Hanwu to send a decent mother in the room to send a post to her. Thinking that he had just married into Minjing, Shui Hanwu, as the daughter of the family, helped him enter the circle of the family of the Minjing Minister's family, which was expected, after all, the Shui family has a long way to go, and there are not many descendants in the court, and she is the same girl of the Shui family, and she also married into the Minister's house, helping each other and supporting each other, and also taking care of it, but the first time I came to the door to deliver the post, I sent the housekeeper mother in the room, which was not put on the shelf at all, it was really because of the daughter of the Shui family at the same time, not like ah! Then it can only be because of Xiao Di, it seems that the rumors say that Xiao Di is highly valued, and the rumors are true! It is estimated that this sister-in-law of the family is asking for herself, but she doesn't know what she is asking for?

"Let her in. ”

Mother Du walked with the little maid in the inner courtyard, thinking about her own girl's advice when she came: "Mom, don't despise the tenth sister because she is a sideline, now the tenth sister is Mrs. Zhenbei Hou, and the grandfather has always wanted the one in the third room to go to the army, I am afraid that you have to ask for Zhenbei Hou, your attitude must be respectful, and you must not let the tenth sister feel that we are lazy." ”

Mother Du's eyes dimmed, her own girl is the second daughter of the Qingzhou Shui family, married to the eldest son of the Duke of Wei, and was originally the wife of the prince, but a few years ago, the grandfather of the country accepted a concubine who was born next to the Chen Guogong's mansion, and she was very pampered, which was held in the palm of her hand to protect the aunt for fear that the aunt would suffer a little grievance, and even the words of the Duchess of Guo were not good.

The aunt gave birth to a son in the second year after entering the door, is the eldest son of the grandfather of the country, ranked third, the son is expensive by the mother, and he is also favored when he is born, compared to the eldest aunt who is said to be not bad at all, and now it is about to reach the age of saying that he is married, and the grandfather of the country does not fake his wife at all, and he personally intervenes in the marriage of the third master, and looks at the famous ladies of Minjing, as well as the foreign family of the nobles in the palace, if this really allows the third master to marry a strong daughter-in-law, then his own girl will really not be able to suppress it.

Although the girl was born in a famous family for more than 400 years, Qingzhou is far away from the mountains and rivers, and most of the people in the family are in other places. Now the third daughter of the family is actually married into the hot Zhenbei Hou Mansion in Fujian and Beijing as a wife, and as soon as she enters the door, she will be the master of the house, which is a great help!

Mrs. Hou of Zhenbei is rich, and the dowry extends throughout the capital, gold, silver, jewelry, silk and satin, real estate shops, fertile fields and mountains and forests, and no one in the capital has reached this kind of situation in the past hundred years;

Zhenbei Hou has the right to control the million-strong army in northern Xinjiang, and although the squad has handed over the handsome seal when he returns to the dynasty, he still has absolute control over the northern army. In addition, many military generals in the imperial court were brought up after the battle in northern Xinjiang, and this is all connections! To put it mildly, a sentence from Zhenbei can mobilize half of the generals in the capital.

If the husband and wife of Zhenbei Hou can make friends with their own girls and aunts, even if the grandfather wants to set up a three-room family, I am afraid he will think twice, and the lady and the grandfather can also be regarded as young couples and old companions, and the uncle is respectful and filial, no matter how you say it, you will not be decent at all.

Thinking like this, I saw that the courtyard in this house was deep, the flowers and trees were lush, and the maid was soft-spoken and behaved, knowing that this ten girls were probably also a successful person, and they were even more respectful when they met.

The men of the water family have a men's ranking, and the women have a women's ranking;

Shui Hanxiao is ten in the family's Han characters, and two are in the water and fog;

"Ten girls are fine. Mother Du greeted her neatly.

"Second sister is okay!" smiled softly, and motioned to the little maids to bring a small stool to Mother Du.

Mother Du thanked her respectfully, and sat down on the small stool half-sideways: "Back to the tenth girl, our girl is good! This time there is a flower viewing banquet in the house, and I specially asked me to invite the ten girls to come over to be lively." ”

"Second Sister Lao was worried, and went back to tell the second sister that I would definitely go over. "Asked someone to reward Du's mother with a peach blossom silver ingot.

This kind of silver ingot is specially used for rewarding with smiles, some large and some small, all of which are solid. The big peach blossom spindle is enough to have ten taels, the small one has about one or two, the molds are prepared before, and after arriving in Minjing, there are special people sent to the silver building to make this kind of spindle, and the same as before is specially used for rewarding.

Mother Du saw that this silver ingot was made exquisitely, the petals and stamens were clearly visible, upside down, there were eight taels, and she couldn't help but secretly marvel at the wealth of this ten girls, no wonder the dowry can put on that kind of posture, it is indeed a rich person!

When I returned to the Mansion of the Duke of Wei, I saw the wife of the prince Shui Hanwu, knowing that she was anxious, and without waiting to ask, I took the initiative to tell what I saw and heard in the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei, and the scene when I saw Shui Hanxiao, and carefully described every word and deed, Shui Hanwu listened and thought about it.

……

After Du's mother from the Wei Mansion left, Shui Hanxiao continued to sit in front of the window and embroidered a robe, this dress was prepared for Xiao Di, Hanxiao has been embroidering for several days, and every day she will take a period of time to work on this dress. Although Hanxiao prefers to practice words and swords, this does not mean that Hanxiao's female red is not good, on the contrary, because of the practice of martial arts, coupled with Hanxiao's willingness to work fine control, and the guidance of the famous teacher Jinxiufang's first embroidery Niang Qiu, her female red embroidery is the best one among the sisters.

The sound of footsteps came, and Green Jiao walked in with a smile;

"The position of the second brother-in-law is unstable?" Shui Hanxiao looked at the information sent by Shui Chenhong with a little surprise, he didn't expect this to happen. The second brother-in-law is both a son-in-law and the eldest son, and he has a noble-born wife, who has both children under his knees, and the second brother-in-law has not heard any bad rumors, so it shouldn't be like this!

"How is that possible?" whispered in disbelief.

As long as Wei Guogong is not old and confused, then the position of the second aunt cannot be shaken. Could it be that the side lady of the Chen Guogong Mansion was really able to turn the Wei Guogong obsessive? Is this possible? Even if he was really fascinated, the position of the prince of the prince's house had to be reported to the Ministry of Rites for the emperor's approval, and could the emperor allow a concubine to inherit the Wei Guogong Mansion?

"How is it impossible?" asked Lu Jiao with a smile, also asking himself. "What about the Duchess?"

"The current Duchess of Guo is not the original match of Wei Guogong, but the stepfamily. It is said that Wei Guogong and his original wife are very good, and the current Duchess of Guo is a little respectful. ”

When the relationship is strong, one party suddenly dies of sudden illness, and the party left will always remember the beauty of the other party, which is normal, but it is extremely cruel to the latecomers. For the living will never be better than the dead.

Shui smiled and thought for a while: "Didn't the original partner leave any children?"

"I have only one daughter, who is already married. ”

"Where to marry?" asked Shui Hanxiao, raising her head and looking at Lu Jiao.

"Married to the Qiao family in Cangzhou. The Qiao family is a century-old family, a scholarly heirloom, and there are officials in the court for almost all generations, and the current scholars of the Hanlin Academy are members of the Qiao family. The eldest lady of the Wei Mansion is married to the second son of the Qiao family, and now she has three daughters and one son, and she is doing very well. It's just that the marriage is a little far, and it's inconvenient to go back to my parents' home. The second girl and the eldest lady probably haven't met a few times?"

"Who got the marriage of that eldest lady?"

Lu Jiao understood a little, "It's the current Duchess of the Kingdom." ”

"What is the relationship between that young lady and the Duchess of the Kingdom?"

Lu Jiao thought for a moment: "It should be average! It's not rude, but it's not close." ”

Xiaoxiao put down the needle and thread in his hand, strolled under the porch, admired the scenery in the courtyard, took a deep breath, and said with a smile: "I think about it, if the relationship is good, I will not marry that young lady so far." Fortunately, the young lady is doing well, if it is not good, I am afraid that the life of the Duchess will not be easy. ”

"Does this have anything to do with the second aunt?" Lu Jiao didn't understand. Lu Jiao was picked up by Shui Hanxiao when he was a child, and he followed Shui Hanxiao since he was a child, so he is generally used to asking directly if he has any questions, and he doesn't have too many scruples.

"When the relationship between Wei Guogong and his wife was very good, his wife died of illness, leaving only one daughter, and his deceased wife told her to treat her daughter well in front of her bed, and Guogong regarded her eldest daughter as a palm bead and cherished it in every way. After marrying the stepfamily, he married his own pearl far away, and he didn't see each other once in a few years, do you say that Wei Guogong will have no knots in his heart? Will he be secretly dissatisfied with the stepfamily?"

Lu Jiao thought about it, felt that what he said with a smile was very reasonable, nodded and said, "Indeed, it is normal for Wei Guogong to feel uncomfortable. ”

"It's uncomfortable or light, if the eldest lady has a bad life after marrying, then Wei Guogong is afraid that he will be annoyed by Mrs. Guogong. He smiled lightly. "The family of the secretary of state pays attention to the importance of the mother and the son, and also pays attention to the value of the son by the mother. The second brother-in-law is the son of the current Duchess of the Kingdom, although he is the son-in-law, he is not the original son-in-law, and he doesn't like the Duchess of the Kingdom in his heart, I am afraid that his love for the son of the world is also limited, so if he really has a favorite child, it is also possible to change the son. ”

"Duke Wei and Duchess Guo are also considered young couples, how can they have lived together for so many years without feelings?" Lu Jiao thought for a while and objected.

He glanced at Lu Jiao with a smile and appreciation, stroked a green leaf and said: "Even if the Duke of Wei and the Duke of Guo have had a relationship for many years, but the matter of the eldest daughter marrying far away is there, which will inevitably leave a shadow in the heart of the Duke of Wei, so now that there is this favored concubine, the subconscious is to guard against the Duchess and avoid the regret of the eldest daughter in the favorite son." ”

"If Wei Guogong personally interfered in his son's marriage, it would be too much to promote this concubine. Lu Jiao said dissatisfiedly. The lady of the prince of the Wei Mansion is the lady of her family, and Lu Jiao subconsciously feels that the lady of the prince is her own person, and she can't help but feel sorry for the lady of the prince.

That's why the second sister and the second brother-in-law are uneasy. Wei Guogong personally intervened, and the one he was looking for must be a noble girl, and how could a noble girl be willing to stoop down to marry a concubine who had no inheritance rights, and the big heart couldn't help but worry about the position of the prince, coupled with the girl's encouragement, the brother-in-law was probably really dangerous. ”

"Even if the Duke of Wei had this idea, it would be impossible for the emperor to approve it. Green Jiao thought for a moment.

"That's not necessarily, Chen Guogongfu and Dingguo Mansion are said to be in-laws, if the queen mother from Dingguo Mansion helps to say something, will the emperor approve it? Even if the queen doesn't open her mouth, will the emperor be accurate in the face of the queen?" asked with a smile.

"What should I do then?" Lu Jiao was dumbfounded, listening to what he said with a smile, the more he thought about it, the more reasonable it became, and he couldn't help but be anxious.

Hanxiao smiled slightly: "There are not many people in the Shui family in Minjing, and my sister doesn't even have anyone to discuss anything." It's not easy for the second sister!" "The unfulfilled meaning is--ah! My sister came to the door just after getting married, isn't it just asking for help? By the way, let's see if my sister is worth associating.

"What is the little master going to do?"

"What else can I do?!Of course, go to the flower viewing banquet and meet people. With a smile, she raised her hand and threw the green leaves in her hand into the grass, turned back to the house and continued her needlework.

Embroider the clothes first!

-- No matter what you do, it's not good to give up halfway.
