When Xu Yan was an adult, Mrs. Meng had already withdrawn from the cabinet, and he didn't ask about political affairs, Xu Yan and Mrs. Meng almost never intersected, and the two official positions of Meng Yingque and Meng Yingshi's brothers were not eye-catching, so the two families had no friendship in the court, and Xu Yan had never had much contact with the courtiers, so this time he suddenly sent someone here to mourn, which was really strange.

The county lord of Rouyin was surprised, but Shen Yu knew it-

Along the way, Xu Yan knew very well that Old Lady Meng was critically ill, and since he had the heart to marry the Shen family, it was not strange that he sent someone over to offer condolences when Old Lady Meng passed away this time.

Jiang Zhen next to him vaguely knew that Xu Yan had taken care of the Shen family, but he didn't know that the two families had already talked about family affairs, and he was also surprised at this time: "My grandfather's family doesn't seem to have anything to do with His Royal Highness King Duan." ”

"That's why I think it's weird." The county lord of Rouyin thought about it, but didn't come up with a suitable reason. Jiang Zhen next to her was curious and asked, "Is the old lady who passed just now from His Royal Highness King Duan's mansion?" ”

"Well, that is Mama Kang, the nurse of His Royal Highness King Duan. Over the years, there has been no hostess in Duanwang's mansion, and Mama Kang has come out to walk around all the housekeeping, she is an old man in the palace, and she also served in front of Concubine Cui back then, and she is also decent, and everyone will be polite. ”

When Shen Yan heard this, she couldn't help but look at the old lady.

Her height is only average, dressed in a brocade dress with autumn fragrance and dark patterns, her hair is made into a bun at the back of her head, and she is embellished with gilt seals, flowers and vines, and a big hairpin, although she is not as grand as the wife of the mother, but the people who come out of the palace are different, and the body is straight, and she looks more energetic than others.

After all, Mama Kang is from the palace, and Mrs. Meng didn't dare to slack off, so she asked Tian to greet her in person, lifted the curtain and entered the hall.

Shen Fei's gaze couldn't follow, and she was a little unsatisfied, her gaze retracted, and she suddenly saw a woman with extremely gorgeous decorations.

The woman was about forty years old, dressed in a satin and fox cheeks, with a hairpin of tired silk beads and a set of blue and gold flowers, followed by two maids and two mothers-in-law.

When she got closer, she saw the slightly upturned Danfeng eyes, her lips were slightly thin, and when she swept over, there was a faint blade.

The county lord of Rouyin poked Jiang Zhen and said, "Look, your aunt is here." ”

"Auntie...... Jiang Zhen was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, "This is from the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion?" ”

The county lord of Rouyin nodded and said, "Yes, a famous and powerful character in the capital." ”

- The so-called power of the county lord of Rouyin does not mean how high her means are or how strong her ability is, but that she is fierce and tough. Although the Wang family is also from a high family, he has cultivated a powerful temperament since he was a child, and he is fashionable in the boudoir and few people have been taught, and when he marries into the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, his powerful temperament will slowly be revealed. The husband who can chase after the sleeping flowers and willows scolded and scolded angrily, making everyone in the house know that this pungent energy is not something ordinary people can have.

Thanks to the fact that her sister-in-law is the eldest princess of Leyang, she can suppress her regardless of her identity or momentum, if this is a change of others, I don't know what the Marquis of Ningyuan Mansion looks like now.

Jiang Zhen had also heard Aunt Jiang talk about this future aunt before, but now when she saw her, she felt that it was better to be famous than to meet. She sent Second Lady Cui into the house, and then sighed faintly.

This aunt is not a good stubble at first glance, her mother-in-law is the eldest princess from the royal family, and there is a sister-in-law of the county lord above, and when she marries into the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion in the future, it is surrounded by strong people, and she can't make a mistake in half a step.

The three of them were watching, and suddenly saw the maid Yusui beside Mrs. Meng lift the curtain and walk in, and said to Shen Yan: "Cousin, the old lady asks you to come over and talk." ”

Mrs. Meng invited her over? Shen Yu was surprised.

She is not familiar with the capital, except for her grandfather's family, there are no acquaintances at all. Now is the time when the house is busy entertaining female guests, why did you call her over instead? Could it be......

A certain doubt came to mind, Shen Yu followed Yusui to the main house, and saw that the hall was full of luxurious ladies, and the maids were methodically changing tea and serving fruits, because there were many people, and there was a charcoal basin in the house, it was a little hot at this time.

Today is a memorial for Mrs. Meng, the visitors are naturally not good to wear too red and green, when choosing clothes, they are mostly plain or royal blue and other calm colors, Rao is so, a glance over, the full of silk Luo splendor, gold hairpin and silver hairpin is also dazzling.

Mrs. Meng sat on a short rosewood couch at the top, and behind her was a hardwood screen. She must be tired today, and this time she will talk to the people around her half-leaning on the pillow, because she is an elderly person, and it is rare to be able to accompany the guests with a strong spirit, and it is not rude.

Shen Yu stepped forward to salute Mrs. Meng, and said softly, "Did my grandmother call me?" ”

Old Madam Meng nodded and said to Mama Kang next to her: "This is my granddaughter, the Shen family's concubine." As he spoke, he said to Shen Yu: "This is Mama Kang in the Duanwang Mansion, salute quickly." ”

Shen Yu already knew in her heart at this time, so she hurriedly bowed and said, "Mama Kang is good".

Mama Kang sat on the pear vine heart square, she came on behalf of His Royal Highness King Duan, so she naturally could stand this gift, so she smiled slightly: "But what a beautiful person, no wonder she can come up with those wonderful methods." As he spoke, he asked the maid at the back to present a brocade box to Shen Yu.

The brocade box was about a foot wide and narrow, Shen Yu didn't dare to take it, thanked her politely, and asked Mrs. Meng for instructions with her eyes.

Old Madam Meng smiled and said, "Since it is a reward from His Royal Highness, I will accept the thanks." ”

Only then did Shen Yu reach out and hold the brocade box to thank her, and then handed it to Yusui next to her.

Mama Kang said: "Here is the velvet blanket brought by Da Mobei, the name sounds thick, but the texture is light and thin." This is all pressed out of the fine fleece of foxes, gray squirrels, goats and other animals, which is soft and warm. The capital is not better than Luling, and it is even colder when it enters the wax moon, and the girl does not hesitate to wear it closely, which is the most cold-proof. ”

Mrs. Meng next to her said: "Thank you for your concern, and when you are filial, you will ask her to thank her." ”

"Miss Shen is kind to our Royal Highness, this is a thank you gift, you don't have to be polite." Mama Kang said.

Shen Yan next to her was confused, she was kind to Xu Yan? Since Xu Yan drove to Luling, she begged Xu Yan to help a lot, but now why did she say it upside down? After thinking about it, maybe Xu Yan couldn't find an excuse, so she said this casually, in exchange for Mama Kang's attitude towards her.

Shen Yu was ashamed, but she also felt warm in her heart - she had been here for the past two days, and she did feel that the capital was extremely cold, and the thing Xu Yan sent was indeed satisfactory.

When the matter was finished here, Mama Kang pursed her lips and looked at Shen Yan with a few glances, then said goodbye and left, and Tian personally sent her out.

In a blink of an eye, Shen Yan saw that Mrs. Shen was sitting and talking with a beautiful woman, her eyes were red, and she couldn't help but feel a twitch in her heart.

Old Madam Meng patted her hand, "I'll send this brocade box to Ruixiang Pavilion first, and go to accompany your mother." ”

Shen Yan said with worry in her eyes: "Grandmother, your body is ......."

"I can hold on, rest assured." Old Madam Meng's tone was kind. Someone next to her came to mourn her, and Shen Yu didn't want to make trouble here, so she went to Mrs. Shen.

Mrs. Shen didn't know how many times she had cried since she entered Beijing, her eyes were red at this time, and when she saw Shen Yu, she forcibly accepted her sadness and said, "This is your Aunt Wei." ”

Shen Yu didn't recognize this "Aunt Wei", but she thought that she was her mother's playmate when she was a child, so she was busy greeting her. That Aunt Wei took her hand and comforted her, and it happened that Aunt Jiang came over and comforted her again.

Here Shen Yan was close to Mrs. Shen, and the mother and daughter clasped their hands, no need to speak, they had the meaning of comfort, warming each other's palms.

Mrs. Shen was probably a little tired, she was a married daughter, and she didn't have to accompany guests like the Tian and Lu families, so she took Shen Yu to the inner room. Who knew that as soon as the soft curtain was lifted, the Lu family walked out, and when he saw that it was their mother and daughter, he stepped back and said, "The third sister thinks she is tired?" Let's take a break. So saying, he went back to the inner room with the mother and daughter.

Mrs. Shen also said: "My brother and sister have been working hard day after day, and I am not in the way here." ”

She actually wanted to move from the inner room to the side to wash her hands, who knew that the Lu family followed closely, and also wiped her hands inside, and said casually: "The third sister is really a blessing, I see that Mama Kang specially called Ah Yu to come over to talk just now, and praised her with a mouth, if only we could be so clever." ”

Mrs. Shen knew that she wanted to lead the topic to Duanwang, but she didn't want to, so she just smiled and said, "Yang'er is still young, but now she is smart and cute, are you afraid that she won't be able to satisfy her younger siblings when she grows up?" ”

Lu just smiled, "Having said that, but Ah Yu can be favored by Mama Kang, where can Yang'er compare." Saying that, he said to Shen Yan, "I heard that Ah Yu is kind to His Royal Highness King Duan, that is a famous god of war, and there is nothing he can't do in the world." Come to think of it, it must be our aunt who must have something extraordinary, so she will win favor, which is really a blessing. ”

Mrs. Shen was slightly displeased.

She knows the way of her parents and children, although the two brothers in the family are not outstanding, they are both people of noble character, and they are married to a Tian family, and they are also well-behaved, advanced and retreated, but this Lu family is ......

Although I don't have to say anything about my talent, my character is really inadequate.

Now that Mrs. Meng is newly mourned, as the daughter-in-law of the Meng family, she doesn't put her mind on business, from beginning to end, but she always stares at the little contact between the Shen family and Xu Yan. It's okay to inquire from Shen Yu before, but it's good today, the old lady's coffin is still parked there, and Mama Kang just left with her front foot, and she inquired about these private matters with great interest on her back foot, is it really idle to this point?

Mrs. Shen didn't like to choke people with words, so she only glanced at Lu and said, "This is strange. My younger siblings think it's been sad and confused for the past two days? After that, without waiting for the Lu family to speak, he took Shen Yu out with the curtain.
