Chapter 147
The courtyards of the Fu Mansion and the side branches are separated, and there is almost no intersection on weekdays, and the side branches live like an independent courtyard in the Fu Mansion. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
However, the side branch naturally wanted to come to the old lady and the ladies in person to say some New Year's greetings, but it was also face-to-face, and it couldn't be delayed for too long.
In this way, on the first day of the New Year, Fufu will gather all the children and grandchildren together for dinner, and talk to them for a while, which is no different from weekdays.
And the New Year of the ladies of the capital is naturally not the same country women generally just visit relatives, they are idle all day long, naturally they are familiar with each other, and they don't care much about each other's relatives, in their eyes, they just participated in the invitation.
So two days later, some people began to invite people to their own house to enjoy the snow and plum blossoms, but the talk was also the interesting things in the house in the past few days, and the idle ladies gathered to chat but it was also interesting.
Mrs. Lin is unwilling to fiddle with these troublesome things, so she rarely fiddles with invitations in the mansion, and only when she has to do such things will she start to do it, so naturally she will not compete with them at this time.
I just brought my children with me.
This time, it was the post of the Qin Mansion that came early, one is the Seven Princes' Party, and the other is the princelings, so naturally there will be no good friendship. But if this layer of window paper is punctured, it will naturally not be good for the two families, and it will inevitably lead to a more blatant atmosphere of the court Laban faction, which is extremely unfavorable to the stability of the court.
However, this time she took Yueniang with her.
Yueniang originally refused on the grounds that Xi Shi was preparing for the Lantern Festival, but she was rejected by the personal maid sent by Mrs. Lin because it would not hinder her at this time, so she no longer insisted.
The Lord of the Qin Mansion has a wife and a concubine, so naturally not everyone believes in the saying of a lifetime and a couple, and there are almost only a handful of people in the capital such as Master Xie and Fu Ruiyuan.
Coincidentally, Master Qin's wives and concubines all gave birth to a boy and a girl.
The two sons and daughters are called Qin Geng and Qin Qianman respectively. Qin Geng and Fu Mingxuan are about the same age as Xie Fu Xie San, and they all went to school in the same place when they were young, and Qin Qianman is just a few years younger than the crown prince, so he is also the hottest candidate for the crown princess.
The names of the concubines are Qin Jingxing and Qin Wuxing, Qin Jingxing has nothing to do in the family, and he has no name, but he is like the children of ordinary scholars who have never been noticed.
Mrs. Lin retired from the Rong Ma robe, and she didn't like to have intersections with these people except for her husband and children, but she also wanted to maintain the relationship with various families, and she had the right to pass the time between the banquets.
But she played very well with the lady of the Xie family.
The two knew each other when they were children, and their personalities were very similar, and they were generous with a little pungent energy, and they were very speculative when they spoke.
And the lady of the Xie family saw that Mrs. Lin ran to the front line with her husband, and her heart was also envious, but her husband was the current prince of heaven who was the prince back then, and the current prince of the country was the priest of wine, all of whom had nothing to do with the military attachΓ©, and now that she is older, this desire is not as strong as before, and it is just a little regretful in the bottom of her heart.
However, later, I looked down on it, and I was also relieved to see my child gradually coming out and falling, so I thought about putting my ambitions on my son.
Naturally, if she wants to compare her life to her daughter, she still hopes that she will find a good family like herself, teach her husband and children well, and enjoy the joy of family life with children and grandchildren in the future, which is also the happiest thing in a woman's life.
Whenever she talked to Mrs. Lin, Mrs. Lin scolded her for becoming more and more courageous, and her thoughts were so pedantic, but she only smiled.
Although she hopes that her daughter will be like herself, if she has her own ideas and wants to live the life of her dreams, she will not interfere with it.
Yes, she's really old.
The lady of the Xie family naturally brought her daughter Xie Qiongju here today, and the relationship between the mothers is good, and Jingshu and the two are naturally better with Xie Qiongju.
And, Yueniang is a new face, and the news that she has only returned home in recent months is naturally spreading in the circle of noblewomen, three women in one play, especially this kind of idle woman who has eaten all day long.
Everyone was talking about it in private, and even suspected that Yueniang was Fu Ruiyuan's illegitimate daughter, and now that she saw the real person, she was curious.
But the status of Fu Mansion is there, and they don't know Mrs. Lin's pungent temperament back then, so they won't chew their tongues in front of Mrs. Lin to make fun of themselves.
It was still the lady of the Xie family who beckoned to Yueniang first: "You are Jia Yue, right?" Come and let you see Xie Niang, I haven't seen you for many years, but she is becoming more and more generous." I'm afraid you don't know that I hugged you when you were a child. At that time, you were white and tender, but you were naughty, and you grabbed Xie San's hand and didn't let go. β
The lady of the Xie family was full of smiles between the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, looking very close and beautiful, seeing that Yueniang looked at her puzzledly, she continued: "Ouch, I am really, you were still young at that time, how could you remember these things, Xie San is your brother Xie Bai, he is now training with your brother Mingxuan in the school field, you will see it later." β
Yueniang leaned over and saluted: "Xie Niang is good." β
"It's really well-behaved and sensible," Xie Niangzi hugged Yueniang into her arms, without the slightest sense of strangeness when she met for the first time, and immediately took out a silver-white necklace from her sleeve and hung it on Yueniang's neck, saying, "This is Xie Niang's meeting gift, but you have put it away, but you are not allowed to send me away." β
Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Mrs. Lin's face was not different, and the light in her eyes flickered, but it was only fleeting, and she immediately returned to her original state.
Yueniang looked down and saw that the necklace was about the size of a thumb, and the sharp edges and corners were very good-looking, although she couldn't see the specific shape, she liked it very much, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of intimacy in her heart, holding the pendant of the necklace in her hand and said: "Jia Yue will definitely keep it well, thank you so much." β
"Good, don't be polite to Xie Niang. β
However, Mrs. Lin was not happy, and said angrily: "But I took something to kidnap my daughter again, but I haven't seen her for a month, and Jingshu is at home from time to time that she hasn't seen Xie Niang for a long time, and she misses it tightly." But I heard that the vinegar jar couldn't be turned over, as if you were her own mother. I don't care, but now I want to make it clear, that is, I won't change the priceless treasures when they are in my hands. β
Xie Niangzi hugged Yueniang more and more affectionately and said: "Don't look at this person, but looking at Huanxi to give her daughter a decent thing, it is to be careful to such an extent, who is going to give you it." β
Yueniang knew that Mrs. Lin didn't really hurt herself like this, but it was just because she was on good terms with Xie Niangzi, and she was just joking between the two, and she probably didn't want outsiders to know about many things in between.
It's clear in my heart that I don't care about that.
However, before Mrs. Lin could speak, Jing Shu, who was standing beside Mrs. Lin, was a little jealous and said, "Xie Niang, Jing Shu is also here, and I don't see you giving Jing Shu a gift." β
"Look at these two girls, they are really mother and daughter, they are just a temperament," Seeing Jing Shu pouting and opening her little mouth, Xie Niang smiled more and more happily, and hurriedly beckoned to Jing Shu, "Come on, come on, how could Xie Niang forget Jing Shu, she has already prepared, how about taking a look at this gift?"
Jingshu opened the gift box and saw that there were two chess bowls neatly placed inside, and the chess bowls were full of crystal clear black and white chess pieces, and the feel was also upper, so she was pleasantly surprised, "Wow, the chess pieces made by the sheep fat jade!" Big brother has a game, I am very envious, and now I also have it." β
Seeing that her daughter, who had worked so hard to raise, was bought so easily by a few gadgets, Mrs. Lin couldn't help but sigh in her heart that the daughter was not retained, and said even more angrily: "You will abduct my daughter, and sooner or later your Xie Mansion will be removed." β
Xie Niangzi smiled even more heartily and said: "If you move out, you can exchange these two smart and clever daughters, I am very willing." β
Mrs. Lin is the master who is at her disposal, but this time she beckoned to Xie Qiongju who was standing next to Xie Niangzi, and said in a pitiful tone: "Look, Qiongju girl, but you were snubbed by your mother? Come to me and let me take care of you." β
Xie Qiongju had long been accustomed to the banter between the two adults, but how could he still be fooled? He just covered his mouth and snickered: "Mrs. Lin, don't let me in again." β
Mrs. Lin couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "Look, this is just a young age, just like your mother. β
However, before Xie Niangzi could speak, a dignified but slightly lazy voice came from the side of the path: "It's a lively conversation here, but what's so happy?"
Before anyone heard his voice, there must be only Mrs. in this Qin Mansion.
Yueniang looked for the voice, and saw a woman in a light red goose feather coat walking towards this side, the woman was similar to Mrs. Lin and Xie Niangzi, about early forties, and she was also very well maintained, but there was an innate charm between her eyebrows and eyes, but it did not hinder her graceful and luxurious posture.
This woman, I'm afraid that every man who sees it will be a touch of poison.
Xie Niangzi replied with a smile; Didn't you see the girl of Jiayue who had been hidden for many years?"
In the words, there is no difference in the slightest, as if the two also have a very good relationship.
Mrs. Wang was interested when she heard this, looked at the little girl beside her, and said, "Oh, you are Jia Yue?"
Seeing that Yueniang shouldn't respond, Xie Niangzi was busy explaining to her: "She is the eldest lady of the Qin Mansion, you can call her Mrs. Wang." β
Yueniang said, "Hello Mrs. Wang." β
Mrs. Wang was now sitting down in the pavilion and said, "If she is well-behaved and clever, no wonder she has been hiding for ten years, and she is carefully raised in secret." β
Yueniang has only been back from the village for a few months, although the ceremony room can be regarded as having the demeanor of everyone's ladies, but compared with these girls who have been carefully raised for more than ten years, it is inferior. Mrs. Wang said this, but she was secretly mocking, how could Xie Niangzi and Mrs. Lin not hear it?
Mrs. Lin didn't have the slightest annoyance on her face, but said with a smile: "Naturally, it's not as good as my sister's daughter, Brother Xuan'er has been training with the prince in the school field recently, but I often hear the prince mention the man, and I think he has a very good impression of the man." β
It's a pity that the prince is unpredictable, sometimes calm and sometimes stubborn, and he didn't say anything about Qin Qianman's offensive at all, as if he didn't know it at all, and when they met, they just greeted him out of courtesy.
This is also the reason why Han Guifei wants to hold a lantern festival in the palace during the Lantern Festival to invite girls from all walks of life, first, the emperor is also old, and the prince is too old to marry the princess.
Although the emperor also knew that Qin Qianman of the Qin family was the most suitable candidate, his son's refusal to express his position could not help but worry him. When he asked him specifically, he only said that the stability and happiness of the people's lives was what he cared about most now, and the love of children and daughters would last for a long time, but it seemed that the emperor was pedantic and anxious. The emperor would not say anything to reprimand his son with such a burden, but he also knew his son's nature, and he was afraid that he would be dissatisfied with it.
Second, the daughters of these three families in the capital have all grown up, and it's time to help check it.
When all the women heard this, they couldn't help but cover their mouths and snicker, if Qin Qianman was really not selected as the crown princess, I am afraid that she would really laugh off her big teeth at that time.
Yueniang didn't know the relationship between the various families in Beijing, and was wondering, only to see Jing Shu whispering in her ear.
However, after a few words, she couldn't help but chuckle out loud, seeing that everyone was watching her like a show, Yueniang hurriedly lowered her head, caught a glimpse of Jingshu's gloating look, and stuck out her tongue at her.
And Qin Qianman didn't have a good impression of the Xie family and the people of the Fu family, and now he looked at Yueniang with an unkind face, but at a glance, he restored his original solemn and elegant complexion.
These people are not worthy of her anger, but when she becomes the crown princess in the future, they are good-looking.
Angry, but there is no need to come out now, the future will be long.
And although she had already thought of what to deal with, she knew that adults and children should not interject, so she just stood quietly.
Mrs. Wang snorted coldly and said: "The prince's mind is not something we can speculate, and this person who can be a big person doesn't care about the affection of these children. Today, the prince invited the little girl into the palace to play, but the little girl politely refused, after all, it is the prince, the future emperor, or spend more time familiar with government affairs. β
Madame Lin said disapprovingly: "What Mrs. Wang said is funny, the emperor has not yet determined the choice of succession, and there is obviously a more excellent seventh prince there, but what do you mean by this? You originally knew the emperor's thoughts?"
Seeing that there was a smell of gunpowder in the conversation, the other women in the house naturally knew their catties, so they held their breath and did not speak, quietly watching this good show.
Or Xie Niangzi played a round and said: "A few women are actually discussing state affairs that can't be beaten by eight poles here, if it is spread out, it will not be laughed off, but I have a headache when I listen to it, but you are not allowed to talk about it anymore." β
