As Qing expected, since Jiang Zi sat on the throne of the capital, the Jiang family has become a top powerful person, and it has become a hot topic, and even the concubines of the Jiang Zi family are remembered.

When Jiang Zi was detaining his concubine, the Li family also ran to give a generous gift, and did not come back until after dinner.

After returning home, he said to the old lady: "The Jiang family is amazing now, and the people who come and go are all relatives of the emperor and the wealthy. I sat with Princess Chengyu, Princess Yujun, and my distant cousin, thinking that they were both noble and royal, and I almost couldn't raise my head. ”

Li said embarrassed words, but his expression was proud, "The concubine in the second room of the Jiang family, I have seen it from afar, it is good, it is okay." But people are lucky and blessed, they met Lao Tzu's promotion, and they were reincarnated well, so they actually married into the Rongguo Mansion. and my cousin who married into Rongguofu actually became concubines. How should this be called in terms of generation? ”

No one paid attention to her, and some only faintly agreed, but Li still gushed endlessly: "Mrs. Yongningbo is my distant cousin, but my cousin's niece has become a concubine with my cousin, this, this generation is really messed up----"

Li talked alone for a long time, and finally found that no one paid attention to her, and her heart was unhappy, and her face was pale, but she finally stopped saying how prominent her maiden relatives were.

Lin turned his head and asked He: "The sister-in-law's maiden sister is almost ready, right?" ”

He replied, "Well, it's over next year." ”

Lin said: "Can you be engaged?" ”

"It's already booked. It's a baby pro who has been ordered since childhood, and it was officially hired not long ago. I will have to marry tomorrow and later. ”

Lin smiled: "That's good, our family can drink happy wine again." It's just that I don't know where the third girl's in-laws are sacred? ”

He said lightly: "Qingchanghou is my future sister-in-law. /”

Lin made a fuss and said, "What, Qingchang Marquis Mansion? Ah, yo, this is amazing, the Marquis of Qingchang is a rare young man who is promising, and he inherited the title before the weak crown, and now he leads the errand of the governor of the capital of the five armies, and he is favored by the emperor, but he is a great lord. ”

Ruqing subconsciously looked at Li's and saw that Li's face was half blackened.

The life of a boudoir girl is ordinary and boring. In addition to accompanying the Li family out for entertainment, or the female guest going out to show a familiar face, most of the time is spent in the house embroidery, practicing calligraphy, and playing cards by the way.

The card skills of Rushan Rumei are very good, but the only drawback is that the two love to quarrel, and they blushed when they quarrel, which provokes Ruqing and He to be caught in the middle as peacemakers. For a long time, in order to be quiet and pass the time, I don't want to play cards with them anymore.

Now, the card players are replaced by the third sister-in-law Lin, the old lady, Ruqing, and the pot-bellied He.

The four of them, old, middle-aged and young, for several generations, were playing cards while talking about the latest popular gossip in Beijing, and the first thing was the matter of Jingwangfu.

One of Li Xiao's concubines gave birth to a concubine, although her biological mother was just a lowly slave, but she always added Ding to the palace, which can be regarded as a happy event.

In the hindrance of the disciples and prestige of the Jingwang Mansion, almost all the officials in Beijing went to the scene to give a generous gift.

The Fang family was no exception, and the Li family personally came to the door to give a generous gift. When I came back, I brought a piece of exciting news.

The concubine who gave birth to a son died, and Ruyan was divorced, while the other side concubine was beaten into Dali Temple to ask Dali Temple for guilt.

The reason, as if the death of the concubine, was killed by the side concubine. And Ruyan plays a role in adding fuel to the fire.

The main mother killed the concubine, the drama of the wife and concubine fighting, has always been staged in various families, the difference is that some families can cover it tightly, and it is a peaceful scene to outsiders. The Bijing Palace, however, did not have this ability, and the news of the concubine's death spread throughout the capital in less than a day. The Jingwang Mansion had no choice but to punish him if he wanted to hide it, so he had to punish him to show the majesty of the Heavenly Family.

That Concubine Liu is said to be the cousin and niece of Princess Jing, and Princess Jing is not soft and sent directly to Dali Temple. The indirect murderer Ruyan was driven out of the palace gate by a letter of resignation.

No one sympathizes with the fate of Ruyan and the concubine, and no one cares about the death of the concubine, and now, there is a new hot topic in the capital, Li Xiao, who has died of his wife, has resumed his bachelor, the fifth king of diamonds. The wives of various powerful officials in Beijing are all rubbing their hands.

Li also has the ability to tell stories, and a piece of gossip was suppressed by her, with ups and downs. Ruqing listened to it with taste, and was very grateful to the Li family, which greatly enriched her boring and boring boudoir career.

It's just that after being satisfied, I sympathized with Ruyan, and the concubine with the unknown surname, the men knew that their wives and concubines would compete, why did they still enjoy taking concubines?

After the gossip, the He family has entered the third trimester, and the whole house is ready to deliver the baby, the midwife with rich experience in delivering the baby has also been found, and the nursing mother has also been selected, everything is ready, just waiting for the birth of the new generation of the Fang family.

However, at this moment, Ruqing's market is getting better again.

On the hot dog days, Mrs. Xiang ignored the scorching sun and visited again, and Princess Jing also went along. This time there was also a thick Eli Lil, and the whole Fang Mansion was discussing, and it was estimated that Mrs. Xiang was really ready to give Ruqing a set.

Princess Jing was not affected by the restlessness of the family at all, she was still mediocre and luxurious, and her bearing was extraordinary, soft-spoken, loving and kind.

Li called all the three girls this time, Rumei looked at Princess Jing shyly and shyly, and Rushan waited respectfully and thoroughly, serving tea for a while, pouring water for a while, and personally getting seasonal fresh fruits for a while, which provoked Princess Jing to praise her more than once for being sensible and well-behaved, and quite a housewife.

And the real protagonist Ruqing was pushed aside instead, and could only stand there quietly, smiling shyly from time to time.

Li's face was uncertain, his eyes squinted at Rushan, and he stretched his voice and said, "It's time to practice your words at this time, let's go down." lest you delay your homework. ”

After the three girls left, the Li family put on a smile on his face and said to Princess Jing: "The princess is too polite, why bother to bring so many expensive gifts." ”

Princess Jing said with a smile: "I came to the door this time to discuss something with my wife. ”

*

The three sisters did not go back to the house separately, but came to Ruqing's freehand residence together, Rumei pretended not to see Rushan's elongated face, and only took Ruqing's hand and said: "Look at the boxes of generous gifts brought by Princess Jing and Mrs. Xiangjia, it is estimated that they are officially here to propose." Then he looked at Ruqing with a curious expression, "Although the Xiang family has a noble relative of King Jing's Mansion, how can a six-grade official match you?" ”

Ruqing glanced at Rumei lightly, thinking in her heart that if it was a prominent family who came to get engaged, it was estimated that Rumei would not be so friendly.

Rushan said with a smile: "The fourth sister is really blessed. No one cares about us who are older than you as a sister, but you, who are remembered at a young age. ”

Ruqing smiled gently: "These sisters are not married yet, how can I have my share." Mrs. Xiang is just a casual play. It can't be true. ”

"Really? Everyone brought such a thick Eli Lilly, and my wife was embarrassed to refuse them? Rushan raised his eyebrows and disagreed.

Ruqing smiled bitterly, the disciple of the Xiang family is indeed nothing, but Princess Jing personally acted as a matchmaker, and it is estimated that the Li family will not be able to refuse.

What's more, the lower level of the Xiang family, this can just save a low-marrying daughter's dowry, I believe that if you are as smart as the Li family, you should have an idea.

That night, when Fang Jinglan came back from the yamen, he saw Li shouting and calling him into Huayin Pavilion. When he heard that Princess Jing and Mrs. Xiang came to the door to ask for marriage, he couldn't help but be taken aback, "Then Xiang Jia is still not giving up?" ”

When Li Shi heard this, his face sank, "Why, the master still looks down on the disciple of the Xiang family?" ”

Fang Jinglan said: "It's not that I look down on it, but ---- Xiangjia and King Jing's Mansion are in-laws." If the girl marries in the past, won't she really be involved with the Jingwang Mansion? Then Fang Jinglan carefully explained the current interests of the Jingwang Mansion to the Li family.

Li Shi's face turned green when he heard this, and he exclaimed, "It's impossible, Jingwangfu is the uncle of the current saint, and the saint still wants to deal with him?" ”

Fang Jinglan sneered: "Why can't you?" How can you allow others to snore next to the couch? King Jing is indeed a figure, but the 200,000 border troops under his command have caused trouble for him. We don't dare to guess what the saint thinks today, but how did the Mu family fall, isn't it clear to Madame? ”

Li was puzzled, "The Mu family was accused of being corrupt and perverting the law, preying on the people, encroaching on people's land, and robbing people's daughters, so they were beheaded by raiding their homes." King Jing has always had strict family rules and strict military governance, how can he compare with it? ”

"Say you're ignorant and won't admit it. There are more powerful lords who are greedy and perverted the law, why doesn't the emperor send them down, but only the Mu family? It was not because the Mu family had a heavy army and had a high reputation that the emperor had to think of getting rid of it. It's a big deal. Fang Jinglan is accurate about the famous hall here. When the new emperor ascended the throne, his foundation was unstable, and he did not dare to make any moves. can only come step by step, first swallow the small shrimp and small fish that have little influence, and then gradually swallow the big ones. The fall of the Mu family is a reasonable accident. And whether the Jingwang Mansion can always stand can only depend on his adaptability and creation.

Fang Jinglan admits that he is not ungrateful, what will happen to Jingwangfu in the future, whether it will fall or prosper, this is not certain. It is possible to befriend it, but to master the size. You can persuade you, but you can only go so far. But he must not gamble with the fate and future of the Fang clan, so it is best to be conservative and not to be too involved.

Li Shi was frightened when he heard this, his face changed several times, and he muttered: "That Xiang's marriage ----"

Fang Jinglan said without hesitation: "Push it, let's just say that there are still two sisters on the top of the girl." The marriage of the sunny girl is not in a hurry. However, this reason seems to be a bit far-fetched, so simply, I said that the intercession girl and the son of the Xiang family did not agree. ”

*

Although the Li family was a little domineering in the inner house, the other party's order from Jinglan was carried out thoroughly, and on the second day, he sent someone to Xiang's house in style, and asked for the Geng sticker of the son of the Xiang family, saying that he would ask the master to solve it in the temple, and if it was together, it would be done, and if it was not together, it would be done.

As soon as the people sent out by the Li family went out, the backyard of Fangfu exploded, and some of the people felt sorry for Ruqing, and they were low to their disciples, and their family background was too thin.

But some people say that although the Xiang family is not as good as the Fang family, after marrying it, it is the nephew and daughter-in-law of Jingwangfu, and Jingwangfu is a real relative. Again, marrying a wife who is a serious child is much stronger than being low and small.

When the old lady heard this, she kept silent and only recited her Buddha. Lin took Ruqing's hand and sighed, but he also knew that her parents' fate was not worth it, and she could only hide it in her heart.

When He heard this, there was no movement, but a careful subordinate found that He's personal girl actually went out quietly through the back door, and she didn't know what to do.
