At the beginning of February, the cold had just begun to recede, and the weather was still relatively cold. Yuxi didn't dare to practice in the yard in the morning, and was still in the house.

After the morning exercise, Yuxi said, "I don't know how Zijin is now?" "Last time, she asked someone to send a letter to Zi Jin, but at that time, Zi Jin happened to go out with Master Yang, and when Zi Jin came back, everything on Yuxi's side was taken care of. So Yuxi didn't let Zijin come back.

Zi Su said with a smile: "If the girl misses Zi Jin, let her come back during the Dragon Boat Festival." She's been on the mountain for so long, it's time to come back and see the girl. As long as Zi Su thought of Xie Fei, who Zi Jin had to pay six hundred taels a year, he was distressed to death. But she persuaded the girl, but the girl said that money is a trivial matter, and it is a big thing for Zijin to learn the ability to protect her in the future. She wondered, as a girl, where would anyone plot against her. The incident on the night of the palace change, after all, is a special circumstance, and it is impossible to have it in the future. Shisu could never understand the panic in Yuxi's heart. For Yuxi, things that can spend money to achieve goals have never been a thing.

Yuxi thought for a moment and said, "It's okay." I haven't seen you for so long, and I don't know what has become? "Zi Jin's loyalty to her, Yuxi never doubts, but feelings still need to be contacted. Come back for a few days during the Dragon Boat Festival, and it won't affect anything.

After freshening up, Shisu said, "Girl, it's almost time, it's time to go to the hospital." "Aunt Jia entered the door this day, and she will greet everyone this morning. In the general concubine room, you only need to give a gift to the main mother, and Aunt Jia's situation is a little special, so she sees the gift in the upper courtyard.

When she arrived at the upper courtyard, Yuxi found out that she was the last to arrive. As soon as I entered the house, I found that there was an unfamiliar face in the room.

If it was someone else, he might be embarrassed when it was late, but Yuxi looked calm, stepped forward to salute the old lady and the Qiu family, and then stood beside the Qiu family.

Luo Pozi glanced at the two maids beside her. A maid took a kneeling mat and spread it on the ground, and a maid took a teacup and handed it to Aunt Jia: "Please give tea to Auntie." ”

Yuxi took advantage of this gap to look at Aunt Jia. Aunt Jia is wearing a water-red long skirt today, with a light purple phoenix tail skirt at the waist, a lily bun, a filigree butterfly tassel on the bun, and a begonia style bead flower pinned to the sideburns.

Yuxi nodded secretly in her heart, this woman is definitely a smart one. I just hope it's not an ambition, otherwise the Guogong Mansion will be really lively.

Aunt Jia picked up the tea bowl specially prepared by the old lady for her, respectfully held it above her head, and said, "Please drink tea from the old lady." ”

The old lady took the teacup, took a symbolic sip, and then put down the teacup, and the maid beside her picked up a tray with a pair of durian and hundred sons inlaid with beaded hairpins on it. The old lady said kindly: "Open up the branches and leaves for the Han family as soon as possible." ”

Aunt Jia lowered her head, answered softly, and then served tea to Qiu, still holding the teacup above her head with both hands.

I don't know why, looking at Aunt Jia's action, Yuxi's heart was a little sour, and she couldn't say it.

Qiu Shi took the tea, took a sip gently, and said with a smile: "Good tea." After saying that, June brought the tray to Sanglai, and there was a silver seal wrapped in red paper and a box in the tray.

When Yuxi heard this, he reflexively looked at Ye's family, and saw that Ye's face was not very good-looking. Yuxi sighed slightly in her heart, this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law war is really difficult to avoid, I just hope that it will come later.

Qiu didn't feel that there was anything wrong with him doing this, but said to Aunt Jia with a loving face: "This silver is for your private house, and you can buy whatever you want." There are a few pieces of jewelry in the box, which should be used as a greeting gift. Now, I'm just looking forward to ......"

Hearing this, Yuxi coughed vigorously.

Seeing this, Qiu's center of gravity immediately shifted, pulled Yuxi to his side, touched Yuxi's forehead, and found that his body temperature was normal. However, the Qiu clan didn't dare to take it lightly, and said, "I'll let Doctor Bai come over and show you later." ”

Yuxi shook his head and said, "It's okay when I get up in the morning, maybe it's a breeze blowing here, and I'll be fine when I go back and drink some batches of dew." ”

Qiu didn't know why Yuxi was coughing, how could the old lady not know. The Qiu clan looked at Aunt Jia differently in front of everyone, which made Ye's face go somewhere. Thinking of this, the old lady said: "The ceremony is over, Ming's daughter-in-law, you take the Jia family back to your courtyard." Eldest daughter-in-law, you stay, and everyone else goes back. "There are some things, I still have to remind the Qiu family, so as to save the Qiu family from favoring the Jia family in a daze, and causing discord between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the future.

Hearing this, Yuxi breathed a sigh of relief. The old lady is willing to intervene, and this matter will not be too bad.

Out of the courtyard, Yuchen and Yuxi said, "Yuxi, come to my Tingyun Pavilion to sit?" "Yuxi, who has made a marriage, is still as busy as before.

Yuxi shook his head and said, "I still have something to do, let's do it another day!" "The weather is getting warmer, and Yuxi is ready to fulfill her promise to Zhou Shiya and embroider a fan for her.

Yuchen was a little disappointed: "Okay then! "Yuxi is too diligent, and it's not a good thing. At least she wanted to chat with Yuxi, but she didn't have time.

On the way, Zi Su asked, "Girl, why did you interrupt Madame just now?" Yuxi was coughing at the time, and everyone in the room knew that she was pretending except for Qiu. It's just that Zisu doesn't quite understand why Yuxi did this.

Yuxi said: "The rules of wives and concubines are messed up, and the mansion will not be quiet. "Aunt Jia is a concubine, even if she gives birth to a son in the future, she still can't cross the Ye family. If the mother inserts a pole, it will only muddy the water at that time, and even repeat the events of the previous life, which is not what Yuxi wants to see.

Zi Su frowned and said, "Girl, you can't interfere in the dispute between the eldest grandmother and Aunt Jia, right?" ”

Yuxi said: "I will not meddle in the fight between them, but I will persuade my mother not to meddle in it." "The fight between the Ye family and Aunt Jia, Yuxi will not get involved, and he is not willing to let the Qiu family get involved.

Shisu shook his head and said, "This one is more difficult. Aunt Jia is not stupid, she will definitely think of ways to please Madame. won the love of his wife, and she also had a backer in the mansion. ”

Yuxi smiled and said, "I won't let my mother be her backer." "The so-called backer is actually a shield. Aunt Jia has the ability, so she fights with the Ye family by herself, and if she has no ability, she honestly stays in the yard and lives in peace. She will never let Aunt Jia use her mother as a shield, nor will she allow Aunt Jia to use her mother to deal with the Ye family.

Although Ye is a little dissatisfied with Qiu's temperament, she also knows Qiu's temperament, what she thinks of and does, and she will not consider that she will embarrass herself by doing this. Fortunately, Yuxi stopped her in time, otherwise, she would have no face.

When I returned to the Rosin Temple, I also served tea and salute according to the rules. The Ye family didn't embarrass Aunt Jia, and after giving the meeting gift, she said: "You tossed for a day yesterday, I won't keep you, in the future, what is lacking in your courtyard Although let people go back and forth to me, now that you are a family, you don't have to go outside." ”

"Grandma Xie." Aunt Jia went back to the kneeling mat and kowtowed, and then left with the maid. The maid's name is Shui Ping, she was brought in by Aunt Jia, and the maid who grew up together since she was a child belongs to diehards.

Back in the Osmanthus Courtyard, Aunt Jia sat on the chair, and from getting up early in the morning until just now, she had been tense and nervous. Now, I finally breathe a sigh of relief.

The little maid brought a cup of tea, and Aunt Jia took it and drank it, and then waved her hand to let the little maid go down.

Only then did Shui Ping speak: "Girl, the old lady and the lady are not difficult people to get along with. It's the big grandmother, and I can't see the depth for the time being. ”

Aunt Jia smiled bitterly: "The old lady is high, and she will only watch from the well." Although the eldest grandmother is kind on the surface, she must be very jealous of me inside. As for Madame, there are four girls here, and Madame can't be relied on. "The only ones who can rely on it are myself and the prince.

Shui Ping remembered what happened just now, and was a little confused: "Girl, it's strange to say, the four girls were the last to arrive today, but the old lady was not angry, didn't she say before that the old lady didn't like the four girls?" Today's appearance, doesn't it match the rumors? ”

Aunt Jia said: "Hearing is false, seeing is believing." Besides, the fourth girl was only a little later than me, so she wasn't late. ”

Shui Ping said a little angrily: "Why did the fourth girl interrupt Madame's words just now? We didn't offend her. ”

Aunt Jia shook her head and said, "You don't remember?" The fourth girl Xu is the Chen family of the Taining Hou Mansion, and Mrs. Chen is the aunt of the eldest grandmother. It's normal for the four girls to stand on the grandmother's side. "The Ye family's mother's family is powerful, and the old lady values it, and its position in the mansion is very solid. She can't shake the status of the Ye family, cough, if she wasn't forced to have no way, how could she be this aunt.

The reason why Aunt Jia married Han Jianming as a second room is also helpless. She was taken by the fourth young master of the imperial merchant Jiang family, and the prodigal family wanted to accept her as a concubine. In desperation, she asked for help from the Lord Zhou who had taken refuge. Lord Zhou was reluctant to confront the Jiang family, but he told her that the prince of the Guogong Mansion wanted to accept a second room, and her conditions just met the requirements, and asked her if she was willing. It is better to be the second room of the prince of the Guogong Mansion than to give the Jiang family who only knows that there are several concubines in the family. In desperation, she could only agree to give it a try. Unexpectedly, Han Shizi really took a fancy to her, and promised to help her get back the property swallowed up by the clan, and she agreed immediately after getting this promise. If she can get her family wealth back, her mother will not worry about it for the rest of her life. As for her, she thought that only a cautious person should be able to live well in the Guogong Mansion. But after the morning, she didn't have this confidence.

Shui Ping said very sadly: "Auntie, what should I do then?" ”

Aunt Jia said: "Don't worry, take your time." "When the prince wants to get back the family wealth that the clan has taken away, she will have the money in hand, and then she will slowly return to the people around her. got back to the people around her, took care of her body, and gave birth to a son, and she gained a firm foothold in the Guogong Mansion.
