After Cai Shengnan married into the Yongjiahou Mansion, it didn't take much time to integrate into the family in a low-key and smooth manner.

She and Qin Ping can't say how deep the relationship between husband and wife is, but they just respect each other like guests, but it is already rare to get along well. She takes good care of Qin Ping's life, respects her in-laws very much, treats her brother-in-law and concubine in harmony, and takes good care of her stepdaughter Qin Hanzhen and her nephews and nieces. She is not a very kind and warm person, but the plain and invisible affinity attitude on weekdays, as well as the thoughtfulness and thoughtfulness of life bit by bit, it is easy for the people in this family to eliminate the estrangement between each other. Qin Hanzhen secretly paid attention to it for a while, and once again determined in his heart that this stepmother's emotional intelligence was indeed very high.

So what kind of fainting did the predecessor of the Wei family make to give up such talents who are the housemothers?

There is no need to mention the past, with his stepmother taking over the feed, Qin Hanzhen can finally be more leisurely, focus on his own marriage, and take the opportunity to rest and rest. Cai Shengnan has never managed such a big family, but she has a little experience, and she is quite capable, and when she lived in Yunyang Hou's Mansion, she could be regarded as having seen a little bit of the world with Mrs. Yunyang Hou, so she adapted quite well. Xiao Feng continued to share part of the responsibility for her, if there is something unclear, the stepdaughter Qin Hanzhen will also pass on her experience, plus the subordinates in the Yongjiahou Mansion have already been trained by Qin Hanzhen and the two grandmothers from the Internal Affairs Mansion, the thorns are basically cleaned up, and the rest are honest and hard-working people, no one in the family wants to get along with Cai Shengnan, and the subordinates will naturally not do it again.

When Niu found that there were many fewer housework to worry about in the past, and the eldest daughter-in-law took over the chores in her hands quickly and smoothly, she was very satisfied. Especially Cai Shengnan is so busy, and he has not forgotten to take care of Qin Ping and Qin Hanzhen's life, and he has never delayed in the morning and dusk in front of his in-laws every day, and people have no big complaints about her, so this satisfaction is even deeper. Niu's three times and twice in front of her husband Qin Bai and her concubine Xu's praised her good vision, and the daughter-in-law she picked was satisfactory, filial and capable, Qin Bai naturally smiled and echoed his wife, as for whether Xu had the urge to lift the table in his heart, it was unavoidable.

But Xu will definitely be unhappy, looking back at his own daughter-in-law Yao, the degree of unhappiness is even deeper. Why didn't she get a filial, well-behaved and capable eldest daughter-in-law? The Yao family is now almost right with her. She was about to get in touch with her niece Qin Youzhen and take over the family affairs of Lu Chuming and Lu Chuliang, but the Yao family pulled Qin Youzhen to talk every day, and the aunt and sister-in-law seemed to have suddenly become the closest best friends, obviously the two still had some contradictions with each other before.

In front of the Yao family, if the Xu family wants to mention the merits of the Xu family's daughter, the Yao family must sigh how many good things the Xu family has missed during the filial piety period, and then laugh at two more jokes within the Xu family recently, such as Xu Rong studying hard, but Xu Grandma said some ridiculous words, and was scolded by Xu Er's grandmother, or what kind of suspicion arose between Uncle Xu and Xu Grandma and his wife, and so on. Then the Xu family couldn't boast about the Xu family anymore.

Xu Zheng, who missed the examination, is not a very attractive candidate for his wife and uncle for Lu Chuming, who missed the examination because of his "illness." I don't know where the Yao family knows so much about the Xu family's housework, the Xu family is a little suspicious that the Yao family has inserted eyes and ears into the Xu family, because there is a lot of news, which even the girls around her don't know, and there is no reason for it to reach Yao's ears.

What made Xu even more angry was that Yao didn't know whether it was true or false, and it seemed that he also fell in love with Lu Chuming, and actually mentioned to Qin Youzhen several nieces and nephews of her maiden family, Yao, saying that they were talented and good-looking official ladies. Although the Xu family felt that the quality of the Yao family's daughter was still much worse than Xu Xiu's, the Yao family's daughter's father and brother were powerful, and now they were still in the official position, but the Xu family had declined. After the expiration of Uncle Xu's period of worrying in the future, it is still unknown whether he can recover smoothly and what official position he will get after the recovery. In contrast, even if the Yao family is not obvious for a while, it is better to be in a stable word. No matter how the outside world disputes, the Yao family has no shortage of children who have become officials from generation to generation, which is very rare in the local eunuch family in the capital.

What made Xu the most uneasy was that Qin Youzhen seemed to have changed her previous indifference to the Yao family, and she actually became interested in the Yao family's daughter she mentioned, and she had to take time to go to the temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha with the Yao family and the Yao family's daughters in the short time before returning to Changlu. She said that she was going to pray for her husband and children, but who knows if she was going to see the daughter of the Yao family by the way? The Xu family was a little worried that Qin Youzhen would settle Lu Chuming's family affairs on this, but now it was inconvenient for her to mention the daughter of the Xu family, so she gritted her teeth and persuaded Qin Youzhen: "If you want to go to pray for blessings, why do you have to go with the Yao family? You and the Yao family are not very familiar with each other, where is it convenient for our own family to travel?"

Qin Youzhen hesitated for a moment, and said with a smile: "Since our own family is going to travel, why don't we call the third aunt and the two younger siblings in the third room? After the fourth brother and sister marry in, this is the first time to travel with the family, right? I heard that she is now taking over the middle feed of the family, and she is also busy, so let the new daughter-in-law take a breath, right?"

Yao Shi smiled beside him: "This is a good idea, I'll mention it to the fourth brother and sister!"

Even if Xu was reluctant in her heart, her and Qin Youzhen's trip to the temple still turned into a joint action of the Qin family's female dependents. Cai Shengnan, who was in the third room, also called Xiao Xue's in the second room. The concubines went out with the two mothers-in-law, but the little girls were nested at home and did not accompany them.

This trip made the friendship between the concubines of several heads of the Qin family better. Cai Shengnan seems to get along well with all the concubines. When she was in Shuozhou, she had already helped her widowed mother deal with interpersonal affairs, and when she entered Beijing, she was in the midst of rumors, and met all kinds of strangers with Mrs. Yunyang Hou, and was very sensitive to changes in the true attitude of others, and quickly noticed the arrogance and conceit under Yao's enthusiasm, the coldness under Min's calmness, Xiao Xue's weakness and diligence, and Xiao Feng's faint inferiority complex under his calmness...... But she resolved them all one by one and got along well with everyone. Even if the concubines have some opinions about each other, they have a good impression of her.

In fact, Cai Shengnan himself has nothing to worry about, no matter how arrogant the Yao family is, he also knows that the third room is the basis for the prosperity and wealth of the long house, and Cai Shengnan is the sister of the Marquis of Yunyang, there is no conflict of interest between the two, and there is no need to fight each other; the Min family, who was born in the Min family, is a world friend with the Cai family, even if the two are not familiar with each other, they are also natural allies; Xiao Xue's family also hopes that the youngest daughter Qin Jinchun can live well after marrying into the Cai family, and it is impossible to offend the concubine in the next room from the Cai family; as for Xiao Feng's family, as long as Cai Shengnan does not embarrass her, she has no reason to embarrass Cai Shengnan, now it's just that the person who has divided power has changed, her own authority remains the same, and she is busy with the children, where is the time to get along with the eldest sister-in-law?

Recently, Qin An also proposed to let Xiao Feng live in Changping Zhuangzi for a while. There is Cai Shengnan in the family, even if Qin Hanzhen is married, there is someone to take care of the house. The younger son is also older, so he can stay at home and be taken care of by the nurse, or he can take him to Zhuangzi to live for a while, just to escape the summer. Qin An has been living alone in the barracks for a long time, and he is still quite lonely, he doesn't have any new girls in the house, and occasionally goes to Changping Zhuangzi to rest, at most he eats better, lives more spaciously, is more convenient for washing, and the servants are more thoughtful. In the absence of his wife, Changping Zhuangzi's life is limited no matter how comfortable it is, and it is too far to go home.

Xiao Feng actually thought about going to Changping. The husband is far away, and there is something wrong with being separated for a long time. Even if she is reluctant to give her son, she knows that she can't give the second Golden Ring a chance to take the position. The men in the third room of the Qin family, except for Qin An, no one has taken a concubine, as long as the wife takes care of her husband, the mother-in-law will never have much trouble, let alone someone else meddling in her affairs to come up with any crooked ideas. finally solved the golden ring, did she really let her husband live in Changping Zhuangzi, and then maybe when she was exploited by the scheming fox spirit?

It's just that Xiao Feng is still thinking about his younger brother Feng Yuting, for fear that if he leaves the capital, it will not be so easy to get news of him. In March and April, my cousin Feng came from Jiangning's hometown, and Feng Yuting went out to study, so she didn't have to worry. No matter what Feng said in his letter, it is a fact that Feng Yuting broke his appointment and did not go to the capital. Even if you want to go on a study tour, there is no reason not to send a handwritten letter to her eldest sister! Xiao Feng couldn't rest assured in his heart, and he really couldn't make up his mind to leave the Yongjiahou Mansion.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for Feng Yuting's handwritten letter to arrive. Xiao Feng finally knew why his younger brother had missed the appointment.

Feng Yuting won the township examination last fall, even if he knew that he was not in a good place, and there was no hope for this spring, he planned to study quietly for a few years before taking the exam, which was also a great joy for the Feng family. The Feng family has not had such a promising offspring for a long time, how can it not make the Feng family happy? However, Feng Yuting's branch is only left with him and his eldest sister, when the uncle tried to seize the property in the early years, the clansmen bullied their sisters and brothers at a young age, and they had no intention of reaching out, but the Feng family, who married the Qin family's clan, helped them, and said that the marriage between the little Feng family and Qin An allowed the Feng Yuting sisters and brothers to successfully counterattack their uncle and regain the original family wealth by virtue of the name of the Yongjiahou Mansion.

Although since then, the relationship between Feng Yuting's sister and brother and the clansmen seems to have been repaired, and when Feng Yuting returned to his hometown for the exam, he also got along with the clansmen, but in terms of affection, the two sides were really not close. The patriarch of the Feng clan was worried that Feng Yuting would go to Beijing to meet his eldest sister and rely on the Yongjiahou Mansion to get ahead, so he would no longer care about the clansmen. Wouldn't it be a pity if the Feng clan couldn't touch the light of this outstanding son? How could we find a way to deepen his friendship with the clan, so that he wouldn't forget to bring the people of the clan!

So, the wife of the Feng clan patriarch gave him a bad idea.
