In the seemingly serious officialdom, gossip is by no means just the preserve of post-house women. Otherwise, in the various notebook novels of all dynasties, there would not be so much gossip about officials, their wives and children.

Therefore, after discovering that Wang Fulin's wife Ye was actually the concubine of Ye in Yin County, Ningbo, there were immediately many officials discussing and inquiring behind their backs. Wang Fulin was even rejoicing, fortunately, Ye Cannon had already gone to Jiangxi to be the deputy envoy of Tixue, and Mrs. Su also followed him, otherwise Ye Cannon would definitely roar in the household department, and Mrs. Su might give those nonsense guys a little color in silence. Not only that, Xu Guo, who is another in-law of the Ye family, also went to Nanjing to be the prince of the country, and it can be said that he is the only one among the many parties.

For Wang Fulin, this is undoubtedly a good opportunity to control the affected area in his own home.

Therefore, on this day, when Xu Yao hurriedly passed through the house and circled for a long time, only then did he say some of the rumors he heard, and some unspeakable kind-hearted reminders of this matter, he deliberately avoided it and left the space to Xiaobei and Xu Yao, two close friends. So, when he turned back and heard Xu Yao say goodbye at the door and said that he was going home, he saw the always shy Miss Xu, the grandmother of the Cheng family was full of anger when she went out, so angry that her face was a little red, and she thought that the two were quarreling, and asked Xiaobei, so she laughed dumbly.

Xu Yao, who has always been gentle and gentle, was angry with He Dongxu and Hu Zongxian's son Hu Songqi after hearing about the tragic changes in the Hu family in the past!

Among those who know other than his own family, Wang Xijue is gone, and Zhang Juzheng's identity is naturally impossible to mention to others, but Wang Zhu is different. Since Wang Fulin regarded him as an elder who could be trusted and trusted, and told him about the matter, and found that rumors began to circulate outside, Wang Zhen simply made this matter clear to his wife Jiang Shi, who had always regarded Xiaobei as his junior.

Although Mrs. Jiang is not sociable, her husband is now a celebrity in front of Zhang Ju, even if she does not entertain others at home, others will often send her invitations. Therefore, when He Yuwen's home sent a post on this day, even though she didn't go out much on weekdays, she promised to take her daughter-in-law, the taciturn Zhou, to the banquet for the first time.

When she and Zhou arrived, they couldn't help but be overjoyed when they saw Xiaobei and Xu Yao also coming together, and beckoned the two to come to them and said with a smile: "You two haven't been to my house for a few days." Jinhua went to Liaodong, Shiqing has been busy working in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and there are no elders in your family, so if you have nothing to do, wouldn't it be better to sit at my place than to sit at home? ”

Xu Yao also likes the quiet environment on Mrs. Jiang's side, compared to the He family, where there are mostly female dependents of various Hanlin families, the Wang family, which has a small population and fewer guests, is indeed much more comfortable for her. Therefore, as soon as Mrs. Jiang said it, she apologized repeatedly, but Xiaobei said with a smile: "Xianggong has often bothered Shaozai, if I go again, wouldn't it be more said that I love to visit and make friends?" ”

Mrs. Jiang was prepared, but when she heard this, her brows furrowed, and her sharp eyes suddenly swept around the room. Although she doesn't often come out to socialize, she can't stand the servants of Wang Seal's official residence, except for the cabinet elders, the six Shangshu, and the left capital of the Imperial Palace, she is the biggest official, at least the husbands of all the women present are stunned, therefore, she made such an attitude of defending Xiaobei, just when Xiaobei and Xu Yao came together, the two women who were the most sneering suddenly turned heavy.

Their husbands are all reviewed by the Shu Jishi Pavilion, and the review and promotion of the editor, although it is one term earlier than Wang Fulin, it sounds like a promising Hanlin. But everyone knows that the Hanlin Academy has accumulated so many people one by one, and to break through from it, knowledge, qualifications, connections, and conduct are all indispensable, and sometimes they are not as good as the top celebrities in the science and road. For example, Wang Fulin, who is deeply trusted by Shoufu, is much stronger than their husbands, so when Xiaobei appeared in He Mansion before, they were often the stars and the moon, and they could only watch it in the past, but today they naturally took advantage of the outside news to save a little face.

Therefore, when Madame Chiang said this, one of the women in her thirty-seven or eighteen forced a laugh: "We are just talking about jokes." Men have important affairs to be busy with in the court, so don't we just have to walk around, otherwise we will suffocate at home all day? ”

There was one who hurriedly cleared up, and there was a second one who diverted the topic, even if the women who were just cold bystanders before and did not mix in the cynicism, they had to work around one by one, trying to divert Mrs. Jiang's attention from Xiaobei. However, Mrs. Jiang today was originally because of Wang Zhang's words, so it was rare for her to go out to participate in such a communication, and she raised her eyebrows and wanted to ridicule her. But at this moment, she noticed that someone gently pulled her sleeve, and when she looked sideways, she saw that Xiaobei was smiling at her, and there was not much unhappiness on her face.

So, her heart moved, and then she said: "The Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15 is coming, and there are four people in my family, and there is no atmosphere for the festival." It's that you and A-Yao live next to each other, and you always celebrate the festival together. If you don't mind, I'll tell the master, how about the family went to the Mid-Autumn Festival with you? ”

Xu Yao didn't expect Mrs. Jiang to set up a Mid-Autumn Festival banquet with them at someone else's house, and she was a little surprised, but she didn't forget to look at Xiaobei first. Seeing him nod, she said happily, "That's great." Xiaobei and I originally only wanted to set up a table under the grape trellis in the back garden, and felt that there were few people, after all, Xianggong didn't know if he could come back from Liaodong, and Wang Gongzi didn't know whether to stay in the Duchayuan for the night. ”

"Yo, such a lively thing, can you take me one?"

Because this was a conversation and laughter between Madame Jiang, Xiaobei and Xu Yao, although the others had different faces, they didn't dare to rush to come up - after all, Madame Jiang's cold and protective attitude before had made those who had some thoughts after listening to the rumors temporarily stop. At this moment, when it was discovered that it was He Luowen's wife Gao, who was the owner today, the room was silent all of a sudden, and even the people who were whispering before were quiet.

Mrs. Jiang was suddenly surprised: "Mrs. Gao, your family has a large population, is it possible that you will feel like me that there are few people and lonely?" ”

"It's not because Grandma Wang and Grandma Cheng have come to my house several times, but I haven't come to visit the door yet, and today I just caught up with Mrs. Jiang when you mentioned it first." Husband He Yuwen has a lot of face in front of Zhang Juzheng, and once gave Zhang Sixiu guidance to Shi Wen, and now he is the master of the Hanlin Academy, and the biggest competitor Chen Jingbang is worrying, Xu Guo has gone to Nanjing Guozijian to serve as a sacrificial wine, and the long-sleeved and dancing Gao family certainly knows how to treat Xiaobei and Xu Yao. No matter how strong the rumors are, as long as she doesn't hear anything from Zhang Juzheng's side for a day, she will definitely not act rashly.

At this time, seeing that Xiaobei seemed to be a little hesitant, but obviously did not mean to refuse immediately, she struck while the iron was hot and said: "If you think there is any difficulty in holding a Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, I have three daughters-in-law, you pick two to help, and the storage is properly organized." ”

Hearing Gao's words on this, Xiaobei, who was still a little hesitant, immediately made up his mind, because he smiled and said: "Madame is willing to appreciate her face, of course Sister Xu and I are too late to be happy." Where do you need the help of your sisters-in-law, everyone in the family has it, just bring someone with you. ”

Not only Mrs. Jiang went, but Gao also went, and while the other women looked at each other, some people couldn't help but feel jealous, but they said on the side: "Grandma Wang, although it is only a small banquet, there are many people, and all kinds of preparations are not a joke. Multiple helpers can always pick up the gaps, and if you don't mind, I can give them a shot. ”

"Me too, when I'm at home, I often have spring feasts."

"If Grandma Wang agrees, I'll also go and do a favor?"

Seeing all kinds of voices coming and going, most people didn't really want to join in the fun, but faintly revealed their identities there, but they were afraid that they didn't know how to organize this kind of banquet, Xiaobei couldn't help but be angry in his heart, and his face became not salty or light. After a long time, she coughed and said with a smile: "Mid-Autumn Festival reunion night, although it is not the main festival of the holiday given by the court officials, most of the yamen will disperse early, you are scrambling to join in the fun, what can the rest of the family do?" If it spreads out, in order to help my family hold this small Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, but I can't even take care of my own reunion, what will others say? ”

After suppressing those voices who were afraid that the world would not be chaotic, Xiao Beibei continued: "Besides, since everyone is already worried that my banquet is not thoughtful and inappropriate, all of them are pouring in at once, doesn't it make me even more hurried?" When this Mid-Autumn Festival banquet is done, the next time the Double Ninth Festival, if you want to come, I will personally invite you. ”

Even the shy Xu Yao couldn't help but laugh out loud when she heard the last sentence. What day was that Double Ninth Festival? Appreciate chrysanthemums, dogwoods, and climb high places, but there is a good color in this festival, that is, longevity. At present, most of these women are in their early thirties and forties, and if they want to live a long life, don't they feel that they are old?

Xiaobei just didn't want to receive these guests with naked malice, and Mrs. Jiang didn't want to have a bad holiday, so she immediately echoed: "This is good, this is good." After this Mid-Autumn Festival, if you still have fun, it's not too late to hold the next Double Ninth Banquet. ”

Mrs. Gao purely wanted to take this opportunity to get closer to Wang Fulin, and at this time, she didn't want to bring such idlers with her for the first time, so she said with a smile: "That's right, it's just that the Mid-Autumn Festival wants to enjoy the moon, and a dinner party is more suitable than a luncheon, but then you have to take into account the night ban." Speaking of which, Wang Shiyu has won the trust of Chen Zongxian in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, do you want to give Mrs. Chen Zongxian the next post? ”

"Mrs. Liang's children and grandchildren are full, this great Mid-Autumn Festival still doesn't disturb their interest in the festival." Xiaobei didn't agree to Mrs. Gao's words, and after prevaricating, she said with a smile, "Then the matter is settled, so four tables inside and outside are enough, and Mrs. is waiting to pick up the post I will send at that time." ”

A good party hosted by the He family, coming and going, but finalizing the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet of the Wang family, for most of the women who went to the appointment today, not only was it boring, but also felt very angry. Especially those women who only think that Xiaobei's luck is too good, but as a concubine, they married a wishful golden beetle son-in-law, and they are even more dissatisfied with her "high-spiritedness". So, when Xiaobei and Xu Yao were the first to say goodbye to Mrs. Jiang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and left, all kinds of voices never stopped, and even more outrageous people talked about the rumors that Wang Fulin and Xiaobei had received each other privately.

Gao was only frowning, but when she heard from her subordinates that her husband He Yuwen came back early today, her heart moved, so she called a mother and asked her to tell her about the Mid-Autumn Festival. After a while, the mother hurried back and whispered a few words in her ear. After hearing this, when she looked at the room full of guests, her face lost her previous good voice.

"I say everyone, the rumors in the streets and alleys outside are just the nonsense of people who have nothing to do, and most of the men in your family are Hanlin, and they can't learn from those mothers-in-law who chew their tongues, and take something as if it's true. Fortunately, Grandma Wang didn't care about it just now, otherwise my master would be ashamed! ”

Seeing that the Gao family was a little angry, the seven or eight people in the room were suddenly silent. But after a long time, some people couldn't help but say: "After all, the rumors say that although Grandma Wang and Grandma Xu are sisters, they are not from the Ye family, so everyone is inevitably curious." Besides, the Wang family's hometown is in Huizhou, and she has just given birth to a child, but she left her in-laws and children to go to Beijing, God knows if she is ...... with her family."

"What's so strange about this kind of thing? The old man used to be good friends with Bachelor Xu, and Grandma Xu is the sister of Grandma Wang, and I went to Xu's house several times, and I heard Mrs. Xu say that the two sisters are deeply affectionate, and they think about each other when they have any good things. People are as good as a person, what do outsiders have to say? As for what you said about Grandma Wang's in-laws, oh, don't forget, her sister-in-law is still living in her house, and she has taken people to the house of Wang Shilang of the Ministry of Rites before. ”

Speaking of this in a few words, Gao Shi glared at the woman who spoke, and his face showed a little ridicule: "There is the idle time to take care of the affairs of the family's house, it is better to take care of the man who takes care of himself and be an official."

Fortunately, her husband He Yuwen not only agreed to the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet when he heard about it, but also asked someone to give him a message, saying that Zhang Juzheng was very unhappy with the rumors outside, and today he directly scolded a long-tongued woman in front of him!
