Xinyue came out of Xu Xintai's courtyard, emotional, Feng'er and Fei'er were standing at the gate of the courtyard watching, watching Xinyue come out of it, and immediately followed, Xinyue walked a few steps, and then went forward, it was a banquet set up in the backyard, she really couldn't keep her spirits up, turned around and wanted to leave, but she hit her head in Feng'er's arms.

Feng'er immediately hugged Xinyue, "Madam, what's wrong with you, madam?" ”

As soon as Xinyue heard the voice of Feng'er, "Go, Fei'er go and call my sister-in-law, I, I'll wait for her in the pavilion in front." ”

"Okay, slave and maid, let's go." Feng'er hugged the new moon, and Fei'er had to go to Cao's first.

The new moon hung her hands, was supported by Feng'er, and walked to the pavilion not far away. There is a rockery on the side of the pavilion, which can be covered, and the crescent moon sits in the pavilion, so she pulls a handkerchief from her arms and wipes away the tears on her face.

"Husband, madam, you..." Feng'er didn't believe why Xinyue's face suddenly changed, and she was still teary-eyed, but it was only because she cried harder, and there were some choking sounds, but there were no more tears in her eyes.

"If I cry for a long time, my eyes will be really swollen, and when I return to the feast, I will see the flaws." Crescent Moon showed her hand, and the index finger pinched by her thumb was already bleeding before she could bear it.

"Madame, you... Did Master Hou beat you? Feng'er looked at the dust on Xinyue's clothes, and there was no scar on her body, and she opened her collar, and there was no redness and swelling on her face, but Xinyue was crying so much just now that Feng'er was about to cry, "Madam, where are you hurt?" ”

"If he didn't beat me, no matter how hard he was as hard as iron, he couldn't beat me." As he spoke, Xinyue wiped away the tears on his face, the ash on his hands, and the dust on his clothes, but he couldn't wipe it clean." ”

"When it's over this time, let's do ten pieces, Mama will cut it for you, and I'll do it for you myself." As she spoke, she pulled up the sleeves of the new moon and wiped them with her own handkerchief, but the water that got on it somewhere shalomed away the dust, and most of the sleeves were full of stains.

"What, what's going on?" Cao's sister-in-law was arranging a meal in the hall, but she saw Fei'er coming around from behind, calling her over, daring to bypass the rockery, and saw Xinyue sitting in the pavilion unkempt and disheveled. ”

"You don't have to be so polite, you, you went to your brother's room, why did you become like this?" Cao's sister-in-law is also afraid that Xinyue will be beaten, although she knows what her husband is, but, she has been married into the Xu family for ten years, and she has never seen this brother and sister, she has eaten a meal together, drank a cup of tea, Xinyue Wuwu sat here by herself, and Cao was really not sure what was wrong with her for a while.

"Sister-in-law, I'm here, this dress is dirty, you, you can lend me a piece of clothing, and, and a little ice, my eyes are calm, and my eyes are very hot." Xinyue was out of breath when she said a word, and tears were about to flow out again, she endured it, reached out and touched her head, and after touching it for a long time, she didn't find the hosta on her head.

Seeing Xinyue's action, Cao's sister-in-law immediately reached out and grabbed her hand, took out a handkerchief from her arms, wiped the dust on Xinyue's hands, and said, "Xinyue, I always pity you, your parents died at a young age, and you sent people under the fence, and even the marriage can be snatched away by others, and it is not arranged." As your eldest sister-in-law, I have failed to fulfill my obligation to speak up for you, and I feel guilty all the time. And your attitude always proves to me that you are separated from me by a layer. Every time you have to reach the point where you have no choice, you will ask me to do something, and every time you give me something, I prepare a dowry for you, and when you return the gift, the boxes with the most things in them have not been opened, and all of them are sent back to me. Even this time, you hope that I can talk about my brother's marriage to Yao'er of the Yuwang family, and it is the first time that you took the initiative to come to my door and gave me a lot of gifts, Xinyue, you are really me, lack of your jewelry, you have never regarded me as your family. Over the years, your brother has led soldiers from outside, and I am the only one in the family, and there is no in-laws to serve me, so there is nothing difficult about the middle feed. And you are something I have never been able to please and get close to. Today, I see your maintenance and teaching of Yao'er, maybe I have not done enough. ”

Crescent looked at the hand she covered her hand, Crescent hesitated, pulled her hand back, and said, "I don't know sister-in-law, but there are clean clothes and ice cubes." ”

"Yes, it's me talking nonsense, let's go, go to my room." Saying that, Cao couldn't hide his disappointment and walked in front, and together with Xinyue, went to the courtyard behind.

The wardrobe opened, Xinyue looked at Cao's sister-in-law's clothes, and then smiled, Cao's sister-in-law went to fetch ice for Xinyue herself, and only Feng'er, Fei'er and Xinyue were left in the house.

Seeing that Xinyue finally showed a smile, Feng'er asked, "What's the matter, madam?" ”

Xinyue actually doesn't hate this sister-in-law Cao, and she has always shown favor to herself, but she has been refusing. Now, a whole wardrobe of clothes is displayed in front of her, and she is really full of sincerity, but Xinyue does not intend to accept her affection, but reaches out and takes out a wide-sleeved gown, and says to Feng'er, "Change it for me, and then comb my hair." ”

"Yes"

Coming out of Cao's room, it was time for lunch, and Cao's also took a step forward to arrange the banquet, the new moon came and went, delayed for nearly an hour, and even if it was covered with ice, the new moon's eyes were still red and swollen, and it could be seen, so the new moon thought of a countermeasure and walked in generously.

Yao'er was sitting bored, and when she saw Xinyue coming back, she called out in surprise, "Sister-in-law, you..."

After being stopped by Xinyue's eyes, Yao'er immediately lowered her voice, "Sister-in-law Cao said that the banquet is about to start." ”

"You girl, are you afraid that I won't be able to eat at my mother's house?" As he spoke, the new moon had already returned to the position where she had just been sitting, revealing her face generously, but it seemed that there was nothing to hide.

Yao'er saw Xinyue's red and swollen eyes and eyes, and asked, "Sister-in-law, are you crying in these eyes?" ”

After saying that, the new moon reached out and touched her face as if she hadn't noticed, "I..."

"Madam" Fei'er took out the mirror from her arms in a little panic and handed it to Xinyue, after Xinyue saw it, she said with some chagrin, "Didn't you say you couldn't see it?" ”

In this way, when Xinyue and Yao'er said this, all the nobles in the audience looked over, and Xinyue's eyes darkened, "My brother and I haven't seen each other for more than half a year, and it won't be long before my mother's death day, so..."

After the family members comforted Xinyue again, Cao's sister-in-law also walked in and said, "Ladies, move to the dining room, let's have a banquet." ”

At the dinner table, I saw that the topic turned to the recent big fat sister-in-law of General Yida's family, which is the first time that their wife has given birth since she married into the door for more than ten years. For a while, it became the topic of most concern to Mrs. Jingzhong, and Xinyue listened from the sidelines, and coughed lightly, goodbye Yao'er, she had already tried to fugue, and did not listen to these words that were very out of place for her, an unmarried daughter.

Seeing that she was bored, Xinyue reached out and added a piece of jade cake for her that she had been looking at to "taste"

"Yes" Yao'er moved the chopsticks, although the taste of the cake was what she liked, but she also ate in small bites, and the food was very hard, which caused the new moon to laugh, Yao'er saw the new moon laughing at her, and was even more annoyed, but because there were many people, there was no way, so she had to clip another chopsticks jade paste cake and put it on the plate of the new moon, "Sister-in-law, you are too." ”

Li raised his eyes and saw that his aunt and sister-in-law were so harmonious, not only asked, "What interesting thing is your sister-in-law talking about?" ”

Xinyue looked at Li Shi with a smile and said, "This girl, in front of the ladies, is shy, once upon a time at home, this jade cake, as long as the grandmother in my room makes it, I have to hide a few pieces, otherwise I can't eat a bite." I didn't expect her to put this jade cake on my plate, I also felt curious, is my sister-in-law's jade cake not delicious, think about it carefully, but this girl is sensible and knows the truth of self-denial and revenge. ”

After Yao'er heard this, she didn't panic, but still clearly commented on this small jade cake, "Sister-in-law Cao's jade cake, the cake is as white as jade, the cake is broken like jade crumbs, and it is as sweet as honey, there is only some rosin, and the inside is a pine nut filling, Yao'er thought, sister-in-law, you like the aroma of pine nuts the most, you must like it." So I want your sister-in-law to try it, and when you get home, let Mama Wang make it for me. ”

The words of the sister-in-law and sister-in-law, although they said that Yao'er is a girl who loves to eat, but she is a person who can eat, knows how to eat, and has taste, but has a bit of elegance.

Sure enough, Li Shi smiled with satisfaction, and then pointed to the hibiscus cake in front of him, "You like to eat Yurong cake, and you will like to eat this in the future." ”

"Yes" Yao'er ate two chopsticks, tasted it again, and the people at the table couldn't stop nodding. Li nodded at Xinyue, who knew that this was Li and recognized Yao'er.

Xinyue couldn't bear the excitement in her heart, and couldn't help but deepen the smile on her face.

"Speaking of Mrs. Hu of General Yida's family, Mrs. Xinyue and the little prince have been married for six years, and their knees are still empty." After Wang finished speaking, not only Xinyue, but also Cao's sister-in-law couldn't hold back and wanted to say a few words to her, but Li grabbed ahead of her daughter and asked Mrs. Zhenbei Hou, "The lady Zhang in the front, the two children who stayed are okay." ”

Wang didn't expect that the Li family would suddenly mention the Zhang Niangzi who died in childbirth, Zhang Niangzi is the niece of her mother-in-law, so speaking, Mrs. Zhenbei Hou's face really sank, "Those two children have been raised under my knees, the eldest one is five years old this year, and in a few years, I will be able to bring them out to meet people." ”

"Where's the little one?" Lee then asked.

"It's hard for her mother to give birth to her with all her strength, and her body has always been good, but I'm afraid that those who are shallow and not tall in birth will have the wrong idea." Speaking of which, everyone knows Mrs. Zhenbei Hou, and she is talking about the Wang family who is sitting next to her.

"Slaves and maids who have been used in the house for a long time have times when they are dizzy, let alone those who have hope beside them. Chan'er, you follow your mother-in-law and be a good helper, the previous Mrs. Zhang did a good job, and you can't lose your sense of proportion. The Li family will return to the appearance of a loving aunt, but Wang's mother is a concubine, and the Li family naturally looks down on her.

"Yes" Wang was taught several times by his mother-in-law and aunt, so he naturally had to be more restrained.

The soup cup opened by the crescent moon at hand is a yam and wolfberry soup that strengthens the stomach and spleen, the ribs are dismantled and put in, it tastes delicious and does not have to worry about the bones, the new moon secretly praised the carefulness of Cao's sister-in-law, and then thought, Li is also this kind of careful person, Yao'er is very arrogant, what should I do if the two have the wrong temper.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry." Yao'er seemed to see through Xinyue's thoughts, reached out and grabbed Xinyue's hand, and whispered to Xinyue. Crescent Moon nodded "Okay"

After the meal, after drinking tea again, the banquet dispersed, and the new moon was a little tired, but Li still pulled himself to talk, warm and natural.

"Good boy, then let's see you on that day" Seeing that the sedan chair of the new moon arrived, the Li family sent the new moon out, and after the new moon and Yao'er saluted, they also took their leave.

Returning to the sedan chair, Xinyue breathed a sigh of relief, but before she had time to rest for a while, Feng'er got the news from the house, "Madam, prince, the little prince will enter Beijing in three or four days." ”

"I know" Xinyue closed her eyes, put her right hand on her left hand, and twisted the bracelet on her wrist, Yao'er's marriage is a sure thing, just waiting for her to get married, and her promise and repayment to her aunt will be over.

When she arrived at King Yu's residence, Yao'er was the first to come out of the sedan chair, as if she had suffocated her, and when she walked into the courtyard, she also trotted in three steps and two steps.

Xinyue followed behind her, and as soon as she walked into the yard, she was almost bumped into by Yao'er, who was going and returning, "That Wang is still Wang, it's really the same as a dog, it can only bark." ”

"She didn't yell at you, why are you angry?" As she spoke, Xinyue grabbed Yao'er and stroked the broken hair on her forehead, "Mrs. Cao has also reprimanded her, and when you meet in the future, you don't have to be afraid of her, and you don't have to leave her." ”

"Sister-in-law, aren't you angry? She said you and your big brother don't have children. ”

"She's not wrong, your eldest brother and I just don't have children." The new moon is also open-minded, "And your eldest brother also has a child, that is Guan'er." ”

"Sister-in-law, you and your brother have only been together for half a year after marriage, how can you have children."

"I'm tired, go back and rest." With that, Xinyue asked Xing'er to help her go back to her yard to rest.

On this day, Xinyue arranged a whole day, and the matter of Yao'er's marriage was repeated over and over again, but Xinyue personally arranged rehearsals for each thing, and it didn't come to an end until the afternoon.

She was so tired that she slept in bed until dinner time.

After holding the lamp, Xinyue still didn't want to get up, half of her body leaned on and put it on, holding a water and rice soup in her hand, and she lost interest after two sips.

Handed it to Fei'er, Feng'er came in from outside, and happened to see this scene, "Madam, Doctor Li didn't say that you were overly worried, if you don't eat more tea and dinner, something big will happen." ”

Crescent Moon shook her head, "I ate late at noon and slept for a long time, so I can't eat." How's it going, has it been cleaned up over there? ”

Feng'er refused to say, instead of looking at the rice soup in Fei'er's hand, Xinyue couldn't, so she had to drink the refreshing rice soup in the bowl in one gulp, and when she saw that a bowl of rice soup was at the bottom, Feng'er opened her mouth and said, "The residence ordered by Madame Wang, Mama Wang has already arranged it, and the rest will be arranged after Madame passes." ”

"That's fine. Where do the princes and little princes live? ”

"The prince lives in the courtyard of the prince and his wife, the little prince and Mrs. Xiao still live in the courtyard of the little prince, the second master and the third master both live in Miss Shan'er's yard, and there is a small scripture on the left and right sides of Miss Shan'er's yard, which just separates the house where the two masters live."

"That's good, they're coming tomorrow, everything needs to be in order" Crescent Moon reached out from the shelf on the side, picked up the half-read book, and continued to read.

"Yes," replied Feng'er.

"Madam, what are those big boxes for?" On the first day of Fei'er's arrival in Jinling, I felt that several large boxes placed on the side of the room were very concerning.

"Those are going to be sent out tomorrow, don't worry about it." In this, almost all the things of Xinyue, the things that Qianqian brought back from the eastern capital, and not a piece of baggage cloth was sent here, and they were all taken by Mama Wang to Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing.

"Madam, there is your letter" The news came from the second door, and the mother-in-law who guarded the door sent a letter that had just been delivered.

"Bring it up," Crescent Moon glanced at the hour, who would deliver the letter.

After receiving the letter, Xinyue knew who it was, and when she unfolded the letter, Xinyue smiled, "He can actually write letters." ”

"What's wrong?" Fei'er changed the carbon stove for the new moon, and the new moon actually lay on the bed, smiling easily.

"King Jin has left Beijing?" Crescent asked.

"Yes, early this morning" Fei'er also received the message.

"Well, I see, his wife will be born in a month or two." Saying that, Xinyue also finished reading the letter, casually formed the letter into a ball, and handed it to Fei'er to "burn it"

"Yes," she said, and in front of the crescent moon, she put the letter paper in the fire and burned it.

The letter received made Xinyue smile happily all the time, and Feng'er and Fei'er looked at Xinyue, who hadn't seen a smile for months, and tried to ask, "Madam, what makes you so happy?" ”

Xinyue frowned, only to realize that she was laughing, I don't know if it is appropriate to laugh at this time, in short, Xinyue feels that things have come to an end, and she has gained a moment of relief.

The letter is Rong Ying's letter, which tells him a message. said that in half a month, at the latest, Liang Guo would hand over the letter of state, asking the prince to marry the princess. The prince already has a wife, and he can only be a side concubine when he marries, and the person who asks to marry...

"How old is Princess Ruoyi?" Crescent asked.

Feng'er thought for a while, "I am the same age as the slave and maid, and I am sixteen years old." ”

"It's time to get married." Crescent nodded.

"Madame is talking about the princess? But I didn't see His Majesty and the Queen Mother set a horse for her. ”

"I'm talking about you, if you stay any longer, you'll be an old girl. What you told me that day, the young man who was a fellow countryman with you and was a soldier in my brother's barracks, was it good? Xinyue tilted her head, and saw that Feng'er really blushed again.

"Madam, you have enough things to worry about now, you don't have to worry about the slave and maid affairs anymore, it is better to wait for the lady to get her wish, and then worry about the slave and maid affairs. Sister Lan'er and Miss Rose were also married at the age of seventeen or eighteen. Feng'er naturally rejected Xinyue, and Xinyue still had some truth when she heard it, so she nodded and said, "Okay!" ”

Early in the morning, the new moon was awakened by a noise outside the door, and when she opened her eyes, she found that it was already dawn, and she seemed to have overslept, and the two girls did not call herself. Sit up from the bed, put on your shoes and clothes, and walk towards the place where you want to move.

As soon as she arrived at the door, Xinyue heard two voices that she was unfamiliar with, arguing with Feng'er.

"We are the people next to Mrs. Xiao, in the past, when Mrs. was not in the Eastern Capital Palace, it was our lady who presided over internal affairs in the mansion. When we arrived at this palace, we were ordered by the lady to check the situation of the various residences, and before we entered the door, we were stopped by you, a cheap maid, and quickly went in to inform your master, and we could not afford to delay the matter. ”

I only listened to Feng'er's tone as usual, and there was no displeasure, and she didn't talk to the woman who spoke just now, but said in a commanding tone, "I don't know where two thieves came from, what kind of concubine housekeeper opened and closed, and the crazy talk that the wife has to accompany him, suppress it and beat it, and then send it to the yamen." ”

"Yes" In this mansion, since the death of the Xu family, Xinyue is the same, these two brainless fools, they have provoked the wrong person from the beginning.

When Feng'er turned around and entered the house, she saw that Xinyue had her hair scattered and her clothes were already neatly dressed, knowing that she had been awake for a while, and she must have heard what happened just now, and said softly, "Madam, what happened just now..."

"You handled it very well, but after beating them, they were not sent to the government, but they were bought on the spot, and their deeds were asked for by the Xiao family, and if they didn't give it, they said what I said, and they beat her up." Xinyue's eyes sank, and Feng'er nodded "Yes"

After this little episode, the new moon looked at the hour, "Why didn't you wake me up today?" ”

"Got up early and sent someone to the dock to inquire about the boat of the prince and the little prince, and the little maid handed back the news that he had not seen our ship yet, so the slave and maid thought, you don't need to let the lady get up and wait, you can sleep as long as you want. It's not good in the east, isn't it okay in our house? "Feng'er is actually angry, and she is a little arrogant at this time.
