Qiu Yulan told her husband about her conjecture, but Jiang Yashuang shook her head after thinking about it: "Although my father is not as clear as my mother, what I care about is the children and grandchildren of our Jiang family!" ”

The sale of concubines is like goods, how can it be important enough for the owner of a house to care?

"But in the end, they are the biological mothers of the nephews and nieces, the so-called rat trap, wasn't Heng'er just because she witnessed the death of her biological mother, and she didn't seem to be willing to speak until now?" Qiu Yulan reminded, "When the eighth sister-in-law led them to see their father that day, the father saw that he was the oldest, so he specially called to him to ask for his homework, but Heng'er was silent, and the eighth sister-in-law's face changed. ”

"With my father's city, even if I didn't know the reason for Heng'er's loss of voice beforehand, how could I not ask afterwards? Could it be that this annoys us? ”

Jiang Yashuang still shook his head: "You forgot your father's estrangement from me and his affection for starling, and it was like this when he woke up." The nephews and nieces haven't been able to meet their grandfather yet! Moreover, these things have nothing to do with us, my father ......" groaned and reminded, "My father's generation is used to letting go of the backyard affairs, and the starling's backyard cleanup was ordered by his mother himself, and his father will not interfere, let alone express dissatisfaction with it." ”

The Jiang family's habit of grasping the wives inside and out, and being the husband, returning home without asking about everything, was caused by the objective conditions of Qin Guogong's generation. Jiang Tianchi, as the second son of Qin Guogong's first concubine, has been exposed to it since he was a child, so he is naturally used to not asking.

It seems that Qiu Yulan's speculation is indeed wrong.

"Why don't you ask your mother?" Qiu Yulan proposed, "Don't we do something wrong, so that my father is a mustard?" ”

Jiang Yashuang hesitated for a moment, but didn't agree: "Maybe my father just felt that the starling fell into the hands of the big house and was cheated hard, so he made more compensation for him?" Don't ask, you know your mother's temper, in case you turn around and question your father, you don't have to make your father sad! ”

In the final analysis, years of separation have become estrangement, so even if it is a biological son, there are all kinds of scruples.

In this case, Qiu Yulan didn't force it, anyway, although Jiang Tianchi was more affectionate to his eldest son, he didn't abuse his younger son - in the meeting gift sent out to buy for his grandchildren before leaving this time, Jiang Jingkun and Jiang Jinglang's two grandsons are the same, and the share of the grandson Fu'er, except for an inkstone that is different from the two cousins, the others are also the same.

The concubine below is different from the granddaughter - it can be seen that although Jiang Tianchi is a little selfish, he follows the rules on the scene. Qiu Yulan is not a person who is careful enough to think that the elders can't be partial at all, and if they want to be biased, they can only be partial to their own husband and wife, and now her husband doesn't approve of getting to the bottom of it, so she will give up.

Time flies, the first month flies by, Beijing has ushered in the season of recovery of all things, plum blossoms in February and apricots in March, flowers bloom like the sea on the splendid slope, mighty and vast.

In a blink of an eye, it was time for the peony to move the imperial capital in April.

At this time, the funeral system, the nephew and the niece-grandwife kept filial piety for the uncle for five months. Jibei Hou was in early November last year, and at the beginning of April this year, the grandchildren of the Guogong Mansion took the lead in filial piety.

Although it is only a filial piety period of less than half a year, there are also many things backlog-

"Tomorrow I will enter the palace to meet the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother's clothes, don't let the children scratch the dirty!" Qiu Yulan inserted a gilt silver-inlaid jade hairpin in the mirror, although as a nephew and granddaughter-in-law is out of filial piety, but the ancestors and fathers of the Guogong Mansion are still guarding it, at this time the dress should be more careful: it is inconvenient to go out if you are too plain, and it will pierce the hearts of the elders if you wear too much gaudy - it is more time-consuming than dressing up in filial piety, "Check the congratulatory gift for the queen again!" And ......"

Halfway through the order, Su He lifted the curtain and came in, and said, "The ginseng bought by the fourteenth young lady has been brought, but the fourteenth young lady refused to accept the money, saying that she would treat her as a princess and her beloved daughter." ”

"If you don't take it, you won't accept it! She is not short of this, and the next time she looks for an opportunity, she will return her personal affection. Qiu Yulan turned around, "What about ginseng?" Show me. ”

Su He handed over the brocade box, and only then opened it, and a touch of fragrance with a bitter smell permeated out. The ginseng in the box is full and shiny, almost human-shaped, and it is obviously the best choice in terms of appearance and medicinal properties.

"I'm going to say goodbye to my mother in a moment." Qiu Yulan closed it with satisfaction, "I can bring it over!" ”

…… Jiang Qizheng and Qiu Feng originally planned to return to Beijing to avoid the limelight in Shazhou, after all, the eldest son of the two was here, although Qiu Yulan and others helped take care of them, their own blood and blood were so young, they must be raised in person to rest assured.

As a result, in the middle of last year, Jiang Qizheng was pregnant again, and when Mrs. Zhuang's letter arrived there after the Lantern Festival, she was about to give birth. Qiu Feng wrote back to explain, saying that after his wife was full moon, if the adults and children could stand it, he would immediately return to Beijing and reunite with his mother-in-law.

In February, Jiang Qizheng gave birth to a daughter, the mother and daughter were safe, and after the full confinement, the family of three embarked on the road back to Beijing.

Afraid of bumping the mother and daughter, they walked very slowly. From March to April, there are still a hundred miles away from the capital, not to mention, the next person who went to visit on the order of Mrs. Zhuang came back and said that Jiang Qizheng's complexion was not very good, and he seemed to be tired from a long journey.

Mrs. Zhuang felt sorry for her daughter, and Zhang Luo said that when her daughter and son-in-law came back, she must make up for them - Qiu Lulan naturally can't be indifferent, so why don't you ask Shui Jin to buy a good ginseng and bring it to her mother-in-law?

"You are usually busy enough to take care of three children, this month's filial piety, and just in time for your brother-in-law's major affairs, you have to enter the palace to congratulate the queen, eighteen here I can watch it, why do you want to get involved?" Mrs. Zhuang was very happy to see the ginseng, but she still scolded her daughter-in-law, "I accepted the ginseng on behalf of the eighteenth this time, don't worry so much next time!" What if you are tired and call the children? ”

Qiu Yulan smiled and said: "Mother is the most hurtful, but it's just a ginseng, where do you worry about it?" ”

Chu Yitong, who was sitting opposite her, smiled dignifiedly, but her smile was a little stiff - her mother-in-law felt sorry for her daughter, who would be stupid enough to be a daughter-in-law not to do what she liked? Chu Yitong also spent his efforts, and sent Zhu Mother back to her parents' house to inform her that she used the heritage of the palace and brought a good Ganoderma lucidum.

It's just that the heritage of Huainan Wangfu can't be compared with the Xihe Wangfu handed down from the founding of the country, even if the essence of Xihe Wangfu is in Qiu Jinglan's hands, and it probably paves the way for revenge - but Chu Yitong's father is still there, and there are more brothers and sisters, nephews and nieces, which are like Qiu Jinglan and Qiu Lulan, which are two points for brothers and sisters.

Although the Huainan Royal Mansion supports her daughter for political interests, it is impossible for her to choose all the treasury of the Hefu. Qiu Yulan really loves her mother-in-law, she doesn't care about throwing money, and she has an ally with a wide range of channels like Shui Jin, so she easily compares her share!

"This is too shameless for me!" Chu Yitong didn't have any problems with Qiu Yulan in the past, but at this moment he still felt unhappy in his heart, "The tacit rules in everyone, this kind of thing, regardless of how generous each other's hands are, are all in the order of the eldest and youngest!" The ginseng sent by these nineteen brothers and sisters directly compared to the Ganoderma lucidum I sent...... Aren't you despising me as a step-room?! ”

But then there was something that made her even more angry - after Mrs. Zhuang asked her to put away the ginseng, she asked how the yard where her daughter lived before leaving the pavilion was cleaned?

Chu Yitong, the eldest daughter-in-law, was responsible for this matter, and when she heard this, she hurriedly replied: "It's all cleaned up!" The craftsman was asked to repaint it, and the bedding and other things were replaced with new ones, as were the plants and trees in the courtyard. ”

emphasized, "The daughter-in-law thinks that after the eighteenth sister comes back with her brother-in-law, since the mother wants to keep them at home, Fu'er will definitely go back to her parents!" There is a lotus pond in the yard of the eighteenth sister, Fu'er can now walk, although there are constantly people around, it is impossible to ask him to get close to the pool, but the daughter-in-law still took it upon herself to build a low railing around the lotus pond to avoid accidents! ”

Sure enough, Mrs. Zhuang was very satisfied with her move, and smiled: "This thing is well done!" If you are afraid of everything, it is better to be able to take precautions than to regret it afterwards! ”

But then he said to Qiu Yulan, "You will go over there with your sister-in-law and see if there is anything missing?" ”

Qiu Yulan didn't know that the ginseng she sent offended her sister-in-law, but she knew that since Chu Yitong had taken over the mission to prepare a place for her sister-in-law to live in Guining Xiaozhu as the eldest daughter-in-law, it would be annoying for her to intervene again. Just as she was about to excuse herself, Mrs. Zhuang said again: "I heard that you were good with Eighteen before you entered the door, and you should be clear about her preferences." ”

This can be regarded as explaining to the eldest daughter-in-law that she doesn't distrust her, just because she was not familiar with Jiang Qizheng before, and she may not have Qiu Yulan's vision and habits to understand Jiang Qizheng - but the relationship between Qiu Yulan and her eldest sister-in-law before entering the door is really not as affectionate as Mrs. Zhuang thought, looking at Chu Yitong's face at this moment, she really felt that she was lying down, opened her mouth, and said with a dry smile: "Mother, you don't know, daughter-in-law doesn't need to look at it at all!" How carefully do you want your sister-in-law to do things, your daughter-in-law dares to pack a ticket, and her sister-in-law has asked the people who served the eighteenth sister in the house before! ”

As he spoke, he gave Chu Yitong a look.

Chu Yitong saw that she was interested, and the resentment in her heart was slightly relieved, and she smiled: "Back to my mother's words, when my daughter-in-law cleaned up, I did consult the people who had served the eighteenth sister before, and also consulted a few mothers around my grandmother who watched the eighteenth sister grow up!" ”

Mrs. Zhuang didn't mention letting Qiu Lulan go to check Chu Yitong's preparatory work, but instead praised her eldest daughter-in-law for her thoughtfulness.

"Alas! Everyone! Qiu Yulan, who had returned to his yard after inviting Wan'an, exhaled in annoyance, adjusted his emotions, and said resolutely, "What about the three little ancestors?" You can hug it! ”

Su He and the others looked at her almost tragic expression and snickered, how old are the two grandsons and cousins? The young lady can't stand it now, what will they do when they grow up to the age when they really hate chickens and dogs?

was laughing, Chun Ran walked over: "Young lady, the word is from the son's side, please prepare a congratulatory gift for marriage!" ”

Qiu Yulan was surprised: "For whom?" ”

"The search for the imperial history under the hands of the child, and the sixth grandson of Xue Xiang's granddaughter."

"Feather Creek?" Qiu Yulan showed a hint of surprise, "Last year, I also told Nineteen that it was not a matter that he had never married, so I had to tell him a few ladies to see if there was fate...... Why did you suddenly marry Langqing? ”

In the spring of the year she came out of the cabinet, Xunyuxi was like Qiu Jinglan speculated, the title of the gold list, and Jiang Yashuang became the same scholar.

However, the ranking was not very high, and he did not enter Hanlin; Second, although his family is relatively wealthy than ordinary people, it is far worse than the three generations of powerful ministers like Jiang Yashuang, so he stayed up with his qualifications step by step - last year, due to Qiu Yulan's pregnancy, Jiang Yashuang recruited staff to share affairs with him, although Xun Yuxi had an official position and did not be a staff member, but he also expressed his intention to get closer.

After the activities of Jiang Yashuang, he came out of the previous Qingshui Yamen and entered the Yushi Terrace.

Now it is the history of serving the emperor from the six products.

This person has a house and a car, his parents died, he is tall and handsome, and he is still a serious Jinshi, in his early years, he was Qiu Jinglan's husband who tried his best to recommend to his sister, and it is said that lifelong events should not be delayed until now - but he is unlucky: before he was not on the list, everyone's beautiful father and brother looked down on him; In the year of the middle list, the battle between the second queen was in full swing, and as soon as several major events happened, it was too late for each family to discuss the situation, look at the wind, and consider standing in line, how could they be in the mood to dig this good husband candidate for their daughter and granddaughter?

It's easy for the battle between the two queens to come to a conclusion, and then the Jiang family is infighting!

Although he weighed the situation and took refuge in Jiang Yashuang, he still had a bit of a literati style, and he was unwilling to submit to the little girl, but he also disdained to take the initiative to climb the high gate, so his marriage was delayed.

I didn't expect to marry the Xue family now.

Chun Ran said: "It is said that this family affair was decided by Xue Xiang himself, and the Tao took a fancy to him because he was talented and good-looking, and his temperament was also kind. ”

"That's just as well!" Qiu Yulan nodded, thinking that the Xue family had kept Xue Rongqing all these years, and it seemed that they had the intention of giving Qiu Jinglan a promise, but the marriage between Qiu Jinglan and Ou Qinglan was established, but there was no hope. At this time, it is reasonable to settle for the next best thing, and it is reasonable to choose a husband suitable for Xue Rongqing.

"But isn't Xue Xiang very busy lately? How can you have the kung fu to personally this heart for your granddaughter? I remember that he was similar to Qin Guogong, and he was very concerned about his granddaughter, but he didn't care very much...... "Since Xue Chang is Qiu Jinglan's important political ally, Qiu Changlan naturally attaches great importance to the relationship with their family, and at this moment, based on his understanding of the past, he feels a little strange, "Whatever this lord thinks, it should be done by Xue Fangchao and his wife...... Well, maybe it's to give dignity to the granddaughter and prospective grandson-in-law, so it's announced under the banner of Xue Xiang? ”
