At that time, Sanniang told Xuan Shao that she wanted to see what kind of stone called "happiness" grew.

Rubbing the two small stones in his hand, and looking at the four words in the brief introduction in Xuan Shao's letter, Sanniang shook her head with a smile.

This is Xuan Shao, he has never been a man who likes to express himself in words, but his behavior can always make people feel heartwarming.

Fold the letter according to the original crease and put it back in the envelope, Sanniang carefully put the two stones in her hand into the small purse she was carrying, and got up again to put the letter into the small drawer under the jewelry box on the dresser.

A few days later, spring has already begun, and Sanniang was invited to attend the wedding of the Wang family's four-room family.

The old lady in the fourth room is Lian, and on this day she married the youngest son of her eldest son. Lian's eldest son was originally Zuo Shilang of the Criminal Department, but he was later released from his foreign post and transferred to Jiangxi Chengxuan Political Secretary Zuobu Political Envoy.

His wife Chen was a blessed one, married into the Wang family for four years and gave birth to three sons, and when she was almost thirty years old, she became pregnant again. She gave birth to three sons herself, but the two concubines in the family gave birth to daughters, she herself once laughed, when she was pregnant, she thought that her child must be pregnant with a girl, and even thought of several names, but the result was still a boy.

Chen's statement is naturally a joke, in this era, there has never been a woman who will dislike her son for giving birth to more, whether it is a noble family or a common person. The descendants of the nobles of the family show that this branch is prosperous and the family is prosperous. And the more sons of ordinary people, means that there are more laborers who can work.

This time the marriage is Wang Zhen, the youngest son of the Chen family, and the name is really suitable for both men and women. And the woman Wang Zhen wants to marry. Sanniang also recognized it, it was Zhou Wan, the daughter of Mrs. Zhou Zhou, the left capital of the Imperial Palace, who she saw with the Xue family in the Yunxiang Building last time.

The two met when they were out socializing on weekdays. Zhou Wanren is as her name suggests, she is a gentle woman, and she is compatible with Sanniang Wang Zheng.

It is not false to say that Chen is a blessed person, her three daughters-in-law all got sons as soon as they entered the door, and then they had both children and daughters, holding two in three years.

The prestige of the fourth room of the Wang family in the Wang family is also comparable to that of the Sanniang family, and their branch is prosperous, and there are several children of the same generation as Wang Jing who are very outstanding, and they are the key training objects in the next generation of the Wang family.

Look at it here. Wang Xian has no children, except for Wang Zhang, who is not obvious on weekdays, and people can't figure out his strength. There is no one who can handle it.

Because of this, the prestige of Sifang gradually surpassed that of Wang Xian and Wang Hong, especially after Wang Xian stepped down as patriarch a few years ago because of the Sun family. Although the patriarch is not served by the people of the fourth room, a few people from the clan are temporarily selected to act as agents of the clan. But the influence of Sifang in the clan should not be underestimated.

Sanniang arrived before the wedding, and she, Wang Zheng and several young daughters-in-law in the fourth room were given a task by the elders, that is, to go to the new house to accompany the bride who had already worshipped.

Sanniang and Wang Zheng are close to the bride Wang Wan in age, and they are good friends on weekdays. And the other women of the same generation in the fourth room have all been married. This is also what Mrs. Zhou once asked Sanniang to take care of Wang Wan more. When a woman gets married, she has just entered a new environment. Uneasiness is inevitable.

The other sisters-in-law were all old, so Sanniang and Wang Zheng sat close and talked to Zhou Wan.

"Yuan Niang was also going to accompany you, but she was going to leave for Shandong the day after tomorrow, and her father-in-law contracted some wind and cold, so she stayed in the house to wait for the soup." Wang Zheng said to Wang Wan.

Wang Zheng's Xianggong didn't pass the exam this time, but he caught a cold during the Gongyuan exam, and although it was a small cold, it was not easy to come.

"She's leaving the day after tomorrow?" Wang Wan originally wanted to say that she would let Yuan Niang stay for a few more days, so that she could get together again. However, thinking that Yuan Niang's father-in-law fell off the list this time, he was infected with the wind and cold again, and looked at the titles of other classmates on the gold list, and he must have been very disappointed when he met him. I swallowed it.

Wang Zheng smiled: "Yes, I wanted to keep her more, but she had already sent a letter from her home." Yuan Niang's father-in-law also wanted to go back early and study hard, but he still thought that Beijing was too prosperous. ”

Speaking of which, Yuan Niang's temperament is not bad. Although it fell off the list this time, it was also viewed with a normal heart, and it was not very depressed. On the contrary, he had more fighting spirit in his heart and put hope in three years. In this regard, Wang Xian also praised him.

A few people just talked casually, and they didn't say some gossip and rumors, for fear that those older people would hear them say that they were not dignified. Originally, the purpose of Sanniang and Wang Zheng to accompany them was not to chat, but to relieve the tension of the bride.

As she was talking, Sanniang happened to see a maid beside Wang Zheng lingering at the door of the new house. Sanniang saw that the maid seemed to have something, so she gently patted Wang Zheng and asked her to look out.

Wang Zheng turned his head, frowned, but still got up and said to Sanniang and Zhou Wan: "I'll miss it." Then he went out.

Wang Zheng has been there for a long time, and Sanniang feels a little strange. After Wang Qi also came, she asked Wang Qi to accompany Zhou Wan to talk, and she asked Wang Zheng where she went by the way when she went to change clothes.

As soon as Sanniang came out of the courtyard of the new house, she saw Erniang. Because Erniang was filling the house, the elders did not let her enter the new house. The old man is still very particular about these things.

When Sanniang saw Erniang, she went up to meet her.

Erniang smiled and asked, "Where are you going, third sister?" Just now I asked you to come, and I heard from the fifth sister-in-law that you and Aunt Nine came to the new house to accompany the new daughter-in-law. ”

Sanniang smiled: "Sit for a long time, come out for a walk." By the way, did you see Aunt Nine? ”

Erniang looked at Sanniang and seemed to have a deep meaning and said: "The third sister and the ninth aunt have a very good relationship, and they are not separated from Meng Meng on weekdays." ”

The smile on Sanniang's face remained unchanged: "It's a good fit." If the second sister doesn't see her, then I'll leave first, please. Sanniang stepped aside and let Erniang go first.

Erniang shook her head: "I saw it, when I just came over, I saw ......" Speaking of this, Erniang looked around, half-covered her mouth with her hands, bent over to Sanniang's ear and said: "I saw Aunt Jiu under the porch in the garden in front, and I saw that her eyes were red, as if she had cried." ”

Sanniang frowned and looked at Erniang.

Erniang had already straightened up, with a worried face: "I originally wanted to talk to her, but she didn't seem to want to say anything to me, so she left in a hurry." I thought about it, so I didn't follow, and when I heard that the third sister was here in the new house, I wondered if I could meet you and let you go and see her. ”

Sanniang pursed her lips and said, "Maybe the second sister, you are wrong, right?" Aunt Nine has always been cheerful...... At that time, I was blinded by the sand in the garden, and I may not have been able to tell you. ”

Erniang sighed lightly: "I originally thought the same, I've known Aunt Jiu for so long, where have I ever seen her sad?" But when I came over, I happened to meet a sister-in-law of my own family, and she told me something, and I figured out why Aunt Nine was crying. ”

When Sanniang heard this, she raised her eyebrows and looked at Erniang, as if she was waiting for her to finish.

Erniang did not disappoint Sanniang, and said: "The fourth uncle and grandmother just called the uncle and grandmother and said that the children of the clan would come to inherit the heirs to the uncle. I heard that everyone has already been selected, and this time I came to Beijing from Shandong with her. ”

Sanniang was shocked when she heard this, although she didn't know what Erniang's intention was to say this, but ...... This kind of thing really seems to be something that Lian can do. Although she is the same generation as the Li family, the Sun family and others, she is much older than them, and her status in the Wang family is also a little transcendent.

Speaking of which, this is not a bad person for the Lian clan, she just takes the interests of the clan too seriously and has her own set of moral standards. Last time, Sanniang designed to cut off Erniang's biological mother Liu, which powdered Erniang's scheme, and Lian's role in this should not be underestimated.

However, this kind of person is often like a double-edged sword, sharp against the enemy, and can accidentally scratch himself.

In fact, it is not bad to let the children of the Wang family inherit Wang Xian's incense, but now those seedlings in the clan who are all worried are the objects of cultivation in the clan, and the parents of these children will not easily give others the children they have fortunately cultivated to glorify the lintel.

Even if these clansmen are willing, the children are already older, after all, they are still with their biological parents.

If you look for it from those children who are young and ignorant, Wang Xian and Li are very old...... And how many of those clansmen of the Wang family are fuel-efficient lamps? Perhaps on external issues, everyone's position will be the same. But this does not mean that there will be no fighting within the same clan. The water of the Wang family is also deep.

The spirit of "fighting" seems to be a factor that cannot be abandoned deep in the bones of this nation. It has been inherited from the ancient generations of Ru Mao and drank blood, and no matter how many times it evolves, there is no way to change it.

Sanniang thought so, if Erniang's words were not false, then it would not be surprising that Wang Zheng was so sad about this matter.

Lian's family didn't care whether Wang Xian and Li agreed or not, they came to a prelude, and directly picked someone to come to Beijing, so it was difficult for Wang Xian to find a reason for refusing.

Wang Xian and Li are the only two elders that Sanniang respects among these people in the Wang family. Seeing that they were forced to this point, Sanniang was also very sad.

"I don't know if my uncle and grandmother brought it into Beijing this time, who is from that room?" Sanniang asked casually.

Erniang also seemed to reply casually: "Oh, I heard that it is the grandson of the eighteenth uncle, and he just turned twelve this year." ”

Sanniang was stunned for a moment, and then she was shocked again.

Eighteen Uncle Ancestors? If she is not mistaken, it was the eighteenth uncle who invited credit for the Liu family's rescue of the ancestral archway in front of the Sun family? (To be continued)
