(135) Five sisters-in-law's family affairs

The men didn't watch the dance at all, and when they heard Yun Xiangrong applauding, they knew that the performance was over, and clapped their hands politely. Very perfunctory.

The next performance was arranged for acrobatics, Qu Xiaomin saw that today's audience could only be Yun Xiangrong alone, so he walked to Yun Xiangrong's table and asked, "Third sister, do you want to see dance or acrobatics." ”

"Dance." Yun Xiangrong said firmly.

Qu Xiaomin had arranged seven different programs before, and it was no problem for Yun Xiangrong to watch the dance, but he had to prepare again, the dancer had to change her clothes, and the musician had to change the score. It will take some time, and now the fourth wine and food will be served together.

Originally, everyone ate at their own small tables.

But at this moment, it has obviously been divided into two waves of eating, and the four people over there don't know what they're talking about, anyway, it looks quite lively, and the second prince also put the two tables together, and the four of them eat and drink at one table.

Here, Yun Xiangrong and Qu Xiaomin raised their glasses first, drank first, and then ate vegetables according to etiquette.

It's always a little embarrassing to have no show, Yun Xiangrong found the topic first: "Second sister-in-law, the second brother is rumored to be elegant and elegant in the capital, and he is very exquisite, and the dance in the house is indeed worthy of its reputation, but he doesn't watch it, is this to take care of other people's emotions?" From what I know about Master, Qingchen and Haihua, they are not interested in dancing, so it will be more attractive to come to a polo game. ”

"It's okay, at least I arranged the show today, and he didn't object, it's already very face-saving." Qu Xiaomin said.

"Second brother doing these are all face-saving projects? Don't like it yourself? Yun Xiangrong said.

The small table between the two was a little far away, and they were a little tired from talking, so Qu Xiaomin took the initiative to sit at Yun Xiangrong's table.

"No, he's only interested in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, these dancers are all selected by me, and the dances he learns are also what I like." Qu Xiaomin said bluntly.

"But the outside world says that the second brother loves beauty very much, why don't you clarify it?" Yun Xiangrong said.

"There's no need, and Sunny Hyuk likes this protective color." Qu Xiaomin said.

"I said, why are the maids in your house so good-looking, it turns out that they are all the eyes of the second sister-in-law." Yun Xiangrong said.

"Yes, you can't always change it every day, of course you have to pick a good one." Qu Xiaomin said.

"Second sister-in-law, let me ask quietly, aren't you worried about so many warblers and swallows? The second brother has no idea, but it doesn't mean that the maids don't want to, and it's very annoying to deal with this kind of thing. Yun Xiangrong said.

"Third sister, do you know? The fifth princess is not pregnant yet, but the fifth brother has made a maid's belly bigger. As far as I know, the good-looking maids in their house have been cleaned out a long time ago, but this is still an accident. Qu Xiaomin said.

Qu Xiaomin had already seen that Yun Xiangrong was a smart girl, and she wanted to say a few words.

"I can't complain that the fifth sister-in-law has been so angry recently, and it doesn't go well inside and outside." Yun Xiangrong said.

"This kind of thing is impossible to prevent, the key problem is in the man, Xu He has too many things, he basically goes out early and returns late every day, how can he have time to care about the maid, and everyone in the capital knows that when I married into the door, Xu He promised not to marry the side concubine. Those who have been in the house for a long time know that my husband's pocket money is not worth dedicating. If you want to make money, it's better to please me directly, and it's convenient to come. Qu Xiaomin said.

"Oh, didn't the fifth sister-in-law control the money in the house?" Yun Xiangrong said.

"Third sister, the fifth sister-in-law didn't offend me, I shouldn't have gossiped about him in private, but you are already a royal person, and you have to know a lot of things, although the fifth sister-in-law is the granddaughter of the Taishi, but her mother is not from a high background, and the skills of the housekeeper she taught her are really a trick of a small family, and the fifth brother usually has nothing to do, and he stays at home for too long. There will always be some opportunities for maids who want to climb high branches. Qu Xiaomin said.

"Taishi is a first-class official, why do you have some requirements for your son's family affairs?" Yun Xiangrong said.

"The Taishi can only see the in-laws, and he has no chance to see his mother-in-law, his in-laws, Yu Shao'an, Lord Yu, was the Tanhualang of the year, at that time, the Taishi was not the Taishi, and the family affairs were decided very early, but Tanhualang has not been promoted for so many years, and it is still the imperial history of the Yushitai, you said that the fifth sister-in-law was even wrong about the official position that day, it is estimated that she thought that Meng Weixuan and her grandfather were at the same level, but she didn't expect it to be one level higher." Qu Xiaomin said.

"I don't really want to be like that about that day, but I really don't want to be entangled with my fifth sister-in-law anymore, even if she targets me in the future, I shouldn't say it directly." Yun Xiangrong said.

"The fifth sister-in-law doesn't have so many twists and turns, you don't know, after she returned to the capital that day, she went directly to her parents' house without returning home, crying and complaining." Qu Xiaomin said.

"Why is that?" Yun Xiangrong asked.

"She blames her mother for not teaching herself well since she was a child, the housekeeper is not good at managing it, she doesn't understand things outside, she can't do piano, poetry, calligraphy and painting, and none of them are said to be in the past." Qu Xiaomin said.

"I think she's pretty clear about this." Yun Xiangrong said.

"This is actually not to blame her mother, although her grandfather is a Tanhua Lang, but the concubine, the marriage is set by the housewife, I found a daughter of a small family, I didn't expect her grandfather to be able to Tanhua a few years later, and the marriage is like this, Lord Yu attaches great importance to affection, there is no idea of harmony and separation, and the relationship between husband and wife has been good. If she really wants to be investigated, her mother is also a victim. Her grandmother didn't understand anything, and her mother was self-taught in many things. Qu Xiaomin said.

"It's terrible, one marriage affects three generations of children." Yun Xiangrong said with emotion.

"Do you know why the fifth sister-in-law is targeting you?" Qu Xiaomin asked.

"Well, I don't know." Yun Xiangrong originally wanted to say that it was Cai Jintong's reason, but looking at Qu Xiaomin's expression, it shouldn't be the matter.

"Do you know that Wankelou has a franchise certificate?" Qu Xiaomin asked.

Of course, Yun Xiangrong knew that she didn't know much about the extent of the people in the capital who loved wine before, but after reading the bill of Wankelou, she knew that more than 3,000 foot shops in the capital would go to Wankelou to drink.

The Western Liang Kingdom has clear regulations on wine, salt, tea, and iron.

The main store is regarded as obtaining the qualification of the imperial court, paying taxes to the imperial court, buying the qu and making its own wine, and the foot shop does not have the qualification of making wine, so it can only go to the main store to sell the wine. However, it can be sold as rice wine without koji.

"I know, the best seller is Meishou, and the will." Yun Xiangrong said.

"The fifth sister-in-law's grandmother's family opened a tavern in the capital, but the foot shop has no liquor making qualifications, so he brews moonshine in order to make money, he sells it mixed, and Meishou who goes to Wanke Lou mixes his own moonshine." Qu Xiaomin said.

"He is breaking the law like this, the court regulates alcohol, just for taxes, so knowingly committing a crime, according to the "Xiliang Laws", well, the punishment is very heavy." Yun Xiangrong said.

Yun Xiangrong's instinct was to memorize the "Xiliang Statute". But I felt that it was too ostentatious, so I selectively brought it.

"Yes, but this matter is not easy to investigate, who do you say will go to a store to see how much wine he buys every day and how much he sells, just because there are guests who go to Wankelou to make trouble, saying that they spend a high price to buy Meishou to drink, and the result is not right, and I suspect that Wankelou's craftsmanship is perfunctory and shoddy. Of course, Xi'an would not let others slander Wankelou like this, so he reported it to the official directly. Qu Xiaomin said.

"Then this matter must be investigated in detail, after all, it also endangers the interests of the imperial court." Yun Xiangrong said.

"That's right, as a result, Jingzhao Mansion found out about the illegal liquor brewing in the foot shop, and the shopkeeper was wanted, but before he escaped from the capital, he was caught by the people guarding the Nine Gates of the Admiral's Mansion. Sent to Jingzhao Mansion. It is estimated that the three horses don't know about this, but catch someone who violates the law, this kind of thing is done every day in the Nine Gates Admiral's Mansion. The fifth sister-in-law's grandmother's family felt that Changping Houfu was targeting them. One reported to the official, and the other arrested people. Qu Xiaomin said.

"I took it, but I didn't understand it by this time, did they break the law themselves? The fifth sister-in-law won't be this realization, right? Yun Xiangrong said.

"Probably not, the fifth sister-in-law may just think that Xi'an should not report to the official. The Jiumen Admiral's Mansion arrested people too quickly, and originally wanted the five princes to go to the emperor to ask for favors, but the favors did not arrive, and the trial results came out. Qu Xiaomin said.

"This kind of thing is going to my father, and my father won't give face to the fifth brother, if you don't do it, you have to take the fifth brother under the knife, and they all come to intercede, where is the law?" Yun Xiangrong said

"Yes." Qu Xiaomin said

"Second sister-in-law, thank you today, I will never say anything to my fifth sister-in-law in the future, her thinking is too terrible, I think it's good to let her live in her own world." Yun Xiangrong said.

"The third sister, in fact, is not, the fifth sister-in-law may be the daughter-in-law with the strongest royal human touch. I'll tell you anything today, but when you go out of this door, we'll be like strangers, and someone will target you, and I won't help you openly, but I will tell you secretly. The fifth sister-in-law is not, if she wants to help you, she will help you fearlessly. Even if you have quarreled, she will still be on your side if you have difficulties. Qu Xiaomin said.

"Second sister-in-law, I like your way of helping people, the fifth sister-in-law is a good person, but the number of cards is different from everyone, I'm a little afraid, it's better to have less contact, by the way, how do you know so many things about her?" Yun Xiangrong asked.

"A grandmother in her mother's house and my nurse are fellow villagers, and the two have a good relationship, so they can say anything." Qu Xiaomin said.

"Second sister-in-law, I think you should know about Cai Jintong." Yun Xiangrong said.

Yun Xiangrong felt that Qu Xiaomin belonged to a character who had become a fine man in the royal family, so he wanted to hear his opinion.

"Are you talking about her hunger strike? It's been a long time ago, and in a few days it will be the final competition of Wu Zhuangyuan, there are two people who are hot this year, Ge Hongtao, Ding Renrun, do you know them all? Qu Xiaomin said.

"The last time Ge Hongtao was on the way to the princess's mansion, I met once, saying that he just won the Jinshi this year, Ding Renrun? I don't know. Yun Xiangrong said.

"I thought you only knew Ding Renrun, but he was a direct relative of the Fuguo Mansion. Fu Guogong was his own uncle. Qu Xiaomin said.

"Oh, Cai Jintong won't like Ge Hongtao, right?" Yun Xiangrong asked.

Yun Xiangrong said that the marriage of the fourth princess was so difficult, and as soon as an excellent person came out, someone would rob her immediately.

"No, what she likes is Ding Renrun. You haven't seen him, objectively speaking, Ding Renrun is quite handsome, the marriage is not engaged, it is estimated that the family is waiting for the result of this Wu Zhuangyuan. Qu Xiaomin said.

Yun Xiang Rongxin said thank God.

"Will this be crying again?" Yun Xiangrong said.

"No, it was said that the two of them were quite satisfied, so they waited for the end of the Wu Zhuangyuan competition, and then went directly to the door to propose." Qu Xiaomin said.
