Chapter Twenty-Seven: Empty Dreams

The Chengguo Mansion and his entourage of four or two carriages went to the Yongqing Marquis Mansion.

The last time Zhu Jiyao was brought directly by the prince himself, and there were no female elders to take care of her, and when the time came, it became a direct girl to a group of uncles and cousins, so she didn't go to meet the three uncles seriously, but just hurriedly said hello to the second uncle on the day of the Lantern Festival.

This time, it was brought by the Duchess of Guo, and the carriage of Cheng Yiyao and his party passed directly through the hall and stopped in front of the living room, and everyone was welcomed off the carriage.

Although the Yongqing Marquis Mansion is not as good as before, after all, it is a famous family with profound heritage, and it is not comparable to an ordinary big family, and this mansion is not worse than the Guogong Mansion.

Cheng Yiyao gave a big gift to several uncles, which can be regarded as a formal recognition, which is also the reason why the Wang family is reluctant to come, although the Cui family is no longer there, but the Yongqing Hou Mansion is still a serious family of the Guogong Mansion, Cheng Yiyao still has to call Wang Chengxiang a grandfather, Cheng Yiqi has to recognize this grandfather when he arrives at the Yongqing Hou Mansion.

Several elders gave their own gifts, Cheng Yiyao handed them down one by one, and the ladies were taken to the flower hall by Ou Shi.

When I arrived at the flower hall, I saw that Mrs. Lao Hou and a few ladies were already there, and the Ou family saluted Mrs. Lao Hou, and then said with a smile: "This is a few sisters-in-law and younger siblings of my mother's family, and I also brought a few juniors to listen to the play today, and everyone is also their own people!" ”

Everyone saluted and said hello before they sat down according to their priorities, and the Duchess and the old Marquis sat together, turned their heads and smiled: "The old sister has been fine all these years!" ”

Although Mrs. Lao Hou was a little awkward, she still replied: "That's it, after all, people are not as good as before when they are old, what about you?" ”

The two old sisters gradually dissolved the suspicion of many years, saying that the Yongqing Marquis Mansion would suddenly invite the female dependents of the Chengguo Mansion to come over to listen to the play, or because the Duchess of the Kingdom gave the old lady a box of gifts, and after receiving it, the old Hou asked Ou Shi to find a time to invite the Chengguo Mansion to come to the house to sit on the second day.

Only the two old ladies know what is here, although Ou Shi is also curious, but he is not sorry to ask his mother-in-law.

Cheng Yiyao was happy to see that her grandmother and grandmother had a harmonious relationship, so she quietly looked at the ladies of the Ou family.

Sitting next to Ou Shi and chatting was the eldest lady of the Ou family who was also Ou Ping's mother, looking at the two sisters-in-law who were chatting happily, Cheng Yiyao looked at it twice and stopped looking.

This eldest lady of the Ou family is the eldest lady of the Zou family in Si'an, and this Zou family is also a great figure, but she was only in her early twenties back then, but she protected her father, who was nearly half a hundred years old.

In fact, it is a bit of an exaggeration to say this, at that time, the old lady of the Zou family was still a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, and when Mrs. Tai passed away, the old lady was nearly fifty years old, and she was almost widowed in her later years, but later her daughter matched her to marry the second lady of Yan Yuanbo's family.

This second lady is also a hard life, originally married to the then Prime Minister Situ's family, but the old prime minister only got a son in his later years, the old wife loves him very much, and the old prime minister is reluctant to move him, since the second lady of Yan Yuan's uncle's family married into Situ Mansion, she was picked on by this mother-in-law in every way, and felt that she was not worthy of her own son.

I don't know what this incomprehensible mother-in-law thinks, she even gave medicine to her daughter-in-law to prevent her from getting pregnant, and she has never seen the mother of the house who has not given birth to the eldest son to give birth to the concubine who has given birth to contraceptive medicine, and who has ever seen the mother in charge of the house giving medicine.

This second lady of Yan Yuanbo's family is also a weak one, but she endured it all her life, thinking that there would always be a day when she would come out, but she never thought that the eldest son was five years old, and the second son had already been born, this mother-in-law still refused to let her go, and finally used the "childless" in the seven out of the article to divorce her back home.

This old lady Wei is also a superb, so she happily prepared to find a noble girl for her son that she felt was worthy, but she didn't want to think about where she could hide such an act, even if this Yan Yuanbo Mansion was down, her daughter would not be bullied like this and would not do anything.

When the old prime minister knew, his daughter-in-law had already been divorced, and she had already been sent back to Yan Yuanbo's mansion, and after knowing the matter, she personally took her son to the door to ask for forgiveness from her in-laws.

This Wei Gongzi also knew that his wife was not unable to give birth, but that his mother had given her medicine.

Yan Yuanbo's anger is out, but the second miss is also ruined, only planning to support her at home, but never thought about the peak, that is the Ou family Zou family did not go out of the cabinet and the second miss of Yan Yuanbo, and later the mother died of illness, the old father only got a son and a daughter under his knees, her brother let Zhizhou outside the Zhili, and there was no one around her father.

Then she had the idea of remarrying her father, and this happened to be the second miss of Yan Yuanbofu, she knew the temperament of this second lady, and out of sympathy for her friends, she pulled the strings, but she never thought that it would really be.

In the coming year, he added a son to Lord Zou, who was nearly half a hundred years old, and this matter was really a big slap in the face to the Situ family, no need to think that even if this Situ son was good, his family's family affairs were not easy to say.

These are still heard by Cheng Yiyao in her last life, and at this time, seeing this legendary and powerful lady of the Zou family, she naturally couldn't help but sneak a few glances, and she didn't look like a three-headed and six-armed person, she was so daring, Cheng Yiyao really admired this Mrs. Ou in her heart.

After a while, a few more ladies came together, but it was the eldest lady, the third lady and the fourth lady's maiden family, it seems that this time the Yongqing Hou Mansion was called.

The eldest lady is the lady who came out of the Zhenguo Mansion, this Pengguo Mansion has the same title as the Chengguo Mansion, the Chengguo Mansion has produced military generals for generations, but the Pengguo Mansion has produced Wenchen for generations, all of whom are after the founding fathers.

The third lady's maiden family is a famous family of salt, and the fourth lady's maiden family of the Qin family is a famous scholarly family.

"Seeing that Mrs. Peng is here, my mother felt a little unhappy when she got up in the morning, so she sent us over and brought her old man and a few others!" Mrs. Ou smiled and greeted several old ladies, and said again.

"The eldest daughter-in-law of the Ou family is polite, we are just idle and bored to go out for a walk, this guy is stingy and rare to invite us back." Duchess Peng Guo smiled.

At this time, there was a maid's voice asking for peace outside: "Say hello to the eldest lady!" ”

The voice fell before a figure walked in slowly, it was the eldest lady Peng who was widowed in the Feng Dye Courtyard, dressed in a plain gown, only wearing a simple bun, and using a white hosta.

Cheng Yiyao also saw her eldest aunt for the first time, although she was nearly forty years old, but she looked no more than thirty, perhaps because she had been widowed for many years, and her expression had an indescribable dusty posture.

He bowed to Mrs. Peng and Mrs. Hou, and said, "Say hello to my mother!" He said again, "Duchess of the Kingdom! ”

Mrs. Peng couldn't help but reddened her eyes when she looked at her daughter, but she didn't say anything, just took her daughter's hand and looked at it carefully, but Peng opened her mouth first: "Mother, you sit first!" ”

"You two may not have seen each other for a long time, why don't you go to the side hall and say something considerate, and we will call you when the play starts!" Mrs. Hou patted Peng's hand and said, Mrs. Lao Hou naturally likes the eldest daughter-in-law, this is the grandmother who was selected for the Hou Mansion back then, but unexpectedly, people are not as good as the sky, and they have been connected to the same fate for many years, and naturally there is more pity, and the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is extraordinary.

Peng's family is a widow, and he doesn't come to see guests all year round, this time he will come out because Mrs. Peng came over, and no one will feel neglected at this time, so she doesn't shirk it, and bows directly to Mrs. Hou, and bows to the daughters: "The concubine is out of company first!" ”

"The old body is also rude!" Old Madam Peng nodded slightly to everyone, and was helped by Peng to go to the side hall.

At that time, Peng's was a well-known lady in the capital, and the prince of Yongqing Houfu, who was only sixteen years old at the time, had already emerged on the battlefield.
