"This is Jing Niang, what a character who walks down from the painting, so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off it."

The woman who let out the admiration was about fifty years old, her hair was thick and thickly combed with a horse bun, she wore two gold-hairpins inlaid with rubies, a dark purple dress with open buttons, a long face, red phoenix eyes, a high nose bridge, and lips that were not thick or thin.

The skin on her face is smeared with a light fat powder to cover up the wrinkles, and she looks more beautiful than an ordinary old lady, especially her smile is warm and approachable, which makes people feel good.

She was teased by another elderly lady that her husband was the worm in Li Bing's stomach - the only wife of Duke Deng Yingguo, Mrs. Feng.

Qu couldn't help but smile.

He Yuguang took in the amazing expressions of more than a dozen guests, and he was very proud. Her daughter's appearance is more beautiful than the two county lords and the two princesses and ladies of the princess who are present, and her temperament is also more outstanding.

The old lady, who was still full of energy, opened her mouth and boasted loudly: "Where is the painting, it is obviously a fairy in the world!" ”

Several people nodded yes.

Feng was once again suppressed by the old lady's words, but he was not angry.

This old lady is Mrs. Hong, the wife of Tian Guogong, that is, the fierce woman who once made trouble in the Qin State Mansion.

Mrs. Hong is not an ordinary person.

She was He Dong's godsister during his most depressed period, and she helped He Dong. After He Dong ascended the throne, he canonized the Hong family as the county lord.

So far, when He Dong sees Mrs. Hong, he has to call him "old sister".

Li Jingjing smiled and nodded at the two noble ladies, then bowed and saluted, and said respectfully in a voice as crisp as a bell: "Jingjing has seen all the elders. ”

He Jiye and Li Yunfei followed by self-reported their names, their words were clear, and they were not timid at all.

The women looked at He Jiye, the little boy who had once brought a stain on Li Bing's reputation, thinking that he would not be able to inherit the preciousness of the Li family in the future, and he would have to support the He family alone, with some pity in their eyes.

He Jiye is not the first to recycle such a gaze. He is introverted, so he keeps his head down.

Sitting at the top, wearing a crescent white plain dress, a middle-aged beautiful lady with only dark luxury jewelry on her hair, smiling, and said to He's: "I see that Jing Niang's appearance is more beautiful than that of my sister-in-law." ”

He Shi'er said, "What the princess said is true. ”

The middle-aged beauty is Li Juanye, the eldest son of the late King Xia, the eldest son of Prince He Jinghai, and the only princess.

Princess Li was born in Jiangmen, her grandfather was a general stationed in the north of the Kai Dynasty, and her grandfather, uncle, uncle and other relatives were all killed and died with the Huns.

The emperor of the Kai Dynasty gave more than a dozen cities in the north to the Xiongnu, and Princess Li's grandfather resigned from the military with his family in grief and anger, and was persuaded by Li Bing to join the rebel army.

After He Dong ascended the throne, Princess Li's grandfather became a Taoist monk, and Li Jiajun returned to the imperial court.

He Jinghai is Li Bing's second disciple, younger than Li Laoshi, and is affectionately called He by Princess Li as his sister-in-law.

He can't forget his identity as Princess Li's brother and sister.

Princess Li's eyes fell on the twins again, and asked, "The two Xiaolang were born well, they are exactly the same, which one is the biggest?" ”

Li Yunfei led He Jiye to the He family, looked at Princess Li with his eyes, and replied with a smile: "Back to the princess, I am the younger brother, and he is the elder brother." ”

Only then did He smile and introduce the nobles in the hall to the three children according to their grades.

The first to introduce is Princess Li, who is a genuine product.

This is the highest-ranking nobleman in the hall.

"It is said that jade bracelets raise people, and people also raise jade, and you wear it with a dusty temperament, and it is also a master." Princess Li immediately took off the extremely precious ancient jade bracelet she was wearing on her left hand and gave it to Li Jingjing, and gave each of her twins a pair of precious jade Ruyi.

Li Jingjing didn't want to accept such a precious ancient jade bracelet that Princess Li had carried with her for many years, but when she saw He's nodding, she accepted it.

The second is from the Duchess of Yipintian, Mrs. Hong, the Duchess of Deng Guo, Mrs. Feng, the princess of Xuanjun, the lord of Pan, and the lord of Jue.

Old man Hong gave Li Jingjing a set of very valuable gold-inlaid steel diamonds for the head of 16 pieces.

When her big slave opened the precious carved lacquer box, the diamond drill head jewelry inside shone brightly, dazzling and dazzling, very luxurious and atmospheric.

Mrs. Feng is only five years younger than Mrs. Hong, and she is also sixty-one years old this year, but it took a few years for Deng Ying to bring Li Jingjing's beauty and beauty powder from Qujia Village, and she looks more than ten years younger than Mrs. Hong.

Back then, Li Jingjing had heard Deng Ying say that he and Mrs. Feng were childhood sweethearts, and their relationship has always been very good after they got married.

Mrs. Feng gave birth to seven sons and three granddaughters to Deng Ying, the so-called perfect. Deng Ying also lived up to her, she had only one wife for so many years.

Last time, when Deng Ying went to Qujia Village, he brought Li Jingjing a valuable meeting gift, and this time Mrs. Feng gave Li Jingjing's sister and brother a carefully prepared and valuable meeting gift.

He said in a calm tone and slowly: "This is the princess of Xuanjun. ”

Hu Jing, the princess of Xuanjun, who had been sitting and had never spoken, stood up at this time, and said in a voice that could not hear joy and sorrow: "In the future, you will call me aunt." ”

Li Jingjing's eyes fell on Hu Jing, the princess of Xuanjun, and saw that she was about twenty years old, wearing a beige long skirt, combing a simple oblique bun, black hair without any hair accessories, and her appearance was beautiful, but there was a bitter appearance formed by long-term depression and unhappiness.

Hu Jing's generation is the same as that of Princess Li.

If her husband, the prince of Junjun, had not been defeated and died tragically, she would still be the crown prince, and she would still be the crown princess, and her status among the women of the entire Ding Dynasty was only lower than that of Queen Murong Ying.

Now that she has been demoted to the princess of the county, she has to salute Princess Li in the official scene.

He smiled and said, "Close the door and call Auntie." ”

Li Jingjing and her twins called affectionately, "Auntie." ”

"That's right." Hu Jing showed a shallow smile and pointed to the round-faced girl in the pink skirt who was sitting next to her and had now stood up, with a sweet and noble temperament, "This is your sister Pan." ”

Hu Jing is even less than Princess Li in terms of heirs.

Princess Li has two sons and a daughter. Hu Jing has only one daughter, He Pan, and no son.

Hu Jing's maiden family is not strong. Her deceased husband was not from the current queen Murong Ying, so she couldn't get Murong Ying's help.

She is a widow, with soft shoulders bearing the shame of her deceased husband's defeat, living in the county king's mansion outside the palace, and living with the young He Pan, life is not easy.

She has always been deeply worried about He Pan's family affairs, for fear that He Dong will marry He Pan to a bad family one day.

A few years ago, Li Bing once again came forward to help her, and found a person like Di Yujie with a good family reputation to be a husband for He Pan.

She is now waiting for He Pan to marry Di Yujie smoothly.

"No need to be polite." He Pan helped up the three elementary schools of the Li family with both hands. Looking at everyone in the Li family with gratitude in his eyes, such emotions were noticed by Li Jingjing.

When Li Jingjing accepted He Pan's meeting gift, she couldn't help but joke in He Pan's ear: "If my second brother is here, he must want my sister to be my wife." ”

He Panshy's face flushed.

He Pan had already met Di Yujie and was very satisfied.

Her relationship with Di Yujie was envied by many women in Chang'an, including several princesses, county lords, aunts and sisters.

This family affair would never have been possible without Li Bing's connection. She is very grateful to the Li family.

"Jingjing has seen Lord Xiu." Li Jingjing bowed to He Xiu, the girl sitting next to Princess Li.

"Jing Niang, you have set up a women's skills school in Tanzhou, which has been done very well, and it has been spread to Chang'an. I've heard your name for a long time, and when I see it today, it's well deserved. He Xiu is fifteen years old this year, two years older than He Pan, and her appearance is slightly more beautiful.

He Xiu called Uncle He Dong's grandfather, stained with the light of the late grandfather He Xia, and when she was ten years old, she was exceptionally promoted from the county lord to the county lord.

She originally ordered a family affair very early, and the man was Shang Liang, the second son of Shang Shengshan, the secretary of the Ministry of War.

Last year, Niu Liang rode a horse into the river and broke his waist bone and paralyzed the lower half of his body, and the Shang family took the initiative to withdraw from his family.

Her grandmother, the old princess, is a woman who keeps her promises, and she originally did not agree to withdraw from her family, so she couldn't stand her from seeking death and life, and Princess Li cried from time to time, so she could only agree.

Now her family affairs are not high, low, and she has not yet settled.

"Thank you, Lord Shiren, for the compliment." Li Jingjing accepted the gift generously.

Then there was the second son of the Duke of Deng's Mansion and Mrs. Sun.

Mrs. Sun is the wife carefully selected by Deng Ying and Mrs. Feng for the eldest son, born in a family of Ludi for hundreds of years, she is already forty-three years old, looking at her early thirties, her posture is middle-to-top, and her temperament is as extraordinary as He and He Huishu, which is unforgettable.

Finally, the sixth lady of the Deng Guogong Mansion has a five-grade fate, Mrs. Niu and her daughter-in-law Deng Yun, and the granddaughter of the Tianyuan Mansion Tian Susu.

Mrs. Niu's grade is not as high as Li Jingjing, and Deng Yun and Tian Susu are even more tasteless people, and they all have to bow to Li Jingjing.

Li Jingjing helped the three daughters with both hands.

Deng Yun boldly pinched the back of Li Jingjing's hand, blinked and whispered: "I knew that you were born so beautiful, Su Su and I wouldn't be so old-fashioned today." ”

Li Jingjing looked fixedly, Deng Yun was wearing a silver gray long skirt, and Tian Susu was wearing a dark blue long skirt, and she was really dressed up in an old-fashioned way for fear of suppressing her limelight, and said with a smile: "You are beautiful in terms of beauty and moon appearance, and everything you wear is extremely beautiful." ”

Deng Yun glanced at Tian Susu and said, "Look at her export chapter, when she goes back to participate in the poetry meeting, she will definitely compare with the young ladies of the civil official faction." ”

Li Jingjing smiled in her heart and said: I just said a flower and a moon, and it became an export? That's too low.

Tian Susu explained in a soft voice: "The unmarried young lady in Chang'an is divided into three factions. The royal faction, the civil faction, and the military attaché faction. Every time, the young lady of the civil official faction of the poetry club is more powerful than the military attache faction. ”

Li Jingjing participated in the poetry meeting when she was in Tanzhou, and rarely made poems, and no young lady dared to force her to make poems, so she quickly shook her head and said, "I don't know how to make poems." ”

Where is Deng Yun willing to believe, raised his eyebrows and said: "Your Li family has won two firsts in the Hunan Provincial Science Examination, you say you can't make poetry?" ”

Li Jingjing only said: "I didn't do well, don't go and lose the face of Miss Military Attache." ”

"If you don't go, Yun Niang won't do it." Tian Susu stretched out her hand to cover her mouth and chuckled elegantly, revealing a gentle and charming look in her eyebrows.

Li Jingjing looked at Deng Yun, whose eyes were persistent and even her whole pretty face was vivid and distinctive, it seemed that Deng Yun was the leader of the military attache faction.

Old Madam Feng pointed to the three young girls who were talking on the side, and said to a few noble ladies: "Look, the three girls hit it off at first sight, regardless of us old women, they talked about it themselves." ”

Qu said proudly: "My Jing sister can make good sisters wherever she goes." In her eyes, the four grandchildren are excellent, and the only granddaughter is perfect.

He Shi paid attention to Deng Yun and Tian Susu without moving, but he didn't know that several noble ladies were also looking at his beloved daughter Li Jingjing.

Old Madam Hong smiled with Qu's family: "Brother and sister, my house is less than two miles away from yours. Today, I just entered the house to recognize someone, and it will be convenient to move around in the future. ”

"I've settled down in my house, so I don't have to go to your house to disturb me." Qu has been Mrs. Hou in Tanzhou for several years, and has been living a rich life, and has also gained a lot of knowledge, so she is not timid at all when talking to a house full of nobles.

Old Madam Hong came and went quickly, and left with Tian Susu.

After waiting for Princess Li's mother and daughter to leave, Mrs. Feng said to Qu and He: "The morning dynasty is over, my old man should go home for lunch, and I will go home." We'll talk more about it next time. ”

Deng Yun took Li Jingjing's hand to the side and said seriously: "Three days later, there will be a monthly poetry meeting, this time it will be held by the royal lady, and I will definitely send you a post." ”

Li Jingjing nodded and said, "I'll go." ”

Deng Yun instructed: "If you go back, they will definitely bully you." You were waiting in the house that day for me to pick you up, and I took you with me. ”

Li Jingjing thanked with a smile.

Xuanjun princesses Hu Jing and He Pan stayed to have lunch with the Li family.

After the meal, Hu Jing deliberately told He Shi alone about some things that He Huishu did not mention in his letter and that Li Liwei had not inquired into secrets.

He Pan and Li Jingjing took their twins to take a lunch break.

The twins were guarded by slaves after they fell asleep.

He Pan followed Li Jingjing to her boudoir, and saw that the luxurious setting in the room was not worse than that of the princess in the palace, and it was much stronger than her own, and she was not jealous.

The two girls hit it off at first sight, lying on the same bed, unable to sleep, so they started talking.

"I'm thirteen years old. What about my sister? ”

"I'm eleven years old."

"I'm two years older than you, but I'm as tall as you. If you don't say that you are from the south, others will definitely think that you are from the north. He Pan thought that Li Jingjing was so good, if it weren't for Li Quai's engagement with Di Yujie's sister, Di Yujie would have decided on Li Jingjing.

Qu's height is tall among Tanzhou women, and Li Laoshi and Li Quai's are not short.

Needless to say, He's late father and mother were all northerners, and her height was tall among northern women.

Li Jingjing has snow-white skin, tall and good figure, exquisite five views, and temperament, and is very beautiful.

"Everyone has a heart, and I will grow taller. When you talk to me in the future, you must speak directly, otherwise I won't understand. ”

He Pan held Li Jingjing's soft hair and said, "I also like people who speak straightforwardly." ”

Li Jingjing took the opportunity to joke again: "It seems that a certain doctor in Chang'an Academy is the kind of person you say." ”

He Panjiao's face flushed, and he said, "He is no longer straightforward, but has a poisonous tongue." ”

Li Jingjing asked with a smile: "It turns out that you like to be straightforward and don't like poisonous tongues?" Then I'll tell my second brother to bring a message to the doctor. ”

He Pan's voice was like a mosquito voice: "It's not that I don't like it, I just hope that he can be tactful and not always be so sharp and offend people everywhere." ”

Li Jingjing said in He Pan's ear: "Your Majesty appreciates Dr. Di because he is upright and outspoken. ”

He Pan nodded thoughtfully: "This is also true." ”

Li Jingjing asked: "There will be a poetry meeting in three days, will you go?" ”

He Pan's eyes darkened, closed his eyes, and said softly: "Since my father died, I have only been there once, and I have been ridiculed and ridiculed by them, and several of my aunts and cousins have not helped me, and have watched coldly. ”

Li Jingjing was surprised: "They are like this? ”

"I didn't expect them to do that." He Pan thought about Fang and said: "This time you go, I will accompany you." ”

Li Jingjing was grateful, put her arm around He Pan's shoulder, and said, "You went to the royal faction, not the same faction as my military attaché, and then those young ladies will let the two of us compare poems." ”

He Pan opened his eyes, looked calm, and said, "Then I will admit defeat." ”

Li Jingjing reached out and stroked He Pan's smooth cheeks, raised her eyebrows and said, "If anyone asks the two of us to compare poetry, we will compare poetry with whom." ”

He Pan smiled: "You are really smart. ”

In the afternoon, Hu Jing left with He Pan, and Qin Yue and He Huishu's family came.

He and He Huishu hadn't seen each other for a few months, as if they hadn't seen each other for a few years, and they cried with joy because they finally got rich and rich together and returned to Chang'an.

The five little babies of the two families got together, first hugged each other, and then let Qin Yue carry them around the yard on their backs, and the laughter was about to spread outside the house.

Qu likes children very much, and stands on the sidelines and watches.

Li Jingjing pointed at He Jiye and Li Yunfei, and said loudly: "Let you take a day off first, and you will have to resume reading and practicing big characters from tomorrow!" ”

He Huishu and He went to the side hall to talk. Li Jingjing followed.

He Huishu suddenly said quietly: "Our He family's house has now become the courtyard of Zhang County Gong. ”

He had just received the news of Hu Jing today, and he had made up his mind in his heart, so he said: "I heard that the descendants of Zhang Xiangong owe gambling debts and are about to quietly sell the other courtyard. I'm going to find someone to buy the annex first, and then come to Saburo's name in a few years. ”

He Huishu was overjoyed, frowned again, and said, "The cash I can take out now is only three thousand taels of silver." ”

He hurriedly said, "I have the money." You don't have to worry about it. You and your brother-in-law moved out alone, and you will give me four nephews to marry in the future, and you will have to save some money to spend. ”

A few years ago, the Li family had nearly two million taels of cash, and after her housekeeper purchased shops, fields, and real estate, these cash silver nearly doubled after removing all expenses.

He Huishu deliberately said carefully: "Minye's new house to marry his wife has long been there, as well as hundreds of acres of fertile land in Tanzhou, two shops in Chang'an, and a few jewelry. If he can be admitted to the Jinshi and become an official this year, he will also have a follow-up item. He doesn't have to worry about us. ”

Li Jingjing said in her heart: The little black bear's cousin has a lot of property for the third generation of officials.

He just listened and didn't answer.

He Huishu continued to whisper: "I didn't tell you one thing in my letter, this time as soon as I arrived in Chang'an, I took the silver money given by my grandmother and set up three shops, which had just been opened for a few months, and there were four hundred taels of silver every month. ”

It's because she just bought the shop, and she only has three thousand taels of silver left in her hand.

He knew that the Ming family had given Qin Yue and his wife nearly 50,000 taels of silver when he was dying, so he estimated it in his heart and agreed: "My sister is right to do this. Otherwise, there is no income at home, and there will be no money available in a few years. ”

Li Jingjing asked curiously, "What kind of business does my aunt's shop sell?" ”

He Huishu replied: "Fat powder, ready-to-wear, shoes." Your aunt and I can't earn too much, 5,000 taels of silver a year is enough for the family's expenses, and there is still a small surplus. ”

Li Jingjing said with a smile: "Auntie, at least you have the dresses, shoes, and fat powder you wear, and you have to be the best." ”

"Look, my little Jing Niang is really smart. That's what I thought about when I opened the shop. He Huishu's eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, her smile was like a flower, and she pulled Li Jingjing's forehead with a smile, "In the future, I will cover all your fat powder, ready-to-wear, and shoes." ”

In the magnificent hall of the main courtyard of the Duke of Deng's mansion, the thin Deng Jing had just returned from the palace in a court robe, eating tea and listening to his beloved wife, Mrs. Feng, describing the journey to the Li Mansion.

He was supposed to go back to his house when he dispersed early, but he was left by He Dong to discuss the military affairs of the north together with Shang Shengshan, Shangsheng Mountain, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and Tian Guogong Tian Jin, and had lunch in the palace, and he didn't come back until now.

"I didn't see Mr.'s eldest son and second grandson today, and the rest of the people did."

"How?"

"Good. Especially the He family and Xiaojing Niang, who have a good look and bearing, and Man Chang'an can't find a few. ”

Deng Jing put down the teacup, his triangular eyes slanted, and suddenly said: "Qin Xionghuang, this stupid guy, somehow got into the eyes of Mr. back then, and he was actually a good daughter-in-law under the guidance of Mr. ”

He has seven sons, who are similar in age to He Huishu, but without receiving information from Li Bing, He Huishu became Qin Xionghuang's second daughter-in-law.

Now He Huishusheng's son Qin Minye is both civil and military, and has a good character, and he is a popular teenager who won the first place in the scientific examination this autumn.

If He Huishu became the daughter-in-law of the Deng family back then, Qin Minye would have to be surnamed Deng, this is the glory of the Deng family.

Old Madam Feng suddenly burst out laughing, and said loudly: "Mrs. Hong told me last time that Mr.'s wife should be an old woman who is as old as her, and now when she saw that she was about the same age as her daughter-in-law, she was so shocked that her eyes almost fell off. ”

The ladies of the rich and noble families in Chang'an all thought that Qu was the image of an old woman who had been working rough for decades and had become tired of decades of rough work.

It is said that this Qu's appearance also surprised her.

Deng Jing didn't comment on Qu's appearance, so he said: "Although Mr.'s wife is illiterate, she is very sensible and has an excellent temperament. ”

Old Madam Feng nodded and said, "Yes." How many women like Mrs. Hong are here? ”

Deng Jing asked, "What is He's impression of our Yunniang?" ”

Old Madam Feng said in a low voice: "The He family just saw our Yun Niang, and there was no special attention, and there was no snub. But Xiao Jing Niang said to Yun Niang that was speculative. ”

Deng Jing's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "Xiao Jingniang's words, Mr. can also hear them." It would be good if Yun Niang got Xiao Jingniang's kind words. ”

Old Madam Feng couldn't help but ask, "You haven't thought about letting Xiao Jingniang become a member of our family?" ”

Deng Jing waved his hand and said: "Mr. is just this granddaughter, and he must be a thousand choices for his grandson-in-law." Our family's Xiao Langwen is not good, and martial arts is not the first, don't even think about it! ”

Old Madam Feng was a little unwilling in her heart, but she didn't say it.

At dusk, Li Quai, Li Yunxiao, Murong Yang, and Di Yujie returned on horseback.

Li Jingjing said with a smile: "Sister Pan came here today and said a lot of things to me. You and Sister Pan have made a marriage, I will call you brother-in-law or uncle in the future? ”

"Anyway, your little uncle will be my brother-in-law at the end of the year. You can call me anything! Di Yujiejun's face flushed slightly.

After he arrived in Chang'an, he went to meet Hu Jing's mother and daughter, and later asked He Pan to play twice, and he was very satisfied with her character and recognized this family business.

Li Yunxiao said happily: "My little master is here? ”

Li Jingjing nodded and said, "It's here." Deng Yun also came. ”

Li Yunxiao was surprised: "Deng Yun came to our house so soon, so anxious to be our sister-in-law?" ”

Li Jingjing said with a smile: "It's not just Deng Yun, but also Tian Guogong's granddaughter Tian Susu. ”

Li Yunxiao hurriedly said: "Tell me quickly, what does Deng Yun look like?" ”

"What else can it be, it's just a nose and two eyes!" He Yiyang had long learned from the Li family that Deng Guogong wanted to turn Li Yunqing into his grandson-in-law.

Li Jingjing said: "Deng Yun's appearance is not similar to Grandpa Deng, she is good-looking, and her personality is straightforward and heroic. I think it's good. ”

He Yiyang said: "How good-looking, can you be good-looking?" ”

Li Jingjing raised her fist and glared: "If you dare to say such things outside, I will make an enemy for me, and I will beat you when you come back!" ”

Li Yunxiao pushed He Yiyang's shoulder and said loudly: "Don't compare other people's sisters with my sisters!" ”

The dragon and phoenix fetus took the twins and the three bears of the Qin family to play.

Di Yujie specially instructed He Yiyang: "If you are for the good of Jing Niang, don't mention a word about her when you go out in the future." ”

He Yiyang was inexplicably angry in his heart, and asked: "I grew up with Jing Niang, and I regard her as a sister like a little fat man, why can't I mention her?" ”

Di Yujie's eyes shone sharply, stared at He Yiyang, and said, "You remember what you said today, and in the future, you will treat Jingniang as a sister-in-law, don't have any other thoughts!" ”

He Yiyang straightened his neck and shouted, "That's nature. ”

After dinner, the night fell, and two eunuchs and two palace maids came to the palace, saying that they had served He Dong and Murong Ying's instructions, and invited Li Laoshi, He Shi and He Shi to bring their four children and He Yiyang into the palace in civilian clothes.

The big eunuch deliberately said to Qu Shi with great respect: "The old lady of the county lord, Your Majesty and the queen asked the servants to bring you a message, and when you are well rested in a few days, I will visit you in the mansion in person." ”
