Mrs. Xu naturally did not want to watch the girl fall into an embarrassing situation, and quickly summoned her to her side and sat down with Mrs. Tuesday at the same table.

Princess Yan naturally sat on the top seat, and the county lord of Yongping sat on the first seat under her left hand. Mrs. Xu's seat was about to go down again, and it was already the third, and when she looked at the opposite side, it was actually level with Mrs. Xu's seat. According to the envoy's wife, above is the governor's wife, mother and daughter, and under is Xie Shenzheng's wife Wen, and below is the mother and daughter of the Wan family and several other officials. In addition, there are several official dependents, although their husbands' official positions are not high, they are all descendants of the side branch bloodline of a certain prince of the Yan Wangfu Dynasty, so they can be counted in the line of the Yan Wangfu and ranked in the seat of Mrs. Xu's hand.

It looked as if Mrs. Xu was just one of them.

Mrs. Xu's face turned cold, and when she looked at Princess Yan, she even put on a false smile mask very reluctantly.

When everyone arrived, Princess Yan's tea party officially began.

In fact, this can only be regarded as an informal small gathering, and there are not many people involved, basically all of them are more familiar with and have a lot of contacts with officials and relatives. Among them, the two daughters of the Xie family have only been in Peking for less than a month, and they are also the objects of everyone's concern and curiosity. Xie Mulin and Xie Yinghui sisters briefly introduced what they saw and heard on the road and their impressions after arriving in Beiping City.

Mrs. Xu and the mother and daughter of the Zhou family all came with some purpose in mind, although they did not take the daughter of the Xie family in their hearts, but if they had the opportunity, they would not give up stepping on people. So Xie Mulin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and Mrs. Tuesday immediately opened her mouth: "I heard that the two Xie girls just arrived in Beiping, and Lord Xie and Mrs. Xie set up a marriage for them?" Why is it so urgent? This marriage event has to be carefully considered, and if it is decided in a hurry, something may go wrong! ”

Everyone couldn't help but look sideways. Although this sounds like no problem, whose children want to get married, parents must think twice, but everyone has decided to have a family affair, and there is no beginning or end, what do you do when you say such unlucky words? Can people still cancel the marriage contract?

Wen Shi was good-tempered, and only smiled faintly: "Although it is a newly decided marriage, the master and I have observed our son-in-law for a long time before making a decision, and it is not hasty." ”

Mrs. Tuesday laughed dryly: "Really? I heard some rumors and thought it was ...... Ah, I shouldn't have said these things, it's just that the marriage of children is a big deal, and the relationship is very important, and it must be matched by both parties. If it is a family background, talent, temperament, and knowledge...... But if there is a little bit of incompatibility, it is inevitable that there will be disagreements between husband and wife in the future. It is not good for men and women who have become married to make trouble and divorce at every turn, and it is natural to be cautious about the affairs of a lifetime. ”

Wen Shi was a little unsure of what she meant, so he could only smile and nod.

Mrs. Xu took over the conversation: "For example, in a family like our palace, you can't be too careless when choosing a marriage match for your children. She cited some negative examples in the clan to prove her point, saying that in the past hundred years, the well-known resentful couples in the clan were more than half of them caused by the female family's poor family or the nouveau riche family, and concluded that it was most appropriate for the children of the royal family to choose the well-educated ladies of the family of the eunuchs for generations. Because the famous lady has a good upbringing, she knows what kind of etiquette and rules she should abide by in the palace, and she will not make jokes or do things that are not in line with her identity.

Wen was still confused, and at least half of the other people present looked at her blankly. Although there is some truth in her words, what is she doing here? The Yan Wang couple have no son, even if they want to prove that the Thursday girl she praised is very suitable for marrying the children of the palace, there is no matchmaker for her here?

Could it be that she wants to borrow the power of Princess Yan to tell the Thursday girl to which clan disciple? However, the Zhou family had resolutely rejected an heir of the concubine of the previous generation of Yan Wang, and ridiculed people for "delusional desire to eat swan meat", which was very unpleasant, and now it is definitely not the idea of beating the children of the Yan Wangfu. But if you want to marry your daughter to the clan in the capital, this time is too tight, can Zhou Bu's body last until his granddaughter gets married?

Mrs. Wan immediately couldn't help but ask Mrs. Tuesday: "How is Mr. Zhou's body?" Right? What did the Imperial Physician say? How did I hear that he couldn't even take medicine? ”

Mrs. Tuesday was just happy for Mrs. Xu's praise of her daughter, so Mrs. Wan poured a basin of cold water on her head, and the whole person came out with black gas, stretched her face and said: "Let Mrs. Wan worry, our old lady is fine!" It's just that I'm old and the weather is cold, so I have committed an old illness, and it's good to take care of it. Outsiders don't know anything, they are just chewing their tongues, and they are not afraid of talking nonsense, they will make a mistake and go to hell after death in the future! ”

Mrs. Wan's face also grew long, and she sneered: "Is that really the case? That's great! No one has been allowed to visit the boss in the house, and our lord doesn't know what the old boss's condition is, so he worries at home all day long! Now that I have received a letter from Mrs. Tuesday, our lord is relieved, and he will definitely call his colleagues in the Qi Yamen to go to the house to congratulate the boss. The old man should be strong and strong, and he can live a long life! ”

"You!" Mrs. Tuesday glared at Mrs. Wan angrily, and the two almost didn't get into a fight on the spot.

Thursday the girl tugged at her mother's sleeve and signaled her not to quarrel with her at this time. Their mother and daughter's intention to come today has not yet been achieved, how can they make a storm at this time and make Princess Yan unhappy? What's more, there is no problem with Mrs. Wan's words, it's just that their mother and daughter are weak-hearted. But since it is a weak heart, how can it be known to outsiders?

Mrs. Tuesday turned her head to look at Mrs. Xu, and saw that she was looking at her coldly, and immediately shivered, and immediately calmed down.

Seeing this, Mrs. Wan sneered again, her eyes showed disdain, and she decided that when she went home for a while, she would definitely go to the political envoy's mansion to "congratulate" Mrs. Zhou, because Mrs. Zhou said in person on Tuesday that Mrs. Zhou was "fine", which shows that the condition has improved greatly! She wanted to know, how would Mrs. Zhou deal with this second daughter-in-law who was causing trouble outside? After all, the rumor that the old man was not very good only came out of the front foot of the Zhou family, which provoked King Yan to give doctors and medicines many times, and promised to accept the two sons-in-law of the Zhou family into the palace in the new recruitment of the palace not long after. If Boss Zhou is safe and sound, where can they get these benefits?!

Princess Yan coughed lightly twice, and both Mrs. Tuesday and Mrs. Wan calmed down, removed their hostile expressions, and changed into a respectful posture, listening to the princess's next instructions.
