Mrs. Xu is here......" Zhou Xijia stepped forward to greet with a smile.

Xu Mei smiled and said, "Hello mother, I'm coming to see my sister." ”

"Madame has a heart." Zhou Xijia said with a smile.

Cheng Yuanniang asked: "The princess called you over, what did she say?" ”

For Princess Cheng's aunt, she has never seen her a few times, let alone any family affection. It's just that Mrs. Cheng told her that after entering the Yan Palace, she should listen to Princess Cheng's words.

Now that there has been such a big change in the Pingyuan Hou Mansion, she is helpless, and before Cheng Shaomu comes back, the only person she can rely on is this aunt who is not very close.

"It's not a big deal, just ask the princess how she is doing. In addition, there are many New Year's affairs, and the New Year's wine will be placed from the fourth day of the new year, although the princess does not need to socialize in filial piety, but the New Year's wine is a major event, and the princess cannot stay out of it. Zhou Xijia said with a smile.

Cheng Yuanniang didn't dare to be interested in these at all, and just asked: "What about the Cheng family, did the princess say it, is my brother missing?" ”

"Now that it's the New Year, the yamen is also on holiday." Zhou Xijia said, "As for the uncle, the princess has been sending people to look for it, and there should be news soon." ”

Cheng Yuanniang's expression was gloomy, Xu Mei almost burst into tears when she heard it, and said, "Cousin, cousin must be safe." ”

Zhou Xijia was speechless when he heard it, although Xu Mei was a widow, but it was also a loss of womanhood to say this openly.

She may have found an excuse to let Cheng Yuanniang have less contact with Xu Mei, otherwise with the IQ and EQ of the Xu family's mother and daughter, Cheng Yuanniang will be taken to the ditch sooner or later.

"Speaking of which, on the second day of junior high school today, didn't Mrs. Xu go back to Xu's house?" Zhou Xijia took the topic away.

When she returned to her parents' house in the second year of junior high school, Xu Mei should also go back to Xu's house. As a result, Xu Mei came to chat with Cheng Yuanniang, but it seemed that she didn't go back.

"Mother, my brother are in the palace, where am I going back?" Xu Mei said.

Her father died early, and because of the fight for family property, the Xu family had already been beaten and bloodied. Because of her marriage, Mrs. Xu and Brother Xu also lived in the palace, and her relatives were in the palace, so she went back to her mother's house.

Zhou Xi's family was not surprised, but followed: "What Madam said is that the slave maid lost her words." ”

"Hey, this so-called relative, sometimes it's better not to have one." Xu Mei said with a little emotion.

If it weren't for the two good relatives of Pingyuan Hou Mansion and Yan Wangfu, the Xu family would have been living on the streets when the Xu family competed for family property.

The more relatives there are, the more there are competing interests, and the more ruthless they will be.

Zhou Xijia smiled and said, "Madame said this, and the slave maid was a little frightened when she heard it. ”

"Mom is not an outsider, so why bother to see outsiders like this." Xu Mei said.

Zhou Xijia said: "Madame has lifted the slave maid." ”

Cheng Yuanniang was upset, and she didn't want to talk to Xu Mei like this, so she said: "It's not too early, I won't keep my sister." Another day, I'm going to talk to my sister. ”

The host's family said so, Xu Mei had to say: "Then I'll go back first, if my sister is bored, just talk to me." ”

Cheng Yuanniang nodded, although she didn't look down on Xu Mei all along. But at this time, no one around spoke, and it was Xu Mei.

"I'll send Madame." Zhou Xijia said and personally sent Xu Mei out.

After Zhou Xi's send-off, Cheng Yuanniang was still sitting in place, but she said to herself a little: "That Wu ......"

Xu Mei reminded her that maybe it was really Wu who did something.

The dispute between wives and concubines is all life and death, and now there are two rooms, both of which are wives. The dispute between wives and wives is a battle of life and death.

"The princess of the county is a little scheming." Zhou Xijia said, "However, as early as the beginning of entering the door, the days of the two rooms have been divided, and the princess does not have to worry." ”

In order to ensure the respective interests of the two rooms and avoid fighting, the time for a man to go to a house is fixed.

Come to Shizifu on a single day, go to Nuan Xiangwu on a double day, and the New Year's festival is calculated by year, once a year.

On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, Han Xiao shook his sleeves and left, and went to Nuan Xiangwu. That's also because Cheng Yuanniang just entered the door, and she only judged it by common sense, and did not follow the rules.

If Han Xiao broke the rules on weekdays, Cheng Yuanniang sued Princess Cheng, it must be Han Xiao's fault.

"That is what is said, but rules are dead, and people are alive." Cheng Yuanniang said.

The so-called work is not contributing, but it is coming, turning around and then going to the front study, which cannot be regarded as Han Xiao's fault.

"Don't worry about the princess, the princess of the county has been in the door for many years, and she has already fallen out of favor." Zhou Xijia said, "Now that you are in filial piety, you can't sleep with the prince, but the girls around you can ......."

"How can that be?" Cheng Yuanniang interrupted Zhou Xi's family.

When parents die, the marriage of a daughter is a six-month filial piety period, and filial piety is not allowed to share a bed with her husband.

Although men also have to keep filial piety for their fathers-in-law and mothers-in-law, they are dispensable. Although it is unacceptable to arrange a room, she is really unwilling.

Soon after she got married, she was going to give the girl to her husband, and she couldn't swallow this breath.

"Alas, my young lady......" Zhou Xijia was full of helplessness.

She can understand Cheng Yuanniang's little daughter's thoughts, but she understands what's the use, the reality is here. If the Pingyuan Hou Mansion was still there, Cheng Yuanniang would still have the capital to be willful, but now she doesn't even have this capital.

"I know what Mommy is going to say." Cheng Yuanniang said, with a sad expression on her face, and said, "Is there no other way?" ”

Zhou Xijia said helplessly: "Eating color is also the essence of men. If you don't prepare, the prince went around and went to Nuanxiangwu, and the princess of the county just fell out of favor, and there were beautiful girls around her. There is also a Zhou Ru, who is the sister of the princess of Qiantou County, who lives in Nuanxiangwu for no reason, and the abacus in her heart is self-evident. ”

"Zhou Ru......" Cheng Yuanniang read this unfamiliar name, she had been in the door for so long, she really didn't know this person.

It's also psychologically inappropriate, she even thinks that the Wu family is a concubine, not to mention the rest of Nuan Xiangwu.

Zhou Xijia didn't want to say more, and said: "Miss, the princess has been saying today that the most important thing at the moment is the heir." The prince is in his twenties, has no children and no daughters under his knees, and he is also very anxious. ”

"I'm guarding filial piety, what can I do......" Cheng Yuanniang said anxiously, she wanted to get pregnant immediately, but she couldn't.

Zhou Xijia said again: "That's why I said that I should prepare Yahuan, which is also to prepare for childbirth." If Nuan Xiangwu is pregnant first, the princess will lose a lot in this game. ”

"I'm still so young, so let the girl ......," Cheng Yuanniang said, the more she talked, the more angry she felt.

If she really can't give birth, there is nothing to hold the girl, let her agree to the girl's birth now, how can she swallow this breath.

"Alas, miss, this is the only way at the moment." Zhou Xijia said, "Think about the Cheng family, think about the uncle, the young lady is wronged in a thousand ways, and she can only endure it at this time." ”

When it came to the Cheng family, Cheng Yuanniang suddenly had tears in her eyes, and almost gritted her teeth and said: "Then according to your mother's wishes, you can arrange it." ”

Zhou Xijia's heart suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, Cheng Yuanniang's dowry girl was chosen by Mrs. Cheng. Not only is it beautiful but also loyal, and it is suitable to be a room.

"Girl, I'll arrange it. But when the prince comes again, the young lady must talk to him well, and there is also the last time, the young lady wants to accompany the prince. During the Chinese New Year, everyone wants to listen to festive words, and it is hard to cry anymore. Zhou Xijia told Cheng Yuanniang.

Cheng Yuanniang felt more and more depressed in her heart, and said a little mockingly: "It's obvious that he has no heart, but he wants me to accompany him." ”

"My good young lady, even if it is for the sake of the Cheng family, I have to endure it at this time." Zhou Xijia persuaded him, but he was also helpless in his heart.

In Cheng Yuanniang's cognition, her husband should be considerate and gentle to her. There is nothing wrong with this kind of request, but reality is stronger than people, so I have to fight for this breath, and the result is only to let myself fall into a more miserable end.

"Woo......" Cheng Yuanniang couldn't help crying, "My life, why is it so bitter." ”

Zhou Xijia was speechless, her life was bitter, she really didn't know what to say.

No matter how heavy Cheng Yuanniang's resentment was, Zhou Xi's family began to open the room. The two most beautiful ones picked among the dowry girls, one jewel and one embroidered bead.

Zhou Xijia personally inquired, and both of them were willing. Open your face and comb your hair, and notify the chief steward to increase the monthly money.

Of course, there is the most important one, Han Xiao must be fortunate before it can be considered official. Otherwise, it would be a joke if you didn't get past it.

"The prince will come over tonight, and the young lady must tell her well." Zhou Xijia told Cheng Yuanniang.

Generally speaking, arranging a room is a matter for the main room. Even if the man doesn't take a fancy to it, for the sake of his wife's face, he will also take people down. Multiple women, nothing to lose to men.

Of course, if the main room looks like it's going to fight, the man gets angry, even if he likes it, he doesn't want it, and then it will be even more ugly.

"I see." Cheng Yuanniang said helplessly.

Sending a man to a room, she was reluctant in her heart, and now she has to tell Han Xiao well, this breath is becoming more and more difficult to swallow.

"Miss...... Alas......" Zhou Xijia couldn't help but sigh.

As the two were talking, they heard the sound of footsteps outside the door, and Granny Hong hurriedly entered the door and said, "The princess, the princess ......."

"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Zhou Xijia hurriedly greeted him.

Mrs. Hong looked strange, couldn't tell whether she was happy or worried, and said: "Qixia in the former study, Miss Bailu asked her to have a doctor. ”

"Doctor, please? Before you get fifteen, ask for a doctor? Zhou Xijia said, "Is she seriously ill?" ”

Generally speaking, it is not good to ask a doctor even if you are seriously ill and have a big holiday. More likely, sent home to recuperate.

"Not sick." Mrs. Hong said, "That looks like she is happy, Miss Bailu didn't dare to delay, so she quickly sent someone to ask for a doctor." ”

Pregnancy through sex was originally just a trivial matter, but if Qixia was pregnant, it would be Han Xiao's first child. Don't say that Bai Lu didn't dare to slack off, and neither did Manager Hu.

"Pregnant??" Cheng Yuanniang almost screamed.

Zhou Xi's face was also solemn, but his consideration was completely different from Cheng Yuanniang's, and he said, "I'll take a look." ”
