The next day, it was the day of the marriage between the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Marquis of Pingnan, the second lady took her daughter-in-law to the banquet and sent Zhou's mother to pick up Yunzhi, Zhou's mother returned in vain, saying that the girl was uncomfortable and unwilling to go.

But not long after the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went out, Yunzhi took two cousins-in-law to Prince Sheng's mansion as guests, and the two cousins-in-law came to greet Princess Min on behalf of their aunt, and Yunzhi naturally came to find help.

It happened that Yao Nian accompanied the old lady to worship the Buddha today, and the three sisters reunited after a long absence and got together again.

Yunzhi said: "My eldest sister's body is getting better and better, and her diet and lying down are no different from ordinary people, but her spirit is still abnormal. ”

Zhu Rong also mentioned these words to Fuyi, she had told the princess yesterday that now she and the princess are still guarding the big secret, and even Yao Nian, who is her own daughter, does not know.

But Yao Nian avoided Yunzhi, but said to Fuyi that when she was in the palace, there was a night of martial law in the palace, and she lived with the queen, and the palace people in the palace said that they had never seen such a formation in the palace.

"I thought, maybe the emperor found out the traces of his father and brother, and he was scared." Yao Nian said, "But I don't dare to tell my mother, for fear that she will be disappointed if she has hope, and I can't stand it in my heart, so it's better not to know." ”

Fuyi was sandwiched between two secrets, although she was not embarrassed but felt very sorry for the mother and daughter, and she remembered another important thing, talking about the koi pond in the Kishu Palace.

"Fang Caiyunzhi asked me, and I said that I didn't see the strangeness in the letter, and she was very sorry, but that's it, don't get her involved." Fu Yi said to the county lord, "Actually, I have been to see it, everything is fine, the steward said, it is only in the past summer in order to make you happy, only a few carp were stocked, and it is just a small lotus pond on weekdays." I don't know what the county lord wants me to see, so I can only tell you what I have seen and heard, and there is nothing else, so I can't really help. ”

Yao Nian said: "It's okay, everything is fine, if there is that day, you will naturally know what I am worried about, otherwise, it will be a disaster if you know." ”

As she spoke, Yun Zhi returned from her hand, and the servant who followed her into the door said that the Prime Minister's Mansion had sent a banquet and cakes and sweets, and the girls met here, should they be sent for them to enjoy.

The three of them are not gluttonous, so naturally it is not uncommon for the Prime Minister's Mansion to send things, but Yunzhi also has to take care of the two cousins-in-law, so he had to leave early today.

Fuyi and Yao Nian sent Yunzhi to say goodbye to the princess, and the one who didn't want to come today to send the banquet noodles and candy was actually Sun Min Yanshi, the head of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The three of them couldn't avoid it, and they could only see each other generously, Min Yanshi was even more polite, and looked at Yunzhi quietly, her expression was peaceful, and she seemed to have let go of those feelings.

However, even in front of her innocent nephew, the princess was still cold and unceremoniously, "You don't have to send anything more, I understand it." ”

The relationship between the two governments was already bad, and Min Yanshi was not surprised by her aunt's attitude, and after bowing and retreating, she left the palace before Yunzhi.

When Yunzhi and the two cousins-in-law came out again, the carriage and horses of the Prime Minister's Mansion had gone without a trace, and they helped her to get into the carriage, the sisters looked at each other, and Yunzhi smiled faintly: "It's okay, it was originally a joke." ”

Fuyi didn't say anything, watched them go away, turned around, and saw the county lord's gaze slowly sweeping everything around, as if looking for someone, and then turned around in frustration, forgetting Fuyi for a while.

"County Lord?" Fu Yi followed, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Yao Nian came back to his senses and smiled faintly: "It seems that the emperor has sent someone else to monitor us, and Mu Kaijiang has been replaced." ”

"Open the frontier?"

"Didn't Zhu Rong tell you?" Yao Nian said freely, "I thought he would say anything to you." ”

Just when Yao Nian told Fuyi about the matter between her and Kaijiang, the carriage and horses of the Duke's Mansion gradually caught up with Min Mansion and his party, and it turned out that Min Yanshi's car was pulled out and stopped in the middle of the road, and the next person was hurrying back to the mansion to pull the carriage again.

The Zhu family and his entourage stopped, and the subordinates politely greeted each other what was going on, Yunzhi picked up the curtain and looked at it, and listened to his cousin-in-law say on the side: "I have long heard that the first son of the capital, he is really outstanding, and his temperament is different from the third cousin, but they are all excellent, and it is difficult to distinguish them." ”

Yun Zhi listened quietly, and her cousin-in-law suddenly asked her: "This Min Gongzi, have you ever been married?" ”

Yun Zhi shook his head: "The Prime Minister's Mansion said that his birthday is eight characters, and it is not appropriate to marry early." ”

As he spoke, the carriage moved forward again, and Yun Zhi inadvertently met his eyes with Min Yanshi, who was standing on the street, he politely clenched his fists, and Yun Zhi was not good at dodging in a hurry, and bowed his head elegantly, and then hurriedly lowered the curtain.

The cheerful and lively cousin smiled: "I see that the girl's face is red, what's wrong?" ”

Yunzhi hurriedly shook his head: "It's hot, I'm fine." ”

But the two sisters-in-law are very similar to their mother-in-law, and they grinned: "Yun'er and that Min Gongzi, in terms of appearance and family background, they can't be more compatible." ”

If it is her own sister-in-law, Yun Yi will make trouble with her teeth and claws, and she is not very familiar with the two cousins-in-law after all, and she is talking about the softest and helpless thing in her heart, so she bowed her head and muttered: "Sister-in-law, don't bully people." ”

When Min Yanshi returned home, the noon banquet had already begun, and his father asked him why he came back so late, and after hearing about the reason, he was annoyed: "You can't come back on horseback, you have to wait for the carriage to pick you up, this time and again, won't it delay the hour?" ”

Mrs. Min said on the side: "The older this child is, the less smart he is, he is rigid and does not know how to be flexible, and he is a little less tactful in dealing with people. ”

After my father and mother finished these words, they also had to entertain the guests, although today they were just marrying a helpless niece of the clan, but nominally it was a marriage between the Prime Minister's Mansion and the General's Mansion, and the Zhu family was busy with their own marriage, so only the second room and the family arrived, but the other houses, the distinguished guests who should come were all in the banquet, and they were not good at lazy.

Min Yanshi breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to go back to the room to change his clothes, and met his sister with a group of girls, Yingying Yanyan.

After seeing the ceremony in two places, Min Chulin let the sisters disperse first, and she left alone and said to her brother: "Grandpa just told someone that he is going to get married for you, and it is estimated that the person who proposes marriage tomorrow will break through the threshold, congratulations to my brother first." ”

Min Yanshi said lightly: "Naturally, there are grandfathers and parents who arrange it. ”

Min Chulin said: "I accompanied Chuxia to get married in the morning, and she cried all the time, crying non-stop, annoying to death. It's really embarrassing to marry the general's mansion like this, the mother and daughter of the Jin family are not good at stubble, I think Chuxia will have a hard time in the future, she really deserves it. ”

"Since you know, why don't you be more sympathetic and don't persuade her?" Min Yanshi looked at her sister with disgust, "You will only gloat, a girl's family, with such a vicious heart, is just relying on the family court, one day this family is gone, and your fate will be worse than Chuxia." ”

"Min Yanshi, you curse your own sister?" Min Chulin said angrily, "What's wrong with me, it's just to tell a few truths, don't you be scolded by your father and mother again, it's not that you're looking for me." ”

Min Yanshi didn't bother to pay attention to it, turned around and left, but heard her sister shouting behind her back: "If you have the ability, you left this house first, and if you have the ability, you have another family, you haven't even mixed up with the top three, who do you think you rely on to get where you are today?" ”

This just happened to be heard by Chu Xue, who was helping to entertain guests at home, and she looked at her sister, she couldn't hide, and Min Chulin said viciously: "No matter what you hear, keep your mouth shut, family affairs don't allow you to chew your tongue, don't think that marrying into the Duke's Mansion is great, what is the use of you, the eldest grandson and young lady, it will not be your turn to attack the lord in the future." ”

Chu Xue doesn't quarrel with people, and she has long been accustomed to her sister's brutality and domineering, so after she said a sour word, she still went about her own business.

It wasn't until she went back to the Duke's Palace in the afternoon and asked the old lady to say goodbye on behalf of her mother-in-law that she mentioned that her half-sister was bullying people at home again, she felt sorry for Yan Shi and said: "The same brothers and sisters, how good our family is, after I got married, although I am a sister-in-law, I call my sisters to spoil me everywhere." Looking at the Prime Minister's Mansion again, one by one can't wait to eat another, Chu Lin and Yan Shi are still brothers and sisters of the same mother. ”

Yun Zhi listened on the side, she always felt that Min Yanshi had a faint sorrow, and a little less of the vitality of the third brother and the Kaijiang brother, thinking about it like this, it must be because he didn't have a home where he could live with peace of mind.

The young lady sighed and said: "Today, my grandfather announced that he would marry for Yanshi, I don't know which poor girl is going to marry, my mother-in-law and sister-in-law are difficult, and the days to come are ......."

The old lady said: "If the girl in our family doesn't marry, we can't take care of other people's affairs." You feel sorry for Yanshi, and you will treat her daughter-in-law better in the future, and occasionally take her to the house as a guest, if your mother-in-law mutters, just say that I mean. ”

The young lady said, "Daughter-in-law Sun thank you for my brother and sister first." ”

The old lady said to Yunzhi: "Your mother is uncomfortable after eating wine, you go and take a look." ”

Yun Zhi was reluctant, lowered his head and did not speak.

The old lady said: "The past is over, I have never taught you the truth of not honoring your mother, go with your sister-in-law." ”

The young lady stepped forward to help her sister: "Let's go, my mother misses you very much, she has changed, really." ”
