After Xia Wen learned about the Song family brothers, he was also very happy, and said, "I never thought that Ah Rang's family would be in the imperial capital." ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "I wanted to tell you last night, but I forgot about it for a while." ”

Xia Wen smiled, "It's never too late for such a happy event." The day after tomorrow, let's go to the clan uncle, I'll write a post to see when Agen is cheap, we should meet. ”

Zhao Changqing naturally said yes and smiled, "My sister is still thinking about Sister Fu." ”

While the two were talking, Yongfu came in and replied, "Grandma, the ingredients are packed up." ”

Zhao Changqing said, "I'll take a look when I bring it in." ”

The two maids held in a few horses of purple and red silk materials, Zhao Changqing took a closer look, nodded and said, "Okay, the color is good, send it to the eldest girl." Tell the eldest girl, don't save it, this is for her to make a dress. Let her do whatever she likes. ”

Yongfu responded with a smile and took the little girl ring to deliver something. Xia Wen asked, "Is it for Xiaoyu?" ”

"Hmm. It's hot when I see it, and my sister is when she is young and loves beauty, so she asks her to make clothes. Zhao Changqing smiled, "Girls are no better than boys, and they can wear anything." The girl still has to dress up, not to mention that her sister is also growing up, and it's time to dress up. When I bought a ring, I especially bought a few skillful ones who can do needlework, which can just make some favorite styles. The second brother doesn't understand this, and I sent his share to my mother-in-law. ”

Zhao Changqing gave Xia Yu and Xia Wu, not Zhao Lian's share. Zhao Lian cried while guarding Mrs. Xia, "My cousin-in-law must be disgusted with me." ”

Mrs. Xia comforted her granddaughter, "Isn't it just a few horses, what's good, my grandmother also has it here, you can use it to make new clothes." "I said that Zhao Changqing was stingy, but he was worried about Zhao Lian's child, this must be a grudge against Zhao Lian when she first returned to Shuzhong. But the thing belonged to Zhao Changqing, she didn't give it to Zhao Lian, and Mrs. Xia couldn't grab it, so she asked someone to take a few horses she had saved to Zhao Lian. It's pitiful, I don't know which year I saved it, and the color is not delicate and bright, Mrs. Xia and Aunt Xia are suitable for making clothes, but they are not suitable for little girls to wear. Zhao Lian didn't refuse, after thanking her grandmother, she wiped her eyes, stopped crying, and crossed her fingers to think about when to go to Xia Yu to get two horses of material.

Aunt Xia just blew the wind in her mother's ear, "My nephew and daughter-in-law really can't afford to offend, Sister Lian'er is a child, she offended her once three or four years ago, and she holds a grudge until now." ”

Old Mrs. Xia really couldn't do anything with Zhao Changqing, so she frowned and said, "Since you know her temper, don't offend her again!" Tell Sister Lian to go to her cousin-in-law more when she has time, walk around, say a few more good words, family, where can you hold a grudge or not? Good words don't cost money. "When I first came to the imperial capital, I lived in Zhao Changqing's house, and I used someone's maid and maid, and Mrs. Xia couldn't shake her majesty if she wanted to, so she had to stop for the time being.

However, Mrs. Xia walked to Xia Shaoqing's mansion and almost lost half of her life.

Xia Shaoqing is the fourth grade, Mrs. Xia Shaoqing is the fourth grade of Gongren, Xia Gongren is also a mother-in-law, that is called a majestic and majestic, the three daughters-in-law stand beside him to serve, and they sit in the realm of nothing. When it was time to eat at noon, the three Xia grandmothers were also on the side to manage the chopsticks and luxury, holding the food and persuading the dishes, in short, a group of maids and women watched, and the three Xia grandmothers were busy.

Mrs. Xia didn't feel like this in her heart, thinking that Xia Gong was the majesty of being a mother-in-law. Watching other people's mothers-in-law do it, it is really a fairy enjoyment, how can she be so aggrieved as herself, look at her granddaughter-in-law's face everywhere to live, and you have to pay for your own meals.

Mrs. Xia was very uncomfortable, Xia Gongren smiled, "Brother and sister just use it with peace of mind, I told her as soon as my nephew and daughter-in-law came back, the big family in the imperial capital, the rules are like this." ”

Mrs. Xia smiled and said in her heart that her daughter-in-law had told her that Xia Shaoqing's house had strict rules and didn't want to be so awkward. I think when the old lady Xia was mean, she didn't do this, oh my God, what kind of life did the daughters-in-law of the imperial capital have.

After a while, after rinsing their mouths, everyone moved outside to talk and drink tea. Xia Gongren smiled, "I thought about asking my nephew and daughter-in-law about something." ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "Uncle Niang wants to ask me about something, this is strange." ”

Xia Gongren smiled, "Naturally, it's something you know." I heard that Su Tanhua is your fellow countryman? ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "I have been studying with Mr. Su since I was a child, and Ah Bai is the same as my younger brother. ”

As soon as he heard this, he knew that Zhao Changqing was indeed familiar with the Su family, and Xia Gongren's smile deepened a little, "I want to inquire with you, Su Tanhua's family affairs can be decided?" Do you know? ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "Although it hasn't been decided, it's eight out of ten." First, Ah Bai had a leave to return to the border city, and someone talked to Mr. about matchmaking, I think Mr. is very interested, and when Ah Bai comes back, this matter will be almost inseparable. ”

Xia Gongren was very confident, and said, "That is not decided, which one is it?" If you want me to say, it may not be as good as I say. ”

It was the first time Zhao Changqing heard someone say kiss like this, not like kissing, but like robbing kiss. Zhao Changqing smiled quietly, "Uncle Niang is not an outsider, so I'll just say it." It is the matchmaker made by the grandmother Song of the Chengenhou Mansion and the Duchess of Qi Guo, talking about the same clan of the Qi family, the daughter of the Qi Shilang family of the Ministry of Rites. ”

Xia Gongren immediately stuffed eggplant in his mouth, not to mention the Chengenhou Mansion and the Qi Guogong Mansion, it was Qi Shilang, and he was also a high-ranking official in the imperial capital. Xia Gongren's face was a little unbearable, but fortunately, she was a lively person, and smiled, "Alas, this is an excellent family affair." "She just has a big face, and she doesn't want to compete with the Qi family for her uncle.

Zhao Changqing smiled, "Yes." She didn't like Xia Gongren's personality, and she was too lazy to be a matchmaker, so she refused to answer Xia Gongren's words again, but Aunt Xia's blind aunt asked, "Which family did my sister-in-law just say?" ”

Xia Gongren smiled, "Since the Su family has a candidate, I am a step late, so don't mention it again, but make the girl's face look bad." ”

Aunt Xia touched a soft nail and smiled and stopped talking.

And so it went.

The family had a tasteless lunch, and when the man was waiting in front, they said goodbye to Xia Gongren and others. Because Mrs. Xia was there, Xia Gongren sent out of the room and asked the three daughters-in-law to send Mrs. Xia to wait until the second door. Xia Gongren leaned on the couch, closed his eyes and pondered, how could his granddaughter's family affairs be so unsmooth? First of all, he said that Cheng Enhou's second son didn't succeed, but this time he looked at Su Tanhua, who knew that he would give people a head start?

Mrs. Xia and her daughter were in the same car, and Xia Yu whispered, "The clan uncle's family has such a big pomp, I don't think the clan elders and ladies will be like this." Mother, is everyone in the imperial capital like this? ”

Mrs. Xia herself didn't know, and said, "Not really." ”

Xia Yu said, "If you want to be like the clan uncle's family, the daughter-in-law of the imperial capital will have a hard time." ”

Mrs. Xia said softly, "Don't say this outside, each family has its own rules." "It's Shuzhong, it's not a family that doesn't rub a daughter-in-law, and if you really meet a tricky mother-in-law, it's like eight lifetimes of blood mold.

When he got home, Xia Wen was slightly drunk, Zhao Changqing ordered someone to bring plum tea, Xia Wen said while drinking tea, "I didn't drink much, my father drank a lot." ”

Zhao Changqing said, "How are you eating?" ”

Xia Wen said, "It's not an occasion to eat. ”

Zhao Changqing said, "I was prepared for the loss. Mingyahuan brought some porridge and side dishes, and said, "If there are more, send one to the old lady and one to the wife." "Mrs. Xia and Mrs. Xia are going to Xia Shaoqing's Mansion for the first time, and they don't look like they have eaten well. Anyway, Zhao Changqing had dinner with Xia Gongren by himself, and he was not full of food.

Xia Wen used some porridge and vegetables, and Zhao Changqing saw that he was a little drunk, so he served him to rest.

Afterwards, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked about the rules of Shaoqing Mansion, and Zhao Changqing smiled, "I also misunderstood before, in the past, the big families in the imperial capital were like this, but I was shocked." Later, when I went to the Mansion of Qi Guo, Mrs. Qi and Grandma Qi were not to mention much harmony, they were really like mother and daughter, we were all sitting and talking together, not like the family uncle's mansion. ”

In fact, not only does the Qiguo Mansion not have those rules, but it is the Chengenhou Mansion, and it is not as pompous as Xia Shaoqing's Mansion.

The Chengenhou Mansion invited the Xia family to come over, and the old lady Song had returned to the imperial capital, and after listening to the old lady Song, she knew that the noble ladies in the imperial capital also had their own temperaments. Mrs. Song's voice is extremely high, and if she doesn't know it, she can be Mrs. Song's natural big voice, then it is a misunderstanding, Mrs. Song's big voice is acquired. Since her granddaughter became the queen of the Middle Palace, the old lady Song's voice was an octave higher than before. Mrs. Song was extremely enthusiastic about the Xia family, knowing that this was the person who had helped her family and grandchildren, and did not let Mrs. Xia salute, giggling and laughing brightly, and said, "I heard that you have arrived, so I want to invite you to come to the house for dinner." My family, Agen, has taken care of you before. ”

Old Mrs. Xia knew that this was the queen's own grandmother, and hurriedly said, "Don't dare to be, you are too polite." ”

Mrs. Song smiled, "What's polite, this is a truthful word." ”

Just these two sentences, coupled with the neat vegetable patch in Mrs. Song's courtyard, Zhao Changqing knew that Mrs. Song was still the same grassroots style as before, but it was also cute.

Mrs. Song is a straight person, she is really close to the Xia family who is kind to her, as for the scheming or something, Mrs. Song has not yet practiced. It's Mrs. Xia, who is used to being in the nest, and comes out with a soft egg, facing the queen's grandmother, her nervous tongue is knotted, and she can't speak neatly.

Mrs. Xia is better, but she is worried that she will lose if she says too much, so she just follows Mrs. Song. She didn't dare to take credit, and said, "From Shuzhong to the border city, if it weren't for Uncle Song accompanying me all the way, I wouldn't dare to imagine." "This is from the heart, her son helped Song Jiarang, but Song Jiarang is also good to her family, and there are many helps. The friendship between the two families was really established in adversity.

When Aunt Xia arrived, she was really a little embarrassed, and she directly showed her stammering face. To say a word of conscience, there are really many people who want to befriend Mrs. Song, and the Xia family is also one of them. However, smart people will not show their ugliness even if they want to stammer, and they can't be too out of place, such as Aunt Xia's words, "You look really young, as if you are about the same as me." ”

Oh my God, this is false, Mrs. Song's head is white, maybe it is because she suffered a lot from the grassroots before, and then she became rich, and she couldn't maintain it if she wanted to. Aunt Xia's words were just talking nonsense with her eyes open. Mrs. Xia's mother wants to pounce and sew the eldest daughter's mouth!

Fortunately, Mrs. Song didn't care, she smiled and said a few words to Mrs. Xia and Mrs. Xia first, praised Zhao Changqing, Xia Yu and Zhao Lian, and gave Xia Yu and Zhao Lian a lot of meeting gifts.

The Xia family came from an ordinary background, and when they first entered the Hou Mansion, they were very nervous. Mrs. Song herself is not a delicate person, she has a good impression of the Xia family, but she is not very familiar with the Xia family, and she really has no common topic. Song Rong's wife Du Shi has always been silent, Song Grandma Qi was trying to take a conversation to enliven the atmosphere, and Mrs. Song finally remembered a topic and said to Zhao Changqing, "I heard Agen say that your martial arts are amazing." ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "I've been practicing since I was a child, maybe I've been practicing for a long time, and I'm not as powerful as Uncle Song said." ”

Mrs. Song said, "The queen also likes to practice martial arts, she was with her brother every day when she was a child, and she got up in the morning to go to the school field, and her martial arts were also very good." "Mrs. Song is now very proud of her granddaughter, and she has an itchy mouth when she meets people, and wants to show off her ......

Zhao Changqing smiled, "I heard that the queen mother is not only good at martial arts, but also writes very beautifully. ”

Old Mrs. Song was suddenly proud, "The word longevity on the shadow wall in my courtyard was written by the queen, did you see it when you came in?" ”

"See." Zhao Changqing smiled, "I only heard about it before, but when I saw the words on the shadow wall in the old lady's courtyard, I realized that it was better to see than to hear." ”

Zhao Changqing was talking about Mrs. Song's heart, Mrs. Song said that she had a nose and eyes, and said, "Since the queen wrote that birthday word to me, the melons and vegetables in my courtyard have grown better than before." ”

This is purely Mrs. Song's own dream words, her granddaughter is not a queen and not a fairy. Zhao Changqing smiled, "Look at the old lady's vegetable field, the little green vegetables are really neat, and the courgette has also begun to climb the vine, and there should be early beans." ”

Speaking of vegetable fields, it is Mrs. Song's business, she didn't leave it in Fumin, Mrs. Song smiled, "It's hard for you to recognize everything?" ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "When I was a child, my grandmother also set aside a vegetable plot at home to grow vegetables in order to save money. Later, my grandmother's legs and feet were not very good, and my father refused to let her plant. Even when we were in the border city, my mother-in-law also made a vegetable garden. Easily led the words to the Xia family.

Compared with the nervous grandmother and mother, Xia Yu quickly relaxed, and when she heard a familiar topic, she said, "When my mother cooks, she asks me to pick vegetables, and always tells me not to step on the vegetable bed." ”

Sister Fu smiled, "At that time, Sister Yu's house still has fruit trees, apricots, plums, pears, and peaches, all of which bloom in spring, not to mention how beautiful they are." ”

Mrs. Song smiled, "You don't know, there is a hundred-year-old peach tree in the yard of our hometown, which bears one or two hundred catties of fruit every year." Alas, in July and August, the peaches began to ripen, and your grandfather and your uncle had to pick two peaches every day when they went to school. The peaches are sweet, and as soon as I'm not at home, the naughty mischievous ones go to our house to steal peaches to eat. ”

Speaking of these things, even the always silent Du Shi couldn't help but say, "I heard Master Hou say that the well in our old house is good, no matter how dry the weather is, other people's wells are dry, and the water in our well is clear and sweet." ”

Mrs. Song hurriedly said, "Isn't it?" The tofu made by the well water is also better than other people's tofu, and it is fragrant to make tea, at that time, the teacher in our village likes to drink the tea made from our well water the most, and we have no tea, Ah Rong and Ah Yao send the first bucket of well water from the well to Mr. every morning to Mr. to make tea. "Don't think that Mr. Ren is casually looking at the difficulties of the Song family, and give the Song family brothers free tuition. A Song brother is indeed very smart in reading, and he seems to be promising; Second, the Song brothers were good people when they were young, and they were particularly clever and likable. The first bucket of water in the well in the early morning is called the well water splash by the literati, whether it is used to make tea, wash the face, cook vegetables, or cook, it is all excellent.

Everyone talked and laughed, which aroused the interest of Mrs. Song, and Mrs. Song also specially instructed Yahuandao, "Go to the vegetable field to pull a few small green vegetables, put some fresh mushrooms and stir-fry, and everyone can taste it." This freshly pulled and fried dish is different from the one bought from the vegetable market outside. ”

Naturally, everyone complimented Mrs. Song again, and coaxed Mrs. Song to be happy.

When the Xia family said goodbye, Mrs. Song said repeatedly, "Just come and sit when you are free, let's talk and laugh like this, lively and happy." ”

The Xia family also said yes.

Zhao Changqing and the Qi family whispered behind them, "Ah Bai will return to the imperial capital in the next two days." ”

"That's good." Qi smiled, "I went to Mr. Su's house two days ago, and it was really cleaned up. Qi's background all think that Mr. Su has first-class taste, which shows Mr. Su's aesthetic skills.

Zhao Changqing said, "Especially the two magnolia trees in Mr. Su's courtyard, I didn't say anything. ”

The two whispered a few words, Zhao Changqing said goodbye to the Qi family, and the Xia family returned home.

Mrs. Xia said to her husband, "Mrs. Song is very approachable, Mrs. Song has no shelf, and she is very kind." I was nervous before I went, and I didn't want people to be so kind, this is the Hou Mansion style. "It's like Xia Shaoqing's mansion, my God, Mrs. Xia is furious when she thinks about it. Isn't it just the mansion of a fourth-grade official, seeing that the queen's family is so easy-going, Xia Gongren is like an ancestor. Mrs. Xia finally understood that the noble lady was not unattainable as she imagined. At first, I always felt that Xia Shaoqing's mansion was unusual, and compared with Chengenhou's mansion, Mrs. Xia felt that Xia Shaoqing's mansion was ordinary.

Master Xia smiled, "The demeanor of a character like Song Hou Ye is really rare!" The heart yearns for it! The heart yearns for it! ”

Song Houye's character demeanor, not only Lord Xia admired, Xia Wen was also extremely admired, which made Zhao Changqing extremely curious, "How is Song Houye born?" ”

Xia Wendao, "Arnold's appearance is five points similar to Song Houye, not as good as Song Houye's demeanor." ”

"I heard that the Marquis of Song was called 'Jade Man' by the imperial capital when he was young."

Xia Wen did not hesitate to praise, "Even now, Marquis Song is also elegant and elegant." "Marquis Song is not only personable, but his most admirable thing is that he was born in the champion, was ambitious at a young age, and had a smooth life. It can be said that the life of Marquis Song is the dream of all scholars in the world.

The husband and wife talked about the gossip of the Marquis of Song, which was particularly interesting.

The Song family naturally has an evaluation of the Xia family, although no one really cares about Mrs. Song's opinion, but her old man is very happy to make an evaluation, laughing, "It's an honest family, and it used to be hard, and it's quite similar to our family." ”

Du Shi said to her husband in private, "Although that Zhao An is young, he is extremely clever and steady. ”

Song Rong was very clear about the details of the Zhao family, and he also knew Zhao Changqing's affairs in the border city very well, and said, "Our family seems to have a great relationship with the Zhao family." "It was Zhao Anren's father Zhao Yong who saved Song Jiayan, and Zhao Changqing and Chu Yu were also clear about it. The Chu family has a mediocre relationship with him, but it has a very close relationship with Song Yao's daughter-in-law's family; Later, Zhao Changqing married Xia Wen, and Xia Wen was born and had grace with Song Jiarang. Of course, this favor has been returned to the Song family, not only Song Jiarang supported the Xia family all the way to the border city, but also the lawsuit of the old man Xia back then, which could be pronounced so quickly, the Xia family only thought that it was because of their own entrustment of gifts, in fact, now Chengdu Shao Zhifu is the husband of Song Jiarang's aunt and sister-in-law's sister-in-law, this relationship looks far away, and it is actually not out of line. Song Jia let go of the relationship with the Shao prefect, the official position of the Shao prefect is not high, and he is also the fourth prefect, and he also has a brother-in-law Ning Anhou in the imperial capital. Ning Anhou is Song Jiarang's great-uncle.

For Song Rong, the Song family no longer owes the Xia family anything.

It's just that the two families have fate, not to mention that Song Jiarang and Xia Wen have some hardships and friendships, and it is impossible to do some contacts.

Within two days of the Xia family visiting the Song family, the group in the border city finally returned to the imperial capital.
