Gu Pingxin rolled his eyes, "The ambitions of the two old witches are big, and now, the people in the two rooms have climbed the high branches, and they can't be busy with their own affairs, where can they still think about fighting?" It's really going to fight, they hit not only each other's faces, but also the faces of each other's masters. The second prince and the third prince want to be face-saving, and they will not intensify the conflict at this time, and the people of the Qiao family dare not dare. ”

The regret on Gu Pingjie's face was even worse.

Gu Pingxin comforted: "However, the conflict between the Qiao family has been going on for a long time, and the two old witches are restless, they don't dare to fight on the surface, and they will still play yin in private, but the party who suffers the loss does not dare to shout, so they can only suffer dumb losses." If you want to have fun, you can make a fuss about it. ”

When Gu Pingjie heard this, he suddenly became interested, "Then I let people guard it, I don't believe that I can't catch clues." ”

Jingzhao Yin Mansion.

Zhang Xuan paced back and forth in the room irritably, and her delicate face couldn't hide her anxiety.

The little maid had never seen her young lady so anxious, and was affected by her master's emotions, and the little maid glanced out from time to time.

I don't know how many times this action has been repeated, and suddenly I saw a touch of tender yellow at the courtyard door, and before anyone arrived, the little maid shouted excitedly, "Miss, Sister Xing'er is back." ”

Zhang Xuan paused suddenly, and without even waiting for the little maid, she walked straight to the door.

The one who came in was also a maid, but she was a year or two older than the one in the house, and her dress was a little higher.

This person is the eldest girl next to Zhang Xuan, the second lady of Jingzhao Yin's mansion.

"Miss."

"Hurry in." Zhang Xuan couldn't wait to wave at Xing'er, and the little maid in the house closed the door alertly, standing by the door, listening to the people in the house while paying attention to the situation outside.

"Miss, the slaves and maids have inquired clearly, and Mrs. Dingguo did accept two aunts for General Gu." Before she had time to catch her breath, Xing'er spoke.

"Auntie, it's actually Auntie!" Zhang Xuan twisted her handkerchief and muttered unwillingly, "It's not a room, but I actually accepted my aunt directly!" ”

Xing'er knows her own young lady's thoughts, but whether it is Aunt Na or the house, it is all a matter of the Dingguo Marquis's Mansion, and the young lady can only hold back no matter how anxious she is.

"You go on!" No matter how bad the news is, Zhang Xuan took a deep breath and decided to listen to the news.

Xing'er continued: "Those two aunts, one is called Zhang Yueke, now called Aunt Yue, and the other is the daughter of the Shangjia family, and now Aunt Juan. ”

"Zhang Yueke?" Zhang Xuan repeated the name, and then sneered, "A concubine of an eight-rank official family is also qualified to enter the Hou Mansion?" Not to mention the other one, it's still a business girl! ”

Xing'er didn't dare to talk, the status of these two people is not high, even the identity of being the aunt of the Hou Mansion is not enough, but General Gu's identity in the Hou Mansion is embarrassing, even if he is a serious eldest son, he is not recognized by the Hou Mansion, and he is not recognized by the people in the circle, how easy is it to marry a wife who is the right person?

Thinking of this, Xing'er felt a pang in her heart.

Could it be that Miss also thought of this, so she said to General Gu......

Not daring to think about it, Xing'er hurriedly retracted her loose emotions, and then was interrupted several times, and said, "Those two people are now living in a side courtyard. ”

"Partial hospital? Didn't live in the Sycamore Pavilion? Zhang Xuan's expression suddenly brightened a little.

Xing'er shook her head, "Miss Hui, the slave asked very clearly, the two aunts have been living in the side courtyard." Before, Mrs. Dingguo Hou wanted to send them to Wutong Pavilion, but the mother-in-law guarding the door said that she would not let the two of them in, saying that Wutong Pavilion was General Gu's courtyard, and without General Gu's nod, she couldn't just let people go, even if Mrs. didn't want to. ”

"That's pretty much it." Zhang Xuan finally showed a little smile, thinking that when she had the opportunity in the future, she must reward the mother-in-law who guarded the door.

The gloomy mood was finally relieved a little, and when he spoke again, Zhang Xuan's tone was a lot happier, "General Gu is still in the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion?" ”

"Miss Hui, General Gu has been in the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion since he returned to Beijing, I haven't seen him go out these days, so he must still be there."

Zhang Xuan nodded with satisfaction, as long as Gu Jinzhen didn't return to the Dingguo Marquis's Mansion, so as not to be entangled by those two cheap hooves!

Thinking of this, Zhang Xuan's originally sunny mood was cloudy again, and she frowned and said, "Mrs. Dingguo has been out for a few days?" Where did they go? ”

"Miss Hui, Mrs. Dingguohou hasn't gone out to socialize during this time, I heard that Mrs. Dingguohou has been worrying about General Gu's family affairs."

Zhang Xuan naturally knew that in the circle, Mrs. Dingguo Hou had already let go out.

Although her family background is not good, she can't reach the aristocratic circle in the capital, but she inquired clearly through various channels, and the people in the circle can hide from this matter, and they can avoid it, but they don't respond positively, after all, just like Xing'er said, Gu Jinzhen's identity is not recognized by the Dingguo Marquis Mansion, and it is not easy to admit it even with the people in the circle.

Whoever offends is not willing to offend the prince of Dingguo.

In particular, in recent years, the saint has a lot of emphasis on the marquis of Dingguo.

Xing'er hesitated for a moment, but still said: "Miss, on the way back, the slave maid learned that Mrs. Dingguohou is going to hold a birthday banquet and invite the ladies and young ladies of the major families. ”

Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up!

At this time, the birthday banquet was held, and the wives and young ladies of the major families were specially invited, wasn't it just to show Gu Jinzhen in disguise?

In the previous autumn banquet, she was not qualified to participate, and she was worried that the Feng family would give Gu Jin Zhenzhong a wife at the banquet, and waited for the news over there with trepidation, until she was sure that the Feng family had not decided on a candidate, and she was relieved.

This Feng's birthday banquet is going to be decided.

Even if the people in the circle want to avoid this matter, they will not fail to attend the Feng family's birthday banquet, if the Feng family has a crush on someone at the banquet......

Zhang Xuan is not worried that the Feng family will look at the top family, they are all people in the circle, the Feng family can't do anything to buy and sell, let alone know what Gu Jinzhen's situation is, and marry him a wife who is the right person to enter the door.

What if Gu Jinzhen borrows the power of his wife's maiden family and gets the position of the son?

Moreover, the high-ranking family will not put the bet on Gu Jinzhen.

Therefore, the family background of the person selected by the Feng family will not be very high.

That is, she has a chance!

With a stir in her heart, Zhang Xuan couldn't sit still, "Is your news reliable?" ”

"Miss Hui, the slave maid listened to the mother-in-law in charge of kitchen procurement in the Dingguo Marquis' Mansion."

In order to get in touch with her mother-in-law, she put a lot of effort into it.

Zhang Xuan nodded secretly, the mother-in-law in charge of kitchen procurement is the most well-informed, because once a banquet is to be held, the first thing to make arrangements and preparations is the kitchen.

In short, no matter whether the Feng family is sincere about celebrating her birthday or taking the opportunity to show Gu Jinzhen, the Dingguo Marquis Mansion is going to hold a banquet, and she can take the opportunity to sell it in front of the Feng family.

Merely......

As if thinking of something, Zhang Xuan said to Xing'er: "Madame, but in the front yard?" ”

Xing'er was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the "madam" Zhang Xuan said meant the lady in the house, and nodded hurriedly: "Miss Hui, when the slave came back, Mrs. was tidying up the master's study in the front yard. ”

This is the interest of Jing Zhaoyin and his wife, it stands to reason that women can't go into the study, but the master's study has always been sorted out by Mrs. Every morning, Mrs. will go to the study in the front yard, and it has been the same for decades.

Zhang Xuan nodded, "After Madam returns to the inner courtyard, you tell me." ”

After she rearranged the makeup on her face, Yang also returned to the inner courtyard, and Zhang Xuan took the maid over.

Yang was looking at the account book, and when he saw Zhang Xuan coming, he hurriedly beckoned to her, "Sister Xuan came just in time, come, help my mother sort out the account books." ”

Yang asked Zhang Xuan to follow her to learn the inner courtyard chores very early, these are one of the lessons that girls in the boudoir must learn, and when they marry in the future, whether they are taking care of their own dowry or husband's housework, they will not be cheated by.

Women are like this, in the courtyard where men are the sky, the silver in the hand is the most important thing.

Zhang Xuan walked to the table, glanced at the account book on the table casually, and sat down beside Yang.

With her joining, the speed of the mother and daughter was very fast, but in half an hour, they finished checking the account books on Jingzhao Yin's mansion and Zhuangzi, and Yang explained a few more words to the steward before saying to Zhang Xuan: "You are very good at handling these account books, more skilled than me, mother, you can be regarded as relieved." ”

Speaking of his daughter, Yang looked proud.

Whether it is appearance or ability, she is one of the best in the circle, if it weren't for the master's official position not enough, such a good daughter would be able to marry into a famous family.

Thinking of this, Yang sighed, "If your father's official position is higher, your family affairs can be better, your ability and intelligence are not inferior to the concubines of the family, after all, it is the 'family background' that affects you." ”

"Mother, you are arrogant in what you say," Zhang Xuan comforted, "You also said that your daughter's intelligence and ability are there, and you are afraid that the future family affairs will not be smooth?" ”

Yang sighed, "In the end, our background is a little worse, and there is less room for choice." ”

Yang is very confident in his daughter and has great expectations.

Just like now, she has been secretly looking at each other, and many people have inquired about Sister Xuan'er's situation, but the other party's portal is still a little worse in her opinion. Although she is also a good match with Jing Zhaoyin's Mansion, she is bent on letting her daughter marry into a real famous family and a real aristocratic circle in the capital, after all, her daughter has this confidence.

"Mother, in fact, my daughter is here today because I have something to discuss with you." Zhang Xuan directly stated the purpose.

"What's the matter?"

"In a few days, the birthday banquet of the lady of the Dingguo Marquis's Mansion, my daughter wants to go."

"Mrs. Dingguo?" Yang was stunned, "The birthday banquet of Mrs. Dingguo Marquis, I'm afraid it's ......"

Yang is also a shrewd person, and he thought of the key at once, and couldn't help frowning.

The threshold for Dingguohou is high enough, but Gu Jinzhen is not recognized by the people in the circle, and if his daughter marries him, she will also be excluded by the people in the circle.

That wasn't her intention.
