Ning suddenly felt that the Guerjia clan was very pathetic, she used to use this GT one, but the other party didn't realize that she had become a clown, and she didn't know what kind of eyes the onlookers looked at her.

Guerga chattered about how good his sisters, including cousins and cousins, were, incomparable to the ladies of ordinary people, and how stupid people who didn't marry them. When she said this, she also deliberately glanced at Shuning. But Shuning just pretended to be a well-behaved and shy bride, listening with low eyebrows, but from time to time the corners of her eyes peeked at the reactions of the concubines behind Ji Fujin, Guo Fujin, Li Fujin and Guerjia.

A few Fujin just smiled and drank tea and ate dim msum, occasionally exchanging a few opinions with each other about the taste of dim sum or tea varieties, and basically did not express an opinion on Guerjia's words, and even looked very interested. A few concubines were submissive, and only that Ilgen Jue Luo clan was frowning, and it was obvious that he was frowning. Shuning was a little cold, even Guo Fujin, who was very kind last night, didn't say anything, it seems that this person is not as kind as she originally thought, and I am afraid that there is a little Jiujiu in her heart, right?

Shuning had heard of the disputes in Prince Jian's mansion for a long time, and because the eldest son had not been crowned the prince for a long time, there was some discord with his brothers. And Ji Fujin himself has three sons, and he also has plans for his own children. I heard that she had a feud with the Guerjia clan, which should have been caused by the position of the prince. As long as Tongying is estranged from her eldest brother and turns to her side, then whether her son has to be crowned the son of the world, or Tongying has to be crowned the son, she can be beneficial. But Tongying doesn't seem to have any thoughts about the throne of the world, and she is a mother and brother who are siblings, and they are willing to care about such a sister-in-law. So, in principle, he is on the side of his brother Yarjana. As his wife, no matter how much he hates the Guerjia clan, he can't be an accomplice on Ji Fujin's side.

As for Guo Fujin and Li Fujin, they both have sons, do they have any ideas about the throne?

Shuning felt that there was a bit of a mess in her mind, so she should ask Tongying after going home before making a decision.

"Brother and sister, did you listen to me?!" Guerjia found that Shuning was a little absent-minded. Anger is rising.

Shuning sighed in her heart, feeling that this sister-in-law was really not smart. embarrassed the newlyweds on the wedding day, and deliberately belittled gt= elders on the ground. If she really thinks about her husband's throne, she should win herself over, right? What's the point of saying so much about what you don't have here?

So she said softly: "Sister-in-law's words, my younger brother and sister really don't understand, but my sister-in-law is a little dissatisfied with this marriage?" ”

Guerjia raised his eyebrows: "You are still self-aware, then ......" "Of course you are satisfied!" Ilgen Jue Luo interrupted her and said with a smile: "The second lady is really good at laughing. This is a marriage that the emperor personally refers to, how can our wife be dissatisfied? Madame is just to introduce you to a few sisters, who will be relatives in the future, and you can also come and go more. As he spoke, he flew a glance at the Guerjia clan, and glanced at a few Fujin by the way.

Guerjia's face turned red at first, and after understanding the meaning of Ilgen Jueluo's words, his face turned white again, and he naturally followed her gaze to look at several Fujin. After discovering that the other party seemed to be a little funny, a wave of anger surged up, but he still held back.

She felt that she had fallen into someone else's trap, but she didn't dare to say anything to these nominal elders, turned to Shuning, and remembered that the other party was appointed by the emperor, so she had to spread her anger on Ilgen Jue Luo: "I'm talking to my younger siblings, what are you talking about?!" Don't forget who you are! She even flicked her sleeves at the concubine.

Ilgen felt that Roche had taken a big step backwards, and was caught by the maid ring, so that he did not fall. The girl was upset with her master first: "Madam." We're pregnant, how can you do that?! But he was stopped by Ilgen Jue Luo: "Don't say it, Xiaoyu, it's mine." Then he straightened up. Humbly said to the Guerja clan, "Madame." The slave knew she was wrong. ”

The Guerga clan glanced at her contemptuously, and then the Jifu Jin Borzigit clan spoke: "Yo." It turns out that Yingluo is already pregnant? This is your daughter-in-law, you're wrong, she's a person with a body, it's no longer appropriate to let her stand and wait, how can you still push her? Then he ordered the men to set up more stools for Ilgen to sit down.

Ilgen felt that Roche pushed back again and again before he sat down with an uneasy expression. Guerjia's face was almost crooked, and he glared at her fiercely, she looked aggrieved, and tears rolled and rolled in her eyes.

Shuning saw that she was no longer the focus, but she was also happy to watch the play, she had a good impression of Brother Tongying's concubine, but why did she think this situation was familiar?

Borzigit turned his head and smiled at Shuning: "What your sister-in-law said just now is inappropriate, I'll accompany you for her, don't you be angry with her." Shuning frowned slightly and smiled, "How come?" My sister-in-law just introduced me to her sister-in-law. Speaking of which, I heard that my eldest brother and sister-in-law have a son, who is three years old, and he is the most intelligent and clever, why don't you see him today? "It's not easy for her to get out, but she doesn't want to be dragged in and targeted again.

When Guerjia heard her praise her son, she was also a little happy in her heart, and felt that this younger brother and sister also had some vision, so she said: "In the house, the weather is cold, how can his child withstand it?" So I won't let him out. Several Fujin looked at each other a few times, and they were all a little disdainful.

Shuning deliberately asked about this child, and saw that the Guerjia clan's attention gradually shifted, so she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This kind of meeting is really tiring, if it weren't for Tongying's sake, she really didn't want to stay any longer. Recalling the gaze he had just left, she took a deep breath and picked herself up again to deal with these troublesome women.

Fortunately, the men had not been there for long, and after an hour or so, Prince Jane returned with his sons. When Shuning saw Tongying, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief. However, she still noticed that after listening to Yahuan's words, Yarjianga frowned at his wife, and softly comforted Ilgen Jue Luo. Guerga's face was crooked again, and he didn't say a word at dinner.

At dinner, Shuning arranged vegetables for her in-laws according to the rules of the new daughter-in-law, waited for the meal, and waited for them to eat. I ate my share at the small table. Prince Jian was very satisfied, and said that there was no need to set up such rules in the future, and his family did not have to be polite. Ji Fujin glanced at the Guerjia clan and said with a smile: "She really deserves to be the daughter of a wealthy family, she just understands the rules." Gualga's face was even more crooked.

Shuning lowered her head and frowned slightly, thinking that she didn't mean to

That's right, it's exactly according to my mother's instructions, anyway. lest they be gossiped. Anyway, I don't live here, so it's okay to be wronged once in a while.

After the meal, Shuning said goodbye to Tongying and left. After the group walked a certain distance, Tongying got off the horse and got into the car. Seeing his wife's tired face, he said with some distress: "I'm sorry, I wronged you, I'm very tired, right?" Shuning smiled and shook her head, pulling him over to sit beside her. Tong Ying shoved her cold hand into her arms and warmed her.

Shuning asked, "You went to Prince Kang's mansion in the afternoon, how is Prince Kang?" Can you see Baltu? Cousin's child. What is the disease? Tong Ying said: "It's too medical, Prince Kang has woken up, but his mind is not clear, and he can only recuperate now." Baltu's daughter is just a minor cold, so it's out of the way, and we can send someone to visit her another day. ”

"Can't you go by yourself?" Shuning asked.

Tong Ying said: "I don't care, but his daughters and relatives are taking care of Prince Kang, you go to see your cousin alone." It's a little inconvenient. ”

Shuning thinks about it, the rules of Prince Kang's Mansion are quite big, and she has that temperament, so life there must not be easy, so don't trouble her.

The carriage went straight along the avenue, Shuning leaned on Tongying's shoulder, Qi Qi closed her eyes and rested, suddenly, she heard a familiar voice, so she straightened up and lifted the curtain to look out. Sure enough, not far away, the red lanterns in the baron's mansion were hanging brightly, and Wang Er was shouting at the gate to lead the horses.

The carriage ran by, and Shuning looked at the smaller and smaller gates. I had a feeling of indescribability. Suddenly, my back was warm. Tong Ying leaned in, rested her chin on her shoulder, reached out to help her lower the curtain, and said softly: "Don't worry, we can go back tomorrow, and in another month, we will go to live for another month." ”

Shuning smiled, nestled into his arms, and continued to close his eyes and recuperate.

When they returned to Beizi Mansion, they changed out of their coats and shrunk into the house in home-style cotton robes. There is a kang in the east of the main house, which has been burning for a day, Tong Ying moved away the kang table, let his wife half lie on the kang, covered with a thin quilt, and he gently helped her rub her legs and feet. Shuning was a little embarrassed, and felt that his movements were a little strange, and blushed to push him away. Tong Ying grinned and hugged her feet.

The young couple were flirting and scolding, and Su Xin cautiously inquired outside, saying that the chief steward outside had sent the reward from the palace. Shuning and Tongying remembered that they had gained a lot today, and the emperor also sent a gift to Beizi Mansion afterwards, so they asked people to take all these things to the kang, and the two of them played with them.

The emperor sent a set of four treasures of the study, a pair of crystal mandarin ducks, a pair of incense bags and two silk horses, Prince Jian and Ji Fujin were the most generous, and sent a complete set of red gold and gem-inlaid jewelry and a knife with gems on the handle and sheath, which made people dazzled. Other people's, there are jade bracelets, coral hairpins, white jade pendants, gold inlaid bracelets, as well as large and small jade jade pendants, among which there are even small round mirrors, copper gilt backs, extremely delicate patterns. It was given to the sister-in-law of the Guerjia clan, and Shuning ignored the meaning of it, only interested in the artistry of the mirror, and decided to put it in her dresser.

Tong Ying saw that his wife Wei Yu didn't care about writing a post, and he didn't say anything, he just picked and chose those ornaments, saying that this style is old-fashioned, and it can be melted and re-played, that is not suitable for women, it belongs to him, which hairpin is matched with which bracelet, which material is suitable for what clothes...... The discussion was very interesting.

In a rare leisure moment, someone came to disturb uninterestingly, and the housekeepers in this house called someone to ask Tongying, can you let the family wait to meet the new master and kowtow to Mrs. to say goodbye? In particular, several Zhuangzi heads have been waiting for them since three days before the wedding, waiting to return to the village.

Tongying frowned, feeling that his wife was already very tired, these people really didn't know each other. Shuning knew that this should be the rule, because she would return to the door tomorrow, so she could show off her wealth to the woman's family through the bride. They came back later than expected, so it's been delayed until now, and it's good to have time for them to rest. The first time I got married, I saw the people in the house, but I still couldn't let them underestimate it, so I persuaded Tongying to agree.

Tongying frowned: "But you're tired all day today, how can you afford to eat?" Shuning smiled: "This is different. I have to make rules outside, so I'm naturally tired, but now at home, I just need to sit comfortably. I'm in good health, what's this exertion? But...... Do you have to kowtow? "She's still a little unused to that.

Tongying smiled: "I don't like to ask people to kowtow, so I only let them play Qian'er on weekdays, but the first time we meet, let's follow the rules." lest there be any gossip from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Besides, you have married me. Sooner or later, you have to get used to it. ”

Shuning reluctantly responded. That's right, now you have to get used to not only kowtowing to others to yourself, but also kowtowing to people who are not tablets and parents and close relatives. Since she chose this man, she can only choose this way of life.

Tong Ying ordered to go down, gather the people in charge of all places, and came back and said to Shu Ning: "It's going to take a while, just need to see a few leaders, and the rest will be seen slowly later." Let's wait here for now. Shuning nodded, climbed down from the kang, and asked Frangipani and Holly to get the open clothes. I also tidied up some messy hair.

Tong Ying slowly introduced a few special people to her: "There are two gentlemen and two guards in the west courtyard in front, not subordinates, but they all live here." Mr. Shi taught me homework, and because I felt more and more inadequate in recent years, I invited a master to come and ask for advice at any time. Mr. Jiang has good skills in calligraphy and painting, and I don't understand something, so it is inconvenient to ask the teacher. I went to ask him, but most of the time he was helping me frame and print. The two guards were sent by the emperor to go out with me, and they have a home in the capital, but they have a room to rest here. ”

Shu Ning nodded, those two gentlemen probably existed similar to Mr. Su in the past, but they were more like Qingkemen and the like.

Tong Ying continued: "There are also people sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I am Beizi, a lord who has entered eight points, and I can use eunuchs according to the system. I didn't use it before, but after the opening of the government, the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent two. I'm afraid you're uncomfortable. So they didn't go into the house to wait for the first time, but I am afraid that they will not be able to avoid it later. I will probably let the eunuchs come. ”

Shuning was stunned: "Why?" ”

"When I was a child, I also used Yahuan Pozi, but it didn't last long. Afterward...... I found that the maids sent by the family all had some ideas. So he simply let Tianyang wait closely, but he is old now. I became a relative, and he didn't want to stay in the inner house anymore, but I didn't want Yahuan to get too close.

Tong Ying smiled bitterly with some embarrassment. Shuning's eyes rolled, but she didn't feel so unacceptable: "I don't mean to look down on these people, just do what you want." "The maid ring she brought is certainly trustworthy, but what the maid ring here will think, she doesn't know, calling the eunuch may be a little awkward, but it's better than letting people get into the loophole.

Tongying was very happy to hear it: "That's great, don't worry, I picked the person and can be trusted." In fact...... They are also poor people. By the way, there are also two grandmothers, who are also from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, I know the temperament of these people, you don't have to take it to heart, you can do whatever you want. ”

Shuning responded one by one, and someone outside came to inform that everyone had arrived, so she tidied up Tongying's collar and went to the front yard lobby with him.

The name of Mr. Shi, who came to meet first, looks like he is nearly sixty years old, with three long beards, and his temperament is somewhat like Mr. Cai. Mr. Jiang is famous, but he is still young, only in his thirties. Tong Ying was very respectful of them, and Shuning followed and saluted and politely sent them away.

The two guards, both Lan Ling, one Feng Yibai, and one Sun Mingze, are both soldiers from humble backgrounds. They receive public salaries, Beizi Mansion also pays allowances, and Feng guards even have families. The two of them greeted each other and left first.

I don't know if it's an illusion, Shu Ning always felt that the voice of the Sun guard was a little familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere.

The eunuchs mentioned by Tongying are actually an old man and a young man. The old one's name was Rodean, in his early fifties, with a horse's face and a very serious expression. Shu Ning was very glad that his voice was only a little soft, not like some eunuchs who were neither male nor female, although it seemed difficult to get along with, but listening to him, he was organized and reasonable, and he should be a capable person.

He is the head of internal affairs in the house, and the affairs of the inner courtyard are handled by him, and whatever Shuning has to do in the future, he will also do it through him. Because of his background in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Shuning was a little wary, but he still politely met the courtesy.

There is also a little eunuch, named Xiao Lanzi, who is only thirteen or fourteen years old, and Shuning looks at him about the same age as his little brother, and her heart is a little sour.

As for the two grandmothers. They had already seen it before, and their companions had returned to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, leaving them here to continue their lives. One of them is surnamed Xia and the other is surnamed Jin, look at that style, it is not like Mama Cui, but there is some Mama He, but she is not as arrogant.

Originally, there were four rings in the inner courtyard. Linglan, Lingrong, Qiuyi and Qiuyun, although they are not close. But it's not comparable to the rough girls, they all have clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes. Shuning remained silent, once again firming up Tongying's idea of using a eunuch to wait for a living place. With those two fathers-in-law, as well as their own maid ring, it is enough. These beauties are doing chores for the time being, just do some needlework, and when they are confirmed that there is no danger, it is not too late to let go.

The introduction of the inner courtyard is over, and it is the turn of the outer courtyard. The head of foreign affairs in this mansion is a middle-aged man named Yin Jiufang. With a round head and big ears, he is very kind when he looks at it, but his eyes are shining.

The two village heads, Ma Si and Wu Xudong, are in charge of the two hot spring villages in Changping, and they are said to be quite capable. Right now, I'm busy going back to take care of the harvest, so it's very hard.

Shuning smiled, the harvest at this time? Bullied her for not knowing about farming? But ignore it for now. Tong Ying rewarded the silver. They asked them to rush back tomorrow morning, and she didn't stop them.

There are more than 60 male and female servants in Beizi Mansion, not counting Zhuangzi's land. Although there are fewer people, it is still considerable. Most of them live in the two long courtyards or backyards in the front and head, and a few, such as Fan Da, the gardener in the garden, and a few mothers-in-law and family members in the night, live in the garden.

Among these people, only the people who led the affairs from all over the place came into the house to pay a visit, and Shuning did not see them one by one. But just like that, I went for most of the hour. After the meeting. Shuning secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Tong Ying leaned close to her ear and said, "Are you tired?" Actually, it's pretty good, because only the two of us are serious masters, and the place is not big, so I rejected a lot of people. Otherwise, there will be more. ”

Shuning nodded. There are more people than Fangshan Villa, which is good. She also asked some of the people who were married to meet with the others. Among them, Wang Yin is the steward of the Zhuangzi of the Juma River, and he can talk to the two Zhuangtou. Linglan and the others saw that Su Xin and the others could wait in the house as soon as they came over, and their thoughts were a little complicated.

Shuning looked at them, and suddenly remembered someone: "I remember that there was a Master Ji by your side in the past, why don't you see it today?" ”

Tong Ying sighed: "Last year, when I went to the northwest, he went with me, and he was taken by people, and now he is a riding school." ”

Shu Ning listened with some pity: "I still want to ask him to guide Brother Xian again." ”

"It's not impossible." Tong Ying said, "I bought him a small courtyard nearby and sent two servants, and he will go back to live when he is free." When the time comes, just bring Xianning over. ”

Shuning thought about it, so she smiled and nodded.

After the matter was over, Shuning was finally able to go back to the house to rest, but she still had the account book sent by Luo An and Yin Jiufang in her hand. She nested on the kang with Tongying, feeling that it was warmer here, and planned to live in the east room tonight. The two looked at the ledger carefully, discussing a few words from time to time.

It seems that in addition to the annual Yulu and the red envelopes given by the emperor, Beizi Mansion also has a lot of income. Two hot spring Zhuangzi, are 30 hectares of good fertile land, most of the wheat planting, each has five hectares of rice, the rest of the field, a Zhuangzi is planted with melons, fruits and vegetables, a Zhuangzi is planted with flowers and trees, in the first half of this year, it made a lot of money, and now it is close to the cold winter wax moon, and the money is just right. Tongying became independent from Prince Jian's mansion, and also got two shops and a restaurant, which are now managed by Yin Jiufang, and the profits are good.

Although it is still a newly opened mansion and has no savings, Tongying has gained a lot of property because of his military exploits, and there are thousands of taels of silver alone, not to mention valuables. In this Beizi Mansion, the family background may not be comparable to others, but it is no problem to live a more comfortable life.

Shuning glanced at Tongying: "It turns out ...... Are you a rich man? I thought you were so pathetic that no one made clothes. ”

Tongying coughed: "This ...... I've been rich recently, and besides, my wife is also a rich man's wife. ”

"That's a terrible name."

"Then it's better to call the housekeeper's wife, anyway, this family will be handed over to you in the future."

“…… Just as ugly! A ledger tapped through.
