After dawn, there were guests coming one after another, some came from other places to congratulate the old lady on her birthday, the male guests outside were accompanied by the old lady Xie and Uncle Xie, the second master Xie still stayed in his own bitter bamboo forest and did not come out, no one would pick on him, they couldn't wait not to see him, although the doctor said that it was not an infectious disease, some people were still taboo. Xie Yanyuan was young, but he still followed his mother in the backyard.

Qian Luojin felt that she was like a welcome lady at the door of the hotel, a new guest came, and after an introduction, Luojin was going to smile and say hello.

Originally, Luo Jin didn't understand that in the era of patriarchy, how could Mrs. Xie be kind to a few granddaughters, as long as the expenses of a few girls were reported to Mrs. Xie there was nothing that should be done, seeing the visiting female dependents with their daughters, Qian Luojin finally understood, daughters and daughters are not the same, there are good-looking and bad-looking, there are those who understand the rules and those who don't understand the rules, and they have to be thrown away.

Zhenguo Mansion is a wealthy family, but not a family, Mrs. Xie's father and grandfather are tenants, the composition is the middle and lower poor peasants, when the emperor was still the prince, Mrs. Xie relied on his good physique to be the emperor's guard, and later because the physique was too strong and became the commander of the guards, helping the emperor to calm the chaos and ascend the throne to the general, the emperor also rewarded this mansion.

The official is there, the house is there, and the old lady Xie is not too young, it's time to marry a wife, right? The current old lady Xie definitely can't marry an old lady from the countryside like his father and his grandfather. Old lady Xie wants to find a cultured person with a decent family background, but none of those families look down on him, of course, there are also people who want to hug Old Lady Xie's thighs, but because of his face, he will also set up a memorial arch when he is □□, and he is only willing to marry a concubine to him.

A dignified general marries your daughter-in-law? How could Old Lady Xie be so angry, at this time, the eldest daughter of the former emperor, Princess Jiayu, stood up and said to Old Lady Xie: You see how my sister-in-law is, the concubine of the official family, her character is good, his parents are gone, if you want, my brother and I will marry her to you.

The sister-in-law of the eldest princess of Jiayu is, of course, the old lady Xie Taijun's maiden surname is Hua, and she is also an embarrassing family, the official eunuch family is not fake, and the family has been an official for seven generations in a row, but they are all small officials, and Xie Taijun's brother is the biggest official, and he was taken by the eldest princess of Jiayu and became a concubine.

The eldest princess of Jiayu has already received a letter from her father's side, and intends to seal a few heroes who helped him conquer the world in troubled times, and the old lady Xie is a young general, and the credit is not small, and the sister-in-law can't suffer a loss with him. Sure enough, not long after Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Xie got married, the first emperor was named a duke with the three most powerful generals around him, and Mrs. Xie was named the duke of Zhenguo.

Of course, the eldest princess of Jiayu also has a place to consider herself, to say that this eldest princess of Jiayu, that is also a legendary woman, she was born in a concubine room, born in troubled times, several princes each have their own troops, kill each other in the dark, her father's territory was next door to her third uncle half of the down, with the family to flee. But since the birth of the eldest princess Jiayu, her father's remnants of the soldiers have been like gods, and the journey has been smooth, beating the other uncles to the point of losing their armor.

The first emperor loved this lucky daughter very much, and he didn't care about the bitter gourd face of the first queen, so he had to record this daughter in her name, so Mu Ping'er officially became the eldest princess, and the first emperor planned to be named Jiayu.

Maybe she has been spoiled since she was a child, and the princess is very willful and has her own ideas. Originally, the former emperor and the former queen had already prepared a candidate for her - the son of the prime minister, noble and elegant, with connotation, the princess and the son of the prime minister's house, what a good marriage.

After the emperor's great cause was stabilized, he found that his subordinates were all military attaches who fought with him, and there were no civil officials, which was not good, a group of big bosses could not give him the construction of governing the country, so he held a banquet for talented people, and wanted to get close to the literary and artistic young people in Taixue to see if there were any available talents, it was this banquet that made the eldest princess of Jiayu feel familiar to the eldest prince of the Hua family at first sight, she had never seen such a handsome man when she was so old, as the eldest princess of Yan Kong, she couldn't hold it at all, and he would not marry in this life, and it didn't matter how old the other party was older than her.

This matter was very big at that time, and Princess Jiayu was the most favored among the daughters of the former emperor, but she was the worst married, if only the family was counted. Of course, if you compare the appearance, the husband of the eldest princess Jiayu can crush all the other colts.

If there is only Princess Jiayu herself, she can not care about the family of the Hua family, anyway, there is no higher civil and military rank in the Manchu Dynasty than her, she is the daughter of the emperor. But her child's surname is Hua instead of Mu, and Princess Jiayu has to think about her child and improve the family composition of the Hua family.

So she was a matchmaker and married her sister-in-law to Mrs. Xie, and the Hua family became a famous wonder in the capital, and her ancestors have always been an obscure poor family, and when it came to the generation of Master Hua, she suddenly became popular, her brother married the titular princess, and her sister married the prince of Zhenguo.

As Mrs. Xie's sister-in-law and matchmaker, how could Princess Jiayu not come to the birthday banquet, not only did she have to come, but the whole family of the Hua family had to come, and she had to support Mrs. Xie's scene, although there were few people from the Hua family.

The eldest princess of Jiayu has a noble status, walks with the wind, and attracts the attention of the ladies in the house as soon as she enters the house.

Forgive Qian Luojin for her lack of knowledge when she first crossed over, it was the first time she had seen a woman so stylish in ancient times, quite a bit of the aura of the director of the political and educational office walking through the corridor in high school. Obviously, the eldest princess of Jiayu only followed a few sporadic people, but it seemed to have brought thousands of troops, except for a few old women such as Xie Lao Taijun and a few other old women who were in the first place, the rest of them stood up one after another, and saluted the eldest princess Jiayu according to their respective grades.

The eldest princess of Jiayu is a distinguished guest who will definitely come, and she has already taught Luojin in detail how to salute the eldest princess of Jiayu, and after saluting, Qian Luojin looked at the eldest princess curiously with her spare eyes, the royal family members have long been written badly in the novels in the TV series, and Qian Luojin has also read a lot of novels such as "The Domineering Prince Falls in Love with Me" and "The Unruly Princess Falls in Love with Him", but seeing a princess with her own eyes still makes her very excited.

The eldest princess of Jiayu is the emperor's sister, she is the sister-in-law of Xie Laotaijun, in fact, she is a few years younger than Xie Laotaijun, but she has long been unable to match the word young, and she is also the age to pack up and prepare for retirement.

The elderly princess and Qian Luojin are naturally different from the dazzling female stars they see on TV, Princess Jiayu is wearing dark satin that matches her age, and there are not many jewelry on her body, and she only has a pair of blue bracelets on her hands, but she wears a hairpin with feathers on her head, which is particularly eye-catching.

Beside the eldest princess of Jiayu is her eldest daughter-in-law, Shan, who is not very good-looking, but she has soft eyebrows and is very dignified.

The person closest to Mrs. Xie naturally gave up her position, and Princess Jiayu was not polite, she sat down straight, held Mrs. Xie's hand with one hand, and chatted with Mrs. Xie.

Old Mrs. Xie glanced outside, and there was no sign of anyone coming in, and asked, "Why don't you see that kid Yiwen?" ”

"I was called into the palace by the queen mother early in the morning, and I told him that today is your birthday, and when he comes out of the palace, he will come directly to congratulate you on his birthday."

"The Queen Mother is uncomfortable again?"

"Alas, it's all an old problem, and the doctors can't do anything but keep it."

"When I reach the age of the Queen Mother, my body may not be as tough as her."

"Good birthday, what are you talking nonsense?"

The relationship between the aunt and sister-in-law has always been very good, after Mrs. Xie got married, the eldest princess of Jiayu also often came to the Zhenguo Mansion to walk around, and it was natural to talk about it, with the eldest princess here, so that Mrs. Xie could also say a word or two about the harem affairs, and the people around listened to the conversation between the two, the mouth was sour or sweet, and the heart was envy or jealousy, only he knew.

In the afternoon, the ladies who should have come have almost arrived, and everyone has had enough greetings, so they went to the theater pavilion to watch the play, and the children were finally liberated and sent to play.

These girls may all have their own in-laws when they grow up, and they will have to move around with each other like their mothers, so they have been allowed to play together and get to know each other from an early age. Adults have a small circle of adults, and children also have children, but children's preferences are not so utilitarian, and most of them are related to blood and temperament.

Of course, Qian Luojin wants to be with her three cousins and sisters, Xie Menghua and Xie Mengyao have attended several such gatherings, and they also have their own close friends, Meng Sanniang, the third lady of the Meng Taiyi family, is four years older than Xie Menghua, the eldest in the Xie family, but Meng Sanniang is lively and innocent by nature, and there is no pressure to play with young children. Qian Luojin is ashamed of this, sometimes Xie Mengxi pesters her to play baby games, and she feels that she looks mentally retarded.

Fortunately, the ladies are not allowed to run and jump, just sit together and chat about some gossip, the place of chatting is selected in the flower pavilion by the pond, the maids quickly arrange the melons and fruits hot tea, Xie Mengxi's maid Dong Hua also brought a stack of pastries: "The newly made chestnut cake of the slave maid, how many young ladies try it?" ”

In front of a few children, Qian Luojin didn't bother to pretend to be tense anymore, picked up a piece and ate it, she couldn't see that Dong Hua still had this craftsmanship, and it was better than the big kitchen. Driven by Luo Jin, Xie Mengyao and Meng Sanniang also gave a taste of face.

Xie Mengyao joked: "I can't see that Dong Hua still has this skill, I already knew that I would exchange Qiu Tang for her." ”

Chunyan, Xia He, Qiu Tang and Dong Hua were originally the four maids cultivated by Xie Lao Taijun, and they were given to the three sisters and Xie Yanyuan respectively, Dong Hua is the youngest among them, and she doesn't look as capable as the three of Chun, Xia and Qiu, Luo Jin thought that her use was to play with Xie Mengxi, but she didn't expect to be a good hand at making dim sum, Qian Luojin secretly decided that Xie Mengxi was a worthy object.

Because the winter sweets chestnut cake is better than the one with the first sales on Taobao, if you can't grab someone else's maid, then make friends with the owner of the maid.
