Mrs. Chen has changed into a half-old crab shell cyan rich and ever-year-old oblique shirt, and the wig bun on her head has also gone, only a simple comb of a round bun, inserted a jade hairpin, and people are casually leaning on the soft couch by the window, seeing her daughter come in, she glared at Zhou Yan without looking good, "Okay, you crawled out of my intestines, what are you pretending to be confused with your mother?" ”

Zhou Yan's fourth sister, Zhou Yan, handed a cup of warm tea to her sister, "Take a sip of tea first, I heard from my mother that you sent the young ladies of those families back?" She leaned over and asked, "How's that?" Which one do you like? ”

In front of her own family, Zhou Yan didn't pay attention to hypocrisy, took the tea and took a big sip, "I don't know, how can we guess Niangniang's thoughts?" The left and right are also picked among these five people, and I guess at least three will be selected, how,"

She dried up the tea in the cup, "Even if there are ten or eight more ladies in the palace, it's not too much." ”

That's right, the first emperor loved Zeng Hou so much, and he couldn't wait for the family of the previous dynasty to be called the Zeng family, but the concubines in the harem who can be called by name are also twenty or thirty, compared with the first emperor, today is really a bad woman, there is a Dao Mingjun, Zhou Yu and the second sister Zhou Yan exchanged a look, these five, each has one they help to choose, if they enter the palace and get favored, and their husband's family, it is naturally a lot of benefits.

Before Zhou Yan could ask, Zhou Yan was already angry, "Second sister, where did you get Han Yanting from?" ”

What do you mean by gouging out? That's what she has chosen, Zhou Yan pretended to smile profoundly, "What's wrong?" Did she win the jackpot today? ”

Zhou Yan snorted coldly, "My sister is carefully selected, and even the person who is guarded against by my sister is naturally the best, but now she is even suppressed by the old mansion of the Sick Pavilion and the young lady in the Imperial History Mansion, it's not simple!" ”

Zhou Yan smiled disapprerovingly, the left and right Han family did not go to Mrs. Enyihou, everyone asked for their own things, and the two had nothing to do with each other, "That's natural, I didn't tell you a long time ago, don't look at Han Di who doesn't say anything, those two people are human spirits and have great ambitions!" ”

Whether she has great ambitions or not, it has little to do with Zhou Yan, she is angry that Zhou Yan and Han Yanting hide herself, but her sister did not harm her interests after all, and if Han Yanting really enters the palace and is favored, she can also make a recommendation, "If you are sure, you can do it, what I should do is to enter the palace in the future, and the road behind me will have to rely on her own practice." ”

"Don't, look at what our little Wu'er said," Zhou Yan looked at her sister's face, and knew that the Han Yanting she picked was the most outstanding among several people, "Who doesn't know that you are the most trusted person in your mother's mother?" I also pointed to you to help Yan Ting," she put her arm around Zhou Yan's arm and leaned into Zhou Yan's ear, "The daughters of the Han family are all very capable of giving birth, and they say that they have a secret recipe for having children......"

"Why don't you offer a secret recipe? What is the purpose of keeping yourself? Zhou Yan tried her best to ask her to help Han Yanting, but she was afraid that she would not receive less money from the Han family, Zhou Yan didn't like the second sister's money-loving nature, and she was also afraid that she would be too deeply involved with the Han family, "Be a man to know how to stop in moderation, insatiable greed will only harm others and yourself." ”

Mrs. Chen has been listening to the conversation of several daughters, her daughters are brought out by herself, and she can't find a better and more capable person in the capital, after getting married, she is even more favored by her in-laws, loved by her husband, and has children under her knees, that is, she is not the daughter of the eldest daughter-in-law, Zhou Wei, and now she is also a figure who is not the same in her husband's family, and even the eldest sister-in-law has to respect it.

"Okay, your sister is right, no matter how much you like the daughter of the Han family, don't forget, the queen is the master of the middle palace, that is, she can't give birth to an heir, just because she is the emperor's first match, no one will want to cross her," Old Madam Chen glanced at her granddaughter who had been biting her lip and sitting next to the eldest daughter-in-law Qiu, and sighed, "As long as Yan Niang has always been so trusted by the mother, then the Han family will have to hold you and beg you." ”

When she saw that Zhou Yan was about to speak, she waved her hand, "Okay, no matter how big those things are, they are also the affairs of the side family, how much do they have to do with us?" Old Madam Chen pulled Zhou Yan over, "Let me ask you, the queen called you inside, but you can say which girl you like?" Could it really be the Qin family? ”

After waiting for a long time, it finally came to the topic they wanted to know, no matter how good the Zhou sisters were, Yu Qiu's concubine, they were all in-laws, only the Zhou family lived well, that was really affordable, "Yes, when I first entered the palace, I saw that the mother liked us very much, and for the two girls of the Qin family, it was just general!" ”

Zhou Yan naturally knew the plans of her sisters-in-law, if it weren't for the fact that the younger sisters under Zhuohua were still young, I was afraid that Old Madam Chen would bring people into the palace this time, "Niangniang's meaning, it's rare that Yunhou is willing to mention family affairs, no matter whose girl he fancies, Niangniang will be fulfilled,"

"As for the mother herself," Zhou Yan would not tell her mother and sister-in-law that she had already made her attitude clear for them, "Let's Zhuohua is younger in the end, Yunhou is more than ten years older than Zhuohua, although there is no one in the Enyi Hou Mansion, but it also has to be a lady who can take charge of the house." ”

Speaking of which, how can the women in the Qin'en Hall not understand, this is because their daughter is young and afraid that she will not be able to be in charge of the family, Qiu wanted to defend her daughter for a few words, but she saw Zhou Zhuohua's eyes were red, and she had already hidden her face and ran out, she felt sorry for her daughter's grievances, and hurriedly got up and bent her knees to Mrs. Chen, and chased out.

As soon as the Qiu family left, the remaining two aunts were not willing to stay longer, and Zhou Zhuohua was not their daughter, and there were capable old lady Chen and sister-in-law above, even if they stayed, they couldn't help anything, the two looked at each other, and they retreated in unison.

"Hmph, one by one they ran very fast, I really can't help anything! Mother, why did you marry such two daughters-in-law to your younger brother back then?! Zhou Yan watched her sister-in-law and siblings walk cleanly and pouted.

Zhou Yu is not as mean as her sister, "They can't help if they stay, but it will affect our speech, so it's better to go quiet." ”

Marrying a daughter and marrying a daughter-in-law are two different things, when you pick someone, people are also picking you, Peiguo Mansion is said to be a century-old Guogong Mansion, but there is no child in the house to lead the mission, and it is also thanks to Mrs. Chen's good management, so as to maintain the wealth of the house, those who are particular about the family, naturally willing to marry a daughter of the Zhou family to take care of the house, but will not be willing to marry their daughter to a mediocre man.

This point, Mrs. Chen has long seen clearly, so when she first married her daughter, she chose thousands of choices, and her sons-in-law were all promising, and when she married her daughter-in-law, except for the eldest son of Chengjue who married the daughter of the Qiu family in Jiangnan, the other two concubines chose the daughter of the honest family.

Mrs. Chen is good to both the concubine and the concubine, so the four concubines are also very respectful and obedient to her.

"You, don't see them all the time, the nose is not the nose, the face is not the face, what is it like? Could it be that you are at your in-law's house and see your man's cousins, and the same is true? Old Madam Chen glared at Zhou Yan unhappily, and turned her head to look at Zhou Yan, "Tell me carefully, what did Niangniang say?" ”

Zhou Yu is also more concerned about this, "Yes, if you are just worried that our Zhuohua will not be able to support the Hou Mansion, then it is simple, our mansion will invite guests another day, and call Zhuohua to handle it, and we usually take Zhuohua out to walk around,"

Zhou Zhuohua frowned and said, "You and the county lord of Ruihe have been good since childhood, you take Zhuohua to the eldest princess's mansion a few more times," Zhou Zhuohua, like them, was raised by Old Madam Chen, and his ability is beyond doubt.

Zhou Yan shook her head again and again, "Mother, don't you also listen to what Enyihou said, he already has a favorite family, just wait for the time to ask the emperor to marry Niangniang, why should we muddy the muddy waters again?" Ruined Zhuohua's reputation? ”

Zhou Yan knows Mrs. Chen's temperament best, and the love between husband and wife is not worth the interests of the family at all, "Niang, don't think about starting from Niangniang, and ask her to directly point out Zhuohua to Yunchi, let me tell you, Niangniang also thinks Zhuohua is young, and also, Enyihou has been back in Beijing for all these years, but can be manipulated at will?" Don't get married, and offend people again,"

Zhou Yan leaned closer to Mrs. Chen, "I heard from my marquis that he may be the waiter of the Ministry of Works!" ”

What the? Su Shuyan wants to be a waiter in the Ministry of Works? Don't talk about Mrs. Chen, even Zhou Yan and Zhou Yan came over, Zhou Yan pulled her sister, "Are you serious?" Did your brother-in-law tell you personally? ”

The husband finally came out, thinking about Zhou Yan is also full of emotion, Su Shuyan was not without a chance of promotion before, but he was too wooden, except for the firearms that couldn't speak and couldn't walk, he didn't know the way to be an official at all, and because of this, he would rather hide in the dirty and dangerous weapons department than deal with people, and this time, listening to Su Shuyan's meaning, he still listened to Yun Chi's persuasion, and decided to come out to help Yun Chi, "Well, my sister also knows my family's Shuyan's temperament, He who never tells a lie,"

In the Yinhu Department of the Metalworking Department, the eyes of the Zhou sisters lit up when they heard this, and Zhou Yan held her cheeks with one hand, "Tang Shangshu is not that old, Mei Shilang is not young, and that Zuo Jing is not young,"

Zhou Yan's eyes lit up, "Is the surname Zuo going down?" ”

Zhou Yan glanced at her sister with disgust, "What do you mean to go down, Master Zuo is not young, and he has been ill all these years, I heard that he has been in the book many times, and he wants to beg for bones." ”

Speaking of beggar bones, everyone couldn't help but think of Yu Ge Lao, who had been entrenched in the position of the first assistant, and was still unwilling to come down at an age, Mrs. Chen glanced at her two daughters, "You go back and leak a word with the elders, Yu family," she shook her head lightly, and asked Zhou Yan to tell what happened in the palace today, "The daughter of the family has raised such a look, and this man will not be able to become a weapon." ”
