Chapter 237: Birthday Celebration (3)

PS: Book friends have a happy weekend~~~~

Zhen Xuan was stunned.

This means that what the Liu family cares about is the fourth master!

If you think about it carefully, you can understand that no matter how good Jiuniang is, she is a concubine, even if she is an in-law, it is not good to have the cheekiness to open her mouth to match the concubine of the Pei family, and the concubine's Zhenxu is very suitable.

Zhen Xu did the same knowledge of Texas, the capital of Texas is Yanling, in order to gain a firm foothold, it is also necessary to have more contacts with the Liu family, the in-law Yanling family. I think it was because after Zhenxu arrived in office, the Liu family led the way, and he worked hard and made a result, so that the Liu family had an excellent impression of him.

Second Mrs. Liu was not pretentious, and said bluntly: "Old lady, our old lady said that although the fourth master is a concubine, he was born in the Pei family, and if there is another wife who can help him, he will definitely make a difference in the future." My Jiuniang is a good choice. ”

Mrs. Ma squinted her eyes, since Zhen Xu followed Zhen Che to the capital, she had not seen this nephew who had been separated from the room in the past few years. At the beginning, I was reluctant to call a good child to Mrs. Jia and couldn't get out, so I nodded and quietly sent Zhenxu out. Gold will always shine, and Zhen Xu's gold list is titled to seek an official position, just like Mrs. Liu said, with the Pei family here, and with the support of his wife and family, it is not difficult for Zhen Xu to be promoted steadily.

The marriage of the family, the right family, isn't what you want is to support each other and prosper together?

Second Mrs. Liu said it so bluntly, and Mrs. Ma did not hide her thoughts, and said: "Second daughter-in-law Liu, I told you when you came back that I can manage some of the family affairs of the girls in the family, and I can make it stronger." It's not necessarily easy to talk about the family's affairs. Especially...... Ay! My three siblings. It's really not a good talker. If you want me to say that. I am in favor of this family business, but Zhenxu is not only not a child of my long house, but also the grandson of my third brother and sister, I can't force it. ”

Second Mrs. Liu lived in Pei's house, and asked Liu Yiwan about it, and she knew how much the temper of that old lady Jia was, and when she heard Mrs. Ma's words, she sighed in her heart.

Suppress the concubines and grandchildren. Everyone in the family has heard of it, even if it is the head of the Liu family, they dare not say that there has never been such a thing, but the severity is different.

It is because the Liu family is a good family, so Mrs. Jia will not easily agree to ask Zhenxu to completely rely on the Liu family.

Mrs. Ma had her own ideas in her heart, and the Liu family showed favor several times, and the Pei family was unwilling to let go of this opportunity. If this family business can't be talked about anymore, how many boys and young ladies will be able to close it well? Turning her head and whispering a few words to Mrs. Li, Mrs. Ma said to Mrs. Liu: "You brought a few children this time, no matter how you say it, you will live for half a month." Don't worry, my six siblings and I. There are also several daughters-in-law who are pondering and pondering, and they must come up with a way. ”

Mrs. Liu nodded herself: "The marriage of children is a major event, and it is considered in the long run." ”

Zhen Jue helped Mrs. Jiang in, and Mrs. Liu stopped the topic and got up to say hello.

Mama Dai looked at the hour and said, "Old lady, it's time for the banquet." ”

Mrs. Ma raised her hand, asked Mama Dai and Jinhong to help, and said, "Let's go to the flower hall, if we go late, we have to drink a few more glasses." ”

Zhen Xuan stepped forward to help Mrs. Li.

When the group left the house, Mrs. Li whispered to Zhen Xuan, "What do you think?" ”

Zhen Xuan said honestly: "I think it's good, it's just the third uncle and grandmother's ......"

Mrs. Li snorted: "She has a lot of tricks!" ”

Such a true temperament made Zhen Xuan laugh.

The flower hall is very lively, the familiar wives and grandmothers are talking about family things together, the ladies are playing together, and when they see the main lord coming, they get up to greet each other.

The banquet for the male guests was set up in the front yard, and ten tables were prepared in the flower hall, and two tables were set up outside.

Mrs. Ma sat down, waved her hand and said to Mama Dai and Jinhong: "There are people here to serve, you go outside and sit down to drink." ”

Mama Dai pushed a few times, and asked a few little girls to go out and sit down, and the decent maids and women filled the two tables.

Zhen Xuan sat with Zhen Lin and Zhen Qi, and from time to time someone went to toast Mrs. Ma.

In the afternoon, the troupe was invited, and Mrs. Ma was drunk and sleepy, so she asked the juniors to order their own drama and not take care of her.

After serving Mrs. Ma and Mrs. Li, Zhen Xuan did not go to the play, but went to sit in Zhen Lin's house.

Even now that Zhenlin lives in Qingfutang, the former boudoir is still spotlessly cleaned, but those ornaments and playthings have been put away, empty, and less angry.

Seeing that the New Year is approaching day by day, and there is not much time, those cages that are stored in the warehouse have to be lifted out and rearranged to see which ones are packed and brought to the capital to be carried into the Seven Princes' Mansion, and which ones are left in Yongzhou.

When Zhen Xuan went in, Hua Lu and Hua Ji were cleaning up, Zhen Lin pulled Zhen Xuan to sit down, and said with a smile: "It's not tidy up yet, it's a little messy." ”

"It takes a lot of work." Zhen Xuan glanced at it, and the things in the open cage were familiar to her, all of them were Zhen Lin's former beloved.

Zhen Lin was curious and asked, "What did Second Mrs. Liu say before?" ”

Zhen Xuan saw that there were no outsiders in the house, so she suppressed her voice and told Zhen Lin what Mrs. Liu meant.

Zhen Lin frowned after hearing this, and said, "We all know that this family affair is good, but the third uncle and grandmother ......."

Mrs. Jia's stubborn temper is that Mrs. Ma and Mrs. Li are unwilling to deal with her more, and the affairs of her house are called Mrs. Jiang to say that it is "black smoke miasma", and several old ladies can't intervene even if they want to, not to mention that they are not willing to participate at all.

At the beginning, she sent Zhen Xu away and fell into Mrs. Jia's truth, and she secretly damaged Qingrongtang several times, which made Mrs. Ma angry.

The patriarch's wife of the Zhou family lost in the seniority, and it was not good to have a hard time with Mrs. Jia; Although Mrs. Ma is the eldest sister-in-law, she is separated from the room. If Mrs. Shao is still there, occupying the status of her sister-in-law and the prestige of the patriarch's wife, how can Mrs. Jia behave like this.

Then again, if it weren't for Mrs. Ma's pressure, Mrs. Jia wouldn't know what to do.

In this family, she can completely overpower Mrs. Jia and make her wonderful......

Zhen Xuan pondered, had an idea, and suddenly woke up, when she dealt with Su Manyue back then, it was because of the third old lady that Mrs. Jia was deflated, if the third old lady knew the meaning of the Liu family......

The third old lady is not a fool.

Zhen Xuan felt that this method was feasible, and bent the corners of her lips to Zhen Lin and said, "How is our tenth brother's homework?" ”

Zhen Lin didn't understand at first, she was stunned for a moment, and then thought about it and understood.

Mr. Chen, who studied in the Pei family, resigned because he was too old to teach students, and the children of the family were recommended by him to go to Sheng'an Study, except for Zhenhou. Mrs. Jia looked down on the academy outside, so she sent Empress Zhen to the Jia family's family study.

Zhende was naughty when he was young, but his homework was not bad, and his temperament was not much better than that of Zhende, and he had never been able to find a way in his studies, and he was inferior among his brothers.

The Jia family's style of study is not strict, and I am afraid that there will not be much improvement in the future homework.

The concubine Zhen Xu is very competitive, and the concubine is called Mrs. Jia who is not spoiled, if the third old lady knows......

Zhen Lin giggled and pointed at Zhen Xuan, and said, "You were a good one, but now you are also a bad belly!" ”

Hua Lu and Hua Ji also smiled, since returning home in the capital, Zhen Lin has rarely smiled like this, they have been serving Zhen Lin since childhood, and they are anxious and sad, but there is no way, now Zhen Lin finally has hope and can laugh.

Hualu put down the wooden box in her hand and said with a smile: "Miss is still the happiest when she is with Seventh Aunt and Grandma." ”

"Yes, the seventh sister is ...... with me" Zhen Lin said as she glanced at the wooden box, and suddenly her smile froze on her face, her words were in her throat, and the smile gradually faded, turning into a wisp of melancholy on her brow.

Hualu didn't know why Zhen Lin smiled so well, and then looked at the wooden box carefully, her face changed, and she cautiously stretched out her hand to take the box back.

Hua Ji naturally saw it clearly, and secretly complained in her heart, why is this box! She looked sloppy on the side and asked, "What did Miss tell Seventh Aunt and Grandma?" ”

Zhen Lin stood up, stretched out her hand and said, "Give it to me." ”

Hua Lu looked embarrassed and looked at Hua Ji, Hua Ji didn't know what to do, and looked at Zhen Xuan anxiously.

Zhen Xuan also recognized it at this time, the black sandalwood box was Zhen Lin's extremely precious thing in the past, the box was very ordinary, there was no carved and delicate texture, it looked inconspicuous, and what was contained there was a letter.

It was Cheng Zongyu's letter.

Zhen Xuan was about to persuade a few words, Zhen Lin shook her head to stop Zhen Xuan's words, and said to Hua Lu: "Give it to me." ”

Hua Lu pursed her lips, put the box in Zhen Lin's hand with red eyes, and stopped talking.

Zhen Lin didn't say a word, and went back to the inner room with the box.

Zhen Xuan lowered his eyes, Cheng Zongyu was a thorn in Zhen Lin's heart, and when he saw these things related to him, he would be confused for a while.

This is human nature, Zhen Xuan knows that Zhen Lin needs to be alone at this time, and she can cry bitterly when she reminisces, just like she turned out the peach blossom falling skirt that day, and the old memories were overflowing for a while, and her heart was so blocked that she couldn't speak.

Zhen Xuan didn't dare to leave, and stood outside the door with Hua Lu and Hua Ji, listening to the movement inside.

In the inner room, Zhen Lin opened the box.

The thick stack of letter paper, the ink fragrance has long faded, just like the marriage line that has long been broken, which makes people can't help but smile bitterly.

These letters Zhenlin have been collected very carefully, and the small things that Cheng Zongyu sent with him were also collected, a red maple leaf, a smooth stone, and felt the warmth of his fingertips when he stroked it, as if the temperature of the person's palm came along with his words and his gifts, and went up her fingertips and straight into the heart.

Now, only a piece of ice remains. (To be continued......)
