Chapter 57: Relatives and Friends
Mrs. Xie's family came to Beijing, which caused a sensation, and regardless of whether they knew each other well, they all sent people to send invitations within a few days. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć The posts that the info porter receives every day can pile up a small mountain, as if it is back to the days before Xie Heng did not resign.
There are already large and small banquets in the capital, and since Han Qing has to keep filial piety for her mother for three years, it is not suitable to follow the elders to the banquet, but it is a lot more leisurely. Only three are not considered guests, and they are going to come to the door to ask for peace.
The first family is Mrs. Pei's maiden home, Zhendonghou Mansion. The Zhendong Marquis Mansion is one of the four major marquis mansions of the current dynasty, and it is also hereditary because of the founding achievements. In addition to these four marquis, there are naturally other reasons to be named marquis, but they are all hereditary three generations, and now the Empress Dowager Liu family Chengyan Marquis Mansion is such a graceful marquis.
Pei Lingxun, Marquis of Zhendong, is the younger brother of Pei's family, and his wife Yu is from Yueshun Bofu, which is the four major uncles. There are not many heirs in the family, only one son and one daughter. The son Pei Fengqi married his wife Zheng, who came from the Zheng family, the general of the Zhuguo, and gave birth to the eldest young master Pei Zichi to marry his wife Wei, from today's Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War, and the eldest girl Pei Muyan married the third young master Xu of Pingxi Hou Mansion, and the second young master Pei Zixiao is now 13 years old. The daughter of the Marquis of Zhendong, Pei Su, married Luo Xuan, the son of the Marquis of Sunan, who was the sister-in-law of Luo Huan, the commander of the Praetorian Guard.
The second is Cui's maiden ministry, Shangshu Mansion. Cui's father is Cui Wenli, the secretary of the ministry, and his mother Qiu is from the Qiu family of Luoyang Wang, and now Qiu's second brother is still the son of the country to supervise the sacrificial wine. Cui Wenli's eldest son, Cui Geng, married the Gao family of the Ministry of Rites, and gave birth to the eldest young master Cui Youcheng, the eldest girl Yu Ling, the second girl Yu Hui, and the fourth young master Youwei, except for the 14-year-old Youwei, all of whom were married. The second son, Cui Yun, married the Peng family of Taichang Siqing's family, and gave birth to the second young master Youren, the third girl Yu Zhen, and the fourth girl Yu Yi, and the three of them also got married.
Cui Yu, the magistrate of Changhua County, Hangzhou Prefecture, is the only son of Cui Wenli's younger brother, the third young master Youzhang is in office, and the fifth girl, Yu Han, has married to the Li family of the criminal department last year. Last winter, the old lady of the Li family failed to hold on, and the old man had already told the old man to return to his hometown with the whole family to guard filial piety, and this time he came to Cui's house, and he didn't see Cui Yunhan.
The third is the Rongguo Mansion. Several members of the Han family have been guests of the Xie family with the Empress Dowager for more than a month, although they are not in a hot fight with the Xie family, they are recognized by the Xie family as serious relatives.
When Xie Yi got married, the Han family also sent the second young master Han Feng and the third young master Han Qiao to Hangzhou to send congratulatory gifts in person. This time the Xie family came to Beijing, and the prince Han Meng led the eldest young master Han Bai to pick it up in person. So Xie Heng and Pei also took their families to the Rongguo Mansion in person.
Han Qing was carried by a sedan chair through the deep courtyard of the Rongguo Mansion, and the memories of her previous life kept flooding up in her heart, those long years when she was locked up in a remote courtyard by the Jiang family, and those who tried every means to get out of the courtyard, it was really a mixed feeling.
Rongguo Gong Hankook personally welcomed the Xie family into the lobby with his family, and the two sides greeted each other in turn. Han Tai married his wife Qiao from the Dingguo Mansion and gave birth to his eldest son, Han Meng. Han Meng was named the son, married the Jiang family of Yicheng Bofu, and gave birth to the eldest young master Han Bai and the fourth young master Han Song. Marry the concubine Tong and give birth to the fifth young master Han Shan, and the concubine Li gave birth to the ninth young master Han Yu. Qiao's second son, Han Xuan, married the Sun family of Huai'an Bofu, and gave birth to the second young master Han Feng and the third young master Han Qiao.
Hankook also has two concubines. The third master Han Li, married the Zeng family of the imperial merchant, and gave birth to the sixth young master Han Xu. The fourth master Han Shu and the fourth son Han Pu, his wife Wei came from the family of the military department, and gave birth to the seventh young master Han Wei and the eighth young master Han Mao.
Han Bai, the eldest young master of the Han family, is only 16 years old this year, and he has not yet decided to marry, and the younger brothers below are naturally younger. In the end, the Jiang family can be regarded as bringing two girls, it is Han Fang and Han Qiao, who were also raised by the Jiang family from the Han family in their previous lives.
When the guest and host were seated, Qiao called Han Qing to him, "Ah Qing has grown a lot taller this year, and the clothes that grandmother brought you are probably going to be smaller." ā
"Grandmother sent those clothes, Aqing can't wear them, look at this body today, you sent it." Han Qing specially picked out the clothes given by Qiao's today, the goose-yellow carved silk entwined branch lotus pattern woven collar skirt only reached the calf, and the hem revealed a silver-white moire pleated skirt, and as she got up, she turned in a circle, extremely smart and cute, coaxing Qiao's mouth to the point that she couldn't close it.
"Okay, okay, this dress doesn't fit, it's so short here, I'm wronged by our Aqing." Qiao Shi pulled Han Qing and smiled.
"Grandmother, this was changed by Aqing specifically to expose the pleated skirt there, where is the grievance."
"Aqing's little mouth is the best at coaxing people."
The second wife, Sun, would never miss the opportunity to curry favor with the Duchess of the Kingdom, and the words that praised Han Qing and poured money out of the country made Jiang's face so angry. Han Qing knew that this was a sweet-faced and bitter-hearted master, and she didn't take it to heart, saying that she would never come to Han's house again in this life to be tortured by the splint.
But here, I heard Han Tai say to Xie Heng, "Taifu, I don't know how long the Xie family will live in Beijing?" ā
Xie Heng said: "I'll go back after Yi'er's spring." ā
Hankook knew that Xie Heng was humble, and with Xie Yi's strength, he would definitely want the title of the gold list this year, and I was afraid that he would not return to Hangzhou until Xie Yi was elected official.
Han Tai paused a little and said, "Since the Taifu family has entered the capital, the old man has a reluctant request. Last year, the old man just put the names of Ling Yuan and Ah Qing on the family tree, and this year's New Year hopes to take Ah Qing to live in the Han family for a while, so as to comfort the ancestors. ā
After hearing this, Xie Heng and Pei Shi exchanged glances, thought about it, and nodded, "That's fine, let Aqing stay from Chinese New Year's Eve to fifteen." "Master Taifu is cunning and cunning, and he set the deadline first, if he wants to wait for Han Tai to mention it, I'm afraid he will have to stay with Han Qing for a month or two.
Han Tai was generalized, and he said in his heart that he was really not Xie Heng's opponent, but he was able to allow Ah Qing to come to the Han family for the New Year, which was also very face-saving for the Han family, and he didn't force it. immediately nodded and thanked him, and asked his eldest daughter-in-law, Jiang Shi, to pick it up in person on the twenty-ninth day of the month.
Han Qing and Wanran looked at each other from afar, and they looked like the Cowherd and Weaver Girl were about to be forced to separate.
As soon as he came back from the Rongguo Mansion, there were chamberlains in the palace to pass on the will, and it was the Queen Mother who announced that the daughter of the family would enter the palace tomorrow.
On the second day, Pei's and Cui's put on makeup, took their eldest grandson's daughter-in-law, Yuan Jianing, and led three brightly dressed little girls into the palace.
The Empress Dowager Liu and Empress Meng waited in Cining Palace early, and after the Xie family saluted and greeted, they got up very enthusiastically.
The Queen Mother took Pei's hand and said, "Look at your ruddy appearance, you must have come by boat, and you haven't suffered much." I set up a mahjong table in the side hall, and the four of us will play a few games later! ā
Because the Queen Mother is addicted to mahjong, the ladies in Beijing are chasing the Duchess of Rongguo Qiao to learn how to play. And it is not only the noble lady of the house who is addicted to mahjong, but even the men are gradually playing. This game has a great tendency to become popular from the capital to all parts of Daqi.
Pei Shi smiled and said okay. The queen was just about to ask someone to lead Han Qing's three sisters to walk in the imperial garden, when she heard a report from someone outside, saying that the prince of Pingxi Hou was asking to see her.
The Queen Mother smiled and said, "This monkey, I can't catch it on weekdays, why did I happen to enter the palace when there are guests today." ā
Then he commanded, "Call him in." ā
After a while, everyone saw a young man dressed in a brocade robe embroidered with rich flowers on a red background, and because he was born with a beautiful spring, everyone felt that his eyes were shaking by him.
The queen mother and queen have long been accustomed to Xu Jin's flamboyant clothes and appearance, and they are very calm. The Queen Mother waited for Xu Jin to salute, and then said, "Today, I am all the daughters of the Xie family, you go and say hello to the grandmother and aunt of the Xie family." The eldest sister and second sister of your Xie family are all recognized, only the youngest third sister, next time you have to make up for the greeting gift. ā
Xu Jin said yes respectfully, and went to salute one by one. When the girl arrived, Xu Jin showed a mischievous smile, "Sister Xie, second sister Xie, I haven't seen you for a long time!" After the greeting, he turned to Han Qing and said, "Third sister, I will definitely prepare a chic meeting gift for you next time!" ā
The Queen Mother saw that this bastard boy was very honest today, so she asked him to come to her side and gave him a few more instructions, and then asked him to go to the East Palace to play with his cousin.
When I got outside, there was no sound, and I thought that Xu Jin had left. The queen instructed the palace maid to lead the little girls to the imperial garden to look at the flowers and play.
A few people left Cining Palace, and were led by the palace maid to the imperial garden, as if pulling Han Qing and whispering, "Third sister, don't look at that Xu Jin is born well, in fact, he is the most naughty, the nobles of the Jingli family, no matter how old the girl is, there is no girl who has not been teased by him, you will have to walk around when you see him in the future!" ā
Han Qing was still immersed in the dreamlike mood of revisiting her hometown, but she came back to her senses as if she had been interrupted. How could she not know that Emperor Chengqian's cousin Xu Jin, but she had never seen a real person, because in her previous life, the child died in an accident before he was 16 years old.
