On the third day of the first lunar month, the gentlemen of the Jiang family went out to visit relatives and friends.

New Year's gifts are distributed to families before Chinese New Year's Eve.

On the fourth day of the first lunar month, starting from the big house, take turns to do the East New Year's Festival.

The Yu family ordered Su Yan and Yu Wenyan to also go back to their parents' house, and the family was so lively.

More importantly, the Yu family was worried that Su Yan would not have a good time in the left shoulder palace, for fear that someone would wronged Su Yan again.

This old prince used to have only one wife earlier, but now he has changed, and he can get five or six women back to the house in a few days, which is really staggering.

Su Yan thought that the county lord of Qingxia was also bored in the mansion, so she took the county lord of Qingxia to the Jiang family as a guest.

When the three of them arrived, the flower hall of Ruyi Hall was already full of wives and grandmothers in each room.

Today, because he is the owner of a big house, Zhang Shuangshuang is busy preparing a sumptuous and special banquet for the whole family.

Yu Wenyan greeted the Yu family, greeted the wives of each room, and went to play with Jiang Chuanyuan's brothers.

A room full of wives and grandmothers all looked at So-yeon curiously, trying to see something different from her face.

Yu said: "Yan'er is like a few of you who are blessed, have the help of concubines, and have the guidance of your mother-in-law." Because Qingxia was on the side, the Yu family didn't have much to say, and she couldn't say how her mother was unvirtuous in front of her daughter.

He Shi said coldly: "If the Ye family is virtuous, there will be no evil women in this world." The tone was full of disdain and disdain, and he didn't put Qingxia sitting on one side in his eyes at all, and he glanced at Qingxia's gaze unconsciously a little more hostile.

Su Yeon lowered her eyes and drank tea.

He Shi's face was worried, "My sister-in-law won't blame me, right?" I told Zhenfei early in the morning, but he didn't take my words seriously. ”

If He said about Princess Ye in the morning, maybe Su Yan and Yu Wenyan would have twists and turns. "What do you mention him to do in the past?" She looked at He, "It's just the third sister-in-law, you won't hate my husband even with it, right?" ”

He Shi was slightly stunned, and quickly laughed, "He doesn't know anything, I hate what he does." Besides, he is still the sister-in-law's husband and the child's uncle. I only hate the Ye family, she killed my own mother. ”

"Your mother?" So-yeon was surprised.

Liu Feifei on the side told the He family in a low voice.

He was not Mrs. He's biological daughter, Mrs. He was her aunt, and her mother would be a madman. I'm afraid that this kind of hatred is difficult for the He family to bear.

The county lord of Qingxia sat beside Su Yan, and when he heard this, the five tastes were mixed, and the He family had caused the old princess Ye to fall to the point where she was today, and the county lord of Qingxia was also very uncomfortable. I often worry that I am helping my mother. Still helping my father.

Ho was also calm. raised his head, "Lord Qingxia doesn't have to be nervous. It was the Ye family who harmed my mother, and I will not embarrass you and Lord Yan. The old prince is now married to a side concubine and has accepted a few concubines. Ye is so jealous, this is the biggest punishment for her......"

Qingxia gave an embarrassed smile.

Seeing that the He family was celebrating the New Year, the Yu family frowned when he talked about the grievances of the elders, "The third daughter-in-law, you are not compared to the others, how many children do you have in the house, go back and take a look first, don't just talk about it." ”

He Shi Zhilu said. This is the Yu family who thinks she keeps saying those words, so she got up obediently and retired and left.

Su Yan looked at Cao Yu'e curiously, frowning slightly, "Yo." Why is your complexion so bad? ”

Liu Feifei looked at Cao Yu'e, "What sister-in-law said, is it true, what's wrong with Yu'e?" Is it sick? ”

Du Yingqiu pursed her lips and smiled.

Li Biling looked inquiring.

The ninth princess said: "It's strange today, even the eldest aunt is busy preparing lunch, but let Cao Yu'e sit down and talk to us." ”

Yu smiled, disapproving.

Murong had a flash of inspiration at this moment, and immediately understood what was going on, "Look, our family has to add Ding Jia again." ”

Liu Feifei exclaimed, "Pregnant?" She turned her head to look at Yu.

The Shen family wandered around in front of the Yu family all day long, and if he was really pregnant, he would definitely be the first to tell the Yu family.

Yu said: "Don't ask one by one, didn't this just be diagnosed by the imperial doctor?" Seeing that her qi and blood are weak, you should be careful to recuperate. ”

Li Biling was depressed: Cao Yu'e has only been in the door for a long time, and she is pregnant so soon. But as for her, she is a few newcomers to the door, but there is no news so far.

The ninth princess smiled there and said, "Give birth to a daughter!" After giving birth to a daughter, I can play with my Yutong. ”

Cao Yu'e asked rhetorically: "Yutong? ”

The ninth princess held her stomach, "The fifth master held back for a month, and finally thought of a good name for his daughter, Yutong, which means Wutong in the rain." Isn't the eldest brother's daughter called Yuqi? Our family's name is Yutong. There are many names for flowers and grasses, and this paulownia character is the best. ”

Although Jiang Chuanchuan is also literate, he is not as good as the people in those rooms, and he has been reading poetry and books since he was a child. It's really not easy to choose a name that satisfies the Ninth Princess.

Cao Yu'e lowered her head and said: "My sister-in-law is pregnant for three months, you look at others, there is nothing at all, where is it like me, I vomited after eating it in the morning." ”

Lord Qingxia's eyes stopped on Su Yan's stomach, the grandmothers of the Jiang family are pregnant with heirs one by one, and there will be news about whether her sister-in-law will come in a few days.

Su Yan said: "I heard people say that when you are pregnant, if you react bigly, the child you give birth to will be smarter. Yu'e should be happy. ”

Liu Feifei liked to hear this, and said busily: "I think it's exactly, look at my family Eleven, although he is not much older, he is not much smarter than ordinary children." ”

The ninth princess said: "Which family is a parent who doesn't look at their own children. ”

Liu Feifei disagreed, "My eleven is smart." Now when you tease him and talk to him, he can also talk about it, it's so cute. ”

While he was talking, someone came to report: "My aunt and wife have arrived!" ”

"Please let her in!"

Jiang Suting led a son and two daughters into the flower hall and saluted the Yu family.

Yu said with a smile: "The Qingxia County Lord of the Left Shoulder Mansion is stuffy, Jinjuan, Jinse, you two play with the guests." ”

Jin Se enthusiastically pulled the county lord of Qingxia, and the three girls went out together.

Jiang Suting tilted her head to look at Su Yan, and asked fiercely, "Sister, I heard that the old witch in your house made things difficult for you?" ”

As soon as the Yu family heard this, they immediately frowned, "Fortunately, the county lord of Qingxia has gone out, so that people can hear that our Jiang family doesn't even have a rule." ”

Jiang Suting disagreed, and said loudly: "My sister is such a good person, in our Jiang family, which one is not spoiled." That day, I listened to the mother-in-law next to me, she actually took the little maid to search her sister's boudoir, and the little maid took away the little clothes, which rule is this? Even I was so angry that I wanted to rush to the door and scold for a fight.

This is spreading out, does my sister still want to be a person? I've heard a lot of things, and I really haven't heard of any mother-in-law doing such a thing, so angry that I can't eat at home for several days, if it weren't for the idea of letting the old witch have a peaceful New Year, otherwise I would have really gone over to shave a few big ears for her......"

Jiang Suting said a lot of things as if venting there, and called the old princess Ye one by one.

A room full of wives and grandmothers all looked at Su Yan with sympathy.

So-yeon lowered her head and didn't speak.

Yu asked, "These days, are you okay in the house?" ”

Su Yan didn't want to mention these unhappy things, and smiled: "It's okay." A while ago, the old princess had a stomach upset, so she moved to the Buddhist hall for meditation. ”

Jiang Suting said: "This kind of old witch who practices people, it's good to kill her after the worst." ”

It was the first time for others to see Jiang Suting have a seizure like this, and they spoke dryly, but Liu Feifei liked it, and looked at Jiang Suting with a smile. None of the others answered Jiang Suting's words.

Su Yan diverted the topic and said: "On the morning of the second day of the new year, we went to the royal ancestral hall on Huangci Street, which was really a little strange, and it was the first time I knew that the wives and side wives had to donate silver to enter the family tree, or the price was clearly marked, and no one was allowed to bargain. ”

Everyone immediately found it interesting.

Liu Feifei said straightly: "Sister-in-law, come and listen." ”

Su Yan told her in detail about going to the royal ancestral hall on Huangci Street that day.

Li Biling said: "I have heard of such a place in the morning. It is also called Xianglong Lane, and it is full of royal heirs. ”

The stone tablet hanging there is "Xianglong Lane", but the people prefer to call it Huangci Street.

There are not many people who know the road in Xianglong Lane, but when it comes to the people of the entire imperial city on the Huangci Street, they all know the road.

Many people don't know that Xianglong Lane and Huangci Street are actually the same place.

Liu Feifei shouted: "My God, the main wife will have to pay 50,000 taels of silver when she enters the family tree, and the side wife will have to pay 100,000 taels ......."

How much does this cost, if you don't have money, you simply don't enter the ancestral hall.

So-yeon talked about the use of the money again.

Yu said: "This is also the reason why the imperial court collects poll tax in various public offices and government offices like ordinary people. The royal family had three hundred and fifty taels of silver to be handed over to the treasury one year. I remember it was about 10 years ago, and I heard your father mention it. ”

The Ninth Princess's eyes flashed, "Why haven't I been there?" This is not right, the county lord of Qingxia is the left shoulder palace has been to it several times, but I have never been there. ”

Su Yan said: "I heard that as soon as the princes and princesses are born, no matter how old they are, their own patriarch will write down their names with a pen in his own hand. When remembering their names, they will also record their biological mother's surname and title, and the prince will specifically write that he was born in a certain month and year, and the side of the princess's title is written in small letters 'The biological mother gave birth to a certain concubine in a certain year'. All emperors and princes were painted golden yellow, and large black letters were written. Everyone else is on a white wall, with big black letters, and the whole wall is all over it. I heard that there are more than 400 royal heirs with names on them, thirteen princes, seventeen county kings, and thirty-three marquises, and some of them marry into the royal family every year, and there are also those who have reached the number of years of the knighthood every year, and they can no longer be knighted......"

The ninth princess listened to Su Yan's words, with a look of envy, and a deep regret, as a princess, she had never been to such a place.

At this moment, it was clear that she was talking about the things in the imperial hall, but the ninth princess couldn't say a word, which made her feel very ashamed. She grew so big, she never went to the Imperial Ancestral Street once, I don't know that the original royal family also has ancestral halls and family temples, she has only seen the royal family temple in the palace, where the portraits of the emperors of the past dynasties are hung, from the first generation of Northern Qi Taizu Emperor Yu Wenhao, Empress Sheng Wencheng to the first emperor and Queen Xu.
