Not long after Xing Aya went, she came back with Xia Huqing.

Xia Huqing entered the house with a smile and said, "Sister-in-law, I have enjoyed the blessings, this osmanthus sugar lotus is glutinous and fragrant." ”

Zhen Xuan invited Xia Huqing to sit down: "It's good if you like it." ”

"Do you send it to your grandmother or mother?"

Zhen Xuan smiled and said: "You know sweets best, I only dare to send it to my grandmother and mother when I wait for your delicious sentence." ”

Xia Huqing pouted: "Sister-in-law, this is a joke for me!" ”

The aunt and sister-in-law joked for a while, and when the food box was prepared in the small kitchen, they were sent to Tingfeng Yuan together.

A small car was parked outside Tingfeng Garden.

Zhen Xuan was puzzled, and the little maid who was guarding the door saw her and Xia Huqing coming, and hurriedly greeted her.

Zhen Xuan walked inside and asked, "Grandmother has a guest?" ”

The little maid smiled innocently and nodded, "Grandma Hui, there is a guest today, from the palace." ”

Wang fu?

When it comes to the palace in Yongzhou, Zhen Xuan only thinks of the Yongliang Palace.

Zhen Xuan paused and looked at the little maid: "Who is here in the palace?" ”

Before the little maid could answer, Xia Huqing opened her mouth first: "Sister-in-law doesn't know what to say, every year at about this time, the palace sends a mother-in-law to give a New Year's gift in advance with her grandmother." Prince Huai'an remembers his grandmother every year. ”

Lord Huai'an......

Zhen Xuan realized that she thought badly, just now, only the word "Wangfu", her mind flashed the figures of Yan Mu'an and Zhen Ying, although those things have become a thing of the past, but when she mentions it at this time, or she meets the familiar master, maid, and mother-in-law in Yongliang Wangfu in Tingfeng Garden. It's not a very pleasant thing.

Zhen Xuan secretly took a deep breath. Thankfully, her reaction wasn't out of shape. I won't let Xia Huqing and the little maid see the clues.

One after the other entered the house, there were two strange mothers-in-law sitting in the east room, all dressed in the best quality, the clothes were probably more expensive than the ordinary wives and grandmothers, seeing Zhen Xuan and Xia Huqing enter the house, they smiled and got up and saluted.

The mother-in-law who can ask Prince Huai'an to deliver the New Year's gift must be extremely decent, and Zhen Xuan and Xia Huqing dare not accept their full gifts. He turned away a little and saluted back.

Mrs. Zhang, who was wearing a bamboo blue gown, looked at Xia Huqing carefully, and said to Mrs. Zheng with a smile: "The third lady is becoming more and more standard, and the slave maid remembers that a few years ago, when she was still a little baby with a high table edge, when she saw it today, the slave and maid would not recognize it." The eighteen changes in the female college, the bigger the more recruiting! ”

Mrs. Zheng called Mrs. Zhang to laugh, glanced at Xia Huqing, who blushed, and said, "You don't praise her." She was so ashamed that she didn't dare to look at people. ”

Mrs. Zhang responded with a smile, and looked at Zhenxuan again. Said: "The old lady is so blessed, the granddaughter-in-law looks good and behaves generously, and it is not a loss to everyone." ”

This sounds like a praise for Zhenxuan, but in fact, the old lady Zheng, who was born in the Zheng family, and the Zheng family are praised all over again.

Mrs. Zheng said: "That is also the emperor's grace, and I am such a good granddaughter-in-law." ”

After a few more jokes, Mrs. Zheng asked Zhen Xuan and Xia Huqing about their intentions.

Zhen Xuan asked Tao Aya to bring the food box and replied, "I made some osmanthus sugar lotus in the kitchen, and I sent them to my grandmother and mother to taste." ”

Xiang Xi took it, and ordered someone to take the dishes and chopsticks, and divided them one by one.

Mrs. Zhang took a sip and praised: "The cook in Grandma's house is really a good craft, and it tastes really good." ”

"It's in line with Huqing's taste." Old Mrs. Zheng smiled, and asked Zhen Xuan if she had ever been sent to the Immortal Residence, and when she saw Zhen Xuan shaking her head, she said, "You and Hu Qing will go and ask the old ancestor to try it too." ”

Zhen Xuan responded, it was not good to delay, and the two of them retreated with Xia Huqing and went to the Changsheng Residence.

The old ancestor just got up after taking a nap, and put down the chopsticks after a few bites: "When I was young, I liked glutinous rice the most, whether it was making zongzi, grinding flour to make soup balls, I couldn't stop eating." Now that I'm older, I don't dare to eat more. ”

After speaking, the old ancestor glanced at it again, but he no longer moved his chopsticks.

Mama Gui smiled lightly and said: "Glutinous rice replenishes qi and warms the spleen and stomach, the ancestors eat some occasionally, as long as it is not much, it is still very good." These pieces of osmanthus sugar lotus root are just right to eat. ”

The old ancestor smiled and nodded: "Mother Gui, since I was seriously ill a few years ago, you said that I didn't dare to eat and use this and that, it was really a lot less fun, and there was no taste in my mouth." You really should try it once in a while, or you'll forget what it tastes like. The taste in Yiqing's daughter-in-law's house is good, I can't finish eating, you can take it and divide it. ”

Mama Gui and Xiang Xi thanked each other.

Yi Yi opened the curtain and came in, looking embarrassed, and when she saw Zhen Xuan and Xia Huqing there, she was slightly relieved, what she brought was really not good news, if the ancestor got angry for a while, there would be someone who could persuade him.

Yi Yifu saluted and said stubbornly: "Ancestor, the matchmaker invited by the second old lady before has arrived at Pingcui Garden. ”

Sure enough, the old ancestor frowned when he heard this.

Mrs. He's temperament, the ancestor understands, although she promised that she would refuse the Wang family, but if the matchmaker is asked to flicker around, it will be a troublesome matter at that time.

She would never allow Xia Suqing to have anything to do with the lady of Nake, after thinking about it, the old ancestor said: "Ask someone to wait outside Pingcui Garden, as soon as the matchmaker comes out to listen to the tone, if it's not right, invite me over, and then ask someone to invite the eldest daughter-in-law to come." ”

Yi Yi answered.

Zhen Xuan and Xia Huqing glanced at each other, and they both read a trace of doubt in each other's eyes.

The old ancestor wanted to call the matchmaker to come to the eternal residence, they were not surprised, but they didn't know why they had to invite the Zheng family over, this is a matter of the second room, and it is still reasonable to invite the Zhang family and the Chen family.

Zhen Xuan wanted to confess to the old ancestor and leave with Xia Huqing, after all, this is to talk about the marriage of the little uncle, and it is from Mrs. He's side, so it is better to avoid some.

As soon as he opened his mouth, the old ancestor waved his hand and said, "It's okay, Yiqing's daughter-in-law is just sitting." ”

Since the ancestor said so, Zhen Xuan had no choice but to do so. Xia Huqing is an unmarried woman, and she is not a matchmaker for her, and before the matchmaker comes, she has to avoid the blue yarn cupboard.

Zheng came in a hurry, and the ancestor didn't talk to her in detail, so she could only sit and listen to the ancestor gossip, and sometimes respond to a few words.

After waiting for three quarters of an hour, the matchmaker arrived at the Eternal Residence.

Zhen Xuan raised her eyes and looked at the matchmaker a few times, she was in her early forties, with a horse face and high cheekbones, slender eyes, a matchmaker mole at the corner of her mouth, thin and tall, wearing a rouge gown, her eyes turned around when she entered the room, and it was the last one that fell on the old ancestor who was sitting on the Luohan bed.

Xu is ancestor's serious appearance was a little infiltrating, and the matchmaker stood there for a long time without moving, until Mama Gui coughed heavily, she woke up and saluted and said hello.

The matchmaker said that her surname was Li, and she was a well-known matchmaker in Yongzhou City, and she had said that many children of officials and merchants were relatives, and she was a popular person in the backyard.

Xia Huqing was curious, glanced secretly from the blue yarn cupboard, and when she heard this, she couldn't help laughing, and hurriedly raised her hand to cover her mouth, so as not to let the sound come out. Not to mention that the matchmaker's face is not like the blessing that the old ladies and wives in Yongzhou City like, but the gaffe when she came in to see the ancestor just now has exposed the lie that she often goes in and out of the backyard of official merchants, and can't help but secretly say: "'The matchmaker population is immeasurable. That's right. ”

The old ancestor bowed his head, but did not speak.

Mama Gui on the side opened her mouth for the old ancestor and said, "Since Mother Li has talked about a lot of family affairs, she should also know the rules for marrying daughters-in-law in people like us. ”

Mrs. Li smiled and said, "There are rules. I know what the second old lady means, so I chose the one that suits her heart. To be honest, Miss Wang is really good. ”

The old ancestor paused with the hand of the Buddha beads.

Zhen Xuan raised her eyes to look at Mrs. Li, and couldn't help but wonder how Mrs. He refused in Pingcui Garden before, and why Mrs. Li was still saying that Miss Wang was good when she came here, which was in line with Mrs. He's wishes.

Mama Gui understood the thoughts of the ancestors, and continued to ask: "I don't know what Mother Li said is good, what is good?" In my opinion, Miss Wang is not a good match. ”

Mrs. Li naturally knew what Mama Gui was referring to.

Although Mrs. He didn't nod her head clearly last time, her tone was already heartwarming, which made Mrs. Li quite happy, but Miss Wang was in a special situation, and she didn't get on the sedan chair for a day, and this thing was not a success for a day, and she inevitably remembered it. Entering the house today, sure enough, Mrs. He's attitude became extremely ambiguous, and Mrs. Li tried to talk to Mrs. He again, but asked Mrs. He to send her out with a sentence of "I don't want to talk more about my illness".

Mrs. Li was anxious, and asked a few maids and mothers-in-law in Pingcui Garden, and only later did she learn the reason from an aunt, the ancestors of the Xia family did not agree, and Mrs. He did not dare to go against her mother-in-law, and this family affair was hanging.

Mrs. Li was quite disappointed, but there was no way, she thought that this matter was over, and she didn't want to ask the ancestors to invite her as soon as she got out of Pingcui Garden.

But at this time, looking at Mama Gui's attitude, I am afraid that the old ancestor will know those rumors, and he will not be happy in his heart.

However, then again, "Kefu" is not a good reputation, which parent would not care.

Mrs. Li wanted to think about it, but she couldn't say that, so she could only squeeze out a smile and said, "Ancestor, a woman has the advantage of being old, and this money can be suppressed." That Miss Wang, she has nothing to say, her demeanor and demeanor, if you want me to say, many official ladies can't compare to her. ”

The old ancestor was extremely dissatisfied with Mrs. Li's evasion of the important and light, and glanced at her coldly: "If you want to say that the pro is a boy in the second room, and not a son in the long house, what do you want to do if you can hold down the money?" (To be continued......)
