Years later, Jiang Yanming was promoted to the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, which made the Jiang Mansion become the focus of the capital. \[\]

Invite Li Danruo to come over the house post countless times, but Li Danruo except for a few family friends and have to entertain people, but rarely entertain guests elsewhere, even Jiang Yanming, also rarely entertain everyone, except for often quietly going to Sun's Mansion in the evening, accompanied by a few drinks with Lord Sun, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Li Danruo and Jiang Yanming are almost the same early and late return, Jiang Yanming went to the yamen, and Li Danruo took Mo Ge'er to the forbidden middle school to accompany the eldest prince.

The focus of Jiang Mansion was very attracted by Sun Xianggong's drastic personnel adjustment, this adjustment was almost concerned about every family in the capital, this seemingly mild change but with murderous aura, the fall of the horse was raided one after another, the capital was full of rumors, and no one paid more attention to Jiang Yanming and Li Danruo's family, until the beginning of autumn, this adjustment was gradually settled, but this turmoil outside the body and heart lasted until the spring of the seventh year of Qingfeng.

At the end of spring, the cigarette smoke in the Potai Temple, the bells and drums rang in unison, the solemn and neat chanting sound spread from the temple to the surroundings, Li Danruo and the Duchess of Sun Xiang Xing knelt on the futon in the Daxiong Treasure Palace, put their hands together, and prayed sincerely with their eyes.

The official family occasionally felt cold half a month ago, who knew that a few medicines were not good, but they became heavier and heavier day by day, and they couldn't get out of bed, Queen Liu was anxious to fast and pray by herself, and at the same time ordered people to burn incense and make wishes, Mrs. Xing begged from Queen Liu to pray for blessings in Potai Temple, and asked Li Danruo to come over to pray for blessings together.

The two bowed a few rounds, completed this round of prayers, got up and followed the governor monk to the back clean room to rest temporarily.

The governor monk sent it to the gate of the clean house courtyard, and Heshili stopped his steps, hung his head and waited for Mrs. Xing and Li Danruo to enter the courtyard, and took a few steps back and left.

Mrs. Xing let Li Danruo sit on the couch, took the tea and took a few sips, watched the girl-in-law set up a table full of snacks, and said to the girl-in-law: "Let's all step down, I will talk to Mrs. Li and take a break." ”

The girls and the mother-in-law responded, and the fat red glanced at Li Danruo, and saw that Li Danruo lowered her eyes, and took the girl's mother-in-law and retreated.

"Alas, Empress Liu is also miserable," Seeing that the girl's mother-in-law had retreated, Mrs. Xing leaned back on the pillow, pressed the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief, and sighed a little resentfully: "Look at it, the official family...... It's so sick, what is the urgency of the mother, I went to say goodbye to the mother, the mother's cheeks are falling, you see, what is the hurry. ”

Li Danruo held the cup in both hands, sighed, but didn't answer, Mrs. Xing picked up a piece of dim sum and took a bite, swallowed it slowly, and continued: "We women all have the same mind, and our family persuades our husbands to nourish their bodies all day long, isn't it all for their good?" This jealousy is not jealous, you say, what are we jealous of? Those concubines and maids are just objects, jealous of them, isn't that a big joke? persuade them all for their own good, alas!" Mrs. Xing sighed again: "Look at it, how can anyone listen to it?" The official family caught a cold, and he was still ......" Mrs. Xing covered her mouth with a handkerchief and coughed lightly twice, glanced at Li Danruo, and saw Li Danruo sipping tea with her eyelids down, and then said: "That Zhou promised to be a natural fox, according to me, Queen Liu should be beaten and killed with a stick, alas! Empress Liu is also too virtuous, and there have been many weeks in the palace that she promised to be such a foxy and smiling slut!"

"That's not what we should say." Li Danruo coughed lightly and said in a low voice, Mrs. Xing waved her hand and smiled: "You, what else is there to be cautious with me?" What can't we two say? Okay, okay, if you don't say it, you won't say it, if you say it, it makes people feel blocked, by the way, Mrs. Zhu Hanlin came to our house to talk, her little daughter-in-law, the same age as you, and a year later than you, got married, and now they have three children, why do you still have one brother Mo? ”

Li Danruo didn't expect her to suddenly turn to this topic, hesitated, and was thinking about how to answer, but Mrs. Xing smiled to herself: "If you hadn't given birth to Brother Mo, I wouldn't have been able to give birth to you." Li Danruo choked into his throat in one breath, hurriedly swallowed the tea in his mouth and swallowed it slowly, Mrs. Xing moved, leaned closer to Li Danruo, looked at Li Danruo and said curiously: "It's been several years since you came back to the capital, and it's not turbulent outside, why don't you hurry up and have another child?" Although Brother Mo is a brother, but in the end, a single tree cannot become a forest, and it is difficult to raise a single seedling, you have to quickly give him a few younger brothers, this has become a forest, and if there are more children, it will be easy to feed, and it will be the same,"

Mrs. Xing's words came to her mouth and swallowed back, but the words reached her throat, but she couldn't help but spit out again: "There is one more, let's not do it, I just told you, there is no waiter around your master, it is not suitable in the end, since this is said, I am not afraid of your dislike, in the end, this concubine can not have a son, but this concubine, there are a few nothing, when the time comes, it will only cost a few dowry silver, and we will not have a lot of that idea without silver." ”

Li Danruo was a little speechless and looked at Mrs. Xing's light green shirt, the Sun family has developed in recent years, and Mrs. Xing has also learned to be low-key and luxurious, and came to pray today, a light green shirt looks simple and simple, but if you look carefully, you can see that the dark lines on the shirt are broken into sixteen strands with silk threads of the same color, and they are embroidered one by one, just this piece of clothing embroidery is worth a same silk shirt, Li Danruo lowered his eyes, turned his fingers around the cup and whispered: "Don't hide it from Mrs. Say, back then, Mrs. Ning was willing to let me marry the fifth master, It is because the fifth master is willing to promise not to accept concubines in the future, and not to accept the house, otherwise," Li Danruo looked up at Mrs. Xing and said frankly: "Madam also knows that the fifth room of the Jiang family is a concubine, and later passed to the Yao family, this stepson...... The Yao family has a son-in-law, if it weren't for this, my wife wouldn't have let me marry at that time. ”

Mrs. Xing clapped her hands lightly and said: "I'll just say, when your Li family was so powerful, you were favored, how did you marry the fifth master, it turned out to be like this, that's right, people don't have faith, I don't know what it is, not to mention that this is the original promise of the family's oath, you are really blessed, it is the life of Wangfu, the life of a person, it is really not good to believe it, I tell you, when my family was a girl, there was a fortune teller ......"

Mrs. Xing is not a very shrewd and scheming person, in recent years, she has been praised for being pampered, and when she speaks, she has always only cared about her own pain, and she has become more and more talkative, and this topic has somehow flowed all the way to the fate, Li Danruo secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as she no longer entangles her with this good suggestion of taking a concubine, she can say anything.

“…… By the way, have you heard? I heard that the eldest brother's life is extremely noble!" Mrs. Xing talked all the way, and after talking for a long time, such a sentence suddenly popped up, Li Danruo was listening carefully and walking secretly, and was startled by Mrs. Xing's words, Mrs. Xing seemed to remember something, raised her hand and patted her forehead and smiled: "Look at my memory, you must know the eldest brother's life, I heard that it was Qintian's supervisor, and he said that it was the most noble life?" ”

"I haven't heard of this, you have to know that this kind of thing is known to the palace and the two ministers, but the eldest brother, as the eldest son of the emperor, is naturally extremely noble." Li Danruo responded cautiously, and was about to divert the topic, but Mrs. Xing stared at her and asked with a smile: "I heard that you enter the palace every day to accompany the eldest brother?" You've known Empress Liu since before? ”

Li Danruo was startled, looked at Mrs. Xing, and was a little stunned for a while, Mrs. Xing doesn't have many eyes like this, sometimes it makes people have a headache, this words, if you meet your heart, you will not be so straightforward to ask so simply, you must be tempted to test with words, she is not afraid of temptation, the soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth, it is not difficult, but it is a headache to ask such a straightforward question, and it is a headache to answer!

"Where did Madame hear that?" Li Danruo smiled bitterly, and Mrs. Xing looked at Li Danruo with interest and said, "Don't ask me where I know it first, I'll definitely tell you later, you just say, right?" ”

"It's also not, if you enter the palace every day, we can't sit and talk like this today, the year before last because of the eldest brother's disaster avoidance, I wasn't ordered to take care of the eldest brother for a few days, and then the mother let me have time to see the eldest brother, since the mother has words, we naturally have to obey, sometimes I hand the fold in to take a look and say a few words." Li Danruo had no choice but to answer clearly and vaguely.

Mrs. Xing glanced at her and smiled: "That's true, no wonder, I don't see you going out, I want to go to the palace." ”

"Where did you hear that, Madame? It's so untrue. Li Danruo chased after him with a smile, and Mrs. Xing said with a smile: "We told me before the father-in-law." ”

"Sun Xianggong?" Li Danruo's heart skipped a few beats, and the smile on his face remained unchanged: "Sun Xianggong is so busy, how can he sound this gossip?" ”

"Who knows, it was said that it was a little yellow door, he mentioned it to me, let me ask you, we said it to the public, if this is the case, it is a great blessing for your family Wulang, I heard that Brother Mo also went with you? With this friendship with the eldest brother since childhood, in the future, your brother Mo'er's future is terrible, I won't tell you, I'm still thinking about it, wait for the eldest brother to come out to study, see if I can beg the mother, let my eldest grandson follow the eldest brother to be a companion to read, my eldest grandson is smart and sensible, you have also seen it, and Mo Ge'er can also get along, how much better!"

The more Mrs. Xing spoke, the more excited she became, and she counted a few other families who were qualified to be the prince's companions, Li Danruo didn't dare to answer more, so she only responded vaguely, and tried her best to divert the topic.
