Xia Yiqing's work efficiency, a day's work, things will be figured out.

The family in Mrs. He's picture is surnamed Wang, living in the suburbs of the city, Miss Wang and the Zhen family used to be married, but just after exchanging Geng posts, the young master of the Zhen family suffered a serious illness, and it didn't take many days to disappear.

The Zhen family was overly sad, and took Miss Wang's eight characters and said that the person was already their Zhen family, and they wanted to force Miss Wang to be their sister-in-law.

The Wang family is such a girl, where is he willing to agree, and retorted, but he just changed the Geng post, and this kind of thing must be incompatible, and there is no Wending, where can it be regarded as the Zhen family

The two families quarreled so much that they all went to the government, and it was the grandmother of the Zhen family who slapped the board, and the Zhen family, who was so unlucky, threw Geng Ti on the face of the old man Wang outside the gate of the Wang family, and the matter was over.

Although the matter is over, Miss Wang was accused of Kefu, and no matchmaker refused to come to the door to propose marriage.

The Wang family has a good background, but it is a desperate household, so they want to find a foreigner to join them, but no one wants to do it after looking for a long time.

As a result, it was dragged to this age, and now, as long as someone is willing to marry Miss Wang as a wife, it is okay to lose all the family funds, anyway, the old lady of the Wang family has no son, rather than calling the relatives who can't beat the eight poles in the future, it is better to give it all to the daughter.

Hearing that Mrs. He wanted to pick such a family business, some people thought of the Wang family.

The matchmaker talked to Mrs. He, and when she heard such rumors as Kefu, Mrs. He was really a little taboo.

Generally, this kind of hard-nosed woman can not only restrain her husband, but also the whole family. The house is restless.

At that time, Mrs. He hesitated. Xia Suqing didn't have anything to do. But if there is something inappropriate, it will be difficult for the ancestor and the second lady to explain it to her, and what makes her even more concerned is the big family who lives in Pingcui Garden, and her own children and grandchildren can't be affected.

The matchmaker received a lot of money from the Wang family, where can she give it up, and introduced the Wang family's background in detail, not to mention the dowry of sixty or eighty lifts, and the Wang family's daughter. It is to be ten miles of red makeup, and the scenery is so beautiful that it is about to call the empty alleys of Yongzhou, and there is another wave of advocating "female juniors, hugging gold bricks".

Mrs. He squinted her eyes and pondered, sketching the wedding scene depicted by the matchmaker in her mind, where could she not be tempted, the timidity was left behind, and there was only the full cage in her eyes. It's just that she didn't agree in a bite, so as not to let the Wang family see it, and crawl to the mouth to grind the dowry with her. Plainclothes pretend to say that they want to add up again.

The matchmaker's eyes are sharp, and she knows that Mrs. He has basically passed this level. But after all, it is to marry a woman like Miss Wang, where can it be done by taking a trip, and immediately said that he would come back next time to listen to Mrs. He's instructions, and took the reward and went back happily.

When she married Xia Yaci, Mrs. He was arbitrary, and even the second old lady was half-concealed and half-coaxed, and made a big deal of family affairs, who expected that her in-laws were really not things, and she acted like that, so that she was recorded by her ancestors, and it was almost thirty years in a blink of an eye, and she still couldn't raise her head when she mentioned it, which was really bad.

This time it was to marry a granddaughter-in-law and enter the door, which was different from marrying a daughter, and Mrs. He didn't dare to make her own assertions anymore, so she went to mention it to her ancestors.

Of course, she was attentive, and only said that Miss Wang was twenty years old, had a rich dowry, and had a gentle temperament, and kept silent about the rumors of Nakfu.

The old ancestor and Mrs. He have been mother-in-law and daughter-in-law for half their lives, and they know her temper best, and after listening to it, they felt that it was inappropriate, and asked a few more carefully, and when they knew that it was the daughter of the Wang family on the outskirts of the city, they were immediately furious, and scolded and blew people out.

Mrs. He was taken aback, she thought that the old ancestor would not know about those sesame rotten grains, and the surname Wang was also a big surname, so she told the Wang family on the outskirts of the city, where did she know that the old ancestor had heard of that incident.

The old ancestor was angry, and the Zhen family and the Wang family made a lot of trouble in the city when they faced Bo Gongtang, and there were a few women in the inner house who didn't know about it. In the rumors, the daughter of the Wang family looks acceptable, and her conduct is not wrong, and the female relatives mention that they always feel pitiful and pity, and they are afraid that this life will be ruined like this, but if they want to ask which family to carry her back, this is gambling with the lives of their own children, and no one will agree.

The Xia family is not short of food and clothing, not to mention Yongzhou City, but in the entire imperial court, except for those official eunuchs and merchants, how many can compare to the Xia family's capital?

In order for his granddaughter-in-law to have a good-looking dowry, he actually wanted to marry a woman who was accused of Kefu and entered the door, how could he not make the ancestor angry when he acted like this.

When Zhen Xuan heard this, she couldn't help pursing her lips, glanced at the cage containing her dowry book, and said, "No matter how much dowry there is, it is also the daughter-in-law's, and the in-laws can't move anything." Just begging for a dowry to step on the day of the flower hall, the second uncle and grandmother are really ......"

Xia Yiqing took a sip of tea and didn't say much.

Seeing him deal like this, Zhen Xuan sighed in her heart, could it be that the old lady really did something to reach out to her daughter-in-law's dowry?

Zhen Xuan could only think about this in her heart for a while, and she couldn't ask Xia Yiqing directly, even if she asked, this kind of thing is related to the reputation of the elders, unlike other things, it is not easy to talk nonsense without evidence.

In the evening, when I went to listen to the dinner in the wind garden, Xia Yiqing told Mrs. Zheng and the Zheng family about the things she had inquired about.

Old Mrs. Zheng shook her head when she heard this, and sighed: "What's the matter with her!" Not to mention that the ancestor is angry, it is the soft temper of the sixth daughter-in-law, if she knows that her mother-in-law is so calculating her son, I am afraid that she will have to rush over and fight hard. ”

Zheng didn't respond, she understood that it was not easy for her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to get along, and it was better for Mrs. Zheng to be her own aunt, and Mrs. He's temper in Pingcui Garden, which daughter-in-law didn't shed her skin.

When she first got married, the Zhang family occasionally spit out some bitterness with the Zheng family, but as the resentment between the two old ladies deepened, the Zhang family was afraid that the old lady He would be dissatisfied, and secondly, her situation was not the same as the Zheng family, so she gradually mentioned it less.

Zheng comforted a few words at that time, and also moved out the words of her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law when she was at her mother's house, which mentioned that when her mother-in-law was older, her temper would be better. But judging from now, Mrs. He is a person who has great-grandchildren, and her temper is getting worse and worse year by year.

Old Lady Zheng seemed unwilling to mention Old Lady He more, waved her hand, and said, "Isn't she sick?" It doesn't matter if you are sick, lie down and stop for a few days, so as not to make the family unpeaceful. ”

The things in Pingcui Garden that are not easy to talk about on the table, in the next few days, Zhen Xuan still knows some things intermittently.

Chen's mother and Gao's mother are Zhen Xuan's roommates, and the servants rarely have to get close to them, and occasionally gossip about their masters.

An old servant said that when the Zhang family first entered the door, the forty dowry, and the old lady He borrowed a lot of names to ask the Zhang family to subsidize her dowry, and now, I am afraid that there are not many left. Zhang's temper was soft, and he didn't dare to conflict with his mother-in-law, so he admitted it.

Zhen Xuan was making a female celebrity, and she kept sewing and threading in her hands, and said: "The sixth uncle and aunt have little dowry, and the second uncle and grandmother can't get anything, and the sister-in-law is there, has she made up her mind again?" ”

Mother Gao smiled a little embarrassedly, these are really not a good thing, so that she is an irrelevant person who is panicked, and I don't know what the old lady thinks. She coughed a few times dryly, and said: "The eldest grandmother is the most gentle and courteous, and there are a lot of marriages, the slave maid heard that the second old lady mentioned it a few times, and the eldest grandmother didn't understand it, and she didn't squeak, and the second old lady was angry, but after inquiring, it seemed that the eldest grandmother's things were all taken away by the uncle, and the second old lady was not good at opening her mouth to the uncle, so she did it." ”

Zhen Xuan stopped what she was doing when she heard this, and thought of Xia Liqing, who opened her mouth to ask her ancestor for jewelry on the day she recognized her relatives, and thought that this was probably the case, but then she pondered it again, but she tasted something else.

In addition to the second room of the Xia family, there is also a business, although it is not as beautiful as Xia Yiqing's royal business, but there is no shortage of money. Xia Liqing has a loose hand, he doesn't need and doesn't seem to be the kind of person who will move his daughter-in-law to marry, the reason why he said such things is probably because their two in-laws are unwilling to ask Mrs. He to take something, so they made up such prevarications.

Zhen Xuan's impression of the Yang family is dignified and atmospheric, and he has always been considerate and meticulous to Xia Liqing, and he has never rebelled, and it should be Xia Liqing who came up with this idea.

Although I figured out some things in Pingcui Garden from these rumors, these things were not something that could be talked about, and Zhen Xuan didn't mention it again after listening to it.

Mrs. He lay down for seven or eight days before getting out of bed, and she didn't dare to delay, so she asked the Zhang family and the Chen family to help her go to the Eternal Residence, and kowtowed in front of the old ancestor to admit her mistake, and promised that the old ancestor would refuse the daughter of the Wang family, so she was forgiven by the old ancestor and told her to go back and rest.

Zhen Xuan has been rushing to embroider these days.

Embroidery is a delicate job, the more anxious, the more bad it is, Zhen Xuan knows this truth, thinking that time is running out, as soon as there is free time to embroider for a while, to now, it is half completed.

Bang Mo opened the curtain and came in, and said: "Grandma, Zhuangzi sent some lotus roots into the house early this morning, and the slave remembered to make osmanthus sugar lotus with the third lady, but do you want to go to the kitchen to get some?" ”

Yesterday, Zhen Xuan wanted to eat glutinous rice, and prepared some in the kitchen, and it was just soaked overnight.

When Zhen Xuan heard this, he said, "Take some more, and keep the stewed soup to drink." ”

Bang Mo went with joy.

After embroidering another section of thread, seeing that Zhen Xuan's neck was sore, Tao Aya persuaded: "Grandma take a break, why don't you go to the kitchen to see how Bangmo is doing?" ”

At this mention, Zhen Xuan became interested and went out of the house to the small kitchen.

By the stove, Gao's mother did it herself, the lotus root had been washed and peeled, and it was white and thick, and the hole was stuffed with soaked glutinous rice, and the two ends that had been removed before were covered with caps, and after being fixed, they were put into the dish, and the sugar osmanthus was added, and the basket was steamed.

The lotus root has to be steamed for more than half an hour, and there are surplus ingredients, Gao's mother discussed with Zhen Xuan, and it can also be pickled or fried to clear heat and nourish nature.

When the osmanthus sugar lotus root came out of the cage, the aroma was strong, which was delightful, and Zhen Xuan asked Xing Aya to pack some and send it to Xia Huqing. (To be continued......)
