When she returned home in the evening, the third cousin told the third brother-in-law what Mrs. Mo said: "...... You say, let's kiss each other, okay? When she asked this, the third cousin's eyes had a little expectation in her eyes.

Marriage is the best way to get married to two families. The two had never talked about it before, and the third cousin didn't know what her husband was planning in his heart.

The third brother-in-law couldn't help but groan: "As the saying goes, daughter Xiao's mother." There is nothing to say about the character and morality of the ninth sister...... "His tone was slight, "It's just that the ninth brother-in-law is already a second-class high-ranking official at a young age, and he has the merit of being a dragon, and the future of the Zhao family is bright...... It may not be able to see the spring cakes we love......" There was a little hesitation between his eyebrows.

The three cousins were happy and worried.

The joy is that the husband agrees to kiss the ninth sister's family, but the worry is how to open this.? If it happens, it will naturally be a happy thing. In case Sister Jiu has other arrangements for Youyou, how can she be embarrassed to go to Zhao's house often in the future?

For a while, she couldn't sit or stand. On the day of Brother Han'er's 100th day, he was in a trance.

Mrs. Wu teased her: "What? The third aunt is heartbroken for silver? Things can be sent out, and heartache is useless. ”

Brother Han's first birthday gift, the Shen family gave a pair of red gold bracelets, a pair of red gold anklets, two sets of engraved silk clothes, two sets of lake silk clothes, two pairs of shoes and socks, one side of the inkstone, and one box of lake pens. Among the relatives, it can be regarded as the first one.

"Mrs. Wu, where is the word?" The third cousin hurriedly gathered her thoughts, cheered up and entertained the female relatives around her, "I just envy the ninth sister for adding another son, which can't help but be sour." ”

It was interesting for everyone to hear her. They all burst out laughing.

Fu Tingyun glared at the third cousin even more coquettishly, grabbed a handful of dates and stuffed them into the arms of the third cousin: "The third sister eats dates." ”

It made everyone laugh again.

In the midst of the excitement, Bao Shu hurriedly opened the curtain and entered: "Madam, the second master asked me to tell you that the Marquis of Wuding and his wife have come to give the third young master a birthday gift." ”

The people in the room were stunned.

On the main hall that day, although the Empress Dowager's words revealed the meaning of making Meng and Fu Tingyun closer, but out of the palace, Meng did not intersect with Fu Tingyun because of this. Fu Tingyun thought about it for a long time, and still sent a gift to the Marquis of Wuding during the Dragon Boat Festival. The Marquis of Wuding accepted the gift, and then returned the gift. August 15 and the Spring Festival. It was also the Boxing Gift sent by Fu Tingyun first. For this reason, Fu Tingyun also muttered to Yuwei in private: "There is the words of the Empress Dowager and her old man, but let's do it." Inevitably a little disrespectful, send it, the Marquis of Wuding is so lukewarm, it seems that we are climbing on them. It makes people feel unhappy. Thinking that Zhao Ling was not at home, Brother Han'er's 100-day gift did not post to the Marquis of Wuding's mansion.

I never thought that Wuding Hou and Meng would come uninvited.

Fu Tingyun couldn't help but look at the rain.

Yu shook her head again and again, indicating that she was definitely not talking nonsense.

Of course, Fu Tingyun would not suspect Yuwei, Yuwei's appearance made her can't help but smile, and she got up and went to greet Meng with the women in the house.

Meng Shi wore a true red gold-covered jacket and a red gold step, dignified and solemn. It shows the importance of being a guest at the Zhao family.

Fu Tingyun was a little surprised, and stepped forward to salute Meng's family.

Just before she knelt down, Meng Shi took two steps forward and took her hand: "When you and I were girls, we had the fate to meet at the Empress Dowager, and we can be regarded as boudoir friends." Don't talk to me about these false courtesies. "The attitude is affectionate but not excessive, which makes people feel like a spring breeze. Feel comfortable.

Fu Tingyun secretly admired, politely greeted her, and introduced the female clothes behind her to her.

Meng Shi laughed with everyone in a cordial manner, and was accompanied by Fu Tingyun to the inner room.

Fu Tingyun hugged Brother Han and came over to show her.

She gave a pair of jade locks with red gold inlaid with mutton fat jade as a greeting gift, and hugged Brother Han for a while, and then asked the other children: "Why don't you see your sister and brother?" ”

"The child is naughty." Fu Tingyun smiled and said, "Today, there was a feast at home, so I detained them in the house. ”

"It's good for children to be naughty, alert and strong." Meng Shi smiled, "It's the first time I've come, so I have to recognize people." Otherwise, wouldn't it be a joke if you don't know each other when you meet? ”

The so-called "child naughty" is just Fu Tingyun's humble words. The children are lively and cute, well-behaved and sensible, and they are not afraid to go anywhere. She smiled and asked Yuwei to bring the children over.

The children respectfully saluted Meng.

Meng Shi took Yo You's hand and asked Brother Xi and Brother Xu what they said.

The two children were both articulate and spoke clearly, Meng Shi couldn't help nodding, and the smile reached the bottom of his eyes, and his expression was a little cheerful.

Fu Tingyun thought of the emptiness under her knees, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

As if he felt something, Meng suddenly turned around and smiled at Fu Tingyun, and said, "Have you ever said that your sister is close?" ”

Fu Tingyun was taken aback, and couldn't help but say, "Yoyo is still young, we weren't prepared to settle down for her so early." ”

Meng nodded with a smile, turned his head and talked to a few children again.

Fu Tingyun's heartstrings tightened.

Was Meng's remark intentional or unintentional?

She was born in the Fuguo Mansion and married into the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, and the people who came and went were either nobles or royal relatives. If she intends to help Yoyou say goodbye, the other party is definitely not a child of an ordinary family.

Qi Da is not even.

She herself has suffered like this, and she never thought of marrying Yoyou into such a complicated minister's family, let alone the royal family.

What I am most afraid of is that the Meng family thinks highly of himself and wants to marry Youyou for the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion.

You must know that the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion has no concubines until now......

Fu Tingyun had a trace of worry in his eyes.

The third cousin, who was sitting quietly on the side, gritted her teeth.

After eating the main banquet at noon, Meng Shi was ready to go back and asked the maids around him to go to the outer courtyard to see if the banquet of Marquis Wuding had dispersed.

The maid came back and whispered a few words in Meng's ear.

When Meng Shi heard this, he said: "Our Hou Ye, Lord Qin, and Second Master Zhao are drinking happily, saying that they will not leave until they have eaten the afternoon feast. She said. He pursed his lips at Fu Tingyun and smiled, "Our Hou Ye doesn't like to socialize with people, but I didn't expect to come to your house and not leave." It can be seen that this is also fate. ”

Fu Tingyun forcibly suppressed the surprise in his heart, and said to Meng Shi with a smile that was not obvious: "It's too late to welcome the concubine, it's a pity that the wine feast is not good, and I have wronged the Hou Ye." ”

"The marquis of the elixir and jade liquid in the palace also often drinks it, but he has never been as interested as he is today." Meng Shi quietly complimented Fu Tingyun. "It can be seen that Mrs. Zhao's wine feast is well organized, which makes Hou Ye feel more comfortable than drinking that elixir and jade liquid."

Fu Tingyun was busy and humble.

The two of them were talking like this, and the others sat and listened with smiles. It makes the original lively wine feast deserted.

It's easy to use up the evening feast, and everyone has dispersed one after another, and Dingyuan Hou has not yet dispersed. Fu Tingyun had no choice but to continue to talk with Meng Shi until he knocked more and the drunken Marquis of Dingyuan said goodbye.

Yuwei whispered to Fu Tingyun: "When Mrs. Dingyuanhou's maid went to invite Dingyuanhou just now, Dingyuanhou seemed to have drunk too much, and even said to Meng Shi in front of everyone, 'If you are impatient, go back, I want to drink two good here'." ”

Fu Tingyun frowned, closed the door and wrote a letter to Zhao Ling, told him his worries, and asked Anxin to send the letter overnight.

Early the next morning, the third cousin ran over. Pulled her to the ear room and spoke: "...... Do you know why the Marquis of Dingyuan and his wife came together yesterday? ”

Fu Tingyun was anxious and hurriedly said, "What have you heard?" ”

The third cousin said in a low voice: "After the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion suffered that catastrophe, the people withered, and there were no outstanding characters. Today's glory and wealth are just relying on the grace of the Queen Mother to the emperor. The Empress Dowager is very old, and she is afraid that the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion will gradually decline after a hundred years. This helped the Marquis of Dingyuan to make friends with the emperor's favored ministers, so that someone could help the Marquis of Dingyuan speak in front of the emperor in the future. ”

"Not only do I know this, but Qin Feiyu and they know," Fu Tingyun said a little impatiently, "There is nothing that people in Kyoto don't know. ”

"Then do you know that the emperor wants to set up a governor of Yunnan and Guizhou in Yunnan and Guizhou to control the guards and capitals of Yunnan and Guizhou?" The third cousin asked.

Fu Tingyun was stunned.

She also thought that the third cousin had heard the gossip that Meng Shi had asked Yo You if she had not decided to marry!

Fu Tingyun's expression relaxed.

The third cousin showed an angry expression: "Did you understand!" Governor of Yunnan and Guizhou. Your family Zhao Ling is the most likely! That's from a product! Do you know from a product? If the ninth brother-in-law became the governor of Yungui, his status would be different. That's why the Marquis of Wuding and his wife only condescended to the noble ...... yesterday."

"Ninth Master's hope shouldn't be great, right?" Hearing that it had nothing to do with Youyou, Fu Tingyun smiled and said, "The emperor just rewarded him, it is impossible for him to be promoted again so quickly......"

"Ouch," the third cousin said hurriedly, "you have to fight for everything." With that, he pulled her up, "Go and change your clothes, and ask Mr. Wei to help me get an idea." ”

Fu Tingyun took the third cousin's hand: "Third sister, since you all know it, you must also know it." I think that whether it is the emperor or Mr. Zhen, he must have his own opinions. I'm afraid it's a bit inappropriate for us to get involved in this way. It's better to tell the ninth master and let him make his own decision! ”

The third cousin was stunned.

Fu Tingyun smiled brightly and nodded at her. Pulled her to sit on the kang near the window: "The third sister came over so early, did she have breakfast?" Today, the kitchen made mille-feuille, the third sister might as well taste it! ”

"You ......" the third cousin bit her lip, "you really don't care?" ”

Fu Tingyun said implicitly: "There are some things that can only be one, but they can't be repeated. ”

The third cousin sighed and no longer talked about it, but asked about Youyou's marriage: "If the Meng family really proposes marriage to their eldest son......

"Even if she asked Yizhi, I wouldn't agree." Fu Tingyun's eyebrows were a little aggressive.

The third cousin wanted to speak and stopped.

Fu Tingyun was upset by this incident, and did not think about the strange appearance of the third cousin, but lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and said, "But you are right, I have to meet Mr. Zhen...... There are some things that you still have to ask the emperor to come forward. ”

As soon as her words fell, Baoshu ran in.

"Madam," he looked a little anxious, "I want to see you at ease." ”
