Sifang didn't expect them to lie down on Jiang Huizhi's entry into the palace, and they all waited relaxed to see the excitement.

However, Xin Ke was slow to move because of the furniture that his wife had saved in Guanzhou for so many years, and it would take some time to arrive. So this excitement has to be slowed down before it can be seen.

But the battle for Jiang Yadan's stepwife's position - this excitement in the capital has risen.

After Zhuang Man and Ou Qinglan went home that day, according to Qiu Yulan's meaning, they each let out a rumor that they had heard the news about Jiang Yadan's stepwife candidate from the nineteenth young lady of the Jiang family, and sure enough, they turned their heads and welcomed countless visitors.

After the two smiled at the guests' gifts, they very simply explained the specific situation and inventory of An Zhenshang.

At this moment, the people who were interested in competing for Jiangya Danyue's family stopped pinching, sat down and discussed, and agreed that An Zhenshang should be eliminated first, and then everyone should rely on their own means!

After Qiu Yulan received this news, she didn't take An Zhenshang to heart anymore, the An family was not a famous family in the first place, even if Jiang Yadan sent someone to protect her for private use, how could she resist the joint calculations of so many people?

She felt that this Miss Ann was dead.

So at the end of November, when Qiu Yulan went to Mrs. Tao to ask Mrs. Tao for an invitation, she was just in time for Mrs. Tao to ask Mother Hu to prepare something to reward An Zhenshang after entering the door, and she was very surprised: "Why is she still her?!" ”

"Just as a concubine brought in!" Despite this, Mrs. Tao's face was still not good-looking, she kissed An'er on the cheek, and called the nurse to carry her to the inner room, so as not to be disturbed by the sound of conversation, so she said lightly, "She is pregnant, and it is said that she is still a twin...... The An family gave a generous gift to the big house and stabbed this to your grandfather! Your grandfather said, "It's okay to enter the door, but not to the main room." That side was actually smart this time, and didn't dare to bargain, so he responded directly! ”

"It's all on the joints and bargaining, what is it that isn't death?" Qiu Yulan complained in her heart and asked, "Have you already entered the door?" "Concubines are bought and sold, and it is not an important thing to enter the door, at most the table is lively, but considering that An Zhenshang is pregnant, and Mrs. Tao doesn't like her, it is estimated that the wine is not available.

Sure enough, Mrs. Tao said coldly: "Ming'er sent a small sedan chair to carry it, thinking of the heir in her womb, I will reward some medicinal herbs...... As for the banquet, it's free, your starling's stepwife hasn't been decided yet, who will handle this for her? Anyway, the An family said it, just to ask for a future for the two children in her belly, and the others are all graces! ”

Qiu Yulan groaned: "The granddaughter-in-law and the sixteenth sister-in-law ......"

"There are more concubines in your starling's backyard, and there are many children who have children, what's so strange? Never mind it! Old Madam Tao said very simply.

Qiu Lulan was also impatient to pay attention to this An clan, and nodded happily when she heard this: "Listen to grandmother!" ”

I talked to the old lady again, and the nurse came out and said that An'er was tired, so she got up and took An'er back to the house to sleep.

When he returned to his yard, he placed An'er and Shui Jin suddenly visited.

Qiu Yulan was a little surprised, and invited her to serve tea in the small flower hall, and asked, "Why did the fourteenth sister-in-law come in person?" After the fall of the Gu family, He Shuijin lay down for a few more days before he "gradually" got better - in the middle of this, the He family had to take care of the huge Guogong Mansion, and he had to deal with the Chi family's bright and secret eye medicine, which was really exhausting!

Until recently, He's didn't know if he really couldn't hold on, or he really couldn't stand it, he fell ill on the couch and couldn't get up, and Shui Jin stood up with a deep sense of righteousness, saying that since his mother is not in good health, this family can't be taken care of, although my daughter-in-law is not in good health, but I can't lie down, let's come out and do things......

For this reason, Qin Guogong and Jiang Tianqi praised her for being sensible and filial, and each had her own reward.

Now that the end of the year is approaching, not to mention that the Guogong Mansion has been managed by the He family for nearly a year, all kinds of messes need to be adjusted with water and gold, even if she has been at home, there should be nothing empty in this meeting.

Coming here in person is obviously the right thing.

Sure enough, He Shui Jin took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Isn't it entrusted by others?" ”

She is short of time at the moment, and she is familiar with Qiu Lulan, and she doesn't go around in circles, and says bluntly: "Isn't this starling wanting to marry?" Someone found me! ”

Qiu Yulan frowned: "Who?" ”

"Sixth sister-in-law!" He Shuijin said helplessly, "Her maiden sister wanted to tell King Lu before, but didn't she succeed?" After that, I also looked at a few families and was not very satisfied, so I wanted to give it to the starling. Otherwise, I'm so busy now that I don't know how to do it, and I won't pay attention to other people's intercession! ”

"The sixth sister-in-law's maiden sister?" Qiu Yulan thought for a while and asked, "Do you know about An's entry into the door, sister-in-law?" ”

He Shuijin, as the head of the Guogong Mansion, is naturally well-informed, and he bowed his head when he heard the words: "Naturally, count her acquaintance!" If you are still delusional about the position of the main room, the two in your stomach will not have a chance to land! ”

"Does the sixth sister-in-law know?"

"What if you got it?" He Shuijin snorted, "So many people are intriguing to give their daughter to the starling, what is the picture?" People who care about it don't mention it anymore! ”

Qiu Yulan said: "Okay, but it's useless for you to tell me about this, grandmother is not very good at calling the shots in this matter, how can I speak?" ”

He Shuijin smiled: "Grandmother can still say something, otherwise why can't An's be able to do the main room?" Moreover, the Queen Mother can also speak. After a pause, he said, "Actually, if you know the thoughts of your grandmother and the queen mother, if Xiao Shi's continuation of the starling brother doesn't annoy these two, I suggest you agree." ”

Qiu Yulan was surprised and asked, "Why?" ”

"Have you forgotten that the kings chose concubines before, and none of the sixth sisters-in-law's maiden sisters were chosen, but your cousin Wang should arrive?" He Shui Jin said, "After I looked at the sixth sister-in-law, I was a little angry with you, thinking that you were favored by nineteen and spoke for your cousin." But she didn't say it, and I can't explain it to you. So if you are like their sisters' grievances this time, you will have one less enemy in the future! ”

"That time, the eleventh sister-in-law also came to tell me about Zhuang Man in person!" Qiu Yulan's face was gloomy, "If you want to say that I am suspicious of this matter, the most suspicious person is the dealer!" But two days ago, Man'er still came to play with me, but there was no barrier at all! The sixth sister-in-law is fun—let's not talk about whether her suspicion is right or not, even if I really squeeze out her maiden sister for Cousin Wang? I don't know her well, let alone her maiden sister! ”

Originally, Qiu Lulan was not a low-lying person, how could he eat Shi's set of anger?

So he snorted coldly and told He Shuijin, "You don't need to go to the mouth of the Queen Mother and grandmother, I won't interfere in the affairs of the Shi family!" They have the ability to stuff their daughter into the fourth room to be my sister-in-law, I also admit it, if they don't have the ability, then continue to find Ruyi Langjun for their daughter! ”

If you are suspicious, you will still do something for you, so as to eliminate your suspicion and hostility?! I owe you nothing!

Although it was said that the Shi family had the ability to make their young lady into Jiang Ba's stepwife, she would admit it herself, but what Qiu Yulan thought in her heart was that it was strange for me to let this little Shi family enter the door of the fourth room!

He Shuijin didn't force it: "Then I'll tell the sixth sister-in-law, grandmother and the queen mother seem to have plans, and it's not good for you to intervene." ”

"Just tell her that I won't help her!" Qiu Yulan snorted.

He Shuijin smiled and said, "Anyway, I'm going to say it, what do you care about me?" ”

After she left, Qiu Yulan beckoned to Su Helai: "Go and ask if the Shi family really blames me for her mother's sister-in-law not being a princess?!" ”

Yes and Shui Jin, she is still a little uneasy.

Not long after Su He left, Chun Ran came in with a post: "Miss Xin Biao's post said that Mrs. Wugu brought a lot of specialties from Guanzhou, so she plans to set up a banquet to entertain friends in the lower boudoir, please be sure to come!" ”

"In the end, the biological mother is different!" Qiu Yulan said to the left and right while opening the post, "Although it was said that the Xin family had an old lady presiding over it before, but the old lady is old and doesn't go out often, and it's a family with our family, and there are many things to talk about, and it's not easy to do or say." Cousin Xin has been sent back to Beijing for so many years, and the Xin family can't afford to have a banquet, this is the first time that they have to set up a banquet at home! ”

Haruran smiled and said, "It's still thanks to you!" ”

Qiu Yulan, who spoke, had already finished reading the post, and the time of the appointment was very close, just two days later - in fact, with Qiu Yulan's familiarity with her, there is no need for posts to come and go now, but this time it is probably the first time that Xin Fubing has set up a banquet to entertain friends, and she is very happy, and she is specially organized according to the official one.

asked someone to put the post in the box to put it away, Qiu Yulan decided not to spoil the interest of his friends, so he specially rummaged through the cabinets and took out the strength of the first time he participated in the banquet after his filial piety to toss and wear, and it was important to show respect for Xin Fubing as the official proprietor for the first time!

…… On the day of the banquet, she dressed up and rushed to Xinfu, thinking that even if there was no lantern in Hefu, at least the backyard should be dressed up and embroidered brilliantly, and the clothes and temples everywhere should be bright, right?

As a result, Zhuang Man and Xin Fubing, who arrived first, looked at her in amazement: "Cousin, cousin, who are you?!" ”

Qiu Yulan, who was dressed in a dress and had countless pearls, looked at the two of them angrily - it didn't matter if these two guys were actually wearing regular clothes, Xin Fubing, the owner, was wearing new clothes, and Zhuang Man's skirts were only six or seven percent new!

Where is this the appearance of a formal banquet, and it may not be so casual for a distant relative's house to have a light meal!

"Didn't you officially post it? I thought you were going to have a serious feast! Qiu Yulan gritted her teeth, "It's just a casual banquet, you can say it!" ”

“…… But I invited your cousin-in-law, Man'er and A-Xing! Xin Fubing couldn't help laughing, "I want to be very lively, but can the four of them be lively?!" What else can I do besides a casual meal? ”

Qiu Yulan sat down depressedly, looked around and was really ready to entertain three guests, so he complained: "Why did you invite the three of us?" We usually get together a lot, okay? Do you still need a special post? I thought you'd invite your cousins or something this time! Tete wore a dress and a hairpin to support the scene! ”

Xin Fubing smiled and hugged her shoulders from behind to apologize: "It's me who didn't make it clear!" Actually, I wanted to send someone over to say it, but the apricot blossom note that my mother brought back from Guanzhou was fragrant and beautiful, so I couldn't help but write it! I feel that it is better to be happy alone than to be happy with everyone, so I simply write a post for you so that you can also take a look! ”

"What do you see?" Qiu Yulan said speechlessly, "I didn't pay attention to it at all, and after reading it, I let people put it in the box!" "She can't even remember what color the invitation was now!

"If I had been two or three years ago, I would have invited a lot of people here!" Xin Fengbing plucked the beads on her hairpin and said seriously, "But after these two years, I think it's enough to invite the four of you, and the others will not be too disinterested if they come!" I want to be happy, and I also want the guests to be happy, you say that Mi Yinyin and the others are here, can we be happy? So don't blame me, cousin! ”

Qiu Yulan's heart softened when she heard her say this: "Okay, it's me who will be wrong, do I really blame you?" ”

Zhuang Man had been looking at it with a smile before, and now he said: "It's too insincere to make amends like this, why do you have to do something for your cousin-in-law?" ”

Xin Fubing smiled and said, "This is natural, just ask my cousin!" ”

"If you don't say it, I'll almost forget!" Qiu Yulan originally wanted to say no, but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly remembered, "Earlier, the palace maid Ni Jin in front of the Queen Mother entrusted me with something, and it was last year, but I haven't done it until now." ”

"What is it?" Xin Fubing hurriedly said, "I didn't dare to give you a packing ticket before, but now that my mother is back, she is more convenient than our juniors to talk to the Queen Mother!" ”R638
