"Then you should understand the truth of the deep responsibility of love!" Qin Siyue (Long Xi) said lightly, "You just said, no matter if your wife is still Changbai, even if you are pretending, you can't teach outsiders to think that Emperor Taizong chose the wrong grandson-in-law." ”

Seeing that the other party was silent, Qin Siyue (Long Xi) said again: "Why can't you appreciate the grace of your grandfather, the old Marquis Shi stood and died at the gate of the palace, and which one of the people in the whole court was unmoved?

Xinglan couldn't help but say: "It's always my life that suffers, and I don't get the blessing of my parents' love for a day." ”

"Big girl, Mrs. is looking for you to go back!" Qin Siyue (Long Xi) was about to speak, and the maid in front of Mrs. Zhongjing came with a raised voice, and when she came to the front, she seemed to have just noticed the presence of the master's family, and hurriedly knelt down to ask for peace, "The slave is careless, I don't know that the Chitose ceremony is here, ten thousand sins!"

"Get up. Qin Siyue (Long Xi) said in her heart: What a talent!

Later, before her mother-in-law told her about today's events, Mrs. Zhang told her daughter: "As an older sister, be more tolerant of your younger sister." ”

Qin Siyue (Long Xi) sighed: "Today, she will not complain about my uncle and aunt in front of me, can Shi Hou and his wife bear the notoriety in vain?"

The answer, of course, is no.

There is a good saying: Uncle can endure aunt can't bear it! When I returned home and listened to the maid talk about today's past, Mrs. Zhongjing Hou was so angry that she ordered to go to the Baoling Hou Mansion to see her sister-in-law, and it happened that the Shi Ding brothers were all deliberating, and Mrs. Baoling Hou scolded her husband: "Our concubine does not cultivate virtue and marries your brother hard, and even her mother's family is affected! Tell me, how can I ever treat her badly with a bowl of water? Now I have a bad reputation for not caring for orphans......

Shi Nai's face couldn't be hung up: "She's a child, why do you care so much?"

"Uncle, don't blame my sister-in-law for being angry!" "Princess Chaoyun is the same rank as Banluan, and she has the responsibility of supporting the master's mother to feed the woman in the moderation, in case it accidentally spreads outside, what should I do with a few unmarried girls in the house?"

The folk customs of Confucianism are extremely interesting, not only the uncle and sister-in-law do not ask, but the younger brother and sister are also the nemesis of the uncle, the princess of Zhonglian has scolded the king of righteousness, contradicted the king of Zhongyong, and even the Yongtai emperor has been satirized by insinuation...... What is the reaction of these people? The only reaction is that they do not react! The reason is crude and simple: it is a brother and daughter-in-law!

The next day, all relatives and friends, including Mrs. Zhang, got the invitation from the Xu family.

Mrs. Zhang answered the post and quickly replied, and on the eighth day of the first month, she and Huang took Sister Qing, Hua Li, and Gu Xuan to the Baoling Marquis Mansion as guests.

Although the Xu family of a double marquis is not as valuable as the Shenlong General's Mansion, it is already considered a top door in the honorable pile, since the old marquis stood and died at the gate of the palace, the honor of the Son of Heaven has not been severed for a day, and the brothers have been transferred back to Beijing almost at the same time this summer, and it is obvious that they have appointments. It was with three relatives and six relatives who accepted the invitation to give face, and they all received more than a dozen orders.

The leader is naturally the younger sister of the Son of Heaven, the mother-in-law of Princess Chaoyun, the mother-in-law of the king of Zongjun, the prince of Yijun, and the princess of the country Gu Zhang.

Mrs. Dashi is the main family, and first blessed the female guests with a half-salute: "I invited all the distinguished guests to the house today, and I wanted to get a notarization for my reluctance, so I thank my younger brothers and sisters in advance!"

Everyone said "Mrs. is polite", and Mrs. Dashi opened the topic: "Since the unfortunate death of the first uncle and eldest sister-in-law, the grandson and uncle were entrusted by the first uncle to raise their daughter and nephew Xinglan, this is known to relatives and friends, and there is no need to repeat it!"

Xinglan's aunt Shi Tong's more than one laughed: "It's all thanks to the hard work of the two ladies, but they taught me to be self-conscious as an uncle." ”

Mrs. Dashi waved her hand: "This is our duty to be an uncle and aunt! Besides, the three festivals and two salutes in the house are not short of greetings to nephews, and my younger siblings and I both see it." ”

"Yes!" Shi Tong took out a seal from his sleeve, "I have brought what Madame wants, please take a look." ”

Under a curious gaze, Mrs. Dashi explained her original intention: "Now that my niece has promised to get married, we can count ourselves as living up to the trust of our ancestors, so I ask you to be a witness, and now Xinglan's dowry and business are now publicized." ”

Mrs. Zhang knew it in her heart, and said on behalf of everyone: "What kind of character you are, we don't know?

Wei Shuren echoed: "What Mrs. Gu said is very true, to say something rude, it is precisely because of her admiration for the loyalty and kindness of the Xu family that her grandson is determined to climb high and achieve the Qin Jin League. ”

"The in-laws don't have to be like this!" Mrs. Xiao Shi said solemnly, "Although the Ying Ling knows it, after all, we still have the private idea of guarding against market gossip. ”

Huang looked at Mrs. Zhang: "But it's a lot of good intentions, we should be fulfilled!"

Mrs. Dashi picked up a purse from the tray in the maid's hand: "This is the dowry of the deceased sister-in-law, and the same is also three copies, Shi Yiren just showed it for her mother's family, and now it will be compared in public, all of which are used by Xinglan to add makeup the next day!"

After the check was completed, Mr. Lady recorded a list of papers by hand, and Mrs. Dashi handed over the official stay to Wei Shuren: "My brother and sister-in-law are deceased, and the details of the dowry must be left in the Shi family. ”

Everyone praised one after another: "Madame is thoughtful." ”

"I'm ashamed to say that my younger siblings and I don't understand economics, and now the empty Hou Mansion is just barely making ends meet. Mrs. Dashi changed her words, "Even so, my younger siblings and I dare not wronged our niece, so we first scraped together 1,000 taels of gold as compensation for the poor management of my sister-in-law's marriage, and then collected a total of 20,000 taels of silver from the two mansions as additional funds, and I also asked your relatives to notarize." ”

Mrs. Zhang praised: "Even the daughter of her relatives is nothing more than that!"

The two Mrs. Shi signed the document by themselves, and taught the two families of Wei Shi to make a seal together, and the female guests present were all guarantors, and when the maid approached with the ink clay, Mrs. Zhang waved her hand: "Xuan'er, you come first!"

Gu Xuan is the representative of Princess Chaoyun, her weight is self-evident, and the two Mrs. Shi have expressed their gratitude to Mrs. Zhang.

Because of this, Xu Xinglan has in fact become an abandoned son of the Hou Mansion.

Qin Siyue (Long Xi) sighed slightly after hearing her daughter's story: "The old lady is bad! I brought Miss Shi to the mansion to fight in the ring earlier, and I didn't help her set a future, but now I don't enter the threshold of the Shenlong General's Mansion, but dislike the Xu family, which is good...... In the future, if the Jiaowei family finds the way, I don't know how sad it will be!"

Xia Lian said with relief: "According to the meaning of the slave, Miss Shi's future will fall on the new aunt, and the temperament of her mother's family and in-laws are second-class. ”

"I hope so!" Qin Siyue (Long Xi) smiled bitterly, "But I don't believe in this truth." ”

Xia Lian was about to answer, and Fang Zhou hurriedly came in and replied: "Master, there is news from the east, and the flower girl is red!"

"Huh?" Qin Siyue (Long Xi) was slightly surprised, "What's going on?"

Yuan was still worried that Hua Li would eat melons because of this, and was hesitating to go over to take a look, but the second report had already arrived: "Bao Er's grandmother has diagnosed a happy pulse!"

Qin Siyue (Long Xi) smiled slightly: "Sure enough, I didn't mistake her!"

is also a woman, Princess Chaoyun obviously stood at a height that Mu Huali couldn't climb, but she was also the daughter-in-law of the Gu family, and the little bit of her brother's daughter-in-law was not smooth and it was drizzle on her at best.

After the news of Hua Li's pregnancy spread, the first to react was Mrs. Gu, who suddenly instructed her granddaughter-in-law who was standing and waiting at the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet: "You all sit down, I have something to say." ”

Waiting for Sister Lu Yingqing to accuse and come to the table, Gu Lao Taijun first asked Qin Siyue (Long Xi): "I heard that the prince of Zhenla has asked for a decree to live in my court forever and submit to the kingdom, has Your Majesty been gracious?"

"Yes," Qin Siyue (Long Xi) replied, "This prince of Zhenla was originally the concubine of the princess of Zhenla, because the mother family moved south at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and has always admired Confucianism. ”

Gu Lao Taijun asked again: "The sage intends to marry Mei Jun, but is it confirmed?"

Mei Jun's face was red and red, and Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) replied behind the screen: "This crown prince has a good character, but he is a little stupid, His Majesty issued a decree to confer the post of general of Zhennan, and add it to the righteous duke, with the same rank as the prince, and the Internal Affairs Office has already chosen the place to choose a mansion for him...... I am afraid that the matter of marriage is difficult to be rejected by divine grace. ”

Old Taijun Gu and Brother Gu Yin both remembered: "The Holy Emperor is gracious!"

Qin Siyue (Long Xi) then made a favor: "If the old lady and the second old man and the second wife have no objection, how about I enter the palace to settle this family matter tomorrow?"

Gu Zhenglian claimed to be grateful, and the Huang family also had Danqi's guidance, so he asked Gu Laotaijun for instructions: "Although it is a fanbang, after all, it is the princess of a country, and you can't take away the good intentions of the saints. ”

Old Mrs. Gu nodded: "Tan girl, don't kowtow to your wife yet." ”

Sister Qing helped her sister-in-law up and smiled: "But it's okay! ”

The unpleasant followed. Old Taijun Gu turned his head and instructed Amber: "It's all flesh and blood of the family, there are not many taboos, just remove the screen!"

Qin Siyue (Long Xi) was a little surprised in her heart: What kind of stage is this old lady going to put on?

Gu Lao Taijun opened the conversation: "I am seventy-eight years old this year, and now my body is still strong, and I can't eat the anger of my children and grandchildren, I think I can still watch Kui'er marry a wife and have children to be the grandmother of the fifth generation, although so, after all, the world is unpredictable, and some things have to be explained as soon as possible!"

"Old lady!" Gu Yin said first, "My son is going to serve you until you are a hundred years old." ”

"After all, I'm afraid of what happens!" Old Lady Gu smiled, "You can only be happy according to my wishes." ”

Gu Zheng echoed: "Please ask my mother to tell me." ”

"I have been married into the Shenlong General's Mansion for fifty-eight years, starting from my great-granddaughter-in-law, and now I also have a great-granddaughter-in-law to serve, which can be regarded as enjoying the blessings of taking care of the family, and there is no place to be dissatisfied when I see you gathered together. Recalling the past, Gu Lao Taijun followed and said in a speech, "But since ancient times, there has been a truth that trees have big branches, Mei Jun's life has been decided, and Bufan is also a person who wants to be a father, so I simply divided the family before I closed my eyes, so as not to make jokes about right and wrong outsiders in the future." ”

"Old lady!" Huang's voice was distorted, "How can there be a reason for the old mother to separate the family from the cousins?"

Gu Yin hurriedly said: "Old lady, how can you say this? But the son and daughter-in-law are not satisfied with their service?"

Mrs. Gu waved her hand: "I have already told you that this is what I mean, and if I can respond, it will be considered filial piety to me." ”

Mrs. Zhang still advised: "Old lady, what the second aunt said is that if the family is really separated, those who don't know will be our children and grandchildren who are not filial and brothers are not in harmony with each other, and the voice of the family is very hindering." ”

"It's okay!" Gu Lao Taijun explained, "I'm not confused, there is still a princess here, even if the old sage and the master Niangniang ask, you have to give me two points of decency." ”
