The Jiang family knew nothing about the emperor's thoughts.

After all, the two border armies are in hand, the court and the central government are also full of cronies, and the emperor has always been so docile and sensible, it is normal for him to relax his vigilance.

Qiu Liulan, who didn't know that he had been regarded by the emperor as a stepping stone to seize power, was discussing the lifelong event of the swing with He Shuijin: "The Cheng family really asked again?" ”

"Can I still entertain you with such a thing?" He Shuijin slowly peeled an orange, threw the orange peel into a small incense burner not far away, burned out the fragrance of the room, and said, "When the niece landed and set up wine at home to celebrate, the Cheng family came to congratulate, Mrs. Yin looked at a loophole, and pulled me to the corner to talk about it - said that Cheng Xide really likes the person of Yishu County Lord, but Qiu Nie is not optimistic that he and Yishu County Lord can talk, so I want to ask me to tell you about it, see if there is really no hope?" ”

Mrs. Yin is Cheng Jin's eldest daughter-in-law and Xue Rongying's wife Cheng Guoxi's sister-in-law.

"Not only Qiu Nie is not optimistic, but I also don't understand, according to Cheng Xide, who I inquired about, he is a gentleman, he has been familiar with the books of sages since he was a child, and he pays the most attention to women's virtue and deeds, right?" Qiu Yulan groaned, Cheng's family style has always been good, it is said that there are family rules that only when you are fifty years old and childless are allowed to take concubines, this kind of family with a good reputation also cherishes feathers, and the woman who is not born in a good family and has a reputation that is not virtuous enough, it stands to reason that no matter how noble her background is, she will not be given priority.

How can you repeatedly propose to the swing?

In addition to the word "Shu" in the title, compared with those orthodox ladylike women, it is not too much to say that she is a little demon girl. No matter how Qiu Yulan looks, she can't see that she will attract the Cheng family - if she only attracts Cheng Xide, she can also say that everyone loves green vegetables and radishes, but now the Cheng family is also helping to propose, which is worth pondering:

"The Cheng family relies on the big tree of Xue Xiang, although it has nothing to do with our Jiang family, but its position is also extremely stable. Looking at their usual behavior, their discipline is not low, it is not like Xue Xiang is not dead, so they are thinking about finding another backer...... If it wasn't for the Jiang family, could it be 'Tianya'? It doesn't feel like a ...... If for this, ask the Xue family to help match and invest money, why bother to get married to a champion? ”

She was thinking about it, and said to Shui Jin: "There are no outsiders here, so I'll tell you the truth: you are also from here, do you really think that a gentleman only likes dignified women?" ”

"That's for sure." Qiu Yulan said, "After all, everyone's preferences are different. "Actually, the stupid and stupid boy is basically matched with the eccentric eldest lady......

"Isn't this the end of it?" He Shuijin didn't think there was anything wrong with this, because the pair of Jiang Yashuang and Qiu Lulan refreshed her cognition, "I'm two years older than the nineteenth, and I can say that I grew up watching him grow up when I was older—I always felt that he was so obedient, sensible and filial when he was a child, and he would definitely find a virtuous wife like the first eight sisters-in-law!" When you first met him, I was honestly surprised! ”

Qiu Yulan was a little speechless: "This is really different. I'll say something offensive to people, although Nineteen used to be very honest, but sister-in-law, think about this family...... Are others honest? Dishonest people, he has long been used to it! He didn't hate and complain about his family for embarrassing him, so it can be seen that although he doesn't toss, he is not very disgusted with people and things that he tosses. However, the Cheng family is said to be relatively old-fashioned. ”

"It's a little old-fashioned, but it's not really a little bit inflexible!" He Shui Jin said, "You think that although Cheng Xide is Cheng Jin's junior, but against his champion, Cheng Jin will not force him to go!" Cheng Xide himself was not moved, how could the Cheng family mention it again and again? And I don't think you need to keep paddling the swing to the background of the grass, in terms of bloodline, she is your cousin, the wealth of the Xihe Mansion is enough to trace back to the founding of the country, not to mention the Cheng family at that time, no one knows where the Xue family, the backer of the Cheng family, is, right?! In terms of upbringing, she was also from Mr. Shao's disciple back then; In terms of identity, now that you are the lord of the county, how can you be a noblewoman. You said that the Cheng family doesn't even have the lowest title so far, what qualifications do you have to look down on her?! ”

Qiu Yulan groaned: "It's not that I look down on it, but I think it's a bit out of harmony...... But just like what you said, sister-in-law, since the Cheng family came to this for the second time, it can be seen that they are sincere. In this way, when I am out of confinement, invite Mei Xue to come over to the house to discuss. ”

and the goal of water and gold was achieved, and he happily said goodbye: "Then I'll wait for your news!" ”

That night, Qiu Yulan told her husband about the matter: "I heard that Qiu Nie refused last time, so I said that this matter would end here, and I didn't care about it anymore." Unexpectedly, the Cheng family was really concerned, and even asked the fourteenth sister-in-law to deliver the message - do you say that the Cheng family is so enthusiastic about matching Cheng Xide and the swing, is it sincere or has other plans? ”

Jiang Yashuang could see it: "If you don't have a picture, you have to see what the picture is, if it's not too much, and it's good for Yishu, I don't think it's anything." ”

Qiu Yulan thought about it, and said: "Then when I am out of confinement, I will ask Mei Xue and Swing to come over and have a good talk!" The age of the swing is really not young, and if you don't get married, it will be a trouble to find a husband in the future! ”

So the matter was written down.

At this time, it was less than ten days before she was out of confinement - two or three days later, when Kapok was waiting for her, Mulan came in and said: "Aunt Gu is here, saying that she has something to ask you!" ”

"Please? Hui Shan is still young, she is not in the yard to watch her daughter, come to me to ask for something? Qiu Yulan was quite puzzled and said, "Come in with her!" ”

…… At the beginning of the year, Gu Qianna and Jiang Qizheng broke the news of pregnancy, and the two gave birth to both daughters in October this year, and both mother and daughter were safe.

Among them, Jiang Qizheng's daughter was named Qiu Yehe with her brother and sister, and Miss Twenty-two Sun from Gu Qianna chose the word "Shan". The two children are only full moon now, and the confinement of the biological mother is not a few days, it is said that they should be concentrating on taking the child and recuperating the body.

After a while, Gu Qianna was brought in, and after saying goodbye, she said, "The expenses in our room for this month ......"

"Wait, isn't this supposed to be told to the eighth sister-in-law? Why are you looking for me? Qiu Yulan was taken aback when she took out the account book to read while she spoke, and interrupted.

"The eighth young lady has severe morning sickness, and she can't get up at all!" Gu Qianna sighed, "I wish my mother to accompany me day and night, I really don't have the time to take care of things." Let the concubine take care of it for a few days, and when you are filial, please hold it! There are a few accounts today, and the concubine can't call the shots, so I wish my mother to let the concubine come over and ask you! ”

Qiu Yulan hurriedly asked, "Does the eighth sister-in-law matter?" ”

"I wish my mother that there is no other problem, but I vomited a lot, and I changed a few pairs of medicines to eat, but it still didn't work." Gu Qianna said, "I can only wait a few days to see if it will be better." ”

In this case, Qiu Yulan really has to take a hand, after all, Sheng Shushui is not there, and the two daughters-in-law of her and Chu Yitong in the fourth room can't let Gu Qianna and her aunt be in charge of the house - fortunately, the fourth room is not the home of the Guogong Mansion, and the so-called account book is such a thing in his own room, which doesn't take much effort.

Qiu Yulan asked a few more sentences about Chu Yitong's diet, expressing enough concern as a brother and daughter-in-law, and then began to ask about the accounts.

She didn't hear anything wrong in it, and confirmed with Gu Qianna that she couldn't be the master, so she bowed her head and said: "Then you can take care of it for a few days, I can't go out now, but it's inconvenient." When I'm out of confinement, you'll give it to me. ”

Gu Qianna retreated after answering, took a step, but turned around hesitantly: "Nineteen young ladies ......"

"What's wrong?"

"Shan'er has been crying a lot for the past few days, and after the doctor saw it, he said that it was because the material for making her swaddling clothes was not very good." Gu Qianna was a little embarrassed, and said cautiously, "But this can only be used in the current case...... The Eighth Young Lady is in chaos, and the concubine is not good at trouble. ”

In order not to let the Kui County man squander too much of the property of the national government, and the water and gold have been reduced since the first half of the year, because the second and fifth rooms are still in Beijing, so this has not been added. The main family has a dowry that can be subsidized, and the impact is not very great, and there is no such treatment as a concubine.

Although Gu Qianna's background is noble, she was lucky to be able to survive in a desperate situation when she ran out of the Zhou Wangfu, and how much softness can she clean up? As soon as this degree is deducted, she will inevitably not take advantage of it. I can still bear it, but the child who is only full moon, you ask her to endure it, she can't understand, and if she is uncomfortable, she will cry and make trouble, and be a mother. Where can I bear it?

It's Yigu Grace who can only bite the bullet and beg to come to the people who overlooked it in the past.

Qiu Yulan looked at her deeply: "The child is frail, and he is a girl, and he is extraordinarily delicate - you should have said it earlier." ”

It's called Mulan, "Go to the warehouse and pick up the materials for our swaddling clothes......"

"No, no, no!" Gu Qianna hurriedly said, "The concubine body means that you can take the swaddling clothes that the fourteenth grandson and the seventeenth grandson can't use, and give a few Shan'er!" How dare you ask for something new? ”

"An'er and Lang'er are both boys, and the swaddling colors they use are not necessarily suitable for Shan'er. So let's get a new one, it's about to be a New Year, and it's more festive to use the new one! Qiu Yulan's expression was flat, and she sighed in her heart: I think that when the Empress Dowager Gu and the Guangyang Palace were still alive, what kind of stars and moons Gu was graceful? Le Xin and other serious princesses are not polite in front of her, and they dare not be contemptuous.

Now that she is secretly giving birth, not only is she a concubine, but even her own daughter needs to put down her shelf and beg if she wants some better material packages......

…… Gu Grace and Mulan went to the warehouse to pick up materials, Kapok is young, although she was sold to Beijing as a slave in her early years, she no longer remembers the former Princess Shou'an, she smiled when she saw this, and said: "This Aunt Gu is so blessed to meet a kind person like the young lady!" The swaddling clothes used by Mr. Sun and Miss Sun in our yard are all good things! The grandchildren and grandchildren in the other rooms may not be able to use it, but the twenty-second Miss Sun has paid high luck! ”

Jiang Yashuang is still in the process of forming forces, but he has invested all the income he has, and it can be said that he has no money to spare. The things in the warehouse are all Qiu Yulan's private rooms, most of them are dowries, and each piece was carefully selected by Qiu Jinglan back then.

With the vision of Qiu Jinglan's prince, the experience of the owner of "Tianya" with total assets of more than 10 million, and the psychology of guilt and compensation for his sister, it is natural to focus on only looking at the quality of things and not the price.

Hugh used so much material and time to look at the children's swaddling clothes, but Kapok knew that from Jiang Jingkun and Jiang Jinglang, to the twenty-three Miss Sun who had not yet drawn up a name, just took out their swaddling clothes and sold them according to the fabric, even if they were used, the price was not expensive - even if the texture was a complete layman, just by looking at it could be sure of its preciousness.

As a big girl, Kapok is also very good in terms of food and clothing, and I still feel that this material is terrifyingly expensive. Seeing that Aunt Gu begged, Qiu Lulan asked Mulan to take her to the library to pick at will, and she was a little envious and jealous in her heart, she originally wanted to praise Qiu Lulan's generosity, but when she said it, she had a sour meaning, "The young lady also allowed her to go into the warehouse to choose by herself, but today it has opened her eyes!" ”

But I didn't want Qiu Yulan to say lightly: "Open your eyes? You also underestimate her too much, what kind of scene did she not see back then? It's the things in my warehouse, she can't say that she had them all back then, probably all of them! ”

Kapok was stunned.
