Qin Hanzhen and Cai Yuanzhen's rare moment of conversation and small gathering did not last long. Yao soon brought people to Fuguiju again.
This time, she was worried that her new daughter-in-law might feel hungry in her belly, and she didn't feel at ease, so she specially asked people to prepare shredded chicken noodle soup and a few delicious snacks to feed Yu Xinlan, which can really be said to be a caring mother-in-law. She took the trouble to tell the girls in the courtyard once again to wait for the young grandmother, and asked Qin Jian's two big girls if they had taken good care of Yu Xinlan's wedding girl, and then they had to take Qin Jinhua and their sisters back to the table together, and passed by the tearoom and greeted Qin Hanzhen and Cai Yuanzhen.
Yao's smile groaned, looking fiery but full of energy: "Princess Xiuning has asked about you several times in front of me. You'd better go back quickly, otherwise Princess Xiuning will look for me again in a while. He said to Cai Yuanzhen again, "The show ahead is about to start, Second Miss Cai and Third Miss Cai are waiting with our five girls and six girls, why don't you go and see it together?"
Qin Han was a little helpless in his heart, and when he glanced back at Cai Yuanzhen, they both understood that they couldn't talk in detail today. They all went back to the new room to say hello to Yu Xinlan, and then returned to the banquet according to Yao's wishes, and continued to eat, watch plays, and socialize.
Today's wedding banquet in the Chengenhou Mansion is indeed very lively. Both the men's and women's seats have invited a troupe, and they can sing well. The sound of all kinds of gongs, drums, and pipes spread to the streets, and there was a celebration inside and out. Even passers-by who pass by by chance outside the door can rejoice and get the candy and money distributed by the gatekeeper of Chengenhou's Mansion, so they naturally have to say auspicious words, and everyone is happy. If there is leisure, enter the door and drink a glass of water and wine, and the porter will greet you with a smile, not at all the arrogance and arrogance of weekdays.
Such a festive scene is a little unpleasant in the eyes of the people sitting in a carriage parked on the side of the road diagonally opposite the street in front of the Chengenhou Mansion.
The girl sitting on the wheel couldn't stand the cold wind, and the whole person was about to shrink into a ball, and the coachman gently touched her arm, she looked back impatiently, but saw the coachman give her a look, and then looked at the direction of the carriage. The girl hesitated for a moment, but after all, her own needs prevailed, carefully lifted the corner of the cotton curtain, got in, and said softly: "Big girl, let's go, let's go? It's not too early, if you don't go back to the mansion, if the old lady finds out, you will definitely be punished again!"
Pei Yin glanced at her, lifted the curtain hatefully and looked in the direction of the Chengenhou Mansion, dropped the curtain and ordered: "Go!" Now the grandmother housekeeper is indeed much stricter than before, and she doesn't dare to be careless. After all, I'm getting old, and after filial piety this year, I have to say a good family. Without the support of her grandmother, her future may not be good if she relies on her parents alone. Sometimes, I still have to give my grandmother a little face.
The girl didn't know what her girl was thinking, but she knew that she was finally able to get out of trouble, so she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly told the coachman to turn the direction of the carriage and return to the side door of the Guogong Mansion. They came out secretly, and the janitor who had checked the side door beforehand, and now when they go back, they will have to go the same way again.
During the journey, the girl can no longer sit on the outside wheel, but stay in the warm car with a charcoal basin and a hand stove. But at the same time, if Pei Yin wants to say anything to her, even if it is just casually mentioned, she can't pretend to be silent anymore.
Pei Yin asked her: "You said that Yu Xinlan's family background, why didn't she marry into the Yunyang Marquis Mansion, but married Qin Er's brother? What does Qin Er's brother have? Even if he can read a few books and has a reputation for himself, the Cheng'en Marquis Mansion is just a virtual shelf, with neither saints nor real power, if it weren't for the support of the Yongjia Marquis Mansion, I'm afraid that he would have been defeated a long time ago!
The girl has been waiting for Pei Yin for a long time, and she also knows what kind of answer her own girl will like: "If you want to come to the Chengen Marquis Mansion, you still have a title, and it is not humiliating for Miss Yu to marry her." No matter how beautiful Shou Shanbo is now, after all, the foundation is still worse. His family is also a civil official, how can he marry a family like the Marquis of Yunyang? Since the eldest young master of the Marquis of Cheng'en Mansion is a man, he will be settled. ”
Pei Yin snorted coldly: "Where is the matter so simple? In the family of Emperor Xungui's relatives, the children are famous, and Qin Jian is not the only one! I think it is Shou Shanbo who knows that he is weak and weak, even if he is in the current situation, it may not last long. No matter how depressed the Chengenhou Mansion is, the relationship between his family and the Yongjiahou Mansion alone will not decline. Yongjiahou will always bring up the younger generations of the family. Therefore, Shoushan Bo would rather give up a daughter and find an ally for the Yu family. Shou Shanbo already had a high status, and he was well-known among civil officials and scholars, and he had the prince's own uncle's family as his arm, and when he said a good family to his eldest son-in-law, maybe it would be Cai Yuanzhen! Cai Da still had no family! In this way, the three families of Qin, Yu, and Cai were in contact with each other, and they had Wen, Wu, and even the imperial family, so what else was there to worry about in the future? Shou Shanbo's wishful thinking was really loud!
The girl smiled dryly and said, "The girl's eyes are like torches, she really couldn't be smarter!" In fact, she didn't understand Pei Yin's words very much, but at this time, she only needed to flatter the girl.
But these two sentences of flattery did not make Pei Yin happy, but she was a little angry: "My grandfather was also glorious in those days, and the emperor still remembers his exploits! But why is it that no one in our Pei family can inherit his grandfather's mantle and make achievements in officialdom? Even if he has been restrained in order to serve his grandfather all these years, it is not impossible to be promoted when he stays in the capital, but they are only in the sixth or seventh grade. If my father and uncles could compete a little more, after my grandfather died, our Pei family would not have fallen to the point where it is now. Who said that the wishful thinking of Shoushan Bofu, our Pei Guogong Mansion can't beat it?"
Speaking of this, she gritted her teeth: "Qin Jinyi is just a broken family, and she is not of the same mind as the Pei family, the Pei family still wants to keep her and keep the in-law relationship with the Qin family! If the grandfather is still alive and the holy family is not reduced, where does the Pei family need to suffer such grievances? Even if our Pei family is guarding filial piety, they should not lack courtesy! Whether or not to go to the banquet is our own business, but there are so many in-laws in the Qin family, only our family has no post, what is the matter? The Qin family clearly does not take our Pei Guogong Mansion seriously, only the uncles and aunts are still deceiving themselves, saying that it is because our family is guarding filial piety! Grandmother actually believes them!
The girl lowered her head and didn't speak, thinking to herself: It's not that Pei Guogong's Mansion can't beat the wishful thinking of Shoushan Bofu, but that the girl has to overturn the abacus! At the beginning, the eldest grandmother also thought about marrying the girl to the eldest young master of the Chengenhou Mansion, but the girl herself refused to marry, so what's the point of saying this now?
Pei Yin didn't know that the girl was vomiting her own noise in her heart, she was stirring the handkerchief in her hand, secretly thinking: "The Cheng'en Mansion is absolutely untrustworthy! I don't even send wedding cards, I don't say hello, I don't regard our Pei Guogong Mansion as a serious in-law at all, even if our family doesn't give gifts on weekdays, and my brother asks someone to send some articles to Qin Jian from time to time to comment, it's all in vain! The royal family in Beijing is not only the Qin family, but there are still many people in Zhenglong. The second room is still daydreaming, and plans to wait for next year's filial piety, and then send the second sister to the draft. If you have that kind of spare work, it is better to tell her a good kiss! The Cai family now has a lot of people in Liaodong, and maybe next year they will make a meritorious service, and their future will be different. Marrying the second sister into the Marquis of Yunyang Mansion is also a good way. The second son of the Cai family has not yet been married, and he is still compatible with the second sister. There is also the royal palace of the Jingzhong clan, I remember that there are also a few children who have never said that they are married, and they all have titles on their bodies, which is in line with my age......"
The girl couldn't help but glance at Pei Yin again: The Cai family's relatives only had the girl nod that day, and they also made trouble for the girl herself, and now she will say this again......
But Pei Yin didn't notice it, she only knew that she was the daughter of the Guogong Mansion, and her talent and appearance were very outstanding, as long as the elders were willing to take care of her, the family affairs of those princes and nobles were still expected to be talked about. She is not a broken household like Qin Jinyi, how can she be arrogant and marry indiscriminately? Whether it is Qin Jian or Cai Qiqi, she is not worthy of her! If Yu Shizi from Shoushan Bofu comes to propose marriage, she can still reluctantly give in. It's just that Yu Xinlan is only afraid of holding a grudge against her, and it is impossible for her to be her sister-in-law. She still has to work hard to fight for a bright and splendid future for herself!
If it weren't for the object that satisfied her, she would never nod her head and agree to marry easily!
Pei Yin's carriage stayed opposite the gate of the Chengenhou Mansion for half an hour, but except for the people in the concierge who looked at it twice, curious about who was sitting in the carriage, no one in the Qin family knew that she had been here. Qin Hanzhen ate a banquet for a day, and when he returned to the palace of Suning County, he only felt a sore back and a surge of alcohol, which was even more tiring than running 800 meters.
She quickly took a hot shower, changed into clean and warm homely clothes, and lay down in the warm pavilion in the living room while drinking tea while resting, feeling that she was really not the material of communication. This kind of banquet can still be less in the future. On a cold day, the food is not sweet, and it is too hard to rack your brains to talk to people.
At this time, Lian Shi came into the house to report: "The shou steward asked someone to hand in the message, saying that it was ordered by the princess of the county before, and asked the people of the fleet to send the Li family, the former prince of Shu, back to Shu in the spring of tomorrow." Today, Li sent a letter to her, saying that she had contacted her brother. Her brother has been pardoned and is preparing to return to Beijing, hoping to be reunited with his family in the next month. Li said that he was coming to kowtow to the princess of the county to thank him. The Shou steward didn't agree, he just sent people back, and now he came to ask the princess of the county to show me, do you want to let the Li family enter the mansion?"
Qin Hanzhen raised his eyebrows: "So fast? The Li family can be regarded as getting what he wants this time, right?" Suddenly remembered that Zhao Mo was still in Liaodong, and I don't know what happened to him now? On a cold day, should she prepare a few more winter clothes and let someone send them to him?
