Volume II-20 The Princess Arrives (I) (II)

The princess arrives (below)

"What's the matter with me?"

"The third brother really didn't realize it? Everyone says that your Yuehuaxuan is not under the Ping An Inn every year, and I have heard people say in the past few days that Aoki Club is not just a tea house business, and the annual income is noisy. How many women are scrambling to squeeze in front of you, not for money? Now that the third brother wants to settle down, he should still find someone who is innocent, everyone knows the roots, and loves you, not your money. ”

"Where did the princess come from?"

"The third brother is a man, he doesn't deal with the backyard, he doesn't know a lot of things, and you are not at home all the year round, no one has told you about the past few years, and it is easy to be deceived by others."

"You say I'm being deceived?"

"Isn't it? Everyone knows that the girl from the Bai family was poor and white when she first came here, and she planned to seduce Xintian when she came, if it weren't for his wife's attention, she wouldn't have a chance to do it, Xintian was afraid that she would be fooled. Now that the third brother is back, she takes advantage of the fact that his wife is not very free to do it. The third brother is considered to be a person, it doesn't matter if it's playing, if it's serious, the third brother should think about it carefully. ”

"Who are you listening to when you say this?"

"Who else should I listen to? A discerning person will know it at a glance. She is an orphan girl, what can she have? How could it be if it wasn't for the means? ”

Xinjie looked at her and didn't speak, Jing An stood up and grabbed his arm: "Third brother, I have known you and Xintian since I was a child, and you are brothers in my mind." If the prince's brother is the elder brother, and the third brother is also the elder brother in Jing'an, how can I think that you will suffer? ”

"I understand the kindness of the princess, and as for what kind of person Lian'er is, I believe I know better than others. I also hope that the princess will not listen to others, so as not to be taken advantage of. If you have ulterior motives, the princess might as well inquire more and listen to what the people in and out of this Tangzhuang have to say. Don't just listen to people with ulterior motives. The princess is a smart person, if this matter is elsewhere, the princess may be easy to separate, but as the saying goes, if you care, you will be messy, and when it comes to the eldest brother, it is inevitable that the sister-in-law will be easily deceived. I can promise you that Lian'er has no thoughts about her big brother that she shouldn't. Like me, she wants to see her brother and sister-in-law achieve positive results. ”

Is it? That woman has no idea about the New Heaven Society? Jing An felt that if she was not a princess and didn't worry about money, if she was in the same situation, could she not plan for these things? She wasn't sure she could do it.

After Xinjie left, Mrs. Tang said to Fang Yan: "You have been here for a few days, there are many things in this family, and I don't have time to entertain you well." Mother Qu, go and let people pass on the new strong daughter-in-law. After a while, your sister-in-law came, and I told her to accompany you to the city for a few days, to buy things and make some new clothes. This little girl is always bored in the Zhuangzi. ”

"The old lady is too worried, it's good for me to live here." Xindao You let me go to the city, how did I see Brother Jie? A well-behaved and docile face: "I heard that the old lady is the wisest person, and Fang Yan wants to accompany you here more and listen to your teachings." My aunt also said that she has been with her uncle all the year round and has not honored you well, so let me take good care of your old man for her?! ”

"It's been hard for your aunt all these years. My wife doesn't have much wisdom, but she's seen more things than you young people. When people are old, they only know how to have children and grandchildren be happy, and they don't think about anything else. The affairs of this house are left to my wife and their brothers. ”

As she spoke, she asked some about her situation on Gannan Road back then. Fang Yan said about picking up Coke. Chen Biyan also listened happily on the surface. If you want to say that you are smart, this kid is not bad, and it is said that his martial arts are quite passable. If it weren't for her calculating Xinjie, it would not be difficult to stay in Wabao Village and have a disciple of the Tang family with a side branch. It's just that this mind is not right, Chen Biyan is a little regretful.

At one moment, the new daughter-in-law came in. On the way to her, the mother-in-law told her that the old lady asked her to take Fangyan into the city. For this sister-in-law, Xinqiang's daughter-in-law had never seen it before. It's just that I've been here for the past few days, and I've just met, and I don't have any deep friendships. The second lady of the mother-in-law sent a letter, asking her and Xinqiang to help Fangyan marry into the Tang Sect no matter what, although she did not explicitly say that it was Xinjie, but it also pointed out that it was best to marry the brother of the uncle's family. Xinqiang had already discussed with her, This matter is difficult, there are three uncles, the eldest brother must be Princess Shang, Xiao Jiu is also looking for someone in Beijing according to Mrs. Tang's intentions, only the third brother is left, it is the old lady who acquiesced to the white girl, not to mention that the relationship between the two looks good, and the talented woman looks like a good match. And Xinqiang has had a good relationship with the third brother over the years, and he has nothing to do with Fang Yan, and he is not willing to offend the third brother for such a cousin. The white girl is capable at a glance, What has happened to this Baicaotang over the years, most of Xinqiang knows, in the past few years, the white girl's ability is not clear to others, but he knows a lot. Not to mention the big families in Xianyang City, the girls trained by famous families, even the princess and county lord taught by the palace master did not necessarily have her talent. Where can Fang Yan be able to reach a little bit. It's normal for grandma and third brother to choose her, and everyone with a brain will choose her.

Other brothers, Xinyang has been in the capital for a long time, Xinyuan Xinwang often returns to Tangzhuang, although not as outstanding as the three brothers of the uncle's family, but they are also among the best figures outside, all of them are wandering outside, and they all have their own ideas. Although Fangyan has a bit of beauty and a lot of dowry, but in the eyes of the Tang brothers, it is really nothing. After discussing with her, Xinqiang decided that Fangyan would make trouble by herself, and they would try not to get out of the way.

Now they are reluctant to take action directly, but they can't go against the will of the second lady, the old lady nodded temporarily, and Xinqiang went out to do errands again, She really couldn't make up her mind for a while.

Entering the old lady, Chen Biyan said this to her again, and the new daughter-in-law glanced at Fang Yan, obviously the little girl was not happy. This kind of thing, if it is left on other little girls, it will be exciting to look at this time, Tangzhuang is a place to live at home, not to mention that Fangyan likes to be lively, that is, Xinqiang's daughter-in-law has been married to Tangzhuang for so many years, and still feels a little lonely, Every once in a while, I like to go to the sisters' house in Xianyang City to visit the door, or go back to her parents' house, or let Xinqiang accompany her around the market. At this time, the sister-in-law couldn't see half of the joy, calm as water, and knew at a glance that she was not here now. She said, "I'm afraid it won't work in the past few days, I really can't leave." In the past few days, Zhuangzi from all over the country happened to come to hand over the New Year's goods. It has arrived one after another, and then according to this year's example, we have added things to give to each clan brother to share the New Year's goods, and there are many festivals for relatives and families, and various things for our own family during the New Year. The day before yesterday, my wife also asked me to take care of the porcelain and family banquet for the New Year this year, saying that she couldn't take care of these things because of the princess recently. The arrival of this princess really keeps my aunt very busy, and she has to help take care of Fangyan, so it is only right for me to take over these things. If the girl is really bored, I will send a few careful mothers-in-law to follow, and go to the city early tomorrow morning, and return to Zhuangzi in the afternoon. ”

This new daughter-in-law has helped Mrs. Tang take care of some trivial housework since she got married, and it is reasonable to bring these up now.

"That's fine, I'll go around the city early in the morning, and if you like anything, just come back and talk to your sister-in-law."

Chen Biyan also knew that she was a little embarrassed about her daughter-in-law, on one side she was her mother-in-law, and on the other hand, she didn't want to offend anyone. Then let her go out for a walk, and go out one day at a time. Chen Biyan felt a little breathless, If this was an outside matter, she would have solved it three or two years earlier, In this family, for the sake of the second child, she had to worry more. The second daughter-in-law is more shrewd than Mrs. Tang, and has some means, but she is also a little childish, especially selfish. Fortunately, she followed Tang Wei in office all these years, and if she turned in front of her every day, she would not be annoyed to death. Although Mrs. Tang is a little precious at times, she will not be angry with others for too long. The second daughter-in-law is too thoughtful, so she has to pay attention to it. Back then, she was too attentive to the foreign affairs of the Tang Sect, so her mother-in-law took advantage of the loophole and took it upon herself to find a daughter-in-law for her sons, which really achieved her old man's purpose and added to her Chen Biyan's blockage. One or two are not worrying.

Looking at the mother-in-law's smiling face, occasionally casting a thoughtful glance, Xinqiang's daughter-in-law secretly tightened her heart, which looked kind on the surface, but in fact, the old lady didn't like it, but people just kept her face. In the end, the old lady has the final say in this family, and Xinqiang has been in the business at home all these years, but as soon as Xinjie came back, Xintianyi went out and handed over the decision-making power of Baicaotang to Xinjie instead of Xinqiang. Although the ability of his husband is indeed not as good as those two, it is also related to their shamelessness in front of the old lady. And this is shameless, and part of it is also that the second wife is always tired by making some small movements below. If the old lady is disgusted with her granddaughter-in-law for these things, it will be even more difficult to please her old man in the future.

So she hurriedly said: "Look at my memory, my sister who married into the Zhou family sent me a post before, saying that she would hold a group poetry meeting at her house in the future." invited a lot of friends and family members in the city to make friends with her, as well as the students of Luming Academy, I want to get together while the year is over, and after a while, it will be the New Year, and we will get together again in the spring, and the new moon has also received a post. Tomorrow, let Sister Xinyue and Fang Yan go to the city together, and stay in the old mansion at night, I am busy with the day's work, rush over to the evening, and accompany the two sisters to the Zhou Mansion the morning after tomorrow. There will be the Ding family the day after tomorrow, and there will be the Zhuo family five days later. The new moon also received the post. Originally, I only planned to go to the banquet in Zhou's Mansion to see my sister, but the latter few families didn't go because the family was too busy to come. It's better to let my sister live in the city with Xinyue for the past few days, and the two little girls also have company during the day, and on the day of the banquet, if I'm done with things here, I'll go over and accompany the two sisters out. At that time, even if I can't keep busy with these houses, it will be the same for Xinyue to accompany my sister. Crescent knew them well. ”

"You don't have to bother Sister Crescent." Actually, the truth is that I don't know her well, and what's the use of her company? But you can't say that: "I went to see her the day before yesterday, and she seemed to be very busy, helping her wife to take care of the New Year's gifts to the maids-in-law's houses. ”

"That's just that Mrs. wants Xinyue to practice more housekeeping, it doesn't matter if she does it or not, Mrs. has already prepared it." Push out the new sister to accompany her, that is the second lady's own daughter, Fangyan's cousin, don't ask her about her sister-in-law who is separated by a floor.

"It's going to be the end of the year, and my sister and sister-in-law are very busy, so don't run back and forth for me. What's more, my wife also invited me to teach my mother, and I still have some etiquette to learn during the day. ”

"It doesn't matter if you don't go shopping or anything like that, it's just that these are worth visiting. The eldest prince of the Zhou Mansion is still your Luoyang prefect. Not only because my sister married into the Zhou family, but the third brother and the eldest son of Zhou also have a very good relationship, so I have to go to the banquet of the Zhou family. It just so happened that my sister came, so she went out with us to take a walk and get to know some of the boudoir sisters. ”

Fang Yan knew that this was referring to the home of Zhou Zhifu, and I didn't know if the third brother would go.

Seeing her hesitation, Xinqiang's daughter-in-law added another fire: "The old lady of his family has started, and this group of poems will be held every year, inviting all the sons and young ladies who have made friends and talents in the city. Several of my brothers should have received the invitation. If there is time, it is estimated that he will give the Zhou family face to go for a walk. ”

"When you go, bring ten catties of the pear wine that came in from the previous warehouse to Grandpa Zhou. He especially likes the wine brewed in our southwest Zhuangzi, the harvest there was not good in the first two years, and he didn't do it, but this year he just made some, and everyone drank it happily during the festival. ”

Xinqiang's daughter-in-law hurriedly agreed, which she particularly admired the old lady. The Zhou family is a famous family in Xianyang Scholar's Sect, but it is not comparable to the Tang Sect. However, the old lady of the Tang family can be a person, and the likes of these people who have relationships with distant towns and neighbors are remembered, and there are also things that are willing to be sent over, which makes people feel comfortable, as if they are really close to people. The Zhou family looked down on their sister because of this, which also made her a junior.

At this time, Fang Yan also suddenly opened his mind, to gain a foothold in the Tang Gate, and the relationship between the inside and outside of the Tang Gate must also be taken care of. This mistake in Baihuatang is also because my mother is too arrogant in ordinary days, disdainful of associating with those poor women, and misses a lot of opportunities and information. If they could mess with those people and report more information, maybe when Xinjie went to Baihuatang two years earlier, she would have been able to get close to him. It's a little late to realize, but there's still a chance to make up for it. And these people are good friends with Brother Jie, and they invite talented sons all over the place, which naturally includes Brother Jie in it, and he may also go. And the lady is said to be very seriously injured, and it is estimated that she will not be able to go out. Thinking about it like this, she felt happy again.

"Now that it's done, tell Crescent Moon that tomorrow let the two of them go into the city and stay in the city for a few more days. After all these banquets, I came back. If you don't go, help them prepare the gifts that each family will give to their elders. ”

"Let's not go to the city tomorrow, let's prepare at home, and go out with my sister-in-law the day after tomorrow." If my sister-in-law goes to the banquet later, we will follow, not go, I will go directly from the Zhuangzi with Sister Xinyue, so that my sister will not have to push off the housework that my wife takes care of her. ”

"It's a cold day, my sisters are running back and forth hard, and the old lady feels sorry for you." Xinqiang's daughter-in-law doesn't want to take them out every day, and she is trying to find an excuse not to go to the next few houses.

"No, I won't be left behind in the etiquette study that my wife arranged for me. Sister Crescent Moon can also finish what her wife told her. ”

With all these words, Chen Biyan is not good at saying anything. Today, Xinjie explained everything in front of her face here, and she has arranged everything she should have arranged, if there is any moth, she can't blame her for not saving face for the second daughter-in-law at that time. Thinking about it, let the new strong daughter-in-law retreat with her face, she still has a lot to do, don't waste her mind for these trivial things.
