Although he was stabbed by the old marquis, Tian didn't answer, the old husband and wife have been arguing for so many years, and they are more and more patient when it comes to major events: "What do you think of the invitation of King An's mansion?" ”

"What's there to see?" The old marquis put away the painting scroll, "The palace is not something we can get, since it is loved by the palace, it is not just according to the will of the princess and princess, flattery when it is time to flatter, and effort when it is time to contribute." ”

Tian's brows furrowed slightly, and his face was a little gloomy: "Old Marquis, what are you talking about?" Don't you think that there must be a reason behind the sudden overture of King Anfu, who has never been in contact with you? And whether this reason is good or bad for our Hou Mansion, don't you worry? ”

"Hmph," the old marquis smiled coldly, neatly put the rolled scroll into the large porcelain bucket on the side of the desk, and turned his head to face Tian, "Even if there is a reason, we can't guess." If you can't guess, why bother with it? As long as you are calm and treat it calmly, isn't it? Besides, our Hou Mansion has no power, no wealth, and the only title that can be obtained is only to Yan'er's generation, so what is there to plan for Wang Wangfu? ”

"I know what you're talking about." Tian had thought about the possibilities several times earlier, "However, it is precisely because of our situation that it seems that the enthusiasm of the royal palace is a little excessive...... Moreover, Yan'er is about to go on a scientific expedition, will it not affect Yan'er's future if it is not handled well? ”

When it comes to the only grandson who is angry, the old marquis finally has some seriousness: "Yan'er will end up, if he plays normally, he will be on the list nine times out of ten." At that time, there will be the Cui family, and the Lian family will help him, and he will not be afraid of someone making him bad. ”

Tian finally understood the attitude of the old marquis, there is nothing to be done in the Hou Mansion, only Zhao Luoyan's future still has some value, but the Hou Mansion still has two powerful in-laws, and it is not something that can be moved by An Wangfu. I have lived for most of my life, but I was in a mess at the critical moment, and Tian laughed at himself in his heart: "The old marquis still sees it better than me." I also have a number in my heart. Just as she was about to get up and leave, the old marquis stopped her: "The Lu family has a lot of vision, since a large family of children and relatives go out as guests, let her be the first and take care of other juniors." ”

Although Tian didn't like Qianning, he also agreed with the old marquis's words and nodded: "I can still save this matter." ”

On the day of the snow feast, Qianning arrived at Zhenghai Courtyard early, except for Lian Chengmei, everyone else arrived. Because they just went to the banquet, it was not as official as the last birthday, and the Cui family and the Liu family were only dressed slightly more gorgeously, and they didn't put on a lot of makeup. It is Mengqian, Mengying, Menglian, Mengzhi, four small golden flowers, wearing red, yellow, blue, and green pinched gold jackets, red satin skirts, and the same silk flowers on their heads, broken gold hairpins, and standing in one word to look more flowery, eye-catching.

Tian was very satisfied with the dress of the four granddaughters, and beckoned the four of them to stand on the left and right sides respectively, looking at this and that: "Yes, yes, our girls should be dressed like this." ”

Qianning didn't dare to agree, this snow banquet came to many ladies and ladies in the capital, saying that they were enjoying the snow, but in fact, they came to see each other. Among the four girls, Meng Ying is married, and among the remaining three, Mengqian is most likely to find a good family at the banquet, and it stands to reason that Mengqian should be dressed up more outstandingly, but now she is dressed up like this, even if she is outstanding, she can't show it, not to mention that Mengqian didn't look too good. I don't know what Cui's plans are, and Liu's is not angry.

Glancing at the indifferent Mengqian, Qianning muttered a little in her heart, and she didn't know how Mengqian felt about the party.

It's time to go out, and Lian Chengmei is late. Seeing that everyone was present, not only did he not hurry forward to apologize, but he staggered and walked forward slowly. Even the Tian family frowned a little: "Lian family, why did you come here?" It's not appropriate to miss the hour. ”

Lian Chengmei lowered her head and looked ashamed: "Grandmother has been waiting for a long time, I got up early this morning to prepare, but I was a little unwell, so I was a little slower, and I asked my grandmother to punish her." ”

"Why are you suddenly unwell?" Lian Chengmei has always been delicate and weak, and every time she sighs about her backache, Tian thinks that this time is just that, and she is a little impatient between her words.

"I ...... I ...... "If I had put aside my usual life, Lian Chengmei would have talked about it a long time ago, but now it is unusual, and I am spitting and spitting." Qian Ning suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart.

"What the hell is wrong with you? Let's talk about it. "Even the Cui family is a little impatient, if the banquet is late, it will lose the face of the Hou Mansion.

Lian Chengmei raised her head and spit out a sentence: "My little day is many days late......"

These words were like a thunderbolt that struck the hall.

"This, this, that's joy, isn't it?" Cui Shi swept away the impatience on his face, and was a little incoherent with joy, "Why didn't you say it earlier?" But what's uncomfortable? Hurry up and call the doctor to take a look. ”

"Mother doesn't have to worry, I'm just a little tired, and the rest is fine, and just now my mother next to me also helped diagnose the pulse, saying that the pulse is stable and the fetal gas is very positive."

"Is your mother reliable? I still asked an outside doctor to take a look. Cui Shi couldn't help but be overjoyed, and was worried that Lian Chengmei was uncomfortable, so he pulled her to the seat next to her.

Lian Chengmei sat down carefully: "That mother studied medicine when she was young, and she didn't have a problem with diagnosing the pulse, and she also came to see me for some minor illnesses and pains in Su Ri." ”

"That's not as reliable as a serious doctor." Cui Shi was still not at ease, "Don't go to today's banquet, rest at home." ”

"But......" Lian Chengmei was a little difficult, "After all, it is an invitation from the palace, will it be inappropriate not to go?" ”

"This ......" The invitation card of the palace stated that it was Cui's, Liu's, Qianning, Lian Chengmei and the four girls, who had never greeted the palace before, and if they didn't go like this, it seemed a little unreasonable. Choi is torn between a rock and a hard place.

"Don't go. No matter how important the face of the Hou Mansion is, it is not as important as the heirs. Tian spoke, "After a while, let someone go and invite the Holy Hand of Gynecology to take a look, I will watch it myself, so you can set off quickly." ”

It's not too early, and I'm afraid it's too late to go.

Cui's couldn't, so he had to tell Lian Chengmei to pay more attention to himself, and led everyone to the palace.

In the carriage, Liu and Qianning sat in a car.

"Lian Youxi, don't be too anxious, sooner or later, you don't have to fight for this." Qian Ning didn't speak, Liu thought she was unhappy in her heart, and explained softly.

Lian Chengmei is the wife of the prince, her status is higher than herself, and she is more favored than herself, she got pregnant first, and then it is natural, besides, she has also fallen into the middle of the night, whether she can have a child is still unknown, how to get up in a hurry.

"Mother, don't worry, I have never competed with Sister Lian for this first." Qian Ning obediently complied.

"That's fine. As long as you take care of your body and put your mind in order, there will be good news in a short time. Liu took Qianning's hand and patted it gently, but his eyes inadvertently swept over Qianning's stomach.

After a while, the carriage stopped, and the people in the Hou Mansion, led by the Cui family and the Liu family, followed the housekeeper mother of the palace into the palace. Because it was not the first time to come, the housekeeper's mother also had a general impression of the people in the Hou Mansion, and said hello in turn between laughter, and said which ladies and ladies were guests today, and there were not as many people as last time, but there were more than a dozen families, presumably selected.

Qian Ning secretly filtered the list of guests in her heart, the identity of the guests this time is not very noble, like the Yonglie Marquis Mansion, the Cui family is one of the best, and some of the others are either idle positions in the court, or they are nobles who are far away from the court, and I don't know what the intention of the palace is to invite such people.
