Chapter 246: Pleased
Although Yulan felt that Princess Shanyang's words were a little strange, she didn't say much. The pen www.biquge.info laughed and laughed for a while, and then she took her leave.
Not long after she returned to the Chengenhou Mansion, the mother-in-law sent by Princess Shanyang also arrived. The Yao family had already arranged for someone to stay at the gatehouse, waiting to lead the way for this woman and go to the Fugui Residence where the second room lived. On the way, Yao's people stuffed a purse into the woman's purse, and gave a few words of advice like this. The mother-in-law came with the order of the princess of Shanyang, and she also understood why her princess sent her to deliver the post, just that the Yao family wanted to coax Qin's second wife Xue to say a few good words, so that she would no longer be angry about the previous post given to the Qin family's aunt and grandmother, and she did not twist it, and accepted the purse happily.
When she arrived in front of Xue, the woman smiled pleasantly, and spoke even more pleasingly: "...... At the tea party in the Shu Palace, our princess got a few more posts, and there was no one else to bring except for the three county lords in the family. The big county lord remembered the eldest girl in the house, and when they met last time, they hit it off at first sight, and they hadn't seen each other for many days, so they ordered the old slave to send two posts to the eldest girl. On the day of the tea party, invite the eldest girl to sit with the county lords, so that it is convenient to talk. Our princess also misses the eldest girl very much, and we have to introduce several princesses and ladies to the eldest girl. ”
Xue's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "Your princess has a heart, thank you for thinking about it." Our family is missing a post, but I didn't expect your princess and county lord...... I came to invite her. If Sister Yi doesn't go, won't she live up to the kindness of the princess and the county lords?"
The mother-in-law smiled: "This is also the reason why the county lords and the eldest girls in the house have the same temperament. Therefore, etiquette and seniority are secondary, and temper is more important than anything else. Sisters get along like this, husbands and wives get along like this, and families get along like this. The mother-in-law thought that the Yao family was hinting at the relatives and friends of the Qin family, but in Xue's ears, she only noticed the word "husband and wife", and her heart was excited, and she only felt that this was Princess Shanyang hinting.
The mother-in-law said: "Just like our princess and the princess of Shu, they were good sisters when they were not out of the cabinet, and now they are married, and they are a pair of good concubines." Outsiders only say that the princess of Shu followed the king of Shu to the vassal, and she has not returned to Beijing for 20 years, so she must have been separated from our princess. Not really. Friendship is all in the heart, not always on the lips. In life, everything can't go as expected, and everyone will inevitably have a time when they can't help themselves. But how can people who really care about it easily develop resentment? True friendship is not something that outsiders can easily sway. ”
These words were also instructed by Yao's side. The mother-in-law thinks that it is good to show off the affection between her own princess and the princess of Shu, so that those people outside who look down on their princess and princess know that the Shanyang palace now has the support of the Shu palace, and the weight is no longer the same! As for the latter words, isn't it the second grandmother of Qin, Yao, who is telling Qin's second wife Xue, that she can't be the master of the post, so don't let the latter be surprised?
After the mother-in-law finished speaking, she presented some new palace satin and a pair of freshly patterned bead hairpins, saying that they were given to Qin Jinyi by the two county lords, and she left. She has completed her task today, and she has received a generous reward, and she is very satisfied. Second Grandma Qin told her not to talk about this outside, and she naturally understood the rules. When she returned to Princess Shanyang, she would only mention it roughly, saying that the Yao family rewarded her with silver and asked her to say a few good words in front of Second Mrs. Qin, and Princess Shanyang would not care.
The mother-in-law left happily, but she didn't know that after Xue heard her words, her heart was overjoyed, and her heart beat faster and faster.
A newly promoted second-class girl beside her, Xiang Dai, has always been sweet and pleasant, and when she saw this, she smiled and congratulated her: "Congratulations to the second wife." You are always worried that there are so many famous ladies at the tea party who will compare with our eldest girls. In fact, what is there to worry about? Princess Shu has a noble status, but there will also be times when she can't help herself. What kind of candidate does she have in mind, where can outsiders easily shake it?"
When Xue Shi heard this, the smile on his face widened: "Yes, that's exactly what I said." She repeatedly mentioned that she didn't have to care about seniority or anything, but didn't she just take a fancy to our sister Yi? The tea party invited many ladies, I think it was because those ladies' families were optimistic about the little prince of the Shu Palace, and they wanted their daughter to be the queen. She pursed her lips contemptuously, "What a thick cheek!"
Xiang Dai said with a smile: "The eldest girl in our family is different, it is the princess of Shu who takes a fancy to herself, and her weight is naturally much heavier than that of others! In terms of family background, the eldest girl is no worse than others at all. In terms of closeness to the palace, I am afraid that it is much stronger than many so-called high-ranking families. ”
Xue Shi was happy to hear this, so he waved his hand and instructed his henchman Xianglu: "This girl has a sweet mouth, give her a first-class reward!"
Xianglu was jealous in her heart, answered, and persuaded Xue with a dry smile: "Madam, the mother-in-law just now said a few words, but she was vague...... You'd better be more careful. After all, Princess Shanyang is not the princess of Shu, and what she says may not work. ”
Xue didn't like to hear this, and glanced at her: "Who doesn't know that Princess Shanyang is the younger sister of Princess Shu? What she said, how can it not work?!"
Which green onion is the Shanyang Palace's Mansion in the capital? Cheng'en Hou Qin Song has never taken his family seriously. But now that the King of Shu's family has returned to Beijing, the Shanyang Mansion is not what it used to be. They are the henchmen of the King of Shu, and with this relationship, everyone else has to respect the King of Shanyang and his wife for three points, because it is the King of Shu and his wife standing behind them. What is inconvenient for the King of Shu and his wife to do, they are all the ones who come forward to do it. Princess Shanyang mentioned that she had a deep friendship with Princess Shu, which must be hinting at something. She will send someone to send these two posts, she must be speaking on behalf of Princess Shu, otherwise Princess Shu has already sent posts, and Princess Shanyang is not the master, so why bother? !
She wanted to make sure that Qin Jinyi would definitely appear at the tea party and compete with those famous ladies. As long as Qin Jinyi overwhelms everyone that day, who else is more qualified to be the little daughter-in-law of the Shu Palace?
Xue's heart was determined, and when he looked at those Shixin palace satins, he found that it was a tribute from Shudi, and this implication was even more obvious. When she saw that the color of these palace satins was very good for Qin Jinyi, she immediately ordered to go down and order the people on the needle and thread to take this palace satin and sew new clothes for Qin Jinyi as soon as possible, so that they could be worn at the tea party. As for the pair of pearl hairpins, although they are not very precious, they are fresh and very delicate, just matching a girl of Qin Jinyi's age, and the palace satin is also very compatible. With this pair of pearl hairpins, Qin Jinyi only needs to find some matching earrings, bracelets, collars, jade pendants or something, and then she can go out directly to be a guest, saving a lot of things!
The Xue family hurriedly sent a message to his nephews and daughters-in-law, asking them to collect the best ornaments as soon as possible. As long as it's a good thing, it doesn't hurt if it costs a lot of money. If you take advantage of the fact that you will split up tomorrow, you can report the accounts today, and you can take advantage of the public account.
Xiao Xue rushed over when he heard the news: "Madam, will this be too expensive? It's just a tea party." Sister Yi has many things that are not as good as other ladies. Princess Shu invited all the ladies to go to the tea party, and she clearly had no intention of paying her sisters. Why do you want to force it? Without the Shu Palace, Sister Yi can still talk about other family's family affairs. But on the day of the tea party, people will see through our family's thoughts and cancel Sister Yi'er, this ...... It's not going to be easy to do in the future!"
Xue waved his hand impatiently: "What do you know? ”
Xiao Xue saw that her mother-in-law refused to listen to persuasion, and she was anxious. When her husband came back in the evening, she didn't care that her husband had always looked down on her, so she told him what happened during the day with his cold face.
Qin Bofu heard a cold sweat, and hurriedly went to find the Xue family: "Mother promised to split up tomorrow? You won't be confused, right?!"
Xue told him what he had heard from Yao's during the day, and talked about the post sent by Princess Shanyang: "Think about it, what does Princess Shu do with this tea party? Although she likes our Sister Yi, there are so many families with daughters in Beijing, who doesn't want to marry into the Shu Palace? No matter how much she values Sister Yi, she must serve the public, otherwise Sister Yi will marry in the future, and she will be picky. Therefore, Sister Yi not only can't miss this tea party, but also has to overwhelm the crowd at the tea party! The materials for making new clothes and matching beads and hairpins have been prepared for us by the Shanyang Palace. With the friendship between our two families, why should the Shanyang Royal Mansion do this? Naturally, it is all the meaning of the Princess of Shu! Seeing that your daughter is one step away from a splendid future, can you, the father, really drag her back? Isn't it just a separation? When we become the in-laws of the Shu Palace, how much property and property will we not be able to get? What are we doing with the Changfang to care about these bits and pieces?"
When Qin Bofu heard this, he couldn't help but hesitate: "Does Princess Shu really take a fancy to our sister Yi? She has never said accurately, nor has she had a token, and I really don't know the bottom in my heart." Mother, if Sister Yi'er's family business can't be completed, and we split up again, it will not be so easy to tell Sister Yi about a good family business in the future. Think about it. The ladies invited to the tea party of Princess Shu are all over thirteen or fourteen years old, and they will soon reach the age of marriage. Sister Yi'er...... You're still young, aren't you?"
Xue glared at his son: "Sister Yi is thirteen years old, where is she younger?! As long as the marriage is decided, it doesn't hurt to get married two days later." The little son of the Shu Wangfu is fifteen or sixteen years old, but he is just a half-grown child. He got married too early at this time. In his future capacity, it is also common for him to prepare for marriage for two or three years. At that time, Sister Yi'er was at the right age. ”
Qin Bofu thought about it, and his heart gradually jumped up: "Since this is the case, then hurry up and split up." Once divided, we don't have to be bound by the long house anymore. Besides, even if the family is separated, it is impossible to write two Qin characters with one stroke. The long room and the third room are still our dearest relatives. Now there are rumors outside the world that the eldest prince of the Liao Wangfu is affected by his brother, and I am afraid that it will not be good. He can no longer compete with the little prince of the Shu Prince's Mansion, and the position of the East Palace in the future will definitely be the little prince of the Shu Prince's Mansion. If we don't hurry up to finalize Sister Yi'er's marriage, I'm afraid that more people will come to grab this good marriage with her. You really can't lose a big deal because of a small thing. Tomorrow will be separated!"
The mother and son glanced at each other, remembering the bright future, and both couldn't help but smile expectantly.
Shandai saw clearly in the corner, raised her eyebrows, and quietly retreated. She walked to a secluded place in the backyard, passed by a sweeping mother-in-law, and whispered: "Tell the second grandmother that it's done." He quickly left.
