The next day, Su Yan finished grooming and led Bai Fei to Ruyi Hall to say goodbye.

When she arrived, the flower hall was already full of wives and grandmothers, and everyone was sitting around the table for breakfast.

Yu Shi laughed, "Hurry up and add a pair of dishes and chopsticks to the county lord!" ”

I didn't see Zhan Yan at the table, and there was no Jiang Shuncheng, so I was stunned, "So early, my father went to teach Chuanliang to read?" ”

Yu said: "I slept in the big study last night, and I haven't seen anyone for a day. Your father is busier than when he was an official. ”

Zhang Shuangshuang held a bowl of soup with his own hands, with a smile in his eyebrows and eyes, quite a sense of pride.

Su Yan took a look: "Eight treasure porridge." "It doesn't take a lot of work to do this, the ingredients are secondary, and the main thing is that it takes time and energy to make porridge.

Shen said: "Both of them are boiled, and they will get up on the fourth watch today." ”

Su Yeon was more and more surprised, this was also too early.

Murong Shi glanced at Zhang Shuangshuang, who was happy, "She is making porridge for us, it is clear that the heir has been promoted and is going to serve in the ministry, she is happy in her heart, and she is in a hurry to make the eight-treasure porridge that the heir loves to eat." ”

Su Yan's heart sank slightly, King Jing left Beijing, as if the officials of various ministries and institutes changed frequently, Jiang Chuanhei went to the Ministry of Officials to serve as the first position of the fifth rank Langzhong, and was suddenly promoted from the head of the Ministry of Rites to the fifth rank Langzhong, which can be said to be promoted two levels in a row.

Even Jiang Shuhong was transferred to the household department to serve as the left waiter of Zhengsanpin.

The Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households are the two most oily and watery departments, and many officials have tried their best to get in.

Jiang Chuanhei was only twenty-five years old, and he became an official of the fifth grade, which is also young and promising, one of the few in the imperial city, and has the title of grandson of the third grade, and is also a leading figure.

Yu said: "Men are very hard to work outside, to be the husband and godson of their wives, and to serve their husbands and sons well is Dali." She looked at Shen with a smile, "The eldest grandson's daughter-in-law you picked at the beginning is very discerning." ”

As soon as Zhang Shuangshuang married into the Jiang family, he gave birth to two sons in a row, and had a daughter last year, but unfortunately the second son died young, but fortunately he had a pair of children under his knees, and Zhang Shuangshuang was not very painful. With a son, even if his position in his in-law's family is stable, if he is careful and does not make a big mess, he can live his life smoothly and peacefully.

Zhang Shuangshuang saw that He finished eating a bowl and said, "Third aunt, I'll add another bowl to you, you are now a person with three bodies, and one person should be three people." ”

Everyone's eyes involuntarily moved to He's belly, although it was less than four months, it looked like she was six months pregnant.

Jiang Suting's laughter came from outside the courtyard gate, as if talking to Changxing: "Okay, okay, go study with your fourth cousin." The year after tomorrow is going to end, and I will strive to give us a fame in one fell swoop, so that I can call my mother beautiful. ”

Zhang Changxing's voice was very low, and everyone didn't hear what to say, only to see Jiang Suting wearing a festive brocade robe, dressed very luxuriously, swaying into the courtyard door, as soon as he came in and saw the people sitting around the flower hall, he was stunned at first, and then said: "I smelled the smell of eight-treasure porridge from afar, and I ate a small bowl of lotus seed soup at home, and I couldn't help it." With a salivating look, he said to the serving girl, "Bring me a bowl." ”

Yu looked at her with a smile, "If you are young, you are a glutton, but whenever you see something delicious, you will be missing." ”

Shen looked at Jiang Suting curiously, "Are you going to attend a banquet today?" ”

The girl added an embroidery pestle to Su Yan's side.

Jiang Suting took the words and took a bite, "I put too much sugar and am a little tired." ”

Zhang Shuangshuang was a little embarrassed. In her mother's house, Jiang Suting is her sister-in-law, and in her mother-in-law's house, Jiang Suting has become her aunt, and the Zhang and Jiang families are originally close to each other. She would be uncomfortable when others said this, but Jiang Suyan was an exception.

Married to her husband, Zhang Shuangshuang called Jiang Suting "sister-in-law" when she was in her mother's house, and now she is out of the cabinet, and she calls Jiang Suyan "aunt" with the title of the Jiang family, but she still calls Zhang Desong "big brother", and the children also call Zhang Desong "uncle". I don't know the relationship, but I feel that this title is a bit confusing. In the past, the Yu family and the Shen family had original opinions on this marriage, but they felt that the generations were not compatible, how could Jiang Chuanhei and Zhang Shuangshuang fall in love, except that the generations were a little messy, Zhang Shuangshuang's character and appearance were not picked, Yu nodded, and the Shen family was not good to object.

Zhang Shuangshuang replied: "Next time, don't put the sugar in the pot, let everyone season it yourself." ”

Jiang Suting said: "I heard that the heir has been promoted, do you have to hold a flower viewing party in the house and inform your relatives and friends." No wonder Zhang Shuangshuang is in a very good mood today, there is nothing happier than her husband's promotion.

Shen said: "There have been enough things recently, first of all, the marriage of the sixth uncle. In a few days, it will be a distant marriage, and what kind of flower viewing party will be held, just these two things, the house will be a mess. ”

Murong has been with everyone for a long time, and he has learned to be tactful, whenever he talks about embarrassing things, the best way is to divert the topic, "Sister-in-law is going out today, where are you going?" ”

Jiang Suting ate a few more bites, which were originally very fragrant, but she didn't like sweets very much, so she put down the bowl, elegantly wiped the corners of her mouth with Luopa, and said: "Jingnan Houfu held a flower-viewing banquet today, and I only received the post when I returned home last night, can I not go?" ”

Zhang Shuangshuang exclaimed, "Look at me, I forgot about this." ”

Murong said: "Yesterday, someone sent a post to our house. I also thought that it would be enough for someone to send a gift. ”

Jiang Suting laughed as she ate.

Yu was a little helpless.

Murong saw that everyone's faces were wrong, and hurriedly said, "Isn't it right?" ”

He Shi preemptively said: "It's not a birthday banquet, a wedding, and it's not a happy event for adding a mouth, it's just a flower appreciation banquet, no need to prepare gifts, a flower appreciation banquet, and a fruit tasting banquet are all things that invite everyone to sit and sit in the past, and talk lively." ”

Murong saw that he made a joke, but fortunately he didn't give it, isn't it strange that he didn't give a gift to him. The expression became more and more embarrassed, it was better to marry the eldest daughter-in-law earlier, and with her, I didn't have to worry about it. I thought that whenever there was a banquet, I had to give gifts.

The Yu family was afraid that the Murong family would make a joke when they went out, and said: "If the second brother and sister don't go, let Su Ting and the proprietor make compensation, everyone knows that you have to be busy with the marriage of Chuanyuan, and it is reasonable that you can't leave." ”

Su Ting replied, "Aunt said yes", and when she arrived at Jingnan Houfu, she would naturally tell her on her behalf and explain a few words. "Sister-in-law has to accompany me today, look at this situation, there are a lot of people invited by Jingnan Houfu, my family Changxing and Changlong have reached the age of engagement, and my sister-in-law is the most accurate to see people, help me find a daughter-in-law."

Shen quipped: "I'm really not ashamed, I haven't booked yet, so I'm called my daughter-in-law." ”

Su Ting smiled, she really married a daughter-in-law, and if she had a daughter-in-law, someone would help her take care of the inner house, and she could breathe a sigh of relief. People are in the imperial city, her heart is still worried about the affairs of Jizhou Zhangfu, the second aunt and the third aunt are not the masters of the province, she fought fiercely when she was in the past, these two are not partial to their own sons, young ladies, they all want to pull more good things for their own children.

Zhang Shuangshuang said: "The eldest aunt wants to let Changxing go to enjoy the flowers?" ”

Su Ting was quite disapproving, "Let their grandfather personally teach reading, what a big deal, even their brothers said that they have made great progress recently, last night Desong was exquisite in the study, and the brothers answered like fluent, which is much better than the gentleman in Jizhou Mansion." I don't dare to delay. When he went out this morning, Desong also explained that he was not allowed to take them to the flower feast. "Children's studies are the most important, and that kind of flower viewing and playing is what wives and grandmothers like.

When Shen heard her, he felt that reading was even more important, and he still wanted to lead Chuanliang there, but Chuanliang was not young, and it was time to discuss relatives.

The old man wants to return to Jinyang in a few days, and if he studies for one more day, he will have a day's results, and he really can't delay.

Su Ting said: "Whether it's Chuanliang, or my family's prosperity and prosperity, which one is not handsome and upright, and you are afraid of being looked at?" Let's pick two good ones first, and book the family affairs as early as possible. "If they are engaged, they can fight for fame with peace of mind, and it is a decent thing to get married again when they have fame.

Shen felt that this was reasonable and nodded.

He said: "Do you have an eldest daughter in the Zhang family?" ”

This chiseled Su Ting's thoughts, she didn't put Zhang Jinjuan in her heart, but she didn't hear it. looked at the Yu family, and then fell on the Shen family, "Is the third sister-in-law going?" ”

Murong hurriedly replied: "Don't pull her, she is a twin in her belly, in case a good one comes, the third brother will not be able to find you desperately, even we dare not let her go out." The third brother said that she was weak and couldn't stand the fatigue, so she had to be let recuperate in the house. ”

He wanted to go, but Jiang Shupeng's words had a reason, so he didn't dare not listen, for fear that if there was a mistake, Jiang Shupeng would not spare her, and even the second elder of the Jiang family would not spare her. These days, I obediently stay in the house and don't go anywhere, so I'm really annoyed, so I find a few concubines to talk and chat, and more often than not, I accompany the Yu family to talk and inquire about Jinyang's hometown.

With the help of the girl, He went to the back garden to eat.

Zhang Shuangshuang led the people to clean up the dishes and chopsticks.

The Murong clan was busy going back to the second room to Zhang Luo's trivial matters, and there was nothing important. She didn't want to go to the flower feast, for fear that as soon as she left, someone would break into Qinglin Garden. Even to the Yu family, it is also said that Jiang Shukun is infected with the wind and cold.

The rest of the people in the room were all the most reliable in Jiang Suting's opinion, and she sighed lightly and said, "Auntie, can you give me an idea?" Desong's meaning is that he wants to give the brocade silk to the descendants of the royal family as concubines, so that he can help the Changxing brothers in the future. ”

In this matter, Zhang Desong asked Jiang Shuncheng's opinion early in the morning, otherwise the Yu family would not have given Zhang Jinjuan a good reward for hairpin jewelry and other things, and let her come to Jiang's house to play. Jiang Shuncheng did not answer Zhang Desong immediately, but only said that marrying into the royal family is either to serve the king with color or to serve the king with virtue, depending on Zhang Jinjuan's temperament.

Everyone has seen the appearance of brocade silk.

Zhang Shuangshuang sat on the embroidery pestle, a major matter related to her mother's family, frowned and said: "Marry a wife and marry a virtuous, and take a concubine." Sister-in-law, Jin Juan's temperament is not bad, this appearance is really too ordinary, and it can't catch up with half of Jin Se's water spirit. ”

Jin Juan's facial features are ordinary, and he can't stand out, standing with Jin Se, even Jin Se can't compare. How can such a posture get into the eyes of the descendants of the royal family, the wives of these people are all the ladies of famous families, and even the concubines are one in a hundred beauties.

Jiang Suting also saw it like this, and immediately said: "He wants to beat Se'er's idea, I don't agree, my daughter must be a wife and not a concubine." ”

When concubines marry high-ranking families, most of them are concubines with others.

And the concubines are all wives of people.

"Don't hide it from my aunt and sister-in-law, I'm afraid that the bad thing will hit Se'er with his idea, so I have to quickly find a family affair for Se'er. Desong is not like the men of our Jiang family, I must not harm my own daughter, and I will marry into my mother-in-law's family in the future and look at the eyes of others. "I can't wronged my own daughter, and I don't want Jinse to live a life of grievances and forbearance. rs
