Xinyue was a little embarrassed, and so were all the people at the scene, she looked around and found that even Old Madam Zhuang was waiting for Xinyue to answer this question.

Xinyue picked up the handkerchief, wiped the corners of her mouth, then raised her head to reveal her full forehead, and looked at Old Madam Li, "What does the old lady think?" ”

"It's because I can't guess that I'm asking you." Old Madam Li's face was as usual, she reached out to pick up the teacup, and drank it slowly, as if waiting for Xinyue's answer.

Xinyue glanced at Old Madam Zhuang and Chen, and Chen said, "Auntie, why do you have to ask so clearly." ”

"Since the matter has happened, Xu Hounu will be a family with us in the future, let's talk about it, solve everyone's doubts, and there will be questions from outside in the future, so we have something to say." Mrs. Li, is the sister of Li Xiang in the current dynasty, her parents died, she herself provided her own brother to study, and Zhenbei Hou also knew each other when she was in Wei, and she had a high right to speak in the Jiang family and the Li family, and the little Li family sitting on one side was her niece. But the two don't look alike, and so do their personalities.

Xinyue looked around, but no one spoke for herself, and finally looked at Xiao Li.

As soon as Xiao Li noticed Xinyue's gaze, he was a little restless, and then said to his mother-in-law, "Daughter-in-law heard..."

"What you have heard, how can this party sitting here explain it clearly?" Old Madam Li interrupted Xiao Li's words, Xinyue saw that Xiao Li's face turned red, thinking that she felt embarrassed, Xinyue looked up, and she didn't have anything to see about it.

So he opened his mouth and said, "I think that Mrs. Li also knows that the original good match of Yu Xiaowang is not me, but by Princess Yu, who is the master of the Xiao family, and the Xiao family is convicted, but the Xiao family is guilty, but the national teacher has calculated the number of fortunes for the uncle, and it is good to have happy events in the family." Therefore, it happened that I was not married at that time, so I married Yu Xiaowangye. Half a year later, the prince died of illness because of the water at home, and the prince of Yu helped the coffin of the prince to return to the eastern capital for burial, and I stayed in Jinling to serve my aunt. We have been separated since the two places, and the little prince of Houyu accepted Xiao Yuyin as a concubine and gave birth to a concubine. Later, my aunt died of illness, and I lived in Jinling for more than two years.

Xinyue told the truth about what she had encountered over the years, she was pushed off the stone bridge by Rong Xu, how did the Xiao family want to cross herself everywhere "I thought she was a poor person, if she was to marry into the Yu Mansion and become the princess of Yu in the future, I also sympathize with her, and I am also a helpless person, seeing her struggling, I really can't bear her feeling condescending." Moreover, Yu Xiaowang also treats the Xiao family sincerely, after all, the two have a similar fate as teenagers. My aunt and mother have taught Xinyue, and when she is constantly suffering, Xinyue has fallen from the relationship with the little prince and the Xiao family, so there is no need for me to be in it. ”

"Then have you thought about the next person who will marry Yu Xiaowangye?" Xinyue didn't expect that the one who asked this would be Xiao Li's family, Xiao Li's family is really like her daughter, very considerate, "You see that Yu Xiaowang and Xiao are inseparable, but Xiao can only be a concubine in this life, and Yu Xiaowang has to marry a new person to come in, which is how unfair it is for the new lady." ”

"Sister-in-law, how could it be? If the new lady has some means, which are liked by the little prince Yu, she will naturally be able to beat the Xiao family, who is already old. Chen immediately thought of a rebuttal.

"The love between the two young acquaintances, the new moon can't move, what can a yellow-haired girl who doesn't understand the world do?" Zhou added.

Xinyue listened to them gossiping, and the focus was finally not on herself.

Old Madam Li looked like she would avoid the important and take the focus away from herself, nodded, and whispered to Old Madam Zhuang, "This girl is smart enough." ”

Old Madam Zhuang also nodded, "And there is also a ruthlessness to survive with a broken tail, as the wife of Jiangmen, you must have a decision in your heart." ”

"It's a good choice" Although Mrs. Li didn't show it, she still expressed her appreciation for the new moon.

In the end, the topic became farther and farther away, and Mrs. Li gave her own answer: "Since it is a wicked person and a bad thing, it is the best policy to dodge, and it is someone else's business to step on the on the pole, even if you put the in the latrine, someone still falls into the pit." ”

After speaking, all the ladies were dumbfounded, this, this old lady Li spoke, and it was really too straightforward.

However, Crescent Moon understood what she meant, and nodded, "That's the truth." ”

"That's right, Crescent, you're doing the right thing. Back then, Empress Taizu Zhang also chose her own fate. "The one who spoke was Mrs. Li's granddaughter-in-law Zhang, their family and Queen Zhang's family are close relatives, and the Zhang family, which was prominent back then, was only one of them.

Xinyue listened and smiled, how could she compare with that Empress Zhang.

Just as he was saying this, a word came from outside, "Ladies, girls, the front is ready, the prince let us pass"

"Alright then, let's go to the front and watch the ceremony." Old Madam Li stood up, although she was old, her posture was still very brisk, not hunchbacked, and Mrs. Zhuang, who was five years younger than her, had never done this.

"Let's go" Mrs. Zhuang walked to Xinyue's side, stretched out her hand to take her hand, and the two of them went to the main courtyard together.

There is a vacant lot outside the main courtyard of the Hou Mansion in the north of the town, and a half-high platform is set up here, this is the place where the ceremony is held, and the seats are set up outside, which is the place to watch the ceremony, and the new moon took a cursory look, and sure enough, there are few outsiders except for the Jiang family's own family.

There were four positions on the high platform, and at this time, the Marquis of Zhenbei, who was sick in bed, was already sitting on the main seat, and his eldest son was standing next to him.

Old Mrs. Li, with the support of her daughter-in-law Xiao Li, also walked onto the stage, so that the owners of the four positions were also all there.

The Zhenbei Hou couple and the Shizi couple sat down on both sides, and the four of them were all dressed in very formal clothes at this time, and after they sat down, the people in charge also sat down, and the new moon sat next to Chen, and on the other side was the male guest.

Jiang Zan stood on the side of the Hou and his wife in Zhenbei, and when he saw that everyone was sitting still and quiet, he shouted to the closed courtyard door, "The ceremony begins." ”

As soon as the words fell, the courtyard door opened, and two girls with combed hair walked out first, and the one on the left was the Cheshire Lord, who was holding a plum blossom in her hand, but her movements were very stiff, and her expression was very serious.

And behind the Lord of Cheshire, Jiang Lianxin, who had loose hair and was wearing plain clothes, went up to the high platform step by step.

Chai Bijun was the first to reach the high platform, but she did not go up, but stood on both sides, although the expression on her face was not very good, but she still walked according to the agreed etiquette.

In the end, only Jiang Lianxin and the two grandmothers holding the plate walked onto the high platform.

One of the two grandmothers held a basin of water, a comb and a beautiful hosta.

Jiang Lianxin knelt on the futon in the middle, and Jiang Zan stood in front of her, reciting the inscription, "Today, Dasheng, Zhenbei Hou Jiang has a daughter, Zhenbei Hou's grandson, Zhenbei Hou's son, the second daughter of the Wei envoy, Jiang's mercy, over fifteen years old..."

Xinyue has never seen such a grand ceremony, three generations of the family, all attended, the uncle personally wrote the edict, as a ceremonial officer, Xinyue thought that this for the Jiang family's girl, should be the most important thing in addition to getting married, if it were not for the national funeral, I would definitely invite the nobles of the whole city to come to watch the ceremony, tell everyone that the Jiang family has a female first-grown up, show off to everyone.

Thinking that when he was fifteen years old, he was married to Rong Xu, and he had already combed his woman's hair, so how could he talk about it.

As she spoke, Xinyue touched her hair, but inadvertently, she touched the white velvet flower.

"Girl, your hairpin is crooked." Fei'er said, straightening the hairpin for the crescent moon.

At this time, Jiang Lianxin on the high platform lowered her head, her mother and grandmother were holding a comb, combing her hair at once, and finally rolled a bun on top of her head, Mrs. Li picked up the hosta and handed it to Xiao Li, "You come"

Xiao Li was flattered and didn't dare to pick it up, but Mrs. Li insisted, so she didn't hesitate and stretched out her hand to put a hairpin for her daughter. Jiang Lian restrained himself and knelt on the ground, "Grandparents, parents are above, please accept the little girl's worship." ”

Zhenbei Hou should be a little sick, and his face is not good-looking, but he still came here with spirit, nodded and said, "Good boy, now I am an adult, I will marry someone in the future, and when I go out, I will definitely remember that as a descendant of the Jiang family, I will not insult my Jiang family's style, be cautious, and be an upright person." ”

"Yes, thank you grandfather for your teachings."

The four of them instructed her separately, and Jiang Zan said, "Licheng, get up." ”

At this time, Jiang Lianxin stood up and walked to her mother's side.

Xiao Li touched his little daughter's hand, smiled faintly, and said, "Good boy, now that you have grown up." ”

"After the ceremony, disperse." After Jiang Zan finished shouting, all the female dependents went up to the high platform and hugged Jiang Compassion.

Xinyue sat in place, looking at Jiang Lianxin who was smiling implicitly, and remembered the decent and difficult Jiang Lianyue, the second is sisters, naturally very similar, thinking about it, Jiang Lianyue also had a grand ceremony, and the whole family also blessed her so sincerely.

As he was walking, Xinyue heard Xiao Li say, "Please move, there is a banquet in the back garden." ”

"Girl, let's go." Seeing that Xiao Li was leading the ladies to the backyard where they had just come, and the male guests were also going to the vestibule to the north, Xinyue got up from his seat and went to the back.

As she walked, Xinyue raised her hand and looked at the congratulatory gift she had prepared for Jiang Lianxin, since she was here to watch the ceremony, she naturally had to send a congratulatory gift.

"Xu Hounu stays." Xinyue turned around and saw Chai Bijun and his maid, standing three meters away from him.

Crescent Moon stopped, waiting for her to come step by step, and said, "Lord Cheshire." ”

"Hou Nu Xu, you're polite" said, and the Cheshire Lord returned the salute, "Why didn't you see the girl in the mercy room." ”

Xinyue smiled, "The little girl is not a friend of the merciful girl, but the old lady Zhuang invited me to participate in such an occasion." ”

"I see, let's go to the backroom together."

Crescent Moon nodded and walked with her.

"Speaking of which, the robe on my body is still made of cloth given by Hou Nu Xu and made into clothes, what does Hou Nu think?"

Xinyue didn't understand the meaning of her words for a while, so she had to echo, "The county lord is very well dressed. ”

"Hou Nu really thinks so? Yesterday I wore it to the palace, and the queen said that this dress was not suitable for me, and it seemed that I was pale and had no aura at all. As he spoke, Lord Cheshire tugged at his sleeve with some disgust.

Xinyue looked at this fine Huzhou satin, which was worthless in her hands, and she really felt that it was a pity, "I heard the grandmother of the cloth village say that it was the county lord who selected this material by yourself, whether it looks good or not is something you like, and it is also worn on the body, this good satin is naturally worthy of the county lord." ”

"I didn't like it, but I didn't like it when people grabbed me, and when I grabbed it, I wanted it. Moreover, no one can take anything from me. What does Xu Hounu think? ”

"If this satin is spoken, since it doesn't match, why force it."

"Crescent, you're here, grandmother is looking for you, come." The one who came to find Xinyue was Zhou, who had just married Xiao Li's second son this year, she pulled Xinyue, saw Chai Bijun, and said with a smile, "County Lord, we lost company first." ”

Xinyue was pulled by Zhou, Xinyue knew that she came specifically to relieve herself, Xinyue didn't like Chai Bijun very much, so when she talked to her, she was also a little evasive, and Zhou, who was on the side, must have seen it and ran over to rescue her.

Crescent Moon curtsied her knees and smiled and said, "Thank you, ma'am." ”

"Sister, I'm Huan'er, you don't remember me."

"Zhou Huan, how can I not remember you." As she spoke, Crescent Moon laughed.

The head of the Zhou family and the prince of Yu are close friends, and the children of the two families are also friends, often playing together, and Xinyue and Zhou Huan's sister Zhou Wei are still handkerchiefs.

"Just now I was afraid that my sister wouldn't recognize me, and I was only ten years old when I left." As he spoke, Zhou Huan smiled brightly.

"Yes, now that you are married to a woman, how well does Lang Jun treat you?"

Huan'er lowered her head and said shyly, "He treats me very well." ”

"That's fine, and your sister will be relieved. I've seen her since the Eastern Capital. ”

"My sister is pregnant again now, and she will give birth again in June next year." Huan'er pulled the new moon and told her about the years of things.

Xinyue listened from the sidelines, thinking that in her dream, she had lost face in the entire Eastern Capital, was rejected by others, and was treated like a madman, only Wei'er sent things to herself when she was imprisoned, and she was able to survive for a while, and then Wei'er returned to Jinling with her husband, and slowly couldn't take care of it, so the two broke off contact.

"Is my sister going to marry into the Jiang family?" Huan'er asked.

Xinyue thought about it, thought of her agreement with Jiang Yang, and had to nod, "If there is no accident, yes"

"That's great" Huan'er was still a child, and when she heard the news, she jumped up.

Xinyue took her hand, "Good sister, calm down, this is not something that can be spoken." ”

"Then I'm also happy, my sister and I have become..."Huan'er thought for a long time, and then pouted in some disappointment and said, "Then won't my sister become my aunt?" ”
