Night.

Mama Wu used all her skills to manage a table of good dishes.

Old Madam Gui took a sip of wine.

She drank glutinous rice wine, which was scalded, and the temperature in her mouth was right, and she only drank a few glasses, not excessively.

"In the past two years, our Hou Mansion has encountered a lot of unfortunate things and difficulties," Mrs. Gui said, "This year, Erlang has been promoted, his brother has been promoted, and Sister Yan is going to go out of the cabinet, there are a lot of good things. ”

Except for Wen Zilan, who is in office, the people in the Ding'an Hou Mansion are all together.

Old Mrs. Gui sighed for a while, as if she was saying a greeting on Chinese New Year's Eve, and chanted a lot.

The whole family listened to her and raised their glasses.

A reunion feast, everyone eats comfortably.

Old Madam Gui seemed to be in a really good mood, and she didn't want to embarrass An at all, not only was An a little more comfortable, but Cao and the others were relieved.

After that, there was still a lot of work at home.

If you add some bad things, you really can't take care of it.

Moreover, with a soft knife like Mrs. Gui, it is difficult for others to take care of it.

After the meal, the Cao family sent the An family and them to the rented house.

After settling inside and out, the Cao family returned to Yanzi Hutong and discussed with Wen Zifu: "The Ministry of Rites said before that after the younger siblings enter Beijing, they will finalize the date of welcoming them. Now that everyone is complete, you can talk to the Ministry of Rites tomorrow. ”

Wen Zifu paced back and forth in the room to eat, answered, took two more steps, suddenly thought of it, and asked, "Why are you in such a hurry?" Halfway through the six ceremonies, this marriage is stable. ”

Cao said: "Where is the unstable thing! It was done earlier, and the three brothers and sisters should go back to Lin'an earlier. ”

Wen Zifu was puzzled and asked, "That's too rushed." Even if the marriage is completed before the lunar month, it is freezing this day, so let their women and children go back? If you want me to say, it's better to stay in Beijing for the New Year, and wait for the spring to be warmer, and then it's not too late to leave. It is also rare to come and take a walk in the capital, especially a few children, to open your eyes. ”

Cao Shi rolled his eyes behind Wen Zifu's back.

She knew her husband was thinking.

From a common sense point of view, these ideas are all true.

After a long journey, they are all women and children, and they are afraid of freezing when sailing in winter, and students never die studying in school......

But isn't there Mrs. Gui here!

Far fragrant and near smelly.

It is impossible for incense to be fragrant, even if one lives on the edge of the sky, it will not be fragrant.

But it stinks......

If the old lady does not exist today, it does not mean that the An family does not exist at the beginning of spring.

For Wen Zifu, Cao's own set of straightforward, worry-free and effort-saving rhetoric: "Everyone is in Beijing, is the master going to let the third uncle celebrate the New Year alone?" ”

Wen Zifu was stunned.

"The third uncle has been in Mingzhou for most of the time, and he is alone, but fortunately, he still has colleagues who have a drink from time to time," Cao continued, "During the New Year's Festival, the third uncle can't still stay in Mingzhou, right?" When I returned to Lin'an, the house was empty, and who had time to socialize with him for the New Year? The old man put himself in his shoes and thought about it, if it were you, could you live this year? ”

Wen Zifu's face sank.

Can't get by!

has a wife, children and daughters, but has to live a lonely life......

I can't live my life!

Cao's family understands the way of socializing too well, and continues to add fire: "It's to find someone to get together, to put it simply, it's nothing more than a son studying, a daughter getting married, or what about a grandson, what did the master let the third uncle say?" ”

Wen Zifu's face turned black to the bottom of the pot.

Brother Min's studies are okay, but it's far from the time to brag, not to mention that the child is not around.

Sister Kite and when she returned home, although no one from the Ding'an Hou Mansion questioned it, but agreed with this choice very much, but the people outside, especially some old pedantics, could not have anything good to say.

Wen Zilan went to the banquet, but he could only drink a stuffy drink.

"The third brother's alcohol consumption is not very good......" Wen Zifu muttered.

Cao's mouth crooked at Mama Hu for a while.

With the amount of alcohol the master, he was embarrassed to laugh at the third uncle.

It's clearly half a catty and eight taels!

The two brothers drank and cried while holding their heads, and Cao still remembered it clearly.

Either way, the reason is clearly sufficient.

An's they had to return early, and Wen Zifu thought so now.

The next day, Wen Zifu rested, and the old lady Xungui said this, and it made sense.

It is impossible for the old lady not to feel sorry for her son, and she is reluctant to let Wen Zilan spend the New Year alone.

After breakfast, Wen Zifu went to the Thousand Steps Corridor.

In the yamen of the Ministry of Rites, Du Hong discussed with the two waiters.

The fourth son wants to do it early, and the woman wants to do it early, so why should they be wicked, just do it early, and still have a peaceful New Year.

Huo Yixiao personally went to Changning Palace.

"Niangniang said that she would wait for Wen Yan's younger brother before," Huo Yixiao said, "Now that everyone has arrived, I think November 28 is very good." ”

Concubine Huo couldn't cry or laugh, and glanced at Huo Yixiao.

Can it be bad?

It's twenty years old.

Thanks to the tight work in the early stage, the preparations are almost complete, and in the end, it can be done in a hurry.

The day is set, and the future is all according to the plan.

Wen Yan's dowry book was sent to the Ministry of Rites.

Gao Lujiao glanced at it, there was nothing inappropriate, and he wanted to just present it to Changning Palace, but was stopped by Huo Yixiao.

Huo Yixiao suppressed his voice and said a few words to Gao Lujiao.

Gao Lujiao's head swelled when he heard this, and asked, "Fourth son, do you really tell your mother like that?" ”

"Master Gao just does as he says," Huo Yixiao said, "When Niangniang asked, she said what I said." ”

What can Gao Lujiao do?

He could only nod.

In Changning Palace, Mama Qi gave the booklet to Concubine Huo for a look.

Make a list, and the better things are in front of you.

Concubine Huo saw at a glance, a pair of blue-glazed pomegranate vases, an ivory carved hollow and a lotus square box, a flower blooming rich interstitial, three things, up and down.

These are familiar.

Without saying it directly in front of Gao Lujiao, Concubine Huo asked Mama Qi with her eyes.

Qi Mama recalled, nodded, pointed to the other three, and gestured to the concubine, meaning, the emperor's things.

Concubine Huo pressed her eyebrows.

Gao Lujiao's heart was bright, he hung his head, and said: "The fourth prince said that there are a few things that he gave to Miss Wen to support the scene, because Miss Wen's parents and the things of the Xia family are in the warehouse. ”

This treasury, of course, is the treasury.

Concubine Huo: "......"

The case of Pingxi Hou's collaboration with the enemy was handled by the emperor, and he was also very unhappy.

No emperor can care nothing when he handles this kind of case when he knows there is a problem but has no way to do it.

Huo Yixiao's move was not so much to support Wen Yan as to ask for something for Wen Yan.

Evidence is required to overturn the case, and the opening of the treasury is not needed.

I was happy to reward them and their husbands with some things, let them pick a few things at will, and the rationale and etiquette were all over.

That's a good idea.
