Aunt Guo thought about it, so she sighed.

"In that case, let's get along with the four girls. But now I see that these four girls don't like Ah Yan more and more, and there is disdain in their eyes when they look at Ah Yan, she is just a child, and this mind is very heavy. In the future, you must remember to draw a line with Ayan. ”

The fifth girl pouted.

"That's nature, you need to say it. ”

And while the five girls were talking to Aunt Guo, the eldest young grandmother also talked to her sister-in-law.

"Why is it that the second girl is friendly with the third girl, doesn't she usually follow you?"

The fourth girl lowered her head and said lightly: "I don't know." ”

The eldest young grandmother smiled, hugged her sister-in-law and said, "Ah Ning, you, you are stubborn, and you can't play with Ah Yan." In fact, if you put down your body and make friends with Ah Yan, it is better than the sisters who are in trouble now. ”

The fourth girl's gentle smile suddenly disappeared, and she swept her sister-in-law lightly.

"Sister-in-law and mother's thoughts, Ah Ning also understands. If it was someone else, even if Ah Ning didn't like it in his heart, he would be willing to make friends. But it's just these three girls, Ah Ning really doesn't like it. ”

The eldest young grandmother sighed, gently stroked the fourth girl's cheek, and said, "Why?"

In fact, I originally felt that my mother-in-law's idea was not good, and I didn't have to talk about it. It's just that the eldest young master was really anxious, so he asked his mother-in-law to mention it to the third wife, but this was rejected by others, and it was not decent.

According to the meaning of the eldest young grandmother, this eldest young master, his mother-in-law, and the ancestor are all bent on wanting to get cheap, but also not treating people as family members.

You have to know that in this world, where is there such a thing as both? It is to lead a mule and horse, and to take care of the water and grass.

The four girls stubbornly raised their faces and shook their heads.

"Not really. I just don't like Ah Yan, I hate it in my heart. It's just the daughter of the concubine in the house, and she doesn't have half a point of upbringing, and when she goes out, when others see me, I don't have the face to say that this is my Jingguo Mansion out. ”

When the young grandmother saw it, she sighed.

"But now the Jingguo Mansion is not as good as a year. Although the eldest lord has taken the throne, he has no status in the court. The second master is an unprofessional person. Besides, what about your eldest brother, now he is surrounded by a group of idle people, and he doesn't know what he is busy with every day. I will speak to him, and he will not listen. If it's heavy, it's going to be annoying. ”

Forced to laugh, he continued:

"As for your second brother, he is the second wife's concubine, and he has been weak since he was a child, so I won't mention this. As for your third brother, he has been timid since he was a child, and he doesn't like it because of your eldest wife, and I'm afraid he won't be able to take charge of the family business. ”

After saying something, the four girls bowed their heads and said nothing.

The eldest and youngest grandmother's eyes were gloomy: "As for your fourth brother, let's not talk about it, the ancestor doesn't like the third room if he wants to come, this is well known." ”

When the fourth girl heard this, she was silent for a while, but she said: "Actually, I haven't understood how the old ancestor made this kind of family for the third master back then. ”

Jingguo Mansion has been unable to make ends meet all these years, and it is not as good as a day, how can it be the third room that the ancestors don't love the most, and they have a lot of money.

For a while, when she remembered that day, when she saw Ah Yan throw the skein gold bracelet to a maid, she felt more and more uncomfortable.

In fact, according to the regulations of the Jingguo Mansion, every girl must wear a fashionable face every year, and wear fashionable clothes in every season of the four seasons.

It's just that I don't know what year it was, and this example has existed in name only. It's okay for the fourth girl herself, but in the end, there is a big wife, and there is a sister-in-law who is in pain, where can she be wronged.

But the second girl's side is not good, a set of gold and silk heads, every time you go out or have a major festival, you have to wear it.

Thinking of the past, the young grandmother smiled bitterly.

"Actually, I've only been married for a few years, and I heard about these things when I was a girl. When I said goodbye to the third master, it was more than ten years ago, when the eldest lord had just attacked the title, and the emperor paid attention to it, and the Jingguo Mansion was the icing on the cake when the fire cooking oil was icing on the cake, where was the silver flower missing. At that time, the ancestor said goodbye to the third master, and it took a lot of thought, and finally picked and chosen, and it happened that your third master went out to play with people and met the third wife. At that time, the third wife was just the daughter of a merchant, and her family came from the north to do business. When the ancestor saw it, he said that since you like it, I can't disobey your wishes, so he mentioned your third wife to him. ”

The four girls listened, but they understood.

I thought that at that time, I didn't think that the family background of the three wives was not in the stream, who knew that for this daughter who married into the Houmen, they prepared ten miles of red makeup and how much gold and silver to marry. A few years later, the Jingguo Mansion gradually declined, but this one, with a certain amount of gold and silver in the box, actually became the king and became the hegemon.

The fourth girl still didn't understand, and frowned:

"Since our family used to be valued by the emperor, it has only been more than ten years, why has it declined. ”

In fact, these words, the four girls have not asked the eldest lady every day, but whenever they ask, the eldest lady is secretive, a child's family, don't ask what you shouldn't ask.

The fourth girl was precocious, and she had thought about these things in the first place.

The carriage made a turn, and Rao was a spacious carriage, but it also felt a little bumpy.

Leaning on the pillow at the back, the young grandmother sighed and said:

"It's hard to say this, but I vaguely know that it has something to do with the harem succession. ”

Today's crown prince is the eldest prince of the current dynasty, but he is not from the queen of the middle palace, but from the much-loved Xi Guifei. The queen mother herself has no appearance, and she has a prince born to a concubine who died early under her knees, and she is the fifth prince.

At that time, for the position of the crown prince, the important ministers of the court were divided into two factions and quarreled, and at that time, the Jingguo Mansion and the then Pingxi Hou were very close, and the Pingxi Hou was the foreign family of the five princes, so he bet on the five princes.

Who knows what happened next, no one would have thought that the queen mother had angered the emperor for some reason, and although she was not deposed as the queen, she was placed under house arrest in Fuxiu Palace and never came out.

The five princes were defeated suddenly, and the Jingguo Mansion, which supported the five princes, was also overturned. At that time, there were several small changes, and the money at home was spent like falling into water, and there was a famine, and the households in various places handed in very little. The emperor wanted to take out silver money for disaster relief, and the Jingguo Mansion, which was disliked by the saints at that time, had to cut meat and sell some fields, so he was barely reprimanded by the Son of Heaven.

The young grandmother squinted her eyes and leaned on the pillow.

If it weren't for this pile, how could she, the mother-in-law, be so shabby that she would go to the unruly person in the third room to discuss the transaction.

frowned slightly, but the fourth girl said:

"What happened to the eldest sister's marriage to King Ning back then?"

The young grandmother smiled and said:

"The eldest girl in our family, that is a fairy-like person, who knows everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and was famous when she was very young. At that time, the Holy One personally booked it, saying that this woman will be my royal wife. It's just that back then, in fact, our Jingguo Mansion was looking forward to marrying the five princes, who knew that the five princes were affected by the queen's mother, and they didn't like the emperor from then on. At that time, how many pairs of eyes looked at our Jingguo Mansion, helplessly, the ancestor was in a hurry, so he could only make the eldest girl hurriedly promise to the four princes. ”

"As for the four princes, the mother died early, and there is no support from outsiders, the most inconspicuous of these princes, the throne is naturally hopeless, so it also avoids the suspicion of the emperor. ”

Hearing this, the fourth girl nodded, and the doubts in her heart were solved.

However, who would have thought that the most inconspicuous four princes would finally ascend to the throne.

At this time, the carriage had arrived in front of the gate of King Ning's Mansion, and when he lifted the corner of the bead curtain, Ah Yan sighed as he looked at the gate of the three beast heads of the majestic King Ning's Mansion.

The vermilion gate, the copper nails on it are the size of the bowl, there is a large stone lion several people high on both sides, and the plaque is written on the door, but it is the five big characters of "creating Ning Wangfu" of the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing. But the door was not opened, but there was a servant woman and a butler standing there in front of the main gate to entertain the guests, and when he saw the guests coming, a butler greeted a group of people in a carriage and entered through the corner gate.

The carriage walked for about a dozen zhang, and then changed to the soft sedan chair of Ning Wangfu, and it was the servant woman of Ning Wangfu who carried the sedan chair. Although she is the most inferior servant, her dress is a little different from that of the Jingguo Mansion, and she looks extraordinarily decent. This servant of the royal family is different.

Cherish the sunshine and listen to the rain, and the second girl is curious, so she looked out from the soft sedan chair, but saw that the carved beams and pillars here, the pink walls and red bricks, are all new, and the half-new and not old of the Jingguo Mansion are naturally different. When the group of people entered the weeping flower gate, they walked along the verandah, but they saw that the verandah was extremely long, and it was as if it was as far as the eye could see. There is a delicate hole dug in the wall on one side of the verandah, and the windows are all carved, through the carved window lattice, it can be vaguely seen that there is a lamp in the wall hole, and on the side of the lamp, it is actually a lake?

The second girl and the others may not know, but Ah Yan does. This house was built by the King of Jin in the past, and the King of Jin was a profligate, and a huge lake was built in the house, called Bibo Lake. It's a pity that the king of Jin later broke down, and the house was idle.

Later, the emperor wanted to open a mansion for the four princes, took pity on him for losing his mother, and thought that he had been taking care of the nine princes for so many years, and the nine princes would also go out with him, so he simply gave him this house.

And about this blue wave lake, Ayan couldn't be clearer.

The blue wave lake is big, I don't know how many times bigger than the lake in my yard, and the water in it is also cold.

Thinking of this, Ah Yan couldn't help but want to pinch his fingers.

Thinking about the arrogant and ignorant self in the past, I was almost sweating.

Back then, she and the Nine Emperor Princes met by this lake, and they actually pushed him off the lake!

It's really a shame that the Nine Emperor Princes are big-hearted, and he didn't even care about it, but later he chose his brother to be an imperial businessman, and it seems that he didn't affect Shen Congjia because he had offended him.

Shen Congjia's official road, it was all the way back then.

Ah Yan thought sourly, he couldn't offend him again in this life.
