Zhen Ying's words contain needles and knives, one said that You Shi only stayed in Beijing with the Seventh Master and did not come to serve Mrs. Ma all the year round, and the other said that You Shi set up in Yongzhou and reported to Beijing on personnel matters.

You Shi just wants to shout that she is wronged, even if she has this kind of thing in Yongzhou Anren, she really doesn't have the courage, the most important thing is that she doesn't have this ability. There is the Duan family in this Qingrong Hall, and the Zhou family is also strict in the other courtyards of the long house, where is the place where her little daughter-in-law, who is not favored, can stretch out her hand from the capital to insert a foot at will.

It's just that it's really hard to say this when you justify, there are too many people in the house, and one accidentally said the wrong thing, but it became darker and darker. You Shi hated it so much that he wanted to give Zhenying a beating, but Old Lady Ma was beside her, if she went to Zhenying, maybe Old Lady Ma would give her two crutches when she raised her hand.

After thinking about it, You Shi tossed and turned in his stomach in one breath, he was so stunned that he tightened his palm, pressed it hard, and finally shut up.

Asked the stepmother and daughter to go toe-for-tat, the atmosphere in the room was much duller, and Sister Yuan, who was playing with Brother Zhan, also noticed that something was wrong, she got up and looked at Sun timidly.

Sun glanced at her, and Sister Yuan understood, and threw herself into Mrs. Ma's arms with a smile: "Great-grandmother, hug." ”

Even if Mrs. Ma was unhappy, she didn't want to disappoint Sister Yuan'er, so she hugged her and teased her for a while, and then slowly stretched her eyebrows.

Zhen Xuan said a few words to Zhen Qi and Zhen Lin, and when she heard the news that Mrs. Li and Ji were coming, she hurriedly greeted her.

As soon as Mrs. Li entered the door, the ladies and ladies greeted themselves, and Zhen Ying got up and gave up the position next to Mrs. Ma.

Mrs. Ma beckoned to Mrs. Li. "Come on, come on." Six siblings with me. ”

Mrs. Li hadn't seen Zhenying for a long time. The anger in my heart has faded a lot with time, especially after Zhen Xuan got married, seeing that their husband and wife were harmonious, the past gradually let go.

On the day of Mrs. Ma's birthday, Mrs. Li didn't want to sweep everyone's interest, so she didn't face Zhen Ying with a black face, and asked Ji and Zhen Xuan to sit on the other half of the Luohan bed.

The two old ladies were gossiping, and the guests for the birthday came. Seeing the ceremony and recognizing relatives, it is not lively.

No matter how big the room was, it couldn't sit so many people for a while, so the female guests were led by the Cao family, and called the Sun family, the Ren family and a few young ladies to accompany them and went to the flower hall.

Zhen Ying and Zhen Xuan are aunts and grandmothers, and they are not familiar female guests, so they stay in the main house and do not go out.

Zhen Lin didn't go either, Zhen Xuan whispered to her and laughed: "Sister is afraid that they will stuff your daughter to give you a dowry?" ”

Zhen Lin's face turned red when she heard this. glared: "If it weren't for the elders here, I wouldn't have spared you." ”

Zhen Xuan smiled and fell on Zhen Lin. After taking a few deep breaths, he stopped laughing and said, "When I came, I saw a lot of carriages outside. ”

"There aren't many posts from mothers, and most of the ones you see may be there no posts to give gifts."

Zhen Xuan nodded, the Pei family can't and won't post a lot, those who give gifts will stay as long as they don't cross the rules of the gatehouse, and there are very few who can enter the door and kowtow to Mrs. Ma.

Mama Dai counted the hours and said, "Old lady, it's time for the banquet in half an hour." ”

Mrs. Ma half-squinted her eyes and said, "Sit down for a while, wait for the fourth brother and sister." ”

She didn't say anything later, and Mama Dai also knew that she was just waiting for Mrs. Jiang, and Mrs. Jia didn't like to come.

The curtain was raised, and Chen Yubao's family came in, smiling, and greeting the masters.

Seeing her joyful, Mrs. Ma quipped: "Your man is so busy in the front yard that his front feet don't touch his back feet, why are you still lazy?" ”

Chen Yubao's family flattered: "Old lady, where do slaves dare to be lazy." This is a happy event, and the slave and maid hurriedly came to report it to the old lady. ”

"Oh? What's the happy event? If you say well, you will be rewarded, and if you don't say well, ask the eldest daughter-in-law to punish you. ”

After Mrs. Ma finished speaking, the maids and ladies who were waiting in the house all laughed, urging Chen Yubao's family to speak quickly.

Chen Yubao's eyes rolled, pretending to be mysterious: "Old lady, guess who is coming." ”

"Yo Yo Yo!" Mrs. Ma pointed to Chen Yubao's house and scolded with a smile, "Is this still what I guessed?" Hurry up and say, the old woman is anxious. ”

Chen Yubao's family said with a smile: "It's the second wife of the Liu family who is here, and I'm almost at the entrance of the alley at this time, so I specially brought a few young ladies from the family to celebrate your birthday!" ”

"Old lady, what a happy event." Mama Dai responded and said.

Mrs. Ma was overjoyed, nodded her head, and asked, "Why don't you say anything about this?" Let's go see if you're in the door? Hurry in! ”

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, Mrs. Ma asked a few times, and only then did the crisp greetings of the maids come from the courtyard outside.

Mrs. Ma sat up straight, looked at the door, the curtain was raised, and a woman in a magnolia-colored ruyi skirt with a burnt horse face skirt came in with a smile, Zhen Xuan raised her eyes and saw that it was the second Mrs. Liu who had not seen her for several years.

"It's coming, my neck is long!" Old Lady Ma stroked her palms and smiled.

Three young ladies came in behind Mrs. Liu, two were of the same age, and the other was younger, with a cardamom appearance, and the three young ladies saluted with Mrs. Liu and stood quietly behind.

Zhen Ying, Zhen Lin and Zhen Xuan greeted Mrs. Liu.

Mrs. Liu sat down and said with a smile: "After four years, the two old ladies are in good health, and we are really happy to be the younger generations!" ”

"When I left, I said that I was going to come, and I asked my wife to wait for four years, I am so old, and there are still a few four years!" Old Mrs. Ma pretended to be dissatisfied, pursed her lips and glared at Mrs. Liu, "I really know how to pick a day, I really can't talk about you today." ”

Second Mrs. Liu hurriedly apologized: "Old lady, it's mine, it's not me, I will punish myself with three cups in a while to make amends to the old lady." ”

"Sixth brother and sister, can you hear it, if she plays Lai Ding for a while, she can't let her go, we won't get drunk and won't return!" Mrs. Ma laughed.

Old Mrs. Li smiled and waved her hand: "Where can she be fooled." ”

Mrs. Ma looked at the three young ladies fixedly, "These three girls ......"

Mrs. Liu Er brought the three young ladies to her and introduced: "How can I come alone to congratulate the old lady on such a big event, so I brought the three girls from the family." It's Jiuniang, Shiniang and Twelve Niang. ”

Zhen Xuan and Zhen Lin exchanged a look, and they both knew it in their hearts.

After the death of the eighth aunt of the Pei family, the Pei and Liu families still wanted to stay together as in-laws, and they were worried that Yongzhou and Yanling would be more stable if they could kiss each other.

Mrs. Ma also means this, the Liu family is a scholarly family, the family style is pure, and there are important ministers in the court, such a family is the best choice, whether it is married or married, it is reassuring.

Last time, I went to Yanling to marry another daughter from the Pei family, Zhen Ying hesitated again and again and finally did not nod, so she delayed, and Mrs. Liu brought three young ladies this time, since she came to the Pei family to marry the young lady, there were people among the three.

But I don't know which one......

This kind of thing is not good to talk to in front of children, Mrs. Ma looked at them one by one, Jiuniang is gentle, Shiniang is dignified, and Twelve Niang is delicate, each has its own strengths. After giving a meeting gift, Mrs. Ma said to Zhen Lin: "Four girls, you are cousins, take your three younger sisters to the garden for a walk." ”

Zhen Lin responded with a smile and invited the three young ladies of the Liu family to go out.

I don't know if I mind the past, Zhenying didn't sit for a long time, and said to Mrs. Ma and went out of the house.

Mrs. Liu Er and the others walked away, so she lowered her voice and explained to Mrs. Ma: "Actually, I should have come a long time ago. After I went back, I wanted to bring the four boys to let you have a look, but the third lady got married. I had the heart to bring a few girls here, but I heard that the sixth master joined the army, and you probably didn't have the heart to talk about these things, so you kept delaying. ”

Mrs. Ma sighed: "It's our Miss Pei family who is not blessed." ”

Mrs. Liu Er is also choked, she glanced at Zhen Xuan without looking for a margin, she only felt that her appearance and bearing were better than four years ago, this woman has changed eighteen times, and she is becoming more and more happy year by year, and now this newly married little woman is dressed up, and she looks satisfied.

She wanted to ask Zhen Xuan four years ago, but unfortunately she had already engaged someone, so the Liu family categorically had no reason to intervene, until half a year ago, she learned from Liu Yiwan that the prince of Yongliang who Zhen Ying married was Zhen Xuan's original family affair, and when she wanted to write a letter to ask, she learned that the emperor had given her marriage.

If she had known earlier, she would have come to ask for a kiss, Liu Siye's character and talent would be good, and she would not have wronged Miss Pei's family.

But thinking about it again, now Zhen Xuan is the grandson of the old lady Zheng, holding the holy decree in the sedan chair, and they can't give this honor to the Liu family.

"Marriage is destined!" It's useless to worry about what you miss, Second Mrs. Liu is more concerned about the future, she said with a smile, "How does the old lady think of our Jiuniang?" ”

Mrs. Ma raised her eyebrows: "It looks good." ”

Although Zhen Xuan was silent, she also listened attentively, as Mrs. Liu said just now, that Jiuniang is a concubine.

"The concubine in my next room gave birth to three boys in a row, and she wanted a girl wholeheartedly but couldn't, Jiuniang was born to her aunt, but she made her mother a baby, and she was raised in front of her, and the three boys born to her were not as favored as her." Mrs. Liu said, "Although she is pampered, she doesn't dare to neglect the rules and etiquette, Jiuniang's upbringing doesn't need to worry, and her conduct and conversation are not inferior to the sisters." ”

Mrs. Ma didn't say a word, waiting for Mrs. Liu to continue.

Zhen Xuan secretly thought that the Liu family introduced a young lady so straightforwardly, obviously they already had a suitable candidate in their hearts, and the one who could match Jiu Niang would be......

Before Zhen Xuan could think about it, she saw that Mrs. Liu Er stretched out her hand and compared a "four". (To be continued......)
