At night, the two sisters-in-law were crooked on the collapse and said to themselves, Du Tianwei took the initiative to tell Xin Yao about Princess Chi and Concubine Liu asking for marriage from Du Mansion, and at the end her face showed a little sadness.

Xin Yao understands the worries of the women in the boudoir about the future, this is an era that pays attention to social order, whether you are a famous lady or a small jasper, you have to follow the order of this society.

As Dr. Du's only concubine, she can't escape this fate, the difference is that she doesn't need to worry about a small sedan chair being carried into the house as a concubine one day, she is more worried about the future in-law's family, the future husband's personality, and character.

Xin Yao remembered that she had such worries before she got engaged, and she felt pity in her heart, and couldn't help but feel relieved.

Du Tianwei's face changed a few times, her eyes darkened, her eyes were slightly red, and she sighed: "In the end, my cousin-in-law loves me!" My parents are also worried about my brother and me, when I left, my mother also specially told me, don't hide everything, grandfather, cousin, cousin although not surnamed Du, but all love me, hope that I am good. ”

Xin Yao saw that there were tears in her eyes, it must have been for the matter of Fuwangfu, she suffered a lot of gossip, and immediately took Tianwei's hand and said with a smile: "Let me ask you, did Sister Tianping in the third room cry when she knew that she was about to enter Fuwangfu Mansion as a side concubine?" ”

"I didn't cry."

"Have you ever said a word of complaint to your sister?"

"She told me not to take it to heart, everyone has a life."

Xin Yao sighed: "Your sister is a smart one. Sister, you think, King Fu asks his sister for a kiss. must be to find out the age of my sister and her character, and my sister has just turned fourteen after the New Year. Before he was ready, how could King Fu wait for his sister for another two years in order to take a side concubine? In the past two years, the situation has changed, and maybe everything has settled. ”

"So......" Du Tianwei hesitated and didn't say any more.

Xin Yao nodded and said, "He opened his mouth to Du Mansion at this time, but he just wanted to show favor to your second cousin." The proposal to you is also to appear more sincere. What's more, this matter was decided by your grandfather, and Du Taifu went through three dynasties. What's not clear? Just like your sister Tianping said, everyone has a life. Where fate throws you, you have to have the ability to live there, sad autumn and sad moon, what's the use of self-pity? ”

Xin Yao didn't wait for Du Tianwei to comprehend. He coughed twice and said: "From tomorrow onwards, my sister will help my cousin and sister-in-law take care of the house for two days, and when autumn comes, my body will always cough, and it will not be better." ”

When Du Tianwei heard that her cousin-in-law was not in good health, she couldn't care about being sad at the moment, so she asked the reason carefully, and naturally responded.

The sister-in-law chatted until late at night before they went to sleep.

Day 2. Du Tianwei took the key to the warehouse, still the same as last time, following Xin Yao everywhere. Like a little tail.

The difference was that she sat in the main seat of the council chamber. And the cousin-in-law, who claimed to be in poor health, was leisurely drinking tea and eating snacks on the side, and sighed in her heart that women, instead of feeling sorry for herself all day long, crying and crying. It's better to cultivate yourself to perfection.

Du Tianwei is busy, how can she have time to talk to Xin Yao about those troubles? But one day. She devoted all her mind to studying the model of her cousin's family.

Xin Yao takes care of Xiao Mansion and manages it in the way of doing business.

Xiao Zhong is similar to the position of general manager, in charge of the whole government; The next department is divided into three departments, the administrative department and the business department and the finance department, each with a branch manager, two deputy managers, each department is then refined into various positions, and each position is implemented to each person.

Today's Xiao Mansion, up and down are all doing things according to Xin Yao's rules, no one dares to be lazy, and no one can be lazy.

Du Tianwei secretly remembered the model of her cousin-in-law's house, and even copied the appearance of taking the account room to do the account.

After Xin Yao looked at it carefully for two days, she simply shook her hand and didn't even go to the meeting room, only let Mother Li and Danyue accompany her, and she was busy with the little uncle's dowry.

As soon as Du Tianwei came, Du Tianxiang also followed him, and in the name of helping his cousin-in-law diagnose the pulse, and took the opportunity to occupy Xiao Han's study openly.

The three brothers and sisters of the Du family, Du Tianxiang and Du Tianwei Xiao's mother, are cheerful and easy-going, and they are close to the old lady. Du Tianfei is the only one who looks good, his temperament is exactly the same as his father Du Yunpeng, his temperament is dull, he is good at poetry and books, and he goes farther with the old lady.

When Du Tianxiang came, Xin Yao had to call Meizi to her side, and carefully arranged the food in the house in the past few days, including the supper at night. However, the cough was changed due to the change of prescription, and after just taking two pills, it had a miraculous effect, which made Du Tianxiang so beautiful that he walked a little flutteringly, and after being scolded by the old lady a few times, he was slightly restrained.

……

Let's go back and talk about Jiang Hongsheng, the second master of the Jiang family, just after the Mid-Autumn Festival, everything in the house is in order, so I have the heart to inquire about people.

He asked the little servant to wait at the gate of the Hanlin Courtyard for three days, but he never saw Xu Sizhen. He thought about it, and his heart became more and more restless.

On this day, he just walked out of the yamen and was about to get into his own carriage, but he saw his son-in-law Zheng Liang respectfully waiting by the side of the carriage. ”

After that, Zheng Liang leaned over his face, lowered his voice, and said mysteriously: "Father-in-law, the son-in-law has heard something about Xu Sizhen!" ”

Jiang Hongsheng was shocked, but his face was calm and clear, and Wen Crepe said: "Okay, I have heard Yulou's name for a long time, but I haven't seen its shape, and today our father and son will get together." Come on, go back and tell my wife, I have something to do with my third aunt, and I'll come back after dinner. ”

The intimate little servant cleverly responded to the call. Weng and his son-in-law got into the car and slowly drove towards Tingyulou.

To say that Zheng Liang would invite his father-in-law to listen to Yulou for dinner on a whim? You don't need to think about it to know that this must be Jiang Xinshan's idea.

On that day, the master and servant pondered for a long time and came up with a plan. Since his father is probing this person, it is better to let Zheng Liang probe his father's tone and see if he can find out anything from his mouth.

Zheng Liang also couldn't make it because of his father-in-law's entrustment, and he felt guilty, so he responded in one bite. Jiang Xinshan took the opportunity to say that if there is a portrait of Xu Sizhen, his father can be regarded as being able to pay a errand.

When Zheng Liang heard this, he had a good idea, and at that moment let the breeze grind the ink, close his eyes and reminisce, and move the brush. The Zheng family and the good Danqing, both men and women, when they were five or six years old, must have invited famous painters in the capital to teach painting skills.

After Zheng Liang waved it, Jiang Xinshan looked at the portrait carefully, and always felt a little familiar, but she couldn't tell who she looked like, and she pondered it repeatedly for a long time, but still didn't get anything, so she had to exaggerate a few words and put them in the back of her head.

Weng and his son-in-law went to Tingyulou, went straight to the private room, and after the wine and food were served, they waved off the subordinates, Zheng Liang took out the portrait in his arms and handed it to Jiang Hongsheng.

Jiang Hongsheng opened it and took a look, as if he had been struck by lightning, his hand couldn't help trembling, and he whispered: "Ah Yuan! ”

Zheng Liang saw that his face was not very good-looking, and hurriedly said: "Father-in-law? ”

Jiang Hongsheng came back to his senses and disguised: "This person looks like an old man of mine, he was dazzled for a while, and he called the wrong person, this is Xu Tanhua, but he is a talent, and he has made a marriage with Qingwangfu, and his future is limitless!" ”

Most of the scholars have a somewhat different style of literati, Zheng Liang disagreed: "The former detective is a bit of real talent and learning, but the reputation of the Qing Wangfu is really unbearable." I heard that he was born in an ordinary family, and this time he climbed the dragon and attached the phoenix, and he could be regarded as having his own place. Those colleagues in the Hanlin Academy didn't dare to say it openly, secretly, the words were not good! ”

Zheng Liang drank a few glasses of wine, and he talked more: "Father-in-law, Xu Sizhen is extremely high-minded, alone, comes early and returns late every day, doesn't talk to people much, and never moves between colleagues. looks like that, I heard that there is not even a connecting room in the house, father-in-law, do you think he is strange!

Jiang Hongsheng's face became more and more ugly, he hastily used some wine and food, and made a cold sentence, so he found an excuse and left in a hurry.

After Jiang Hongsheng left, Zheng Liang reacted, Jiang Xinshan asked him to investigate, but he didn't even touch the edge!

He touched the wine jug, poured a glass of wine depressedly, looked left and right at the portrait, and sighed: "It's strange, this father and daughter are inquiring, and I don't know what to ask!" ”

……

In the afternoon of this day, before Xin Yao woke up from her afternoon nap, she was gently aroused by the clouds, and when she asked, she realized that Xia He, who was beside her mother, was waiting outside, and couldn't help asking, "Is there anything in the house?" ”

Weiyun beckoned the little maid to fetch water, and replied in a low voice: "Grandma, it is said that it is a pair of brothers of the uncle, and the sister is coming to the 100-day banquet the day after tomorrow, and I will invite the eldest grandmother to go back to the house to drink the wedding wine!" ”

Jiang Xinyao asked in a daze: "So fast!" ”

Weiyun put on the embroidered shoes for Xin Yao, and said with a smile: "Born in May, isn't it a hundred days, grandma forgot, a few days ago, you asked Mother Li to prepare a hundred days for the two children!" ”

Xin Yao was stunned and said, "How many days has the uncle been gone?" ”

Weiyun saw that every time the eldest grandmother got up, she always had to be confused for a long time, and couldn't help but laugh: "It's the fourth day today, it's hard for the eldest grandmother to forget this." （http：／／.）。 ”

Jiang Xinyao sighed: "Hey, I've been busy with the affairs of Xu Mansion these days, and my life is in a mess, come and help me comb my hair." ”

Weiyun smiled and helped the grandmother to the dresser, and dressed her up with her hands and feet.

Seeing Miss Four this time, Xia He always felt that Miss Four had reduced a little compared to a month ago. When I asked, I found out that due to the change of seasons, the fourth lady had been coughing for a few days, and if she let the second lady see it, she might not know what the distress would become.

Thinking of this, Xia He smiled and said: "The second wife was still talking to the slave maid two days ago, the weather in the capital is dry and dry, how can it compare to the humidity in the south?" The fourth lady's cough is afraid that it has recurred. Look, it's really for the second wife. ”

Jiang Xinyao took the lily lotus seed soup handed by Weiyun, took a few bites, and said with a smile: "It's good to eat three meals a day, don't talk to your mother when you go back." (To be continued) (..)
