The four chosen servants rejoiced in their new clothes. However, in the interest of fairness, Wen also instructed all the servants in the household to add a new set of clothes when the seasons change. As a result, the whole family was happy, and no one said sour words in front of Mrs. Zhang and others, and if there were sour words, they all took them to heart, and many people went to say hello to them.

The four servants were to begin their training in basic court etiquette. Wen ordered someone to send them to the Yanwang Mansion in a carriage to attend classes. Because they were the first people to be selected, they had been trained longer than the servants selected by other eunuchs, studied more carefully, and became more familiar with the people in the Yan Wangfu. Within a few days, Zhao Fengnian's wife Rui Xue quietly told the main mother Wen that she had met several grandmothers of the Yanwang Mansion, as well as the governor's family, the envoy's family, the prefect's family, and the housekeeper mothers of several generals' families. That's the bonus.

Ruixue and Mrs. Zhang only received about seven days of training, and then hurriedly entered the Forbidden City and began to work. During this time, they lived in the Forbidden City and could not return home or go out. At home, Wen was worried about whether the four of them would be able to adapt to life in the Forbidden City, and he was afraid that something would go wrong with them and bring them back. It was still Xie Mulin who signaled Xie Huizhi here, and through Xiao Xu to inquire about the news from the Yanwang Mansion, he made sure that they were all fine and performed quite well, and the Wen family was relieved.

However, this is all a trivial matter, and the Xie family attaches more importance to it, but the people of the Yan Wangfu don't pay much attention to it. King Yan and Princess Yan have had too many things to worry about recently, and it is definitely not something that can be handled simply to welcome the Queen Mother—and maybe even bring the Four Princes—to meet the Queen Mother. There have been many years since a royal nobleman has descended on the boundary of Beiping, not to mention that this is still the biological mother of King Yan, and he himself desperately hopes to spend more time with his mother, so that his family can be more filial. In the past, he went back to the capital, but he never stayed for a long time, and most of the time he couldn't bring his wife and daughter. Now that the Queen Mother is coming to Beiping, there is a lot more time, and his wife and daughter also have the opportunity to serve the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother is also a person with spring and autumn periods, and he, the son, is no longer young, and after two years, maybe he will be a grandfather. Don't take advantage of this opportunity to reunite the mother and son for a good time, God knows how many years will it take to reunite like this next time? King Yan has been succeeded for more than 20 years before he has this opportunity. He was not confident that he could wait for more than twenty years.

Princess Yan also attaches great importance to this opportunity to be filial to her mother-in-law. Since she married King Yan, she has not fulfilled her responsibilities as a daughter-in-law in front of the Queen Mother. Once upon a time, when I entered the capital every few years, I also lived outside the palace, so it was impossible to wait in the near future. Moreover, although they are mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, they have already been separated by a layer in name, and they have become uncles and nephews and daughters-in-law, and many times it is not good to appear too close in front of people. But Princess Yan felt guilty about the Queen Mother, not only because she failed to fulfill her responsibilities as a daughter-in-law, but also because she failed to give birth to an heir to King Yan. Now in Xiao Rui's life experience, she also helped her husband and hid some truths from the Queen Mother...... This time the Queen Mother came, she had already made up her mind that she must do her best to make the Queen Mother live comfortably and happily in Beiping!

Since Princess Yan has made up her mind, she has to do many things as perfectly as possible. She has limited strength alone, and not everyone in the clan women in the side branch of Yanwangfu is reliable. Those who were close to Mrs. Xu, those who were dissatisfied with the royal step-prince's approach, and several families who had supported the other princes of the first emperor, were all excluded from this reception. King Yan and his wife have decided that they can't even do superficial work, everything is based on the safety of the Queen Mother and the Four Princes, and all unstable people and things can't approach the capital, just in case!

Therefore, Princess Yan can only call a few official wives who have always had a good relationship to help her, and the Wen family, who is close to each other and in-law, is naturally among them.

In order to make his daughter Xie Mulin accustomed to the affairs of the Yan Palace, the Wen family also took her with him by the way. The affairs of the family were temporarily handed over to the eldest daughter Xie Yinghui and the youngest daughter Xie Yingfen. Xie Yingrong had the intention to get involved, but Aunt Dajin was a little unwell recently, Xie Yinghui opened her mouth and sent her third sister to take care of her biological mother, and she was not allowed to interfere with her housekeeper's affairs.

The Wen family often comes to the Yan Palace, and Xie Mulin has also seen the mother and daughter of Princess Yan many times, so his attitude in the Yan Palace's Mansion is quite calm. However, there are many wives and grandmothers from other families, who know that Xie Mulin is actually Princess Yan's prospective daughter-in-law, and from time to time they use a few vague words to make fun of her. Although Xie Mulin felt that it was nothing, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed in front of Princess Yan and the county lord of Yongping.

I don't know if I noticed her embarrassment, Zhu Pei, the lord of Yongping, helped her mother Princess Yan to reconcile the accounts for a while, so she shouted that she was too tired and wanted to be lazy, and pulled Xie Mulin along: "Let's go for a walk in the garden?" Now that the weather is getting hotter and hotter, it's too boring to stay in the house all day and plan to do it! ”

The wives present all laughed, and some people turned to joke about the county lord of Yongping: "The county lord is also about to be a new daughter-in-law, and when he gets married, the Yuan family will have a big mess, and the county lord will be able to help his mother-in-law and mother-in-law." Anyway, sooner or later, you have to learn to settle accounts, and the sooner the county lord learns it, won't it be much easier in the future? ”

The county lord of Yongping stomped his feet and said, "Mrs. is not a good person! The wives laughed again. Wen laughed a lot, but he also laughed out loud.

Princess Yan followed for a while, and then opened her mouth to save her daughter: "Okay, Yongping is bored, let's go for a walk in the garden, and ask Second Miss Xie to talk to you." I had ordered the kitchen to make some roses, and they would be brought to you later, with fresh refreshments, so that it would be interesting to talk. ”

The county lord of Yongping hurriedly thanked his mother with a smile, and Xie Mulin also saluted and said goodbye to Princess Yan, Wen and the wives, and before he finished speaking, he was dragged out of the house by the county lord of Yongping.

The county lord of Yongping really took Xie Mulin to the garden for a walk, but he specially ordered the accompanying girls to stay away, she had a private thing to say to the second girl Xie.

Xie Mulin looked at the prospective sister-in-law curiously: "Is there anything the county lord looking for me?" Just say it, if I can help, I won't shirk it. ”

The county lord of Yongping squirmed for a moment, and then asked in a low voice: "My brother wrote a letter to you, right?" What did he say in the letter? Do you have...... Did you bring it up...... Speaking of Yuan Xie? ”

Xie Mulin blinked, and suddenly realized.

Yo, General Yuan Xiao didn't return as soon as he entered the capital, and the county lord of Yongping couldn't help but get sicksick, right?
