Section 468 Causes
So, she began to actively enter and exit the circle of noblewomen in the capital, and frequently interacted with the female relatives of the big family, because one of her sisters-in-law married into the Zhu family and the other married into the Fan family, her status rose, and everyone was willing to associate with her.
She opened her eyes wide and secretly observed which family's young master was a good embryo and could be her son-in-law in the future.
She also deeply remembered the scene when Tang Shao, who returned home as an adult, appeared in her field of vision for the first time-
It was the eighth day of the lunar month, and the snow was falling, and the snow in the capital was up to the waist, and there were few people walking outside.
But she packed a bowl of laba porridge in a food box early in the morning to see Mrs. Tang.
Over the years, she has often led her daughter around in front of Mrs. Tang, for no other reason, that is, she wants to use the name of the lord of Long An to raise her daughter's net worth.
Mrs. Tang is the most kind to her among the three concubines of the Xue family, for no other reason, because the other two rooms of the Xue family are all sons, and when Mrs. Tang comes to Mrs. Tang, she is not as well-behaved and likable as her jade girl. Boys always have to be naughty, follow their respective mothers to the Tang Mansion as guests, and can't sit still for a moment, but what kind of character is Mrs. Tang, when she sees a boy who can't hold back, her face will show a look of insecurity, and the boys will be afraid when they see her strict, and over time, they will be even more reluctant to get close, but whenever they hear that they are going to see this cousin, there is no one who does not make a fuss, and their mother can't help her son crying, so she slowly reduces the frequency of contact.
But the third lady of Xue is not like this.
In contrast, Xue Yuniang fell into Mrs. Tang's eyes because of her well-behaved mouth, and Mrs. Tang treated her kindly. She became closer to Mrs. Tang, and as she came and went, Mrs. Xue San and her daughter became frequent visitors to Mrs. Tang's mansion. Mrs. Tang often gave them some gifts or beautiful fabrics from the palace, and they also did not forget to give gifts during the New Year's holidays.
This laba congee is one of them.
On that Laba, Mrs. Xue San gave Laba porridge as in previous years, and then stayed to accompany Mrs. Tang to gossip.
After a while, she noticed Mrs. Tang's absent-mindedness, and from time to time, she could always see Mrs. Tang's actions of peeking out the window.
Is there something urgent?
A thought flashed through her mind.
The idea of getting up and saying goodbye also passed by, but was soon suppressed by the second sister's entrustment.
She came to deliver laba porridge for a purpose.
Her second sister married into the Zhu family and gave birth to a son who was full of fragrance. It is quite loved by the old lady of the Zhu family. But the second sister also has an unspeakable bitterness. Her father-in-law has always been a small official of the Six-Rank Metropolitan Procuratorate. I haven't moved in more than ten years.
Is this Zhu family's brother-in-law incapable? Naturally not. He was also born in the two ranks of Jinshi, entered the palace and piloted the Shujishi, and was assigned to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to make a clear stream. had a good future with great ambitions, but his younger brother Zhu Youchun emerged early in his career. Studied under Peng Gelao. In the Ministry of Works, I operated step by step, from the main thing to the waiter. With such a jewel on the side of the younger brother. His brother, who had worked hard in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, became a fish, and his career has been suspended since then.
But Zhu Youchun is soaring and dazzling.
Even with his wife and children, he became more and more respected in the Zhu family.
Her second sister, a serious sister-in-law, has to be constrained by her brother and daughter-in-law everywhere. The servants of the family are even more inflamed. If it weren't for the fact that her son Zhu Maofang was ordered by a senior monk to be a Wenqu star, the old lady was very precious to this grandson, I am afraid that she would not even have the qualifications to speak in the Zhu family.
During this period, her second sister also mentioned to her father-in-law that he should go to her second brother to discuss the place to move, but her father-in-law was persuaded by her younger brother in a few words...... Since then, her father-in-law seems to have been lowered, and she never mentions any promotions, and she wholeheartedly acts as the person behind her brother.
Her second sister was half angry, but her husband was a pedantic and upright person, and refused to go to Zhu Youchun to talk again. When she returned to her parents' house, the three sisters talked together, and when she mentioned this matter, Mrs. Xue San gave her an idea, saying why hang Zhu Youchun alone? Since Zhu Youchun didn't want to promote his brother, they could find another way to find another relationship.
Mrs. Xue's second sister knew that she was close to Mrs. Tang Ge, so she entrusted her with this matter.
Therefore, Mrs. Xue San took the opportunity to send Laba porridge to Mrs. Tang to mention the situation of her sister and brother-in-law first.
There have been such examples in the past, and she really did it, so she took it all in.
But apparently Mrs. Tang was not in the mood to listen to her sister's miserable path.
She kept looking out the window, and when she heard a little movement, she beckoned the maid to come in and ask questions.
Seeing this, she was immediately embarrassed to say any more, and hesitated to get up and say goodbye.
Mrs. Tang was quite impatient, although she didn't say anything about sending off the guests, but it was almost the same meaning.
At that moment, she could only get up and say goodbye in a daze.
Mrs. Tang looked relieved, and smiled and told the maid to send her out.
She saluted and said goodbye and was just about to go out, when she saw the curtain open, and a fierce wind and frost breath penetrated into the house that burned the earth and was as warm as spring.
A tall young man entered, unbuttoned his hood, revealing a sword-eyed face.
She was surprised who this person was, and she was able to go directly into Mrs. Tang's house to meet her, when she heard a series of stumbling footsteps behind her.
Madame Tang walked past her unsteadily, and at once took the young man tightly in her arms.
Even forgetting that she was still in the house, she began to cry.
Different from the kind of small sobbing with scruples and demeanor, Mrs. Tang cried affectionately and carried away, hugging the man in her arms tightly and refusing to let go, as if he would run away as soon as he let go.
Who is this man?
Only later did she know that this person was Mrs. Tang's "sister-in-law" who was sent to the master to recuperate.
But he is clearly strong and strong, where is the "frail and sickly" described by the Tang family?
She always thought that the sister-in-law of the Tang family, who had never met before, was already terminally ill and couldn't even get out of bed, otherwise which parent would want their son to be exiled all the year round and not be happy under his knees?
What's more, it's just others, Mrs. Tang is the most real person, sometimes when she mentions this only son, she always has tears in her eyes and sighs for a long time.
made her think that the sister-in-law of the Tang family was about to die soon, and she shed a lot of tears on weekdays.
But I didn't want to see it that day, it was so magnificent, burly and tall.
Why don't you let her fall through her eyes? (To be continued......)
