"Sister..."Yi'er interrupted Du Xiangyu's words and said, "Sister, do you know that the fifth prince of Yun and the young lady of the Dongshan Hou Mansion have already accepted the collection?" ”

"Nacai?" Du Xiangyu was stunned, "How is it possible?" That day......"

Feeling that he had missed his mouth, Du Xiangyu hurriedly stopped, but the words had already been spoken, how could Yi'er not hear it? So he smiled and asked, "What happened that day?" My sister also told my sister honestly, but who entrusted me to let my sister come to my sister to talk about it? ”

Du Xiangyu smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "I don't think this is a good thing." ”

"Who told my sister to tell her about this?"

Du Xiangyu sighed and said, "It's Miss Yun's family, she said that when she was in Beikaicheng, her brother, that is, Yun Wugongzi, had feelings for her sister, so let me, hehe..."

"Yun Yao?" Yi'er couldn't help but shake her head, this little girl is really... She didn't know what to say, so Zhengse said to Du Xiangyu: "Second sister, when I was in Beikaicheng, Yun Wugongzi met with me a few times, but if you want to say anything emotional, I'm afraid that Yun Yao's girl will lie to you by saying it, you also know that that girl and I are good, she wants me to be her sister-in-law, she has mentioned this matter several times in front of me, I didn't take it seriously, I don't want you to take it seriously." The second sister didn't want to think about it, what is the identity of the fifth son of Yun, how can he look down on a young lady like me, if he is really interested in me, I am afraid that he will let people come to the door to propose marriage as early as when he was in Beikaicheng, where can he wait until now? ”

Du Xiangyu was stunned for a moment, thought about it and felt that what Yi'er said was not unreasonable, and was a little depressed for a while, and said, "What can I do then?" Could it be that we will see the four rooms grow bigger, and when the time comes, we will be trampled under their feet and let them bully? ”

Yi'er smiled: "Things haven't happened yet, what is the second sister worried about there?" Moreover, even if this really happens, I don't think it's necessarily a good thing for Sifang. ”

"What do you mean by that, sister?"

"My sister also said before, behind the four rooms is the Weiqin Mansion, but as far as I know, the Weiqin Mansion and the Ningguo Mansion are two factions in the court, and they have been hostile to each other for a long time. Now that the emperor is in the prime of spring and autumn, the battle between the princes is still under the water, if in a few years, everything has variables, all the battles will turn from dark to light, and at that time, I am afraid that whether it is the Weiqin Marquis Mansion or the Ningguo Mansion, no one will be allowed to ride the wall and sway from side to side. ”

Du Xiangyu was completely stunned at this time, and his eyes towards Yi'er were more solemn, and he said half-loudly: "I always thought that the things outside the court had nothing to do with the inner courtyard of our deep house, and I just woke up after listening to my sister's words today." My sister is wise, I'm only convinced today, seeing my sister looking like a bamboo in her chest, I'm hiding behind my sister, what else is there to worry about? ”

Du Xiangyu stayed for a while and left, went to Zirui Yuan to set the province in the evening, and was pulled by the Lin family, and left Yi'er to use dinner before letting people leave.

In the middle of summer, maybe the weather is too sultry, the old lady is old again, her body can't bear the ice basin and uses it very little, so that Zirui Courtyard is a little hotter than other courtyards, and the old lady's body is also a little poor, people are tired of it, and there is no spirit.

The Lin family may have also heard about Du Jinyao and the Ningguo Mansion, after all, Yi'er is ranked third at home, Du Jinyao is ranked fourth, this sister is about to be married, but she, who is a sister, has not heard from her, which is always a little inappropriate in the eyes of the old man, so he changed his way to ask for more news from Yi'er's mouth.

Yi'er knew that the old lady was actually a good intention, her relationship with Changfang was not good, and she was even worse for Yi'er's family affairs, and she couldn't interfere, so she could only inquire more from the side and talk about comfort.

From Zirui Temple, she returned to Qiuxia Pavilion, and when she was halfway through, her Qiuxia Pavilion ushered in an unexpected visitor.

The wife of the second room, Wan, since Yi'er returned to Beijing, is just a superficial greeting to Ying'an, and there is not a word of much, so naturally she can't talk about friendship, but this night, the second lady Wan came uninvited and entered Yi'er's Qiuxia Pavilion.

Yi'er let people into the house, sat down, and let Qing Li personally serve tea, and then said with a smile: "The second aunt is a rare guest, since Kite returned to Beijing, this is still the second aunt's head back to Kite here, right?" ”

Wan said: "The second aunt heard that the third lady is good in the Ming Dynasty, and she has long thought about coming to the door to ask for some food." ”

Yi'er instructed Qingli to pack a big bag, Wan Shi happily let the maid take it, looked around, and said: "Third Miss, this yard is really exquisitely decorated, those calligraphy, paintings and antiques are genuine, how much silver does it cost?" Alas, my sister-in-law is Kuoqi, unlike my yard, which looks big, but it is messy, and it is full of worthless Xibei goods. ”

This person came to the door for no reason, of course Yi'er didn't think that she was talking about these gossips, and she didn't wait for Wan Shi to open her mouth at the moment, so she said to Qingli and a few maids: "You all go outside and wait, I want to say something considerate to the second aunt." ”

After the maids retreated, Wan Shi looked at Yi'er with some appreciation, and said: "Since the third miss returned to Beijing and entered this mansion, I have seen that the third lady is a clear and understanding person. ”

Yi'er said with a smile: "I heard that the third brother has been admitted to Xiucai a few days ago, and the future is unlimited, and the luck of the second aunt is still to come." ”

Wan has two biological sons under his knees, the eldest son Du Peng followed the second master Du Ziming to take care of part of the Hou Mansion's industry, but this person is not worry-free, a few days ago he went to drink flower wine with the fifth master Du Ziping, and was broken by Chang Hao, the son of Hou Shizi in Zhenbei, because of the competition for the Oiran, and he was afraid that he would have to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair. But Wan's second son Du Chang is a competitive and likes to read, and Wan has always been proud of this son, and Du Chang is the third in the house, so Yi'er calls him the third brother.

Seeing Yi'er talking about Du Chang, Wan Shi smiled on his face, but said in his mouth: "It's just a show, it's still very early, who knows if you can win the move in the future?" ”

Yi'er said: "The third brother is studious, not only in the middle of the move, but also in the future, it will be the title of the gold list, and it is not difficult to think about it." ”

The smile on Wan's face became even bigger, and he remembered the purpose of his coming this time, so he smiled and said, "Actually, I came here tonight not for anything else. Does the third lady know that the fourth room is already preparing to marry the Ningguo Mansion? ”

Yi'er said: "Where did the second aunt hear this news?" ”

Wan Shi said: "Don't care where I found out, in fact, at the birthday banquet of the prince of Ningguo last time, the county lord of Huayang behaved so obviously, which is enough to explain everything." The question now is, if Sifang really marries the Ningguo Mansion, how will the third lady and the eldest brother and sister-in-law deal with themselves in this Qingxiang Mansion? ”

"What did the second aunt say about this?"

Wan Shi glanced at Yi'er and said, "The third lady is an understanding person, and I don't go around in circles, what is the relationship between this long room and the fourth room, I'm afraid that no one in the entire Hou Mansion is unclear." Today's status quo is that the eldest brother is ranked among the six high-ranking officials, and the fourth room has won the title of marquis, which can be described as half a catty and eight taels, which is equal. But if Sifang and Ningguo Mansion are married, relying solely on the influence of Ningguo Mansion, what will happen when the time comes, and there is no need for me to say anything, the third lady will definitely be able to think clearly. ”

Yi'er frowned, still not understanding what Wan wanted to do, so she asked, "Then in the opinion of the second aunt, what should we do?" ”

"Split!"

"Separation?"

Wan nodded heavily, and said: "I know that it is unfair to Changfang to say this, but the facts are in front of me, if Changfang wants to snatch back the title of the Hou Mansion, it will be difficult to climb to the sky before, not to mention that now the fourth room is even involved in the Ningguo Mansion." So, since there is no hope of fighting for the title, I don't think there is any need for you to clash head-on with Sifang. I know that my sister-in-law has silver in her hand, and I don't expect this bit of interest in the Hou Mansion at all, since this is the case, why not go out and go alone, and don't have to look at the villain's face every day. ”

Wan is talking about the long house, and it is also like a complete look of thinking about the long house, but Yi'er naturally knows that if you want to say that in the entire Qingxiang Hou Mansion, who wants to divide the family the most, it must be the second lady, in fact, this is not difficult to understand, in the five rooms of the Hou Mansion, the second room and the third room are concubines, and there is no hope for the hereditary title of the Hou Mansion at all. Wan is just a concubine of Wan Liang, the left counselor of the province of Menxia, her status is not high, and the dowry is also the least among the concubines in the Hou Mansion, unlike the Zhong family in the third room, she is the sister of Zhong Liwang of Dali Temple, even if she also points to the share of the Hou Mansion to live, but after all, Zhong Liwang is relied on, and no matter how good the four rooms are, they dare not treat the three rooms too harshly.

Therefore, if it is said that the most popular interest in the properties of the Hou Mansion is naturally the Wan family in the second room, and the idea of separating the family has been going on for a long time, but the old lady Lin is alive, and she has already let go and said that she will not think about the Hou Mansion to divide the family one day, and the separation of the Wan family has been suppressed.
