Mrs. Wan didn't want to talk about the concubine.

She learned this morning that Wan Long was going to follow General Yuan Xiao and the envoy from Beijing to Beijing to offer prisoners. Even if Wan Long doesn't have a serious official position, he has no merit at all, and it is impossible to get any great benefits when he returns to the capital, but even this little light, she doesn't want him to get involved! Let him get out of the control of his parents and be able to enter the Yanwang Mansion to do things, he has already accumulated great virtue in his previous life, why can he be allowed to go back to the capital?! She refused to go back at that time and strictly ordered Wan Long not to leave Beiping.

However, it didn't work.

This was decided by the Yan Wangfu, and it was a foregone conclusion. Even Senator Wan didn't dare to dismiss King Yan's order, what could she do? Even if she discounted this cheap embryo's legs, so that he couldn't get on the horse and couldn't drive, she had to have enough reasons to deal with the punishment of Yan Wangfu. She offended the Yan Wangfu not long ago, and just now she finally used the face of her in-laws to ask for the forgiveness of Princess Yan, how could she offend the nobles again? I had to endure this.

Anyway, if Bandung returns to Beijing, it won't be a big climate. The mother-in-law, Mrs. Pingchang Hou, could not refute the face of her daughter-in-law, who was a high-ranking official in her mother's family, for the sake of a grandson, and the people in the other rooms did not take Wan Long seriously. He is a young man with no fame and no qualifications, even if he can follow General Yuan Xiao to Beijing to show his face, what can he do? He doesn't even have a martial arts position, and he can't ride a horse well enough! Can you still be added to the rank of knight from now on?

Mrs. Wan endured this breath and acquiesced to Wan Long's return to Beijing, but there was only so much she could do, and it was impossible to really be like his own mother and pack some bags for him. This kind of thing can be done by Aunt Wang and the girls, do you need her to worry about it? But the in-laws Wen still had to bring it up, but it seemed that her mother-in-law was not loving enough.

Mrs. Wan said angrily: "His aunt will take care of it herself, so she doesn't need me to worry about it." Then he tried to quickly change the topic back to the category he was interested in, "The Zhou family made a fuss this time, and the second room of the Zhou family was angry, but I was afraid that it would become more and more noisy to split the family, I really don't know how Mrs. Zhou feels." However, that Wednesday Master has always been a quiet and honest person, I didn't expect him to have such a big temper, which is really surprising. I thought he was a coward, and he would only swallow his anger at his brother and sister-in-law's behavior. Originally, this matter had nothing to do with him today, but I didn't expect him to jump out in the end. In fact, Mrs. Xu hit the idea of the Thursday girl, and Mrs. Tuesday planned to ask the girl in the fourth room to suffer for her daughter, and there was nothing to do with the eldest daughter of the third master! The Wednesday girl looked very well up, but she was not a beauty. Mrs. Xu really plans to use beauty tricks, and she won't hit her with the idea! ”

How could Wen not understand Mrs. Wan's thoughts? She didn't plan to take care of her in-laws' housework, but there were some things that had to be said clearly before she had to open her mouth: "As long as it's about children, parents naturally have to be thoughtful." Mrs. Xu can treat the Thursday girl's life as a child's play for her personal interests today, but she knows that she will not fight the idea of the Wednesday girl in the future? Besides, the Zhou family has not yet been separated, and the Thursday girl is also the nephew of the Wednesday master, so she is naturally annoyed. It's all human nature. For example, Brother Long has to go out in the winter, not to mention that you are his parents and relatives, we are parents-in-law, and we have to worry in my heart. This kind of weather is really not a good time to hurry, but the official business is urgent, so I can only prepare more for the child, so that he will suffer less on the road. ”

After that, she let the girl carry a big bag out, which was a tight jacket with fur, very warm, originally made for Xie Pu, ready to be worn by him in official clothes for the New Year to participate in various big ceremonies, now let it be given to the third son-in-law, and ask the needle and thread to change the size of the one originally made for Wan Long slightly, and supply Xie Pu; In addition, there is a pair of refined sheepskin boots, which were originally customized for Bandung as a New Year's gift, and were also given to him in advance; As for the fragmentary gloves, belts, hats, etc., there is no need to go into details, and at the end there is another tray of silver ingots, which is a coil prepared for Bandung, which is a full twenty taels.

This is just a parting gift from the Yue family to his son-in-law, the meaning is just meaning, the key is to be practical enough. Mrs. Wan sulked in her heart, feeling that her in-laws were hinting that her mother-in-law was not kind and thoughtful enough, and she didn't even prepare for the clothes and expenses on the way to the concubine. She really didn't plan to give anything to Wan Long, but Wen prepared such a burden, and she gave it to Wan Long through her hand, so she couldn't really pull out a dime. Even if she doesn't have time to prepare any clothes, shoes and hats, she must give it, and it can't be less than the twenty taels of silver from her in-laws, otherwise her mother-in-law doesn't matter, and Senator Wan's father will also be embarrassed.

This is not something that outsiders know about or discuss. Political Envoy Xie Bu is the top boss of Senator Wan, and there are some things he can ask, and Senator Wan can't hide it. If Mrs. Wan doesn't save face for her husband, her husband should complain about her when she turns around.

She suddenly lost the interest in chatting about the Zhou family's gossip, and casually chatted with the Wen family for a few words, and was about to get up and say goodbye.

The Wen family didn't force her to stay, and only smiled: "When the two ladies of the Yuan family were invited to the banquet on the sixteenth, could the in-laws go to the garden?" This is a rare opportunity. Mrs. Yuan is very famous in Beiping City, and it is good for her in-laws to pay a visit. ”

Mrs. Wan said listlessly: "That's it, I'm pretending to be sick now, so I have to pretend to be on Chinese New Year's Eve, and it's not convenient to go to any banquet on the way." That is, the people living on this street are all their own people who know the roots, so I don't have so many worries, and I dare to go to my in-laws' house to visit the door, otherwise I will have to stay at home all the time, and finish singing this scene before I can explain to the princess. ”

However, although she could not attend the banquet hosted by the Xie family, she did not forget that this was originally an event for all the officials and relatives of the Yamen to come forward to entertain the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Yuan family. Although the Wen clan is the host, the family members of the officials at all levels of the political envoy and the yamen have to contribute. Mrs. Wan is no exception.

So she made a suggestion: "I heard that my in-laws plan to invite the Southern Opera troupe to sing a few good plays at the banquet. I also think that Mrs. Yuan has already heard the Northern Opera at the banquet in the palace, so let's follow Mrs. Yuan's preference and invite the Southern Opera Troupe to sing it. But now I heard that the governor's wife's banquet was to be held before her in-laws' family, and her family invited the best southern opera troupe to sing "Mother-in-law's Tattoo". If the in-laws do the same, wouldn't it be impossible to show the ability of our political envoy to the yamen?! I'm afraid that this way to help the fun, I have to think again.

"I have been bored at home for the past two days, and my son feels sorry for me, but he invited a well-known storyteller from the street outside, and he is talking about the drama of General Yuan Xiao capturing the enemy general Wang, which is very exciting. Why don't you ask the storyteller to give it a try? It's fresher and more interesting than the blind southern opera troupe. ”
