Early the next morning, the people from the Hou Mansion came, and to Shi Qingqian's surprise, two carriages came at once.

In order to implement the rhetoric of 'feeling unwell', Shi Qingqian did not go out to greet him, but only asked his subordinates to pick up the main room of the Hidden Moon Residence, and it was neatly arranged.

When they entered, the eldest sister-in-law and the third sister-in-law came in together with the eldest lady, and seeing that they were not overly anxious, Shi Qingqian was also relieved - it seems that they had asked things clearly yesterday, knowing that they were not really sick, but in trouble.

"Mother! The eldest sister-in-law, the third sister-in-law, why are you here together! Shi Qingqian greeted him with a smile, and greeted the eldest lady to the top seat, while instructing the subordinates to go and serve tea quickly, and find the best hair tip that Zheng's mother wanted to be collected by her.

"I'm not worried about you yet!" Sister-in-law Bai Shi spoke first, took Shi Qingqi's hand and touched her belly affectionately, "As soon as I heard that you were unwell yesterday, the eldest lady was afraid that her body would move, so I grabbed the girl you sent over to pass the word and asked her fiercely before I found out what the reason was." ”

Shi Qingqian was afraid of leaking the news, if Shen Shu married his daughter-in-law and had to rely on the Yue family to do things, he would definitely make people sneer behind his back, so he didn't dare to ask his subordinates to say more.

The eldest lady also rubbed Shi Qingqian's other hand and said, "But what you did was right, I was afraid that they would do such a thing before the Su family went to Beijing, hmph, since they don't want to be embarrassed and rub oil everywhere, don't blame me for insulting them!" ”

Shi Qingqian listened comfortably in his heart, and at the same time became proud in his heart, looking at the support of the prime minister's wife and the princess of the Duke's mansion, which are all first-class nobles, the Su family just occupies the capital of a shameless and some blood with Su Juan, except for these two points, there is no way to compare with his own family.

In ancient times, family background was really too important.

Shi Qingqian turned his head and urged the two sisters-in-law to sit down quickly, and then he sat down from the other side.

The third sister-in-law Peng's belly is much bigger than Shi Qingqian's, but the two of them are similar in months, only about two months before and after, she doesn't seem to be tired from pregnancy at all, and now she is too happy to come to the house, she praised Shi Qingqian's fruit tea several times, and also 'shamelessly' booked a few taels to her, wanting to take it back to eat.

Bai Shi smiled and said to Shi Qingqian: "Xiao Qi, originally the three of us were going to come to support you, but the second brother and sister were tired by the accounts over there in the Qilin Pavilion in the morning, and they couldn't pull away for a while, so I asked me to bring you a message, saying that if you want anything to eat, just tell her." ”

Peng nodded: "Now the second brother and sister in the family are rich, a few days ago I looked at her white jade ice bone lotus ornaments are very good-looking, I didn't expect her to give it generously, when I asked the official, he said that the ornament is less than a hundred taels of silver." ”

"Third sister-in-law, why do I think you are a bandit, ask for the second sister-in-law and come to me to grab tea and eat!" Shi Qingqian's face was full of impropriety, and he secretly smiled.

"I always bring good things to my family! Seventh sister, you are married so well, you are spoiled by the little prince, sister-in-law wants your flower tea, you have to be stingy! Peng pretended to be angry, but after saying that, he couldn't help laughing, which caused several people in the hall to cover their lips and chuckle, so unhappy.

In fact, although the Hou Mansion is a high-ranking family, but the rules are not tight, the eldest lady sits in this seat, and has already raised her temperament to be very tolerant and gentle, plus several daughters-in-law are good girls with good conduct and good hearts, she naturally will not force her daughters-in-law to stand by the rules.

The second and third rooms don't want to reprimand a few words, so that the daughter-in-law can recognize who is the mother-in-law, but after all, they don't care, and the men in the family want to ask their sons to sign their names with the eldest lady, after all, the fate of the relationship in the future. So they became frequent demons in the second and third rooms, but even their masters refused to help - the men could see clearly that the eldest lady was the prime minister's wife, and if her son and daughter-in-law could be valued by her side, it would be convenient to carry them in the future.

In fact, such a situation in ordinary homes is not so extreme, and the daughters-in-law in the rest of the rooms still take care of their mothers-in-law, but who calls the status of the big house is too different from the second and third rooms. Even the daughter-in-law's mother's family also wants to hold on to the big house first.

A few people chatted whimsically for a while, but the eldest lady still clearly remembered the purpose of her coming, and said to Shi Qingqian: "Er, a few days ago, I kept saying that you don't want to show the Su family a good face, but you don't want to, but it's good now, they are so nonsense, and they also accompany their dowry in, this is called helping the gang to abuse!" ”

added things to the Jingfu except for the necessities of life, and all the money was taken out by Shi Qingqian from his dowry alley. As soon as she wants to be a favor, Shen Shu does not agree with this matter, and she is not good at using the hard-earned silver of others, even if the two are already husband and wife; Second, he doesn't have the blood of the Su family on his body, and he fills it with his own money, and if there is really something in the future, it will be easy to turn his face - such as today.

"Mother, when the Su family first arrived in Beijing, you and I know what kind of people they are, but others don't know, they will definitely do a very good job on the surface, if I don't do it, I'm afraid it will make people say behind their backs," Shi Qingqian scratched his head, sat on the side of the eldest lady and said, "The prince is already very difficult in the court, and he is dug and calculated everywhere, and I don't want to make him bear some infamy." ”

Shi Qingqian sniffed, only thinking that he was so great, "Yesterday, the prince was going to enter the palace to take leave to accompany me to deal with this matter, I told him that the affairs in the palace are busy now, and he is even more limited, so I persuaded him to go out." Anyway, I have a mother, and two sisters-in-law are in charge, and I am not afraid of the Su family bullying me. ”

"Hmph, they dare!" The eldest lady snorted lightly, looking at Shi Qing's grinning appearance, her face was a little stiff.

"That's it, there is a mother-in-law and your two sisters-in-law," Peng patted her chest, holding a big belly and not delaying her exuding the high-spirited feeling of the Duke of Pingyang's mansion.

The Bai family nodded quite grandly on the side, "Xiao Qi, when will the Su family come?" ”

As soon as the words fell, the female envoy outside the room trotted in with her head down: "Princess, Mrs. Huo and the five girls from Jingfu are here." ”

Shi Qingqian raised his eyebrows with the people beside him, and coughed lightly a few times at the moment, which was too weak to look good.

These few people know why Shi Qingqian is dressed so plainly today, and her face is much whiter, it turns out that this girl has already prepared to pretend to be sick.

Peng quietly extended a thumbs up to her: "It's worthy of you." ”
