+++++++++++++++++++ the dividing line of three wives and four concubines (IV).

Yang Fangji knew that her cousin was also going to Sanshao, but she didn't care, with the status of her father and brother in the court, if the Tang family wanted to make a choice, they would naturally value her. And whether it is her appearance or her demeanor, she is confident that she is much smarter than Yang Fangyue. Whether it is Mrs. Tang or Li Shi talking to her and asking about the old people in Beijing, she can deal with it appropriately, and when she mentions some interesting stories in Beijing, she can grasp the balance well, which can not only make everyone happy, but also lose everyone's beautiful demeanor. In the face of the expensive meeting gift, she is very well measured, which not only makes people feel that she likes and appreciates the kindness of the host, but also cannot show the transitional joy due to the high value of the gift.

In contrast, Yang Fangyue looked a little clumsy, first surprised her with a heavy meeting gift, and then thought that outsiders couldn't detect the snickering expression, obviously a small jasper who didn't have a lot of money and nothing good on weekdays. has no cousin's experience in Beijing, and is timid to answer, and is too shy and generous. This gave Yang Fangji another opportunity to perform, and she was quite protective of Yang Fangyue in her conversation, showing her deep sisterhood and distressed sisterhood, which also showed her bearing from a famous family. Li Shi looked quite satisfied with this, if it weren't for the fact that her father and brother's grade were lower, she felt that she could be a daughter-in-law for her son.

The visit of the Yang family was both expected and unexpected by the old lady Chen Biyan. She knew that after her daughter-in-law released her concubine, there would inevitably be more people visiting, but she did not count the Yang family, after all, the Yang family's unmarried daughter in Xianyang City was only Yang Fangyue, and it stands to reason that Yang Fangji would seek another family in the capital. And Mrs. Yang brought Yang Fangyue to her birthday, she was not interested at that time, so naturally she would not react to the hydrangea that Mrs. Yang secretly tossed. As experienced as Mrs. Yang, she should know that she has no intention of Yang Fangyue. With the arrogance of the Yang family, it is natural that they will regard this kind of indifference as a refusal, and it stands to reason that they will not do anything related to marriage again. At this time, after a conversation, the other party's intention was hinted at, and she felt a little bored, but no matter what the purpose of the Yang family's coming was, Chen Biyan knew that in this eventful season, she had to treat each other politely, so she patiently came out to accompany her. and also instruct someone to prepare a good meeting gift for the two girls. This gift can't be too precious, but it can make the other party feel that she doesn't have a bad image of the two girls, but she can't marry for other reasons, not because she looks down on them.

It's just that although Mrs. Tang said it verbally and gave a lot of gifts to the two little girls, she was not moved, nor did she say anything to give them any hints or further, just the classics of mountains and seas in the south and the north. After Mrs. Yang sat for a while, she felt that this matter still had to be explained, so she made an excuse to let Fang Yue and Fang Ji sisters go to the garden, and she said it to Chen Biyan more plainly.

However, what puzzled Mrs. Tang was that for such a good marriage, the old lady always talked about other things left and right, and did not answer the other party's topic. She wanted to interject several times, but was cleverly stopped by her mother-in-law. And the old lady of the Yang family showed her ability to be a talented woman at this time, no matter where Mrs. Tang led the topic, she finally had the ability to circle it back to the children's marriage. Mrs. Tang married Kansai when she was young and got acquainted with the daughter-in-law of the Yang family from the ancient scholarly Gu family in Kansai, and she knew her habit of perseverance and fierce pursuit.

Rao is like this, she also has to admire, Gu Shi's skills in this area have been perfected for decades. For this kind of old and innocent person, Chen Biyan would rather tell the truth, in her own words, to save some energy and drink good tea after telling the truth. In order to avoid more trouble, she simply explained the marriage of several brothers in Xintian at one time, that is, the elders of the Tang Sect did not make the decision, and they chose the person they liked.

"This thousand-mile marriage is a thread, it is yours even if you are separated by mountains and seas, you can be together, if it is not yours, you are in front of you, you think you can be together, maybe tomorrow you will go your separate ways. If the children really have a fate, it's up to them. ”

Mrs. Yang was not discouraged, but was a little moved: "Old sister, what people like us have paid attention to for generations is a rule, and I also know that the old sister feels sorry for the children, but this marriage still needs to follow the words of the colonial matchmaker of her parents." They know what they know at a young age, and they still need us to check for them. Since we look at the right ones, they will be suitable if they can be suitable. What do little children understand. As for liking, I can't agree with the old sister, Men like those demons and demons, but you and I are both from the past, and we should know that that kind of woman can't be the main room of people like us. In the main room, the elders still have to help him choose a dignified, stable and capable person to preside over the family affairs, who can shake the back house, and who can plan for him for his future career. As for the ones you like, the beautiful ones don't matter, it's a big deal that you can marry as a concubine in the future. ”

"I'm not worried about this, they have been outside for many years, my eldest grandson has taken over the family business for many years, as for the third child, you may have heard a lot about him, if you don't even have the ability to know people, he has been working outside for so many years. His original family affair was set by his elders, not only was it not a good couple, but it could also be said to be a bad fate. Speaking of which, as an elder, I feel that I have really treated this child badly, and I often can't sleep in the middle of the night when I think about it, so this second choice is up to him. If I can really pick a lovely one, I will be old enough to close my eyes. As for the concubines, here I will make a confession to the old sister, I don't want them to put too many women in the house. You and I are both from the past, and we know that there are many rights and wrongs in this place where there are many women. If the children are mixed in the women's pile all day long, how can they have the energy to do things for the court and take care of the family business? ”

"You mean to say it's up to them to choose?"

"Yes, let them choose. Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, if they have a good life, they can eventually meet what they like, if it is not good, it is their life. ”

"Don't take concubines either?"

"It's up to them to decide whether to accept or not. In short, you can't miss things for the sake of the backyard. ”

"I really don't know which girl is blessed, it is a woman's luck to have a hearty husband for life." Old Mrs. Yang also suddenly sighed, although she was born in the Gu family, but what woman is really willing to watch her husband continue to have women around her. Although Mrs. Yang is considered modest, she also has a flat wife and two concubines. She thought carefully about the heads of the Tang family, before Tang Wen disappeared, there was only one main room in the Chen family, and there was no other wife's room, Tang Lan's generation, although Tang Lan once had a flat wife, but now there is only the Li family in the main room, and the other brothers of the Tang family are all only full wives, so it can be seen that Mrs. Tang is not an excuse to shirk. Thinking of this, she hoped that her granddaughter could marry into the Tang Sect, even if it was not Xintian or Xinjie, as long as she was a child of the Tang Sect, it was estimated that she would not have a group of wives and concubines, so she licked her old face and spoke: "Old sister, you have said so, I want you to see Fang Ji and Fang Yue again." You have so many grandchildren, maybe there really is a suitable one? ”

"Old sister, you also saw me at my birthday banquet last time, just those monkeys. You also know the birthday banquet in those days, that is, let them see each other for themselves, and they still haven't told me the result of this old woman. Why don't we wait for this period of chaos to pass, why don't we invite all the talents in Xianyang City like the family in Beijing, and arrange some wine banquets and the like, so that they can look at each other again. ”

Here, Mrs. Yang is planning for the happiness of her granddaughters, and in the garden, Yang Fangji is also observing Tangzhuang without losing any time. Today, Xinyue and Meilian both went out of the Zhuangzi to run errands, and only one housekeeper took them around the garden. This area is the outer courtyard of Tangzhuang, which is relatively simple in layout, but it is magnificent. And the people in Tangzhuang seen in the courtyard seem to perform their own duties, and there are no idle and boring people, and the people who come and go to do things are brisk, and there is little procrastination and idleness. And these people are different from the people she has seen in other big families in the past, all of them are beautiful servants and servants, these people are tall or short, fat or thin, black or white, some are beautiful, some are fierce, some are gloomy, some are soft, each is different, but almost all of them have one thing in common, that is, stability, thinking of the attack on Tang Zhuang a few days ago, she secretly guessed that these people are all armed with martial arts. A manor, which can withstand the attacks of thousands of killers and dead soldiers, and the army assistance sent by General Wusheng of Xiying, did not even get a bargain, but only broke through the outer part, and did not even enter the village, this kind of force is not necessarily better than the city guarded by the sergeants.

And he is one of the masters here, although he is only a concubine son, but with his current status by the prince's side, and the current head of the Tang family, Mrs. Tang, authorized him to take charge of the family in the absence of the eldest prince, it shows that his status here is far from being insignificant in the eyes of outsiders. Only those who are shallow will think that he is a concubine and look down on him. She had fully understood what Mrs. Donald had just said in the drawing-room, that she would not influence his marriage, and she did not expect that her grandmother would not be able to convince Mrs. Donald either. The elders can't get through, so she has to find another way, always to achieve her goal. Looking at Fang Yue beside her, she didn't feel that she was an opponent at all, even if the other ladies in Beijing who were wrapped around him, she didn't feel who was the real opponent, except for the so-called cousin Bai Meilian, she made her a little at a loss, feeling that the woman was bottomless, this kind of woman not only made women unable to guess her, but also made his arrogant man want to possess her, but he didn't know how long his desire and interest in possession could last. I wonder what Princess Jingchen in the capital would do if she knew his current situation?
