The table was quickly set up, and the leaf cards were also on the table, and the eldest lady looked at it, "Wan Niang came up and tried it?"

Zhen Wanyi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly shook her head, "No, I haven't learned it yet." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Mrs. Yu San glanced at Mrs. Fourth, "Fourth sister, it's not that you are a sister-in-law, I think you were at home early back then, why are you here now, the eldest girl who is almost fifteen has not learned?"

Without waiting for the fourth wife to answer, Zhen Wanyi said again: "No, third aunt, I am stupid and can't learn this." "When I was in Zhen's house, I also saw the three ladies play with the old lady, but the second wife's stinginess, the eldest lady blindly pleases the old lady, the old lady's eyes are not good, and she can't look down on the second wife, so every time you play cards, you always have to make some temperament, over time, the fourth wife will find an excuse to slip away when she sees playing cards, and there are few opportunities to play cards in the house. If the elders don't fight, these juniors naturally don't have the opportunity to learn.

The fourth wife also thought of this, and said to Zhen Wanyi: "You come and sit next to your mother, this leaf card is simple, almost everyone in the capital can play, you learn a few laps first, and then try it out." ”

Zhen Wanyi was helpless, so she had to sit on the left hand side of the fourth wife and watch, she had seen it a few times when she was in Qinghe City, it was not difficult, but she was not interested. After two laps, the third wife, who played three winning cards in a row, smiled and said: "Come on, I'm here with all my luck today, Zhen Niang come and help my mother change hands." ”

The eldest lady hurriedly stopped, "Hey, it's only been a few laps, Zhuang hasn't finished sitting down, eldest daughter-in-law, you lead a few sisters to reopen a table." ”

Pingniang is a yellow-shaped northern girl, generous and hearty, hearing this, she immediately got up and said to her younger siblings: "Come on, a few of us are not here to hinder the eyes of the elders, go to my place to reopen a table, and our sisters are also lively." ”

Zhen Wanyi followed the crowd and went to Pingniang's room together, all black lacquer, steady and generous, just like the hostess's temperament.

Set up the card table, Lianxiang sat behind Zhen Wanyi to help point the cards, and the women also intended to slow down, chatting while playing cards,

"Next, the capital will be lively for a long time. ”

At the beginning of Grandma Yu's sentence, the corners of Grandma Yu's mouth brought a chuckle, "No, I went to Baorui Pavilion yesterday to remake a hairpin, who knew that Xiao Er told them that several masters there were all unavailable, and they were busy making jewelry for the two princesses who were about to get married. ”

Yu Jinzhen also added, "Not only jewelry, the prices in the entire capital have been raised by a few points." Especially the high-grade huanghuali and red sandalwood, which are now strange goods, and I don't know how much silver money the two princesses have to spend in the palace to prepare the dowry. ”

Grandma Yu Er smiled: "Little sister, you don't know, Anguo Mansion and Pingyang Houfu only need to say a word, and someone will carry the goods to the door." My mother's family has a century-old store in Fuzhou Prefecture, which has a collection of Wu Daozi's paintings, and they were all found and sent to the Anguo Mansion. I heard that Miss Zheng, who is about to become the princess of Jin, is good at painting, and she likes Wu Daozi's painting style the most. ”

Grandma Yu sneered, "Then An Guogong is taking advantage of the situation to suppress people and raise the price of Miss Zheng." ”

The second grandmother frowned slightly, "Suppressing people?

The eldest grandmother nodded, "Isn't it their family, this old lady of the Li family is the secretary of the court, the head of the officials, and the father of the former Queen of Zhongyi, with prestige, real power, and power, the eldest granddaughter Li Yanran and King Jin are cousins and sisters of childhood sweethearts, with such a side concubine, doesn't Princess Jin have a headache?"

This information is all Zhen Wanyi has never heard of. And she also realized that this was a chance for several sisters-in-law to give her a chance to get to know the royal family. The reason why she didn't say it clearly is probably because she is not familiar with each other, and second, she is afraid that her marriage will change. Although the fourth lady didn't say anything, looking at her sometimes in a daze, she was more uncertain in her heart. Who would have thought that the son-in-law with a simple family background who was looking for at the beginning ended up becoming the most complicated family in the world.

This kind of opportunity is rare, Zhen Wanyi pricked up her ears and listened carefully, and even the cards in her hand were almost made of lotus incense. Although the third master of the Zhen family is an official in the court, he is only a supervisor of the country, and the news is far inferior to that of a merchant family like Yufu.

The second grandmother glanced at Zhen Wanyi and said with a smile: "Your Majesty has been on the throne for almost a year, but the position of the prince has been delayed, the king of Jin has married the princess and the concubine this time, Wu has An Guogong, and the text has Li Zhongshuling, but when the limelight is in full swing, I don't know if I will win the crown prince in one fell swoop." ”

The eldest grandmother shook her head, "It's not so simple, the princess that King Ning married this time is the granddaughter of Pingyang Hou, and the side concubine is the daughter of the Hubu Shangshu, and King Ning himself has outstanding military achievements, and his prestige in the army is far better than that of King Jin. Although it is weaker on the side of Wenchen, it has just settled the world, and it will be the time for them to see it in the court in the future. ”

Grandma Pingniang's maiden family was also a scholarly family, her father was born in Jinshi, but her health was not good, and it was difficult to survive in troubled times, so she set up a baby with Uncle Yu early, and her mother's family survived the most difficult moment by relying on Yufu's help, so the grandmother has a deep affection for Yufu, and she takes care of her carefully and properly, plus she has been familiar with poetry and books since she was a child, and her temperament is soft and decent, which is very liked by the elders, and the relationship between the aunt and sister-in-law is also very pleasant.

Zhen Wanyi had also seen the Di Bao in Qinghe City before, and she had a little impression of the eldest grandmother and the second grandmother, but she still didn't understand the intricate interpersonal relationships in their house. asked in a low voice: "King Jin is the son of the former queen, and King Ning is the eldest son of the current queen, so it makes sense for anyone." ”

The eldest grandmother smiled, "King Jin was born to the crown princess when His Majesty was still in the palace, the year Emperor Kang seized the throne, the crown princess fought hard to send King Jin out of the imperial city, and she stayed in the capital after the break, which bought time for Your Majesty to escape to Lingnan." After His Majesty ascended the throne, he chased the former crown princess as the queen of loyalty, and also cared for the king of Jin born to the queen of loyalty. On the other hand, King Ning, he was born to His Majesty after marrying in Lingnan, and he was the fourth in the order. At that time, the king of Pingyang was only a fierce general beside His Majesty, and King Ning began to fight on the battlefield at the age of twelve, and finally besieged the capital and made great achievements. That's why Your Majesty is so embarrassed, there is a saying among the people, Your Majesty should belong to King Jin, you must know that there are two brothers above King Ning, but one is buried in Jinshan, the other has a broken leg, and now he only has the title of King Xianjun, for King Ning, His Majesty has always had a laissez-faire attitude, and has never been personally with him like King Jin. Come to think of it, His Majesty's feelings for Empress Zhongyi are still very deep. (To be continued.) )
