Because it is almost the end of the year, there are more trivial matters in the Guogong Mansion, and when the county lord of Huayang returned to the house and began to deal with family affairs, he recruited Yi'er and the second lady Jiang Yuhan, and said: "The New Year is approaching, there are more things in the house, the two of you, one is the princess in the house, and the other is the eldest lady who is waiting to be out of the cabinet, so don't be lazy and idle, help your mother take care of some things, and it can be regarded as sharing your mother's worries." ”

The two of them were blessed.

There are not many heirs in the Guogong Mansion, so there is no separate order for men and women, under Jiang You, this Jiang Yuhan is the second sister, and next, it is the third young master Jiang Lihua and the youngest fourth lady Jiang Yuzhen from Aunt Bai.

Jiang Yuhan is from Aunt Mei, compared to Jiang Lihua and Jiang Yuzhen, in front of the county lord of Huayang, she has always wanted to have more face, but the fourth lady Jiang Yuzhen is still too young, and the county lord of Huayang only recruited Jiang Yuhan to help with some family affairs, but it is understandable. It's just that Yi'er is still a little embarrassed, Aunt Mei is a shrewd and capable, beautiful character, how can Jiang Yu really be assertive, cowardly, and submissive?

The county lord of Huayang obviously gave the two of them some insignificant trivial matters to deal with, but in fact, the people who took the idea and did the disposal were Yi'er, Jiang Yuhan just sat on the side, and many times he didn't say a word, it was Yi'er who asked, and she only answered, and it was all "sister-in-law is in charge." "Everything is left to my sister-in-law." …… Something like that. Yi'er had no choice but to let her go.

On the sixteenth day of the lunar month, a few tables of banquets were held in the Guogong Mansion, Yang Milling and Yuan Shi of the Xiangwang Mansion personally hugged the little Royal Highness Yang Yi out, and the nurse Zhou's mother took it over, and kowtowed to Yi'er and Jiang You, who were sitting on the main seat, and officially recognized this godfather, after noon, the emperor and queen in the palace sent the inner servants into the house, announced the reward, and canonized Yi'er as the second grade of Wen Yi Lady, since then, the old lady of the Guogong Mansion is the pardoned Mrs. Huaguo, and the lord of Huayang County is also Mrs. Ningguo, the ancestor and grandson of this family for three generations, there are two Mrs. Yipin, A second-grade lady can be described as extremely expensive.

In the court, Emperor Qiming finally decreed, His Royal Highness King Yang Ting of King Liang was appointed to supervise the Qincha, and went to Pizhou, Jiangnan to investigate the case of the tea ceremony transfer Yamen for consecutive years.

This means that Lord Liang is only afraid that he will have to spend this New Year on the road.

However, for Yang Ting, the prince of Liang, who has not received a serious errand for many years, he was entrusted with a heavy task by the emperor this time, which still surprised many people in the court, and they all wondered what the intention of the emperor's move was? It's just that although Liang Wangye received the emperor's errand, it was quite a bit of a salted fish turning over, but his biological mother, Concubine Lei Niangniang in the palace, didn't know what she had done, which made Emperor Qiming unhappy, but she was confined by Emperor Qiming when the New Year was approaching, which was even more shocking and puzzled.

Halfway through the month, Aunt Zhao and Zhao Xiangyu went to the Guogong Mansion to ask to see Yi'er, when they were in the Qingxiang Hou Mansion before, because of their identity, Aunt Zhao never went back to her hometown to worship her ancestors, and now she is out of the Hou Mansion, she wants to take Zhao Xiangyu to return to her hometown at the end of the year to worship her ancestors, Yi'er naturally has no objection to this, and called Lou Da over to prepare for the two of them to return to their hometown.

The 800 acres of food in Quzhou Mansion plus hundreds of acres of fertile land in Shangwa Village, which came to Shangao Village by 'taking and seizing', and finally Yi'er let Feng Lang divide it into five pieces because of the terrain, and found five Zhuang heads to be in charge, and at the end of the year, these five Zhuang heads have entered Beijing one after another, Yi'er has treated people together, so he found a time to meet in a unified manner, collected the accounts, and received various local specialties presented by five people, so that Qingli wrapped a red envelope, and rewarded it, and the five Zhuang heads were grateful and returned to Quzhou Mansion.

The spring of the coming year is the year of the three-year big exam, and although Yingu's younger brother Guan An is only eleven years old, he is very good at reading, and he has some talents, so Mr. suggested that he can test the water and take the exam. Yi'er was also happy for the Yingu family, and rewarded some silver coins, and thought that An's eyes were not very sharp after all, so she took a big vacation from Yingu and asked her to go back to Daoxiangyuan to take care of Guan An's daily life.

On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, Yi'er went to the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet in the palace with Jiang You. The banquet was full of real nobles and high-ranking people in Yundu, and the real power figures in power, but it was not the first time that Yi'er participated in such a banquet, and Jiang You was by her side, she handled it happily and generously, and she was at ease.

Speaking of this Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, Yi'er was slightly surprised that the Empress Dowager, who had not appeared on a formal occasion for a long time, also came out and walked, of course, this is not the point, the point is that the Empress Dowager has always been by the side of the Empress Dowager is Mrs. Huaguo, the grandmother of the Ningguo Mansion, it can be seen that Mrs. Huaguo and the Empress Dowager have a very good relationship, because of this, the chamberlain also personally came over and invited Yi'er and Jiang You to go forward and kowtow to the Empress Dowager and ask for peace. The old queen mother was also kind, and immediately beckoned Yi'er to come forward, holding Yi'er's hand to look left and right, and finally praised two sentences and rewarded the gold, silver, pearls and jade.

For no reason, Yi'er remembered her grandmother Yunping, the eldest princess, who was still on the East Mountain, and thought to herself that she was at odds with Mrs. Huaguo, and she didn't know if it was wrong with the Queen Mother?

At the banquet, another thing that attracted Yi'er's attention was Tan Chen, the prince of Dongsheng Hou, I heard that the young lady who was only a few months old in Dongshenghou Mansion was seriously ill, and Dongsheng Marquis Tan Zhiling took leave and did not come to the banquet, and the entire Dongsheng Marquis Mansion made a representative of Tan Chen. I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but the seat of Princess Liukun Rouyi, who was a guest in Yundu, was placed next to Tan Chen. After the banquet began, Tan Chen had a cup, and he drank a glass of wine, completely ignoring Princess Zoey, but this princess seemed to be interested in Tan Chen, and would talk to Tan Chen from time to time.

Of course, when the banquet was half-drunk, Princess Mingwei came to Yi'er with a bitter face, looked pitiful, hugged Yi'er's arm, and asked Yi'er if she could follow Yi'er out of the palace to the Guogong Mansion to observe the New Year. Yi'er knew that this lady of the sky was afraid that she was bored in the palace, and wanted to take the opportunity to steal out of the palace to play, so she had some sympathy, but what is the identity of this little ancestor, and where did she do it? Jiang You refused in official words, and Princess Mingwei pouted and walked away listlessly.

After the imperial banquet was dispersed, Jiang You unscrupulously took Yi'er's hand and walked out of Zhaoran Tower, which naturally caused people to look sideways and was extremely surprised.

After returning to the Guogong Mansion, Jiang Pei and Huayang County led the Guogong Mansion to worship the ancestors on the Mingde Building, and set up a table outside the Mingde Building, which was regarded as a family reunion banquet.

During the banquet, Jiang Pei asked the third young master Jiang Lihua's studies, and Yi'er knew that Jiang Lihua would also participate in the big exam next year. Jiang You, as the eldest son of the Guogong Mansion and the son of the family, will naturally inherit the Guogong Mansion in the future, so Jiang Lihua can only take another road to the imperial examination, but with a family like Ningguo Mansion backing behind, Jiang Lihua only needs to be a little brilliant, to be on the list, and to be admitted to the Jinshi, he already has no need to worry about the future of the future.

The second lady Jiang Yuhan is thirteen years old, and it is time to talk about the matter of Qian next year, Jiang Pei also asked casually, in fact, for these concubines, Jiang Pei is usually busy with political affairs, and he rarely asks, and the lord of Huayang County does not like to leave them by his side to serve as filial piety, so many times Jiang Pei is not even seen by people.

Yi'er left Du Yu to raise in the mansion, Jiang Pei naturally knew it a long time ago, when he went out of the palace and returned to the mansion at night, little Du Yu was making a lot of noise, Yi'er was a little helpless, so he took him with him, fortunately, because it was Chinese New Year's Eve, the queen mother thought of her good eldest grandson, and took the little highness Yang Yi into the palace, otherwise if these two little things were going to entangle people, Yi'er was afraid that she would be tired enough.

Jiang Pei's interest tonight seemed to be very good, and he teased Xiao Du Yu a few words.

Because it was a reunion banquet held after attending the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet in the palace, the hour was late, and before the table was over, there was a little son who lit a cannon battle fireworks outside the Mingde Building, Du Yu saw it, he was overjoyed, where could he still sit? I ran out of the building to watch the fireworks, clapping my hands and singing and dancing while watching, and the children's voices accompanied by the sound of the cannon battle were unusually clear in the night, and they spread far away.

Jiang Pei laughed and said, "Speaking of which, we haven't heard such an innocent children's voice in our house for some years. ”

Aunt Mei responded playfully: "Don't worry, sir, depending on the concubine, I'm afraid it won't be long before there will be movement here for the princess, and then the lord will hold his good grandson, listening to the milky little man humming, I'm afraid that the lord will laugh even more." ”

Jiang Pei glanced at Jiang You and Yi'er, and said with a smile: "Yun Niang's words have won my heart. ”

Yi'er blushed, hung her head and didn't answer, and the county lord of Huayang also said with a smile: "Although Wanming is a little younger, she is a steady person, and she has a very good relationship with You'er. ”

Yi'er was embarrassed, and secretly pulled the corner of Jiang You's clothes, wanting this guy to help solve the siege, but unexpectedly, this person opened his mouth and said: "Since father and mother are anxious to hold their grandchildren, then the son has to work harder." ”

Where did everyone think that with Jiang You's temperament, such an indecent sentence would come out in the end, and when they came to their senses, they all covered their mouths and laughed, Yi'er got up shyly, and said that she wanted to go out to see Du Yu, and she escaped out of Mingde Building, which caused Jiang Pei and others to laugh again.

Out of the building, Yi'er hugged Du Yu to watch the fireworks, little Du Yu looked at it for a while, then turned back to Yi'er and said: "Sister, sister, this fireworks are so beautiful, Xiao Yu wants to watch them with his father and mother, where are they now, why don't you come back to see Xiao Yu?" ”

Yi'er sighed, her nose was sour, and she pointed to the stars in the sky and said, "Did Xiao Yu see it, my father and mother watched the fireworks with Xiao Yu in the stars in the sky." Xiao Yu still remembers what her sister told you, as long as Xiao Yu is obedient and thinks about his father and mother every day, they will come back to see Xiao Yu one day. ”
