Half an hour late, sorry -

The Spring Festival banquet is still set on the 14th.

After returning from the palace last time, Zhen Xuan was a little absent-minded, and it was naturally Yan Mu'an's business that confused her.

Those emotions are indescribable, every time I want to calm down and sort it out, I am interrupted by some trivial things, and when I lie in bed at night, my eyelids fight, and I am confused when I think about it.

The carriage stopped outside Qingrong Hall, Zhen Xuan lifted the curtain and looked outside, and saw Zhen Lin and Zhen Qi getting into the car one after another, but Zhen Ying didn't come out for a long time.

Zhen Ying didn't appear, and after arriving at the palace, Zhen Xuan asked Zhen Lin in a low voice, "Why didn't the third sister come?" ”

Zhen Lin squeezed out a smile, a little embarrassed, looked around, and made sure that no one paid attention to them, so she suppressed her voice and said to Zhen Xuan: "There is a letter from Jingli, and Uncle Seventh also has a letter to the third sister, she locked herself in the house and lost her temper after reading it, and her grandmother asked Jinhong to persuade her, but she didn't persuade her back." ”

In addition to the New Year's greetings, Kyosato's letter also brought several news.

Zhen Ke gave birth to a boy a few years ago, who was white and chubby, and made her husband's family Honglu Shaoqing's family happy. Honglu Shaoqing asked for his grandson to marry Zhenke, and the most important thing is the prosperity of the Pei family's descendants. Zhenke really lived up to expectations, she became pregnant not long after entering the door, and she also won the man in one fell swoop, which was really a happy event.

Mrs. Ma read the letter, squinted and smiled, and praised Zhenke for her ability. There are also blessings.

Aunt Li is most looking forward to Zhenke's good work, as soon as this letter comes, her waist is straight, and her confidence is enough. The whole person is radiant.

Because she violated Mrs. Ma's intentions the previous time and grabbed Aunt Chen, Aunt Li was very decent in front of the old lady. This time it was different, looking horizontally and vertically, I felt that the old lady smiled a little warmer at her.

Aunt Li was proud and satisfied, said a few words in front of Duan, and took the maid to the temple to make incense.

Some people are happy and some people are unhappy, in Zhen Ying's letter, there are not many parts written by the seventh master, and most of the thick letter paper is written by stepmother You.

You's characters are small and exquisite. is like a person like her, petite and charming, and in Zhenying's words, it is a fox and a goblin, not a good thing.

You Shi wantonly proclaimed his care for Zhenying on paper, and asked Mrs. Ma to take care of Zhenying, making her stepmother's heart uneasy. But I am afraid that I will not be able to take care of the child well, and I will not have the face to see Zhenying's biological mother in the future. She also said that she served the Seventh Master very well, so Zhenying should not worry about it.

Zhen Ying watched patiently, seeing these almost scolding, these words sounded good, but in fact, the knives flew towards Zhen Ying.

When she got to the back, You Shi's original intention came out, and she kept reminding Zhenying that she was fourteen years old this year, and she would be in time for this time tomorrow. Even Mrs. Ma is no longer in a hurry, and she has to find a family affair for Zhenying.

If Mrs. Ma does not have a suitable marriage match, she, as a stepmother, should take on this responsibility and find a good relationship for Zhenying.

Zhen Ying's eyes were bleeding, and she tore the letter three times and twice. threw a room, stomped her feet and said: "She's a weasel giving New Year's greetings to chickens, what kind of kindness can she have?" Looking for relatives for me, what good relatives can she find? Either crooked melons and cracked dates are misconducted. Can I give her my whole life? ”

Seeing Zhenying like this, Mama Chen was anxious and persuaded: "My good young lady, why are you angry." You Shi is in the capital, we are in Yongzhou, can she put her hand here? It's that she wants to stretch, and there is an old lady above, can the old lady look at her and not give you a good way? Miss, the old lady loves you the most, you can tell the old lady well, she can't bear you. ”

Zhen Ying pouted, her red eyes blinked, and then she forced her tears back: "You Shi is just my stepmother, I don't believe that without her, I will become an old girl that no one wants." ”

The discord between Zhenying and You's family is known to the Pei family, and Mrs. Ma was afraid that Zhenying would be wronged so she took her back to her side to raise, and Zhenying is getting older year by year, and Mrs. Ma will also have considerations in her heart.

In addition to the letter from Beijing, the Liu family in Yanling also sent a letter and brought some things to Liu Yiwan.

The letter of the Liu family was addressed to Mrs. Ma, and the letter praised Mrs. Bagu's goodness, and she was also very sad about her early death.

Mrs. Ma is a smart person, and when she saw the letter, she understood, her face turned red, and she slapped the table angrily and said, "My old face has been lost by Shi Yao!" ”

Even if Mrs. Ma told her thousands of instructions, Mrs. Jiugu still sent a letter to the Liu family, wanting to marry Liu Yiwan for her stepson Luo Sanye. The Liu family also knew what the situation of the Luo family was, how could they agree?

It's just that the Liu family didn't understand whether this was the meaning of Mrs. Jiugu alone or the Pei family's approval, so they sent a letter to Mrs. Ma, explaining their thoughts - Liu Yiwan's marriage will be decided by the Liu family, and the Pei family will not worry about it.

Mrs. Ma was ashamed and angry, replied to the Liu family, and wanted to repair a letter to scold Mrs. Jiugu, thinking about it and feeling bored, she couldn't listen to it anyway.

After listening to these three things, Zhen Xuan sighed: "The third sister will be in time next year, and it is inevitable that she will be anxious. ”

"No matter how good a stepmother is, she can't compare to her mother. What's more, the third sister didn't like her as soon as the seventh uncle and aunt entered the door. After Zhen Lin finished speaking, her eyes swept over Liu Yiwan, who was talking to Zhen Qi, "She also has no mother, and she doesn't know what will happen to Lu Dao in the future." ”

Liu Yiwan seemed to know that Zhenlin was talking about her, turned her head with a smile, and said, "I'm the first time I've come back, I don't know the rules, I don't know the bottom of my heart, and the two of you are still hiding behind." Come along and show us the way. ”

Zhen Xuan also smiled when she heard this, with Liu Yiwan's temperament, even if she had a stepmother, she wouldn't be as troublesome as Zhen Ying.

Being embarrassed at the Spring Festival banquet has been prepared for a long time.

Han Siniang looked at the Pei family sisters with a smile, walked over with her head up, and said, "A few sisters and sisters." Since I married a cousin, why haven't I seen you come out and walk around this year? ”

Zhen Lin grabbed Zhen Qi and smiled smartly: "The rules at home are heavy, if you don't receive a post, it's not good to go out to visit friends at will." Sister Yan is afraid that we will be embarrassed. I didn't send a post to me. ”

Han Siniang's smile froze, Zhen Lin's meaning was very clear, the young lady of the Pei family with a big family was not as good as them. Feel free to come and go.

Han Siniang gritted her teeth, glanced at Zhen Lin, looked at Liu Yiwan again, and said, "This is also Miss Cousin?" The Pei family is really a big family, so they married one and came another. It's really enviable. ”

Liu Yiwan lives in Qingfu Hall, how could he not have heard of Su Manyue's matter. Liu Yemei frowned slightly and then dispersed, and said with a smile: "When I was in Beijing, I heard people mention the Han Governor's Mansion, saying that the Prefect has governed Yongzhou very well over the years, and the people praised it. I listened to it and admired Han Governor's Mansion quite a lot. ”

Liu Yiwan praised the prefect of Han when he opened his mouth, but Han Siniang didn't expect it. But who doesn't want to listen to nice words, she herself deeply agrees that her father is a good official.

Han Siniang raised her head and said proudly: "Of course, my father is a protégé of the Son of Heaven, and after he became the prefect of Yongzhou, he also wholeheartedly worked for the well-being of the people, if there was no my father, how could Yongzhou City be so peaceful." The comfortable life of this family and that big family is all due to my father. ”

Han Siniang has always spoken like this, and she has also offended many children of the family. It's just that she is the daughter-in-law of the prefect, and they are self-conscious, so they don't want to say more.

There were a lot of people on the side at this time, and when they heard Han Siniang's words, even if they were well-cultivated, they all frowned.

Liu Yiwan is still smiling. Said sweetly: "Now it seems that it seems to be a rumor outside." If one room is not governed, how can the world and the country be governed. It really disappointed Yiwan. ”

Before Liu Yiwan's words fell, he heard a few low laughter from everywhere, and even put a smile on his face directly, looking at Han Siniang.

The sudden situation made Han Siniang stunned, she opened her mouth, and she didn't know if she understood these words.

Han Wuniang's face was blue and white for a while, she didn't pay attention to why her sister went to the trouble of the Pei family again, obviously she couldn't take advantage of it every time, but she still insisted on going her own way.

Liu Yiwan's words were clearly a joke that the Han Governor couldn't even discipline his daughter well, how could he have the face to say that he had managed Yongzhou well. These words were spread by the young ladies here, and how could their father still raise his head.

Han Wuniang stood there, unable to advance or retreat; Han Siniang's face turned red, and she didn't know what to do.

Liu Yiwan took a hundred percent of his mouth, and he didn't want to entangle more, but he looked petty, turned his head and said to Zhen Lin: "Let's go look elsewhere?" ”

Zhen Xuan and the others tried their best to hold back their laughter just now, and finally couldn't help laughing when they reached no one.

Zhenqi held her stomach and said: "Ah, I'm laughing to death, look at Han Siniang's face is black, if the third sister is here, she will definitely fall into the well and make them unreasonable." ”

Zhen Xuan pointed at Liu Yiwan with a smile and said, "Originally, when you were good, who knew that Lu Dao's mouth was also a bad mouth." ”

Liu Yiwan pursed her lips and smiled: "It was she who provoked first, I really don't like her appearance." ”

When Muen and Muyi came, this Spring Festival banquet could be regarded as really lively.

Because of what happened just now, someone came to talk to them from time to time, Zhen Xuan was a little uncomfortable, and said to Zhen Lin, and went to the side to look at the lanterns.

was meditating on the lantern riddle, and suddenly heard a string of laughter, not far away a few well-dressed maids came with tea cups and melons and fruits, not laughing.

Those maids were walking extremely fast, and it was too late for Zhen Xuan to react to avoid it. The maid with the tea cup bumped into her at once.

The maid was stunned, until the maids on the side knelt down to plead guilty, and then hurriedly knelt down, kowtowed: "It was Yuzhu who walked carelessly and bumped into Miss, Miss atoned for her sins." ”

Just bumping into it, Zhen Xuan touched the wet clothes on her body, the water was slightly hot, and the winter clothes were also thick, but they didn't hurt, but the wet clothes couldn't be worn.

Hearing the movement, Mu En walked quickly, and when she saw the appearance of the maids, Yuzhu's head was low, she frowned immediately, took Zhen Xuan's hand, and said, "It's going to catch a cold, you can't wear my clothes, there are a few new ones in the Mu Yi House that haven't been worn yet, I'll let them take you to change your clothes." (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
