"Marriage?" As soon as Erniang's words fell, a sharp voice rang out at an inopportune time. Everyone looked at Siniang who was out of shape in surprise, but saw that she looked at Sanniang as if she was in disbelief, and the emotions in her eyes were indistinguishable.

Wang Zheng was a little bored with Siniang just now, and when he saw her attitude, he guessed a little, and he didn't like this niece even more, so he said lightly: "Sanniang is smart and demure, and she has everyone's demeanor, so she is naturally loved." Last time, when her third sister-in-law entered the palace, she got the eyes of the Queen Mother, so she was the matchmaker made by the Queen Mother for our third mother. ”

When Siniang heard this, she couldn't hide the jealousy in her eyes.

The Queen Mother......

The third sister was able to meet the Queen Mother and win her favor, and she had such a good situation.

Siniang looked at Sanniang, but saw that she was unhappy, there was no pride on her face, no joy and shyness, as if everyone was not talking about her.

Siniang thought for a moment, and said tentatively: "Why does the third sister seem to be not very happy?" Could it be ...... Did the Queen Mother point out a poor family to the third sister? Or is that man so ugly? Tilt or ...... Which of the older officials is the continuation of the strings? There was a faint hope in her voice, and there was not a good word.

Sanniang laughed when she heard this, this person didn't expect her to be good at all.

A few people listening next to him also heard that something was wrong, Wang Zheng was an elder, and immediately turned cold, and said: "Siniang, why do you not know the sense of proportion so much?" Have all the rules learned over the years gone into the dog's belly? The Queen Mother is compassionate, how could she point out an unbearable marriage to Sanniang, you are slandering you behind your back, do you know if this word spreads. What a sin you should be! ”

Wang Zheng has been the daughter of the pavilion for so many years, and she is like a fish in water at home because of the love of the Li family, and she is also a lot of daughters in various provinces when she goes out, so she has a majesty when she speaks with such a cold face. Everyone was stunned.

Siniang finally sobered up when she heard this, a cold sweat broke out on her back, and she smiled reluctantly: "Aunt Jiu, don't worry. Siniang just said casually, but she didn't really think so. ”

Wang Zheng didn't save her any face, and glared at her majestically: "Don't you know that trouble comes from your mouth?" This kind of thing is unthinkable even if you think about it. How dare you say it! This is the capital. Don't lose the face of our Wang family, and make people laugh for no reason. Next time, if I hear such inconsequential remarks again, I will immediately ask my aunt to send you back to Shandong. ”

Seeing that Wang Zheng was angry, several juniors didn't dare to speak, and Wang Zheng was very serious when he said this, and everyone believed that she was not just scaring Siniang to talk casually, she would really do it.

Siniang bit her lip. After only hesitating for a moment, he lowered his eyebrows and bowed to Wang Zheng, and said timidly: "Siniang knows." I don't dare to talk like this in the future, Siniang thanks Aunt Jiu for her teachings. ”

She was able to follow the Sun family to the capital this time. It's because of Erniang's help, otherwise how could Sun have thought of bringing her, the concubine of a big house? If she offends Wang Zheng, she will be very favored in front of her uncle and grandmother, and when the time comes, she will sue her in front of her uncle and grandmother, and her uncle and grandmother will tell her grandmother that she will send her back to Shandong.

Siniang has been begging for a living under her mother-in-law Jin for many years, and her ability to make a rudder is not bad, and knowing current affairs is also one of her advantages.

When Wang Zheng saw her admit her mistake, he only snorted lightly, no longer embarrassing her.

Erniang smiled and diverted everyone's attention for Siniang: "I have long known that the third sister is a blessed person, and it is true." The fourth sister doesn't know, but I've heard that the queen mother refers to young talents for the third sister. At a young age, he was appointed as the commander of the Jingwei Command Envoy Division, and the official position of the fourth product is still a close minister of the Son of Heaven. ”

Sanniang bowed her head and was silent, in the eyes of outsiders, she was a little shy.

Sanniang was thinking at this time, Erniang actually knew a lot about the official system in Beijing, and it seemed that she had grown a lot over the years. It's just that I don't know who gave these to her, and what is the purpose of teaching her this.

Looking up slightly, Erniang glanced up, and saw her smiling kindly, with a sincere face, as if she was sincerely happy for her sister. It seems that Erniang has grown a lot in recent years.

After all, Siniang was burned by the jealousy in her heart and couldn't calm down, seeing that Wang Zheng was talking to Yuan Niang and didn't pay attention to her, she muttered in a low voice: "It's just a small Beijing official of the fourth grade, I thought it was a big deal." ”

Siniang's words are a bit overbearing, some people can't climb the position of Sipin even if they are officials for a lifetime. Even in a place like the capital, Sipin is not a petty official. What's more, Erniang's own biological father, the eldest lord Wang Bai, only donated a six-grade official at the beginning, and spent a lot of silver the year before last to entrust the Wang family's door to finally sit in the position of five-grade.

Moreover, the position of Jingwei Commander and Envoy is a little different from other four-rank officials, but Siniang is not Erniang and Sanniang, and he doesn't understand this.

Erniang did hear Siniang's words, she smiled and glanced at Sanniang: "At a young age, what is important is naturally not the level of the current official position." And in the future, the third brother-in-law was born in Prince Zhuang's mansion, and won the favor of the queen mother and the emperor, I heard that there will be the title of general of Zhenguo at that time, and the third sister will be the general's wife as soon as she gets married. ”

Sanniang was surprised now, and she didn't hide the surprise in her eyes and glanced at Erniang. Erniang even heard about this? But Erniang's face showed a warm smile or a warm smile, but looking at Sanniang's eyes was a little meaningful.

Siniang was stunned, and only after half a sound did she grit her teeth, clenched her fists and lowered her head.

Erniang's eyes swept over Siniang, and the smile on the corner of her mouth deepened.

Here, the aunts and nephews suddenly quieted a lot, Erniang drank tea leisurely, Siniang lowered her head and was speechless, Sanniang sat on the side and listened to Wang Zheng and Yuanniang talking in a low voice.

At this interval, I heard Li's surprised voice coming from the bright room of the main room: "What does sister-in-law mean...... Want Erniang to enter the palace? ”

As soon as these words came out, even Wang Zheng, who was whispering something to Yuan Niang, stopped, and at this moment in the next room, the needle drop could be heard.

Over there, Sun's voice came through the curtain again: "Erniang, she is filial and respectful, smart and sensitive, and her appearance is also excellent, if she can enter the palace, she will definitely be able to find a good future." Erniang has a good future, and her father and brother will go more smoothly in their political career. ”

The Li family seemed to pause before saying, "Sister-in-law, although our Wang family is a family, it is the path of the noble clan that has always followed. For more than two hundred years, the royal family has been in great grace, but even when he was most favored by the king, he never became a relative. That identity...... People like us are not only not a help in the officialdom, but will become a drag at some point. ”

The Wang family spent several generations of hard work and sacrificed so much, and finally stood in a relatively detached position among the scholars. Because of the efforts of the ancestors of the Wang family, just to leave an impression on the kings of the past dynasties, that is, the Wang family will not be involved in the competition for the throne by the princes, and the people of the Wang family are only loyal to the one who finally sits on the dragon chair.

It is precisely because of the insistence of the Wang family that the Wang family can stand tall no matter what kind of environment of "a son of heaven and a courtier" is, and always occupy a place in the family forest.

When Sanniang heard about the emperor's draft, she was also worried that the women of the Wang family would also run, but later the emperor's draft did not force all officials to run, so she thought of this again, and her heart was at ease. Because she also noticed that the emperors of previous dynasties never took the initiative to appoint the women of the Wang family to enter the palace as concubines and queens. The Wang family has never sent a woman into the palace.

The royal family also needs a family like the Wang family that can always stay out of things.

Sun has always lacked awareness of politics, she doesn't understand this, and because her husband, the old lady, although he is the eldest son, is not a person of officialdom, and Sun has been living in Shandong since he became a family and has not experienced too many political storms.

So after listening to Li's hints, Sun didn't think so: "What drags down and doesn't drag?" The heirs of the Holy Gods are thin today, if they can ...... It was a great honor. ”

Lee didn't say anything.

Sanniang raised her head and accidentally met Wang Zheng's eyes, and both of them saw a trace of helplessness in each other's eyes.

When Li and Sun say this, it is equivalent to playing the piano with a cow.

"You don't want to help when you say that, do you?" Sun's voice was a little unhappy: "The second brother is in the Ministry of Rites, and the draft has to go through his hands, I just want to ask him to help me take care of the second mother and two, so that her election can be smoother, how big is it?" Just show me the face! Although you are now the old lady of the pavilion, I am still your sister-in-law. ”

Li was a little helpless: "Sister-in-law, I didn't mean that." ”

Sun snorted: "Are you helping or not helping?" ”

Li had no choice but to say, "I'll tell the master about this when I go back." ”

Sun was a little dissatisfied: "You're not perfunctory, are you?" If you don't want to help, just say it, I'll take another way. ”

Presumably when he was young, he was used to seeing Sun's arrogance, and Li was not angry, but said softly: "Sister-in-law, you also know that we women can't do this kind of thing, so I can only leave this matter to our master to decide." If this matter is good and beneficial to the Wang family, our lord will not push it out, right? ”

The Li family is so different that it is difficult for the Sun family to say anything.

Later, someone from Wenjiayuan came to report that several ladies in the house had come to the door and had important things to see Li, so Li got up and said goodbye and did not stay for lunch. (To be continued)
