"In addition, my daughter-in-law and this little girl of the Qiao family are also quite lucky, and they can be appreciated by a princess, and they come to the capital together, which is not a small creation."

Yao Benshan's old eyes, which were still slightly cloudy, lit up slightly.

"Could it be that my sister said that she was the daughter of the Nineteenth Prince, the little princess from the grassland?"

"Exactly."

After getting the old lady's affirmative reply, as long as there were men from the Yao family who were officials in the imperial court or had close contacts with people in the officialdom, they couldn't help but light up their eyes, and the eyes that looked at Shen Zhuru and Qiao Yuelong could be described as bright, and even their eyes were much kinder.

"My sister is such a blessing. If you can get the attention of this little princess, and show your face in front of the Queen Mother at that time, whether it is my Yao family or your Mu family, the status will always improve a lot, and even the sons and daughters who are ready to invest in their careers with various houses can also find a good future, good, good, good. ”

Yao Benshan was good three times in a row, and the eyes of the two of them seemed to be looking at treasures.

"However, this aspect needs to be addressed, after all, there are many people in the palace, in case this princess likes the new and hates the old, or is not attractive enough, it may not be easy to maintain this good relationship." Although the old lady is old, he is not a foolish person, and naturally he also knows how to take advantage of the situation to seek some benefits for his family.

"Sister, don't worry, I have some ways here, and I happen to have some contact with the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace, and I only need to spend a little silver to remind my nephew and daughter-in-law of the existence in front of the princess, and even send some gifts to the palace in the name of my nephew and daughter-in-law, so that I can naturally maintain the original good relationship." It's this silver ......" Yao Yongshan, the old lady of the seventh room, opened his mouth, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he smiled, but he also made his own calculations.

"How much silver do you need, you tell Hongxun that for the future of the Yao family and the Mu family, this amount of silver is still no problem. Perhaps, I can also take this opportunity to give the daughter of the Yao family to be married a chance to participate in Concubine Shu's flower viewing party. If I remember correctly, these twelve princes have reached the age of weak crowns, and there is news that this Shu Guifei wants the twelve princes to take this opportunity to choose a side concubine first. "Lao Taijun is not a vegetarian, and after many years of life in the Mu family, even if he has been helping the Yao family in the capital, he does not grow out casually to fill the holes, and he must let the brothers of the Yao family contribute appropriately.

The water spilled by the married daughter, she has never ignored the Yao family, which is already commendable filial piety.

"Sister, how can you let you get this money in the palace, as long as the nephew and daughter-in-law explain and say good things, you can bring a few more daughters to be married into the palace for a trip, and you can see the twelve princes, whether you succeed or not, it is a decent person. Are you right? Old Seven? Yao Benshan looked at his seventh brother and asked.

Yao Yongshan smiled, but he didn't feel embarrassed, and replied: "Big brother is right, but it's not so easy to enter the palace, I'm afraid it's impossible for everyone to get in, so it's better to let each room raise silver taels, and decide which girl to go to by how much?" ”

"The seventh brother is really unwilling to suffer as always." Yao Xingshan, the fourth-room grandfather, responded lukewarmly.

"There's no way, such a big family has to be raised, everything has to be carefully calculated, how can you be as comfortable as the fourth brother, the children and grandchildren of the family can earn money, don't worry about this. Like me, I'm so old, and I still have to worry about this and that for my children and grandchildren. Yao Yongshan shook his head and sighed.

Looking at the old ladies at the table, you are full of energy, and you can't do without the silver issue, but from this conversation, you can also see the general situation of each room.

From the big house to the ten rooms, the head of the house is the big house, the most wealthy and the most powerful.

The two masters in the second and third rooms were relatively silent, not saying that they were involved in this matter, nor did they say that they would not participate, but just watched.

The fourth master is not the master of the silver, but he is not a person who is willing to suffer.

The five-bedroom and six-room master is relatively quiet, not to keep silent, but to be accustomed to it and cannot be changed, and the specific situation needs to be understood.

The seven-room master likes to fight on the basis of reason, if he is cheap, he is stupid, it is difficult to make him suffer, and the standard is not profitable.

**The grandfather of the thirteenth room obviously looks forward to Yao Benshan, the eldest grandfather.

As for the others, there are too many people, and they will not be able to recognize them all for a while, and they can only understand them slowly.

Just a few masters at a table can see the complexity of the relationship between the entire Yao family, and it is not a matter of time to sort out halal, but it is a little bit unmistakable.

No one wants to lose money when it comes to money, it's just that everyone is showing a different degree of visibility.

After a meal, they ate politely, and when they really ate, Shen Zhuru didn't have a chance to move the chopsticks a few times, but Mu Fenghua ate to her heart's content, and she and Qiao Yuelong were only to the extent of cushioning their stomachs, and this table was scattered, and even with the food on the table, most of them were taken away by the eldest lady in the name of not wasting it and rewarding people to eat.

It's really impossible to say who it will really eat.

In comparison, there are still many dishes that have not had time to move chopsticks at all.

But despite this, in order to take care of the Mu family's face and maintain their image, they could only send away a group of people with a smile.

Jiang Ruoyu stood beside the old lady, and after sending everyone away, she did not leave with Yao Shu, which made the old lady's face look a little better.

"Grandmother, you must be tired, let me pinch your legs and feet." Jiang Ruoyu held the old lady's arm, delicately sprinkled.

"I thought that you girl, if you have a man in the picture, you don't want me as an old woman." The old lady pretended to be angry and responded, and most of her anger had already disappeared because of Jiang Ruoyu's soft coquettishness.

After all, she is a granddaughter who was raised single-handedly, no matter how angry she is, how can she really be angry and can't go away?

"Sister Ru, is that the Mu family's cousin Jiang Ruoyu?" Qiao Yuelong asked in a low voice.

"Hmm. I forgot that you haven't been back to Qiyang County for five years, and I don't know her, she is Jiang Ruoyu. Shen Zhuru responded.

"I see that the old lady is forced to favor her, and I am not afraid to tell you, my mother once mentioned to me that the old lady had intended to let this cousin kiss and become Mu Fenghua's wife a long time ago, and now after I see this woman, I feel that she will not be a safe person, you have to be careful, so as not to be robbed of the father-in-law, but the gains outweigh the losses." Qiao Yuelong's opinion of Jiang Ruoyu is really not small, but Shen Zhuru still thanks her for her concern.

"Don't worry. If she really had the heart to join the Mu family, she would have been the young lady of the Mu family, and it would not be my turn. An ambitious woman like her would never be willing to be a rich man in a small county, if not, she would not have climbed to the third young master of the Yao family as soon as she arrived in the capital. ”

"Perhaps. However, it is always good to take precautions, if she is empty in the bamboo basket in the capital, she will naturally turn her attention to Mu Fenghua, and you can't take it lightly. Qiao Yuelong responded, Shen Zhuru really didn't dare to say that it couldn't happen.

But no matter what, don't worry about the things that haven't been seen for the time being, and deal with the things in front of you first.

"Don't worry about those things in the future, let's still think about how to deal with Princess Gesang's problem."

Shen Zhuru and Qiao Yuelong whispered here, Jiang Ruoyu and Lao Taijun were almost tired, and turned their eyes to the two of them.

"Zhuru and Yuelong, I hope you don't miss the opportunity and take advantage of the good relationship with the princess. As long as the princess is happy, the queen mother will naturally be happy, and you will have the opportunity to get a decree or the identity of the county lord, and who will dare to underestimate you at that time. Remember, opportunities are only for those who are prepared, but don't let me down. ”

"Grandmother Xie (old lady) reminded." Shen Zhuru and Qiao Yuelong responded in unison.

"There is also the matter of the twelve princes mentioned during the banquet, you should also pay attention to it, at most in three days, there will be news in the palace for you to enter the palace to see the little princess, by the way, remember to mention the matter of the flower banquet, if things are done well, there will be benefits for you." What's more, Yuelong, if you can enter the yang of the twelve princes, even if it is just a side concubine, it is a great thing to fly on the branches and become a phoenix, you can't miss it. ”

"Yuelong understands."

Seeing Qiao Yuelong's obedient attitude, the old lady nodded with satisfaction, and then went into the house to rest with the support of Mama Cui.

And at this moment, Mu Hongxun has disappeared, as if he was busy with his own affairs, and he also took away Mu Jinyang, who followed Shangjing.

During the banquet, Mu Jinyang did not serve the table, after all, he was only a member of the Mu family, and he was the head of the Mu family, no matter how much Mu Hongxun attached importance to it, he also had the identity of half a slave.

In terms of the Yao family, who value their status and family views, how can they let the slave be at the same table with the master, and they are just seeing him hanging on the side when they are serving food.

In the past, in the Mu family, Jiang Ruoyu would affectionately call Mu Jinyang Brother Yang, which would not even look at him.

In the past, Jiang Ruoyu liked to call Lao Taijun's grandmother, but this will change her name and call her grandmother, and there are a lot of rules.

This trip to the capital, Jiang Ruoyu's changes are obvious, this will face her, the cousin-in-law who has always been the most hated and despised the most, she no longer has good words when she speaks like before, looking at her, she has a stinky face, a look of disdain, and looks vulgar, but she greeted her with a smile, and took the lead in holding Shen Zhuru's hand affectionately, and pulled her to the side to the seat to speak.

"Sister-in-law, in the past, Yu'er was young and ignorant, she had a bad temper, and she did some bad things, which caused your cousin-in-law to suffer, and asked my sister-in-law to be able to be an adult and not to worry about me." As soon as Jiang Ruoyu opened her mouth, she admitted her mistake, which really made people not be impressed for three days.

"It's all a family, and I don't have to mention the past again, so that all the unpleasant things will go away with the wind, and I won't remember it in my heart." Shen Zhuru replied with a smile, I don't know what medicine Jiang Ruoyu sells in the gourd, but he can't reach out and not hit the smiling person.

"Thank you sister-in-law, sister-in-law is really generous, cousin is really blessed to have a wife like you."

Shen Zhuru pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled.

"Miss Qiao, please take care of me when we meet for the first time." Jiang Ruoyu looked at Qiao Yuelong and smiled kindly.

"Don't dare to be." Qiao Yuelong replied, she is also a delicate person, and she also smiled sweetly.

"I heard my grandmother mention that my sister-in-law and Miss Qiao are familiar with a princess, I wonder if you can take me to see the world when the princess summons her? Of course, I won't mess around, I'll be obedient, even if it's just disguised as a little girl. It's just that I'm really curious about how beautiful the princess in the palace should be, and if I want to see the world, I will definitely not cause you trouble. ”

This is the real purpose of Jiang Ruoyu's change of attitude, and it is really a good plan to let them take her into the palace.

"I'm afraid it's a bit difficult. There have always been many rules in this palace, and my mother had already mentioned to me before I came that the people who were summoned to the palace were usually named and who could enter the palace for an audience, and the maids and the like could not enter the palace unless they could get permission. Although we have been on the same road with Princess Gesang for a while and have a good relationship, we can't bring people into the palace at will. I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, Sister Ruoyu. Qiao Yuelong saw Shen Zhuru pursing her lips, so she had already spoken one step ahead of her and rejected Jiang Ruoyu's request.

This reason is not a fool's errand, but it is true, and I am not worried that Jiang Ruoyu will be resentful because of refusal.

Jiang Ruoyu was somewhat disappointed in her heart, but she quickly recovered.

"Since it won't work this time, I don't know if Concubine Shu Guifei's choice of concubines for the twelve princes can also bring me, of course, I know that my identity is not enough, and I can't get into the eyes of the prince, I just want to go in and open my eyes."

"I can try this, but I can't guarantee it. After all, we don't dare to guarantee that Princess Gesang will be able to get a little bit of thin face in the matter of Concubine Shu Guifei choosing a concubine for the twelve princes, not to mention the matter of the Yao family, you have to forgive me. ”

"Sister-in-law, as long as she does her best, I'm not such an unreasonable person. I am fortunate to have it, but I have lost my life, and I don't force it. Jiang Ruoyu pretended to respond freely, but the smile on her face became more and more false, how could she not see her unhappiness.

After a few polite exchanges, the three of them left.

In the early morning of the next day, just after breakfast, the steward of the Yao Mansion came in a hurry and sent an invitation post, which was marked as a post for Mu Fenghua and Shen Zhuru, and the inviter of this post was Qiu Shangqiu, who Shen Zhuru had heard of for a long time but had never seen him.

"Young lady Cousin, someone from the Autumn Mansion, please talk to the young master Cousin. This is the other party's greeting post, and please look at the young lady. "The one who came to deliver the post was Hong Tong, the steward of the outer gate.

After Shen Zhuru took the post and read it, he nodded and said, "Steward Hong wait a while, I'll go and report to my grandmother, and then I'll bother you to lead the way." ”

"Don't dare, this is what a slave should do."

Shen Zhuru signaled, Yueyang directly gave the reward, and Hong Tongmei smiled, and secretly praised himself in his heart for seeing the opportunity quickly and getting a good errand.

After entering the house and telling the old lady and handing her the post, Shen Zhuru was able to get an answer and was able to take Mu Fenghua to Qiu Mansion to meet Qiu Shang, the famous Qiu Gongzi. (To be continued.) )
